Got His Answer.

When Oscar Wilde came to the
United States to lecture on aesthet-
les in his highly aesthetic velvet cos
tume-and incidentally to prepare the
public mind for the proper apprecia-
tion of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pa
tience," in which the aesthetic move
ment was held up to ridicule-he used
to complain that America was very un-
interesting since it had mo antiquf-
ties and no curiosities." But he ven
tured on this disparagement once too
often, for in the course of his travels
he uttered it to the American Girl,
and she replied with the demure de-
pravity of candid innocence that this
was not quite a fair reproach, since
Eve shall have the antiquities in
time. and we are already importing
the curiosities."

Night Behind Bars for First

and Mann's two brothers, both of
whom are widely known farmers OF

While, several hundred visitors
were attending the Chautauqua here
a rain came up making it impossible
for the visitors to go to their homes.
Every hotel and rooming house was
filled leaving many with no place to

no prisoners, offered a free nights
lodging to all who held no scruples
against sleeping behind bars.

MARTIAL LAW FOR MANAGUA?
AMERICAN TROOPS TO PROTECT
FOREIGNERS.
WeitzeI to Assume Charge of
Soldiers.

Washington, D. C.-Unless condi-
tions in Nicaragua materially i'm
prove Immediately the United States
will order Minister Weitzel to take
charge of the government and, with
the aid of $50 marines and 100 blue
jackets already in Managua, proclaim
martial law.
Long experience with Latin-Ameri-
can republics has shown the state de-
partment that too much leniency is a
dangerous thing and, while President
Taft is welded to ideas of peace and
diplomacy, even he admitted to
Secretary Knox that something should
be done at once.
Accordingly, the state department
wired Minister WeitZel to assume con-
troll of the American troops in Mic
aragua, moving them as he thought
best for the protection of foreigners
and their property, and even using
them to attack the rebels should they
attempt to lombard the foreign por-
ton of Managua.
Owing to the difficulties Of COM
munication nothing further reached
the state department concerning this
threat.
In addition to the 450 sailors and
marines already at Managua, Weitzel
will have the aid of 300 sailors from
the Denver which has already sailed
from San Diego, Cal, for Corinto.

scores of lives. A fire broke out in
the switchboards, which put the ex-

the building greatly. Smoke and
tongues of flames burst out of the
boards, but the girls stood to their

til Mrs. Parrish gave the word to go.
They then descended the stairs in
perfect order, to be greeted by a
cheer by the crowd which had gath
