y towns streets should be the public
lawns and public parks. They should
be to the corporation as a whole what
the Grass plot in front Of the house is
to the individual resident. There is no
higher evidence Of the taste and re-
finement, enterprise and intelligence Of
a community, than well-paved streets,
bordered with fine boulevards and
handsome shade trees. Ill-kept, badly
laid-out streets speak of public poverty
and narrownesS, and utter absence Of
that spirit which should possess every
citizen loyal to his towns interests and
wisely attentive to his own. Public
streets, substantially paved and boule-
varded, will in turn encourage a SINH
lar treatment of the private property
adjoining them. There is. no departure
which would so instil patriotism and
love Of home and country as perfect
ing our streets and highways. These
sentiments of the Ontario, Canada,
Commissioner of Roads, are as good
in the States as in the Dominion.

The prospects were improved, how
ever, during the day. when the National
Cycle Track Association, controlling
fourteen bicycle tracks in the larger
cities, made known their plans. de-
cided upon at a meeting in Boston en-
the day before. According to these
plans the association will employ on
salary riders, two short distance riders,
one long distance rider and one un-
paced rider and a staff of twenty-four
paceInakers. These men will race upon
the tracks of the association, meeting
all corners, in first one city and then
another. The principal contests will
be held at Manhattan Beach and al
Charles River Park, Boston.
The men to be engaged have not been
decided upon. but the middle distance
riders probably will be chosen from
Linton, Taylore, McDuffie, Hamilton
and Gardiner
The association has revised the dates
of the Grand National Circuit, subject
to the approval of the Chairman Of the
L. A. w Racing Board, and the circuit
will open at Manhattan Beach on May
Dist. Prizes in all the open mile
events on the circuit will be $3.50 for
first. 500 for second and $40 for third.
1t was decided TO have racing teams
connected with each track and to pro-
mote inter-city team contests on the
same plan followed by baseball leagues.

VICTIMIZED SPANIARDS.
The Men Have Not Been Paid for Months
Some for Years, and Their Re-
serve Pay Stolen.

Havana, Nov. 13.-(Via Key West,
Fla, Nov. 14.)-The mutiny of the or.
den publico forces, which for two days
threatened the peace of this city, has
resulted in the dissolution of that
body, when, after payment of some
arrears and the promise of a full liq-
uidation, the revolving troops laid
down their arms. Capt.-Gen. Blanco
then ordered all the foot and mounted
regiments of the orden publico to be
~disbanded, that organization ceasing
to exist from this date.
AS originally planned, it was intend
ed that the mutiny should have ex-
tended to the cardia civil and the ar
tilleyy regulars, and it would in that
event might perhaps have inaugurated
a reign of terror and bloodshed in the
island.
For some time past the uprising of
the troops in consequence of the nom
receipt of their pay has been feared.
Not only is their pay owing for
months, and in some cases for years,
but the reserve pay of the soldiers,
their savings since the date of their
enlistment, which were looked upon
by them as sacred, have been stolen.

A BIGAMISTS DIARY.

Charles Woodruff Is the champion big
amist Of the world. He has been married
20 times to as many different women. His
average residence with them was about
three months. One never saw hin after the
wedding ceremony-ne!ther did she ever
see again about $50 worth of jewelry in
trusted TO his keeping. In W~oodruff's diary
were found the following observations on
women love and matrimony:
indignation renders q person elo-
quent indeed.
Marriage often kills love, just as it
gave it being.
Love can be crueler than friendship;
Indifference than hate.
Sentiment is nothing but thought
blended with feeling.
Love is a fleeing something. tits like
the horizon. always just ahead.
Where u hopes lie, there We most
easily deceive ourselves.
Love is not a common thing. Sordid
ambition is taking its time-honored
place.
Love in the hands of n fin-de-slecle
man is like clay in the potter's hand.
You can do with it what you wish.
There is no such thing as killing the
love we have for one, but there is such
a thing as killing the joy there is in
that love.
Sometimes a woman's thoughts are
vaguely recorded on her face; at other
times the face photographs the emo
tons and thoughts.
You can easily get over caring for
persons, but you can't get over liking
them. If you like them because hey
are sweet and pure, that is what hurts.
I sometimes feel liks the alchemist
who spends days and nights beside his
~retorts, that he may not miss the mo-
ment for which he has longed for and
waited for

One on the Judge,

In a case of SANDER that was heard not
long ago a lady had gone into the witness
box on behalf of the plaintiff, whose coun-
sci was examining her.
"Now. madam" the lawyer began, "please
repeat the slanderous statements made by
the defendant on this occasion, just as you
heard them"
ooh, they are unfit for any respectable
person to heart" was the emphatic answer.
"Then," said the examiner. coaxingly,

q TO SHAKE N

A hostess shakes hands with any and
every guest brought to her house by
her friends. She does so on their ar.
1ival and on their departure.
When an introduction is made be-
tween two ladies, whether they shake
hands or not is determined by side is
sues. Generally speaking. the received
rule is not to do so, but only to bow.
but then follow all the various excep-
tons that induce ladies introduced to
do otherwise-that Is to say, shake
hands at once.

The British Collier RestormeI.

The judge advocate general of the
navy has transmitted to the fourth au-
ditor of the treasury the legal docu-
ments in the EAST of the British col
lier Restormel, which was captured by
Capt. Sigsbee when in command of the
auxiliary cruiser st. Paul, off Santiago,
to which port the steamer was bound
in an attempt to deliver coal to Ger
vera's squadron. Had the mission OF
the Restormel been successful, it is
not likely that the Spanish vessels
would have remained SC long as they
did in Santiago harbor, and probably
they would have escaped before Adj
miral Sampson had an opportunity to
establish the systematic blockade
which eventually resulted in their
swift destruction.
The Steamer Released, but Her Cargo q
Prize.
Although the Restormel was re-
leased by the American prize court,
her cargo was declared withinth the prize
statutes Ind was appraised at $751;
000. According to the law half of this
amount goes to the government and
the other half to the officers and crew
of the vessel making the capture. The
treasury department is fully prepared
to make the payments at once, and
within a few days it is expected that
government checks will be mailed to
all aboard the st. Paul entitled to par
ticipation in the $4,000. including the
employees of the American line who
volunteered Tor service on the steamer
when she was commissioned in the
navy.
How the Money is Divided.
AS Capt. Sigsbee at the time of the
capture was acting independently of
Gny superior officer. he will receive the
maximum share ever allowed to a COM
manding officer by the statutes. which
is three-twcntieths of the net pro-
ceeds of the prize. amounting in this
instance 10 1915, the remaining $5.525
being divided among all others borne
upon the books of the ship at the rates
of their respective pay. Had the Re-
Sormel been of equal or superiorf force
to the st. Paul, none of the money
have been decreed to the United
States, but the entire prize would have
gone to the ST. Paul.
