7. r. PALMA, PRESIDENT OF CUBA.
Bayamo, Cuba, in 1885. During the last
revolution he was constantly in the
field. His valor and natural ability to
handle soldiers attracted the attention
of his countrymen, and he was named
for one office after another until finally
he was proclaimed president of the Re-
public. In 1877 he was captured and
imprisoned. When the war ended he
was freed, and came to this country.
Senior Palma is married and has five
bright children. He is an interesting
talker and his manners are those Of a
courtier.

A plea is being made for the obscry.

A plea is being made for the observ-
ance of "bird day" in our schools,
with the hope that it will create an en-
thusiasm and love for birds, and a
love of nature which now has its begin
ming and ending in Arbor Day. If
teachers are too busy to make that
preparation necessary for successful
observance of such a day. why may not
the women's clubs, as writer in the
Outlook suggests, shed their sweetness
and light OH the school children occa-
sionally, and end the hour or two de-
voted to the work by simple after
noon tea to their little guests? This
surely would be practical work, in
the estimation of the New York Post,

A number of prominent New York
physicians were recently interviewed
in regard to the use Of hypnotism in
their practice. They oil admitted
that they resorted to hypnosis when
other means failed, and that by this
means they often cured obstinate
cases of insomnia and of dipsomania.
The cure OF the drink habit by hypno-
tism is no new thing, but it is nov.
city to find leading physicians resort
ing to it. In the same way some ia
nous surgeons hypnotize patients
who object to an@sthetics, and in this
way perform operations while the sub.
ject is unconscious of pain. The sub.
ject is very interesting one, and de-
spite the study made of it by many
experts in medicine no one has yet
been able to explain why one person

cult one.

FACTS FOR DEMOCRATS.
Tin Plate Truths for Free Tradc
Fanatics.

Fanatics.
Look here. you Democratic editors
and stump speakers!
A few short years ago you said tin
plato could not bc made in this
country.
You ridiculed every plant that was
established.
You said they were erected for cam
paign purposes.
You said it was ell being done for
political effect.
You lied about the matter and de-
ceived your readers and hearers.
You said tin plate was not then
made and never would be made in this
country.
Now what do you think Of it?
There are now 156 tin plate mills in
operation or under construction in
the United States.
And there are more than fifty-eight
projected.
And now for some figures taken from
Democratic records.
The aggregate output of the mills
now and soon to be in operation is
~, 200 boxes each per annum.
This means an aggregate output of
1850, 600 boxes in oil.
When the projected mills are COM
pleted the total annual output will
reach 6,420, 900 boxes, or enough to
supply the home market.
That, Mr.. Democrat, is a result of
Republican protection.
1t is a"result achieved in spite of
Democratic falsehoods and sneering
predictions OF failure.
1t is result of legislating in the
interest OF America and Americans.

Ono Month Only.

Let US glance at the workings of
Ghe German tariff during period of
month only. BY comparing the de-
crease in our exports for nine months
ending March 81 with our exports to
February %, a month earlier, we have
the following:
DECREASE IN EXPORTS.
July l. 1891, to- Value.
Febrsary 2S, 1895 .. $500. 500, 1864
March 81, 1885,. ......... -. 79.666,3li
1t is clear that the month of March
gave loss, in round numbers, Of
$40, 10000 in our exports over and
above the loss recorded up to Febru-
ary 2S, comparing the shipments of
American products and manufactures
for the current fiscal year with those
of the precee ling fiscal year. Garry
ing similar comparison to our i'm.
ports, we find it to be as follows:
INCREASE IN IMPORTS.
July 1, 1894. to Value.
February 28, 1895 .......... $50, So ,2Sj
March 81, 1895. 5.,............... 54655, ,4i3
Where the increase to February 2S,
1895, was nearly J1.000, 900 more
than in the corresponding months of
the previous fiscal year, it was almost
81, 900, 900 larger by the end of March,
showing that our purchases OF foreign
goods were $4,000, 900 more costly to
us at the end of March than they
were at the beginning of that month.
Thus the total money loss in our
trade, both for exports and imports,
during the single month of March
amounted to very nearly 81 1000, Ooo.

FELL FROM a WAGON DEAD.
Heart Disease Attacked a Negro Rid
ing Through the Streets.

James Davis, oolored, about 50 years of
age, fell from a wagon on Congress street
in front of the market yesterday after
noon about 4:3O o'clock and died in five
minutes.
There were a great many people on the
streets, and a large crowd gathered
around the body IN q short while. The
general opinion was that Davis
had broken his neck by strik-
ing on his head on the pave
ment, but this was incorrect, as an ex-
animation by the coroner showed that the
neck was not broken, 1t Is more likely
that death was the result of heart failure.
Davis was riding In a low, one-horse
wagon with an old oolored man named
Limerick Murray. The latter was haul
ing some chicken crates for Charles S.
Ledhe, on St Julian street, and Davis
was helping him. The old man stated
that Davis was complaining of a pain in
his side, which he said had afflicted him
for several years. As the wagon was
passing the market he saw Davis sud
denly topple over from the seat and fall
forward His head struck against the
shafts, and he tumbled TO the ground.
Murray said that Davis did not fall on
his head. He noticed that ne did not
throw out his hands TO clutch at any
thing as he fell. He stopped the wagon
and called 10 Davis to know what was
the natter but got no reply. He then
got out and went to him, and found that
the man was dying
Policeman f. f. Davis, who was on
duty at the market, telephoned for the
police ambulance but finding shortly a r.

The settlement of the question between

own figures, he having fixed valua-
ton for the property. He says he had
already declined to receive the figures
offered by the company and will not ac-
cept those indicated by the grand jury
on last Tuesday. As the matter Is be-
fore the controller general, it will have
to come before the county commissioners
after having been reported on by the tax
collector and the tax receiver before final
action is taken.
Capt. Dillon says according to the agree

papers to be sent the controller general.
