Wasn't Used to White skirts.

A Glasgow scientist, who visited
Canada a few years ago, made a trip
through Alberta, one of the northwest
territories of Canada, and spent some
time as the guest of a rancher. II fixed
him up as we'll as could" the rancher
relates, "but he complained that he did
not like sleeping with his clothes on.
So after the first night I stretched a
cowskin across the shack. and told him
he might undress if he liked. He took
off most of his garments and put on a
long white nightdress. In the morning
my foreman came in while the gentle
man was still sleeping. Observing the
white nightdress, he said, in a whis-
per: Rather sudden-eh?' WHAT? I
asked. The death of the old man.
He's not dead-he's asleep 1 ex-
claimed. Then what's he wearin'

ply; I never saw chap laid: out in
billed clothes afore, 'cept he were

She Aids the Spanish.

A titled Frenchwoman, Vicomtess de
Jauze, has shown her sympathy for Spain
in most substantial manner by opening
her private hotel to the public every after
noon for the past week, from 2 to 6
O'Clock, and charging 2 francs admission.
In this way large sum has been raised
for the benefit of the wounded Spanish
soldiers. 1t was not idle curiosity nor a
desire to aid the suffering that led the
throng to the palatial residence of Nine. de
Jauze, for her art collections are so fa-
nous that connoiseurs were glad of the
opportunity to see them under any cir
cumstances. Every piece of furniture,
every painting and every ornament has
either historic or artistic value--the con-
tributions of several centuries. The own
er of this collection of rare art treasures
has long been known to Parisians, not
only as a leader in French society, but al
so as a writer of merit. She is a careful
student of French art, and never before
has she been willing to allow the public
to even look upon her art collection.

EVACUATION COMMENCED.

SAN JUAN, Island of Porto Rico, Sept
l6.-At their meeting Thursday the
Spanish evacuation commissioners
agreed to begin the formal withdrawal
of their lines within two days. They
will evacuate Lares, San Sebastian
and Aguadilla, in the northwest of the
island, withdrawing toward the cap
ital. Under the armistice they could
not Withdraw their outposts without
permission. Detachments of the 11th
infantry will occupy this territory
and raise the American flag. The
abandonment of other outposts will
follow. The Spanish commissioners
understand perfectly that the
evacuation of the islands must
be strictly ir accordance with
the terms of the protocol, as soon
as transports can be procured. Trans
ports from the fever-infected ports of
Cuba can not, they Cy, be used to con-
vey uninfected troops from Porto Rico
The troops from Cuba and Porto Rico
are to be landed at differen. ports in
Spain. The Spanish authorities here
can not control the transports in this
respect They must await the pleasure
Of Madrid. Our commissioners realize
the force of this argument and they
are willing to make reasonable con-
cessions

1 DESPERA ASSAULT
spaniards Attempt 70 Reeaptura cape
San Juan LighthOuse--Defe cheated
by Marines and Warships.

Chicago, Aug. II. The Record spe-
5cial from its war correspondent, of
San Juan, says: ss
"A force of 800 Spanish soldiers made
a desperate attempt to retake the
lighthouse on Cape San Juan early
Tuesday morning. They were re-
pulsed by a heavy fire from Anne rican
warships and by a gallant charge Of
sailors fighting on shore. The Spanish
loss in killed and wounded was very
heavy. After the Americans gained
possession of the lighthouse recently
it was garrisoned by 40#sailors from
the monitor Amphitrite. This force
was commanded by Lieut.. Atwater.
The battle of Cape San Juan was dis
astrous for the Spaniards. One hun
dred dead bodies were strewn along
the shore where the enemy had fought
and then retreated. In the final rout
they left behind them the machine
gun and many rifles and ammunition
boxes, which were thrown away while
the Spaniards were running for their
lives. Not one American was killed,
but Cadet William H. Boardman, of
Lawrence, Mass, was so badly wound
ed that he will die. It was deemed
prudent to withdraw the garrison
from the lighthouse, but it still flies
the American flag and is guarded from
Spanish attacks by the guns of the
Amphitrite
