babel in New York.

From the New York Times.)
Doubts as to the wisdom of an imme-
date invasion of Cuba exist IN many
quarters, and they are supported by alle-
cations that deserve thought, but the
man in the street" labors under no uncer-
tainty. His voice is all for war of the
most vigorous sort, and his confidence in
the nations power-and luck-is endless.
Whoever wants to get the views of the
man in the street should stand near one
of the newspaper bulletin boards and
harken to him. A listener who was post
ed early yesterday morning in front Of
the announcement that a movement Of
troops from Tampa had begun heard the
same idea expressed in many languages.
Numberless speakers of English came
along, stopped, read and exclaimed: AZ
lastr'
The Germans said, ''Endlich!'
The Frenchmen said, 'Enfin"'
The Jews said, "Bessoff.'
The Russians said, 'Konetchnov'
The Italians said, "Finalmenter'
The Swedes said, Till sistr'
The Hungarians said. "Vegrer'
One man said, "Acherim!' He was an
Arab.
And there was one who muttered "Por
ultimo!" as II he didn't like it. He was
a Spaniard.
There were other New Yorkers on their
way to the bulletin board, but the lis
tener didn't wait for them, fearing to be
confused.

ArrEMrrs SUICIDE.
A Dependent Old Soldier Tries to
End His Life.

A Dependent Old Soldier Tries to
End His Life.
Karl Olesen, an old soldier. Is at Prov
idence Hospital with bullet from a
52-caliber revolver in his head. Fears
are entertained that he will not recover.
Olesen attempted suicide last night in
his room at 120 Maryland Avenue south
west. He has been an invalid ever since
his release from Libby Prison. at the
close Of the war. He is paralyzed on
one side, and recently injured his hip by
a fall. His sufferings for several days
has been intense, and more than once he
has threatened to kill himself.
Letters recently received from sister
In Norway have added to his desponden-
cy. and last night he attempet to exc
cute his often-repeated threat The peo-
pie in the house were startled at 10
o'clock to hear pistol shot In Olesen's
room. Mr.. Statter. with whom the old
soldier has resided for the last ten
years. rushed to his room and found OLE
sen lying on the bed with a bullet wound
in his head. Policeman Cornwell was
notified, and he summoned an ambulance,
which conveyed the injured man to Prov
idence Hospital. The wound was dress
ed. but, as the bullet is stfif in the mans
head, the physicians regard his condi-
ton as very serious.

Good Business Man.
(From the Detroit Free Press.)


A certain wealthy man of this city has
set his nephew up in business three times
but the young man lacks something es-
sential to success in the mercantile line.
and failed with each effort When he
came with the fourth request for finan-
cial backing the uncle demurred.
"You must learn to lean on yourself. /"
he said. II can't carry you all your
life 1t would be an unkindness in me to
keep supplying you with money to carry
on enterprises that invariably end in as
signment I'll tell you what I'll do. You
owe a good deal, as the result of that
last failure. Pitch in on your own hook,
and so It alone till you pay those debts
on. When you've done that I'll give you
q check for all they amount to. Such
an experience would do you more good
than all the money I could give you
noY."
Three months later the nephew walked
in with every claim receipted in full, and
the uncle was delighted as he gave the
promised check.
"That's something like It. now, and l
warrant you feel all the better for the
hard training. How did you manage,

