SPANISH BOATS SEIZED.
They Were Fishing On American
Water And Were Taken In

They Were Fishing On American
Water And Were Taken In
New York, December 1S.-According
to a correspondent of the Herald in
Punta Corda, Florida, the United
States Revenue Cutter McLane,
Captain Reynolds, has arrived there
with several Spanish fishing smacks
that were seized for violation of the
navigation laws.
The smacks have been turned over
to the custody of the customs author
lite. The officers of the McLane re-
port that while cruisino along the
coast in the vicinity of Chariot har-
Dor, they discovered the vessels fish
ing in American waters. On the ap-
proach of the cutter the Spaniards
made an attempt to escape, but were
apprehended, an officer placed aboard
and under the escort of the McLane
were brought in port.
The vessels are owned in Havana
and were fishing for that market.
They have neither registers nor for
eign clearance, but are merely provid-
ed with a permit from the Spanish
authorities authorizing them to fish
on the high seas.
Owing to the scarcity of fish on the
Cuban coast the shallow waters of
Florida bay with an almost ineNhaus-
tible supply, offer special inducements
to those vessels who assemble at all
times in the vicinity of Dry Tortugas
and along the entire west coast of
Florida.
Complaints have frequently been
lodged against them, charging them
with smuggling liquors and landing
refugees from Cuba, thus menaciug
the health of the entire gulf coast by
introducing yellow fever and small
pox. The seizure of the seven smacks
it is said, is for the failure of their
masters to report arrival at the Gus
tom house, required by section 2,7T3,
of the revised statutes. The masters
claim that their arrival was not vol
untary, but that they were compelled
to seek the water on account of the
bad weather.
In view of the fact that several suits
against Captain Wiley, late COM
mander of the McLane, are now pend
ing in the United States District court
because of seizures made of Spanish
fishing vessels, in this district under
similar conditions, the outcome OF the
present case is awaited with interest
The matter has been reported to
Washington.

ZANOLI IN THE T0MBS.
Thought To Have Made a Confession
To Rev. Barkemeyer.

To Rev. Barkemeyer.
New York, Dec. 1S.-The Journal
and Advertiser says:
Charles Zanoli is reported on the au-
thority of an official at the tombs, to
have made a confession of his guilt
to Rev. G. C. Berkemeyer, superin-
tendent of the Wartburg Orphan
Farm school at Pelhamville.
The conversation between the pris-
oner and his clerical visitor was in
German and the words Zanoli used in
conversation confirmed the belief of
the police that he is one of the most
infamous murderers of the century.
swell, there seems to be no more
hope for me" was the words which the
prisoner used to his reverend visitor
ats all up, guess"
The motive of Mr.. Berkemeyer's
visit to the tombs was to see if he
could Identify Zanoli as the man who
had left two Children little boy and
a little girl-in his care at the orphans
home.
'sThats the man." he exclaimed.
$50 those children were little Lottie
and little Charlie"
Mr.. Berkemeyer went into Zanolfs
cell and they exchanged greetings.
According to the stories that foud
currency in the tombs last night the
prisoner was heard to say: "Well, l
guess there's no more hope for me; /
guess it's all up with me-"
Further, it is stated that the pris-
oner and his reverend visitor entered
into a long and earnest conversation
which was punctuated with the sobs
of Zanoli. and the conversation dealt
with the charges made against the
barber. The most important of all,
those who were in position to inter
cent the prison gossip, assert that
Zanoli confessed to the clergyman
some. at least, of the charges that
hod hnen made against him.

1t was no fOrlOrn hope of the Ivys to
take one game from the CaSinso in last
nights series. The Ivys had the Cas-
mos guessing for while in the first
game, but the Champions by good
work in the fifth inning gained a lead
which won them the game. The Jvys
rallied in the last inning. but fell ten
pins short from tieing the score.
The second game belonged to the
Ivys. The Casinos opened strong
compared to the poor start made by
Captain Gittingers Society Lions, but
this did not dishearten the latter. The
game was young and the lvys opened
the second inning with renewed conf
dence. The Casinos lead of fifteen
pins was reduced to four and in the
third inning the Ivys passed their OPP
pOnentS by twentythree pins. The
Giants were not in il after that and the
game went to the Lions by 56 pins.
This is the Casinos sixth defeat
against twenty-five victories. The
Athletics have taken two games from
the Champions on the formers alley at
Turner hall, and are the only team that
defeated the Casinos in two consecu-
tive games. The Alamos took two
games from the leaders. one at SOM
mers' garden and another at Casino
hall. being the only team that won a
game from the Casinos on the latter'S
alley. The Turner's defeated the Cas-
mos by one pin at Turner hall, and the
Ivys defeated the Giants at Mission
garden last night and played tie with
them on the Casinos alley the night be-
fore, requiring extra innings to decide
the game. -,
Following are the scores of last
nights games:

