"airy, fairy Lillian" no longer, but still as
beautiful woman as there is on the stage
is probably the most ambitious of her life
and it will in all human likelihood be a
success. When she left the New York Ca

oriental eyes wide open. She is on earth
just now for the especial purpose of max

The Island Is Said to Be Breaking In Two
By Some Strange Forc&.
st. Louis Republic.1
Readers of this department will remember
the curious prophecy of the old Bavarian
hermit, which was given entire In "Notes
for the Curious" Republic of February IA,
1890, in which the startling prediction was
made that Cuba would break in two and
sink beneath the waves before the ending
of the present century. A recent letter to
an Eastern paper. written perhaps by some
one who had never heard of the old mans
effort at ~uncovering the future, contains,
among other matters the following:
'aThe startling discovery has been made
that Cuba is cracking, not simply cracking,
but bursting wide open. Numerous assures
in the earth have suddenly appeared in
many widely situated localities, but par
ticuiarly near Matsnzas. One of these
enormous cracks is nearly IL Englieh miles
in length, and has actually broken q noun
tain chain asunder, leaving a wide gap,
which, but for the fact that the assure seems
without bottom, would make a splendid road
way, making the rich plantations in the
valley beyond at least 80 miles nearer
Lathios, the nearest port, which 10 now
reached by rounding the spur Of the noun
tain.
Some Of the cracks and openings within
sight of this place (Matanzas) are 900 to
1000 feet long, "a to 80 feet wide and of un-
known depth. These disturbances may be,
and no doubt are, q continuation of those
felt not long ago along the south coast OF
the island, but the people are not inclined
to view it in that light. regarding all such
manifestations with q superstitious awe,
many of them actually believing that some
impending calamity is about to overwhelm
the country. Scientists explain It by saying
that the earth's crust thickens from the sea
inland, and that, therefore, the inland pres

Spectacle Presented by the Test Of o Search
Light in Boston.
Boston Herald.l .
The other evening q mighty arm Of light
darted across the city, grasped the gilded
dome of the Capitol and held it up for every
one to see. Then it reached over and picked
ND the spire of the Park Street Church. It
held it q few seconds. till people could read
the time and see which way the wind blew,
then dropped it suddenly, darted over to the
South End and touched the tall chimney of
the West End power station. on Albany
street.
At the top Of the Edison electric light
building a little group of men, most of them
electricians, were trying a new search light.
1t looked like q light copper mortar as it
hung on its swivels and was pointed by the
operator at point after point along the street,
till men and women put their hands over
their eyes to keep out the binding fash and
horses SHE'D at the strange distinctness with
which unseen forms snd trees suddenly ap-
peared before them.
The light is the Huntingdon search, fog
and position light. It is an arc light, but
using an incandescent current. Electric
light wires can be tapped and connected
with it anywhere. 1t gets its great power
from lenses, rather than the ordinary re-
Hector. Thesbeam Of light is a small one, but
having great penetration. Horse car
drivers said they saw 1t last night ct q
distance Of over two miles from the roof
where it stood, and it is claimed to locate q
vessel ct Q distance Of one mile.

Rich REHINISoENCE AND Prophecy

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE IsPATcH -.
WASHINGTON, Feb. al met ex-Sen-
ator Mcdonald, o fIndiana. in his room at the
Riggs House last night. He gave up poll
tics when he left the United States Senate,
and he Is now devoting himself with profit
and pleasure to his first love-the law. He
has An immense practice here at Washing
ton, and he ranks as one Of the greatest
lawyers west Of the Alleghenies. He is
noted for his sound, hard-headed common
sense, and a long life of study and practice,
added to his sterling abilities, has put him
at the head Of his profession.
His income is said to be five times the
salary of a Congressman, but he practices
at the law because he loves it, and he told
me last night that he could not remember
when he had not an ambition to be a lawyer
and that if he were a boy again he would
choose the legal profession and stick to it.
l asked him as to his political ambitions
and he replied:
Not q Born Politician.
81 I'm not a natural politician, and poll
tics have been only an incident in my life.
I do not care for political life and 1 think I
am happier and better off as a private in the
Democratic party than as one of its officials.
I began to practice law as soon as 1 was out
of college and I was Attorney General of
the State of Indiana before I was elected to
the Senate"

asked.

mine, and learned the trade, working att
for six years"
"Do you think you could make q saddle
to-day, Sens4or?"
"Yes," replied Senator Mcdonald, IT am
sure I could, and. in fact, there is a saddle
now in use by my sister which I made for
her some years ago. l was the bov Congress;
man in the session OF 1849 and 1850, and l

remember the great men of that time very
well, and
Can See Clay and Webster
in my minds eye to-day as they photo
graphed themselves upon It in 1849. Henry
Clay was in the Senate. He was very tall
and spare, and had a small head with a high
narrow forehead, a large mouth and a big
nose. He wore very large collars, and some
of the paintings in the Capitol are good
representations of him. He was one OF the
greatest orators I ever heard, and his force
largely came from the manner of his utter
ance rather than from what he said.
81 had a ver,t musical voice ano had all
the qualities of fine actor. His manner was
such that his spe eches lost weight with you
if you were in such a position that you
could not see him while he was speaking.
He was a man Of great force, and he i'm
pressed himself upon everything with which
he was connected. Daniel Webster, it
seemed to me, was by far the stronger man
intellectually, still upon such committees as
Clay and Webster worked together in the
Senate the measures bore the stamp of Clay
rather than Webster, from his push and per-
sonal influence, which carried to success al
most everything that he attempted"
Webster Excened in Thought
SHOW did Webster impress you az an
orator?' I asked.
"He was a great speaker" replied Sena-
tor Mcdonald, shut the charm of his
speaking was insthe thought rather than
the manner in which it was presented.
He had none of-the graces of Mr.. Clay, and
his speaking was done chiefly in a converse
tional tone, end the most of his gestures
were only from the elbow. He possessed,
however, the strongest intellectual individ-
uality of any man that I have ever known,
and he held his audiences for hours by the
iron chain of his thought which he forged
link by link as he went along. He was q
tall, broad-shoul dered man, with q massive
head and deep-set eyes, which were rather
dull save when lac became enthusiastic in his
speaking. he had a good voice and his very
appearance caused strangers to stop and
wonder who he was"
The conversation here turned to the tariff,
and I asked the Senator whether he thought
the Mckinley tariff bill was the cause of the
Republican defeat. He replied:
Tariff i'm the Late Election.
ST do. The people have begun to study
the tariff, and the farmers are especially
alive to the effects of high import duties ON
