HE FAILED ON THE BULL.

The man with the claw-marks on his
face and the: lobe ofshis left ear gone
felt that he was an. object Of curiosity
to the group, and after time he said:
II made a fool of myself, and my
ease should be a warning to all young
men. I was travelling with a lightning
rod outfit through western Ohio when
we struck small town in which cir
Gus was exhibiting. There were only
five or six animals in the menagerie
part, and one Of those was tiger in
. cage by itself. All hands of us had
been drinking a little too much that
day, and as we visited the circus and
stood before that tiger we began to
dare each other to poke him up. I
finally offered to bet $25 even up that

minutes" M

afternoon five tough-looking men rode
into town and up to the Jail. AS the
sheriff came out one of them said:
"Mebbe you've got man in thar
who calls hisself Dan Needham?'
II had one, but they took him out
and hung him this morning." was the
reply. e. : =. ...
'''Then they hung the wrong man."
II told 'em they might be making q
mistake"
II am Dan Needham as sure's your

"Shoo! Shoe! Jest went and hung
the wrong mani"
They did that. I was passing by,
and thought I'd stop and tell you. If
the crowd comes back, give 'em my
love-
The sheriff watched the gang out of
sight and then turned and brought his
fist down into the palm of his hand
and exclaimed:
Il say it amt k'rect! Hangin' Us adj
right if you happen to git hold of the
right man, but if you hang man who
don't desarve to be hung, then it amt

gets hung, and makes out that he

N. lOUBET IS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
RAPID CHANGES.
New French Executive Quickly Named--is Said
to Favor Dreyfus Hopes for
Reunited Republic.

The death of President Faure. the
dread of n revolution and the election
of Emile Loubet as the ruler of the
French Republic were the stirring
events which happened In France last
Friday and Saturday. with the death
of President Faure, the Royalists,
Bonapartists and Nationalists hoped
that n new power would come into
existence which would protect the ar
my from investigation and squelch
the desire for the release of Dreyfus.
The newly elected President has
promised to devote his best efforts to
fulfilling the wishes of the country
and to "reunite the Republicans who
have drifted asunder by the current
of unhappy events"
Those parties who so bitterly OPP
posed Loubet are confident that he Is
a Dreyfus man and that If ever the
exile is TO receive Justice he Will OBJ
tain II from the newly elected exec
utive.
Last Saturday $50 senator's and de-
ruties went to Versailles for the pur-
pose of elcctirg a new president of the
republic. Guards We're stationed about
all of the public buildings To prevent
hostile demonstrations.
The first ballot resulted In the cleo
tion of NJ. Loubet, he having received
iS3 votes. NJ. Meline received 2I9, and
so votes were scattered.
The Premier NJ. Dupuy, the formal
ly transferred the executive power to Nj.
Loubet and congratulated him upon his
election.
The President, In thanking NJ. Du-
puy, expressed the hope of having the
support of the Cabinet. The Senators
and Deputies then filed past and shook
hands with the President, who after
ward received deputation of newspa-
per men. and through them appealed
to the whole press of the country to
work in union.
There Is every sign of campaign
against President Loubet similar to
that which drove NJ. Casimir-Perer
to resign. Clearly La Patrie Fran
caise" will leave no stone unturned to
achieve this object, its chief ground of
objection being that the president is a
Dreyfusard. The street demonstrations
which occurred Sunday have not been
spontaneous. but We're evidently or
ganized and so far they have been cas-
lily suppressed.
The new President comes from the
part OF France where the Roman
power lasted longer, namely, Mar
same, in the Department of Drome.
He gives the impression of remote
Latin origin, and looks to be a solid,
practical man, who sees the facts of
life just as they are. AS President Of
the Senate he has had official and
other experience that will be useful to
him as President of the Republic, but
he is essentially plain, middle-class
man, whose mind was sharpened by
his practice at the bar in the provin-
cial town of Montellmar, in the South
of France. Obllging to his neighbors,

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.

The Twenty-third Kansas and the
Sixth United States volunteers will be
brought home from Cuba and Porto
Rico.
Apologies will be rendered Maj. Gen.
Brooke by the Cubans who Withdrew
from the Garcia funeral procession
They now regret their action.
Negroes in Havana are refusing to
work, claiming the United States will
supply all the food they want. Gen.
Chaffee has called the department
commanders attention to the matter.
Enormous frauds have been discoy-
cred in Havana. over 1000 Household
ders have been stealing water from
the water mains with the connivance
of the alcades, a loss to the city of
$4,000 n year.
Gen. Brooke has received many COM
plants that servants in Havana will
not work since rations are supplied to
them by the government. Gen. Lud-
low has been requested to see that on
ly the worthy poor are supplied.
Major General Elwell S. Otis, in
command at Manila. in an interview
said that the Fillpinos are ignorant of
what they are fighting for and are led
by q lot OF corrupt natives. AguinaH
do, he said, Is not so bad as he is
painted.
A dispatch from Gen. Otis received
at the war department says he has
been informed that the attack made
on the American forces by the rebels
was in pursuance of advices received
by Aguinaldo from Washington, via
Hong Kong.
Bolmans Washington cafe, on the
Central park. has been ordered closed
by Senior Federico Mora, civil governor
of Havana, because of the refusal of
the proprietor to serve drinks to a mu-
latto, the Cuban general, Ducasse,
who had been invited In by friends.
MIR. Holman, who Is an American, says
he will reopen, claiming that he is
sustained by the American authorities.
1t is considered that the controversy
will raise the race question.
