BACK NUMBERS.
SENATOR HOAR's BOOK.


have just finished reading the eau
photography of Seventy Years" by Geo.
F. Hoar, senior United States Senator
from Massachusetts, and agree with a
review read previously that the two
large volumes might well have been
compressed into one. | find it some
thing of coincidence that l entered
upon the duties of Washington CORE
spondent few weeks after Mr.. Hoar
took his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and what he says of public
men and events from that time until
ten years later is specially interest
ing to me. But even here Mr.. Hoar
leaves much unsaid. and what he does
say might be greatly condensed to ad-
vantage. He has not the literary fac
ulty of Mr.. Blaine and his portraits of
men instead of being outlined by a few
short, sharp sentences are so overlaid
with words that the impression left is
blurred and indistinct. The one ex-
ception is Gen. Butler, to whom he de-
votes chapter, and who is shown up
in what most people will consider his
true colors. In reading of Mr.. Hoar's
first ten years in Washington l cannot
help thinking how much better one OF
the leading correspondents of that day
could have covered this period. Ben:
Perley Poore did put in book form his
impressions of life ,in Washington dur
ing lis long service there. He was the
next friend of Senator Summer and
on terms of close intimacy with many
public men. But | believe no one of
the correspondents then, or since, has
been III such close touch with SO many
public men as the late George W. Adj
ans. He began his Journalistic career
wits Henry Watterson-they were
both reporters on a Washington daily
at tie muniticent salary of 50 week
and was the first Washington CORE
spondent OF the New York World. \
man OF excellent judgment and rare
executive ability he would have filled
anv Office with credit. He was mas
ter of clean cut. vigorous English, and
could have given such an inside history
OF events in Washington leading up to
the Rebellion. during the war; recon
struction. and later, as | believe no
other man could write. 1t probably
never occurred to him during his active
career to undertake this, and death re-
moved him when he was in his prime.
But to return to Senator Hoar. His
second volume is largely devoted to
recording his trips abroad. and to the
part he took in national legislation. In
a literary way | do not think he has
made the most of his opportunities in
meeting European celebrities, but pos
sibly my recollection of the very enter
tanning letters from abroad by n. p.
Willis, many years ago, may have in
huenced my judgment. The book will
of course be of great interest to MI.
Hoars family and personal friends, but
vigorous use of the blue pencil would
enhance its value to the general public.

THE SPANISH SAILOR.

SPANS grim warships idly foated
In the harbor, safe and strong,
While across the sunlit waters
Drifted some old Spanish song;
Such as sounds in streets of Madrid
Through the sultry evening air,
By the sweet guitar accompanied,
Whispering love songs.to the fair.
And the sailor, as he git,
Thought not of the coming strife;
Seemed to see, as in vision,
Pages from his early life
Thought of home and thought of kindred
Far beyond the raging main,
And his comrades listened spellbound
To the soft and thrilling strain.
As he sang there rose vision
OF his mother, old and graz,
AS he saw her last, ere sailing
From his native land away.
And the moons first beams were lighting
All the silent, sleeping earth
When he sought his humble quarters,
There to dream of home and mirth.
Morning sees the Spanish squadron
Creeping from the harbor's gate;
Sees it steam away in silence,
All unconscious of its fate.
Sudden, from Yankee warship
Booms a heavy turret gun,
And the Spaniards as they hear it
Know the battle has begun
Slowly now the sun is setting
Ger the wreck of Spanish might,
But no song is sweetly sounding
Through the silent summer night
For the singer, torn and mangled,
Lies beneath the tossing wave;
There's no voice to sound his requiem,
All unmarked the sailors grave.
Now in vain the mother watches
For the son she loved so we'll,
Dead he lies beneath the waters,
Mangled by Yankee shell.

writer does not. Of course at the Wal

an almost endless array of dishes at
each meal, but which belied their name,
as both the cooking and the food was
bad. A change was made to hotel in
another city where the old style South
ern country cooking prevailed, in which
bacon and greens and corn bread had a
part, and which was more to my taste.
But to return to the English hotels.
Landlord Ford does not mention fish,
which always has place on the Eng
lish breakfast menu. At least that was
our experience. You would have at
one Of the lesser hotels choice of two
or three kinds of fish, chops, bacon,
ham and eggs in different styles-all
good of their kind and we'll served; and
in addition the party of Yankees took
very kindly to the orange marmalade
or plum jam which are regular ingre-
dients of the English breakfast. AS to
the coffee ser we'd in England and Scot
land it can only be said that it was bet
ter than was expected.

TELLS PITIFUL TALE.
Once Wore a Heavy Steel Ring
Through His NOstriIs.
In Cuba the ManlTakes the Name
of the Woman He Marries.

