HEB. FINANCIAL ' DISTRESS.

The Three Friends Reported to Have
Landed Another Expedition—The Cap-
tain of the Laurada Arrested
and Released 0: Ball.

LONDON, Sept. 11. — The Financial
Times advises Spain to let Cuba go. If.
not and the expenditure goes on at the
same rate for a year or two longer, it says it
will mean bankruptcy for Spain and chaos
for Cuba. '

The Ubiquitous Three Friends.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1 .-—-A dispatch '
to The Press says that the famous filibus—
ter, the Three Friends, which left Jack-
sonville eight days ago with munitions
and men for Cuba, has landed the expedi-
tion and is now en route home. The Three
Friends appeared off Key West, and, after
sending ashore Dr. Castillo, who went
along as manager of the expedition, pro-
ceeded to Jacksonville. According to Dr.
Castillo, the expedition was landed on
Monday night on the south coast cf‘Pinar
del Rio province and was met by adetach-
ment from Antonio Maceo’s army. The
vessel put ashore 3,000 rifles, 100,000 car-
tridges, 600 pounds of stick dynamite and
3 cannon. besides a great quantity of cloth-
ing and shoes. Nearly 100 men were also
landed. among them being Hugh Stevens,
Frank Kirksey, and Frank Key of Jack-
sonville.‘ The ammunition was greatly
needed by Maceo, as his supply was about
exhausted. Dr. Castillo says that it is
Macao’s intention to leave Pinar del Rio
as soon as a favorable opportunity offers.

It is said that this is the second of a
series of six expeditions which the Cuban
junta will send to Cuba during Septem-
ber, as it is the intention of Macao and
Gomez to force the fighting from now on.

this port for Cuba on Aug. 6 with a cargo
of war material for the, insurgents, drop-
ped anchor 03 Reedy island today.

Captain Murphy Arrested.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 11.—The fruit steam-
er Bernard, from Jamaica, brings the fol-
lowing news concerning the steamship
Laurada: “After her arrival at Port An-
tonio, Aug. 24, from Wilmington, Del.,
the voyage consuming 18 days, the cus-
toms authorities discovered that Captain
Murphy had apparently falsified his move-
ments between the ports, and he was ar«
rested. The arrest came about by the,
finding of several rifles on board the vessel
which had not been accounted for on the
ship’s papers. It leaked out that while
the Laurada was carrying out arms and
ammunition, several of the colored crew
beached the cargo and stole the arms.
This led to the information that the Lau-
rada had made a point in the island of
Navassa, where she was met by a fast tug,
which unloaded the Laurada in three trips.
Where the tug, which was said to be very
fast, landed the arms and ammnltion is
not known, but it may have been on
Navassa island, which is under the protec-
tiOn'of the American flag. Some say the
tug went direct to Cuba with each load,
which is almost borne out by the length-
of time the Laurada had been out when
she. reached Fort Antonio. Captain Mur-
phy gave bond to appear later."

Turkey’s Latest Ruse.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 11,—The pro-
tests of the British and Italian embassies
at the deportation of Armenians have had
but little effect. The Turkish govern-
ment has sent a circular to its ministers
abroad, saying that, in view of insuring
the maintenance of order here, it has been
decided to send to their native countries
all unemployed strangers, and the provin-
cial officials have been instructed to watch
all such persons and prevent their return
to Constantinople.

Spain's Internal Troubles.

LONDON, Sept. 11.——A dispatch from
Madrid says that a band of 30 Republicans
armed with rifles made a demonstration
at Pedralua. in the province of Valencia,
but were quickly suppressed by the troops,
before whom the rioters fled. Republican
agitation also occurred in other towns.

BLAZE or A WABSHIP.

lire Comes Near Delaying the Sailing of
the Cruiser Bancroft.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 11.—Flre broke out in
the coal bunkers of the United States
cruiser Bancroft today. The cruiser is
now in the drydock at the navy yard.
She is being prepared for a trip to Con-
stantinople on next Saturday.

