"Iler trammels quickly off she shook And straightway took a place as cook.

NO FALTERING BY

CUBAN GOVERNMENT No Peace Negotiations Will be Countenanced Which Inwolves Compromise. PALMA ADVISERS FIRM THE BUSINESS OF SUPPRESSING THE INSURRECTION IS DAILY BECOMING MORE METHODICAL. ifublishers Pressj Havana, Aug. .31. Upon tht high est official authority it 13 announced that President Palrka positively will not consider in efforts made in in terest cf peace in Cuba, any plans which involve political compromise by the government. In this, the presdent's official advisers, and practically all Ws closest friends, agree, thofe"helding different views being in ecided minority. The business of suppressing the in surrection Is daily becoming more methodical and developing more ability upon the part of those engaged in it. Secretary of the Treasury Sterling is spending most of his time at military headquarters, systematizing and directing the broader details of arming and equipping the recruits, which is steadily going forward. The victory of the government forces at Campo Florida, 20 miles east of Havana, resulting in the loss of 20 men killed for the insurgents', has net caused the. rejoicing here which might have been expected, as the men slain have relatives and friends here. Besides, the dominating sentiment In th3 country is anti-government, and in the cities 3 well as in the rural districts there are a number of people who are waiting the developments of events before declaring themselves for or against the insurrection. The authorities of several of the Cuban cities have caused the erection of earthworks as a protection against insurgent attacks. The governor of Santiga has received repoits of a rising at Songo, 20 miles from Santiago. Dispatchej from Can Juan do Martinez announce that Pino Guerra was reported to be moving northwestward toward 3 the mountains. THINGS THEATRICAL. Georgle Mack, known as the "vest pocket edition" of Chauucey Olcott, Is again with "Tracked Around the World." - .

John Drew b completing a tour o.' the south to enormous business, litis appearing in Augustus Thomas' de lightful comedy, "De Lancey." - Yvette Guilbert. the French singer, has met with success on her second American tour. She renders with exquisite touch and fine artistic effect numerous old French songs. Maude Fenley. who is the new leading lady with William Collier in "On the Quie," played with Sir Henry Irving last season and was especially noted for her Rosamond in "Becket." William-II. Crane builds up a sort of traveling stock company year after year. Several of the players In the cast of "The American Lord" have been with him for a number of seasons. ' Charts Frobman has sailed for Lon don for a stay covering many months. Before the 1st of Jane he will make feven productions in that city of English and American plays and make contracts for productions in Lon-on and New York for next season. THE ROYAL BOX. The sultan of Turkey's favorite amusement is playing the violin. The Prince of Wales killed his first tiger near Jaigulr, curiously enough, the very place where Kicg Edward ehot his first thirty years, ago. Left handedness has been common in the Prussian royal family for centuries. The crown prince of Germany is Ihi only child of the kaiser who is not left handed. Queen Margnerita of Italy, widow of the murdered King lluubert, is possessed of a knowledge of dramatic art that would make her the best dramatic critic In the kingdom If she were by chance forced to adopt a profession. , Queen Louise, wife of the new kin of Denmark, is the wealthiest princess In Europe. She inherited $15,000,000 from her maternal grandfather, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, as well as the bulk of the fortune of her father, King Charles of Sweden and Norway. ' GEMS OF THOUGHT. If one does not hold still when stung by a bee or by fate, the sting remains behind in the wound. Men. like their books, at their beginning and end have biank leaves Infancy and gray haired old 'age. Old people arc long shadows, it is true, and their evening sun, lies coldly on the earth, but they all point to the morning. Scatter flowers on the young maiden's coffin, ye blooming friends! Ye used to bring fiowers on her birthday feasts. She is now celebrating the greatest of them, for the bier is the cradle of heaven.

1-ltKU AND MfcRO'S SON.

