Day Is Not Going, AIack-a-Day,

SO Judge Day Is not going to Cuba as
the Presidents special commissioner, or
as the dispatches say, as an attorney to
look out for the interests Of the United
States in the Ruiz investigation. Instead,
he will go into the state department,
where he may have to engage in diplo-
matte negotiations" with Spain touching
upon other matters. Meantime, it is not
certain that another attorney" will be
designated ito assist Consul General Lee
in watching the Ruiz case" 1t was pretty
well understood, as a matter of fact, that
Judge Day would be expected to look
further than Havana, for the information
Of the President. There was some dis
cussion as to whether or not Gen. Wey-
Ter would permit him, even as the com
missioner Of the President, to visit the in
surgent camps.
Has the administration abandoned the
purpose of sending into the camps
of the insurgents for special in
formation? Has 1t received in
formation which induces the conclusion
that such investigation is unnecessary?
Has the President the news, which the
Senate seems to lack. that the war in
Cuba is over, and the Spaniards are vic
torious?
Probably the administration has read
and digested the statement of Julian Ter
raga. an insurgent leader who went into
the Spanish lines a few days ago and
surrendered. saying that he did SO because
the insurgent cause was lost, and he con-
sldered 1t foolhardy to continue the strug-
gle. He added, further, that it would be
a terrible thing for the island If the in
surgents should win, as the independence
of Cuba under them would mean chaos.
and final catastrophe for the island under
complete negro domination.
Whether Zerraga is worthy witness,
may be an open question. But there are
numerous reasons calculated to induce the
belief that he has not very much over
stated the case. The insurrectionary
movement at this time is considerably diff
ferent from what 1t was at the beginning;
it Is vastly different from the uprising
which resulted in the ten years war"
When Marti landed at the eastern end of
the island two years ago he had a large
white backing, and the prospects were
good for him to secure the cooperation
of the planters and other white Cubans.
But for various reasons the blacks have
steadily gained the ascendancy in the
movement Nearly all of the bands that
remain are mostly of blacks under the
leadership of black comma nders. A few
weeks ago it was announced that Senior
Cisneros, president of the provisional gov
eminent, was dead, and Immediately fol-
lowing came the statement that a black
man had been elevated to the presidency.
This, it transpires was an error. But
the black man who was said to have been
made president is at the head of one of
the strongest remaining bands of insur-
gents, and would no doubt be made the
chief executive should the opportunity
arise.
1t is regrettable that affairs in Cuba
have taken such course that-judging
from appearances-the administration at
Washington should deem it unnecessary
to send Judge Day to Cuba.

Personal.

William Plume Moran, the oldest Off
clal in the employ OF the government, is
Sc years old, and received his first ap-
pointment at the age of 16. This was
to the position of clerk of the captain
Of the port at Norfolk and from that date
to this he has served under the navy
department.
John P. cuddy, a farmer Of Baltimore
county, Maryland, who died the other day,
made the first trip on Peter Cooper's To-

graphic message over the Baltimore and

The late Jules Jouy, who wrote many
of the most famous songs of the Paris
streets, was a Partisan Of the Parisians,
and had been a copious contributor to
comic papers ever since he had taught
himself to write, for he received the
merest elementary education in youth. He
first attracted notice by his ballads at the
Chat Noir tavern, and subsequently com
posed many socialistic and political squtbs
in verse. He was one of the most deter
mined opponents of Cen Boulanger.
Once when Prof. Jowett was visiting
his friend and pupil Prof. Sellar, he de-
clared that he never gave to beggars.
Mrs. SelIar was an adept in ''mystitica-
tions," an accomplishment popular in
Scotch society since Sir Walter Scotts
time. She disguised herself as a poor
Highland woman and waylaid her nus
band and Jowett at a cross road, begging
unfortunately and telling her tale of woe
so piteously that Jowett at last said:
Poor thing! She seems very miserable;
give her half a crown" Stellar said he
had no money with him, and before the
aims were Forthcoming the secret was tri-
umphantly unveiled.

Mr.. Pauncefofe of England.