One of the workmen chanced to go
dowu in the bunkers. The whole hull was
filled with smoke. The workm'an ran to
the deck and yelled fire. The crew and a
number of workmen made a search of the
bunkers and discovered that the coal in
one of them was on fire. , ~

The smoke was so dense thdt the men
had trouble in working. After some of
the coal had been removed the fire was
put out. Part of the crew worked with
fire extinguishers, and the steam from the
cruiser’s boilers was turned into the
bunker where the fire was.

The damage done the cruiser is only
trifling. and it is thought that she will be
able to sail for Constantinople as scheduled.

The fire is thought to have been caused
by either naphtha or coal oil being spilled
in the coal bin. This Oil was ignited
either by heat from the boilers or a spark
dropped from a passing candle or lantern.

The officers of the cruiser say that only
the timely discOVery of the fire prevented
the ship from being badly damaged.

The fire, it is said, could hardly have
destroyed thecruiser while she was lying
in the dock, where the fire could be fought
from the land, but the heat from the blaze,
had the fire been allowed to burn for any
length of time, would have injured her
plates and warped her so that she could
not have sailed on Saturday.

As soon as the fire was extinguished the
coal was removed from the bunkers. An
examination of the plates and fittings was
then made, and it was found that they had
suffered no injury. There is a trifling
damage to the bunker in which the fire
was discovered, but none of the plates or
fittings about it had been sprung by the
heat. -

The fire caused a good deal of excite‘
ment on board the cruiser. There was
such a dense cloud of smoke in the hull
that it was thought that the whole interior
of the ship was in flames.

WHERE IS DELBRIDGE?

He Got His Life Insured For 350.000 and
. Then Disappeared.

ATLANTA, Sept. 11.—-T. J. Delbridge, a
young business man, disappeared on Tues-
day night and today friends were dragging
the old city reservoir at Lakewood for the
body, but without success. , Delbrldge had
$50,000 life insurance, $40, 000 of which he
had taken within the last few weeks. His
family think that he was drowned.

'A Cab Buns Over Him and Betrays an

 

_,.....—

MISHAP TO A SMUGGLE'R.

Ingenious Device.

,Near one of the gates leading into
Paris an old man of stout proportions
was ~seen one day wending his way.
when a. cab, driven at great speed, ap-
prcached, and as the man paid no atten-
tion to the warning cry of the Jehu, he
was knocked down and the vehicle
passed over his body, to the consterna-
tion of the spectators.

A crowd gathered round the vener«
able individual, who lay on the ground,
not in a. pool of blood, but in one of oil.
The hero of thismisadventure, who had
only been slightly stunned by the shock,
soon rosedo his feet, with. profuse
thanks for all the sympathy and com-
passion which his accident had elicited,
and then, disregarding further offers of
assistance, began to shuffle off as fast
as his legs would carry him.

One of the eyewitnesses of this cu-
rious scene went up to an employe of
the oct-roi and gave an account of the
episode, upon which the Official, run-
ning. after the victim of the accident,
extended to him a. polite invitation to
rest in his office.

“I assure you I am not- hurt,” re-
plied the Old gentleman, who displayed
great anxiety to take himself off.

“So much the better,”'replied the em-
ploye, “but I want to have a little talk
with you, all the same.”

Some gentle force was required toin-
duce the corpulent one to enter the of-
fice, but once there he was made to un-
dress, when he was found to be: almost
a. skeleton. The mystery was soon ex-
plained. He. had between his waistcoat
and this shirt 3. skin receptacle which
was capable of containing from‘ six to
seven liters of liquid. On this particu-
lar occasion it had been filled with oil,
and, while it had saved the bearer from
severe injury, it had betrayed him, and
he was removed to the depot at the pre-
fecture of police amid the laughter of
the people who had witnessed the acci-
dent.

A quantity of receptacles of the kind
described have been found at his dwell-
ing, and another individual has already
been arrested on suspicion of being an
accomplice. It need scarcely be added
that the oil was thus introduced into
Paris with the object of evading the
octroi dues. As a matter of fact, all
sorts of devices are employed by per-
sons who make a specialty of this fraud,
but it is not often that a person is de-

Delbridge went out to Lakewood, six tected in- these tragi-comic circum-

miles from the city late Tuesday after~
noon. He got a bathing suit and then
hired a boat, remarking that he would
take a row and get warm, the air being
chilly. Several bathers were in the water
when Delbrldge rowed Off from the shore.
It was then dark, and Delbridge soon dis-
appeared from view. Two hours later the
empty boat was found drifting at the low-
er end of the lake. A park watchman se~
cured the boat, and upon returning to
the bathhouses found Delbridge’s clothes
hanging where he had left them. They
contained a few papers and $62 in cash.

