DONAID'S PERPLEXITY

A real new woman's" come to US;
But what | can't make out
Is what the folks, and papers, too,
Make such a fuss about!
She's not more loud than other folks,
About her age and size.
And doesn't seem TO want to vote,
Nor try to say things wise.
She doesn't even ride a wheel,
Nor talk about her sphere;
Her clothes are just like other girls,
Not mannish, short nor queer.
She wears no specs upon her nose,
Nor seems TO like latchkeyS;
But stays at home like other folks,
Just made to hug and squeeze.
My ma and pa. they love her, too,
Although they hate what's bold;
Yet she's a brand new woman" sure
Cause she's but six days old!
Youths Companion.

They have been holding a city cleo
ton out in Omaha. Under the new
charter the city election must be held
in the spring, and the officers are
chosen for three years of service. The
Democrats, Populists and radical Sill

the fight with this motto emblazoned
on their banners: Remember Bryan
and 1900" Result: The Republicans
won, not by so large a figure as in No

figure or two, but they won handsome
notable victory and may be set down

The New York Sun" tells how yellow
Journalism manufactures sensational
news when it is hard pressed for some
thing startling:
A local agent of New York
went the other day to a plumber and
told him that a story was to be written
for the Sunday papers about the finding
of a forty diamond
bracelet 1t was to be found in a GER
tain house in the slumS, in a certain
kind of a box that the plumber was to
find it and promptly return 1T to the
owner Then the news-agent asked the
plumber whether he would vOuch for
the truth of the story. The plumber was
amused and. in consideration of the
free advertising he would receive, agreed
to stand up to the story. On Sunday the
story came out in two of the metropoli-
tan papers. One had a picture of the
necklace extending across page, with
big letters and a most circumstantial
account of the whole affair. The other
had a column or two about it and many
exciting details Some of these, how
ever, hurt the feelings of the plumber,
and he ''peached."
The Sun" vouches for the truth of
this tale. 1t is altogether likely that it
is true, but it is not a whit more raw
than the methods yellow journals en-
ploy in comforting genuine news and
making a mountain of falsehood out of a
mole hill of fact.

mole hill of fact.

Honest confession is good even for
the German soul. Here we have the
"Vorwaerts" of Berlin saying in the
midst of a tariff discussion:
We pretended American products
were frauds denouncing American
pork and oxen as diseased, and chased
American insurance companies out OF
the country. Since 1890, while reduc-
ing our tariff, we have increased the
duties on American products, such as
cotton seed oil and fats. German
workmen do not want tariff war with
America
But unhappily for the position OF
''VorWaerts," what the German work
man wants is not always what the
German Government gives him. 1t is
simply impossible for the protective
policy to be carried out as the Repub-
lican party is pledged to do, and not
open a tariff war with German and all
other European workmen who COM
pete disastrously with American handi-
craft and production.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine" for
May is we'll filed with pictures of the
dead on the fields of the late War of
the Rebellion. The young men of this
day who talk so glibly Of soldering, of
war. and what glorious thing it would
be to have Uncle Sam engage in a
scrap" and whip somebody, ought to
look over these gruesome pictures and
learn what war means. They should
consider these dead bodies in the
trenches; the distorted remains of
Union and Confederate dead, where
carrion crows are feeding. They should
look upon this field of grinning skulls,
and that of scattered human bones
these hands and feet protruding
from the earth in CHASTITY array, and
these headless trunks; view these sew
cred and mutilated limbs, these scat
tered brains; these half burned and
bloated bodies; the evidences of the un-
speakable agony brave men endured
ere they died in the horrors of I'M
quenchable thirst that assails the
wounded on the field of battle-let them
look upon this awful chapter of horrors
and recall the words of Grant, War

