HE WANTED TO START RIGHT.
 On one of the South Halsted street cars, when it left the neighborhood of the Stock Yards the other evening, was man with brand-new valise that had splashes Of mud on it and gave oth- Chicago.
 The man wore black felt hat and a large checked suit, and there was mud enough on his heavy boots to show he had just traversed portion of the Stock Yards. He boarded the ear at Thirty-ninth street, put his valise on the seat beside him, and when the con- ductor stopped to take his fare he pulled out roll of bills.
 The conductor extracted a nickel from a one-dollar bill and handed over the change. The man with the valise extracted a silver quarter dollar from the change and handed it back to the conductor.
 Here" he said, so loudly that every one in the car looked to see what was going on, there's a quarter for your self.'
 I've taken out nickel" said the conductor. q don't want any more."
 Now, don't say another word, friend" replied the passenger. My wife told me before left Kansas City I'd get along good deal better in Cht- cago if I tipped everybody, and I'm go- ing to start with you. You take that quarter like little man and do the best you can by me on this trip and don't say anything more or I'll make 1t half."-Chicago Tribune.

in with gravel. About four feet from the ground an open slit of three inches is left for firing purposes. These barri- cades command every street leading to- ward the center of the town. The plan of defence is that at the first alarm the soldiers shall rush to these Notifications and hold them against the insurgents. Besides these central preparations, Gu anabacoa has a number of small forts on the surrounding hills. But, not withstanding this elaborate provision, the insurgents @ few weeks ago passed between the forts, entered Guanabacoa, sacked several stores and burned a number of houses.
 In the cars which run between Hava- na and Guanabacoa soldiers are on guard duty at all times. Their loaded muskets are stacked in the corners of the coaches. With such conditions at the outskirts of Havana it is evident the insurrection has not been sup pressed. One side doesn't wish to end the war; the other cannot. Between the insurgents and the Spaniards lies hopelessness for the great population of non-combatants unless there is inter- ference in the name of humanity.
 Guanabacoa is a place of sufficient importance to have both electric and gas lights. Yet when night comes there is to be witnessed the extraordinary spectacle of every householder hanging beside his front door an oil lamp. From end to end each street shows as many lamps burning as there are houses. It is the order of the military governor, whose explanation is that the insur- gents In night attack might cut the wires or turn off the gas, in which event the Spanish soldiers behind the barricades could not see to shoot them. This is the military necessity for the lamps. It is town talk that the gover nor is a partner in a store which does the principal business in oil and lamps. If this is not true. then the goyerloE of

Guanabacoa is lar behind the other Spanish officials of Cuba in private en- terprise.
 The sight of Guanabacoa which most sadly impresses is the yellow flag.
 What did you see over there?" an American was asked in Havana after his return from @ visit to Guanabacoa.
 Lots of yellow flags" was the reply. In drive through the streets of the town the yellow flag is never out of sight. In the poorer quarters, where the pacificos have crowded, the yellow flags can be counted by the score. They designate the houses in which small pox is raging. But so accustomed have the people become to the presence of the pestilence that they go in and out of the affected houses with little regard for the flags. In month more yellow fe- yer will add its terrors to smallpox, and then no one can tell how rapidly these half-clad and ill-nourished pacifi- cos in their leaking huts will die.
 Around Guanabacoa are fertile and green fields. The showers are becoming frequent. The trees are renewing their foliage, which never entirely falls in IHiS CilHldlt put lueIe dFe no crops growing. In the journey from Havana only one man was seen in the fields. The Guanabacoa market house is a building that befits the former well-to- do character of the place. No great stretch of the imagination is required to fill the stalls with the wonderful variety of fruits and vegetables of which Cuba Is capable. But to-day the appearance of the shelves is too sickening for de- scription. A sanitary officer, if this was market in an American town, would condemn and throw into the gar

MO one knows by heart the addresses of all the people in New York. Everyone goes to the
 directory to find that information when he wants it, and he opens the directory at the As or B's instead of having to search all its pages.

The od-fashioned encyclopedias not satifactory in this respect, Their information is hidden away in long general articles which you must through before you find the particular paragraph that is of to you It is as if the city directory gave the lists of names by streets you would need to know on what street a man lived before you could find his name and house number.

MAN MURDERED
NEAR THREE LAKES.
I'm Old Trapper Shot BY II Compan'
ion-The Body Found Fastened
to the Bottom of the Lake,

Something over three weeks ago
Charles French, an old trapper quite
well known in this vicinity, disappear
ed from his shanty on Pine lake, about
eighteen miles east of Three Lakes. A
young man by the name of John Blu
ion. His stories of the disappearance
of French were conflicting, so much so,
rs to raise the suspicion of foul play
and Bumiller was arrested. Nothing
could be proven against him at the ex-
animation and he was released. Mean
while the search for French was vigor-
ously prosecuted. Last Monday par
ty of men who were crossing Pine lake
discovered the body of French on the
bottom of the lake in about seven feet
of water. When they attempsed to re-
move the body they found that it was
fastened down with wire. They re-
moved this and took the body to shore.
1t was clad only in under-clothes.
Upon examination it was found that
he had been shot through the body and
one arm was also shattered by a bullet.
The sheriff was notified and q coroners
inquest held. All of the evidence
pointed to French S companion, Bumil-
Ter, as the guilty party and seemed to
indicate that the murder was premedi-
tated and was committed while French
was asleep.
As soon as the body was discovered
Bumiller took to the woods and has not
been found as yet although the woods
are full of men looking for him. The
excitement is great and the indigna
ton strong and it is liable to go hard
with him if captured with the feeling
Mt the present state.
Mr.. French was married man and
his family resides at Three Lakes. He
was an old soldier and drew pension.
The funeral was held at Three Lakes
at two O'Clock yesterday.

