A selfish man, like Noah’s dove, can find no rest for the sole of his foot. About the only peaceable people in the world at the present time are the savages, An Atlanta cashier named Harry Cassin cut too wide a swath and final- ly got in front of the reaper himself. His father-in-law tried to save him, but he was not equal to the emergency, and poor Harry was finally thrown into prison. He spent thousands of other people’s money and was called a good fellow while it was going. Now it’s different. The best plan is to let every person spend his own surplus. A mint for making bogus silver dol- Jars has been unearthed at Benton Har- bor, Mich., after a successful operation of several years. The man who oper- ated it was known about town as a gentleman of leisure, and his dollars appeared to be just as good as any oth- er man’s. He finally made a fatal error when he went to Chicago and paid eight of them to one man. The best of money makers, it seems, will occa- sionally make mistakes. There are various developments of the “stamp craze.” The Queen of the Netherlands, who is only sixteen years of age, is reported to have said: “I should like very much, my dear min- ister, a new series of stamps which will show me to my people just as I am at present.” Her own face does not appear in her large collection. The engraving on official papers will not be changed, it is said, until her marriage. Even royalty has its disappointments, and, like other stamp collectors, the queen has ungratified desires. The Connecticut legislator who pro- posed that the acts of the general as- sembly should be translated into for- eign languages for the benefit of those who cannot read English, forgot that one of the first duties of every citizen and every resident of this republic is to acquire a knowledge of the English tongue. There could be no objection, however, to a provision that the en- actments of the Connecticut legisla- ture and of the legislatures of all the other states should be translated into good and unmistakable English. An interesting dietary experiment is being made in the woman’s department of the University of Chicago. The women who served with food similar to that served to men’s athletic teams when in regular training. All the food is carefully weighed and analyzed be- fore it is served, and the viands ar- ranged according to their relative val- ue as muscle strengtheners, Each girl must eat the precise amount of fat and of albumen each day, which has been found by careful study to be needed by the human system, and eating too much is an evil which is especially guarded against, E. ni wr pc are 4 The following definition of a bucket “shop is given: An establishment con- ducted nominally and ostensibly for the transaction of a grain or stock ex- change business, but the proprietor takes one side of every deal that is made in his place, while the patron takes the other side—no article being bought or sold in any public market. The margins deposited with the “buck- et shop” proprietor by the patron, are nothing but the patron’s stakes to the wager and are appropriated by the pro- prietor when the fluctuations of price reach the limit of the deposit—one par- ty (the proprietor) to the bet acting as stakeholder. The commissions charged by the “bucket-shop” are odds in its favor, and necessary in order to maintain the pretense of being legiti- mate brokers actually making the transaction on a public exchange. The “bucket shop” proprietor is ready to take all deals offered on any commodity that fluctuates in price, he may call himself a commission merchant or dis- guise his business under the form of a corporation enterprise, or exchange, but he is still a common gambler. The interest of a proprietor of a “bucket shop” is at al] times opposed to that of his patrons, as the profits of the shop fre measured by the loss of the pa- trons. “Bucket shops” are condemned as criminal and pernicious by statute in almost every state in the union. They should not be confounded with the great public markets of the world, where buyer and seller, producer and consumer, investor and speculator meet in legitimate trade, for, the pretended buying of millions of bushels of grain in “bucket shops” will not add a frac- tion of a cent to the price of the pro- duct of the farm; nor will the pretend- ed selling of as much increase the sup- plies of the consumer or lessen the cosi of his loaf by a farthing. The demand for organ music in this country outside of churches seems to be quite limited. Bostons great organ, once regarded as a wonder, has been stored in a shed for thirteen years, and will soon be sold at auction. It was built in Germany at a cost of $60,000. One trouble about a great organ is that it is not easy to keep it supplied with a great organist. New York’s last quarterly death rate of 20.31 per 1,000 is the lowest in its history. The improvement is attrib- uted to clean streets. EVENTS UF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM, A Generr? Resume ef the Most Tm- portan!

CALHOUN’S FORTHCOM- ING REPORT, Whe “Special Commissioner Agrees With the Statement of Consul General Lee That Dr, Ruiz Died of Violence After a Shameful De- nial of Hix Treaty Rishts—Wit- nesses Were Afraid to Testify. Havana, May 81 conducting the inquiry into the circ stances surrounding the death of Rr. Ruiz has closed its labors. A mysteri- ous messenger from Washington came from ‘Tampa on the steamer but did not land of the commi ompanied by Consul General Lee’s son, went on board the steamer before she sailed and had a brief consultation with the stranger, and it is supposed that they delivered to him the report of the com- mission and other highly important dispatches from Consul General Lee and Mr. Calhoun to be conveyed to the state department at Washington. Messrs. Calhoun and Fishback will leave next Thursday for New York. It is understood in political circles that a long conference was held between Mr. Calhoun and the Ma¥quis de Mon- toro, chairman of the Autonomist at which the Cuban problem al reforms for the island Spain were thoroughly dis- cussed, which fact is much commented upon. Of the two reports understood to have been sent from Havana by the commission investigating the death of Dr. Ruiz, the one by Mr. Calhoun, representing the United States govern- ment, and the other by Jose Congasto, the Spanish consul at Philadelphia, who acts for the Spanish government, the former will, it is said, agree with the statement of Consul General Lee that Dr. Ruiz died from concussion of the brain, the result of violence after solitary confinement of more than thirteen days, regardless of his treaty rights. The exact facts as to how Dr. Ruiz received the blow which killed him Gen. Lee and Dr. Calhoun could not learn, because half of the witnesses examined were prisoners, and it is be- lieved were afraid to testify fully. ‘The remaining witnesses were the jail- ers, who would not testify so as to in- criminate themselves. The relief of suffering Americans by Gen. Lee goes on daily. Several hundred have al- ready been a ed. Sy ees TO BUY CUBA.

The propo- sition that the Cubans buy the island was discussed by Secretary Sherman, Assistant secretary Day and Senor Palma. It was indicated by Senor Palma that the insurgents are willing to purchase their freedom at a fair price. A full understanding prevailed that the necessary funds could be easily secured to float the bonds when- ever Spain agreed to enter negotia- tions looking to a sale of Cuba. The sanction of the junta was given to the proposed institution of correspondence having in view the relinquishment of control by Spain for a monetary con- sideration.
