Alliance Basketball Team Scored esOften asThey Pleased—Locals Played

:■ to-Careless. Game.

Tho Orep.a, basketball team was Water* ‘ looed last bight by tbe Alliance team oi New York, The score was 24 to l9. Tbat It was not more overwbelailng mm due to tbe fouls made by the visitors and, not to anything creditable to the Oreos.

The victors outplayed the Oreoa at every point and made goals as often as they desired. Carelessness and, at times, silly playing characterized the work of several of the locals.

As a rule tbe Alliance boys mad6 their goals when there was no one to prevent the player from taking a ladder and climbing up to the basket’s rim with the ball.

For the visitors Barley, and Allendorf played the best game and for the Orenst Dudley and Hankins.

WINDOWS or A SOUL.

BY ELLIOTT PI.OWBR.

(Copyrighted, 1900, Dally Story Pub. Co.)

I t was a foregone conclusion that tht .interview would be a painful one. Both realized that, and yet both also realized ; that it was necessary.; Isabelle Morris en­deavored to relieve herself of the responsi­

b ility by the reflection that she:had not sought it—indeed, had' tried to avoid it She frould have preferred to let her briel little note end everything, but he had per­sisted in demanding a personal explana­tion, and—well, if Bhe had to give him pain, it waa hia own fault. A t least she would speak plainly.. No other course wat possible.

He, on the other hand, excused Jiis per­sistency on the plea that an explanation was due to him. She had acted in a most extraordinary manner, and it was his right to know why and to know jt from hei own lips. I f the interview proved distress­ing to both of them, the fault lay with her. The course she had pursued was the cause of the present unusual complications.

'‘Isabelle!” he exclaimed, when she en­tered the room.

“Mr. Williston—Edward,” she returned in a kindly tone and yet with an air oi dignity that checked him as he was ad­vancing to her side, "please do not rtiake ihM interviewany h.arder.than necessary.”

“Harder!” he cried, impetuously. “Why is it necessary at.all? W hy.did you lead me to believe that you loved me and then suddenly request me to return your letters and cease to call upon you? Have I done anything to forfeit your love or your re­spect? Te!i me! Have l?”

‘ ' ' was close to her now, and she drew ' -!■: n little. Her eyes were averted, too,

n.i; Plm did rnr lnqkat him-witll•is ;.’J iranE, clear gaze to which he was acru,tamed.

" T am not a girl who is capable of great love,” she replied, cjuietly, “and there arc other considerations that enter into the question of marriage. I did like you, and 1 still like vou, but it is not love.”

“ Ymf -i.i not love me?" he demanded... “No?:. ' "

“ Look me in the face and tell me so «nd I will be content,” he persisted.

“ I do not iove you,” she answered, rathei faintly, but she was looking at the figures in the carpet.

“And you do love this Mr. Parkinson?”: She flashed up instantly. v ! 1 _ “ You have no right to speak that way!”

she exclaimed. “ I am to marry him; that is sufficient. I- told you so in my ndte Besides, it is not altogether a question otlove.” ' ■ -....i:

“ Not a question of love!” he repeated. “No. I have already told you that mine

is. hot a nature capable'of great love. Is not that confession enough? . I am world­ly, if you. will have it so. Mr. Parkinson is wealthy. That js not much initself, but it ■ way, mean much. He can give 'me' social position. As his wife I will receive the social attentions to which I have been in a measure accustomed and which mean So much to me. ■ And—.and he is a friend of

• papa’s.”; “You malign yourself," asserted Willi*-

ton, bitterly. ‘ ;“Sir!” ■ ■ 1 - ’ * 7 “ ..“ I beg your pardon, Isabelle—;Miss Mor­

ris,” he said, apologe^ica'ly. “I d id not wean that, but this is so unlike you," '

ing for myself and on my own judgnieVi'i.: ' i thought it would be easier for you if you understood,” she went on, etill- more gently; “ if you realize how little you are losing: I haven’t the stability— I am too much of a butterfly—to make you a good Wife. I airi satisfied that T do not know, and never shall know, what real is. I t is not in my nature to feel - it. I thought I could loVe, you know, • but—but I can’t.- I want gayety and pleasure; I want to be mistress •of a fine house and entertain; I want the admiration and attention that is possibly only in such surroundings as Mr. Parkin^ son can give me. I t—it’s contemptible of ine to feet so, but I do,”

“ If I were rich would you marry me ?” Her eyes were fixed on a ring with which

she waa toying.“Possibly I might—yes, I think I would,”

she said, faintly..- ---------- -----—1~“And you are throwing me over.because

I am n$t wealthy?”“Why are you so brutal?” she asked. “ Because I want to know.”“Well, then, yes, I am.” But it was evi­

dent that this was said with an effort.He looked at her long and fixedly, but

she did not return his gaze. She was not .nearly so strong and self-possessed as she had been at the beginning qf the interview, and she knew it. Possibly he saw some­thing of the weakness, too.

