HAVANA, March 25.-The trials be- fore the audiencia court of the cases arising from the embezzlement of Gu ban postal funds have resulted in the following sentences:
 c. F. W. Nicely, ten years imprison- ment and to pay fine of $56,701.

His home is in Hamilton, O., and before he received the Cuban appointment he had become well known in the politics of this coun- try. He began his public career as a detective connected with the secret service. Then he became chief of the special examiners of the pension bu- reau in Washington and afterward was appointed fourth assistant postmaster general, the man who plays the heads man among country postmasters.

Violet Mouth wasn.

Society girls, who every now and then pick up some new fad, are in- dulging in mouth wash that each and every mothers daughter of them are willing to wager box of choco- lates on. Of course, to receive the stamp of approval, it must need to have the word violet in it some place, and so the girls have called it violet mouth wash" It is made in this manner: Take of orris root ex- tract one-half pint, of esprit de rose one-half pint, half-pint of spirit, and a few drops of otto of almonds. The latter amount depends largely upon ones taste, but five drops is the usual amount. Shake we'll and incorporate thoroughly. Rinse the mouth well with this after eating.- Detroit. Free Press.

WHY SHE WASN'T woRRIRD-
But the Conductor Was When He Sound Out He Had Made 6 Rt
 diculous BIunder.

A refined woman, middle-aged and dressed in black, hailed a Columbus avenue car at Seyenty-second street, and, first lifting q boy of perhaps six or eight to the platform, entered, made her way to about the middle of the car, and took the only vacant seat. The boy, having no seat, went to the front of the car, and, grasping the door handles, looked contentedly and earnestly out at the motorman, relates the New Y ork Times.
 In moment the conductor stood before the woman. She handed him a nickel.
 "A fare for the boysS' said the con- ductor.
 T pay only for myself" said the woman, closing her purse and settling back comfortably.
 But the boy is large enough for a fare," said the conductor.
 Again the woman said quite sweet ly: T am paying only my own fare, Z and resumed an air of quiet comfort, as if the incident were closed.
 The conductor made the third att tempt with so much severity that the other passengers grew interested. The woman simply maintained the quiet air and asked not to be both cred.
 The conductor went to the rear platform and busted himself with those who were coming on or leav- ing the car. At length, at Ninety first street, he made another attempt, this time with some roughness.
 Are you going to pay a fare for that boy?" he demanded.
 s'I am not" was the gentle reply.
 'Then I must ask you to get off the car," said the conductor.
 T wanted to get off at Ninety-sec- ond street, if you will kindly stop the car," answered the woman, sweetly.
 The bell rang; the car stopped; the woman made her way to the crossing; the small boy stood watching the mo- torman. The conductor hurried to him and said: Your mother has just got off, hurry up." Then the young ister spoke up.
 .That ain't my mother" he said s'My mothers to home. That woman just boosted me on."
 Then he took a nickel out of his mouth and paid his fare like little man.
