upon payment of all accrued dividends
and 1925 in cash for each share. The

and insist upon the privilege formerly
expressed of converting his preferred
stock into common stock.

ELKINS FOR ANNEXATION

Washington, June 30,-Early in the
session of the Senate today Elkins OF
West Virginia delivered an earnest
speech in favor of the annexation OF
Cuba, maintaining that it would be In
the best interests of both countries.
Elkins' remarks drew sharp fire from
Plat of Connecticut and Hanna OF
Ohio, who deprecated any annexation
proposition at this time, and urged that
the United States ought to be sensible
Of its obligations to the civilized world
If not to Cuba. After lively colloquy,
in which General Wood was criticised
by inference for using Cuban funds to
advance the reciprocity propaganda,
Elkins resolution for annexation was
referred to the Cuban Relations Com
mittee.

JAPANESE cARELESsNBSS.

A common evidence of the stupidity
of Japanese drivers was witnessed
yesterday afternoon on Fort stree
just above Merchant when an express
wagon came up the street, the horse
on the gallop and the Japanese driver
frightened out of his senses. AS he was
about to pass the buggy of Albert Me-
Gurn. which was peacefully standing by
the curb, MS McGurn enjoying a quies
cigar. the Japanese turned the horse
suddenly into the buggy. turning II
completely over and causing McGurn
to do a rapid handspring to the side
walk. No damage was done other than
a badly broken shaft and sprung
wheel. so the Japanese was allowed to
depart in peace.

ProvIdentlaI Escape Of Darby Urged
Him to Prophesy.
Gen. ohn5~falmer, formerly Com
mander in Chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, told this story at the
Grand Union hotel:
|. One Sunday, while in camp near
the Rapidan, we received word that
q baptism under the auspices of the
colored church would occur on the
banks of the river at II O'Clock, and
nearly the whole regiment went down.
The river was rushing like a mill
stream and the outdoor baptism was
= risky performance.
The first one to wade out and reach
the minister, who had secured a good
footing, was young buck about twen-
ty years of age. AS the minister laid
MIN down and he felt the cold water
covering him he struggled so hard
that he got away from the minister
and went down out of sight In Sec
ond. The witnesses were shocked to
stiffness and were wondering what
to do when about 500 feet down the
stream the negroes head was seen
coming up, and as he had struck a
sunken tree he kept climbing along,
suffering out the river water right
and left, seeking a perch where he
could get his breath.
The observers, expecting some ex-
preston of thankfulness on his part
after his narrow escape, were shocked
q second time when he hollored out:
Go on, go on up there, but some.

A KlpIinu Story.

The following story from Kipling-
who opened new rife range at Sy-

bachelor of about 48 who was in the
habit of wintering in one Of those
towns which Stevenson has described
somewhere as "perched like birds on
the olive-crowned cliffs of the RI
viera." Rushing in where angels fear
to tread, with the courage born OF In

undertaken the escort of four small
children, their ages ranging from to

thousand miles, to visit grandparents
residing in England. He was relating
the various experiences through which
he had passed on this long journey to
lady sitting next him at dinner
party. Rudyard Kipling on the oppo-
site side, but little bit lower down,
happened to catch some of the re-
marks, and asked to have the nara
tive repeated. Having had the entire
episode related to him, he looked

PUTS DAMPER ON PROPOSALS
lndignities Heaped Upon the Bride

lndignities Heaped Upon the Bride
groom-Elect In China.
Women are constantly complaining
that eligible men show most uncom
promising desire to remain single in
stead of selecting wife. 1t is, there
fore, a good thing that the same con
ditions do not prevail in England as
in some parts of China, or the prob
ability is that not one in thousand
would ever take woman "for better
or for worse"
In these Celestial regions the bride
om-elect has to submit to being
dressed up by his friends in any sort
of costume they like, and thus habited
they accompany him in state through
the streets of the town. Perhaps In
that part of the world men are over
anxious to be married, and everything
which can possibly be done to induce
them to remain single until they ar
rive at more mature age has to be
resorted to.
It is another case of all being fail
in love and war, and no doubt the
Chinaman who is shouting to-day as
he accompanies his friend knows full
we'll that next week he may be the
bridegroom-elect, and so the punish
ment is robbed of much of it's terror

somewhat shaky from prolonged

plenty of nerve in an emergency. So
l put the proposition squarely at him.

plant over the railing and forgot to
return 1t, so that instead of cracking

area was unlocked, and, as the street
was quiet told Watson he better

it was. The carpet was thick and
