He Was 1t.

Augustus Hare tells an amusing
story of one of his charming peripa-
tetic lectures in Rome. He had con-
voyed his little flock, which included
one live prince, through the Palace OF
the Caesars and had gathered them
near the Forum, when he observed
mysterious stranger who had attached
himself to the party looking more and
more angry every minute" At length
the interloper could stand Mr.. Hare
10 longer. He burst forth in denuncla-
lions. 'All that this person has been
telling you about the Palace of the
Caesars he has had the effrontery to
relate to you as if it were his own.
You will be astonished, gentlemen and
ladies, to hear that it is taken word
for word-word for word, without the
slightest neutrality-suspicious. Mr.:
Hare's Walks in Rome" "Al |
said," says Mr.. Hare, twas: oh, l
am much obliged to you. l did not
know there was anybody in the world
who would defend my interests so
kindly. I am Augustus Hare

An Easy Winner.

A minister was one day walking
along a road, and to his establishment
he saw crowd of boys sitting in
front of a ring with small dog in the
center. When he came up to them he
put the following question: What
are you doing to the dog?' One little
boy said: whoever tells the biggest
lie wins it, "Oh," said the minister,
II am surprised at you little boys, for
when l was like you 1 never told lies"
There was silence for a while, until
one of the boys shouted: Hand him
up the dog!"

Dancing and "Cinch."

''It all depends on the way you look
at it, said the Thoughtful Theorist.

Clinton, Ind, some good people have
began vigorous crusade against dane
ing and cinch. Now at first glance you
would think there was not much in
common between the two and would
naturally wonder why cinch was
picked out for particular notice, but
that is because you do not understand
the matter. Dancing is not so bad, and
there is nothing especially terrible
about cinch, but when it comes to
cinch dancing, why that's another
matter. A glance at the dictionary
will make this clear. TO cinch," ac-

Irish of Kenosha Will Celebrate at
the Rhode Opera House on
Next Thursday Evening.
MISS MAUDE CONNIE COMING
Accompanied by the Famous Major Nc
Bride-The Irish Joan of Arc Will Speak
at the Rhode opera House.

! Kenosha and her people are to be
highly honored during the coming
week, as the members of st. James
church have just completed arrange
ments for a great meeting at the
Rhode opera house on next Thursday
evening, at which speakers of world
wide fame will be present. The meet
ing has been arranged for the benefit
of St. James church, and the leading
attraction will be the presence of Miss
Maude Come, and Major Mcbride,
leader of the famous Irish regiment in
the Boer war. For some time the local
Irish people have been making an eff
fort to have Miss Come and Major
Mcbride visit Kenosha during their
American tour and it was largely
through the assistance of John E.
Heating, of Chicago, that the famous
representatives of the Irish race were
secured to give addresses in Kenosha.
Miss Maude Come, commonly
known as the Irish Joan of Arc, is the
most noted woman in the public eye
today. For the past few weeks she
has been in America and the largest
cities of the nation have turned out
thousands of people to hear her. She
is working for the freedom OF Ireland
and has done more to place the Irish
people in the right light before the
world than all the champions of the
Irish race. She is a woman of great
beauty and is highly cultured.
Major Mcbride, who comes with
Miss Come to Kenosha, has been
1ionized on two continents. He has
long been an active supporter of Gree
Ireland" and when the war in the
Transvaa1 broke out Major Mcbride
was one of the first of the Irish patri-
cts to go to the Transvaa1 and offer his
services to the Boer army. His brave
fighting and the good he achieved for
the Beers are too well known to de-
mand any further notice.
The meeting in Kenosha promises to
be the greatest thing of the kind ever
held in the city. Racine, Milwaukee
and Chicago Irish societies will attend
the meeting in a body and large dele
cations will come from all the sur
rounding cities. Several receptions
are being planned for the entertain
ment of the distinguished guests while
they are in the city.
Further announcements as to the
entertainment to be given in connec-
ton with the visit will be made later.

4 New York physician, while vac
cinating a patient the other day, felt
a tingling or itching on the end of his
nose. He had just scraped a patch of
skin from the arm of the person on
whom he was operating. and had his
virus all ready. But the itching caused
him to momentarily forget science, and
he scratched his nose with the point
containing the virus. There happened
at the time to be a slight abrasion of
the cuticle upon the olfactory organ
in question, and the doctor is at pres
ent in a position to testify that there
may be circumstances under which
vaccination is not desirable or even
pleasant to take.
Now, there is nothing very remark
able about the fact that the gentle
mans nose itched or that there was a
scratch upon it, but what followed
ought to teach us that there still is
such thing as poetic justice in this
world, and that no man can tell when
or how it may overtake him who
handles edged tools careleSsly.
We have been unable to find out
whether it took ON the patients arm
or not.

