Tlie Cuban constitutional convention did the only thin to do yesterday in accepting the IMatt amei duient. Any other action would have been worse than foolishness. The strike fever broke out in one of the public schools of llelleville, III., yesterday. The larger pupils struck for shorter study hours and coui-llc.l the smaller ones to join tluni Next. How to secure the most happiness in thi-i world is a problem that has never been sol veil. There are as many dirl'ereut opinions on the subject as there are human beintrs. The Iain (in )r. Johnson said: "There is nothing which has yet tieeu c-m-t rived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn. " President McKinley would not have tieeu severely criticised if he had pair no attention whatever to any talk of lepew aud Grosveuor. Indianapolis News.

The balance left in the hands of the committee will be used in promoting some other gathering. Logansport gets the F.lks' state convention in l'.M2.

Our school houses are less crowd d than are those of any other city in the state. All the prominent cities of the state have from ten to twelve more pupils to each school room than Richmond has. Their school houses average alout fifty pupils to the room. Richmond school houses average less than forty. The rooms are not all in use at that. There is at present not a dollar in the local school fund that could te used in building a new school house. In view of these facts, and in view of the additional fact that the city has almost reached its limit of indebted ues, 11 ceriainiv would ne unwise to build any new school house at this time. There has been a giKxl ileal of talk ou this subject lately not based on correct information. iue machinists strike now m progress seems likely to bring about the sharpest test that has vet been made of the merits of organization to regulate labor problems. In op position to the machinists organi zitiou the Natioual Meta! Trades As sociauon nas tnvn formed. It is composed of metal manufacturers throcghout the whole country. At a convention of this asstviation in New York yesterday S.mHUMD was appropriated and placed at the disposal of a "sti ike committee. " One of the officials of the association, when aked what use would be made of this fund. said. ' I suppse we will use it as the strikers do. to support their fellows, pay pickets and meet other general expenses. We used $lon,(NM in the Cleveland strike, where we paid .some uieu a tonus 01 ;u aav. mere are millions more if they are needed. We have just received a telegram from the Pacific coast pletgiug 114 out of loa firms to membership. We have delegations from San Francisco. Seattle and Portland, and the west is with us. We seek no trouble, but propose to protect our interests and industry. We are perfecting district organizations, which will be ia a measure independent, but all the! memters will be in the national asso-

c'ation and we will work together in harmony." On the other hand the machinists' organization is receiving encouragement from fo eign as well as home sources. Today's New York Herald says: "At the headquarters of the machinists in this city yesterday a cable dispatch was received from the Amalgamated Society of Kngineers, in fiO'idoa, promising tinancial aid. This society is the strongest trades union in the world, and is said to have over $S,Ooo,ihmi in its treasury. The American Federation of Ialwtr, it was declared, w ill tax its 2,000,000 members 10 cents each for the striking machinists.

