secret meeting of Cuban sympathizers in
this city last night, at which a number OF
the most prominent leaders of the move

revealed. 1t was nothing less than a plan
to steal the dynamite cruiser vesuvius from
the League Island navy yard. man her
with a picked crew and send her to Ha-
vana to lay MORO Castle in ruins and
seal the fate of Spanish dominion in the

pie. An enthusiastic advocate of Gu

naval officers don't look out the vesuvius
will be missing some morning from hel
moorings at League island. Within a week
a man who has strobe the deck OF many
a vessel and who cares much for gold and
who has risked his life to obtain IL dozens
of times, made the following proposition

Castle in heap OF ruins
IF the Vesuyius ever got clear or the

the American navy that could catch her
and there is nothing TO send in pursuit but
the revenue cutter Hamilton, and the
vesuvius would distance her.

A Novel Idea.

1t is free, and deeply interests everybody
who has aches or pains, or who is weak and
sickly. Anyone can learn the surest and
quickest means to get strong and well by ac-
cepting that splendid free offer of the great
specialist in curing nervous and chronic dis
eases, DIR. Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass. He has established system of letter
correspondence through which all sick and
suffering people can learn exactly what ails
them, and how to get we'll, without expense
and without leaving their homes. All they
have to do is to write to the doctor, stating
each symptom from which they are suffering,
and he will answer their letter, explaining
their case thoroughly, telling just what the
trouble is and what to do to be cured. He
gives the greatest care and attention to every
letter, and tells the cause of each symptom
so plainly that patients understand instantly
just what ails them. And all this costs moth
ing. 1t is splendid opportunity for those
who cannot afford the time or expen4e to go
to the city. DR.. Greene makes speciality of
curing patients through letter correspond
ence He is the most successful specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases, and is
the dIscoverer of that wonderful medicine,
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy. Those who write to him get cured.

The last legislature of Massachusetts,
appropriated 100000 for the con-
struction of highways on a state sys-
tenn, and the construction of macad-
amized roads is now in progress in
seventy different towns. It is ex-
pected that out of the 10000 miles of
road in the state, outside of the large
cities, about 1000 will ultimately be
taken under the care of the state, for
it is part of the system that after
these state roads have been built, the
state is to be responsible for their
maintenance. That is, about 10 per
cent of all the roads in Massachusetts
will be part of the state system. The
cost of the new roads varies from
$500 to SIS, 700 mile, according to
the amount of rock cutting and ex-
pensive grading. -E1change.

Fairhaven, being almost a part of
New Bedford, used to have much to
do with shipping interests, but these
have declined, leaving many storage
houses near the wharves vacant.
The greatest ATTRACTION of the place
is the publicl library, probably more
beautiful than any in the United
States in the exquisite finish of the
exterior. 1t Ewas presented to the

MAKE PERMANENT ROADWA VS..

England has been a thousand years
in developing her public roads up to
their present advanced condition.
About 10000 miles of turnpike of the
most substantial character now inter-
lace the country, affording the most
comfortable means of travel and
transportation of products from one
point to another. This was brought
about by the formation of turnpike
companies which for many years OPP
Grated the roads and charged toll, but
this became so obnoxious to the peo-
pie that the government was compel
led to assume the burden of buy
ing the roads and making them free,
the last one being now purchased.
The cost of maintaining these roads
now devolves on the government, and
all sections share alike IN the conve-
nience and economy of good roads at
a minimum cost. Our own country
should not wait thousand years for
such development, but should profit
by the practical operation of the En-
Sl1Sn system, OF Quiet plans IL IOuuO
better, and begin at once to make
permanent roadways. If this is too
big an undertaking for the general
government, the state, or even the
county might undertake it, fostered
by national or state aid. A system
Of roadmaking formulated on good
practical basis and worked out with
honest endeavor, by men stirred by
patriotic impulses, would in a few
years raise the value of the land and
the character of rural life up to
plane that wonld insure the most per-
manenU prosperity. Whilst some may
argue that the advancing strides Of
electricity will soon supplant the use
of the common road, they evidently
lose sight of the fact that the electric
motor will also be applied to individ-
ual carriages as substitute for horses,
and these must have good smooth
roadways.

Prof. Bell, of the geological survey
at Ottowa, Ont, reports having dis
covered a river in the province of
Quebec of large dimensions. He fol-
lowed this river to James bay. The
river had three large branches, one Of
which has it's source north of Three
Rivers, another in the Lake st. John
region. and the third near Lake Mis-
tassini. This new river, for which
the Indians have no name, is larger
than the Ottawa, and DR.. Bell affirms
it to be the sixth of the great rivers
of the world. It's average width is
considerably over a mile, and it has
expansions many miles in width. 1t
flows through level clay country, is
very deep, and may be called the new
Nile of the North. The river is 500
miles in length, and great stretches
would be navigable for steamers.
Toward James bay there are success
sions of great rapids, which render
it useless as an inland river. The
primeval forest extends along the
whole length of the river.
