Capt. “Figlying Bob” Evans seems to have some fear for Consul General Lee’s safety in Havana. In various quarters lately there have been ex * pressed learij of Americans in x Cuba being violently treated. The danger may exist, but it should not be exag gerated. Meantime, it is well enough to bear in mind that practically all of the Americans now in Cuba are full grown men, who know bow to take care of themselves and have got spunk enough to do it In the event of an anti-American outbreak in Havana there would be a casualty list on the other side—there is no doubt about that. - ——Au expert writer On naval affairs notes the fact that the ships of the United States navy carry much heavi er batteries than ships of relatively the ■same class iu the foreign navies. Our guns are sotne heavier than those of Great Brftai*. •nd considerably heav- I ier than tbott of Spain. The Pelayo and the Indiana are relatively of the same class. The Pelayo’s main bat tery consists of two 124 inch and two 11 inch guns, while the main battery of the Indiana consists of four 13 inch guns. The inferior batteries of the American ship also are much heavier than those of the Spaniard. The dis parity in favor of the United States - holds good in the other ships. The uses of electricity on Howard Gould’s new steam yacht-are manifold. The electric plant.ol the Niagara will be as complete as has ever been in stalled on board a ship. Ii will epnsist of two dynamos, each capable of fur nishing 400 16 candle power lamps, ■nd a storage battery with a capacity of eighty lamps. When desired the dynamos can be made to operate 900 display lights at night, also a powerful ' searchlight on the bridge. Electricity . will be in every conceivable way on ■ board the Niagara. There will be 1 electric heaters,curling tongs, smooth- ’ ing irons, ranges, warming pans and , lifts. Electricity will operate the laun- t dry and drying rooms; it will heat chafing dishes and bring out the mu sic of the big orchestrion. The ship will be electrically and steam heated i throughout with radiators, coils and t pipes in the usual manner. - taiig . ny. f T* Caro Constipation Voravar. „ _ Take Coscarets Candy Cathartic 10c or 25c. “ BC C. a fail to cure, drvagists refund money. * BIT OF HUMAN NATURE. A Hasty Conclusion About a Woman That Was Changed Inter. Two little girls occupied reate to- • gather on an elevated train the other night. Both were scantily drewaxl, bel low eyed and hungry looking. They were ! unmistakably of that class known as "caabgirls” employed in the down town department stores, for each ad- I dmowed the other by a number in lieu of 1 Directly opposite them sat a fasbion ” ably dressed woman who was accom . panted by a well groomed male escort. Upon their entrance the conversation of the little girls stopped abruptly and there was something pitiful iu the ear nestness with which both watched every move of the woman so stunningly gowned. Two pairs of abnormally keen though tired eyes thoroughly investi gated every bit of finery in her apparel, from the highest plume of her hat to the soft, natty shoes which incased her shapely feet. "Say, 78, ” whispered the smaller of the two girls, leaning toward her com panion, "she’s a real lady, abfia You ean tell by her make up. Ain’t that a beaut of a hat, though? And look at that diamond breastpin I Whew I I’ll bet that hat cost all of’’— "Sh!" Interrupted 76 in an under tone. "She’ll bear you.” There was a spell of silence as both girls leaned back with their heads resting against the top of the seat They were enjoying the dazzling picture before them. After glancing over a section of a newspaper which the man had givpn her the woman folded it up and handed it back to him. “Did you get the tickets?” she asked. “Yes,” was the answer in an indiffer ent tone. "Let me see them.” He extracted a small envelop© from bis vest pocket and banded it to her. “By the way,” be remarked, "we will have to go tonight I couldn’t get good seats for tomorrow, and rather than miss it I took these. ” "Tonight?” she repeated in a tone of vexation. “You know well enough that wo can’t go tonight We have another engagement”— "Which we can conveniently can cel,” he interpolated. "Indeed we will not,” she retorted, with a determined stamp of her foot A protracted argument followed which was not too low for the cashgirls to learn the drift “You can go to Mrs. Brown’s alone,” finally exclaimed the man, "and I will take your mother to the theater I We can call for you on our way home if you insist on going. ” "You’ll not go to the theater with anybody. You ihust and will go to Mrs. Brown’s with me. ” Thus assert ing herself, she deliberately tore the en velope containing the tickets in minute parts and threw them on the floor. They left the train at tho next sta tion, he with a disgusted look on his face and she with head erect and a de fiant glare in her bright eyes. Scarcely had the rustle of her gar ments ceased to be heard when 76 sage ly observed: "You’re all off, 27. She ain’t a real lady. It’s only her fine duds what makes you think so. She’s only an imitation, and no clerk would taka her to a window if she wanted to make a sale.”—Boston Herald. The Terrapin Knew Him. When the late Major Moses P. Handy lived in Washington, he was frequently attending dinners at Chamberlin’s. At every dinner at all out of tho ordinary it was Chamberlin’s habit to pass around the table alive the terrapin that (it was assumed) the guests were to eat later. One night, as Major Handy told the story, when the live terrapin were brought in, as usual, he noticed, as he thought, one of the terrapins wagging his head at him. At tho next banquet the sarno thing happened again, and at the next ono of the terrapin detached himself from the rest and, crawling across the table to the major’s plate, rose on his hind legs, and, resting his foro legs against a convenient tumbler, he bowed ftireo times, solemnly; but courteously, to the astonished and awe struck guest. Upon investigation it was diacovered that the terrapin bad seen tho major so frequently at Chamberlin’s festal board that he recognized him as an oki friend and politely addressed him as such. Mr. Chamberlin is said tohavaresented this story as a reflection on the freshness of his terrapin.—Kansas City Journal. Two Capital Stories.