“Good-by," he said at last, and held out his hand. She saw the hand without, see­ing him, and quietly placed her own io it. He held, it so long that she involuntarily looked up, and then for tlie first time tiieii eyes met. ■ J

"You are letting me go,” he said, “be­cause—no; look at. me when you answer— because you do not really love me."

“Because I do not really love y ou,” she repeated.

“Because you are incapable of deep aiid Jaating—love—the love of- the' heart— anil the soul.”

She faltered. He was looking squarely into her eyes nnd she could not turn away, try as she might.

■“Don’t say it!” he exclaimed, suddenly; " it would not be true.”

An instant later he was ho'dipg a weal- and unresisting girl in hi6 arms and whis pering in her ear, “you are not the one whi is socially and. financially ambitious; am! you loVe me. I know it. I saw it through ‘tlie windows of your soul.’ ”

And Parkinson—well, Parkipsoii is jusl as good a "catch” as before, and there ari lots of girls who succeed in keeping tht “windoWs” closed.

ASHINGTON, Dec. 20. — Yester- s executive session of the senate dem-

or rated thnt the discussion of the Hay- D ncefoteAreaty by that body Is prric-

ly exhausted nnd that the senate is re y for the vote, which has been fixed fij today. When upon Senator Lodge's ittqoh the doors were closed yesterday

be called up the treaty, no senator ced a desire to speak upon it.

1 itbout making any special request for kera'Mr. Lodge asked the senate to np the treaty with Spain providing

he cession to the United States of the ppine Islands of Stbutn nnd Cagay-

nnEulu arid their dependencies in con- oldtatlon of the payment to Spain of $1«,000. Objection to this request wns mos by cever.al senators, including W?bro. ‘Hoar, Wellington and Bacon, pprScnator Lodge; with the hope of re- mo rig tlie objections made, went Into a brii explanation of the terms of the ne-gotI tiono. He explained that the islands •re [comprised In the Philippine, group andbaid they were supposed to have been cedO by Spain in the Paris, treaty, nnd theUnited States had taken possession

' of islands under this supposition. It . wflfjnoon found, however, that the defi-

•nltetine of our acquisition fixed by the treny cut both of them out. It is a rule of litv, he explained, that a definite bouu- darjdescription always superseded an in- defUte description. Hence in order to leavj no doubt of our ownership the treay for tlie cession of these islands had beernegotiated, and he believed that the Unlfd States would be saved much trou­ble p the future by consummating tho bargln. He characterized the proceed­ing i'the nature of n title quieting proc­ess. Mr. Lodge also called attention to tbe met that one of thrj islands is directly on tie line of communication with Bor­neo aid the straits, nnd he drew the con- eluslp that some day it ihight be impor­tant is a cable station.

Semtor Hoar , said he should like to haveknore time to consider the question, arid Senator Bacon nnid ‘ that notwith- Istahdng he Is a member of the commit­tee ol foreign relations he had not been preset when a report upon the. treaty was juthorized. He therefore would ap­preciate further opportunity to go over tht (hcument. Beuutor Wellington made unqualified objection.

Accordingly the treaty was laid aside . tot tlb time being.

: Coijsrend has authorized the president to ajpoint Representative Charles A. Boutdle y>t Maine to be a captain of the Unite! 8 to tea navy. on. the retired list. Wlthoit a word of opposition, even of combat, tbe senate passed the house resolution authorizing Mr. Boutclle’s re­tirement. i t is expected thnt tie presi­dent ylll approve the resolution and, in accorqmce with the authorization, nomi- rate am as a captain on the retired list of thejnavy. Sir. Boutelle is a member ot tha present honte of. representatives end a! member elect ot tbe next house. It is (assumed that he will resign his membirclilp in the house and thrift open tfhe w^y for bis retirement in accordance

■ tilth tie provision* of the resolution.Actldi from the transaction of some

routing business and the passage of Tl private ponoion bills tha senate did noth­ing of Importance In open session.