One Of the tines of Senator 'Tlman's
pitchfork scratched Col. Larry Gantt's
euticle the other day. 1t was unfriendly
of the senator to handle his weapon so
carelessly as to wound the daddy" of
the dispensary. The colonel, however.
proceeds at once to show that he is not
defenseless; that he is something of an
expert with pitchforks himself. and that,
furthermore he has a Headlight, with the
aid Of which he is enabled TO make his
strokes particularly telling.
To drop hgurative speech, Senator Till
man the other day sought to ridicule Col.
the dispensary institution and make il APP
pear that the colonel was making a mighty
big fuss over mighty small
matter. In reply the ex-Geor-
gian makes specific charges, and
virtually dares Tllman and the other
big guns OF the reform" faction to
bring about an investigation OF them.
Col CAN'T charges that during the Trax-
Ter regime Cwhen Tllman was governor
Of the state, ana personally made pur-
chases for the dispensary) several hun
dred dollars more per car load was paid
for cheap whisky than is now paid. al
though the revenue tax on liquors has
been increased % cents per gallon since
that time" He says also that private
parties at that time bought the same
grades Of whisky for 30 cents per gallon
less than the state paid for A. and also
eot rebate Of per cent, notwthstand-
ing the private parties bought in much
smaller quantities than did the state. And
yet, he declares. the state ala not receive
one dollar Of rebates during the Traxler

says the state lost N.4OO. and says that
probably quarter OF million dollars all
told went somewhere except into the state

SALVATION versus sIeep.

A New York court has convicted the
commander of the Salvation Army of
maintaining a disorderly house at the
army's barracks" in that city. The suit
was brought by parties who claimed that
the Salvationists kept up such a racket at
night, and sometimes all night long, that
1t was impossible TO sleep in the nelghbor-
hood. Property owners complained that
the shouting and singing and tambourine
playing had depressed the value of real
estate and sent rents downward.
One real estate dealer testified that,
while the army might have been exerting
its efforts against the powers of evil, it
raised h" Seventeen hundred per-
sons, he asserted, had gathered in the hall
upon one occasion, and probably every
one of them took a part in the noise-mak-
Ing. They sang verses to the tune of, I'VE
Won't Go Home Till Morning" 'Well
Never Get Drunk Again." paradise AL
ley" Comrades" and the like, meantime
clapping their hands and stamping their
feet. On another occasion there were prob
ably $50 drums, comets, cymbals, tam
bourines, and other musical instruments
In the place, all going at the same time;
and they kept going all night. The army
was holding what it called a "hallelujah
eye-opener," and among other attractions
1t had Joe the Turk" dressed up like a
monkey and blowing a cornet.
The court concluded that there was good
ground for the complaints, and found the
accused commander guilty. 1t is not like
ly, however that his punishment viii be
severe. The Salvation Army has won
recognition as a powerful agency for good
in the great cities, despite its peculiar
methods. 1t reaches and brings under the
influences of the gospel many persons,
who probably would never hear Gods
name, except in an oath. If 1t were not for
the army's efforts. Still, il is necessary
that it's demonstrations should be kept
within bounds. 1t Is not precisely condu-
Give to religious reflections or meek and
lowly disposition to have ones slumber
broken in upon by blaring brass bands
night after night. 1t is hardly Christian
to torture the tympanums of a whole
neighborhood with the cornet practice of
Joe the Turk during the hours that
should be devoted to natures sweet re-
storer blessed sleep" Therefore, while It
is to be regretted that the praiseworthy
institution ran afoul of the law, 1t is not
to be denied that the verdict of the court
was in the right line.

sermons Dead and Forgotten.

once addressed her husband as follows,
says the Longman's Magazine: There's
Watty Scott, that was at school with you,
has published books, and got thousands
of pounds for them. Why don't you pub
lish a volume of your sermons and get
thousands of pounds for it?' For that
good lady one volume was just as good
as another, and there was no reason why
"Waverly'' should interest human beings
more than a collection of discourses all
of which had set the congregation to
sleep. The good cleric understood things
better than his admiring partner, but he
did not suggest the consideration which
the astute reader has thought of. Quite
another. He replied: "Wheesht, wum>
man, they're a in print already" He
added no more. Nor did she. Only let
me say, as with authority, that though
the sermons you have conveyed be very
good in themselves, they will sound very
duu when delivered by you.
Just yesterday a very accomplished man
said to me, with much feeling: Il have

it is perfectly certain it did?' One could
but say that Chalmers could not publish
that which was the first, second and third
thing which did the work at the moment
of the awful hush, passed away. Further,
the taste has changed. Much more direct
sentences are wanted now. Even Henry