Mr.. Pauncefote of England, who is in
this country as the queens representative
At Washington, is in danger of becoming
tiresome. He is disposed to put on alto
gether too many social frills He demands
that his social status shall be clearly I'M
derstood, and claims that that status gives
him the place of Second Gentleman in the
United States. He very kindly accords
the position of First Gentleman to the
President of our country. He will not sit
at table at dinner unless he has the
place of honor, and he will not attend the
Grant memorial exercises unless he is
permitted to come first after the President
ahead of the Vice President, and even
ahead of Mrs. Grant and the other men,
bers Of the deceased generals family.
Mr.. Pauncefote-he is Sir Julian at home
has evidently not yet become familiar
with the genius of American affairs. We
have no royalty and nobility here: no
princes and dukes, and barons and
knights. We know nothing of the "di-
vine right of kings" and care less. In
social affairs. we accord precedence as a
matter of courtesy. and not as a matter
of right. To demand social precedence as
a matter of right in this democracy of
states is an anomaly; a ridiculous one. In
the ethics Of American customs the Sir
prefix to Mr.. Pauncefote's name loses the
potent charm which characterizes 1t in
England and Europe. We simply don't
know anything about "Sirs,' and the like,
and don't want to know. The procession
should be ordered TO move along accord
ing to programme, without Mr.. Paunce-
fote.

ALawyer,s Reminiscences.

A prominent Bowling Green lawyer,
who does considerable business in the
courts of Edmonson county, entertained
some of his friends the other day with
some amusing stories of his experiences
at the Brownsville bar, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal Here are few speci-
mems:
IT was once employed by a saloon man
over there to defend him in a case for SELL
ing liquor to a minor. The law provides
that minor must have an order from the
parent or guardian, stpulating the
amount of intoxicating liquor wanted, and
for a long while my case seemed to be a
pretty knotty one. Finally, however we
introduced the father of the boy to whom
the liquor was sold, and, under a cross
examination, he stated: 4 told ther saloon
man not ter let my boy have over three
drinks of liquor a day until after We'd
nesday, for l needed him as a witness
on that day, and / was Altered that too
much liquor would make him Eighty, and
he couldn't testify as / had told him.
After this testimony we won the case.
Il was in my partners office at Brown
vile one day, when a tall, lank native,
about fifty years of age. came in. After
he had warmed we inquired of him his
business. To the inquiry he replied: L
want ter bring suit agin old man HIS. es-
tate. During the war he drafted me for
service, and when 1 showed up he said he
didn't need me. Eff 1 had a went in 1
would have been a-drawin' a pension now,
and I want ter sue him fer damages fer
keepin' me from drawin' pension When
we told him that his cause for action was
no good he shambled out of the office, and
remarked that there was no Justice in
law nohow.'"
The attorney next showed a certificate
from a physician certifying the inability Of
a witness to attend court. The certificate
leads one to be in favor of compulsory
education. 1t reads as follows: "Gurrge
Settles I hereby certify that 1 seen w. r.

How close to the precipice of profanity
may preacher drive with impunity?
What manner of imprecations may he use
without CUISINE" The query is suggest
ed by lecture delivered in New York
the other night by the Rev. DR.. Rainsford
pastor Of St Georges church.
DR.. Rainsford will be remembered as a
reverend gentleman much given to talking
in such manner as to make other people
talk. He is an athlete, a reformer and an
exemplar of what has been termed the
new pulpit He has a way of express
ing some rather startling opinions some
times in language which. if used in Ala
bama, would be called talking with the

He seemed to be somewhat partial to
his cook for purposes of illustration, for
he further emphasized his point thus: 81

matter a continental cuss what political
party my cook belongs to. / am just as
confident that it doesn't matter what par
ty the municipal officers belong to-"
BY way of putting a sharp point to a
peroration of denunclation he exclaimed:
Let the republican party go to Bally-
hack! Let the democratic party go just
as far!' This raises the question, how
far is Ballyhack from Boston, which Sam
Jones says is only half mile from-the
bad place?
After blistering the politicians, DR..
Rainsford turned his attention to the al
dermen who had dispensed franchises
gratis, and thus paid his respects to them:
II won't say that the men who gave them
away were dishonest. but where they were
honest they were blankety-bank stupid"
Nobody will deny the pungency OF these
remarks. But that isn't the point. The
query is, did the preacher "cuss?

scientific Curio.ities.

