near being successful, but the Sheriff
walked off with him nevertheless and
brought him to Marietta without incl

forged the name of Lottie Bacher, of

amount, according to the spurious con-
tract, was to be paid in installments.

THAT it makes a difference whose OK
is gored is shown by the frantic pro-
tests against the confirmation of the
nomination of John II. Deveaux, a
Georgia colored man, to be Collector OF
Customs at Savannah, that are keep
ing the wires hot between Savannah
and Washington since President McKip-
ley sent the nomination of DeveauX to
the Senate. One of the best reasons
for saying that the nomination will be
confirmed is the fact that the white
men of Savannah who are doing the
protesting have almost to a man rec
commended Deveaux as proper man to
be collector at Brunswick, Ga, and in
writing, too. If he was all right for
collector at Brunswick, why isn't he all
right fer collector at Savannah? The
only objection raised to Deveaux is his
color, and there is less prejudice against
that in the U. S. Senate than there is
in Savannah.

1T is creditable to the good sense and
statesmanship of the members of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
that they should have been unmoved by
the prevailing excited condition in
Washington and have acted upon the
sular appropriation bill, proposed by
Senator Allen, providing for a recog-
milton of the beligerency of the Cubans
just as though there were no excite
ment. The committee by unanimous
vote decided to make an unfavorable
report upon the amendment, because
they did not believe appropriation bills
the proper vehicles for riders bearing
upon questions affecting our foreign
relations, decision that. will be en-
dorsed BY large majority of our peo-
pie. This action would have been q
good thing, no matter who had pro-
posed the amendment, but it is doub-
ly good thing as rebuke to Senator
Allen, who did not offer the resolution
to help the Cubans, but with the hope
that it might embarrass the admins
tration. The administration, and not
individual Senators or Representatives
is held responsible for the foreign pol
icy of the government, and the Presi-
dent who acted upon his personal SYM
pathy, instead of upon his calm judg-
ment of what was best for the welfare
of the country, would not be worthy of
his high Office.

WASPS IN THE PULPIT.
Nest of the Fiery Insects Made in the
Minister'S Pocket.

Nest of the Fiery Insects Made in the
Minister's Pocket.
A well-known Pittsburgh preacher
tells an amusing incident of his early
career, when he was serving country
church. The time was midsummer
One Sunday morning he was unable to
find his conventional black frock, and
at the last moment his wife persuaded
him to wear an ordinary coat which had
been lying on a porch for several days.
A large family of wasps had taken
shelter in one Of the roomy pockets, but
in his hurry to get to the pulpit the
young minister did not have time to ex-
anime the contents of the coat.
When he arrived at the country
chapel the congregation was waiting,
The services had already commenced
by singing. AS the aspiring preacher
walked up the aisle peculiar buzz was
heard coming from the minister's per-
son. Entering the pulpit he began his
sermon by reading q passage of Scrip
ture. Then he started in on his sermon.
He had not gone far with the discourse
until he began to find something de-
cidely wrong. 1t annoyed him. Soon
the sprightly wasps began to crawl out
Of their nest and few about the min
ister's head. He stood the ordeal as
long as he could with any degree of
peace of mind. Then the sermon was
brought to a speedy close and with a

HOW THE LETTER GOT OUT.

From the New York Tribune.
The history of how the letter was
obtained by the Cubans is, so far as
the officials of the Junta are concerned
sealed book, but the facts of how it
was obtained are being disclosed grad
ually by individuals who are interested
in the cause. From the statements OBJ
tanned from various people yesterday
the facts appear to be these: A strong
Cuban sympathizer entered the service
of Canalejas and obtained the letter
from his employers desk at the hotel
at which he was stopping in Havana.
The letter was taken from bundle of
other papers, and in order that it
would not be missed at one the envel-
ope was left in the bundle. AS soon as
the letter was obtained it was taken to
Consul General Lee, who studied it
carefully and then cabsled it's contents
in cipher to Washington. AS soon as
the letter had been shown to the con-
sui general it was brought to the
United States by the man who OBJ
tanned it. He at once showed it to the
Junta, which proceeded to verify it by
comparison with other letters of De
LONE, at the same time su ubmitting it.
with other letters known TO be in his
handwriting, to experts. After this
was done 7. Estrada Palma and Col
Nunez, of the Junta, took the letter to
Washington and submitted it to the
State Department which carefully in
vestigated it before acting upon the
matter. The proofs, according TO the
Cubans, were in the hands of the State
department long before the letter was
made public. The letter, according to
the same authorities, was received in
New York shortly after January TO-
and was placed at the disposal of the
State department as soon as it was
proved authentic.

BLACk-TAlLED cRUNTs LUCK.
How They Managed to Get Their
Fill of Shrimps Daily.

Fill of Shrimps Daily.
The varieties of fishes at the Aqua
rum number more than the tanks
there, so it is necessary to double up
some of them. putting more than one
variety in a tank. One of the tanks
thus stocked contains three moohfish
from Gravesend bay. and four black
tailed or blue-striped, grunts from the
Bermudas, says the New York Sun.
One of the regular articles of food
on the Aquarium bill of fare is shrimps;
pretty much all fishes are fond of them.
In summer when shrimps are plentiful
and easily obtained, they are fed more
or less freely to all; in winter. when
shrimps are scarce and difficult to OBJ
tain. they are fed only to such fishes
as need them for their well being. or
that must be pampered along to keep
them. OF this last class are the moon
fish; they must have shrimps. and
shrimps are fed to them.
The moonfish are lively and quick
but the black-tailed grunts in the same
tank are live!ier and quicker still. The
grunts, if they couldn't get anything
better, would eat cut-up herring and
pieces of clam. and do well on II; but
they don't eat such coarse food when
they can get shrimps, as they can here.
At feeding time they snap up food in
tended for the moonfish as fast as the
shrimps are put into the water. giving
the moonfish next to no show at all.
Thus the blaek-tailed grunts are in
great luck. They get their fill of
shrimps daily, and not until they are
satisfied DO the moonfishes come in for
their daily meal.
