When the British consul at Santiago.
Mr.. Ramsden. died the past week. the
United States lost one Of the best
friends It ever had. Ramsden was
Great Britain's representative at San
tiago for IS years. and during that time
he had many chances of shielding
Americans from Spanish hate AMI
vengeance. He always did so fearless
ly. and upon more than one occasion
placed his own iise in jeopardy for the
purpose OF saving that Of anothe}
Anglo-Saxon. He was at Santiago
when the Virginius affair took place.
and 1t was only through his intervention
that the awful massacre ceased before
the whole ships crew was murdered
When Hobson and his crew were i'm
prisoned at Santiago. 1t was Ramsdeu
who sent the American people the first
word that the heroes were alive and
safe, and several times afterwards re-
peated the message. He loved the
whole Anglo Saxon race. and it was his
desire that he cpuld live to see an
Anglo-saxon alliance. and the Stars
and Stripes and. the Union Jack al
ways together. He died just as
American justice. n supplanting Span
ish tyranny, in Santiago, and gave up
his life just when 1t promised him his
first peace. Ramsden was a true
friend and in gratitude for what he did
for America and Americans. some
testimony to his worth would come
from this government with a good
grace. -,

CATTLE WHIPPING" A BIG BEAR.

BILE places in it's gift as London, it sup
ports a greater number Of beggars,
some of whom accumulate what would
be fortune to the average Frenchman.
Father Antoine, after begging for IF
teen years at church doors, died. One
day the wretched old man with his
hump and his never-failing piety, was
missing. What happened? His nephew
suddenly appeared, and demanded, as
the heir-presumptive, an examination
of the hump. Investigation revealed
that it was strong box, and should
have contained ninety-six thousand
francs. A neighbor had appropriated
the box and his friends savings. The
nephew got the fortune, and the neigh
Dor got two years.
Father Antoine, with the white beard
and the hump, who portioned out his
day between Saint Etienne-du- Mont,
Saint Augustin and Saint Sulpice, and
at one time "did'' the rich funerals at
the Madeleine, was a scoundrel, and
his real name was PucciareIli.

Fought to be glad that his lot is cast in

with big winning in the stock market,
and hence looks at the world through
ose-colored spectacles. Abstract pat
rotism indorses his sentiments, but
there are some thousands of coal min
ers, cotton spinners and unemployed Ia
borers who may question it. Of course
we live in the greatest country ON earth,
and we are a free and independent peo-
pie and, incidentally, to the pleasure
of the trusts. We ought to be happy,
as Mr.. Keene points out. Yet all of us
cannot rig the stock market, and there
are some who may even be disposed to
say that one can starve to death just
as comfortably under an effete despot-
ism as in an enlightened republic. Opin-
ions will differ concerning these mat

Bruin Tormented by Two Sportive
Florida Cattle Drivers.
One Of the funniest instances related
at st. Augustine, Fla, recently in the
hunting line is the 'cattle-w whipping
of a big bear by John Capo and John
Andrea on Anastasia Island short
time ago.
The men, who were rounding up cat
tie on the island, came across a big
bear while he was down on the beach.
Turning around a curve, they came
suddenly on him where he sat enjoying
an oyster feast. They were as much
surprised as he. Having no weapons,
they did not know at first what to do
about it. The big bear looked up from
his oysters and fish, growing angrily
at the interruption, and this act of de-
fance on. his part riled the cattlemen,
and they determined to give him a
taste of cattle-whipping." One of
them rode swiftly past him, giving
him a terrible cut across his head as

When measurements of property, or
city streets, are in any way compll-
Gated with materials measured by the
United States standard, an allowance
must be made for the difference In
standards, the same difficulty arising
as in the case of two standards OF val
ne. For this reason, when contracts
with the city are drawn up by the sur
vey bureau a clause is inserted calling
the attention of the contractor for city
work to this discrepancy Of standards.
No case Of dispute has yet arisen as
to a property line in which the differ
ence in standards of measurement has
been brought in question. The courts
have, however, decided that the loca-
ton Of mans property is fixed by it's
boundary. The street lines are fixed
boundaries, and the property lines be-
tween them must be adjusted in reda-
ton to them.-Philadelp Bulletin.

It will be remembered that Police
Judge Falconer, of Lexington, KY, last
July acquitted prisoner arraigned be-
fore him on the charge of murder, bas-
ing his action upon "the higher law
which permits q man to defend the
honor of his home" The defendant
had shot to death a neighbor whom he
suspected had invaded his family cir.
Gle. There was no proof that the man
who was shot had been guilty Of any
serious misconduct. The killing, how
eve was deliberately planned and
coolly carried into effect. Judge FaI-
coner held that jealous husband could
legally make his own feelings the ar
bitter in any case affecting his family
honor, and If he felt that he had been
betrayed was justified in Staying the
object of his suspicion. 1t is a pleasure
to note that this view is not Endorsed by
the people of Kentucky. The grand
jury in Lexington has returned an in
dictment for murder against the pris-
oner acquitted by Judge Falconer, and
he Ill have to stand trial for his life.
The former course would offer a pre-
MUM for assassination and make the
ungovernable passion of jealous man
the sole guide to his actions. That the
mere suspicious of such husband
be regarded as sufficient warrant for
murder is a proposition so startling that
no community could safely indorse it.
kentucky acted wisely in .repudiating
the action of Judge Falconer and order
ing a prosecution according to law.

be passed. Bruin rose up and grOwled
cerociously as the sharp sting of the
ash hit him over the shoulder. While
he was looking in that direction, An
lrea passed behind him, giving him an
other sharp cut over the back. This
riled the bear terribly, and he turned
around snarling, and started in pur-
suit. Capo then circled back, his little
oOny entering into the sport as much
as his master. Coming near the bear,
be gave him three backhanded lashes,
cutting through the skin each time.
This put the bear in white heat, and
ne dashed after Capo in his numbering
way, showing his teeth and growing.
Andrea returned, and, as the bear
passed him, he gave him a couple of
sharp lashes, which made the big beast
vince. Bruin turned suddenly at the
last shot, and got the long lash Of the
whip, and began pulling it in hand
over hand, hoping to catch the man.
Capo, coming up, and standing off a
short distance, began plying the sting
Ing lash across his shoulders and
launches in a way that made the big
beast yelp with pain. Finally the bear
dropped the lash and started for his
new tormentor. This was kept up for
fifteen or twenty minutes. The bear
would first start off after one, when
the other would come in with his sting
ing cow whip, and, between the two,
Bruin was kept in constant worry.
His growls finally lapsed into whines
of pain and terror, and his brown coat
was tinged in many places with blood.
He had gradually worked his way up
from the beach to near the fringe of
underbrush on the bluff side. Seeing
good opportunity, he broke away
from his tormentors, rushed up through
the underbrush and disappeared, the
underbrush being too thick for the men
to ride through.

able to walk many miles and to travel
over choppy seas, and even the heavy
swell Of the ocean.
His theory of midocean walking is
to slide down the side of a big swell
and wait for the next one to lift him
up. In this way he says it really re-
quires less exertion to walk on water
far out at sea than it does in shelter
ed bay. He thinks he will be able to
walk from 500 to 1000 miles across the
Atlantic in period Of 40 to 80 days. AS
the course taken will be in the path of
steamships, he expects. to speak many
passing vessels and send back letters
written while walking in midocean to
his friends in Boston.
