wide ee ROYAL ETIQUETTE. tha Spain No Subject Is Ever Permitted te Touch the Person of a King. Old world privilege and restriction reign supreme in Spain, where there 4s a law that no subject shaJl touch the person of the king or queen, says the New York Mail and Express. The present king of Spain nearly suffered: ® severe fall from this rule in hia childhood. An aunt of his made dim @ present of a swing. When he used it for the first time the motion fright- ened him, and he began to ery. Where- | upon a lackey lifted him quickly out of it and so, no doubt, preserved him from falling. ‘The breach of etiquette, however, was fla- grant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and bet- ter place in the royal household. In another case a queen of Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would not risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for the heroic in- terposition of a young man who stopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. As soon as they saw she was safe her escort turned to arrest the traitor who dared to touch the queen's foot, but he was not to be seen. Knowing well the penalty he had incurred, he made off at once, fled for his life and did not stop unti] he had crossed the frontier. REASONS FOR REFUSING. Capricious Women Who Preferred No Lovers.to Those They Had Accepted. A young woman of Birmingham, England, became betrothed Jast sum- mer to a young solicitor, preliminaries were arranged and the fond couple only awaited the arrival home of the ‘sridegroom’s father from a lengthy sojourn in America to be made one. In due course he came, but when the bride beheld one who, while he would have easily quelified for “fat man” et a fair, asserted that in his son he once again beheld himself in youth, she refused to fulfill her promise, and now seeks a Jover to whom the future does not threaten such ample propor+ tions. Some years since a lady was en- gaged to a gentleman who bore the name and was a relation df a certain gallant soldier, who, a month previous to the date appointed for the cere- mony, while on service abroad had the misfortune to meet with a severe reverse. No sooner did the news come to hand than the lady, a member of | had been: wounded in | whose fan the disastrous action, declined, unless: he should promise to ‘change his name, to become his wife. To this ecaprice the gentleman refused to sub. mit. so the match fell through. HIS FIRST FIRE ASSIGNMENT. for Neglecting Tiles 1 Duty. ; “Say, hustle down to the stockyards right away,” said the city editor’ to the new reporter, says the Chicago Chronicle. “There’s a tire cown there, It may turn into something big, but even if it doesn't we want u good lit- | tle story on it anyhow.” The new reporter shot out of the | door, with perspiration starting at every pore. The fire did not turn out to be a great conflagration, so no more reporters were sent down to the yards to take care of it. The city editor depended upon his new man for the story. Dut for some unaccount- able reason the reporter failed to re- turn to the office and the paper had to go to press without the account of the fire. The next day about noon the new man strolled leisurely into the office entirely unprepared for the thunder. storm that broke over his head as soon as the city editor caught sight of him. “Say, what the dickens is the mat- ter with you anyhow?” said the edit- or. “Why didn’t you write up that fire that I told you to?” “Why,” gasped the youth, “there wasn’t any use to write it up, every- body was there and saw it.” KNEW ALL ADOUT GUNS. . Piet" Joubert Astonished All Hear ers, Including Krupp the Famous Himself. An American woman tells of a visit she and some friends paid to the Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany, years ago, and of encountering Peter Joubert before he thought of going to South Africa. The woman was the guest of the American ambassador | and his wife, and at the works they were met by Krupp himself. In mak- ing their tour of the arsenal they were joined by a man who followed through each department, and ins few moments responded to a casual question about guns from one of the party. Once having spoken he launched forth into such detailed de- scriptions of their manufacture that Krupp, who had hitherto been talk- ing, kept still and simply followed as one of the auditors. The man accom- panied the party, explaining as. he {| went, until the tour had been made. Then be bowed and retired. “\Vho is that man who-knows ee much about guns?” demanded one of the party. “Oh, that’s a Dutchman named Pete Joubert,” replied one of the off | concatenate dae Tea ane ei fi | Japanese had an electric searchlight | | | | | i { \ | | | | —— | Tue Excuse Given by a New Reporter | | | | | | | | | ARE SUPERSTITIOUS: Capt. McCalla Says That the Boxe ers Are Not Afraid of Bullets. They Believe That by Waving Their Banners and Spears in a Certain Way They Can Esenpe Leaden Missiles, Capt. Bowman H. McCalla, com: Manding the cruiser Newark, which | has just returned from the far east, in speaking of the fighting which Ad- miral Seymour’s column enjountered sast su mer in trying to relivve the be~ sieged ,egation at Peking, said: “At first we had only the Boxers to contend with. Later we had the Chi- hese regulars. They were splendidly ermed—all that a good soldier could wish for. They had the best of the Mausers, the finest of Mannlichers and good Krupp guns. Nobody could ask for better than that. “It was almost pathetic to see how the Boxers foughi. Their religious¢m thusiasm and faith in certain things were extraordinary. They believed that by waving their banners and spears in a certain way and making pe- culiar motions with their hands the | bullets from our guns could not harm | “Nothing could shake they faith in this kind of defense. They would not run away. I saw a parcel of 25 of them | stand up and be shot down to the last man. All through the fire they kept | bowiug and making their strange mo- tions. Even when the last of the 28 had been shot to his knees he kept sa- laaming to the last. Icould not under- stand it. “It was different with the Chinese regulars. They knew what bullets jeould do. They are not very good marksmen. They would begin to shoot | when they were a great distance away, but there were so many of them that | it kept one rather busy trying to dodge | the bullets. “They displayed more order under fire than I expected, but that is due to | the German methods employed in their training. I'saw one bo@y of them walk off very calmly and in splendid order under a hot fire. But as soon as they | are threatened from tse rear they give | way in bad style. They seem to be very | sensitive to the danger of being cut | off. That is a Chinese sold{fer’s weak point.” Speaking of the Japanese, Capt. Me- Caila said: “The efficiency of their army is something to marvelat. Think of it, when the allies got to Peking the and a storage battery, which proved of the greatest service in storming the yare modest, quiet, but ke, at all times.” WILL FIGHT MOSQUITOES. Army Quartermasters Have Ar- ranged for a Supply of Oil with Which to Exterminate Them, Arrangements have been made by the army for a wholesale raid on the tnosquito. Army headquarters have arranged for a supply of oil, which will be used in the extermination of the insects. All stagnant water within the confines cf military posts will be | treated with a dose of petroleum or kerosene, it having been ascertained that the introduction »f oil under such circumstances will dispel the pest of | mosquitoes, to which insects army | surgeons attribute the spread of dis ease. ‘This is the first time in the history | of the army that the theory of infec: | tion by mosquitoes has been officially | recognized, although for a long time | the army surgeons have been trying to get the war department to issue ; through the quartermaster’s depart- | ment oil to be used in the exterminat- ing process. Capt. Gorgas, the army surgeon at Havana, recently made a report to the war department which showed that the abnormal health rate in Havana is due mainly to the killing off of the mosquitoes, and it is believed that other localities nearer home will be made more healthful if the same pre- cautions are taken. QUEER CWLS ARE FOUND. Three Birds at Red Bud, Il., That Have Well-Defined Monkey Characteristics, Three owls that appear to be part monkeys have been found near Red 3ud, Ill. Two of the birds are now in | possession of Phil Offerding, a hotel keeper of Red Bud, and are viewed with great curiosity. The owls are two months old now, and so far have shown no signs of feathering, and this adds to the monkey likeness. They have large, staring eyes like the owl’s, even the beak being depressed, but the forehead runs back like that of the | monkey. The hoot which has made | the owl well knoWn ¢s absent, The vocal powers of these monkey-faced beings are somewhat fmpaired. They remain silent unless disturbed, when they let out a hiss like that of a tnake. They were taken from a nest | in the woods near Red Bud about a month ago by George Carpenter. He was out hunting, and seeing an owl fly off a nest high up ina tree climbed up to see what was in it and discov ered three owls, who looked as though they might have had a monkey in the family. He took them to town, gave one away, and left the other two with the hotel keeper. Good Use for the Boycott.

