Coprrisbted. lS77r tj Associated Press. ilANAGTJA, Nicaragua, Jan. 2. "With little Treating of drums or "blowing of trumpets, a -warlike move tipon the pars of the republic of Colombia is navr be lieved to have been checkmated by the republic of ISTcaragna, although fur ther news from, the objective point, Corn island, is anxiously expected here. About a month ago the government of ISicaragna "was informed unofScraTly, that Colombia had planned to make a landing on Corn island, a valuable Ptrategic spot, situated about 36 miles ofL ilosqciro coast, belonging to Nicara gua, vrhose Sag is to be hauled down aa& the ensign of Colombia subsituted far it. It -was alleged that Nicaragua "was overtaxing Corn island and that the inhabitants, numbering a few hundred, had appealed to Colombia for redress on the grounds that the territory, some five rafles long, -which formerly belonged to Oriombia was unlawfully held by 2tTcar- ; ngua. It was further stated that the prefect of San Andrez, Colombia, had assembled a military force and was only waiting for the arrival of a Colombian. gusboas in order to embark the troops to proceed to Corn island, seize it and fortify it against the possibility of re capture. Zelaja Acts Promptly. That such a plan was discussed there is Ko reason to doubt, but President Zekiya of Nicaragua took prompt steps to meet this move upon the part of the neighboring republic. Very quietly de tachments of Nicaragua troops were as Eembfed here and at Granada and when all was ready they were sent in small parties across Lake Nicaragua and down the San Juaa river to Grey town and Biuefieids. By this time the soldiers of Nicaragua arc believed to be in possess ion of Eig and littie Com island, for there are two of them, and the work of erecting a strong fort should be prr gressig. The troops took all their best guns available and a supply of ammuni tion and other supplies. Storehouses are aba to be constructed at Corn island. Of course if the Colombian expedition started earlier than expected and reached Cam island before the Nicaragua n troops, fighting nwy have occurred be fore this, and if so. the matter may lead to a general upheaval in Central Amer ica, for Colombia was warned diploma tically and through the press early last mouth that her seizure of Corn island might lead to a warlike combination of the republics of Salvador and Honduras, in support of Nicaragua against her. Colombia was also advised if she stffl maintained that she had rights over Corn island, to submit them to the arbitration of a disinterested republic. To these threats and suggestions, appar ently no attention was paid, for it was announced that the Colombian gunboat was being fimd up for the transporta tion of Colombian troops to Corn island. It is hoped here that the Nicaraguan forces reached there in advance of the Colombian detachment. CoTetM hy Grrat Urftaln, Borne years ago at the time work was beginning on the maritime canal of Nicaragua, it was reported that Great Britain was contemplating laying hands on Com island which, situated at a con veaient distance from the Atlantic en trance of the canal, would have been quickly converted into another of the chains of British forts off the American coast and would have enabled her to be practically in command of the eastern entrance of the waterway, which is in time to join the Atlantic to the Pacific. Thereupon Nicaragua, acting upon sug gestions, possibly from the United States, took official possession of both Big and Little Com islands, hoisting the Nicara guan Sag over them with much cere mony and giving diplomatic notice of the same. The British claim to Corn island is understood to be based on her former pretentions, since given up, to a protec torate over the Mosquito territory and because Colombia, which originally owned Com island, ceded the islands to King George, then the governing chief tain, under British auspices of the Mos quito reservation. Colombia, however, insists that Corn island was only ceded to King George on the condition that i; was to be returned whenever required. Nicaragua, as present owner of what was the Mosquito reservation, now part of the republic of Nicaragua, disputes the point, and especially as the time for raising- it officially has long since passed away and holds that Com island was part of the Mosquito territory and as such is now a portion of Nicaraguan ter ritory. It will thus.be seen that the dispute is & pretty one as it stands, and that much may depend upon which country's troops first land on Com island and place it in a state of defense. The Nica raguan government has strong hopes that the blue and white flag of Nicara gua is now floating over Com island, otherwise this news would not have been allowed to leak out. Com island is considered to be the healthiest spot about the coast of Cen tral America. The ground is so high above the sea and the sides of the larger island are rocky and admirably adapted to be converted into strong fortifications. The inhabitants are mainly Indians and smugglers, also there are a few Ameri can and English merchants doing busi ness there. Both Big and little Com island afford good anchorage to the lartrest vessels close to the shore, and in short a better spot for coaling station and repair shop for the United States war vessels could hardly be found. Un der the crrcinastances, when the Nica Vjjiym canal is built, it would be good policy for the United States to obtain possession of the Com island by pur chase or otherwise, and have a fine sen try box almost at the Atlantic entrance cf the proposed new waterway, thus set tling all disputes as to ownership.

