POOR BARONETS.
Some OF Them Are Always Conf
ri

Some of Them Are Always Coming
to Grief.
Mr.. Labouchere's sarcastic reference
to this lowest rank of the English hered-
itary titled order, "baronets and the
criminal classes" seems so very, very
apt, says recent London letter in an
exchange. Baronets insist upon going
wrong all the time. There are ut least
a half-dozen absolutely disreputablc
baronets prowling about the Strand at
this moment, cadging for shillings, free
meals and free drinks. If they can
manage to preserve n decent outward
appearance existence is not so difficult
Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape of a title before.
But the delight of knowing "a noble
man" soon passes when the succession
of small loans and general sponging is
realized. One of the worst of the dis
reputable baronet species now in evil
dence in London, and more or less in
the gutter, is the same man who a few
years ago was in the United States act
ing as advance agent or something sim
liar for theatrical company. Chicago,
Philadelphia and other cities remem-
Der the gentleman. His various swim
dies are as remarkable as they are in
genious.

FAULTY FINANClERING.
Failure of u Suddenly Devised Plan
to Save street Car Fare.

Failure of u Suddenly Devised Plan
to Save street Car Fare.
There is II man somewhere on the
South side who knows more about the
theory and practice of finance than he
did few days ago and all he did to gain
the knowledge was to jump off a street
car and pick up nickel which he saw
lying on the street, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Relating the circumstances later to a
friend he said:
ITS funny what fools some men are.
I saw that nickel after / had paid my
fare, and my first thought was that if L
jumped off and picked it up it would
make up for the nickel I had already
given the conductor. Having plenty of
time / did so. Of course I missed the
car which had originally boarded and
paid my fare. When the conductor
came around on the following car /
surrendered my newfound nickel with
a serene and satisfactory belief that my
ride had not cost me anything, having
paid for it with the nickel found in the
street
Then l began TO figure little. The
more l tried to solve the problem in
mathematics the more deeply became
involved. AS an actual fact had to
count my change before 1 discovered
that I had not only saved Il nickel, but
that 1 had contributed ten cents to the
company's Golfer and was still nick el
out of pocket

MOTOR CARS IN MODERN WAR.
British Military Men Engaged in Ex-
plotting n Novel Feature.

plotting n Novel Feature.
British military men are discussing
very seriously the possible uses in war
of the motor car-not of the imperfect
motor at which cabmen have jeered,
but of some idealized and perfected
motor car the pattern of which is still
laid up in the brain of an inventor. Mr..
Thornycroft, the torpedo boat builder,
has already made some successful trips
in what he calls n steam van, and is
not without hopes of improving upon
his idea. Where good roads exist n
trustworthy motor car might be made
to do excellent service in carrying pro-
visions and ammunition. In modern
battle it might well seem to be as much
out of place as Queen Boadicea's
scythed chariots, but it might be made
useful as a kind of movable, hospital
and for the conveyance of the wounded
to the rear. Armor plated and fur
nished with MaXims or other light and
quick-firing guns, the car might con-
ceivably be used to charge an enemy.
Caran D'Ache several months ago made
what he calls "Automobilism in War"
u subject of one of his caricatures. He
imagines an automatic clockwork sol
dier running on wheels and serving
the double purpose of u Stalldng-horse
and carrier of soldiers kit.

CAMEL,s EXPERIENCE.
sat Down So Much That His Hind
Legs Became Useless.


Legs Became Useless.
A large camel which was landed at
IIoboken IL few days ago from the
Bremen line steamer Dresden had an
experience which probably never before
fell to the lot of "ship of the desert. y
He made the voyage in Il large box,
Ind as there wasn't room enough in 1t
fol any self-respectinga ganimal the camel
sat down In sheer disgust He sat that
way for days and days while the ship
rolled and made all sorts of heavy
weather.
When the detected animal was finally
landed and tried to stand up, he couldn't
use his rear props at all. They had be-
come paralyzed with their long stay in
u cramped position. The camel wasn't
any good, it seemed, and, as a big price
had been paid for him, there was gen
eral lamentation. The camel was lin"
ON the lamentation. Such a picture of
woe was never seen in lIoboken.
At last IL genius suggested n radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in sling and hoisted up until
only his toes touched the ground. He
padded the air for IL spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise. They
lowered him to the floor, and, after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly, he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more. Once was
cnourh for him

