they feel may, at any in

serious or fatal illness.

A TelI.TaIe Mirror.

Recently the governor OF one Of our
county prisons was greatly perplexed
by the discovery that the female Grim
inals in his charge managed in some
mysterious manner to ascertain the
presence of every individual man on
the other side of the impervious divid-
ing barrier which separates the male
from the female worshipers in the jail
chapel, Gays a writer in the London
Hospital.
One of the women inadvertently
made ON exclamation showing that
she had suddenly become aware that
her husband was within the same
walls, although his presence ought,
according to the rule, to have been
completely unknown to her. None OF
the officers could account for an I'M
PERMITTED knowledge, which was found
to be shared by all other women. AT
last n very careful examination of the
chapel gave an explanation of the mys-
terry.
Although strictly divided, as we
have said, both the male and the fe'
male prisoners faced the altar in their
seats, and oyer it had been fixed n
very large brass cross against the wall,
go highly polished as to form n very
good mirror, and in its clear surface
the m saw the reflection of every
man as he passed to his place, and
had enjoyed the spectacle with impu'
nifty till the wife's affection oyercame
her discretion. The brass cross in

WINTER CARE OF STRAWBERRIES.

1t does not pay TO heavily mulch
strawberries, especially early in the
season. Some freezing of the soil is
beneficial, making its surface much
looser and moro 5ermeable to rains
and air. What is wanted of the mulch
is to prevent the alternate freezing
and thawing OF thu soil. which will
throw out or break the strawberry
roots just as it will wheat roots. The
strawberry plant is hardy and not
injured by a singh freeze, provided
it does not go down below the
lowest roots or continue with a bare
snowless surface all winter. II after
the ground is frozen a little straw
or course manure Is thrown over the
plants, it will pretent repeated thaw-
ing on sunny days in winter and
freezing up during the following night.
In spring this straw or manure should
be thrown off the zines and placed as
mulch between the rows. Where
pine or spruos-@ughs are plentiful
they make the b protection. They
shade the grouna, and at the same
time give the Hants air. even when
covered by deep 4ows. Another adj
vantage is that they cannot furnish
weed seeds to interfere with straw
berry growth during the next summer.

Two bundled armed men rode into Amite
City about 10 o'clock and vera joined there
by n larger party. There was no attempt Mt

broken in and the steel cage where the muir

The mob originally had no intention OF in

Jail for the murder OF his wife, but it was
determined nevertheless TO lynch him ana

QUEEN ON ARBITRATION.
Refers With Qualification to the Treaty
With the United States.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPENED.

TIE Speech From the Throne Read In
Joint Session in the House of Lords---
Salisbury Lauds Arbitration---Treaiy
Diminishes the Risks OF war.--Brlngs
Nations Togethsr--Address Cheered.
LONDON, England (By CableJ.-The third
session of the Fourteenth Parliament was
opened Tuesday with the usual ceremonies,
including the Formally OF searching the
vaults o fthe Parliament buildings for a pos
sible duy Fawkes. United States Ambassador
Bavard and Secretary Carter were present in
the House Of Lords. Senator Edward o.
wolcott, of Colorado, was in the "distln-
guished strangers gallery in the House Of
Commons.
That part OF the Queens speech devoted
to the arbitration treaties was as follows:
any Government has discussed with the
United States, acting as a friend OF Vene-
zuela, the terms w~hereunder pending ques-
tions of the disputed frontier between that
republic and my colony OF British CUBAN
may be eauitably submitted to arbitration,
aud an arrangement has been arrived at with
that Government which will, l trust, effect
an adjustment OF existing controversies With
out exposing to risk the interests OF any OF
the cokonists whose established rights are in
the disputed territory.
at is with much qualification that l have
concluded a treaty for general arbitration
with the President OF the United States by
which I trust that all differences that may
arise between us will be peacefully adjusted.
1 nope that this arrangement Ia have
further value In commencing to other pow
ers the consideration OF the principle by
which the danger of war may be notably
abated."
The Marquis of Salisbury said in response
in regard to tho treaty OF arbitration just
concluded with tho United States, that no
could not spenk fully on the subject, because
the agreement had not yet been ratified.
He hoped, however. that something would
be lone to diminish the risk OF war. He
would not say that the treaty would remove
the greatest risks of war or restrain a Ma
poleon or Bismarck, but the policy with
the United States was full OF al indefinite
number OF small differences, which, como
times exaggerated, caused irritation
and enmity. The tribunal Of arbitra-
ton would settle these differences.
Lord Salisbury pictured the nations
groaning under excessive ornaments, a
declared that the Government believed the
measure they hal taken was valuable In that
it would lead 10 the gradual disappear
ance OF vast ornaments before the
growth of the tendency to substitute
judicial decisions for the coarse arbiirament
OF war. This would be something to look
back upon. In conclusion, Lord Salisbury
said: III nope that the effort, small as 1t Is,
will be so successful that others more extern
siye and more successful will be made" The
Prime Minister was heartily cheered when
he finished his speech.

