About o'clock i'll the afternoon Of q
muddy day the thin man left the Rock

east side Of Lasalle street. The side
walk i'll front of new building was
nearly ankle deep with mud. Planks
had been laid across the area of black

these planlks just as fat man who was
coming from tho direction of the board

of the men walked with his head down

with his right foot into the mud anu

him. The thin man hunted for what Inc

Only Southern City Never Under the

From the Buffalo Courier.
A man who recently has returned from
Key West, Fla. says the first impression
a stranger gets of that place at the present
time is that the city has gone on a per-
petual holiday spree. Bunting. flies from
almost every housetop. and the colors are
about evenly divided between "Old Glory"
and the emblem of the Cuban republic.
People of all classes and ages wear pins
other symbols bearing the motto CUBA

This far southern city. lying almost
within the tropics, Is the only town Of
that was never under the stars and bars

about evenly divided between white Cubans,
colored Cubans and white Bahamians.
There are not more than a score of real
American families resident on the island.
but notwithstanding this fact the great
mass Of the people are loyal to the Union

though true, that of all the houses, dwell
ings. stores. hotels ard other buildings that
dot the island from one shore to the other,
not one of them has a chimney or any
thing that Will answer the purpose of a
chimney. Handsome residences and lowly
novels are alike in this respect, and from
an eminence, gazing out over acres of
roofs on all sides, one is struck with the
want of something to complete the SYM
metry of the picture. Wood and coal or
fuel of any kind are unknown quantities, as
the tropical atmosphere furnishes at all
times of the year all the heat required,
and for cooking purposes sticks Of carbon
are used. which are sold by peddlers, who
hawk their wares about the streets.
There are few stores. as we understand
such things, and no markets. Sign boards
in Spanish will tell You where the barber
shop is located. or where 20 buy coral orna-
ments. There are no more than half a
dozen stores conducted on the American
plan IN the island
Instead of a market there Is a daily auc-
ton near the government dock. where
everything in the way of provisions. fur

highest bidder. Bananas, alligator pears
and pineappies are the commoncst articles

Cuba and Nassau in the Bahamas, unload
their cargoes and dispose of them at ruin
