WHERE BRIDES ARE ALWAYS IS.

Kansas City Journal.
A Parsons preacher conducted three
weddings the other day, and all of the
brides We're exactly of the same age. In
Parsons the girl who passes is without
getting married is laid on the shelf as a
back number, and very few parents will
allow their daughters to marry before
that age. So it nearly always happens
that a Parsons bride is just eighteen.

USED ONLY IN CUBA.

This is a typical Spanish weapon
with blade nearly three feet long.
1t has handle of bone. Although the
machete is an old instrument, men,
ton of it having been made in the
Old Testament, it has never been used
by any other nation than the Spanish.
The Spanish, however, inherit the love
for the machete, and from boyhood
they fight their duels and battles
with it.
There are three deadly blows to be
given with the machete One is across
the temples, from the top of the skull
downward in a quick slant; another
is a cut under the chin, upward; and
the third is a head-slash, which be-
heads man at blow. A blow thrust
from the machete is almost always
fatal, owing to the breadth of the
knife, which necessarily makes cut
half a foot wide. 1t is such a heavy
weapon that one blow lays a man
open, and such a thing as a stab with
machete is unknown. If it cuts at
all it cuts clean open.
This particular sword was brought
to New York by a cadet-James Ed

AS bearing on the probable fate OF
the cataract at Niagara, the following
is an estimate of what the falls, II atil-
lied. could earn, or, in other words, OF
what the failure to utilize them costs.
Assuming, it says, 1.-The total power
of Niagara to be 5000, 900 horse power,
and putting the value of this at the
low figure of $40 per horse power
year, the annual waste amounts to the
enormous total of $4,000 ,000-enougb

wARsHIPs woke UP THE MOORs.
Authorities Destirred Themselves
when san Francisco Arrived.

Washington Correspondence, sth, new
York Herald)
Rear-Admiral Selfridge, on the cruiser
San Francisco, now at Tangiers, cabled
to the Navy Department to-day that
when the Morocco authorities learned
that American warships had been or
dered to Tangiers. which was exclusively
announced In the Herald, they arrested
one of the ASSISTANTS of the agent OF an
American firm, who had been Knocked
down and robbed.
Two men were involved in the assault
and upon the repeated demand or Con-
sul-General Burke. enforced BY the pre-
sence of the San Francisco, the Moorish
authorities were making every effort 10
capture the second fugitive, and Admit
raj Selfridge added he believed they
would succeed 1t Is expected the state
Department will direct Consul-General
Burke TO sec that the men are adequately
punished for their offence.
An American firm in Tangiers employs
as it's agents a Moor, who travels about
Morocco, purchasing and disposing or
goods. Under the treaty between the
United States and Morocco, each Ameri-
can firm is permitted to employ two
natives as agents, and they are accorded
the same protection as an American
citizen.
The agent in question was assaulted in
front of the consulate in broad daylight.
He had Just returned from a business
trip and had 81 200 in his pocket, the pro-
ceeds OF Odds which had been delivered
in the interior. His ASSISTANTS walked
I'D to him and, Notwithstanding the pre-
SENECA Of soldiers and consulate guards,
demanded the money. he refused and
was Knocked down, badly beaten, and
the money taken from him.
The American firm reported the AFFAIR
TO Consul-General Burke, who demanded
of the Moorish Government the arrest
and punishment of the men, who were
fully described, and said to be prominent
in Tangiers. Not until it was known
that Mr.. Burke had asked for a war
ship did the authorities begin to pay
any attention to his demand.
was told to-day that the agent and
the firm have file1 claim for indemnity,
which has been brought to the attention
of the Moorish Government. The State
Department, however, is not disposed tC
press the claim until the men guilty Of
the assault have been punished. and
even then 1t is doubtful If the matter
will be pushed.
The prospective appearance Of the
Raleigh at Tangiers is expected TO show
the Moorish authorities that the United
States intends to look after it's citizens
and their interests, and the two ships
will probably remain in that vicinity
until both men have been brought to
justice.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Alexander
Wormser is a young man who one day
this week made $1,000 a minute for fifteen
minutes. He asked for 5000 shares OF
Sugar stock.
There was a rush to give him a block
of 800 or 1000. But Mr. Wormser wanted
5000 IN d bunch.
He got it.
~ want 5000 more. and 5000 more when

of Tobacco and 5000 Of Manhattan"
The Exchange was whooping 1t up now
and young Wormser was grabbing all
he could get.
OF course the demand for the stocks
sent them up. Wormser Is on the bull
side OF the market, but he's also believed
TO be on the inside Of Manhattan and
Sugar. and every time Wormser would
grab block up would 30 prices.
Every time lie opened his mouth II
meant 500 II he had to pick up $40 bills
from the floor of the Exchange he could
not have picked up $4,000 so quickly.
When he counted up his earnings at
the end Of a quarter of an hour. Mr..
Wormser found that he was $1,000 rich
than he had been before.
