CHOSEN FRIENDS.
Enjoy Thoroughly a Days Outing in
Aue's Park.

Enjoy Thoroughly Days Outing in
Aue's Park.
The fourth annual picnic and outing
of the Order of Chosen Friends of this
city took place yesterday in the beau
tiful grove on the Arkansas Pass rail-
way known as Aue's park.
The day was an ideal one for the
thorough enjoyment of a days outing
and the beautiful grounds selected for
the picnic were an ideal spot to spend
such a day, being as they are nestled
in a valley rich with green verdure and
surrounded on all sides by the tower
mountains.
Two trains conveyed the merry pic
nickers to their destination, one leav-
ing the depot at $3.50 in the morning
and one leaving at in the afternoon.
Each train was well filed and by the
time the last one was rid of its load at
the grounds the park was literally
swarming with people.
The morning was spent in rambling
about over the beautiful grounds,
dancing and listening to the address
ses made by Messrs. Theodore Har-
ris and Theodore Mueller, the former
in English and the latter in German.
Both gentlemen delivered very eulogis-
tic talks on the beneyolence and worth
of the order,
In the afternoon dancing was like
wise INDUCED in until the arrival of
the second train, when the program of
sports was taken I'D and completed.
1t consisted of several races and va
rious other athletic contests as well
as horse and bicycle races, the whole
being brought to a close by the fancy
rifle shooting by Mr.. Adolph Topper
wein-"Tep"-the champion rifleshot
of Texas.
Part of the crowd of picnickers re-
turned on the 6 o'clock train, but the
larger part of the young folks remain
ed over for the night train.
When the threatening clouds ap-
peared they retired to Aue's hall a
quarter of a mile distant and had a
joyous time with dancing, etc. A few
remained on the ground, however, and
got good baptism. The belated ex-
curriers' train got to the Arkansas Pass
depot at the midnight hour.
The success of the affair is mainly
due to the earnest efforts of Mr.Da-
vid Sanders, supreme warden of the
lodges, assisted by the delegates from
the various lodges.

CALHoUN's REPORT.

New York, June 7.-Commissioner
Calhoun, who is back from Cuba, was
interviewed today:
"At the session of the commission"
Calhoun said in response to a report
er's questioning, I'VE examined several
witnesses, but when you ask me if they
were plentiful 1 can only say, they did
not run after us and we had to use
force to keep them away. They were
composed of Spaniards and Cubans.
The Spanish witnesses, and in fact all
of those who testified were so sur
rounded with safeguards that it was
impossible to get at the naked truth
One person whom we would have liked
to hear could not be found. This was
Fonddevielle, who commanded the
Spanish of Guanaboca territory. He
disappeared and it was impossible to
find him. Capt. Gen. Weyler did not
put in appearance at the investigation.
We inspected the Jail at Guanaboca
and when we were there 1t was sus-
piciously clean.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Residence of Mr.. Potter Suffers
Last Evenings Storm.

Residence of Mr.. Potter Suffers in
Last Evenings Storm.
During the terrific electrical and rain
storm last night, a bolt of lightning
struck the back gallery Of the resi-
dence of Mr.. Potter at 10 Cactus
street, pretty badly demolishing that
part of the house, rendering Mrs. Pot
ter unconscious from the shock and
badly frightening the other members
of the family as we'll as the neighbors.
The lightning struck one of the posts
of the gallery, splitting it into splin-
tiers, ran through the floor knocking
out a round hole and also struck the
corner of the house tearing off the
corner board and the siding.
Mr.. Potter was sitting almost in the
door leading to the gallery and says
he never saw the bolt at all, that he
only felt a warmness flash over him
and then he saw his gallery was torn
up and that his wife had been rem
dered unconscious.
The damage to the house will amount
to about $50.

SPANS PRISONERS.
All Cubans are Held as Such without
Food of any Kind.

Chicago, June THE Trlbune's spe-

Cuba, June 2, says: Spain holds the
rural population of Cuba as prisoners
of war in prison camps. Unlike any
other nation which claims to be civil
lied, she does not feed her prisoners
of war There is no means of learn
ing the exact number of concentrates
but the American consul who has made
a careful study says it is more than
$4,000. In not all places are they hem
med in by trochas and barb wire
fences as at Campo Florida, but they

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Crazy Patent Lawyer Shoots a Lady
and Then Himself.


and Then Himself.
Washington, June THE throng of
clerks and others hurrying up Penn
sylvania avenue, near Az street about
ten minutes to nine this morning were
startled by the attempted murder of
Miss Dorothy E. Squires, and the sui
eide of Charles Barber, a patent at
torney, who attained much notoriety
of late by his eccentric actions. Bar
Der shot Miss Squires and then turned
the revolver on himself put a pistol ball
through his brain, causing almost in
slant death. Miss Squires is still alive
but the extent of her injuries is not yet
known. Barber had considerable pat
emit practice, but had grown more and
more eccentric for several years and of
late years many of his friends thought
him mentally unbalanced. Miss
Squires formerly worked for him as
stenographer and upon leaving his en-
ploy, he annoyed her with his atten-
tons, threatening to injure her if she
would not permit him to call. Finally
matters became so serious she had to
appeal to the courts for protection,
and he was placed under bond to keep
peace he seems not to have desisted,
however Barber came to Washington
from Plattburg, N. Y, and was associ-
ated in few cases with the late Ben
jamin Butler, of Massachusetts,.

TODAY'S GAMES.

San Antonio at Houston.
Austin at Galveston.
Fort Worth at Denison.
Dallas at Paris.
Just little basehit,
Just a little run,
But the hit it never came
And now we're on the bum.
Bill Kohnle made dash for home,
But Bill wouldn't slide
And before he reached the plate
You're out!" the umpire cried.
Now Bill didn't watch the play,
AS he should have done,
And it happened just this way
That we didn't get that run.
CHARLEY Weber was on first base
And for second he made a start,
But old Bill he wouldn't chase
And came home like an old ox-cart.
Yes, We lost the game by poor, care
less, stupid baserunning. Neither the
Senators nor the Bronchos were hitting
the ball and the only way to win the
game was to keep our heads on the
bases.
But we are not kicking-got no kick
coming-not even a hard luck story.
The umpire didn't rob us, either. We
were beaten, only slightly, but beaten
just the same.
1t was a game that was worth any
body's money and one that only a fast
ball player could keep pace with. The
contest wasn't over till the last inning
when it was suddenly terminated by
a homerun drive of Johnnipet or Petit
john or some such name. But it was
not the name-it was the drive. Man,
think of it. One out-struck out-and
this fellow up and spoils 1t all. Too
bad, too bad, but the umpire didn't do
it-nothing but a clean earned run.
But It was an exciting game. Inter-
est never Jagged for one instant and
the twelve hundred spectators were all
attention. They observed every little
play and watched every movement of
the players with an interesting mien.

There is much curious sea lore In an

or less affected by the speed and course Of
the vessel A glance at the fly having
shown the winds direction, a glance Mt
the binnaole shows from what point Of the
compass IL comes. Then, by watching the
fly, and thus keeping the ship always at
the Same angle to the wind, you are able
10 keep her on her course.
The ships Of different nations have dis
tinotive flies. The Amesican and the Eng

their distinguishing marks.
Steering by the fly is one way Of steering
by the wind, but there are other tricks
