CThe Hero of the Merrfmac Expedition to
Santiago de Cuba)
Hobson and his men were escorted
through the American lines by Capt.
Chadwick, of the New York, who was
awaiting them. Every step of their
journey was marked by the widest
demonstrations on the part of the
American soldiers, who threw aside all
semblance of order, scrambled out of
the intrenchments, knocked over tent
guys and other camp paraphernalia in
their eagerness to see the returning
heroes, and sent up cheer after cheer
for the men who had passed safely
through the jaws of death to serve
their country.
The same scenes of enthusiasm were
repeated upon the arrival of the men
at the hospital station and at our base
at Juragua.
Hobson, who reached there in adj
vance of his companions, was taken Oh
board the New York Immediately. The
fagship's decks were lined with officers
and men, and as Hobson clambered up
her side and stepped on board his YES
sci, the harbor rang with shouts and
cheers of his comrades, which were re-
echoed by the crews of a dozen trans
ports lying near by.
HobsOn had little to say in regard tc
his experiences except that he and his
companions had been well treated by
the Spaniards and that they were all
in excellent health.

Before permitting you to pass to the front, said the officer in charge of the telegraphy to the war correspondent, "I desire to know whether you are quail flied to report our actions in the field. {" The war correspondent bowed and awaited the pleasure of the great man. ''In the first place." continued the sol dier, "I should like definition of the phrase, 'fiendish atrocity '"
 The correspondent smiled as if he considered the question altogether toe easy.
 ''Fiendish atrocities" he said, "ars murders committed by the other side. ''
 Correct" returned the officer "Now, what is just vengeance?'"
 "Just vengeance, answered the coz respondent, 'is the term used to desig. nate murders committed by our side"
 "COrrect again, returned the officer. ''I will give you an order that will take you through all the lines. ''--StraDd Magazine

Municipal Monopolies in Germany

 Among the odd things about official life in Germany are the monopolies that are granted for all sorts of business People have the exclusive privilege of doing things here that everybody else has the right to do without permission in other countries. For example, chim- ney sweeping is a monopoly, and the man who controls it has to be paid for sweeping your chimney twice a year whether he sweeps 1t or not. You may employ somebody else, or you may not have your chimney swept at all. but he and he alone has the legal right to do the business, and he will call upon you every spring and every autumn for his fees. He never does any work him. self. He is an important, and usually a wealthy individual, and in Nurem- berg is said to enjoy a revenue of ST. 800 year from his privilege, but out of this total he is compelled to pay a gang of boys who do the sweeping for him.
 The number of drug stores in every town is limited by law-one to every 1000 of population-and they have to pay a heavy license to the city. There fore they charge high prices for pre- scriptions and get rich.

 lucky, ''I was greatly puzzled at the
 sight which met my eyes. Though my
 home is near Princeton, 1 had never
 been in the town before and I had no personal knowledge of the people who
 lived there. There was great silence at
 the railway station, and, though many persons were moving about, no one ut tered a word. Is it town of deaf
 mutes?' I said to myself.
 'But presently my eyes were blinded by many small mirrors, as it seemed to me, casting a dozen shadows in my eyes from the hands of as many burly ne- groes. It seemed no matter of jun to them to cast these shadows. They were grimacing. comforting their faces and twisting their fingers in 8 manner strange to see. No deaf mutes, but lunatics, said to myself, and began to look for some safe means of exit. But these dumb, grimacing creatures were on all sides of the platform and as 1 advanced cue way or the other those at that point lunged toward me and saw l was prisoner.
 ''It was frlghtful feeling for few moments, and then 8 rational explana- tion of the scene was made. Conquering my timidity, went boldly to one of the biggest of the black men, and, seiz- ing him by the shoulder, I said, as a hypnotist might say, What do you mean by casting shadows in my eyes?' The man caught me by the coat sleeve and whispered in my ear: I'll tell you, boss, but l has to whisper, cause we ain t allowed to talk. You has to come to me. can't come and git you. They won t let us stand on the platform.
 "Then found out that these silent men had once been the vociferative, shouting hackmen who make themselves so omnipresent on the platform stations Of most small towns. The good people of Princeton determined to live in peace and quiet, and. by act of the city coun- cil, they prohibited the hackmen from using their voices. But even this did not abate the nuisance. The hackmen would run up to the train and almost carry away their patrons by force. So the city council passed law forbidding them to stand on the platform. Deprived of speech and power of locomotion, these hackmen had happy thought. Each one bought bright tin plate and had the name of his hotel embossed on the plate in raised letters. So they all stand there, waving their tin plates and never uttering a sound. "-St Louis Globe Democrat.

The amendment to the Constitution proposed by Senator Hoar changing the date for the commencement of the Presidential and Senatorial terms from March to April 30 has been the sub- ject of discussion for years. If the amendment should be adopted it would extend the term of President Mckinley to April 30, 1901, and also the terms of the Senators and Representatives to the same date. There is no doubt that the change ought to be universally favored. The particular reason, of course, for advocating the change is the inclemency of the early March wealth CT in Washington, which has spoiled so many Inauguration ceremonies. In the latitude of Washington 1t Is very rare thing to have weather that Is favorable for. outdoor festivities on March 4. To the younger generation, which do not take the trouble to look into history, the selection of a clustering day in
 March instead of balmy day in May or June for inauguration has always been a subject of wonder. It came about in this way. After the present constitution was adopted the old con-
 gress fixed the first Wednesday in January as the day for the States to elect Presidential electors, the first Wednesday in February as the day for the meeting of the electors to elect the President and Vice President, and the first Wednesday In March for the in- auguratio1 of the new government It
 happened that the first Wednesday in
 March fell on the 4th, and hence this order, not the constitution, has fixed the
 4th of March as the commencement of the Presidential term. The constltu-
 tion is silent as to the date of inaugura-
 ton. It merely declares that a Presi- dent shall be elected every four years
 It happened, however, on account of the poor facilities for travel In those days, that the Senators and Represen- tatives were not able to organize Con- greSS promptly on the date fixed by the old congress, and General Washington was not inaugurated until April 30. 17S9. There are those who believe that General Washington could have served four years from the date of his in- auguration, thus bringing all subse- quent inaugurationS upon more pro- pitious day. It is the date of Washing tons inauguration that has suggested the change embodied in Senator Hoars l resolution, and its adoption would tend | to recall every four years the interest ing historical associations surrounding the inauguration of our first President. |

