men and all very dirty, very brown, very
disreputable looking and more than very
hungry. We were packed into a carriage
drawn by a couple of Porto Rico frames
for horses and were en route from Puerto
Ponce to the city itself, the hour 10 a. m.
and the date July 97, on which day the
principal city in the intend feU into the
hands at the avuncular Samuel There
was a goad bit of excitement in the four
miles of drive over the well kept road
fringed with eaneflelds, oucoanut palms,
sugar mills, blue and white bouses and
flourishing shrubs. Native Porto Ricans
were cither wild with delight at being rid
of the Spanish soldiers or simulated joy to
a marvel. They ran (not fast, as it wasn’t
aecMmry with that team) beside the car
riage, shouting “ Vivan Americanos!" and
now and again some particularly dirty
specimen would gain a perilous foothold on
the crazy step Os the ramshackle vehicle and
Insist on shaking hands all around. He
would have kissed us, Spanish fashion, if
we bad shown any willingness that way.
Some of the women did, but that’s another
story.
We wero in searoh es breakfast, It to
not necessary to grow prolix over what
that would mean to us. Suffice it, we
would rather have fdund a good meal than
a big nugget. Inquiry elicited the fact
that Ponce had two cases of note—that of
the Hotel Inglaterra and that of the Hotel
Francois. The latter was the nearest and,
for that reason, chosen.
The city had been in the possession of
American troops less than half an hour,
so wo were the first of the army of occupa
tion to grace the quiet precincts of the
Case Francois. How cool it was, with Its
fountains and marbles, how bright with
its poneiana tree in bloom, its huge flow
ery shrubs and its bright plumage parra
keots, how comical its frescoes of Daphnes,
Chloes, Phyllises and Strephons, yet how
dainty withal, for the table napery was
spotless, the glass, china and (alleged) sil
ver shining with cleanliness and the ca
rafed glistening with (ye gods, could it be
possibles) real ice!
Madam, the mistress, a veritable poly
glot, hacked by three buxom maids jab
bered away at us as we threw aaffie re
volvers and fieldglasses and seated our
selves at a round table near the fountain,
in a Franco-Hispano-Anglo dialect out of
which we gathered that if we would net
kill the women and burn the hotel the re
sources of the oafe were at our disposal.
We promised that death and destruction
should follow only in case the breakfast
did not appear speedily and bountifully.
It did. What a breakfast! Its memory
will abide while those five palates preserve
their functions and recollection holds its
seat. Cold bouillon, fresh fish, a Spanish'
omelet Xhuge in proportions, exquisite in
accessories), fruit of the freshest and most
succulent, coffee like amber and cigars
that had been made in Havana before the
declaration of war.
Instead of harming that hostess or any
of her household, after eating that break
fast we would have attacked with gusto
any one who failed to treat her as the
queen of providers arid dispensers.
We called for the bill, and then came
chaos.
“What! You will pay?” almost scream
ed madam. As evidence of honest inten
tion each man produced his canvas sack
and emptied its store, of American half
eagles and English sovereigns on the table
in front of her.
"Henri, Henri!” yelled the excited wo
man. "Come hero, my heart. Come
quickly and behold these men, these an
gels. they will pay. They do not com
plain. They compliment me on my cook
ing. Sancta Maria, it is too much 1" and
the good woman threw herself into the
arms of her fat and hitherto Invisible hus
band as he appeared in the doorway, while
down her red cheeks streamed tears of
veritable delight.
There isn’t any moral to this morning
glimpse of Ponce at the surrender unless it
be found in the comment madam’s sur
prise created upon the probable methods
and manners of the Spanish officers who
had hitherto been her principal patrons.-

Canada's Corundum Lando.
Expl rations being carried on by Pro
fessor Miller in eastern Ontario have
shown that the corundum belt is consid
erably wider and longer than appeared
from the explorations of last year. Two
areas have been carefully examined this
year, a small one in the townships of Bury
and Methuan in the county of Peterboro,
and another extending from Haliburton
across Hastings into the county of Ren
frew. The government has decided to
bring the whole belt under the provisions
of the regulations adopted in July last for
the development of corundum lands, and
accordingly the mineral rights on consid
erable additional tracts of land have been
withdrawn from sale and placed under the
provisions of these regulations.—Toronto

Dr E A Down of this city in his offl- I
he r |m^’h tpportunity’ that few nwa I
have of studying insanity in all Ito as-
Ca. In the course of his visitations he
gatbwed ono of the moot unique
i lections that wore ever got together. It con
sists of a number of primitive tools manu
factured by the inmates of Insane Institu
tions for purposes of escape or defense or
attack
Many insane people are pomawd of the
delusion that they are the objects of some
special persecution, and in order to protect
themselves against their supposed pane
outer or in order to be prepared to attack
, him when they chance to meet him they
work in secret and prepare for themselves
some very unique weapons. More com
monly their efforts are expended in mak-
Infir tools for nurnosei of oooado.
