A Queer Man

Brooklyn, remarkable already for
many things, comes forward with
one Of the queerest characters on re-
cord.
He is the Rev. DR.. James Farrar,
whofor several years has been pastor
of the First Reformed church of
Brooklyn he receives salary Of
$4,000 and is very popular with his
congregation and the public general
~ To the great regret ofhis church
Dr.. Farrar announces his determina-
tion to resign. He does not do this
because be has secured better place
and larger salary. On the con-
trary he leaves his present pastorate
and gives up $4,000 salary and a
fashionable church to serve village
congregation for nothing.
he eintends to remove to bis hum
bic country home at Idlewild, Ches.
ter county, Pa, and take pastorate
in a community which does not be-
lieve in paid missionary.
DR.. Farrar has joined the "Keswick
movement" :" SO named from a town
in England, where preachers are said
to preach without pay, and claim
that the rule is enjoined by the
scriptures very distinctly and without
qualification.
Of course the Brooklyn preacher
does not claim that it is possible to
live without money in this age, but
he does claim that be can live on an
income of $500 year and
support himself and family in
the country, and thas when be has
arranged his private affairs so that
this sum will be practically assured
to him, he will take up his new work.
This story seems to be out of date.
How did such man as Or. Farrar
happen to live in the nineteenth CEN
tury?
There is clearly something the mat.
ter with him In the days of the
apostles such conduct as his would
not have been wonderful, bat in these
days it arouses suspicion as to the
mental equilibrium of the man who
is guilty of it.-At|anta Journal

Ruiz Another Andre.

As the facts about the tragic death
of Col. Ruiz come to light they strong.
ly suggest a parallel to fhe melancholy
fate Of Major Andre, whose execution
as spy was ordered, though sadly and
reluctantly. by Gen. v ashingtoo. 1t
now appears that the errand of Raiz,
as proved by documents upon his per-
son, was to offer to the Cubau leader,
Col. Araugureu, a bribe of 500. 900
in cash aud high Office in the propos-
ed uew adm inistratiop Of Cuba. in re-
turn for his desersion of the cause Of
independence and the acceptance Of
autonomy. 10 addition. the proposal
involved the corruption of another
Cuban officer by Araoguren.
Bearing these propositions Of treason
and bribery. formally authorized by
Gen. Blsoco, Ruiz doffed his Spanish
uniform. donned civilian dress and
entered the Cuban lines. He vas DOT.
as the Evening Post asserts, "lured"
'.to be shot down 10 cold blood" On
the contrary, be was explicitly warned
by his CubaB friend not to come as the
bearer of any proposal of autonomy,
aud was Informed of tie order for his
execution In that case. He himself, it
is now made clear, went to his death
with eyes wide open. in obedience to
the order of his superior officer. Gen
Blanco. With equal obedience 70
orders, Aranguren could not avert bis
fate. Tie death of Ruiz was not the
murder of herald or the assassination
of an envoy. I. was the execution of a
spy 1t was stern military necessity,
and. as Delegate Tomas Estrada Palma
we'll says. the blood of Ruis is upon the
head of Blanco.
Already the wisdom of this stern re-
lection of autonomy and of answering
proposals of bribery with death is
shown by it's effect upon the Spanish
cause It is now seen that the policy
of Blanco, Offering aimsy pretense of
self-government with one hand aud
bearing in the other sword, cannot
succeed. The Cuban patroits who
fight for liberty will accept nothing
less. To Spanish emissaries who visis
them with promises Of Office and Of
gold, they sternly reply with the bullet

Our Prizes from Spain.

gun, and that every day brings in
reports ofSpanish merchant vessels
captured by the blockading squad
ron, it is of interest to the people to
know in just what way the money
that is secured for these prizes OF
war is disposed Of.
In olden days, of sailing ships, 1t
was said by the men before the
mast that the money for prize
was thrown up into the rigging OF
the ship and what came down was
the share of the captain and other
officers and what remained hang
lag TO the ratlines went to the men.
Nova DAYS the system has all been
changed, and large per cent OF
the prize money goes to pay the
pensions of the old soldiers. In
other words it is converted to the
government and placed in the
pension fund But still the good
I'D rule of a portion going to the
rev that makes the capture still
holds good, and 10 cases where the
ship captured is greater than the
capturer the whole amount of tho
prize money goes to the ship, and
Uncle Sam gives up has fifty per
cent in f. vor of bis officers and men.
In amy case, the prize money Is
distributed in proportion to each
officers and mans pay, except that
the commanding officer Of vessel
acting singly is awarded three
twentietns, if his vessel is one OF q
squadron or division, The fleet
captain gets one hundredlh part Of
the money awarded to any vesse OF
feet or squadron with which he
ia serving, and the commanding OF
ticer of feet or squadron comes
in for one twentieth part part OF
the spell given to any ships in his
command To add an incentive to
ali to be- in at the death, the law
gives to all vessels of the navy
within signaling distance of the
vessel or vessels making the cap
tere, under such circumstances and
in such condition as to be able TO
render effective aid. if required, a
share in the prize.
This stipend is great incentive
10 the men and sailors to keep
sharp watch, so that none OF the
enemy's ships escape 1t is TO this
end that Spain has disregarded the
avs of Paris and has issued letters
If narque to privateers to prey on

Il is for this share in the spells of
HAr that many pirates will soon be

This is, in fact, one ofthc gravest
features Of the war and one which
- liable to bring Spain to grief with
other nations besides the United
States England will not tolerate
spanish privateers searching her
ships on the high seas for contra
'and goods, and from this fact
tlone is liable to treat all privateers
IL the same manner as she treated
hhe Spa nish Buccaneers of old.
What this government takes from
spain she is taking in legal way,

AT SPANISH LEGATION.
Negotiations at a Halt-Polo at Days
Table

Washington. April S.-The Spanish
minister, Senior Bernabe, and his staff
had a very busy Sunday. although it
did not bring any developments chang
ing the situation. The minister did
not see the state department officials
during the day. His last official eX-
change with the authorities was on
last Friday, after SPANS answer had
been received, since which time the
negotiations have been at a halt. This,
however, has. not lessened the Spanish
minister's activity in keeping his gov
eminent fully apprised as to the gen.
eral aspect OF affairs in this country.
The elaborate manner in which this
cable intelligence has gone to the au-
thorities at Madrid is probably without
a parallel. 1t is understood that when
the situation began to assume its most
serious aspect a single cable dispatch
sent by the minister to the foreign Of
fee cost $1,000. Another dispatch cost
500 and another $4,000. In this way,
Madrid. authorities are kept in close
touch with the. condition of affairs, not
only as it relates TO official negotia-
tionS, but more particularly to those
circumstances which will permit the
Madrid government to gauge the situa-
ton at Washington.
Secretary Sherman gave dinner last
night, at which the Spanish minister
was one of the guests. Senator Lodge
of the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs and Colonel Fred Grant of New
York were also among those present.
The presence of the Spanish minister
at the home of the secretary of state
was void of circumstance. except as
showing the pacific outward appearance
of affairs. Being purely social gather
ing, the Spanish situation was not al
luded to.
