Quick-Luneh Customers Nsw Get Checks to

Tho regular patrons OF u downtown restaurant.
which for several years has displayed religious
texts on its walls and trusted every man who
lunohod there to pay what he owed at the desk,
were shocked yesterday to find that the pro-
prietor had evidently become suspicious. A
man who stood at the door gave to each person
who entered n long. narrow strip OF cardboard.
on which were marked in coupons various
amounts. beginning at 8 cents on the lowest
coupon and running up to so cents. At the top
of the card was the instruction to pay the cash.
Ter tho amount indicated by the last coupon.
When u patron ordered any particular dish the
waiter who served him tore off q coupon, or n
Dumber of coupons, representing It's price. Tho
stub left indicated by Its lowest coupon how
much should DO paid AT tho cashiers desk.
Questions as to the reason for this check sys-
tenn were nSwered by the statement that 1t
was merely II con venlence. Obviously II was
not as convenient for tho restaurant ms the old
conscience" system. by which a man helped
himself and paid at the desk what he owed. and
the Inference was that the proprietor had be-
come just a bit suspicious OF the quality of tho
condolences of his patrons.

i'SS. mere ~ lltllS UOUDt, NOW
ever, that the main cause Of
&pain's action is the sympathies
General Lee has shown for the
Cuban sufferers.
1t is known that his active and
open sympathy with the people
who have suffered SO greatly dur
ing the present insurrection,
American citizens as well as ma
tive Cubans, has not been ac-
cepted by the Spanish officials in
Cuba as an exhibition of disin
terested oiiicialism. such as is eX-
pccted of consular officers. There
were complaints during General
Weyler's administration of his
conduct, but never in full official
form. AS Il matter Of fact, Spain
required no formal excuse for the
dismissal of a consular officer. ac-
c0rding TO the international law.
These officers are not endorsed
usually with diplomatic privileges,
and they exist entirely by the
suileranc" OF the nations to which
they are sent. In their case, it
is not necessary nor usual to re-
guest their home governments 10
recall them. They live officially
only though an cXequatur granted
ny the government to which the.
are accredited, and this may ha
withdrawn at any moment SO
Consul General Lee may oe dis
missed from his post at the pleas
urc OF the Spanish government
and this would not violate any
section of international law. But
ne is in one respect unique, il
that he is endowed with semi,
deplomic powers, by the wish of
our govcrnmet and by tho con
sent Of the Spanish government.
The request of the Spanish gov
eminent for his recall may, there
fore, be regarded as tantamouut
to Il demand for the recall Of an
Objectionable miniStcr-such, for
instance, "a was Senor Dupuy
Delome. There must be some
substantial or satisfactory reason
for such 4 demand in such cases.
and those presented against Con
eul General Lee probably were
confined TO the acts he has so far
performed with the full sanction
and approval of President Nc
kinley, the demand was not en-
tertaincd as is clearly shown in
the formal statement given out
by Assistant Secretary Day. I'm
der such circumstances, the in
cidcnt would close unless Spain
took the decisive steps of insist.
in- on General Lees recall, and
this failing, giving him his cXc-
luatur This radical course is
not expected, however, and all
the indications reaching officials
here is that Spain will not pro
ceeG further with the incident.

Memoir Of John W. Buffers.

An honored citizen Of Harrison
county has passed away over the
river dividing between the realm
of time and eternity. A citizen
who, because Of his lifetime
identification with the affairs of
the county and because of his
sterling integrity in business re-
lations, will be much missed.
F'ew,if any, took a deeper inter-
est than he, in politics and other
questions of public Importance.
In the present state Of the coun-
try, and the independence of the
Cuban people, he was intensely
interested. Few were better in
formed on allcurrent events than
he. Though not a member OF
church he was in a quiet way a
professor of religion, and during
the last few days of his life he
expressed in the most positive
manner his hope and trust in the
Lord Jesus. declaring he had no
fear whatever. He was born in
Clarksburg, February %, 1929.
The greater part of his life has
been spent at the village of
Craigmoor, where he has been
the moving spirit. Here he made
a beautiful and lovely home
for himself and family. A pro.
ductive farm and a saw and grist
mill, we'll managed furnished the
means for q comfortable living.
He was a man Of vigorous con-
stitution and well preserved, but
on the 18th of June he was
stricken with paralysis, from the
effects of which he suffered until
an early hour on July 4, 1898.
the suffering ended. The wheels
OF life stood still, the shadow
which had hung over the home
for two weeks, deepened into the
nightof death. Funeral services
by the pastor of Mt. Clare M. p.
church. were held at the resi-
dence and the remains were in
tered in the Raymond cemetery
near Quiet Dell, on the evening
of July 4th. The bereaved widow,
daughter and sons are commend
ed to the grace of Him Who has
promised to be a husband to the
widow and a father to the father
