WHAT THE BAND PLAYED.
An Exciting Dinner Table Episode on an
Atlantic Liner.

Atlantic Liner.
An instance of what it calls "trans-
atlantic courtesy is related by LIE Gau-
lois of Paris. One of the greatest singers
of France, a woman whom it says every
body will at once identify on a mo-
ment's consideration, was returning
from New York on one of the German
liners Ore evening, glancing at the
programme of the concert that was to
nouncement of triumphal march cele.
brating the German victory of 1871.
II am sure" she said to a fellow
countryman sitting near, "that this is
not intended as discourtesy to us, but
l don't care! I'm too much Of patriot
not to express my disapproval of it in
my own way when they begin 70 play
this piece. Wait and see. "
The captain, having caught the gist
of these remarks and noticing the great
artists agitation, glanced at the pro-
gramme to see what caused it; then,
without showing any surprise, he spoke
to one of the walters in a low tone.
At the moment when the German tri-
umphal march was due to begin the
French singer, who could hardly con-
troll her agitation, prepared to leave the
table. The first chord was played, the
artist arose and stood, pale, agitated,
amazed, while the officers and other
passengers also got up and smiled sym
pathetically at her. And the band play

Spain Will Not Surrender

WASHINGTON, Apr. 15.--Ili.h for
cign authority has given out here n
semi-oilcial statement of the position
Spain would take regarding the surren-
der TO the Cubans. He says Spain
never will entertain a thought Of surren-
derino or evacuating Cuba. Spain has
never considered withdrawing her sover-
eighty over theWest India colonies, The
honor and dignity of Spain would revolt
at the suggestion of the independence
of Cuba. They will stand resoluely to
her inalienable right to sovereignty and
honor. She feels confident that she has
the naval support OF the entire world.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.

When II. X Bush, agent for the Barre
and Montpelier Traction and Power
Company was seen today he stated that
the road would probably take no immed-
late action on the death of Jas. S. Pier
son, president Of the road. He said
that the directors would probably meet
in this city the first part of June and at
that time elect president and superin-
tcndent of the road. He did not think
the road would be in running order un-
til about the middle or latter part of
June.

amount to anything. The President

Low Senator Vest Obtained His Desk

Many good stories could be told of
the alertness which senators display in
securing we'll placed desks, but the ex.
perience of Mr.. Vest is especially worth
relating. When in 1883 the civil service
law was being discussed, Mr.. Pendle-
ton, an Ohio Democrat. and Mr.. Dawes
had presented bills. By shrewd bit OF
politics the Republicans abandoned their
support of the Dawes bill and voted for
Mr.. Peudleton's measure, their votes,
together with the votes of the Demo-
Gratis favorable to the measure, being
sufficient to pass it. AS the bill was
about to be voted on Mr.. Cockrell NOV
ed that its title be changed SO as to
read, "A bill to retain Republicans in
office" AS soon as it passed, Mr.. Vest
filed claim for Mr.. Pendleton's seat.
"The author of such BILL" said be,
"will never come back to the senate. -
Mr.. Vest was right and at the begin
ming of the next congress he moved into
Mr.. Pendleton's vacant chair. - Wash

The Trees of Paris.

Paris is probably the cnly city in the
world which has trees that bloom twice
a year habitually. These arc the horse
chestnuts. There are 1900 of them
planted in the squares and along the
boulevards, and 10000 buttonwoods.
The trees in Paris are numbered, just
like the people, the cabs the animals,
the lampposts and the matches. These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for about five years, and only
some of them have made "a practice of
it. These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part Of July, and all the leaves
fall off. A month or SO afterward they
all come out into flower again and little
green leaves shoot forth continually un-
til they are nipped by the first frost.
There is reason for this, and the sci
entists worked over the matter for a
long time to be able to explain it.
Briefly and unscientitically the trees
lose their leaves because they are at
tackled by little fungus which is blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still full of sap, they start to put forth
leaves all over again.

