d SPANISH WAY.
In which q Heavy New Orleans
Shipper Was Mulcted In
Havana.

Speaking about the way the Span
iards are running the Havana custom
house, remarked one of the represent
atives of a large firm Of New Orleans
shippers, according to the Times-Dem-
ocrat, "1n just mention a little Incl
dent OF our OWE experience there =
couple Of months ago. We had taken
over a small cargo and were being bled
in a fashion that would have disgraced
a Malay pirate, when I happened to be
looking over the bill for extra charges
supplementary war tariff they
called it-and detected an error in adj
dition Of about six dollars. It was a
small matter, but as long as we were
dealing with robbers I concluded to de-
mand all I could and called the matter
to the attention OF the chief inspector.
He took the bill and returned a correct-
ed copy next morning. It contained
two new items, one of nine dollars for
revision of the list, as per request and
one of $3.50 clerks fees, for making a
new copy; total, $3.50. That repre-
scented a net loss of $3.50. I was so mad
that couldn't see straight, but all the
satisfaction l got was to pay the bill.
This is no fairy story, but a cold fact,
and the documents to prove it are in the
safe right now"

MEN GET SHORTER.
1t Il Said This Happens when They
Climb to the Top of High
Mountains.

One OF the most remarkable facts
known to all our mountain climbers is
that the height of a man is diminished
to an extraordinary degree by the time
he has reached the summit Of a con-
siderable mountain.
So much is this the case that a six
foot man is actually diminished in
height by a full inch by the time he
reaches any. of the best known of the
great Alpine SUBMITS, though the
usual diminution, produced in very few
hours, is three-quarters of an inch.
The extent of this diminishing of
height has caused much discussion for
some time, but doctors generally at
tribute it to the peculiar position most
~ maintained in climbing. One note
worthy feature is that the more heavily
laden the climber may be the greateris
the diminution.
Although the height of all men grows
less to the extent of three-quarters of
an inch, the diminution varies greatly
in individuals of the same normal
height beyond that extent, and the nor
NAL height is not resumed for some
hours after the climb.

low and make him confess and ice, but
for a week the artist persistcntly avoid
ed him, and II was not till Kola discov-
cred that I vas back from Boston that
he accidentally met the artist and &C.
complished his purpose"
But why did kola make the first at
tempt on your life?" asked the doctor.
Because he had already decided to
murder Caruthers, marry the heiress
and continue his role of Italian
count in New York, and was afraid that
! would sooner or later recognize him"
"But the second attempt on your
life?" questioned Lampkin.
"Was because he found out that l was
at the rooms of Count Bantinni the
morning after Gielow's apparent flight,
and was afraid l would finally discover
his disguise. I think from the fact that
he avoided me during hat time that
he was afraid of me, but after he played
the Bible trick On us I think he be-
lieved he could brighten me out Of fol-
lowing up the Bantinni clew and into a
belief In the guilt Of Gielow. However.
his fears got the best of him and he
decided to kill both you and me by
means of his dead-fall."
Just then there was the sound of a
gong down the road and the patrol
wagon dashed into view.
"The ambulance will follow pretty
soon," remarked Hendricks. doctor, I
am going to leave you and Miss Hunt
ington with the patient while Denham
and / go in with our booty"
THAT will be all right" answered
Lampkin. We'll look after him."
Denham and Hendricks had led Kola
out to the wagon and put him In, and
Hendricks was about to climb in after
him when DR.. Lampkin came to the
door and signaled to Hendricks to com
back.
Miss Huntington wants to see you
before you 60" he said.
A sheepish expression was mingled
with the flush on Hendricks face as
he entered the room where Gielow lay
awake and smiling contentedly. Miss
Huntington rose from the bedside and
held out her hand.
II couldn't let you go without speak
ing to you," she said, her eyes filing.
II shall never forget your goodness as
long as I live. You are the best friend
I ever had. Arthur" she said, turning
to Gielow, II cannot say what I want
to say. I am going to kiss him." And
she put her arms around the neck Of
the detective and kissed him on the
lips.
Hendricks grew very red. in the face,
and saying something about wishing
he had it all to do over again, he backed
from the room. AS he turned at the
threshold he stumbled wei a rug and
almost fell into Lampkin's arms.
The doctor braced him up with a
hand on each of his shoulders, and
grinned and smacked his lips signif-
cantly. But Hendricks only swore at
him, waxed redder in the face and de-
scended to the wagon and crawled in
beside Kola.