Virginia Demons looks back to her earliest childhood to find the first traces of the maternal instinct, the power in almost all of her important pictures. She cannot remember a time when she did not thTtife' cf children o her own children that were to be. The children who now exist influenced the life long before they were bora. When she became a mother, the little ones resembled strongly the chit dren she had depicted in her painting! years before. She has lately written: '"Ma ternity is the most beautiful, the healthi est glory of woman. It is a Ioto dream In palpable form, and comes smilingly to de mand our tenderness and our kisses. It is the inexhaustible source whence femi nine art draws its purest inspirations." "A Painter of Motherhood," by Mrs. Lee Bacon, in Century . ; Thousands of Tons of Dost. According to the estimates of Mr, J. A. Udden, who has studied the remark able phenomena of dust and sand storms in tin arid regions of the west, every cubic mile of the lower air during an ordinary "dry storm" contains at least 225 tons of dust, while in severe storms of this kind as much as 126,900 tons of dust and sand may be contained in a cubic mile of air. Dust storms some times last for 20 or 30 hours. To See Plainly. The more I think of it I find this conclusion more impressed upon me, that the greatest thing a human soul ever does ia this world is to see some thing and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clear ly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one. Buskin. Belgium's Hoyalty.

The Oldest "Woman's Club. New York claims to have the oldest woman's club is the country. It isn't So rcsis either, but the Society For the Belief of Poor Widows and Orphans. It was or ganized in 1797 and has ever since been in existence. The orphan asylum on River side drive is one of the direct results of the work of this old society, with which many names familiar to New York history are connected The first directress of the original orphan asylum society was Mrs. Hoffman; the second directress was Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. Mrs. Hamilton con tinned to be an officer nntll she removed from New York to Washington. There is a picture of "Mrs. General Hamilton" in the committee room of the asylum, and an Interesting memento of her is a mat used until last year to rest the Bible on as committee meetings. That mat is knitted a plain stitch, such as used in knitting stockings, and ia in stripes of different colors. There is a blue fringe around it, and it is lined. On the back of the lining in sample stitches are the werds: "Mrs. A. Hamilton. Hade in her ninety-fourth year." OQy Skins. Sufferers from oiliness of skin muss, of course, consider what produces this com plaint and take active measures to cure is. It is caused by either weakness or some disorder of the system, and the diet should be carefully attended to first of alL Rich foods of all kinds muss be given up, and plain nursery cooking, with plenty of fruit and vegetables, taken instead. Hot, ill ventilated rooms muss be avoid ed, as well as lata hours and heavy bed clothing. Plenty of outdoor exercise must ba a daily item in our life. A daily bath of tepid water, douche baths and an occa sional Turkish bath most bo taken. But this hiss must never be taken except under medical orders. Aperient medicines should be taken in the morning and fresh fruit eaten while dressing: Apples or oranges are advised as this hour. If fresh fruit is difficult to obtain, French plains, figs dipped in oil or prunes may be taken instead. Salads shoold be eaten for breakfast and lunch. Watercress aad dandelions can be advan tageously used fcr this purpose, as well as lettuce. Secretary 3IcCraitU Out of Office. LnHAyAPOiis, Jan. l. Secretary Mc Qraith of the American Federation of Labor gave up his office yesterday. In a letter he reiterates his charges against President Gcmpers, which created the gensation at the recent convention of the federation at Cincinnati.

The incident rams under bis own notice and occurred under the bridge over the Lcchy, below the Ben Nevis Lang John distillery. From this tale it is obvious that animals are only sober from lack of wit to obtain alcohol: "That establishment disgorges into a burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt al coholic When we crossed the bridge in the morning to fish, the ducks from the farm opposite were behaving in a drunk- j en and disorderly manner fiying, heat-: ing the water, diving, spluttering and ! greedily devouring the stuff from the distillery. Their antics were funny, but . vulgar. By 2 o'clock we found the j ducks sleeping off the effects of their -? i t TT- t J? r T r I aeoancn- e avveuea mem, ana tney all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quenched the tor ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav ed in a still mare deplorable way. He slowly drifted down the Lcchy from the fatal intoxicating bum, nor could peb bles judiciously thrown air him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessful. After drifting through the bridge I re gret to say that he returned to the bum and "took a cup of kindness yet," get ting all the more intasicated and drift ing back in a yet mare deplorable condi tion. What a lesson, we said, is this to mankind, who, after all, need not speak of their boasted reasonableness I The wild and tame things of stream and ocean are as unwise as we. " Eeason la the I-oer Animals. We have a fox terrier whose happi ness was complete until Dodgerfield came. She is very affectionate, conse quently very jealous. If looks and growls would kill, Dodgerfield would die many times a day. Both dogs eat from the same plate, but not at the same time. One day last week we fed Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was very hungry and begged hard for first dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more slowly than usual, and Nettie watched dolefully. Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and she barked sharply three short barks. Dodger left hi plate and sprang to the window, looking excitedly up and down the road. Nettie looked neither to the right nor the left, but made straight far the plate of food as soon as Dodger's back was turned. If this was not an exhibition of reason and human intelligence, then mankind in general possesses a large degree of ani mal "instinct.' Dog Fancier. Two liats of Presidents. John Adams. J. Q. Adams.

