PhilanthropIst Keene doesn't believe
much in organized charity, for the rea-
son that it demands a certificate of
character before giving aid to people
in extremity. 1t is true enough that in
almost everything else, including the
pursuit Of pleasure, we take long
chances on getting the worth of our
money.

CLAIMS OF sEAMEN REJECTED
Or Those Injured in the Explosion of
the Maine.

Washington. March THE Spanish
treaty claims commission has handed
down decision against the claimants
of the deaths and injuries received by
officers and seamen in the wreck of the
battleship Maine, in Havana harbor.
The commission holds that the Gin
dividual claims of citizens of one ma
ton may arise against the government
of another nation for redress Of injur.
les to persons or property which such
injury may have sustained from such
goyernement or any of its agents. But
such individual claims do not arise in
favor OF the officers and seamen of a
ship of war, who receive, in the line
of duty, injuries . their persons for
which foreign government is respons-
ible. The claim against the foreign
government is wholly national and all
injuries to such officers and seamen
are merged in the national injury;
and they can look only to their own
government for remuneration as II
may choose to give them.
"A seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battleship Maine
in the harbor of Havana, Cuba. on Feb.
10, 1898, had no individual claim
against Spain even If that government
was responsible to the United States
for the explosion and therefore such
seaman is not entitled to an award in
his favor from the Spanish treaty
claims commission organized by the
act of congress of March 2. 1901, to
adjudicate all individual claims Of
citizens Of the United States against
Spain, which the United States releas.

yeaty of peace of December 10. 1898.
"The claims SO far filed with the
commission which will be affected by
this decision amount to about $780,
900 which probably would be increased
to S5,000,0O0 had the decision beer
favorable to the claimants"

HONEST FRANKNEss BEsT.-A curious
quarrel has arisen between Marie Cor
relli, the author, and the editor Of The
Gentlewoman. The latter published a
letter marked, Private and Conflden-
tial," in which Miss Correlli complains
that her name was omitted from the list
of those invited to the royal enclosure
at the Braemer Highland gathering.
AS the name Of Lady Byron was men
toned and as her ladyship was merely
Miss Correlli's guest, the author says:
II can only conclude that my name
was purposely omitted"
She requests an explanation and says
the omission caused the greatest sur
prise and offense to many persons, in
cluding Lady Byron. The editor Of The
Gentlewoman replies by saying that
Miss Correlli was quite correct in ac-
cordance with instructions long since
given by the editor, "in difference to
Miss Correllis expressed opinions of
newspapers puffs."
In all her books which the editor had
been able to read, Miss Correlli gloried
in an opportunity of expressing con-
tempt for the press and particularly
for those "snobs," Miss Correlli's ia
vorite word, "who seek newspaper no
toriety. Now he realizes that Miss
Correlli has been misunderstood and
that it would really have gratif1ed her
to have been named as present in the
royal enclosure.-London Gable.

The Piano Tuner.

A lady stepped into a piano ware
room recently to engage tuner, but
before before doing so insisted upon
the strongest assurance that the tuner
was responsible, says the Philadelphia
Musician. She was so determined that
the manager became curious to know
the reason for her disbelief in the reli-
ability of tuners. She gave her expe-
riance with the last tuner she had, and
this is the story as she told it:
He had about finished tuning the pi-
ano, when he looked up and said:
Your instrument was in awful con-
dition. You ought to have sent for me
sooner"
1T was tuned only three months
ago."
"Then the man who did it certainly
didn't know his business"
mop"
mo, ma'am. He had better be doing
street cleaning than tuning pianos.
Why, my dear madam, a delicate in
strument like a piano needs fingers
equally delicate to handle it, combin-
ed with an ear Of unerring accuracy.
The individual who attempted to tune
this instrument last evidently possessed
neither of these. In fact, I am free to
say he did it more harm than good"
"Indeed?" -.
Indeed he did. May I ask who it
was who so abused your instrument?'
"It was yourself!"
Madam, you are wrong. I never
tuned a piano in this house before"
Probably not; but you tuned that
instrument, nevertheless, or made a
botch Of it in attempting to do so. 1t
belongs to Mrs. Jones, who sent it here
while she is out of town. She told me
you always tuned it, and to send for
you when -"
But the unhappy man fled with such
haste as to make his coattails good
substitute for a card table.
