Owing to the fact that our public
schools open Monday, the 18th, it
has been decided to postpone the

taiument. Do not forget that this
is one of the avenues through which
the revenue comes to our library,
and this assistance is much needed.

goodly number of them, some of

HAVANA IN DESPAIR
FOOD GROWING scARcER DAY BY
DAY
The Blockading Fleet Doing It's Work
Well-Spanish Troops Crazy for
Chance to Fight

LONDON. July 30.-The Havana CORE
spondent of the Times In a letter dat ed
July 10 paints a terrible picture of the des-
pair that is falling upon the city in the alb
sence of news from the outside world, in
the face of the advancing prospects of a
famine and in the daily watching for the
Spanish feet which never comes. 1t says
wild rumors are afloat. The more timid
people imagine all kinds of disasters and
foretell terrible things while, always few
miles off and steaming to and fro are the
vessels of the blockading fleet with the IL
tention to starve Havana into submission,
for that, apparently, is the safe and GER
tain, If not the very heroic. American plan.
THE attitude Of the population under
calamity is indeed admirable, as is also
that of the troops, despite the absence of
pay and their scarty rations. but they are
eating their hearts out in helpless, dull
rage because hey cannot get at and try
conclusions with the ever visible but una.-
tainable foe.

name soldier. stands out noble figure in

The Manila Cockpit

Manila's principal occupation is general
devilishness. The diversion is the cock
fight The pit is as big as a circus. Every
thing being relative, it's size may best be
Judged by approximation. The Havanese
Valla de Gallos holds 1900 people. That of
Manila holds 1000. The contests succeed
each other at the rete of hundred per
fiesta. Some last a whole second some
ten minutes. The rules cle not intricate,
but the birds are very smart. The smallest
ars the gamest. Occasionally they display
thrust. a feint and a fierce, which are
quite sale darmes. The ma tches are vari-
ous There Is that which is known as al
cotejo, and which is In accordance with the
length of tho spur. There is al)nso. by
weight. There is also tapados without pre-
liminaries, and de cuchilla, with artificial
spurs. AS a spectacle the function is not
elevating. AS d medium for the exchange
of coin it is less monotonous than fan
tan an6 quicker than monte. 1--WE should
neither blame nor approve" som. one
somewhere sagely stated; 1--WE should OBJ
serve" Merely, then, by way of observa-
ton, 1t may be noted that, considered as
an annexable institution, the Manila cock
pit is one for which this country could not
go further with any chance of faring
worse.-Saltus in Golfers Weekly.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
The Mysterious Murder of Man and
Woman in Idaho

KENDRICK, Idaho, July 29.-One of the
most shocking and mysterious tragedies
ever committed in the Potlatch country
took place today at a building known as
the Brewery" about one and half miles
east of Kendrick, resulting in the burning
of the building and the remains, charred
almost beyond recognition, of Mrs. e. f;
Maraseck, wife of the proprietor of the
Kendrick market, and Nicholas Gehlen, the
owner of the building. The building was
first discovered on fire at o'clock this
morning by farmers. There was giant
powder about. While the men were watch
ing the building burn two shots were heard,
which it is now believed We're the ones that
caused the death of the occupants. Wheth-
er there was a fight between them over
business affairs that they were interested
in. resulting in the murder, has been COW
cred up by the fire, which burned the
forms so that it is impossible to tell.
That the fire was premeditate ted is shown
from the fact that it was started in the
west end of the building while his living
rooms were in the east end.
The body of Mrs. Maraseck when d4scov-
cred had the head and lower limbs burned
entirely off and Gehlens was about in the
same condition.

Smith Whips Green

NEW YORK, July 29.-After hard fight,
which lasted twenty-five rounds, "Mysterj-
BUS Billy" Smith was given decision over
George Green of California at the Lenox
Athletic club tonight. Smith was the
stronger and better throughout the fight.
and outfought and outpointed his opponent
n every round. Smiths work at close
quarters was very good. Green received a
severe hammering, and bore it manfully.
He was wonderfully game and had no ex-
cuse to offer when the fight was over Ho
declared that he was heavier when he met
and defeated Smith at Carson City mmedi-
lately after the Fitzsmmons- Corbett con-
lest, and said that he was stronger then
than now.
AS the men retuired to their corners there
were loud cries of Smith wins" "Give it to
Smith," and Referee White decided in favor
OF Smith. Announcer Harvey told the spec
tators that the referee had given the de-
cision to Smith on points.