DOWN SOUTH. A Day on a Texas Ranch as Seen by a Northern Woman. C urrc.ptmdrnce- Ktrhmoml Palladium; Dallas, Texs, June 10 At 4 in the morning we arise and take a hurried walk of two miles to the Texas & Pacific depot, where by appointment we meet our host ami hostess of the day. Together with several New York gentlemen and their wives we accompany our newmade friend and si end the day on his extensive cattle ranch. We board the fast express and wheel westward thirty-live miles to Ft. Worth over one of the grandest prairies you ever saw; now passing large fields of corn in full tassel, now whirling through hundreds 01 acres of cotton fields; next, grain fields seemingly unlimited. The roadway is one grand garden of Texas flora, miles and miles of nothing but yellow dasies (nigger heads they call them here), then wild oppies of various hues from white to deep purple, and numerous other flowers of which I am unfamilar. The wild flowers bloom the year around here and each month has something new to please the eye. Arriving at Fort Worth at 5: la we are escorted to the magnificent Hotel Worth, where we appease our ravenous ao pelites, a hearty meal well served, and we board the cars again and travel sixty-live miles southwest stopping at a little station called Wappe Hooken. Here we are met by the big covered ranch wagon hauled by six mules, the driver, an old colored man of ye olden ti ines. He is so old his wool that is what they call it down here is as white as snow. When oueoftheNew Yorkers asked howr old the driver was, he replied that he was alive at the time of the IUkhI and was floating on the water on a bale of cotton. He declares (the darkey does) that . he caught and ate the dove that was turned loose, that never returned. A drive of sixteen miles over a hot, dusty road, or trail, brought us hale and hearty to the gates of the large ranch where herded thousands of wild cattle. 1 tell you I was frightened when I saw the performance of lassoing and branding commenced. The men in the saddle would ride at full soeed. 1 throw tit louif Jjr-tM, , which would tly tbrouffh the air ia ool nrtrr coll and invariably fall over the horns of some fleeing animal. The horses knew their work and as sion as a cow was caught they would throw themselves back on their haunches, the long ropes were quickly fastened to the prostrate animal and the men with the red hot brands qiickly put the mark of their owner on the flank of the animal. We watched the jwrformance until late in the afternoon when we were escorted to the tents of the herders where we were served with a true ranchman's dinner, and not a very uninviting repast w is it. in fact it consisted of all the gO"d things of the season One of the great dishes here is called Mexican chili, pronounced chilley. Why it is called "chilley" I have no apprehension for it is the hottest stutT I ever tasted. It is made from Ix-ef and chili beans and is ground up to a thick gravy and seasoned with about two parts of red pepper. They sav it w ill cure a cold. I should say it would, for one taste caused me to feel as if 1 was a furnace the rest of the day; but they eat it and say it is good, lite at night. our return train landed us safe at Oallas and we felt grateful to our generous host for his kind attentions and for a delightful day spent on a Texas ranch. Mrs. Amaxu.v Beach. Getting Ready for Rome. There is going to tie a large colonization from this city at the assembly at Rome City this year from the present indications, but there is a complaint of a lack of cottages, the demand is so much in excess of former years. The cheapest cost a dollar a day, and those with boats and land ings cost 1 1.50 per day. At present there are none obtainable except the new ones teing built, and there are not many of them. The delegations to Petoskev and northern resorts will n t be as large as last year. Several w ho went last season will not be there this year. The Sand Iake party which has usually gone there, and" several of them own cottages there, have not yet decided wheu they will go, or whether they will go at all. One of them has rented his cottage for the season. Iiome City will catch most of them. Building Permits.

"The teot affectionate looking two handed jinn pl iy that 1 ever saw." said a Colorado c ntlemati in one of the house committee rooms, "was the one that haprened at I-a Junta, in my state, lxtwecn 'P,is IHvide Jim' Hrattoii and lietirtre Gannon, as pizenish a pair of real bad men of the tyjn that had now passed away as ever fanned a .4." or twisted a Ilowie. 'Cannon was the proprietor of the Gilt Kdre honkatonk in Ijt Junta, and it was at this pho-e that he had some trouble with Ilratton. The argument ended by Bratton hacking out of the door with his hands up. Gannon having the drop. Gannon didn't shoot then Ihv cause his sun wasn't loaded. He had leeii cleaning it and had forgotten to replace the cartridges. He'd have killed Bratton otherwise as a matter of course. "Tluit same night Bratton sent word to Gannon that he meditated shooting him up some on the following day. Gannon wasn't a mnn to take to the cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of notches on his gun barrel himself, and he walked around the next afternoon like a liht battery of artillery. 'Big 1I vide Jim' Bratton bulged him. however, by ttirtiinu a corner suddenly as Gannon paraded down t lie main street, and then it was Gannon's hands that went up for a change. Bratton had two guns covering him, ami Gannon knew his gait. "This,' said Bratton. Ms where I get an even break for my coin. Now. you like me so much. Gannon, that I want you to sort of show your appreciation of me by walkin around town linked arms with me for awhile." "It was up to Gannon to comply with this peculiar request. 'Big Hivide Jim Bratton jabbed his guns back into his Ull, and then he clutched Gannon's left arm and passed it through his right. The disadvantage of this arrangement accrued to Bratton. It left Gannon's pun arm free, while in case of argument Bratton would have to use his left gun. But 'Big Iiivide Jiiu' wasn't seltish. "The Mpulafion of I.a Junta was ama.ed to see "Big IMvide Jim' Bratton and George Gannon, who had always been more or less sore on each other and who had had a quarrel that meant the death of one or both of them on the night before, walking arm in arm up and down the main street of the town. It looked like a peripatetic love feast between the two of 'em. But they were watching each other like cats. At the end of the street Bratton, still with ln's riht arm linked to Gannon's left, stopped suddenly and said-: " 'George. I ain't much on the blowabout any gun suddenness that I may Msses9, but 1 sure want to give you a chance.