The jiouse at the end of n spirited con­test citendlng over two days passed bills t? compel the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads to abolish grade crossings, to alter their routes Irito the city and to change their terminal fncllitiis.

THE BO O Z IN Q U IRY

Cadet* Testify ilefore War Board Re- ffardliis Hur.init lit Weiit Polnl. . .

WEST POINT. Dec. 20.—The board of Inquiry appointed b.v the secretary of war to examine iu!,i t!-c death fit Cadet Oscar L. Booz of Pi iinxylv'ania, which, it has been charged, was caused by hazing he got while a first year man at the Milita­ry academy, resumed its, work yesterday. Promptly at 0:30 o'eioek the board met in the spacioiis room iu tiie north wing of the new academy building. The board, which is composed of Major General Brooke aud Brigadier Generals Bates and Cions, entered the inquiry room at 0:20 o’clock, and after a fen inin»te private conversation with Colonel Hein and Colo­nel Mills, respectively the commandant and superintendent of,'the academy, got down to business. V : :

On a blackboard behind the cadets tvas written the definition of the tJrm “To haze” as it appears iu the Century Dic­tionary. The cadets w* re required to get up, face about with their back's to the court and read Uiw d^iniition in one or two instauws as liie.v"iiter«l the room, but oftencr as,the qa ;.iioiis of the exam­iners' got down to a discussion of lihzing. The deflnitlon nvi!: ' To haze: To play mischievous or illiasive trick's upon; to try the pluck or. teaiper of, especially by physical persecution, us lower class .stu­dents in a college or-newcomers In an es­tablishment. of any kitidy”

After. the cadets read this deflpitidn they were asked if hazing, as defined there, was practiced at the academy, and they answered that it was not. The parts of the definition objected to were tlie words “abusive” and “persecution.”

Usually after Captain Sands had got through putting the routine questioija the different members of the board asked a few. General Brooke did most of tho talking for the board. He asked his questions in an impatient, testy manner and compelled the cadets to give him.di­rect answers. When tbey were evasive or Indirect, he would thump his desk and demand sharply thut they answer prompt­ly and to the point. \

The thread • of the examination \jns picked up where.it was dropped Tuesday night. The witnesses were all second class men, members of the duss to jvhlch Cadet Booz belonged. There are 08 of them in the academy, ind only 14 were examined at Tuesday's Session. They were all ready in their fdll dress uni­forms of gray, bluck and gold In an arite- room and came out one by one as they were summoned by a sergeant of artil­lery kept in waiting to act as messenger. Each cadet kept the stand for about ten minutes. The tenor of their answers to all questions pertaining to Booz indicated tbat his conduct in his fight with Cadet Keller had cost him the good , opinion of his fellow classmen, and it was clear that they had no s.vmpathy for him. When asked i f "bracing” and “stretching” and other exercises commonly thought to be hazing were still prnctii-ed at the acade­my, they invariably said “yes.” Tbey al­ways acknowledged the part they them­selves bore in such affairs, but forgot the nameB of other participants. Occasional­ly one cadet would give the name of a man out of the service.

The wnr office .Iust evening could give no information regarding the reports of a Boer Invasion of Cape Coloriy. Tin* officials expressed the opinion, however, that the. newspaper accounts were ex­aggerated and tbat probubly the troops who have been employed in chasing Gen­eral Do Wet will be diverted Jo deal with the invaders. Having regard to the cus­tomary methods of the war office, this can only be interpreted ns confirming the reports.

Lord Kitchener iu the meantime keeps a tight rein over the news, which in­creases the public disquietude. There is a ' persistent rumor that he has demanded heavy re-enforcements. ^

According to The Daily Mail, private telegrams received in London yesterday depict the situation iri Cape Colony as somewhat ominous. It seems that the in­vading Boers are receiving considerable assistance from the local Dutch and thnt the troops nt the disposal of the Briti-h authorities are not sufficient to cope with any serious spread of the military opera­tions.

It is believed that the government has at last awakened to the seriousness of the situation and is making the utmost efforts to provide Lord Kitchener with horses nnd mules.

TO ST OP IN SU RRECT ION .

