Boiling Mad.
From the New Orleans Times-perhocrat)

(From the New Orleans Times Derhocrat)
"Apropos of the hardships Of our boys In
Cuba said an officer who saw a good deal
of duty on the island, 'I'll tell you bit of
a story. Shortly after our regiment went
on duty near Santiago, at the beginning Of
Woods administration as Governor, We be-
gan to be able to take a little better care
OF ourselves than we had done throughout
the campaign. One Of our captains--I
won't mention his name, for he's sore
about the affair-was great crank on the
subject OF microbes, and took extraordi-
nary pains to avoid their society. He had
picked up a raw Cuban cook and gave him
the most explicit orders to boil all the
water used in the mess no matter where
he got it. Boil everything we drink he
said, or I'll kick your backbone through
the top of your hat
1.-The Cuban promised faithfully and
obeyed the order to the letter. week or
SO -afterward the captain. while foraging
about town, was presented with quart
bottle of champagne from one Of the ships.
He was overjoyed, and, securing q small
lump Of ice, he hustled back to camp and
turned over his prize to his cook. I want
you to get up something extra today he
said, for I'm going to ask few friends to
dinner to help drink this wine At the
appointed hour the party assembled. and
after serving repast Of stewed beef and
sweet potatoes the cook stalked in, car
rying a steaming saucepan half full Of
muddy yellow liquid. What in thunder is
that?' asked the captain. That's. tn
wine, senor,' replied the Cuban gravely
I boil i'm good deal an e mos all go
way The guests roared with laughter
and the captain was so thunderstruck he
couldn't say word. He subsequently, re-
covered him sufhciently to grab clean
ing rod and chase the Cuban nearly half
to get fight was to say boiled cham
pagne.' When left the wound still ram
kled."

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
An Enormous Increase i'm Murder
and Robbery.

(St Petersburg Correspondence London Globe)
The "Bourse Gazette" has just publish
ed the following letter from correspond
ent at Tomsk, In which the past and pres
ent conditions of Siberia are well depicted:
The new life of the country now being
called into existence by the construction
of the Siberian Railway is very clearly to
be discerned even at this moment. An i'm
mense stream of settlers is colonizing
tracts of land which hitherto have scarcely
been traversed, even by the hunter; COM
mercial men and all sorts Of nomadic peo-
pie in search Of an easy livelihood are
quickly rousing the country from its long
sleep of centuries. AS protest against
this disturbance of the old order of things.
there has come about an enormous in
crease in murders, robbery, theft, and all
kinds of evil deeds. In the regions trav-
ersed by the line, and in the adjacent
towns and villages, this state OF lawless-
ness Is increasing at a rapid rate: it may
with truth be said that scarcely day
passes In the towns of Siberia without the
occurrence of a case of robbery, murder,
or some such violent act. Even the trains
are attacked, the railway guards are rob-
bed, the railway wagons and depots are
frequently plundered, private houses are
broken into, and the entire families have
been killed by these bands Of vagrant rob-
bers In Irkutsk there has been formed
Rogues' Club, which carries on crime in
systematic manner. All along the line of
railway life and property are in continual
danger, and at Tomsk, Krassnoyarsk, and
Irkutsk one cannot go about the streets
at night without being armed. This state OF
things continued for some time to be con-
fined to the immediate vicinity Of the line,
and remote villages were left undisturbed.
Yennisseisk, Yakutsk and Barnaul had
not until recently felt the effects OF the
new life Now. however, these large and
hourishing towns have attracted the un-
desirable attention Of the marauding
bands. and the result is that crime is rap
Idly increasing in these three towns.
Especially remarkable is the influence
exercised by the railway upon the resident

Coal and Iron Firm.

New York, June 6.-As was the case yes
terday the stock market in the early deal
ings was chiefly Influenced by the course
OF Sugar Refining. That stock in turn was,
as before, affected by the uncertainty in
regard to the rate of dividend to be de-
clared tomorrow, in regard to which there
seemed to be more confidence this morn
ing that the regular dividend would be de-
clared. Western Union also was notably
strong on more positive statements regard
ing the dividend in that instance The
opening prices in the general market
showed irregular changes, but later the
general list became strong under the lead
Of Sugar Refining.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron shares were
firm and the Steel Industries advanced af-
ter an irregular opening. The granger
shares and New York Central were steady.
Consolidated Gas was weak and the local
traction shares were rather heavy at the
opening. though later they recovered with
the general market.
The London market for American stocks
showed irregular changes and the dealings
for foreign accounts were in small volume

From the Denver Republican.

