A Bluff All Around.


at was done so nicely that 1 couldn' t
get mad" explained the drummer who
was spending a few days home. While
1 was out on my last trip ] arrived one
day at a town where some sort of a cele-
lration was being held, and when l tried
to get a room at the only hotel in town
the clerk said he was sorry, but every
room in the house was engaged.
Now, at one time | was a teleSrap h
operator, and when / am waiting tor
trains l amuse myself by reading the
messages going over the wires 1t sud
denly struck me that while at a railway
station down the line l had read a mes
sage asking the clerk at the hotel where
the celebration was being held to reserve
a room. 1t was signed by a man by the
name of Brown. and it occurred to me
that il was a good chance to run a bluff.
Didn't you get my telegram said L.
Brown my name.
oh, beg pardon. Mr. Brown eN-
claimed the clerk. we nave a room re-
served for you, all right.
We'll. the joke was too good to keep
and when / ran across couple OF dis
consulate drummers who had been unable
to get rooms and were bewailing the fact
that they would have to camp in the Of
fee chairs for the night. told them how
had succeeded in getting room.
There was a quiet little man sitting
near, who took it all in. and when l ar
rived at the point where the laugh came
in he said, with smile, that ne was
sorry to disappoint me. but his name was
Brown and he would trouble me for his
room.
Il wilted right then and there and in
vited every one to have something at
nv expense. and the quiet little man had
the nerve to include himself in the invi-
tation.
We'll along about midnight. when
was trying to get to sleep doubled up IN
an office arm chair. ] heard someone
with the night clerk.
- i tell you my name Is Brown roared
the voice. L telegraphed you down the
line to hold a room me-
THAT nut me wide awake at once, and
what | learned made me boil. That mis-
cradle little cuss that L had given INV
room up to was not Brown at an. he
had called my bluff by running bigger
one himself.
And he had the gall the next morning
to ask me how 1 had slept.

A Hundred Year club has been or

conditions which promote longevity.
After much study and research, its
members must arrive at the conclusion
that the only possible way to attain
long life is TO take the best care of
health. With all due respect, We pre-
sent the study of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters for consideration. This is a
tonic for one of the most vital organs
of life-the stomach. For fifty years it
has cured constipation, indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness, weak liver and
kidneys It makes strong stomachs,
rich red blood and steady. vigorous
nerves. If you accept a substitute,
don't expect it to cure like Hostetter's
Bitters. See that a private revenue

TEXT OF PAPAL
BULL ORDERING A
YEAR OF JUBILEE
Revival Of the Holy Year Insti=
tuted Since Ancient
Time.

those who at every hour run the danger
of losing the heavenly portion offered 70
them. This is the aim of the Holy Year,
as the tender mother church will try dur
ing this period TO discipline souls, 70 teach
them expiation through penitence.
With this principle she will multiply her
prayers to the calm outraged majesty OF
heaven TO obtain abundance of heavenly
gifts In opening treasures of indulgences
whereof it is the dispenser, the church IN
vites the whole Of christendom TO the
hope OF pardon
Why ought We not to hope for good re-
suits if the people prepare themselves
spontaneously TO honor Christ by cele-
brating the end of the century?
We cannot propose anything holier or
more salutary for men. or more Of what
men ought TO desire. aspire TO and hope
for. than TO ask from Jesus throughout
this holy year for that salvation found
in his resurrection, in abandoning which
men go TO perdition.
Alas! Many men refuse with contempt
this saving mercy. We have seen in these
latter times a renewal of the Arian
heresy regarding the divinity of Jesus.
But have courage and let US TO our
work Let all Christians contribute TO
these proposals by examples of piety,
joining in teaching to people what is ne
cessary, detesting every form Of impiety
against the divine majesty of Jesus.
Raising our eyes TO God, with his help
and with the appreciation of the cardinals,
We order a universal jubilee, to commence
in this sacred city OF Rome with the first
yeSperS of Christmas, 1893, and to cease
on the same day in 1900.
During the jubilee year we concede full
Indulgence and pardon of sins TO all
Christians truly Eepentant who confess
their sins and partake of communion, and
who Will visit the Basiicas of St.
Peters. St. Paups, St. Johns or that of
Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome, at least
once a day during twenty days, il having
domicile in Rome, or for pilgrims, dur
ing ten days. All ought 10 pray for the
exaltatiOn OF the church. for the extirpa-
ton OF hereSieS, for a concord OF CathO-
lie princes, and for the salvation of Chris
tian peoples.
Those who through sickness or other
legitimate causes cannot visit the Roman
Basilieas, If they confess and cOmmuni-
cate. may also benefit in the indulgence.
To Rome we invite you, with love, sons
of church, throughout the world.
At the same time good Catholics ought,
during this period, 10 renounce all spec
tacles of a profane character.
Divine Rome will inspire you. Jesus has
chosen Rome as the center OF the highest
action. Here is his empire Here under
his will is the immovable seat of his vicar
on earth. Here is guarded the truth.
From here spreads light 10 all the world.
Whose removes himself from Rome re-
moves himself from Jesus.
Religious monuments. majestic temples.
the tombs OF the apostles, the catacomb
OF the martyrs, all add TO the sanctity of
Rome.

ARE CUBANS
PLOTTING An
INSURRECTlON?
Gomez and His Military staff
Likely to Make Trouble
for Uncle Sam.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. May 15.-The Herald's s
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Though no official reports
have been received from Major General
Rrnoke foreshadowing trouble with the
Cubans there is reason to believe that
the authorities are not altogether salts
fed with the situation in the island.
An official with whom 1 talked to-day
explained that the danger lay in the
politicians surrounding Gomez. Gen
eraI Gomez has a staff of $50 officers
whom he must either support or provide
office for. and it was with a view to
making the latter provision that he re-
Gently wrote a letter to the President
urging him TO permit the organization
Of an army OF 15,e00 Cubans to preserve
peace and order in the island That
permission was distinctly and en-
phaJically refused by the President.
The administration does not propose
10 permit the Cubans to maintain their
army organization much longer. If the
disbandment desired does not occur
Immediately after payment is made TO
the men measures will be taken TO scat
ter the Cubans and take their weapons
from them. In this connection consid-
erable surprise is manifested at the
ammunition which has been collected
by Cubans and seized by United States
officials It is regarded in some quar-
ters as an indication Of preparation be-
ing made by CubanS for an inSurreCtiOn
against the United States in case all
their wishes are not complied with.
Some apprehension is expressed in
official circles that the $1,000 600 which
VIII be distributed among the Cubans
viii be used by them in fighting the
United States. Even supposing, how
ever, that the men decline to surrender
the money received from this Govern
ment for the purpose of purchasing
arms and ammunition, one Of the Off
cials said that he feared. after the men
had spent their allotment, they would
resort TO brigandage and finally form
into bands, which they would term
armies.
II is apparent to officials from all they
have learned that the United States will
have TO display a strong hand in the
administration OF Cuban affairs. Major
P. II. Ray. who has just returned from
ManzanillO has explained TO the Off
cials the necessity Of dealing firmly
with the Cubans, and he speaks of the
necessity he was under of shooting
several Cubans who were found robbing
plantations, before the remainder would
understand that the Americans were
not to be trified with.
While General Brooke has been in
structed 10 be as conciliatory as pOssi-
Bile and endeavor TO preserve peace by
peaceful argument, the President is de-
termined that the Cuban army shall
disband. and should it fail 70 do so after
payment is made, he then considers
that he viii have full authority by law
10 use force in accomplishing the paciff-
cation of the island.