Captain Cameron HcRae AVinalovr of (be Armored Cruiser Charleston. Captain Caceron McRae Winslaw, commander of the armored cruiser Charleston, which took Secretary of State Root and his family to Rio Janeiro for the pan-American congress, is not only the son of a hero, but a hero himself.' Ills father commanded the old Kearsarge in her famous fight with the Confederate cruiser Alabama. Captajrj Semmes, off the coast of France. Not content to rest upon the laurels of his distinguished sire, young Wins.low since he entered Annapolis , has been winning laurels of his own. During the Spanish war he was in command of the gunboat Nashville. His cutting of the cable at Cienfuegoa under a heavy Spanish fire was a feat with which the American newspapers were filled for days. Gaing into the harbor in the Nashville's steam cutter, leading launches from the Nashville and Marblehead, Winslow got so near to the enemy's trenches that he could are his revolver into them. The wate? CAHEIiON M'BAE WINSIjOW. aDout the American boats was splashing like a fountain because of the bullets from Spanish Mausers and machine guns, but Winslow, though men were falling at his side and he himself was shot in the hand, stuck to the job until It was finished. Recently it was suggested to the navy department that It would be a fitting compliment to this brave young sailor to give him the command of the new battleship Kearsarge, named after his father's ship. Shortly after the close f the Spanish war Winslow married Miss Dora Havemeyer, daughter of Theodore Havemeyer, the sugar magnate. TRAVELS BY AUTO. Kew Strc-.taeem of the Gypiy Moth, lion- the Pent Looks. A new charge against the automobile Is that it is furnishing free transpor tation to the disreputable gypsy moth, which, having devastated Massachusetts, has escaped into New Hampshire and Connecticut and is now be ginning to invade New York. The female gypsy cannot fly, so the spread of the pest is attributed to the intervention of vehicles, of which the automobile is the longest traveler. Accompanying the gypsy moth on its Journeys is the brown tall moth, which can fly very well and thus has a larger radius of action. State Entomologist E. P. Felt of New York has sent out warnings of the approach of this winged ally and asks that every one seen be at once reported to Albany. Two rows of warts down the back of the gypsy moth caterpillar make GYPSV. MOTH AND CATEBFIXIjAB. Jt easily distinguishable. The anterior warts are blue, and those toward the tail are red. The female lays its eggs In clusters of about 500 in July and August. They hatch out in the following April or May, and the minute the caterpillars emerge fromtheir cradles they begin to eat. They will eat anything green and at the slightest disturbance will jump from a tree and cling to the clothes of a passerby. The brown tail moth's caterpillar has white spots on each side and a singlo pair of red spots near the tail. He has barbed hairs, which cause intense irritation to the skin of any one coming In contact with him. He prefers the leaves of fruit and maple and elm trees. Cocoons and caterpillars of both kinds may be destroyed by spraying with a solution of five pounds cf arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of water. Congress at Its last session approI.rlated $SO,000 to fight the moth pest, and Dr. L. O. Howard of the government bureau of entomology Is now in New England planning a campaign of extermination. Besides spraying or cutting down infested trees. Dr. Howard employs imported parasites and European beetles, which climb tha trees and eat the caterpillars tip. Ouo ..--. uv: ia;f.

