SPANISH samurai. ‘

It Did Impress the Commander or the
German CruiserGeier as
Wonderful.

 

Capt. ,Jacobsen, commander of the
German-cruiser Geier, has published in
the Marine Review, of Berlin, two arti—
cles about his personal experienccsdur-
ing the SpanishuAmerican campaign in
Santiago. 'In speaking of Spanish gun-
nery he says: '

“I have heard of only one instance
where a. Spanish shell‘ found an Amer.
'ican warship. This was sent into the
Texas while that battleship was bom-
barding the Socopa batteries.

“One night while the American bat-
tleships kept up a continuous bombard-
ing one of the attacking'vessels was
found by the searchlights of the bat»
tery. The» Spaniards opened fire on it,"
but instead of hitting the vessel the
Iowa, which lay under the cover of
darkness, was struck by the shell from
the Spanish howitzer.

“Great must have been the fright of
the American officers when on taking
charge of Morro they found that the
cannon operated against them by the
Spanish bore the dat’esuldvos and 1718.
Part of these howitzers were found
loaded as the Americans took charge.
The officer in charge ordered them to
be fired off, and found to his great sur-
prise that the longest distance one of
these shots would traverse was 800
yards.

“With due apologies to the brethren
of Yankeeland, did the thrifty Ameri-
cans really allow themselves to be
frightened at this Spanish ‘blufi?’ In
the beginning, perhaps yes. I must
confess, and so do my ofiicers, that
while watching the proceedings from
our cruiser we had not the faintest
idea that. the Spanish batteries had
such antique material to defend their
glorious honor with.”

HUMOR. OF THE INSANE.

There Is Plenty of the Real Thing,
Says the Superintendent of
an Asylum.

 

“I was sitting in my ofiice the other
day," said the superintendent. of the
insane asylum-at Parlor City, “when
one of the patients, a harmless fellow
who is allowed to have the freedom of
the building and grounds, came in,
pale- With. indignation, and said that-
he held a complaint to make.

“ ‘What is it, your highness?’ I said,
for it was the prince of Wales I was
talking to.

“ ‘Are the rules of the palace to be
observed or not?’ he demanded. ‘I
want to know whether our rules can
be broken with impunity?’

“‘Certain-ly not, your highness,’ I
said; ‘What is it?’

“ ‘I was coming down the corridor
this morning,’ he said, ‘a-nd in a rack.
on the wall I saw a. dozen red pails,.
marked “for fire only.” Now, is that
right. or not?’

“ ‘It is,’ I said. ‘Cllhe sign is correct.’

“ ‘Well, then,’ he said, ‘John- (refer-
ring to a keeper) must be punished. As
I stood there he came along and filled
the pails with water.’

“‘He shall be- executed at once,’ I
said, and- the prince bowed with great
seriousness and walked out of the
room. ,

“This incident illustrates a trick
which few people know anything
about,” continued the superintendent.
“That is, there is more unconscious
humor about a lot} of lune-tics than
there is genuine humor among sane
people. Some of the things that my
patients say and do are funnier than
any of the things I read- or hear from
the outside world. I tell you, life isn’t
so prosaic as‘ you’d think in an insane
asylum.”

THEATRICAL “JONAHS. ’ ’

Some Instances That Seem to ‘Give
Good Excuse for the Super-
stition of Actors.

 

 

The. world has heard much of many
theatrical superstitions, but little is
known by the public of the painful fact
that there is many an excellent actor
who is regarded in deep, sober earnest-
ness by managers, authors and actors
alike as a “Jonah” and a. bird of ill-
omen, says the Chicago. Journal.

It is not, of course, possible to men-
tion names, but half a down well-
known men might, be instantly named
who are not now, and have not been for
years, allowed on any account to appear
in any new piece or at the inauguration
of any new management, and their
' names have been ruthlessly crossed of!
when they have inadvertently crept
into benefit announcements. One of
the hard est-head ed authors of eminence
in this country only recently was hor-
rified to find the name of one of these
actors connected even with the revival
of a play of. his, and he insisted upon
the engagement being canceled at once.

There is no getting over the fact that
some of these men, good actors though

, achieved a run.

STuJOHN’S, N. F., March 11.—Tu¢
colonial ministry is distracted with in.
ternal dissensions. Sir James Winter,
the premier, refuses to recall to the cab-
inet former Finance Minister Morine,
and the latter's following, 15 all told,
‘will‘withdraw its support from the gov-
ernment and probably form an alliance
with Mr. Morris, 'who leads an inde-'
pendent party of four. Sir James Win-
ter, with the. remnant of the govern-

form a coalition‘with Mr. Bond, ‘who
i has eight in his personal following. The
Vpremier hopes to continue in power in
defiance of Mr. Marine. The legislature,
is, likely to ,meet on March 23. Should
the government be defeated then on a
i motion of confidence Sir James WinterI
will advise a' dissolution, to b‘etolloweld.