The materials which they Uve at hand
for this purpose beingjrery limited, they
are compelled to use whatever they can
find, nnd the greatest ingenuity to often
exercised by men that to the casual ob
server would seem quite incompetent.
Dr. Down’s collection of these primitive
weapons and tools is quite comprehensive
in its line, and each article in it carries
with it a thrilling story of escape or at
tempted escape.
There is a screwdriver made from a
Spoon which a patient at an opportune
moment smuggled to his room from the
dining tabla He broke off tbs spoon just
above the bowl, and under cover of the
noise which prevailed at times ground
down the handle on bis stono window sill
until it assumed the form of a sorewdriv-
Or. With thia he removed the screws which
held tho slat at the side cd his window and
made his escape in this manner. This man
was a harmless patient, who was troubled
with recurrent attacks of excitement and
who took pleasure at such times in wit
nessing the fright which he Inspired in
those who thought him dangerous.
The next article in the collection is an i
improvised dagger and sheath, the dagger
made from a nail with a piece of rag for a I
handle and the sheath made from a chicken
bona The weapon was found on tho per
s son of the maker and was taken before he
had time to complete the dagger by filing
down the point on the nail.
Another improvised weapon is a dirk
made from a long nail with the end well
sharpened and a rag wrapped around the
other end to serve as a handle. This in
strument was as sharp as an ordinary
knife and would be a formidable weapon
in the hands of a crazy man.
Perhaps the most unique article in the
collection is a key made from a piece of
orange peel, This apparently harmless
• tool was made by a female patient and
Was discovered before she had an oppor
tunity to test Its efficiency. The prison
officials found on trial that this key made
from dried orange peel would unlock read
ily almost any old and worn lock.
The doctor has also a key made from
wood and one made from wood and a piece
of orange peel, and others made from the
handle of a blacking box, from a small
staple, etc., all of which will unlock old
locks with-mcceor less ease. Screwdrivers
seem to be the instrument which tho in
mates consider most useful, and there are
several strange varieties of this tool fn the
doctor’s collection. They- are made from
nails, buttonhooks, springs, from the heel
of a woman’s shoe and heel plates and
clothes hooks.—‘Hartford Oaurant
WlmtoWftn Wan', Wrestle With a
Bear.
While walking along the river road In
tho woods near Oconto, Wls., Edward
Brunke was attacked by a bear-and had a
tussle that lasted until the bear had made
carpet rags of Brunke’s clothes and left
wounds on his arms that Will stand as tes
timonials hereafter to bruin’s ability as a
wrestler. According to Brunke’s story,
the bear approached him walking on his
hind legs, front paws outstretched, and
with grinning, open mouth. Brunke at
first suspected that the bear was a make
believe, rigged up by some of his friends,
but soon discovered his error when the
paws laid hold of his waist.
“It was a case of catch as catch can,”
said Brunke, "so I tried the grapevine or
hip ipek, but the bear’s daws were sharp,
so to even things I slipped out my jack -
knife and ran it into his throat." Tho
bear let go, but took a new hold, and the
pair rolled upon the ground, where both
combatants practiced half Nelsons, full
Nelsons, strangle and other holds until
they rolled into the bushes, where Brunke
finally escaped from the animal’s dutches.
Brunke came to the city to have his
wounds dressed and to patronize a tailor.

San Spots.
The annunoement that Paris meteorolo
gists regard sun spots as having some re
lation to temperature leads tho Rochester
Post-Express to say:
"It is more than 15 yean ago that Henry
C. Maine of this city proclaimed as an in
controvertible scientific fact the indissolu
ble relation of cause and effect between
solar disturbances, better known as sun
spots, and meteorological disturbances on
the earth, and thus incurred the ridicule
that comes to reward a naan of an original
turn of mind for a discovery that runs
counter to current ignorance and preju
dice.
“Now that he has won the good fight
and laid the foundations to a true science
of weather we do not propose to stand by
in cowardly silence and permit ‘the Parts
meteorological authorities’ or even so re
spectable a scientist as M. Flammarion
coolly to gather in the frnlta of his long,
arduous and most noteworthy labors. 1 ’

GUILLOTINE IN PARIS.
A Deserlptlo'it the Shssh
teir Spectacle That Always Attracts
the Outcasts of tho Freaeh Capital.
