TOLD THE SAME. STORY.
Why Depew Doesn't Like a Certain
Man III Buffalo.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
There is a man in Buffalo who can never
hope to get on good terms with Chauncey
NJ. Depew. Once they were friends To-
day Mr. DepeW looks upon the Buffalo man
with contempt. The manner of their es-
arrangement is rather interesting
OF course, 1t happened a dinner. Din
ners are responsible for nearly all things
that happen to Chauncey. Mr.. Depew had
been called upon for d speech and he re-
sponded by telling story.
Senator Evarts," said the great racon-
teur, bought d farm in Vermont recently
and took his family there to spend the
summer. Mr.. Evarts managed to visit the
folks about once week. but business made
it necessary for him to live in New York
Among the appurtenances appertaining to
the farm was donkey, which soon became
a great pei with the young folks
Not long ago Mr.. Evarts was startled
by the receipt of telegram from home
1t was from his youngest daughter. Dear
papa she said, something ais the donkey
I'm afraid he is sick. He keeps hee- haw-
ing all the time and seems TO be very lone
some. Please come home "
After the laughter which followed Mr. De-
pew 5 recital had subsidized the Buffalo man
got up and said:
THAT, as Abraham Lincoln used to saw
reminds me of a story which heard some
years ago. Senator Evarts had bought
farm down in Vermont and took his family
there to spend the summer. Among the
appurtenances appertaining to the place
was donkey, which soon became d great
pet
The guests smiled broadly as he began
and when he had finished the same story
that had been told by Mr.. Depew they ap-
plauded and declared that it was a good
joke. But chauncey according to the state
ment of one who related the incident, felt
that he had been insulted, and when he
was reminded that the Buffalo man was
as deaf as post and hadn't heard a word
that had been said the gentleman who
has been chosen to help represent New
York in the Senate only seemed to feel more
aggrieved. The Buffalo man had no bust
ness to be deaf and that Is why he and
Mr.. DepeW can never be friends again

PARLIAMENT BULLS.
Recent Remarkable Statements Made
in the House of Commons.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail
The house of commons produces bulls
and mixed metaphors of rare quality Here
are a few samples:
Mr. B. L. Cohen, NJ P, on one occasion
told an opponent that the sheet anchor of
his argument is not one which lies in the
mouth of this house"
At the period when continual reference
was being made to the "Gladstone UNI
brella." a conservative orator, in the course
of debate informed the followers of Mr..
Gladstone that I'VE also have umbrella,
which will soon be heard, and when it
speaks 1T will be with uncertain sound"
A couple of nights later another member
astonished bewiIdered house by eXclaim-
ing: Il vision float before my eyes
it is the car Of progress, rolling on in its
majesty, crashing its teeth as it goes!''
A Scotch member startled the house by
an eloquent outburst: Sir, look at the
great cities of antiquity-where are they
now? Some have persisted so completely
that it Is doubtful if they ever existed
The subject under discussion was bimet-
allism, and the intricate qualifications of the
topic were intensified by three members,
who wished to give instruction to their
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The first orator let off
this original aphorism: All along the I'M
trOdden paths of the past We discern the
footprints of Unseen hand Then there
was d rush of members to leave the house,
but those who remained were charmed by
another member describing several recent
bye-electiOnS "hayStack of StraWS,
showing which way the wind blows Ten
minutes later the commons was told by the
member for north of England city that
he had in his constituency scores of desti
tute children" OF course laughter loud and
long greeted this, whereupon the honorable
member FASTENED to explain that he did
not mean exactly what he said
Lord CurzOn, when plain Mr.. George Cur
ION, was once known to hopelessly mix his
metaphors. On the occasion in question he
highly amused the house of commons by
saying: We are not yet out of the woods
in South Africa and to get out the ship of
state requires most careful steering,'
An Irish member, Mr.. Murnaghan, deliv-
cred himself Of this delightful remark: Il
am not going TO reiterate what | was going
to say" Another member from the Emer-
aid Isle, Mr.. William Field. on one occasion

very difficult to impose on even experienced
scientists, for among the real eggs of most

even the most practiced expert could not
readily distinguish all of them. The eggs

Formal SubpOenas.

