HIS GREATEST FEAT.

His greatest feat, however, is to tear
two packs of cards into halves. He
then tears one pack into quarters. and
with the thumb and forefinger of the
right hand and middle finger and palm
of the left he tears these tiny parts
into eighths and again into sixteenths.
This trick is said to be the cleVerest
ever shown by a strong man of long
experience and reputation.

NO CONSUL At NEUVITAS.
The Cuban Who Represented the
United States Fugitive.

Fernandina Fla, Dec 15.-The schooner
Fannie Kenney, Capt Wolfe, has just ar
rived here from Neuvitas, Cuba. He sailed
from Philadelphia Nov. with a cargo
Of coal and arrived at his destination on
Nov. II.
When he arrived there he, of course,
asked first for the United States consul,
to whom he was to report, but was very
much surprised when told by his consig-
nees that the United States consul, who
was a Cuban, had left there some six
months before. and had not come back.
When Capt. Wolfe sailed from that port
he was not able TO get any of the papers
which vessels usually get from a consul,
such as clearance, bill of health, etc. HA
arrived here and an affidavit had to be
made to the custom house authorities 10
the effect that no consul was there and
no one there to represent him. There was
no consul in $50 miles of Neuvitas the
nearest being at Trinidad
1t was said there that the United States
consul thought it best to go to New York,
but other information on the subject could
not be had by the captain.
1t is probable that the consul, being a
Cuban, was afraid to remain and posi-
bly, get in trouble with the Spanish au-
thorities. Not only had the consul left,
but the entire family, composed of his
father and brother-in-law and their fami-
lies.
Capt. Wolfe said that there was no bus
mess there and no work, although he had
to pay the hungry men who helped him
discharge his coal 81 50 in gold a day Il
was impossible to get them to do it cheap
er, as they knew he was an American, and
decided to bleed him, although there were
hundreds of hungry laborers around
Just before he arrived there there were
thousands of these classes concentrated
there, but Blanco recently allowed them
to return to the country, and he has no
doubt but that lots of them joined the
insurgents ranks. as he was told that
large bands of Insurgents were always
in few miles of the town. While he was
there one Spanish man-of-war and a river
armored boat was in port all the time
Capt Wolfe said there was any amount
of soldiers around and in Neuvitas but
they didn't seem to go out and hunt the
insurgents, who were reported near by
Some of the soldiers, who were all bows
loafing around the town, told Capt Wolfe
that they hadn't been paid their salaries
for nine months.
There was a train running irregular
from Neuvites to Port au Principe, a dis
lance of about 4S miles and as it was go
ing out the engineer, who spoke English
told the captain that in this short dis
| lance his train had been blown up bv the
! insurgents three times, and that each time
he had been lucky enough to get out I'M
hurt.
Food was very high. An ordinary cab
bage was cut in four pieces and sold at Il
cents quarter, thus making cabbage
worth 40 cents. Beef was selling at SC
cents per pound. The food that was is
sued to the soldiers was composed of moth
ing but beans and Goldfish

Macon, Ca, Dec. 15.-The case against
Miller Gordon, secretary of the Progress
Loan Company, went over until tomorrow
when called in the United States court this
morning 1t took this course by consent
of counsel on both sides
Late last night about 100 shares of stock

ed and he slept well last night. 1t is prob
able that the case will be taken up to-mor-
row and concluded during the day.

charged with robbing the mails last Au-
gust. was called in the United States court
this morning. Willis was detected by In
spector Little in taking money from a
letter delivered to him on his route. His
attorney argued that the decoy letter
which Willis took was not intended for
the mails, and, therefore, no violation of
the law had been done, and on this
ground Judge Speer ordered the case dis
missed.
Tonight about o'clock, J. ]. Wimberly,
aged So, was coming to this city from
Twiggs county and while on jefferson

WARNER TELLS OF HIS FLIGHT.
Claims to Have Been Riding over the
Country on a Bicycle.

Albany y. Y, Dec. 15.-Requisition pa
pers for Albert S. Warner. the kidnapper,
who was caught in Kansas City, will be
made out tomorrow.
The story that woman betrayed War
ner TO the police is denied here by Chief
Of Police Willard. A telegram from De-
tective Mccain to this city details that he
had traced Warner through many states.
Warner told Mccain that after his es-
cape from Conway and his friends in the
woods near here he boarded a train.
When near Schenectady he learned that
the conductor knew who he was, and be
fore the train reached town he jumped
from it and walked to Kingston, seventy
six miles, where he took a train to Jersey
City. He stayed there five days with a
friend, who ''peached" on him, but he got
away, and felt so blue over his prospects
that he had decided to give himself up TO
the police.
He was walking to the police station for
that purpose when he saw a bicycle stand
ing a the curb in front of a store. He
made up his mind TO flee. Jumping on the
wheel he rode off, and kept going until he
reached Riley, Kan. He went south, and
had been in Alabama, Tennessee and as
far west as New Mexico. and as far north
as st. Paul, Mimi, travelling from city to
city. Then he struck out for Kansas. He
pawned the bicycle a few days ago.

SEASON OF MOURNING IN PARIS.
Cemeteries All Crowded the First
Two Days i'll November

Paris Letter in London Telegraph.
Nov. l, being set apart for the comment
GRAFTON of ali the saints, is treated here,
as well as iQ many other continental cit
les, as another Sunday, and hence bust
ness was at a standstll. One could not
help feeling that it was a pity the mourn
ers had not reserved their touching dis
plays of grief and their demonstrations of
fidelity to the dead until tomorrow, the
real church-sanctifed Jours DIES Morris the
genuine period for commemorative all
souls or, as the French say, les trepasse
Many, however, cannot afford to go to the
cemeteries on a working day, so the Tous-
saint has to be utilized for the purpose
Hence, there were really immense crowds
in the great graveyards throughout the
day. The roads leading into Pere Lachaise
and Montmartre Metropolis this afternoon
were emphatically black with people and
with policemen, who were insuring regu-
larity and watching light-fngered gentry
who dress in mourning on such occasions
in order to mingle with the crowds more
easily, and to operate, as it were, under
cover of Grape
Another feature of the day was the vast
display of chrysanthemums Among the
tombs of celebrities most visited during
the days of All Saints and Souls. that is to
say, on NOV. ana z, are those of the poll
ticians, warriors, writers and artists in
TERED in Pere Lachaise, Montmartre and
Montparnasse. The funeral monuments in
Pere Lachaise, like those of AbeIard and
Heloise, are the best known of all Among
the most imposing tombs is that erected
to the memory of M. Theirs by his fam
lily, but this will be echpsed by the great
monument dedicated TO the dead which is
being constructed in the principal avenue.
The memorial was designed by Bartholo-
me, and will not be completed for two
years to come. 1t represents the entry to
tomb and its frontages is full of figures
representing different forms of grief. such
as disbursement, despair, resignation
and prayer. 1t is in stonework and when
finished will form a gloomily dramatic or
nament of the chief Paris Cemetery Tho
cost is over $1,000 the money being fond
by the state and the city. Another sneciaI
feature of Pere Lachaise Just now is tba
tomb of Murger, which has been brought
into prominence by the production of The
