Most Enterprising Spaniards Except the | A District Now Entirely Populated by Cataians Among other places along the Span- ish coast the queen regent of Spain visited recently on board the royai yacht was Bilbao. Tnis very import- ant town is the capital of Biscay, one of the four sister provinces. It is beautifully situated along the banks of the river Nervion and surrounded by, high and partly wooded hil!s. The old town is very uninteresting, with its ugly houses, many stories high, and badly paved streets. There are one or two fine churches, and the quaint, much-venerated shrine of Begonya, perched high up on one of the hills. The Bilbamous would never forgive Maria Christina if she did not take her youthful son to hear mass in that miraculous “basilica.”” The new suburb of Bilbao—Ensanche—is very modern and can vie with any other European capital, with its fine buildings and well laid out parks. The principal drive is by the water- side, along which coquettish villas ex- tend. Where the river flows into the sea are two small suburbs called Por- tugalete and Las Arenas—seaside re- sorts,with a fine hotels and bathhouses. A splendid iron bridge, invented by a Spanish engineer, connects the two banks; so high is it that vessels pass underneath. Vessels of 3,090 tons can go fa> up the iver to the wharves where they take in their loads of the rich iron ore from the mines of Prea- nera, Goldames, Friana and Castro. Last year alone 5,000 vessels, mostly English, entered the port, carrying away 6,000,000 tons of iron ore. Many of the mines are worked by English companies, and in some aspects Bil- bao reminds one of an English sea- port. There is a very large British colony in Bilbao, the consul holding one of the most important posts in Spain. A quiet, restful looking ceme- tery nestles on the bank of the river and the great vessels, as they pass, al- ways dip their flags in token of respect to this tiny corner of British terri- tory. The English sailors’ home has been a great boon, as yearly it helps to keep 60,000 sailors out of mischief. The Bilbamous, as the people of Bilbao style themselves, are, next to the Cata- lans, the most. enterprising of Span- iards. Since the war with the United States they have bought seventy for- eign steamers of more than 2,000 tons each and. have registered them in Spain, in order to undertake the carry- ing of their own ores to foreign coun- tries. The same enterprising spirit is shown in their foundries, their manufactures of every kind and in the network of broad and narrow guage railways all aroud Bilbao. Unfortunately there is an equal ac- tivity displayed by the extreme so- cialists in the rura] districts of Bis- cay and in the industrial and mining country, almost to the very suburbs of Bilbao. In the suburb of Deusto is the open-air ball game ring, where thousands of socialists assemble on frequent occasions to denounce capi- tal and the powers that be.—J. Wright in Chicago Record. ADMITTED CUILT. A Missouri Convict Pardoned for Teltiug the Truth. Gov. Bob Stewart, Bourbon and Democrat, was the most picturesque character Who ever occupied the exec- utive mansion in Missouri. He de- feated Major James S. Rollins governor in 1857. The governor was from St. Joseph and many are the stories told of this eccentric and er- ratic westerner. The following inci- dent illustrates Gov. Stewart’s keen noted throughout Missouri. It was sense of humor. for which he was the custom of the governor to question the convicts in the penitentiary as to why they were imprisoned. The in- variable answer was an avowal of in- nocence and of wrongful conviction. Finally, in his rounds he encountered one prisoner, who said he was im- prisoned for horse stealing. “Are you guilty?” asked the governor. ‘Well, governor, I guess I am; I took the horses,” rejoined the man in stripes. “Get right out of this penitentiary,” Governor Stewart vehemently replied. “You will contaminate all these in- nocent men who have been wrongful- ly placed here.” The fellow was released immediate- ly and a pardon was filled out for him. Skill of the Cameo Cutter: The cameo cutter’s occupation is very exacting. He can put in only a few hours’ work at a time as a usua} thing, because of the tension on his nerves. A quavering hand may be re- sponsible for the single stroke which will spoil a week’s work. He must have an eye almost like a microscope, and a very delicafé touch; he must be an artist’in soul, and as skillfwl a craftsman as is a watchmaker; he must know how to model and craw, and he must have a knowledge of chemistry, sc as to remove offending spots. The work is executed in relict on many kinds of hard or previous stones, but essentially the chalcedonic variety of quartz and on shells, Royal Corpse Awalting Burial, It is said that since the year 1709 a custom has prevailed in Spain which prohibits the burial of a dead king before the death of his successor, + ‘be sate King Alfonso XII., therefore. lies embalmed on a marble slab in.a vault of the Escurial, covered over with 3 sheet: ‘On the death of his son ‘the present: young king, the body wil) be removed and buried with great nomy by the side of its ancestors in tye 3. curial chapel, that of Alfonso xitz, taking its place gn the marble siab, for | | | asked. His Offsping. _There has just died in Cumberland county, Kentucky, the oldest son of a family that, so far as any known rec- ords are