sister Caroline Cot Dvea With the Man
Whe Had DaepAnaA Her Love

sister Caroline Cot Dvea With the Man
Who Had DsspassA Her Love
There was q scene and . sensation
at the Calvary Baptist church (colored)
on a recent Sunday. A covenant" or
experience meeting was in progress,
and Sister Canoline, of some so sum-
mers, had the floor. She began in the
usual orthodox form of telling her ex-
perience, but shifted to a recital OF
her personal grievance against Brother
jackson, whose arrival with his bride
upon his arm had turned the course Of
her remarks. The way she roasted him
was highly entertaining, If not edify-
ing. Rev. Mr.. Parish attempted to call
her down, but she insisted upon having
her say out. Unable to control her, he
sought to overcome her harangue with
a song, and SO gave out hymn. For
awhile the sisters voice could be heard
above the united tones of the congrega-
ton. She continued to talk against the
overwhelming odds until her voice gave
way under the strain and she fell ex-
hausted in the seat.
Here is the way she began her ex-
perience recital:
II praise de Lawd dat he has lowed
me to lib to see dis day. De great AL
mighty is er merciful God. He is a
just Lawd, an will not stand round an
see eny OBJ his poor creeters suffer
wrong. De Lawd has been berry helpful
to me. He has fed me when wuz
hungry, an have been naked an he
clothed me. He hab put money in my
purse" just then Brother jackson
appeared with his bride and the sister
changed the key of her discourse.
'Oh, Lawd. I thank thee that thou
has been SO good to me. thank thee,
oh. Lawd, that thou hast 'nabled me to
feed Brother Jackson, who done got
married to another in violation of his
promise to marry me. thank thee
that thou hast 'nabled me to give him
six shirts and has helped me to raise
de eight dollars for him to buy pair of
new shoes. Oh, Lawd, thank thee
that he hab ibed in my house whole
year without payin' board. thank
thee, oh, Lawd, that raised, by thy
help, the money to send Brother jack
son ter Chicago. And now, oh, Lawd,
he hab come back an school have be-
gun, he has not kept his promise to
marry me. But, oh, Lawd, how CRATE
full I am dat I can say dis bright day in
de language OF de pharisee, that I am
not as other men am No, Lawd, your
own Caroline am still libing in hopes
OBJ an eternal salvation, an if it is pos
sible, Lawd, pray thee to save Brother
jackson, for berrily, 1 say unto him,
'ye know not what ye do"
Naturally the congregation was con-
vulsed, and Rev. Mr.. Parish, after in
effectual efforts to quiet his sister, thus
addressed the congregations:
Brethren, we cannot permit our mis-
guided sister to go on. Sing the long
meter doxology and keep singing it un-
til she takes her seat.

A story goes the rounds that q few
days ago Mr.. Casimir- Pirier and his son,
while cycling between Sens and Monte

the landlady, '.but sardinea, and eggs. y

THE RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.

Very Strict Measures Against For
eign Correspondents.
Some interesting glimpses of the
working Of the Russian censorship,
which was maintained even against
French journalism during President
Faure's recent visit, are given in let
ter from the special correspondent of
the London Daily News in st. Peters
burg:
Calling at q news agency after the
review, learned that the censor had
gone back to dine in the country and
would not be back before eight o'clock,
up to which hour no kilograms could be
passed. This was tantamount to cut
ting off foreign correspondents from
telegraphic communication with the
rest of the world for the night. The out
look seemed hopeless when high Rus
sian official, who had the privilege of
passing kilograms, kindly consented to
look over mine. It was great favor.
The improvised censor objected, how
ever, to a story shout Mr.. Faure's over
coat, and accordingly had to suppress
1t. He was very sympathetic. I know
he said, you must be metaphomcally
enashing your teeth. But should get
into trouble for passing your telegram
if there were anything Questionable in
it, One Of my French colleagues wired
that Grand Duke Alexis waited half an
hour at the landing-stage. He was
pulled up by the censor with the re-
mark: "A Russian grand duke waits for
nobody A friend of mine was about
to wire that the czarina had grown
slightly stronger since she was in Paris,
but refrained. I stated the fact, and
1t was allowed to pass"

Bill For a Doc Bite.

