4 Polite Sndre.

Mr. Justice 8Iauls once went on cir cuit with Judge Coleridge in a part d England where the high sheriff was i, shy and modest man and very much alarmed st having to entertain his eyn- ical lOrdship. Coming home in his coach with the two judges, he thought it his duty to make conversation for ths1n. He observed that he hoped there would be better weather, as the mcon had changed. And are you suoh a rUol, Mr. Jones. as Co imagine that the noon has any effect on the weather.'' said Maule.
 Really, Brother Maule. '' said Cole ridge, who was politeness isself, ''you are very hard upon your friend. For my part think the moon has a oonsid- cradle effect upon l. ''
 Then, said Maule ''you are as great fool as Jones is.

WATER PROBLEM SOLVED.
A Large Underground Flow Encoun- tered in the New We'll. Con
 nections Made Yesterday.

Major Dewitt, the city engineer,
 was the happiest man in town last
 night While he IS as patriotic as
 any one else. the news of the engage
 meut at Santiago had only a passing
 interest for him. The occasion for
 hIs joy was the fact that yesterday
 he completed the connection of ths
 eItys water system with the new
 well, recently dug north of town, and after fuil half days pumping. throwing four-inch main full of water all the time, or over 5000 gal Ions per hour, the water was lowered m the well less than four inches.
 tb5s gave good assurance of the supply being abundant. Work was commenced sn this supply just one week ago yesterday, and the fact that h. had succeeded iu such . short space of time, added to Major DeWltt's satisfaction. The we'll sunk IS eight by ten feet. and is only el-ht feet deep. but it is fed by a regular underground stream. Its location Is due north of towr, on the edge of Granite creek. just on A line with the center of Nit Vernon avenue. The water comes from Miller valley, being fed by number of springs there, and Mir. Dewitt has DO doubts of being able to secure an abundant supply to meet all the requirements of a much larger city than Prescott. The water filters through a very large area of sand oefore entering the veil so that it is perfectly pure. He estinstes that lt will not require an expenditure of more than S2O,O00 to put up a com pleie pumping plant and lay 6 line ot larger mains along NJ, Vernon avenue to the reservoir, and with S50,OO0 of the sl50,0Oo of the bonds provided for by the city, complete system of sewerage and new water works can be placed in the city. All restrictions in regard to the use of water have been removed by the city council, and consumers now are per mitted 10 use all they are willing to pay for, and the more they use, the better will the city council like it. as the more revenue it will produce to the city.

 Washington, July 2.-The author ities of the war department are in a quandary this afternoon, as no word has been received from Shafter since the dispatch thIs morning asking for hospital ship. The officials, how ever, state that the battle of yester- day was resumed this morning.

~He- Wa. a Woman.

A person admitted to an English workhouse not long ago objected to talk. ing the usual bath with the Iaen and confided to the medical officer that "he'' was a woman. The woman's story, which she subsequently, told, is stranger than fiction. She was educated at 6 woman's college and married at Is to a man who ill treated her. She left him and went to live with a brother, whC was painter and decorator. Acquiring a knowledge of the trade, she donned male clothes and became a successful painter and decorator. For 22 years she lived with her niece, who kept house for her and posed as the painters wife Three months ago she fell from a scaf- fold, and. although she injured her ribs, managed to prevent the doctors from discovering her secret. A failure to obtnin employment finally compelled her to seek the shelter of the workhouse, with consequences disastrous to her manhood. York Tribune

Ensign 5agIey's Last Words

A private letter received at the navy department gives a pathetic incident of the death of Ensign Bagley on board the torpedo boat Winslow at the engagement of Car denas. Bagley had been fearfully wounded by 8 shot which practical ly tore through his body. He sank over the rail and was grasped by one of the enlisted men named Req gan, who lifted him up and placed him on the deck. The young off cer, realizing that the wound was a fatal one and that he had only a short time to live, allowed no mur- mur of complaint or cry of pain to escape him. but opened hi, eyes and simply said, "Thank you, Reagan" These were the last words be spoke.

The New England Meeting HOu...

The New England meeting house was generally square wooden box, but it showed excellent taste in the detail of its simple Ornamentation. It is the the ory of some thoughtful architects that among the early colonial immigrants were men considerably above the abil- ity of ordinary carpenters In those days the architect was apt to be both designer and builder, and 1t was not in this country until very modern times that the line was at all clearly drawn between the architect who designed and superintended in the interests of his client, and so became Q professional man, and the builder who took contract to execute the work and make what he could out of it, and remained business man. It is believed that the excellent
 ste and judgment of these men among the colonists made themselves felt in the taste of the ornamentation in what we call colonial architecture The, had no originality in the general desi of buildings, because their experience had never included that, but they knew how to carry out to perfection details of the ensemble. - William B Bigelow in Scribner'a

The Trouble. of Irsl.na.

