bout six feet away, from her, across
the aisle, was an empty aeat, which at
the next station was filled by "a man
with a sample case. He was SO years Of
age or thereabout and was quite as dan
per looking as if he were so and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps shade too much display in her
makeup, but still one: could hardly saw
that, for all is not gold. that glitters in
such cases-or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him, he began to look
about to familiarize himself with his
environments, and in the course of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. He gave a slight start, as
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
The lady wasn't looking, of course
But she wasn't asleep. ..s:

After a, minute or two or three or
four OF hesitating investigation the tray

politely and deferentially approached

turned from the window to meet him
with a half startled, fawnlike move

occasions, ''aGen't you Miss Morton Of

raw edge on it. :,
"You don't look like a man," she re-
piled with all insolent air, "who would
try to work as old racket as that on
me- Do look SO green as that:'' .~.
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder. ..
"Oh, that's all right" she laughed,
moving over to make room beside her,

sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as
soon have pleasant little talk with you

tion where we take dinner.''

ing man, backing away. II am sure if
you are not Miss Merton I have no de-
sire whatever to talk with you.''
Then he went back to his place, and
the flip young woman was rather in
olined to the opinion that there was at
least one man on the road who could be
mistaken honestly. ...

THE CRANE DANCE,
Where the Soubrettes Got Their idea For
Speciality.

Where the Soubrettes Got Their idea Tor
Speciality.
There is a dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
vile houses. At Lincoln park there is
real crane which does crane dance,
and those who have seen it's saltatorial
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged ami
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being al exact copy of
the performance Of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. It's steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
q kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like a delighted
boy at the circus. This Lincoln park
bird at the outset Of his dance is the
personidcation Of dignity. When in the
days Of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit of
his mate, be did SO only in the spring.
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
two to give him encouragement
The crane begins its dance by showing
one long leg, with it's claw attachment,
straight out in front Of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it. back slowly
until it is within an inch or two of the
ground. Then there is lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement of the feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance OF a clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautch
girl, and in moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, to be succeeded as a
finale by q sort of wild call hands
round,' in which every feather of the
bird is alive, as it enters into the joy Of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the ''halt'' of the
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
slant. Then the crane marches away to
a corner with a still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-
barrassment. -Chicago Times Herald.

IN the wear 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
waving business, and made the name "Dr. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years OF toiling and waiting,
M Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake to deSpOil him Of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
natter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
,Iillst as good Dr.. Wards, frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bus-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
world-wide right to use his as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office

English Administration of Jamaica.

The English administration of ia
maica is thing to be thankful for.
There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po-
lice, lawn tennis and cricket, plenty Of
manly, companionable English army
and navy officers and a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part Of
the wealth that is latent . in soil and
atmosphere, OF that most Of the wealth
that is beginning TO make its APP
pearance. is due. to. anything so much
as to the American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening up railways
and cultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unWel-
come one, is that the islands q, 900.

100000 persons, 5000 Of whom are.

DOES NOT BELIEVE 1T.

Secretary Sherman Says Sanguily
Pledged Not to Return to Cuba.
1t has come to the knowledge of the State
Department that Geu. Julio Sanguily Is
now in Florida, at Jacksonville, and that
his followers have given out the impression
that the general is about to head an expe-
dition to Cuba. Secretary Sherman was
asked what the United States government
would do in case this impression were well
founded. He said that in the first place he
did not believe that Sanguily would do any
such thing His reason for this belief was
the fact that he Secretary Sherman) held
in his possession written pledge made
by Sanguily III return for the exercise of
the good offices of this government in Sc
curing his release from Imprisonment not
to have any connection in any manner
with the Cuban troubles. The Spanish
government also held a similar pledge, and
in addition Sanguly had promised not to
return to Cuba without it's consent. Now
said Secretary Sherman, If Sanguily vio-
lates the obligations he has thus assumed
the Department of State will not interfere
further for his protection, no matter what
may befall him. and, in fact will have
bothfng further to do with him.
The Secretary does not believe that Cen
Rivera, Maceo's successor in command
who was wounded and captured by the
Spanish forces, and now lies in Jail at San
Crtstobal, Will be executed. 1t Is undount-
edly true, however, that the threat Of the
departure OF another expedition from Flori-
da under SdnSuily promises to prejudice
the ef1orts that are making. with show of
success. to secure Rivera's pardon.

THE VOODOO DOCTORS.
Simon Ford Fined $50 in the Police
Court Today.


