M’KINLEYON CUBA.
Will Not Depart From The
Policy Os His Prede-
cessor.
London, Juno 22. —The Wash
ington correspondent of the Daily
Graphic reports an interview with
President McKinley, in the course
of which the president said he saw
no great difference pending with
Great Britain ns to the seal ques
tion.
‘•lt is unsettled,” said the Presi
dent, “but I um in hopes that the
British government will be in
better humor after the jubilee.”
With reference to the Cuban
question the Graphic’s correspon
dent reports President McKinley
as saying:
“I anticipate no departure from
the policy of my predecessor. We
have no reason to interfere in a
quarrel between Spain and her
•colonies. Our interests are not
sufficiently jeopardized to warrant
other than diplomatic interference.
Moreover, B Spaiu has given res
pectful attention to every griev
ance we have submitted thus far.
I admit that circumstance may
arise to change the present policy
of the government; but large bod
ies move slowly.”

that the foam had made a wet

A Singular Coincidance.
During the famous seven days
battle near Richmond, Va., June
22, 1862, Policeman Joe A. Sharp,
of this city, received a bullet
wound in the forehead. Yesterday
being the 22nd of June, he left for
Nashville on the same date that
he was wounded, to attend his first
grand Confederate re-union since
the war. He said before he left
that he wanted to get with his old
comrades again and join in cheer
ing the strains of “Dixie” one
more time in life.—Rome Argus.

GARDS, DEVIL
Such Was The Inscript
ion On A Drawing
Found In Tom
Delk’s Cell.
TELLS STOSY OF HIS LIFE
Dead Outlaw’s Estate is Ad
ministered-Flowers From
His Cell Will Be Plant
ed on His Grave.
Tom Delk’s estate was admin
istered on at the Fulton county
jail yesterday afternoon.
In the presence of Jailor Mad
dox, Taylor Delk, Miss Annie Delk
and Mrs. Joe Allen the worldly ef
fects of the dead outlay were gath
ered together.
It was not a large collection that
the sisters took home with them,
but every article was precious to
them on account of its association
with their brother.
There were several paper back
novels and quite a number of re
ligious tracts, and a prayer book.
A rough table about a foot and a
half high, which Tom had manu
factured out of a few pieces of
board was one of the two pieces of
furniture. The other was a rockU*g
chair.
A little lamp stove over which
the prisoner occasionally cooked
his meals, acouple of quilts and pil
lows and a pair of pants complet
ed the list of useful articles.
In a little pasteboard box there
were found three easter eggs. They
were presented to Tom on Easter
morning by the lady who sent
him his dinner every Sunday.
The three pots of flowers which
the young criminal had tenderly
cared for were also taken home by
his sisters. The flowers will be
transplanted over his grave Sun
day.
The pictures with which Delk
had decorated the cell will be left
on the walls by the jailor. The
fancy paper hangings overhead will
also remain.
“Twelve Spot,” the cell in which
Tom Delk staid for more than a
year, has been turned into a re
ception room for visitors. It will
be used as such until another des
perate criminal arrives at the jail.
This is the coll in which Alex.
Carr staid for many months, and
which he finally left for the asy
lum .
Among Tom Delk’s effects was
found a collection of drawings
presented to him by Ben Christie,
when that worthy was in jail.
Christie is the desperado who was
recently convicted of highway rob
bery and given a long term in the
penitentiary.
The aggregation of sketches were
transmitted to Tom in his cell,
through other prisoners. They
bear the following inscription:
“Here is hoping that We May
meet one more time free, and hop
ing God will be with us. Ever}
more your Friend.
“Ben Christie.”
A picture of an old oak tree, a
round which wild flowers are grow
ing, is called “The old Brest works,
the best of all.”
Two men on horseback, evident
ly intended for Christie’s and Delk,
dashing over the wild western
plains bear this inscription : “Gone
Home —you and me.”
The most interesting feature is
the one in which Christie por
trays to Delk the cause of his
downfall. It is a cartoon entitled:
“Girls, wine, cards and then the
devil. This is what brings trouble
to us all.”
There is a drawing of a buxom
women seated in a chair. In front
of her are a half empty wine bot
tle with two glasses, four aces and
to die right of the picture is
Christie's idea of satan. The dev
il is pictured as a red and blue
striped snake with a human
head.
All of the drawing are dore in
colors. There are several pictures
showing Tom holding up citizens.
In all these the people, while Tom
stands arrayed in gay attire load
ed down with pistols, guns and
dirks.
The moral is pointed out in a
drawing of a prison cell in which
too pentitents are shown.—Atlanta
Journal.

