They Propose to Clear McLeod's Lake of
Arks and Barges.
STOCKTON, CAL, Sept 26-The ladies'
committee of the Commercial Association,
which was so successful three months ago
in raising funds to assist the Valley road
enterprise, has taken up new line of
work. The committee now proposes to
clear McLeod's Lake of the hundreds of
arks and lighthouses whose presence gives
the beautiful sheet of water the appear
ance of Chinese water village and makes
it an unfit place for ladies and children to
visit.
City Attorney Smith is of the opinion
that it will take State law to enforce the
removal of this nomad population from
public waters, although they lie inside of
municipal corporation. The ladies are
not discouraged by this, but will go before
the next Legislature and try to secure the
enactment of a law by which the police or
county officers will have power TO abate
nusances on waters within their juris-
diction.
There are now fully 100 of these floating
shanties on the lake, and the inhabitants
refuse to pay either taxes or wharfage and
defy the officers to modest them on what
they term Government waters"

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Sept. 26.-The trial
of Cesar Cummings. jointly charged with
his brother, John, who has been con-
victed of the crime of numbering T. G.
Naramore near this city on August last,
was called in the Superior Court to-day.
The prosecution, after taking the testi-
mony of couple of physicians, placed
Juan Lopez on the stand.
Lopez, who was an accomplice, told the
story of the midnight crime in detail, Just
as he had done in the trial of John Cum
mings. The defense, although trying
hard, failed to break down the witness,
who maintained his story throughout. In
addition to the witnesses put on in the
trial of John Cummings, the prosecution
swore G. d. Craig of San Bernardino. He
testified that it was he who sold the pistol
to Cesar Cummings with which the MUIR
der was committed. Craig positively
identified the defendant, and also Juan
Lopez, who was with him. 1t is expected
that the trial will be concluded to-
morrow.

defeating the inquiry.
When Mr. Campbell finished reading,
Mr.. McEnerney, for the executor, asked for
recess of some minutes in which to con-
fer with his associates. The court granted
recess for twenty minutes and when it
reopened Mr.. McEnerney said they would
probably demur to this proceeding. but
could not say positively. They would ask,
however. for five days in which to make
answer. If they decided to demur they
would serve the counsel of the other side
in the meantime, and would come pre-
pared to argue the demurrer at the time
fixed by the court.

Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained In Providence during the
summer of 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwell's avenue, and Vintsn street.
They were designed ss places where chill
oren confined to the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living In the closely populated districts,
could 60 for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge Of kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and pssceful, and
who had At their command all the re-
sources OF the kindergarten, to interest
children and lead them In the right way.
Tlss playground were kept open for six
wees, with an average Tendance Of over
ninety ch ldren each week, at fetal ex-
pense of t11o each.
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to IL years OF age, and six
foS girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders In the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice In
the sports, teaching new games as we'll a.
the best ways Of playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
Of historic or scenic interest, and scting
In general as elder brothers.
Kindergartens will be In charge of the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
Instructions will be given to the girls
in sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience of last year
will maze 1t possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located In different
parts OF the city, near to or in the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support of the
fairgrounds are solicited by the Joint COM
mittee Of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association,
and may be sent TO treasurer of the former

CUBA'S WRONGS.
Set Forth In Strong Terms From a
New York Pulpit.
DR.. WILSON'S OPINION OF SPAIN
Places That Country In an Un-
snvIable Llgh'.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Rcv. j. A. d.
Wilson, in tho Eighteenth Street Mctho-
dist church, talked in a prelude at both
the morning and evening services yester-
day on the Cuban revolution. He said:
"Bathed in sunshine, yet bedewed with
tears and blood 100 miles from our south
ern coast lies . land Of flowers and beauty
"A land of fair women and brave men
whose soil Is red with the gore of children
slain, and allied with mothers, sisters and
wives bereft Of those who died trying to
free them from the heels Of q despot
THE government Of Spain is Cuba has
been distinguished by cruelty oftsie most
outrageous nature from tho beginning to
now. The deprivation Of all creoles or
native Cuban population Of political, civil
and religious liberty, exclusion from all
public stations, combined with the heavy
taxation necessary to maintain tho large
standing army aud navy Of Spain and It's
corrupt officials, is only part of Cuba's
wrongs.
I'm the present insurrection tho burden
Is not left wholly to the negroes and
mixed races, but loyalty on the peninsula
has cooled TO such an extent that many
men OF Spanish birth are taking part in
the present uprising. No government that
denies to the people educational, civil and
religious liberty can DO free from tho re-
bellion Of its subjects.
DIR. Wilson then recited the history of
previous instructions, and said that in
1S4S the sympathy Of the people of the
United States for Cubans was such that
President Polk proposed to transfer Cuba
TO tho United States by the payment to
Spain of an indemnity of sl0o, 600, 900.
This proposition was rejected, as was also
similar one made 10 years later. DIR.
Wilson referred To Captain General Cam
pos as "a pledge breaker aud murderer OF
men, women and children"
In tho evening sermon DR.. Wilson said
that the Spanish government imposed a
tax on tho Cubsns that was equal to 80
per cent Of the country's productions. The
wrongs which drove the revolutionary
fathers Of l776 to arms against the British
crown II multiplied "a hundred fold would
be small compared TO the wrongs Of the
Cubans. They are fighting for civil and
religious liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness, for the right TO live in peace, and to
enjoy the proceeds Of their own labors.
Let us have done with Spanish dom
ination In America. 1t has been from the
beginning a carnival OF rapine and blood
