DEATH or DR.. RUIZ.
lAhe Facts in the Case Laid Before tn,
Senate.

l1le Facts in the Case. Laid Before the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The presi.
lent has sent to the senate report
made by Secretary Olney on the resolu-
ton requesting the correspondence in
the case of DIR. Ricardo Ruiz. He de-
tails Ruiz arrest on Feb. 4, of which
he says the department was immedl-
ately informed. Nothing more was
heard of the matter until Feb. II, when
the consul general reported that Ruiz
had been found dead. The circum-
stances attending the death were such
as to lead to Z. demand for immediate
investigation.
"After such personal examination as
he was able to make" the secretary
continues, ''ths consul general has re-
ported to the department that Ruiz
was placed and kept for 315 hours in a
small, closed and filthy cell, 3x5 feet,
having rough stone floor, with no
window and only a 6-inch square OPEN
ing in the door for the admission OF
food, which aperture was kept shut ex-
cept when so used that he died from
neglect or violence; that an autopsy
showed seven Commissions on his head /;
that he died from congestion OF the
brain; that there was no fracture of
the skull, but all knowledge was con-
fined to officials, and that it was diff
cult to ascertain the facts"

THE BICYCLE CRAZE.

1t Appears to Have Struck Germany With
Great Force.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Germany's
bicycle business in 1897 is to beat all
previous records, says United States
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz, in a
report to the state department. Great
preparations are being made to meet
enormous demands. Many of the fac.
tories that failed last year to meet de-
mands, have doubled their capacity
and output. Many of the larger con.
Germs will deliver from 10000 to &C, 900
wheels. One company near Nurem-
burg is shipping 1000 wheels each
week. The works have already taken
orders for their full capacity this year,
yet orders continue to flow in. The
consul says there is big business to be
done by any American company that
will place neat light and substantial
wheel on the German market at from
$50 to $75-a 500 wheel cannot be Sold

A CIGARETTE LICENSE.
Chicago Dealers VIII H.v. 70 Pay $40

=.
Year.
: CHICAGO, March 3.-The city council
by unanimous vote has passedHEn or.
dinance requiring every dealer IN Gig.
agrettes in Chicago to pay an annual
license of 800 to the city treasury. The
law passed says that cigarettes cannot
be sold within 200 feet of school All
sold by licensed dealers must have been
inspected by the commissioner OF
health and receive his approval as to
their purity. No cigarette can be sold
which contains opium, morphine, gyp.
sum or other poisonous matter. The
down town dealers in the paper sticks
say they will not feel the effects of the
license much, but in the suburbs the eff.
feet of the ordinance will be to prac.
tically prohibit the sale. Mayor Swift
will sign the ordinance which goes into
effect Immediately.
The women's clubs have taken great
interest in the cigarette ordinance, be-
cause it was at least a step in the direc.
ton of stopping the use of tobacco / J
school boys
Mrs. Pennoyer L. Sherman, vice
president of the Chicago Woman's
club, and ex.chairman of the reform
committee. says:
While the ordinance will not stop
the sale of cigarettes, it's general effect
will be good in several ways. 1t will
close out the small dealers and thus
lessen the temptation of the boys.''

Significant References Brought Out

Significant References Brought Out at
the Ohio Banquet.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-At the ban
quet given in honor of Senator Sher-
man at the Hotel Cochran by the Ohio
Republican congressional delegation,
the coming secretary of state made a
significant reference to Cuban affairs
when he declared positively that the
rights of American citizens should be
protected by land and sea. He said ::
1--WE intend to protect our citizens
whether they be on land or sea-"
We glory, he said, to build up among
our fellow republics in North and South
America examples of our own, and he
expressed the opinion that the time
was not far distant when the whole
Western hemisphere would be under
Republican forms of government. The
United States was the beacon light of
the world, and he believed the Repub-
hcan countries would march step by
step to the music of the right to govern
themselves.

RODRIGUEZ A FIGHTER.

Defeats the Spaniards in a Battle in
Havana Province.
NEW YORK, March "a dispatch to
The World from Havana says: Gen
eral Rodriguez has signallized his
entry into Havana province by two en-
counters with the Spaniards that will
make them fear him. A force of $50
insurgents encountered on Saturday
more than 500 Spanish guerrillas at the
heights, 20 miles south of Havana.
The Spaniards had raided camp OF
pacificos there some days before, and,
hearing that it had been re-established,
marched again to kill those who were
left. The insurgents allowed the
guerrillas to reach nearly to the top of
the hill, where the path was steep and
narrow, then fired, rolled down huge
boulders and sprung the mines. The
guerrillas were panic stricken by the
frightful slaughter, and. to complete
their rout, a small field piece sent into
their ranks grape and canister.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The World
says: Passing coasters observed fou1
suspicious looking craft, two tugs, a
schooner and barge, lying off Barne-
gat till the storm with its white fuz7

the vision.
The steamer, with single funnel, a
black hull and two masts rugged as der

morning, signalled the tugs, which
answered Understandings, and pres
emily came about and tied up alongside
the little fore and aft rugged sailing
vessel, which in turn was made fast to
one Of the tugs and had no sail spread.
The whole proceeding looked like the
start of carefully planned flibuster-
ing expedition for Cuba.

On and OF a Donkey.

When we were boys, our first lessons In

but, ON the whole, amiable disposition.

trials to which we subjected 1t, we tooE

off. which is so useful supplement- TO

master himself, in all his glory OF boots

Joe, the coachman's boy, declared all
our theory of donkey riding to be lncor-

donkey could kick off the riding master,
boots and brooches and all, 1t entirely fnil'
ed to shake Joe from his seat by any OF Its
antics. But then Joe's method was en-
tirely different from that OF the riding
masters. 1t was indeed so simple as

or course the original frame would natu-
rally be preferred by buyer OF better
taste. because it will be in keeping with
the picture itself. The garish effect OF OF
new gliding against an old canvas should
be obvious to any one who is able to own
a fine painting, but it is curious how In

pipe.
"Ye-es," said the customer, handing the
pipo over. "But, say, that's now one on
me. What's the idea of wetting itY''
The cigar store man by this time had
the pipe under the water faucet ana was
driving water through it at great rate.
II learned that, he said, from pipe
manufacturer. This first wetting makes
a brier pipe last twice as long as it would
otherwise. The reason Is that the wood
is very dry. This pipe here has been in
the store six months. maybe year. III
was very dry when we got it, and OF course
it's drier now. Well, it stands to reason
that when fire is applied to the wood, the
pipe will char quickly, and once 1T begins
it burns through in short time. NOW, a
good soaking like I'm giving this pipe
dampens the wood. The wood absorbs
great deal of the water and it won't burr
so easily. After four or five pipefuls o.
tobacco have been smoked there Is very lit
tie danger of tho pipe burning except a
the moment it is being lighted. Away
remember to light your tobacco, and no
