Madrid, March 4.—A sensation has been caused here by the publication of a story, credited to the Rlarlo de la Marina of Havana, which pur- ports to show by documentary evi- dence thatthe United States Con- greas was bought in 1897 by Tomas Estrada Palma to insure war being declared against Spain. According to the Havana newspa- per, bonds to the value of 37 million dollars, redeemable when Cuba should become independent, were {s- sued in Washington to senators, and @ contract existe which contains phraseology like that of the joint resolution of April, 1898, voted by Congress. The article says further that the value of the bonds fell heavily {0 1899 and, therefore, a now contract was made between Pal- ma and the American senators. Count Salazar, minister of foreign affairs, has telegraphed to the Span- ish representatives in Washington for the fullest information. Saved Her Son’s Life.

Washington —The house conferees on the Post-Office appropriation bill accepted the Senate amendment in- creasing the maximum salary of rural letter carriers to $900 @ year. This amendment, which will make glad the 36,000 odd rural carriers of the country, was accepted by the House coaferees as & compromise, the Senate receding from {ts amend- ment requiring a change in the sys- tem of weighing railway mail. I¢ will cost the Government sever al millions of dollars more annually to maintain the big increase in rural carrier pay. Representatives and Senators from all sections of the country, more particularly those representing the rural districts. Democrats as well as Republicans, have made a fight for this amendment. Sufficient strength wae brought to bear in the House to prevent the increase there. The strongest argument in favor of the increase, aside from the fact that all other postal employes were being taken care of in this way, was that rural carriers are compelled to farnish thelr own vehicles and means of transporting the mails on their routes, an expense the city carrier does not have. : Under the bill as itnow stands not all theraral carriers will receive $900 @ year. None may receive more than that amount. The bill, however, is liberal, not epecitying how many yearsa man must serve before he can receive the maximum pay. His Whiskers Worth $101.

Massachusetts Man Will Now Ratire With Fortune Made After Hard Work. Ware, Mass., March 4—Working for twenty-seven years for not more than a $l aday Octave Girard has acen mulated $10,000 and with his wife bas settled down to enjoy the reaptte from toil. He is now nearly 72 ye :ra old, but hopes to live many Years to enjoy the results of his {n- dustry The accumulation of this little tor- tune fs the more remarkable because he has had no trade aod no educa tion, and to this day he cannot read or write, He and his wife have successtully reared thirteen children, of whom ten are now living He says that be and his family have always been well clothed and had plenty to eat. He adds that it is due to the thrift of his wife rather than his own in dustry that they have got along so well. Inatead of spending large sums for clothing for she children, Mrs. Girard bought the raw wool, wash ed ft, carded 16 and spun {t Into sub- stantial cloth. And all the time they put money !n the bank. Mr. and Mrs, Girard both came from Canada, and Mr. Girard re- marks that the inspiration to save money came from hie observation ofthe way old folks are treated {no Canada. “The old folks seemed to bealways in the way,” he says. “No matter how good the children might be their old parents were something of a burden; besides, is seemed hardly fair that young people should be saddled with thecare of their par- ents. Sol decided that I’d lay by my savings so that I might never be a burded to my children, {f I happen- ed to have any.” © Mr. and Mrs. Girard’s system has been not to increase their expenses, no matter what the increase in the cost of living. They have steadily saved acertain amount each day, and when thelr children began to work and pay board, they eaved a still larger amount. This was care- fully salsed down io the bank. Only once did they attempt an {n- vestment and it was@ good one. Mr. Girard bought a nice piece of property for $900 and sold {t some time laterso as to make $600, Then he bought better place for less money thanhe pald for his first property. Liquor has been a pitfall that Mr. Girard has always avoided, but he has smoked for a great many years, belleving that tobacco was beneficial to his health. His pleasures have not been many, viewed from one standpoint, but he has cared for little recreation except fishing and shootiog, and now that {s forbidden him, for, as an alien, he cannot fish or hunt in Massachuvetts without paying a license fee of $15 a year. Mr. Girard lays down the following rules for accumulating money: “Steady work at low wages rather than intermittent gwork at large wages.” “Do not increase your expenses as your wages increase.” “Marry young, and don’t marry 6 doll-faced woman.” “Let liquor alone.” “Own your own home.” Look Out, it is to Laugh.

Tilho, of the French colonial infantry, who is at the head of the French mission for the delimitation of the French Sudan from British Nt- geria, has been giving some interest- ing particulars of the task entrusted | to him. He is to work in concert with Maj. O’Shee of the British mission, to give practical effect to the Anglo- French treaty of May 2 possessions from the Niger to Lake Chad. The two missions will now define those boundaries. considers that about 18 months will be neces for the completion of ry this work, His personal relations with the chief of the British mission are exceedingly ndly, and near- ly all hs officers speak English. Capt. Titho and his party were to reach Daker on November 4, and will pro- ceed thence to Ilo, the first British port on the Niger, where they will meet the British mission, From lo the two missions will start on their work of delimitation, which will ex- tend over 1,500 miles. The British mission is to reach Ilo on December 10. It is expected that the work will have been completed up to Lake Chad by December, 1907, and that both missions will be able to return to Eu- rope in the spring of 1908, Wild Beasts of India. A statistical paper on India, late- ly published in London, makes the statement that in 1904 the total num- ber of persons killed by wild beasts in India was 24,034, of whom nearly 22,000 fell victims to snakes. Tigers killed nearly 800, and leopards nearly 400. On the other side of the ac- count are 65,000 snakes killed, and 16,000 other wild animals, To many persons it may seem strange that a country so old as In- dia should still harbor so many wild beasts, and that they should be per- mitted to commit such depredations, says the Youth's Companion. It must be remembered that the country is of vast extent, much of it still covered with dense jungle; and that religious scruples prevent many of the inhab- itants from taking the life of any ani- mal, hence general measures of exter- mination receive little native support. Ceriain young New York matrons have hit upon a delightful method of spending a day, a method which com- bines many of the luxuries and con- veniences of an expensive trip, with- out, however, the expenditure of a cent. A cc n manufacturer of a food in New Jersey is so proud of the immaculate condition of his fae- tory that whenever 14 or more wom- en get together and signify their de- sire to inspeet the factory the man- ufacturer sends an upholstered pri- vate trolley car to any desired place; the party is conducted to the factory, wined and dined, and then sent home rejoicing. The trip is getting to be very popular up town. Even eges are beginning to exhibit freakish propensities, due to the all- prevailing craze of the times. In- Sussex, England, a few days ago a poor woman had some new laid eggs sent her by a kindly neighbor. In breaking one for the purpose of mak- ing a custard she saw something strange in the yolk, and on examining further found it to be a half sov- ereign. How the coin got into the egg is a mystery, but evidently the hen, if she could explain, would say {t was some money lost in chicken farming. e Hetty Green's son, who owns @& farm in Dallas, is interested in Texas railroads, and when boll weevil affect- ed the cotton crop he saw that he was directly interested in what hap- pened. Hearing that the government was about to make experiments, he offered the use of his farm to the sec- retary of the interior, who asked him if he owned any greenhouses. Mr. Green replied that he did not, but that he would build as many as the government cared to occupy. He was asked to build two, and did so. There is a vast difference between the economy which administers wise- ly and that niggardly economy which saves for the sake of saving and spends a dime’s worth of time to save @ penny. I have never known a man who overestimated the importance of saving pennies, to do things which be- long to large minds.—Success Maga- zine. ees The American people are very prone to boast about the amount of money they spend on education. Noth- ing could make a poorer boast. The amount looks big in the aggregate, but it is really trifling when analyzed.