DR.. Register called at b police sta
tion yesterday to zee about collecting
his bill, amounting to $25, for attend
ing little Horace Stevens, an employee
of the HERALD, who was bitten by q
Chinsman's dog during the month OF
October.
The Chiuaman's dog was not killed
at the time, but his life was spared to
await developments. 1t was feared
that 1t might turn out that he had
hydrophobia. The vicious brute, how
ever, has shown no symptoms of rabids.
It is now thought that the owner OF
the dog should pay the DOCTORS bill
but the chief of police informed DR..
Register that he would have to resort
to a civil suit to collect it as the police
have no Jurisdiction in such cases.

1 notice in yesterdays HERALD that

AS one who has q good deal to do
with the Mexicans of the oity, l would
like to say hat 1 have great doubts in
regard to the knowledge by them of
any such fine, and l would suggest to
the board of health of the
city, through your columns,
that it would be wise to have q
copy of that law in SPANISH, printed
in poster style, and circulated through
the Mexican population, or posted in
conspicuous places in the part of the
city where they chiefly live.
Respectfully yours,
A. @. WRIGHT.

EN ROUTE FOR PORTO RICO.
General Miles Now Ills Way to Our
 Next Possession.

Washington, July 20.-It Is regarded as certain by the officials of the wal department that General Miles and the first contingent of the Porto Rican ex- petition are now en route from Santia- go to the point in Porto Rico where a landing Is to be effected.
 It is stated definitely that General Miles has no intention to await the ar- rival of the several parts of the expedi- tion from the United States before nov

Ing upon Porto Rico. It Is In Tact his purpose, with such troops as he now has, to break ground on the island for the forces that will arrive later from this country. His landing will be ef- fected. If necessary, under the guns of the vessels of the navy. It Is not an- ticipated that serious resistance will be encountered, as the Spanish force on the entire island Is only slightly larger than the force which accompanies Cen eral Miles.
 Arrangements for the departure of troops from this country which are to comprise the greater part of the expe- dition are being pressed with the ut most vlgor. Difficulty Is being experi- eneed in securing proper transports, but that in a measure has been overcome. Within a day or two 10000 men, 1t is expected, will be afioat for Porto Rico, and the remainder of the expedition will be sent forward Ss sapidly as possible. Yesterday afternoon and evening the commissary department of the army was engaged in making preparations for the subsistence of the Porto Rican expedition. It is an enormous task, and General Eagan, the commissary general. is still busily engaged in per- fecting his plans. Practically all of the necessary supplies except fresh beef have been provided for, and last night General Eagan sent to the various beef packing concerns of the country tele- grams asking bids for supplying the troops at the various seacoast points which may be occupied by them in the island of Porto Rico with refrigerated or chilled beef In such quantities and in such places as may be required. Bids must be received in Washington on or before July 27

UNCAS' CELEBRATION.
The saucy Little Tug Had a Merry Time
 on the Fourth.

Captain Brainard's little tug Uncas, which on Thursday last returned to Key West, had quite a merry time during her blockade outing on July 4. While lying off Camacho, be- tween Cardenas and Matanzas, Captain Brainard fired a double national salute with two pounders and a 1 pounder, but there was too good a target to per- init a waste of powder and shell. so. for the glory of the nation, he incidentally turned the muzzles of his guns toward shore, smashed blockhouse and drove 200 Spanish rilemen and cavalrymen from thesr intrenchments. There was a lively return fire from the shore, and one of Captain Brainard's men had the tip of one of his fingers clipped off by a Mauser bullet.
 After dislodging the enemy the Un- cas sailed saucily along toward Car denas. On July 8 she stopped fin at Salinei, on Icacos peninsula. long enough to topple over another block house. On the 18th she met the tug Hudson off Cardenas. and the two fell upon three Spanish sloops ofr Blanco key. One of these was the Bella Ynez. brought in Thursday. The others were lying in shoal water, so the uncas low cred a whaleboat, and Captain Brain ard with seven men selected from both American vessels, went in after them. These vessels were respectively of 25 and 10 tons. As the American boats approached the crews of the two sloops escaped into the bushes. The vessels were not worth taking as prizes, so both the Uncas and the Hudson opened fire on the sloops and supk. them. .---
