FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

A London correspondent writes
from Havana to say that Cuba Is rapid
ly drifting into anarchy.
The governor of Buda Pest has de-
cided to expel all anarchists who are
not citizens of Hungary.
The Echo de Paris says M Cambon,
the French ambassador at Washington,
is to be transferred to Vienna.
"A Berlin cablegram says Herr Theo-
dore Fontana, the German writer and
poet, is dead. He was born in 1919.
Six Italians have been arrested on
suspicion of having been connected with
the assassination of the empress Of
Austria.
Late dispatches say that the bound
ary dispute between Chile and Argen-
tine has broken out afresh, and that
the situation is rapidly becoming un-
tenable
1t is reported that the assassin of the
Austrian empress belonged to a gang
of anarchists who came from Europe
to the United States two years ago, and
that the chiefs are still in New York.
Chile has sent an ulC1matum TO Ar
gentine, according to dispatch from
Buenos Ayres. Chile has given Argen-
tine five days in which to accept un-
restricted arbitration in the boundary
dispute.
The Duke d. Orleans has issued a
manifesto denouncing the Dreyfus adj
herents. He accuses the ministry of
seeking a revision of the Dreyfus pro-
|ceedings, although convinced that Drey-
fus was guilty.
The disarmament of the Mussulmans
has not yet begun. The Turkish mill
tary commander has demanded that
arms be surrendered aboard the Turk
ish vessel, but the British admiral in
sists that the arms be delivered over to
him.
A Lisbon dispatch says that elabo-
rate measures have been taken to pro-
teet the royal residence at Cintra and
Cascaes. 1t seems that the authorities
have been warned of plot to as
sassinate King Carlos. The anarchists
are behind the plot.

SOME HARD REFLECTIONS.
Woman-Hater's Ideas of the Fair Sc
Put Down Pat.

Woman-Hater's Ideas of the Fair Sex
Put Down Pat
A double faced woman is not singu-
lar.
It's not always the mans clothing
that makes the woman.
The greatest hypnotists on earth are
women. Hypnotists are fakes.
Love is the highest form Of imagin-
alton. Women are imaginative beings.
There Is no power on earth that can
refuse woman lips properly applied.
Trust a woman for everything. All
credit establishments eventually go
broke.
The recording angel never marks
down what woman says Of her rivals
photograph.
/ have never seen woman who
would not lie. All the dead people I've
seen were men.
Only a few women will have cause
to complain Of "having nothing to
wear" when entering the golden gates.
When a man goes to hades he will
wish he was woman; then he could
jolly his satanic majesty for ice cream.
The only time a wife finds a hair on
her husbands sleeve and does not ac-
cuse him Of inidelity is when the hair
is gray.
In referring to feminine blondes new
er call them 'fair-haired goddesses, as
goddesses are unnatural So are most
blondes.
When men are happy they want to be
with women. who destroy that happi-
ness; and still they want to be with
them. Men are fools by association.
At 16 girl enjoys being kissed for
the pleasure of it; at 20 she still enjoys
it, but denies ever being kissed; at Fl
she begins kissing young boys, "just for
fun;' and at 80 she will kiss any old
thing that offers itself for sacrifice

SAW THE PRESIDENT.
Delegation of Rough Riders" at the
White House.

President Mckinley informally re-
ceived a delegation of about a dozen
members of the Roosevelt Rough Rider
regiment late last week. A majority
of the delegation are from Mexico, and
are en- route home. They were all pre-
sented by Delegate Ferguson of that
territory, who stated that New Mexico
had furnished four of the captains and
440 of the men constituting the regi-
ment Each of the callers were pre-
sented individually to the President,
who, after greeting them personally,
talked with them and to them as
body in an informal manner. He
spoke with earnest enthusiasm of the
work of the regiment in the Santiago
campaign, saying that he was pleased
to have the opportunity on his own be-
half, and in behalf of the country at
large, to thank the regiment, through
the present delegation, with the work
it had done.
''Your record is one" he said, "of
which the entire nation is proud. I,
tell the people who talk with me about
the Rough Riders, that you left the
boats in squads of twenty or thirty, in
Lu6 way W OdAC1d6O CilLO LudL
you hardly stopped until, you arrived
there.
''You have not only done WE'LL" he
said, "but I have no doubt you would
all be willing to again serve your
country in an emergency"
The response was that they would
to a man.
"We want our colonel to raise bri-
gade instead of a regiment next time,"
said one of the younger members of the
party.
The President also congratulated the
soldiers upon their good fortune in re-
ceiving competent officers to lead
them, and met with a hearty response
to all he said about Col. Roosevelt and
Gen. Wood and Gen. Young.
The delegation comprised the follow
ing named members of the regiment:
Capts. W. H. Llewellyn, T. Muller, r.
C. Day and M Lun; Lieuts. w. F. DAN
iel, J. H. Carr, Thomas H. Rhinning,

