REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press: A husband is a thing
which is always away just when its wife
wants to consult it.
Whenever a girl tells a. new man that
she never has known what love is, she
tries to blush.
There are some ideas which a woman
can never express properly except with
her mouth full of hairpins
When a girl acts absorbed and inter-
ested in another girls love condolences
she is only doing it so the other one will
when it is her turn.
If Indian squaws were civilized they
would keep pictures of men thrown
around their rooms with things written
on the back instead of scalps.
a girls heart can generally be sliced
up so it will go around among any num-
Der like "a pie when there is company and
your wife is afraid the children might
cry.

Last Meeting This Year.

The last regular session for this year
of the Aglaia was held at Mrs Corlew's,
on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. George
Matson discoursed ably ''Thes Need and
Work of the Trade School, The keynote
of the discussion was that each one is
able, through a. well organized trade
school, to learn one of the important
lessons of life, to "'idealize the real,
even if he cannot realize the ideal" The
apprentice system of earlier days was
contrasted favorably with the lack Of
trade training of today, but unfavor-
ably with the trade school. Mrs. L. b.
Adams favored the club with two
Scotch songs, and 1.-TWO of the mem
bers' sang "Bide a Wee" The dancing
of the Virginia reel by some of the club,
and the singing of Aud Lang Syne"
by all, were pleasant innovations.

RICHEST PRIZE YET.
Steamer Panama Captured by the
Lighthouse Tender MangrOve.

Steamer Panama Captured by the
Lighthouse Tender MangrOve.
KEY WEST, April 26-1:30 p. m.-The
lighthouse tender Mangrove puffed proudly
into Key West harbor this morning with
the richest prize of the war thus far. The
captive was the Panama. Captain Quevedo,
a big transatlantic liner, and an auxiliary
cruiser of the Spanish navy, which has
been plying of late between New York and
Havana. She had twenty-nine passengers,
including three women, one Frenchman and
one Mexican and q crew of seventy-two.
AS the Panama carried two twelve-pound-
ers she could easily have annihilated the
little Mangrove, and as the latter came
into harbor with her prize, there was not
craft but saluted her with rousing cheers
The Mangrove, under Lieutenant Com
mander William H. Everett, who came
down from the photographic Office a few
weeks ago to take her. was cruising along
the Cuban coast, navigated by Ensign
Palmer shortly before o clock last even
ing, about twenty miles north of Havana
At 5:45 p. m. she sighted the Pan
anna. The only other ship of the
fleet in sight was the battle ship
Indiana, three miles to the rear. Lieut.
Commander Everett scented prize, and
scudded towards the stranger. When the
latter came within range, a shot from the
Mangrove's twelve-pounder was sent across
her bows, but the Spaniard ignored the
challenge and went on. Another shot fol-
lowed without result, but the Mangrove was
drawing nearer the stranger, who calmly
proceeded on her course, apparently without
any intention of running away. When the
third shot was fired the Mangrove was
within hundred yards of the Panama and
Lieutenant Commander Everett shouted to
the deck officer that if she did not surren-
der he would sink her. The Mangrove's Of
hcers admit that they expected the enemy's
twelye-pounder to open on them In re-
sponse to the threat. but the Spaniard
promptly came to. Ensign Dayton, the
senior officer of the Mangrove, boarded the
prize.
The battle ship Indiana had seen the cap
ture and meanwhile drew up TO the Man
grove. giving her q lusty cheer. Lieutenant
Commander Everett reported to Captain
Taylor. of the battle ship, and the latter
put a prize crew on board the captive, con-
sisting Of Cadet FaIconer and fifteen ma
