A Chance for Spain.

WAsHINGToN, May 10.-As result of
tho Spanish reverse at Manila leading
members of the diplomatic corps, repre-
scnting some of tho most Influential of
the great Powers of Europe, have mofli-
cially exchanged views on tho oppor-
tnnencss of n movement, dictated by the
most friendly spirit and in tho interest
of peace, toward urging upon Spain tho
futility, of further prosecuting the war,
and inducing her to suo for peace on tho
rclnquishmcnt of Cuba tho promise of q
war indemnity and tho occupation of
Manila by Admiral Dewey until the war
indemnity is paid. 1t was stated tonight
by one of the most influential members
| of tho diplomatic corps, an ambassador,
that such step by Spain was the logical
results of the crushing defeat of tho
Spaniards at Manila. With Spanish
politics in thoir present dsordcrcd state
and revolution impending he did not
know whether tho men at tho head of
tho Government woro strong enough and
bravo enough to save Spain by q heroic
sacrifice of her pride. Unless thcy die, ,
he said, tho disaster of Manila would bo
repeated, for it was now patent to tho
| world that Spain's military and naval
strength was grOtcsQuoly Inadequate to
cope with tho forces Of tho United States
While expressing this view with much
positivcncss, it was put forward only as
tentative, and not as move which tho
united Powers had actually begun. 1t
was stated with positivcncss at several
of the embassies anl legations to day
that intervention III Lho sense of staying
| tho C0uTso Of tho United States was no
| longer being discussed
Tho military authorities connected
with the establishments say that Admiral
Montcjo and his entire stan of officers
ought to bc, and undoubtedly would be,
Court-martia tailed for allowing themselves
to be surprised by Admiral Dowcy's ncot

"And yet" he asserted, Its absence

Il fail TO see how" she sctuTned. blush
ing prettily merely because of the course
the conversation was taking. Il should
say rather that IL became the more signii-
cant as one approached the superlative
degree"
IN a measure 1t does" he admitted;
but much depends upon the circum-
stances and the persons involved. If an
old gentleman writing 10 you addresses
you as Dear Miss Brown that IS dis
tinctly formal, while II he says Ny Dear
Miss Brown it seems trifie patronizing
and fatherly, and 20 THAT extent is more
friendly. But if a young man uses Dear
and My Dear the conditions seem 10 be
reversed"

Then let me illustrate" he said Sup
pose l should address you as My Dear
Girl That would seem rather patroniz-
ing, would 1t not, as if ! were about 10
point out some little error or bit Of fool

Girl, how about that? Does it not mean
more than the other in my case?'
While you are about il" she suggest
I'd a'yEyhy v44.F not
say Dearest Girl? E"
THE superlatives are used so much by
some Americans Ee said, that they
lose much Of their force and often do
not seem to have the strength found in
lesser degrees. AS love terms Dear
Heart and Sweet Heart have stood the
test OF years, and any attempt to put
| them In the sunerIative, as Dearest
Heart and Sweetest Heart instead Of
being more effective would be simply far
cical and would detract from, rather
| than add TO, their Significance"
But how about Withdrawing the word
| dear entirely?' she asked, for being a
woman, it was only natural that she
should wish TO make a study of all the
| intricacies Of these terms. You spoke Of
that, you know
Certainly" he answered; 'and l can
prove the truth of what I said. Again
let me illustrate with you. 1 say to you,
| My Dear Mamie 1t may mean much
1t may mean little. 1t depends upon cir
cumstances. 1t may seem patronizing,
or ii may not. That also depends upon
| circumstances and the tone. But we
take away the word dear and then
say to you My Mamie What do you
say 10 that?"
why, II guess I am" she replied,
| blushing deeper red than before but
you might have found out whether l was
or not without adopting such a rounda-
bout method"
Nevertheless, having proved his case
and accomplished his purpose, he pro-
ceeded TO take possession.

a Sparrow Hangs Itself.
From the Kansas civ Star.)