Delbridge’s family do not believe that
he committed suicide or rowed across the
lake.

Dynamite was exploded in the lake
with the object of raising the body to the
surface, but without success. If the body
is not soon recovered, the insurance com-
panies will have the water drawn off the
lake.

She Thanked Him. "Q

An effective reproof was that given
by an elderly man to a. fashionably-
dressed young woman, who, as it seems,
must have been surprised out of her
“manners.” The young woman was
walking rapidly along a. street shaded
by many trees, when the elderly man,
coming up behind her, saw a. large fuzzy
caterpillar on the- collar of her coat.

“I beg your pardon,” he said, laying a

detaining hand on her arm as he spoke
and removed the. obnoxious crawler,
“I wished to take Qif this caterpillar,
which was almost at your neck.” The
young woman stared haughtily and
with an air of resentment at the cater-
pillar and was abOut to pass on, with no
word of thanks. f‘If I made a mistake,
and you would prefer to have the cater-
pillar replaced, I can easily put it back,"
said the gentleman courteously, suiting
the. action to the word. “Oh, no, no,
please take it off i ” said the young wom-
an, her haughtiness quickly vanishing;
and with his second removal the elderly
man got his “Thank you,” and the cat-
erpillar found another resting place.—

Youth’s Companion.
Complexion Hints.

Overfrequent washing of the face
should be avoided. Some physicians in-
sist that the face should be washed but
once a day, and then 1n tepid water.

A: certain amount Of exercise is in-
dispensable. Brisk morning walks,
regularly taken and persistently ad-
hered to, produce a healthy glow that
defies artificial imitation.

Avoid rich and greasy foods. Though
it is practically useless to tell a woman
to abjure sweets, it may be suggested
that they are complexion destroyers,
and that the fewer one eats the fairer
one’s skin is likely to be.

Massage is recOmmended by many
who have made a special study of the
fine art of complexion-preserving. A
gentle kneading of the face at night and
in the morning makes the skin soft and
healthy.

Famous beauties nearly all unite in
giving testimony that a thorough
steaming of the face at night is wonder-
fully effective in producing a clear com-
plexion. This is done by holding the
face over a bowl of hot watcr.—Chicago
Record. '

Father Pat's Hospitality.

As to Father Pat’s hospitality, it may
be rude and rough, but. there is no
mistaking its warm and generous
whole-heartedness. The dinner in a
country parish invariably consists of a
roast turkey, a boiled leg of mutton
with turnips, boiled bacon with. cab-
bage, and potatoes served in their jack-
cts. Claret is the wine principally
drunk. It is only on very important oc-
casions thatchampagné makes its ap-
pearnce, but there is always a- plentiful
supply of the best Irish whisky, and, if
made in' the district, of “potheen.”
Father Pat has, it must be admitted, a
liking— for whisky punch after dinner,
in judicious moderation, of course, and
his only other dissipation is a smoke
—-always a clay pipe, never a cigarette
or a. cigar. When a “suspended” or dis-
frocked priest is met with in Ireland—
and that very rarely happens-his mis-
fortune is usually to be traced to
drunkenness. There is never a lady in
the cases—Contemporary Review.

SOMETHING WONDERFUL

The New Experience of an Amer-
ican Traveler Abroad.

no Actually Buns Across n Man in 3
Barber Shop Who :Willlngly Yields
His “Next" Privilege to

Another. , f

 

“J.