UNCLE SAM CENTS AHEAD.
Five Envelopes Out of a Bunch That FTa
 Wouldn't Redeem

! OuS OA a Bunch That He Wouldn't Redeem.
 ! A reporter went into the New York
 postoffice the other day with a bundle
 of misdirected stamped envelopes in his
 pocket to see If Uncle Sam would not
 redeem them for cash. Re found a
 window in room on the second floor.
 where this is the special business at- tended to. Uncle Sam's representative looked over the lot of envelopes, handed
 back five, with the cash for the others, and said:
 "You will have to take a trip to Falls City, Neb.; Columbus. Ga.; Newark, N. J., and Brooklyn to get those four redeemed, and here is one we won't re- deem at all. You see, it is this way: It does not matter where an envelope is
 addressed to: the point is where it comes from-what postoffice issued it. A postoffice can only redeem envelopes whichsrt has issued itself. If an en- velope shows on the face of it that some other office issued it, I can't give you cash for it.
 "Now look at this one. Here in the corner Is note, After ten days return to Mir. Blank, Falls City, Neb.' Evi- dently the Falls City postofice issued that, and you will have to go there to get it redeemed if you are fond of long distance economy of that sort. These envelopes here with no Return to- note may have been issued by some other office, but we have no means of know ing 1t and take them on faith. Here is one marked, Return to P. O. box 2, ,856, New York city, We will take that, for we evidently issued iit The principle is simple, even if it's workings look complicated. '
 The reporter reminded the clerk that he had refused one envelope altogether. The clerk took it up and looked at it. It had no Return to- note in the cor ner. but the name and address were printed on it.
 "Well, you see. that comes under a different rule," he continued. "The idea is to redeem envelopes which have been misdirected by accident. This man has spoiled this envelope to help on his business, sending it to some correspond  ent inclosed with letter asking for business order likely. He expected the other man to use this envelope only in writing to him and to keep him in mind of 1t he printed his address on it. He did not intend to furnish free stamps for his business acquaintances unless he got them back on letters to himself. His correspondent-you in this case either did not send him an order or sent 1t in new envelope. Now you want to get back 2 cents. The business man spent that 3 cents simply to boom his business. Uncle Sam is not booming any one's business, even to the extent of 3 cents, except where all share alike through general prosperity. You cannot get that envelope redeemed anywhere.
 The reporter thanked the clerk. After the cost of a trip to Nebras- ka, Georgia, Newark and Brooklyn and comparing it with the value of the four stamped envelopes which might be re- deemed by it he concluded it was cheap CT on the whole to drop the envelopes in the waste paper basket.

DISEASES IN COURT BIBLES
Microbes Poison the Books Kissed b
 the Thousands of N illnesses.

Microbes Poison the Books Kissed by
 the Thousands of-V illnesses.
 Queen VictOria's magistrates are re- volving the question whether or not the Bibles used in administering oaths can carry infection and spread disease. The matter was first brought up by a physician summoned to testify in a London court. When the clerk hand ed him the Bible he kept for the admin istration of oaths, he refused to take 1t. He explained that in his judgment the cover of that book, long in use in the court and having been kissed by thousands of lips, was pregnant with thousands of microbes and thus might be the means of conveying infection. He asked permission to disinfect the cover and then expressed his entire willingness to take the oath in the usu- al manner.
 The magistrate was at first startled at this novel proposition, but finally, seeing that the witness was a sensible man of science, he consented. There upon the physician took from his satch- el small vial of phenic acid, opened it and poured some drops therefrom on the dingy leather cover of the Bible. He then spread the liquid over the en- tire cover by means of his handker- chief and, having rubbed it well in, he took the required oath.
 The incident created widespread com ment and the physician was lombard ed with letters and queries on the sub ject. He made a public statement in which he maintained that the time hOnored custom of administering an oath in courts of law was contrary to the elementary principles of hygiene, and that it was, in fact, one of the most dangerous practices of modern times. "No One," he insisted, would consent to drink in public house where only one glass is used, and why, then, should anyone consent to kiss a book which thousands have kissed before him?'
 Naturally, many persons have fol lowed his example. Almost daily some witness asks the judge if he may dis infect the Bible before he puts his lips to 1t, and vials containing disinfect, ! ants are becoming quite a common | sight in English courts. Some magis. trates refuse to grant the desired per. mission, claiming that every article in l the court is clean and as 1t should be: l others, on the contrary. grant permls- sion, though they grumble little at what they consider a wilful waste of time. Scientists approve of the phy. | sician's conduct, and the general pub. | lie Is so worked up over the matter that league is being formed with tn, object of purifying all the court Bibles in England.-Chicago Chronicle.

Many young persons are apt to re- gard clergymen as a serious and sol emn class, and to infer therefrom that religion must be a gloomy matter.
