1t is known that Secretary Alger
will, in his annual report, recommend
congressional legislation, authorizing
the enlistment OF Spanish and Cuban
soldiers in the United States regular
army, for service N Cuba. 1t is be-
lieved that the pick of the Spanish
soldiers, who will, by preference, re-
main in Cuba, and the best men
among the Cuban insurgents, will be
glad to enlist in our regulars, and that
they are especially we'll fitted to do
good garrison service in Cuba. 1t is
believed also that a course of army
discipline, under United States regu-
lations, will be helpful in fitting these
men to become useful citizens of Cuba
when their terms of enlistment ex-
pire. They cannot be enlisted with
out congressional legislation.

Tuesdays Elections.

The elections on Tuesdsy resulted
not only in distinct gain for the re-
publican party, but also in an en-
phatic endorsement of the administra-
ton in it's conduct of the late war.
While it is yet too early to state re-
suits definitely, it is clear that the
next house of representatives will
have substantial republican MAORI
ty, and that the result of the state
elections insures unquestioned con-
troll by the sound money republicans
of the Senate.
1t frequently happens that the ma
jority party loses control of the House
midway between presidential cleo
tions; this was the hope of the demo-
Gratis this year, but their hopes have
been blasted. The faint of the silver
craze, acquired by the party in '96,
could not be gotten rid of, and I'M
questionably affected the result this
year.
Apart from the general result, the
lntensest interest centred in New
York. Col. Roosevelt is elected gov
ernor by handsome majority; a re-
publican legislature is elected, which
insures the election of a republican
senator in place of Edward Murphy.
Col. Roosevelt's election effected
another, and probably reaching
RESULT gave the death blow to both
the democratic and republican ring
rule. The bossism of Platt threat
ened only little less danger to good
government in the Empire state than
that of Croker. His nomination
crushed Platt; his election crushed
Croker, and thus at one fell swoop
two elements dangerous to repub-
ican institutions have been, tenn
porarily at least, put under subjec-
ton.

Tells "A good Story on Himself-A
"Reminiscences.


The other day Judge l.. A. Emery, who
is holding court at Bangor, made an in
formal call at the University of Maine,
school OF law. tie was introduced to the
Junior class by Prof. Rogers, W ho occupies
the chair of legal history, and, after a
hearty round of welcoming applause, made
very graceful five minute speech.
He began by pointing out to the stu
dents the responsibilities of the pro-
fession, its abors and rewards, gave them
kindly words OF encouragement and coun-
Gil, and closed by telling the following
little story:
81 began the practice of law" said Judge
Emery, Eat about twenty four years of age.
Like good many other young lawyers, / was
pretty cockey, and had a pretty good opinion
of my legal knowledge and oratorical power.
One of my first cases WAS an action for trespass
qudre cidusam, in which | appeared for the
plaintiff.
"In this case two brothers, Gideon Joy and
Decatur Joy, had been having trouble, and H.
nally Gideon went over to his brothers house
and In the course of the quarrel which ensued
used Decatur rather roughly. On the day of
the trial was ready with a carefully prepared
case, began by abiding to the sanetity of the
home, mentioning In the course of very
fiowery and sonorous period, that mans house
was his castle where the law held him safe from
every intruder and where the proudest Of the
nobility could not enter the cot of the shepherd
unbidden.
1.-The wings of my eoquence gained strength
with their flight until, thinking to paralyze the
court, Jary, and spectators, announced again
that even the proud Plantaganet or the naughty
Tudor dared not enter unbidden the lowly cot
of the humblest of his subjects, and then /
sat down.
My opponent In the case was lawyer by the
name OF Peters. brother of the present chief
Justice, man who along with his knowledge of
law had a good deal of his brothers wit and
sarcasm. Assuming droll look and charac-
teristic attitude he addressed the jury something
Ike this Gentlemen of the jury, you have
heard here to day considerable about the proud
flantaganets and the naughty Tudors. be-
lieye, gentlemen, | don't know these fellers,
/ believe gentlemen. never met 'em. But !
want you to understand, gentlemen, that this
ere case amt about the proud Pantaganets
nor the naughty Tudors, but it's about Decatur
Joy and cid Joy, ami don't you forget it,"
Judge Emery continued:
The roar of laughter which went up from
the witnesses on the stand. from the men on the
jury panel the spectators outside the bar and
even the judge on the bench sank into my very
soul, and never since that time wher addressing
a jury have ever alluded In any way to the
proud Plantasanets and the naughty Tudors'

A young man riding noticed it creeping

fired two shots, but the animal escaped
unhurt. Much uneasiness Is felt by the

600 miles east of Abaco, one of the
Bahamas. All the ships stores and the
water casks went overheard. The masts
were cut away and the vessel righted,
nearly submerged forward, but well out
of the water aft.
The hulk drifted twenty-three DAYS,
then grounded on Abaco and went to
pieces. All hands got ashore. The crew
lived on raw fish. few of which they
caught with hooks improvised from
pieces OF suspender buckles and big pins
fastened to lines made of the warp of sail
cloth. When 1t rained they collected
water in a tarpaulin.
Two small sharks were washed aboard
the partly submerged wreck and the men
captured, killed them and ate them raw
For several days they were luckless in
fishing and chewed sesweed and parts of
greasy old waterproof to sustain them
selves. The cook went mad from drink
ing sea water.
All the castaways were much emaciated
and unable to walk when they were
rescued by boatmen who went out to the
wreck after it drifted in at Abaco. They
were taken to Nassau, whence the Ameri-
can consul sent all hands except the cook
to New York. The cook is in hospital.

They have revived Castine story about
q good old LADY OF that town who sold
some sausage to the British invaders in
1872, and incidentally sold the British as
well as he sausage. A British admiral
came up the bay with his ships and lay
in the harbor off Castine. This woman
learned that the feet was short of pro-
visions, and she saw chance to get a few
dollars and also to show the British What
the Yankees thought OF them. She and
her daughter made up 400 pounds of
sausage of turnip, red flannel and sage;
and one day she put them in boat and
padded to the side of the British flag
ship. She was hailed at distance and
asked what she wanted She informed
them of the nice fat sausage she had in
the boat and they invited her on board.
She sold the whole lot at good price and
after pocketing the cash started for shore
in her boat. The hungry British soon
sampled the sausage and found out how
they had been deceived before she was
out OF sight. The guns were aimed at
her, but the admiral said that they should
not fire at SO brave and daring a woman.
Her posterity still live in Maine.
