Tie Cashiers Mistake.

"Um! Yes! Singular!" he said,
as he stood at the cashiers desk in
the restaurant and and felt in his
pockets.
"Been robbed, I suppose?' sneered
the cashier.
"Perhaps. Let's see. Did I
change my pantaloons?'
20, of course"
Il guess I did, and left all my
money in the other pair"
"Say, that's too old to go down
here, miste,! I want 60 cents"
"Yes-yes; but you see"
II see dead beat; but who'll get
a good kicking if he doesn't hand
over the cash."
"Mercy! but you don't take me
for dead beat, I hope!!"
"Sixty cents!"
But I've left my money"
"Sixty cents, or you get the
bounc.'
"I'il go out and borrow it.
80 nc! Hand it over or the kicker
will take charge of you.
Lets see Did I change my
clothes? Yes, I did. But
NO butts about it. I want GO
cents..'
But I must have slipped some
money in my hind pocket. Ab, so I
did, and here it is"
And he fshed up a great wad,
tossed the cashier 6fty-dollar bill,
and while waiting for his change
shook hands with two bankers and
drew his check for $1,000 to settle
re IL estate transaction.
The cashier is still in bed, and the
doctor says it is very serious case.

Sailors Of the Maine.
Bodies of Isl Victims Taken to
Arlipgton-The Burial Today.

Arlington-The Burial Today.
Washington, Dec. 27.-The re-.
mains Of Isl sailors, killed at the
time the Maine was destroyed, ar
rived here this morning over the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in a
special train of six cars. They were
escorted by a guard Of honor COM
posed of II men from the battleship
Texas, including among them one OF
the members of the original Maine
crew, Terry Shea. The remains
were conveyed to Rosslin, Va, cp-
posite the District line, aud there
were transferred to wagons belong
ing to the quartermaster's depart
ment, which removed them to the
burial site in Arlington cemetery.
The caskets have been placed in
open hospital tents, and the guard
of honor will be maintained over
them until they are buried tomorrow.
The exercises will be as simple as
possible. The president and tie
members of the cabinet and num-
Der of naval officers are expected to
attend the funeral ceremonies.
The navy department today order
ed a sufficient number of wreaths
made of galax leaves to enable ore
to be placed upon each casket.
FEW CAN BE IDENTIFIED.
Tho body of Frederic G. Holzer,
on ordinary seaman, is the only one
which will not be buried at Arling-
ton cemetery tomorrow. The body
of Ho!zer has been shipped to New
York, where it will be received by
his relatives. About 80 requests
we're received by the navy depart
ment for the bodies of the victims
of the Maine disaster, but in only
ten of these cases had the bodies
been identified. The other 20 we're
either in the list of unidentified dead
or among the bodies not recovered.
Owing to the confusion in which the
graves were found when the dead
were disinterred at Habana the de-
partment has reluctantly decided not
to extend to the relatives and friends
of the other nine positively identified
bodies the privilege Of burying the
remains at home.
OF the Isl bodies which are to be
buried at Arlington tomorrow, 63
were identified at the time of their
interme Mt in Colon cemetery. Ninty.
seven of the bodies to be inferred
tomorrow were never identified.

COST OF ADMIRALTY

AS the days lergthen the death list

Americans are sick and dying there
now than six months ago. The fans
ports come back laden with the dead.
Instead of argosies freighted with
commerce, that tie to the dock and
hail the busting stevedo1es, the
hearse ships make fast and the hun
dreds of csff!ned dead are lifted f-om
the hold and hauled in a long pro-
cession to the Presitio, whence they
are sent afar by trains and steamers
to their ewn for serulture.
1t is for them the end. IS it for the
country the beginning? Is the rain
bow of oriental trade, arrayed in all
its primary colors, worth ali the mis-
cry that lies silent in the thousands
Of collins that have traversed fourteeB
thousand miles Of sea to bring home
the dead? Is that dream Of greed
worth the vacant-eyed stare of the
maniacs that come back with the
dead?
A thousand pairs Of handouts have
gone to Mania to manacle the luna
tics whose brains have been broiled
of their wits by vertical sun. The
hearse ships give up their dead and
take on their return cargo of coflns
and handouts, for every day the tally
of the dead and mad grows longer
