The literature of auctioneering is full
OF cleverness and verbal oddities, but
Carlow, England, turns up with a line
of humor which is all the more effective
because it is so unconscious. An adj
vertisement recently printed there
stated that "the old gaol' would be Of
Tered in one lot. 1t goes on to particu-
larize with enthusiasm and dilate with
zeal concerning a female prison of 80
cells" debtors prison." Convict
prison, containing 81 cells" "house of
correction" "treadmilI' ard three
throw pump" There is also "a very
fine cut granite gate entrance" and "ail
cells are fitted with double wrought
iron doors, bolts and locks, and floored
with granite or flags" In fact, "all
modern improvements" would seem to
be the only additional necessity in the
way of enticing description.

Treatment of Electric Shock.

Every effort should be made to liber-
ate him at once. How is this to be
done? First, keep cool; don't lose your
head. Do not place youself in circuit
in trying to help others out. When the
victim is lineman and up among the
wires or on a pole, nothing much can
be done until the current is shut off at
the power house. Should the victim be
lying on the ground, grasping the wire
in one or both hands, take dry stick
and push the person from the wire, or
wrap a large, dry silk handkerchief
around your hand and pull him away
from the wire. AS an extra precaution,
if your own coat is perfectly dry, you
might place it upon the earth to stand
on. Under no consideration catch hold
of or tamper with the wire in any way
unless you are positively certain that
you are perfectly insulated by rubber
boots or gloves or both. Even then it
is better to pull the victim from the
wire Remember always that the cur
rent follows the course of least resist
ance, and is not going to go out of its
path for the sake of running into you;
nor will it vary its course if you get in
its way, unless your body puts in more
resistance than that of another circuit.
Therefore. never under any circum-
stances, when you are removing a per-
son from live wire, allow his body TO
leave the earth. Or, in other words,
don't lift.him. Keep him to the earth,
for when his body leaves the earth your
body becomes the conductor, and you
simply add another victim to the list.
An iron rod or heavy copper wire run
deeply in the ground, in such way
that when the free end is liberated it
will spring to the live wire above the
victim, will take the current from him
so that he can be pulled away Even
then be cautious. When the victim has
been released from the wire proceed at
once to artificial respiration. Be sure
that the clothing is well loosened, espe-
cially about the neck and waist.-Elec-
trio Age.

Declares That Spain Must Keep Her
Hands of American Citizens-Opposed
to Annexation.
New YORK, April 17.-Alfred Henry
Lewis, in Washington dispatch to the
Journal, writes:
Spain must keep her hands off
American citizens" said Secretary
Sherman. II would employ every
gun, man, ship and dollar in the
reach of this government in defense
of the meanest of our citizens.
That is my Cuban policy and that
is all of it. l do not believe
in interfering between Spain and
Cuba; they must settle their own af.
fairs, solve their own differences. l
do not believe in becoming Cuba's pro-
tector. Should she become free by
her own efforts, l should not favor an
nexation. We don't want her. We have
undeveloped country of our own,
enough for centuries. To go in for
any policy of annexation that would
annex Cuba or even arrange a protec-
torate in the nature of guardianship,
should she hereafter become free,
would mean vast expense and great
tax to us We would have to keep up
four times the navy and army we do

LEVEE BREAKS.
A Big Crevasse About Five
Miles South Of Delta.
1t Protected Plantations, and Much
Land Will Be Flooded.
Desperate Efforts Made to Hold the
Levee. But There is no Chance of
Closing the Crevasse-The En-
fects are Very Disastrous.

VIcKsBURo, Miss, April l7.-At mid
night dispatch was received from the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific rail-
way Office at Delta, reporting big
crevasse about five miles south of Del
ia in the Biggs levee, which occurred
at IL o'clock. This is the levee on
which Bolivar Thompson has been
working for several days with
force of five hundred men, free
laborers and convicts. 1t is
high levee, said TO be fully IS feet
high, but is built largely of sand and
has thin cross section with INSULT
cient slope 1t protected fine planta-
tion country, and its back water will
food much plantation land. A desper-
ate effort has been made to hold the
levee, but there is no chance of clos
ing the crevasse, or preventing its de-
velopment of disastrous break.
There is a strip of swamp about
two miles wide Immediately behind the
Bigg's levee, but beyond that the back
water will run over cotton lands, and
Secretary Lane, of the Fifth district
levee board. is of the opinion the back
water will food Tensas and Concordla
parishes. 1t is thought the flood will
back up on the Vicksburg, Shreveport
& Pacific road as far as Talullah or
farther. The officials of that road are
hurrying warnings to all stations
along its line.
1t appears impossible to find any one
here at this hour who knows anything
of the topography of the country
which may be overhowed by this
crevasse, but the general impression is
that its effects will be extremely dis
astrous.
VIcKsBURG, Miss, April 17.-At 10
o'clock Saturday morning the river
shows fall of three-tenths. The
United States cutter Florence arrived
at II a. m. from Davis Island and re-
ports the second break in the Louisiana
line Immediately in front of Bedford's
landing. There may possibly be a
break at Briggs, as the Florence came
up the chute and was some distance
from the main line of levee. At 1880
a. m. the town of Delta is more than
half under water and its inundation
will be entire before dark.
VICKsBURG, Miss, April 1Z-The
United States steamer Meigs arrived
at l p. m. from Biggs' crevasse, Mr..
Maxwell and Assistant Engineer H. B.
Thompson on board They report the
break 500 feet wide at a. m.; 1900
feet wide at 1880 a. m.
The state convicts, $50 in numb ber,
were all safely put on the steamer
Natchez Saturday morning for Baton
Rouge. The United States steamer
Etheridge, with Assistant Engineer
Hider on board, arrived at the break
at noon and will remain there in
hopes of saving people in danger OF
losing their lives
