Practically all the wood used in maxi
ing spools for thread in this country
and Great Britain is cut in Maine for
ests, but so great is the amount of lum-
berrequired each year for the making Of
these seemingly insignificant articles
that Maine will not be able to supply
the raw material much longer. The
spools are made of birch wood, and
the birch of the Maine forests is the
best for the purpose More than two
million feet of lumber is shipped to
Scotland every year for the use of the
great thread manufactures there, and
almost as much Is supplied to domestic
manufacturers. The business began in
Maine twenty-five years ago, and land
that was cut over at that time is now
well covered with young trees, but not
for twenty-five years more will this
timber be fit to cut. Birch timber is
becoming scarce, and it will not be
many years before thread makers will
have to look elsewhere than to Maine
for their spool wood. While it takes
fifty years for birch forests to renew
themselves, the crop is considered a
profitable one.

HER Art And HIS SKILL
Rehan and DAILY Production of "a

Miss Ada Rehan has evidently arranged
her plays in the order of their excellence
and popularity. II was expected that the
scenic splendors of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" would attract a large company to
Lafayette Square Opera House last even
ing. but the result exceeded the antiHipa-
ton.
AT very few minutes after the rise of
the curtain there was standing room only.
Theaudence Yascomposed "f the upper ten
ofsocial lifeverylarge!y, among them being
many OF the diplomatic corps and attaches
of legations.
IL was, of course, understood that the
play itself would be admirably done and
put on, hut few were prepared for the
instance the courtroom OF Theseus, the
wood in which Nick Bottom was trans
lated" and especially the exquisite spec
tacular charm OF Titania's bower. This
last was about the most accurate and de-
ceptiye in detail that could be desired.
Its realism was decidedly striking. As
to the play within the play in the fifth act
il was immensely funny. 1t made the audi-
ence roar much louder than even Snug the
Joiner in bis capacity of lfpn.

DEAD AT HIS DESK .
George FIint's Demise Believed to lie
Due to Heart Failure.

George FliH's Demise Believed to BE
Due to Heart Failure.
Mr.. George Flint, steDographer, with m
office on the first floor of the Fendall
building, wasfound dead at his desk at 2: 1 5
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon by Mr. N. o.
Hodges. Heart failure is supposed to have
been the cause.
Mr.. Flint, who is about fifty-five years
of age had been seen entering his office
but half an hour before he was found, and
though alone when he died, it is believed
he was discovered within few moments
after death.
Mr.. Blair Lee. whose office is next door,
and George IL. Lamar were standing near
the entrance to the building when Mr..
Hodges came up the steps. He passed them
and walked to the door of Mr.. Flint's room,
half dozen feet further on.
When he opened the door he saw Mr..
Flint leaning back and supporting him
self with one hand on the floor his
brow was covered with perspiration and
his face pale.
Mr.. Hodges called to the two men in
the hall. Mr.. Lamar thought he detected
slight sensation in the pulse, but life
was clearly extinct before a physician
arrived.
Mr.. Fiint's two sons were Immediately
sent for. The younger one, with whom
the father had been spending the summer in
one of the suburbs, is in the law office of
Gen. McCannon. The elder son, Albert
Flint is a clerk in the Patent Office.
The coroner had not yet viewed the body
when Undertaken Speare was sent for to
take charge OF il.
Mr. Flint was an Englishman by birth,
and came to washington seven months ago

Child in Police Court.
An affecting scene occurred in Judge
Kimball's courtroom yesterday morning,
when Mr c. II. Brooks, the father of A. W
Brooks, alias A w Bent, the young man
who was arrested few days ago as a
suspicious char acter, appeared before
his honor asking for the custody of his
boy.
Brooks has been arrested here twice,
about a year ago for attempting to pass a
bogus check. and last week for acting
in a suspicious manner. He had registered
at two hotels under two different names
and had not paid his bills for two weeks
The father came on to-day from IlioD,

his honor again.

AN ExAMpLE FOR OTHERS.