SECRETARY GOMEZ INSTRUCTED TO

No Probability that 1t VIII Reach
GRAFTON by the Present Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The War De-
rartment has not yet heard from General
Wood of the reception by him of the Cuban
Constitution, reported from Havana. 1t
is not expected he will send 1t to Washing
ton Immediately unless he can transmit
along with it some resolution by the con-
stitutional convention defining the relations
that are to exist between the United States
and Cuba. The statement is made quite
positively that it would be idle and pur-
poseless to transmit the Constitution as 1T
stands, and without any provisions for the
hereafter as between the two countries.
1t is now manifest that it would be phys
ical impossibility for the present Congress
to act on the subject of Cuba.
1t has been decided that Secretary Roots

JURY COULD NOT AGREE
DIR. SAMUEL j. KENNEDY WILL RE.
MAIN IN THE TOMBs PRISON.
Unsatisfactory Conclusion of His Sec
Reynolds at New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The jury In the
second trial of DR.. Samuel ]. Kennedy.
under indictment for the murder of Dolly
Reynolds, to-day disagreed, and the ac-
cused is again in the Tonbs in the cell
formerly Occupied by Roland B. Molineux
The verdict of the jury was awaited with
intense interest. Mrs. Kennedy arrived
early at the Criminal Court building. after
a sleepless night, and was accompanied by
her father and mother. While waiting.
Mrs. Kennedy had visit from General
E. L. Molineux, who called to express his
sympathy.
The jurors came in at 2:45 They had
been out twenty-three hours; had been up
practically all night, and they were so tired
that several of them were hardly able to
walk. After the usual questions from the
justice as to whether the jury had agreed
upon verdict, the. foreman, James Kla-
Der, replied: 81 can speak for myself only.
l am unable TO speak for the others.
cannot be persuaded from my position"
The foreman's statement was taken as
bearing out rumors that the jury had been
eleven for acquittal and one for convic-
ton. Justice Firsman discharged the jury
with warning not to disclose to anybody
anything that occurred in the jury room.
Mr. Mcintyre then arose and, on behalf
of the people, announced that DR.. Kennedy
would have to stand another and a third
trial.
After the case had been finished and the
jury had been discharged DR.. Kennedy,
with his father and wife, walked upstairs
and across the corridor from the north TO
the south. Then Kennedy was taken to the
Tombs, his wife and father going out and
around to the. Tombs from the street.
Justice Firsman's warning stopped the
usual sources of information as to the bal
lots taken by the jury, but there is good
authority for the statement that the jury
took many ballots and stood all night eight
to four for conviction; that on the last
ballot one jurymas went over to DR.. Ken
nedy's side and that the result was a final
vote of seven to five for conviction.
Mr. Mcintyre said after the adjournment
OF the court that any motion to admit DR..
Kennedy to bail would be opposed by the
district attorney.

Lord Pauncefote's Message Concern
ing the Nicaragua Canal Treaty
Laid Before the Ministers.
FINAL ACTION NOT TAKEN
VIEWS OF THE CABINET TO BE
MADE KNOWN TO MIR. CHOATE.
No Probability that the Senate Amend
ments VIII BE Accepted without
Concessions i'm Return.

LONDON, Feb. PIN spite of the great
liberations of the Cabinet are guarded,
the Associated Press is able to assert that
one of the subjects under discussion at
to-day's meeting was dispatch from Lord
Pauncefote which. it is understood. dealt
with the probable attitude of the United
States toward Great Britain's counter pro-
posal in the Nicaraguan matter. Inquiries
in official quarters as to whether the Mica
ragua or China questions were even men,
toned meet with the inevitable noncom-
initial answer that all the proceedings OF
the Cabinet are carried on with the strict
est privacy and that it is impossible to
admit the truth or falsity of suppositions
regarding even the general nature of af-
fairs discussed.
AS the official action resulting from to-
days meeting has not yet had time to take
definite shape. it is impossible to say what
conclusion was reached. United States
Ambassador Choate will probably be sum-
moned to the office next Monday, when
Lord Lansdowne is likely to communicate
to him the British views regarding the
Nicaragua and China controversies. No
expectation need be entertained that this
interview will settle one way or the other
the Nicaragua canal difficulty. Great Brit
ain has no intention of ratifying the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in the form desired by
the Senate, unless her counter proposals
are agreed to within the short time which
remains before that treaty lapses. and this
is recognized to be almost impossible
Further information was desired from
Lord Pauncefote, and, at the request of
Lord Lansdowne, he sent the dispatch
which was discussed to-day. There is no
reason TO believe that ii has affected the
decision previously announced by the AS
sociated Press that the British govern
ment has decided not TO give in to the
demands of the Senate without quid pro
quo.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The police situa-
tion. which has been unsettled for at ,e.st
two years. and which has all the time haep
working up TO climax, especially since the
recent Introduction OF the police bill at Al
bany, reached that climax this afternoon
when Col. Michael C. Murphy, president Of
the Board of Health, walked into the Office
Of Chief Devegy. at police headquarters
and announced that he had been appointed
commissioner and chief of police of the civ
of New York. Commissioner John b Sex-
ton had been there for hours waiting for
news. Devery was waiting as a citizen. and
not as a chief, for Deputy Chief Cortright

