MILITARY DISPLAY. An Amusing Bit of Routine In n New York Hotel. There is no better place to mark the Increasing love of military display and maneuvers than the lobby of a large hotel. The colored lit ip in particular are great soldiers. In one of the Broadway hotels uptown the colored hallmen are changed at noon. Tilings were > quiet iu the lobby at that hotel today, i fur the clerks and bookkeepers were ■ deep in their books, and the loungers I were all sitting peacefully on the so- ' fas when the steady tramp, tramp of i what sounded like a regiment of infantry broke the stillness. The regiment consisted of six colored hallmen in blue and brass, with nu especially resplendent mulatto in a more gorgeous uniform walking at the head of the procession, says the New York correspondent of the Pittsburg Gazette. He lined Ids six men In front of a bench before the desk, looked them over sharply to see that they were “eyes front" and hissed "Attention!” Then as he clapped his hands once the six men hinged their legs simultaneously and drooped Into their scats like a row of wooden soldiers. The mulatto wiped his brow with a highly perfumed handkerchief, glanced at the head clerk for approval and as the first man responded with a Jerk to the cry of “Front!” went to the main doorway to look at the sunlight of I Broadway with the air of a successful major general. The whole performance was excruciatingly funny, but I am sure that mulatto would have committed assault and battery on any one ( who dared to laugh. The Wax Insect. Trees afford the birthplace and cradle of the wax Insect, scientifically called Cossus pein. In th* early spring the bark of the boughs and twigs becomes covered with brown pen shaped scales, which can be easily detached nnd which, when opened, reveal the flowery looking mass of minute animal*, whose movements can Just bo detected by the miked eye. In Mny and June, however, the scales nre found to contain a swarm of brown creatures with six legs and two antennlte each. Some of the scales also contain the white bag or cocoon of a small black beetle, which, if left undisturbed, burrows Into und consumes

the scales. The Chinese say that this beetle eats the little wax insects, and it appears certainly the case that where the parasite is most abundant the scales fetch a lower price in the market.—Chambers’ Journal. In on the Ground Floor. An ex-postmaster was one of a group in a city hall corridor recently i engaged in discussing queer manifes- ' tations of jealousy on the part of young men in love, a dispatch in the i morning papers having given rise to the conversation. He said that the - most Jealous man be ever had ktiowl- | edge of applied for a position in the i postotiice. He brought such excellent recommendations that the postmaster was moved to wonder that the young fellow did not go into mercantile life. Pressed for a reason, lie finally confessed that he was giving up a better position in order that as an employee of the postoilice be might not only get bls fiancee’s letters the sooner, but also might learn whether or not she received mail from any other man.—Philadelphia Times.

ENVOY REID’S FARM. SPLENDID HOME IN THE WESTCHESTER (N. Y.) HILLS, Ophir Farm In One of the Finest Country Estates In America—An l'p to Date iankee Castle, With a Charmint; Chafelalne. Although Whitelaw Heid, editor, poll tician and special envoy from the United States to the coronation of King Edward, and his wife have spent much of their recent time in the sumptuous homes of England, it is doubtful if they have seen many that rival their own splendid residence, Ophir Farm, near White Plains, N. Y. Ophir Farm, with its grounds, is one of the finest estates in America. It rivals even Biltmore, the magnificent Vanderbilt Lome in North Carolina, in the splendor of its appointments, although the grounds of the latter are very much more extensive. The estate is'really a farm, not only one in name. It contains more than 900 acres of land, of which more than half are under cultivation. Herds of cows are kept, together with great flocks of chickens, ducks, turkeys and other fowl, and more than thirty horses inhabit the Ophir Farm stables. Prominent among the live stock of the estate are the Kerry cattle, “the little Irish cows,” winch were first imported by Mr. Reid. The Ophir Farm herd of Kerry cows gives better returns in milk and butter in proportion to the quantity of food consumed than the Jerseys, although Ophir Farm lias a number of prize winners of the latter breed. All the products of Ophir Farm are for home consumption, nothing being intended for the general market. The estate is trader the control of a manager, who is a practical Vermont farmer. He is assisted by a force of more than fifty men besides the retinue of servants for the hall, as the dwelling house is known. Some of the hands live in the farmhouse, while others lodge near by and take their meals there. Two blacksmiths and a carpenter are constantly employed about the

