had enjoyed comparatively good
health, and being relieved from the
responsibilities which he had borne
for so many years he became more
cheerful than formerly. and seemed to

About two weeks ago, however, he
took longer ride than usual in an

Eold, which rapidly developed the kid

From that time he sank rapidly.

FIRED ON AMERICAN OFFICERS.
Cuban Deliberately Shoots at Them
From an Ambush.

A dispatch from Havana says: Colonel
Black, Major Kane, General Lees chief sur
geon, and Captain Stafford of the fth Cav
airy went to Playa de Marianao, about six
miles from Havana. Tuesday. Major Kane
and Captain Stafford, who were riding in an
ambulance left Colonel Black and drove on
along a lonely road protected on each side
by heavy underbrush. Suddenly they heard
the report of gun and bullet whistied
close to them. Quickly getting down from
the vehicle they saw Cuban kneeiing in
the roadway about 100 yards off. Aiming
his rifle at them apparently he fired again,
the bullet passing over their heads. The
officers were unarmed, but they swore
roundly at the Cuban. who disappeared in
the brush. The general belief is that the
affair is not serious, and the officers them
selves treat 1t as joke. They say, that
otherwise it would have been impossible
to miss them at such short range. They
add, however, that If they had been armed
themselves there would probably have been
a Cuban funeral.

POLITICS IN BUSINESS.
The French Government Wanted q
Ras.ian Town to Break Its Contract

A queer mixture of International politics
ard business Is reported to the State De-
pertinent by United States Consul Heenal
al Odessa. Russia He says that, through
Its ambassador at St. Petersburg, the
French government asked to have con-
tract for the supply of large quantity of
iron water pipe taken from an American
firm and given to French firm, on the
ground that the close relationship existing
between Russia and France entitled them
TO favors OF this kind. The Russian for
eign Office took the matter up. and the
governor of Odessa was directed to see
what could be done. He was obliged to
report that the town refused to cnanSe its
arTang ements. being satisfied with Its con-
tract with the Americans. whose pipe was
better and cheaper. 1t was also pointed out
that the specifications called for pipe of d
certain quality and shape which the French
could not make. The ambassador requested
that the specifications be altered to suit
the French pipe, but the town declined for
the reason that the best engineering skill
favored the American shape. The consul
transmits specifications of the proposed
waterwOrkS for the town of Nicolaiev
which he desires brought 20 the attention
OF American firms with view to their bid
ding.

SLAP AT BISHOP POTTER.
In Bishop HuntingdOn's Address Be
fore Episcopal Convention.

At the convention of the central New
York diocese of the Episcopal Church at
Oswego Bishop F. d. Huntingdon. in his
annual address, condemned Bishop Potter
and Prof, Briggs in these words:
Needless public occurrences have lately
done deplorable injury to the great cause
to which We all alike owe our supreme
allegiance. Since the first few generations
after Pentecost, the power the extension,
the doctrine, the worship, the defense of
the Christian faith, have been inseparable
from the Holy Scriptures of the Old and
New Testaments as a book. The proofs of
this fact they appear in every depart
ment of Christian learning and literature,
from the beginning IN system and treaties.
in corporate and personal religion, in insti-
buttons of education, charity and the
preaching of the gospel. In missions and
reforms, are too plain and too all-pervading
to be named here.
II suppose 1t was too much to say, not
referring now to what the church has
owed to these writings before they were
formally brought together In the canon,
that 1t Is impossible to see how the church
could have kept its integrity, its authority,
its unity, its practical force in the living
world without them; that Is, how Christian
ity could have survived.
An unshrinking attempt by any ordain-
ed minister to fix terms of contempt, ridi-
cule, incredulity, upon the matchless and
singular volume which has declared itself
through ages. without efrectual dispute to
be the word of God, which has been
handled with awe in the highest seats of
law and courts of judgment, which has
been pressed with adoring gratitude to the
breasts of martyrs, saints, statesmen and
seers; which has saturated litanies, mis-
sails, prayer books, altar anthems and au-
gust obsequies with its unearthly spirit and
glorified them with its grandeur, could
have been only offensive by Its impertinence
and amazing by its audacity.
Nothing can persuade me that any bish-
CD of the church of God can be compelled
to lay ordination hands for the Christian
priesthood by any known law of God or
the church, on any man he deems unworthy
of the office and its sanctitieS-the church
continuing to pray at the ember season for
all bishops that they may faithfully and
wisely make choice of fit persons to serve
| in the sacred ministry of the church. What
| kind of man would accept the office If there
were such compulsion?"

FOR A TREATY WITH BERMUDA.
Mr.. Tower Authorized to Begin Ne.

The movement in the British West Indies
to develop their trade relations with the
United States has now extended to Ber-
muda, and in addition to the three other
treaty negotiations now in progress, Mr.
Tower. the British charge d'affaires, has

Charpentier, the special reciprocity dele

Mr.. Kasson. 1t is said that much progress
was made in getting at the basis of ex-

can be signed is still problematical. 1t Is

one including champagnes, which are an
important branch of French trade with the

A Negro Turning white.


lii slavery days Susquehanna and Wayne
counties had many stations of the under
ground railroad for slaves escaping from
the south to Canada Among the slaves to
escape was Tom Harris, who was owned by
Colonel Harris of Culpeper, Va. AS soon
as war was declared Tom returned from
Canada to Wayne county, where he has
since lived. doing odd jobs on farms.
When Tom came to Wayne county he was
as black as the lace of spades" but for the
last three years white spots have appeared
upon his person. and today he is more than
two-thirds white. Each succeeding white
spot is larger and whittier than the one pre-
ceding, and their coming is accompanied by
intense pain and itching. Toms hair, once
twisted and 'ldnky." is gradually straight
ening. and he expresses the belief thai be-
fore long he will be las white as any man
in Wayne county" Toms singular trans
formation Is interesting the scientists of thu

Subject Of Comment.

The imposition of a fine by Judge KIM
ball upon the policeman named for alleged
cruelty to a dog, the officer having used
his club instead of his revolver in putting
the animal to death, has been the subject
of good deal of public comment. 1t was
the occasion of communication from the
superintendent of police to the Commits
sioners, as noted in The Star; the reference
of the points raised to the attorney for the
District, and the rendering of opinion
by that officer to the Commissioners, the
text of which was printed in The Star of
yesterday, to the effect that policemen are
authorized by law to kill mad dogs or those
suspected of rabies whenever and wherever
found and that they were not restricted to
the use of their revolvers in the execution
of that duty.
When approached by The Star a day or
so ago for a statement concerning the pub
lished allegations against the propriety of
his action. Judge kimball declined to say
anything. but since the appearance in print
of the opinion of Attorney Duvall, the
judge addressed the foregoing communica-
ton to the District Commissioners, which
presents his side of the controversy.
