An enterprising Portsmouth IN. H.
merchant has made small fortune
since the arrival of the Spanish prison
ers at that port by the sale of sailor
caps, on the bands of which he has had
printed the name ''Cristobal Colon"
He disposes of them to gullible people
who do not know that the caps worn
by the Spanish sailors have the names
OF their respective vessels woven into
TIE band with wire thread.

There was a justifiaLle pride in the
remark of Mrs. La Case, the sole WON
an survivor of the Dourgogne wreck,
pointing to her husband: III am the
only woman saved, he is the only man
who saved woman" A distinction
indeed!

Much is heard of the disappearance
of wild beasts, but state bounty for
their determination quickly brings to
light large supply. Last year the

was called on to pay $50, o94, represent

An eastern exchange reports that a
baseball umpire has lost his suit on an
accident policy. He was hit in the eye
and he sued for $685.. The court di-
rected verdict for the company on the
ground that umpiring is dangerous
business, and that the defendant was
negligent in going into the game.

ed: In two rows like corn!" and then,
in place of the order: "Fours right"
commanded: Now swing like gate!"

A Coin Collector.

A certain doctor Of Irish extraction, al
present residing in Griqualand West, was IL.
quested by friend Of his living at Cape.
Town to procure him some "Oom Paul''
shillings.
The doctor, very good-natured man.,
managed, after three weeks assiduous labor,
to collect nearly 80 of them.
These he took to the post office, got post
office order for the amount, and sent it to his
friend in Cape Town, whose astonshment

Spanish lack of the sense of humor
has been humorously illustrated at
every stage of the war. 1t is usually
the case that those who are most
laughable see least to laugh at. The
pompous posing of the Spaniards, their
fiamboyant boasting, their bombastic
grandiloquence, their incessant pratt
ing of pride and honor, has furnished
laughter for the world, but it has all
been most serious and solemn to the
Spaniards themselves.

The statute of confederate soldier
surmounts the monument to the CON
federate dead unveiled at Luray, Va,
July 81, the anniversary of the first
battle of Bull Run. Sentiment relating
to the reunited country was the key
note of the occasion. There were four
floats, the first carrying As young

second was q tableau of the burial OF

the fourth the north and south re-

b. j. Hallberg, of Usage City, Kan,
recently received check of $35 from
the auditor of the navy department,
together with letter to the effect
that the money was his share of fund
raised in New York for the benefit of
the relatives of those killed by the
blowing up of the battleship Maine.
More than five years ago Hallberg's
son ran away from home and his par
ents heard nothing of him until his
name appeared on the list of the
Names dead. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
berg sent photograph and descrip-
ton of their lost son to the navy de-
partment. In due time the identity of
the dead sailor was established and he
proved to be the Usage county boy.

Spanish Humor.

If the writers OF comic plays, mu-
steal and otherwise, do not find ma
terial in the contract which has been
made for the return of our prisoners,
for better work than they have ever
done, the fault will be with themselves.
From business point of view, says the
New York Sun. the government has
made bargain. but it is such ludi-
crous bargain as may not be found in
the annals of prosaic trade. The hui
NOR of the situation is made delicious
by the conditions under which the
Spanish Steamship company bid for
the contract to transport our prison
ers to their native land. One would
think that the company's ships would
be quite safe on the high seas while
engaged in this business. But it seems
that the company does not think so,
and it stipulated in it's bid for a convoy
of our warships to accompany its YES
sells to the port of debarkation. As the
company knows its ships, while en-
route, would not be molested by our
navy, the only inference to be drawn is
that the company fears its own SOL
diers or its own warships and has abid-
ing faith in the gentleness and power
of the enemy. There was time when
the enemy was tainted and accused of
having a voracious appetite for gold,
which the Spaniards, like Bunthorne,
despise-in the abstract. But that day
has passed. The enemy is now, as he
always has been, Yankee pig; but he
yields to the Spaniards in the matter
of yearning for gold.

THE STRAIGHT OF IT.
Democrats Claim Credit for the
Splendid Achievements of
Our Warships.

Those democratic newspapers which
are trying to make political capital
out of the achievement of the United
States warships by claiming that the
democratic party originated the new
navy are not wise. The claim thus
made suggests an appeal to the facts,
and the facts are against the claim. 1t
is afrequently-repeated assertion that
Hon. William c. Whitney, while Sec
rotary of the navy in President Cleve-
lands first cabinet, started the crea-
ton of the ships which have won such
distinction for American arms.
Secretary Whitney was an energetic
and capable official, andn fair minded
person seeks to deprive him of the
credit that is his due. But the super
serviceable democratic newspapers
are protesting too much. Let's see.
Mr.. Cleveland's first administration be-
gan March 4, 1885, and ended March A,
1889. A reference to the official rec
ords will show that four vessels-the
first of the new navy-were built prior
to the incoming of the democratic
regime. The keels of the Atlanta, Bos-
ton, Chicago and Dolphin were laid in
1888, while President Arthur was in
the white house.
All four of these ships have done
good service, and although the Cleve-
land administration objected to the
Dolphin on the ground of structural
weakness, that craft has proved to be
one of the stanchest in the navy. The
Boston took part in the famous Manila
fight. and is one of Admiral Dewey's
best ships. Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration in building naval vessels
showed great Partially for English
designs, nearly all of which proved de-
fective or absolute failures. The re-
publican administrations have relied
on American designs and American
material. The results at Manila and
Santiago sufficiently vindicate their
|judgment.-Troy Times.
| UEvery democratic state convention
held this year with the exception of
Pennsylvania has declared for silver,
and every democratic state convention.
including Massachusetts, will do the
same with the exception of New
York. This state then will stand alone,
a strange position for the state of Van
9uren, Marcy, Wright, Tilden and Sey-
nour. But then the democracy of New
York is in strange hands to-day, and
wonder should not be excited that its
influence wanes.-Albany journal.
