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.- Minneapolis Times. 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 Globe. ’ Jews bi the Senate.

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. —Chicago Inter Ocean. 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.

L • g slaughtering a criminal by ths 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 Barto* With WrvglMM*.
