WENT TO THE INAUGURATION
"There Are Others" Only They
Haven't Told About 1t.


Eyes, I was at the inauguration -
Wilkes admitted glumly. Say, feI-

ton, 'such things always come out in
time and I'll make clean breast of it
if you'll cross your hearts and never

"You know I'm a regular bog trotter.
There are few men who know how to
travel better than I do. But this time
held the trip too cheaply. I didn't en-
gage quarters. At Pittsburgh some
one stole my grip and I landed into
Washington light. I was a day or two
ahead of time, but I canvassed the Dis
trict of Columbia as far as I could and
failed to get lodging. Either looked off
color or there were no accommodations.
That night I slept in a barber chair, I'M
der which I placed my shoes, because
my feet were sore from travel. When |
awakened at ten the next morning my
stockings had half an inch of hair on
them. My ten dollar shoes were gone
and in their stead was a pair of the kind
that you paste together, but the same
size. The barber charged me at the rate
of cent n minute, averaging up on
shaves and hair cuts at Inauguration
figures for the time that I had occupied
the chair.

that the upper and lower works of my

Signals by the HeIiOstat Fairly Over
vheIm Geronimo.
''At one interview with Geronimo -
says Gen. Miles, Il tried to explain to
him the uselessness of contending
against the white race. 1 told him that
we had the use of steam and the tele-
graph and the heliostat, both superior
to any of their methods of communica-
ton. [ then had the heliostat set up
and said to Geronimo:
1--WE can watch your movements and
send messages over the tops of these
mountains. in small part of one day,
over a distance which it would take a
man on a swift pony 20 days to travel
He was both curious and incredu-
lous.
"'How is that?' he asked.
81 asked the operator to open CON-
1nunication with the nearest station, Is
miles away. He turned his instrument
upon that point and flashed signal of
attention. AS quick as thought the sun
light was flashed back again. Then
Geronimo confessed that he had OBJ
served these flashes on the mountain
and had believed them to be the mani
festation of spirits.
From here to that point said I,
sis a distance of nearly days march.
From that point we can communicate
all over this country. I can send mes
sage to Fort Bowie, IS miles away, or to
Fort Apache, nearly 800 miles from
here, and get an answer before the sun
goes down in the west
eff you can talk with Fort Bowie,
he said, at once, do this. I sent my
brother there as a guarantee of my
good faith. Now tell me If my brother
is all right
81 gave the order to the operator.
Now said 1. to Geronimo, you will
have to wait. for that inquiry, with the
reply, will have to be repeated six
times
in short time the answer came
back that Geronimo's brother was
there, was we'll and waiting for him to
come.
This struck the savage with awe.
He said something TO one of his war
riors, whereupon the latter quietly
turned on his heel, mounted his pony
and rode rapidly back in the direction
of the mountains whence Geronimo had
come. I asked the interpreter standing
near by what Geronimo had said.
He told them to go and tell
Natchez,' was the answer. that there
was power here that he could not I'M
derstand. He told him to come in, and
come quick
THE heliostat had performed its last
and best work. In a few hours Natchez
came riding down from the mountains
with his band of warriors and their
families, and so surrendered a tribe
that has never been matched since the
days of Robin Hood."-Detroit Free

HOUSES MUST COME DOWN.
The Butcher weyIer in a New Role of
Barbarism.


HAVANA, April 15.-In view of the
approach of the rainy season Capt.
Gen. Weyler has ordered the erection
of an infrmary on the trocha and the
extension of the military hospitals.
New hospitals will be constructed I'M
der the supervision of the sanitary in
spector-general at Trinidad, Casilda,
Isabella and Sagua.
The captain-general has ordered the
demolition of all houses inside the
cultivation zone. This is on the theory
that the peasants will remain at night
in the blockhouses and remove their
families to the towns.
In this way, says Gen. Weyler, the
regulars will not be exposed to the
risk, in case of insurgent aggression,
of shooting women and children.
Five well-known merchants have
been fined $500 each for issuing frac-
tional scrip without authority.
There have been skirmishes at Pla-
cetas, Sagua, Ciego Avila and Grande
Minas, in which, according to the Off
cial reports, the insurgents lost IS
killed. More than 90 huts have been
destroyed in the district named.

But VIII Not Deliver the Lecture at the
Nashville Exposition.
NEW YORK, April 16.-Theodore
Roosevelt will not deliver, as he had
been invited to do, an address before
the Patriotic and Historical societies
on Kings Mountain day, October Z, at
the Tennessee Centennial exposition in
Nashville. Mr.. Roosevelt said to-day
that he declined the invitation because
of official duties before he learned
that objection to his selec-
ton had been made by the
Campbell chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, of Nash
vile, based upon exceptions taken to
statement made by Mr.. Roosevelt in his
book EARLY Settlers in the West" re-
fiecting upon Gen. Sewer. the first gov
ernor of Tennessee. In that work, Mr..
Roosevelt describes a battle with In
dams, the troops, the Tennessee pio-
neers, being commanded by Gen.
Sewer. After the battle Sewer is said
to have stood calmly by while his men
butchered the captured Indians. This,
Mr.. Roosevelt says, is historically &C
curate; but historical accuracy does
not appear to meet with favor when it
brushes away mere legendary lore,
which latter adorns Sewer with
characteristics more in keeping with
the ideas of the revolutionary daught-

Wash and Ely.

When wasp catches a fly it imme-
diateIy bites off both wings, sometimes
a leg or two, and occasionally the head.
Mr. harrington saw some OF the wasps
when laden with one fly catch another,
without letting go the first, and then
fly away with both. There was a con-
slant stream of wasps carrying away
fies, probably to feed the larvae in their
nests, and returning again to the cows
to catch more. In about 20 minutes
Mr.. harrington estimated that between
500 and 400 flies were caught on two
cows lying close to where he stood.
Perhaps this narrative of good deeds
accomplished will lead people to think
more leniently of the vices of the wasp.

a Yellow Sea Where Yesterday Were
Fields and Gardens.
OMAHA, Neb., April 16.-When the
sun went down last night his last light
fell on a vast waste of water, whose
yellow waves, tossed high by strong
breeze from the north all day, rolled
over what. last week, were fields and
gardens and dooryards. All day
the torrents poured from the Mis-
souri, across the North Omaha gar
dens into Florence and Cut-Off lakes.
The former has lost its identity, and
the latter may soon. Last night it was
seven feet higher than it was on Tues
day morning, and was surely cutting
away the dykes that hold it back from
sweeping TO join the Missouri and turn
the long-abandoned course of that
stream agar into race.
When the sun went down the wind
died away TO a great extent, but still
blew. steady breeze. The streams
running into Cut-Of lake from the
north had been increased In volume,
but no longer had a bank to tumble
over.
The houses surrounded by water are
stiu standing, but many are being
slowly undermined, and must soon fall.
There is little change in the situation
down town. The smelter is still above
water. and the railroads have their
threatened tracks well protected.
