NOT so YOUNG AS HE WAS.
Old Mans Marrow Escape Ruf1es
Cable Car Patrons.

After running the blockade of two or
three congested blocks, where the cable
car could advance only few inches at
a time, the gripman was endeavoring
to make up for lost time. Perhaps that
is why he did not see the old man who
came down the street waving his UNI
brella. just as the car whizzed by
Although the man with the umbrella
was old, there was fire in his eye and
determination in the lines about his
mouth. He intended to board that car.
Accordingly, he Sprang forward and
made a brave attempt to swing himself
on board. But the umbrella interfered,
and to the horror of the passengers
he fell backward, still holding ON, how
ever, by one hand. Several women
screamed, a young man attempted to
seize the old mans feet to keep them
from getting under the car. The con-
ductor saw the confusion, but not it's
cause, and therefore made no effort to
stop the car.
One passenger began to ring the
bell, and another to ring up fares. The
gripman stopped-at the next corner.
Then the old man got on the car,
and taking newspaper from his
pocket began to read. He was the only
passenger who was not visibly agitated
he was utterly oblivious of
the fact that his life had been in jeop-
ardy, or that he had aroused the deep
solicitude of every one who had wit
messed the accident.
The conductor looked dubious, it
seemed; that the old gentleman had es-
capped injury, and he did not seem to
want the subject mentioned.
The conductor, therefore, asked no
questions, but, retiring to the rear plat
form, he remarked to the smokers that
life on a cable car would be a good
many degrees less wearing if old men
would be old men, and not try to act
ike boys.
mo doubt he's been one Of EN- he
added, but he'd better not try to be
any longer"

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Mysterious ingredient Sent A.
Balfour For Ballyhooly Lemonade

Mysterious ingredient Sent A. J..
Balfour For Ballyhooly Lemonade.
First Lord of the Treasury Balfour
was once made the victim of a rather
effective ST. Patrick's day joke. On the
occasion alluded to an oak box, about
10 inches long, was sent to him at the
house of commons. On this being
opened q sprig of shamrock with a card
bearing the inscription. From a sin
cere admirer,' was disclosed to view
and through layer of some compound
a steel spring could be seen, says Cas-
sells Magazine. Mr.. Balfour is well
known for his extreme GOODNESS and
scorn of seeming danger, but the whole
thing was so strongly suggestive of an
internal machine of the worst descrip-
ton, that the services of an expert
were Immediately requisitioned.
When the expert arrived Mr.. Bal
four joined him in his endeavor to solve
the battling mystery. At first both
were puzzled but, the expert having
placed a particle of the compound on
his tongue, discovered that it was only
powdered sugar, favored with lemon.
The box was inverted, and out tumbied
an old corkscrew, a spiral spring, a
well-worn nutmeg crater and a piece
of paper, on which was written, Buy
the whisky yourself; you can then con-
coct the famous lemonade of Bally-
hOOly."

CATCHING A BLOCKADE RUNNER
HOW OUR BOYS CELEBRATED
THE FOURTH.
Destruction of the Big Steamer at
Mariel-Castine In Close Corner
Blockade of Havana.

New York, July BIN the following
letter to George Newton, of Newark,
N. J., j. A. Manley, formerly of Bloom
field, n. J., but now with the auxiliary
cruiser Badger, stationed off Havana,
gives an interesting account of the
sinking of a Spanish blockade runner
on the night of the Fourth of July.
Last Monday night" writes Man
ley, "our lookout saw a stranger and
we chased her for a while, then gave
up, as cur officers thought she was one
of the blockade fleet trying to fool u.s.
on and she chased her. Then the gun
beat Castine took a hand in the game.
1t seems that they tried hard to make
her come to, but her pilot knew his
business and got along the coast and
near to Mariel.
'As daylight appeared we were sig
nailed to come alongside the vessel.
When we reached her we found she was
large four-masted steamer and rather
than be caught she ran up high and dry
on the beach. The Castine had cor
nered herself between a Spanish gun
boat and the forts at Marie. The Prai-
RE tackled both and by maneuvering
nicely the Castine got out. She then
blaZed away at the blockade runner
Very soon the latter was a mass of fire
and burned all day long.
There were several explosions on
her and our officers feel confident that
she was loaded with ammunition.
1.-TWO Spanish gunboats are lodging
in and out of Mariel under protection
and if they ever overstep the bounds
they will see their finish. The little
Hawk is a very devil. She scoots along
like a flying machine and goes right in
close, daring them to waste their am
munition. They evidently have none to
waste, as they do not take any notice
Of her We lay about eight miles from
MORO Castle during the day and about
four or five at night.
I'VE have no lights at all and cannot
be seen. We got in a little too close
last night and a searchlight from MORO
dropped right on us. OF course we sud
denly disappeared.
THE boys have great sport during
leisure hours catching sharks. Several
small ones have been caught and the
officers make a great run for the best
souvenirs out of them.

