fident of the wisdom of it's policy, and the
secretary of state for India, Lord George
Hamilton, had promised to assist should a
temporary check occur. While giving rupees
for gold the government would accept no
obligation to exchange gold for rupees.

that for a minute, but I'd like to bet that
there's one kind of sandwich that you could

dinner; and If there was plenty of hard
bread you helped yourself from an open

Then the cook gave you your slice OF pork,
you held out your crackers and he laid it

A CLUB FOR POOR MEN.
Novel Organization to Re Started An
New York.
New York Tribune.

Nearly $50 applications for membership
have been received by the promoters Of a
club which will In many ways be as novel
as IL will be helpful and profitable for the
class OF people which IL is intended to bene-
fit. The membership Of this club which Is
to have a home In the house formerly occu-
Fulton street, is to be composed exclusive
ly of men who are earning their living in
the mercantile business, either as clerks,
statesmen or accountants, and who are
obliged to live on comparatively small
income.
j. Stuart Dotten, who was on the stan
of Arson Burlingame when the latter
was minister to China, is one Of the chief
originators and is the secretary of the new
organization. which is TO be known as the
sanzers to provde foT the ca of
moderate means In mercantile pursuits all
of the comforts of a first-class club from
which they may be debarred on account
Of the heavy dues.
To bee me a member of the club all that
Is necessary is to subscribe for one OF the
five hundred shares OF stock. The dues are
TO be only 81 a month. Although the idea
Is comparatively unknown as yet. Mr.. Dot
ten has met with great success in the en-
terprise. and has secured membership OF
$50 desirable young men. The money al
ready received is TO be used at once to Mt up
the clubhouse, which is TO be opened with
In q week or so.
The upper floor of the house will be
lastly fitted up as living rooms. There
are twelve rooms available for such pur-
poses. and IL is expected that they will &C
commodate about twenty members These
rooms will be rented at reasonable rates,
and young man can secure his room, and
board as we'll for s. week
The dining room is to be one Of the prin-
cpal features OF the new club. IL Is ex-
pected that meals OF a good quality can be
served at % cents each. Any one who de-
sires TO take all his meals at the house
can do so for $50 a week. or he may have
dinners alone for seven days for 81 80 Any
of the members may entertain his friends
there at the same rates.
Another feature of the club. though one
that has not been finally evolved. Is the es-
tablishment OF a country home at some OF
the nearby shore resorts, where the men,
bers may spend the summer and still be
within reach of their business.

HAVANA, Sept. THE Heraldo to-day
says the interview between Gen. Maxine
Gomez and Gen Quintin Bandera. which
took place yesterday, and in which General
Gomez recommended policy Of union and
concord, has created a profound impression
among the Cuban politicians and will have
a unifying effect on the rival insurgent fac
lions.
The Havana secret police have surprised
and captured a gang OF counterfeiters of
American silver money.
At a joint. meeting of special committees
representing the Cuban National party and
the Cuban National League held in Havana
to-day IL was agreed to settle the differ
ences between the two organizations. 1t Is
rumored that the real cause or amalgama-
ton Is the formation OF a new party IN the

probable formation Of a party led by Quail