The large attendance at the meeting
last evening to perfect arrangements for
a Cuban demonstration Indicates the senti-
ment of this community on that importan mt
question. In Tact it can be accepted as an
evidence of the feeling of the general pub
lie. for whenever n meeting has been held
to express sympathy with the Cuban pa
triots it has received almost unanimous
support. The American heart is always
with the oppressed. The recollection OF
our own revolution and the struggles of
our forefathers for independence is the most
sacred thing connected with our history,
and whether or not the administration rec
ognizes the Cubans they have the earnest
and heartfelt sympathy of Americans.
The insurgents are right in battling for
their freedom; their cause is just and it
must triumph. The drift of popular senti-
nicnt is toward republican forms of gov
ernment, and no such relic of monarchical
oppression as the Spanish domination of
Cuba can longer exist within the shadow of
the American flag. With the exception
of Canada the nIisrule of Cuba is the
idst NcsliSe VI european COutIol VI Ahicii
can soil. Nearly every other foot of land in
the geographical outlines of the Western
hemisphere is in the hands of republic.
Cuba Will soon be Il republic and Canada
will shortly follow. 1t is destiny.
The coming Endorsement of the Cuban
struggle by a Washington mass meeting
is an event of more than ordinary sig
nificance. This is the seat of a great
government, the home of the most power
full republic, and its people are looked
upon as the representatives of the entire
country. Their actions are generally con-
servative and seldom sensational or demon
strative. but the people of the national
capital are intensely patriotic and their
sympatiies are never withheld from pa
triots in distress. For that reason the
proposed Cuban mass meeting will be un-
usually large and enthusiastic, and it will
stand as a commendable example for other
American cities.

WILL BE ALL TALK.

Unless something new turns up the ap-
preaching Congress VIII be left without an
AK TO successfully grind, or policy from
which to create an issue. The tariff has
been provided for, the financial question
no longer interests the public, the cancella-
tioD ofthc greenbacks is anissuc the Repabli-
cans could not touch without increasing the
unpopular National Bank circulation. and
there will be nothing for Congress TO do
except TO fill the Congressional Record with
denunciations of the administration, es
pecially of its pension policy, and u decidedly
lurid eulogy of the Republican party.
Naturally many references will be made
TO the large increase of our bonded in
-debtcdness and the disastrous hard times
but neither can be laid at the door of the
Democratic party without resorting TO mis-
representation. The lack OF revenues was
due To hard times, and that condition was
the result of too much political agitation
and an unwise financial system. The same
unfortunate state of affairs would have
come about with any other party in power,
and it cannot be successfully attributed to
the policy of any one party, because all are
equally responsible.
There might be change made in our
financial system were not the Republican
and Democratic policies so widely different
on that question. President Cleveland
would never sign a Republican bank meas
ure. nor would Republican Congress con-
slider the free banking system proposed by
him to the last Congress. II is extremely
doubtful IL a measure could be enacted
that would increase our revenues unless
recommended by the President. He would
probably veto anything except an increase
through our internal revenue system, and
to use slang pariance there we are again."
III the army of trusts could be abolished
and all branches of trade permitted TO
thrive on similar conditions, no special
legislation would be necessary except TO
provide for the cancellation of greenbacks
as fast as redeemed. The country must
and viii prosper under any favorable cir
curnstanres, and if the cause for financial
unrest could be removed and the burden of
high prices taken from the shoulders of
the public. through the abolition of trusts,
there would be an end TO the possibility
q hard times.
Unfortunately neither the next Congress
nor the present executive will remedy these
evils. The reason is obvious.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE WORE

The most beneficial and lasting work ever
done by temperance organization was the
successful Introduction of the study of
scientific and physiological temperance by
the W. C. T. U. in the public schools of
forty-one StatesNuf the Union Only three
States-Virginia, Georgia, and Arkansas
refused TO enact law making this study
compulsory, and in doing so neglected to
adopt the only way tn bring about salts
factory temperance reform.
1t is like fighting the fires of hades to
abolish an appetite for liquor Such habits
when once fixed in mans life refuse to be
overcome, and but few have the viii pnwer
and the physical strength to conquer them
Therefore, temperance reform among adults
must always be more or less disappointing.
But with the young it is different If
when their minds and habits are being
moulded they can be impressed with the
danger of the liquor abuse, its effect nn
the future and its positive destruction of
that which is good and noble, liquor drink
ing viii necessarily become repulsive.
That Kind of temperance work not only
does away with the use of liquor as a
beverage, but it insures n more intelligent
generation. Men are better developed NOR
ally and intellectually when the brain is
not injured by the use OF strong drink. and
as they are the engines of strength and
wisdom that create and maintain human
progress, it is easy to see how much greater
would be their brain energy when not i'm
paired by liquor.
Now let Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas
keep pace with civilization by adopting
the study of temperance in their public
schools.

building sewers to improve the surround
ing country.
The argument that the James Greek
Canal can be made useful for commercial
purposes should not weigh against public
health. There is only one way to get
rid of an evil and that is to uproot and
exterminate it. Compromising with an
open sewer for private gain is too much
like opening door for death to invade
our households, and such folly neither this
nor any other community can afford to
foster.
