After the organization Of the Conveu-

address to the members, saying:
To the mem bers of the South Carolina
State Alliance and Industrial Union:
There never was time since the first Or
ganization Of the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union when there was more
urgent need for us to keep up this great
union of the industrial classes. Many Of
our profoundest thinkers believe that
this country Is on the verge OF reVOlutlOD,
peaceful it may be, but revolution there
will be. 1t is my own conviction that
this revolution will come, and that 1t will
be settled through the ballot box.
How important. then, that the large
army of voters, who have so much at
stake Of common interest, should have an
organization through which they can
make their combined influence felt tly
the political parties striving for supra
macy. Though non-partisan, the Alli-
ance is political to the core and should
redouble its energies to educate the
masses In the science of government, for
1t is only through the Intelligence Of the
citizen and his knowledge Of the relation
of the Government to finance. commerce.,
agriculture and transportation that he
will be able to protect his interests by
his ballot.

DYING OF FRIGHT.

A Bride Thinks She Has Been Bewitehed
 and Is Wasting Away.
 Near Barlow, Fla, Mrs " R. Lang ford, bride of few weeks, is said to be dying of witchcraft Shortly after her marriage Mrs. Langford went to Bartow to attend the Normal institute and secure a teachers s certificate. A few days after Mrs .Langford s arrival while walking in the suburbs one morning, she was accosted by an old woman she had never before seen. The hag seemed fa- miliar with Mrs. LangfOrd's life and told her that she was the second wife of her husband, which was the fact Then the old woman. according to Mrs Lang ford, fairly shrieked, "You will die two months from today. '
 The woman then disappeared and has not been seen since, nor has any clew to her identity been established. Mrs. Lang ford returned to her boarding house ard told her companions of the occurrence They tried to laugh it off, but the young bride seemed to believe the old woman s prediction and told her friends she was doomed She returned to her husband s home and told him she had come back to die and then took to her bed. She has been growing weaker ever since, and friends believe she will die before the date fixed by the old woman
 Mrs. Langford does not seem to be in pain. She is simply wasting away and insists that she will die, as foretold by the woman Her friends claim that she is bewitched, and doctors say her condi- tion is undoubtedly due to the old wom- ans prediction. Philadelphia Times

EX.-BANKERS IN JAIL.
SlxTY-ElGHT OF THCM IN THE NEW
 YORK PENlTENTlARY.

They Range From Presidents to Clerks.
 The Five Federal Penal Institutions of
 the Country-AbOut $40 Bank DefauIters
 Imprisoned In the Land.
 Former bank officers to the number of 68, all serving sentences in one peni- tentiaryl That is the remarkable fact which will appear i'll the forthcoming report of Warden Hayes of tho Kings County (N. T. penitentiary.
 To be more explicit, there are now within the cold gray and black walls of that institution seven men who, when arrested for embezzlement of deposit ors' funds, were presidents of national banks; 12 men who, when rounded up in career of crime by the strong arm Of the law, were honored and respected cashiers of national banks, and 49 other men who were trusted clerks or tellers in banks of the same class.
 The Kings County penitentiary is one of the five penal institutions in the country which, under contract with the general government, keep in confine- ment all prisoners convicted of felonies by the United States courts. The other prisons that board Unclo Sam's law breakers are that at Albany, the Erie County penitentiary near Buffalo, the House of Correction at Detroit and the most impregnable prison i'll the world, the Minnesota State penitentiary at Saltwater, Minn.
 Federal convicts are allotted to the contracting prisons in turn. At present the Kings County penitentiary has all the United States prisoners that it is permitted to have For this reason Bill Cook, the Indian Territory desperado, train robber and murderer, was sent to Albany.
 The offenses for which the federal courts send prisoners to the penitentiary are for felonious violations of the na- tional banking laws, for robberies of and interference with the United States mails, for counterfeiting the coin or bank notes of the government, for mis- use of the mails, for violations of the revenue laws and for fclonies committed ill the territories not punishable under tribal laws.
 Federal prisoners, as a rule, are either men of more than average intelligence, such as bank defaulters and counterfeit. CTS, or of desperate courage and daring, such as train robbers and moonshiners.
 There arc today ill the five penitentia. ries named 2,100 federal prisoners. In their assignment no distinction is shown. A new batch is sent to the prison that has at the time the fewest 'boarders, " as they are called.
 The percentage of former bank off eials at Albany, Erie, Detroit and Still water will average the same as at the Kings County institution. The total number is equally divided between the five prisons There are at present 405 sbearders" at Kings, of whom 68 are from banks The total number of bank defanlters, embezzlers and wreckers for merly connected with national banks alone will, therefore, approximate $40, or about one-sixth of the total number of federal prisoners in confinement for felonies.