 "J. P. Ferguson, 11-Wo7th Kansas" was the name as it stood on the hotel register The enterprising neSsgatherer stopped his finger as he ran over the list of names.
 '11Worth, Kansas. Where is the wag that put that down?" This latter to the clerk across the counter.
 "That's him-with the paper"
 The gatherer of news crossed the hall to accost the cheerful humoLrist. He was thinking of many jovial things to say. He planted himself before the gentleman "Can you tell me where Elevenworth is:' he asked, addressing the arms and legs that stuck out from the outspread paper T see you come from Kansas"
 The paper remained unmoved.
 "It's a new town, I suppose" he went on, not in the least disconcsrted by the silence. Boom, isn't it? Product of the newly arrived prosperity People here would be glad to hear about that"
 The questioner still remained hidden be- hind the extended pages. It required an extra effort on the part of the reporter to question tte third time. His professional dander was up and he went at it again.

The Samoan Commission.

The horse sense of the three great Teu- tonic nations interested in the settlement of the internal dissensions of Samoa, is shown in the appointment of three com missoners to settle all questions involved -.one from each country, and no provision has been made for an umpire or referee. In fact, provision has been made against the calling in of an outside personal non-Teu- ton-by the agreement that the commis- vote. They cannot carry out any policy unless all agreo upon it. Here is arbitra- tion of the stiffest sort among Teutons. And 1t is the best plan. Three honest, clear-headed Teutons can settle any Teu- tonic problem, and that is what the Samoan issue practically is.
 The British government has selected, 1t is said, MT. Elliott, a young man attached to the foreign office. who has carefully studied South Pacific problems. If Germany and the United States select two men equally competent and equally unprejudlced, there will be little doubt of speedy and satis- factory settlement. It is very important that no one who has been concerned in Samoan troubles be put on the commis- sion

COL. HENRY PATTERSON, CHEZ.
Delicious Compounds of Terrapin Which Ho
 Mixes by Instinct.

From the Washington Post.
 ''Years ago, when belonged to coteric of gay young cavaliers in New York city," said Colonel Henry Watterson, 'I designed the dish now generally known as lobster a Ia Newberg. I gave my idea to Charlie Delmonico and he saw that it was carried to successful execution. John Mccullough was one of us, and to John is due the ap- pearance of .broiled live lobster in the east. He had caught on to that epicurean way of preparing it during his stay in Califor- mia. I after years l attained some fame as a manipulator of certain dishes, terrapin perhaps being my masterpiece.
 Cautiously enough, all the newspaper stories have given me credit for being an artist in the preparation of oyster stews, but my experience with the bivalves is lm- ited. I always left them to John Chamber lin, while he would not allow any one but myself to attend to the diamond backs. | 'I can't begin to tell you how much of this ingredient or the exact quantity of the othor to put with the terrapin, but know how to blend them all in an instinct i've sort of way, and I've never yet found the man who didn't admit that my cooking was of the highest order."

TYLER's DAUGHTERS PENSION

From a Washington Letter.
 Commissioner Evans Friday signed a cer- tiicatc granting pension of $50 a month to Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple, daughter of President Tyler. She is the widow of James A. Scmple an officer of the Mexican war. During President Tyler's administra- tion, after the death of her mother, she undertook the duties of the first lady of the land at the white house. At present Mrs. Semple is drawing a pension of $S per month, but at it's last session congress in- creased it to $30.
 Mrs. Semple represents four presidents in point of relationship-James Monroe Will liam Henry Harrison, John Tyler and Ben jamin Harrison all of whom were cousins through the Armisteads and Tylers of Vir- gnia. Mrs. Semples husband was a pay- master in the navy at the outbreak of the civil war, and resigned to enter the con- federate service, in which he was conmis- stoned as paymaster. In granting an in- crease of pension to Mrs. Semple congress followed the precedent established in the case of Mrs. Dandridge, @ daughter of President Zachary Taylor, whose first hus- band, Colonel Bliss, was an officer in the United States army.

COTTON MILLS IN ALABAMA

Correspondence of the Alabama Wool and
 Cotton Reporter.
 Birmingham. Apyu 1.-The cotton mill in- dustry is one oAIne liveliest of the live in- terests in the south just now. Especially is this the case in Alabama. Several new mills are being erected and old ones in es-eased in capacity.
 Work will soon commence on the big plant which the Merrimack Mills company, of Lowell Mass, will put in at Huntsville, this state, for the manufacture of all kinds of cotton goods, including fine prints, do- mestics, etc. The cost of the mills there will be sl,5O0,O0O and 5000 people will be em- ployed
 The Strauss interests of New York have arranged to put in fine cotton mill plant at Decatur, this state. The buildings of the old Decatur car wheel works will be used for the industry, which will cause capi- tai outlay of $500000.
 One of the handsomest cotton mills in the south is that of the Ayondale mills of Bir- soingham. It has 33,392 spindles and 1000 yyons at work. New officers were chosen this week as follows: President and treas urer, B. B. Conner; first vice-president, B. F. Roden; second vice-president, J. H. Woodward secretary, J. H. T.

He is stronger this year than he was last year, just as he was stronger last year than he was the year before. The politicians do not like him for obvious req sons, but the people do.
