CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO
BE HELD IN SEPTEMBER.

HAVANA, JUNE 11.-Of late Governor
eneral Wood has had many callers among
them lawyers, bankers, merchants and
even two members of the foreign cabinet
who have taken the position that the
United States government is going ahead
too fast in the direction of granting in
to Cuba. Those who take this
view assign as the reason for their de-
cision not to join in the coming elections.
They point out that there is not a single
candidate in the island who is not pro-
fessional politician, and they argue TO
urn Cuba over to men of this class
would mean absolute ruin. These state
ments were the result of an interview
with General Wood, published by the
Discussion" in which he was reported
as saying that, in all probability a con-
stitutional convention in September next
consisting of all the mayors, etc, would
be held. Business circles were thoroughly
alarmed at this announcement, although
there is no doubt that great majority OF
the people received it with favor.
Colonel Carlos c. s. Espedies, discuss
ing matter today, said:
THE interview with Senior Coronado
editor of the Discussion), secured with
and eagerly picked up from the streets
General Wood, has made an admirable
impression. General Woods promised
that as the election would take place in
June and he is about to keep his proom'
Use. Now, according to the interview, he
says that a national convention Will prob

SAN JUAN, PORTO RICO, June II.
Five hundred inmater of the peni-
tentiary mutined here today, refusing
to take breakfast or work. They as
serted that the food was not fit to eat
and the leader struck the jailor in
the face.
The penitentiary is guarded by a
detachment Of twenty members of the
Porto. Rican regiment and the Jail au-
thorities, fearing the convicts had
planned a concocted movement to
break Jail, they called in the guard,
thereupon the prisoners attempted to
rush the troops who fired three vol
leys against the wall in the air. Three
Of the inmates were injured by splint-
ers but not seriously.
The military authorities then called
out a company of regulars. This as
sistance was not asked for by the civ
il authorities and the native company
had quelled the disturbance before the
regulars arrived.

Oak shutters In Riot Times.

IT reckon there are enough policemen
In New York to squelch any riot that you
might have" said a western man who
had been studying Broadway, "for ]
don't see any old time shutters on the
windows of the stores. In MY town, as
we'll as many others in the west, during
the civil war, where we had no police,
the old fashioned shutters were all the
protection the business mon had against
jayhawkers and bushwhackers. The shut
tiers were made Of oak and were screwed
in front Of the windows at night and taxi
en- down in the morning. When the jay
hawkers and bushwhackers came yelling
down the street, our merchants rushed
out and put up the shutters, if they had
time.
"The enemy knew better than to try to
batter the shutters shoot through
them, for they couldn't do it. When the
merchants put up the shutters in such an
attack, they locked the door and fled to
the cellars and staid there until the dis
turbance was over. Cellars were as safe
from jayhawkers and bushwhackers as
they are from cyclones. Cellars and oak
shutters are great protection. But I
haven't seen an oak shutter in New
York. New York Sun.

TELLTAlE CHAIRS.
Their Significance In Accordance
with Their Relative Positions

Their Significance In Accordance
With Their Relative Positions.
"Chairs are great pantomme perform
ers," said one of group in the hotel lob
by, the conversation having drifted to
nothing in particular. Il mean," he ex-
planned, that they have wonderful pow
ers of expression.
Look at those two facing each other
in the corner. The one nearest us, II you
will notice, stands perfectly straight and
stiff, while the other is twisted around
tritle to the right, and we know by that
token as plainly as if we had witnessed
it that they were lately occupied by
bore and his victim. The bore squared
himself in front of the poor fellow and
proceeded to tell the story of his life.
The victim writhed and squirmed, and
when he finally escaped the record of his
travail was written legibly in the furni-
ture. Now, that pair of chairs by the
desk tell quite n different tale, and one
could almost say that they were engaged
in pleasant conversation at this very mo-
ment. Observe the confidential angle Of
the arms. l have often encountered
chairs arranged like that, only more so,
on the piazza of summer hotels early In
the morning after n moonlight night.
They fairly reeked with romance. 1t
would be impossible, by the way, to place
chairs in such n position deliberately.
You couldn't do it to save your neck.
The effect depends upon very subtle
combination of lines impaired uncon-
sciously by the occupants.
ibid you ever go into room where a
| poker party had been playing a stiff
| game all night and notice the way the
| chairs stood about the tables? In nine
cases out of ten they tell the story of the

shortly afterward l was struck at once
by tie arrangement of the chairs. They

A PAST MASTER IN PouTENEss.
An Example Set ana Some Amuse~
ment Created by His Advent.

