Gen. Clay Insane,

Lexington, KY, March 6. - The
friends of Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay
are alarmed. at what they believe is
the collapse of his mind. Since Riley

use in the world 1,2ss,163 telephones,

use of the telephone in the United
States is derived from the fact that the

than half of the instruments in use and
the amount of mileage of the whole
world. The number of instruments in
The United States is placed at 772,627,

day, while the sales of bonds each day

Prize fighting does not seem so bru-
tai, says the Chicago Tribune, after
reading an account of the horrible suf-
ferings of the riders in six-day bicycle
race. The marvel of the thing is that
thousands of people find delight and en-
ioyment in watching the torture of the
half-crazed participants in the spec
tacle. If these men were horses an out
ragged public sentiment would put a
stop to the practice.

Spain Punishing Her WARRIOR.

Madrid, March 6.-The supreme
court, backed by the departments of
war and marine, will not stop with
sending Gems. Jaudenes and Tora1 to

Spain exact from her vanquished war

from their victors. Capt. Diaz Moreu,
commanding the Cristobol Colon in the

who surrendered Cavite. And no one

DEWEY'S CHINESE SAILORS.

"A Washington dispatch states that the
thirty Chinese sailors on the Olympia can
not be permitted to land with Admiral Dewey
because they come under the operation Of
the Chinese Exclusion act. This seems like
a hard case. These Chinese sailors did good
servicein the battle of Manila Harbor and
Admiral Dewey commended them in his dis
patches TO the government, rec oiamending
that they be permitted to become citizens Of
the United States. No action was token on
Dewey recommendation andnOw the Treas
ury department decides that these men, who
were good enough 10 fight for the United
States, cannot be permitted to land on our
soil. 1t may be thatthe' matter is beyond
the province of the Treasury Department.
The law must be obeyed. But it is not easy
to I'M derstand why Congress did not take
action in the matter at the last session. The
subject will probably come up at the next
session and it can hardly be doubted that
Dewey's wishes will be consulted and that
justice will be done to these Orientals, who
deserve well Of the republic. -Lynchburg

that perhaps he wanted some legal knitting

So he braced himself for trouble when he
saw Hackett coming across the fields one

Said llackett; Where's your claim here,
anyway, as to. that fence?'
Il insist" replied the neighbor, THAT
your fence is over my land two feet at one
end and one foot at least at the other end
"Well,'' replied Hackett, "you so ahead
just:as quick ,as .youlcan and set your fence
over. AT the end where you say that en- e

LIFE WITHOUT LOVE.
Life without love is like day without sum

Roses bereft Of sweet natures perfume,
Love is the guide mark to those who are
weary
OF waiting and watching in darkness and
gloom.
Love to the heart Is like dewdrops to violets
Left on the dust-ridden roadside 10 die;
Love leads the way to our highest endeavors,
Llghtens and lessons the pain OF eaen
g. sigh,
Lite without love is like Spring without
flowers,
Brook-streams that move not or star
bereft sky;
Love creates efforts most worthy and noble,
Prompts US to live and resigns us to die
