CHEW" YORK AND BROOKLYN.
These Are the Nick Names of the
Sons of Prince George.

Sons of Prince George.
To be only five places out in the right
of succession to the throne of England,
says a London exchange, is no inconsijer-
able claim to notice, and this is the status
of little Lady Maud Duff, Princess Louise
of Wales second daughter, who is now
four years old. When Prince George,
her uncle, married, she had only four
lives between her and the presumptive
heirship-the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of York, her mother and her elder sister.
The birth of Prince Georges two sons
who have been nicknamed the "New"
York and the Brooklyn by an irreverent
humorist-have put her back good
deal. 1t is not supposed, however, that
her happy childhood is at all embittered
by the fading of her chances of sover-
eighty. Like her sister, she is very
pretty and lively child, and resembles her
beautiful grandmother to an extent that
promises well for her looks.

Louisville. 8, Cleveland, 1.

Louisville, April 22.-Ten thousand
people saw the Colonies defeat Patsy Te-
beaus Indians in the first championship
game of the season today. The home
team outplayed their opponents both in
the field and at the bat. The Clevelands
scored their first and only run in the first
inning on Burkett's single, sacrifice,
FraZer's wild pitch and an infield hit. For
the remainder of the game Frazer had
the Indians at his mercy, allowing them
but three singles. Young pitched good
ball until the sixth inning, when four
singles and a sacrifice hit netted three
earned runs. The fielding of Werden,
Rogers and Clingman was the greatest
feature. Mayor Todd pitched the first
ball across the plate, and then made a
short address to the players of both
teams. The usual street parade took
place before the game.

"Nebuchadnezzar Sandwiches,

Most of us have partaken of those dain-
ty little sandwiches consisting of a let
tuce leaf or sprig of watercress or some
other bit of green between the bread.
But do most of us know the latest name
for them? It's an altogether fit and tax
ing title, and it has, besides, the flavor of
scriptural association. 1t is "Nebuchad-
nezZar sandwiches"

several RUTHLESS BALLOTS CAST
DebOe Leads-Congressmen Evans
Has Lightning Rod Up-TwO
Hunter Men Say They VIII
Vote for Martin.

