TsPEe IAL coBREsPoNDENCE MONITOR.
Wasbington, Mag 22d, 1899.
President Mckinley is again on duty
at the White House. His two weeks
rest at the Hot Springs appear to have
done him lots of good, and he says
his rheumatic pains have entirely dis
appeared. His return and the Peace
Jubilee, which is to be held this week,
have attracted a number of promi-
nent men to Washington, for the pur-
pose of combining business and pleas
ure. Among them are friends of sew
eraI of the candidates for Speaker of
the House. The most interesting
news of the Speakership contest is the
statement, apparently well founded,
that friends of Representative Sher-
man and Henderson have made an
agreement whereby each is made the
second choice of the other, the idea
being to make sure that one or the
other of them gets elected. But Rep
resentative Payne, who is himself in
Washington, and the friends of Rep
resentative Hopkins, who are quite
numerous say they take no stock in
any such agreement.
The feeling is general in official cir
cles that the Cuban army has been al
lowed rope enough and that they
must either surrender their arms or
refuse to surrender them at once. IF
they refuse, the chances are that they
will be made to do so. The President
and his advisers thave been disposed
to treat these men verykleniently and
to humor their whims to as great an
extent as possible, without giving
them the idea that they were able to
dictate to us, but there is limit to
patience, and by their backing and
filling and pickering among them
selves, the Cubans have very near
reached that of the administration. It
is the understanding now that the dis
armament is to begin the latter part
of this week, but there have been
other similar agreements that were
not carried out.
Senator Kean of New Jersey, who
has been in Washington on business,
said on subject that has been much
talked about recently: "There has
been some effort to cite New Jersey
as a frightful example, because Of the
laws which invite corporations to or
ganize within our state, but our peo-
pie do not sympathize with this crit
icisn1. We compel the payment of a
fee, based on the amount Of capital
specified in the certificate of incorpo-
ration, whether the stock has been
issued or not, and the result is that
our revenues have increased this year
at least $500, 600 or $3.50, 900. The last
legislature made generous appropria-
tions for the blind asylum, the re-
formatory at Railway, the equipment
of the National guard and additional
payment to soldiers from our state,

Tho proposition for the establish.
ment of packing house at Medora for
the slaughter and packing of horse
meat has not been abandoned. A COM
pany composed of Boston. capitalists
Will probably put the plant in opera
ton this fall. The necessary capital
has been subscribed. railroad rates
have been secured, the horses arc rum
ming wild onsthe ranges and there is
no further reason for delay after Nov.
!. When the projectors first talked of
pickling and canning horse meat it
was their intention to at once engage
in the business. This was very early
in the spring after the horses had
passed throgh a very severe winter,
and they found that it would be much
more to their advantage to do the
packing in the fall and winter months,
when the animals were fat from their
summers feeding on the ranges. Since
that time the projectors have decided
also to establish u horse market for
the sale of the more desirable animals
to be found on the prairies. During
the past three months the price of de-
sirable horses for driving and heavy
horses have materially advanced and
by culling from the herds the best
stock it is estimated that the, company
will be able to find several thousand
horses that will be more valuable for
sale,in the market than they will be
for food.

MEANEsT OF THEM ALL.
This Very Close Man Lives In Chic
cago and Is the Champion
of ClOseMess.

E There are lots of mean men in the
world. There is one in Boston who
will never tell anyone the time of day;
there is one in Colorado who never
lights cigar in winter because his
breath upon the frosty air gives the
same satisfaction, and there is another
in Pillsbury, Wyo., who never has a fire
in his house because the smoke might
wear the chimney out. But the mean
est of all men lives right here in Chi
cago.
The other night he came along Ram
dolph street and stopped at little
sidewalk stand wherein were displayed
such trinkets as collar buttons, shoe
laces, combs and pocket mirrors. He
took up one of the latter, and the pro-
prietor's eyes frightened at the pros
pect of a sale.
GLOW much?" asked the meanest
man.
Give cents,' answered the propri-
etor of the stand.
The meanest man looked the object
carefully over. "Tll give you three"
The other shook his head.
The meanest man held out. '.Too
much" he said. Somehow, between the
two outstretched hands, the pocket
mirror fell and broke into several
pieces on the pavement. The meanest
man picked up the remains, retaining
enc fragment of the glass. The propri-
etor lamented. The meanest man
passed on up the street. At the corner
he stopped, and, holding the little piece
of mirror before him, ran small comb
through his whiskers.
"a man doesn't need whole pocket
glass for small beard, !" he muttered.
