The Barber-Shop Fly.
he pittsburp Chronicle TELEGRAPH

There's pesky little creature.
And just now it's quite feature
In place where bristling mortals often stop,
Every minute changing lodging,
Every minute wild slaps dodging-
It's the fy that lOafs around the barber shop,
Yes, there's trouble every minute
And the fly is strictly in II,
when you get so nicely seated for shave:
For the insect, gay and risky,
VIII do anything that's risky
Just TO make you Vince and twitCh and squirn
and rave,
While the BARRIERS busy stTopPiug,
Round your head that fly is hopping,
Next your ear it gently tickles with its toes;
But of course you do not Ike Il,
And you raise a hand to strike ii,
Then the fly is calmly squatting on your nose
Just minute, fierce and scrappy.
And again you feel quite happy
Till it finds that polished bald spot on your head
Then you simply get ferocious,
Fit for anything atroclouS,
And you feel inclined to raise particular Ned.
Then the barber, in furry,
Tries TO make the insect scurry,
But upon your chin he lets the razor drop;
You'll ignore his explanation,
And In fiery indignation,
Make q vow you'll never again go TO that shop
But will go TO A, II Austin's shop, Stafford.

Kansas will furnish the first colony
of immigrants to settle in Cuba from
the United States. John T. Veney.
q colored Baptist preacher well
known in Topeka, has made arrange
ments to form q settlement of colored
people near Santiago and expects to
start from Topeka with about thirty
families, in twenty or thirty days.
For several years it has been a
cherished dream of Veney to colonize
a settlement of his race in some
southern cline. Since the war has
closed he has turned his attention to-
wards Cuba and concluded there are
more inducements for his project in
that country. He has been over the
region and understands it. His idea
is to establish town on the high
land above Santiago, which he will
call Topeka.

Many cities in the west have taken
up the foreign idea of holding street
fairs. The idea is by no means a
new one, but is simply an imitation
of the manner of conducting fair
in the cold country" The plan IL to
raiee q sum Of money for free exhibi-
tons and to make mercantile display
similar to that of the country fair,
the only difference being that it takes
place on the street. Booths and
stands are erected from the side
walks, and during the busiest time all
traffic is suspended. Attractions
that draw crowds to town are ar
ranged and the merchants offer
special inducements to the public to

BANDMASTER DEAD.
Founder of the National League of
Musicians No More.

Chicago, July 12-Captain c. NJ. Cur
rier, whose reputation as a musician
was national, was buried last Thurs
day. Although he had made his home
in Chicago for the last ten years his
cieties in America for he was the or
ganizer of the National League of Mu-
sicians and served this organization for
three terms as president.
It was in 1887 that Mr.. Currier was
called to Chicago to take charge of the
First regiment band and it was not
that endeared him to the guardsmen,
but his genial manners and delightful
personality. From his earliest boyhOOd
Mr. Currier showed rare talent and re-
ceiVed his first musical instruction in
Boston, his birthplace. He was born
July 8, 1882, and besides having his
voice cultivated, studied as a child, the
piano and viOlOncellO. Later he took up
the cOrnet and at 20 became the direc-
tor of the famous MINISTRIES known as
Matt PeI's Campbell minstrels. In 1859
he was with GilmOre's band. During
the war he served as a private, resign
ing as a captain when he took up his
residence in Cincinnati, where he or
ganized a band bearing his name that
was known far and wide.
At one time he acted as president of
the Chicago Musical society and was
its financial secretary at the time of his
death While his funeral was conduct
ed by the Masonic fraternity all his old
associates in the different societies did
honor to him.

SIMPSONS OBJECTIONS.
Said to Have Personally Criticised Mr..

Portsmouth, n. H, July I'm re-

exist between Rear Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley, the following
conversation between these two Off
GERS was repeated to the correspond
ent by an officer, who will vouch for its
accuracy;
According to my informant, Admiral
Sampson forbade Commodore Schley to
make a report of the action before his
own had beer filed. He is quoted as
saying to that officer:
Commodore SchIey, my flagship was
in signaling distance, as you well know
Had this effort of the Spanish fleet
to escape been successful or had it
brought disaster to this fleet, would you
have assumed responsibility
Commodore Schley is said to have
hesitated when the matter was put to
him in that light.
Then I cannot allow you to take
credit for the victory to my disparage-
ment' Admiral Sampson is said to
have informed Schley.