After the'peace or pact OF Sauion,a as
il is called, which closed the war OF
1873, there was what is termed by the
Cubans "the little war" A few Of the
more stubborn chiefs refused to treat
on any other terms than independence
for the island, and, having but little
faith in the promise of Spain through
General Martinez Campos, waged an
active guerrilla warfare for fully q
year after. One of the b~est-known
leaders, perhaps the foremost one in
this '1lftle war" was Antonio Maceo.
On "a clandestine visit to one of his
many silent adherents, accompanied
only by two of his faithful and de-
voted soldiers, he was surprised by a
squad of nine ''guardia c~iviles' while
at dinner with his host, a small coffee
planter. The sentinel had hardly
time to warn him before the house was
surrounded, and the Spanish sergeant,
from behind a protecting mango tree,
summoned Maceo and his two men to
surrender. Knowing what the conse-
quence would be for the host, his wife
and their child, a boy of seven, if they
were taken, his first thought was for
their safety; and, bidding them to
leave by the rear, il his ruse was sue
c~essful, he calmly told the sergeant OF
of his Willingness to discuss the terms
Of his surrender. After Home parley
at long distance, Maceo proposed
that he and his escort lay down their
rifles, the guardis civiles to do the
same in plain sight. The sergeant
consented to this, and upon the terms
being carried out promised freedom
to his escort and good treatment to
Maceo. The latter asked for a few
minutes to consider the proposition.
and marched back with his escort into
the house, leaving the rifles outside.
The sergeant waited until, becoming
impatient, he again demanded sur
render, to meet with the information
that the owner of the plantation had
escaped and the threat that within
thirty minutes Maceo's men would be
there to turn the tables. The capture
of Maceo meant promotion and a large
reward, and the sergeant decided to
attack the three men, who were armed
at most with revolyers and machetes.
The door to the house had been in
willingly left open, and into this the
Spaniards rushed, to be met near the
threshold by a volley Of revolver bull
lets which laid four of them PROSTATE.
Five, however, gained entrance, to be
attached with the terrible machete,
and of this number n recovered
from his wounds to tell of his expert
eAce. Maceo escaped with a bullet in
his shoulder; one of his escort was
killed ON the spot and the other died
soon after from his wounds. New

Olney for more than an hour. The Secretary.
who drew the general treaty Of arbitration be.

Much of the talk about the committee table
was OF nu interlocutory character, and sever

Davis, asked numerous questions of the Sec

Of the scope of treaty. The questions pro-
pounded indicated quite plainly an antag-

intention of Senators to insist upon its

is intimated that action cannot possibly bs

For the second time the Denton
collection of butterflies and moths is
on exhibition at the American art gal
leries in New York. Last year this
collection attracted much attention,
and this year it returns nearly dou-
BILE in size, and including lep1doptera
from ali parts of the world. In order
to obtain some of these specimens, tie
collectors braved the dangers of ex-
ploration in islands infected by AN
nibals and threaded the jungles of
India. One of the notable new speci-
mems is the owl moth of Brazil, which
measures more than a foot from wing
tip to wing tip. Unlike the collections
of last year, this collection isssnot for
sale piecemesl. If it is not sold dur
ing the exhibition, which will last
three weeks, Mr.. Denton will take it
to London and exhibit it there. There
are about 1900 specimens, exclusive
of duplicates. Boston Transcript.
