Telling the Bees.

The curious custom of telling
the bees" is observed in some parts
of nearly every country in the
world. Those who observe the Gus
tom always go to the beehives and
tap gently on each one, then stoop
and whisper under the cap or lid
that Mary, Jane, Thomas or Will
liam is dead. This is done to keep
the little honey makers from forsak-
ing their place of abode should they
have to wait and find out the news
of the calamity themselves. The
custom is alluded to in Whittiers
poem "Telling the Bees"

Surgeons Knife Not Needed.

Surgery is no longer necessary to
cure piles. De Wits Witch Hazel
Salve cures such cases at once, re-
moving the necessity for dangerous
painful and expensive operations.
For scalds, cuts, burns, wounds,
bruises, sores, and skin diseases it is
unequalled. Beware of counterfeits.

The Musician and His Notes.

Once upon time very mean
man employed a musician to play
sweet music for him.
After some time the player asked
his employer for compensation for
his services and was put off with a
fair promise. Then, after a time,
he asked again, with a similar re-
suit. Then a third time he asked
and insisted on receiving his pay.

pay you % asked the man.

A Good CRATER.

About three years ago young man
appeared in town by the way of the
side-door Pullman, or perhaps he
"hiked," He was a member of the
"pot" gang that usually make their
headquarters in the vicinity Of
depots. His first position was at the
mill, and after a couple of months
work and little money he blossomed
out like Wall street Prince."-and
that was certainly to his credit. He
managed to keep up this place right
along-by ths aid of number of the
"boys" who became his friends.
Some of the young ladies also
thought the young man was very
nice fellow. Well, he made his de-
parture very suddenly on Wednesday
evening. He was out roaming around
with his friends til about 10 o'clock.
when he made his escape, with a$15
King George overcoat that a friend
had let him take to play joke on one
of the ''boys." The joke worked all
right-on the friend who owned the
coat. In leaving the village he forgot
to pay the following: One hotel bill,
two livery bills, two store bills, one
mon his room rent, aud what he was
able to get from the "boys." His
home is said to be in Minneapolis.

A Real Loss,

A gentleman who knew Bronson
Howard when he was a boy in De-
troit met him in New York one day
and asked him if it we're true, as
he had heard, that William Winter
had been a very bitter critic of his
early plays, but that the sting had
been extracted from his pen by
dinner at which some of their mu-
tual friends had managed to bring
them together.

blnat1OnS. ln9c0 can no uO uOuOG
that many of the thoughtful men OF
the country look with much suspicion
and anxiety upon the influence being
exerted by these vast corporations in
the United States. The heads of
these institutions are men of exper-
fence and wide influence who stop at
hardly anything which is to their own
advantage.
Upward of thirty years ago, the
late Senator Cushman K. Davis, then
a rising young lawyer in St. Paul, de-
livered very interesting address to
the students of the University of
Minnesota, entitled Modern Feudal'
ism. The lecture attracted a great
deal of attention, AMI led to his enter"
irg public life as candidate for
governor of the state shortly there
after At the present time, Senator
Davis address reads like prophecy
The concluding paragraphs were as
follows:
"Feudalism, with it's domains, it's
untaxed lords, their retainers, its ex-
emptions and privileges, made wal
upon the aspiring spirit Of humanity
and fell centuries ago with it's feudal
grandeur. But its spirit walks the
earth today and haunts our institu-
tons, in the great corporations, with
their control of the national highways,
their occupation of great domain,
their power to tax and to escape tax
alton, their sorcery to debase most
gifted men to the capacity of most
splendid slaves, their pollution of the
ermine of the Judge and the robe of
the senator, their aggregation in one
man of wealth so enormous as to
make Croesus seem pauper.
"The DOOR fisherman, told of in the
Arabian Nights, threw his net into
the sea, and drew up casket covered
with rust and slime and closed down
with the seal of Solomon. He took
it in his hands. and, holding it to his
ear, he heard the voice of the spirit
within, telling in tones of
enchanting sweetness how he, the
poor, miserable fisherman, if he would
release the prisoner, might sway the
sceptre of power, might revel in all
sensuous delights might command
all the riches hidden by earth or sea.
The foolish fisherman broke the
seal by which the wisest of men had
confined the enemy of mankind and
10! there rose from the casket cloud
which lowered to heaven,
and which, at last, condensed into an
awful malignant demon: who stood
dilated to the skies. The fisherman
lured the devil into his prison, closed
the seal upon him, and threw him
back into the depths. A similar task
is laid upon the present generation.''

This came in the nick of time for shorts to put in some work

 In the latter market there was an unset tied feeling and prices went off pretty sharply on reported manipulation by American bulls. a good deal of which was charged to New Orleans. Fresh buy CTS were lacking to infuse activity to the market and the long interest is ex- tensive enough to lead to liquidation on every little rise to an extent which may prevent any gain, while the bulk of the short interest has been eliminated The weather map today showed rain at Gal weston to the extent of one inch, and a fraction of an inch at Corpus Christi, New Orleans Little.

U. s. MINISTER

MIR. POWELL SUSPENDS INTER- COURSE WITH REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT AND LEAVES FOR
 HAYTI-TRoUBLE THERE ALSO.

San Domingo, Santo Domingo, May B. The United States Minister William F. Powell, owing to the situation of affairs here has suspended all intercourse with the revolutionary government and is pre- pairing to leave San Domingo for Hayti, to which country he Is also accredited. His departure is due to the grave diff faculties existing in Hayti, where a reyo- 1ution Is said to be in progress. The change of government here has put stop to the steps taken by Mir. Powell to arrange a settlement of the claims of the Dominican Improvement Company of New York against San Domingo. These claims were being favorably considered by the government which has just been overthrown and were in a fair condition for settlement.
 The Dominican Congress has been dis solved and a provisional government has been formed as follows:
 Gen. Horacio Vasquez, supreme chief of the revolution; Juan Franciso Conchas, minister of foreign affairs; Emelio Tjerad, minister of finance; Migue A. Pichardo minister of war and marine; Rafael Justi- no Castillo, minister of ports and tele- graphs: Jose Marie Gabrael Baez, minis fer of justice; Jose Francisco Guzman, minister of public works; Casimore Cor dero minister of the interior and of po- lice.

cotton Letter.


 c. W. Lee 6 Co.'S Letter to H. D. Coth-
 ran & Co.
 New York May S.-The market begins to look very much as though the bull season was over. Unless something seri- ous happens to the new crop we doubt very much whether prices get back to their recent level. As long as the situa- ton continues as it is there should be. money in selling cotton on every bulge. As the new crop Is looking well, pros poets brilliant in fact, SAC Is good price There may be some move made in, July that would render short selling there unavoidable, but we can see nothing to warrant buying of August on at present prices The New Orleans crowd have be- gun to weaken. This. may develop into something later on Spinners abroad are well supplied with cotton and there Is a big stock in Liverpool. While interior stocks here are 0000 bales, or half of last year, the port stock Is about the same. We believe the crop will prove in excess of 10, AGO, 900 and with fairly nor nal season enough cotton may come in in August to raise the figures to 10,6 GOO.
 When cotton now held in stock in New Orleans, Liverpool and turned over to holders of contracts and there is the prospect of a good crop next fall things will begin to look very differently and Sc may readily seem a high price. We can not build at this price in spring of the year and believe prices will work lower. In the event of a good break tomorrow there will doubtless be a turn of several points.
