CROWD SAW HER SPANKED.
Miss Edith Thompson, of Long Island
Has NeighbOr Arrested.


Has a NeighbOr Arrested.
Miss Edith Thompson, who lives with
her parents in Hollis, Long Island, n.
Y, appeared in Justice Woods court
in Jamaica and told the justice and
incidentally courtroom full of spec
tators, how Mrs. Annie Scholl, of the
same place, had turned the plaintiff over
her knee on Tuesday last and tried to
spank her.
"She didn't hurt me-" said Miss
Thompson, "but all who saw the af-
fair were men, and think she is real
mean. I'm going to show her that in
this country no woman can take an
other and turn her over her knee on the
street and try to spank her without
feeling the heavy arm of the law"
Miss Thompson added that Mrs.
Scholrs arm was pretty heavy itself,
but that, aided by the police force Of
New York, she had no fear that hers
would be found wanting from now on.
The case was adjourned. The spank
ing was an incident in a woman's quar-

Some Bon.Mots of Wit,

When Brummell made his midnight
fitting to Bologne at the suit of the
Jews, Lord Alvanley remarked COM
placently: "Brummel has done quite
right to be off; it was Solomon's judg-
ment." Alvanley gave many proofs of
generosity to acquain tances in dis
rress. One of those he had assisted was
the well-known Jack Talbot, reckless
prodigal, who had repeatedly borrowed

he has more claret than blood in his

Aivanley's eXpostulation when he had
been persuaded to dine with the &C.

A BOY WHO GAN ONLY SWEAR.
Ernest Motifs Vocabulary Limited to
Oathn by an Accident to His Skull.


A boy whose vocabulary consists al
most wholly of oaths lives at Montague,
Me-, in the village near the pulp mill.
His name is Ernest Mott, and if he lives
until next March he will be IA years
old. Until last October he was fairly
bright and very active lad.
While he and his playmates were sky
larking among the wood teams on the
morning of October 81, horse kicked
him on the head, inficting a severe
wound above the left ear. His right
side was paralyzed by the blow. The
muscles of his throat were also affect
ed SO he was unable to articulate. After
treating the boy for few weeks with
out noticing much improvement, the
doctor sent him to the Bangor hospital,
where the surgeons trephined his skull,
taking out a circular piece of the bone
to relieve the pressure upon the brain.
The boy began to get we'll at once.
He ate heartily, gained strength, and,
on December IS, he had so far recovered
that he was sent home to his parents.
He has been out on the streets every day
since, apparently as healthy as ever,
but though his physical and mental
vigor has returned, he is still unable to
utter any form of speech except the
oaths that he learned about the mill.
OF these he has perfect and eloquent
command. He can easily outswear any
person who has ever visited Montague,
which, considering the proficiency Of
the mill men, is a reputation that is
hard TO obtain.

HINTS FOR TOBACCO GROWERS
Climate and Soil Conditions should
Determine the Kind Raised.


Determine the Kind Raised.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
authorized the issue in pamphlet form
of a preliminary report upon the soils
of the principal tobacco districts in the
United States, prepared by Milton Whit
mey, chief of the division of soils.
The main points of inquiry which now
reach the department are in regard to
the kind of tobacco which should be
grown in certain specified localities and
the method of curing the product. Re-
plying to these questions, the report
says climate and soil conditions should
determine the kind of tobacco raised.
The tobacco plant, it is stated, read
lily adapts itself to a great range of
climatic conditions, will grow on nearly
all kinds of soil, and has comparative
ly short season of growth. Itcan there
fore be grown in rearly all parts of the
country, even where wheat and corn
cannot be economically produced. But
while tobacco can be so universally
grown, the flavor and quality of the
leaf are greatly Influenced by the con-
ditions of climate and soil. A monde
script tobacco, it 10 held, is not worth
growing, and should not be grown, as
it lowers the price of really good types
Of tobacco, to the detriment alike Of
the grower and the consumer.
The report is largely devoted to a
description of the different classes of
tobacco lands found in the United
States, together with data as to the
yield per acre, whether used as wrapper
or filler, the value of the tobacco pro-
dmced and valuable suggestions of OBJ
tanning the best results.

MEGAPHONE IN WAR.
How the oncers Communicate with One
Another by Word of Mouth.

The use of the megaphone in war is
undergoing its first test. Grandchild OF
the old speaking trumpet, through which
the last century admirals roared their
challenges and commands, the mega
phone has taken fresh grip on our
warships since the Cuban blockade be-
gan. Ne quarterback, from that OF Adj
miral Sampson S stately New York to the
bridge which plays the same role on the
| little Mangrove, is without one OF the
big three foot tunnels OF papier mache,
and most of the short distance signal
ing between ships is done by magnified
word of mouth instead Of the slow tel
egraphy of the 'wigwag" crew or the
slower message making OF the signal
flags ut the mastheads
Any one who has heard the results OF
an intercollegiate meet or suburban
horse race beloved across 40 acre
field knows just why the megaphone is
the dearest unofficial treasure of sail
or's life. Two hundred yards-even
/, 200 feet-are as nothing to the mega
phone, and the jackies love the odd ma
chine because it saves them more than
one seance with the signal flags and un-
familiar messages or hot pull under the
sun when the captain wants to ask a
brother commander if he will take din
ner with him.
News, gossip, orders-questions touch
ing thousand things-are roared back
and forth between ships as they lie at
anchor or plod up and down off Havana
watching for foe that never shows
himself And Jacky has learned new
trick of the thing-when he shouts a
message, he claps the mouthpiece to his
ear and gathers in all the volume of the
answer. On the blockade the megaphone
has been of peculiar value. Ships halt
ed by that unceremonious shot across
the bows have had speedy explanation
of the shell instead of the slow torture
of the signal flags.
Just what the megaphone can do amid
the clangor of battle is unknown, but
there are many sailormen who believe
that the smoke will obscure the signal
flags which are not at the main truck,
and that the megaphone will earn an
official place for itself in the coming
battle between the Spanish and the
American fleets. Daniel VINCENT Casey

the Monroe doctrine is to be abandoned.
He said the other night to a CORE
spondent:
1--WE have travelled 100 years in the
last few weeks. Our whole colonial pol
icy is about to undergo a radical change.
The Monroe doctrine, which was all
right when it was written, but no lon.

Gems, and the government of the United
States is slowly but surely breaking
away from its old moorings. This war
with Spain will necessitate a change in
our colonial policy. If there is any one
thing that l am certain of, it is this.
The fortunes of war have given us terri
tory in the seas which we would never
have thought of acquiring, but since we
have acquired it the stars and stripes
must float there forever.
"The Philippines alone will not COM
pensate or reimburse us. We must have
more territory. Puerto Rico will doubt
