There is an excellent baritone singer
Ut present engaged in London concert
halls who takes proper pride in his
voice and the town of his birth-the
metropolis. Many are the stories told
of this gentleman, and his personality
will be readily recognized by the pro-
fession. Three of the legends may bear
repetition.
The vocalist was fulfilling an engage.
ment at Nottingham, and some choice
local spirits were showing him round
town.. They considerably annoyed him
by pointing out their public buildings
and asking whether the architecture
could be equaled in London. He suffer
cd IN silence for long time, inwardly
sitting his wrath, but the last straw
came when they took him to the banks
of the Trent and asked him how it COM
pared with the Thames.
With snort of rage and without
divesting himself of a single garment
the vocalist deliberately walked slap
into the stream, wading straight to the
center, where the water was just above
his middle. To the CONSERVATION and
utter discontinue of his friends he
stamped his feet and waved his arms
In a kind of highland fling and then,
with inetfable sGorn, cried out:
"Do that in the Thames, you beg
gars"'
The same gentleman was once cross
ing Westminster bridge when he met
Ned Dixon, champion clog dancer
Ned was wrapped up in coats and com
forters suffering from sore throat.
"What'e that wrapper round your
neck tor?' asked the singer
"Got bad cold and can't work, re
piled Ned.
GA bad cold and can't work is the
privilege Of an artist" returned the
vocalist land not Of clog dancer.
Take that handkerchief off your necl.
and wrap it round your feet That's
where you want it mostn'
Our friend once got into an argu-
ment with il NAVY, who called him

A Lawyers Story.

Fram the Detroit Free PressD
One of Detroit's lawyers who does not
allow any embarrassment of facts to in
terfere with a good story, tells this one:
'It occurred in little town down in
Ohio. A strange judge was presiding at
the court house in the center of a square
where the so-called park did duty chiefly
as a pasture lot. One of the local law
yers with plenty of lungs and physical
strength was making an argument that
was literally and impressively powerful.
Just in the midst of one of his greatest
flights a donkey in the park began to
fill the air with the indescribable sounds
for which his species Is famous.
"a moment. please said the court.
with every appearance of solieitude and
sincerity. Couldn't the counsel shift his
position just trifIe? 1t would change the
angles at which the voice pierces the
walls. The echoes in this structure are
something horrible.
"As the voice of the donkey died away
in a grating squeak the lawyer dropped
into his seat as though he had been shot,
the dignity of the courtroom went out in
a roar of laughter and the judge showed
himself an actor by looking as though he
wondered what it all meant"

HoBsoN NOT MISTREATED.
The British Consul Visits Him Fre-
queptIy.

Halifax, N s. June 2G-Mr. Ramsden,
the British consul at Santiago, in response
to message of inquiry as to the condi
ton of Lieut.. Hobson and his men, now
prisoners at Santiago, cables to a corre
spondent as follows:
'Hobson is in spacious room on the
ground floor of the barracks, in which is
a large window looking on the road. The
food supplied him is good and not limit
ed to regulation rations.
"Hobson is allowed wine, but some
things are lacking in consequence of the
blockade causing dearth of many ar
ticles Hobson has repeatedly expressed
to me his satisfaction at the treatment
accorded him.
Nobody here prevents his sending a
message, but his rules of service forbid.
His men are in room on the same floor,
with a large door, in the upper part of
which are iron bars, facing the barracks
yard The food is better than that
given to the Spanish soldiers. but the
dearth of supplies causes very limited
choice.

CAVALRY HORSES IN WAR.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes OF
THE hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column swings
into line and waits, the horse grows ner-

spun out he viii tremble and sweat and

months in service he knows every bugle

the ST. Louis Republic. the rider can
feed him working al the bit with his
tongue TO get il between his teeth. As he
moves out he Will either seek TO get on
faster than he should or bolt. He cam
not bolt, however. The lines will carry
him forward. and after a minute he will
grip at the bit. lay back his ears. and one
can feel his sudden resolve 10 brave the
worst and have done with it as soon as
possible. When the troopers begin to
cheer and the sabers to fash the horse
responds. An exultation fills his heart.
he will often scream out, and his eyes
blaze and are fixed steadily in front. No
matter how obstinate he was at the start
he viii not fail as the lines carry the
last hfty feet Of space. If VolIey comes
and he is unhurt he will lower his head,

with a horse. Five troopers out of six.

saddles within a minute. ii hit in the
breast or shoulder, up go their hands
and they get a heavy fail; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they fail forward and

The horse that loses his rider and is

In his racing about he may get among

a horse which has passed through a

is also the making or unmaking of him

has been too great he will become boiter
in the face Of danger. and thereby be-

NO NEWS FROM DEWEY.
The Administration Growing More
Anxious From Day to Day.


No news from Admiral Dewey.
For more than a week now this has
been a stereotyped answer to queries,
hourly increasing in volume and anxiety
concerning the Philippines and particu-
larry the situation at Manila: This anx-
iety Is not confined to the outside public.
but, on the contrary. 1t has invaded Ad-
ministratiOn circles and is unwilllngly
participated in by the directors of the
war, all expressions of complete conf
dence in Admiral Dewey's ability to sue
cessfully meet any possible exigency, not
withstanding.
IT cannot be said that there is any un-
due apprehension owing to the absence OF
official. or. in fact, any other authentic
intelligence from the Philippines. but the
President. together with his advisers.
anxious:y awaits the arrival OF news from
Admiral Dewey.
II is now just thirty-two days since the
first expedition. commanded by Gen. An
derson, sailed from San Francisco for Ma
Mia. From San Francisco TO Hong
Kong. China. is considered a three weeks
SAIL or twenty-five days at most and TO
Manila the time should be even less. The
expedition dncn0red at EAOnOluiu three
days. and. deductfng this delay. Admi-
raj Dewey should have been re-enforced
by Gen Anderson's command at least d
week ago.
1t was lhought at first that the eXpedi-
ton would stop at the L9drone Islands,
but the Navy Department refused to con-
firm such report. and IT is believed that
the first expedition had orders to reach
Admiral Dewey as soon as possible.
Recent reports Of foreign complications
in the lslanls which, though declared i'm
probable by the Adminstra ton, ha''o not
yet been officially denied, have added tc
the general anxiety over the st,uaton
High war and navy officers and likewise
Secretary Day. affirm that there is moth
ing In the Far East to give rise to undue
apprehension and yet. they admit thal
they are in absolute ignorance Of recent
developments in the islands.
The first Philippine expedition carried
100 troops. and this force. it Is pointed
out. may be insufficient to take Manila
or even hold it against various disturbing
elements, even should it be OccC- e,
without great difficulty. II is doubtful
If Admiral Dewey would accept the sur
render of Manila with only 200 tr0o2:
to hold it.
There Is one general Interpretation Of
the absence of news from Admira
Dewey, which is that he is too busy L
indIte and dispatch war messages. HI
nearest cable station Is Hong Kong,
sail of about thirty-six hours from Ma
Mia He may be delaying his next ad