AN outrage such as never been heard
of in decent human circles is that of a
preacher of Covington who has been
wearing the cloak of Christ in his visits
to jackson and Walling, and trying to
wiring a confession from them, and
then sell it for a few thousand dollars
to some sensational publisher to ap'
pease the morbid hunger of that class
of humanity which demands for its
sustenance blood pudding.
The man of cloth was frustrated in
his purpose, however, by Cincinnati
newspaper, and he will find that a de-
cent public does not let such an action
go without display of reactionary
scorn of such a nature as to take on
substance.

OVER in West Virginia the solons
have been at work on High Hat bill,
and it is the cause of considerable un-
rest in the Little Mountain State. One
Parkersburg lady writes of it-and not
without sense, too: "As for ourselves
we prefer to remove our hats in the the
atre, and are glad of the opportunity to
do so, but on the same principle that
man wears his hat where he pleases,
smokes and expectorates at his own
sweet will, makes himself obnoxious
by walking over dozen people in
order to get out between the acts to
see a man. we resent this bill as an
abridgment of our liberty in this land
of the free"

where He Drew the Line.

Among the first stories recorded by
Mr.. T, e. Pritt in his anglers Basket"
is one about a Scottish laird who was
relating the story of a fine fish he had
caught one day to his friends at the
dinner table. Donald" said he to the
servant behind his chair-an old man,
but a new servant-"how heavy was the
fish 1 took yesterday?" Donald neither
spoke nor moved. The laird repeated the
question. "Weel," replied Donald, it
was twaP pund at breakfast, it had got

THE POLITICIAN.

There is another awful miX-up con-
cerning Cuba. Whether Consul Gener-
al Fitz Lee actually did send in his
resignation or only threatened to do
SO, because of the failure of the admin
istration to support the demands he
made on Gen. WeYler in behalf of
American citizens arrested by the
sSpaniards in Cuba, will not be posi-
lively known until Secretary Olney re-
plies to the Senate resolution calling
for copies of all the correspondence
between Gen. Lee and the State De-
partment, and there seems actually to
be doubt as to whether Olney will
comply with that resolution. The
feeling is general in Congress that the
administration has never taken Con-
gress entirely into its confidence as to
its relations with Spain and as to it's
official information, and nothing but
the fact that the administration will
retire next week prevents some vigor.
GUS action on the part of Congress that
would make things warm for Cleve-
land and Olney. 1t would naturally
be supposed that Olney would have
given Senator Sherman, who is SO soon
to succeed him as Secretary of State,
all the information in his possession,
but it is known that he has not done
so. On the contrary, he told Senator
Sherman that there was no important
news from Cuba, when it is known
that he had in his possession a com
mnnicatien from Cousul Gen. Lee that
was OF the utmost Importance. 1t is
difficult to account for Olney's peculiar
action in this matter, which has re-
viyed much of the ugly talk about his
personal relations with the Spanish
minister. which was so prevalent some
time-ago.

DRUNKEN BEES.
Bumb,ebees That Gave Evidence of
Feeling Rcmorsc.

Feeling RcmOrsc-
7. i. Williams, in a note in the Jour
nal of Botany, points out certain facts
about bumblebees which viii be of in
terest to some humans. He says that
these insects often get drunk. Their
Intoxicating tipple is the honey pro-
duced by the crowded flowers of the
capitulate heads of certain compositae
and dipsasactae. When the stage of in
toXication is reached it is indicated by
rolling on the back, striking the legs
wildly in the air, and general helpless
ness.
The bees rapidly recovered from the
effects, and in most cases We're eager
to repeat the debauch; but one indi-
Vidual which had been shut up in a
Vasculum with copious supplies of CEN
taurea scabiosa manifested the next
morning a praiseworthy remorse and
| disgust, raising its head and forelegs
as high as it could above the plants,
then hurrying away as soon as released.
| The most dissolute species is the neuter
of bombus lapiderius. The reAorse
probably indicates the presence of the
headache, which in the highest animal
of all is so provocative of good resolu-
tions.
