Havana. March The American
authorities in Cuba are attempting to
make the American soldiers here teeto-
talers by stopping the sale Of beer at
post exchanges and closing the bars In
Havana and Marianao for selling beer
or wine to priyates or noncommissioned
officers. The proprietors Of such places
are fined 500. but are allowed to reopen
after three days on giving bonds
The private soldiers, especially thr
volunteers. think tia hardship that they
may not buy beer when the officers Of
their regiments are unrestricted. espe-
cially as the volunteer officers feel com
radeship for their men and often buy
TASKS for them.
As matters stand now. the American
soldiers cannot get drink, not even
beer without breaking the law or fore
ing some one else 10 break H. Never
theless. all regulations to the contrary
Notwithstanding they will drink and
the present regulations 30 operate that
they can get only the worst brand Of
Havana brandy surreptitiously brought
into camp
On Sunday night seven cafes were
closed in Havana, Including those al
ready cabled. the Albisu and the Tacon.
The former was closed for keeping open
after hours. the latter because it, pro
prietor. "a Spaniard named Gonzales,
was said 10 have sold liquor 10 a ser

tati, n. declares that at the time the al

tables were crowded and about jOpcople
were at the bar getting drinks. among
them the sergeant In question. Several
times the barkeeper refused 30 serve the
sergeant. but the latter finally grasped

"El Captain was presented at

IN mirth and music, aud there are
several good voices with a splendid

Mr.. Vaudeville does his work we'll

ripples and dances throughout the
production with characteristic and

up in the Pearl river district" said a
Mississippi lumberman the other day.
there are a great many old settlers no
have received surprisingly large incomes
for the last decade. yet who live in the
rost primitive fashion imaginable. Their
steers, sheep and lumber bring in a steady
stream of money, while their expenses are
really next to nothing. The homestead is
generally log cabin: the furniture consists
of few beds, long table, and as many
chairs as there are people in the family,
and nearly everything they eat is grown on
the premises.
Naturally, one asks what they do with
their cash. And. although 1 believe ! am
pretty familiar with their habits. I must
admit that that point is mystery. 1t is q
significant fact, however, that they are
very fond of gold If you buy bunch of
steers from one of the old fellows | have in
mind he is very apt TO ask you when You
will be in New Orleans next. Get me the
gold while you are down there he will say
and pay me when you come back. | am III
no hurry about the money That we'll
known fondness for the hard metal has
given rise TO the belief that the old set
ground. and l am confident that a great
many of them have hidden away consider
able sums, la Capt. Kidd. One gentle
man, who is thoroughly familiar with the
country. remarked lately in my presence
that If all the gold buried in the Pearl river
district was put in one barrel il would bust
the hoops Thu natives have an instructive
distruSt of financial institutions, and very
few carry much money in bank"

Crocodiles, like ostriches, swallow peb
bles and small stones, which serve the mr.
pose of grinding their food. The natives
assert that ii is possible to tell the age of
a crocodile by the number of stones In its
stomach, for they swallow one each wear.
In point of fact, fifteen stones have been
found in the stomach of a crocodile twelve
feet long, whereas the average number for
younger ones varies between four and
eight. So says MIR. Voltkow, who has been
studying the matter for several years