A New Yorker who recently returned
to the city after a foreign tour says that
he enjoyed one experience while abroad
the like of which he never before heard
of, says the Sun of that city. “During
my life in New York, for forty years,”
he said, “I have met plenty of nice
people and seen more acts of courtesy
and deeds of kindness than would fill a
book. I have known of a skinflint giv-
ing money to the needy, and of a pas-
senger in an elevated car resigning his
seat to a woman, and of a Wall street
man with Christian symptoms, and of
a smoker handing his lighted cigar
right end foremost to a stranger who
asked a light, and of a human being
who always had a. match when anybody
needed one, and of a. woman who would
dots on the beauty of another without
jealousy, and of an entertainer who
would cut for his guest abetter piece of
porterhouse steak than he kept for him-
self, and even of a. curmudgeon who
would, upon occasion, give proof that
there was a. streak of virtue in him. All
such things one can safely expect at
times‘ in the world.

“But, though I have been a customer

at barbers’ shops in New York for
twenty years, I never saw and never
heard of a case in which a. man who,
when it came his turn to get in the
chair for a shave, and when the barber
cried ‘N ext!’ would resign his place to
any other man in waiting. He will
stick up for his rights there against the
world. I have seen many a quarrel,
and two or three fights, between men
waiting to get shaved, when there was
a crowd, as to'which one came in first.
I was angry myself one day when a
fellow who had been getting his boots
blacked in the rear of the barber shop,
and whom I had not seen, stepped up
to a chair which I was about to take,
and said he had come in before me. No
matter if another man is in a. hurry, or
if he must catch a train, or if his wife
is anxious about him because he is too
late for dinner. you won’t give up your
turn in the barber’s chair on his lac-
count. There is one of his rights a,
man will stand up for, and you can see
it at the barber’s.
. “When I went abroad I found the
same thing in England and France. In
London once I asked a barber if he
could not put me ahead, and he
answered sharply that he would not
do it for the bank of England. The
Parisians are polite everywhere ex-
cept in the barber's shop when their
turn comes, and you would have to
fight a duel if you asked one of them
to let you get. shaved before him be«
cause your soup was growing cold.

“It was in my programme, after see-
ing the French and English, to take a.
trip through the highlands of Scotland.
I saw plenty of historic spots as I made
my way far up on the Grampian hills,
where the frugal swains feed their
flocks, and further yet, Where the fish-
ermen breast the waves; but I would
give them all away for an experience I
h (1 when I reached an ancient town
beyond the Grampians one Saturday
afternoon. At the inn I asked for a
barber, as I wanted to go to church the
next day, and must be shaved. When
I- got to the barber’s place his only
chair was filled, and four or five cus-
tomers were waiting their him. In a.
few moments the chair was emptied,
and I expected that one of the men
would spring into it. Not a man
moved. The barber looked at me,
smiled, and told me he was ready for
me. I said to him in a low voice that
several others had been there before
me. ‘I dinna mind that,’ he replied.
‘You’re a. stranger up here, maybe an
American, and the stranger always
comes first wi’ us.’ I glanced at the
other men as if to apologize or to se~
cure their assent. ‘Aye,’ said one of
them, ‘the stranger must always be
first heré. we can wait.’ I took the
chair with thanks, and the price of a
shave was two-pence.

“The seven wonders of the world, all
put together, and with the addition of
Cleopatra’s Needle in the Central park,
would not have impressed me as deeply
as I was impressed by this romantic in-
cident, never before paralleled in my
experience. . I have traveled from Bos-
ton to Chicago, from Cripple Creek to
New Orleans, without ever hearing of
a thing of the kind.

“I do not suppose that many Amer-
icans possess sufficient brain power to
believe in the literal truth of this inci-
dent; yet, for all that, it is true as the
Grampian hills of the highlands of Scot-
land, where it occurred. I have told
the story to two or three Scotchmen
since I came back to New York, but
they did not think there was anything
curious or sensational about it.”

 

 

She Knew Them.

At a teachers’ association in Newark
the other day a class of small children.
were giving ,an exercise in phonics.
The teacher had received correct an-
swers to descriptions she had given
them of trees, wood, etc., and then
thought she would describe a brooks
“What do you find running through the
'woods, moving silently on the ground,
with but little noise?” she asked. For
a long time the little. ones were quiet,
and then a little hand was raised.
“Well, Bessie, what'is the answer?”
the teacher questioned. smilingly.
“Tramps,” piped out the little one.

Ballad Up.
Lawyers are not more free than other
public speakers from slips of the
tongue. Mr. Asquith, of the English

 

' cabinet, in a recent speech in parlia-
