An interesting use of photography is
noted in the last annual report Of the
city engineer of Rochester, N. Y. To
meet the requirements of construction
his department has found it necessary
to prepare 1876 Photographic negatives,
800 prints and 1856 lantern slides. Pho
Biography was used for many pur-
poses. In the first place, for a record
of old structures, which may have had
an important place in the early local
history. Second, as a record of con-
struction, for the purpose Of study.
and also for the purpose of squirting
the inspectors n contractors to great

necessary to educate the public of the
city to a better comprehension Of the
question of beauty in bridge designs.
The engineer prepared a lecture on
city bridges and illustrated it by 14O
lantern slides made from photographs.
The slides were selected to show ex-
listing structures which are failures,
in direct comparison with successful
and beautiful specimens of bridge
building. The lecture had a good eff

Mississippi spends too much money

Mississippi distributes aboutsi,oo'-
900 a year among the counties ana
separate school districts for educa'

only State in the Union which seems
to spend too much money for educa

TO AMERICANS.
MANIFESTO OF THE CUBANS MADE
PUBLIC.
Needs of the Patriots Summarized
"Let America, Let the World De-
eide Where Justice and Right
Rest"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec ia
manifesto of the Cuban revolutionary
party to the people of the United
States was made public today. 1t is
a long document, prepared by Enrique
Jose Verona, ex-deputy of the Spanish
Cortes. and reviews the history of the
revolutionary agitation in Cuba and
the present conditions on the island.
The manifesto summarizes the Cuban
needs thus:
1.-THE people of Cuba require only
liberty and independence to become d
factor in prosperity and progress
among the civilized nations, instead of
intranquility, disturbance and ruin
The fault lies entirely with Spain.
Cuba is not the offender, it is the defen-
der of it's rights. Let America, let the
world decide where rest justice and
right
Il is set out that no people could
bear the wrongs endured by the Gu
bans without protest, without degrad-
ing and condemning itself to annihila-
ton The manifesto concludes:
Spain denies Cubans all effective
powers in their own country; con-
dennis them to political inferiority i'll
their native land; confiscates the pro-
duct of their labor, without giving In
return either safety, prosperity or ed
ucation. Spain has shown itself utter
ly incapable of governing Cuba,
which it exploits, impoverishes and de-
moralizes. Cubans-not in anger, but
in despair-have appealed to arms to

together with about 800 of the Battal-
ion CanarioS, under a. lieutenant colo

renewed the engagement, having been
once driven back. But they were fin
ally repulsed with heavy loss

GERS and thirty soldiers killed and forty
soldiers wounded. Colonel Arizon, at
the close of the engagement, was left

HEARNE'S TRIAL.
FEATURE WAS THE COLLAPSE OF
Mrs. HEL--.NE.
No Longer Able to Maintain Her
Self-COntrOI, She SObs Hysterical-
1y-StiIlweIl Cool and Collected.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, Dec. 16-
The feature of the Hearne murder
trial today was the collapse of Mrs.
Hearne, who, unable to longer main
tain the remarkable self-control which
she has shown throughout the trial,
covered her face and sobbed hysteri-
cally. The first indication of Mrs.
Hearne's breakdown came as Witness
John Stillwell, nephew of the murder
ed man, was picturing to the jury the
CHASTITY wound in his uncle's head,
and the climax was reached when the
witness said DR.. Hearne had told him
that the murderer could only be
found in two ways. 1T was either
done by burglar" DIR. Hearne said.
"or Mrs. Stillwell knows all about it."
At this point Mrs. Hearne's self-con-
troll gave way and she moaned between
her sobs: "Oh, I don't want to hear
that. 1 don't want to hear that
While on the stand during the di-
rect examination, Mr.. Stillwen was
cool and collected. His testimony was
at first directed to describing events at
the Munger party. The witness was
then called upon to describe the posi-
ton of the body of his uncle and the
condition of the room in which it lay
on the night of the murder. He con-
firmed the story told by Richard Still
we'll, even to the smallest detail.
New important testimony was
ELECTED from several witnesses, when
DR.. Verette of Hannibal was placed
on the stand. On December 80, 1888,
he was in st. Louis. He reached
Hannibal about l a. m. on the morn
ing of December so. and went 10 his
office. On the way he saw DR.. Hearne
coming from the direction Of the Still
well house The time was about lis
a. m. The witness thought DR.. Hearne
saw him, but they did not speak.
A story sensational in the extreme,
yet with an origin that throws dis
credit upon it, gained some circula-
ton today. 1t is SO unreasonable in
fact. that little or no confidence is
placed in it. 1t is the story of a
negro servant girl, who claims that
Mrs Hearne sought to induce her to
bride a juror. The woman is a wait
ress at the Emerson hotel, named
Roxie Turpin. Mr. Gunrell, proprietor
of the hotel. and his daughter. Pearl,
both declare they do not take in the
story of Roxie, because she is
notorious liar. The girl insists that it
is true.

Dennis Davis, charged with murder
and tried and sentenced in the United
