LATHROP 17 Court Street, HO Clinton Street, You Must Wear Hats, And you might as well buy them where you can get the WASHINGTON, June Herbert said to-day that it had not been determined whether a war vessel should be sent to the Florida coast to prevent any filibustering expedition going to the assistance of Cuban rebels.

Navy officials generally are of the opinion that no necessity exists for any such action. The navy department depends upon Secretary of State Olney. If he desires a war ship to patrol the coast, it will no doubt be sent. The position of the state department before has been that it is the duty of the United States to prevent any armed expedition going to make war upon a nation or possessions of a cation with which we are at peace but there is nothing to prevent the sale of arms or munitions of war. It has been held heretofore that a torpedo boat taken apart and shipped in sections could not be prevented by this government, but if a torpedo boat should be filled and sailed from a port of the United States this country would be responsible.

It has also been held that this government could not be required to prevent men from taking passage on a ship bound for Cuba unless they were a drilled and armed force. Apparently a nice dislinction may be made on what a filibustering expedition is if attempts are made by Americans to assist Cuba rebels. Will Send a Vessel. NEW YOKK, Juno 10 The administration has decided that a United States vessel shall be sent to Key West for co-operating with the revenue cutters in watching for filibustering expeditions leaving that and other places in Florida to aid Cuban insurgents.

COI.UMUS, June 10--The vote oJ tho Ohio miners as to whether they would accept or reject the proposition of the operators to pay 61 cents for screened coal per ton for mining resulted: For acceptance, against, 4, 351; majority, 740. The state miners officials say in their circular to-day to the miners of Ohio: '-you will thus seo that tho provisional agreement, made between the operators and your delegates on Juno 1, boon ratified and accepted by tho popular vote of the district. This makes tho agreement valid.

Locals will govern themselves accordingly, and will resume work under the provisions of said agreement. It must be borne in mind, that, distasteful as tho terms of this agreement are, wo have hopes of its being only temporary. It is only binding so far as the circumstances continue which forced its acceptance. If those circumstances change, which we are in hopes of, wo expect butter terms will be within our probabilities ero long." Secretary McBrydo, of tho national assembly, days the Ohio minors acted wisely in accepting the offer of tho operators, and if tho Pittsburg miners will do as well they will bo i a position to take tin advanced step by tho time tho fall trade opens. A BIG Sharpers Work the Fnblic Once More.

A Seed "Warranted to Grow Larger and Faster thau Jack's Famous Stalk. "They'll do anything but work," said Ofllcer HardendorfT to a reporter yesterday afternoon, and he pulled a small package out of his pocket containing about two dozen beans. The remark was made in response to that class of gentlemen of leisure who fondly imagine that the world owes them a living, and are consequently imposed upon when amnual labor is suggested as a way to acquire tho same. The beans were evidently nothing more than the ordinary kind which can be purchased on the market for $2 a bushel. The package carried by Officer Hardendorff was marked five cents.

At this rate the beans would bo worth about a peck. Tho package and tho beans studied strongly of cinnamon and it was in this that the advanced price had its origin. For several days past a set of sharpers have been going about and surrounding country BATH, N. June 10--Davis Rothschild, a leading business man of Bath, has received a letter from bis brother Morris Kothschild, who went to Germany last month, stating that an attempt was made to force him into the German army when he reached his father's house at Eishtol- ten, the latter part of May. After being there a week a policeman called nnd told him he was wanted at police headquarters at Jt'reyburg, about twelve miles distant.

Ho accompanied the oflicer there, was put into prison and kept there forty- eight 'hours, despite the protests that ho was a citizen of the United States and offered his passports and naturalization papers in proof. At the end of two (lavs he was brought before a military "court and examined and found to be eligible for service in the German army. His papers were taken from him and he was sentenced to six weeks in- prison, at the end of which' time he must begin a three years' term in the army. Davis Greismar, of New York, who accompanied Mr. Rothschild, employed a lawyer and thev laid the facts of the case before the military authorities with the result that the sentence was changed to a fine of 3,000 marks, and the papers were forwarded to the war department at Berlin, where they will decide whether Mr.