Frankfort April 22.AThe adjourned
rial candidate was tonight held with
closed doors, and there was much excite.
ment about the capitol. DR.. Hunters
withdrawal last night brought host Of
candidates on the ground. This, as was,
evident during the day, embarrassed the
caucus tonight. Congressman Evans
arrived from Washington early in the
day. Maj. Curtis Nj. Burnam of Rich
mond urged State Senator John Bennett
for the place, and he is regarded as
dangerous candidate if a deadlock should
occur between Deboe and Holt in the eau
Gus. Deboe and Holt, the former Hunt
er's preference, were acknowledged from
the first as the strongest in the list, and
so it proved in the caucus thus far to-
night Congressman Walter e. Evans
was an aspirant, but has not yet devel-
oped much strength. st. John Rbyle,
Congressman Lewis and Senator Bennett
were only two or three points ahead Of
Evans. There were 60 present at to-.
nights caucus, 80 necessary to choice..
The regular Hunter republicans, as O,
rule, voted for Deboe. The first ballot
resulted: Judge w. II. Holt, 10; CON-
gresham Walter Il. Evans, 3; w. J. De-
Doe, DO John w. Lewis, g; st. John
Boyle, 5; John Bennett, 5.
Evans, 3; Lewis, 3; Boyle, 3; Bennett, g..
On the third ballot Deboe had 81 votes.
Holt Is, the rest unchanged.
In the fourth ballot there was no
change.
AT the end of the eighth ballot Senator
Steve moved to adjourn, but some OF the
Deboe-Hunter men showing opposition.
he promptly withdrew the motion.
The ninth and tenth ballots resulted IN
no material change.
| Before the eleventh ballot was taken
Mr.. Garrett offered a motion to drop the
hindmost man. The Holt people, through
| Mr.. Lieberth, moved to table the motion
and mustered 36 votes with which to do
| the tabling. This meant that there would,
be no dropping at all, If the chair ruled as
the Holt men would demand, and that
| in the future similar resolutions could
not be considered.
Balloting was then resumed. Finally
a motion to adjourn until tomorrow night
came from Senator Petri. The anti-De-
Doe men began voting for it.
Mr.. Steglitz of the Deboe side wanted
to explain his vote. He said of they
stayed here they could nominate man.
If they did not nominate tonight he would
vote for Henry Martin tomorrow.
| This caused an uproar. Mr.. Burnam
denied the right of Mr.. Steglitz to remain
in the caucus after such threat. Things
quoted down finally, and the anti-Deboe
people voted for adjournment solidly. II
was exactly midnight when the adjourn
| ment WAS takpn StpplitZ was not tho
only Hunter-Deboe man who revOlted.
Rev., Blackburn said after the caucus
that he would vote for Henry Martin.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S,-The World
this morning prints. an interview with
General Ruis Rivera obtained in the
field near Cameo, near Pinar del Rio.
In this interview, General Rivera says:
'I do not wish to criticise our friends
in the United States, for believe them
(referrlng to the 5unta), patriotic men
and striving to do their best for Cuba,
but we here in Plnar del Rio have been
somewhat neglected.
Great reliance was placed upon
General Maceo, our beloved comman-
der, and II was thought that he could
not only defeat the enemy in the pro-
vince, but finally make junction with
Gomez. But he knew, and our friends
should have known also, that four or
five or ten thousand men, poorly arm
ed and most of the time with but
scanty ammunition, could not prevail
against $1,000 well armed and well-fed
troops. One or two swell e&pedlhohs
landed, one at Corrientes Bay, but
otherwise for nine months we have
been depending upon our strategy ana
knowledge OF the province to Keep us
out OF a pitched BATTLE.
speaking with reference to cannon:
/ wish 1t could be communicated to our
friends in the United States that cannon
are more in the way Of ourselves than
that of the enemy in this province. In
the first place they are inconvenient to
take over the hills, through the district
OF Managua and among the woods. The
cannon we have now represent an out
lay of $1,000 or $1,000. and yet almost one
thousand rifles could be purchased for
that sum. OF course we are
in a position to assault Havana, heavy
guns VIII be necessity. Do. We eX-
pect to? No, not very soon, about the
end of the winter, hope"
There Is certainly nothing to he
gained by making statements that are
untrue, or that do not believe in my
self. II would be wrong for me TO give
our friends in the United states the
impression that we are perfectly able
to take care of ourselves, no matter
what happens"
Some OF my best friends may crtti-
else me for speaking so plainly, but l
wish the Cubans Of New York, Phila-
delphia, Jacksonville and Key West to
know we here In Pinar del Rio. like our
brothers of the orient, are willing to
die for Cuba or to win. We cannot
fight alone with out hands nor even
with machetes, against an enemy that
Is fully equipped, fed and drilled"

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. ~
There are some disappointments over
senate committee places, but on the
whole. President Whitaker Is COM
nended for his fairness and good juds-
nent. To the best of his knowledge he
has put the right man in the right
place. Speaker Hanen will announce

a level head, will be chairman OF tax
alton and finance. The effort has been

training and careful methods.

ready looked upon as safe man with
ambition to make record OF faithful
and efficient service Blon,of Ohio coun-
ty or Toler, of Knnawha, will be
chairman of the labor or mines and
mining. The probability is that Toler
will have mines and mining and Blon
labor.
This legislature will be called on to
deal with a printing, binding and
stationary deficiency OF about $4,000.
There has been good deal OF talk
about investigating the matter and to-
morrow resolution will be offered IN

mttee. before which the claim Will

tention to keep the contractor out OF
dollar OF his money and there Is no
intention 20 allow him to get a cent
more than is his due.
Charleston Is making great prepara-
tions for the governors inauguration.
The affair IS to be made the biggest oc-
casion of the kind IN the history OF the
