Spanish Recruits From Teneriffe

1t has lately been reported that Spain
was dispatching troops to Teneriffe, one OF
the Canary Islands, so as to put that place
in shape for defense in case of hostilities
arising between the peninsular government
and the United States. The British agent
there, Consul Maclean, says in a recent re-
port that the male population of the island
has eenb greatly reduced ever since Spain
began to send troops to Cuba to quell the
war. All troop ships and war vessels bound
from Spain to the West Indies put In at
Teneriffe, and rarely did one proceed on her
way that that she did not take at least
dozen Teneriffians to swell the ranks of
those on board. The British consul writes:
II have ascertained from the military au-
thorities that the number of recruits sent
from Teneriffe alone in 1867 was 1897.
These men have been taken from the very
flower of the peasantry, whose physique,
much superior to that of the town-dwellers
has naturally led to their being selected
for military service. The disturbances IN
Cuba have also forced many colonists
natives of these islands) to return here
from Cuba. half ruined; whereas, in more
prosperous times, they would have re-
mitted money to their relatives remaining
in the Canary Islands" New York

A member Of Emperor Williams house.
hold furnishes some interesting details OF
his majesty's trip to Palestine. He has
finally decided to leave the empress behind,
her physicians forbidding horseback riding,
and as driving in Palestine is impossible
she had to relinquish the trip, much to her
majestys regret. The emperor's program,
besides the dedication of the German church
at Jerusalem, includes laying the corner
stone of the German school, parsonage and
hospital. The latter will be erected on the
ruins of the Muristan, in the heart of Jeru
salem.
The important task which the empror
has undertaken is to regain for the Roman
Catholics the possession Of the Coenaculum

WHY THE QUARTET sULKs
Won't Sing in Church Because 4
"Patriotic" Song Was Kissed

The Waverly Congregational church OF
Booraem avenue, Jersey City, Is likely to
lose q quartet which has sung in its choir
for several years. 1t is composed OF George
Beisheim, William Lawdham, Stephen Eyre
and William Turner, the latter being
brother-in-law of the Rev. j. Z. EmoryA
pastor of the church.
There is no difficulty between the choir
and the quartet or between the eitter ana
the church officers. 1t all came from con-
cert given recently by the choir. The trou-
BILE was made by a song that Mr.. Lawdham
of the quartet, who wrote it, intended to be
patriotic The audience did not agree with
Mr.. Lawdham. They greeted its first verse
with Kisses, and as the song went on the
kissing became SO violent that the quartet
finally left the stage. They say they will
never sing in the church again.
The great objection-so persons VINO ate
tended the concert say-was to the chorus
of the song, of which there are two versesa
Sammy, get your gun now ana Knock them
off their feet;
Don't listen to Mckinley, to Mark Hanna
or Wall street;
But think of those poor sailor boys VINO
died this awful death.
Oh, Sammy, get your gun now and take
away their breath.
Oh, wait awhile Mckinley, oh, walt awhn>(
pray;
Oh. wait awhile Mckinley for what Tvs
got to say;
Oh, never mind the people, Bill, but take
my kind advice;
Oh. wait awhile, Mckinley, for the people
cut no ice.
? So far as can be learned, the people who
heard the song thought it too slangy, and
that it dealt in too flippant manner with
what the nation regards as tragedy

COUGHS UP FOUR SNAKES
East st. Louis Woman Convinces 6
Doctor She Hasn't Appendicitis

st. Louis-Miss Susie Rucker of East
st. Louis has been a victim of stomach
trouble for some time. DR.. ]. McCarley of
Gross Park was treating her and he had
just brought himself to believe that Susie
was suffering from the highly aristocratic
illness of appendicitis. He contemplated
an operation, but Miss Susie could not see
that at all, and was stoically bearing her
pain until she caused CONSERVATION in her
neighborhood by coughing up four snakes.
Miss Fuckers slumbers were disturbed
at o'clock by violent twitching in her
stomach. She screamed and awakened
the household. She hurriedly informed
them that something was about to happen.
DR.. McCarley was sent for in haste and
while awaiting his arrival the family sa-
around the young girls bedside in suspense
and fear.
I'm sorter seasick, mother" Susie said
| family; would you all mind giving me q
| little room?"
| The family circle was widened. Finally
Susie was sitting bolt upright in bed and
| four wriggling snakes were upon the floor.
| Each was about four inches in length, and
seemed just as glad to gain liberty as
Susie was relieved to give it to them.
She surveyed the bunch of reptiles on
the floor and expressed her opinion of
doctor who didn't know snakes from APP
pendcitis, and, cambering out of bed, She
gathered up the snakes and placed them in
q Jar for sa fe keeping.
DIR. McCarley arrived, and, after viewing
the exhibit, said he was of the opinion
that Miss Susie had been drinking slough
water all winter and had rnconsciousiy
swallowed a nest of snake eggs.
The patient says she is now feeling in her
old-time health, and that she is going TO
keen the snakes as q souvenir of the
uueerest illness she ever experienced.

