late ruler had found sepulture the fac
tons were flying al each others Threats.
and as a result General Marroquin, the
chief supporter Of Prospero Morales, one
OF the aspirants to the presidency, is dead
and his forces are seeking safety in flight
II was last night that General Mario
quin attempted TO seize the reins OF gov
eminent in behalf OF Morales. He made
an attack in force on the palace bar
racks. The assault was vigorously re-
sisted and in the fighting which followed
General Marroquin and five others were
killed. Seeing that their efforts would
not prove successful, the attacking forces
consisting of 1000 men headed by General
Majera and Colonel Arrevalo, fed from
the city.
Today General Toledo, who has been ap-
pointed minister of war by Manuel Estra

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Guatemalan
minister, Senior Laseo Arriaga, has no in
formation of the reported uprising follow
ing the assassination of President Barrios
his last advices giving only the fact of
Barrios' death. This he attributes to the
fact that the affair is not as furious as
the reports state, or else to the disturbed
conditions. The mention of General To-
ledo as the new minister of war indicates
that a change of cabinet has occurred.
but this fact has not been communicated
here, as is always the case on a cabinet
change. The names mentioned in the dis
patches are not known to the minister
except that of General Majoca. said to be

precinct that is much the same now that
it was dozen years ago. | mean the
outside men of the gambling houses.
They are we'll known to all sporting
men, and / could name four or five who
have done little else all their lives. 1t
is their business to know the regular
patrons of faro banks, and if the man
who employs them has been forced to
close up his old place and open new
one it is their duty to circulate the tip.
IA good outside man spends his time
around hotels and in all night restau-
rants and picks up acquaintance wher-
ever he can. After working up to the
subject of gambling he invites his new

Tobacco In ENGLAND.

In regard to the suggestion which is
sometimes made that one way to relieve
agricultural depression in this country
would be for the government to allow
and even to encourage the growth of to-
bacco, it may be interesting to note how
long the prohibition has lasted and how
sternly it has been enforced. This may
be gathered from the following extract:
"Cornet Wakefield with a party of
horse marching out of Glocester upon
the last of July to Winchcome and
Cheltnam to destroy the Tobacco plant
ed in these parts, the Country did rise
against them in a great body, to the
number of or 600, giving them very
revileing and threatning speeches, even
to kill them horse and man, if that he
and his Soldiers did come on, insomuch
that the tumult being SO great, he was
constrained to draw off and nothing
more done" (Mercurius Politicus, 30

Charged IS For "Sass,0

A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was Len.
OK, that on her first season there she
employed self respecting villager, who
had comfortable turnout, to drive her
about. He, feeling it to be his duty to
make the drive as entertaining as posi-
BILE, 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 en-
gagged 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 his horses.
At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the summer services. Run
ming her eye down its awkward columns,
she paused at an item that she didn t
understand. "What is this, sir? I can
not comprehend it"
With equal gravity he replied, Sass,
S.. don't often take it, but when do

She paid the bill without "Saue9t

Saved Life and Name.

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities.
Presently, of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu-
nal. The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guillotine who had ventured
to attack them.
Martainville expected to go with the
rest of the victims. "What is your
manner" asked the judge. "Martain-
ville," said the young author. "Mar-
tainvillep' exclaimed the judge. "You
are deoeiving us and trying to hide your
rank. You are an aristocrat, and your
name is De Martainville. T" Citizen
president, exclaimed the young man,
II am here to be shortened, not to be
heightened! Leave me my namep A
true Frenchman loves witticism above
all things, and the tribunal was SO
pleased by Martainville's grim response
that it spared his life.

A Trio of BULLS.

The following remark is by high
land clergyman. In his sermon preached
in small church in Strathspey, after
inveighing against slothfulness, he said
in closing, "Do you think Adam and
Eve went about the garden of Eden
with their hands in their pockets?''
Last year, in the north of Ireland,
the following came under my observa-
ton. In a hotel the porter, for my in
formation and dutifully in furtherance
of the interests of his employers, re-
marked, eff you want drive, sir, you
needn't go ous of the hotel" meaning,
of course, that carriages formed part Of
the establishment. Another bull was
in a conversation overheard between
two workmen. One put the ques-
ton, Were You acquainted with So.

Rubber Band For Headache.

departmental headaches are dis
Enct malady," remarked we'll known
physician to reporter, and it is some
what Of surprise how many sufferers
there are among department clerks
from this trouble. The thing seems to
grow among them. and they have their
headaches as regularly as they have
their work.
A simple remedy which is worth try
ing is to put rubber band around the
head just above the ears. Che band
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood. The band
known as the string band is generally
sufficiently heavy for the purpose 1t
should be applied just as soon as it is
noticed that the headache is setting in
and taken off the moment the pain
ceases. In many cases the rubber band
works nicely, though it affords no re-
lief when the headache is the result of
stomach troubles or biliousness.
II find also that rubber band twist
ed about toe between the corn and the
foot is a handy remedy to stop the pain
from jumping corn. Corns are very
liable to be troublesome when there is
much humidity in the atmosphere. The
rubber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe, and in this way
around the head, the pressure should not
be tight enough to stop the circulation
of the blood. Washington Star.

Argelander's Wit.

AS Hansen was Germany's greatest
master in mathematical astronomy, so
was the venerable Highlander in the OBJ
Sensational side of the science, says
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At
lantic. He was Of the same age as the
newly crowned emperor, and the two
were playmates at the time Germany
was being overrun by the armies of Ma
poleon. He was held in love and respect
by the entire generation of young as
tronomers, both Germans and foreign
ers, many of whom were proud to have
had him as their preceptor. Among
these was DR.. B. a. Gould, who fire.
quently related q story of the astron-
omer's wit. When with him as stu
dent, he was beardless and had good
head of hair. Returning some years lat
er, he had become bald, but had made
up for it by having full long beard.
He entered Argelander's study unan-
nounced. The astronomer looked at him
with some surprise, not at first recog-
nizing him.
,"Do you not know me, Herr Profess
orr"
The astronomer looked more closely
"Mein Colt! 1t is Gould NIT his
hair struck through"
