JINGLE SAM SHOULD SPEAK OUT;

Oppression in the "Pearl Of the Antilles"
Must Come to an End, Says Dr. Thomas
A British Einissary OF Anarchy Comes to
Grief in 'the Windy City-His Speech
Choked or by the Police-Five Acci-
dental Deaths.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23-Rev. DIR. II. W.
Thomas caused somewhat of sensation
yesterday by declaring from his pulpit
that the time had come for America to
say that the oppression of Cuba by spain
must come to an end There was large at
tendance Of the best people in the city and
the speaker was frequently interrupted by
Outbursts of applause. DIR. Thomas said
in part: "Among the modern nations OF
the earth Spain is old. She was once in
the foreground, one of the greatest and
proudcst and most prosperous of nations.
But she was always on the side of royalty
and ecclcsiasticisIn. She belongs to the
old order of government and religion.
Other countries have advanced-have
heard the call and caught the inspiration
Of the new l:ght-whilc Spain has stood
still, has gone backward.
Condition of the Spanish Nation.
There are 6OO0O Protcstants in the
country and the attendance at worship is
500 in a population of less than rs, ,OOO, $50;
there are 5,O0J,UO0 men and Z, 500, 900 women
who cannot read and write. Education
nourishes in England, Germany, France
and Italy, and 1 therefore argue that
Spain-this moribund nation that has
failed to get into line with the practice of
this great age--has forfeited the right to
he Il dictator, much less ruler, among 3
the nations of the earth. 1t has the right
To exist in Ignorance and superstition, and
to manage its own affairs, but no right to
cruelty opprcsS its own subjects. The
time has come for the American to say
that this oppression Of Cuba must come to
an end, and that very soon.s
Cuban Insurgents Are Patriots.
''All our memories are on the side OF
freedom. When we struggled France
held out a helping hand, and Russia sent
her warships to cruise off New York. Can
we supincly stand still and let Spain
crush the life out of these struggling
patriots? / don't call them rebels. They
are patriots, as brave rs men ever We're.
and are struggling for their rights as we
once struggled Governments move slowly,
but there is no need to delay the express
sion of our sympathy. 1t is fitting that
the voice Of the pulpit, the press and peo'
pie of this great city-thc center OF the
country--shuuld be heard first

OvercOat Weather at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Saturday was tho
sixth day of intense here, the mercury in
the government Office registering 80 de-
grees. On the streets the temperature was
3 to degrees higher. The worst feature
of the heated term is the mortality among
infants, the number Of deaths under D
years Of age having more than doubled
during last week. The hot spell, however,
was broken last night when the cold wave
arrived which had been predicted for
week by the man i'm the Auditorium tower.
So disgusted had the weather clerk be-
come with the failure of all the signs that
he is reported to have refused to do any
more predicting when reporters called on
him to inquire why things We're thus. The
intense heat was general all over the
country, reaching even into New England.
Some Unprecedented Temperatures.
A dispatch from New York Saturday
night gave the day Us the hottest day of
the year, the thermometer reaching 81 de-
grees. Unofficial thermometers We're
much higher. Yesterday the Gotham tenn
peraturc was S and the mean temperature
for the day was S6 degrees, which is 22 de-
grees above the normal for Sept. p. The
humidity was low, however, there being
only 40 per cent. of moisture in the atmoS-
pherc. Saturday Springfield, Mass, re.
ported n temperature of 105 degrees, and
Brattlcboro, Vt, an identical degree of
holiness. Pi.Ssburg reports that ''tEc
past week has been the hottest September

For Saturday also Philadelphia reported

of the hottest September days in history,
the thermometer reaching the unusual

LANGUAGE OF THE HEN.
Notes of Warming, Calls to Dinner, and
Other Methods of Communications.

| The ordinary domestic fowl affords the
most positive evidence of the possession of
a language that is understood, says a
writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. There
are many decidedly different calls. which
if taken down in photograph and repeated
in hen-house or yard would produce inter-
esting results. need but mention a few
callssto illustrate tho range of sounds in
the domestic fowls. On warm day, when
hens are released from their COOP. when
their minds are undisturbed and all nature
looks bright and inviting. they sing as they
feed-a continuous repetition of kerr-kerr-
kerr. with various modulations. The roost-
er never utters it, nor the mother hen; it
is the song of the happy-go-lucky OF hen
creation. Now let hawk appear in the
sky OF any disturbing element; an entirely
different sound is heard. The hen stops,
stretches her head upward. and. with the
cock, utters decided note of warning In a
high falsetto. k-a-r-r-r-e! And II the enemy
still comes on it is repeated, and every
bird in the vicinity lowers its head and runs
to cover. The sound says in the gallus Ian
guage. AN enemy is coming, run!' and
run they do, the kerr-keIr-kerr being dis
continued until all danger is past. Note
the joyous call of the hen that has laid an
egg. Cut-cut, ca-da-cut! comes oft repeated
from the hen-house, and other envious Hens
are Informed beyond any question Or mis-
take that Mrs. Gallus has laid an egg.
Now, when the eggs are Matched we have
other and maternal notes. There is deep.
monotonous cluck, cluck! that is warning
to others and a general admonition of the
chicks to remain near, but it is not call.
Note the difference when the mother or
proud cook finds worm. The coc1 appears
TO be greatly excited, and he pretends to

that he is about to devaur the bonnie bouche

tenderness, affection and solicitude. When
