It is understood that if Due dArcos Is ap- pointed minister the Lowry mansion will become the legation of Spain As both the Due and Duchess are wealthy in their own right, it is expected that they will entertain sumptuously, as a matter of noblesse oblige, if for no other. They will be given a most delightful welcome, both politi- cally, Automatically and socially, and will remove the annoyances which would nat urally come to a minister appointed upon the close hostilities and accredited to the victorious country.

THE KAISER'S MEN
 OFF DUTY A NIGHT
BY LUCIEN JULIEN WALKER.

One illustrious personage-the German emperors only brother-and several Ger man naval officers of high rank fingered in the club in an Irish port one night until after Il o'clock. There were twenty-six lieutenants from the German fleet in the harbor somewhere about the club, who were eagerly awaiting the departure of their superiors, so that the fun might be- gin Eight or ten officers of the British army and navy, honorary members of the club, together with four ordinary members. were also present equally anxious that the great men should go aboard ship Finally the prnceliest of princes and his high of- ficers entered their boats at the water stairs of the club and pulled away. This was the signal for an outburst of merriment that I have not seen equaled on any other convivial occasion in my experience of such affairs. All the party, including the German officers, the honorary and the or dinary members assembled in the old smok- ing room of the club wherein generations of gentlemen have burned tobacco and dis cussed every subject save politics and re- ligion, these two matters being forbidden in every respectable club of the world Much of the furniture was removed, and after the first round of drinks had been served, dancing began, someone giving the music from a grand piano. The dancing began at lively pace, and it grew by de- grees faster, and then ever faster until it became furious. There were pauses for drinks and changes in the pianists; but that dance of men kept on it's way.
 The servants, acting under instructions from the four ordinary members, who were the hosts of all the others. kept up the supply of drink-all the time whisky y-and- soda and the gladdest and most careless party of men ever assembled together romped through flying hour There was no boisterousness-there was only the evil dence of jolly souls. There was nothing unseemly-merely some officers who were gentlemen were having good time. Those of us who were the hosts, and who re- trained from undue indulgence, perhaps more on account of discretion than lack of desire, were amazed at the extraordinary capacity of our German guests. It need not be said that we greatly enjoyed their enjoyment. He is poor sort of host who does not rejoice to see his guest enjoy him. self.
 Finally we stopped the dancing by clos ing the piano and sending the key away by a servant. Then some one of us called out an adjournment to the coffee room, or din- ing room, as we say in United States, and in that room cold refreshments were serv- ed, and the stream of drink resumed it's flow.
 There was one lieutenant there of stall wart form, sunny hair, blue eyes and silky mustachios, as superb type of physical manhood as ever took oath of allegiance or pended the knee to any sovereign. He lowered above his fellows, and so we mark

ed him. Two or three times we saw him leave the room and go out into the beau tiful entrance hall of the club, above the ancient marble fireplace of which there was a great mirror. We learned imme- diately, it need not be stated how. that his purpose was attended to his mustachios This he did every few minutes, using a pocket comb with the skill of barber. The giant was agitated, we discovered, and the cause was soon apparent. Mount ing chair he addressed the party in a beautiful little speech, at the conclusion of which he proposed the health of the queen of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India.
 It fell to me, an American, to respond, no other person present being willing or in condition to perform that duty, and he and his fellow-officers being wholly un- acquainted with my identity I did the best could, and received applause entirely out yf proportion to my little effort. Then, as matter of course, I proposed the health of the German emperor in resound- ing, if not very resonant terms, whereupon the roof shook, the clubhouse trembled, and seven stalwart Germans embraced me with a fervor I shall not forget.
 Following this spectacular performance of my own, the gigantic German-may his noble shadow never grow less!-made seven speeches in rapid succession, followed by speeches more or less coherent all around the superb old room wherein convivial generations had made merry. Such fun l have seldom shared during my Journeys about the earth. Almost suddenly we four "ordinary members" realized that time was up-that sort of thing couldn't go on any longer-and the realization gave us great shock. At that moment the house-steward, a wise man, entered the room and called out, "Gentlemen, closing time" It had been closing time good four hours before. All merriment subsided, and then fell to us of the club to get our guests off to thelr ships in the harbor. After many trials and tribulations we finally got enough whale-boats to accommodate them, and our joyous night ended in the dawn of a per feet day.

