Observation-Disclosures

THE original cause of Digby Sulli-
vans quarrel with his wife was
Lottie LIE Marchant, but the effect of
friend, Desserte, who first took him
behind the scenes at the Frivolity, and
he was the real mover in the affair
which ended in Lottie's husband get
ting a degree nisi. But Lottie had
large capacities. She was quite ready
to absorb Digby Sullivan as well as
Desserte, and for time she really did
succeed in making him somewhat of
fool. Sullivan, however, only dabbled
-Desserte plunged. Sullivan's wife
did not know this until afterwards. AT
the time, when the florist and the jew
eller sent in bills, which she opened in
all innocence, and when there were
names mentioned in court, Sybil natu-
rally jumped to conclusions, and went
and stayed with her sister-in-law for
an indefinite visit. Fortunately the
latter was an astute woman.
Digby only tried to explain matters
once, and then he got furious, went
into chambers, and looked the scandal
in the face. Three months after he be-
came a grass widower he saw that on
the whole Lottie had done him a good
turn.
Six months later his cook left, and he
took to dining at the club. After that
all the buttons came off his shirts at
once, or SO it seemed to him. Then he
swore. He could not recollect that he
had ever seen Sybil sewing at his shirts,
but she had certainly had a mysterious
influence over the buttons.
Nine months later he CHANGED to go
to the Frivolity. Lottie was not play
ing there then, but particularly at
tractive burlesque had occurred and
he foregathered with Mordaunt, of the
guards, and went to see it. Mordaunt
had already seen the piece five times,
but he bounded in his stall with excite
ment, and chuckled as at first per-
Torrance. Sullivan was family bored.
1t occurred to him that Mordaunt was
an ass, and that he had heard twin
productions to the burlesque 100 times.
1t was full house, but he designated
it as dowdy, and he was just thinking

was beautiful, but he waited with
stealthy interest to look at her until

THE BRAVE AT HOME.
We do not send them all away
Our bravest and our best

We do not send them all away
Our bravest and our best
When the battle-cry is sounding
And the eagle leaves its nest;
There are brave battalions marching.
And the heroes face the roar
OF the guns that belch their lightning
In the thunderstorm OF war.
But the brave hearts, true hearts,
The hearts that wait at home
For the news that tells of battle
On the field or on the foam,
Are the hearts that beat with courage
And the hearts whose hoping thrives.
Oh, the little lips Of loving,
And the sweethearts and the wives!
When they march away to glory,
When the flags above them wave,
When the nation sends Its greeting
To the valiant and the brave,
There are tender heroes waiting,
There are brave ones left behind.
AS the bugle's note of sorrow
Watts its music on the wind.
The brave hearts, true hearts,
With nothing left to do
But watch and wait and wonder
Till the storm and strife are through;
But their courage cheers the nation,
And 1t crowns the tender lives
OF the little lips of loving
And the sweethearts and the wivesl
IT'S a woman's way to struggle
In the silence Of her grief;
IT'S the child-heart's tender habit
In her dreamland make-belief-
To behold the days with courage
And to live throughout the night
With a tender word of hoping
For the breaking of the light.
The brave hearts, true hearts,
The soldier leaves to weep,
AS he takes the weary journey
Down the valley Ger the deep,
Are the hearts at home so gentle,
Bound in sorrows unseen gives
The little lips of loving,
And the sweethearts and the wives!
All, the little lips of loving.
The little lips that be
So ripe with red-rose laughter
And so innocent with glee!
All, the hearts of sweethearts, hoping
Till the dawn shall bring the light.
The wives that wait the echoes
From the fields where heroes fightl
The brave hearts, true hearts,
They are not all away
For some are left to wonder
And to watch afar the fray;
And the heroes left behind,
Noble hearts and noble lives
The little lips of loving,
And the sweethearts and the wives!

there has not been a case of yellow fever
in Santiago city during the last sixty
days,and that the ordinary sickness during
the same period has been 90 per cent. less

people have been unnecessarily frightened

asks that hereafter ell applicants to the
various societies for aid be referred to

does not wish to be understood as saying
that no private assistance is wanted for
Santiago. On the contrary, much will be
needed, though the present supply is am-

Beaver Dam, Wis, Nov. adam Ham
mer of this city became suddenly insane
to-day, and, securing a gun, wounded
nine men, and was finally shot himself
to prevent him doing further injury.
Hammer was employed in the machine
shops of the j. s. Rowell Manufacturing
Company. He was a good worker, but at
times had spells of supposed insanity, the
result, it is said, of religious excitement.
His peculiar ways made him the butt of
practical jokes. To-day some one placed
tacks on a stool where he worked, and
this angered him. He left the shop went
to a hardware store, where he rented q
shotgun, with twenty-five shells, and,
taking up his position south of the main
building Of the plant, kept every one at
bay for over an hour, and shooting sew

killing him. Tibbets shot Hammer in the
right shoulder with a 32-caliber rife, when
he dropped. He was quickly arrested by
the marshal and taken to the lookup
where his wounds were dressed. 1t was
found not to be serious.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The French papers derive
their news of the work of the peace com
mission from Spanish sources, and. there
fore, the morning papers here to-day are
interesting as indicating the atmosphere
in Spanish quarters and the trend OF
French views and tendencies. It must be
recalled that the Spaniards have utterly
accepted the refusal of the United States
government to assume any Of the Spanish
debt, and the Cuban question has been
set away to wait Its place In the final
treaty, providing differences on the ques-
tion of the Philippine Islands shall not
prevent the making of any treaty. AS the

