To THE EDIToR:-I am moved by recent
occurrence to ask this question: What is there
of good in chivari that attracts young people
or adults to join in it? After an experience Of
many years, not as participant, but as yictim
l have failed to find a solitary thing in the
custom to commend, and every part of the Gus
tom is wrong and offensive to the last degree.
marvel that in respectable community it is
tolerated OF course the purpose of those par
ticipating is innocent enough, they mean no
harm, only little fun. But it is fun at the
expense of one of the most sacred institutions
of our civilization and fun at the expense of the
privacy of the home at a time when that privacy
Is as sacred as III the hour OF death. By what
right will not say of reason, that Is too lofty
term, but of ordil AIRY decency does bowling
mob of boys and men assault the privacy and
quiet of a citizens home when member of his
family is being married, and force him out to
recognize their unlimited and deeply offensive
presence by some gift? Men who would Scorn
to go to party unlimited will disturb we'd
ding unlimited. In many communities FORUM
ately, the custom is dying out and giving place
to better, more beautiful order of things.
The hearty cheers of the militia company
recently, were manly and respectful salute.
! The music by the mandolin club was most
tasteful and beautiful recognition of the occa-
sion. Let the chivari go. Let the serenade and
the mandolins come. Let everybody try to
| make the wedding time of purest JOY and may
the sacred privacy OF the home be respected

TWO YEARS In CUBAN ARMY.
Experience of American ColIegians
with the Insurgents.

BALTIMORE, May N.-Stuart Janney
and Osmund Latrobe, the two young society
men of Baltimore and graduates of Johns
Hopkins, who have returned here after a
two years experience in the Cuban army,
had some very interesting adventures while
there They landed from the Three Friends,
were seven days in finding the insurgents
camp, during which time three of their
party died from exhaustion, and all hands
narrowly escaped being ambushed and shot
by the people they came to assist. What
happened after that is partially told by Cap
tain Janney as follows:
I'VE were taken back into the mountains,
and our party assigned to places with Gar
cia's command, which consisted of $500 or
5000 men. We two were assigned to a bat
terry and stayed in the artillery till about
nine months ago, when Latrobe was given
a place on Brigadier General Collosa's staff.
We found that in the mountains nearly all
the insurgents were negroes and commanded
by negro officers. but that in the central
parts of the island the troops were all white
and commanded by white officers. We no
ticed that when a negro officer was killed or
died that white man was always APP
policy of the insurgent government is to
gradually put the army entirely in command
OF white men,: They are not so very gentle
down there. Nobody expects to give or take
quarter, and man might as well be killed
at once as to be wounded and captured.
They don't generally respect flag of truce
so we sent them very few white flags.
There were number of Americans with us.
There We're Joyce, of New York; Penny,
of Washington, who came back with us,
and Osgood, the University of Pennsylvania
foot ball player, whose death you read of
in the papers. Then among the others killed
by the Spaniards there were Joe Chapleau,
OF Boston, and French Canadian named
Huntington.
The hottest fight we were in was at Bay
amo, where the insurgents with $50 men at
tackled a Spanish party of about 5000. They

CHARGED WITH POISONING.
MIS-. SeIlner Accused of Getting Rid of
Her Wealthy Husband.

PHILADELPHIA, May 21-Mrs Mary E.
Sellner has been committed to prison by
Coroner Ashbridge to await the action Of
the grand jury on the charge of having
caused the death of her aged and wealthy
husband by administering poison to him.
The, couple were married in 1896 and lived
until the time of the husbands death at 500
North Eleventh street. The husband, Reu-
ben Sellner, owned considerable real estate
in this city and was considered quite
wealthy. The honeymoon was brief, fire.
quent quarrels occurring on account of the
young wife's nonattention to her husband
The elimination of the unhappy marriage
came early in April when the husband died
under peculiar conditions. The coroner was
notified by the police officials and imme-
diately began an investigation, the widow
in tne meantime being placed under police
surveillance. After working on the case for
nearly a month the police officials con-
sidered they had secured enough evidence
to warrant the arrest of the widow and she
was taken into custody. The testimony adj
duced was to the effect that Mrs. Sellner
had on numerous occasions sent her serv-
ants to purchase Strychnine, laudanum and
julap, saying that she wanted the poison ito
kill a cat'' 1t also developed that the
woman had said to different persons that
she wanted Ito get rid of the old crank -
1t was shown that Mrs. Sellner had been
deceiving her husband for long time and
evidently held clandestine meetings with a
man named James j. Murphy. Mrs. Sellner
told the police officials that she had called
in her family physician on the night her
husband died. but this statement was denied
by the doctor when he appeared before the
coroner.
The coroner's physician testified to find
ing strychnine in Sellner's stomach, viscera
and brain. The widow was apparently un-
disturbed by the damaging evidence and did
not seem to realize the gravity of her posi-

A sharp Nantucket man had small case
which was to be tried at Nantucket and he
posted to Daniel Webster'S office in great
haste. 1t was a contest with a neighbor
over a matter of considerable local interest,
and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He
told Webster the particulars and asked
what he would charge to conduct the case.

lished recently in Paris. Marmol was pro-
fessor of mathematics in the University of
Barcelona, and arrested on suspicion after
the second dynamite outrage. AS his inno-
