Smart Aleck's Trick.

A man held here as a witness in
the United States court pretends to
be something of perepatetic Jack
of all trades" He removed the knob
from the door of barber shop, and
next morning bright and early he
happened round" and, noticing the
missing knob, told the barber he him
self, was general tinker and could
fix it for him, especially as he knew
where there was an extra knob. The
barber caught on at once, and charged
him with taking the knob off the day
before, on purpose to get the job of
fixing it. The fellow did not deny the
accusation, and neither did he "fix"
the door for the barber.

MADRID'S CLIMATE.
As Described by Inhabitants 1t Must
Be Hard on the Human
Constitution.

Along the Mediterranean shore
Spain presents narrow ribbon of
fertile, delightful country. The re-
gion is often called "The Garden of
Spain," and its inhabitants are active
and Industrious In the province of
Valencia, from the city of the same
name to Alicante, garden follows close
upon garden. Here are grown wheat,
wine, raisins. oranges, dates and olives.
In these regions irrigation is success
fully practiced. The greater part OF
the water of the short shore coast
streams is thus employed. Little rain
falls, and what does come is dreaded
because Of the violence of the storms
and the damage done by floods to the
irrigation reservoirs.
1t is great contrast to pass from
these tropical shores of the wind
swept plains of interior Spain. The
level country, inclosed by the Quad
arrama and the Cantabrian mountains,
form in the west an extensive wheat
growing region. Toward the east, as
the rainfall decreases, pasturage en-
croaches upon arabic culture. In New
CASTLE, on the south of the Guadar-
rama and in about the center of Spain,
the political capital has been placed.
The level country in which it has been
dropped, as if by accident, is for the
most part waterless plain, swept
In winter by the piercing winds from
the naked mountains of the north,
sweltering in summer Under the ef-
feet of the suns rays on bare rock
and soil. The climate of Madrid has
been tersely described by its inhabit-.
ants as "three months of winter and
nine of hell."

Trouble at a Colored Dance.

Tom Adair was shot In the mouth
by Sylvester Chillis last night while
dance was in progress at Hicks hall
on the east side. The trouble, we
understand, arose over the smiles Of a
dusky damsel. Adair was shot
through the ear and mouth and it is
said caught the bullet in his hand.
Sylvester was promptly arrested and
placed in the holdover to await re-
suits and an Investigation by the
commissioners court. The wounded
man is not seriously hurt and the
presence OF mind displayed in catch
ing the leaden missile Is commend
able, and might be the means Of proof
that ne had really been shot.

Cattle Business.

DR.. E. Il. Frayser retu rned this
morning from St Louis where he sold
car of the "tailings" OF his herd,
averaging 900 pounds, at $3.50. He
has iu this nation only about 800 cat
tie left, 200 of which are stockers.
He has shipped 500 head this year
enough to leave him "on easy street.
land has 2S0O left. The doctor takes
somewhat OF a pessImistic view Of the
cattle business, reasoning that the
banks have too large an. interest In
too many herds and In case of small
losses viii begin to close out their
customers

THROUGH THE STRAITS.
The Experiences OF the BattIeship
Oregon Passing from the
Paciflc to the Atlantic.

Thursday, April7, the Oregon sailed.
in a dense fog, ran by the city of Val
.paraiso one night without giving the
Spanish residents q chance to carry
out any plots they might have formed,
and within nine days was OIL the
Straits Of Magellan, near Desolation
island
Entering the strait the Oregon an
chored for the night in small bay, 30
miles inside In the darkness little
fishing vessel passed not far from the
Oregon, and the Yankee sailors were
at their guns quicker than the search
light could be turned on the stranger.
At daybreak next morning she was
under way again. making 1856 miles in
II hours, with her men at the guns,
and cleared for action, ready for the
torpedo-boat-which, as a matter OF
fact, was thousands OF miles away.
At half-past six in the evening the
Oregon reached Punta Arenas (Sandy
Point, settlement devoted to selling
coal and provisions, and stopped to
coal-the men leaving their hammocks
in the nettings, and sleeping about the
decks in the short interval of their
hard work. Tho Marietta arrived
next day with dispatches she had
brought from Valparaiso. These
dispatches showed that matters we're
coming to waIlike situation, and
whenever stranger vessel appeared
thereafter, the sailors at once went
TO the guns, ready for trouble.
At daylight on Thursday, April 21,
the anchor was -aised and under light
forced draught the battleship started
through the strait, always on the keen
lookout for the tiny torpedo-boat that
was supposed to be lurking there like
a coiled rattlesneke in a path.
At the narrowest point, called the
English Narrows, the channel is but
half mile wide; and here the speed
was reduced, and the sailors peered
about for the. treacherous little foe
the only thing battleship breads.
The scenery in the strait was su-
perb--lofty snow-covered mountains,
great glaciers coming to the waters
edge, and inlets opening here and
there.
Once in the Atlantic ocean the great
vessel gladly swung around and
pointed her prov toward home-and
Cuba, AS yet the people on board knew
nothing of what was going on between
America and Spain. They met two
merchant steamers, but could hear
nothing later than they already knew.
And yet, while the Oregon was on her
way to her nexi port, Rio de Janeiro,
war had been declared; Dewey had set
sail for Manila; the Spanish torpedo
boat Temerario had left Buenos
Ayres; and spain's feet, four cruisers
and three torpedo-boats under Ger
vera, being ordered away by Portugal,
had left Cape Verde islands.-Tudor
Jinks, in St. Nicholas.