HEATED WITH STEAM
No Use for Coal in This Little Rhode
Island Country Church

"Well," said the priest, when there was
q lull in the story telling that was helping
to pass the time on the Pullman smoker,
"the clergy occasionally have their expert
ences. 1 am in charge of little country
parish in Rhode Island. 1t is not a wealthy
parish, and 1 sometimes have to work
pretty hard to make the various ends of the
financial string come together smoothly.
early last fall ordered several tons of
coal-enough to carry us through the win
ter-and / announced that on the following
Sunday we should take a collection for the
purpose of raising the money to pay the
bill. Sunday came, and at the high mass
stood in the pulpit as the baskets were
being circulated, urging the congregation
to contribute as freely as possible, as the
collection at the early mass had not met
my expectations. AS talked 1 kept my
eyes fixed upon the wealthiest member of
the congregation, little Irishman, who
had always been conspicuous for his liber-
atty in supporting the church work. What
was my surprise, therefore, to see that, in
stead of contributing freely when the bas-
ket was passed to him, he screwed his
face into an inimitable grimace, winked
slyly at the collector and motioned him to
pass dlOuS.
"When the money in the basket had been
counted and IT was found that we still
lacked several dollars of having enough to
Fay the bill, I decided to take up another
collection. So 1 turned to the pulpit.
'I explained the facts to the congrega-
ton, and stated that there were several
persons who had not contributed accord
ing to their means. That was meant for
the little Irishman, but it did no good, for,
while the necessary amount of money was
collected, he had contributed nothing more
than repetition of his facial gymnastics.
To say that was surprised is to put it very
mildly.
1.-THE next day I met him on the street,
ard 1 stopped him.
Pat asked, L wish you would tell me
why it was that you refused to contribute
to that coal collection Yesterday
" 'Ah, sure, your reverence he an
swered, but yer sly bye
" What do you mean?' l asked rapidly
losing my temper.
" 'Ah, sure he replied, with a broad
grin and knowing wink at me, AN

Lottery Tickets at Church

"My recent visit to Havana" remarked
representative, "opened my eyes to
many of the peculiar conditions of things
that exist in that city, and as it was my
first inside sight of the Havana lottery
business, l was greatly interested in it.
Notwithstanding all the war talk and prep
arations for war the lottery business goes
steadily on and there are daily, besides
the monthly and semi-monthly drawings.
AS the government is behind the scheme.
they will not give the people rest, the
profit in it is enormous and the people pay
q daily tax through the medium of this
scheme without ever realizing that they
are paying it. The Spaniard is sport all
the way through, and it appears that he
would as soon think of doing away with
one of his meals as he would with his daily
lottery ticket. Men are not the only buy
ers of tickets, for saw as many women in
the lottery office as l did men, They re-
mind me more of the high-fyers to be seen
about redhot mining camp than anything
else | can compare them to. While none OF
them apparently had penny to spare,
they all lived on in expectation of being
about to strike it rich or win the capital
prize before the day was over. The police
of the city dispose of the tickets and every
resident of the city has to take one each
day or give some good reason for declin-
ing The last Sunday L was there I saw an
alcalde selling tickets to the people as they
came out of a church, though while in the
church they were also asked and practice
ally required to make a contribution to-
wards the support of the city government.
The city government as such does not sell
the lottery tickets, but it has lot of sim
liar ways to raise money. The profits from
the lottery go to the royal government,
that is, the horde of Spanish officials who
are foisted upon the island by Spain''-

Menagerie Was Short Lived

Mr.. Bloom, the proprietor of the Wash
ington hotel, Punxatawney, Pa, opened a
little menagerie in the show window of
the hotel barroom there. 1t consisted of
two coons, a muskrat and large owl. On
the morning after the opening of the show
nothing remained of the owl but the feath-
ers. The coons had devoured it. The por-
ter attempted to clean out che remnants
of the owl, but the muskrat flew at him
and bit his finger. This so incensed the
porter that he procured at baseball bat
and hammered the life out of the muskrat.
The coons are still there.-Philadelph

CALIFORNIA OPINION
They Should Be Indicted

The best proof of the unseaworthiness
of many of the old hulks being commits
stoned for the Alaskan trade is the refu-
sal of the marine insurance men to write
risks on them at any price. A sample OF
this is given in the case of the bark Leslie
D., that is announced to sail today for the
north with 100 passengers. She was first
launched thirty-six years ago, and the
underwriters absolutely decline to give a
line Of insurance on her for the reason
that latter a wooden sailing vessel has
been damned around for over thirty years
she has no right to go to sea, and GER
taiaIy no right to carry passengers" Yet
the owners and agents have, in face of all
this, deliberately assumed the responsible
ity of the lives of 100 human beings.-Oak-
land Tribune.

The Brownie Has Just Reached London

The latest addition to our inck-knacks
is the American Brownie. Its body, COW
cred with brown stockinette, is oblong
and set horizontally on spindle legs and
heightened arms; the face, wash leather,
surmounted by red silk cap and invest
ed with google eyes. These imps assume
the quaintest attitudes and are hung or
palms or pendulate beneath the electric
light, or appear to be peering into bas-
ket of daffodis; or, congregated togeth-
er, represent a field of gold-diggers at
Klondike. They are one Of the minor

the much smaller red bronze imps which
at one time figured in many a boudoir,
and were SO cleverly modelled in various
comical attitudes.-St. James Gazette.
