A Spaaiard was arrested on the s5th
just as he was about to embark for
New York, and Julian Cendoya, Jr.,
declared that he was one of the san
dts, but the senior Cendoya and an
other brother disagreed, and the man
was released Pineiro was positively
identified by the three male Cendoyas,
each picking him out Of a row OF six
Spaniards. This was the cause of
pineiros breakdown. Pineiro forWer-
ly sold brass and copper to Mr.. Cen
doyas business house, he having Sc
cured the metal from the wretXed
Spanish warships outside the ha.oor
of Santiago. During the hold-up he
appeared partly intoxicated, as he
flourished his revolver wildly about his
head, and took particular delight in
terrifying nearly to death Thompson,
the negro American butler of Mr.. Cen
doya.
All OF the bandits are believed to
be workers in the copper mines of El
Cobre, near Santiago
The question was asked of James z,
Ward & Co. if the firm would pay any
part of money thus obtained from their
Santiago agent. The answer was:
mo; there is no reason why Wa
should. It was personal matttc be-
tween the agent and the robbers. We
have nothing to do with it, and do
not figure in the affair in any way"

Among the latest inventions patent
ed is contrivance which, fitted to an
ordinary sewing machine, will fan and

An Italian engineer has invented a
successful elevator for raising sunken

chambers of canvas and wire, each
equal to a lifting capacity Of 60 tons,
and 1t is possible to attach as many Of
these as may be necessary.
Silicon, the most abundant metal In
the world, but hitherto little known

RIGHT SORT OF HOUSE.
The Kind That Keeps to Morris Idea,
of describing Everything Lack
ing in Baauty or Utility.

One of the eternal quiseions is this:
How shall we, on our incomes, make oul
home as we want it?
The characteristics desired are com
fort, convenience and measure o!
beauty. To attain the last is usually the
hardest problem. Some few are able &c
build their own homes planning every
room and nook according to their idea
but most people must live in houses OF
fats built by others-rarely persons oi
artistic susceptibility-and it is there
that the woman needs most the exercise
Of thought and ingenuity if she would
have her home consistent and fine ex,
preston of herself. She is responsible
for it-often her very character will be
judged by the imprint which her indi.
viduality has left upon it-and 1t is hel
part to make her environment an adorn
ment by which she may be fairly judged
In this connection let me say that cos
has nothing to do with it. A pretty ant
harmoniously decorated home does no
necessarily mean the outlay of largt
sums Of money, 1t does mean larg
outlay of rightly directed thought an,
care, and with this howell might almos
be beautiful.
Decorating can be done artisticall
without following rigidly all the rule
of high art" but there must always b
found fitness, proportion, simplicity
harmony and durability in every HON
which pretends to beauty.
Have nothing Tin your house, whic
you do not know to be useful or whic
you do not believe to be beautiful"
The famous rdle of William Morri
should be emblazoned on the mind of a
would-be house decorators. If it wey

large cities, what tons and tons of brit

1t is just this tenacious clinging to ugI
and usless things which gives so man

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts

A gentleman who has acquired
judicial turn of mind from expert
ence on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State, writes carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature In our
bill of fare
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
ut has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has, enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food
Grape Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as q preventive OF
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the bene-
fetal effects of Grape-Nu when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. = It
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power OF resisting fatigue, while
Its use involves none Of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-

woman confederate blockade runner,
died at her home near here, aged 81.
She descended from the princess of
Ulster, was related to Admiral Semmes,

women in the south. During the civil
war she was one Of the most daring
runners of the underground railroad"
between Washington and Richmond,
and once defied whole company of
clothes, money and letters through the
lines from prison and prisoners. At one
time she had delivered to her $4,000
In bank notes to keep for an indi-
vidual, who was in hiding. She placed
it in a hassock, folding it away among
the material with which tho hassock