When they had put him in a bigy soft
bed In the chamber adjoining Kola's
reception room, Hendricks went out to
the carriage. The green curtain was
still down, but he saw that it was pulled
aside, and that the occupant was peer
ing cautiously out. When she saw him
coming, she opened the carriage door
and looked %anXiously into his face.
Hendricks smiled.
"Gielow is SAFE" he said. HE is
weak, of course, but he will pull through
all right"
She seemed unable either to answer
OF to move. The stare of her eyes
seemed to indicate doubt on her part as
to the verify of the news.
81 think you might come in, if you
WISH" added Hendricks. I'VE have put
him to bed, and the doctor is preparing
something warm for him."
Without q word. she got out of the
carriage, and dumbly followed him.
As they were ascending the steps, she
paused halfway up the fight and
looked at Hendricks pitifully, and then
down at her feet. Her knees bent and
she clutched his arm.
III don't know what's the matter
with me-" she faltered. II don't seem
able to move. Oh, please pardon my
weakness"
TITS the Shock" said Hendricks, al
most tenderly. You must try to calm
yourself. All the trouble is over, you
know, and the prisoner is in chains
:" thought something serious had
happened" she said, slowly recovering.
i heard the crash, and then, as you did
not appear, and the sergeant remained,
thought something was wrong"
perhaps you had better go back to
the carriage and not try to 60 In" sug-
gested Hendricks.
The remark seemed to rouse her to
action.
"Oh, no, I must see him! lean help"
and, releasing his arm, she mounted the
steps unaided.
Hendricks led her to the door Of the
room where they had taken Gielow.
Lampkin appeared on the threshold.
He's begging to see you, Miss Hunt
ington," said he.
He pushed the door open, and when
she had gone in he closed 1t and stood
facing Hendricks. For a moment they
looked into each others eyes without

woMEN AT MEMS COLLEGES.
There Has Been a Large ~Increase
in the Number of Girls At
tending Yale.

Women are rapidly invading the do
main of the men in college work in
America as they are competing with
the members of the sterner sex abroad.
The large number of women students
enrolled in the graduate department of
Yale at the present time calls attention
to a feature of academic life which is
assuming larger proportions every
year. 1t was in 1892 that the educa-
tional world was somewhat startled by
the information that the corporation
OF Yale had decided to open its grad
uate department. to bachelors of art
without distinction of sex, and there
were many forewarnihgs concerning
the failure of such an iconoclastic de-
parture.
During the six years that the expert
ment has been under way the women
students have had to struggle against
innumerable difficulties, but it is be-
lieved that at last they have established
their position upon a permanent foot
ing. There is hardly any member Of
the faculty who does not have a good
WIN ! say tAeii ldNoi, anu even Tue
undergraduates are beginning to re-
gard their presence upon, the campus
with Indifference. The official cata-
logue of the present year has not yet
been published, but it is known that
there are, at the present time, about 40
women students at Yale, and there are
not lacking those who claim that it
would be impossible to find among The
$500 members of the university 40 stu
dents who contribute more to the real
scholarship of the institution, and who
are regarded with greater respect by
the professors under whose instruction
they come.

POLITICS AND MORALITY.
(London Times.

Every man pays homage toy tho public
conscience as far rs he can. regarding it
perhaps as. in the long run, the embodi-
ment of that morality which, as Mr..
Morley quotes, is "the nature Of things 4"
On the other hand. the most conscientious
of public men seldom manage to escape
the lash of public censure. "The great
virtue Of PEEL said Mr.. Gladstone,
was that he had such an enormous con :
science. Conscience, they say, is an ex
pensive thing to keep. Peel certainly
kept one" We have heard Of o man,
ia nous for bis conscientiousness, who
used to boast that he had never seen the
corner he could not get his conscience
round That was tho estimate in which
Peel was held by many Of his contem-
poraries. He was regarded as q monster
Of duplioity and guile. The public con-
science of posterity has now rectified that
contemporary Judgment.
Yet even 80 just a man as Lord Skates
tury could say many years afterwards
tn at the action of Peel and Wellington
in regard to Catholic emancip ation 'had
inflicted so deadly q blow on confidence
in public men that there had never since
been q complete recovery" Indeed, con-
science in public man would seem to no
not merely an expensive possession, but
one which brings more obloquy to its
possessor than the lack OF it. Most men
would now agree that MIR. Gladstone was
as conscientious statesman rs Peel, even
while they remember that one Of his
critics called him "a good man in the
worst sense Of the words" and ..another
said that he could persuade most men of
most things and himself Of almost any
thing. There Is measure Of truth In
these Judgments, but now that death has
extinguished envy and opened the gate to
good fame all the more generous Of Mr..
Gladstone's countrymen are willing to

Is to stipulate in the treaty that 1t shall

the administration desires temporary
