A Premium On Brains.

All who have watched the progress OF
the recent conflict at Manila will recog-
nize that the fight was won by coinbi-
nation OF brain and courage. All the
sighting was done by the heads on our
ships. Muscle is all very WE'LL but it
sad very little to do with it. Brains did
the work. Every man fought and worked
with his head. Electricity, steam, or
compressed air did the hosting OF am
munition, the loading OF guns and the
working of the helm. The sinking Ct
Sthe Spanish ships was done by the press
ing OF a button that could have been
efficiently pressed by baby. From the
commander of the fleet to the man
working the pneumatic hoists, every
man worked with his brain. Els
courage kept him cool and bis brain in
working order. Spain, to beat this
nation, needs the sort OF brain that in
vented the monograph, the telephone
and numerous other inventions, for that
kind OF brain won at Manila. Amer-
scans have got inventive faculties, and,
while they may be equal to fight anyone
IN the old-fashon way, they can etart
~cheerfully in and invent new WAYS Of
winning on very short notice. In fact,
1he Yankee inventiveness is known the
world over Just this Kind OF brain is

"GooDBYE, My LOVER, GOODBYE.
A dispatch to the N. Y. Herald, dated
Havana, the 26th ult., says: Great ac-
tivity prevails at the Havana arsenals.
Eight light draught gunboats used
during the instruction for patroling
the shores and the river are being dry
docked preparatory to sending them
home or selling them. The Alfonso
XIII, the Neuva Espano and the
Diego Valesquez, now at different ports
of Cuba, will come to Havana to await
the coming of the auxiliary cruisers
Meteoro and Rapido, which will arrive
about December 10. Columbus ashes
will be placed aboard the Rapido, and
about December Is the fleet will pro-
coed to Spain. Besides those ships
mentioned, the feet which will cross
the Atlantic at that time will comprise
the Condo de Venadito, the Infanta
Isabel, the Marquis de la Ensenado,
and these torpedo boats Marques de
Molinas, Martin Yanez Pinzon, Alon-
20 Yanez Pinzon and Filipinas. The
first stop will be made at Martinique,
where the ships will be coaled and
where honor will be paid to the men,
DRY Of Columbus by the French. The
same thing will be done at the Cape
Verde islands and the fleet will then
proceed to Cadiz as usual.

Jockeying in the Prize Ring.

The Sharkcy-C orbett fight, which
took place in New York city, last
week, adds another chapter to the dis
gustiuc record Of the prize ring. 1t
seems that the hig sailor had it all his
own way after the first round. Dur
ing the ninth round, McNcv. second
oil Curbctt, broke through the ropes,
protesting that Sharkcy had trans
guessed some rule OF the ring. This
act i, "i itself, i an infraction OF prize
ring etiquette which ju>tiies dcclar-
alton OF foul against his principal; and
tho impression therefore prevails that
it was prompted hy the rapidly APP
preaching humiliation oi the cr>t-
while champion. Referee Kelly I'M
mcdiatcly declared Sharkcy the win
ncr and all bets off, declaring that he
would not he party to such a palpa-
bic fraud IS McNey's action would
have resulted in had rrizc-ring tech
nicalitics been observed. He said ::
Il called the bets Off because ! be-
licvcd the action Of McNcy was paid
/ for by somebody who had bet on Shar-
key and did not propose to decide
public money on palpable fake. |
would not be a party to such fraud"
Thus, it will be seen that exhibitions
of the "manly art" have dcgenerated,
if they ever had an honorable stand
ing, to about the same plane as the
tricks of the horse jockey, and the con-
scicntious better has about as much
chance OF backing his Judgment in a
legitimate manner as the man who
puts up his money on the little joker
under the nutshell.
The press account says that the bout
was witnessed by the largest and most
representative gathering OF sporting
men that ever gathered to see ring
contest, and in enumerating some OF
its prominent participants in betting
says that bankers and brokers of prom
inence, lawyers of note. and business
men representing nearly every phaze
OF trade, held animated conversations
near the ring-side, one wcll-known
member of the produce exchange TAX
ing the Sharkey end OF the largest wa
gers.
Besides the principal match, several
other bouts of lesser sluggers came off,
and one mans jaw was smashed" by
the sledge-hammer blow of his antag-
onist.

The Eastern Storms.

The weather conditions all over the
East and portions of the South and
West, during the latter part of Novem-
Der, have been unprecedented. Snow,
rain and billiards. have prevailed over
a larger scope Of country than is
usually affected simultaneously by the
same climatic conditions. The last
day of the month seems to have
reached the eliminating point for
marine disaster. The deep snow of
the preceding week was succeeded in
New York and Boston by hurricane
which blockaded railroads and de-
stroyed much shipping, the latter dis
aster accompanied by great loss of
life. The chief shipwreck reported
was the loss of the steamer Portland
off Cape Cod, involving the sacrifice OF
about $50 lives. Scores of small craft
and some larger were wrecked and the
total loss of life cannot fall short of
200 persons, and it is feared this mum.
Der will be feariully augmented by
reports at points now shut off from
communication. 1t is known that Sc
vessels have been wrecked and 40 are
stranded with scarcely a chance of
their being saved. The Atlantic sea-
board for hundreds of miles is strewn
with wreckage and bodies of victims
are picked up at frequent intervals.
No storm of like severity or attended
by such disastrous results has been
known since 1852.
Advices from Denver, Col, are to
the effect that the storm south and
west of that city, was the worst known
in many years. Snow fell from two
to ten feet deep over large portion
of the State. Trains over many
roads were tied up or delayed.

school-boy life, is as hearty and whole
some tale OF school-boy ingenuity
and adventure rs one could wish to
read, and, while complete in itself,
leaves the appetite keen for more of
the same sort. The first of Miss Tar
bells articles on the "Later Life of

beginning than the first of Mr.. Kip

full sanity and tenderness of his SUI

INHERITED TALENT.-Th other
night, in Pittsburg, at the Alvin thea.
ter, the Rivals was on, with the great
10. Jefferson in the leading role of Bob
Acres. He was taken ill, and his son,
~ years of age, William Winter Jefler-
son, played the part successfully. The
young mans striking resemblance to
the old, and the close copy of the
fathers manner and style by the son
made a decidedly good impression.
The verdict seemed general that with
little more experience to give ease
and finish, William will prove fitting
success to Joseph. Another son, Jo-
seph, Jr., took the part of David, and
made the most of it. A third SON.
Thomas, it may be noted likewise, has
successfully played the elder Jeffer.
sons master role, Rip Van Wrinkle.
