professional hobo who Will not work if
he can. The remedies suggested were:
a greater cultivation of the spirit of
content a cooperative plan of work

PETE PAYS HIS LICENSE.
he Was Selling Beer at 113 Kansas
Avenue.

Tom Pete runs an innocent looking
candy, cigar and restaurant cOmbina-
ton at 113 Kansas avenue. The dining
tables in the rear, the candy counter at
one side in the front and the cigar coun-
ter on the opposite side did not excite
Detective KessOn's suspicious, but the
customers that frequented the place
did not look as if they had a sweet
tooth or as if they would go so often for
cigars.
So the detective stopped there one day.
He stopped the next, and after three or
four visits, he was certain that Pete
was selling liquor contrary to the law
Yesterday Detective KessOn arrested
Pete in his place. He found there two
barrels of bottled beer They were in
the rear, where small counter served
as a bar. Pete was taken to the city
prison, where he deposited 800 as a
guarantee that he would appear in pO-
lice court this morning to answer to the
charge.
Pete did not appear and his money
will be turned over to the city. Pete
will not be arrested again until he has
had time to accumulate another 800.

SIGSBEE'S RETURN.
His Neighbors Decorate Their Homes
in His Honor.


Washington, March 29.-Capt. Sigs-
bee of the wrecked steamer Maine ar
rived in Washington this morning from
Havana at TAI o'clock. He was &C
cOmpanied by Paymaster Ray, Chief
Engineer Howell. Naval Cadet Holden
and DIR. Heneberger. The latter left i'm
mediately for his home in Virginia The
captain was Immediately driven TO his
home, 1892 Riggs Place. The captain 3
neighbors on both sides of the square
on which he lives, had prOfusely decor
ated their residences with flags and
bunting and many of his friends and
fellow officers had sent large bouquets
or American beauty roses and flower
designs of ships, anchors, etc, as an ex-
preston of their friendship and esteem.
At half past ten the captain went to the
navy department to report his arrival
and in the course of a conversation he
said that he had not yet received any
assignment to duty, nor did he know
what command would be given him. He
would be ready. however. as soon as he
could get his wardrobe replenished, to
go anywhere and perform any duty
that might be given him. He had not
yet made any formal written report to
the department on the loss of the Maine
but would do so as soon as he had lit
tie time a his disposal.
As to the cause of the wreck, Captain
Sigsbee said that he could add nothing
to his testimony before the court of in
quiry, which had already been pub
lished. The Spanish officials were max
ing an inquiry into the cause of the dis
aster but what their conclusions were,
If any, had been arrived at, he did not
know.
A few divers under the direction of
some nOn-cOmmissiOned officers were
working leisurely about the wreck but
he had understood that the court was
paying special attention to outside mat
tiers. They had found, he had heard,
that they were no dead fish found in
the harbor after the explosion, also
that the explosion did not create such
disturbance of the water as might have
been expected had the force come from
the outside. However, this was only
hearsay. he having no knowledge OF
their proceedings.
The captain said that as every one
knew, the general feeling among Span
iards in Havana, was bitter against
this country, but he did not know
whether the proposed sending of gov
ernmental aid would meet with any Sc
riOus opposition. The captain said he
knew very little of the general situa-
ton and therefore he had formed no
opinion as to whether this country was
likely to become involved in a war with
Spain.
Residents of Havana, he said, knew
little or nothing of what was occurring
in Madrid, beyond what is reported in
American newspapers. The captain
seemed in good health and spirits, con-
sidering the intense strain that had
been upon him during the last six
weeks and felt himself physically fit
to perform any duty which should be
ad tn
