several customers, and declared he
could only trust the landlady to do the
necessary trimming, which he had
valnly essayed TO do himself.
She must also have exercised con
siderable skill for after the trimming
had been done the general opinion Of
the company was that the ends Of the
moustache matched perfectly.
However, the cutting failed to give
satisfaction to the owner Of the nous
tache, who, expressing his intention Of
cutting the oblgIng landlady's es-

A CHURCH BUILT by ONE PAIR OF
HANDS.

A church which is just approaching
completion in Georgia is in one partic-
ular the most remarkable in the world
1t has been built entirely by the hands
and at the cost of one man, a negro
named Andrew Bonner. This church
is the crown, as it has been the ambi-
tor of Andrews life He has for
years denied himself all but the barest
necessaries, and has accumulated his
material, literally, a nail or a brick at
time.
When his material was at last ready,
Andrew selected a suitable sight, and
without the formality of purchasing it,
or even asking permission he began
to build. For two years he has worked
almost day and night at his self-im-
posed task, and has steadily refused to
accept any assistance.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A HEARD,

The courts Of law have occasionally
some rather kn0tty questions TO dis
pose Of, one Of the latest being the val
ne of a mans beard. The fact that this
was a hairy as well as a knotty ques-
ton did not tend to lessen Its difficult
ties, which were, however, at length
overcome and a verdict arrived at
The aggrieved plaintiff was a Dur
ham miners agent, a parish councillor
and, more important still, the proud
possessor of patriarchal beard which
he had cultivated at the bidding of his
doctor for the protection of his deli
cate throat.
Maybe for the purpose Of lubricatlng
the latter organ, he one day happened
to pay visit to a neighboring hostel
ny, where some discussion arose anent
the wisdom Of submitting to the bar
barous operations of the tOnsonal art
list. The bearded councillor, with the
public spirit wlAch one would expect
to actuate such a man, favored the
company with his views upon the sub
ject, declaring that while others might
have as close a shave as they liked, he
would stick to his beard
Now, "mine host" who was evident
~ inclined to be frolicsome, determ-
ined that, as he had been treated to a
piece of the councillors mind, he would
also have a portion of his beard, the
end of which he accordingly cut off
with knife, while cutOmer held the
victims arms.
The latter was not only subjected to
this indignity, but good deal of chaff
as well, so he decided to avenge the
outrage on his hirsute adornment by
suit in the courts of law.
On the hearing of his action, he put
In a photograph showing his beard in
all its beauty and fulness before it
was so ruthlessly mutllated and al
though the Judge expressed the opin-
ion that the beard was a nice one STILL
the plaintiff was awarded f10 los. COM
pensation for the portion that had been
annexed.
A somewhat similar action was once
disposed of by an American court. As
foolish kind of lark, some young men
shaved one side of an intoxicated
comrades face and in that ludicrous
condition conveyed him home to his
parents.
When the victim discovered the prac-
teal joke that had been played on him,
he became furious with rage, and com
menced proceedings at once against
the perpetrators, who scarcely exp
ected such a move on his part.
Still less did they expect to be mulct-
ed in damages; but when the case
came up for decision the judge not on
ly ordered them to pay over to the
plaintiff n sum of 5000 as compensation
but severely reprimanded them for
their treachery in taking advantage of
their comrades helpless if discredita-
BILE condition. That was, probably, the
dearest shave in which they were ever
concerned.
Some three years ago a Hereford
gentleman scummened the landlady OF
an hotel for assault, because she ran
at him in most understandable man
ner with a pair of scissors and shipped
off his moustache." SO ran the tale Of
the complainant, but the witness fOl

Constitutional refers to the stand taken
by Spain, saying: "She does not need

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

Great war enthusiasm is reported il
all the towns and cities of Spain. A
hope prevails that the Cuban insurgents
will join the Spaniards against thu
United States. Marshal Lopez Domin
guez, in an interview, is quoted as ex
pressing confidence that the Cubanl
will take this course.
The Rome correspondent of the Lon
don Times says: The Vatican has not
yet lost hope. There is continual ex-
change of views between the pspal sec
rotary of State, Cardinal Rampolla. and
the representatives of the powers. The
Pope, it is stated, is making determined
efforts to induce Spain to submit the
question of Cuban independence to his
arbitration. Archbishop Ireland, how
ever, wires that there is little hope.
The formidable fleet, which has been
mobilizing at the Cape Verd Islands for
some days, sailed yesterday from those
islands for an unknown destination.
The New York Herald'5 Washing
ton correspondent says: Henry White,
secretary of the American embassy in
London, is here on an important mis-
sion in connection with the relations of
this government to that of Great Bri-
tain, and, it is believed, with the par
ticular relations growing out of the
present situation between this country
and Spain. There is good reason to be-
lieve that he is here with perhaps o
proposition-a sounding" is the exact
diplomatic word-for this government
from Great Britain as to new treaty,
so wide in its scope as to include not
only arbitration, but alliance under GER
tain circumstances; certainl y with moth
ing less than positive assurance of the
friendship of the British government in
the present crisis, and its willingness to
90 to any extent to prove this good
feeling.
Mgr. Satolli said in Rome yesterday
"Three years ago, in America, l fore.
saw and foretold this war as inevita
BILE, because recognized in America an
instructive gearing for new departure
in public life, and an irresistible desire
to assert national principles which
could only eliminate in war. The re-
suit is obvious, and, possibly, in a
couple OF weeks, Spain will be settled;
but then the United States will find the
hand of all Europe against them, their
line of conduct being provocative and
upjustifable. The Pope will not inter-
fere again. Arbitration is out of the
question; and Intervention, necessarily,
fruitless.
A dispatch from Paris says the South
American people sympathize with
Spain; feel affection for her as, the mo-
the- country, and suspect the motives
of the United States.
A dispatch from Rome says the powers in.
