CleveIand's Little Joke.

Cleveland of being humorist Upon no
other theory, however, is it possible to ex-
plain his assertion made in his New York
speech the other night, that his party
defends the humble toiler against oppres-
sive exactions in his home and invites him
to the utmost enjoyment of the fruits of
industry, economy and thrift" The ex-
perience of the humble toiler'' since Mr..
Cleveland came to Office four years ago
will hardly enable him to alfee with that
gentleman in this statement.

SHOT IN THE BACK.

Havana Police Murder Two Men Whom
Weyler Suspected.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Augusto Aria.
Cuban, and Fernando Pasada, Por-
tuguese, have been shot by policemen
in the streets of Havana. They bad
just arrived from Mexico.
No reason was given for the assassin
alton, but it is thought that General
Weyler, who lives in constant fear OF
being killed, suspected them of being
anarchists.
ARIA had letters of introduction from
the Brazilian consul in Mexico, to
prominent provision dealer here. After
landing Aria took breakfast and then
started to present his letter of introduc-
ton. AS he left his friends store, he
was arrested. Pasada was arrested
in the street. Both were carried to the
city Jail, and kept incommunicado un.
til nearly midnight.
Inspector of Police Cuevas, with four
policemen then took the prisoners from
their cells, marched them to Cerro and
deliberately shot each of them in the
back. The presence of dead cart in
the immediate vicinity showed that the
murder had been planned.

MANITOBA WHEAT CROP.

Estimated That Twenty-Five Million
Bushels Will BE Threshed.
TORONTO. Ont, Sept. 1-Advices re-
ceived here report that all of $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat in Manitoba will be
cut. There has been no frost sufficient
to damage the wheat in Manitoba this
season, and next week will probably see
the bulk of the wheat threshed. The
crop will be the largest in the history
of the Canadian Northwest. The yield
will run as high as 30 bushels to the
acre, while in Ontario it is as high as
40. The total wheat crop of Canada
this year will be fully 60, 900, 900 bushels

Did Not Lynch Them.

BELGRADE, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The re-
port sent from this place that two
lightning rod peddlers had been lynched
here, is untrue. Two men have been
operating in that line and have swindled
the farmers here outrageously by get
ting them to sign contracts which they
did not understand. When the victims
found out that they had been imposed
upon there was much excitement and
talk of lynching the swindlers, but
nothing came of it.

Fresh Figs For Northern Markets.

Fresh figs are not known or apprecl-
ated in northern markets, and conse'
uuently the demand is too limited 10
encourage shipments. 1t seems doubt
full if the distant shipment of fresh figs
will ever become profitable business.
The fruit is more perishable than any
other that is generally marketed. ltcan
be handled only by the most caretui
and experienced persons, and even then
il is not in condition to show its best
quality. Ripening in midsummer, when
the northern markets are crowded with
many well known fruits and not being
especially attractive to the eye, fresh
FIGS would at best gain favor slowly.
The fact that many people do not care
for them at the first would be another
obstacle in the way of their popularity.
Moreover, the fig is. a tedious crop TO
handle when in proper condition for the
market. 1t is necessary to pick the trees
over carefully every day during the sea-
son or much fruit will be overripe'
With large trees this involves much Ia
bor. The acrid juice of the immature
flo eats into the fingers OF the pickers
and packers, while rainy weather oc.
casions heavy loss by the cracking OF
the fruit, which renders it unit for

not far from the site of the present Christ

dressed to mixed assemblage. His con-
gregation hardly exceeded 400 persons, in
Guiding children and adults, re enforced,
however, by 100 or more of the neighbor-
ing Indians. Wesley discussed in most
eloquent manner the principles of Chris
tian charity as argued by st. Paul in the
thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians
He made powerful appeal, and many OF
his audience were i'm tears. While he was
not so impetuous in his delivery as In aft
er years, his abilities at that time bespoke
the great preacher and reformer.
"If he was more scholastic in style than
in after years. the fervor and force of his
appeals were none the less felt by his hear
ers. Especially was this strikiDgly true
when in the course of his discourse he ad-
verified to the death of his father, who for
40 years or more had been the incumbent
of the Epworth rectory. This venerable
man was asked not long before his death,
Are the consultations of God small with
your No, no, nor he exclaimed, with up
lifted hands. And then, continued Wesley,
calling all that were near him by their
names, the dying patriarch said: 'ThinI
of heaven, talk of heaven. All time is lost
when we are not thinking of heaven !!
This was spoken by Wesley in tremulous
voice, and his new parishioners at Savan
nah were for the instant almost swept of
their feet by tidal wave of religious on
thusiasm Tradition has it that severa
Indians who were present became SO great

