Another reason for French sympathy
with Spain is apparent. French capital
is very largely invested in Spain. The
Spanish railroad Compania del Norte
is leased to French company, and the
tobacco monopoly has also much French
capital invested in it.

TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.
A Small Boy with bohemian Instincts
Who Disdained White
Duck suits.

A certain newspaper man has little
protege OF six years who frequently
tastes OF his bounty in the shape Of
soda water and peanuts and popcorn
and other luxuries, says the Cleveland
Leader. What the scribe especially
likes about the little fellow is his
scorn Of social amenities. He Is one
OF the boys who delights in dirt, and
plenty Of it. and dirt is decidedly be-
coming to him. A few days ago he
came out of his home in spick-and-
span suit of white.
"Hullo," he said to the scribe.
But the latter professed not to know
him.
Don't you know me?" cried the
little fellow. I'm Georgia"
But the newspaper man shook his
head.
Il don't know any such clean boys"
he said. THE boys like best are al
ways nice and dirty"
Then he walked on, while the boy fell
behind.
Pretty soon he heard the patter of
little feet behind him.
''Mr. Blank" cried a shrill voice, Jam
l dirty enough now?"
He looked around.
The young scamp had actually rolled
himself in the gutter!
And it was weeks before the news

Spiders webs have passed through
many usages, from the styptic of a
thousand years ago to the festooning
of cellars and bottles in which "old"
wines are stored, but not the least
striking of their adaptations is that

are spun for the making of balloons.

The streets of Manila are so modern
as to be quite out of keeping with the
general appearance Of the town. They
are perfectly straight, macadamized,

OF these the Esconta and the Rosario

During the successful campaign

It is said that this bird has won more

CONTRARY STEPHEN TROGML.
And the One Occasion Upon Which
He Is Said to Have Made
Slight Concession.

81 suppose" said Col. Calliper, that
among contrary men my old friend
stephen Trogill. who formerly lived in
Storkvile Center, Vi, would easily
nave stood first He never agreed with
ANY body or anything, and it was said
OF him that he had never made even
the slightest concession to anybody,
except upon one occasion. But, con-
trary and exasperating as he was, he
was nevertheless source of pride to
his fellow citizens. who regarded him
as townspeople are likely to regard
any one of their number who has at
tracted public attention by achieving
remarkable success, or by the mani
fesiation OF some remarka BILE quality.
And even the one concession that he
was reported 10 have made was OF
such nature and made under such
circumstances. rs. instead of Iessening
their regard for him, still further com
mended him to their approval.
"As they used to tell the story in
Storkyille Center. Mr.. Trogill had'nnce
in some way found himself in place
where, as he stood looking about, he
was approached by a parsonage whom
he recognized instantly from the pic
lures he had seen of him, and who halt
ed alongside of him and spoke:
. 'Um-m-you find it pretty warm
here, Mr.. Trogill?' this parsonage said,
"And the answer that heightened
StorkviIle CenIer's regard for Uncle
Stephen was:
30, yes. I suppose you would
call this kind o. summery.'"

Your circle is broken, but dry all your tears ,
Think of your loved one who, through long
weary years,
Suffered and prayed he might lie down and
rest,
No longer to be by suffering distressed.
Patiently he bore all his agony and pain,
Trusting in Jesus and His coming ugain;
Knowing if he slept beneath the cold ground
He would awake when the trumpet should
sound.
Then, loved ones, weep not, his sufferings
DER,
He'll awake in the morning on Eden's
bright shore;
Perfected through suffering, He'll arose on
that morn,
And the glory of Jesus his form will adorn.
No more to be racked by the hand of
disease,
And troubles and trials forever will cease.
Look up, sorrowing ones, he will not sleep
long,
But arise with the saints who will sing the
new song.
Be ready to join him, to be caught up in the
air,
To meet our blessed Saviour, Who has
promised to be there;
And His promise VIII not fall all the
sleeping ones He'll bring
From their oil. dusty beds to crown Him
as their King.
We know you sadly miss him, but your loss
has been his gain,
He's resting in Jesus. no more to suffer pain !;
Though twas hard to have him leave you,
meekly say ''Thy will be DONE"
You forever will be with him when the
blessed Lord shall come.

Line Between Key West and PuDta Hassa
Temporarily Broken.

