Spain ha sent more troops to Cuba

during the revolutionary war, or during
the war of 1812, or than Scott had when
he conquered Mexico in 1M7. Spanish

An ingenious inventor la reported to
have taken out a great many patent

Among these are coffins, staircases,

of applying glass to a great many uses
la not a new one, the mating of door
entirely of glass being suggested more
than a quarter of a century ago, and
even glass brick for use in building
walls waa not un thought of than as pos
sible for some time In the future.

If only one-half of the remarkable
tory of Mr. T. Zell Hoover, of Wash
ington, D. C, be true. Lord Sackvllle,
ex-British Minleter to the t o! ted Slate,
will shortly become an object of pub
lic commiseration. The punishment
which Mr. Cleveland's Burchard Buf
fered aeema almost more than fitted to
the crime. To begin with. Lord 8ack
rllle wrote a letter from Beverly. Sept i
13. lHfH to the mythical Mr. Murcblson
of California, advising him and all
; other Anglo-Americana to work and
vote for Mr. Cleveland because the
policy of the Democratic party waa
best adapted to advance British Inter
ests In this coon try. Lord Sackvllle re
cards this letter as simply "Incautious."
The administration at Washington did
....., !,
was looked upon as Impertinent and
stupid, and as the outcome of It he waa
Incontently flred as a persona non grata
and lost hi poslton and his wagea.
Thia was the first penalty which he
paid. Now cornea the atatement of Mr.
Hoover, a rather unsavory but appar
ently truthful Mllealan adventurer, that
Lord Sackvllle was the victim of an
other plot. In which Hoover and one
Jeasup figured and which was of so
grewsotne a character that he sought
ahelter for a time on a Federal gun
boat. Again It wa a mysterious let
ter. In which Backvllle was Informed
that there was a Fenian dynamite plot
to blow him and his legation building
sky high. Both Hoover and Jessup
played the confidence game upon him
so adroitly that between them they got
several thousand dollars out of him,
which they accomplished by sangui
nary stories related to him ami by
planting harmless lead pipes under his
porch. Hoover says he had "four
months of mighty easy picking." Hoov
er la now lamenting because Jessup got
more than he did, and thinks that If
he had been a little more graRpIng he
might have sent Sackvllle home In the
steerage. But In his own language, "a
feller never knows, wen he has a good
thing, how ter nurse It." Had Hoover
kept his plot to himself be might have
accumulated quit a little fortune, but
he let JesHiip Into It and empliryed go
between. Corner, the carpenter; Jos
eph and Hlrsch, the conatables, and the
redoubtable John Pope Hodnett, all of
whom soon became principals and be
gan bleeding the Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister I'lenlpotcnltary of Great
Britain on their own account Between
them all Hackvtlle's life became a bur
den to .him. riots followed plots, and
dynamite bombs Itegan to spring up as
thickly aa mushrooms, so that it mnst
have been a relief to him when he left
thia "blarsted country" and was once
more ensconced safely under the Brit
ish Aegis. This was the second penalty
which he paid. The Sackvllle cup, how
ever, wag not yet filled. It was bail
enough to have been fooled with the
fatal letter of the mythical Murchion,
to have had a confidence game played
upon him by mythical Fenians, to have
lost thousands of dollars aud even
tually his position, and have' been
obliged to pack up and go home In of
ficial disgrace, but a more humiliating
Incident wan lu atore, which demon
strate the sorrow likely to overtake a
man who la destitute of Imagination
aud humor. In the midst of all these
troubles came a letter from an enter
prising Bowery showman offering him
$2,000 a week and expenses If he and
his suite would hold two levees dally
In his "palatial museum." Even at this
late day he does not see the Joke of the
offer, but Beta It down In his recent
brochure aa a serious, premeditated
buslneas arrangement, and philoso
phize upon it a a demonstration of
the low deptha of depravity to which
Americans have fallen. Finally in bis
brochure Lork Sackvllle refer to Don
M. Dickinson as the member of Mr.
Cleveland's Cabinet who waa mainly
responsible for hi dismissal. Mr.
Dickinson sums up his opinion of Sack
vllle In the following sententious fash
Ion: "I have no hesitation In saying
that he la now and always has been an
infernal ass." If there were any doubt
about this his own pamphlet would
demonstrate the truth of tlie charjre
and sufficiently establish his relation
ship to Dogberry. It is given to few
men to raise a guffaw round the world,
but Sir Lionel SackvllJe-West late Kn
voy Extraordinary and Minister Plen
ipotentiary from the Court of St. James
to the United States, has accomplished
the feat. Thus he baa proved himself
after all a public benefactor by adding
to the gayery of the nation.

Uellkfokte, Pa., Oct. 81. Two
students bav been expelled from th
State college and fourteen Indefinitely
suspended for hazing, and in addition
most of them, or maybe all of tbem,
may get into the criminal court be
fore the affair is entirely at an end.
As is usual the optming of each college
year the higher men undertook to
initiate the freshmen in the usual way j
t.y sriving each one a good hazing. j
Among the (reshmeu were two
brothers who bad taseu room and
board in the family of Daniel Shivery
in the village near the college. These
the students were unable te catch until
one night recently, when a large crowd
of the higher class men got together
and surrounded the house of Mr.
Mi I very and demanded the surrender
into their hands of the two yo-ng men.
The demand waa refused, whore upon
the crowd opened lire with one of the
college cannons they had surreptiti
ously taken with them and which had
been loaded for the occasion with
tone, old tomato cans and most all
kinds of dirt right at the house.
Windows were broken, furniture in
side the bouse waa badly demolished
aud the outside of the house was badly
defaced and besmirched. Two shots
were fired, by which all the inmates of
the house were pretty badly frightened,
except Mr. Shivery and one of the stu
dents. They were equal to the emer
gency. Each of them hastily secured
a doiible-barrelled shotgun and sallied 1
forth Into the crowd, demanding their
immediate withdrawal, under threats
of being lired Into if they refused. Act
ing with discretion the crowd began to
withdraw, attempting to take with
them the cannon, but this Mr. Shivery
held as a ransom until his loss and
damage may be made good.
The names of most of the students
taking part in the Dighi'a work wtre
known and reported to the faculty.
Two of the number, the ringleaders,
were expelled and under such a cloud
that they may be unable to enter any
of the colleges of the United States,

Ciiicaoo, 111., Oct. 30. Counsel for
the defense cempleted his case before
tne Pag ue court-martial vtsterday
morning. Some rebuttal evidence waa
then brought In by the jiidi;e advocate,
who scored a point by establishing his
riff ht to offer expert medical testimony
regarding the mental condition of the
accused aa shown by the statements of
witnesses for the defense. At the
morning st-ssion four of I'ague's
brother oflict-rs testified aa to peculiar
ities in his conduct lately, and Post
Surgeon Strong once more affirmed
that the prisoner was perfectly sober
on thti day of the shooting.
Post Mirgeon Girard, called by the
judge advocate, was asked to state,
after having heard the evidence for the
defense, what, if anything, in his opin
ion, was the accused suffering from on
October 3. Attorney Blair promptly
obj-cted to the question, chiefly on the
ground that the witness had not heard
nil the testimony, as he waa not pres
ent at the secret session when Pague
was placed on the stand and told the
Story of the immediate evauts preced
ing tbe shooting. The objection was
overruled. Tbe witness said that the
various symptoms testified to, taken
in the aggregate, represented features
of chronic alcoholism, with occasional
spells of acute alcoholic mania. The
court willliHteii to arguments of coun
sel today, which are expected to be
brief, aud the ca.se so far as the public
proceedings are concerned will then be
