mester workman, Henry A. Hicks, who
was elected by the general assembly at

makes some ringing utterances which
are Intended for the order at large.
He insists that this should be made the

of the order be says have not all yet

are obnoxious laws to be repea ed such
as the conspiracy law. ard Others that

citizens. Laws fer municipal owner

present tax laws, discriminating in
their tendencies, real property being
burdened beyond what is just, because
personal property is allowed to escape
its fair sh are of the burden of taxation.
All these matters, says the head of the
order, should demand the earnest at
tention of the scores of thousands
whoses names are upon its rolls.

Discourteous Treatment.

Much bitter feeling as been engen-
dere1 by tie way the pol CO in Juarez
treated several Americans, especially
ladies. at the bull pen last Sunday.
Ladies and gentlemen, who had tick-
cts for the bull fights went up the steps
gsin an entrance, not knowing the
amphitheatr was already filled, and
when they reached the top they were
unceremonious' grabbed by ragged
policeman and pushed to the bottom of
the stairway. They were treated so
rudely that murmurs went through the
of tn cir own medicine and if a move
have been handled very roughly by the
crowd outside
There is quite difference in the
way Mexican citizens are treated on
this side when there is a large gather
ing. The police here do not start in to
handling the Mexican ladies roughly
or to try to throw them down stairs
but instead quietly check the whole
crowd and hold them back by persua-
sion, not by brute force. 1t is probable
thst'if the chief of police at Juarez had
been at the entrance of the bull pen
things would have been different than
they were last Sunday and no bitter
feeling would have been engendered,
but If such acts are again repeated
against American ladies there is liable
to be trouble. Let the Juarez author
tiles put officers at the entrance of the
bull pen who are capable of judging
ladies from the general rabble and the
scene of Sunday will not be repeated.

Fitzhueh Lees French.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who is arranging to
return to his post at Havana, recently
told of his first visit to Cuba, says the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Tribune. That was several years
ago, when Gen. Lee accompanied EXPIRES
ldent Cleveland Mr.. Bayard, Don Dick
inson and others to Havana. 1--WE had a
pretty good time" said Gen. Lee, when
telling the story; went to the theater, and
listened to some profound observations
from Mr. Bayard on the drama, and were
entertained royalty. The entertainment
that 1 remember best was one given by
Salamanca who was then captain-general
of the island. 1t was given in the palace
and was equal to any state dinner IN tne
white house Besides our own distinguish
ed party, there were some French otncers
of note in Havana at that time, and they
were among the guests. Mr.. Cleveland
was, of course, the guest of honor. lie
had the captain-general on one side and
another distinguished Spanish official on
the other side of him. They couldn't I'M
derstand a syllable of English, and Mr..
Cleveland could not speak a word of Span
ish. 1t was a pretty long two hours for
him. 1 myself tried to help along the con-
versation not in Spanish, because the Ian
guage was strange to me, but with the
Frenchmen. 1t was too good dinner to
eat in silence. Mr.. Bayard, you know, is
a thorough French scholar but the table
was a long one and he couldn't do all the
talking. so 1 decided to take hand. When
1 was a cadet at West Point 1 studied
French. That was a good while ago but
I thought the parley-voo would come back
to me- There was one of the French Off
GERS sitting opposite me who had Don DICK
inson on one side and a Spanish official
on the other. He, too, was pretty lone

and replied Voluby. Then / brought up
my reinforcements. They were mostly
French verbs. Again he replied. Then
there was silence for a period and 1 at

surprised, but he brought his troops right

troops were a staggering lot of sentences
He was getting the best of the Skirmish

to look for me to agree with what he said

moseer! When he seemed to expect me
to disagree with him I would shake my
head sternly and say, Non, non, moseer!
In that way we had a pretty animated
conversation. Don Dickinson, Mr.. Cleve-
land himself and all the rest of our party
were envying me- 1 could see that from
tneR looks. wen, just as the ulilher Drohe
up, the Frenchman got into a little con-
versation with Mr.. Bayard. knew from
his looks he was talking about me, and
plumed myself that he was complimenting
me for being so civil. When we came
away 1 asked Mr.. Bayardn what the
Frenchman had been saying. He was ask
ing what language the military-looking
gentleman, meaning yourself, spoke That
thing upset me so that 1 haven't ventur-
ed to talk to a Frenchman in his own
language since that dinner"

An Anecdote of Dnna.

Thomas Roche relates as follows, in the
New Haven Register, story that is good,
even if unfounded:
1t has been said of the late Charles A.
Dana that he took great delight in poking
fun at mankind in general; but have seen
1t nowhere stated that he could appreci
ate good joke, even when it was on him
self. Nevertheless he could, and often
did. The writer once heard of an occa-
sion when Mr.. Dana found it convenient
to board an "L' train on his way down
town to the Sun office. When he entered
the car he found the seats all occupied
and a goodly number of passengers stand
ing and holding the straps. Mr.. Dana did
likewise. At the slow-up at the next sta
ton the standing passengers were jostled
somewhat, and, of course, bumped against
each other Dana bumped against the
passenger next to him, and, being a phi
losopher, he retained his leaning position,
so that at the next stop he would have a
safe cushion. But before the succeeding
station was reached the passenger, a young
man, upon whom he was leaning became
tired of supporting the weight of his in
voluntary burden, and, turning to Dana,
said:
MY dear sir, had you your breakfast
this morning?'
Certainly, sir" replied Dana. "Why?''
please lean on it, them
1t is needless to say those persons who
overheard the retort Uttered. But Dana
went into commissions. When the hilarity
ceased he turned to his questioner and very
cordially told him that was the best joke
he heard in a great while. He would like
to have permission to print it in his pa
per.
Certainly, SIR" came the reply; ''you
can have it. What paper do you work
on?" .
1.-THE SUM- am the editor, C. A. Dana"
"Oh! excuse me. am a reporter on that
paper"
More laughter followed, and the editor
and reporter left the car together, their
faces beaming with smiles.