Some men are born polite; some achieve
politeness. Whether any ever have po-
likeness thrust upon them is an open
question for the debating societies. To
the second class-those who achieve po-
liteness-must be assigned young man
who has lately appeared on the social
horizon of st. Paula young man OF lin
tied intellectual capacity, but paragon
Of politeness, at least in his own estima-
ton. He makes a living, and apparently
a good living, by selling pocket diction-
airy. To his credit, be it said, he has
80 diligently studied said dictionary as to
have mastered every line Of ats varied
contents, so that he knows exactly what
he is talking about when he offers 1t for
sale. Said contents include, among other
things, q set Of "rules for department"
1t is through his minute study of these
that the gentleman has achieved the rank,
IL there be such, of past master in polite
ness.
A few evenings since he was at social
gathering where to most Of the company
he was stranger. A kind friend essayed
to introduce him. Presenting him to Miss
Smith us my friend, Mr.. x" she
was amazed to hear him say to the lady,
81 am happy to meet you or the equiva-
lent" Introducing him to Miss Jones,
his greeting was the same, 81 am happy
to meet you or the equivalent" Announc-
ing Miss Robinson, the wonder deepened.
as to her also he said, 81 am happy to
meet you or the equivalent"
By this time the whole company was
in a titter-wonder ms to what Mr.. x
meant being no small ingredient in the
general amusement. Finally person
present had a thought which impelled
him to consult the pocket dictionary"
a copy of which was at hand. There, in
the "Rules For Department" was found
a direction to this effect, when you are
introduced to a person, you should say,
4 am happy to meet you,' or the equiva-
lent" The secret was out. The paragon
of politeness had deemed the last three
words Of the quoted phrase n necessary
part of the prescribed greeting and had
followed the rule"
DESTROYS of saving the young man from
modification through n repetition of his
error, a friend took him aside and en-
deavored to show him that the three
words which had provoked SO much fun
at his expense should be 'left off, his
greeting. But " would not admit this.
He Indignantly pointed to the phrase as
1t was printed in that infallible dictiou-
airy and insisted that he was right. And
at last accounts he was still saying to
every person whose acquaintance he
made. II am happy to meet you or the
equivalent. Paul Pioneer-Press.

SONNET.

The heeting hours Of time flow swiftly on.
Ev'n as the current OF yon running stream,
Which now goes babblng softly mid the CLEAN
OF silver pebbles, soon to rush anon,
In ever growing fury, its way.
Uprooting trees and bearing from our Sight
The old landmarks far out into the night
OF the dim past. And we the meanwhile say
Beside it, gazing with reverted eyes
On Joys departed or else forward strain,
Seeking the unknown future to explore,
Needless that God. behind and before.
Has drawn a screen through which we gaze In
vain.
Who fills each hour with good alone Is wise.

ON THE MARCH.

Down the canyon Of the street,
Hear the muffied marching feeti
Hear the thousand throated hum
As the soldiers nearer comet
Eagerly the people crowd,
Family now, and now more loud,
While we listen, brCathless, dumb,
Comes the droning of the drum.
Marching down The western light,
Bursts the column on our sight!
Through the myriad golden notes
Splendidly our banner floats!
Then the sudden swelling cheer,
Voicing all we hold most dear,
Wondrous, yelling wave OF sound
Till the whirring drum is drowned
Now the marching men have passed.
We have watched them to the last
Till the column disappears
In mist OF sudden tears.
Loves and hates before unguessed
Trcmble in the troubled breast,
Loves and hates and hopes and fears
Waking from the sleep of years.

Washington, Oct There are some
curious doings just now with regard
to armor plate. The opponents of n

the advocates of that scheme by which
the power of establishing such a plant
was vested in the Secretary OF the
Navy, provided the armor plate cor
porations would not do the work cheap.

We're excessive, and 1t was understood
that new bids would be made. Today
