Women Careless With Watches.
PHILADELPHIA Record.l


Women don't deserve to own watch-
es,," said Philadelphia jeweler. "rhey
don't know how to take care of them.
They seldom remember to wind them,
and the consequence Is the watches are
always coming back for repairs. "A
woman bought one from us recently,
and gave her strict orders to wind it
every twenty-four hours, and always at
the same. hour. as nearly possible.
Two days later she came back with it;
said it had stopped. and she couldn't
make 1T go. Well, | found 1t had run
down and hadn't been wound up again.
I told her this, but she insisted that she
had wound it. Two or three days later
she came back with the same COM
plant, and again I tried to impress her
with the necessity of winding 1t.
Again she insisted she had done so and
Went away rather miffed. The third
time she came in l asked her In desper-
alton to show me how she had wound
it. Then made a peculiar discovery.
The woman was left-handed, and in at
to wind the watch she had
been winding it the wrong way, with
absolutely no effect upon the spring.
I've been in the business a good many
years, but it's the first time ever had
an experience like that" i

concerning the situation.

ing to the dispatch of a warship will

case the condition Of affairs at Santa
Marta should llemand the presence of

cided to senoxtehe gunboat Marietta,

eighty days messages will pass over the

Negotiations Are Pending With View
Of Presentation to Congress.
Washington, Sept. 25.-With the ex-
pectation of being ready to present to
congress at the opening of it's next ses-
sion the fabric of Treaties between the
United States and Cuba, negotiations
are pending between Mr.. Quesada,
Cuban minister, and the. state depart
ment with regard to IA commercial
treaty, extradition treaty to adjust the
title to the Isle OF Pines. 1t is the
purpose Of Quesada, it is stated, to
draw up commercial treaty on reci-
procity lines. The fate of such treaty
will depend, naturally, on congressional
action on the subject OF Cuban reci-
procity. The extradition treaty be-
tween the United State and Cuba has
already been drafted. Provision for
the establishment of civil government
in Cuba omitted the Isle of Pines from
the constitutional boundaries of Cuba,
and left its title to future definition by
treaty The United States has decided
to leave the island under the jurisdic-
ton of the Cuban government until
such a convention can be contaminated.
The Isle of Pines is municipal dis
trict, part Of Havana province.

PoIiceman's Appeal to Teacher.
Minneapolis Tribune.

The spectacle of huge policeman
down in st. Paul appealing to the lady
principal of one of the schools to pro-
tect him from the annoyances Of the
school children must strike any one at
first glance as funny. But any one
who has had opportunity to know how
annoying children can be to adults will
be apt to sympathize With the officer.
The kids" made faces and jeered at
him when he passed, indulging in in
sulting remarks. and ii he chased them
they disappeared into sundryN hiding
places and grew all the saucier. OF
course he couldn't arrest the whole
school. A big man doesn't like to en-
gage in q controversy with a small boy,
anyhow, and such controversy is pc
culiarly lowering to the dignity of a
policeman 1t is to be hoped that the
lady principal will succeed In Impress
ing upon the minds of the youngsters

getting started upon course OF petty
.outlawry that might develop them, la
ter on. into "toughs. of the worst
character.

Fancied Insult
DYNAMITEs HOTEL BUILD, :
The Golden Eagle House at Washing.
ton, D. c., Completely Wrecked and
Thirty Guests Thrown Into the De-
bris-Proprietor and Wife Seriously
Hurt-Mckie Suicides.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Last night
Louis Brandt, proprietor of the Golden
Eagle Hotel, new Jersey avenue and
d street gave a banquet in honor of his
wife, who had returned from Germany.
at which Frank Nc Kie. aged 2S, was
a guest. During the evening Brandt
and MCKEE quarrelled over the latter's
attentions to Mrs. Brandt. MCKEE left
the hotel threatening revenge. He re-
turned about 4 this morning and ext
ploded a charge of dynamite in the
room over the one occupied by Brandt
and wife, subsequently committing sui
eide by shooting. The hotel was COM
pletely wrecked, glass in adjoining
buildings shattered and thirty guests In
the hosiery thrown from their beds,
but only Brandt and wife were In
jured, the latter seriously.
Mcxie had boarded at the hotel for
four years and had been treated as a
member Of the Brandt family, which
included daughter. Sophie. with whom
McKie is said to have been in love.
Brandt denies that there was any un-
derstanding between the two. McKie
remarked last night that he was going
to wait until Sophie returned from
Germany with her mother and then was
going to his old home in Philadelphia
Mrs. Brandt and daughter returned
last night, and the attempt at whole-
sale murder followed this morning. Nc
kie. with pistol in hand, was seen by an
employe Of the lunch room opposite the
hotel just before the shots were fired
When the explosion occurred, q slight
blaze sprung from the debris, but it was
quickly extinguished by the firemen.
Brandt and wife were rescued before
many Of the thirty guests of the es-
Establishment had reached the part of the
building in which McKie's room was
located. MCKEE. with a revolver
clutched in his hand, was found lying
on the floor with his head in pool of
blood. A bullet hole near his right ear
had caused instant death. Brandt was
bruised about the body shaken up bad
ly and received a severe cut on the
left leg. Mrs.. Brandt sustained bruises
about the body, and a cut hand. When
the wrecked building was searched to-
day enough dynamite was found In
McKies trunk to blow up block of
buildings There were six large sticks,
and parts of two or three broken
sticks. together with box of caps and
a quantity Of wire for long distance
explosion.
MCKEE was formerly of Philadelphia
and had relatives in Chicago. He was
a machinist in the navy yard here, but
resigned on inheriting $4,000 about
four years ago. This amount he Is
said to have lost on the races and his
act is accredited by some to this loss.
