The unknown derelict which was picked
up at sea off Liscomb and towed to Hail
fax. N s., proves to be the American
schooner James NJ Seamen, which sailed
from Apalachicola on Feb. for Boston,
with a cargo of yellow pine lumber. She
was commanded by Capt. Pendleton and
manned by crew of ten men, all of
whom, it is believed, persisted when the
that the vessel drifted north to the coast
of Nova Scotia, and beyond a doubt had
on board a deck load, which may have
been the actual cause of the disaster. Her
official number, $500, was the only means

DEATH OF ARANGUREN.
Colonel Parker Sheds New Light on
This Cubau Tragedy.

From the Washington Post.
The story of conditions as they exist
today in Cuba was told last night at
All Souls church by Colonel Myron NJ.
Parker, who recently returned from a
trip to the suffering island, in company
with Senator Proctor. Much that
Colonel Parker related in his lecture
has already been given in his own in
terviews and in the recent statements
of Senator Proctor before the senate.
One feature of the lecture, however,
was his story, told incidentally, of the
execution of Colonel Ruiz and the kill
ing of General Aranguren, the insur-
gent leader. 1t differed somewhat
from that Of previous reports, and was
interesting, Mr.. Parker having learned
it from the most reliable sources. Ruiz
and Aranguren, prior to the outbreak
Of the war; were fast friends in Ha-
vana, where the former was inspector
of the water works. Aranguren joined
the insurgents and took to the field,
while Colonel Ruiz remained in Ha-
vana, and with the advent of General
Blanco became an autonomist.
General Aranguren was then with his
brigade in Havana, province and Col
onel Ruiz suggested to General Blanco
that he could induce him to surrender.
About that time the order of General
Gomez was issued and General Aran-
guren, upon learning that Colonel Ruiz
was about to come to him from Cen
eral Blanco, in an effort to induce him
to surrender, notified his friend that he
would be glad to meet him for the sake
of old times, but there must be no
mention of his official mission. Not
withstanding this Ruiz, as soon as he
reached the camp, began addressing
the troops, offering autonomy. Cen
eral Aranguren cautioned him, saluted
and rode away, while the next officer
in command had Ruiz placed under ar
rest, and after court-martial, Ruiz was
executed. General Blanco, hearing the
misfortune had overtaken Ruiz, sent
1000 troops to find him, and after learn
ing the location of General Aranguren' s
headquarters from a negro traitor, who
had been in the camp, they surrounded
the house, and as General Aranguren
appeared. saying he would surrender
they riddled him with bullets.
Such treatment Of Cubans, Colonel
Parker said he learned, was not infre-
quent. In fact, prior to six months ago
it was the rule. Responsible persons
had, however, informed him that such
was not the treatment accorded to
Spaniards by the insurgents.

lie Told 1t to n GTaphOphOne, That

TO Ielephones ana lhhi 10 him.
From the Galesburg Evening Mail,
w. +. Terry, Of Galesburg, has been
having considerable fun lately with his
brother-in- law, DR.. Huh, of Kewanee,
and perpetrated a joke on him the
other day that was as unique as orig
inal Mr.. Terry has a graphophone,
and few days ago sent the machine
to Kewanee, where some of his rela-
tives talked into it. DIR. Hall happen
ed to find some extra cylinders. and so
he talked a fake story of one of Mr.,
Terry's big deer shots in the northern
woods last fall.
OF course the owner of the machine
was greatly astonished when he was
trying the cylinders after the graphic
phone had been returned to him in
hearing such a tale about himself Re-
cognizing the voice, he determined to
have some sport with ii. Yesterday he
called up DR. Hall by telephone in his
office in Kewanee and said that man
wanted to speak with him.
After some further preliminary re-
marks between the two ends of the
line, Mr. Terry placed the mouth of the
graphophone near the drum of the tel
ephone and turned the switch. Hold
ing the receiver to his ear, he could
hear the astonished exclamations of
the doctor, at the other end of the
line, who was listening to his own voice
thirty miles away. He agreed that the
joke was on him and offered to give up
II the fairy tale could only be suppress

FUN IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Judges Tell Humorous stories in the
Consultation Room.

judges Tell Hum orous stories in the
Consultation Room.
From the Chicago Record.
There is a good deal more fun con-
cealed under the imposing solemnity
OF the supreme court than the pub
lie would imagine, and several Of the
justices, particularly Justice Brewer
and Justice Shiras, are great wits.
The jokes they make and the stories
they tell in the consultation rooms
would make an interesting volume II
its secrets could be penetrated. But
the world only knows what transpires
in the court room, and much of that is
concealed by the rules of etiquette and
decorum. Although the chief justice
and his associates unite to protect the
dignity of that great bulwark OF the
constitution which they represent,
there is often a good deal Oh suppressed
fun in their efforts to defend it against
ignorant or irreverent attorneys.
They all agree that the most anus
ing incident that ever frightened the
solemnity of the supreme court cnam-
Der occurred several years ago, when
Justice Miller undertook to arrest the
flow of eloquence of an attorney who
was arguing his first case, an appeal
from the circuit court of western
state. The young lawyer was declaim-
ing at the rate of $50 words a minute
on some of the simplest principles of
law. which every attorney should fully
understand before he gets his diploma,
and, becoming weary after awhile,
Justice Miller interrupted the speaker
in a sarcastic tone, inquiring:
IT hope the learned counsel wilt-give
tire court the credit of knowing the
rudlments of law"
II beg the pardon of your homer"
replied the attorney in the blandest
manner "bus made that mistake in
the lower court"
A similar incident occurred more re-
Gently, when a young attorney from
the South became entangled in com
plications of his own creating aud was
floundering along in a hopeless attomnt
to eXtricate himself. Justice Brewer,
who is very kind-hearted and always
helps fellow mortal out of a difficulty
when he is able to do so, undertook
to play the part of a good Samaritan
and brought upon himself a shaft that
his associates on the bench will never
allow him to forget. Thinking that he
might relieve the embarrassment OF the
counsel and give him chance to
make fresh start, Judge Brewer in
terrupted him and said:
II don't quite follow the learned coun-
sci in his argument. Perhaps if he will
go back and repeat little of what
he has already said may understand
him better. l haven't been able to fol-
low the thread of his argument"
II noticed you couldn't" retorted the
unabasLed attorney. "It is very COM
plicated point of law, but IL you will
give me your close attention I will try
to make it so clear that you can under
stand it,