General MacArtbur Issue* a General Warning. -

MANILA, Dec. 20.—Today General MacArtbur issued a proclamation warn­ing the inhabitants of the archipelago that hercirfter strict compliance with the laws of war will be required of noncom­batants as well as combatants. Tbe proc­lamation sets" forth the principal laws pf war. ■ ; •'

It refers to recent proclamations issued by insurgent commanders threatening taa- tives who are friendly to the American forces and also to the orders issued- to their men to kidnap and assassinate resi­dents of towns occupied by Americans. The iuBiirgent leaders are notified that such practices, if continued, will put an end to the possibility of their retraining normal civic relations nnd will make them fugitive criminals.

Residents of places occupied by Amer­icans are notified that compliance With the demands pf the enemy will create, a presumption thut such.acts are voluntary and’ malicious. They are also notified that pleas ot intimidation will rarely be ac­cepted aud that where secret cojnuiitWes are permitted to exist in behalf of the In­surgents even well disposed persons wijl be exposed to the danger of being tried as. traitors.

The1 .proclamation says that its warn­ings and requirements are to apply with special force to Manila, the “rendezvous of the emissaries of insurrection.” ,,

Newspapers are warned against pub- lishing ss ditioB,-atid -the proclamation de­clares that the rebels who are not part of an organized force are not entitled to tbe privileges of prisoners of war, adding that the fact that they have not hitherto been held responsible is “evidence of- the solici­tude of tbe United States to avoid the,ap­pearance of harshness.”

Tlie proclamation clearly disavows any recognition of technical belligerency.

2. Is the playing of euchremore conducive to trick-taking than to take-

We do not see ady room for congratu­lation because of the monopoly enjoyed by the state of Hew Jersey in this big corporation business. The State Board of Af seasons evidently looked* with saucer eyes upon the proflta accruing to the state through the present system of taxation.

COST OF A HURRICANE.

(The government's estimate of losies fol­lowing 1b the wake of the West Indian burrlcane of Ssptember 8 includes the fol­lowing:)- - .

The loss of rice is’estimated at 75,000 b&rrela of four bushels each, repreeeat- Ing a value of about $219,000.

Exclusive of the damage to term buildings, machinery, etc., the total lose may be estimated a t $5,000,000.

The loss of f«.rm aain. :-l« k -rtimatcr. at 1,300 horesi, ISO mules, 20,000 cattle, 2,800 sheep, *nd 900 swine, representing a total value of about $490,000.

Of pecans there is an estimated Iocs of 2,500,000 pounds, valued sit $100,000. Three thousand trees, valued at $75,000, are also reported as destroyed.

The area under corn is estimated to have been about 815,000 acre*, with an indicated production of about 17.500,- 00© bushel®. The loss to this crop is es­timated at about 1,000,000 bushels, or 5.7 per cent., representing a value of about $500,000.

The area under cotton in the coun­ties in which serious damage resulted from the storm was approximatejy 1,300,000 acres with a promise on Sep­tember 1 of a crop ot about 340,000 bales, Tho reduction of the crop is es­timated at about 68,000 bales, or 10.6

per cent On a basis of $50 per bale, the amount destroyed would represent a value of $3,400,000.

DOMESTIC AM IMALS.

Outside of those on £armi and ranch­es, there are 2,833,877 horses, 1,466,970 meat cattle, 162,115 mules, 156,470 sheep, 1,592,861 swine, and 47,652

The average of mules is smallest in the north central asd south central, be­ing1 2.7 ini both, and ia largest in' the north Atlantic division, where it ia 7.0.

For cities of over 100,000 Inhabitants Kansas City and Memphis report the largest relative number of, horses and mules respectively; Chicago of sheep, Indianapolis of awine, and New Orleans and Milwaukee of goats.

Horse*, m u l« and neat oattle, in­cluding dairy cowa, are least numerous hi the larger cities and most numerous in the smaller on«s. Sheep and swine, however, show the reverse. Their greater number .is., due to the stock

Building o f an Isthmian

Canal at P A N A M AThe French Project in Which the Government Is

Offered a Controlling Interest

RELIGIOUS,

SO CLOSELY hns the American pub­lic connected tlie Panama canal en­terprise with the name of De Les-

seps, ant| so familiar are we with the circumstances surrounding the failure of that great engineer and the scandal that followed him to his grave, that we are prone to look upon any project con­nected with the Panama venture as a swindle,. When De Lesseps begun the construction of the Panama canal vre dreamed of a grand reality; when he failed we awoke to And our reality Isut a dream.

