THE GENEROUS KEENE.
ae Pays an Old Blind Mans subscrip-
ton to His Paper.

Some days ago while Jack "Culber-
SON. Keene, the Magician who will
exhibit here next week, was III q
newspaper office making arrangements
for advertising his exhibition, an old
colored man, who was afflicted with
blindness entered the office to renew
his subscription to the paper. He
told the editor of the paner that he
was not able at that time to pay for
the whole wear but that he would paw
so cents on 1t and at the end of the
six months would pay the other half.
Without saying any thing to the old
man, Keene placed half dollar on
the counter and told the editor TO
give him credit for year.
This may be some of Keene's magic
but more than likely it was done
through the kindness of his heart.
Such acts of kindness have been done
by Keene before and they no d., ubt
have won for him a great many
friends. These charitable acts seldom
go unrewarded.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR RESTORATION OF COR
DIAL RELATIONS BEGUN IN
WASHINGTON.

Washington. Aug. 4-Negotiatons have been
opened in Washington for the establishment Of
cordial relations between the governments of
Colombia and Nicaragua. Ministers Concha, OF
Colombia and Corea, OF Nicaragua. are carrying
on the negotiations The movement grows out
nf the suspicion with which these two countries
have of late viewed each other. Colombia has
asserted that Nicaragua is responsible for much
of the trouble the Isthmus of Panama. that
expeditions have formed on Nicaraguan soil,
and that the Nicaraguan port Of Cortnto Is
base of revolutionary operations against Co.
lomha. There have been strong intinations
that Colombia would adopt counter steps by
inva sion of Nicaraguan soil. Now, however.
there are good prospects that the negotiations
opened in Washington will lead to mutual
plana tons and apologies and TO an agreement
by which each will rigidly respect the laws of
neutrality and the rights Of the other.

Roslyn. Long Island. Aug. An offer has
been made TO the town of North Hampstead of
$4,000 for the towns right, title and interest
in Success Lake by William K. Vanderbilt, jr.
through his attorney Frederick Ingraham, of
No. 1872 Broadway. Manhattan The offer TO
purchase not only includes the lake but also
three rights of way owned by the town which
interfere with the absolute control Of the lake
and it's shore front
Mr.. Vanderbilt has succeeded in gaining con-
troll of all the real estate bordering on the lake.
excepting the three rights of way referred to.
Hence the offer to purchase the lake and the
rights of way controlled by the town Nothing
can be done by the town without legislative ac-
ton. The town trustees Custodians of all
common lands in the town, are powerless. as
under the statute creating the board and speci-
flying its powers that body has no power to
sell outright any of the common lands or the

It is probable that the legislature will be
