sThe best of friends must part"
So quoth the reporter to his four compan-

leave for st. Louis, and the four others had
decided to disband. All arrangements had
been made for the disposal of the furniture,
and only one thing still worried the boys.
Who was to have the likeness Of Miss Kash?
All had share in its proprietorship, as each
played an important part in its abduction.

suggested.
The boys arose with one accord and voted
the PROPOSITION just the thing. The game was
TO be s'freeze-out," and no restriction as to
the betting limit, each player to commence
with forty chips. The reporter smiled COM

seated himself at the table.

reforms recently prom uigated by the

received at the Spanish legation. The
executive committee OF the reformist party
held a netting soon after the reforms
were announced and sent the following
cablegram to the Spanish premier, Senor
Canoyas del Castillo:

to the representatives of the reforInist

sired peace.
Two of the most prominent leaders Of
the autonOmist party, SenOr Jose A. del
Cueto and Rafael Montoro, are quoted in
the Diaro de la Marina, of Havana, as
making the following declarations:
In our opinion, the reforms are Of su-
preme importance. The institutions they
comprehend are very extensive, and the
alterations introduced are far-reaching
Rightly appreciated and understood, they
they constitute the loyal fulfiIlnent Of the
solemn promises made in the speech from
the throne and explained in the speech in
the Cortes made by Mr. Canovas July -.
1896. We believe the reforms contain all
the essential elements of self government.

extreme point which our constitution per
mits can be trusted to time, to public Opin-
ion and TO spontaneous desires.
As soon al the government considers
the proper moment has arrived TO
inaugurate the reforms il will he necessary
for all the political elements to come TO
a royal and frank understanding, as $ the
case with those who compose the Junta
National de Defensa, so that the new
regime may prove to be what is intended,
namely a common basis from which to
work. The effect OF the reform upon
public opinion cannot he otherwise than
favorable in proportion as they become
generally known"
senor Rabell. the leader OF the reform
ist party, in Cuba, SAYS that tine general
applause with which they have been
received proved the inherent excellence OF
these reforms"
Gen. AIolas is quoted as saying that ''the
reforms VIII produce To favorable result

We believe that The Times was the first
Eastern paper to predict that whatever
political exaltation might come to Hon
William Mckinley of Ohio about this
time, far greater happiness was likely
to come to Hon. Benjamin Harrison of
Indiana about ristime. The event makes
good the prediction. Mrs. Harrison Is

The little girl weighed eight pounds ard
a half, was found very early in the day
to have two pretty little eyes, out Of
which the Harrison blue shone sweetly,
and by the second day demonstrated that
she was afflicted with no pulmonary

a great felicity to be inaugurated Presi-
dent OF these United States; but to have

come father at siXty-four, what so proud

THE INTELLIGENT TYPEWRITER

There was once a News Factory in which
everything went by Clock work. 1t was the
uoest OF the Proprietor that should the
whole Force 90 off on Spree the Office
Boy could get out the Paper. An Integral
part of this concern was a Typewriter man.
The Man and his machine were on the
closest confidential Terms. They were
Welded More Effectually than the Man
ana his Wife, for he would always let the
Typewriter have the last word. Every day
at a certain Hour the Man would come In,
sit down at his Machine and begin to Play
Jokes OH it. The Jokes Sounded like Pop
ping Corn. And they went in.
The Wheels went round in the Mans
Brain and the Wheels went round in the
Typewriter. AT Home that man was Taci-
turn and Saturnine. He did not Even Smile
But he earned his Living by Cracking okes
on Typewriter
ByanGby the Typewriter began to won
der whether 1t or the Man was responsible
for the Jokes. To be sure, the Jokes were
about things which the Typewriter had
never seen, but for that matter neither had
the Man. One day the Typewriter fell Ill.
1t had to go to the Repair Shop That day
the Man wrote no Jokes. The Typewriter
said: Il am the Whole Thing
The day after this the Man went off on a
Spree. The Typewriter said: Here is My
Chance. l will show them that 1 am the
Whole Thing And it Sat up All Night to
Write Jokes.
In the morning several pages of Jokes lay
on the table. The Editor said: 'Whew,
Scruggs must have Done some Work before
he went And he put the Jokes in the
Paper.
For several Days the Man Continued
Spreeing and the Typewriter Continued to
Write Jokes. But the office Boy became
Suspicious, and one day Discovered the
Secret. Then he told the Proprietor.
The Proprietor said: Well and Good
The Typewriter does not Eat, it docs not
it does not Get Married. We will keep the
Typewriter and Discharge Scruggs'' And
it was Done. And None of the Readers
knew the Difference.
But after Time the Typewriter got
Puffed up with Vainglorious Conceit and
said: What is the Use of having Differ
ent Joke all the time. 1 will try some Old
ones on En-" And it did. And all was
Peaceful and Serena
But finally the Typewriter Found out
that Scruggs had had Pay for his Work
And it Struck. And the more the Proprie
tor, and the Editor, and the Reporters, and
the office Boy Hammered it the more it
Would not Work So they had to gel
Scruggs back again. And None of the
| Readers knew the Difference.

criticism on my official action as a justice
of the peace in the county OF Alexandria,
in sentencing Henry Brown, a NONRESIDENT
vagrant, to sixty days in jail, to be

criticisms could only have arisen from
ignorance on tiie part Of their authors, OF
the law Of Virginia in reference to vaGrants,

statutes which exclusively govern the

and fair play toward me will move You to
give this communication and the Statures

have given the criticisms, and put The
blame (2J on the legislature OF Virginia,
who enacted the law as late as 1887, and
not on my action as an expOunder OF t:
Section SS4, under the fifth class OF the
code of Virginia, defines vagrants as fol-
lows:
''All persons who shall come from any
place without this commonwealth to any
place within it, shall be found lettering
and residing therein, and shall follow no
labor, trade or occupation or business and
have no visible means of subsistence, and
can give no reasonable account of them
selves or their business in such place"
The punishment for this is found at the
end Of section SIS, and is as follows:
ANY vagrant Of the fifth class, de-
scribed in the preceding section, may be
arrested by the special county or corpora
ton police without warrant, and when so
arrested shall be taken before a justice
who shall dispose of him as hereinbefore
prescribed, or may at once direct him to
be committed To Jail for period not ex-
ceeding three months. TO be kept in close
