A Summer Mnrtyr.

There's 4 novel that Is waiting
On shelf not far away
To be read to a conclusion
When l have the time, some day.
The heroine was charming
And the villain was a churl-
How I long to know the fortunes
That befeI that lovely girl.
I'm convint ed 'twould not be proper
When such problems grave engage
The thinkers Of the present
Fen to glance at fiction's page,
And l read debates and essays
Spurn all sentimental larks-
Though long for more love-makine
And few quotation marks.
So truly hope a tariff
May be soon decided on;
That with reference to Cuba
Something proper may be done;
Then with conscience unprotesting
/ again may turn and look
On The cherished destinations

Is ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

. Stamp collectors continue to issue
protests against unnecessary issues"
and the little republics and Kingdoms
go right along issuing them. II the col
lector would not buy the stamps the is
sue would cease Do they ever think Of
that?
The three leading stamp catalogues
for 1897 are out, and they differ con-
siderably in prices. This il to be ex-
pected, however, since dealers regulate
prices by stock they have on hand.
This creates confusion in the mind of
The amateur collector, until he discov-
crs the reason.
The biggest registered letter ever
mailed in the United States was a box
containing the testimony and exhibits
in a recent suit concerning the chloride
process of extracting gold. The post
age was $1S7. It was sent from New
York to Pretoria, South Africa. The
largest previous record was $40.
The Boston Journal says that peri

not sell them to collectors, the collect

collectors must have these stamps is
very amusing. What dreadful things
would happen if they could not get
them? Would they die?

was made known to the players of the
Wisconsin team they expressed will
ingness to play. Coach King and Man
ager Clark have not yet returned from

proposition. Captain Riordan, when
told Of the offer. said that as far as he
was concerned he was willing to play if
a satisfactory date could be arranged.
He said that if the offer was bona tide
he saw no reason why the teams should
not meet again this year. He felt that
another contest would rebound to the

New YORK, Nov. 16.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington says:
Important advices are expected from
Consul General Lee in Havana this
week. By this time it is thought some
idea should be had as to whether Gen,
eral Blanco's policy is causing improves
ment in the condition of the starving
reconcentradoes. The prospects of ne
gotiations between the Spanish author
tiles and the insurgents may also be
determined by the presence of General
Lee. The insurgent leaders have al
ready stated Enthusiastically that they
will not accept autonomy, nevertheless
an intimation has been thrown out that
General Gomez and his associates in
the field were waiting an opportunity
to communicate with the representa-
tives of the United States. Their idea
is to make known
Through the Consul General
their desire to have the ULited States
act as intermediary with Spain in ar
ranging the terms of peace, but peace
on the basis of independence. No spe.
cial instructions were given General
Lee as full confidence is felt in his dis
erection. A proposition from the insur.
gents for mediation by the United
States on the basis suggested might be
transmitted to Washington but it
would hardly go further. The feeling
based on pretty accurate information is
that before long both the Sagasta min
istry and the insurgents will be avail
ing themselves Of the good Offices Of
this country, though just how this will
come about is uncertain. Some san
guine officials predict peace within
| three months.

AN ACT OF CHIVALRY.
Incident in the Cuban War in Sharp Con
trast With the Ordinary.

Incident in the Cuban War in Sharp Con-
trast With the Ordinary.
HAVANA, Nov. 16.-The chivalry Of a
Cuban leader, Juan Delgado, has H.
lumined this earbarous war.
Delgado and his forces had a hard
fight with the Spanish regulars in the
Hanore hills near Managua. In bril-
liant charge and after hand-to-hand
battling Delgado captured a Spanish
captain and ID soldiers. Most of them
were severely wounded by machetes.
While Weyler was here scores of wound
ed Cubans were stabbed to death with
bayonets or shot to death as they lay
on the field.
It Jared differently with Delgado' s
prisoners. His surgeons were not too
busy with their own wounded to dress
the wounds of their enemies. Then,
while the fight was still raging, Del
gado hoisted a flag of truce and
under it returned to their COM
mander the Is men with their
wounds staunched, and they had a
chance for their lives. The splendid
chivalry of this action touched the Span
ish general, who retired, sending word
back to Delgado by the wounded men s
ESCORT II will fight no longer today
with an enemy who has treated wound
ed Spanish soldiers so nobly."
Alexandra Rodriguez, the Cuban
leader, macheted 80 Spanish guerillas
near San Filipe. Strong forces were
sent after Rodriguez It is now an.
nounced triumphantly and officially
that the Spaniards killed 20 of Rodri-
guez' soldiers near Managua on Nov. II.
