When the night came there must
have been three dozen young folks in
the big kitchen, with Uncle Abner as
master of ceremonies, and he was
great success in that line. His knowI-
edge of auperstitions connected with
the observance of that night could not
have been surpassed by an aud Scotch
guide wife, and some of the younger
girls almost went into Mysteries over
the ghostly tests he suggested. They
were quite willing to duck for apples,

backward three times around the room

New York. Jan. ia special to the
World from Tampa, Fla, says: a school
boy of 10 years was killed in Guanabacoa
on Thursday evening by Spanish patrol
The lad smiled when the soldiers asked
him to hurrah, not cOmprehending what
they wanted. They cursed him a. Gu

squares from his home and left his body
in the street.
In the fields surrounding the city dogs
have been seen eating human flesh and
gnaWing human bones.
More than 800 people have moved from
Guanabacoa within ten days
Another large pit with dead bodies in it
was discovered Thursday near Guanaba-
Goa in thick underbrush.
Decomposition was too far advanced to
permit recognition of the bodies. 1t is
supposed these victims of Spanish cruelty
belonged to the poorer class of the sub

Sunday morning at 1880 a little quiet,

lily up the stairway leading to the story
in which the poker game was in progress
They stood opposite the door for some
time listening to the "gentlemanly'' talk
on the inside.
Then they knocked gently-the kind of
a knock which would not arouse suspic-
ion- in other words the kind of Il knock d
porter might make when he brought UP
fresh GROWER of beer. The door was un-

Cries of the Frightened Elephants
Lions and Tigers Make Fear
full Din.

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 11-Part of
the winter quarters of Barnum & Bail
ey's show was burned last night, and
there were many wild and exciting
scenes among the animals of the men
agerie. Elephants, lions, tigers, bears
and all manner of fierce and strange
beasts were taken out OF the buildings
in safety. Their cries made thrilling
din.
The fire started in one of the large
barns where were stored numerous hay
wagons, chariots and circus material of
various kinds. The flames first
consumed the storage barn and the ad-
joining sheds, where were stored the
tents, seats and baggage wagons OF the
circus. Close by stood the main build
ing of the winter quarters, wherein
were housed the animals. In a short
time the flames spread to this struc-
ture, but already the keepers were roll
and leading into places of safety the

SPORT FOR THE NAVY.
North Atlantic Squadron to Attempt
the Blockade of Charleston.

Charleston, S. C.. and vicinity are prom
ised a novel winted entertainment. Sec
rotary Herbert. after consultation with
Atlantic squadron, has decided to allow
the admiral to undertake the blockade of
Charleston.
Heretofore the squadron maneuvers
have not gone beyond target practice,
fleet evolutions signaling and landing par
ties. Gradually the exercises have been
enlarged in scope as the officers and men
gained in proficiency and became better
acquainted with the qualities of their re-
spective ships, and now Secretary Her
bert has become satisfied of the practical
bility of undertaking regular blockade
Charleston was selected as the objective
point because of the fine winter climate
and the availability of Hampton Roads
and Port Royal, S. c., as bases for the
bIockading fleet.
The fun will begin early in February,
the exact time depending upon the abil-
it,. of the navy yard people to get the
ships ready.

CUTS THE PRICE OF BEER.
Woman Saloon Keeper at Sturgis,
Ind, Sells the Beverage at Three
Gents a Glass

La Grange, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE price
of beer has gone down at Sturgis, where
Mrs. Negla, comedy woman and the
proprietress of d saloon, passes lager
over the bar for cents a glass. The
result of Mrs. Negla's shrewd bid for
patronage is a phenomenal increase in
her business, which now threatens to
work serious disadvantage to her male
competitors, while the Villager who
indulge in cOnvivial spirits are rapidly
filling Mrs. Negla's exchequer to over
&owing.
Her action bids fair to inaugurate a
beer war. Mrs. Negla is a respecter of
the law, and has also become a central
figure in prosecutions of violators of
the fish and game laws, and thus a
novel situation is presented by the Stur-
giS woman.

1T TOOK FOUR TO DOIT.
But it Doesn't Transpire That Joseph
was Very Fierce.

