If:they only had revolutions and rebel
lions and wars on the South American
plan in other parts of the world it would
be possible to have more of them and
thus add to the excitement and gayety
all the plans are made for another upris-
ing, and so perfect is the stage manage
ment of the spectacle that there is every
assurance that there will be no fighting
when the government is overturned.

time and watch for an opportunity to
sneak into the stcte house again when
no one is looking.

If there were more Spaniards like the
Due d'Arcos, the Spanish minister at
Washington, his country would appear
in a better light before the world. The
duke pays a great tribute to Admiral
Dewey as a brave and noble man, who
fully deserves the honor he is receiving.
And what is still better, the duke says
there are now absolutely no differences
between the United States and Spain,
and it is the hope of all true Spaniards
that this condition shall exist, and he
adds that it is the ambition of his life
ITO bring about the very utmost of good
feeling and good will"

A CURIOUS CAUSE.
A Loaned Umbrella
Creates Clinton
Romance.
A SUITOR FROM BIRMINGHAM.
Clinton Man Was Also in
Favor, But is Now De-
fendant in Case.

Clinton. Aug. 15.-Behind a horn
handled, pewter-mounted, cotton UNI
brella in the office of Chief of Police
Oren B. Bates, there is a romance that
contains a woman, rivals and revenge.
Yesterday Chief Bates received from
the police of birmingham a warrant
calling for the arrest of Victoria Casaze,
and commanding "all the sheriffs and
district officers of all our cities and
towns" to take the body of said Victoria
Casaze wherever he might be found.
The warrant charges Victoria with
stealing an umbrella valued at So from
Henry Smith of birmingham. The war
rant is signed by J. H. Ladd, clerk Of
the district court in birmingham.
Chief Bates is vigilant even in small
matters. But he had help in this one,
for who should arrive this afternoon to
see that the warrant was executed but
Henry Smith, the complainant. Tho
document was given to Officer William
Grady. Smith went ahead to show the
way and accompanied Grady to the
fruit store kept by Antonio Carbonio.
Casaze was In the store, in his Sun
day clothes. He was surprised when
Officer Grady read the warrant to him,
but made no objection.
He was taken TO the police station and
locked up. Chief Michael Egan of Fran
ingham is coming after him this even
ing. The police say there is story be-
hind the arrest. The tale is that Smith
and Casaze were suitors for the hand of
the same young woman. On the night
Of the storm of few days ago the
owner of the umbrella Is said to have
called upon the young woman. He
looked forward to pleasant chat. But
Casaze was there, and there was a dim,
romantic light in the parlor just adap-
ted to a courtship.
1t was raining pitchforks and needles.
1t was not convenient for either young
man to so. But the atmosphere got so
uncomfortable after a while that Cas-
axe said good night.
well, if you must go, take the UNI
brella," the young woman said. Casaze
took the only umbrella in sight, as he
tells the story. 1t CHANGED to be the
umbrella owned by Henry Smith. When
Casaze came to Clinton he wanted to
be near the umbrella of his girl, so ne
brought 1t with him.
But Smith took another view of 1t. He
swore out warrant. He says he will
get his umbrella back, and his rival
will lose the young woman.
Chief Bates showed the umbrella to
q representative Of The Spy. 1t may be
worth SO, but it doesn't look it. The
police are certain there is a sweetheart
in the case somewhere.

A CRUEL HOAX.
Clinton Small Boys Invent Yarn to
See the Cops" Work.

See the Cops" Work.
Three small boys rushed into Chief
Bates Office, in Clinton, this afternoon,
out of breath.
"Oh, Mr.. Bates, there's a man lying
dead down back of Ross house, on
Clark street" they said all together.
Chief Bates secured the story from
them after a time. 1t was that last
evening Ross boy saw a man go into
the fields, near the ball grounds, and
that other boys had seen the same man
again this afternoon.
According to the boys, he was lying
very still and huddled up. They thought
that he was surely dead.
The story was so realistic, Chief
Bates thought there was something in
it. He procured team and took one
of his officers with him. The boys fol-
lowed to'show the way. But when the
chief arrived the fields were quite bare
of all that looked like a man
The chief says that some boy, to an
noy the police, invented the tale with a
heart fun Of Joy. The boys say that they
told the story in play, to make the cops
work on very hot day.
The police are not mad, but they're
not very glad, and the boy will be sad
that wanders their way tomorrow or
next day with a similar story to tell.

beer in her apron and wicked tongue
in her head.
She demanded the release of WEIGH,
whom, she informed the officers in
man, in the hands of two persons
whose early training had been ne
elected. She expressed her determine
ton never to be parted from the pris-
oner. To give her her way, the officers
conferred the honor of an arrest upon
Margaret, and charged her with the
crime of being drunk the same as they
charged Michael.
Both of the prisoners are well known
in town by certain people.
James Kelley is occupying a cell for
the second time He was found drunk.
John Donahue is sharing it with him.
