Phlladelphia REGARD

A wife's unjust suspicious were the cause
OF very strained relations recently between
a young couple living on Columbia avenue
near twentieth street. She got the idea
INTO her head that he was deceiving her
when he said. as he frequently did that he
was going around the corner for the even
ing to see friend In an attempt TO do
little detective work she bought a pocket
pedometer, an instrument resembling a
watch, which registers the distance travelled
by the person who carries il. The next
time her husband went around the corner
she secretly slipped 1t into one of his pock-
cts and awaited the result. When he re-
turned that night she found that tell-tale
instrument registered nine miles. In vain
he attempted 10 convince her that he simply
had been playing billiards with hts friend ON
the latters private table, which was really
the case. and that the machine had counted
up the miles as he walked around the fa-
BILE. Her accusations led to a violent QUAR-
rel. which was settled only after several
days had elapsed.

Only saloon Closed.

PARAMOUNT, Ind, March 26.-The tenn
perance element is temporarily on top here,
after a five years fight For the past seven
years Luthe" Morris, the only man who has
been successful in getting retail license to
sell liquor in the corporate limits of this
city. always managed to renew his license
until now, when he is shut off completely
and closed up tight Morris applied for
license at the December term of the County
Commissioners court, but was promptly
met by a remonstrance of sufficient strength
to kill the same. He Immediately took an
appeal to the Circuit Court and in the
meanwhile opened his doors as quart shop
and did a thriving business under the old
law, until last Thursday. when the pros
ecuting attorney sent him word to close his
doors or he would be prosecuted for every
drop of liquor sold. Morris was only too
glad to comply with the warning, as he was
laborng under the impression that the
quart shop law was not valid and could
not be enforced. Since last Thursday night
not drop of liquor has been sold from his
place. Morris's appeal is still pending in
court at Anderson. Morris, it will be re-
membered, is the saloon keeper whose
building Walter G.. Rush confessed last Sep
TENDER to have blown UP, duplicating in his
confession twenty prominent business men
of the town. Just what the outcome will be
is awaited by both sides with considerable
interest Meanwhile the fight goes on. The
Leople who are in favor of the saloon have
instituted a boycott on all merchants who
signed the remonstrance.

spanish FIotilln Not Formidable.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The World S
Madrid correspondent says that the Spanish
lotilla now on the way from the Canary
islands consist of three torpedo boats, three
destroyers, and the merchant steamer City
of Cadiz carrying coal. 1t has been stated
that there are thirteen vessels in the fleet.
The Spanish government is endeavoring to
secure torpedo destroyers and cruisers in
England and a cruiser from Italy.
Great activity is reported al Cadiz, Ferrol
and Cartagena arsenals. Coast defenses are
being strengthened in SPAIN, the Baleric
isles, Ceuta and the Canary isles. The min
lister of war has obtained credit of 81, 300 900
for war stores.
Intense excitement has been caused in po-
litical and financial circles and in fact
among all classes of society, by the news
of the report on the Maine. In fact even
the ministerial papers like the Liberal and
CorreO Correspondence, say Spain can go
no further in concessions to the United
States
Much disposition is still manifested by the
press and governing classes to expect moral
and material assistance from European
powers if war or serious conflict arises
In court circles Germany and Austria are
said to be willing to interpose when oppor-
tunity arises. Probably the Madrid Foreign
Office will soon place a review of the whole
Spanish case and The relations between
Spain and the United States before Europe
