A BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN:
It Was Her First Experience With
 Real Life Sized Oysters.

IA young girl from the state of Wash ingtca, who came east to visit a west ern senators family last winter, had an experience she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days of her stay in the Capital were spent there, and her meals were served in her room On the very first evening she ordered oys- ters for dinner. Now, she knew notf- ing Of 6 real life sized oyster, having spent all her days on the Pacific coast. wiee-e oysters are net oysters at all, but something altogether different. She was young and exceedingly inex- perienced, and she said to the waiter:
 Bring me fifty oysters
 The waiter gasped.

 "Oh, mo-" she answered cheerfully. Bring newell, dinner, too"

REPORTERS FUNERAL EMBLEM
It Brought Down Even the House of
 Mourning

MT Jacob A. Riis tells an amusing aneodote of 6 reporter detailed to po- lice headquarters by a well knclwn newspaper. His special forte was fires. He knew the history of every house in town that ran any risk of being burned. knew every fireman, and could teli-within a thousand dollars, more or less, what was 1he value of the goods stored in any building in the dry goods district, and for how much they were insured. If he couldn't, he did any how, and his gu ssseS often came near the fact, as shown in the final adjust ment. He sniffed a firebug from afar, and knew without asking how much salvage there was in bale of cotton after being twenty-four hours in the fire.
 He is dead, poor fellow. In life he

The f1remen in the next block, with whom he madeShis head quarters when of duty, so that he might always be within hearing of the gong, wished to give some tangible ev3denlle Cf their regard for the old reporter, but, being in hurry, left it to the florist, who knew him well, to choose the design. He hit upon a fio- ral fire badge as the proper thing, and thus it was that when the company of mOurners was assembled, and the funeral service in progress, there ar rived and 'was set upon the coffin, in the view of all, that triumph of the florists art a shield of white roses, with this legend written across it in red immortellas: Admit within the fire lines only" It was shocking, but irresistible.

CHEEK AND KING."
Lumber Firm Made Up of Michigan
 Man and Slams Ruler.


 Washington, May 2O--Warner ? Sutton of Saugatuck, Mich, has just i sold fifty elephants. He received $37.- 12O for the bunch, or $742.2O per head And he says it was an extra gClcdi price 1 He had had the animals CpCn the market for two years, and would have been glad to get $32,OO0 for them. The elephant market was glutted, however, and he had to wait until a customer came along who could afford to own such a large flock and to employ the 15O men it takes to care for and work them.
 These elephants were a portion of Sutton is engaged in settling up for the widow, Mrs. Sarah Bradley Cheek of Oakland, Cal The late MT. Cheek was an American citizen resident in Siam, and being man who feared nothing, he went into the lumber bus iness in partnership with the Siamese king. His majesty furnished the for ests and possibly the capital. At any rate MT Cheek put in the brains and the enterprise prcspered. It is not charged that Cheek died because he was the kings partner, but at any rate he passed away, and there were rumorS of differences between him and the king before he did so.
 When Mrs Cheek asked for a set tIenant there was trouble. What the matter was is not clear, but it seems the king wasnS going to be rash about paying her anything. As he had 30G wives himself, it may be ts,at he re- gardS wives as strictly a luxury and not to be considered in connection with business. Then, again, it may be that in view of the number of his own better halves, the king was ap- palled at the precedent he would es- tablish if he weakly turned Cheeks property over to a woman. Anyhow, he wouldn't pay, and stood pat Cn it.
 Mrs. Cheek was a Michigan girl and had a brother, the Rev. Dan Bradley of Grand Rapids, through whom the matter was placed in the hands of Mr. Sutton. The latter has had con-. siderable experience in handling re calcitrant foreigners. He had never groomed an unruly king, but with abundant faith in the persuasive vir. tues of the scream of the American eagle, he decided to take the case and gG at his Siamese majesty just as he would an ordinary Dago. There is place over ill the state department

He would have as much right to cut a hole in his neigh5cr's fence One side of a fence at least is always supposed to te Cn the land of the man who builds it. The city is not bound to provide ventilation and means of egress and ingre5s for MT. Ward, who is nonresident. Let him there fore abandon his design of muilating the projected fence'' He cannot have Phoenix for his front yard.

That ..Matchless" Leader.

