ANECDOTES or GARCIA.
How His Old elf-Ipficted Wound

The death of General Garcia recalls
some interesting stories of him mar
rated by Captain Francet, one of his
former staff officers, who lately spent
a few days in New Orleans. General
Garcia never entirely recovered from
the wounds inflicted by himself, when
captured by the Spaniarde, more than
20 years ago. said the captain. He
put his pistol under his chin and at
tempted to blow out his brains. but
the weapon was stiff on the trigger,
and in pulling it off the barrel was
naturally thrown forward a trifle, and
the ball ploughed up right behind his
nose, coming out of his forehead be-
tween the brows. This terrible wound
left him some strange souvenirs. At
times. suddenly. without warning, he
would find himself unable to articulate.
This always seemed to puzzle him, and
he would glance around with an eS-
preston of surprise, which we would
pretend not to notice. so as to spare
his feelings. Usually the fit only last
ed for moment, and his mental pro-
cess certainly never suffered any in
terruption. Again, especially on hot
days, his eyesight would become Curl
ously affected AS he himself describ-
ed it, the landscape seemed to run like
water and he would be unable to keep
his feet. I remember on one occasion,
during a consultation, he sprang up
suddenly, crying The earthquakeH in
Spanish. Then he smiled and tapped
his forehead 1T is only my foolish
eyes he said. He suffered a great
deal, yet was never cross or irritable.
He was the most uniformly courteous
and kindly man I ever met, and mad

was decidedly bookish, and always ear

ton Of writing a book describing his

an American alliance with Russia in
stead of Great Britain. He says his OBJ
servations in this country have
strengthened his pro- Russian views, and
adds:
The interests of the United States
and England are radically antagonistic
and the attempt to foster an alliance is
an artificial movement, so far as Eng
land is concerned. It has not captured
the hearts of the people and is merely
political device with two aims. First,
to divert Americas attention from con-
f1icting interests in her own hemisphere.
Second, to make the United States Great
Britain's catspaw in her diplomatic
game in the East. She thinks that II
she can point to the United States as an
ally she will be able to eXtort better
terms from Russia. What America
wants in the East is trade, and she will
do more by cooperation with Russia
than by antagonizing Russia. The lat
ter already practically controls China
and will give the United States what
she wants If friendly. 1t would be mad
ness for England and America to at
tempt to coerce Russia into concessions.
The combined nations of the world
could not whip Russia, any more than
they could the United States. The most
they could do would be to lombard a
few coast towns, while Russia's rail-
roads could pour so many soldiers into
China that any the United States and
Great Britain could send would be a
handful in comparison"

Because of this fact. Fred kerth and
dis bride are out $3.50. Burglars en-

away with jewelry valued at that
amount. Professor Kerth and Mrs. DR..

has duties to perform at Renshaw hall
on evenings when that place is open.
Last evening a dance was given there
and he was called away from home.
Mrs. kerth took advantage of her hus-

The couple left home about half-past /
O'clock. Before going they fastened up
the house by propping chair UP under

leaving, dropped her wedding presents
into an album on a stand in the front
room.
\ Mrs. Kerth called on her friends and
returned home about $50, preceding her
husband by about an hour. She entered
the front door and went through to the
kitchen. The chair that had been
braced against the back door was out
of place and Mrs. Kerth knew at once
she had had visitors in her absence.
Her first thought was of her valuables,
and she went at once to look for them.
Her worst fears were confirmed, they
were gone.
Mrs. Kerth contained herself as best
She could till her husband returned. On
hearing the news he ran out in the
street to look for policeman, but he
looked in vain for about two hours for
the officer who should have been on the

too late to accomplish anything in the
way of finding the burglars.

breaking the skin and drawing blood,
but doing no more serious damage.
Cooper, in company with Henry Blum
was on his way home. They were
walking east on Park street, and as
they passed the Clarence hotel, they
saw Finley standing in the door talk
ing with some other men. The two
men had gone only about 100 feet after
passing Finley, when they heard shot
and Cooper remarked I'm hit" Turn
ing around. they saw Finley running
away. Just then Officers Conlan and
Torpey, who happened to be near ran
across the street, and intercepting Fin

What the occasion for the shooting
was could not be ascertained, as Fin
ley was communicative and Cooper
said it was mystery to him. He said
he was acquainted with Finley, but
had never had even a word with him
and had not on this occasion even adj
dressed him. AS Finley was drunk the
police were of the opinion he merely
fired off his gun without intending to
hit any one. He was lodged in the
county jail.
