crane, however, Is not attracting
merely the attention of the other
dweiiers of the park, for every day or
two a large human audience watches
his performance. The crane catches
sparrows and It is the efforts he makes
to swallow his prey which cause spec
tators to gather by the score. The
crane stands quietly like a statue and
waits. The srarrows fly about fear
iessly, not even startled by the strange
bird. They have sren rags on a stick
before and they are not afraid; oh. no!
Then one of the sparrows. lights very
near the crane. The rag becomes live

ming qucknrss and the sparrow caught
right by tho neck.
Then comes the fun. The sparrow is
a little large to swallow. The crane
kills him, thinking the small birds
lively capers must be the cause of the
difficulty. Death makes the task no
easier. The sparrow still chokcs the
crane. The crane tries the sparrow
head on. The small birds wings stick
out and prevent the sparrow from 60

SPANISH-CUBAN FINANCES.
Tae Enormous Debt Incurred by the
spaniRrds I'm Trying to Sub
due the Guiana. -

The separate public debt of Spain,
says o writer in the Review of Reviews,
now amounts to about $1,000, 0OO, 900.
This would appear not to include the
debt which the Spaniards have fas-
tened upon Cuba, and which must now
amount to at least $500, 100000, and the
interest upon which is paid out of the
revenues collected in Cuba. The vast
debt settled upon the impoverished
island represents nothing whatever ex-
cept the expenses incurred by the
Spaniards themselves in fighting the
Cubans. A great part of 1t undoubted-
n represents money stolen by Spain's
corrupt civil and military establish
ments. Now, if Cuba should succeed
in winning her independence, it was
obvious that she would give herself no
concern whatever with any part of
Spain's indebtedness. none of which
had ever been incurred by the authori-
ty OF the Cuban people and none of
which had ever been expended for their
benefit-while, on the contrary, a
great part of it had been expended in
diabolical warfare against them.
Not only was there involved in the
question of SPANS continued sover-
eighty in Cuba the $780, 900 of So
called Cuban indebtedness, but there
was further involved, undoubtedly, the
total bankruptcy of Spain. That is to
say, the value of the $1,5CO, OOO, 900 of
indebtedness issued directly in the
name of the Madrid government, of
which something like thousand mil
lions was in the form Of the permanent
consolidated four per cent. debt, was
IN dire peril. The prospect Of war with
he United States to be followed by
SUDAN freedom, has been causing the
steady decline of the Spanish con-
ISOLATED fours in the money market of
Europe.

A Birthday Party.

No more pleasant incident has for years
come TO the citizens living along the bor-
der line OF Jenner and Qlemahoning
townships than occurred on Wednesday, i,
the 18th inst. The occasion WAS tbs sew
enty-third anniversary Of the birth Of Da-
vid Bowman. one Of the highly esteemed
citizens Of the community. Within few
days MIR. Bowmsn's intention to leave
the farm and go to town has been made
known 10 his old neighbors, and they all
seemed to vie with each other in their at
tempts TO make his last birthday in his
old home the most pleasant of his whole
life. About eleven O'Clock q. m., as Mr.
Bowman and his good wife were busily
engaged gathering together articles to be
sold at the public vendne that is adver-
tisei for week later, they were surprised
to see several Of their neighbors drop in,
arrayed in their sunday go to meeting
! fix-ups" In a few minu,e= others arTi-
we'd. and inside a quarter of an hour from
the time OF the arrival of the first. every
foot Of space in front Of the dwelling was
taken up by some kind of vehicle. and
baskets without number were being un-
loaded and transferred 10 the kitchen.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowman were very soon
given TO understand that they were TO act
the part OF guests. and to be entertained,
rather than 10 be burdened with the duty
Of entertaining others. By twelve o'clock
the large table, arranged 10 extend from
one 70 the other Of the spacious dining
room, was loaded with the choicest fruits
Of the land, the bill of fare embracing al
most everything that the earth, air or sea
is capable Of producing to meet the wants
of man. While at the table the writer
took occasion to note the presence of the
following named persons: Rev. Wetzell
and wife, Jonas Msnrer and wife Aaron
BlOugh and wife, Thomas Gallagher and
wife, Cornelius Alexander and wife, Ma
thias Alexander and wife, Lavan Bow
man and wife. y. B. Critchfeld and wife.

iels, wife and family. Alexander Maurer.
wife and family, Samuel Bates, Mrs. Irv-
in Cunningham, Mrs. William Maurer,
Mrs. Harry Pile, Mrs. Orten ID. Barnet,
and Miss Made Critchfield. Whether
any escaped without being counted is not
certainly nown.
After dinner few hours were spent in
very pleasant social intercourse. the con-
versation taking quite wide range, EN-
braciug the subjects of religion, morals,
civil government, politics and education.
At four o'clock Rsv. Wetzsil, the pastor
OF the family, called the company togeth-
er, and after reading in a most impressive
manner the ninetieth Psalm, be engaged
in fervent prayer that the same hand that
led our friend and neighbor from child
hood up through the years Of his most
active manhood 70 the point attained be-
yond the three score years and ten
might lead all who were present safely

last conduct them into those green pas
