Press Committee Holds "A Meeting and
Effects an Orga nization.
Preparations for the Columbia Athletic
Clubs big carnival 10 lie held during the
first two weeks in December are rapidly
taking shape.
Meetings of several Of The committees
have already been held and the work as
signed to them mapped out. Last evening
th, press committee held It's first meeting
nj the club house. There was a crafty
ingly large attendance. and the things
which came within its province were dis
cusscI in Il preliminary manner and an
organization effected.
Those present were: Mr.. Hibts. Mr..
Rudolph Kaufman, DR.. Frank T. Howe.
Mr.. Clusky Cromwell. Mr.. J. f.. Jones,
Mr.. II. L. West, Mr. Howard Perry, Mr..
Jay Durham, Mr.. Frank L. Morgan and
Mr.. G. f. Klocber.
Those members who were not present
sent ASSURANCES of hearty support and
altogether the press committee manifested
the same interest in the big carnivars sue
cess as has characterized the other bodies
which have 1t in charge.
After discussing various details in con
ncction with the carnival paper, which viii
be published daily during the ten days of
the affair, n committee consisting OF DR..
Howe, Mr.. West, Mr.. Hibbs, Mr.. Durham
and Mr. Emory Foster. was appointe ed

estimates on the cost OF printing. This
committee will report on Thursday next

Marriage Nomenclature.

The practice OF the wifeassuming the hus-
bands name at marriage, according to DR..
Brewer, originated from a Roman custom
and became the common custom after the
Roman occupation. Thus Julia and Octayia,
married to Pompey and Cicero, were called
by the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavia
of Cicero, and in Ia ter times married women
in most European countries signed their
names in the same manner, but omitted
the "of"
Against this view it ma y be mentioned that
during the sixteenth, and even at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century, the
usage seems doubtful, since we find Cath
arine Parr so signing herself after she had
been twice married, and we also hear Of
Lady Jane Grey mot Dudley, Arabella
Stuart (nOt SEYMOUR, etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the scriptural teaching that
husband and wife are one. This was the
rule of law so far back as Eraeton (died
1861, and it was decided in the case Of
Bon vs. Smith, in the reign Of Elizabeth,
that woman by marriage loses her former
name and legally receives the name of her
husband. Altogether the custom is involved
in much bbScurity.

Supreme Court to Pass on interest
Ing Points In the California Case.
A case arising out of the great Pullman
strike of July a year ago is 10 come up
before the United States Supreme Court
on Monday next. II will be argued by
Attorney General Harmon for the Govern
ment and by Col. Robert Christy for the
defendants in the court below, who are
plaintiffs here. 1t involves some very nice
points of law.

the American Railway Union, who went
on sympathetic strike at Los Angeles,
Cal, W hen Eugene Debs and his comrades
were making the great fight at Chicago, In
1894
There are several interesting questions
in The case that have never been considered
by the United States Supreme Court, though
passed upon by the lower courts.
One of these is whether q conspiracy
charged under the laws of the United
States can elevate an offense which is
itself trifling nisdemeaDor when COM
mitted by one person to the rank of a
felony.
Another is whether persuasive words
or rcmonstrances, not constituting dan
gerQus threats, whereby the employees of
a railroad company are induced to Quit
work, are indictable as an offense against
the United States. Also the question
whether, when the acts constituting the
overt acts W fich must be charged In con-
spiracy are completed, the conspiracy IL
not merged into the completed Offense.

Confusing Drinks.

An Englishman who was over here to see
the yacht races amused his America n friends
by his popularity of speech.
He said he never heard so much damning
and helling In all his life as he heard over
here, where gentlemen swear too much. At
least, he said he thought they did till he
fell under the fearful influence of the heat
''and since then find myself damning and
helling, too," said he.

complex and straining to ones intellect" :"

Scotch and soda or brandy and soda, and

and the Welfare of the Organi-
zntion Promoted.

A series of G. L. committee conferences
will be held simultaneously in different

that they accomplished great good, by
giving new ideas and infusng new life into

followed was TO have short papers or talks
upon several topics; i'll the second, topics
for open discussion were specified. A still
different plan will be followed in these
tonight.
1t is the earnest desire that they shall be
truly conferences, places where Endeivorers
may confer or consult together. II is hoped
that in them each one Will feel free TO ask
questions, to present new ideas, to give his
own views, and, particularly, TO tell OF
the methods that have been especially
successful in his own society. Each confer
ence will have Il leader, but his office will
only be TO conduct the meeting, leaving
those present to do the talking.
The conferences will be- held in the fol-
lowing places:

CUBA'S NHNERAL WEALTH
Commercial Value to the United
States Of the Islands Freedom.
v hat a Man COnversant With Latin
American Affairs Thinks of Her
Struggle for Liberty.

The friends OF Cuban independence are
daily gaining in strength. .and the movement
in favor of recognizing the insurgents as
Delligerents, they believe, must Of neces-
sity soon result in the accomplishment Of
that end.
c. f. z. Cara visit, OF New York, late
manager of the Pan-American Company,
is at present in washington and in conver-
sation with The Times reporter on the future
OF Cuba, said:
''Cuba undoubtedly has the moral support
OF the American masses. The same hand OF
fellowship that France extended to our
country during the revolution, and the
same tacit support that we gave To Mexico
in the overthrow of MaXimilian should to-
day be extended to Cuba.
"It has been asserted by many that the
Cuban people are not able To govern them
selves. Hayu, sapto Domingo, and the
South and Central American republics Il re
pointed out as examples of what Cuba
would he. believe that the close contact
into which free Cuba would be thrown with
the United States would give it a stability )
Of government equal to that Of Mexico,
and an industriaily thriving island equal
to the wealth of Jamaica.
IF we should enter into reciprocal trade
relations with Cuba it would mean millions
10 our people. We nave Tor years b.eil tul-
porting "A large percentage of the bcsscner
steel ore consumed In his country, and
Cuba has been our main supply. Not only is
this true, but the ore question has reached
such au important point that steel manu-
facturers, to save overland freight rates.
have moved their plants to the sea c"ast,
where foreign ore is used. Millions have Of
late years been spent in effectins this
change,
with free Cuba we could enter into such
treaty arrangements as would enable us
to absolutely control the output of the
bcssemer iron ore mines and reduce the
price of steel manufacturing.
''Cuba's proximity TO the Alabama coal
fields would enable the South Ia produce
cheap steel rails, which could be shipped
via the Mississippi River TO the interior.
Again, Southern Cuba would be an ad-
mirable location for United States coaliDg
stations, and the sugar question, by proper
treaty arrangements between the two
countries could easily be solved, and the
price not only reduced, but the sugar trust S
plans practically defeated.
The mountains of Eastern Cuba are
filled with iron, copper. lead and some
gold and silver, yet today that region
is n barren waste. almost unknown even
TO the Cubans themselves.

lection, would give Us powerful weapon