Rothschild shall serve his army term. Mr. Rothschild paid the fine, and pending decision of the war department he has gone over to Switzerland, whore he now is. Davis Rothschild will communicate at onee principal points in tho case aro that Orin Gaff, a farmer living on the John Galloway farm, three miles northwest of Huutortown, employed an old man whose name is unknown, in tho spring of 1891. Later, about June 17 of that year, Gaff and the old man had a dispute over the wages due, and the old man wont to Gaff's house about 9:30 to collect the money.

Shortly after a revolver shot was heard." Nothing was seen of the old man again. A week ago when Cy Faulkner was plowing in a lield he came to a mound where something had recently been buried and the horses refused to walk over It. Digging was subsequently done about this place which Mr. Faulkner could not readily locate, but nothing was found. These suspicions of fou! play may be very unjust to Mr.

Gaff, but the matter will be thoroughly looked up. Sheriff Clausmcser and Prosecutor Colorick went to the place yesterday nnd examined into the matter without makino- any further disclosures.

Ask a Itecoiver for Itoby. HAMMOND, June tho mperior court hero to-day Attorney selling "genuine California cinnamon beans" for the low price ot five cents a package. The police washed a little coloring matter off nnd although the odor of oil of cinnamon still hung around tho beans it was very plain that they were but of tho ordinary kind. The sharper who sold the beans guaranteed them if planted to grow up into anything from a palm tree to a grand piano. It is a very small matter, five cents worth of beans, but when it is considered that hundreds of packages havo been sold, tho ill-gotten gains of the swindler foot up to a goodly sum.

Tho thing to cause tho most chagrin is tho lack of culture among our citizens, for in tho good old town of Boston, tho hub of tho universe, it would havo been spotted as a swindle forthwith and tho sharper sent to the penitentiary for life for violating tho sanctity of the phaseolus vulgaris.

It was 3 o'clock, and at that hour tho yards are filled with trains switching back and forth. Five blocks away two passenger trains, bearing a couple of hundred passengers, stood on tho main track, directly in in the road of tho wild locomotive, nnd it appeared inevitable that a horrible casualfcy would result. Bwiteh- mcn ran out and made desperate efforts to catch the engine as it dashed by, but were Hung headlong, nnd several severely hurt. Within block of the two passenger trains, a switch engine manned by Engineer Frederick Shultx and Fireman Patrick Gray, backed unwittingly from a sidetrack directly in front'of the locomotive which, by that time, was traveling forty miles per hour.

In the collision which ensued Shultz and Gray were, jammed through the front of and the former was instantly beheaded. Gray was alsy crushed internally, and will probably die. The two engines were welded into cue shapeless mass, aud the track was torn up for a distance of several rods. The intervention of the switch engine, fatal though it was and attended by the sacrifice of two lives, was the means of saving many more. Tho runaway engine had just come in off of the road, and how it started is a mystery, as no one was near it at the time.

I have a scientific explanation of somnolence which overtakes people In church. I used to think that It was the dullness of tho sermon which provoked the sleep of the congregation.

One remembers ths actot- who gave a private reading of his play to a. company of his friends, and when ho was done their opinion. At last, when one began speak the playwright interrupted: 'iou can h.ivc no opinion; you were asleep." "Ah," replied the critic, "do you not know that sloop Is an opinion?" And sleep certainly Is an opinion, and not nn especially flattering one, says a writer in the Plttsbure Dispatch. But It may not mean that the sewnon Is really I have seen pcoplo sleep In church under all manner of circumstances, artd In thq hearing of the most admirable preachers, preaching the most eloquent sermons. I saw a man aaloep when Mr.

bpurgeon Pleached. Mr. Moody has more than once called out to have a Window opened to wake up a somnolent member of his audience. Canon Knox- Llttle is accounted a preached of more than usual earnestness and (lower, yet I remember onno In Worcester ucclna CJCL a minister, clad in surplice and stole, and seated In the chancel, EO straight to sleep while the canon preached, dls- reganlliiK the eyes of the congregation. And once when Mr.

Gore delivered a sermon In that great abbey where he Is now canon, people who aat In the neighborhood went to bleep in No; iny theory Is that most times when the congregation sleep during the sermon they are simply hypnotized. For, consider the situation. Most of the condition? which the hypnotist desires present.
