This Waiter n Mind Reader

Expansion is the main topic of conver-
sation among statesmen at the capital and
many of the solons become as excited
in discussing it as do members of college
debating societies, says the New York
Tribune. Just before the adjournment for
the holidays three distinguished senator's
were seated about a small table in the
Senate restaurant discussing expansion.
together with their oysters and a cold
bottle. When the host of the occasion,
who was really "a tooker-on in Vienna. -
enjoying the debate between his fellow
colleagues, called for the check, he was
interrupted by an anti-expansionist from
New England, who said:
mo, no! Don't pay the check yet. 1
want some pie"
This request having been made, he ex-
ciedly continued his remarks. The waiter
was called.
Pie" said the host. "Pie for Senator
What kind of pie, senator?" asked the
waiter obsequiously.
The senator paid no attention, but con-
tinued his stream of eloquence.
Il beg your pardon, senator, but what
do you want?" asked the waiter again.
Pie. pie, pier roared the senator.
grudgingly interrupting his remarks.
eS, Senal TOT, sara the water, but
what kind of pie?"
cold pe!' said the senator in a fero-
cious voice, cold pie!'
The waiter disappeared and the senator
continued his argument against the reten-
ton of the American conquests. He ceased,
however, long enough to dispose of a
thick piece of that pie dear to the hearts
of all New Englanders, cold pumpkin,
which the waiter, who should be com
mended for his knowledge of human ma
ture, brought to him.

THEY NEED A LESSON.

We sha. have 20 give the peop.e Of Mic
aragua and Costa Rica lesson which they
will not soon forget before they will cease
giving us trouble. Their absurd revolu-
tions which are occurring two or three
times year keep those countries from
becoming prosperous and prevent foreign
residents there from carrying on business
with any degree of satisfaction. The
American merchants have frequent cause
for complaint. They are complaining now
that in certain districts they are being
forced to pay double duties on their i'm
ports. In the Bheields district especial
ly, they are being annoyed by Gen.
Torres, the governor of the district. He
is notorious trouble breeder, and if our
government does its duty it will make the
Nicaraguan government understand that
It doesn't intend to put up with any such
extortion as that of which Gen. Torres
is guilty
There is nothing that would give a great
many people of this country so much sat
isfacdon as the taking possession of Mica
ragua and Costa Rica by our government.
1t is certain that no one of the European
governments would interfere if we should
take possession of them because it is gen
orally agreed that they will never have
any better governments than they have
now If their present populations control
them and the prospect for an improve
ment in their populations is not at all
promising.
If we undertake to build the Nicaragua
canal we shall want stable governments
IN both Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Prob
ably the best thing that would happen 20
them would be the loss of their independ-
ence. Under a government established by
the United States they would soon become
very popu.ous and prosperous. The pres
ent trouble may not amount TO much. but
II such complaints as are now made bv
American citizens, doing business in Mic
aragua and Costa Rica continue. il is nret.
~ certain that such action will be taken
by our government as will lead to its ex-
ercislng great deal more authority in
those states than is the case now.

EXPENSES OF THE CURRY TRIAL.


II is said that the expenses of the trial
of Lieut.. Curry of the Third Georgia Vol
unteers, who is charged with having kill
ed Private Reed of the regular army here
i'm Savannah, will have to be borne by
this county That may be the law, but
it doesn't seem TO be Just. Neither the
man who was killed nor his slayer was a
citizen of this county, and neither was
here in accordance with his own viii.
One was in the volunteer army and the
other in the regular army, and they were
here under the order of the government.
The county was in no respect responsible
for The crime that was committed within
it's limits.
The indications are that the trial VIII
be a rather costly one owing to the dis
tance which witnesses will have 10 travel
And the trial may be a lengthy one, thus
making the amount which the jurors win
draw from the county quite large. 1t
mitted by soldiers the government should
bear ali of the expenses of the trial. II
would have to bear them # the accused
were to be tried by courtmarual.
II IS not improbable that the depart
ment OF justice would bear the expense
of the trial if the matter were brought

amiss Tor the County Commissioners to
can that departments attention to the
fact that il appears to be unjust to sad

and to suggest the .propriety of the gov
eruments paying whatever expenses may
be incurred. The commissioners might
succeed IN saving the county several hun
dred dollars.

The Connecticut Legislature has passed
a bill limiting the number of brook trout
which one person may catch in day TO
thirty. A bill has been introduced into the
Pennsylvania legislature which provides
that every fisherman shall make oath to
the number of his catch, and shall pay a
lax of so much per pound on the fish he
claims 10 have caught. 1t is a little diff
ficult To determine whether these legis-
latures have it as their chief purpose to
protect the fish, or to discourage prevar!-
Gallon on the part of amateur fishermen.
In Connecticut, for instance. a fish story
about measly bunch of thirty brook trout
would hardly be worth telling, while in
Pennsylvania the narrator of wonderful
achievements with rod and fly would have
to make a close calculation on the avoir-
dupois of his lie, or else contribute lber-
ally 10 the states revenues.

AN exciting fire occurred in Chicago a
day or two ago. One OF those sky-scran-
ers which are so common in all cities
about Easter time, went up amid smoke
and screams. There were no casualties
1t occurred this way; The wearer Of the
Easter hat was in a drug store. Passing
near the cigar counter, where one of those
swinging porcelain cigar lighters with A
gas jet was on duty, the feathers and the
flowers came into contact with the flames
In an instant the hat was abaze. The
cigar clerk pursed up his mouth and tried
to blow the flame out. The soda water
clerk was more practical; he seized a
siphon of seltzer, aimed the nozzle at the
blazing hat and pressed the lever. There
was increased sizzling and sputtering, but
the carbonated stream put out the fire.
The girl who wore the hat was not spick
and span after the confagratiou. There
were streaks of wafer and ashes from the
burned millinery down her face and over
her shirt waist, and her temper was exc

sary to have lived n year in the State

The action of the North Dakota Leg

custom of some hotel Keepers in the

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S FAME Is SAFE
Baltimore Amcrican)

SO far as his vindication before the
country is concerned. it was not nee
cssary for ADMIRAL Schley to reply to
the charges which have been made
against him By Secretary Long. There
nave been so many envious and mn
worthy efforts to belittle the work of
ADMIRAL Schiey that the majority OF
the people have reached the firm de-
termination that he shall not be robbed
OF the glory OF his achievement at san
tiaSo. The statement of the Secretary
OF the Navy received respectful attcn-
ton, but it wrought no change in pub
lie sentiment.
The profound conviction still obtains
that it was Schley. and not Sampson.
" no annhilated CeYve-a's feet and
nothing is likely TO occur which viii
change the verdict Of history in that
respect.
Though no vindication was needed,
the Adm.ral's statement is Il valuable
addition 10 one of the NEST thrilling
chapters Of American naval history.
and will serve to put at rest several
minor points preliminary o the mem-
orable conflict off Santiago. Admiral
Schley makes 1t conclusive!y clear that
he remained off Cienfucgos in obcdi-
ance to arbitrary orders issued by the
Navy Department, and that ne sailed
for Santiago in less than two hours
after being informed that Ccrvera' S
fleet was in that harhor.

with n considerable body of Southern
