Under the above caption the New

upon the methods resorted to BY Gen.
Funston for the capture of Aguinsldo,
concluding with these paragraphs:
We have now the successive steps
clearly before us; treachery by Agli.

composed of TagalO and Macabebe

the supposed American prisoners be
kindly treated; the final scene with the
traitor Tagsl0 throwing bis armi
about the entrapped leader.

Verdi and the crit,c,. !.

No outsiders, not even members Of
the press, were allowed to be present
Mt rehearsals of verdi's operas. "a
production of work of mine," said
Verdi, "is an affair between that work
and the public. do not write for the
press. but for the public, who will sup
port me II my work is good or who will
execute me If 1t is not. do not care
for nught else" NJ. de Nevers thus de-
scribes Verdi's attitude at a dress re-
Eearsal Of "Otello" in Paris, when the
press was present against his wishes:
THE critics were all placed in the
corbeille of the amphitheater, some ten
rows Of stalls having been cleared
away to make room for a table and
chairs for Verdi. Boito and the direct
ors. NM. Sardou, Meilhac, Halevy,
Obin, the director Of fine arts, and
two or three dignitaries and officials of
the Opera sat behind in the remaining
rows of stalls. Among the critics were
MN. Reyer, Bruneau, Joncieres, Bel
laigue, Pessard, Corneau and Sarcey.
The foreign press was represented by
NJ. de Blowitz and myself, and as Ver-
di came in all stood up, with hats of,
and scheered the wonderful man.. The
orchestra Joined, of course, in the ova-
ton, and 1t was to the musicians that
the master went and, bowling his ven-
cradle head very low, he thanked them
for the kind demonstration and shook
hands with the nearest, but never once
did he turn our way except for one mo-
ment, when he took us all in with a
side giance-aE ugly one-and then for
the rest Of the evening, someliys hours,
ignored our presence completely"

rce uliar.,ies of Crime,


one II the strangest prculiarities of
human nature is its inclination tn
initiate the misdeeds of others. Crime
Is epi6emical. A particularly dreadful
murder, the details of which are set
forth in all the newspapers, often has
tile effect of inducing similar crimes.
One of the reasons, and probably the
chief reason, why public executions
were abolished In England, was that
instead of acting as deterrent the
execution had the contrary effect of
melting to murder.
In 1885 n woman of Geneva, named
Lombardi, killed her four children.
She admitted that she had been read
Ing of a woman who killed her hus-
band, and the very circumstantial ac-
count had made her wish to initiate the
crime, but as her husband was dead
she killed the children. This is only
one Instance out of hundreds which
have come 10 our notice.
The infectious nature Of self muuirf
receives striking testimony in the
following incident: DIR. Oppenheim of
Hamburg had to examine the body of a
man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days Of suffering. The
medico told his assistant that death
would have been immediate If the man
had made the cut in way which he
Illustrated, and he was startled two
days later to learn that his assistant
had attempted to. commit suicide by
lacerating himself in that very manner.
The man admitted that he had never
thought of suicide until the day Of the
examination and the Doctors remark

(Benson's Plaster Is Palms MasierO

For coughs and colds Benson's Porous
Flasters are an inoomparably better rem
edy than any other-external or internal.
IAeir medicinal properties enter the skin
and go straight to the seat Of tho disease.
They relieve and cure ''seatedp cold
without disturbing the system or upsetting
ths stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-
seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in
the highest degree, and quickest to act.
Placed on the chest or back or on both
at pnce in serious cases, the good effect is
fessimmediately. The congestion yields, the
cough abates and the breathing improves.
Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss of time.
Benson's Plasters are immeasurably su-
perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Cap
sicum or any other combination in plaster
form. They are also preferable to oint-
nents, liniments and salves.
Benson's Plasters have received Uty.fpe
higHest Goa-ds over all competitors; and
more than 5000 physicians and druggists
have declared them to be one of the few
trustworthy household remedies. For sale

One Gay Judge Marshall, engrossed
in his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in q stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, nn old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.

money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger. but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper If an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes" said the landlord, "he left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think of that old gentleman7'
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said:

Tough Old English state.men.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were Of harder and more robust
type than the present race Of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
tons to match. They dined off huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are contentuwith outlet
and a lemon squash. And yet they liv-
ed to good old age. We hear Of Lord
Brougham. at the age of 70 drinking
two bottles Of port at dinner. going to
bed upon half a bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal" and Lord Lyndhurst Mt
the age of 90 "supplng off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr.. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand, tells US that he remembers see
ing 'Mr. Disraeli drinking. as the pre-
lude to a big speech, q pint Of port
wine ut the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in green coat, buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers" !"
This seems q modest potation under
the circumstances, but Mr.. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and had
another pint later -BlackwooHs.

The Echo at work.

When we had climbed to the top of
the mountain, we observed an old man
sitting on a rock with pair of field
glasses in his hands. Every now and
then he would look earnestly through
them and then whoop continuously for
a time with q vigor astonishing, con-
sidering his age. For time we OBJ
served him from q respectful distance

Putney 70 Mortlnkc.
London, April 1.-The closeness of
the finish of the Oxford Cambridge
boat race, which was rowed over the
course from Putney to Mortlake,
which is officially given as two-fifth of
length, is evidence of the dogged-
ness OF the contest. Cambridge won
the toss and chose the Surrey side. A
half gale was blowing from the south
west as the time for the start drew
near and the water was SO rough that
choice of positions was considered
great advantage; and but for the gen.
eralship of Culme-Seymour, Oxford's
stroke, it might easily have given the
race to the light blue. AS 1t was the
