Handicapped By His diamond.

A New Orleans gentleman In the cotton
trade is the possessor of fine old-mine
diamond of extraordinary brilliancy, which
weighs about three carats and a half and
is valued well up in four figures, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. Happy
possessor," is the stereotyped phrase in
reference to such an article, but the gem

brought him anything but joy IAN I'M
usually large or valuable stone is an in
fernal nuisance" he said the other day
This diamond of mine is just big enough
to attract unpleasant attention, and
good many people set down the wearer of
such a thing as some kind of gambler or
sport. A fellow has to live 1t down. so to
speak, and convince strangers that he is
decent sort of chap in spite of his Jew
elry. Then, again, it is only common sense
to take special precautions against losing
it. do not trust the solitaire to an ordi-
nary spiral, but the setting is arranged
with a suitable nut and spring catch at
the back which hangs to 1t like grim death
and digs hole in my manly chest
THE device Is rather hard to work. and
when l try to put it in clean shirt the
chances are two to one that 1 ruin the
bosom of several before succeed. l am
really afraid to figure up the amount of
money the COMPOUNDED thing has cost me
in laundry bills, enough to build a small
house, I expect Then the sight of such
stone incidentally suggests that the owner
is rolling In riches, whereas he may be
rolling in poverty. A few years ago
sharp turn in the market left me mighty
hard up for the time being, and whenever
I would meet a creditor land 1 had a fine
collection of EN- just them he would look
reproachfully at my diamond. Several of
them told me that they couldn't see why a
man should be broke with a headlight like
that under his chin. II seemed unnatural,
homogeneous, and they accordingly receiv-
ed my protestations with suspicion. Add
to all this the haunting fear that the gem
will be lost and the real. actual damage
of getting sand-bagged on account of it
some dark night, and you will understand
why the possession of that kind of an or
nament is not an unmixed delight"

CURA,s GoVERNMENTs.

And so the autonomist government
which Spain undertook TO establish in
Cuba just before the American people
took a notion to tell Spain to get out of
that island is attempting to take hand
in dealing with commissioners which the
President sent to Havana to arrange for
the evacuation of the island by the Span
iards. II is doubtful If our commissioners
will pay any attention to il. If they should
they would. in all probability, soon find
themselves entangled in a net work of
troublesome questions. This autonomous
government claims to represent the great
majority of the property owners of the is
land. and the chances are it does, but it
does not represent the majority of the
people. That it represents Spain there is
no doubt. That being established our COM
missioners ought to have no hesitation in
steering clear of il. They were sent to
Havana TO arrange for the evacuation of,
the island by the Spaniards, and they
ought to give their whole attention to
that matter.
But the autonomous government doni-
ciled at Havana is not the only govern
ment that claims the right to speak for
Cuba. The co-called Cuban republic has
its government in the eastern part of the
island, and its chief officers are attempt
ing to administer Cuba's affairs with as
much solemnity as if there were no rival
government in Havana and Spain and the
United States had withdrawn from the
island.
Does this dual government in Cuba mean
trouble for us? The chances are that it
does. The government at Havana is al
ready troublesome, and the one in the
eastern part of the island may become so
any day. If the President should show
the slightest favor TO one of them the
other would want to start revolution
at once.
Immediately after Spain sued for peace
some of our optimistic statesmen ex-
pressed the opinion that we would have
no particular trouble in pactfying Cuba
and giving her an. enlightened and stable
government. They are now revising that
opinion. The outlook for a speedy settle
ment of the chief questions which relate
to Cuba is moi by any means promising.
We may need in Cuba more taan the Co.
600 troops which it is proposed to have
there when Spain leaves the island.

Faro Built the Church.

Bishop Worthington, of Omaha, says the
Chicago Chronicle, is now strict church
man. His sermons are severe in doctrine
and hold out little hope to sinners unless
they repent. However, the bishop knows
human nature. He learned 1t in the best
school for an education of that kind-the
far West.
Years ago, when Mr.. Worthington was
recent graduate from the theological SEMI
nary, he began his gospel work in Butte
Mon. The town was then a mining camp
pure and simple. 1T had saloons, dance
halls and gambling rooms, but neither
church nor school Its inhabitants were
rough, tough and ready--manliness was
their god, and it was this manliness which
made the West what 1t is.
AT college Worthington was a boxer and
an oarsman. In Butte these accomplish
ments served him well, for they gave him
a strong arm and quick eye. His gospel
services We're held in a tent. There was no
money to build church.
One day, as he was walking along the
principal street, the bully of the town APP
preached him.
DO you want to fght?' asked the des-
perado.
mo" replied the Clergyman.
Then take thatr'
But that never came Worthington
warded off the blow and with his good
right fist sent the bully to grass in scien-
tihc fashion.
That night the affair was talked over in
Cy Henry's gambling house
like that chap Worthington,'' said Biz
johnson. He strikes good blow. Let's
all play for him tonight"
The proposition was agreed to and the
next morning $1,S00, won at faro was pre-
scented TO the minister. That money built
the first church in Butte.

Miss Winnie Davis possessed an accom-

dressing one Of a party of gentlemen in
manner which causes each and every 9TH

stage effect, has rendered her the most

Miss Davis entertain a score of men in the

fer such a title. Her death puts the whole

While my soldiers strove in fray.
Safe in Santiago Bay,
Anchored there our squadron lay
Woe to me, Espanal
Then from me the order came
Longer thus to lie were shame!
Forward to the feast of flame
Woe to me, Espana!
Madness well the admiral knew;
But his duty to pursue,
His was not to talk, but do
Woe to me, Espana!
But 1t came July the third,
Clear for action was the word.
And the, sound their spirit stirred
Woe to me, Espana!
Every flag on high appeared,
Every deck for action cleared,
Forth they went the foe to beard
Woe to me, Espana
Moved the squadron fast and free,
Through the channel to the sea
Not a grander sight could be-
Woe to me, Espana
Ali the foemen watched us well,
And a storm Of shot and shell
Fiercely on our vessels fell
Woe to me, Espana!
Throughout the battle fierce and hot,
Quick returning shot for shot,
Every Spaniard faltered not
Woe to me, Espana!
Mine were men of dauntless breed:
But the courage of the Cid

Shrinking not from perils dire
Stood they in that mass of fire.,
Fighting on their funeral pyre-

Driven to the rocky shore,
Calm and proud their fate they bore
Woe to me, Espanal
Though our star in luster waned,
Through the foe a. triumph gained,
Yet our honor is unstained-

Not o'erborne by many foes.

Hope is here, Espana.
Hope within us never dies;
Phoenix-like shall Spain arise

sort. Pure vinegar, MADE from the Juice

looking as the artificial product made from

preferred to buy by looks than by taste
and wholesomeness. There may be a
good deal Of truth in his statement
