One of the occasional visitors at
Delmonico's cafe is big, muscular
man, a commercial traveller. who may
be called Blank, who, though amiable
when sober, invariably develops a
burning desire to fight some one when
he has been drinking. One evening a
week ago Blank was sitting at table
in the cafe when Ed Reilly-that is
near enough to his name-and two
other men joined him. In addition to
being a crack shot, Reilly booms a
brand of champagne, and he prompt
~ ordered bottle of it. This ac-
count of the subsequent proceedings is
vouched for by a man who has been
busy telling the story ever since.
Blanks amiability faded as he
drank the wine and he began a distur-
bance by scolding the waiter, who. he
thought, had been careless about set
ting down a glass.

he said angrily Il am just spelling

The waiter was amazed and Ed
Reilly was disguised.
See here, Blank said Reilly, I'm
something of an athlete, and if you're
bound to have q fight I'll oblige you if
you Will step outside
Blank picked up his overcoat cheer
fully and followed Reilly to the street.
Then Reilly, seeing his condition,
said:
Now, your wanting to fight is all
nonsense. There is no reason for it.
Brace up and be a man. Come down 10
the Hoffman House and we will have one
more drink and then you can go home
and think it over

No more appropriate occasion than
the present can appear, for the repub-
lication of the Battle Hymn. of the
Republic, when, after thirty-three
years of peace, the American Nation
takes up arms for the freedom of the
oppressed in Cuba.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord;
He is trampIing out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored!
He has Ioosed the fateful lightning of
his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
I have seen him in the watch fires Of
a hundred circling camps:
They have buiIded him an altar in the
evening dews and damps
have read his righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
I have read fiery gospel writ in
FURNISHED rows of STEEL
LAS We deal with my contemners, so
Win you my grace snail deal:
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel;
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts Of men be-
fore his judgment seat;
Oh be swift, my soul, to answer him!
be jubilant, my feet.
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom, that trans
figures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

THE CABLE CONTRACT.

The contract granting to what is
known as the "Scrymser" company the
right to lay submarine cables from the
American coast to these Islands, and
the exclusive right, with some Iimi-
tations, to lay other cables from these
Islands to Japan, has been signed by
the Executive Council.
In every respect it is a superior con
tract to that made with Colonel Spald-
ing in 1895, a contract we'll known to
those who understood the situation at
that time, to be iIl-advised and unfor-
tunate.
The "Scrymser" company is COM
posed of men who furnish the very
best submarine service through the
West India Islands, and along the
western coast of South America
reaching into and connecting the South
American States with the world. Be
hind these men is the financial back
ing of the most powerful and reput-
able banking house in the United
States, J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.
1t is fortunate for these Islands
that the business of laying these
cables is, at last in the hands of these
men. General Hartwell is the resi-
dent counsel of this company and his
legal services, have been of value to
it,
