love-" has been given to a very
original and attractive creation IN
fine shoemaking. The shoe is

Only fine kid goes into these
shoes, while the upper part is oi

U. S. Officers Not Living In Luxury.

HAVANA, Aug. 5.-Considerable COM
ment was caused here by the publica-
tion Of dispatch from the United
States embodying the charge made by a
leading New York newspaper that Gov
ernor General Brooke, Brigadier Gen.
eral Ludlow, military governor Of Ha-
vana, Collector Tasker Bliss and Major
Davis, sanitary officer at Havana, have
been receiving extra allowances out of
the Cuban revenues to maintain them
selves in luxury. The feeling among
Americans in Havana is that this charge
is based upon a serious misapprehension
of the facts. The suggestion Of luxuri-
GUS living perplexes the Cubans, who
are in position to contrast the Demo-
cratic way in which men holding the
high rank held by Generals Brooke and
Ludlow conduct their establishments
with the prodigal habits of the old
Spanish regime.

LAURIER'S CHILDISH ACT.
Governor General Would BE
Insulted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Mr. +. W.
Fitzpatrick of the treasury department
returned from Ottawa to Washing
ton, where he went at the
instance of the committee of citi-
zens Of Chicago, in charge of the
ceremonies of laying the cornerstone of
that city's great postotfice building,
next October, by President Mckinley,
to arrange for the formal invitation and
expected acceptance of an invitation
from Chlcago's citizens to the governor
general and cabinet of Canada to par
ticipate in those festivities.
He admitted that his official reception
was slightly chilly, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
very candidly telling him that under
the present conditions it would be i'm
possible Tor him to accept or even to
consider any social invitation to this
side of the border.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfrid
intimated that III the present state of
public feeling in the United States, as
Indicated in the press, it would not be
entirely safe for the governor general and
himself to visit Chicago, as he feared
that they might in great gathering Of
such character as the Chicago cere-
mony be subjected to some unpleasant
ness or indlgnity by thoughtless persons.
Sir Wilfrid expressed himself as strongly
in favor of arbitrating the Alaskan
boundary dispute.
He said he would advise the governor
general not to accept the invitation.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick secured Sir Wilfrid' s
promise, however, to reconsider the
matter.

BEATEN BY BoYCOTTERs.
Aged and Respected Cleveland Man
Abused For Riding on Big Com
sol dated Cars.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5.--The fact has
just come to light that Lucius +. Mel
len, superintendent of the city in
firmary and ex.general agent of the
Cleveland Humane society, was terribly
beaten by strike sympathizers last
Wednesday. Mr.. Mellen is So years old
and is in precarious condition. His
family did not report the matter to the
police for fear of further violence. Mr..
Mellen rode on Big Consolidated car
Wednesday to II. G.. Patton's sign
painting shop, at 904 Pearl street, to
order o sign. He was followed into the
shop by boy, who called to two men
within that he had ridden on "scab. "
car. The two men seized Mr.. Mellen and
threw him out of the door. The aged
man fell on the sidewalk and the two
men and the boy, reinforced by two
other men who came along, kicked him
brutally.
Mr.. Mellen later was assisted to his
home on Library street. While his in
juries are not in themselves dangerous,
his age makes his condition precarious.
When this city learns through the
ne vspapers of the attack on Mr.. Mel.
len it will cause widespread indigna'
ton, as he is one of the oldest and most
prominent citizens of Cleveland, and
has for years been a leader of national
fame in church and charitable work.

TIRED OF HIS THRONE.
Czar Nicholas Reported to Have Decided
to Abdicate-Delcasse to Try to
Dissuade Him.

LONDON, Aug. On. de Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of The Times, gave
an extraordinary explanation of the
present mission of M. Delcasse, the
French foreign minister, to Russia. He
asserted that it was decided upon quite
suddenly for treason which admitted
of no delay" and then gives the story,
which he says he has from "a source to
which am bound to attach import
ance." This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired of the throne. The absence
of an heir excites his superstitious feel
ings and he connects himself with a
Russian legend, according to which an
heirless czar is to be succeeded by Gar
Michael, predestined to occupy Con-
stantinople.
"The death of the czarewitch and the
failure of the conference a5 The Hague
led him to decide to abdicate ON the oc.
casion of his coming visit to Darmstadt.
On this becoming known in Paris, M.
Delcasse was sent in hot haste to dis
suade him from carrying out this in
tention."
