ANIMALS IN HERALDRY.

Of old were not usually observant nat

Andy O'Dea, who is to assist in the

has had his first conference with the

O'Dea says that there is as vet moth

stays at all. He says he is naturally
confident Of his ability to teach his

CHALLENGE FOR KEANE.
The American Boy Is Being Got After
BY English Sprinters.

Tommy Keane, the American boy who
has been achieving such signal victories
in the Sheffield handicap sprints, has
received challenges from w. S. Mills
and J. V. Cunliffe, both noted English
sprinters Mills requires five yards
start in 200 yards while Cunliffe, who
has not been running for some time. is
content with a single yard in the hun
bred. Keane has offered to give Gun
life one yard start in 40. and this will
probably lead to a match.

CARLlST MOVEMENT.
The Civil Authorities in Spain are Exsrcis-
ing the Greatest Vigilance.

London, Nov. 3O.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard. teIegraphing
Monday by way Of the Spanish from
tier, says:
THE government apprehensive as TO
the effects of signing the peace treaty,
has ordered the military and civil au-
thorities to maintain the greatest vigil
ance over kilograms and telephones.
A strict censorship Of newspapers
is continued throughout the country.
and special severity is shown with re-
spect to articles abiding to the peace
negotiations.
'Unfavorable information has been
received, even from official sources
concerning the Carlists' propaganda
and preparations. which are decidedly
assuming serious proportions. FL
Epoca says that Carlism is spreading
not only in Biscay. but in Guaipuzcoa
Ia Basque province bordering on France,
and in places hitherto tranquil The
Bilbao papers report official precau-
tons there, owing to the smuggling
of muskets.
Other papers assert that the Car
lists are openly Offering in Madrid and
elsewhere commissions for officers and
daily pay at three pesetas for volun-
Ieefs. Ihere Is much anxiety in finan-
cial and political circles lest the Car
lists seize the opportunity which is
presented by profound disappointment
in the country at the loss of the Philip
pines, after the government had I'M
wisely led the nation to believe that
the archipelago would be retained
THE Carlists do not conceal their in
tention to issue a manifesto, though
the government has issued orders for
the severe repression of any disturb
ance. Many noted civil and military
Carlist leaders have been abroad for
some time, and there is no doubt the
Carlists have collected funds in Spain,
If not abroad. l am assured, however.
that their propaganda in the army has
been unsuccessful among disconnected
reDatriated soldiers who We're expected
to become willing recruits"

George y. r. Houston private in the
Seventh infantry regulars wound
ed in the action q FL Caney told Of mis-
experiences in the hospitals at
SioOney. He said that when the wounds
came to be dressed il was found that
the primary bandages had been lost. He
said that in the general hospital at
Siboney the wounded men suffered ex-
tremely. They suffered on the way
owing to the sprngless wagons having
no straw in the bottoms. In the hos
pitfalls the greatest difficulty was in get
ting anything to eat Of proper nature
for men in their condition. Canned
food could be bought, but those who
had no money had to go without. The
only food issued was the canned beef
and tomatoes. These were issued az
rations, but the delicacies and oranges
had to be purchased Witness testified
to hearing the men call out for water
and then hearing the nurses i'm the

reply. One Of the wounded died after
calling for water In this way. He added
that after being IA days at Siboney. he

Ate the Card In = Ham sandwich.

On Sunday evening a party of
poker experts were seated in a prom
inent up town hotel lobby, and some
good stories were the outcome. One
of the veterans at thumbing the
pasteboards related an incident in
his own career where he had been
dealt six cards.
1T was at critical stage of the
game, said the old sport, "and
when / looked at the cards they
were of the most needful variety" "
What did you do with the sixth
cardi" queried an attentive listener.
II ordered ham sandwich" was
the reply, land. concealing the card
between the bread and meat, ate the
whole outfit.
When the laugh over this story
was ended, another member of the
party told of jack pot which was
opened on a pair of mines. In the
draw the holder of this pair took in
another nine spot and cleaned up
the table pretty thoroughly with
three mines. When it came to a show
down, the query was made, What
did you open With"
Innocently enough the holder of
the big hand acknowledged pair
OF mines. His hand was claimed to
be foul one, and the pot was di-
vided among the players according
to their bets. This proceduFb did
not suit the jack pot opener, and he
left the table, denouncing all pres
ent as sharpers and swindIers.-

Upon the flower of thy white innocence"

One sole sweet symphony have earth and star
And but one song the living and the dead"

Hark to the sigh of the reflowered tomb,
"Ah, love. love. loVS tpr spring goes by. soss

Rest in the shadow OF memorial hours,

The following is the twenty
third plank of the platform
adopted by the Texas Demo-
Gratis at Galveston on the Sd:
We favor the enactment of a
statute prohibiting all railway
companies from giving free
passes or free transportation to
nyone not in the employ of
the same.
Such should have been made
the law years ago. More fraud
and corruption is carried on
through the practice of rail
roads giving free passes to
members Of the legislature and
state and county officials than
by every other means. Why
do the railroads give passes to
members Of the legislature if il
is not for the purpose of infiu-
encing their votesi If this is
not the purpose, why don't
they give them passes after
their term of Office expires
The railroads care nothing fol-
the average member of any leg
lslature, but experience has
convinced them that by the free
use of passes and by giving
free excursions they can secure
Legislation in their interest O,
prevent the passage of laws
controlling them and prevent
ing them from imposing upon
the people. The Democrats of
Texas have acted wisely in in.
sertlng that plank in their plat.
form. The people have clam
ored for such a law for many
years, but the railroad lobbyist
with his free pass has prevent

ACQUIRING TERRITORY.

Every foot of territory. ex-
cepting Alaska. that has been
acquired by the United States
has been acquired under Demo
cratic administrations and by
Democratic votes in congress;
yet you find a great many good
Democrats in this day and time
holding their hands mp in holy
horror at the very idea of fur
ther expansion of our territory,
being frightened into Mysteries
at the thought of an imaginary
imperialism. All of that vast
scope of country now known as
California, New Mexico, AFizo-
Ma and Nevada was taken from
Mexico under like conditions
that we are now preparing to
take Cuba. Porto Rico and
coaling stations In the Ladrone
and Philippine islands from
Spain. We were forced into a
war with Mexico over the an
nexation of Texas. The result
of that war was not only Che
annexation Of Texas, but the
ceding by Mexico the above
mentioned vast territory as an
indemnity to the Uuited States.
Spain, by her insults, inhuman-
ity, barbarlties and blowing up
Of the battleship Maine brought
on the war with the United
States. Size has no money
with which to indemnify this
government or credit whereby
she can borrow the money.
She has proved herself incapa-
BILE of properly governing the
inhabitants of her islands, and
the higher instincts of human
ity, if nothing else, appeals to
this government for the con-
quest and protection of those
islands from Spanish rule. No
other honorable course is left
10 this government but to take
charge Of those islands and use
hem for the benefit and pros
perity of all concerned.

GENERAL CORBIN says the
number of men. in his opinion,
that will be required in Cuba,

declared will be about O,OOO.
That number would not require,

state the number of men re-

The Spanish forces in Porto
Rico turn robbers as they fee
before the American invading
army, and the homes of citi-
zens. whether Spaniards and
loyal to the government, or in
surgents, are sacked and the
men. women and children are
driven into the streets. All
sorts of insults and abuses are
heaped upon them. They rob
the inhabitants of all valuables
and money and seize the mu-
niclpal funds. The citizens
stand them off the best they
can. and are appealing to the
Americans for protection.