WEATHER SERVICE EXTENDED.
Stations to Be Established On the
Caribbean Sea.

Washington, July 13-The most radi-
cal extension of the weather service
yet introduced will be operated by this
government, by the establishment of a
complete system of weather stations on
the Caribbean sea, for the benefit of all
nations whose interests lie in that re-
gion. Between 10 and II new stations
will be dispatched to the field in a
few days. While under the general SUI
pervision of Chief Moore of the weather
bureau, there will be a central station,
located probably at Kingston, Jamaica,
but possibly at either Santiago or
Guantanamo. Cuba, instead, which will
constitute the headquarters of Messrs.
Morrill, and Stockman, who will be in
direct control. There are three sta
tions now in operation, with which
weather warnings are now exchanged
every day between the two countries,
viz: Havana, surprising as 1t may
seem, and Kingston and st. Thomas.
The location OF the new stations is
contemplated to include BarranQuilla,
Colombia, st. Kits, Trinidad, Curacao,
Martinique, San Domingo and the Bar
BADGES.

Just As True Now.

The death of Charles Levi Woodbury.,
of Boston, recalls the old story in which
his father and Hassler, the great coast
figured. Hassler applied to
President Jackson for such an increase
of salary that the latter. pointed out
that it would exceed the remuneration
of the secretary of the treasury. Hass-
Ter, drawing himself up proudly, said:
"Mr. President, you can get 80 Wood

CUSTOMS FRAUDS.
New York Manufacturers Discover
Violations of the Law.

New York, July 1S.-The committee ap-
pointed by the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association to investigate customs
receipts and officials reported at a special
meeting OF the association today. The
report says. in a large number of cases in
VeStigated 'so-cailed reputable persons
have been guilty of violation of the law in
undertaking personal effects. 1t also
says that customs officers are concerned
in the frauds.
The association adopted resolutions that
the customs officials have acknowledged
that they knew of the violations of the
law which the committee discovered; that
the officials in charge of collection of Gus
toms duties have permitted gross favorit-
ism in the collection of duties on personal
effects in granting what is called the
courtesy of the port" and that there had
been q great disregard of duty.

AMERICAN VESSEL HELD.
Authorities at st. Thomas Riding a
High Horse.

st. Thomas. D. ". L, July 13.-The
Danish government, it is understood, will
refuse to allow the steamer Southland to
leave port. 1t is also reported that per-
mission will be refused to American war
on deposit here. and coal can only be
obtained in limited quantities from the
dealers. 1t is contended that the pur-
chase of the Southard's cargo was made
previous TO the declaration of war and
that, therefore, it is not subject to the
neutrality laws. 1t is probable. however,
that complications on the subject will
arise.
The steamer Southland cannot be identi-
fed in the marine registers in New York.
The vessel referred to may be the United
States steamer SOutherey, formerly the
British steamer Southerey, which was
last heard of on June 26, when she left
Hampton Roads for Key West.

Garcia Is Coming.

Washington, Sept. 2l.-It is expect
ed by members of the Cuban delega-
tion here that General Calixto Garcia,
second in command OF the Cuban
forces during the war, will come to
this country in the course Of the next
two weeks, visiting New York, Balti-
more and Washington. His coming
is looked forward to with much inter-
est, in view Of the prominent part he
took in the military operations around
Santiago, and the unfortunate clash
between him and General Shafter
following the surrender OF the city.
His presencein this country is likely
to raise question regarding the old
criminal proceedings pending against
him. During the height OF the Cuban
llibustering, Garcia was arrested and
brought before the federal court al
Baltimore on charge Of directing
one Of the leading expeditions. He
was released on bonds and then left
at the head of the expedition he had
organized, FORGETTING his bond. At
the time, he made public statement
to the effect that the cause Of Cuba
warranted his escape from legal pros
ecution, and that when the war was
over be would voluntarily return and
give himself up to the officers Of the
law. 1t is understood that, II the
government intends to push the pros
ecution of these tilibustering cases,
Garcia will visit Baltimore and carry
out his promise to become amenabls
TO the courts.
There has been some talk OF a visit
to this country by General Gomez,
