Portsmouth is one Of the incest places
In the state Of Ohio. Fred said Every

"Not long ago went over the Ches.
apeake and Ohio road and when the
train reached South Portsmouth, which
is across the river from my native place,
quite long stop was made. Most Of the
male passengers got of the train and
walked up and down the platform. II
was after dark, and the many lights Of
Portsmouth were plainly visible. stood
looking across the river nc the city,
thinking what fine place Portsmouth
was. when a fellow passenger on the
train came alongside of me and said,

considerable pride said; That is Ports

Fried GrAssboppers and Scorpions Deiioa-

An erudite Egyptian writes in The
Revue des Revues Of the diet Of the an
cient Arabs Dog meat, 81 appears. was
one Of their favorite dishes, and young
dogs were as precious in ola times among
the Arabs as spring chickens are among
the people of today They were also
fond Of cat meat. The flesh Of black
cat had the virtues of curing them Of
the effects Of hoodoo and the evil eye.
Fried grasshoppers and scorpions also
formed very choice dish The natural
ist, Al-Djahey, who lived in the tenth
century, speaks Of his visit TO the Ara
bian tribes Of Bassorah and of his sur
prise on discovering that they did not
eat grasshoppers. Nevertheless says
he, There is nothing more delicious. "
He also says that when he went to see
his friend, the poet Roobah, he found
him seated ON the ground enjoying "a re-
past of roast rat. Afterward he had
fried lizards.
Notwithstanding the almost religious
worship which the Arabs profess for the
horse, thay ate horseAesh, but only the
flesh of draft horses, never that Of sad

very fond of black snakes, and they
hunted them at the time when the rep
tiles were about to change their skins,

Il Is said that Kidd showed no re-
pentance when he was tried, but insist
ed that ne was the victim Of malicious
persons who swore falsely against him,
and yet a more thoroughly dishonest
rascal never sailed under the black flag.
In the euise Of an accredited officer 81
the government he committed the crimes
he was sent out to suppress. He deceiv
ed his men He robbed and misused his
fellow countTymen and his friends, eac
he even descended TO the meanness Of
cheating and despoiling the natives Of
the West India islands with whom he
traded. These people were in the habit
: Of supplying pirates with food and other
neceSaries, and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing 90 pay for what they received,
for as the pirates made a practice Of
stopping st certain points for supplies
they wished of course to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas Of honor toward
people Of high or low degree. He would
trade with the natives rs if he Intended
to treat them fairly and pay foi all he
got, but when the time came for him to
depart and he was ready TO weigh an
chor he would seize all the commodi-
ties he could lay his hands on and
without paying q copper TO the distress
cd and indignant Indians he would gay
ly sail away, his black flag Haunting
derihvely in the wind.
But although In reality Captain Kidd
was no hero, he has been known for a
century and more as the great American
pirate, and his name has been repre-
sentative Of piracy ever since Years
after he had been hung, when people
heard that vessel with a black flag
or one which looked black in the dis
tsnce-fying from its rigging had beer
seen, they forgot that the famous pirat,
was dead and imagined that Captain
Kidd was visiting their part Of the coasi
In order that he might find good plac,
TO bury some treasure which it was nc
loager safe for him TO carry about.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

President Mckinley did not send his mes
sage on the Spanish American situation to
Congress on Wednesday, as was expected.
The message probably will not be trans
mitted until next Monday, and there is a
possibility that it may not be sent then in
the form in which 1t was written for trans
mission Wednesday.
There were two reasons for Withholding
the message. Consult General Lee advised
the President that 1t would be impossible TO
to get all the Americans out of Cuba before
Sunday, and they would be in grave peril II
the message were sent to Congress before
their departure from the island. The second
reason was the Presidents hope, In view OF
Developments at Madrid, that the differences
between the United States and Spain could
be adjusted without resort TO war, the Span
ish government having manifested dispo,
sition TO make concessions which it had
heretofore refused 10 consider.
The President is thought to be still the
master of the situation, as far as Congress is
concerned, and if further postponement is
considered necessary 1t may be scquiesced
in by Congress. There were expressions of
discomfort on the part of Republican mem
bers of the House at the delay In transmit.
ting the message, and a conference attended
by about fifty Republican Representatives
was bel after the adjournment OF the House
Vigorous speeches denouncing the policy OF
delay were made and it was decided to ap.
point committee to watch the situation.
A special cablegram from Madrid states
that q great and final attempt at peace is on
loot. A surprise is said TO be likely to de-
velop out of the situation. An Associated
Press dispatch from the Spanish capital gives
a report current there, but not officially con
frmed, that the United States and Spain
have arrived at satisfactory settlement
The Queen Regent has practically taken
the direction OF affairs out of the hands OF
her ministers, and 10 her course there is
hope of peace The staff OF the United
States legation has lett Madrid and Minis
ter Woodfords family is going to Biarritz,
France.
1t is semi-officialy announced at Rome
that the Spanish government has accepted
the principle of an armistice with the Cuban
insurgents as proposed by the Pope.
Horatio 8. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban
junta, says the Cubans would under no cir
cumstances accept Intervention without
recognition OF their independence. He also
charges that the government of Spain and
the United States had secret understand
ing TO force autonomy on the insurgents.
Financial men regard the views of the junta
as biased by considerations Of bonds issued |
with promise to pay after independence is
assured the Cuban government.
An ominous calm, according to the latest
advices, prevails in Havana, and there are
grave fears that riot may be started at any
time. A war fever has caught the city, and
the volunteers hold frequent drills before
throngs of people.
