MAYOR FIXES PRICES.
Prevents Extortion by Merchants at
Bayamo.

Havana, July 1.-THE influx Of Gu
bans into BayamO. province Of Santiago
de Cuba IN anticipation OF payment for
the surrender Of their arms, continues
and the merchants Of that place have
attempted to profit by this situation
They raised prices beyond reason, upon
which point the mayor argued with
them pointing out the injustice of their
attitude The merchants however, re-
fused to modify their prices and the
mayor therefore issued an order regu-
lating prices and providing a heavy
fine for violation OF the ordinance. Food
is now cheaper. the price OF liquors is
high There are about 5000 men in and
about the city but there have been no
disturbances. All those who had arms
in their possession have delivered them
to the mayor and obtained receipts so
as to enable them to obtain payment
when paying off begins.
The newspapers here have received
dispatches from Santiago de Cuba. ask
ing them to thank Governor General
Cubans and for his orders 10 pay them
as promptly as possible, which VIII pre-
vent a great deal Of suffering.

Pair of Skies Won the Mine.

LFrOn the Spokane spokesman Review
General Charles S. Warren. a pioneer
of Butte, but now resident of Spo-
kane. and Miles Finlen shook dice in
the summer of 1852 for a copper mine
then valued at $3.50 600 and now at a
cool $1,000, 600. The mine adjoined the
Anaconda, and was held jointly by
Warren and F1nlen- The latter is at
present a wealthy mine operator at
Butte, and is noted everywhere as
plunger in stocks, on horse races and
in political campaign. In the latter
amusement he makes the miIlionaires
of Butte hold their breath when he Of
fers to wager reckless sums On his IA
vOrite candidate.
Warren and Finlen had owned the
property for some years, but had been
unable to agree upon the method in
which It should be worked They met
one day in Lynch Brothers saloon, and
the old wordy quarrel was at once re-
neWed as to the relative values of diff
ferent methods of working the mine
IN sell you my interest for what it
cost me-" said Finlen-

the general.
Wei, III buy your interest

wei. by c.. III shake dice with
you to see whether you OF I own the
mine" Finlen rejoined, with some
warmth
Warren hesitated a moment. His
friends believed Finlen was bIufhng.
but Warren knew the man. The mine
was valuable one. After considering
a moment Warren took his hands out
of his trousers pockets and remarked:
Miles. I'll go you"
Give US the dice bOxi' yelled Finlen
to the bartender. The worries were pro-
duced.
What do you want to shaker asked
F'inIen.

Any way viii suit me too" said
FinIen. Now, name your game"
Name yours" CURLY replied War
rem.
-'One flop, aces high, then" said Fin
len as he ratified the dice in the box
Aces high goes" said Warren, the
winner to set up the wine for the
house"
That suits me. Here goes" said Fin
len as he spilled the dice on the bar
Two skies. I got you, Charlie, this
time" as he passed the box over to
Warren.
THAT looks good. but I think I can
beat it, Miles. said Warren as he tossed
the dice out
There was not a pair in sight
Ace high IS a good hand sometimes,
but it loses this time. Charlie" remark
ed Finlen as he threw a 500 bill on the
bar and added: Give the boys what
they want, bartender"
The next day Mr.. Warren made out
the deed
The mine was later sold to the Ana
conda company by Mr.. Ffnlen. Three
years ago the adjoining claim was sold
for $3.50, 600 to Marcus Daily.

These silk and wool crepons are much
nicer for ordinary visiting and church
than any silk or satin and are not nearly
so expensive as velvet. They require no
trimming and indeed Will not bear it.
They ara as lustFous as any silk and have
the softness and other good qualities Of

Broadeloth, venetian and French cloth

tailor suits. foms OF them have the la
psis of white silk OF satin, and thoy are
finely embroidered, trimmed with Jet or
overlaid with heavy lace. / heard that
some are hand painted, but have seen
none yet.
Tailor suits I have mentioned often,
and there is little to say Of them that
women do not know The jackets are
the prestiest things out. A new fancy is
to have the sleeves tucked or stitched and
the back and collar likewise treated in
the same way.
The poloneise and tunic continue In
favor, and skirts are as narrow as ever

naise was smooth and nice all down the
sides and back, but in front it was
brought up across to the left side in deep
folds, falling from the waist line in most
graceful drapery.
Waists Of silk, velvet, cashmere,
French flannel and veIveteen are provid-
ed to wear with all sorts Of skirts, but
mostly rough plaids or black. These
waists are nearly all corded with narrow
featherbone or coralline piping, which is

Alfred Dreyfus stood outside the garden
at the end of the carriage drive leading
to a nsighboring villa.
On seeing him his little boy and girl,
Pierre and Jeanne, jumped out of the
carriage which was taking them, with
their grandparents, NJ. and Nine. Hada-
mard, from the railway station, whence
they had arrived from Paris, aud ran to-
ward their father. Pressing them both In
his arms, Dreyfus kept them locked in q
long embrace. He was overwhelmed with
emotion and unable to speak single
word This first interview with his chill
dren after fve years separation affected
him so deeply that he remained complete
ly prostrate with nervous exhaustion dur
ing the entire day.
Speaking to NJ. Jules Huret, the Figaro
correspondent, in the course of that mem
orable journey from Kennes to Carpen-
tras, Dreyfus said i'll answer to ques-
ton as to his future plans:
81 would live alone with my children
and my wife. Ny children are henceforth
my greatest JOY upon earth. The 'elder, 1t
seems, remembers me. The younger was
only few months old in 1894, so ! do
not know her did not care to see them
at Rennes, As I would not leave the mel
ancholy picture Of the prison IN their
young minds. You must never sadden the
Imagination Of children. But am going
to see them with the greatest JOY In two
days. I want to bring them up myself, In
company with their mother, to instruct
and educate them"