After the Fcartel Knife Has FaUea.
In these rushing times we might take
for our motto "Something New, Al
ways Something New." Consequently,
I imagine that the impressions of •
woman at the foot of the guillotine
would not be commonplace. I was pres
ent at one performance in the Place de
la Boquette, where M. de Paris and his
assistants officiated Ui the name of so
called justice. The horrible spectacle
haunts and racks tho mind and tends
rather to re-enCroe the partisans of the
abolition of capital punishment. The
horror of tho punishment imposed ren
ders a guilty man almost worthy of
pity. The sight of a human being,
dragged like a beast to tho slaughter
house, up oven to tho sinister seesaw,
isterribla
| I know many people may be astonish
ed that anybody could be moved to pity
for the ferocious brute, Carrara, who
transformed hie mushroom establish
ment into a crematory anffhad no mer
cy for the unfortunate young man, La
marrs, whom he threw into the fire
after having murdered him for the pur
pose of robbery. I know all that, and I
do not dispute the fact that the Italian
was a monster, but that is no reason
why we should not be disgusted at the
spectacle which was presented to our
eyes and which I will now endeavor to
describe with the impartiality of a sim
ple spectator, without resentment or
prejudice, but with a heart that revolts
•gainst a scene that has neither the
grandeur nor the majesty of a punish
ment inflicted, but rather exhibits the
cowardice and baseness of a vengeance
which hidesitself from the light of day.
The execution was fixed for 4 o’clock
in the morning, but from tho hour of
midnight the neighborhood of the
Grande Roquette was swarming with
an undulating and mocking crowd.
Jailbirds, murderers, footpads and wom
en of the streets assembled there to see,
as they said, "the Italian animal short
ened.”
Journalists were admitted into the
narrow space so often described, with
its five sinister stones and its legendary
gas jet which is never lighted except on
the evening before an execution.
There in the rain we watched the set
ting up of that horrible machine which,
according to the legend, Oagliostro
showed in a glass of clear water to the
terrified Marie Antoinette. In the yel
low and spectral light of the gas jet
that flickered in the wind these prepa
rations were hideous to witness. Al
most on a level with the ground stands
the scaffold with its two arms in the
air brandishing the sparkling knife.
Andi, a woman, in the presence of
these preparations, could not help think
ing of the family -of the wretch whose
head was soon to fall into the basket. I
thought of his little children, who were
at that moment sleeping soundly some
where, and of his wife, equally guilty
With him, and who, as it were, pushed
her husband into the arms of the execu
tioner as a last resort to save herself.
What remorse will be hers when they
tall her abruptly: "Oarrara has suffered
his punishment. You are a widow I”
But the day was dawning, and the
lamps were going out At the windows
and even on the roofs numbers of spec
tators were gathered as if to witness
some carnival The sight was heart
rending. Mounted gendarmes and sol
diers gradually came out of the dark
ness, and one might be inclined to rail
at such a display of force at the execu
tion of a wretch paralyzed by fear, who
in a few momenta would appear upon
the scene tied hand and foot
. There was some little commotion
among the crowd when people began to
point at a thin, old man who hobbled
about with the gestures of a dancing
jack to see if the knife in the brass run
ners was in good working order. This
was Deibler, the executioner, a ghost
with a white beard, who adjusted the
instrument with the indifference of a
grocer weighing his goods. Suddenly
there was profound silence; the rain
was over, heads were uncovered and
motionleas. Breathless and almost in
agony the crowd followed with staring
eyes the movement of the doors of the
prison, which at last opened wide.
A suppressed "Ah I" came from many
contracted chests, while with pale faces
all gazed upon the assassin, whose
crime the mountebanks of the fairs pop
ularized. He waa simply frightful to
look at, bowed down as he was with
terror. He did not look like a human
being. He looked like a beast. His.in
telligence was already dead and his
heart had lost all feeling. The instinct
of the animal still remained. The sight
was dreadfully sad.
What followed beggars description,
The executioner and his aids seemed no
longer to be men employed to carry out
the ends of jnstiee; they looked like
butahere. They seized the condemned
man, some by thA ears, some fciy the
legs, while others held down the center
of the body and kept holding him up to
the very moment when, with a sudden
rumble, the knife fell, the head re
bounded into the basket and the abomi
nation was at an end.
But one should be present and see the
pavements covered with blood, the gory
knife, the blood spurting from the de
capitated trunk, the ignominious wash
ing at the nearby fountain and the gut
ters rolling to the sewer a purple color
ed mud, in order to be able to compre
hend all the horrors of an execution in
Paris.—Exchange