But in 1894 a new company took hold of the work where tKe De tesseps com­pany dropped it. Of that new company we have heard, or seemingly cared, but little, until now they offer to ,our gov­ernment a controlling interest in their project if we will finish it. TKe first Impression, is that they have nothing but a concession and a vast amobnt of worn and antiquated machinery to dis­pose of, but that is wrong; they have a partially completed canal, a canal that is nearer completion than we prob­ably realize, and, while it may not be good policy an the part of . our gov- erniusnt to buy. It would seem to be poor policy on the part of the French company to stop their work at the pres­ent time and lose the hundreds of mil­lions that have been invested so far. The result may be two canals where we have so long wished for one.

come, the remainder.of the work re­solves itself into the digging of.the big dltdh and the building of the systetp of locks that , will raise a vessel over the divide befween'.the'tw;; aeeai)»; : To accomplish this there will be a system of eight "ockages, the first one in from the Atlantic side being i t the outlet of the Bohio lake. The line of the canal, however, has been sc selected that .it will be possible to make it ii tide water channel whenever conditions warrant the ex­pense. Of th e . present catrai the di­viding react will be about 21 metem above the meaa level ol the net

Towards ths work of digging the great ditch- itself great progress haa been made. Not only ha« the canal been practically completed from Colon, on the Atlantic aide, to the Bohio locks, but beyond that a great amount of work has bfeeii dona. At •San Pablo, 23 miles from the Atlantic, the canal is now large , and deep enough to float au ordinary sized ves­sel, and at La Corosxte, 28 miles from the Atlantic, the cut is rapidly near­ing completion.

Of the work of. excavating the Cuiebra aut presented the greatest difficulties. .This cut carries th« canal through the divide betwees the two oceans, and ia, some five miles in length. Some ides of the amount of

THE GREAT OULEBRA OUT. 34 MILES FROM THE ATLANTIC.

At the present time about 4,000 men. are, engaged in the work of separaiing North and South America at Panama. Work Is being pushed almost entirely froEi the Atlantic side, and of the 46>/2 miles that it is necessary to cut through before ships can pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans 15 miles are already completed. This channel completes the tidewater section.of the canal on the Atlantic side—nearly one- third of the entire cut. It has been dredged to a depth of nine meters, or more than 30 feet, and 30 meters wide at the bottom,

A glance, at the accompanying map shows the route of the canal, and also shows the Charges river, The greatest engineering difficulties encountered are occasioned by the crossing of this river in several places. While during

MAP SHOWING F.OUTK OF THE PANAMA OANAL.

the- greater portion ot the year the 'Charges river is. but little more than.a brook, there are times-when itbecomes a raging torrent. To control thia tor­rent of water <ajsc! store it as a.supply ■ tor feeding the canal is the problem that has taxed the ingenuity of the >n- gineers, and yet, now that they have sqlved the problem, it seentR decidedly simple. ' %

The' Charges river rises in a series of deep ravines some miles to the north­east o f the route -St the’eBoal, ,-It-i# from these ravines, that mueh of the water cornea which produces the floods. To stop these floods tte engineers have dammed the mouth of the ravines and by this means have formed a lake ca­pable of holding back the greater part of the water that would carry destruc­tion with it if permitted to go unob­structed and at the same time sup­ply a feeder for Ihe canal.

The Bohio lake shown in th map Is another deep cut through which the river flows and which.will become a part of the eiinal as well as a storage reservoir for the water needed to feed it. This Is accomplished by dammiug the mouth of the cut and placing a lock, at the lower end.’ Tbe difficulties of caving for the

floods in the Charges-river and pfovld- \ng a water supply, iftrTtW canal over­

work that has been done on it may be, had _ from the accompanying en­graving, 'which shows the cut as It 5® 34 miles from the Atlantic. The work of excavating has been carried to a point within eight miles of the Pa­cific, while some work has been done at Parsama, the ■ Pacific terminus of the canal. ..

From this "brief description of the work, that has already been accom­plished it may- be -seen that the French company has something, more than a plan to sell to us, even though it may ot be a feasible' proposition for this government to buy. At thtf same time, 'with so much accom­plished it would seem to <be almost a »ettie*! fact that the company behind the enterprise wouW {Utah it to final completion, whether we build anoth­er waterway to connect , the two oceans or not.__ Of the_inacJnnery_of_w!ilch_*o iauchhas been said,, there are millions of dollars’ worth'of antiqfi < te dredg* excavators and other expensive ma­chines piled in heaps along the route of the canal just as they were left by the De Lesseps' company. These are scarcely worth the expense of marketing se old metal, but, many of the 'machines now in Use by fiit* new company are modern,, and at least one-half of then; are of Amer­ican build. Ia a word, the new com­pany has been administered with economy, and a desire to complete the work of construction with as lit­tle expense as possible.

