The bosom friend of young girl is
usually the one who most resents her
engagement. This chiefly because it de-
prives her of her companionship to
great degree-often, indeed, entirely
because a newly engaged girl seems to
have no thought for any one but the
hero of her heart
OF course, the friend is often little
to blame, because she absents herself
from the society of her companion as
much as possible. thereby creating a
misunderstanding, and the relation OF
friend may drop to mere acquaintance
The same is often the case with the
mans friends, and it is a well known
fact that many friends of recently en-
gagged man shun him entirely. Why this
should be SO is past all comprehension.

A Queer Egg story.

An ostrich egg with a romantic his
tory is the curiosity owned by Miss
Marie Lopez of 415 South Fortieth
street. The egg was presented to Miss
Lopez by Joseph Pulsiver, to whom it
was sent by his brother. who is super
intendent of an ostrich farm ia South
Africa. Accompanying the egg was the
following letter from the sender: I
send the ostrich egg and know your
longing for peculiar curiosities will re-
ceive boom when you learn its his
tory We had man on the farm named
Carr, who was noted for his skill IN
breeding and raising ostriches. He bad
raised the mother of the egg send, and
she had been one Of his greatest pets. This
was thought strange, as she was known
to be savage bird and would allow
no one but Carr to go near her. Breed
ing time came, and the ostrich was soon
watching over a setting of eggs. Our
farm matches artiicially, the eggs being
removed from the mother and placed in
an incubator. Carr was the one selected
to secure the eggs, on account of his
great command over the bird. Heenter-
ed the pen and began picking up the
eggs In an instant the treacherous pet
became furious and started to strike
him with her powerful feet. We had TO
shoot the mother before we could get
her away and then found we were too
late, Carr's skull having been battered
in. In the struggle all the eggs were
broken. with the one exception, which

LIBERAL MANIFESTO.
THE SAGASTA PARTY IN SPAIN OUT
LINE A CUBAN POLICY.


The Present Administrations Conduct os
the War In Cuba strongly Denounced.
Weyler's Recall Demanded-A Madrid
Paper Bitterly Attacks woodford.
Madrid, June 22.-The Spanish Lib
erals have adopted an attitude which
will probably create a profound sensa-
tion both here and in the United States,
but which is little calculated to improve
the situation.
At meeting Of ex-ministers of the
Liberal party Senior Sagasta made an
energetic speech denouncing the home
and foreign policies of the premier and
his conduct during the recent crisis,
which, Sagasta insisted had led the
people to criticise the decision Of the
crown.
The meeting resolved to issue a mani
festo declaring that the Liberals would
persist in abstaining from all relations
with the government so long as the
Duke of Tetuan is retained in the cabi-
net. The manifesto will also assert that
the Liberals were the authors of the
first colonial reform scheme in 1894 but
curtailed it in 1885 in order to obtain
the support of the Conservatives.
The manifesto will characterize the
proposed reforms of Canovas as made
quate and suggest the replacement of
Captain General Weyler by governor
whowil continue the war in accordance
with civilized practices, the stopping of
the reign of terror and devastation of
property in Cuba and the appointment
Of a civilian as royal commissioner,
with full powers, distinct from the
military authorities, to execute reforms
of the widest autonomy in political, adj
ministrative, economical, tariff and leg
islative matters compatible with the
preservation Of the imperial sover-
eighty.
The manifesto will promise to go
very far in the direction of sacrifice
of Spanish commercial interests and OF
sharing the burden of colonial war
debts in order to secure peace.
The newspapers here are busy looking
up the speech which, it is alleged, Cen
eral Woodford made years ago favoring
the Cuban rebels and drawing infer
ences therefrom.
They also echo the statement pub
Iished in an English paper that the Ha-
waiian islands would be at the mercy
of the Spanish fleet in the event of an
international rupture.
The Heraldo publishes an extraordi-
narily violent editorial against General
Woodford, saying that if he is another
filibuster he cannot come to Spain or be
received at court.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
1t Causes an Acrimonious Debate In th'


1t Causes an Acrimonious Debate In the
Senate.
Washington, June 23.-An exciting de-
bate marked the consideration of the
wool schedule in the senate. 1t devel-
oped the first open disagreement on the
Republican side of the chamber and led
to a warm personal exchange between
Senators Carter of Montana and For
aker of Ohio on one hand and Mr.. Alli-
son OF Iowa, in charge of the bill, on
the other Mr.. Foraker asserted that
an agreement concerning rates on GER
tain woods was being violated and that
under such circumstances every sena-
tor would be free to act for himself.
Mr.. Allison. with great vehemence,
declared that he could not be driven by
threats. Mr.. Carter, who had aroused
the storm, endeavored to have the par
agraphs relating to carpet woods go
over, with a view to securing some
united action, but Mr.. Vest, in an
ironical speech objected to delaying the
era of prosperity and postponing the
public business while Republican SEN
ators held caucus.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado also spoke
against delay and took occasion to say
he would not vote for the bill unless
Objectionable features were eliminated.
Aside from this stormy interruption
fair progress was made on the wool
schedule. The duty on first class wool
was agreed to at 10 cents per pound
and on second class wool IL cents. which
is between the house and senate rates
in each case. Mr.. Allison's amendment
prescribing triple duties on certain
classes of third class woods was agreed
to by vote of % to rs.
Most of the other amendments relat-
ed to the classification of woods. On
one of the amendments Mr.. Jones of
Arkansas spoke against the entire
schedule as severely oppressive on the
consumers of wooden goods.
