Buffers CIlncher,

II think General Butler was the
best posted man on all questions be-
fore congress ever saw" said an
ex-congressman to the New York
Sun. 'sNow and then some con-
gresham inferior to him in brains
and information got the advantage
of him, but he more often came off
victorious in that arena. He and
Sam Cox once got into one of those
long running debates on the floor Of
congress, each often putting ques-
tons to the other in the most peril
nent and brilliant way. It was
Damascus blade against Damascus
blade. At last Cox put some wor-
rying question to him, leaving his.
seat to do SO, with CLEAN in his eye
as if saying, Now, old fellow, I've
got you where you must confess or
surrender Butler, being tired of
the badgering, turned on him as
lion does on its prey and said, 'Shoo
fly, don't bodder me- From the very
manner in which it was said and
coming upon the house so unexpect-
edly the house burst into one pro-
longed laugh. Right there and then,
as Uncle Remus says, Cox lost his
money bag, and he wilted as if an
ice shower bath had fallen suddenly
on his little person. Butler walked
over and congratulated him upon
his defeat. Both had good laugh
over it, and both retired at once, as
if hunting some place that Mrs. Ma
ton would smash with Ratchet"

Mark Twain's Discount.

A good story is told Of Mark
Twain and a booksellers clerk.
Twain was formerly a partner in a
publishing firm, and one day he went
into bookstore, and, picking up a
book, he asked the clerk the price Of
it. He then said that as publisher
he was entitled to so per cent dis
count. The clerk told him that was
all right, and then Twain said:
"And as I am also an author I am
entitled to so per cent discount for
that reason, am I not ?"
To this also the clerk assented.
"Then l am personal friend Of
the proprietor's, and I presume you
will allow me the usual % per cent
discount on that score"
Again the clerk bowed assent.
Under those conditions I think
1 will take the book" said the hui
morist. Glow much ?"
The clerk did some figuring with
his pencil and then said, without al
lowing smile to intrude upon the
solemnity Of the occasion:
Gas | figure it we owe you the
book and 81 1-2 cents in money.
We shall be glad to have you call
again"

At the last meeting of the diplomat

proposed by America was definitely

alton. If the ministers voice the

salt will be guaranteed to the powers,
provided the commercial powers con-
sent to the augmentation of the i'm
port duties. This was agreed to on
condition that the Chinese government
undertake the Improvement Of the
principal harbors and have the tariff
readjusted by the commercial nations.
The tax on salt, the native customs
duties and the taxes on grain, which
have been conceded, amply guarantee
the indemnity. The opposition of
America to the proposed international
guarantee has not been overcome.

average cargoes for the day were Of
Ash gross tons, a remarkably high
average and far greater than the av-

There were seven cargoes of over

ed at the war department that Cuban
independence will be an accomplished
fact by next Christmas. The next
step in order, now that the Plat
amendment is adopted by the consti-
tutional convention, is for that body
to take up and pass an electoral bill
which will provide for the election of
all the officers necessary to set up an
Independent government in Cuba. It
is said here that such bill is already
framed and is ready for submission to
the convention at any moment. There
is good reason for the belief that Sec
rotary Root has seen this bill and has
approved of its provisions If, indeed,
he has not actually had to do with it's
construction. It is thought that the
convention can dispose of this meas
ure in a week OF two, and that will
complete the labors of the body. A
period Of 80 days, it is said here, must
be allowed for publication Of the cleo
toral act before the necessary cleo
lions can be had. 1t may be neces-
sary, and probably will be. to maintain
some United States troops in Cuba
after the new officials are inaugurated
and until the Cubans have had time
to set up Cuban military forces or
gendarmerie, but. the length of this
stay probably will depend upon the
wishes of the Cubans themselves.

HUMAN FINGER PRINTs.
Possible Drawbacks to Their value il
Identification

Possible Drawbacks to Their Value II
Identification.
The constancy Of human finger print
ton with the Identification OF criminals
Assuming that the evidence Of dngel
prints is to be Admissible in crimina
proceedings, 1t will be not only neces.
bary to prove that in the case Of the
same man the finger prints remain IN
altered, but that no two persons have
Identical finger prints. Where is the
evidence Of this? asks w. II. S. Mcneil
IN knowledge.
There are probably 1900, 100000 mer
and women on the earth. Can we
suppose that no two of these have iden-
Il singer prints? Nor indeed IS this
all. ( may be comparing the finger
prints a living man with those OF
one who has been dead for years past,
and the doctrine Of heredity might lead
Us to expect to find similar finger prints
in the case of parents and children, and
Of different children Of the same par
ents. 1t is, at all events, certain that
If this finger print system were once
introduced il o our courts Of justice
there would :. any amount Of wrang-
ling as to whether they were identical
Or only similar-experts contradicting
each other and involving the whole
subject in confusion.
Moreover, professional criminals
would probably soon find some mode OF
altering their finger prints. No doubt
il the person who committed crime
a murder, for example-has left the
imprint of his fingers on anything it
may prove an important clue; but the
Same thing may be said Of the imprint
Of his boot or shoes. But a clue is one
thing and a proof another thing.
Let me point out another difficulty.
In country where there are a large
number Of criminals whose finger prints
are collected, the number of these will
Soon be very large. How long would it
take to examine this collection in order
to find out whether any of them CORES
pended accurately with the finger prints
Of the man who is now accused? The
task would, think, be a hopeless one.
That finger prints may be important
in the detection of crime whenever the
criminal has left the print of his fin
gers behind him do not dispute, but
without much stronger evidence than
we now possess that no two persons
have unaistinguis11able finger prints,
such evidence ought never to be per-
mitted to outweigh what appeared to be
p Ttolerably satisfactory alibi.--Chicago

did you, Barry?'' retorted Thomas.
'Then you must have loafed.''
Steel Mackaye diagnosed Barrymore
as an actor who in order to become
famous "needed only a great sorrow. Z"
To Maekaye he invariably replied that
ne and sorrow were still strangers.
Once, however, he went to Mackaye
with long face, and melancholy brow,
low and tremulous tones, and, choking
back sob, said: ''Dear old Steele,
when you made that testing prediction
about me and sorrow you had no idea
how soon it would come true, and you
can not be surprised that now come

Admirers of Barrymore will remem-
Der his habit of lighting scores of cigar
cites during a performance and have,
of course, supposed that part Of the
business of the play. But it was q
business that Barry injected for the
author. The actor was seldom letter
perfect in his parts, and his memory OF
late years was not to be depended upon.
