NEW SUBMARINE WONDER.
II is Il Boat said to BE Owned by the
spanish Governments.

Mr. c. f. d, Pratt. of Dunmore,
has received from his mother, who
is in Portmouth, England, a letter dat
ed April 2S, which speaks of the pres.
ence of Spanish war vessels in the
English Channel and notes the fact
that Rev. NJ Watkins, a son of Cap
tain Watkins of the Paris (now the
falel had offered prayers in All Saints
church, London, of which he is pastor.
for his fathers safety. The letter is
especially noteworthy in its evidence
that English sentiment is in fun sym
pathy with the American cause.
Accompanying the letter was clip
ping from the Portsmouth Mail of
April 26, describing an alleged extra
ordinary submarine instrument which
Spain had just bought from an Eng
lish syndicate and which in the Mails
judgment was calculated to do great
damage in naval warfare. The in
strument is thus described

Grand Chief Hunsicker's report was

create a stir and bring about some
kind of definite action. This is Chief
Hunscker's reference to an element
in the order known as the Past Chiefs

Grand Castle a letter sent to him by

 The report current Sunday that we had shot Col. Blythe, the general manager of the stage line, was totally without foundation. and was probably set aAoat by some personal enemy.

It's me that ye'd better see about bounc- ing the landlord, and I'm waiting right here for ye to apologize to me for the words ye said upstairs!'
 Apologize to T janitress!' gasped MT. Bowser.
 "Aye! sir, and it's got to be a mighty humble one, too, or l don't overlook things!"

 Of course. That is, I expect you'll make bigger kick about going back home than you did of coming over here, but it'll be all right. Brace up, now, for here come the goods"
 Mr. Bowser handed in chair for her, and then followed the men down stairs to make them hurry. He had forgotten all about the janitress, but she was at the front door and looking for him. Not knowing the powers and dignity of the average janitress of the average flat, he had stroked her fur the wrong way at the very outset, and she did not intend to put up with it.
 Did ye say yer name was Towser?" she asked as he appeared.
 No, ma am, didn't! Isaid my name was Bowser, and if you can read and write you'd better put it down and re- member tt. Seems to me you've got a good deal to say around here"

During the last week we have been advised by a score or more of people to open out on Mr. John Taylor, the Apache avenue druggist who put up stryehnine for quinine and thereby caused the death of Sam Barton. We fail to see how such a course would help matters. Mr. Taylor has not only increased his advertising one-half this week, but has subscribed for five copies of The Kicker to send away.
