GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.
Don't Handicap Them with Umlesilubl
and [llappl‘nnri'oH‘ .‘mm as.
The practice of naming children after‘
distinguished or prominent men who
may be in the public eye for the nonce
while usually springing from patriotic
enthusiasm, does not always have so
worthy an origin. Of course, where
fathers continue to call their youth"
hopefuls after George Washington.
Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, Hen‘v‘j'
Tar-d Beecher and such shining lights.
here is no suspicion of mercenary in-
tent, as there is evidently no hope of
pecuniary recognition of their act, for
obvious :‘eascns. But now and thci.
this sort of tribute of admiration t'.‘
the great and good is abuse-d, and mor-
cenary motives are apparent, or a.
least; suspected. Yet, while mos: mar.-
promfnent in public life have vulner
able spots about them and are easily
reached with a
"touched" the expressive phrase of the
day has it-now and then the mercen-
ary man finds himself badly left out
in the cold, as he deserves, because of
his unworthy motives.
As illustrative of this point a morn—
ing paper prints an amusing instance,
for which it appears to vouch, as it is a
“special” from \Vashington, in which
a Pennsylvania farmer complains to
US member of Congress that,-having
eight months ag named his “12-lb boy”
McKinley, “he being a large Bilt fel-
low,” he wrote to the President. “But,”
says the father, “he never so much as
ansuard my letter. I felt completely
beet. I did not no he was a stingy
grown man." '
Still worse—a cousin of the complain-
ant once named a son after “Mr.
Blaine,” and "Mr. B. sent him a check '
for $25,” and wrote him a very warm ‘
letter, thanking him for the name.
He further complains that even Mr.
Bryan sent one infantile namesake in
Homestead “a 10 dollar cloke and a ck
for some money,” besides a “very warm
leter.” And the uphot of it all is that
the complainants neighbors are poking
fun at him. His name is Smith, he
says, and there are lot of Smiths
around his neighborhood, and he
would like to have the Congressman do
something for him to stop the neigh-
bors’ “gags.” '
It would seem as if Mr. McKinley
was the only level-headed man in this
naming business. ‘Why should a good
and grcat man have his name bestowed
upon a boy who may, when he grows
up, make everyone Sorry he was named
as he is? 01‘ why Should an innocent
least don’t handicap him with too great
child have a name stuck on to him for
which he may have no ympathy when
he arrives at the: years of discretion
(such as “William J. Bryan,” for
instance)? No; give every boy a fair
chance with a name of his own, or at
a name—Brooklyn Standard Union.
SYMPATHY ‘JF THE BIRDS.
They Did Not Live Long After Their Lit-
tle Mistress “'as Buried.
The last scenes of a pathetic little
drama. and tragedy, in which canary
birds were conspicuous actors, was
recently enacted, and a little girl and
three canaries are under the sod in one
grave at Ekerty, Ind. Some time ago
Minnie Fay, a charmig little girl, died.
She had been sick for some time, and
death came as a relief. During her
long sickness her most intimate friends
had been three canary birds, which
occupied a cage jut over her bed “here
she could see them.
There they sung to her their best
songs. and there she watched them with
the kindliest devotion. As she became
weaker and weaker the birds seemed
to notice that something momentous
was at hand. As she neared death she
became nervous, and the little
songs of her canaries, instead of pleas-
ing her. annoyed her. At last one day
she became very nervous, and when
the birds began to sing she interrupted
them by exclaiming nervously: “Oh,
hush, Dick.” The birds seemed to un-
derstand either he look. tone or words
of their mistress and immediately
stopped. The little girl died the next
day.
Either the herb command or the loss
of their mistress affected them so seri-
ously that Dick died three days later,
a week later another died and a few
days later the last one dropped from
his perch and was dead the next morn-
ing when found. They had hardly
touched food since the command to
stop singing. They were laid to zest in
little graves made on top of the mound.
There always seemed to be the very
closest bond between the birds and the
invalid, and all think that the birds
understood her command and that it
caused their death—Louisville Com—
mercial.

SPAIN’S gnu FLEET
Fourteen Warships, Besides Tor-
pedo Boats, Reported There.
'SQUADRON HAS BUT TO SEA
Lieut. Colwell, Naval Attache of
American Embassy in London, Is
Not Convinced that the Two Fleets
Have Combined—Troops to Leave
for Canary Islands.
ii'shes a dispatch from Cadiz, dated
Saturday last, which says the follow-
lng ships, which are all ready for sea,
with the exception of the Pelayo, are
It that port:
The Pelayo, Vitoria, Carlos V., Almi-
{rante Oquendo, Vizcaya, Maria. Teresa,
[Cristobal Colon, Alfonso XIII., Pluton,
Proserpina, Osado, Audaz, Furor, Ter-
ror, and also several torpedo boats,
:ransports and the Normannia and the
Columbia, formerly of the Hamburg-
American line, whi:h have been re-
iamed Patriota and the Rapido.
