AN IMMIGRATION CASE.

An interesting case has arisen hers in
which the right OF the government to de-
pert an immigrant after having permitted
him TO land will be tested.
On October 4. 1897, the steamship Iauen.

that the Murderer Was Not

Brennan. Texas. May 2s.--The news
that stay OF execution had been granted
Charles Kugadt did not have time to reach

To those who had read The Post the ex-

the story OF Just how the stay OF execu-

There was great disappointment among
the oolorcd population, some OF whom rode
twenty miles to see the execution. Hut
these mutterings were not alone confined
to negroes. In fact, so much talk became
current that II alarmed the sheriff and he
called on Captain Hen Schmid OF the Bren-
ham Field Artillery TO hold the company in
readiness TO protect the prisoner in case
the talk resulted In any overt act looking
to disregard OF law in the execution
The company was summoned 10 report

In Saxtons River, July 26, to Mr.. and Mrs
G. F. Simonds, a son.

munltion and many otners-aIr OF unem
rooted in the one idea that you must
preserve your own life by destroying
that of your enemy.
AS soon as an officer returns to the
wardroom from one drill and begins
conversation or perhaps huns q song he
is interrupted by the bugles on deck and
must buckle ON his sword and return to
another drill.
AT every call to quarters all officers
must report themselves ready for duty.
The chaplain and paymaster, having
much less to do with drills than the
other officers, are usually the first to- be-
back in the wardroom, where there is
other work for them. The medical off
Ger has gone forward to the sick bay to
look after his patients
When the midday breakfast comes
there is the first breathing space for
little leisure and relaxation. But the
drills for the day are not yet over and
at l O'Clock the hustle is resumed
throughout the ship. A sudden call may
come for collision drill, or fire drill, or
battalion drill. If at sea, a floating tar
get may be dropped overheard, and for
an hour the ship be shaken from stem
to storm by the discharge Of guns. From
3 to 5 O'Clock IN the afternoon there is
generally a respite from work, and the
wardroom begins to show signs of be-
| ing home. Some in it are reading or
writing, others are smoking or playing
games or loafng. Still others are in
their rooms taking the seaman S after
noon nap But at O'Clock the drills
and exercises come again.
| By 6: 80 O'Clock there is feeling that
one can sit down and dine without fear
of interruption. The mess as whole is
now gathered together, and the meal is
generally a thoroughly enjoyable and
delightful affair After it is over there
are cigars, games, music, or the right to
withdraw within oneself without ex-
citing remark. By 10 O'Clock most of
these sailors are in bed, but even now
the drills may not be over. Atmidnight
the bugles may sound, and in two min
utes all the ships company be rapidly
making ready for an enemy.-New
York Post.

Living In Manila.

Living in Manila, says Joseph Earle
Stevens in McClure's Magazine, is dirt
cheap-if you are not fond of timed
peas and asparagus, that come from,
France and Germany.
"Our cook got 40 cents per diem to
supply our table with an entire dinner
for four people, and for cents extra he
would decorate the cloth with orchids
and put peas in the soup. AS servant,
the native liz satisfactory if you have
enough of him. He takes bossing well,
and you can punch his head if things go
wrong In fact, he rather expects it
than otherwise and does not put his
arms akimbo and march out of the house
when you mildly suggest that the quail
ity of ants in the cake was not up to
standard. For ants are everywhere, and
unless the legs of your dining table and
cook stove stand in cups OF kerosene, the
ants will be apt to eat the dinner be-
fore you do.
"For wages, these boys-and they are
called boys till they die-get some 81 a
month, and ON this salary my own serv-
ant paid 10 per cent to the government,
supported wife and two children,
bought all his own food and ran a fight
ing cock. I don't know how much he
stole, but he used sometimes to call on
me for an advance, saying that he need
ed funds to bury some relative. At first
was touched at his loss, but later on,
when he tried to bury his mother twice
over, found it necessary to keep rec
ord of the family tree in order not to be
led into paying an advance on the cost
of two funerals for the same person.

