Nearly all Of the roads declare that their conpei-

while on my way to this country from

scene" said j. Bunncker, of Hong Kong,
China, at the Auditorium hotel yesterday,
says the Chicago Chronicle. with about 500
other passengers that filed the steamship
Majestic 1 was endeavoring to pass the trip
in congenial way. Among the passengers
was young American from one of the South
ern States He had been in Europe for over a
wear. and had lately returned from Monte
Carlo where he had lost large sum of
money He tried to make up his loss on
board the ship. I was among the number
that played cards with him. While the stake
was pretty heavy no man stood to lose more
than f100 at one sitting. Luck was against
this young man, and he soon lost all the
money he had left.
.I was informed that a certain young
woman on board the ship was his fancee
She was accompanied by her parents, and I
was told the young couple we're to be married
soon after arriving in this country. AS the
young man lost his last bill he jumped up
from the table and made hurried exit from
the cabin in which we were playing. With
another player I followed him, and just in
time as it proved afterward. Rushing to the
side of the vessel the rash fellow was about
to leap overheard. His promised wife was
on deck at the time, and scream from her
attracted the crowd. He was caught in time
and taken to his cabin. Here he begged that
he be allowed to kill himself, as he was
ruined. How 1t turned out cannot say.

an honorable reconciliation between the con-
Cuba now within the present rainy season
would probably not only rescue from destruc-
tion the large interests of the Americans there
at stake and serve to re-establish an impor-
tant branch Of our nations commerce, but
would prevent further loss of life, destruction
of property, widespread distress, hunger and
suffering that are inevitably increasing ac-
compartments of an armed conflict, such as
has existed for over two years now In Cuba.
Your subscribers especially solicit your speedy
consideration of this matter, desiring relief for
their own large interests involved and desir-
ing also to aid in securing the estimable
blessings of peace for one and half million
of residents of the island of Cuba now en-
during unspeakabe distress and suffering
The great cause Of true humanity will
be furthered jointly with that of American
commerce by such measures as your subscrib-
ers trust you may deem expedient at this
juncture,

Londoner just Deceased Retained
That Relic of King Georges Time.
There has recently died in the East
End of London an old gentleman "a
centenarian), who is locally reported
to be the last person in England to
wear that curious fashion Of head dress
common in George ILLS time, a pig
tail"
With his queer little queue Of white
hair, nattily tied behind with a knot
of blue ribbon, his corded knee -breeches
and low buckle shoes. a large lowered
waist coat down to the hips, and plum
colored open coat that showed the big
frilled shirt and tight stock, the old man
was quite a picturesque feature amid
rather squalid surroundings.
He had been considered quite a
dandy in his youth, and the new fash
ions were none of them so smart as
when he played the lady killer, about
Boney's time"
He was very vain Of his tail, and
often prided himself, In his weak, qua
vering voice, of being "the only gentle
man left that was dressed as a real
gentleman should be-" His sole regret
was that he was obliged to have his
hair braided by others, when his own
poor hands grew too feeble to perform
the duty; but to the very last he al
ways chose his own particular tint Of
hair-ribbon, a certain correct shade
Of dark indigo blue.

The merchant was puzzled and
thoughtful, says the Chicago Evening
Post.
That's a pretty hard proposition" "
he said to the young man. LAS I un-
derstand it you complain because your
hat, your coat, your overcoat, your
vest, your shirt, your collar, your neck
tie, your shoes, your golf stockings and
even your trousers are duplicated In
the wardrobe Of the up-to-date girl,
and you are anxious now to get some

tionably masculine"
That's It," said the young man. II

cred something in the clothing line that

'I don't think of anything of that

chances are that some woman would

The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-18

the long continuance Of the struggle now go
ing on in the island of Cuba, desire to pre-
sent for your careful consideration the fol,
lowing facts in the hope that you may find
in them a sufficient justification of this
memorial and may be able to devise measures
whereby the termination of the struggle be-
tween the armed forces In the island OF cuba
may be hastened and the sufferings and
losses of your subscribers may be relieved
and commerce may be re-establshed between
the United States and the Island OF Cuba
The magnitude of the American commerce
with the island of Cuba is readily shown by
citing the volume of trade with that island
for the years 1893, 1894 and 1895, in each or
which the value of our imports from CUBA
exceeded STE, ,0OO 900. Our exports to Cuba
ranged in value from 100000 to $50 600 COO
q year during these years, and had been
even greater in previous years during the
reciprocity treaty of the United States with
Spain.
The struggle in the island Of Cuba has
continued for more than two years, to the
serious arrangement OF our commerce with
the island, our imports from CUBA shrink
ing in value to some $50, ,000, 600 in 1896, and
our exports to Cuba In 1895 amounting to
only $1,000 900 so far as ascertainable. u
MANY of your subscribers moreover have inrI
terests in Cuba either as property holders oesl
holders of mortgages or in the shape OF busi-
ness credit advances, and your sunscrlners
see these interests, already seriously injured,
now threatened with annihilation by the con-
tinuance of a state of affairs, under which
we can neither operate any business in the
island for Cuba with safety nor take the pre-
cautions possible IN Ordinary times TO pro-
tect our interests.
The rainy season Is now at hand In Cuba,
and as military operations of any magnitude
are made virtually impossible for thenext five
months by reason of the tropical climate and
rains. the relative position of the two con-
tending parties cannot be greatly altered dur
ing the summer months.
1t appears to your subscribers tnat for the
reasons above cited they may venture to lay
thasa facts before YOU most appropriately at
