they get elsewhere. We take
pride in this department of our

carefully. If our photographer
finds you are making mistakes he
will correct you. That's very i'm
portant advantage. Let us show
you what we can do.

Ends Life After Quarrelipg with
Her Sweetheart.
New York. May 24.-Marie Ruoff, twen-
ty-one years old, killed herself yesterday
at Stapleton, S. l. 1t is supposed the act
followed a quarrel with her sweetheart.
She left no explanation. Less than a
month ago Lena Rossner, the girls chum.
killed herself under similar circumstances.
Marie Ruoff was employed in the family
of J. Edward Strake, of No. SO Beach
Street, Stapleton. Yesterday morning Mrs.
Strake went to Manhattan, leaving the girl
alone in the house. Mrs. Strake return
ed at 4 O'Clock, and could not obtain a re-
sponse to her ringing of the door bell. She
forced an entrance at the rear Of the house,
and found the girl lying in bed, dead. The
gas jet was turned on and the crevices Of
the room had been stuffed with paper
Otto Wolpert, of No. SS7 Bergen Street,
Brooklyn, called on the girl on Monday
night and had long talk with her. 1t is
supposed they had quarrel, for when the
girl went to her room Mrs. Strake noticed
she was crying. She had been light-heart-
ed and cheerful before the visit of Wolpert.
A subpoena has been issued for WOlpert to
attend the inquest.

How Cubana Lie.
(From the Atlantic Monthly. )

fTom the Atlantic Monthly
II is often hard to tell whether a Cuban
lies to you from ignorance or malice On
ordinary occasions, and about matters that
do not promise 10 affect himself, he is
fairly truthful: but he seems to know no
reason why he shouldn't tell lie il he
wants to. To the average Cuban who has
always lived on his own island a lie is a
! thing to tell whenever il will serve any
useful purpose-such as getting him out
OF a scrape, or securing an advantage. or
getting money out Of somebody, OF con-
ciliating someone. or creating a good i'm
preston. Here the absence of moral
sense becomes apparent. With the Cuban,
lying is not a matter of right, but of policy.
his shortsightedness preventing him from
perceiving that today's advantage may be
tomorrows loss. The statement. common
among Americans who have lived in Cuba,
that the Cubans are all liars. is much near
er the truth than most generalizations.
Though they usually tell the truth, nearly
all of them dissimulate or eQuivocate
whenever they see occasion. Hence IL is
not always easy TO tell what Cuban
thinks or how he feels about the future Of
the island. He sometimes tells you what
he thinks you want 10 hear. Every man
of property wants Cuba to be under Amer
lean control. but he will not admit il be-
fore crowd. or even to another Cuban.
unless convinced that he. too. is heartily in
favor of it. The trait appears likewise in
accounts of the Cuban army. However. it
is only fair to say that the glowing de-
scriptions given by the Cubans OF the per-
formances and the glorious victories of
that somewhat mythical force are not in
territorial. deliberate, old-blooded lies.
Carried away by imaginations as fertile as
the soil of their island they actually be-
lieve their own monstrous inventions. For.
after all. the Cuban loves better than all
other things on earth to strike an attitude,
to pose, to strut and brag, and make him.
self out great man and his gentle fellow
islanders a great nation. Thousands OF
Cubans really believe that there was once
band of men worthy to be called a Cuban
army, and that they fought battles. others
admit that there were merely little COM
panies OF starving stragglers, who some
times fired their two cartridges apiece from
ambush at Spanish scouting parties, and
then scattered. But they all think they did
great execution. Get some American or
Englishman who was with them to tell
you his view of it. 1t will be discouraging-

Funston left the Kansas farm in his

he picked up" Spanish. He entered the
Kansas State University in his early twen-
ties, alternating annually the pursuit OF
knowledge with the pursuit OF dollars
first as a Santa Fe train-collector. then as
a Kansas City newspaper reporter, anu
later as a Government botanical explorer
in the Dakotas and in Montana, and final
" in the terrible Death Valley of South

In the Cuban army he rose from lieu
tenant to lieutenant colonel and chief of
artillery, under Garcia. Funston fired the
first dynamite gun ever used in actual war,
with only the printed directions Of the gun
makers to guide him. At that time he
did not know as much about artillery as
he did about a sulky-plow, but he made

Funston was called to Tampa to consult
with General Miles about the topography
of certain parts of Cuba Funston would
not wear his colonels uniform at Tampa;
he went about in the linen clothes OF

much about the fine points Of the art Of

STOCKS QUIET AND STEADY.
Su&ar Refining Feverish and Mining
shares Declining.

New York, May 24.-The stock market
opened without much animation but with
a fairly steady tone prevailing. Foreign
houses were buyers of small amount Of
stocks and the higher range of prices for
American stocks in London exercised a
sentimental influence. The market was
not without appearances of irregularity-
Sugar refining was feverish and there were
sharp declines in Tin Plate and Anaconda.
Interest is still centred about the agricul-
tural situation and the legislation upon
the franchise bill at Albany.
The granger shares were active and
moved within narrow limits, as did the
other stocks affected by the crop outlook.
The local traction shares were actively
dealt in and were steady on the prospects
of the modification of the franchise bill.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was active and
firm on reports that with the expiration
of the work on the old contracts the COM
pany's earnings would show large increase.
The trading was light in volume and
chiefly for professional accounts.

The stock market this morning preserv-
ed all its recent characteristics OF small
fluctuations and inactivity, with no partic-
ular tendency in either direction, though
prices at IL O'Clock were trifie off from
yesterdays close. 1t is a traders market,
but for several days the tendency has been
downward. The outlook is for a few days
more of the same unpleasant tactics, and
the bears are more numerous and more
confident than heretofore The advice of
careful people is still to buy stocks on
breaks for a good advance in the near fu-
ture. There is preaching OF a much lower
level OF prices by some, but the conditions
do not warrant any such market. Money
was cheap this morning. and the earnings
Wheat was of, and there was selling Of the
staple by large operators. News was scarce.
The advice of the people who have teen
nearest right on the, general situation is
that while the entire market looks equal
to higher prices, the Flower stocks and
the Steel and Iron securities are the most
promising What news there is Of an ad-
verse character this spring is regarding the
grangers and the trunk lines. Nothing in
the situation of the Steel and Iron trade or
of the Flower companies is anything other
than brilliant.
The report OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company for the month to date is a won
derful one. The gross earnings for the first
twenty-one days Of the month were $642,-
995, an increase of $112,555. This rate Of
increase for the remainder Of the month
which will almost surely be exceeded will
make the total increase something like
$16O, 900. The Brooklyn officials in their
predictions regarding the month talked of
$125, 900 increase and the bears called at
tention to the preposterousness Of the
claim This showing does not include the
great prospective earnings of the Kings
county L, the Brighton Beach, and the
prospective Coney Island roads, which will
add greatly to the total. Brooklyn 10 now

the inability of the mines and factories to