SIMPLE WORDS THAT HAVE TANGLED UP ENGLISH COURTS. Soiue Term- f Almost Everyday I e That i'roir4 to Be Too Irofound For the laiclllitvre of the Learued Reach aad Uar. In a case that came Ik-fore a famous lord justice some time ao the counsel for the prosecution iu the evidence had to mention a "blouse." The judge asked what a blouse was. and it was explained that this was jiart of a lady's dress. P.ut the case came to a dead stop fur the time, for the judge did not know which part, and after some hesitation the barrister admitted that he wasn't sure. Several learned brut hers gate their opinion, some opining a blouse was the upper half of a holy's costume, while others insisted it must be the lower half. The rutin; court, tilled with learned celebrities whose heads held all the laws of Britain, from pitch and toss to manslaughter, argued it out. but ihiIkmIv was sure. The Judge thought it was the lower half, but a junior barrister who had lately been married said he thought that that half was called a skirt, but did not feci certain. At length a lady was called, who set the court right. Another odd dilemma happened not long ago when lu the Ilobson "horse faking" case the word "fetlock" arose. A fetlock, as every btxly knows, is the ankle of a horse. The court asked what It was. however, and the prosecuting counsel was nonplused. The witnesses were out of court save one, and he knew nothing. The judge thought a fetlock was a sort of hind knee, otherwise 'hock," but one learued brother was o,uite certain it was the look of hair that hangs over a horse's forehead. The defendant's solicitor opined it was that part of the harness which slips over the tail, the crupper, and another legal celebrity agreed with the judge. Finally the court had to call a stable groom to clear up the mystery. In a case that was settled some years since the recorder was brought up short by a phrase used by the counsel for defense, who sioke of a transaction concerning a pound of "blacklead." This is a common and useful article, but the counsel on Itcing asked to explaiu its nature said it was a black substance used for boot polishing. The recorder thought it was a mineral used in lead iencils, but another barrister asserted it to le a "tough kind of lead used for rooting houses." The case was brought to a standstill, and one lawyer, unsurpassed in legal knowledge, declared that blacklead v:is a slang term for pig iron as produced in the north country. A fourth exHunder ot the law vaguely suggested it was the opposite of white load, a m finally a domestic servant put the court right, and the assembly at last learned that it was used for blacking stoves. Another dilemma was produced a little while ago on the western circuit by the introduction of the words "dry nurse" In an address to the court. This bewildered the Judge, who asked If a dry nurse was a nurse who dried babies after they had been washed. That solution did not occur to the learned counsel, who, alter some hesitation, said he thought it meant a nurse who was not addicted to drinking and therefore most suitable to look after infants. Nobody seemed to know what the term really meant, though several more mat a dry nurse was one who could not amuse children. The court was again nonplused by a statement made that somebody concerned in the case supposed to suffer from melancrlia was really "as Jolly as a sandboy." The judge wanted to know what a sandboy was In order to form some idea as to the exact degree of jollity involved. The counsel could not tell him. though one suggested it was a boy who sanded the roads and the other thought It might be a lad building sand castles on the seashore. The whole court stopped to discuss what a sandboy was and why he was jolly, but they could not solve the problem. It Is hardly believable that anybody Should not know what a "snaffle" is. hut a London magistrate recently desired to le Informed, and nobody could toll him what a snatile might be. A solicitor thought it was the same thing as the "curb," and the clerk, had an idea it was a kind of cold iu the head which horses caught, causing them to snutlle a good deal. London Answers.

VANITY OF SAVAGES. Tied Mr loo to lne la (irolraqiit Atllve Before the Camera. As evidence of the extent to whu-H the ornamental pr-cedcs the useful Ktplorer IlumU'ldt noted the fact that the Oriumv Indians in fa;r weather strutted aUuit attired In ail the finery they were able to procure, their fa-es painted gaudily, their heads decked with feathers, their whole aim U -ins; to strike astonishment to the hchuUh r and no regard whatever hail for comfort. When the weather was bad. Iliiintoldt found that the same nun would doff their clothing and carry it about to save it for display on future suuny days. The same traits are seen today in the North American Indians, little modi tied by many jcars of intermingling with civilization. That part of Pennsylvania avenue. Washington, running from Second :o Sixth street is the favorite promemide of visiting Indians. Portions of Second and Third street, running off the avenue, are fillet with loardiiig houses especially patronized by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites in consequence. A numUT of photographers in the vicinity are the chief attractions of this neigMwhood for the aborigines. Nothing so delights them as to strut gravely from their Imai-ding houses to these art galleries to sit for solemn pictures at I'ncle Sam's expense, the bill being charged in with necessaries incidental to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for Ids photograph hi