United States Minister to Madrid


The United States minister admits
having received Spain's reply to the
note of the United States. but he de-
clines to discuss the matter beyond
saying that the text Of the Spanish an
swer will be immediatel transmitted
to Washington.
From other sources it was learned
that the officials of the United States
legation were engaged in translating
SPANS answer, and it was reported
that the United States minister would
cable to Washington, at ouce, the full
text of the Spanish note.
Although the government of Spain
will not give out the text of its reply
to the United States on the subject of
Cuba, it was officially announced that
the reply of the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs, Senior Cullon, is on the
following lines:
1t expresses regret at the fact that
the insurrection in Cuba receives sup
port from frequent American filIbuster-
ing expeditions and that otherwise
the rebellion in Cuba would possibly
not exist. 1t is hoped by the
Spanish government that by granting
autonomy to Cuba and the withdrawal
of American support of the insurgent IS,
the insurrection Will shortly be ended.
1t is further officially announced that
the Spanish note is marked throughout
by an energetic tone.
According to the reports in official
circles here, the United States minis
ter will confine himself to acknowledge
ing the receipt of the Spanish reply
and. after forwarding it to the United
States government, will request in
structiOns from Washington before
proceeding any further in the matter.
1t IS not expected that the text of
the answer of Spain Will be published
here before the senate has had the op-
portunity of celebrating upon 1t, and,
therefore, it Is understood that the
text of the document may not be pub
lished in the United States until after
the reassembhng of congress.
But before congress reassem bles 1.-THE
first Monday in December, otherwise
December 81, it is expected by the Span
ish officials here that the conditions of
affairs in Cuba, so far as the insurrec-
ton in that island is concerned. will
have considerably improved, and that
therefore the whole question will have
assumed a brighter aspect
Finally, it is announced from official
sources that the Spanish government
has determined to pursue a new policy
toward Cuba, and to take more energetic
military action against the INSURGENTS.

A TERRIBLE CHARGE.
Bennett Patterson Accused OF shooting
His Mother Near Florfsssnt. No.

Bennett Patterson Accused of shooting
His Mother Near FIorisssnt. No.
ST.. Louis. Oct 27.-On Sunday even
ing Mrs. Martha j. Patterson. so years
of age. was shot in her own house, re-
ceiving two loads from a double-bar-
relied shotgun in the body.
Mrs Patterson lives on a farm in St
Ferdinand township, four miles north
west of Florissant on the Halls Ferry
road. and with her live two Of her sons,
Bennett aged ~, and John, age 80. the
latter married and having charge of the
farm.
According TO accounts Bennett was
under the influence of liquor Sunday
evening, and quarrelsOme, and threat
ened TO clean out the whole id outfit.
Bennett is said to have gone to his
room after time, got his shotgun and
left the house. He hitched up his horse
and buggy and left the place. Twenty
minutes later the wheels of a buggy
we're heard in the yard again. A bug
by was driven to the fence, and Mr.
and Mrs. John Patterson, who had
gone upstairs. concluded that Bennett
had got over his fit OF anger, and had
brought the buggy back for them
to go to church in. Mrs. Cecilia
Patterson, Johns wife, had just
finished a remark TO that effect. when
they were startled by hearing two
shots fred in the room below, and the
voice of their mother, crying out in
piteous shrieks, as they ran down the
steps to her relief:
My God! Have | raised a child to
kill me? OH He has killed me- I'm
shot, right here in the sider'
With these words she sank to the
floor and swooned away. No one was
in the room but Mrs. Patterson when
her son John and his wife reached her
side. The horse and buggy had disap-
peared, and the would oe murderer had
escaped in the darkness.
While the evidence, and the moth
er's exclamation point strongly to Ben
nett as the would-be murderer, the lat
ter denies any knowledge of the shoot
ing, and he has not yet been arrested.
The people of the neighborhood
think the shooting is the result of an
old family quarrel about the respective
rights OF the brothers to possession of
the farm.
The property consists of about $50
acres, and Mrs. Patterson is said to be
worth nearly $50, 900, in addition to her
real estate holdings. Bennett Patter-
son formerly managed the farm, but
about year ago his mother turned the
property over to his Younger brother
John Patterson.
Mrs Patterson is very badly wound
ed, and her recovery is doubtful.

arrested
