THICK IN CUBA
Minneapolis Tourists Invade the Island
in Large Numbers.

"Minneapolttans were to be- seen every
where in Cuba this winter" says Will
liam Hooker, who has just returned from
the island. ''There were more people in
Havana from this city than from any
other city in the United States, and at
some of the hotels it was almost like be-
ing at home, except, Of course, for the
climate. In the hotel at which T was
stopping there were twenty-four guests
from Minneapolis at one time, and there
must have been hundreds in Havana from
December to March.
"Our people are also to be found in the
various American colonies and the cities.
At TIeiradura, where there is a large COL
ony, I visited the Storms, L. E. and
Arthur B., the grain men, and w. H.
Marley, formerly associated with me in
business. They have fine homes in
delightful country. The Americans are
introducing strawberries, Irish potatoes
and other fruits and vegetables known in
this country, and it looks as if strawber-
ries and potatoes will do well. Why the
Cubans haven't tried them long ago is
more than can understand. The pota-
toes had at Heiradura were equal to any
I have eaten in Minnesota. r
"For the present Cuba is prospecting.
Cane sugar is away up, the prevailing
price being $3.50 hundred. AS there is a
profit at 81. the planters are now in
clover

GUESTS AT WEST TRY
TO CLIMB UP WALLS

A mail carrier was held up at the
point of a gun at noon today, in the
West hotel. People standing about
the office looked for cover, and in
second only the mail carrier and the
man behind the gun could be seen.
81 swore I'd shoot the next mail car
rier that came in sight, said the hold
up man, while he proceeded to relieve
the carrier Of all the mail addressed to
the house, and throw it on the counter
behind which three clerks were in hid
ing.
Still fourishing the revolver he
turned the mail carrier about and or
dered him to mark for the door. "When
you get ten PAGES away l will fire, ~
said the hold-up. A few daring ones
took a look to see what was doing, and
then breathed sigh Of relief. The
artist with the gun was full face to-
than Chief Clerk "Denny" Conry Of
the hotel. The weapon he used in hold
ing up the mail carrier was a small
ink we'll, made in perfect imitation Of
an ordinary 80 caliber nickel-plated re-
volver. One side of the cylinder
opens and shows the ink receptacle.
"Yous guys from New York are
easy, - said the smiling "Denny" as he
resumed his customary Quaker Oats
to crawl out Of hiding, "Me and the
mail carrier put up that job, and l
guess it WASH It so worse after all. -

OUT OF PLUMB
inspectors Find Fault With Elevator
Shaft Of City jail.


Shaft Of City jail.
It may be several weeks before the new
city jail on the fifth floor of the city hall
can be used. The jail elevator was fin
ished a few days ago and the building in
spector was asked to make the usual ex-
animation. One Of his deputies, in COM
pany with William Robertson. the con-
sulting engineer, examined the work and
found that altho the elevator had been
constructed in accordance with the ordi-
nance, the shaft was not plumb. At the
bottom the car Is nearly six inches nearer
the side Of the shaft than at the top.
Altho the car can be used without any
particular danger the engineers do not
like the arrangement, and will take the
matter up with the municipal building
commission. Just what course will be
taken is not known, but it is feared that
some cyerhauling will be necessary

The History Of a Diamond.

The editor of the New, York Press,
who seems to be intimately acquainted
with diamonds, has been specializing on
the probable value of the thirty or six
ty-pound specimen lately found in South
Africa, and deprecating the placing Of
an exorbitant price upon it. If the
Press is "bearing'' the value of this
rock with a view to acquiring it for
the editorial shirtfront we promise to
keep out Of the way and not bid upon
it, on one condition, however, and that
is that he will explain what he means
by saying that Butcher took the Pitt
diamond from the sword of Napoleon at
Waterloo. Historians have uniformly
failed to note this interesting episode.
They do not say that Butcher ever got
near enough to Napoleon to get his
sword away from him nor is it known
that Napoleon lost his sword. on the
field. The Encyclopedias Americana, a
recent and probably trustworthy work
admits that the Pitt or Regent diamond
once decorated the hilt Of Napoleon
sword, but says it now reposes in the
Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre.