The correspondent of the Globe adds
that he believes the squadron sailed
yesterday, and says a number of
troops leave for the Canary Islands on
Sunday, while three battalions of ma-
rines are quartered at San Fernando
ready for embarkation.
Lieut. Colwell, the Naval Attache of
1110 United States Embassy, said that
he was by no means convinced that
the Spanish Cape Verde squadron is
Ireally at Cadiz.

I/IUQH MYSI'ERY ABOUT THE. FLEET.
ipnninll Ministél-I of Murine Declares
It Is Not at Cadiz.
London, May lit—The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: “Ad—
niral Bermejo, Minister of Marine, de-
iies that the Cape Verde Squadron has
'eturned to Cadiz. He affirms that this
fleet at the present moment ‘is where it
nught to be, according to the instruc-
tions given it.’ ”
Admiral Bermejo‘s statement need
not be construed to mean that Admiral
Villamil's squadron is speeding west—
ward to seek a fight with Rear Admiral
Sampson. It would not be surprising
:0 the navy strategists, however, if this
Were the fact. They are acting as if
he information from Cadiz, made pub—
.ic on Tuesday, were a Spanish ruse.
They guess that perhaps Bermejo is
:‘ying to deceive the turbulent people
of Spain. There is nothing to show
that the squadron should be off Porto
Rico now, if it “is where it ought to be
according to the instructions given it,”
because there is no record that when it
left Cape Verde the squadron had in-
structions to sail westward.
NOTHING KNOWN IN LONDON.
Only Two AuxiliaryCrnisers and Two
Torpedo Bouts at Cadiz April 20
London, May 12.—N0thing is known
here of the whereabouts of the Span-
[Sh fleet. Only two auxiliary cruisers
and two torpedo boats were at Cadiz
‘ on April 29.
Inquiries on board ships which have
recently arrived from the Canary Isl—
ands, the Island of Madeira, Teneriffe
and Gibraltar, Show that nothing has
been seen of the Spanish fleet. The
British steamer Galicia, Capt. Bird,
which left Cadiz on April 29, reports
that the only Spanish war vessels
there were the auxiliary cruisers Nor-
mannia. and Columbia,
boats and an armed yacht,
the Giralda.
The British steamer Tetuan, which
has just arrived here from Gibraltar,
after leaving Las Palmas on April 29,
Tcneril‘fe on April 30, and Madeira on
May :2. saw no signs of the Spanish
fleet. She reports, however, that great
excitement prevailed at the Canary Isl—
ands when she was there.
possibly
Stock Exchan ge Incrednlous.
London, May 12.—On the Stock Ex-
change here the report that the Span-
ish Caps: Verde squadron had returned
to Cadiz was generally discredited,
though the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that, if the rumor was true, it
indicated the intention of Spain to
throw up the sponge and leave the
West Indies to their fate, thus opening
the way to an early peace.
This is understood to be strongly de-
sired in certain quarters, and the effect
of the seeming backdown of Spain was
beneficial.
Mobs Work in Madrid.
from Madrid says a mob burned a
huge grain warehouse yesterday. The
structure is reported to be a total loss.
A serious riot has taken place at Lo-
grono, capital of the Spanish province
of that name, on the Elbro, sixty miles
from Burgos. The grain and provision
stores were attacked and pillaged by
rioters, Who included numbers of
women armed with axes, Choppers and
:udgels.
The cavalry charged the mob, but
the soldiers were repulsed by the de-
termined onslaught made upon them.
The Neutrality of Austria.
Budapest, May 12,—Emperor Francis
loseph, replying to the addresses of
the members of the delegations, who
were received in audience by His Maj-
esty yesterday, declared that Austria’s
elations with all the powers, especial-
‘y with the neighboring States, were of
the very best. The Emperor also re—
i‘crred with regret to the hostilities be-
{seen the United States and Spain, and
said that while he had resolved to
naintain strict neutrality, he hoped the
"distressing struggle will soon be
znded.”
50.000 Volunteers Ready. to March.
Washington, May lit—Fifty thousand
volunteers are ready for the field, ac-
cording to the Adjutant General's of-
fice. Responses to the hurry orders
issued for the volunteers to go to the
coast have been prompt. The Go‘v-
ernor of California wired that he had
two full regiments ready to go and
wanted to know if he was not the first
in the field. The Department replied
that Montana was entitled to the
honor. Massachusetts says that its
regiments ordered to Tampa are fully
equipped and waiting for the word.