"Great Scott! Are you crazys" cried
the agent. "What would you charge us

"See here, mister" earnestly remarked
the editor, II don't pay any attention to
space in this deal, but l do know just
what an advertisement in this paper will
cost you. You may have column, or q

you like. There's mortgage for $3.50 on

OVERCOME BY SMOKE.
The Danger of Fighting subceiiar Fires
In New York.

In the ssri :. of articles on the New York
fire department. in St. Nicholas, MIR
Charles Il. Hill contributed one on "The
Risks of Fireman's Life" Mr.. Hill
says: At subcellar fire that occurred one
night few years ago, on lower Broad
way, | saw over "a dozen men laid out on
the sidewalk, overcome by the smoke.
grewsome sight it was, too, with the dim
figures of the ambulance surgeons, Ian
terms in hand, working over them, and
the thick smoke for a background.
These were brave fellows who had
dashed in with the lines of hose, only TO
be dragged out afterward by their COM
rades, nearly suffocated by the thick,
sitting smoke that poured in volumes
from every opening in the basement.
Over $50 feet of dead lights, " or grating,
O ger the sidewalk had to be broken in that
night before the cellars were relieved suffi-
GENTLY of the smoke with which they
were charged to allow the men to go in
and extinguish the fire. This required
the combined work of the crews of five
hook and ladder companies, who broke
in the ironwork with the butt ends OF their
axes-the hardest kind of work. But the
newspapers the following morning merely
| gave this fire a 10 or IL line notice. men
| tioning the location and the estimated
loss, and adding that sit was severe fire
to subdue" No word of the punishment
and suffering the men were forced to face
before this fire was under control; nc
mention of the dash after dash into the
cellar with the heavy line of hose, only to
be driven back to the street by the smoke
or to be dragged out afterward nearly un'
conscious; nor of the thud after thud with
the heavy axes on the thick iron grating
that required 90 or 30 blows before any
impression could be made on it. This was
muscle straining, lung taxing work tina
the average man has to face only once il
a lifetime. but the firemen in large city
have it always before them, and each tai
on the telegraph may mean the signal t.
summon them to task that requires tn

Tillman's Signature.

All notes issued by the government bear
the Endorsement of the register OF the
treasury, and everybody is familiar with
the finely written, somewhat effemlnate
signature of Mr.. Tillman. Like that OF
Grover Cleveland, who conferred public
office on the Tennessean, Mr.. Tillman' s
handwriting suggests man entirely dlf-
ferent in personal appearance from his real
self. He is tall, broad shOuldered and in
clined to rotundity. His linen is always
immaculate. A waistcoat cut u shape
and extremely low allows broad expanse
of shirt bosom, embellished by q magnih-
cent diamond stud, to be seen. His dia-
mond his shirt front and his stalwart
build have made Mr.. Tillman noticeable
figure in Washington.
Just how Mr.. Tillman began the prac
tice of sending n dollar bill or bill OF any
other denomination to person whom nc
wished to see is not definitely known, but
the friends of the register tell this story
about it: Mr.. Tillman went visiting one
evening. When he opened his card case IN
response to the presentation OF silver
plate by servant, he found it empty.
81 haven't "a card with me-" he ex
planned and was about to send up his
name by word of mouth when happy
thought came. "This will serve as well,
he said, fishing out dollar note and plac
ing it on the salver. "That's not fol
YOU, mind" added the Tennessean, de
tecting look of cupidity in the servant
| face "Giye it to Mr.. -. He'll under
| stand'
But Mr.. - did not understand. He
| sent back the money, with request fol
an explanation -
"Well, WE'LL" said Mr.. Tillman. How