COALWAR ON.
Eastern Companies Make Heavy Re
auctions in Prices.

New York, July 12.-President Sam
uel Sloan and Vice President Holden of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad, when questioned about
the cut in coal prices made by their
company at Duluth, Chicago and Mil
waukee, intimated very broadly that
the Lackawanna was doing openly
what other companies had undertaken
to do under cover. Vice President
Holden said that the Lackawanna was
asking "a for stove coal at the docks.
He denied the current reports that his
company had sold stove coal as low as
IS. 35 or $3.50 per ton.
While the reductions in the price OF
coal delivered only along side in west
ern ports, is not regarded as important
in themselves the officers of the other
coal carrying companies express the
fear that the cut rates may extend into
the eastern market and cause a serious
decentralization. Most of the companies
are meeting the Lackawanna's open
cut in the west and they declare that
there is no profit for anybody in the
figures quoted.
Several of the coal presidents were
in consultation informally yesterday
regarding the advisability of calling a
meeting to consider measures for the
restoration of harmony No action was
agreed upon however.

Ex-Congressman Davis and Travelling

Los Angeles. Cal, July 12.-Frank F.
Davis, formerly congressman from
Minnesota, but now a resident of Los
Angeles. and w. F. Huff of Pasadena,
last week started from Mojave station.
with team on an exploring expedition
bound for Spring Water Canyon, 80
miles north, their journey taking them
within ten miles of the famous Death
Valley.
All went well as far as Freeman,
little groups of huts where a few squat
water at 10 cents a glass. Their next
station was to Desert Wells, 30 miles
away, where there was supposed to be
an abundance of water, and they did
not take a large supply with them.
When they reached Desert Wells, how
ever, they found the water filled with
dead animals, and utterly worthless for
man or beast. A little water remained
in their canteens and this they divided
with their horses. The heat and dust
had been very trying and all were near
but push on through the sand toward
the higher lands, where the mining
camps are located. So forward they
toiled, through the fine borax dust, into
which their wagon wheels sank to the
hubs. At IL o'clock in the forenoon
their horses We're unable to drag the
wagon a rod further. They mounted
and tried to make the remaining ten
miles on horseback, but the beasts could
not go. There was no alternative but
to foot it. They started and in eight
hours managed to traverse the ten
miles between Desert Wells and Spring
nearly dead from thirst and heat ex-

WORK OF RESCUE.
Efforts Being Made to Reach the Men
Sufocated in the Cleveland
Tu00eI

Cleveland. July 12.-While work is
being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible toward reaching the scene Of
last nights explosion, there seems to
be little, if any prospect that any of the
eleven WOrkmen who were in the tunnel
when the accident occurred will be
found alive.
Mr. ]. w Reynolds, who is superin-
tendent of the construction of the tun-
mel stated today that he had not the
slightest hope in the world of rescuing
the men alive. He said that the pipe
in which the air is forced in to the tun-
mel, ends about 500 feet nearer the
shore than the workings, where the
men were employed when the explosion
occurred. Owing to that fact the foul
air and gases would be forced on to
them before it would begin to escape
into the other portion of the tunnel.
Should it happen that any of the men
nVed, they would as speedily as posi-
Die make their way to the end of the
pipe where they would be assured of
safety for a, time at least. AS the air
enters the tunnel from the pipe with
considera BILE force it would have a ten
dency to force back the pure air and
create a space of at least ten feet
where comparative safety would be as
sured.
superintendent Kingsley of the wa
terwOrks department said today that
he had no reason to believe that there
had been any cave in at the point
where the explosion occurred. Even
though considerable portion of the
clay roof and sides of the tunnel caved
in there is but a small chance of water
finding it's way in, as the tunnel is So
feet below the bed of the lake and the
surrounding earth is unusually firm
and compact.
The only thing with which the rescu-
ers have to contend at present is the
foul air and the chance of another ex-
plOSiOn taking place.