OF these scientific curiosities there have

At least two of these latter schemes,
the telescope and the terrestrial globe,

American press already. The globe be-

The movements upon the European chess
board grow interesting. 1t seems that the
Russian bear has reached the conclusion
that it is time for him to play. hence is
reaching out his paw. That, it is thought,
is the meaning Of Bulgaria's newly ac-
quired prominence in the matter.
Under the treaty of Berlin, Bulgaria is
a vassal dependency Of the sultan. But,
while the country nominally owes ale
glance to Turkey, It is actually under the
influence of Russia; and it has been the
opinion for a long time that when the
time came, Russia would use Bulgaria to
further her schemes upon the sultan's en-
pire Ia Europe. It may be that the aus
picious time, for which Russia has been
waiting and scheming. has arrived.
The Bulgarian government has made de-
mands upon the Turkish government for
additional "berats" for Bulgarian bishops
in Macedonia. The "berat' is warrant
or patent of dignity. It has also de-
manded two commercial agents at certain
points in Macedonia. These demands, at
this time, appear almost trivial in their
nature. They touch upon matters which,
it seems, might be allowed to remain as
they are while the province of Macedonia
is in a state of war But Bulgaria has
sent Turkey an ultimatum, and says if
the demands are not acceded to she will
mobilize her army upon the Turkish from
tier.
That probably means she does not want
the "berats" and the commercial agen-
cies so badly as she wants a chance to
fight. Russia has evidently put her up
to it, She has the assurances of Russia
that the Turks would not be permitted
to devour her; that she would be defend
ed-to be swallowed by the bear after
wards.
The Turks have been watchful in antici-
patton of some similar movement, from
one or more of the Balkan states. When
Edhem Pasha first moved towards the
Greek frontier other Turkish troops were
sent to the Montenegro, Servian and
Bulgarian frontiers. where they have
since remained to hold in check any move
ment into Turkish territory from the
north. Should Bulgaria persist in her de-
mands, the precautions taken would indi-
cate that the Turk was well informed with
regard to the intrigues of his enemies and
was determined to sell his possessions as
dearly as possible.
A movement b. Bulgaria across the
frontier would probably arouse Austria
Hungary to action, since that country has
an eye upon the port and gulf of Salon
lea, to which she now has a railway out
let, and which she would like very much
to own. With Bulgaria. backed by Rus
STA, and probably by Germany also. reach
ing down towards Salonica, and Austria
Hungary opposed to any such movement,
the situation would be very critical.
Bulgaria. with Eastern Roumelia, has
population Of about $4,000, and an army
of 100000 men, when on a war footing
The country is almost 50 per cent larger
than Greece, in both area and population

A pisastrous Experiment.

She is a young housewife trying bravely
to be economical and proudly announced
the other day that she was painting her
own furniture and fixtures this spring, says
the Detroit Free Press.
Il should judge so,' shifted her husband,
for the air was filed with the odor of tur-
pentine that seemed 20 become an ingre-
dent of the food. II knew it when turn
ed the corner coming home. I'd have such
work done away from the house, even if
we had to save few dollars when it
comes to buying an Easter bonnet"
ut strikes me that you preach economy
and want to practice extravaganza. My
work looks beautiful and all it cost you
was the paint. 1 really felt happy in the
thought that you would show some appre-
citation, but l suppose L must be content
with the approval of my own conscience
Just as they were about ready to start
for a party that evening the wife let out
a piercing Shrek. She had thoughtlessly
sat down on the edge of the bath tub for a
second, but it was long enough to daub a
whole section of her elegant gown In his
haste to reach her the husband fell over
a rocker, strealdng and stripping his dress
suit with white paint. The pale-faced maid
came running and when she saw that no
one was killed, threw herself into a chair
that stuck to her with all the tenacity of
fresh varnish. The coachman at the front
door thought ii matter of life and death
He sprang from his seat, gathered paint
all along the route and went back to see
the team galloping wildly past a distant
electric light, while the carriage swung
from one side of the street to the other.
They did not go to the party. The wife
burnt a collection of cheap brushes and
threw a can of paint into the alley. The
husband piled furniture into back shed
with the vim of a baggage smasher, and
made a contract with a painter by tele-
phone. The maid gave notice and the
coachman is supposed to have headed for
his former home in England.