Uncle Sam’s Domain.
“The Britons proudly boast that the
sun never sets on the Queen’s domin
ions, as if they were special subjects
of solar favoritism,” writes William
George Jordan on “The Greatest Na
tion on Earth,” in the July Ladies’
Home Journal. “But it is equally
true that there is always sunshine on
some part of Uncle Sam’s great pos
sessions. When it is Gp. m. on At
too’s Island, Alaska, it is 9:36 a. m.
of the day following at Eastport,
Maine. If we locate the centre of the
United States, calculating it as midway
between longitude sixty-seven of East
port and longitude one hundred and
ninety-three of Alton’s Island, it will
be found on the one hundred and
twenty-sixth degree of longitude,
about two hundred and eighty miles
west of San Francisco, in the Pacific
Ocean.”

The Centre of Our Population.
The centre of population is the cen
tre of gravity of the inhabitants of the
country. If the United States were
considered as a plane, with all its peo
ple as of equal weight, the centre of
population would be the point where
the whole plane might be balanced
and remain steady through equilibrium.
It expressess the net resultant of the
movements of population from decade
to decade. This point, according to
the census of 1890, is located about
twenty miles east of Columbus, Indi
ana. It moves westward about four
miles a year, and is now three-fourths
of a degree south and more than sev
enteen degrees east of the centre of
area.—William George Jordan in July

UPRISINGS OF CHEYENNES.
People Who Have Guns and Can
Shoot Are Not Afraid of Them.
The people who live in the Pow
der liver country are accustomed
to the reports of Indian uprisings.
The scares have their beginnings
in small events. The one in 1884
was started by two drunken cat
tlemen, who were sitting in a house
when three Indians came riding
up the road on their ponies. One
of them, who had been drinking
more than was good for him, made
a bet that he could raise the hat
from the head of one of the ap
proaching Indians with his rifle
without scalping him. So he o
pened fire, and he did raise the
Indian’s bat, but he shot a trifle
too low and creased his scalp, not
hurting him seriously, but starting
the blood and making the Indians
angry. They rode away, and that
night came with a band of their
companions and burned the ranch
Reuses down. The residents of
that section organized a posse of
200 or 300 and went after the In
dians in earnest, but the men who
fired the ranch were subsequently
surrendered and the affair quieted
down without more bloodshed.
The Cheyennes then had a little
settlement on Otter creek, at its
confluence with Tongue river. Af
terwards a lot more of their tribes
men joined them, and there a mis
sion was established for them,
where the government now takes
care of them. At that time they
were not cared for at all, and their
only means of living was by hunt
ing and stealing. They were
treacherous and undesirable as
neighbors. They would always
look around when they made a vis
it to a ranch to se® whether there
were any arms around, and if there
were not they would set upon the
people and rob them of everything
they had in broad daylight before
their eyes. If they met a man on
a horse on the range who was not
armed they would set him afoot
on the spot and take his horse and
outfit along with them.
They are the same Indians who
took part in the raid into
ka and afterward participated in
the Custer massacre. The Chey
ennes are not a particularly high
class of Indian, though. They are
not especially brave and I nevef
saw one who was a good shot.
They are rapidly diminishing in
numbers. The locality where they
are now was once a fine hunting
ground, but that day is gone. They
are fed by the government and
furnished with some of the com
forts of civilization, but for the
most part they retain their origi
nal customs from preference. They
live in houses a part of the time,
but eat on the ground when tables
are furnished them and in many
other ways show reluctance to en
ter into the spirit of the govern
ment in its efforts to civilize them.

