One Consignment Released for Ship- ment to New York. United States Consul General Lee has advised the State Department from Ha- vana that the Spanish authorities there have released one consignment of Cuban tobacco for shipment to a New York firm. This tobacco has been held in Havana since May last, when Captain General Weyler by a decree forbade the further ex- portation of tobacco from the island. The American importers have made many strong protests to the State Department against the workings of the decree, which, it was commonly understood, had a double purpose—first, to insure employment to the cigar makers of Cuba, w,ho would other- wise be tempted to jojn the insurrection, and, second, to destroy the occupation of the Cuban cigar makers in Key West and New York, and thus stop their contribu- tions to the insurrectionary war fund. The State Department has taken up the cause of the importers, but was obliged to con- fine its demands to an allowance of the shipment of tobacco actually bought or contracted for by Americans before the de- cree went into effect. The tobacco re- leased now is some that was actually paid for before the decree. As to that only con- tracted for it appears to be doubtful whether it can be released through the ef- forts of the State Department. The Span- ish contention is that they have a full right to stop all exports, leaving to the ag- grieved importer in the United States only a claim against the persons in Cuba who have broken their contract, which may be prosecuted in the Spanish courts. The po- sition of our government is that under the treaty of 17% our merchants have the right, unrestrained by war, to bring away their effects, holding that in this view to- bacco may be regarded as effects. ATION, Important Matters to Come Up at the Meeting at Atlanta. The Southern Passenger Association, which is the successor of the Southern States Passenger Association, and which it is generally understood is controlled by the Southern Railway Company, will meet tomorrow at Atlanta for the consideration of the Supreme Court decision In the Trans- Missouri Freight Association case, which is thought to be a blow to all trusts or- ganized for the pooling of railroad races. The anti-trust law, as it {s called, is the most important measure, so far as the association is concerned, that has been under consideration of this body for some time. While the officials express no fear of disintegration of the association on this account, the forthcoming meeting will be for the purpose of adopting some method whereby the association may still exist. The decision has sounded a note of warn- ing to all members of the association, and every read in this organization will be represented at the meeting. The matter will be discussed at length, and some con- clusion arrived at for the protection of the association. It is also expected that the assuciation will take up the subject of freight rates in various parts of the south, as the roads are threatened with a big fight along this line. ———~— Hussclman Acquitted. Samuel B. Husselman, charged with hav- ing obtained, February 5, 1893, the sum of $100 from Alexander H. Colver by means of false preterses, was acquitted in Crim- inal Court No. 1 today. The indictment charged that Husselman obtained the money from Colver by falsely pretending that he owned considerable steck in the North Branch Coal and Coke Ccmpany of West Virginia; that he was negotiating with Richard Morehouse for a sale of the stock, and that he desired the money to pay fur an examination of the lands by an expert. The defense was that the defendart did own stock in the com- pany, and that he and Colver were jointly interested in the sale of it and in securing the money for an examination of the lands. ‘The defendant was represented by Mr. H.

TY MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CrTY. —— THE RAILROAD WAS CLOSE BY, PRAISE TO THE FACE. But the Old Man Insisted That Agent Had Swindled Him in the Trad From the Chicago Record. A. B. Smith of the Burlington, was tall ing to me about railroads and railroad building, and he told of the most malignant bit of false pretences which any railroad advance agent ever was guilty of. It was somewhere off in West Virginia, as I recol- lect it, and the man whose business it was to go across the country and win the favor of the residents so that they would vote bonds, struck an intermountain region and found that that particular county was practically dominated by an old farm away up the ridge. The road wanted som thing like $100,000 from the county, and the skirmishing party appeared unto the man of the ridge with a request for his assist- ance. The old fellow, whose name was Secrles, was wiliing, on one condition, to help out. He wanted the road semewhere near his own place. the agent, looked over the after a time promised. “The Ine,” he said, “will run within 100 yards of your front gate. Is that near enough?” Searles said it was and an agreement was signed. Then Searles began en advo- cacy of the bond proposition, and the con- cession was voted with hardly a word of opposition, but with the “front gate” un- derstanding. Two years later Mr. Smith happened to be hunting in that