A MuRMUR FROM MUpvILLs.

There's been the dingdest earthquate in
what's called our social status;

We have plenty faith in beauty, but we have
no place to pin It,
For the gals make no coneealment OF the
fact that we amt in 1t

Wetook these gals to picnics, and we showed
'em much attention,
And they cheerfully attended eV'ry dance

But there's something seems to whisper to

OF course we don't belttle all the yarns

How they stormcd the hills OF Cuba with

What is probably the most radical
departure from the old system of trial
by Jury Is under test in Louisiana.
The change is by authority OF the re.
cent Constitutional Convention in the
State. = That body, in addition to Other
remarkable acts, provided that in
criminal cases where the punishment
may not be Imprisonment at hard labor
the trial may be by the judge, without
q jury; if the punishment may be i'm
prisonment at hard labor, the case
must be tried by jury of FIVE; and il
the punishment must be hard labor.
then the jury shall consist of twelve.
the concurrence OF niue OF whom is
sufficient for O verdict. AS explained
by ayLouisiana paper, the purpose Of
the enactment was to get rid of the
delay and expense of long jury trials
and of disagreeing iuries. In this re
spect it is a success. The courts have
been able to dispose of much more
business, and at lessened cost, the re
duction in expense at single term O.
one court being $4,000. 1t remains tt
be seen, however, how the change will
affect the prisoner. On this point the
trainers Of the constitutional clause ap
peared to entertain doubts. They
made its place in the constitution tena
tive, by a provision that the Legisla
ture may change it after 1904, and re
turn to the old system if the new on,
is found not to work we'll.

NO. 4.-REMovING THE OYSTER BONE.
Place the fat of the knife against
the vertebre connecting the pope's
nose with the carcass and press the
edge in the direction of the neck OF
the bird. When the knife reaches
the place indicated by the dotted
line turn the blade, and the leverage
causes the oyster bone to fall into the
plate. After removing the oyster
bone turn the platter and remove from
the right side the wing, the leg, the
breast and the oyster bono in the
same manner as on the left side.
NO. 5.-REMovING THE wIsHDoNE.
Place the fiat of the knifc against
the breast bone, next the wishbone,
and, keeping it pressed against the
carcass, sweep it toward the neck.
This removes the wishbone.

too hungry for sentiment.
While he waited for his supper

because they were cheap and filling,
then suddenly remembering and
growing reckless, he added piece of
pumpkin pie.
While he waited he glanced side
wise at his neighbor and unconsciously
read the first lines of the soiled letter
"Dear Son: / hope you are we'll"
Again the tears filled Toms eyes
until he could not see. Just then the
waiter brought their suppers. Ex-

made Tom friendly with other boys of

VIZCAYA SAILS.

NEW YORK, Feb. rs, 1S9S.-The Vizca-
va is making preparations to sail and
will probably depart for Havana during
the afternoon. All the boats of the war
ship have been placed on the davits, and
she has been getting up steam all morn
ing. Large clouds Of thick smoke are
coming from her and she has her
anchor hove short.
The Vizcaya has only one guard about
her, the Navy tug Narkeeta, which has
been circulating about the Spanish war
ship all morning. The police patrol has
been withdrawn from the immediate
vicinity of the Vizcaya. The flag of the
warship is still at half mast.
The Vizcaya got under way at rs P.
M. and proceeded down the Bay, passing
Quarantine at 1:37 P. M. The Navy
Yard tug Nina, on guard off Tompkins-
vile, was saluted by the cruiser with
three blasts of the whistle, which were
returned by the tug. The Nina and the
police boat Patrol accompanied the
cruiser down the Bay. The Vizcaya,
when passing the Quarantine Station,
was vomiting dense black smoke from
both tunnels and rapidly left the accom-
panying tugs behind. The national
standard of Spain fioated at half mast
from a small gaff on the main mast, and
she did not salute the forts at the Mar
rows when passing out.

hLMBAOH WAS RIGHT.
Chief Ranger Sustainss Hts Action in
the UIdrfch Case.

Chief Ranger Malmback of Court
Greenville, No. 13, Foresters of Amerca,
received letter from Grand State Chan
that he (Malmback) was right in the
matter referred to him last November,
in the case of the death benefit of one
Richard Uldrlch.
Uldrich had been treasurer of this lodge,
also Sub-Chef Ranger, for eight years,
but at meeting held last July Subj Chief
Ranger White reported that U1drich was
i'll. Chief Ranger Walmbach wanted to
know if that notification came from the
sick mans family. White replied that
it had not, but that it had come from a
member.
Malmbach then declared that it was not
official and that according to the bylaws
of the lodge no member three months in
fit, but could only get $25. Within the ex-
piration of thirty days after the three
months, however, the member being re-
ported sick by the family, the court may
restore him to good financial standing so
that the family will receive the 800 death
benefit, otherwise they would only get $25.
Uldrich died within that 80 day period
and Malmbach ruled that as no official
was only entitled to $25 Mrs Uldrieh
threatened to sue, and the matter was re-
ferred to District Deputy O'Donnell, who
decided that the notice was official and
the 500 was paid to Mrs. Uldrich.
Malmbach was sure he was right in the
matter, and he wrote to Grand Chancellor
Carlos about it, explaining the case fully.
Malmbach says he is now vindicated and
that the State official has decided his way
Nothing more was done in rhe matter, and
dt was decided to let it rest as it stands.

naval establishment with particular ben
eft to the organization, but the present
is the first favorable opportunity that has
presented itself so
At the Spanish Legation despatch was
received today from General Blanco re-
ferring to commercial questions. and men
tioning incidentally that no change of any
kind had occurred In affairs at Havana.
General Blanco's latter statement, it is
believed, at the Legation. refers to the
lack of definite and trustworthy news
pending the private inquiries now being
prosecuted by the American and Spanish
authorities.
In view of this attitude of those whose
official position gives them the best op-
portunity for full information, Senior Du
Bose and his associates do not credit the
reports of discoveries tending to estab-
lish the cause of the Maine disaster.
The commercial negotiations have been
somewhat lost sight of during recent ex-
citing events, but the authorities at Ha-
vana are hopeful that these may be ex-
pedited at an early day. The Cuban
commissioners who has been named to
treat on the matter probably will come
to Washington before long, although some
delay of necessity will occur.
