IMMUNE FROM MUSIC.
The Odd Verdict of sore.y Tried
Teacher Who Was Disappointed
In Pupil.

One of Chicago's music teachers, a
Frenchman, went to Cuba as bugler in
an illinois company. Since his return
he has had some difficulty in building
up a profitable class, and for that rea-
son he has been compelled to accept
number of unpromising pupils, says
the Inter Ocean,
The patience of the teacher became
exhausted in the case of one pupil, the
daughter of North side board of trade
man. In moment of reclSlessness the
Frepchman summoned all the English
at his command and wrote the follow
ing note to the father of the girl who
was not making advancement in her
piano studies:
Dear Sir: 1t regrets me, indeed, to
make announcement to you that your
daughter is what may be called a music
immune. AS man of honor give you
my word that, even should she be ex-
posed repeatedly to infection at grand
operas and concerts, not single germ
of music would lodge in her mind, her
soul. her constitution in general.
Again. with apologies most humble l
ito you declare that my pupil is music
immune, and so hereby muster her
put of my class. with regrets most sad"

A TIMELY WARNING.
How a Member Of Gen. Miles star
Escaped the spaninrds In
Porto Rico.

Capt Whitney. of the staff Of Gen.
Miles, who made the military recon-
Nuisance of Porto Rico, and furnished
the material upon which the plan of
campaign was based. owes his life to
a young woman attendant in a photo
graph gallery at Ponce. Whitney had
spent month in Porto Rico in various
.'isguiscs, principally as sailor from u
British merchantman and wore shah
by seaman's dress. He kept his notes
and memoranda carefully sewed under
the collar On the back of his shirt. One
day as he was making preparations to
leave for the United States he went into
photograph gallery at San Juan to
buy such views as he could find of the
harbor and Notifications and various
places along the coast. Watching her
opportunity. young Porto Rican girl
who was employed in the place, whis-
pered to him that the Spaniards were
looking for an American spy who was
disguised as sailor. and limited that he
better not be seen on the street. Whit
ney thanked her for her information
but assured her that they could not be
looking fer him because he was an
Englishman. He made good use of the
warning. however. and concealed HIM
self until dark. when he rowed out to
an English ship in the harhor and per-
suaded The sailors to stow him away.
The first thing Capt. Whitney did
when he returned to Porto Rico with
Gen. Miles was to call upon his I'M
known friend in the photograph gal
lery. She did not recognize him at first
with shaven face and a gilt-edged uni
form. but recalled the incident as soon
as it was mentioned. and said that she
was confident he was the man the au-
thorites wereloolSingfor, and had given
him the warning because her sympa-
thies were with the Americans.

LAST MAN ON THE MAINE.
Capt. sigsbec Requested His Oflcera
to Precede Him on the
Wrecked Ship.

Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee in his "Per-
sonal Narrative of the Maine" in the
Century, speaking of the scene follow
ing the explosion, says:
ut was hard blow to be obliged to
leave the Maine; none of us desired to
leave while any part of her poop re
manned above water. We waited until
satisfied that she was resting on the
bottom of the harbor. Lieut.. Comman-
der Wainwright then whispered to me
that he thought the forward ten-inch
magazine had been blown up into the
burning material amidship and might
explode at any time, with further dis
astrous effects. He was then directed
to get everybody into the boats, which
was done. 1t was an easy operations;
one had only to step directly from the
deck into the boat. There was still
some delay to make sure that the ships
stern had grounded, and still more be-
cause of the extreme politeness of the
officers. who considerably offered me a
steadying hand to step into the boat.
Lieut.. Commander Wainwright stood
on one side and Lieut.. Holman on the
other; each offered me a hand sug-
gested the propriety of my being the
last to leave. and requested them to
precede me. which they did There was
favorable comment later in the press
because left last. 1t is fact that
was the last to leave, which was only
proper; that is to say. it would have
been improper otherwise; but virtually
all left last. The fine conduct of those
who came under my observation that
night was conspicuous and touching.
The heroism of the wounded men did
not see at the time. but aftelward good
reports of their behavior were very
common The patient way in which
they bore themselves left no doubt that
they added new honors to the service
when the Maine went down"

Outside assistance came from Cheboy-
gan and Milwaukee, the latter city
sending two of its best engines.
The territory burned over includes
Franklin street to the lake, distance
of two blocks, and from Pierce to Wis
consin street, three blocks. The block
bounded by Washington and Pierce
from Franklin to Lake was badly
scorched.
Engineer Kuclie, of the chair com
pany, is missing, and it is feared was
burned to death.
The latest estimates on the losses
bring the figures up to 100000. Of
this amount $350.000 is on the property
of the Wisconsin Chair company. the
balance falling on the rest of the busi-
ness and residence section of the
burned district.
Michael j. Hackett, pipeman of en-
CINE company No. A, Milwaukee, was

Capt. P. j. Linehan. of the same com
pany, was also injured from the same

sidered serious.

CRIME AND FRAUD.

The penitentiary investiga-
ting committee, which has been
examining into the manage
ment Of the State penitentiary
farms for some time, find that
much brutal conduct has been
carried on at the Northampton
farm. Governor Russell has
been constrained to call upon
Capt. W. II. Day, superintend-
ent Of the penitentiary, for the
discharge of Lewis Summerell,
the unfeeling supervisor of
that farmr on account of the
cruelty shown by him. The
conduct Of the farm has been
reeklng with crime, and it was
found that one convict was
whipped to death. Such bar
barous treatment of prisoners
was scarcely ever brought to
light in North Carolina.
In addition to this, the Raj
eigh correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer says: 1T is said
that great frauds have been
perpetrated at some of the
penitentiary farms in the mat
ter of sales Of crops, weighing
Of cotton, ETC., and the revela :
tons will equal in point of sem
sation those regarding cruelty
to convicts.' The people Of
the State have certainly never
witnessed such baseness before
on the State farm. These kind
Of deeds are disgrace to the
State. No wonder that the
penitentiary, of late, has not
been self suStaining.-Salis-
bury Sun.