Key West, April 19.-It is learned that
the cable between Key West and Punta
Rassa has been cut about two miles
this side OF Sanibel island, about III
miles from Key West. The matter was
kept secret, and the break has been re-
paired. The incident looked suspicious.
as the broken end OF the cable showed
that 1t had been cut clean through.
The rupture might have been acci-
DENTAL as the water is shallow where
the break occurred and the anchor of
some vessel may have become en-
tangled in the cable, but the shallow
ness of the water would render de-
iiberate cutting by an enemy a com
parativcly easy task.
Captain Sampson learned of it yester-
day and wired the navy department at
Washington. 1t has been decided to
establish a careful guard in those wa
ters, and suspicious craft will be sum-
;narily dealt with. The old revenue
cutter Mclean has already been sent
on patrol there. The matter is of the
utmost Importance, as the cables be-
tween here and Punta Rassa are the
only communication with the mainland.
and If they were interfered with at this
time the consequences could not be fore
told.
An additional cause for suspicion is
found in the fact that the cable be-
tween here and Havana recently broke
near here.
The local junta ridicules the notion
that senors Gown and Ramirez or any
other Autonomist will venture into the
camp of General Maxine Gomez to at
tempt to persuade him to accept Gener-
al Blanco's armistice. They say that
Gomez will hang them, as the insurgent
leader will consider none save those for
the absolute independence Of the island.

exigencies of the situation, speedy
action is sxpected.
In time of war the army is to consist
of two branches, the1 regular and the
volunteer army, the lattsr TO be main
tanned only during the existence OF
war. or while war is imminent, and is

Congress authorizes. All enlistments
for the volunteer army are to be for
three years, unless sooner terminated.
All the regimentsl and company officers
of the volunteer army are to appointed
by the President. upon recommends
tions of the Governors of the States in
which their respective organizations are
raised.
Concerning the National Guard, it is
provided that when the members of any
company or regiment of the organized
militia shall enlist in the volunteer
army in a body, as such company OF
regiment. the regimental and company
officers in service with the militia

pointed by the President, subject to an
examination as to fitness and capacity
to be officers of corresponding graues In

ceived in the service as part OF ths
volunteer army.
The troops in time of war, whether
belonging to the regular or volunteer
army or to the militia, are to be or
ganizsd into divisions of three brigades.

Cannot Have Our Coal.

Washington, April 1S.-In view Of
Spnin's efforts to collect coal at Ha-
vana and San Juan, no doubt exists in
political circles that the naval plan for
the Spanish government contemplates
the dispatch of her fleet to western wa
ters.
1t is officially admitted that this gov
ernnlent has determined not to permit
American coal to be taken TO the Cars
Verde islands on board the British
tramp steamship Hampstead, and that
negotiations are under way for the sals
of that vessel and her cargo to the
United States. The Hampstead, al
though she was to have sailed Satur-
day, has not gone, and her purchase
will probably be announced within the
next "a hours.
1t is admitted by officials that they
are trying to meet trick with trick.
There is but small amount OF coal
at ST. Vincent, and IL would be neces-
sary for the Spanish fleet to so to some
other point for fuel within short time.
as the supply at Cape Verde cannot last
any length of time. 1t was to help the
feet now gathered at that point that
the Hampstead was ordered to pro-
reed to Cape Verde after purchasing
q supply at Lamhert's Point.

BIG FIRE IN BOSTON.
An Elevator Destroyed and with IL Aoo,s
600 Bushels of Grain.

600 Bushels of Grain.
Boston, April 18.-The roof of the
grain elevator at Hoosac tunnel docks,
ChareHtown, was blown completely off
by dust explosion yesterday. and tho
fire that followed it net only destroyed
the remaining portion of the immense
structure, but consumed nearly the en-
tire contents, over 100000 bushels Of
grain, mostly wheat. The steamer Cam
brennan which had just finished loading
at the dock, was towed out without in
jury, but some of the small tenements
adjoining and a building used as dis
tillery by Chaplin & Trull were damaged
more or less by the debris from tho
roof
The loss is estimated by the fire ua-
derwriters at nearly 100000, making
fire loss that has not been eQualed in
this city since 1893. The explosion not
only shook up the entire section of
Charlestown, but was notlceahly felt in
the city proper and in many ot the sab
urbs.
The entire loss is covered by insur-
ance, which falls alike on FIRE and ma
rine companies, as much of the grain
was in process of shipment from the
west to Europe. The individual losses
cannot yet be estimated but the grain
itself was valued at about 100000. The
loss on the structure Ia 0,000 and tho
damage to the pier and adjoining prop
erty is about $4,000. Chaplin g. Trull,
the distillers, suffered great damage by
water and flying timbers, and their loss
will be about $4,000.
OF the 100000 bushels Of grain in the
elevator. over half Of 1t was wheat
| awaiting shipment to Europe, and own
ed by Mr.. j. V. Letter of Chicago. The
balance consisted of osts, corn and 9TH
er cereals, the property of various par
| ties in the west.
