HAVANA CUSTOMS,

Women do not go to funerals
in Cuba, and tho funeral process
sion, unless the deceased is Of
an important family, strikes a
trot whenever it comes to a good
stretch of road. The poor do not
hire hearses, but the coffin is
carried on the shoulders Of four
men. ....
Lottery tickets are hawked
about the streets here as much
as newspapers. The smallest
priced ticket is 80 cents, and five
cents extra must be paid to the
vender. This is considered an
equivalent for saving the buyer
trip to tho lottery Office.
There are no saloons in Hav-
ana. Liquors are sold in the
cafes along with milk, coffee,
cakes, ice cream and lunches.
When o Spaniard enters a
theater in Havana he puffs away
at his cigarette until after he

lated by Mark Twain. tits about
} a Scotch Irish minister who
thought he was called to preach
, the Gospel, while he knew that he
} had the gift of oratory, and he
never missed an opportunity to
display it. An opportunity was
afforded on the occasion of a
, christening. There was a con-
siderable audience, made up Of
the relatives, friends and neigh
, bors of the parents, The preach
er began by saying:
We have met together, my
friends, on very Interesting &C.
casion-the christening of this
little child-blt | see already a
look Of disappointment on your
faces. 1t is because this infanti is
so small. We must bear in mind
that this globe upon which we
live is made up of small things,
infinite small objects, me might
say. L title drops of water make
the mighty ocean; the mountains
which rear their hoary heads
toward heaven and are often lest
J in the clouds are made up of little
grains Of sand. Besides. my
, friends, we must take into con-
sideration the possibilities in the
life of this little speck of human

preacher, multitudes may be
,, swayed by his eloquence and
brought to see and believe in the
truths of the Gospel. He may
become a distinguished physician
and his fame as a healer of men
may reach the uttermost parts of
the earth, and his name 60 down
} to posterity as one of the great
! benefactors of humanity. He
!, may become a great astronomer
and read the heavens as an open
book. He may discover new
stars which may be coupled with
that Of Newton and many other
great discoveries. He may be-
come a distinguished statesman
and orator, and by the strength
of his intellect and eloquence he
may control the destinies of ma
tions and his name be engraved
upon monuments erected te per-
petuate his memory by his admir-
ing and grateful countrymen.
He may become an author and a
poet, and his name may yet ap-
pear among those not entJmbed
at Westminster. He may be-
come a great warrior and lead
armies to battle and victory; his
prowess and valor may change
the map of Europe. Methinks |

THE lRiSHMAN'S WAY,

IN the northwestern part of
Kentucky there lives an Irish
magistrate a man Of liberal edu-
ca'ion and full quota of genuine
Irish wit. A short time ago Jim
and Bet, a colored pair called
upon the squire to be united 'for
better Or worse" The squire
having been notified Of their COM
ing, prepared and actually used
the following cermony: }
"Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and cherish
Until one of you perish,
And is laid under the sod?
So Help you God"
All of which being answered in
the affirmative by Jim, the squire
turned to Bet and said:
"Bet, will you take jim,
And cling TO him, ...
Both out and in, ...
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part?"
Bet acquiesced in a modest
hew of the head, and then the
happy pair were dismissed as
follows:
"Thro lifo's alternate joy and
strife,
| now pronounce you man and
wife,
Go up the life's hill till you get
to the level,
And salute your bride, you old
black devil" r u.

The place presents a most are introduced to nearly all the charac- ters of the play, of whom probably Jess Harnden Caleb, Norman Ross, Captain Bradley Adams, Major Rolfe Welden, Captain George Dinsmore and Cora CuStiS Lee figure most in the telling of the story.
 The plot has for it's pivotal point the love of Norman Ross for the little Ntr- ginia wildflower. Jess" a girl with the world before her" who is also loved by Rolfe Weldon. During the course of the story we are given an opportunity to many hardships through which she goes to save his life lend most romantic feature to the plot. Caleb, an ex-chattel, has been utilized by the author to fur nish some of the stronger scenes, and also does much in the working out of the comedy element of which a deal also falls to Lieutenant Hatch, the little sol dier. Among the very dramatic scenes are the effort of Jess to prevent Weldon from touching the electric button at

Manager T. Daniel Frawley announces that during the remainder of his com pany's season, of which there will be eight weeks, he will limit each presenta- ton to one weeks time. Notwithstand- ing this fact, he has gone to very heavy expense for the production of "A Gallant Surrender" at the Columbia to-morrow night. The play was written for MT Frawley by Edward [. Kidder. well known as the author of "A Poor Rela- tlOn," which brought Sol Smith Russell into prominence, as well as other works.
 The new drama deals with incidents during the last few days of the Civil War There are about twenty speaking parts and FraWley has made some special en, gagements so as to bring out all that is best even in the smallest of roles The production will call for the appearance of nearly ninety people on the stage and the rehearsals under the direction of Fred Williams are progressing splendidly, and give promise of a perfect production The scene of the play Is laid along the James