MOVEMENT OF GEN. LEES MEN
NO CHANGE MADE IN THE PLANS
OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Con. Lee Recommended the Move
ment to Cuba Not Earlier Than
Nov. 10 in Order TO Escape Fever.
TrooDs Not Desired in Cuba Until
n short Time Before the Spaniards
Evacuate-COI. Warnings Death
Had No Bearing ON the Matter.
Washington, Nov. 1.-There has been a
change in the plans of the war department
respecting the sending of troops to Cuba.
No date has ever been fixed when the
troops shall depart.
The only thing that has been determined
upon is that the control of the island shall
mass TO the United States on Jan. l.
Attempts to make it appear that the
death of Col. W-aring from yellow fever
has changed the plans of the department
are without basis.
When Gen. Lee was in Washington the
earliest date he recommended for sending
troops to Cyba was Nov. 10, and he did
this with several reservations, suggesting
that only a small number be sent and to
particular places where there was little
danger of disease and fever. .
With view 10 making dIIdlSeIleHts
for the troops a board of officers was sent
TO Cuba to select camp sites and ascertain
what was needed for the troops. The
principal officers of this board, Coils. Heck
er and Lee, have been ordered to Wash
ington, and their reports will be carefully
considered before any troops are sent TO
the island.
The war department, moreover, does not
wish to have any conflict with the Span
ish troops, as to occupation of towns and,
therefore, desires 10 send the United
States troops into Cuba only short time
before the Spanish troops avacuate.
owing to climatic conditions, the Uni
ted States has not been pressing for i'm
mediate evacuation, requiring only that
reasonable progress should be made by
the Spanish authorities.

New York, Nov. Richard Croker, at
the Democratic club tonight, made a
fierce attack on Col. Roosevelt for things
he did and other things that were not done
while he was president of the police board
Leading up to his most vigorous state
meuts, in which he assailed Col. Roose-
welt for devoting himself 10 minor crimes,
while murders went unavenged, he re-
minded Frank Moss that the former police
commissioner might better talk of a legacy
of UNPUBLISHED crime than about a wide
open" city, which. the Tammany leader
says, does not exist.
Il believe" said Mr.. Croker, that Frank
Moss succeeded Theodore Roosevelt as
president of the police board. He. there
fore, should be familiar with the legacy
of unpunshed crimes that were bequeath-
ed him. He talks of "wlde-open" New
York. I would like TO direct his attention
to the New York of Roosevelts day and
his own with which he seems to be an
familiar. He seems to have forgotten that

During the time Theodore Roosevelt

committed and the murderers escaped.
Mr.. Roosevelt was responsible for the
splendid record made by the police in The
capture of men who sold soda water on
Sunday. He used infants as stool pig
cons.
1T was Roosevelt who made 1t possible
for murder TO be committed ard go un-
punished. One of the first things he did
was to demoralize the detective bureau so
thoroughly that it was made absolutely
helpless"
Mr.. Croker then went into the details
of the nineteen unpunished murderers re-
ferred to by him.

TERESA THOUGHT TO BIC SAFE.
Calculations Put Her BEYOND the
Reach of the Cyclone.

Calculations Put Her beyond the
Reach of The Cyclone.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The navy depart
ment Is under no apprehension as to The
safety of the Maria Teresa, although some
fear has been expressed In the Santiago
dispatches that the vessel, along with her
consorts. the Vulcan and Leonidas, have
fallen into the sphere Of West Indian cy-
clone. The Teresa passed Cape Maya az
the eastern extremity of Cuba, early ycs-
terday morning bound for Hampton Roads
and signalled that all were well and that
her machinery was working smoothly.
BY this time, according to the calcula-
tions OF the naval officers, she should be
well on toward the Bahamas, keeping to
the eastward and away from the Flor
ida coast. Meanwhile the weather bureau
report to the navy department. shows that
a cyclone is forming to the southwest of
Havana, which. probably, VIII come up
the southwest coast Of Florida, and " this
prediction is true. the warship would be
well away from the pathway of the cy-
clone-at least 1000 miles, according 70 the
calculations.
The latest calculation made al the de-
partment Is that the Teresa win arrive in
Hampton Roads next Sunday afternoon.
Presuming that she has no fever aboard,
she probably will come up to the Norfolk
navy yard for survey.
Whether the repairs recommended by
that board will be made at the same navy
yard or not, will depend largely upon the
report OF the board and upon the recon-
mendations OF Chief Constructor Hichborn,
but the probabilities are that the work
will be done in Norfolk
