'I'm deaf" replied the gentleman.

Of paper.
''Deaf, is 'e?'' thought the beggar.
''Then e didn't ear about the paraly-

So he wrote down:

dreffel state Of destertushun.
He handed the paper to the gentle
man, who read it and said:
II thought you said you were para
lyzed in both hands and couldn't grasp
anything, and yet you can write.''
"Did-didn't ye say ye'was deaf?"
stammered the beggar, who now really
did feel paralyzed.

"Well, of all the bloomin frauds, yer

Of his methods. He admitted haunting

women coming from these meetings

A Hssty Introduetlon.

Speaking Of introductions, said
the much travelled man in the smoker,
reminds me Of the queerest one I ever
saw or heard Of and in which I was one
Of the principals. I was crossing from
Nova Scotia to Boston on q schooner
loaded with plaster, chance that came
to me in country port where ! was
staying for my health. As the boat
saved me 60 miles OF stage coach riding
to the town Of Halifax, where the near
est steamer travel was to be found, I
took passage and for ten days vas tossed
about on sea voyage that by steamer
consumes SO hours.
'sThere was another PASSENGERS
tourist like myself-and tho captain
made several desperate efforts to get us
acquainted, he knowing us both, but at
each attempt before he could pronounce
our names he was either called on deck
or the ship gave lurch and the intro
duction did not take place.
"But one day, when it was SO rough
outside that we staid in our hunks in
the captains cabin and the wind was
blowing great guns, the skipper, who
had come below for something, stopped
to say:
"'You two gentlemen ought to be
made acquainted. Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Brown; Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Smith.
"That is the down east method Of in
PRODUCING people, and as our names
were mentioned we each turned in our
hunks to salute the other, the hunks be-
ing on exactly opposite sides of the
cabin.
But at that moment each one of us
shot from his bunk as if from the mouth
Of q cannon, and as we passed at that
high rate Of speed we caught each
others hand and shook it with will
and had just time to acknowledge the
captains politeness by saying as we
few past:
"'Glad to know you, Mr.. Smith
Delighted to meet you, Mr..

HOG CHOLERA.

Two Railway Companies Trying to Per.
suade Farmers It Ii Not ~ Germ Disease.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 6.-T:.e Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul and Burlington
companies are still experimenting with
view to checking hog cholera, which
has been 30 seriously deciinating the
herds along their lines as to reduce the
shipments materially. That success
has attended their efforts is shown by
letters from scores Of farmers and hog
raisers who have followed the advice
and used the remedies recommended by
the agents of the railroad companies.
One Of the most active agents in the
effort to lessen the death rate among
hogs is Mr.. f. j. Clemmons, division
freight agent of the Chicago, Milwau.
kee and St. Paul, whose headquarters
are at Dubuque. He said: ga thor
ough investigation at various points
into the cause Of hog cholera leads me
to believe that the disease is caused by
irregular and improper feeding. The
disease is more prevalent in the fall
when the farmers commence to gather
the animals for market than at any
other time. The hogs are then taken
from pastures, crowded into pens and
permitted to gorge themselves with
grain. IF care were taken in changing
from one grain to another and in the
quantity given at regular times, I be.
lieve that what is called hog cholera
would be prevented.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. PAM
has an expert on the road all the time
advising farmers and endeavoring tc
demonstrate experimentally that the
hog cholera is not caused by germ, as
it is popularity supposed. The farmers
generally cling to the germ theory and
insist that the disease is contagious.
The demonstrations of the railroad
agents in maintaining the bad feeding
theory, however, are making May
converts and saving the lives of an i'm.
mense number of hogs.

Cubans Win Not Accept Autonomy From
Sagast,.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-General Julio
Sanguilly, who was arrested in Cuba,
tried, convicted, pardoned and released
at the request Of the United States gov
eminent, said in discussing the Spanish
crisis: 81 do not believe the formation
by Sagasta Of a Liberal cabinet will
have any effect on the Cuban insur-
gents. The efforts Of the previous adj
ministrations have come to be looked
upon in Spain as the wrong policy and
the feeling now is for any honorable
method or means to end the war. Sa-
gasta really believes that with liberal
provisions autonomy would be accepta.
BILE to the Cubans. He is very much
mistaken. The Cubans have gone too
far to accept autonomy. They are in
better condition now to fight to the end
for absolute freedom than ever before"

Advisers Tell Her There Is No
Alternative Cuba a Ques-
ton Of Politics.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA special to The
Would from Madrid via Bayonne says:
In all her consultations with the Span.
;ish generals and the leaders Of the
political parties. the queen regent has
laid stress chiefly upon the question Of
SPANS relations with the United
States and the best means Of averting
the loss Of Cuba through prolongation
of the war and consequent American
intervention, thereby imperiling the
stability Of her sons throne, let alone
playing into the hands Of the Republic
cans and Carlists who have been
especially troublesome Of late. The
queen insisted strongly upon discussing
Whether Spanish rule In the West
indies would not be jeopardised BY a
too extended grant Of autonomy, thus
enabling the separatists to prepare
gradually and legally their revolution
toward Independence. She earnestly
asked the statesmen IL they really be.
1eve liberal government would be
strong enough to make the majority Of
the Spaniards accept extended home
rule. involving . sacrifie Of Spanish
material interests in the colonial
markets and q heavy burden Tor the
Spanish treasury II saddled with part
OF the Cuban debt. The queen ques.
toned whether Sagasta would be able to
Restrain Public Opinion,
the press and the opposition parties, If
he made concessions to the colonies un.
der the pressure Of American diplomacy.
The queen cannot believe success would
crown so complete reversal Of the pol.
icy which has been followed for the
past two years and half.
It seems that some, If not all, of her
loyal advisers had the courage to tell
the queen regent that the alternative
lies between q sincere trial of new pol.
icy, embracing an understanding with
the United States. and the greater peril
of conflict with America, probably
entailing the loss Of the colonies.
