which were evacuated before daybreak
by the Spaniards. The latter retreated
toward Santiago de Cuba. No fatalities

all supplies are being held for their use.

say, are suffering from lack Of food.
and they also report that seventy-sev-
en- Spanards were killed and eighty

gagement on Friday last with Colonel
Woods and Colonel Young's COM

est that on this, John Greenleaf Whit

viii left $4,000 to the Amesbury Home
for Aged Women. In connection with this
comes story of romantic interest. Two
years after the death of Mr. Whittier an
aged woman made application for admis-
sion, on the ground. that ft1sFfefl- vofiths she

tan ana beautiful brunette. The house
at which she boarded was directly oDpo-
site that where Whittier boarded He
was then nineteen years old and she was
seventeen. Mr.. Whittier paid a visit TO
the home of his schoolmate She could
not invite him In, owing to opposition Of
her parents to the young mans atten-
tons, instead suggested a stroll The
young people, after adiscussion Of the sit
uation, saw the hopelessness of securing
the needed consent of their parents. and
Whatever dreams they may have cher
ished were from this hour abandoned. and
they parted with this understanding
For more than fifty years .hey met only
once. Miss Br2- married in st. Louis an

begged for assistance In his work Of
spreading the gospel Whittier feared his
old friend might be In destitute circum-
stances. and for her sake he made a lib
eral remittance. The husband kept all
this from his wife, who, he knew, would
at once return the money; but She learn
ed the fact by finding a letter of Winters
in his pocket She was indignant, but her
letter to Whittier returning the money
was couched in the most delicate terms
and gave no hint of the misery of her life
She was In occasional correspondence with
him until the year Of his death.
Their only meeting was at the HaverhiI
Academy reunion Of 1885. ffty-eight years
after the love episode of their school days.

THOMASVILLE'S MARSHAL.
Jack Spair Ready to Retire From
Police Duty After 81 Years.

Thomasville, Ca, Jan. 15.-Jack Spalr
the veteran marshal of brownsville, an
nounces that he wishes to retire. A fare
well message of an old officer is nothing
new, but Jack Spairs message is like ev-
erything else he does, being different from
and better than most such messages. 1t
is full of the most delicate feeling, and
couched in touching language. Thirty-two
years ago this man, who has since proved
faithful in minutest detail to every trust
landed in Townsville a stranger The
times were troublous then, and good men
were needed to conserve the peace The
war was just ended, and Jack Spair was
one of that vast multitude of men who
were scattered to the four corners of the
country by its fury. He came from the
other side in that great contest, but his
character as a man and a citizen soon
gained for him the respect and admira-
ton of the community. He was chosen as
a policeman, and for over twenty years
has been marshal of the city He has
been even more than simply marshal The
verdict of every one is that new man
can be found to fill the marshals office,
but no one will be found to fill Jack
Spairs PLACE. His language in his message
is well worthy to be quoted: 81 came
here a stranger, with no other training
than could be had in the forecastle of a
sailing vessel, but, among thes few things
1 had learned. We're first, orders coming
from the right quarter must be obeyed;
second that every man owes TO every 9TH
er man just and civil treatment; third,
that women and children are everywhere
entitled to protection and respect" Jack
SPAR has lived up TO these noble maxims
in the completest sense.
NJ. Sampson and George Sampson, two
Jackson street grocers in this city, were
closed by the sheriff last night, under a
claim from c. w. Cooper & Co.

The Wilbur-Kirwin Opera Company is
preparing to produce THE Fencing Mas
ter and it may go on in this city. A
Morning News man dropped into the thea
ter yesterday during a rehearsal. The
theater was dark except a few lights up
on the stage. Close down by the uniight-
ed foOtlights, like flock of sparrows
perched on a telegraph wire, sat a little
row of girls with bonnets on their heads
and sheets of music in their hands. In
the gloom their bonnets, the faces beneath
them, and the music in their hands, was
all that could be seen. They were hud-
died as close to the edge of the stage as
possible, facing the director, who sat at
the piano beneath them. This was the cho-
The Fencing Master" which is announc-
ed for next week. Back of
the group was little troop of
dancers attired in loose white waists and
short skirts. Their sleeves were rolled,
showing their bare arms and their skirts
We're tucked up. They were prac-
ucing a new dance and were
circling about the stage. whrling and
winding through it's intricate evolutons.
There was no attempt to look pretty.
Every dancer seemed to have dug up the
simpsest, briefest garment that she could
find. But even the garments of scullery
maids do not altogether hide the natural
charms of round arms and well modelled
shoulders. Indeed, whirling about the
stage their curls flying and their faces
agiow with the exercise. the dancers made
very pretty picture. Occasion
ally from sheer WEAKNESS they
dropped down upon the stage, some of
them stretching themselves at length or
stopping to play with Miss Kirwin's pugs,
chasing each other merrily, having a bet
ter time than any one. Miss
Kirwin herself was looking very
housewifely with long Bingham apron
on, busting about the stage, stopping to
settle a dispute between a pair of chorus
girls, or herself taking part in one of the
romping dances. Miss Kirwin was once
a chorus girl herself

Abbott Sent Up

sam Abbott, who at one time
edited paper here aud also did
case work on several Journals in
our city, was tried aud sentenced
to five years In the penitentiarY for
killing a negro in Shreveport a
short time back.
Abbotts friends made a strong
fight for him, even going so far to
get up petition asking the Judge,
after the jury had decided that he
was guilty of manslaughter, to give
hum a light sentence. Judge Land
in reviewing briefly the case said
that he had always tempered JUS
tice with mercy, but he would
never discriminate or be unjust.
He would rather leave the bench
than show iayoritism. The priso-
ner had plead self-defense. The
jury had found him guilty of man
slaughter after fair and impair
tial trial.
We are sorry our friend Abbott
went armed on the morning he got
into the difficulty, for had he not
been thus prepared, he would now
be free.
