I got discharged for impudence, iaziness
and general incompetency I'll tell you
how it happened. 1 was unlucky enough
one day to wait on a lady who was in
frightfully bad humor about something
and naturally she took it out on me. She
said things that made me writhe, but
held my tongue and tried to be respectful.
At last l Ventured to correct her as to the
width of a piece of silk. 1t was a perfect

for insolence. Next day another disgrun-

ed at the office that they had a clerk who
needed treatment for color blindness. That

kindly that those ladies' were valuable
customers, and, irrespective of the circum-
stances, I had lost my usefulness for the
store by offending them 1 agreed with
him. but at the same time 1 couldn't help
remembering that L had my mother 10
support and wondering whether such east
ly offended ladies ever dreamed what it
was like to need work and not have work
to do. They would be surprised, 1 dare say,
if they knew how much distress and heart
ache they brought into our little horne. But
we pulled through somehow, and now I'm
glad it happened. There was nothing
strange about my case, and lots of other
girls have had the same experience. II

much harm a thoughless word will some
times do 1 think, perhaps, they would be

Hnrnnn.s Starving PeorIe.

The reports received from Havana show
that there is a pitiable condition of al
fairs there. IL IS said that fully one-third
of the people are dependent upon charity
for sufficient food to prevent them from
starving The death rate is extraordinari-
~ high And the people are not dying
from disease, because there is but little
yellow fever or smallpox in The city. They
are dying from starvation. The municipal
authorities are doing something towards
relieving the suffering, but the food they
distribute is mainly a soup which contains
but little nutriment Still, it is the best
that the poverty stricken people can get,
and it viii probably be sufficient to keep
the most of them alive until conditions can
be changed by our government.
The sufferers are not confined to the
lower classes of the people People who
before the outbreak of hostihdes, were
regarded as being in good circumstances
are among the visitors at the municipal
soup houses. The reconcentrados. about
whom so much was said Just before the
outbreak of the war; have wholly disap-
peared. The understanding is that they
have all starved to death There We're
about five thousand of them in and around
Havana, but none are to be seen now.
And strange as it may seem, the Span
ish authorities throw obstacles in the way
of the city being provided with food sup
plies that would be sold at reasonably low
prices. The war tariff, which was sus-
pended during the blockade, has been re-
Vived, and, in consequence, there are ship
loads of provisions in the harbor which
are not being un.oaded, because they can
not be sold at a profit after paying the
enormous tariff tax demanded by the
Spanish officials. In fact, as noted in our
dispatches a day or two ago, the author
tiles would not permit the Red Cross sup
plies, which We're intended for free distri-
button, to be unloaded unless heavy fine
were paid, because the vessel was not pro-
vided with proper papers.
1t will not be very long. however, before
the difficulties under which the people are
now laboring will be removed. A few days
after the commission gets to work some
of the most burdensome of the evils will
no doubt be removed. The Spanish Off
Gals will make the most of the few days
remaining to them to gather In as much
gold as they can.

There is a quite general feeling of curl
osity to know what is going to be the out
come of the Mnes-Alger controversy.
There is no longer room for doubt that the
publications made by the Kansas City
Star in which Gen. Miles appears in the
role of a severe critic of the war depart
ment, were authorized by him. Assum-
ing that he has been reported correctly
it is quite certain that he will be required
to appear before a board of inquiry. That,
probably, is what he wants to do If what
he says is correct, he has some grounds
for feeling that he has been badly treated
by the war department. 1t appears TO be
clear that the Secretary of War does not
regard him with as much favor as he
does Gen. Shafter. In fact, 1t looks as
if he regarded it to be his duty to snub
him whenever an opportunity to do so
presents itself. An illustration of what
is meant is found in the secretarys re-
fusal to permit the general to parade on
Broadway, New York, with his men on
his return from Porto Rico
Gen. Miles had arranged to make dis
play that would have pleased the New
Workers greatly. He is a splendid ap-
pearing soldier and would have made a
fine impression on the public after his sue
cessful campaign in Porto Rico. Secre-
tary Alger would not permit him to make
the display that was proposed, though for
what reason is not stated.
1t is clear that the best of feeling does
not exist between the two men. The cause
of their i'll feeling will probably come to
the surface when an inquiry takes place
into Gen. Miles conduct in criticizing the
war department. An inquiry can hardly
be avoided.

