DE Iome'S Abusive Letter.

The letter alleged to have been writ
ten by the Spanish minister to the
United States to Senior Canalejas, tenn
porsrily sojourning in Cuba, has not
been disavowed, and is probably gen.
uin.e. The language used by the minis
ter in privately describing the President
is a matter of taste. De LONE has ex-
hibited eXecrable taste, but so have the
majority of the Spanish dignitaries
They have not perhaps, used billings
gate about the President, but they have
repeatedly charscterized' the people of
America as a nation of lowborn shop
keepers. The destiny of Cuba is to be
free, whilst the destiny of Heurich's beer
is to be forever the fayorite beverage in
Washington, and il never has been dis
avowed the position which it now holds,
leading the list OF pure and wholesome
articles

THE POLITE OLD GENTLEMAN.
A Commotion Caused by His Liking
for u Glass of Water
From the New York SUM

(From the New York SUM
There was a cOmmotion at the cash
ier's desk Of the cheap lunchroom. and
an elderly gentleman went out talking in
a loud tone and shaking his fist at the
cashier.
What was the trouble?" asked the in
quisitive customer.as he paid the amount
Of his check.
Nothing at all said the cashier
''only called him down. That's ALL He
always comes in here along about this
time. a little after midnight, when there
is rush of men from the newspaper Of
fees. OF course. j don't keep track OF
people who are coming i'm. [ have all I
can do to watch those who are going out
to make sure that they stop TO pay their
checks. This old gent pops up in front
Of tn Cesk every night just when I'm
busiest and grins and bows, pleasant as
a pineapple pie.
g Thank YOU he says for a glass of
your very excellant water Then he goes
on out in a hurry. Perhaps he has come
in. gone to the water cooler, taken a
a drink and come right out Perhaps

himself with beef and hash, sinkers, and
coffee. But his bluff has always been so
very smooth when he thanks me for a
glass Of our very excellent water that I
haven't had the nerve 10 stop him. To-
night the place was not as busy as usual,
so 1 stopped him.
Excuse me. sir said I, but what a
minute. How do / know you haven't had
anything but a glass of water?''
II never saw man get mad so quick
in my life. He most bounced up on the
counter, he was so mad. He said that
he was one Of the proprietor's best
friends, that he was the brother-in-law
of the general manager and father of
most of the mattresses In our uptown
branch. He says my job here won't be
worth boot down a dumb waiter shaft
tomorrow.
Il s'pose he's right" he ruefully con-
cluded, land I'm a goner. But If / am

gets anything more than water If I let
