A CUBAN
CELEBRATION
To be Held in New York in Honor Of
Miss CiSnerOS.
HOW SHE ESCAPED FROM HAVANA.
Her Friends Piled the Detectives With
Wine and She Boarded the Steamer
Seneca in Male Attire Perhaps
weyler Permitted Her
Escape.

New York, Oct 14.-The Cuban junta
has issued an invitation to the people
of greater New York and vicinity in
terested in Senorita Cosio y Cisneros
and the cause of Cuba to attend a re-
ception te be rendered to the rescued
young woman at Delmonicos, on Fifth
avenue, Saturday night The reception
will really be a demonstration of sym
pathy with the struggling republic, and
speakers of national reputation will
address the gathering.
Miss Cisneros is stopping at the Hotel
Waldorf. She does not speak English,
but her face is very expressive, and she
seemed TO intuitively understand the
questions put to her and answered in
Spanish. Among the party is Mrs. ].
Ellen Foster, of Washington, president
Of the National Womans Republican
association.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe arrival
on the Seneca was one of the most
daring feats ever attempted and sue
| cessfully carried out
While she was still in prison her
friends secured passport for one Juan
Sola, and state room No. on the SEN
eca was held in the same name. This
was three days before the boat sailed
When the Seneca was to leave Havana
detectives watched her gangways with
extra caution. All day long they re-
mained at their post examining the
passports which all passengers have
to show before leaving Havana. Their
vigilance would probably have pre-
vented the departure of Miss Cisneros
from Cuba had it not been for a little
refreshment which was served on them
by friends of Miss Cisneros, who were
aboard the Seneca. The refreshment
included wine. The chief of police of
Havana came aboard while the re-
freshment part of the plot was In
progress, and it is alleged that he, too
fell a victim to the wiles Of the Cis.
neros faction.
A few minutes before the Seneca was
ready to pull out from her dock a slim
young fellow came running across the
wharf. He had no baggage, and was
fashionably dressed. He walked quick
ly up the gangplank. The detectives
stopped him. MY name is Juan Sola,"
he said, and he showed his passport
Everything was satisfactory, so the
senior was allowed to go aboard. It is
said that if 1t had not been for the
wine the strange treble and rather
curious figure of Senor Sola might have
excited the suspicious of the Spanish
detectives.
Miss Cisneros did not court danger
any more than was necessary, and al
once went to her cabin. The next day
| however, when MORO Castle was left
far behind, she appeared on deck
| transformed into Senorita Juana Sola
alias Cosio y Cisneros, and dressed in
a becoming red gown.

A Queer Fact About Vision.

In the eye itself certain things may
go on which give us wrong sensations,
which, although not truly illusions,
are. very much like them. Thus, when
we suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something in the dark we see
"stars," or bright sparks, which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as if
they were. When we close one eye
and look straight ahead at some word
or letter in the middle of this page,
for example, we seem to see not only
the thing we are looking at, but every
thing else Immediately about it and
for long way on each side. But the
truth is there is large round spot
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking in which we see nothing.
Curiousiy enough, the existence OF
this blind spot was not discovered by
accident, and nobody ever suspected
it until Mariotte reasoned from the
construction of the eyeball that it
must exist and proceeded to find it

Ants as Guests Of Plants.

The ants which are really protec-
tive to plants are not those which OBJ
tain their food Indirectly for the most
part through the aphides) from the
vegetable kingdom, but those which
are really carnivorous. These are
numerous in temperate climates, and
their usefulness to agriculture and syl-
viculture is incontestable. Thus the
field ant is great insect destroyer.
A nest OF this species is capable Of
destroying as many as 2S caterplllars
and grasshoppers a minute, or 1000
an hour, and such a colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the ARID plains Of Amer
ica the benefcent work of ants is re-
vealed in the isles of verdure around
their hills.
There are plants hospitable to ants
which furnish them shelter and often
food, within the cavities of which the
instincts Of the ants prompt them to
take their abode. This is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile
grounds of which bear hectares on
their lower face and are, moreover, OF
a shape favorable to helterlng the
insect.-Prof. M. Helm In P1pnLa,

A family T ait.

A phase of rural character that is
not uncommon was Illustrated by a
farmer who called upon his lawyer the
other day. He belongs to one Of
those families who have lived near the
city for years, selling everything they
produce at good home market and
saving some money in even the dull
est times. He had brought in some
things that he thought his lawyer
might want at the house, and for 20
minutes haggled over a cent or two
on the price of eggs and butter. When
the farmer saw that the deal was like
ly to go against him, he induced the
lawyer to throw in half box of steel
pens, and the trade was made.
Then the client told about horse
dicker he had with neighbor, claim
ing that he had got about SIS the
worst of it. This was the law bust
ness he had, and after another hours
talk he concluded to offer a COM
promise at $a.5o, and if that was
refused to sue, though the lawyer ad-
vised against it.
AS the farmer was about to leave
the lawyer inquired about $40, 900
mortgage owned by his client.
"Hain't had no interest on it for
four years." was the reply, "but l
cackerlate it's all right. The lands
worth the money, and l s'pose I'll git
it some time"
"There you have it," said the lawyer
in telling of the affair. 81 guess it's
heredity. This man is just like his
father and his grandfather. Their
whole thought was to make money out
OF the farm. Like them, this man
lives close and thinks of nothing but
getting the highest possible price for
all he sells. What he lays away is to
be handed down. He'll put in half a
day selling truck and won't talk three
minutes about a $4,000 mortgage
that isn't paying interest. ."-DerOil

JUDGE ARCHIBALD DECIDES AN ASSESS
MENT ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Judge Archibald handed down a
decision at Scranton recently which
declares the Act OF 1895 relating
to the assessment and collection of
t~xes to be unconstitutional. He
s.ys the act contravenes the munich
pal act of 1889, and that in doing so
it created legislation that is vicious
in principle, giving to Boards Of As
SCISSORS and Boards of Revision and
Appeal power that places the pro
perty owner at their mercy in the
matter of tax assessments, and under
took to overthrow the principle of
triennial assessments.
The decision of Judge Archibald
was based on the appeal Of Joseph
Jermyn from the increased assess
ment IN the Eighth ward of Scranton.
Its effect will tend to reduce the
assessment made in Scranton by $3,-
900, 900 this year.
The decision affects "a cities of the
third class in Pennsylvania. 1t was
brought about by an appeal to Court
of John Jermyn, the Scranton multi
millionaire coal operator, the assessed
valuation of one of whose properties
was raised from $1,000 to $I4,ooc