The most interesting part of Ophir Farm is undoubtedly the mansion. This is a splendid graystone edifice, enormous in size, with a battlemented tower. Being situated on an eminence more than 400 feet high, it commands a wide view of the surrounding country. The bouse lias bad a most unfortunate history. It was built by the late Benjamin Halliday, the western millionaire, who named the estate In honor of the Ophir mine, which brought him bis fortune. Misfortune overtook Halliday, ami he sold the place to John Roach, the shipbuilder The latter in turn lost .his fortune. Ophir Farm was sold by his son to Mr. Reid. During tlie present ownership the Hall wi i burned, and rebuilding cost Mr. Reid nearly $1,000,000. Ophir castle, or ball, is splendidly decorated and contains much famous painting, statuary, carving aud tapestry. An Idea of the enormous size of tlie house may be gained from tlie hail, wblcb is 72 feet in length and 22 feet wide. A stained glass window at the top of the main staircase is 15 feet wide nnd Is made in three sections. The library is 43 feet long, 32 feet wide and 18 feet high. Many artists during tlie summer make Ophir Farm a point of pilgrimage, and their easels may be seen dotted all over the place. They are welcomed by Mr. Reid, wbe Is himself an art connoisseur. Ophir castle is frequently given up to entertainments, for both Mr. nnd Mrs. Reid are fond of society. Mrs. Reid Is a beautiful and accomplished woman, who has moved in the best social circles of America and Europe. She is a daughter of Darius O. Mills, the well known New York financier and philanthropist. Mrs. Reid was born in Now York city Jan 0, 1858, but much of her earlier years were spent at her father's California home, known as Millbrae. Here she met Mr. Reid In 1878. nnd they were married three years Inter. At Millbrae Mrs Reid laid foundation for her later fondness for Ophir Farm, for the former place was nt thut time the finest nnd most extensive country estate on the Pacific coast.

THE CUBAN OUTLOOK » New Republic Starting Out In a Way Very Satisfactory to Its • Executive Head. THE FUTURE OF THE ISLAND The Annual Message of President Palma Is Charged With Buoyant Optimism—Banking on the Sympathy of the American People. Havana, Nov. 4. —The Cuban congress, which adjourned Oct. 20, reconvened yesterday. President Palma, in his message to congress, takes an optimistic view of the future of the republic. He refers to the remarkably good order that has been preserved throughout the island, which he says is proof of the peaceful nature of the Cuban people. The president says also that the sanitary condition of Cuba is today even better than it was during the period of American intervention. “Our relations with the United States,” continues the message, "are especially cordial; proof of this is found in the negotiations between Cuba and the United States for a commercial treaty on a basis of mutual tariff concessions. The special object of this treaty is to obtain positive advantages for our products, particularly sugar, which is the principal basis of Cuban wealth. “It can be hoped, from the sympathy with which the American people regard us, and from the manifest interest which President Roosevelt entertains in the prosperity of Cuba, that a reasonable arrangement by means of this treaty can be arrived at. “The state of the treasury is extremely encouraging. The balance on hand is $1,561,942. This condition gives reason to hope that by the honest administration of the public revenue there will be sufficient funds to give important encouragement to agri cultural pursuits in all the provinces of the island.” President Palma makes mention of the foreign nations which have recognized the Cuban republic. His only reference to the Platt amendment was contained in a statement to the effect that he had made ample appropriation to carry on sanitation as provided for in the amendment.

New Executive Olli -ns. Washington, Nov. 4.—The office furniture of the White House was yesterday removed from the Jackson place residence to the new executive offices adjoining the White House. The offices will be ready for the pres ident upon his return from Oyster Bay. The living rooms in the remodeled White House also will be ready for occupancy when the president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrive on Thursday. It will be some time, however, before the parlors, reception room and dining room will be completed. Where the Birds Thrive. The birds are not forgotten by the Swedish peasantry.

[J FOR OUICKCASrUALfci STRIKE COMMISSION Is Now Inve«ti*atihz lhe IlnzeltoH District. Hazelton. Pa.. Nov. 3.—The mine strike commissioners arrived at Hazelton this morning to spend four days in further acquainting themselves with the physical features of mining. They have not decided how they will divide their time while in the middle and lower districts. It is definitely decided that not more than four days will be devoted to the trip. Assistant Recorder Neill was left behind to receive the miners’ statement from President Mitchell today. On Thursday it is expected the operators’ counter statement will be presented. The commissioners will then take a recess until Friday, Nov. 14, by which time the two parties will be expected to have completed the preparation of their cases and be ready to go on with the hearings. The commissioners will also devote the interim to preparation for the hearings by acquainting themselves with the details of the two statements. Coal Movement. Wllkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 4.—Although the various coa’i companies are not prepared to give figures, it is known that the ou’put of coal in the anthracite region yesterday was larger than any day since the collieries resumed operations, eleven days ago. The volume of coal going to other than home markets is also larger. Last week local dealers in the coal towns would not. accept orders for immediate delivery. Orders were booked three and four days ahead. Now the home consumers of hard coal are pretty well supplied and this allows a heavier tonnage to go to other markets. VEN EZ U ELAN WARF AR K President Castro Strengthens His Stand Against Revolutionists.