01,1) TRAPPERS DYING OUTI-

There Is No Longer- Any Money in.
Trumping the Eastern
\Voods.

 

Trapping as a business has about
ended in the eastern states. A few boy-s
and improviden't men still set traps
along the various woods streams of
Pennsylvania, New York and Maine,
.but the old—time trapperis going. The
time was when men had. lines of traps
up streams, over ridges and through
swamps for scores of miles, through
densest forest, 3. steel trap or dead fall,
large enough to hold a min-k or marten,
every quarter of a mile or so, and a
double-spring trap at “likely” places
along the line, large enough to holda
fox, wolf, fisher or other bait thief. A
couple or three bear traps were com-
monly on the line. Every 10 or 12 miles
was a. little. shanty, with its- pile of dry
hickory, frying pan, 3. bag of salt and
stretchers for the skins, all of which
had been prepared in. the fall before the
fur was prime. ‘

The longest lines took a week or 10
days to cover. Progress was slow.
Snow had to be cleared away from the
traps after a storm, the victims had to

’ be skinned, the traps re-set and; re- ;

baited. Deer were shot to supply the
bait. All alone, the trapper, with an
ax o-r rifle and a light pack containing
food, followed his line ‘by the blaze
marks he had cut on the trees; It was
a life of toil and hardship. Sometimes"
the men. were lost, and in the spring,
or years after. their bones would be
The
remuneration was not great, but large
enough to be tempting in the days when
a. prime mink brought $10 to $12 each.

The old trappers are mostly (lead.
The new ones are guides, andtrapping
for $100 to $300 a. winter is not over-
tempting to the men who get $3 to $5
per day guiding.

MARRIAGE OF “PERKINS.”

An Object Lesson in the Economics
of Matrimony in the City‘
of Chicago.

 

They called him “Perk” for short,
because they were too busy to get the
“ins” to make the full name, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Perk never
did much in the way of support-
ing himself, but he let his married- sisd
ter do the: providing. She had: done
this for so many years that he began to
think that it was her duty. In the
‘summer time he; played a. comet at the
“chutes” and. flirted- ‘Wiithl the“ girls.
Last summer he met a young girl at
the .“chutes” and. fell in love with her.
When winter came his occupation was
gone, and he was too lazy to get ani-
other. He spent his time calling 'on» his
summer girl, who was obliged to work
in a. restaurant at seven dollars per
Week to support herself.

One Sunday recently Perk thought
that life would be unbearable without
his charmer, and, borrowing 20 cents
from his sister, ‘which was all the
moneyshe had, e came in fromvBow-
m-anirille, found his inamorata, and, to
do the thing up in romantic style, they
eloped to Wisconsin. It took; the girl’s
week’s Wages to pay the railroad fare
across the state line. They might
have had: the knot tie-d here. at less ex-
pense, but that would, have taken out
all the romance. Nobody would. have
prevented their marryinig, as no one
cared... After Perk had been married,
he wrote to his sister, saying: “Will
be home Monday night. I hope every-
thing will be all right.”

It was all wrong. For when-Perk and
his bride returned to Bowmanville the
door was shmt and they were told that:
there was no room for them there.

IN PARLOUS TIMES.

 

Mansions oi" the Oldezn Days End
to Be Built with Many
Secret Passages.

The onward march of building prog-
ress has unearthed many secrets con-
nected with the old-time mansions of
this city. The latest to yield up its se-
crets to the world is the old Hamilton
mansion, which has buffeted the storms
of a century and a. half in Woodlands
cemetery, says the Philadelphia Record.
In tearing down some of the side walls
the destroyersdiscovered several in-
geniously concealed stairways. These
led from secret panels on the ground
floor to rooms in the secdnd and third
stories. Another secret stairway leads
to blind rooms, which also has a. secret
existence. Why these rooms‘ were
built there is much doubt. It-is pretty
well settled that William Hamilton,
who bought the grounds and mansion
in 1747, had these secret passages ar-
ranged so that he could escape if it be-
came necessary. He was at one time
resting under the charge of high trea-
son, and the times about the beginning
of the revolution were anything but
quiet. The Hamilton mansion is by no

Zoological gardens is full of secret pas— '
sages and stairways. There are pas-
sageways-in that old house thatno one
living t-o-dcy can tell the one time util-

it. must have been done by lying down
and crawling along, for it would admit
of progress in no.0ther way.

Ruined by: a. Tint-fie.

Sweden was ruined by. a single battle.
It was the battle of Pnltowa, in.»1709.
-In this battle Peter the Great of Rus-
sia defeated Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a. first-class Eu-
ropean- power, while Russia was just
emerging out of obscurity. Charles
XII., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the way to make Sweden one of the
greatest of the. powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at Pultowa ruined
Sweden. At the battle of J ena», in 1806,
Napoleon crushed the kingdom of Prus-
sia. The battles of Sadowa. and Sedan
practically crushed France and Aus-
tria—Cincinnati Enquirer.
