and swallow the water or forget to hold your hand tightly doubled up your wish won | come true, so you have to be very careful and, Of course, you can't speak to anyone on the way
 All the boys and girls at the party said they thought 1t was beautiful trick, until Jimmy added: .
 And, of course, each one has to go alone"
 There was a general falling off Of enthu- siasm and no one volunteered to go hrst. The Barclows lived on block which, as Mrs. Barclow sometimes complained to the children's father, turned very fair face to the world, but was more than doubtful In the rear. Just around the corner from the neat row of houses in which the Barclows' home was situated there stood dilapidated row of shanties. in which many of the most dangerous characters in the town lived, and Mrs. Barclow, together with all the mothers of the respectable side of the block, never failed to warn the children of the dangers of this 'shanty quarter"
 But if the salt and water trick was to be properly done 1t was necessary to go past this very row of shanties. and in the even ing, too when the children knew the occu- pants of the shanties were particularly reck- less. However, 1t was felt that no Hal lowe'en game In good and regular standing could be ignored, and after few moments of silent cogitation Jimmy himself offered to go first.
 The others watched him start out with mingled feelings of admiration and fear. Jimmy doubled his fist tightly over the salt and puffed his cheeks stoutly over the water. It took him but few moments to reach the corner and to turn from the brightly lighted street into the gloomy, narrow shanty alley
 As he had expected, the residents of the quarter were many of them upon the streets in spite of the cool evening, and those who were not quarreling and gossiping outside sat at their open windows joining now and again in the conversation.
 Prudent boy as he was Jimmy had saved his wish up until he should need It. "i guess I'll wish to get safely around,' he thought, just as the shanty quarter resi- dents caught sight of him and raised shout at his expense But he took back the wish immediately. ''No l won't, either," he thought; 'I may need 1t worse than do

Tilda, but feebly.
 "If white gals can spit fire they can hoo doc folks"
 Tilda at last succumbed-that Is, she made concessions. The two old women might practice their spells if they wanted to, but she was not willing to quite abandon her standard, and the power of prayer should also have chance. So it was arranged. Strange, savage rites, the offspring of some primeval ceremonies practiced first in the lonely depths of an African forest alter mated with distinctly modern prayer meet ings-prayer meetings, though, that were strongly tinged with local color by these tropical people.

and he saved me. It's Halloween trick, he explained to the boy, 'and this is Hal lowe'en party. You are invited. What is your name?'
 Mickey Grogan," said the red-haired boy. q was never to Halloween party, but I like em.' He grinned cheerfully.
 "Oh, Jimmy, then your wish will come true," said Mabel. "I hope it was a good one
 s'I forgot to make any," confessed Jimmy.

It was one of the happiest Hailowe' 'en par, ties of the season that Jimmy and Mabel Barclow gave. All the usual Hallowe, en games had been played with unusual pre- cision and enthusiasm up to the time that Jimmy proposed the water and salt trick.
 You just go around the block with your mouth full of water and your hands full or salt said Jimmy, .'and If you get all the way around without spilling drop of water or a grain of salt the wish that you wish on the way will come true If you laugh

THE FLUTTER BUDGETS LAY.

live in Flutter Budget Town, Where paper peanuts grow; Where tables all stand upside down, And chairs are made of dough. Where steamer trunks are built of rope And filled with lemonade; Where pies are made of sweet soft soap And eaten with spade.

We'll you're queer," said the red-haired boy but he followed Jimmy, looking rather pleased.
 He looked even more pleased when they reached their destination, and Jimmy dragged him up the steps of house on the good side of the block.'
 Once inside the house and his task com pleted, Jimmy dropped the salt and swaI- lowed the water instantly Explanations were due both to the strange boy and the party

 A big hand caught him by the collar What are you making faces at?' asked rough voice. Jimmy would have liked to explain that he wasn't making faces, but only holding water in his mouth, but he couldn't without losing his chance to wish, so he kept silent
 Cant you say nothin'?" asked the man, sulkily.

ATTEMPT TO STOP BOXING
FALLS THROUGH CONTESTS

to the boxing contest advertised for to-
morrow evening, with the request that
such action be taken the law author
ICES Chapter SO of the Penal Laws of
1897 is as follows: "Affray-An ARRAY is
the fighting of two or more persons in
public place; and includes any prize fight
other premedidated contention where
no weapons are used Whoever takes
part in il, encourages or promotes an
ARRAY, or is wilfully present as specta-
tor at any prize fight or other premedi-
tated contention, shall be punished by
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars
or by imprisonment at hard labor not
more than six months"
The definition of ARRAY given In the
statute is the same as the common law
definition. Wilkes VS.. Jackson, 2 N. &
NJ, 355; O'Neill VS.. State, 16 Ala, Go. The
title of the chapter. ARRAY restricts
IL, / think, to fighting. The words cor
other premeditated contention, are
clearly used for the purpose of prevent
ing an evasion of the spirit of the law
by any technical or narrow construction
of the words prize fight
The statute, in my opinion, does not
prohibit an exhibition of strength or skill
in boxing, although such exhibition may
be. of somewhat rough nature. 1t does
prohibit contest, the nature and intent
of which are to win victory by disabling
or injuring an opponent; in other words,
1 think the department should not in
terfere with this exhibition, unless it is
in the nature of fight in which il is
sought TO disable or injure an opponent;
but think a sufficient police force in the
charge of a discreet and fearless officer
should be ready to stop it peremptorily
in case it passes the limits permitted by
law. Very truly yours,
E. p DOLE.
Attorney General.
The entertainment will, therefore, be
carried through as advertised. The pro-
gram Will be as follows, commencing at
S 80 p. M: 5S4-