COWARDLY ATTACK
 ON NEGRO WOMAN
Sarah Chisholm, a Cook, Shot by Her For. mer Paramour-Deed Committed
 Through Spirit of Revenge.

Sarah Chisholm, a negro woman em- ployed by Mrs. J. D. Poncellor, as cook, was shot and painfully injured while stand ing on the back porch of the Poncellor residence, in Fifth avenue, between Twep- ty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, about 7:SO o'clock last night by Wesley Frazier, a worthless negro, who made his escape.
 The woman had finished her work and was preparing to go to her room in the yard, but stopped to receive instructions from Mrs. Poncellor, who was standing on the porch. Suddenly without warning Frazier ran out from under the porch, and pointing a double- barrellad shotgun at the woman. fired one barrel and took to his heels. The gun was loaded with buckahot, one of which struck the woman in the thigh, infiicting a painful and dan- serous wound Several of the shot lodged in the wall of the house, and 1t is mirac- ulous how Mrs. Poncelor escaped unin. jured
 It appears that up to a few months ago Frazier and he woman lived together but separated because the woman became tired of supporting the worthless wretch, who made no effort to secure work, but simply depended on her small earnings to live.
 Frazier continued to hang around, how ever, and for the past two months when the woman was paid off went to her room and forced her to give him her money oy beating her unmercifully. The matter was reported to the police, who have been on the lookout for the negro, and It is sup posed that last nights murderous attack was made in a spirit of revenge.
 The shooting was reported to police headouarters, and officer Hagood, who was on duty at the station, nasteheo 10 the scene, but the negro had succeeded In making good his escape.

"FIGHTING JOE"

From the Sacramento Bee
 General Wheeler arose from his old seat and asked for recognition.
 MT. Speaker" he called q ask for unanimous consent to speak for five min utes'
 But the speaker disregarded him. Every eye was now rvited on the diminutive fig- ure of the grzzled old veteran of two wars. MT. Payne moved a recess for ten minutes.
 Pending that I ask unanimous consent to speak for three minutes," demanded General Wheeler.
 The speaker then turned toward him for the first time, and, looking straight into the gray eyes of the general, ignored his request completely. putting the motion of MT. Payne and declaring il carried. On Santiago's sultry field a weakened sol-
 dier lay;
 His slender frame was fever-racksd, hls
 locks were tinged with gray But ah, his heart was young with hope, his
 mind devoid of fear,
 And when the notes of battle fell upon his
 listening ear
 He cried: Bring me horse," in tones so
 resoute, though weak That no one there that day denied Joe
 Wheeler's right to speak. He sprang into the battle front and urged his soldiers on, Although he'd won a vaProus crown in years now long agone; And by his side there bravely rode straight into Deaths strong jaws His son. who volun teered to fight in Free dom's holy cause; And when they passed that day in sight of Morro's gloomy peak, Twas felt that Fighting Joe' had earned unbounded right to speak. But that's not all. Far down below, where
 dead and wounded lay. Joe Wheelers daughter took her stand to
 watch and work and pray. She soothed the pain by bullet wrought; to
 dying she gave rest;
 An angel to those suffering men-the Red Cross on her breast. He gave his all-himself, his son, his daughter, woman weak To be denied when he came home, the paltry right to speak, But mind it not, Joe Wheeler; you have reached the peoples heart, And when you've aught to say to them, be sure they'll do their part. Wheneer your tones to them are raised, no man shall you nay; With bated breath and pended head they'll listen, let come what may. So lift your voice from now till you the gates of heaven seek, For, Fighting Joe," you've earned the right through all, all time to speak. | FRANK c. RADCLIFFfl