Casinos $500. 45 80 A. "a 60 41-255

1t is rumored that arrangements are
under way for series of games be-
tween the Turner's and Casinos to be
played at Sommers' garden. These
games promise to be exceedingly in
teresting contests. as both teams are
composed of some of the best bowlers
in the city, and there has been great
deal of rivalry existing between them

attack by the strong germ.
Third-The mosquito never swallows
human blood 1t cannot, The fact
that its body becomes discolored and
swells, while probing, is caused by the
discoloratlon of the lymph in contact
with the blood and the muscular eff
fort of inserting the probe.
Fourth--A mosquito will never insert
its lancet in a person not susceptible to
an attack of malaria, In this respect,
Its sense is more accurate than the
most skilled and experienced patholo-
gist. This also proves, not only its I'M
erring instinct, but that it never
wounds unnecessarily. Its thrusts are
those of a skilled and human surgeon,
and even more unselfish, for hope of a
fee never quickens him, nor does the
malediction of his patient deter him in
the fulfilment of his duty.
Remember, then, that the presence of
mosquito is an infallible sign that
malaria is in the air, and that you are
exposed to it, and when you hear that
well-known but solemn note of warn
ing, do not treat him as foe but as a
friend.-Boston Evening Transcript.

y0nE KANSAS CRaNKINEss.

Kansas has boycotted capital and
common sense and now some of It's
cranky inhabitants are planning to boy
colt religion. Because certain Presby-
terrain and Methodist ministers have
had the courage of their convictions.
and, in their capacity as citizens en-
dowed with the rights of free speech
and free thought, have pronounced
themselves in favor Of sound money,
leading populists of Kansas have issued
a ukase that these churches must be
driven out of the State. The people are
exhorted to refuse all aid and support
to them, and neither to listen nor con-
tribute to the support Of their preach
ers. The prediction is gravely made
that this anti-religious boycott will
bring many Presbyterian and Metho-
dist ministers and their families face
to face with starvation. and so compel
them to emigrate from the State.
Poor old Kansas! What she really
needs is a boycott of Populism. If she
doesn't institute such a boycott soon
there will not be much else left there
to boycott.

THE RESCUE OF JIMMY.
Captain Mahem was a hard man '

Captain Mahem was hard man with
soft spot. That soft spot was his
friendship for little Jimmy Gregg. and
dated from the winter when the child
was lost in the Nevada sasebrush.
According to the point of view, the
captain was the best man or the worst
who ever bossed railroad construc-
ton camp. Ask the leading contrac-
tors, and they would tell you that he
was an Al man, who could get more
work out of his gang than any foreman
on the line. Leave it to the men who
did the work, and you would learn that
he was the meanest and most abusive
old hustler who ever gave a man his
time for laying down his shovel to light
a pipe. There were ugly stories told
about his practice of eye gouging in a
fight, and his reputation was sufficient
to keep his camp the quietest of them
all.
In December the camp contained
about forty men and teams, one woman
and two children. The inventory is not
complete without including one old
raw-boned horse, a sort Of camp fol-
lower who subsisted on the leavings of
the work-mules. He was owned by

ROSTON,S ALnERMNN,

During the formation of new char
ter for New Haven attention was called
to the fact that this city doesn't really
need local legislature with two
branches, and it was also pointed out
that at least part Of the one body
might be elected differently than by
has passed bill that abolishes the
cumbersome Common Council Of Bos-
that body into a board of aldermen
consisting of one from each ward
(twenty-fve) and twelve at large, or
thirty seven in all. In favor of this
plan it is urged that it has been found
advantageous in large cities. 1t is
claimed that under it business is more
expeditiously transacted, there is less
log rolling" and fewer mistakes in
legislation il a fair degree of care is
exercised in the selection of the alder
men. One such body, having all the
responsibility for what is done, feels it
more and takes greater pains in it's
work, knowing that having acted it
will be judged inevitably by results,
which it cannot dodge, nor shoulder
off upon some other set of men. There
is no divided responsibility.
The one-board idea didn't get into
the new charter made for New Haven
but it appears to be more consistent
with one-man government than two
boards will be-

SCIENCE OF THE MOSQUITO.

There are our truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has es-
tablished:
First-A mosquito cannot live in air
free from malarial poison. Untainted
air has the same effect on him as a
healthy community on a doctor, 1t de-
prives him of patients, and he must go
to less favored localities to practice his
profession.
Second-The lymph, which flows
through an automatic valve when it in
serts its proboscis. contains a modified
germ of the malarial fever, and, ac-
cording to the well-ssttled law of in
oculation, the introduction of the weak

A far-reaching opinion on the legal
question of liens on corporations was
rendered recently by Judge Of the
United States Court at Indianapolis
A preferred claim of 500 for legal SER
vices had been filed against a bank
rupt railroad corporation, under pro-
vision of the corporation law passed in
1853, which gave the citizens of the
state a lien TO the amount of stG0 for
debts originally contracted within the
state. The receiver admitted the JUS
tice of the claim, but objected to maxi
ing it preferred claim, and insisted
that the statute was invalid, by reason
of its repugnancy to provision of the
constitution of the United States that
1.-THE citizens of each state shall be en-
titled to all the privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens in the several states -
Judge Baker said: THE Legislature is
possessed of the unquestionable power
to provide that the debts of corpora
tions, TO limited amount, shall take
priority over liens or mortgages. The
corporation having been granted cor
porate existence on that express con-
dition, it cannot repudiate the provision

BURE4U OF JUSTICE.

While Chicago Is afflicted with much

shield in front of those who through