On one occasion Hartley Coleridge had listened with deep apparent inter est to the voluble discourse of a well known Irish enthusias: who spent much of his time travelling about Eng land and enlightening the English mind on the subject of popish errors, especial ly in Ireland. After dinner Hartley re- quested to be presented to a man so re- markable. On the presentation be took the far famed traveller and philosopher by the arm. while few of the guests gathered around, and addressed him with awful solemnity, "Sir, there are two great evils in Ireland. "There are indeed, sir. replied the Irish guest, but please to name them. "The first, " resumed Hartley, 'is-popcry l'' Tt is," said the other, ''but how won derful that you should have discovered that!

 fires. A. : o'clock this morning there was a sudden boom. It was the first shot from Capron's battery, fired to avenge the killing of his son. Promptly the Spanish began to answer the challenge from their forts and trenches, returning the fire with the greatest vigor. Later Grimes battery opened fire on the Spanish troops to the right of the San Juan block house. The com mon black powder used by our troops smoked. and was a fine target for the Spanish gunners. Their battery was probably served by Cervera's marines, judging by the accuracy of their aim. While our smoke gave the enemy the range, the Grimes gunaers could not locate the enemy's guns, which used smoke less powder, except approximately. But, satisfied as to the Spanish posi- tion, our men fought like mad. The Spanish fire gradually slackened, and in less than an hour ceased al Battery A, of the Second deserves great credit for

HIS VACATION CUT SHORT.
Frank Wiberg, of NorthcOte, Mimi,
Slightly Unbalanced, Calls at the
Hill Residence.

Frank Wiberg, of Northcote Kittson
county, Mimi, was escorted by the
police to the evening train on the Great
Northern road last night, and start
ed for his home.
Wiberg, who is a farmer thirty years
of age, arrived in St. Paul last Sunday.
He came to the city. he Informed the
police, to see the sights. Yesterday
morning he visited the residence Of J.
J. Hill, on Summit avenue, and pre-
scented a letter addressed to Mrs. Hill.
Wiberg said there was an answer ex-
pected and waited while the servant
took the letter to Mrs. Hill.
The epistle was a well-written but
rambling one, the threat being made
that if the writer was not let alone he
would go off and join the "muncks." A
telephone call to the Rondo police sta
ton brought Patrolman Lynch and
Capt. Lowell to the house and Wiberg
was taken to the station.
Assistant City Physician Leavitt eX-
amined Wiberg and pronounced him
demented, but harmless. Wiberg had
some money and consented to start for
home as soon as the police would let
him. Inquiry at the Commercial hotel
brought out the statement that Wiberg
had been acting very queerly since his
arrival in the city. He had no baggage
except an armfull Of books, which he
had purchased since his advent in the

GONE WITH THE CHANGE.
Residents of the Hill District Con-
tribute to the Cash Account of u
SyyindIer.

The detectives are looking for clev-
er but cheap swindler who has been
touching the residents of the hill dis
trict, who have rooms to rent. for
small amounts during the past week
In no case has the fellow secured more
than So. but his field of operations have
been wide and many have contributed
to his cash account.
The swindler is described as about
forty years old, dressed rather poorly
and having crop of brown Whiskers
He represents himself as a farmer liv-
ing on the Hudson road and talks
glibly about his family connections and
acquaintanceS in different parts of the
city.
He is anxious to secure room for
his son and the son of a neighbor, as
both the boys are attending the state
university and desire to be nearer the
institution. Shown any kind of a room
he decides to take it and says he is
willing to pay the rent for month in
advance.
He has first, however, to dispose of
a load of potatoes in the next block
and as soon as this is attended to will
return. Five minutes later he is back
and requests the loan of from 81 to SIS
with which to make change for SO
bill, which has been rendered him in
payment for his potatoes.
In nearly every case the scheme
works like a charm and the amount
asked for is handed over. Three house.
wives on Iglehart street have reported
to the police that they had loaned
money to the supposed farmer. and
there are others who rather than have
it known have kept their experience
quiet. Mrs. Stanchfield. at CTS Igle-
hart street. gave up 81 to the farmer
Thursday. Mrs. Curtice, at 80 Iglehart
street, would have loaned the swindler
SO. but had no change, and is now very
glad that she didn't.
