MO1ineux's Little Joke.

Sing Sing, N. Y, Feb. 19.-Roland B.
Molineux received no visits yesterday
from any of his family to break the
monotOny of his first Sunday in Sing
Sing prison. When Principal Keeper
Connaughton, however, went to his
cell last night before the guards were
changed, Molineux surprised him by
the air of contentment he showed.
Molineux finds consolation in his
studies and he has always been fond of
mathematics. To his keeper, who ask
ed him why he took up the study of
arithmetic, he said: 81 am trying to
figure myself out of my trouble"

here last night, and numerous confer

Republican branches of the legislature

leaders say Senator Carter will pre-

Saturday night, stated positively that
he would return Monday and insist ON
his right to preside, and the Republi-

will preside. Neither side goes far

ing resolutions in both houses ratify-
ing the action taken by the Demo-

claring Goebel governor was favorably
discussed by some of the Democratic
members last night. They say this
would not be a concession that the
former proceedings were illegal, but
would probably put an end to the con-
troversy sooner. The matter has not
been decided on officially. but ma
jority of the members are opposed tore
opening the matter in any form. They
will abide by the decision of the party

Cubaa Labor Famine,

Havana, Feb. 19--The Cubano, dis
cussing the labor question, says: at
is too late now for the purposes of the
present crop to supply the labor de-
ficiency by seeking workmen in Eu-
rope. Porto Rico, however, might do
something to remedy the difficulty.
Many Porto Ricans recently returned
to their homes from Cuba. If there
had been an employment bureau here
these people could have been sent to
various points in the island where
more labor is needed"

Caxaca, Mex, Feb. 10. - General
Braves force of government troops has
driven back the Maya Indians and
taken possession of several important
towns that were occupied by the rebels
during the week. The country occu-
pied by the Mayas is little known to
the outside world. All this vast ter.
ritory which is now being reconguered
contains fabulous wealth and an ex-
uberant fertility of soil, which can
raise everything in the way of agri-
culture. Its forests are extensive and
have all the valuable woods.

CURIOUS CHILDISH PRACTICE.
Little Girls Sure Method of Knowing
Her Mate.


Little Girls Sure Method of Knowing
Her Mate.
There was a little girl on the street
cars who was acting very queerly.
That is, certain grown-ups" who have
forgotten the ways of little girls
seemed to think so, says the Kansas
City Journal. She was sitting very
quietly beside her mother, but her
bright eyes were watching the streets
closely for something. Every now and
then they would sparkle and she made
a queer little gesture. She touched the
end Of her second finger to her tongue
and doubling up her fist struck it into
the palm Of her other hand. Ninety
hve," she said under her breath.
"Ninety-six, ninety-seven." Each time
making the gesture. What could the
child be doing? Just where little girls
learn some things is a question. Prob
ably from their grown-up sisters or
other little girls grOwn-up sisters.
However it may be there is a way
whereby little girls can tell who
their future husbands are going to be.
They get together and agree to count
white horses until they get 100. Then
they must see three white mules and
after that the first young man who
meets them is the fated one. Just how
the meeting takes place is a matter Of
previous arrangement among the lit
tie girls. 1t may be the first one who
shakes hands with them or who opens
the door for them OF who gives them
something. Then, of course, there is
the contest Of seeing who will get the
100 horses frst-to say nothing Of the
mules. That was what made the lit
tie girls eyes sparkle. only three
more. Just think, mamma. Then the
mules. I'm beating the other girls all
to pieces"

A New Woman, This.

A remarkable woman died in Lon
don a few days ago.. Because of her
death all Of the conductors on the
South London tramway lines wore
mourning as a mark of reverence, for
she was a practical leader of laborers.
Her name was Miss Penman and she
was the superintendent Of the South
London tramway system. She was the
only woman who had ever held such
a position. Miss Penman once held a
position on the Glasgow tramways.
Her ability in a sphere hitherto sup-
posed to belong exclusively to men at
tracted attention in the United King
dom, and several years ago she accept
ed the position Of superintendent on
the South London system. A few
months ago that line, with others,
went under municipal ownership. The
London County Council took over"
all Of the southern lines to be hence
forth run by the people for the people,
and many changes in management and
working forces were made. Miss PEN
man, however, was continued in office.

An Endless Chain.

From the Memphis Scimitar: Some
weeks ago a gentleman left a small
package at the home of a young
lady upon whom he was max
ing his first call. She wrote him a
note telling him he had left it. He
wrote her one telling her 1t was some
edibles, and that she might appropriate
It to her own use. She wrote again to
express her appreciation. He replied
to express his appreciation of her ap-
probation. She retaliated with an ex-
preston Of her appreciation Of his ap-
probation of her appreciation. AT
the present time the expression Of ap-
probation is going forward in arith-
metical progression as the letters null
tiply, and as they contain some
thing a little more serious in
its nature there promises to be
some very interesting complications
resulting from a correspondence, pre-
sumably for the expression Of appre-
citation.

A Dutohman's Faith In the Success of
the TransvaaL


A Dutohman's Faith In the Success Of
the TransvaaL
Let me here tell you two anecdotes
showing the spirit of the Dutch, says
the London Post. One comes from
Newcastle where the Dutch reformed
church is too small for the congrega-
ton. At the beginning Of the year
subscriptions were collected for a new
church, and some $500 was raised,
principally from Englishmen. An
architect was employed, tenders were
invited and a contractor was selected.
Suddenly the contract was suspended.
There was a town hall in Newcastle,
built in commemoration of the dia-
mond jubilee, and one of the elders
announced that after the war the
town hall would be the Dutch re-
formed church. You cannot persuade
a Dutchman that the Transyaal will
be beaten. An old man, also in New
castle, WAS being warned Of the might
of England. He was told that 10000
troops would be sent out. I'VE will
shoot them all" he said. He was told
that England would continue to send
10000 after 10000 for twelve years II
need were. "Allemaghte," he replied,
"am l to go on shooting Englishmen
for twelve years?" That is the spirit,
and, as I have already observed, the
spirit is in1amed by the women, who
are infinitely more bitter than the
men. Olive Schreiner may talk about
the fusion Of races. No matter the
race Of nan she marries, a Dutch
woman always brings forth Dutch
children,
