Make Them Pay for Oppre-.ion.


Rumor has it that strong lobby will
represent the holders of S450.000. 600
Spanish-Cuban bonds when the new
constitution for Cuba comes before
Congress The idea is to have Con
gress take some action toward compell-
ing Cuba to assume payment of that
enormous obligation contracted by
Spain in the effort to put down the
Cuban revolution. Spain alone Is re-
sponsible for the payment of those
bonds; Spain alone used the proceeds
of their sale TO support its tyrannical
rule in Cuba. If any lobby appears
in Washington to urge an unjust claim
against Cuba it should be invited TO
transfer itself 10 Madrid and convince
the Spanish government it WAS wrong
when it repudiated the debt.-Pitts-

CHASED THE SUPER.
Rhe Exciting Race Between Kean
and the Stage Hand.

The Exciting Race Between kean
and the Stage Hand.
Some strange tales have been told by
old timers IN the stage business about
the Keans, both the elder and the last
to be seen on the American stage.
Some have said that hard study made
them little wrong at times, and some
OF the things they did certainly looked
queer.
It is told by an old New Orleans
horseman, who is here from the Cres-
cent City, that when Kean the youn-
ger was playing there he nearly scared
a super to death and came near pink
ing" him.
It was in Richard ILL.," in the scene
where he sees the ghosts. The stage
manager was a bit the worse for drink
and determined to have some fun. He
did not like Kean, as he was hard
man behind the scenes. Among the
supers was q raw Irish lad who had
never seen a stage before. The man
ager told this fellow that if he would
run across the stage when he gave him
the tip he would stand to earn 50. The
poor fellow was broke, and 8 two spot
looked to him like national bank.
He agreed, and the stage manager gave
him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words, Smoke General Jackson
Cigars"
It was nearly a panic that this Irish
lad started. He ran across the stage,
and when Kean saw him he was furi-
Gus. He made lunge at the unfor-
tunate super with his sword, and, as
the rag came whizzi1g down to a
hurry call, be chased the poor standard
bearer of the stage. down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks he
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down a
dark alley.
What effect it had upon the show the
turfman does not say, but certainly it
vas only the super's agility Of foot that
saved him.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A Moccaain's Appetite and Lack OF
Sense Led to His Death.

A party of Jacksonville mechanics
were at work on the A1atanzas river
raising a sunken dredgeboat. They
lived on board of the big lighter on
which they worked in a small house
on the deck. One noon their bill of
fare was somewhat strengthened by
some wild turkey eggs which had been
found by some of the party while hunt
ing on shore. After the hungry en-
gineers had destroyed heavy dinner
they left their dining room and return
ed to work. The doors and windows
were all open, and tie cook Cid not
clear off the table for some time.
In this interval a large water moe
casin Of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with a snakes
fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by q plate, and the rest were in
a dish on the other side Of the table.
In the center stood large water jug,
and right here the willy serpent slipped
up. After swallowing the lonesome
egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless manner crawled
through the handle Of the jug. 1t was
a rather tight fit, and he had to stop
about half way through on account OF
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, be bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward.
practically riveted in position. He was
soon found il this, peculiar situation
by the cook, who speedily killed him.
The reporter was shown the skin OF
the snake with crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressure,
and he was also permitted to gaze On
the jug whose handle proved so fatal.

HIS DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
A Pompous Reception That Amused
President Grevy.


II. Severiaro de Heredia, the minis
ter of public works in the Rouvier cabi-
net during the presidency Of NJ. Grevy,
belonged to the famous naturalized Gu
ban family, Of which another member,
the Comte de Heredia, is one Of the I'M
mortal 40 of the French academy. Most
of the family have dark spins, suspl-
ciously mulatto, and other negro char
acteristics. This has, however, in no.
wise interfered with their standing IN
Paris, where several of the family have
long been prominent. The former min
lister had also been president of the
municipal council Of Paris and depu-
ty from Paris reimbursement.
His dark skin led to curious mis-
take at the Elysee the day after he had
been appointed q member of the Rou-
vier cabinet. According to immemorial
custom the new ministers called singiy
on President Grevy to pay their re-
spects. On the same day, as it hap
pened, an Official visit was expected
from the president Of the republic Of
Haiti. who was to present his letters to
the president. When N. de Heredia
arrived in the court Of the palace, the
minor officials stationed there, who
were not familiar with the new minis
ter's features, judged from his COM
plexion that he was the Haitian digni-
tary. The courtyard became very AMI
mated with guards hurrying to and fro
TO their places, while one Of the officers
of the presidents military household
went to inform NJ Grevy Of the dis
tinguished visitors arrival.
n. de Heredia received all this with
dignifed composure, for, never having
been a minister before this, he thought
this ceremonial was probably the usual
one. Finally, with the beating OF
drums, he was ushered into the recep-
ton room, where the chief executive
stood ready to receive him. What"
cried he "it's only you, Heredia!"
ssWhy, yes, NJ. le President" replied
the puzzled minister. Grevy began to
laugh. well" he cried, you have
been minister only 24 hours and have
succeeded in turning my house upside
down. What will you do later on:"-