Ma.ii Who IT Ahcsvd And His Importance

N almost every newspaper you pick up you are pretty sure to find a lot of gush about the man behind the counter and the man behind th gun, the man behind the buzzsaw and the man behind the son, the man behind the times and the man behind his rents, the man behind the plowshare and the man behind the fence, the man behind the whistle and the man behind the cars, the man behind the kodak and the man behind the bars, the man behind his whiskers and the man behind his fists, and everything is entered on the list. But they've skipped another fellow, of whom noThing has een 6aid the fellow who is even or a little way ahead, who pays for what he gets, whose bills are always signed. He's a blamed sight more Important than the man who Is behind. All the editors and merchants and the whole commercial clan are Indebted for existence to this honest fellow man. He keeps us all in business, and his town Is never dead, and so we take off our hats to the man who Is ahead. Judge. A Well Timed Sermon. Prophet Crowdy, who has established a strange sect in Plainfield, N. J., is an Immensely tall, stout man, with a resonant, deep voice and a good sense of humor. As he preached on Sunday in Plainfield an auditor consulted Lis watc. whereupon the prophet, smiling, said: "Put up that watch, please, brother. Don't put me in the position of Bishop X. of Philadelphia. "Bishop X. preached one day last month on earthquakes, and after the service a man said to him: " 'An excellent sermon, bishop, and well timed. "The bishop smiled bitterly as he answered: " 'Yes, it certainly was well timed. Half the congregation had their watches out all the while I talked. "Philadelphia Bulletin. . ivV,jrSIC AT SEA. fon4:tiona Under Which Ships Sail Sometimes Sing. Some curious facts have been noted with regard to the sound conducting qualities of ships" sails. When rendered concave by a gentle breeze, the widespread sails of a ship are said to be excellent conductors of sound. A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil, far out of sight of i'and. Suddenly several of the crew, while walking along the deck, noticed that when passing and repassing a particular spot they always heard with great distinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung but a short distance away. Dumfounded by this phenomenon, they quickly communicated the discovery to their shipmates, but none of them was able to solve the enigma as to the origin of these seemingly mysterious sounds which came to them across the water. Months afterward, upon returning to Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy tlieir curiosity. Accordingly they mentioned the circumstance to their friends and were Informed that at tlw time when the sous were heard tho bells in the cathedral of San Salvador, on the coast, had been ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored by a gentle, steady breeze, had traveled a distance of upward of 100 miles over the smooth water and had been brought to a focus by the sails at the particular locality In which the sweet sounds were first heard. This is but' one of several instances of a similar kind, trustworthy authorities claiming that this same music is often heard under aomewhat the same circumstances anc2 especially In a moisture laden atmosphere. London TitBits. EnKlifih ltejrard For Teaching. If there is one occupation which Englishmen are unanimous in condemning as degraded and degrading it is that most fascinating, most difficult, delicate and Important work, the training of the mind."

And yet as it fails on a listening ear and leaves its message of melody earth's green s-ems brighter and life Is bweeter all through an autumn day. The coo of a babe is a little thing neaningless soulTd from a vacant mind. Bi 'tis the only sound that all nations heed the one clear language that all races know. A mother's love is a little thing to soon, alas, forgot! But it typifies to blind humankind the love and trust and hope divine that bear with patience calm and sweet tho willful wrongs In these lives of ours. A passing smile is a little thing lost in a world of toil and care. And yet the soul with gloom oppressed and the life grown wearied with burdens hard will happier be In the afterglow of a smile that Is warmly kind. A kindly word is a little thing a breath that goes and a sound that dies But the heart that gives and the heart that hears may know that It sings and sings and sings till at last it blends with the wild bird's song and the coo of babes in what men call the celestial choir .Mil Tukt Journal.

Performances of this afternoon and tonight will conclude a successful week in vaudeville at the Germett; a week that is notable because of the fact that Manager Swisher bro"ke over an established custom and put on vaudeville without illustrated songs or ' motion pictures and found the plan entirely feasible and satisfactory. Money that has heretofore been invested in these can now be put into the quality of the other features and performers' secured of greater ability than can usually be had for places of this size. The bill for next week will be announced in the Palladium Sunday morning. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Manager Murray has every reason to be pleased with the manner in which his house, the New Phillips, has Jbeen patronized this week, considering the fact that bad weather on various occasions and counter attractions all the time, have been encountered. A good, lively bill is running at the Phillips and it has proven attractive for audiences of liberal size. Those who have not yet seen it will no doubt take opportunity to do so either this afternoon or tonight. Anyone who cares for blackface monologue will be pleased with the work of Harry Turkey Boyd.