BEAUTIFUL ISLE, of PINES

TH E Isle Pines! W h it s de­

liciously , rom antic sound the name •has! B u t w h a t la it : and

where is it? ,’. These are .questions it were well for us to know , fo r rum or has

i t ' tha t the island m ay become a per­m anent possession Of the U nited States. Secretary J lo o t’e v is it to th is h istorica l b it o f land has revealed its value as a naval sta tion , particu larly isi eveat of the passage o f the Nicaraguan, canal b ill. , . ' ■ • ■

The Island In question is r. ansali af­fa ir—it« length variously 'estimated at from 43 to 60 rriiies snd Sts greatest breadth a t from 35 to 85 m iles—b u t it has .had a substantia l place in the his­tory o f the new vworld Spa iiis t aosses- siona since Its discovery by Colismbus in the year 1494, , The Island rises In d ig n ity from ths ocean some 33 miles

off the southwest ex trem ity of Cuba, a monster column o f finest marble— valuable a6 the alabaster o f Carrara.

B u t Columbus knew no thing '.o f th is ; lii: paid litt le a tten tion to the m oun­tains or the ir baldness, confin ing h im ­

self m ain ly to the a ttem p t to extricate h is ships from the laby r in th of bays and keys which surrounds the island, And in to which he had u nw itt in g ly a l­lowed h is ships to push the ir noses.

The incident, recalls a carious b it of

history,connected w ith the second tr ip o f exploration niade by Columbus. The discoverer's fleet had been for m any

days sa iling a long the southern coast o f Cuba, Columbus being under the im ­pression th a t the la tte r was the coast of Asia. Brit the thorough old m ariner,

though he had no doubt h im self th a t a p arty m igh t by land ing return to Spain

across country,, he could not rest w ith the thought tha t a sing le .m em ber of h is company m ight question it . To

satisfy h im se lf on th is point he sent a pub lic no tary to each ship to take the depositions o f the members o f the crewK from cpbio boy up. He sent w ith

h inT four witnesses. Every: member of the expedition swore he believed.this to be the continent o f Asia— had they

no t traveled 300 miles a long the shore

once the. home of p irates! The bucca­neers who flaunted the b lack flag in the

Caribbea® sek J n the early days car­ried the ir ill-gotten gains in to the se­cret bayous o f the Isle ot p ines . The notorioua-Gibbs is said to hpve had a den iomewhere am ohg the na tu ra l strongholds of the Island.

" Politica lly ,“ the island has for years belonged to the province &? H avana, the jud ic ia l d is tr ic t o f Bejucat. In 1858 Gapt. Gen O ’fionne ll, o f Havana, con­ceived the idefi of w ork ing the marble quarries on fhe is land by the nieaiis of sonvict iabor. The place beeaiBe a convict colony, and even now the drill m arkt by these men—crim inals:' and po litica l offenders-—sre to be seen upon the g r iy and weather-beaten faces of

the m oun ta ins o f marble in the Sardas, quarries. W ith in a distance of two m iles, there are six peaks each fu lly 1,000 feet h igh . Despite the fact that marble of the finest g ra in and color is to be found in- these' m ounta ins , the

quarries have been litt le worked since the days of the convict colony. The people— there are abou t 2,000 oh the

-islands—confine themselves* chiefly to the grow ing of bananas, the salsing of ca ttle ,.the cultivation^of a few agri­

cu ltu ra l products, tii<v m ak ing of to­bacco poles snd the bu rn in g of char­

coal. ' *

An American wh‘<i has visited1 the Isle

o f P ines reports th a t the six marble m oun ta ins are enclosed by a barbed w ire fence and owned by an old m u ­la tto womafs w ho lives in an adobe, house a t the foot of one of her m oun­tains. The princ ipal towns, Nueva Gerona and Sail t a Fe. are squalid and unpretentious, though the latter, is rec­ognized as a resort on account o f ita m ineral springs. There are few people on the is land outside the villages. There are few p lan ta tions and p ineapp lesand other products are not cu ltivated ex» tensively, though sm all quan titie s are raised Doubtless the reason for th is ia th a t the only available m arke t is She city of Havana and the transportation is very poor. __ .