The Spanish general Pando, is in a great
| hurry apparently, to get back to Spain
and tell the Spanish people what a weak
minister Sagasta is, and that Gen. Toral
should be court martialed for surrendering
at Santiago, and how much better he
could have managed if he had been in
command in Cuba or had been at the head
of the government in Spain. Gen. Pando
shows that he is a weak man by talking
so much and critczing his superiors so
freely. His assertion that there has been
no war, and that there are troops enough
in Cuba to have held the island against
any force that the United States could
have brought against it,, smacks so much
of boastiug that his assertions are not
likely to command any more respect in
Spain than they do here.
1t is no doubt, true that with the troops
that she has in Cuba, Spain could have
held out for several months longer, but
what would have been the good of pur-
suing a policy of that kind? Spain was
beaten when her navy was destroyed. The
whole world, with the exception, probably,
of Gen. Pando, saw that neither provisions
nor reinforcements could be sent to Cuba.
To resist further simply meant useless
sacrifice of life. Besides, Spain could not
borrow the money necessary for a further
prosecution of the war.
Sagasta understood the situation much
better than Gen Pando did or does. He
did what he thought was for the best in
terest of his country. He realized that
continuance of the war without any pros
pect of accomplishing anything for Spain
meant political troubles at home. When
Gen. Pando becomes acquainted with the
situation as it existed at the time of the
surrender. the chances are that he
viii criticize his superiors less free
ly, if he is the honest man he
pretends to be- OF course, if he is talking
with the view of producing a certain sort
of an impression in Spain, he will continue
to assert that Sagasta practically made
the United States a present of Cuba, Por-
10 Rico and the Ladrones.

The Note Mns Paid.

Here's another story about President
Lincoln. the truth of which was vouched
for by the late Col Jesse w. jackson,
saws the New York Sun. One afternoon
MIR. Lincoln was walking leisurely though
LAFAYETTE Square, when he noticed a
Young man who was using sulphurous
language in a manner calculated to alarm
the natives. Mr.. Lincoln stopped the
Young man and asked what the trouble
was Not knowing Mr.. Lincoln, the young
fellow said that blankety- blank clerk in
the treasury department had had HIM trot-
ting there for months to collect small
note and he couldn't get blankety-blank
cent out OF him.
''That is pretty bad" said Mr.. Lincoln,
"but I'll tell you what 1 will do. If you
will promise me to give up using pro-
fame words I will guarantee to collect the
note for you"
After a little further talk the proposition
was agreed TO. The young man produced
the note and handed it to Mr.. Lincoln,
who wrote on the back, "A. Lincoln.
When it was given to the collector and
his ewes fell on the name he unconscious
Nv mumbled. "Wcll, I'll be damned" then
cuicRiy apologized to the President, who
shook his hand cautioned him to remem-
ber the compact and resumed his after
noon stroll.
1t is needless to say that the note was
promptly liquidated when neyt presented.

1t appears from the cable dispatches that
Gen. Zurlingen thinks that by releasing
Dreyfus, the French war office might
take a short cut out of the maze of diff
cultiee with which # finds itself sur
rounded. 1t may be doubted, however, that
the French people would consent to any
such closing of the incident. They de
sire that Dreyfus shat. be punished 10 the
full extent of the law if he is guilty,
and given a full vindication if he is in
nocent; and Furthermore, they propose
that they themselves shall have the fac1s
in the case In order that they may be
assured Of the correctness of the verdict.
A full, fair and open trial is the only
thing that will satisfy French public opin-
ion, and the quicker the war office recog-
nizes that fact and acts upon it, the bet
ter it viii be for the war office.