There are honors for the surgeons as
well as for the soldiers In Cuba. 1t is
just possible a faulty preparation in
camp equipment, in transportation and
In food supplies caused unnecessary
hardship among the troops. The 'pren-
tice hand seemed to be revealed In that
direction. But the doctor was ready
all the time, and he shared the dangers
and hardships with the soldiers. The
sacrtfces made by physicians with the
army In Cuba can never be recounted,
but they add luster to a profession al
ready ennobled. 1t was pleasing to
nObe the quick and complete grasp of
the situation at Siboney. The MANAGE
OF yellow fever was robbed of it's ter
rors because preparation to fight 1t had
been made from the beginning. Not a
detail was neglected. And the fever.
which might reasonably have been ex-
pected 10 decimate our troops, failed to
gain footing In the army. 1t Is alto
gether probable the Spaniards have suf-
fered far more than the Americans
from disease In the island. 1t is q
wonderfully creditable thing, and may

Spain the army may be increased, but
It win not matter so much whether we

million rifles, with the necessary am
munition, a million uniforms, with
tents and all other necessities for the
Quitting of that number of soldiers,

this war thought we could do namely,

Ancestral worship, which is prin-
cipal part Of a Chinaman's religion,
sometimes bears fruit in filial devo-
ton which 1t would be hard to find
among the nations who are at present
preying upon the Chinese Empire. For
example. at Canton, few weeks ago,
a young man eighteen years Of age was
executed on the charge Of murder, al
though 1t was known he was not guilty.
A Shanghai paper, in commenting upon
the incident spoke Of the large amount
Of sympathy that was felt for the con-
demned man, because it was so well
known that the actual murderer was
his father. In order to save his parent
and satisfy the law of "life for life,"
the son gave himself up as soon as he
knew that his father had done the deed,
and confessed the murder. AS the
Chinese saying has 1t. "He sealed his
hlial piety with his blood"

Some oldest inhabitant or historical
deliver has unearthed the following
from the London Times Of Oct. 13, 1913:
'4The fact seems toNbe but too clearly
established that the Americans have
some superior mode Of firing and we
cannot be too anxiously employed in
discovering to what circumstance that
superiority is owing" So it seems the
superiority of American gunnery was
as marked In the war Of 1912 as it is in
the present war. 1t seems to run in
the blood.

Changing the Natural Order.

"It's a peculiar fact" said a young
lawyer yesterday, shat negro men sell
dom fight over women, but 1t is the
negro women who fight over the men.
This is confirmed by the records Of the
police courts. 1t is always the dusky
damsels who figure as belligerents in a
case of jealousy. The old saying is
that wherever any trouble happens you
are sure to be right when you look for
the woman at the bottom of It. As to
the colored people, this will have to be
amended, and when there Is any love
disturbance It will be well to look for
the man."-New Orleans Times Demo

The latest idol shattered by the ICON
oclast of science is the keenness Of
vision Of the red Indian. 1t is ascer-
tained by practical tests that he can

According to Southey the possession
of both "shall' and twill" by the Eng
lish language gives it peculiar advan-
tage over most other languages. The
fact is that, though the two words are
used carelessly by most of us there are
occasions when the choice between
them, or some other auxiliary, becomes
very important. A case recently came
up before the London Tribunal of ap-
peal which turned entirely on the mean
ing of the word shall" The London
building act says that in exceptional
certain cases the London County Coun-
Gil shall sanction changes In building
plans" The parties interested urged
that SHALL" as here used, was manda-
tory, and that the sanction Of the Com
mon Council was thus merely minis
terial act which they were bound to per-
form. They maintained that Parlia-
ment would have used the word ''may," "
If the intention had been to give merely
permissive directions. The tribunal
held in favor of the applicants, thus
confirming the view that in case Of
doubt "shall' is mandatory.

The naval constructors who have ex.
amined the wrecks of Ceryera's cruiS-
ers on the coast of Cuba are convinced
that the Maine was blown up by an ex-
ternal explosion. One Of the purposes
of the examination Of the wrecks was
to settle that question. and there is no
longer any doubt, it is said, upon the
point in dispute. The magazines on all
these cruisers exploded, and in not one
Of the wrecks were there found injuries
similar to those found In the hull Of
the Maine. In no case was the keel
upheaved, and there was little buiging
Of the plates such as was noticeable
in the wreck Of our warship. While
no further. evidence was required to
convince the American people that the
Maine was destroyed by an explosion
brought about by some agency over
which the Spanish officials Of Havana
had control. 1t is gratifying, neverthe-
less, to know that conclusive proof Of
the commission Of q horrible crime in
the harbor of Havana has been fur
nished by the examination Of the
wrecks Of the Spanish cruisers.
Throughout the navy the belief was
general and well grounded that the
blowing up Of the Maine was the re-
suit of Spanish plot, and that 1t why
the battle-cry, Remember the'Maine," :"
was such an Inspiration to American
seamen and American gnnners. While
revenge is not praiseworthy senti-
ment for Christian people to cherish,
no American can very well think of
the fate of the 262 brave seamen who
were killed in Havana harbor while
they were asleep without desiring that
such an awful punishment shall be
meted out to the nation that was re-
sponsible for that crime.