St. Louis Repub lic. GARISH BOOK BINDINGS. 5hey Are In Sad Taste and Are Disliked by Boolrworm and Scholar. Books have a right to be, first of all, books, not purveyors of whimsies in color and design. As matters are at this moment three-quarters of the new books look more like some strange en tree at a feast than like everyday edi bles. You take up one, and it has the air of a curious ragout; there are un known fragments of design floating in a sauce of queer elemental color. The next one has an air as honest as apple sauce at first glance ; 'tis a pale greenish thing, but presently you see that the trail of a serpent is over all its border. And who can hope for content from a dish thus garnished Again a book, and this one burns bright red and yellow, like a pudding an fire with cognac, which is all very well for a pudding. Another has a cover which looks like a resisting beefsteak pounded by the stern hand of fate in a boarding house; another reminds you irresistibly of coffee wherein c hickory has tco much inserted its diluting aid and cream is missing. But, first and last, the new books are ever more prone to resemble small plots of deceptive stage verdure than honest, simple souled bcoks. It is impossible to help doubt ing the value of the literary pasturage to be found in such inclosures. Fortu nately one is sometimes most joyously deceived. Authors have little "say" concerning the garb of their volumes, and. often-rrgood luck to them they rise superior to the mechanical makers of books and rejoice the souls cf their readers in spite of the bindings. And it must be repeated that in the present bizarre and excessive fancies in binding there is seed of abounding hope for thefuture. Publishers are groping far something; few of them know what. But they will learn, and the world will be made glad by a genuine revival in the lovely old half forgotten craft of bookbinding. In that happy coming day there will be great honor far the men who lead the taste of this country to ward better things in bookbinding, sim pler and saner and more sincere.

A zobo is simply a hollow brass tube, fashioned in the form of any sf the va rious instruments of a brass band, hut having no keys. The sound ia produced by singing into the instrument. The cm?! hams, fashioned to look like cor nets, give to the human voice a sound as nearly as possible resembling that of a regular comet, with echo attachment, played with the echo key down. The cornets are intended to he played by soprano voices, the tenor herns by the altos and the heavier instruments, tram iprrtT-g; OF THE ZOBO BAS1X bones, baritones and euphoniums, by the tenor and bass voices. With the aid of the zobo comet the voice can reach notes that would make a grand opera prima donna turn faint with envy, and with the bass instruments a bass singer caT defy all vocal traditions by going sev eral notes lower than the lowest voice note recorded. The possibilities of the zobo as a means of adding attractiveness to class celebraticns became apparent recently to Principal David K Gaddis, the enter prising superintendent of Grammar school No. 54, on One Hundred and Fourth street, New York. A eefc of in struments was obtained and a band of boya and girls was formed under the di rection of .Miss Ledge, who had made a study of the zobo. It was found that aft er four rehearsals the band made a cred itable showing, and at the next exercises in connection with the school the zobo band was a feature that won delighted plaudits. There are 22 members of the band, including two drummers and a drum major. The novel band so pleased the leaders of the Kdrcn mission at One Hundred and Twenty-third street and First ave nue that they decided to get up a zobc entertainment, and this was done, the performance proving a great success. The bicyclists, being always on the lookout for anything that will add bright features to a wheelman's parade, seized the zobo idea with avidity. The Century Wheelmen of Philadelphia are becoming famous in the Quaker City for the clever zobo performances given at their celebrations. While it requires little practice to en able a band to play selections fairly well, it is possible to make really im pressive music when the zobos are "played" by fine singers. As the Cen tury Wheelmen nicked their players from among the best vocalists in the organization the result has been partio ularly satisfactory. New York Press. Kever Touched It.