The Present Day,3ing no songs of withered roses

Nor the blighted summer time.For the autumn day discloses

Fairer themes for fleeting rhyme. Turn to songs of woodlands splendid

In the livery of the frost;“Vfcerefore dream of Joy1 that's ended;

Wherefore gloat o’er treasures lost.

Sing no song of youthful play day.In a wistful minor strain; * ,

Let us not bemoan tthe May day, * Till the present lives lh vain;

Revel in the twilight gleaming, 'W ith no tears for hours agone;

Let It call us from our * dreaming On a fair but vanished dawn.

O M A H A , Dec. 20.™Edward Cudahy, Jr., 15 years old, son of Edward A . Cud­ahy, millionaire packer and bead of the Cudahy Packing company of Omaha, is misaiug from his home in this city, and !na parents believe he has been kidnaped. Tlie entice police and detective fotc£ of the city and half a hundred men employ­ed by Mr. Cudahy have been scouring the city and country throughout the day in hopes of locating the young man or Bocuring a clew which would lead to, a knowledge of bis whereabouts, but with­out success. Business at Mr. Cudahy's packing plant in South Omaha was practically suspended yesterday, nearly the entire force there joining in the search. The boy’s parents are distracted at hia disappearance, and the father has offered to pay a substantial reward and jjo questions asked if his son shall be returned to his home. An anonymous letter has been received at the Cudahy home substantia ting tbo j^ears o f the iXmily that he has been kidnaped.

Young Cudahy left home at 8 o'clock Tuesday night to take some books to the residence of Captain Rustin, about two mbckfl distant, and that was tho last

of him. As midnight arrived and did not return the police were notified,

‘ aad two-detectives were detailed to work oa the case. I t was not until nearly 9 o ^o ck yesterday morning, however, that

1 tho .matter began to assume a really sorions aspect. A t that hour a mari on horseback rode rapidly by the Cudahy

; mansion, and as he passed the front gate he threw a letter into the yard. A

„ Servant took the letter into the house, 'There it was read. I t was in substance:

.' 4 “Mr. E . A. Cudahy—Your sori is safe. [tV have him and will take good care of Jim . nnd will return him to you in con-

; ii!<*nition of the payment of $25,000.■ > mean business. JA C K .”

? 'I he • renrrin’r *- *'!' tbe note the police . ;t fuse.at p.e.wut to disclose, as they say

f tea to the place where the money• is Or be left and where the kidnapers are r to loarb tb® boy in case Mr. Cudahy 1 con»plies w ith their terms. The eewaiit | ^ h o saw the man on horseback was able t;’to give a good description of him, and

thin- is the clew upon wllich the police working at present.

O f a studious tnrn of mind, the young m an was much devoted to his home and was idolized by his parents, being tbe only boy in a family of five children. M r. Cudihy says be is willing to;pfly. a* liberal reward for tbe retdrn o# his son. A s to the anonymous letter, however, he is undecided as to whether it emanates from the kidnapers or from- some crank nvho threw it in the yard with no pur­pose other than creating a furore.

As to the methods employed in the : Mdnaping but little is known nt present,[ b u t it is believed by some that young CHoward was decoycd away through the I instrumentality of a boy about bis own I nge, as two youths, one of whom an- 1 swered the debcription of young Cudahy,: were seen on a I^eavenworth street car $ Tre&t bound, shortly before midnight.

which illustrated, the cleverness o f one of the ir neighbors, and incidenta lly ex- tricated h im fro m an awkward d ilem ­m a. A certain Mr. Foster is the hero oi the tale . He had occasion tq visit New York a few^days ago, and, rfs is h is cus­tom on such occasions, he errayed him-,

“You don’t seem to know who I am ,”

calm ly observed Foster, “M-y nam e ia V anderb ilt. I ’ve got r l it t le country

drop off there aw hile and 'look it over.”T k( conductor was somewhat f lu t­

• added and apake a parable, becaiise H e v Was n igh to Jerusalem , and because th e y , ihou^fht tha t the kingdom of God shoiild immediately appear. ♦

12. He said therefore:. A certalfci noble- .man went .Into a far.country to- receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

- 13. And ,he called his ,ten servant^, pnd delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them: O c c u p y I come.

i i . B u t his teftizens hated h im ^an d7 sent a message after, him , saving: W e jsrill not ’have this m an to reign OVer Us.