Most people think that slavery
in this country ended with the
civil war, but apparently it did
not, for this week a resident of St.
Louis, Mo , will be sold to the
highest bidder at public auction
for the term of six months. This
penalty is provided for vagrancy
and wife desertion by an old and
almost forgotten statute in Mis
souri, and the only way to escape
it is to put up enough cash to fur
nish support for one’s family for
that length of time. A man thus
sold under the law is compelled to
serve his master as faithfully and
conscientiously as he would an
employer.

Out of the Ordinary.
The snoring habit has broken up
families and friendships, but the
first case on record of its causing
death has just been recorded in
New York city. The victim is An
na Churchill, a 3-year-old child
and the snorer in the case is Ed
ward Mason, a boarder in the
Churchill household. Mason’s
snore is said to be such that the
people within a block of where he
is asleep can hear it. The other
night he came home drunk, lay
down in the kitchen and fell a
sleep. His thunderous snoring a
wakened the child and threw her
into convulsions. The family
turned Mason out of doors and
called in u doctor to attend the
child, but she passed from one
convulsion into another for several
hours and finally death ensued.
The case will be investigated by
the coroner, who will endeavor to
ascertain whether Mason can be
held criminally responsible for the
child’s death.
What is certainly an odd occur
rence is reported from Sanilac Co.,
Mich. While a farmer was shear
ing a sheep a little brown egg fell
from the fleece and broke on the
floor. The shearer investigated
and found a bird’s nest on the
sheep’s back, so constructed that
with ordinary treatment the eggs
could not roll out, but the bird in
building the nest had apparently
not figured on the clipping of the
wool. The nest, of course, was
warmer than the ordinary kind
would have been, but how the
mother bird could distinguish
which of the flock of sheep bore
her nest is a rather difficult ques
tion.
Though worth $50,000, James
Webster, a farmer living near El
dora, la., will probably die in the
county poorhouse. When the pan
ic of 1893 came Webster turned
his property into $30,000 in coin
and buried it in casks upon a farm
which he still held as a tenant.
Three months ago his mind failed
and although he seems to have
some recollection of burying his
money, he cannot remember the
hiding place. He is now a charge
upon the county, having no rela
tives upon whom he can depend
for support.
The precociousnesS- °f children
in these later days is someulmg
astonishing, but when their imita
tion of older people is carried to
such an extent as to taking of their
own lives, it should be discouraged.
At Berlin, 0., occurred a cate last
week where a 10-year old child
killed himself for the most trivial
cause imaginable. His sister was
having a birthday party, and when
the cake was passed the boy was
given a smaller piece than she was.
He left the room pouting, went in
to an adjoining room and hanged
himself to the door-latch, being
dead when found.
Near Alburquerque, N. M., is a
tableland 700 feet high, the walls
of which, so far as known, have
never been scaled in modern times.
The sides are almost perpendicular
making ascent impossible. There
are evidences in the finding of pot
tery at the base that the plateau
was occupied by a prehistoric race
and it is the belief that valuable
discoveries will be made by anyone
who can reach the top that will
take Prof. William Libbey, of
Princeton University, therein July
with a party of six men. The pro
fessor’s scheme is to use a pair of
the big kites now used in the
weather bureau in its experiments
to carry a line from one side of
the plateau to the other, a distance
of several miles. This done, a rope
or other heavy line could be drawn
over, fastened on the ground at
each side, and used to climb to the
top on. Prof. Libby has made ex
periments which have convinced
him that his scheme will be a suc
cess and hopes to solve the mystery
of the tableland.
