STAINS FORLORN HOPE.

The report of the capture of the city of Santiago de Cuba by the rebel forces, although they did. not proceed to hold the place, is a remarkable story That city is the principal sea- port on the eastern end of the island, and the Spaniards have maintained control of it by virtue of the assis tance of men-of-war stationed off that point But the Cubans succeeded in entering the city and footing the stores, thus adding materially to their stocks of provisions and other neces- sities of an army. Then they retired in order to prevent the bombardment of the place and the injury of those residents who sympathize with the fight for freedom.
 The mere fact of the city being en- tered by the Cuban army, with the greater strength of the patriots To- cated in the far west, shows the skill and adroitness with which the Gu ban generals operate their small bod ies of troops. Utter incapacity has marked every step taken by the, Span- ish soldiers, and their real warfare has been confined to attacks upon hos pitals, the shooting down of non-com, batants and the starving of village residents.
 There has never been a day wher the success of the Spanish government in the direction of defeating the Gu bans was even apparent, and within the last three months there has been a series of Cuban victories and repeat ed defeats for Spanish troops. Upor two or three occasions Weyler has shown himself an arrant coward. IT the meantime poor and decrepit old Spain insists that there is no war while her treasury is bankrupt and z sentiment hostile to. the continuance of the unholy murder of men, womer and children is growing at home i Spain is whipped, and it can only bs Q question of time when the Madrid
 government will have to admit tn, 1 fact.

 "A story

 Its about a man that sneaked LID behind train robbers and scared them off and then rescued a girl from some outlaws, and who got kidnapped on purpose on pirate ship, so's to sur prise the pirates while they slept and put them in irons and turn them over Ito the government.
 Its a dime novel; that's what it is.''

FOOLISH MOB IN NEW ORLEANS.

Mobs are unreasonable. Mobs are simply made up of men who, for the time being are insane Mobs are cowardly. Mobs are the enemies of the social system, no matter what may be their provocation The mob which disgraced the city of New Or leans a few days ago was a typical body of madmen. There was no ex- cuse for the action of those men and every mothers son of them is en- titled to punishment. But mobs, and that is the pity of it, generally es- cape the responsibility for their deeds of lawlessness.
 It had been decided by the authori- ties of New Orleans to use one of the public school buildings of that city as temporary hospital for the care and reception of yellow fever patients. Acting upon that arrangement, the school property was removed from the building which is isolated and in no sense menace as hospital to the neighborhood- a corps of nurses took possession. But the mob objected to the use of the building for the purpose of centralizing so far as 1t was possible the yellow fever cases, and the building was attacked and set on fire Fortunately, how ever, the fire department came to the rescue and the total destruction of the city's property was prevented.
 It is not uncommon to read of mobs Tn Russia destroying hospitals and attacking physicians during the prev aleHce of a plague, such assaults be- ing the result of ignorance upon the part of the low and irresponsible peo- pie, who become excited and irration- al at such times. During the bubonic plague in India the ignorant and su- perstitious natives attacked the phy- slclans, who were doing everything in their power to prevent the spread Of the plague. The natives conceived the idea that the removal of fever patients to hospitals was a conspir- acy to bring about their death. or something of that kind.
 In New Orleans, however, the peo- pie are supposed to have more intel- ! hgence, and more sense than the serfs of Russia or the miserable natives of lnd4a- Fearing that the use of the New Orleans schoo' ''ouse as a hos pltal Woulu endanger the residents l in the vicinity the mob Offerinp +hat as an excuse, set the building on fire By that act those New Orleans mad men placed themselves on a par with the Russian rabble and the Indian fa- natios. The New Orleans act was irrational and inexcusable.

 Particularly do they direct their at tention to youths who have a bench ant for things theatrical. The spies, for spies they are, do not look like the ideal thief catcher; in fact, they would rather be taken for men about town, who are out for a nights frolic and "hang the expense One of the most active of the corps of detectives is to be found most frequently in one of the big all-night resorts that is almost entirely given over to the fem mine contingent of stageland after the midnight hour. With their local acquaintances they sip their cham pagne until the early hours, and their escorts are, in the majority of cases, young fellows who hold salaried po- sitions of responsibility. Little MT. Sleuth, sitting quietly over in one cor ner. is apparently paying all his at tention to his ale and rabbit.

BONDED YOUNG MEN.
How the Security Companies Keep
 Tab on Those They Vouch for.

The theory of the big security com panies, who derive their profits from guaranteeing the honesty of young men who hold responsible positions in the mercantile world, that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, does not only apply to those who have a penchant for betting their own and frequently their employers S cash on the races, but is a proverb that works all the year round. While the frequent prosecution of default CTS is a powerful aid in assisting oth- CTS to resist temptation, yet the se- curity companies are Lot satisfied with resting there.
 They find it cheaper to pay detec- tives to be continually on the watch than to lock the door, as it were, af- ter the horse was gone. The sleuths are St. Louis men of long residence. who know by sight the majority of their employers clients, and the watch they keep over them is far stricter than the watched imagine.

PRINCETON'S GAIN.
Collection of Famous Death Masks
Presented to the University.

FROM harper weekly.
Mr.. Laurence Hutton has given his IA
nous collection Of death masks to Prince
ton University. There are over seventy
masks In the lot, nearly all of them of
very noted personages. 1t is the only ,ota-
BILE collection of the sort in existence and
Mr.. Hutton has been adding to i. for the
last thirty years. The story of its begin
ming is that one day, as long ago as the
civil war, while Mr.. Hutton was still
clerk in a New York store. he was stand
ing IN book shop when a boy came in
with a death mask in his hand, which he
sold to the proprietor of the shop for 1ifIy
cents. Mr.. Hutton identified the mask as
ole of Franklin, and assisted in the trans
action. Mr.. Hutton followed the boy out.
learned that he had found the mask in an
ash barrel, and that there were more. Next
day he located the barrel, and found in il six
masks, which turned out to be another
mask of Franklin, others Of Wordsworth.
Scott and Cromwell and casts from the
skulls Of Robert Burns and Robert Bruce
So the collection began. The history of its
growth is full of stories, many OF which
have already been told in Portraits in Plas-
ter (Harpers), the book which MIR. Hutton
wrote about his collection some four years
ago. Not much money was actually spent
for the masks themselves-about $780, Mr.
Hutton has said-but the expenditure of
time and money in iindiEg and Identifying
them has been profuse. 1t has been stated
that Mr.. Hutton was offered $4,000 for the
collection by a London museum, but that
story Is not true. No offer of money was
ever made for it. nor has price ever been
put on it. Mr.. Hutton once offered t to
the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
but could not get assurance that it wouIc
be Kept together there. At Princeton the
collection will be placed in the new library
now building, and as Mr.. Hutton intends 20
have summer home at Princeton, il will
still be under his eye. X does not appes r
whether the university Will feel an obilga-
ton to add to the collection as well as to
preserve II, but the natural propensity of
collections is to grow, especially after the
fame OF them has gone abroad and reached
the junkmen.