concerned, bears the palm for fecundity. He was Jason Webb, third child of Miles Webb, the first settler in the Cumberland district, which is now almost entirely populated by his offspring. Old Miles Webb did not do so much toward increasing the popula- tion, having added but six to its num- ber—three boys and three girls, Jason, who was 81 years old when he died, saw no fewer than 444 direct descend- ants. He began with nineteen chil- dren. From these sprang 175 grand- children, 150 great-grandchildren, and an even hundred great-great-grand- children, all living. Next in the order of number‘of descendants comes Ja- son’s younger brother, Miles, who is still living at the age of 78. Miles is still as full of vitality, apparently, as any of his descendants, who number more than 400. He was the father to twenty children, two of whom died in early life. There are 165 grandchil- dren, 150 great-grandchildren and ninety of the fourth generation—a to- tal of 423 descendants. “Aunt Polly,” the second child of the original patri- arch, ranks third in this remarkable family. From her children sprang 110 grandchildren, who made Aunt Polly great-grandmother to seventy and great-great-grandmother to forty—a total of 230 descendants. These three alone, therefore are responsible for more than a thousand inhabitants of Cumberland county. Another daughter of old Miles, Aunt Sally, has 208 de- scendants. There are thirteen of the first generation, eighty of the second, sixty-five of the third, and fifty of the fourth. Aunt Sally is an active old lady of 75 years. Aunt Letty, the old- est of the children, who is now hale and hearty at the ripe old age of 90 years, scores the modest total of only 201 descendants. She began with eleven children, and there are ninety, sixty and forty of the succeeding gen- erations respectively. The least pro- lific of all is the youngest child, Wil- liam, but even at that he can boast of - 166 Kentuckians who owe their exist- ence to him. He has eleven children, seventy-five grandchildren, fifty great- grandchildren and thirty great-great- grandchildren. By blood and affinity there are in the county of Cumberland and the country adjacent thereto no fewer than twelve thousand persons in- cluded in this family fold. If this is not a record there is some other re- markable family to be heard from, EARL RUSSELL’S WIT.- Geady Tongue of England’s Latest Lord Chief Justice. One day (a legal correspondent writes) before the late lord chief justice took sick, he was sitting in court, when another barrister, leaning across the benches during the hearing of a trial for bigamy, whispered: “Russell, what's the extreme penalty for big- amy?” - “Two mothers-in-law,” in- stantly replied Russell. On one oc- casion Lord Russell went to help the Liberals in a certain campaign. He began his speech of set purpose with some very badly pronounced Scotch. After the confusion caused by his ap- parent blunder had subsided, Sit Charles Russell (as he was then) said: “Gentlemen, I do not speak Scotch, but I vote Scotch.” Tremendous applause followed, whereupon Sir Charles pro- ceeded “and I sometimes drink Scotch.” With this his hold on the audience was secured. Although unrivaled in the art of cross-examination, on one oc- casion he was distincely beaten by a witness. “What is your age?” he “It is my age you are asking?” replied the witness. “Yes, sir. .Now speak up and be exact.” ‘‘And be ex- act! Well, of all the——” “The court does not desire to hear any comments of yours. Tell the court your age.” “Well,” said the man, “I celebrated my twelfth birthday last week.” “Don’t trifle with the court. and re- member you are on oath.” “It’s quite true. I was born on February 29, in leap year, and my birthday only comes once in four years.”’—London Daily News. Pooling in Wedding Gifts. 2 “What shall we give her?” That is a question which desolates innumer- able breakfast tables when the morn: | ing post brings the announcement of an approaching marriage. A most val- uable precedent has been set by a batch of Lady Randolph Churchill’s friends, who clubbed together and presentec her with a beautiful gewgaw in the shape of a pearl and diamond tiara, The example should be followed wide- ly. Individual effort is apt to fritter itself away in superfluous salt spoons and unnecegsary photograph frames. Given a bridé} it is pretty certaim that many of her friends will be friends of one another. And how much more pleasant for the bride and how much simpler for her friends is the pooling of affection in a really valuable gift! The perennial difficulty of the wedding present is in a fair way toward sola- tion.—London Chronicle. Setentists Are Happy. Jean Baptiste Andre Dumas, the eminent French physiologist ang chemist, the hundredth anniversary of whose birth occurred on July 14, thus stated the problem of happiness in ar. oration delivered before an assemblage. of French naturalists at Clermont, in 1876: “If I seek in my memory after the picture of true happiness, I find ir not in the potentate who exercises 4 great power over others, nor in the man of wealth, who controls all the luxuries and pleasures money can buy put in the man of science, who de- votes bjs life te discovering the secrets of nature, cud Sanding out new ton'h>.” | United States Duk | was : Bole Itasca Laundry fail dross” sult to ‘Lou McAlpine, the Cleaner, to be cleaned Grand Rapids, - Minn.