C., Jan. 17 The American people have been favored (%) with « vast amount of argument, seem- ingly diweeted against the shipping bill now pending in congresi, but really aimed at the effort that is now being so strenuously made to revive and build up our shipping in the foreign trade. No missatement has | been too wild, no untruth too ridiculous, no innuendo too base, no assertion of venai- ity too absurd, to fail of use in the hands of \these malignant opponents of American in- terests. When the shipping bill firet came before congress, the suggestion was made that swift ocean steamships were what were most needed, mail carriers, vessels avail- able as auxiliary cruisers—ocean gray- hounds, in short; and it was alleged that the slow cargo carriers could take care of themselves, that they needed no assistance, they were profitable under present condi- tions, and similar arguments. When it was pointed out that there was reason for government aid for slow ships, carrying only cargoes, because they were at a disadvantage in cost of construction, if American-built, and at a further disadvan- tage in cost of operation, if run by American officers and seamen and firemen, and this truth became known, then the enemy turned right-about-face and declared that the ships that are needed to build up the American merchant marine are the cargo carriers, the vessels that take away our farm products, and not the swift passen- ger steamships. The enemies of the shipping bill have blown hot and blown cold, all in the same breath, and the pity is that the American people are so utterly uninformed regarding the real facts concerning Amer- ican shipping—concerning any shipping— that they have been easily duped into be lieving the most extravagant things that mind could concoct in order to fight and de feat the passage of the shipping bill. As a matter of fact the shipping bill is carefully drawn, on the most scientific lines, drawn so as to barely enable Amer ican-built and American-manned ships to compete with foreign ships on terms of equality, and this is true of fast ships and of stow ships, of steamships and of sailing ships—of any kind of American ships en- gaging in the foreign carrying trade of the United Sthates. The disadvantages they labor under, bacause of higher cost in con- struction, and because of higher cost of op- eration and because of the subsidies and bounties given by foreign governments to their merchant ships, have been carefully reduced to dollars and cents, and the amount of compensation provided in the bill just-offsets these disadvantages. With- out discussing’ the details of payments this truth may be relied upon, no matter what stories the enemy circulates in oppo sition. And now, who are these enemies? Surely they must be those whose interests wiil suffer, or whose theories will be dis- proved, if a bill is passed sufficiently effect- ive to encourage the construction of Amer- ican-built ships. These interests and these theorists are the foreign shipowners, their agents in this country, and the free trad- ers. Foreign ships now monopolize the ear- rying of 91 per cent. of our imports and ex- ports, and they. take away from this coun- try fully $150,000,000 in gold or its equiv alent each year just for their freight chatges. If American ships are built and put on the ocean, they will compete with these foreign ships, they will reduce the cost of carrying our farm products and our manufactures abroad, they will force # freight rate war upon the ocean that will be fierce and prolonged and during which there will be ever expanding opportunities for our people to increase their exports and se- cure and hold new foreign markets for their surplus products. Naturally these foreign shipping interests will fight the shipping bill to the death, and they are known to be do- ing it in every way in their power. The other enemies, equally as active, and supported by those first mentioned, are the free traders. Amefican ships upon the sea have been unprotected in operation for 40 years, and their tonnage has decreased by two-thirds, while our commerce has in+ creased fourfold. Only by protecting our ships, as our land industries have been pro- tected against foreign competition, can they make head against foreign ships. The free traders fear another triumph of the Amer- ican protective policy. Taking advantage of this element of oppositon, the foreign shipping interests are supplying the Reform ciub of New York with money in unlimited quantities to circulate its free-trade liter- ature in opposition to the shippng bill. And this tells the whole story of the sources of opposition to the shipping bill. t7The American people are not so partie ular whether this or that particular bill is pasaed to build up American shipping, as they are that some effective measure be put upon our statutes, at once, that will ac complish this very desirable result. The people feel that it is the duty of con- gress to enact such a measure without fur ther delay. “Undoubtedly there is a majority of the senate in favor of the bill,”sayethe New York Times, in an editorial urging demo cratic senators to resort to every possible device to prevent a vote being taken on the bill. When the enemy is compelied te thwart the majority will, they are subvert ing the government to their own ends—te the desires of the minority. ©¥The great bulk_of the people cannot be expected to know whether the details of this or that bill are best adapted to put American ships upon the seas in suflicient number to do American carrying. They Jeave that for congress to.determine. But they do desire, and that unanimously and emphatically, that congress shall no longer delay doing its full duty in this respect. The people are looking for results. G7 Official figures show that Great Brit- ain spends each year $3,500,000 more on her subsidies to British steamships than she Ge for sea postage on British mails, The Inited States, on the other hand, gets 1,500,000 more for sea postage on its mails each year than it spends in subsidies to both American and foreign steamshins, And yet there are those who sav that Great Britain don't pay subsidies to hes nu Bl.
