FAMOUS MINIATURES

Comte de Guiche owed his life to.
wearing a snuffbox over his heart, for
the box turned aside = bullet while in
battle. In the center of the snuffbox
was miniature of Henrietta, duchess,
of Orleans, daughter of Charles 1.
Cromwell lost his head through q
miniature. Aolbein was dispatched by
Cromwell on 9 mission to Flanders TO.
paint miniature of Anne of Cleyes for
her sutton, Henry VIII, and so beauti-
ful was the miniature that Henry was
content to wed her. But when he saw
Lady Anne and found her so far in
ferior to the painting the storm burst
on the minister, Cromwell, and not on
the painter.
Once a miniature was the cause of a
suicide. Charles i. so admired a min
iature painted by Gibson that he par
ticularly requested his servant" Van
derdort, a Dutchman whom he had
made keeper of the cabinet and TO as
sist in the 'mynt," to take the greatest
care of it. The Jealous man overdid il,
| for when one day his ma iesty desired to
see it again it could not be found. This
so preyed on the servants mind that be
| hanged himself.

Gen. Castro Captures Puerto Cabelio, Vens
ezueIa, After Terrible Battle in Which
$50 Persons Were Killed.

Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, Nov. 10
Gen. Parades, a former commander in
the army of ex-Pres1dent Andrade,

upon him by Gen. Cipriano Castro and
the de facto authorities to surrender
the town, even when this was rein

THE most reliable reports which have
been received from Cape Nome indicate
that the gold deposits in that quarter
will turn out to be at least as rich as
those in Klondike. Happily, too, the
Cape Nome diggings are in American
territory. The exactions and extor
tions practiced by the Canadians will
be unknown in the United States re
gion. AS the diggings in the Cape
Nome case are on American ground
they will be of more interest and profit
Ito the country. The spring and summer
of 1900 are likely to see lively times in

BoURKE COCHRAN suggests that the
United States hold the Filipinos in pawn
Tor maintain sovereignty over them, -
to use his more exalted 1anguage-until
they have paid the $50, 600. 900 which this
country gave to Spain under the treaty
of Paris. When the Filipinos have
paid that money Mr.. Cochran thinks
they should be given their independ-
ence, that is, the title to the Philippines
