Pride Before a Fall.

Just before recent dinner given
in honor Of a colonial magnate a
young swell, whose chief claim to
distinction seemed to be the height
of his collar and an eyeglass, ad-
dressing a stranger, said:
"Beastly nuisance, isn't it? Spoke
to that fellah over there; took him
for a gentleman, and found he had
a ribbon on his coat. Some bloom
ing head waiter, suppose. -
"Oh, no." replied the other
that Blank, tho guest Of the even
ing" .r
"Dash it all, now, is it," said the
astonished swell. "Look here, ole
fellow! AS you know everybody
would you mind sitting next me a
dinner and telling who every one
is?"
"Should like to very much, re
piled the other man, "but you see
cannot. I'm the blooming hea(
waiter. '-London Answers. .

Tho Heroes Of a Month.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes
for the October Century an article
entitled 1.-The Roll Of Honor Of the
New York Policc.' Mr. Roosevelt
says:
Perhaps the best way to convey
an idea of why we awarded medals
is to give list of the men thus ro
warded for two months. In October,
1895, we on the 1st Of the month
awarded medal to q patro]man for
peculiar ga]lantry in stopping run
away horse under circumstances
which made the act one of great
danger to himself and which DOUBT
less resulted in saving the lives of
those in the vehicle. The patrolman
thus rewarded was also later n1ado
roundsman and put in charge of
the bicycle squad, our attention
having been first called to him by
this act On the same day we gave
honorable mention, but without a
certificate or medal, to three other
officers. One had also stopped run
away horse, another had rescued a
man from drowning and the third
had arrested an insane man armed
with a revolver under circumstances
which went to show that the officer S
GOODNESS and presence OF mind saved
both himself and the onlookers from
death or injury at the hands of the
armed maniac
On the Sth Of the month we gave a
medal to an officer who had rescued
a boy from drowning by plungine 6
into the water between the wharf
and the steamer from which the boy
fell at the imminent risk of being
crushed to death between the two, {
fate from which he and the rescued
boy were saved purely by his pluck
and his skill as a swimmer. Honor
able mention was made of two othe1
ofdcers-one for rescuing q boy from
drowning and one for stopping /;
runaway horse. On the 18th yet an
other officer received honorable
mention for saving man from
drowning, and on the 22d sergean
and two patrolmen were commend
ed for the GOODNESS and skill they die
played in stopping priz eight an;
a1resting both the participants ant
the spectators, though they were al
uncommonly tough crowd all
showed immediate fight.

Done With tie "Turkle."

1T was IN small town in North
Carolina. While standing on the
street corner talking we saw an old
darky coming toward us with a fish
ing pole thrown across his left shoul
der, while in his right hand he was
carrying turtle, holding him by
the tail The old fellows face was
wreathed in smiles. for he was
thinking of the 'turkle soup he was
going to have that day for dinner

said Visions Of turtle soup are
floating through his mind Wait
till he gets up close to me, and I'll

my friend Can you do thatf'
Watch me, said he. -
Just as the old fellow got along
side voice, as it from the sky, said,
Whar you gwine ter drap me? The
old man turned his eyes heavenward
and said, Hi, who dat spoke2' Just
then the voice came again, but this
time it was Enthusiastically from the
turtle. Looking down with aston
ishment and fear, he let go his prize
saying as he did SO, Ize gwine to,

and get your turtle! No, sub. He

I'VE are not sure of anything. The thing
to DO is not TO rely on achievements of :he
past, moi to rely in predictions, but IA
every republican in this country to &c. out
and work for his party until eleatiol day.
That is the only way that we Will he SIRE

london, October 15.-The Paris CORE
,ndeut OF the Times says:
The peace negotiations are necessarily
~ being conducted less by exchange OF
,ss and statements. Senior Motero Rios,
ss dent Of the Spanish commission, doe
understand English. Consequently the
= wonis exchanged must be interpreted
Il even then they are indeflnitive till COM
lifted to paper.
The CUBAN debt question has thus already
sn laid on the table and the American
uu.as sioners have already given a peremp-
nv refusal to discuss such a principle,
hitch had been settled, as they considered,
the peace prel mlnaries. Faithful to IN
tl,ude adopted by them from the outset.
Aey seemed resolved to take their stand

ready said, the precise and concise orders
(which they brought with them; but the
kanards on their side, do not think
kemselves bound TO bow with dociity to

They returned to the charge today. II |

lifted principle which imposes on con-
aerors the burdens belonging 10 the terri
try conquered ether in their own behalf or
at OF their clients. They insisted that
would be an extraordinary course TO
Dddle Spain, already in so lamentable q
bancial position, with the Guam debt, while
prreniering TO the victor the security
|th which it should be paid.
They remarked according TO my infor-
bi.ion, that II they had asked the United
(a.es for permission to raise interest out
the customs revenues. they would nat
5aly have met with a refusal How,
len, can they be asked to leave TO the Wis
pr the pledge allowing payment vf inter-
I and yet retain the burden of the debt E?
iey observed, moreover, that, as Cuba is
fe key to the Gulf of Mexico, the United
sates will thus be able to pass the only
frrier which they had hitherto been un-
PIE to cross at will, and that is worth some
brrsice.
Hence the Spanish commissioners insist.

~, that the debt should not rest solely
SPANS shoulders. 1t is impossible to
lretell the American reply, but it is not
kely that Mr.. Day and his colleagues will

frmly advocated by the friends OF peace
pa 1ustice-that the interest should be re-
Pced to 1-2 per cent, or even TO 2 per
/ Mt and jointly guaranteed by the Span
|rds and the future rulers OF Cuba, each
Pus bearing only very slight burden and
70 bondholders being prot ,cted from loss

pm does not emanate either from Span
(rds or Americans, but there Is an inten-
|on OF backing it so as to give it some
pance Of success.
