4 study in Brown.
From the Detroit Free Press,


"'If that drummer ever puts up at this
house again I'll try to make his stay in
teresting," said the clerk of hotel in one
of Michigan's liveliest towns. as he scowled
at a bellboy, who was trying hard not TO
laugh.
He came in here the other day and,
after registering turned the page back
and looked at the names of the day before
Say he said suddenly L have discovered
a funny thing in the last few days, and
that is that there are more persons reg
lstering under the name OF Brown than
there are under the name OF Smith. l
don't know whether the Brown family is
more numerous or whether they travel
more than the Smiths. But it is a fact,
nevertheless that there are more Browns
to be found on the hotel registers than
there are Smiths
"'That hasn't been my experience,
answered and you will find that it ism I
true at this hotel, for there are six Smiths
registered here to one Brown
You don't know he retorted. Now
to prove what l say, and make it more in
teresting, will wager you that by the time
I'm ready TO leave tomorrow there will be
more Browns on the register than Smiths.
Il thought l had an easy mark. so
took him up. He proposed that l should
buy him a 25-cent cigar for every Brown
whose name went down on the register,
and he would do the same for me when
the name was Smith
THAT was agreeable to me, and l simply
chuckled to myself, for 1 knew OF at least
two Smiths who were due, and who would
undoubtedly be here before the drummer
left
well, in less than ten minutes it be-
gan to rain Browns. l never saw SO
many Browns together in my life. The
hotel register began to look like record
of the Brown family. Every few minutes
the drummer would call around. check uI
the register and demand the cigars COM
ing to him.
'"The truth came out at last. That mis-
erable drummer had discovered that there
was to be a reunion of the Brown family
in this city, and learning that most o.
them were going to put up here, he sprung
his scheme on me to get his smoking fol
a month for nothing. and as il that wasn'
enough, he has just sent me collect mes
sage reading: Done-up brown"

lem OF the pacification Of the country with
out regard 10 the action of the Assembly
which has by its undignihed conduct and
bitter sentiments of hostility to the Ameri-
cans lost the confidence OF sober minded
Cubans.
This was the statement made last night
by a member of the Assembly, who has
looked after Gomez's interests there and
possess the old chiefs confidence. IL is
confirmed by other officials who are in
touch with the Cuban general. The con-
servative element in the city express their
satisfaction that General Gomez, whose
honesty of purpose is believed, has cut
himself loose from the faction, whose sole
work appears TO be TO discuss in secret
session who shall be the first President.
1t is also declared that Gomez has decided
that the SO cot. 600 granted by the United
States shall be distributed only 10 soldiers
who actually served in the Cuban war and
were under arms before the declaration OF
war between the United States and Spain.
This will probably reduce the number of
participants to 10000 or under.

TEMPERANCE IN CANADA.
Cold Water Receives Setback
From the Premier.

Montreal, Quebec, March 1.-THE prohi-
bitionists of Canada are much upset by
the receipt of letter from Premier Lau-
rier stating that he cannot see his way
clear to grant them prohibition. Sir Will
frid says in part:
The official figures show that on the
question put to the electors 2IS,4S7 voted
yes and 264,5 voted no. We are of the
opinion that the fairest way of approaching
the question is by consideration Of the
total vote cast in favor of prohibition,
leaving aside the vote recorded against it.
The record shows that the electorate of
Canada comprised 1888, $40 voters, and of
that number less than 23 per cent, or
trif1e over one fifth. affirmed their convic-
ton in the principle of prohibition
The Premier then declines on behalf Of
the government to introduce prohibitory
measure at the next session. The decision
is of great Importance, as it means the ar
Taying of the entire prohibition rarty
against the government. This will turn the
LIQUOR interests in its favor. and one of the
large wholesale dealers says that the liquor
men are prepared to spend s2,O00.000 in
support of any party that would have the
prohibitionists as opponents. Meetings of
the temperance people will be called at
once to discuss the matter.

The unskilled labor necessary as
well as the skilled men needed will
be harder to get this year than they
were last as there is more demand
for labor now than there was then.
How many men will be worked is
not known but large force will be
kept employed.
The two locks will be finished
about the same time if the present
intentions are carried out. Number
ten will be finished outside Of the
gates by August and it will be
ready to allow the passage OF boats
by fall. Number eleven will not be
much later
These are the only ones that will
be worked on this year. The rest
will be allowed to run over on next
year.
The Golfer dam around the lock
was full of water and this had to be
pumped out before anything could
be done toward working on it This
was done under the direction Of Mr..
Mcdonald who is the only official on
the ground Mr.. Fogle will likely
be here sometime during the next
week.
Morgantown is glad to know that
the work will soon begin and that
there is to be another source added
to her revenues. The men who are
employed on the locks will spend a
great deal of money here this sum

Grafton Paper Warns People Who
Want to Criticise..

President Raymond, of the State
University, has had his salary raised
to $3, 600 per annum. This was done
by the Board of Regents at their re-
cent meeting in MorgantoWn, and the
action was taken, as claimed by d
local.paper published there
LAS an endorsement of the Presi-
dent and on account of the criticisms
that have been made of his conduct
of affairs. The regents wanted to
show that they thoroughly endorsed
his administration. 1t was proposed
by some to make it five thousand, by
others four thousand salary was urg-
ed but it was finally left as it is stat
ed above
We trust that the press OF the State
will, hereafter, be very careful in
speaking of the University and refrain
from making any suggestions as to
the conduct OF that State institution
of learning under the superior man
agement OF the gentleman from Chi
cago, lest their remarks might be tor
tured into a possible criticism OF his
transcendent and altogether ine1IaDle
superiority and thus cause the BOARD
of Regents to again raise his salary a
few more notches. There is no tell
ing where this will stop while the
Endorsement fever is raging 10 the
