M,..i.sfppi's Co1ored Pensioners.

Mfs1issfpri's COIOred PcnsfOners.
The Mississippi pension roll bears
the names of number of negroes.
When the legislature of Mississippi
passed a pension law it provided that
there should be no distinction of race
or color in the matter of pensions,
but that negroes who served as
nurses or in other capacities with
the confederate army and were
wounded while in the service should
receive pensions as well as the
whites.

patient, advanced With measured tread

patient, advanced with measured tread
along the aisle. At sight OF him, the
poor, mad creature sprang up. Then
he moved slowly backward, covering
lower and lower as the doctor APP
preached, till. crouching abjectly at
Louise's feet, he burst into a flood of
tears.
They led him away, still weeping
and humble as a little child, while the
girl sat motion1ess, with whirling
brain and dazed eyes. Incuriously she
had recognized the patrolman and
sexton as they came within her field
of vision; as in dream she had heard
the word of command from DR.. Bar
ton and seen the lunatic rise; numbly
she watched until he was led from
her sight. Then, freed from the fear
full tension of the night, weary, ex-
hausted, her head fell backward, and
she lapsed into Inconsistencies.
When, after weeks of illness. Louise
had fought her way back to health and
strength again, it was found that the
strain of those frightful hours had
hopelessly injured the delicate vocal
chords, and her beautiful voice was
silenced forever. A fearful sacrifice,
yet one that had not been in vain, for
in those few hours of singing a mir
acle had been wrought, and the dis
ordered mechanism of a brain had
found balance. The maniac, after leav-
ing the church, wept himself into a
quiet sleep, from which he awoke a
maniac no longer, but sane man,
his mental poise permanently restored
by the magic of voice.-Woman's
Home Companion.

M MILITIA For Strikers.

Mayor Van Wyck has given notice
that he will not encourage the use Of
troops to put down strikes in New
York. When national guard general
asked an appropriation for rifle

can't shoot are Of no use, the mayor
answered.: "They don't need to shoot
in this city. With our excellent police
force there Is no use for militia"
Then the animus of the militia general
came out There have been strikes"
he said. "when the services Of the
guard were called for" But Mayor
Van Wyck's reply was ready. mot

A Flower Sleeve Fad.

A very pretty flower sleeve for an
evening dress worn by smart young
woman in New York is described by
The New Idea Magazine. 1t was made
entirely of violets and was worn with
a violet Grape and velvet bodice. There
were three bands of violets sewed on
pale green tulle to keep them in place,
and hanging from the back was mar
row wreath of the same flower, which
was fastened to the wrist by bracelet
Of the blossoms. This is a fad which
can have any sort Of changes rung on
it. Any small flower, such as forget
menots or rosebuds or lilies Of the val
ley, can be used in the same way with
excellent effect.

RADICAL. ELEMENT HOPEFUL THAT UNITED
STATES WILL RECEDE

Havana March 10.-Athough the political
demoustrat tions have ended, the radical element
in the Cuban Constitutional Convention has not
given up hone that the United States will reCele
from the position taken regarding the Patt
amendment The radical press is doing every
thing in its power keep this view before the
public II attributes the action Of the United
States Congress to the influence Of the trusts,
declaring that the American people ARE in favor
of giving Cuba absolute independence and of
rebuking the action of the Administrator
Articles from American papers which seem TO
sustain the attitude of the convention are reCeiv
ing wide publicity.
Senior Gualberto Gomez says in La Patria':
Let the champions of our country's indie
pendence and sovereignty, preserve the calm,
dignifed attitude we have assumed. Do not let
energetic resolution to he free. but let us avoid
furnishing the slightest preteXt for the un-
healthy Imperialism which is corrupting the
blood of a generous people and nclining them
trample upon our rights.
Let us still have faith in the justice of our
cause and IN the honor of the country which
produced Washington. Jefferson and Lincoln.
At street corners in various public places
placards have been posted which read thus:
To the pAople of the United States:
Do not make any promises that YOU are not
sure to keep, and never go back on the word
you have given GEORGE WASHINGTON.
This is recommended the consideration of
''al worthy compatriots of the great American"
Thus far the radical members of the conven-
ton remain firm in their determination not
nc cent the Platt amendment. The Committee on
Foreign Relations will meet tomorrow. but a
final report is not expected for several days.
