Charged s5 for 4ssoss. ;,

A story Is told of Fanny Kemble, whose
favorite summer resort was Lenox, that
on her first season there she employed a
self-respecting villager, who had a COM
Portable turnout, to drive her about, says
the Boston Record. He, feeling it to be
his duty to make the drive as entertaining
as possible, began to call her attention
TO the beauty of the scenery-which she
wished to enjoy undisturbed-and to tell
her who lived in certain houses as they
passed along, until finally Mrs. Kemble
being unable to stand it any longer, said
In the high tragedy manner somewhat
peculiar to her: 81 have engaged you TO
drive for me, sir, and not to talk"
The driver ceased talking, pursed up his
lips, and in all their subsequent drives
his only remarks were such as he found
necessary to address to the horses. At
the end of the season he handed in his
bill for the summer services. Running
her eye down it's awkward columns, she
paused at an item that she didn't under
stand What is this, sir? 1 cannot com
prehend it," With equal gravity he re-
piled: Sass, s.. I don't often take il,
but when 1 do 1 charge" She paid the
bill without comment, and continued to
employ the same driver during many
summers she spent there.

Is 1T A NIISTAKEG


In letters from Porto Rico the sugges-
ton is thrown out that a mistake is being
made by our government in leaving so few
soldiers in the island. The soldiers have
been sent home freely within the last few
weeks, ard now only 1000 remain and
Of these less than 1900 are fit for duty,
the others being sick. While II is true
that there is no disorder in the island, ii
cannot be said with any degree of certain
ty that there will be none. The people
have been subjected to military restraint
for centuries, and may not know how to
make a wise use of the freedom which is
being accorded them. They. are being told
by. the officers of our army and they are
expected 10 govern themselves. and that
there will be no restraint placed upon
them by the military. Being a hot blood
ed people and quick to act upon impulse it
would not be surprising if there should be
a great deal of lawlessness. The people
have suffered much at the hands Of the
Spaniards, and, therefore, nothing would
be more gratifying TO them than opportu-
mites for revenge. When they find that
there are not enough troops on the island
to maintain order they may give free ex-
preston to the feelings of hate and re-
venge which they entertain for the Span
iards, many of whom will remain after the
withdrawal of the Spanish troops.
Il is said that for the purpose of main
tanning order one regiment of cavalry
would be worth a half-dozen regiments
of infantry, because of its ability to reach
places where there were disturbances
quickly, but it seems that. no cavalry or
consequence is being retained on the ISL
and. Why this is so is not apparent to
those unacquainted with the policy of the
war department. It is hardly to be sup
posed however that the war department
is acting without full understanding Of
the situation.
1t is probable that the anxiety of both
regulars and volunteers to get out of the
service is one of the reasons why so many
of the Porto Rican troops have been
brought home. There is a very strong
feeling among the soldiers against doing
garrison duty in either Cuba or Porto Rico.
strong sentiment against doing duty of
that kind prevails even among the negro
troops of the regular army.
It will be most gratifying if 1t turns
out that our government has made no
mistake in leaving so few troops in Porto
Rico. From all accounts however, the
government does not entertain the idea
that few thousand troops will be sufi-
cient TO maintain order in Cuba There
are about 100000 Spanish troops there now,
and the opinion is expressed that at least
10000 American troops Will be sent to take
their places as they retire. The faction
feeling in Cuba promises 10 be fierce. If
It should be it would require a strong force
to keep the factions from cutting each
others throats

France says the expedition of Maj Mar
chand, who was reported the other day to
have occupied Fashoda, is quite unof1-
cial.' Just what the difference is between
an official and an unofficial military expe-
dition does not appear. unless France
means to convey the idea that her Mar
chand expedition on the Nile Is something
like Englands Jamieson's raid into the
Transvaal was. If Marchand's move upon
Fashoda was not authorized. then the
danger of a collision between England and
France in consequence Is not as great as
was believed to be the case a few days
ago

Cause and Effect.

Green owns few lots out on the Boule-
ward, So of course, it was perfectly natu-
raj for him to be there early yesterday
morning, about $3.50, to be exact, says the
Detroit Free Press.
He was standing on the sidewalk look
ing down the wide avenue when Brown
rode by on his wheel
Green knew Brown had no lots on the
Boulevard, SO he was surprised to see him
away out there so early
He shouted to him. Brown rode along
side the curb and dismounted from his SO
model

asked Green.

continued: You see, my wife is away Wis

'Well what do you think of that!' ex-
claimed Green. "Why in the world didn't
you put the strings in your shoes at the
store where you bought them?"
Browns jaw fell. by Jove old man -
he said, slowly, "I never thought of it."
And as he rode away Green remarked,
''Wel chap who will ride a '96 model

The Military Convention.
From the New orleans Plcayune Dem.,

The convention proposed by Gov. Biloxi
ham will afford an opportunity for the
development of many plans for the reor-
ganization of our military system 1t will
permit many influential military men to
compare notes and discuss important
points. From such deliberations much use
full knowledge which win prove of advant-
age to our lawmakers will be evolved
Unless, however. care is taken to insure
the attendance of a large number of mill
tary men, the convention is not likely to
result in anything practical

CUBA MAY PROVE TROUBLESOME.

The impression Is very general that the
only trouble the peace commission win
have will be in connection with the Phil
ippines. There are reasons for thinking,
however, that it win not be altogether
plain sailing In the matter of Cuba
What is the situation in respect to Cuba?
Congress has declared that Cuba ought to
be free and independent, but this country
has never recognized the so-called Cuban
republic. and no other nation has recog-
nized 1t. One of our peace commissioners
is on record as saying that there was no
Cuban republic when war against Spain
was declared and there has been no repub-
lie established since. To whom, then, viii
Spain cede Cuba? She cannot cede it to
Cubans because they have no government,
and she is doubtless glad that she cannot
cede 1t to them. She viii have to cede 1t
TO the United States.
And in making the cesslon she is likely
TO insist upton al STIPULATION that they shalt
maintain a force in the island sufficient to
protect Spanish interests, and Spaniards
who remained loyal to Spain. A stipulation
of that kind could not very well be re-
fused. Would not such stipulation mean
the permanent occupation of Cuba by this
country?
In this connection the New York Herald
rather pertinently asks, And when Spain
has coded Cuba to the United States and
the treaty has in it the stipulation that
an American force shall remain In the is
land TO protect the interest of Spaniards,
who were loyal to Spain, where will be
found authority in the constitution to
cede Cuba to the Cubans? Putting it that
way makes a very interesting question,
and one that may give our peace COM
missioners trouble