The next morning we were served with
various complicated documents on stamped
paper and with many signatures and flour
ishes. We made out that these were sub
stantially in the nature Of subpoenas for
. o'clock on a definite morning. We made
our appearance on three different mornings
| at the hour designated, but there was al
ways something ahead, Our lawyer
though he occupied a distinguished place
at the Havana bar and might have left
these proceedings to his clerk, always APP
peared in the magistrates court. Some
times we breakfasted with him. sometimes
he breakfasted with US. Finally our case
was reached. The magistrate took our
testimony, which was written out by the
scribe. Then he took the testimony of the
railway agent who had placed us in the
custody of the orden publicos. Then he
heard other witnesses. One of these was
the Cuban lawyer who had advised us to
settle the sixty cents rather than have
trouble. He gave his testimony with the
indefinite impartiality which a lawyer al
ways shows when on the stand 1t was
like blind and deaf man telling what he
had seen and heard.
The railway agent had called us Ameri-
can pigs had shaken his fist at us and
had otherwise abused us. but he told the
magistrate he was sure he had done moth
ing except to civilly request us to pay our
fare. Our lawyer had consulted US whether
we wanted to be indignant at his abuse and
insist on his punishment in some way, or
whether We should let that pass. AS we
had nothing against the poor fellow we
told him to let that pass. Then the mag
istrate gave his decision. He found that
nobody as an individual was wrong and
nobody being wrong he dismissed all
charges and all individuals, but without
prejudice to our rights for a civil action
against the railway company. Our law

to be the company's lawyer smiled and ask
ed If everything was satisfactory 1t was
not satisfactory until our lawyer had asked
the magistrate who was to pay the ex-
penses. 1t appeared that the reams of
stamped paper which had been used and
the transcribing of them would amount to
something like $500. The magistrate replied
that as nobody had been found culpabIe.
nobody would have to pay for the legal
documents. This decision was what might
be called an innovation in court procedure
in Havana, because while everybody might
be innocent, somebody always had to pay
for the documents. We had our own sus-
picions that in this case the railway COM
pany really paid the costs.
After our case had been dismissed with
out prejudice" We had another breakfast
with our lawyer. He announced the re-

A Partisan Egg Forger.

From the Scientific American.
An egg forger has been recently exposed
in Paris. Eggs are about the last thing
that one would expect to be forged, but it
should be remembered that there are many
collectors of birds eggs who are willing to
pay a high price for rare birds eggs. A
visitor saw this clever forger make PEN
gum egg which could not be distinguished
from the real one that served him for a
model He made the egg of plaster of
paris which he burnt and glazed. The egg
was intended for a man who furnished eggs

Admiral Dewey. Views.

We reprint on our first page an inter
view with Admiral Dewey on board the
famous flagship Olympia, by reporter
of the New York Evening Post, and
taken from Tuesdays issue Of that
paper. We select the interview from
the Post for the reason that it is ample
and entertaining-the Admiral himself
made it the latter-and because there
is not the suggestion Of yellow Journal
ism about this paper. Other papers,
doubtless. will contain interviews that
will make Admiral Dewey vince, but
we do not believe he will have occasion
to question single word Of the inter-
view credited to him in the New York
Evening Post.
While all of the great Admiral's
utterances will be read with eager in
tersst, peculiar significance will attach
to his expressions with respect to con-
ditions in the Philippines. And he
speaks as fearlessly as he fights. He
says that. in his opinion, the Filipinos
are not yet fit for elf-government-an
opinion that any reasonable man may
reasonably entertain until these people
are no longer restrained by force of
arms from attempting the experiment.
but that they are much more fit than
the Cubans, and better people ia very
way; he says that they have been
badly treated for years, and naturally
look upon us with distrust, but that
after they learn US better they will take
kindly to us. Gen. Otis, he thinks, is
trying to do too much, and this 10 evil
IDENTIFY solid opinion, as the man who
is always ondeavoring to do too much
seldom accomplishes anything.
The opinion of Admiral Dewey with
respect to the Filipinos is especially
valuable, as 1t comes form man who
has had every opportunity for accurate
information, and in whose judgment
the American people have the greatest
confidence. He is honest in declaring
that the people of the Philippines are
not being treated rightly, and that they
will take kindly to US when they under
stand us better. Is it not time to make
them understand us betterP To stop
making cruel warfare upon them? TIC
appeal to their manhood, and endeavor
open way to them fer that citizenship
which they SO earnestly desire, aud for
which Dewey thinks they are better
fitted than the Cubaus? Will it not be
well for the administration to give heed
to Dewey. the brave and successful
fighter, rather than to Otis, the incom'
petent?
Admiral Dewey is about to be made
the recipient of the greatest public
,, demonstration ever accorded any war
rior of sea or land. He will be madt
, the idol of a people who love brave ner
. and worship their heroic deeds. Tht
admiring cheers OF millions of people
will ring in his ears And for nothing
!. will he be more deserving of this CRANE
demonstration than for his honest ant
kindly expressions with respect to tn
y, people Of the Philippines.