15. And" it came to pass, th a t w M n he was returned, hav ing receive! the k ing­dom, then he commanded these servants •to be called unto him , to Whom he had given the money, that he m ight know how much evpry- man_ hnd gained by .trad ing .....

16. Then came th e . first, saying: t<6rd, th y pound hath gained ten pounds., v

17. An4 he said unto him : W ell, thou good servant, because thou hast been fa ith ­fu l in q, very little , have thou authority over ten cities.

18. And the Becond came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19. And he said likewise to him,: 0e tjiou also over, five cities; , s .

20. And another came, saying: Lord, be- . hojd, here is thy .pound, which ! have kept laid up In a liapkin:

21. Fo r I feared . thee, because thou-art an austere m an; thou takest up th a t thou layest. not down, and reapest thaC thou didst not sow.

22. And .he said unto h im : Out of thin®, own m outh*w ill I jtfdgefthee, thou wicked servant. Thou kne^est, tha t I was an auatere man* tak ing up thd t I la id n o t down, and jr^aplng tha t I, did not sow; ;

23. Wherefore then gav6st not thou my money In to the bank, th a t a t my coming X m igh t have required mine own w ith usury?

24. And he said unto them tha t stood by: Take from him the pound; and give it to h im that hath ten pounds.

25. (And they said Unto h im : Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 1

26. For I say unto you: T hat unto every-’ one which hath shall be given; and from him tha t ha th no t, even that.he ha th sha ll' be tafeen away from hfm. . . .v ‘v

This lesson in circumstance and sur- round'ings as well as in our Gospel rec­ord im m ediate ly follows the last. Jesus was speaking to the same people

as at thie house of Zaccheus m urm ured th a t He h-ad gone to be a guCst w ith a sinner, bu t He was also jspeaking: to a

great m u ltitude who.had accepted H im as the Messiah and t were expecting ■‘tha t the k ingdom of God should im m e­d iate ly appear.** tie was traveling to­ward Jerusalem , was only 15 o r 20.miles

from tha t city, and ihe m ultitude ex-; pected Jesus waa there, and there to' establish H is e ^r ih ly reign. The para­

ble was a w arnltig to them . Jesus, like the noblem an, waa to receive H is k in g ­dom,,ihd*eed, bu t, also like the noble­

man, He would have to go away to re­

ceive it ; tha t is, He was to die. The nobleman, we are to-understand, was. no t io ‘receive’ Borne d is ta n t kingdom ," bu t was to go to, some d istant place where the chief au tho rity resided in on- der to >e made k in g over his home prov­ince;, where he would reign. The object of the parable wds tb fiow those who expected Jesus to im m ediate ly found an earth ly k ingdom how /to wait -iu

The Ten Pounds,—Certain of his cares had to be shouldered by others d'ui'lng this absence. Like a wise mah; he did not entrust the whole to any one servant, but divided the work share and share alike among ten servants. There is one Ih^erbstingipo^i^t about this para­ble tK*it js: not j ^ r o i i t o^jt in the sim­ilar parable whtere ^ne servant' ;was given five poiinds, another two, and a third onlyon e po^ nd .- Here everj^mair

Headaches are nature’s warnings that there is physical Jtrd^ble somewhere in the body , A cure can generally be, effected by putting the stomach

' into good condition. Ripans Tabules will do it. “ I have been troubled with sick and nervou4 headaches ever since I can remember, but have b e e n worse for the last two years,” writes a young m a r r ie d woman,living in Elmira, N. V. “I could not do my housework in the way it should have l een done. 1 was sick at my stomach most ofthe time, was nervous and trembled and I could hardly walk across tl e floor without aid, for I was so dizzy. X took evety thing I saw advertised for the cure of hteadach'e but I did not find relief until I tried Ripans Ttahuless which were highly recommended to me by friends. I had taken but two small boxes when I could s£e a change, and now I can go a,b0ut m y daily toil with comfort. I have been taking them eight months,, and I will continue.I am a new person since I began to take Ripans Tabules." *

com pla in t was nvad£ that...th^Eg.njn^ was not enough for the abilities o f the servant, b u t the greater ab ility was so used to make more of th-..* pound which

'Was entrusted to his care.

One m an did no t put h is pound touuy use at all. He k«pt it and returned it.

As far as mere honesty was.conce.Mied, ho fau lt could be found. But he had

to do. The nob’.Mhan had said: MOc- pupy till I dome.’’ He njeant th a t i t
