HOW DICK GRUBB MADE
SIGNS IN CUBA.
A Bridegroom’s Mistake.
Mr. E. Burd Grubb, of N. J , bns
been appointed Minister to Spain.
Dick Grubb, of Darien, would make a
better representative nbroad.—Tlioin
nsville Timcs-Enterprise.
Yes, Dick has been to Cuba, and
one night while there in a large itorc
just opposite the public park, ho prov
ed himself quito n diplomat, although
he couldn’t speak one word of Eng
lisb. He made signs that counted for
a good deal though. Ho had a strong
way of showing what he wanted —
News and Advertiser, Albany.
Our recollection is that Dick called
for it "straight,” but that the Cuban
mixer, misled by hfe signs, insisted on
“mixing’’ it.. Brother Turner’s re
collection about the signs is correct.
He made ’em and made ’em very vig
orously, for the whole gang was
mighty dry, and Piek was the only
one in the party who could make signs
in Spanish.
This incident reminds us of the expe
rience of a bridegroom, who, with bis
charming young wjfe, was on the trip.
The couple stepped into a place near
the hotel Psaaje, and the groom made
signs to the swarthy Cuban for a con
pie of lemonades. It was pretty hot
over there, and ice cool lemonade was
luxury, after a tramp of several
blocks through the narrow crowded
Btreets of Havana The polite attend
ant looked wise, while our bridegroom
remarked to his wife:
‘ It is very easy to make these fol
lows uuderetand you, if you know how
to go about it- Now I saw Ed Bar
rett down on Obispo street this morn
ing, trying to buy one of those illus
trated hooks descriptive of n bull
fight. He actually went through the
whole gamut of signs, without ever
penetrating the clouded mind of the
salesman. Stepping in, I made a lew
signs in imitation of a mad bull en
tering the areun, by pawing around
and bcllowiug, and light at onco broke
on tho puzzled salesman, and the
highly colored and profusely illuslra
ted book was forthcoming.”
And tho trusting, loviug youDg
bride looked on her husband with re
newed admiration.
In the meantime, two glasses filled
with a seductive looking fluid, were
placed betore tho couple, on a little
marble table.
“This tastes mighty queer,” said
Mrs. , as eho daintily sipped the
contents of her glass.
“I’ll he blamed if it isn’t strong,”
said the husband, ns the last drop in
his glass disappeared. And thcrowas
a sort of satisfied air about the gentle
man, ns a tender expression gradually
stole over his face, a kind of n dreamy
look of contcntmeut; the features
lighting up as if he had unexpectedly
met with nn old and very dear friend.
Ho slowly lowered his glass, looking
down into its emptiness, and calmly
wiped his lips.
He had evidently met au old ac
quaintance; and meeting in a foreign
land did not seem to detract auything
from the pleasure of the unexpected
encounter, as was shown by the wist
ful way iu which he had gazed through
the inverted bottom of his gloss, os
tho last drop trickled down his throat.
The wifo grew suspicious of the al
coholic odor, and said:
“This isn’t lemonade, that’s certain,”
as the fumes of the liquid were in
haled.
No, it’s a whisky cocktail,” said
the gentleman, and “you had better
let me drink yours; it is too strong
for you.”
“I thiuk wo had best go back to the
hotel,” said tho bride.
And they went.
Mrs. believes, to this day, that
her husband understood some occult
signs, signs known to barkeepers the
world over, by which he told that Cu
ban to mix a whisky cocktail, though
the gentleman protests, in the most
solemn manner, that he tried to make
the fellow understand he wanted two
lemonades,
A Tragedy in Mitchell
Information has reached tho city of
a tragedy which occurred near Camil
la Saturday. Tho particulars ns near
as can bo learned, are as follows :
Buck and Bill Adams, brothers, and
Bill 1’oc, and a man named McLeod,
half brothers, have not been on good
terms for some time. Saturday, Buck
Adams slapped Poe’s face, iu Camilla,
and the bitter feelings between the
two factious became intense. Friends
interposed, and prevented further
trouble, but about four miles from Ca
milla while en route to their homes,
they inet again, Poc said he would
soltic tho matter then and there. Bill
Adnm3 caught his brother aud held
him to prevent a light, hut after the
other parly had filed, he released him
and sougbt bis own safety by getting
out of the way. Buck returned the
fire, and when the general shooting
bad ceased, it was found that McLeod
had been killed, Buck Adams bad
ly wounded, and Poe slightly hurt.