Wichita. Kan, May 17.-John San,
who was slave in Cuba for twenty
six years under the tyranny of Spanish
rule, is in Wichita Every American
has heard of the vicious atrocities Of
Weyler, and San rehearses the terrible
story just as it has often been told
only ten-fold worse. San was a slave
and Weyler held the bIacksnake whip
over his body many times. These in
Elections he never forgot. and he never
win.
San has only been in this country
about three years, but he can talk
English quite plainly. He is about
nvs feet seven inches in height, and is
rather Of a dark complexion. He is
46 years of age, and has gray hair.
On his body are many scars which
were inflicted by the whip. He has on
the back of his head the stamp that
was placed there when he was en-
shaved. There are deep marks all over
his person that go to show that the
poor man has been cruelty treated.
Spanish rule knew no pity and the
thousands Of helpless Cubans who were
compelled to throw away their lives
for the sake of living under such q.
dynasty are to be placed in the hall
Of the martyrs Of the world.
San Is true Cuban. and he does not
LGGA ashamed OF MS country ne say >
that Cubans are good people and that
they all would like to be under the
American government. Roosevelt,
Sampson and Scnley are all heroes, be-
loved and famous, to the Cuban. Even
the little children speak of the brave
American soldiers and the hearts of
the old Cuban slaves swell with pride
when the Stars and Stripes are fioated
over their humble huts.
The fact that there is a Cuban slave
in Wichita is somewhat of a curiosity.
AS a demonstration of how the Span
ish treated him he showed the holes in
his nostrils through which a heavy
steel ring was fastened and to that a
weighty chain. It is too horrible to
relate and even San, himself, almost
Weeps as he talks of the past.
What is still more pitiful than any
of the past of his life is the condition
in which he has been thrown since
coming to Wichita. He is without
work and claims that he cannot find
any. He is willing to work, but cannot
stand hard labor. His infections, done
by the Spanish, have weakened him
and he has grown old much speedler
than a. person who mas been free the
greater part of his life.
He has never been married and his
relatives are mostly dead. His grand
fathers name was Beattte. This was
his fathers father. When asked how it
came that his grandfatner's name was
Beattie and his San, he explained that
il was on account of marital customs
1t is the custom in Cuba for a man to
take the name of the woman that he
marries Thus his name San.
San will probably go on exhibition
during the street fair mere this week
His friends are prevailing upon such a
movement, and if he does he will be
quite an attraction. San is a shrewd
man and above all things, polite. He
is a great admirer of Americanlsm,
and loves to talk of the glory OF the
American navy and army.

BIG FRUIT CROP.
Doniphan County Growers See a Pros
porous Year Ahead.

Troy, Kan, May 17.-Present indiea-
tons are that the fruit crop in Doni-
phan county is assured. Especially is
there promise of good crop of peach
es, blackberries, strawberries, raspber-
r1es and cherries. Doniphan county has
greater number of fruit trees than
any other county in Kansas. LeaVen-
worth county is second There are 400
about 800 acres in strawberries, black
berries and raspberries in Doniphan.
Fruit growing has become a business
and general farming a diversion.
Less than a score of years ago the
country along the river was wild. The
bluffs seemed unSuitabl for cultivation
and were covered only with hazel and
furze thickets where wolves and wild
turkeys found retreat. Now all is
changed, and where once the wild fox
dug his hole unsecured" orchards dot
the hills and small fruits, among the
finest in the world, and with a profus-
ion that rivals western New York and
the middle states, adorn these bluffs
once regarded as unworthy or reclama-
ton.
Fruit farming has been reduced to
ard. Experience has demonstrated
that the small orchard properly cared
for is better than a large lot of tim
Der allowed to run to seedlings. Only
the choicest varieties are grown: hence
the highest market prices rule for prod
ucts.
There is a regular rotation of crops
on the best regulated fruit farms The
small fruits, strawberries, raspberries
and blackberries, cherries, plums, peach
es and apples follow in procession, each
bringing its shower of gold to the pro-
ducers.
Many of the growers occupy little
tracts Of ten acres or less, and yet, as
the years go by, these small farmers
are gaining a competency for them
selves and families
At Wathena as many as six express
cars of blackberries have been sent out
in one day The territory north and
south of Wathena is inhabited by pros
porous Germans who settled in Donf-
phan county in the pioneer days and
who have seen the wild hills developed
into the best fruit country in the west.
The leading fruit growers in the coun-
try are Charles E. Brown, NJ. J. Rhue,
Albert Perry, George T. Wood John B.
Kennedy and r. H. MONTGOMERY

THE BREAD BAKERS.
over 800 Hutchinson Contestants Try
for Prizes.

Hutchinson, Kas.. May 17.-One of
the most unique as we'll as the most
deiiR,htful events of the sort that ever
occurred in Hutchinson was the for
NAL opening of the Forsha office
building. The firms that occupy this
building set apart the afternoon to re-
ceive their friends, and Mr.. Forsha
made It the opportunity of further in
PRODUCING the flour made by his mill
ing company. In doing this he in
auRurated a bread baking contest, in
which there were upward of 500 en-
tries.
While this was the feature of the
opening, yet all the firms who have
of7ces in the building participated in
ths function by giving the callers
souvenirs. These firms comprise the
Fontron Realty Co, the u. S. Express
Co. Moore Bros, the Forsha Milling
Co, the Fair association, through its
secretary, A. L. Sponsler, and Judge
Y. N. Anderson. The Forsha Milling
company gave each lady a china plate
upon which was served a sandwich
press company gave a flower to each
caller. The Fontron Realty company
gave a neat little picture or some
similar souvenir, and the others gave
little mementoes of the visit that
caused many "Ohs!" and "ahs.'
1t was the array of bread submitted
in the contest that caught the eye of
the lady visitors, however. 1t is safe
to say that never was a finer exhibit
of the culinary art made in Hutchin-
son. No one could see it and doubt
that the city and county are filed
with good cooks. Two loaves of each
sample was submitted. One of these
was exhibited intact and the other
was cut in halves. so that the judges
