Fowls COME HOME TO RoosT.

FOWLS COME HOME IO NOOSA'
There has been a good deal of row
in Spain over the assassination Of Prime
Minister Canovas del Castillo and the
threat to take the life of the boy King,
and the newspapers and statesmen OF
the kingdom are in despair, and are al
ternately threatening all sorts of things
and bewailing their sad lot and the
hard lines generally of their unhappy
country.
The Dons should cheer up. They
should reflect that in times past
they have not hesitated to resort 20
assassination themselves as a national
policy, and that the blood Of uncount-
able Gems of thousands has been shed
by the Spanish nation in manner
fully as atrocious as any individual kill
ing by the most fiendish anarchist.
Have the Spanish forgotten that
Spanish King, unable to otherwise
overcome William the Silent, offered
a reward for his assassination, and that
he was assassinated and the blood
money paid. And not only was this re-
ward paid, but the family of the as
sassin was enobled. And have these
same Spanish forgotten the untold hor-
rors which marked their control Of
Cuba, Hayti. Central America. Peru and
other parts of the new World after its
discovery by Columbus and his contem-
poraries? In Cuba. under Spanish
rule. at least a million natives per-
ished in fifty years after the Castilians
landed on the Island. In San Domin-
go. Hayti, and the contiguous islands the
record was the same or worse. In
Mexico millions were massacred, and
throughout Central and South America,
wherever the Spanish name was known,
there was one unwavering story OF
murder, rapine, torture and crime 1t
has been the same in the East Indies,
in Spanish Africa, and it is almost as
true to-day in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES
as it was four hundred years ago in
Mexico and Peru.
What right has Spain to complain,
although a score Of her Prime Minis
ters and Kings perish violently? She
has set an example which will be re-
membered for centuries to come. Her
history is marked by a career Of crime
unparalleled in modern times, and if,
in her lettering old age, some of these
chickens come home 10 roost, it will be
nothing more than justice.
And these reflections brings to the
surface another thought: For three
hundred years Spain made merry with
things American. The Western Hem
isphere and the fulness thereof were
hers, and she waxed fat while her SOL
diers sacked cities, outraged women,
murdered babes and put to death the
men of peaceful and previously happy
nations. 1t would be poetic justice if.
spurred on by the unhappy lot of Cuba,
the United States and other nations,
dwelling upon territory which once
was SPANS, and over which her con-
quering armies ran, should revenge the
crimes of the centuries past by wiping
Spain from the list of nations.

The Queens SUNDAYS.

Among the articles in the November
Culver" is one by M4ry Spencer War
ren telling how the Queen spends Sur
day. In former years it was custom
airy for her majesty to rise quite early
on the Sunday morning-as, in fact, she
did every day in the week OF late
years. however, she seldom leaves her
| room much before 10, at which hour
breakfast is taken with any members
of the royal family who may be there.
a cup of tea and little toast having
been previously conveyed to her ma
jesty's bedside by one of the "dressers"
After breakfast the Queen has turn
round the grounds in her donkey car
riage, the donkey being the one she
bought at Florence.
To preach before the Queen is, of
course, greatly coveted honor, and
etiquette formal and prescribed has to
| be observed. No pVsonal reference to
| her majesty is permissible, pure
Gospel discourse being de rigueur, de-
livered as though her majesty was not
present. Many have tried to evade
these rules. The Queen likes and en-
joys a plain, practical discourse, Sc
lected from the lessons or Gospel of the
day, to occupy about twenty minutes in
delivery. Questions of the day, and,
above ALL politics, must be entirely ex-
cluded. A celebrated divine broke
this rule one Sunday, and preached a
very strong political Sermon but it Was
his last opportunity-the royal pulpits
have neither of them been filled by him
again.
Wherever her majesty may be it IS
now her invariable custom to drive out
in pair-horse carriage on Sunday af-
ternoon. Dinner subsequently is some
what stately. Very often the Queen par
takes of it with only the members Of
her own family present, or any royal
guest who may be staying there. save
and except that the officiating clergy
man of the day and the minister in al
tendance generally receive an invita-
ton. As a rule, other guests are not
asked. After dinner the Queen retires
direct to her own special drawing room,
where. together with any of her family
who may be present. she will enjoy
some music of the old masters, prefera-
bly, Beethoven and Mendelssohn. The
Queen herself often takes part in duets
with one of her daughters, and the Duke
of Edinburgh, when present, contributes
with his violin.

Dervishes are making great prepara-
tions in view of the projected advance

Berber. The l<ha!ifa is relying on Os-

that OSman Digna has been compelled

The first news in ten months has also
been received from the European pris-
oners at Omdurman, the military camp

PROPOSED AT THE TABLE.
Took Desperate Chance and Won in
Walk

''The best dinner yarn that 1 ever
heard" observed a woman at a Boston
dining party recently, was the story
of the young man who was much in
love with a certain young lady, but
hadn't the courage to tell her so. One
evening they were dining out together.
and it so happened that hated rival
took the girl in to dinner. Something
IL the rivals manner made the baShful
lover suspect that the rival intended to
propose to the girl that very evening.
LAS the dinner progressed the lover
became absolutely sure of this, and,
spurred on by necessity, he resolved to
put his own fortune to test, and ut
once. Tearing a lear from his note
book he accordingly scribbled a line or
two, folded it, and gave it to the near
est servant with a hand that to the
lady in blue (There was fortunately
but one such at the table, or matters
might have been complicated) The
girl received the note, opened 1t, and
read: Will you be my wife?' followed
by his name He had forgotten to send
the pencil, however. But the girl was
as ready as the man was lacking, ana
she turned to the servant and SAID,
calmly: Just tell the gentleman yes.

MURDERER BUTLER.
The Record of Testimony Now Be-
fore the State Department.

WASHINGTON, March 6-The rec
ord of testimony taken in San Fran
cisco before United States Commis
SiOner HeacOck, in the case of Frank
Butler, who is wanted in Australia for
murder, has reached the State Depart
ment, and is now under examination.
So far the proceedings appear to have
been regular in all essentials, and a
warrant for the surrender of this most
remarkable criminal to the Australian
authorities probably will issue imme-
diately. Butler has given no less than
six names in the application for eXtradi-
ton, being variously known as Lee
Weller, Frank HarWood, Burgess,
Sampson, Glare and Butler. He stands
accused of fourteen murders, and is
suspected of as many more. His plan
of operation was to invite tenderfeet in
Australia, with money, to enter into
partnership to prospect for gold. When
the expedition had gotten a few miles
out of town, Butler would it is charged,
make away with his partner, take his
He escaped the law officers in Australia
by shipping as a sailor before the mast
on a sailing ship headed for San Fran
cisco, but the cable headed him off and
on arrival he found awaiting him detec-
tives who arrested him al once.
