According to the Information OF

Paris Temps.
An Official Reply Will Be Made
When the Court Returns
to Madrid.


PARIS, Sept. 20.-A dispatch from
San Sebastian to The Temps of this city
says that in his interview with the
Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs, the United States
minister to Spain, General Stewart L.
Woodford, did not present any claim
for indemnity, but confined the inter.
view to a moderate phrase in the state.
ment Of the great injuries commerce
and industry had suffered in the United
States through the prolongation of the
Cuban war.
General Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de.
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov
crnment that it was evidently impossi-
BILE to end the rebellion in a reasonable
time, and further, that if the war con.
tinued Cuba would be devastated and of
no utility to Spain or to the Cubans. In
conclusion, the United States minister
is said to have insisted courteously but
firmly upon the necessity Of terminal
ing the war, declaring that if it was not
terminated by the end of October the

The Duke of Tetuan, still according
to the dispatch to The Temps, while
protesting against alleged American
''pretentions," said he would reply
officially to the United States minister
when the Spanish court returns to
Madrid.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-United States
Minister Woodford has reported to the

BUTTER BURNED.
Eggs Roasted and the Shipping House and
Stock Of ]. E. Turner Swallowed up
in Flames This Morning
Heavy Loss.

About d O'CLOCK this morning Night
Watchman Lee discovered fire and
smoke rolling from the top of J. E.
Turner'S butter and egg storage house
near the depot and the alarm was quick
ly given. The water works responded
promptly and the tiremen got there in
excellent shape, but the fire had got
such lheadway among the intlamable
stock in the west end of the store house
that it took three streams of water from
the hydrants considerable time to get
the fire under control. The building
and contents as far us the ice house on
the east end were almost totally de-
stroyed. Mr.. Turner estimates his loss
ut about $4,000, with 81, 200 insurance on
building and stock, in the Niagara and
North British Mercantile companies. In
tue storage room were over 5000 dozen
of eggs, 1000 pounds of butter, u car
load of butter having been shipped just
the day before, $40 worth OF cases be-.
sides Il carload of filters, butter tubs,
machinery and fixtures. Mr.. Turner
has no Theory as to the origin Ut the fire,
as no fire of any kind was used in the
building yesterday, except a candle or
two uear the center of the building used
in testing eggs, but which were ex-
tinguished long before the workmen left
tie building at = p. IN. The ruins would
indicate that the tire started in the west
end aud the burning was confined main
ly to that part OF the building when
help first appeared on the seem 1t is
also freely stated that those who first
saw the fire after the alarm was given,
say that it was under the west end
which stood several feet from the
ground on posts. II this be true it
would point to in%cendiarism, but such
things can be more easily surmised than
verified. The night being quiet was
favorable to the protection Of adjoining
property, the flour MILL of Cotfey g.
Larkin and Harling's wood yard and
machine shop being in greatest danger.
For the present, Mr.. Turner will take
the ice out OF the portion Of the building
remaining and put it in a refrigerator
car and take care OF his business in this
portion which is 16 by "a feet, until such
time as he can make other arrangements.

SEEKING ADVICE.
The Habit of Going to Others for
Counsel,

The HABIT OF Going to OtAefS tOf
Counsel.
There is a certain class of women who
habituaIiy seek advice. They often do
this as If they were comforting com
pliment ggun the superior judgment or
know1CGge u human affairs possessed
by the e-zCn sought. There are GER
tain fricIG= that every one of us pos
sesses who are so nearly related to us
by ties OF friendship or kindred that
they are as deeply interested in our do
ings, our colniags and goings as we are
ourselves. 1t is to such persons sensi-
tive, refined woman naturally turns,
and not to comparative stranger. Yet
the woman who habitually seeks adj
vice seldom goes to such legitimate
source. She comes to person who is
trihe startled and half fattered per-
haps by the request. The woman who
does this may not be aware of it her
self, but she is often sham; she is not
seeking advice, but sympathy. She
usually desires to follow certain
course, and has often become so stub
bornly fixed in her determination that
nothing short of violent upheaval of
all her plans would keep her from it.
She will not follow advice. She wishes
merely to be confirmed in her previous
ly formed opinion. She wishes to gain
sympathy with her plans and strength
Of purpose to do as she prefers 10 do.
There are few persons so selfish or SO
Il / L.
throw their burden of whatever nature
upon other people. If there is prob
lem to be solved at school or a difficult
example to be done, there are always =.
number of scholars who wait until GER
tain schoolnates arrive, and then copy
the work from them. The rue is the
same in mature life. There are Ger
tain people habitually too tired" to
think for themselves. They wait and
ask advice Of Mrs Brown or Mrs Smith,
who are in no way bound to them, eX-
cept as obliging neighbors. These
women probably have their own life
problems to occupy them, and it is an
unjust ard selfish thing to burden them
down with problems they are not called
on legitim".cly to solve. One of the
most aggTaTating ways of the woman
who habituip,ly seeks advice is the GER
tainty with which she holds her oblig-
ing neighbor responsible for every fai,
ure that advice given her brings. 1t is
Lard to bear ones own blUndcrs. but
doublv hard to bear the blunders which
other people have committed upon ad-
vice which has been honestly given.
The truth is that no one but some
person who is fully cognizant of all the
circumstances which environ an indi-
vidual is capable of giving advice on
vital matters.
1t is for this reason that even more
Objectionable parsonage, 'the woman
who is always giving advice" is not to
be tolerated. She is particularly de-
cided in raatters judged from the super
fetal external light in which she sees
them, and therefore her judgment is an
i1npertinence.-N. Y. Tribune.

DOLLARS DAILY DESTROYED.
Women Experts Who Can Detect the
Best-Nade Commercials

Every working day in the year Uncle
Sam destroys million dollars; de
liberately tears up and grinds to pulp
S1000,0 900 worth of paper money
genuine bank notes and greenbacks.
A million dollars in one, two, five, ten,
twenty, fifty, one-hundred, and one
thousanddoilar notes are daily punched
Iull OF holes, cut into halves and thrown
into a machine that rapidly reduces
them to a mass of mushy substance.
Whenever Il piece of paper money be-
comes sCiled or torn it may be presented
to the United States treasury and re-
deemed Sooner or later every note
that circulates among the people be-
comes unfit for further service, for it
is bound to become dirty or mutilated
by constant handiinga and the United
States government stands ready to give
the holder Of such a note a new note i'll
exchange for it; or, in other words, the
government will redeem it.
The majority of the clerks employed
in this Important department of the
government are women, many of whom
are the most expert money counters and
counterfeit dCtectors in the world. II
fact, on.J experts can properly perform
the work that is required; for not onlT
must the soiled and mutilated money
be accurately and rapidly counted, but
all counterfeit notes must be detected
and thrown out. When we consider
that some counterfeiters can so cleverly
initiate genuinemoney that their spuri-
Gus notes will circulate throughout the
country without detection, and are not
discovered until they are finally turned
into the treasury, some idea of the
proficiency of these experts can b.
gained. especially when Us bear in
mind that these notes are often so worn
that the imprint on them can scarcely
be deciphered. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that these bad notes are detected
simply by the feel of them, which, in
some cases, is really the only way Of
discovering the fraud; for while a
counterfeit may occasionally succeed
in so perfectly initiating the design of
a note as to mislead even an expert, it
isnext to impossible for him to counter
felt the paper used by the government.