Perspiration.

Some interesting investigations have
been made in the matter of perspira-
tion, and the following conclusions have
been arrived at: The perspiration is
more concentrated on the right side of
the body. 1t would, by the way, be in
teresting to know whether the opposite
was the case in the left handed. The
palm of the hand sweats times more
than the skin of the chest, and the
cheeks ~ times as much. There is a
slow increase in the sweat in the after
Moons, especially noticeabi from s to
10 O'Clock at night. After midnight
there is diminution. Feeding has but
little influence on this function. Eleva-
tion of the surrounding temperature in
creases the perspiration. New York
Ledger.

ment.
The general orders for the several COM
panies are as follows:

another alarm come from any other box,
companies not employed will answer the
alarm.
The companies on arriving at fires must
report to the chief engineer or his assist

BANKRUPTCY BILL PASSED.

Military Matters.

Washington, June 2S.-In the house
today the conference report on the
bankruptcy bill was adopted by a vote
of 1874 to 80, and the measure will go

Speeches in opposition to the reported

unanimous consent for disagreement

A SECOND DISH.
Proved Too Much For Actual Need
and Showed the Value of
Condensed Food.

when the new food was first placed
in my store I took a package home to
try. The name, Grape Nuts had at
tracted my attention, and the state
ment that it was partly composed of
grape-sugar excited my interest, as we
all know that grape-sugar, made by
certain methods Of treating the ce-
reals, is one of the most nourishing
and digestible articles that can be
eaten.
Il rather expected to like the food,
but was not expecting that the children
would take so kindly to it. Each one of
the little folks, however, passed up the
saucer for a second supply, and so
did /.
1T is a delicious novelty and very
grateful to the palate. l found, about
midway in my second DISH that / had
sufficient for meal and realized for
the first time that 1 was eating a con-
densed food that supplies ones wants
with a few spoonsful and does not re-
quire anything like the volume TO fur
nish the amount of food required, as
when any of the ordinary forms of ce-
reals are served. Grape-Nuts are an
elegant food, and the Postum Cereal
Co., Linn. are to be congratulated upon
the discovery" said M C. Goossen, the
well known fancy grocer of Grand
Rapids.

PASSING OF THE TORPEDO BOAT
CAPTAIN sIGSBEE DISABLEs 4
DESTROYER.
Killed Several Men On the Terror and
Sent the Boat Back In Disabled
Condition.

Washington, June 2s.-The navy de-
partment today posted the following
bulletin:
Admiral Sampson reports that the
Yale arrived yesterday, and discharged
her troops.
Captain Sigsbee reports that on
Wednesday afternoon, while off San
Juan de Porto Rico, he was attacked
by Spanish unprotected cruiser and
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror. The Terror made q dash, which
was awaited by the st. Paul. The st.
Paul hit the Terror three times, killing
one officer and two men, and wound
ing several others.
The Terror dropped back under
cover of the Notifications with diff
Guilty, and was towed into the harbor
in a sinking condition. where she is
now being repaired. Later a cruiser
and gunbCat started out. but re-
NAMED under protection of the forts"
In defeating the Terror, Captain Sigs-
bee has rendered most important SER
vice to our navy, and, indeed, to all
RAVES. He has not only deprived
SIMPSONS fleet of apprehension of an
attack in the rear some dark night by
this vicious little boat, but he has
demonstrated that an auxiliary cruiser
is amply able to take care of herself
against torpedo gunboat, showing
that the offensive power of this craft
has been very much overrated. The
torpedo gunboat was an untried GUAM
tity in naval warfare up to this time.
Swifter than the torpedo boats sea-
worthy and possessed of the armament
of which the torpedo boat is void. the
torpedo gpnboat has been a terror in
to all naval men. Now
Captain Sigsbee has shown that with
an unarmored cruiser, armed with only
5-inch guns, the torpedo gunboat
should not be feared, at least not in
daylight.