Now the old gentleman is telling that

PRAISE FOR THE OREGON.
Her nui1dcrs Say She Is Queen O
the Sen

THE San Francisco-of course take
pride in the San Francisco said her
builder, Mr.. Irving Scott, today at the
ferent. The Oregon is battleship, and
she is the boss of the sea-"
Mr.. Scott is the president of the Union
Iron Works. at San Francisco. and build
er of the Oregon. He was enthusiastic
over the battleship's phenomenal per-
formance in the unbroken run from San
Francisco to Florida. Mr.. Scott is now
en- route to St. Petersburg. where he will
hold important conferences touching the
building for the Russian government of
ships similar to the Oregon. Leaving
Washington Sunday afternoon, he will
sail from New York Tuesday.
I'm the design of the Oregon" contin-
ued Mr.. Scott, may be found one ex-
PLANTATION of her remarkable run. In the
skill and ability of the engineering de-
partment of the ship; in the bravery and
pluck of Capt. Clark. who has confidence
in his engines, engineers and men, and
in the confidence of the men in him may
be found all other explanations needed" :"
What is the naval lesson of the Ore
gon and her rum
1T means that navy to be great in
fighting capacity must have great coal
capacity. Why. for example, look at the
Monterey. She is as perfect a fighting
machine as can be built for the money.
but she carries only 800 tons of coal.
whereas her displacement should be in
creased so that she could carry 500 tons.
Her turre:s, too. should be of the same
size. Then she would be a match for a
battleship. Now that she is to be towed
from Mare Island to Manila, care should
be taken to keep her full of coal, so that
in case the hawser should be slipped she
can stand out and fight herself out of
trouble"
Mr.. Scott was frank to disapprove of
the plan of the Government in ordering
the four single-turret monitors of only
$500 tons displacement each, and Of COM
paratively small coal carrying capacity,
while even the Monterey has 1900 tons

THE TWO MULLIKINS.
An Incident of the Adjutant Gen.
erals once.

Colonel James Clayland Mullikin went
to the adjutant generals office yesterday
to get his commission as major in the
commissary department The adjutant
general was glad to see him and told him
his services were needed at once. The
proper clerk handed him his commission,
which was already made out. The colonel
took it and read il Il am not the man
named in that commission" he said
That is H. Clay Mullikin. I am James
c. Mullikin."
An investigation followed. which dis
closed that H Clay Muilikin had been
confirmed by the Senate; that H. Clay
Mulikin had been appointed by the Pres
ident, and there was a letter on file sign
ed by Senators Wellington and McComas
requesting the President to appoint H.
Clay Mullikin, chief commissary of SUBJ
sfstence, with the rank of ma jor So the
colonel went home without his commits
sion Now the question is Who is H.
Clay Mullikin? James C. Mullikfn has
son named Clayland Mullikin, who is the
States attorney for Talbot County. Nd
If Colonel James C. Mullikin is the man
intended, the work will all have to be
done over again.

This Baby Was Lucky.

From the New York Journal.)
"Fell four stories?" said the ambulance
surgeon, looking at the unconscious baby.
We'll, what was the use of sending for
me?"
Mrs Fanny Goldstein, who lives at No.

on the druggists floor and seized the hem
of the surgeons coat.

born, and 1 wouldn't believe he's dead,
He's eighteen months old. already. and a
regular little man. He climbed out on the
fire escape all by himself and fell off. But
he amt dead. Just look!'
Seeing that he could not escape. the sur
geon bent over the small Joseph Gold
stein. He looked startled. There was a
little blood on the baby's lips, but closer
examination showed that the youngster
had only bitten his tongue. The doctor
prodded him gently in the stomach and
Joseph opened his eyes with an indignant
whimper.
There's nothing the matter with him" :"
said the doctor. after some more prodding
II told you my boy was lucky" said
Mrs. Goldstein triumphantly as she car
ried him off.

A wartime Tragedy.

From the Atlanta Coastitution.)
He was an unsuccessful war author and
he had been vainly trying to induce the
bank officials to consent to the renewal
of his ninety-day note, and when he
reached home he was sad and low-spir-
tied. But he found this little memoran-
dunn under his plate.

just now. -iF~.e
..P. S.-Put so under the red handker-
chief box on my bureau for me-"
He went over the above items carefully
and prayerfuily, and when he had fully
mastered them he penned these lines:

stating that the post utterly disapproves

elsewhere, for the Lafayette Post organi-
zation or its regiment. Inasmuch as the
Ladies Auxiliary has for some time

formance for Company L, to be given at

was ever coarser in tone than this organ
of the comfortable classes who seem
to be of most evil disposition and with un
genio that is simply insupportable. There
is a class of idle rich across the seas in
Merrie England who have no sympathy
with anything pertaining to the worka-
day world; they shifted at the good peo-
pie who wanted England to interfere in
Armenia where the Sultan had his slaugh-
ter pen in operation; they never have one

When the Day of Judgment comes (and
It will arrive on schedule time), these self
