Havana, Jan. 2.-The new year was
which. forming just before midnight
and preceded by band, left the lower
prado. and made the circuit of the
principal streets. Almost the only
time played was the Cuban national
hymn. Everybody seemed to be awake
and awaiting the advent of 1900. The
strains Of the popular hymn drew the
people everywhere to windows and
doorways. and the procession was
greeted with the widest enthusiasm.
Innumerable small boys kept up fire
cracker fusillade along the entire line
of march. All the prominent Cuban
generals were cheered, although there
is no doubt that the vivas were chiefly
for Cuba libre." President Mckinley
and Governor General Wood came In
for liberal share Of applause.
The procession having returned to
the prado, and the band having once
again played the Cuban national hymn,
some Americans who were present
called for the "Star Spangled Banner"
The band Immediately complied, and
the crowd cheered Justify.
While Generals Maso Rabi and Lara,
who are here to attend General Woods
council of representative Cubans, were
passing through Cienfuegos they were
escorted from the vessel to the hotel,
where banquet was rendered them.
Meanwhile large crowd Of colored
people gathered to demand y m the
authorities that the remains Of Dion
isio Gil, the colored brigadier general
IN the Cuban army who had been shot
and Killed the previous day by the po-
lice, after he had shot and wounded
two policemen, who were In the act
Of arrestlng him, should be exhumed
and buried with propar honors. The
demonstrators marched through the
town, unfurled black flag and raised
riotous cries against the authorities.
The chief Of police was fired at five \
times. General Maso and Mayor Ale
man addressed the crowd, which at
first would not dispense. Eventually,
however, the police restored order.

MCCOY DEFEATS MAHER.
A Knockout Blow in the Fifth Round
Ends the battle.

New York. Jan. 2.-"Kid" Mccoy
again placed himself in the champion
ship class by defeating Peter Maher In
brisk, well fought battle Of five
rounds before the Coney Island Ath-
letic club yesterday afternoon. The
tight was scheduled to last Is rounds,
and the purse was to have been $780,
900, but before the fight was begun the
principals agreed that the winner
should receive the gross gate receipts.
The battle was hard fought from
start to finish. but Mccoy was far the
cleverer man in ring tactics, lodging,
sidestepping and hitting powers. He
showed himself to be good ring gen.
eral, ever watching for an opening and
never falling to take advantage Of one.
Maher, although credited with being
heavy hitter. did not get in many ef-
fective blows. His foot work was
poor, and at times he did not appear
to have perfect control Of himself
The knockout blow, which came In
the fifth round, was declared by the
experts. to be the cleverest ever seen
IN a ring fight. An OF could scarcely
have withstood its force, and those
who were nearest the fighters declare
that Sullivan in his palmiest days
could not have withstood It,

A Much Abused Word.

The Chicago Tribune observes: "Writ-
ers should save the time of readers by
abandoning very and giving IN over
worked word rest for few years.
1t has earned that rest That word as
an adverb Is found less than 20 times in
the King James translation of the Bible.
The rarity Of its use makes it count for
all the more when utilized. When it is
said that the man Moses was very
meek one understands that he was meek
beyond the custom of the lsraelites of his
day. When st. James says the Lord is
very pitiful,' the very is full of sig
nifcance. But il the good and the bad
deeds. the cruel and the heroic acts re-
corded in the Bible were to be described
by most writer's Of the day there would
be very in almost every line"

A CHAMPAGNE CORK.



Ia the Bottle,
To the average lover Of champagne the
apparent climax of value is in the fizzy
fluid itself. Bottle, cork and label are
merely accessories. Yet the fact remains
that the original cost Of the wine Is rela-
lively trihing, and the most expensive
part of the whole affair, leaving out the
cost of the expert labor expended in
"ripening" the vintage, is the despised
and swollen cork. The cork stands for
more than the first cost Of the wine plus
the value of the bottle. wire. label aud
wrappings. The cork costs rs cents. All
the rest only foots up fraction under
IS cents.
The champagne cork is the finest bark
that is grown. The texture must be flaw
less or the life Of the wine will be lost.
Then its peculiar shape requires that 1t
shall be fashioned by hand. No machine
has yet been invented that will satisfy
the champagne cork connoisseur as well
as the deft work of nimble fingers. This
expenditure Of skill and time combines
with equality to make these particular
bottle shoppers cheap at quarter apiece.
The young wine, on the contrary, when
1t goes into the bottle is cheap-16 cents
quart The value and the flavor come
with age. Countless times the bottles
must be TUNED carefully and gently be-
fore the juice Of the grape is fit to tickle
the palate of an epicure.
There is a wonderful city in France,
the subterranean city of Epernay, into
whose silent streets no ray Of sunshine
ever steals, where the wine is stored to
ripen, guarded as jealousy us IL It were
gold and handled as tendery as II it
were human. Miles and miles Of streets
are hewn out of the chalky soil and
cemented with millions and millions OF
champagne bottles OF all blends and vint-
ages left there to ripen. When the bot
ties went into these underground clois-
tiers, the cork was king by virtue Of its
cost. When they return to the world of
light and life, the cork has become insig-
niiicant in comparison with the wine.
Warehouses frequently pay good prices
for corks bearing their mark, thus en-
abling themselves to gauge accurately
the esteem in which various vintages are
held by the public.
Champagne corks, too, have a special
value in the toilet. Their fine texture
makes them peculiarly available in treat
ing the skin with powders or similar ap-
plications. and the Partisan or Fiennese
belle whose toilet set does not contain
an assortment of champagne corks is
rare. The finest and most perfect speci-
mems only are used for this purpose. and
they retail readily at the equivalent of SO
cents each.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
