FITZPATRICK's CAKE WALK.

John b. Fitzpatrick went home last night
very drunk. he made Fletcher street n
pretty lively spot for a time. His hilarity
was directed to the abuse Of his wife and his
neighbors. A bold bad man from ths Klon-
dixie was not in it v ith him for a little time,
but the single handed cign Of terror came to
an end when officers Doe and Irwin appeared
upon the scene. The officers reasoned with
Fitzpatrick, but his wife insisted on his being
removed from his home so the officers sent
him 10 the Second station. Fitzpatrick was
very noisy for a while after being locked up.

Michael Day. who lives on Lippitt street
had an unpleasant experience down town
yesterday afternoon. He visited IA barroom,
where presumably he was IN ugly and dis
agreeable customer, and bottle WAS used on
the side Of his face. His wife sent word To
the officer on the beat that her husband was
drunk and must be taken out CT her home.
The officer called on To- make the arrest aaw
that Days face was in bad condition but
there could be no doubt he was drunk 80 the
request OF Mrs. Day had to be complied with
and the patrol was summoned. Many hours
elapsed after Day was looked up before Lieut..
Murray and other officers at the station
deemed il wise TO keep close watch over
Day. His ounds which had been stitched
by down town doctor required constant
bathing to stanch the almost constant flow of
blood. Toward morning the mans condition
grow better and there was no return of a
fainting ht he had had early in tho evening.
Bay would not tell where he got his injuries
or who was responsible for them.

DIR. VANDERsLICE IN ExTREMIs.
The Beloved Minister Thought to BE
Rapidly Nearing His End.

Rev. DR. George c. Vanderslice, the be
loved pastor of Union-Station Methodist
Episcopal church, of this city, who has
been i'll at his home, No. 7l6 north
Twenty-fourth street, for the past three
weeks is now in extremis, and his death
is hourly expected.
DR.. Vanderslice was stricken with what
appeared to be pleurisy while in atten-
dance on the Methodist Ministers Con-
ference, on the 2lst of February. His all
ment developed into pneumonia, and he
was dangerously i'll for some time. He
began to improve about ten days ago,
however, and he entirely recovered from
the pneumonia. A stiffness in his limbs
kept him in bed, but he grew better,
Notwithstanding this, and Tuesday ex-
pressed a desire to dress. His physician
advised against this and yesterday morn
ing at an early hour the esteemed minis
ter was stricken with cerebro spinal men,
nights.
He lost entire consciousness and has re-
NAMED in that condition ever since. His
sons, Or. George X. Vanderslice and Mr..
Sam z. Vanderslice, and his two mar
ried daughters, who live away from Rich
mond. nave been summoned to their
fathers bedside, and the end is not
thought to be far off.

CUBA NOT FOR SALE.
If n Fresh Spanish Loan Were Need
ed Ii Could BE Obtained.

MADRID, March ia semi-ofcial
agency to-day published the following
announcement:
ut is useless to talk of the sale of
Cuba. The question could not be ar
ranged except by Parliament, and it is
impossible that any Spanish chamber
would agree TO sell the island at any
price"
The financial press comments upon the
facility with which Spain has supported
the heavy financial burdens incurred on
account Of the Instructions in Cuba and
the Philippine Islands, and points out
that although, since Senior Segasta has
been Premier. the cost of the wars has
exceed SOO.OOOOOO pesetas G5S. 100000. the
note circulation of the Bank of Spain
has only increased from 1174926,3O6 to
]. 259, $50 $50 pesetas. Upon this showing
the press asserts that no one doubts that
if a fresh loan should be required il
could be raised as easily as was the loan
Of a year ago.
FL Heraldo, in a very conciliatory arti-
Gle supposed in official circles TO be in
spired after pooh-poohing the Fiction
that Spain desires TO provoke war"
says: IF the United States really wishes
peace, and Spain is resolved TO maintain
it. let each go halfway, and the pacifica-
tion of Cuba and the tranquility of
Europe will be accomplished"

Springfield Republican,
He told the story first himself-toid Il TO
his chum,
And made him promise he would keep
the dumbest kind Of num-
For fear some bold reporter, beyond the
reach Of grace,
Would use morsel Of the joke TO fattcn
up his space
Then an the other fellows would laugh
aloud and shout,
No, he wouldn't for trip to Mars, have
the papers let it out.
Now Chummie was a sober lad, but
Chummie had a girl
Around whose little finger he was often
made 10 twirl;
And when ere long they CHANGED 20 meet
within quiet nook,
The tree of secrets in his heart the
maiden gently shook,
And though the tale OF which / speak fell
softly on her car.
II rolled off like the cannon boom, which
all the town can hear.
OF all the many wonders, the greatest, I
declare,
Is the vibratory power which gossip has
on air!
The damsel said some other girl IN,
story might repeat,
But she. Of course. would never do a
thing so indiScreet.
And then she lost but little time IN telling
IL to ma.
And mamma lost no time at all in telling
IL TO pa,
And papa told young Harry Jones and
Jones told Betsey Brooks,
And Betsey told her husbands niece who
soon told Reuben Shocks,
And Reuben told Miss Kate De MHrr
and Kate told Mrs Hodge.
Who straightway told her brother B'lL
and Bin told Or. Dodge
Thus, on and on, the story Went nor
stayed its fearful run.
SO strange. when no one told the tale
except il may be one.
But, OH the size and strength u gained,
as hastily II tripped
From tongue 10 tongue, through teeth
and lips which never shipped or
clipped.
Distortion having done its work, the pe0-
pie rose I'm wrath
And vowed the monster gulsed a7 man
should no more walk their path.
Meantime this man who feared the Press
began 10 feel the chill
Which comes before social storm anu
threatens eyry Ill;
The darkness gathered overhead ana
made his cherished name
Far blacker than though printers ink
had lightly touched the same,
And. knowing that the cloud mad grown
from just tiny Heck
He felt that something must be done IN
time 10 save his neck;
So then unto the editor he took a llFey
sprint
And begged OF him to put the facts-ths
simple truth-in print.

A Good-Roads Court.
providence Journal)

A Maryland judge has decided that n
town ordinance prohibiting the riding Of
wheels on sidewalks when the streets are
impossible Is not effective. The rider
who was arrested turned on the sidewalk
to avoid an exceptionally bad place in
the roadway. and. although he rode
distance of only % feet on forbidden
ground. a warrant was issued. The evil
dence showed that a wheel could not
be pushed through the mud hole, and
the Court In dismissng the case ruled
that under such conditions riders and
drivers were justified In trespassing on
private property. 1t is possible that
the higher courts may not sustain so
liberal a ruling. but its reversal will not
deprive the Judge OF the lower court OF
his reputation for common sense