The first blow at the so-called "voodoo"
doctors was struck by the health depart
ment this afternoon in the Police Court
when Simon Ford of 1871 11th street, an
old oolored man, was convicted of prac-
ticing medicine in the District of Columbia
without first securing a license from the
board OF medical supervisors authorizing
him so to do.
Judge Miller fined Ford $50, with ten
days in Jail in default. The law provides
a fine Of not less than $50 or more than
$780, Imprisonment Of not less than ten
days or more than ninety days, or both
fine and Imprisonment.
John N. Johnson of 1717 11th street was
arraigned on the same charge. He pleaded
not guilty. and demanded a jury trial
In the case of Ford, Detectives Boyd and
Helan testified that ne has sign an
nouncing that ne is a doctor on the out
side of his house. They called at bis house
and saw him treating old man with an
herb poultice. The defendant stated to
them that he dealt solely in herbs.
In his defense Ford said that If people
would treat them with a combination OF
onions. potatoes, hcarhound and mulley
He did not write prescriptions and did not
practice medicine. He was called doctor
because he was formerly employed as
steward on a steamboat and not because he
administered herbs.
In disposing of the case Judge Miller
stated that. as the conviciion was M .he
first under the law. he would impose the
smallest fine. Neither Ford or any one
else, said the court has a right to humbug

ing among that class can accomplish a

Spain Responsible for Tobacco.

The closing chapter Of the correspon-
dence which has passed between the
United States and Spain respecting the
prohibition of tobacco exports from Cuba,
as shown in the foreign relations just pub
lished, will be very comforting to the to-
bacco importers. Secretary Olney had
been complaining without much avail Of
the detention in Cuba Of tobacco that had
been contracted for or was even in the
possession of would-b exporters before the
decree was issued suspending imports.
Finally Secretary Olney sent this ultima
tum, through Minister Taylor at Madrid:
There being now no reason to believe
that the promised relief will be granted,
you are instructed to inform the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs that his gov
errment will be held responsible for the
indemnification of citizens of the United
States in every instance, whether hereto
fore specifically presented or not. in which
tobacco owned by such citizens or con-
tracted for by them prior to the promul-
cation of the order Of May 16. 1886, pro-
hibiting expectation of tobacco, has been
detained under that ORDER

Narrow Escape of Captain A. H.
Reed.

Capt A. H. Reed, a one-armed veteran
Of the war. and late superintendent of the
House folding room at the Capitol, is con-
fined to his house, No. 23S North capitol
street, from an accident occurring on Penn
sylvanfa avenue opposite the Regent Ho-
tel. where he was going to meet Represen-
tative McCleary. AS Capt. Reed was about
to cross the electric car track, looking to-
ward an approaching train coming from
the CapitoS bicyclist coming at break
neck speed from the opposite direction
smashed into him. knocking him down on
the track but few feet ahead of the ap-
preaching train. but. although partially
stunned, he succeeded in rolling from the
track just in time to escape much worse
accident.
The veteran was taken to the nearest
drug store and soon after to his home
where DR.. Johnson was summoned to at
tend him. His shoulder was thought at
first to be dislocated, but found to be only
badly bruised his right temple cut, from
which the blood at first flowed freely, and
other bruises not serious. 1t was but a
hairbreadth escape from another fatal ac-
cident which are SO often occurring from

Petition for Investigation Re-
ceivcd by the Sennte Cnmmfftea

feut1On LOT an investigation Re-
ceived by the Senate Committee.
The petition of the silver republican mem
bers Of the Idaho legislature asking an in
vestigation of charges that the election of
Heitfeld as senator from Idaho was pro-
cured by the use of money has been re-
ceived by the Senate committee on priv
ileges and election.
The petition, or statement of allega-
tions, sets forth briefly the history of the
contest over the senatorship and the
charges that money furnished by the re-
publican national committee was used to
secure the election Of a populist and that
the result was brought about by bribery.
A list Of witnesses suggested to be ex-
amined before the Senate committee is
given, with a statement of what is ex-
pected to be shown by them. The name of
Mr.. Hanna is used in the document, in an
allegation that Texas Angel has in his
possession a letter from a prominent citi-
zen of Cleveland which contains the re-
suit of an extended interview between
Cleveland, Ohio, in relation to the election
Of the United States senator from Idaho.
Particular reference Is made to the as
sstance that would he rendered by Hanna
to secure the defeat of Senator Duoo;s and
the election Of a popuii5t senator who
would vote in favor Of the tariff policy of
the incoming republican administ ration
1t is made evident by the document that
the intention of its authors Is to lavolye
Mr.. Hanna in scandal connected with Mr
Heitfeld's election, and 1t is doubtful wheth.
er the republicans In the Senate will permit
the investigation to be opened up.
