A MAINE HERO'S SUICIDE.
"Private Bill" An American Maine,
Loses Heart-His Nerve In Re.
porting to Capt Sigsbee

Private Bill Anthony, as he is known
to fame, who was hero of the Maine
and auther of famous phrase, is dead.
Buffeted by a cruel fate, Anthony lost
that stoicism which he displayed in Ha-
vana harbor, and in a moment OF depres-
sion drank a sufficient quantity OF CO.
csine in Central Park. New York yester-
day afternoon to cause his death.
Anthony was 46 years old and had
been in the service of the United States
as soldier and marine IS years.
On the evening of February Is. 1885,
when the Maine was blown up in Havana
harbor. he was on sentinel duty. Almost
Immediately after the explosion. which
FASTENED the war between Spain and the
United States, he marched with military
precision up to Captain Sigsbee. when
the excitement incident to the explosion
was at its height. Saluting as calmly as
il on parade, he said:
81 have to report. sir. that the ship has
been blown up as is sinking.
During the awful hours that followed
the explosion Anthony played the part
OF true hero. necessarily he worked
giving assistance and good cheer to those
of his comrades who had been wounded.
He took no rest until command from
his captain that he should do so made it
imperative. When the news OF the blow
ing up of the maine was given to the
people Anthony's bravery was heralded
throughout the county.
Anthony left the navy after he had
been ordered from Havana. At first all
went well. He married, but when ad-
versity came his wife separated from him.
and he grew respondent. He sought
employment without success, disdaining
to mention the incident of his life that
might have brought him money and
friends. Finally with his funds reduc-
ed to two cents, he determined to die.

intercollegiate Championship Settled =
Both Teams Suie of Victory.

After leaving last Saturday blank the
football cycle has turned up another
game OF high local linterest--that between
the Johns Hopkins University and St.
Johns College, which was played at Un-
ion Park, Baltimore today at o'clock.
These two teams are unquestionably
the best in the Maryland Intercollegiate
League. and an old rivalry OF many
years standing exists between them. the
game between the two having been look
ed forward to as the football event of the
Mary land year. This season the Uni
versity expected to find its hardest league
competitor in Western MARYLAND, but
with the usual uncertainty Of sport. ST.
Johns has assumed that position.
The Annapolis eleven has made great
gains through the season, and is now
stronger than ever, even after its heavy
meeting last Saturday with the mutes
from Gallaudet. Reports indicate that
the men and coaches are prepared for
the game today with the most painstak-
ing care of the season. The winner of
the game is champion of the League. A
large number OF college students accom-
panied the football team TO Baltimore.
On their departure the St. Johns boys
sang their college song. and gave their
college yell. One Of the songs indicated
that there will be 'hot time" at St.
Johns tonight.

In loving remembrance of our mother,

ago today, November 2sth. 1899.
Loved in life, in death remembered.
Gone from earth, yes gone forever.

The Mach etc.

AS a defensive weapon the value of
the machete is small Even its offensive
effect depends less on the weapon itself
than on the continual and slsillful
usage made of it by the Cuban peasant
from his earlier age, which imparts a
peculiar training to the muscles of the
wrist and arm of the operator. The
consequence of this skill is that when
ever quarrel occurs between two
"guajiros' or ''monetros' they settle
the matter with their machetes as cour-
ageously and tenaciously as two game
cocks. and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life OF are killed
on the spot
Owing to this fact and to the natu
raj kindly disposition of the Cuban
peasants. they are not quarrelsome
people and respect everybody. to be
equally respected With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are thin strip of leather
closely tied 20 the right wrist. a small
round piece of grinding stone to sharpen
the edge of the tool, and whenever the
machete is employed to cut down the
thorny heath of tropical vegetation a
small branch of special shape. called
the "garabato. is used to bold the
heath and do rapid work without be.
ing injured by thorns. Island of Cuba

The sun's Motion.

An astronomical fact now as former
ly causing no little perplesity to some
is that the suns motion-which I'M
quesiionably and indisputably is ex-
tremely quick does not change the
relative position of the solar system to
the fised stars and the constella tions
more than il actually does, and there
are some who ON this account are in
clined to doubt the actual motion of
the sun in space.
The Investigations of astronomers
have nevertheless established one thing
as certain--namely. that the sun moves
through space at II great speed-esti-
mated by some scientists at @ miles a
secund-earrying all she planets. satel-
lites and other cosmical bodies along
with it, but this motion of the vast
luminary. while affecting. of course.
the real motion of the planets in space,
does not in even the slightest degree
affect the relative motion of sun and
planets
Even under the supposition of so
great a rate as l6 miles in one second,
this relative position of the sun to the
fixed stars would, astronomers declare,
be hardly perceptible in a century. on
account of the almost incoDceivable
distance Of the latter-the conclusion
being, therefore, that many thousands of
years must pass before the sun $ proper
motion in space can change the contig-
uration of tho star groups