rain still poured down, and the exotic
prlmeval forest surrounded us, every
leaf weeping, but above like speck
lowered the condor. He knew what
was in the blanket.
The entire company surrounded the
grave. The natives had made a rude
cross of wood, and few of the stout
lianas were used to lower all that was
left OF John into his last resting place.
The Major, chief of the expedition
took off his hat and said:
"Good by, John. You were always a
good fellow and on the square, and that's
more than can be said of most men,"
Everybody lifted their caps, the ma
tlves crossed themselves. In a few
minutes the grave was filled and we
moved of. But we had not gone far
when a vulture heavily lit upon the
cross. The Major turned, with an oath,
and bullet from his unerring revolver
severed the head of the bird, and two of
us returned to drag the body away so
that the rest of them would not fight
about it just there.
When we got back to our quarters
everybody was silent until the glasses
were filled. Then the paymaster raised
his tin cup and said:-
"Gentlemen:-I ask you to drink to
the memory of the comrade we have
lost. In many respects more than a
comrade-a brother. Most perhaps be-
cause he was also one of those who were
unsuccessful. Luck and success are
always praised, without regard to the
means employed for their attainment.
All the unsuccessful may expect is ex-
cuses, and he is in luck if he is pitied.
Nobody thinks of giving him credit for
his heartbreaking efforts. But success
is not the true measure of the man, say
[. [ honor that man more who tries
again and again, no matter how often,
until he fails, after having fought dog
gedly, persistently against adversity un-
til his last gasp. Therefore, gentlemen,
here is to the unsuccessful men, and to
their brother, just now gone to rest!

"And now," said the Major, "a fine
will be levied on anyone who says
another word about death or burial.
In this climate the step over the border
is too short to mention. Your thoughts,
am unfortunately unable to prohibit" J"
In this he was right. Itwas gloomy

storyteller forgot to help out. But the

REPORT
of Committee on Prison Reform to the
National Congregational Council
Portland Oregon.

(d). The system of instruction. This
system occupies the three fields of re-
ligion and morals, intellectual training
and industrial training. All agree
that religion and morals are essential
elements in reformation, but there is
not complete concurrence as to the rel
ative prominence which should be
given to religious training and intel
lectual training respectively. At the
Elmira Reformatory, intellectual train
ing is made prominent The schools
are organized with great care but there
is no regular chaplain or "moral in
structoT' religious services being held
each Sunday by such clergymen or
laymen as can be secured. At the
Massachusetts State Reformatory, at
Concord Junction, religious and moral
training is prominent. The "moral in.
structor" or chaplain works in close
harmony with the superintendent and
religious training is considered an es.
sential factor in the establishment of
character. Those who advocate the
Elmira method point to the danger of
encouraging hypocrisy if men are al
lowed to suppose that religious pro.
fession will tend to hasten the time of
their parole. They believe also that

But just at that moment the guinea
hen gave one of those unearthly
squawks that only a guinea hen can
give and Old Abe stopped suddenly,
looking very surprised and panied, and
then walked quietly to the other side
of the yard.
When the regiment came home at
the expiration of three years, on their
veteran furlough' he was presented to
the state and remained at the Capt.

turned to the field and served their
country for another year. At the close
of the war when all of the Wisconsin
troops were in grand review at camp
Randall, Madison, Old Abe occupied a
prominent position beside the governor
of the state and when the Sth swung
their caps and gave three cheers he
joined in as heartily as he was wont to
do in times of old, although it is said
he never paid any attention to the

the profound conviction that if she had
not been blessed with the guidance and

early years it were quite probable that
she would also be an inmate of this or
some other prison at the present mo-

was all the difference" between her and
her audience.
Now with due respect 1 wish

make this denial in behalf of the moth
ers of many other men here besides my

OLD ABE.

Our papers nowadays contain many
war "reminiscences and 1 often see
among them accounts of "OId Abe, the
War Eagle" These pen pictures are
generally much more amusing than
accurate. According to some of them
he is credited with some wonderful
feats, such as giving notice of the ap-
proach of the enemy, participating in
thirtysix battles, being wounded sew
erai times; soaring over the heads of
his regiment in time of battle scream
at the top of his voice, etc.
Old Abe was taken from his nest
before he was old enough to fly, by a
half breed Indian and presented to
company c of the 9Th Wisconsin in.
fantry. Before the regiment left the
state for the seat of war he became
by consent of company C-the proper
ty of the regiment, and a man was de-
tailed to take care of him. While on