According to the record book at the
city Jail it took four big stout police
men to safely arrest and throw a small
man into Jail who had partaken too
freely of the flowing bowl. Saturday
evening al o'clock Joseph Kelly was
found in a drunken condition. He is
a small man who looks docile. He was
entered on the Jail record as plain
drunk and opposite his name were the
names of the following police officers
who accomplished his arrest: Sergeant
Donovan, McElroy. Bundy and Price.
In police court this morning this ter
rible man was arraigned. He was told
that he was charged with being drunk.
He stood by the judges desk, and look
ing down at his hat, which he tipped
about on his fingers, and said rather
bashfully: Il guess will plead guilty

SALT AND M'KINLEY.
Big New England Order on Account
of the Election.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Advertiser
says:
The sidings and extra switches and
tracks in the yards of the Erie railroad
in Jersey City, were being cleared of
empty cars not needed for Immediate
service today. The familiar switch en-
CINE was working at high pressure
speed to accomplish its task, and there
was a noticeable air of expectancy
among the railroad hands generally
The reason for the extra work put upon
the switch engine was the necessity for
providing temporary yard accomoda-
ton for $50 cars loaded with 5,45O,OOO
pounds of salt which left Silver Springs
N. Y, yesterday, consigned to New En-
gland firms.
This immense consignment of salt
was made in pursuance of orders given
before last election day and contingent
upon the victory of Mckinley and HO-
bart. The train, which is known as
the Worcester Salt special, is broken
up into six sections. Five of these sec
tons consist of p cars each, and the
sixth section is made up of 25 cars.
The first four sections, comprising
103 cars. arrived at Jersey City at
o'clock this afternoon. and the remain
ing sections followed at intervals of
half an hour or whereabouts.
The cars are handsomely decorated
with Vari-cOlored banners, and have
made the trip from Silver Springs with
out a hitch of any character.
To the first section of the special
train was attached a private car for
representatives of the press and ofi-
Gals Of the Worcester Salt company.
The shipment, which is said to be the
largest single consignment of salt ever
made, contains Il, 222 barrels of salt in
bags and bulk and 1914 sacks. An
idea of the magnitude of the consign-
ment may be had when it is realized
that if the barrels were placed one on
top of the other, the tOpmOst barrel
would be six miles high in the air.

CARL YROOMAN'S PLANS.
Is Here to Organize the National Blu
reau of Reform Speakers.

Carl Vrooman, the young Kansan
who formerly lived in Topeka and who
subsequently carried off the oratorical
honOrs as a representative OF Harvard
in the Yale-Harvard debates, is in To-
peka. He is here to place before the
various silver committees a plan for
uniting all the reform forces under one
banner.
The organization which Mr. Vrooman
represents was started in St. Louis i'm
mediately after the election and named
THE National Bureau of Reform Speak
ers." 1t is spreading through Mis-
souri, and it is the intention of the pro-
motors TO thoroughly organize every
state in the Union.
In speaking of the plan of the Or
ganization, Mr.. Vrooman said:
THE two main features of the plan
as formulated by our national leaders
are these: First. all workers and speak
ers are to be carefully and continuous
" instructed in the policy and plans
mapped out at headquarters, so that
their efforts may be efficacious because
Intelligent and harmonious. Second, an
exact record is kept of all the work
performed by each volunteer, and when
the principles of reform triumph in
state and nation, these records will show
who have been faithful to their present
duties and who are capable of assum-
ing greater responsibilities.
''Wm. j. Bryan is custodian of the
roll of honor on which are recorded
the names and standing of all those
who have worked steadily for a year.
'"The national bureau has appointed
me to lay these plans in full before the
different executive committees of Kan
SaS and to secure the co-Opera ton of
PopuIists, Democrats and free silver
Republicans on perfect equality, in or
ganizing and drilling an army of speak
ers and workers which in the elections
of 1898 and 1900 shall hold this state in
line with the people and reform"

RAILWAY FARMS.
Why Certain Companies Are Expert
menting in Soil Culture.
[From the Boston Globe.1

From the Boston GlObe.I
The great western railway corpora
tions are becoming more and more i'm
pressed with the fact that they have a
very large financial interest in good
farms.
A drought section means irregular
incomes and profits for the roads, and
dry years mean dry profits. So several
great roads have taken up the project
of esta blishing experimental stations or
model farms in Kansas and Neijras-
ka IN order to demonstrates the advan-
tages of the most improved methods in
soil culture. Incidentally the companies
expect returns from their investments
in increased and regular crops, necessi-
tating heavy freight and passenger
trains.
Model farms have been established at
Oberlin, Kan, and at McCOok, HOl-
dredge, Alma, and Broken Bow, Neb..
The farms consist of forty acres in
each station under the Immediate su-
pervision of practical and tried
farmer of the neighborhOOd- Each
farm will be visited frequently by one
of the learned corps of professors who
have been engaged for the purpose.
Either the government must take up
the matter of irrigation and improved
farming, or the great railways viii have
to engage in it for the protection of
their incomes in many sections of the
west. The soil will not always. yield

sui of Honduras in this city, is busy

Rebates to passengers are given by
the railways and steamship lines, as
well as on freight, and the competition
for business between the transportation
companies as the opening of the expo
sition draws near is bringing rates to
rock bottom.