The latter was arrested, but escaped
from the officer. All the parties were
young white fanners.
Police Court.
The attendance at the police court
yesterday was not large, but the offen
ders thought .lie fines were.
The absence of the familiar face of
Mayor Hopkins hclund the desk, was
the first thing that they noticed, and
Mayor-pro-tem fatten,} dispensed
justice instead,
Otis Crawford, who it seems never
tires of working for the town, was up
again. It seems lie did not like the
appearance of a strange coon in town,
and proceeded to make fun of him,
and abuse Imu genet ally. He was
fined $5 and costs.
Aunc Levis, a damsel of color, plead
nul.guilty to the charge of fighting,
hut proudly told the Mayor in making
her statement, how she had done up
her rival. She win fined $1 r, includ-
costs or ten drys. Site was locked
up despite tier cries.
Carrie Bush, another woman who
accepted a “dare” lo walk out into
the street, and fight, was fined $6 or
fivufdays. She was alss lucked up.
Homer Miller who, was cut about a
week ago by a negro known as “Big
Six/' was tried fur disordly conduct
but discharged.

We beg lo call special attention to
tho advertisement of Burckhardt’s
leaf Inrd, and the star ham. This
leaf lard is guaranteed absolutely
pure, aud dealers will find their sales
increasing by handling it. Tim star
ham is one of the best in the market
and is a favorite everywhere. Tho
attention of the trade is culled to
both these articles.
This ollico was invaded and made
bright by a bevy of ladies last evening.
•Some little confusion ensued, on ac
count ol all of them talking at the
same time. Tho devil, himself, got
confused, and, a-i for the. editor-
well, he jus}, surrendered.
It Touched fhoir Hearts.
When Emma Abbott was in De
troit she visited the newsboys’ room
on Sunday evening before going to
church and was asked by ono of the
little fellows for a soug.
“A song?” echoed the popular sing
er, ns she looked on the bright, eager
facc3, and wondered what she could
sing that would enter into all those
young hearts aud do a good work.
They waited aud the hall was us
silent as if void aud unrK. Then the
sweet notes of the “soug” asked for,
rang out iu melodious tones and the
singer lookeil at the boys faces to see
if auy disappointment were there, hut
she saw only rapt attention, delight
and appreciation, as the boys drauk
in every word. This was the soug
Emma Abbott had chosen from her
repertoire:
‘ •Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land,
I mu weak, but thou art mighty,
Hold inc with Thy powerful hand.
Blend ot (leaveu
Teed iuc now and evermore.”
Mias Abbott Bilug every line ui* the
grand old liymu, and when she had
finished a mighty chorus ol applause
told her how well her soug Imd been
appreciated.
Miss Abbott said afterwards : “I
eoidd have snug something that would
have pleased the boys belter, perhaps,
hut in whatever I do 1 nim to mnkc
au impression for good that will be
helpful and lasting.”
Ho Changed his Mind.
“Complications of rather a serious
nature have resulted from nil elope
meut iu ludimm. Edward James is
20 years old aud Pearl Cary is lfi.
They had been iu love some time.
Taking advantage of Miss Cary’s vis
it to the state fair at ludiunnpolis, the
couple ran away ami tolegraphed to
the old folks that they would soon re
turn. But the parents immediately
pursued and caused the arrest of the
elopers. When they learned that the
pair should really be married they
agreed to n wedding, Imt James pcs-
itivoly refused. Now the old mantis
in a quandary and James is iu jail.
Both nrc rich aud belligerent. Each
now occupies just the opposite posi
tion lie assumed nt first, it is ustrik-
illustrntiau of the obstinacy of
mankind, ami meanwhile each is pre
sumably wondering what will coim.