1t is interesting to note the differ
ence of opinion which exists between
some of the great men of the Demo
cratic party on the question of eI-
pansion, says the Philadelphia Star
Even if there were no nightmare of
silver to rise up and terrorize those
who are seeking to bring order out of
the chaos which exists in the Demo
cracy, there is still grave danger that
the subject of expansion and anti
expansion will prove a source of seri-
GUS concern to the chief men of the
Democratic party.
On the one hand he who the Penn
sylvania Democrats have styled ''our
matchless leader" is striving with
might and main to array his party
followers upon the side of anti-expan-
sion, or, as ne delights to call it, anti
Imperialism. By speeches and by
writings he is endorsing the views
and policies of the Hon. Edward
Atkinson, and he has lately used the
columns of the Independent to attack
the policy of the Administration in
dealing with the Filipinos.
On the other hand, we see the star
eyed goddess of reform, in the person
of Henry Watterson, taking up the
cudgels in behalf of the expansion
side of the question. In the Louis
vile Courier-J ournal he riddles Mr.
Bryan's arguments fore and aft. He
exposes the vulnerable points in the
article, and points out clearly that
the doctrine of expansion in the
United States is as old as the Govern,
ment itself. "If," says Mr.. Waiter.
son, 1--WE cannot acquire sovereignty
over the FilipinOs, then we could not
acquire sovereignty over the CreOles
in Louisiana and the Spaniards in
Florida, and rightfully Louisiana
still belongs to France and Florida tC
Spain
Without presuming to settle the
quarrel between these two eminent
members Of the Democratic party, i
is proper to say that the position
taken by Mr.. Watterson is the correc
one. The United States entered int
the war with Spain with no idea o
waging a warfare for the acquisition
of territory. The sudden and unex
pected victory Of Dewey in Manila
bay opened up problem from which
the United States could not get away
even had it been so inclined.
Mr.. Bryan and his followers neeS
not worry themselves unnecessaril!
about the matter. The Republican
party will meet aud settle this ques
tion as it has met and settled othe
/, momentous questions in the past, anC
that, too, without the assistance o
the Democratic party. In the mean
time let the bloOdless internecine wa
between the Democratic brethrel
proceed. 1t amuses them and doesn'
hurt anybody.

WORD comes from Nebraska, Iowa,
the Dakotas and Minnesota that far
mers are having difficulty in getting
help enough to harvest their crops,
and in many localities it has been
necessary for women and boys to
assist in gathering the grain. En-
ployment agencies in Chicago are
sending hundreds of men to the harv-
est fields and the constant demand is
for more. The lack of help has had
the effect of raising wages in an un-
usual degree. Six dollars a day is
offered for engineers to run threshing
machines 81 is offered for feeders
and sack men, and 81 25 and $3.50 for
common hands, including board.

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE,
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

ELECTIONS IN CUBA.
Time Somewhat Distant when They
Can Be Held to Advantage.

Time Somewhat Distant when They
Can Be Held to Advantage.
Washington, Aug. 16. - General
Brooke will be called to Washington to
consult with Secretary Root concern"
ing affairs in Cuba. The secretary de-
sires to have the benefit of General
Brooke's knowledge of the condition
of things in the island before he reach
es any definite conclusions as to fu-
ture policy for Cuba.
Colonel Kennon, of the Thirty-fouTth
infantry, recently appointed, but who
has been on duty at Havana as as
sistant adjutant general, had a con-
ference with Secretary Root yesterday.
AS to elections in Cuba, Colonel Ken
non told the secretary that he thought
the time was still somewhat distant
when they could he beld to advantage.
By provision in the peace treaty the
Spanish residents in the island were
given one year from the date of ex-
change of ratifications in which to de-
clare their preference as to citizenship.
Elections could not be held, he said,
until after the year elapsed in justice
to this clause.
Colonel Kennon said that the people
of Cuba were fast coming to the con-
clusion that the interests of all would
be best subserved by these people ac-
cepting Cuban citizenship and by
Spaniards and Cubans acting in har-
mony, and while they do not mix we'll
at present, the feeling Of irritation is
wearing away. The matter of suffrage
is one. the colonel said, that must be
carefully considered. The disadvant-
ages which a great proportion of the
people have been under and which
have prevented them from being edu-
Gated will make it extremely hazardous
to grant universal suffrage when the
time comes for holding an election,