Day-The g. f. w. Nicely Case.
HAVANA, Feb. 22.-Nothing definite has
been decided upon by the Cuban constitu-
tion makers regarding the question of fu-
ture relations with the United States. Many
of the delegates assembled in the conven-
ton hall this afternoon to talk over the
matter informally. Most Of them seem to
be impressed with the conviction that if
the convention stood out vigorously for alb
solute independence the United States Con-
gress would support them.
The special committee on relations has in
structed its secretary, Senior Juan Gual-
berto Gomez to draw up proposition and
submit the same to the committee for con-
sideration tomorrow. This proposition, 1t
is understood, deals with the issue in three
leading divisions: First, that Cuba shall not
be made the base of war operations against
the United States; second. that the COM
mercial treaty with the United States shall
embody, as far as possible, free trade be-
tween the countries, and, third that no
foreign treaties shall be made jeopardizing
the independence of Cuba.
The special committee considers that the
be unable to pay has been guarded against
in the Constitution. Instructions on this
point and the others were given to Senior
Gomez in the form of notes and sugges-
tions. 1t is understood that the question
of naval stations was not mentioned The
committee will report on Monday at an ex-
ecutive session convention

Council of Havana a resolution was adopt

WORK OF THE SENATE.
The POstOmce and Diplomatic Appro-
priatiOn Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-Two of the
great supply bills of the government-the
postoffce and the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bills-were passed by the
Senate to-day. During the greater part
OF the session proposition to discontinue
the appropriations for fast-mail facilities
from New York to New Orleans, via At
lanta, and from Kansas City. Mo-, to
Newton, Kan, was under discussion. While
the debate was protracted. ii was not par
ticularly lively. BY a decisive vote the
Senate continued the appropriations. An
effort was made 10 obtain an appropria-
tion to continue the pneumatic-tube serv-
ice in New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
but it failed. An amendment was agreed
to authorizing the postmaster general 10
investigate the question of establishing
a postal telegraph system and to report
his findings to the next Congress. The
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill
was passed in record time only forty min
utes being consumed In its consideration.
after a spirited debate the conference re-
port on the Indian appropriation bill was
re jected and sent back to conference.

ORGAN GRINDERS CLAIM
vIsCOUNF HINTON AGAIN TRYING TO
GET AN ENGLISH EARLDOM.
Alleged Son of William Henry PauIett
Made Himself Notorious by Play
ing an Organ in London Streets.

LONDON, Feb. 22-Proceedings have
been started in behalf of viscount Hinton
who at one time played an organ in Lon
don streets, to eject the youthful Earl
Paulett from Hinton House pending the
trial of the question of his right to the
earldom. An injunction will be asked for
to restrain the present occupant of the
family estate from using the title of Earl
Paulett
When William Henry Paulett died in Lon
don Jan. %. 1899. the succession of his title
and estate came into dispute. The old earl
was thrice married, and the organ-grinding
claimant to his estate declares himself to
be his eldest son by Miss Elizabeth Virginia
Newman, daughter of a Landport pilot,
whom the earl married in 1S49. The earls
second marriage was without issue In 1879
he contracted a marriage, his third, with
Rosa De Melville, daughter of Alfred Hugh
De Melville. and the son of this union now
enjoys the estates and property which the
claimant will attempt TO possess by process
of law.
The alleged Earl Paulett has long lived
among the London poor supporting himself
by organ grinding. He has given some
study to the matter of the housing of the
London masses, with whose life and hard
ships he is personally familiar The old
earl never concealed his hatred for his or
gan-grinding son, whom he characterized
as an impostor- He was so opposed to his
eventually enjoying his estates that he at
tempted so TO entail and mortgage them
during his lifetime so that even If his son
were successful in his efforts to be recog-
nized as his fathers lawful heir there
would be little, If any, property for him TO
enjoy. While the earl's son by his third
wife enjoys the estate and uses the title
his claim thereto has never been confirmed
by the courts.