country, and he stop- ped at Searles’ house. Their conversation turned upon railroads, and the old man, pointing to a long rifle over the mantel, said: “The next railroad man that comes into these hills I’m going to shoot with that until he’s dead.” Mr. Smith, who had not yet disclosed his identity or occupation, asked for the rea- son. The mountaineer told of the episode of the bonds. “But,” said Mr. Smith, “if there was an agreement the bonds are invalid.” “No, they ain't,” the other responded sadly. “He done it. He run it within the prescribed distance. She's within them 100 yards.” ‘But I don’t see any rafiroad near here.” Nope. Ye can’t. But she’s here. She runs through this hill by a tunnel, which starts a mile away. She's Inside the named distance, but bein’ as I ain't a groundhog or a rabbit I can’t git direct access to her.”” Mr. Smith passed a very tremulous night for fear his host woutd in some way tind what his visitor's business ——s As a Target. For assaulting Foreman William E. Rob- ertson of No. 3 Engine Company, Edward Bush, colored, was sent to jall for sixty days this afternoon by Judge Miller in the Police Court. Richard Dandridge, arrested on the same charge, was dismissed from custody. According ¢o the testimony, a gang of col- ored boys yesterday afternoon passed the ergine house at Delaware avenue and © street, acting in a very disorderly manner. Robertson ordered the boys away, where- upon the latter began a fusillade with rocks, using the foreman for a target. The latter called for assistance, and members of the engine company responded, catching Dandridge and Bush, the others escaping. The prisoners denied the accusation, main- taining that the boys who ran away threw the stones and were disorderly. It Costs Little and It Makes Life's Burdens Lighter. From Harper's Bazar. No, we do not remember to say nice things to one another, or, rather, we do not make (fe effort to say those nice things we are often actually thinking. If the front of Mary's new dress fits well, and we are wishing she would turn so that we could sce the back, it is just as simple to say: “Oh, Mary, that gown fits you beau- tifully. Do let me see the back.” But in place of doing that, we wait until Mary turns by accident, and then we view her back in silence. It is not that we mean to be grudging of our praise, nor are we restrained by deli- cacy, but we just do not think of opening our mouth and unclosing our teeth on the pleasant thought that would give Mary un- dentable pleasure. There, no doubt, have been times when you yourself have worn a new gown or made some conspicuous ef- fort of one kind or another, and found a friend utterly silent on the subject—so si- lent that you thought she had no good thing to say, and so kindly held her tongue; then later (through more thoughtful chan- nels) trickles to you a warm approval that she had spoken behind your back. Behind-the-back appreval is extremely valuable, more so than before the face, of | course, but somehow it is never so sweet. Flattery? It is not flattery to speak of a true admiration. It is rather a duty to do so than to refrain. The use of clean, hon- est praise is not its abuse. It costs more effort to speak pleasant thoughts aloud than to think them in silence, and when one feels irritable or tired the effort is greater te thus make one's self very pleas- ant; but there is no doubt whatever about the duty in the case. I once saw a father walk up to a map his little boy had made and pinned on the wall. He stood before it a long time in silence, and in silence walked away. The little fel- low was sitting in the room, and his father knew he was there. He was watching with his eager child’s eyes, waiting anxiously for a word of approval. As none came, his poor little face fell unhappily. Straight into the next room walked the father, ai\i said carelessly: “Robert has drawn a very cleyer little map in there. Look at it when you go in.” “Did you tell him it was clever?” asked a judicial listener, following from the room where little Robert still sat. “Why, no. I ought to have done so. I never thought to mention it.” “Well, you ought to be ashamed of your- self,” was the deserved reply. “Go back now and tell him.” We ought ail of us to be ashamed of ourselves a dozen times a day for like sins of omission. It costs so little to say nice things, and the result in another's pleas- ure is out of all proportion to our trouble. Praise to the face: open disgrac No such thing. The proverb is wrong. Praise to the face is one of the sweetest things on earth, and there is no disgrace in it, unless untruth enters, or unless the praise is undeserved. It is the more grate- ful because no one may ask for open praise and receive by asking. When it comes thus at call it is not praise; its fine flavor is quite gone, and it is but flattery. “We may have died for praise, but never asked It.” All we need to do to give proper praise to the face is to think aloud a little more when thinking pleasantly of those with whom we live. In a word, as spoken by an old French lady of fiction, “It costs so little to be pleasant, and it does so grease the wheels of life's chario! ‘ANHEUSER-Bustn BREWING ASS’, THE LEADING BREWERY IN THE WORLD.
