Impressions of Havana.

A letter received from s. B. Emer-
son records some of the incidents eX-
perienced by the party of which he is
a member on the tempestuous voyage
from Port Tampa, Fla, to Havana.
The Olivet, on which the party sailed,
dropped anchor in Havana harbor in
full view of the wreck of the Maine,
whose top mast still stands in the
midst of the polluted waters of the
harbOr. AS the waters were stirred
up by the numerous small craft the
sense of smell was enough to show
their nature. After landing, passes
were secured from United States
Headquarters, and sightseeing began
The Cristobal Colon cemetery. where
the victims of the Maine disaster
were buried, was an interesting
point visited "a singular feat
ure of this cemetery is that the lots
are not sold, but simpy leased and
when the rent is not paid promptly,
the bodies are taken up and placed in
the bone ward" which is an indis-
criminate dump in one corner of the
ground OF the general impression
gained, Mr.. Emerson says: THE
country surrounding Havana bears a
striking resemblance to manv places
in New England. The pastures are
green and trees of various kinds
abound The cattle look sleek and
well fed, and the horses are a marvel:
have never seen such loads drawn by
a single horse, taking the size of the
horse into account, as | saw yesterday.
The huge cactus hedges are also a
feature of this country; some of them
are 10 feet high and absolutely cattle
proof The soil about the city is
very fertile. In some sections the
surface is one solid bed of lime rock.
Red tile roofs, and the absence of
chimneys give the place a strange
and foreign appearance. The people,
while nominaly friendly to the United
States, would evidently prefer to gov
crn their own country, in their own
way provided they could be let alone. ;
A New England Yankee will not need
to remain here very long to discover
that between the local policemen and
the United States soldiers, the latter
are his best friends, at present The
city is in good condition, so far
as cleanliness is concerned. Early
this morning an army of street sweep
ers were at work, cleaning the streets
and they went at it as if they were
loyal to their occupation, or were UNI
der competent supervision, or both
To-day is Sunday, but business goes on
apparently the same as on any other
day. Whatever else may be said OF
Havana, she is not slow"

Rev. DR.. Sterrett of Columbia Univer-
sity, who is very fond of golf, was play
ing not long ago with Chief Justice Har-
Ian, so the story goes. 1t was the minis
ters turn to play. After carefully going
over his stock of clubs he selected one
steadied himself and took careful aim
After two or three preliminary waves he
made a terrific swipe-tore up about a
foot of earth-and missed the ball He
dropped his hands to his knees and look
ed steadily for fully two minutes at the
hole he had made in the ground. Then,
with a long-drawn sigh, he raised his
head The chief justice looked him in
the face and, slowly shaking his head,
said Doctor that was the most pro-
fame silence I ever listened to-"

Every little while Commodore Tatnall.
L. $. n, gets credit for originating the
familiar expression. Blood is thicker
than water" 1t is true the commodore
used the phrase very aptly and with great
effect. when he went to the assistance of
the British squadron when hard pressed
off the coast of China many wears ago.
But he never claimed 10 be it's author. In
Scott's Guy Mannering," Battle Nicoll
Jarvie makes use of 1t. "Weel. wee. -
said Mr.. Jarvie, "bluid's thicker than wa
ter; and it lies ma in kith, kin and ally. TO
see notes in ilka's others cen if other cen
see them no." But Sir Walter was not
the originator of the expression. though
it is frequently ascribed to him. 1t is
said to have been a common proverb of
the seventeenth century, and is found in
Ray and other collections.

The Rutland Herald's View.
Rutland Herald, Tuesdav.1

The heir of the ruling house of Vermont
entered the arena last week through semi
official announcements in various parts OF
the state that he is a candidate for gov
ernor. This week opens with the news
that DR.. w. Seward Webb has withdrawn
from the contest. The letter containing
the doctors decision was addressed to
Former Governor +. c. Smith at st. AL
bans. according to one authority. The
wondering voter will now cast an eye
wstfully toward next week with its pos
sibllity of the withdrawal of the other
candidate for governor, Gen. Mccullough
q. M Barber. the generals fellow towns
man and political adviser, told a repre-
sentative of the Herald yesterday after
noon that Mccullough will fight to a finish
Friends of the latter candidate in various
parts of the state communicated Vigor-
ously with one another by phone yester-
day after the Webb letter had been noised
about, and they generally agreed not to be
alarmed. a Proctor adherent with sun
dry good avenues of information open to
him made the prediction yesterday that
Fletcher ID. Proctor would receive the
unanimous nomination of the Republican
state convention for governor. This would
mean the ultimate withdrawal of McCul-
Tough or a wholesale desertion of him by
his followers before the balloting begins
If this is correct we have the Proctor
plan of battle, which is no battle at all,
but a royal progress through the state,
the heir apparent being attended by the
nobility of Vermont. Thus suddenly has
the scene been changed at the pleasure
of the heir apparent and the parent of the
heir,

Proctor Movement a Healthy Sign.
Boston Transcript

ON the whole. the Proctor movement
must be regarded as healthy sign of
indcH eudence and a regard for home in
terests. While the Nermonters are not al
together unsusceptible to tempting inllu-
ences, they have generally been able i'm
the past To draw the line inside of reck-
less abandonment of their self-respect
Thus, they defeated the attempt of re-
cent governor to pass bill making the
state an asylum for distressed million
aires and encouraging immigration of
that class at the expense of those not so
fortunate as to be possessed of great
wealth that had to be concealed or heav-
lily taxed. The latest move indicates that
they are still disposed to make Vermont
the home of Nermonters.
