elected President of the Cuban repub-

not in fact, and after his election
served in the field during the ten years
war in which 100000 Spaniards fell.
His estates were confscated and he

He was for several years a prominent

postmaster general. In 1888 he came
to the United States, established a

Strange Behavior.

A mirtll- provoking scene once took
place in the palace of a former Duke
of Hamilton.
The Duke had invited one Of his
neighbors, a plain-spoken laird, to stop
at the palace for luncheon after the
conclusion of business transaction.
The laird was not used to the luxuries
of life, and watched with an impatient
eye the fittings about of liveried ser

How London Could Be Defended

If the Dutch ever sail up the Thames
again, or Norman force land, London
will not be unprepared. In the archives
of Pail Mall repose musty schemes for
the defense of the metropolis which it
was thought would be undisturbed I'M
til the War Department commenced to
move into it's new palace. But there
are busy men about and as result
new schemes will be forthcoming for
the defense of London. Something
like sixty batteries of artillery will be
allotted for the defense, including guns
of heavy caliber, Al and 6 inches,
which will be mounted in commanding
positions, covering a wide, sweeping
arc. The mobile force for defense will
include nearly 100 15pounder field
guns, and an army corps of three di-
visions of regular infantry and 100000
volunteers.-London Express.

Within a few months thirty-ive wO-
men have been brutally butchered by
men in this country. In each case the
slayer protested to be in love with the
slain and killed her because the feeling
was not reciprocated. In some cases
the girl had made known to her parents
that threats had been made against
her life and the man had been bound
over to keep the peace. But his bond
was no restraint and he killed her. This
erotic insanity is the most dangerous
form of homicidal mania. It Is treated
lightly by the law Or not at all. 1t
generally appears in persons of evil
temper and uncontrolled passions, who
are not desirable company for any self
common, and in default of legal pro-
lection should be dealt with sternly by
the male protectors Of women. When
these erotics are arrested for making
threats their offense is treated all too
lightly. Often the matter Is regarded
as a joke. Any man who forces his

such cases the unreciprocated infatue
ton ends in murder Women are en-
titled to the most complete protection
against such brutes. The San Fran
cisco Call thinks that if the law will
not furnish it there is no other way
than to kill the man who wooes a wo-
man by threat Of murder. If she have
a male protector he should save her
life, for she is doomed unless he act.
If woman yield to the threats of such
a man and marry him to save her life
she makes for herself a lifetime of
misery, for such men are perverts, de-
generates or psychopaths unfit for the
conjugal association. We do not wish
to be misunderstood in these comments.
We only say that it is the duty Of a
father to save the life of his daughter,
or of brother to save his sister. If he
arrive OH the scene when such an erotic
beast is executing his threat it is his
duty to kill the wretch, and the law
holds him blameless. In view of the
fact that such threats to kill are in
variably carried out, why is it not the
duty Of a father or brother to act in
advance Of the opportunity which the
erotic assassin is seeking.

A few weeks ago some schoolboys in
the District Of Columbia went out to
play soldier" with toy guns. One Of
the number carried a real gun, which
his parents had been foolish enough to
give him. The youthful captain of the
company told him he need not go with
tte party unless he would refrain from
loading the weapon. But he thought it
a great joke to load it on the SLY, believ-
ing that he would be sufficiently eau
tious in its use. Another boy, who sup
posed that the captains orders had
been respected, tried to be sly, too,
with the result that the gun went off.
A bullet passed through the jaw of an
innocent member of the party, who had
to be taken to the hospital, WIRE for
days his life hung in the balance. His
mother was at the time nervous in
valid, and he was her only child. Con-
sequently it was found necessary to
keep from her all knowledge OF the sad
affair Since this is true story, it's
repetition will be justified if its lessons
convey "still another warming"

The main battle for the cause of
rational position on horseback for
women was fought when the bicycle
came into vogue. There was no way
to ride that vehicle except astride, and
even the most prudish have long since
gotten over the idea that there was
anything immodest or out of taste in
bicycle riding for women. The unrea-
sonableness of admitting ross-riding
on the wheel and forbidding it on the
horse has been too patent for even the
strait-laced people of Boston; hence the
collapse this year of all objection to it
in the Boston riding clubs.

pared babies, looked at the new quilts

then, with daily happenings from all

a cosby good time on local affairs.