Where They Draw the Line.

American horses have become pretty we'll accustomed to bicycles, but they dc not take kindly to feminine use of them. They draw the line at bloomers. One in Harlem, taking fright at this innocent object lesson, pitched his driver to the pavement and dragged little girl into the river, whence she was rescued only by the bravery and cleverness of Albert Greenspeck of the Lone Star Boat club, who extrayagantly plunged in without waiting to change his costume.

rUBAN ANNEXATION.
.oMe INTERESTING OPINIONS BY
 PROMINENT AMERICANS.

c.,,ne Think the "PearI oi the Antilles.
 should Undoubtedly Be Taken Possession
 of by the United States-Some Contrary
 opinions-An Interesting Synopsis.
 Cuba's successive struggles for inde- sendence have always excited great in- ferest in this country. There are many Americans who believe that the United States should offer encouragement to all Attempts of monarchical dependencies as this side of the Atlantic to throw off inc yoke For this reason the annexa- s;ou of Cuba has ever been a pet project af certain of our statesmen.
 On the other hand, there are many who believe in restricting the limits of our territory to its present confines.
 The New York World published re- eently signed articles and interviews from prominent American citizens. Each was asked, first, whether he be- heyed in the annexation of Cuba, and. second, what means should be taken to 
 Bring annexation about The replies are as follows:
 Lawyer Frederic R. Coudert of New York wrote as follows:
 To annex Cuba we must first find some plausible excuse, granting that an ssexation be desirable, which will justi- R us in wrestling from friendly nation its territory, contrary to those laws (which are based, it is true, purely on moral grounds, but which nevertheless are of great weight in the intercourse of all self respecting nations.
 If you can get over this objection by eonvincing Spain that she ought to drop Cuba into the broad lap of the United states, then I am heartily with you. While believe that, as a general propo- sition, we have all the territory that we heed and more than we can at present poperly take care of. I am willing to make an exception for this, the gem of the Antilles. Her geographical position alone would make her almost inyalu- able to us commercially and politically, apd now that slavery has been abolished aS the island the old objection that could have been raised in proslavery days has disappeared.
 Indeed her resources are almost bound less, and rich as we are in gold and siI- ger and fruit and sugar and grain this glorious little island would at once step to the front rank and be subject of pride to our whole people Metaphoric- ally speaking, it makes the water come to my mouth when think of the state Of Cuba as one of our family, but 1 think VIC are as much bound to respect onr neighbours goods when we deal na- sionally as when we operate in the ca- paoity of individuals.
 Therefore I conclude. first, I know no ground upon which we can interfere without violating the decencies of inter Rational intercourse in taking Cuba from Spain against the latter's will secondly, if Spain makes no objection, l should advise receiving Cuba with open arms and joyous heart. We you'd wonder in a few years how we eger got on without her.

she is entitled to admission. He re-

she is entitled to admission. He re- piled thus:
 I am opposed to indiscriminate an- nexation because believe that it is a high privilege to be admitted into the Union and should be extended only to communities which not only desire but deserve it. Both of these facts that they desire and deserve it, should be made apparent by 2 sufficient term of proba- tlon. Texas Went through this probation ary period, and Only became state in the Union after she had established her Independence and showed herself capa- ble of self government and defense.
 believe, too that Cuba has ceased to be such source of revenue to Spain as to make it even desirable that Spain should continue the connection. It would be an advantage to the United States to take in Cuba only after the United States had repeopled the island, at least to the extent of making its population familiar with our laws and language and the genius of our institutions.

 Ex-Congressman John De Witt War ner is no friend of annexation. He says;
 am utterly opposed to the annexa- t1on of Cuba for two reasons. Econom- ically, believe our own country is al ready so extended that the interests of its 65,000, 900 people will be better sub served in building it up than by offering special inducements for American and other capital and brains to be diverted elsewhere.
 And politically, while I am thor ough believer in popular government as the only one fit for q people capable of enjoying freedom, appreciate too thor oughly the problems which we have al- ready i'll hand to think it advisable to add to them either by trying an expert ment of self government with such a population as is that of Cuba or of per mitting an aristocratic or monarchical government to be established under our protection, or of attempting to govern such territory by satrap or proconsuI
 Until we have dearth of trouble at home 1t seems to me that we need not search for it abroad. As long as some body else tries to govern the islands, while we practically control their trade, it strikes me that we have the milk and the other nation the shell of the cocoa nut am aware that there is good pick ing even in the shell, but do not believe our institutions were ever intended for the strain of colonial administration
