A TENDS DEED.

URGED ON BY THE DEMON, LUST, THE
 BRUTE RAvIsHEs THEN BURNS HELP
 LESS GIRL.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 5.-Near Hawthorn, Alachua county, Fla, yester- day evening Annie Jenkins, a 16-year- white girl, was ravished by a negro and then roasted. The girl was returning home from neighbours and was walking on the railroad track. She discovered some ties on fire and attempted to extin- guish the flames. While thus engaged negro seized and dragged her into the bushes and repeatedly ravished her. After his lust had been sat- isfed, with iendish cruelty, the brute held the girl over the burning ties until her clothing was in blaze. He then threw her into muddy place near the track and escaped. The girl became unconscious and was so found several hours later by her father. who, alarmed by her absence, went in search. When she recovered conscious ness she told the above story. Posses are searching for the negro, and If caught the whites swear they will burn him at the stake. The girl will hardly recover.

STRICT NEUTRALITY

WILL THE UNITED STATES OBSERVE IN THE
 CUBAN RESURRECTION.
 MADRID, March 5.-In the lower house of the cortes today Gen. Lopez Dominguez, the war minister, declared that the rumors circulated upon the bourse of insurgent victories in Cuba and the death of General Lachambre were untrue. General De- minguez stated in reply to the ques- tion- asked by Senor Osma yesterday with regard to Americans arrested in Cuba 1, that it was not expected that the United States would make any claims against the government, as such actions according to the treaty .of San Juan would have no legal basis.

from Portland to New York, then by canal to Philadelphia, from there to Pittsburg by canal, from there to St. Louis by boat, down the Ohio and up the Mississippi, and from St. Louis to St. Paul by boat.
 In those days St. Paul was but a trad ing post There were a few business houses, but I saw sight then that no man will ever see there again. It seemed to me that there were at least 1000 h. dians at the post trading their furs. They brought them in curiously constructed OK carts, made without the use of a scrap of iron, the wheels section. of tree, and drawn by one OK dashed to the poles. They were drunken crowd, all but few, who seemed to be a committee appointed to keep sober and to see to 1t that others were not cheated. Sometimes the crowd would give a yell that fairly seemed to take the roof off.
 II went to the falls of St. Anthony and looked at the surroundings. Where Min neapolis now stands there was not Q single building. Whom I was there last, I went to the falls and as 1 looked at the great cities wondered if it was possible that could have been there before they were built. It seems strange and almost be- yond comprehension that my business ca reer could have antedated those cities and even the commercial importance of Chi cago itself, but so 1t Is, and I am still a vigorous man."
 "You spoke of having visited Chicago A years ago. MT. Curtis What sort of place was it thenP
 ''Then there was but one railroad, q small local affair, rather contemptuousiy called the milk route. went there from Buffalo by boat and was five days on the way tried to do a little business every time we stopped to wood up on the way, and in fact, we drummers had that sys- tenn on tho route from St. Louis to St. Paul and along the canals, " replied MT. Curtis.
 'I reached Chicago Saturday night and put up at wooden hotel on Lake street, near where the Fremont house now stands.
 lin those days Chicago had but few brick buildings and the wooden ones were seldom moro than two stories high. In fact, am unable to recall a single build ing more than two stories high. There was not sidewalk, except on Lake street, and that was of wood, and the water came up through with almost every step Steam boats and stages brought people there, and about the most interesting sight was old Fort Dearborn, with doors and log sides pierced with balls. There was not foos of paved street in all Chicago when first struck the place, and yet even then--and it was the time of small things-there was that same belief in Chicago and the same dash and push that you zee now in that great oity.
 1.-The drummers of today are bright fel- lows, but can't help thinking if we had slower trade we had better times in tho days when we thought three miles an hour by cana]boat good time and were content to trudge along behind a stagecoach and not say a word if only our samples were taken through in safety "-Boston Globe.