awarded the trophy. as 1t has been de-
cided not to have this prize competed

There is quite a lively interest In the
outcome. of this race as there are sew
eral new boats in the class which are
untried- The Sorepson and Lyle scow-
type racer was launched late Thursday
afternoon Quite number of the
yachting fraternity were on hand and
watched her for a few minutes under
sail Her trial, however. was brought
to a sudden close, for in beating out
near the marine railway she struck her
r1dder on the track carrying it away.
She then made a mad rush for one or
the boat houses and had it not been
for the quick act of one Of her crew
in jumping overheard and holding her
she would have come to grief.
She showed great speed in the light
wind. was quick In stays, and should
be able to show her heels to the others
in her class. She was built from plans
in the Rudder and Is of the Swallow
type These boats have proved very
fast. AS the plans have been followed
exactly in every particular the local
bird should prove as speedy as her sis
tiers across the sea c. ID. Walker has
a new craft, and this with the Princess
will make three new racers. 1t is to be
hoped there will be a fine breeze and
that the yachts will have every oppor-
turity of sailing a good race.
Clarence Crabbe OF the Regatta COM
rnittee will have charge of the race
and will go down on the first train to-
morrow morning and will be taken to

Accepted

Washington, Nov. 10. Secretary
he had a long conference on the subject
Of Cuba with Secretary Hay. Beyond
the general statement that the confer
ence related to Cuban reciprocity and
the other matters included in the Platt
amendment, it was impossible to ev-
tract any information as to what took
place 1t is known that no conclusive
step has been taken within the last
few days. 1t is gathered now that the
presence of General Bliss, who is going
to Havana to assist the state depart
ment in preparing the treaty, was sug-
gested by President Palma, and that
it also is acceptable to Minister Squiers.
The negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty having been removed from
Washington to Havana and being tech
nically now in the hands of Mister
Squiers, SO far as the United States is
concerned, he is in need of assistance
! when treating such complex matters as
| tariff schedules.
Reports from Cuba are to the effect
| that the Cubans are divided upon the
question of reciprocity. The Cuban
| senate is reported TO be favorable to
| the treaty as offered with a few minor
! changes, ana there IS no DOUBT eX-
pressed that the senate will accept the
treaty when it is amended by General
| Bliss. There is trouble in the Cuban
| house which seems to be inclined to
act independently of the United States.
| General Bliss will present definite pro-
| positions from this government. He
1 will state the extreme concession which
| the United States will grant, which is
| twenty per cent. on Cuban products
| and will also give the Cubans the low
est possible rates Of concessions which
| this country will demand of Cuba. II
is expected that General Bliss will en-
| deavor to close up the negotiations
speedily, and that after his PROPOSE
| tions are made, but a very short time
| will be allowed the Cubans to reply
before the negotiations will terminate
| The opinion at the department is that
| there has been too much procastina-
ton and that the Cubans must be given
| to understand that delays will not be
| acceptable to this country.

A FAR REACHING PETITION.
Negroes in Virginia Want Congress
siOnal Vote Thrown Out.

Norfolk, Va, November 15.-In the
United States court this afternoon John
S. Wise, formerly of Virginia, now of
New York, on behalf of William H.
Jones, Edger Poe Lee and John Hill,
negroes, filed a petition against the
state board of canvassers, asking the
court to restrain the board from can
vassing the congressional vote of the
state on the oath instant
The board is composed of Governor
Montague, David Q. Eggleston, secre-
tary of the commonwealth, Morton
Marye, auditor of public accounts, Ash
er w. Harman, Jr., treasurer and Will
liam \. Anderson, attorney general
The petitioners two of whom claim to
be tax payers and able to read and
write, and the third to have fought for
the United States in the Indian war,
allege that they were refused registra-
ton under the new constitution, which
they claim is invalid and which con-
fiicts with the constitution of the Unit
ed States. The petitioners can be join
ed by any man white or black in the
state who claims he was entitled to
registration and was refused. The pc
tition was argued before Judge Waddill
beginning at l o'clock this afternoon.
If he grants the petition, the entire
congressional vote of the state will be
held UP until the matter is argued. At
all events it will go to the state SUI
preme court and eventually to the court
of the United States. The petition asks
that the canvasses be restricted from
issuing certificates Of election to the
ten congressman on the ground that the
present constitution is invalid and that
the constitution of 1869 is yet in effect.
Judge Waddill reserved his decision.