In grated window of the county Jail
between the iron bars and the panes Of
glass, two sparrows began last week to
build a nest. They worked three days
bringing wisps of grass and feathers and
strings and weaving them in behind and
around the bars. The prisoners on the
second tier of cells with time hanging
heavy on their hands, watched the home
building of the birds
Friday afternoon the prisoners heard a
great chattering of sparrows, and looking
out they saw that one of the birds in
weaving a string into the nest had got it
tangled in some way around it's neck
It's ffuttering tightened the string and
choked il, and it was dangling helpless
from the bar. within a few yards of the
black gallows in the Jail on which have
been hanged four men, and on which three
more will probably be hanged this sum-
mer- The mate Of the hanging bird was
wildly excited and chartered loudly. hut-
tering around and pecking at the string
Its cries brought other sparrows who
chirped eXcitedly and pecked at the string
with their bills. Soon there were dozen
sparrows flying around the hanging bird.
and they kept up their chattering for a
half hour; then a deputy marshal tore
the bird loose with a long stick. 1t was
dead. :

Pretty fine bird, remarked the Chica-

Chicago.
DO it with pleasure, sab, replied the
host.
The cards were produced, and the drum
mer won. The rooster was turned over
10 him, and was brought to the Worlds S
Fair city.
A few days ago the Chicagoan again
registered at the same hotel in Decatur.
The proprietor Immediately recognized
him.

Yes, sir

He MuzzIed the Ducks.
From the Chicago Journal.l

tffOln the tnlCaGO JOurnal.l
The hero of this tale is baggageman
on the Santa Fe line. He has been ac-
customed to doze on his passage from
Hutchinson to Kansas City but then it
happened-iust how is a point not ex-
plained-that night after night his car
confined two or three coops of live ducks
The baggagemans doing was at an end
The almost constant Quackng of the
ducks, who could not understand their
strange environment, would not permit of
sleep.
For many nights as he lay awake, he
planned relief. He thought of stringing
the ducks or chloroforming them, but
neither experiment seemed good. Then a
bright idea came TO him
The next night he had two coops of un-
usually vociferous ducks As soon as it
came time TO sleep he wrenched a slat
from one of the coops, reached in and
pulled out a duck. From his pocket he
took q samll rubber band, which he Slip
ped over the ducks bill just back of the
nostrils. The duck tried to quack, but
the rubber band, while it stretched lit
tie, would not permit the duck to open
its bill far enough to use its tongue Only
murmur came from it. One by one the
ducks were muzzled, and the baggagem
rested comfortably.

Some Youthful Prodigies.

kffOn the MliiuedI'OllS lTlDune-)
As rule those who achieve brilliant success
in mature life, have not been youthful prodgies;
but in music, the worlds universal language,
and the highest OF the fine arts, this rule has
many exceptions. These found all the way
from the old masters down to Josef Hofmann in
our day.
John Sebastian Bach achieved fame in boyhood
as an organist. At ten years of age he was an
expert player on the violin and harpsichord. Han
del in early childhood, proved that ne had been
born for a musical career by mastering several
instruments, and by his wonderful singing.
Mozart played the piano at four, and at five
years Of age composed music. At nine he wrote
sonatas and symphoHes-that found ready mar
ket with musical publishers. At eleven he COM
posed cantata. at twelve an opera, at thirteen
he wrote down from memory the ''MiSerere'' of
Allegri after having only once heard it sung in
the Sistine Chapel. At nineteen the marvellous
boy had won renow in all the great European
capitals From these early successes to his final
triumph, "The Enchanted Flute,' and his swan S
song, The Requiem" he constantly went on TO
perfection until early death arrested him on
the eve OF still greater triumphs.
Beethoven began in his fourth year that musical
education which ended in his becoming the great
est OF composers. Schubert began almost in in
fancy course OF instruction on the piano and
violin from his father. The professor to whom
he was sent at eight years of age declared that
he could teach him nothing. At thirteen he
composed sonatas, symphonies, masses, songs and
song, The Erl-King
Mendelssohn played the piano at seven and
appeared in public player at the age OF nine.
At fifteen he became known composer; at
sixteen he composed his famous overture to the
midsummer Nights Dream"
Chopin also wonder child' who at nine
years Of age played the most difficult music He
became renowned composer in boyhood.
Rossini's remarkable career began IN infancy.
While yet a boy he wrote cantatas and operas
Paganini, the greatest of violinists, first appeared
in public at nine years of age, and at fifteen
had become famous List entered upon his ca
reer at the age. and at fifteen was known
all over Europe.
Three of these youthful prodigies, Handel Ros-
SIM and List, lived 10 past their threee score and
ten. Bach died at sixty-five, Beethoven at fifty
seven, Paganini at fiftysix Chopin at forty, Mem
delssohn at thirty eight, and Mozart at thirty
seven. So it happened that these precocious
than falls to the lot Of dull and commonplace
humanity.
