ROE EATS AT LAST.
He Started on a Potato Which Proves q
Great Appetizer.

Great Appetizer.
Charles Roe. the young man at the
county Jail who has been refusing to eat,
gave up this morning and allowed Jailer
Burdge to push potato into his mouth.
This he ate ravenously calling cut in
smothered voice that it was "mighty
good" and asked for more.
He was given some bread and butter
which he crowded into his mouth and
gulped down as though he had decided
to live after all. 1t was not necessary
either to use rubber tuba to force milk
into his system for he drank as much of
it as he was allowed and wanted more.
Mr.. Burdge would not allow him to over
load at the start and will feed him care
fully.
Roe is undoubtedly wrong in his brain,
for he stares at the visitor in a vacant
way and if he answers a question at all,
it is in a way that tends to show that he
does not thoroughly understand what hs
is talking about.
DR.. G. s. McClintock, the county phy-
sirian, says it is only question of a lit
tie time till Roe loses his mind entirely.
There are those about the Jail. however,
that think he is acting strangely in hope
of being able to escape the penitentiary
on plea of insanity.

Convention to be Called to study Proph-

P1TTsBURe Pa, July 16.-Arrange-
ments are being made for convention
in this city for the study of bible prophe-
cies in regard to the second coming of
Christ. Rev. W. G. Moorehead, D. D., of
Xenia. O., and Rev. W. ]. Eardman, D.
D., of Philadelphia have been appointed
to corresp pond with prominent ministers
and if possible to secure their services.
What we believe is simply this, said a
prominent minister of the faith: "a
thousand years before the final judgment
Christ will come personally to the earth
and inaugurate His Kingdom of Right
eousness. At that time there will be a
resurrection of all the righteous dead"
It will be gratifying to consumers to

LONDON, Nov. 22.-The Morning
Post in an editorial says: 1t is
difficult to understand the indigna-
ton Of Mr.. Iselin, who managed
Defender for the American yacht
ing syndicate. AS Lord Dunraven's
first complaining about the INNER
sion Of Defender was disregarded,
he can hardly be blamed. 1t is
questionable whether Mr.. Iselin
has acted ~discreetly in saddling on
himself an accusation that has
not been made. Both Lord Dun
raven and Mr.. Iselin may rest
assured that the committee ap-
pointed to conduct the investiga-
ton will do them both Justice.

speech.
Resolutions we're adopted de-
claring that the sultan of Turkey

Uncle Sam and John Bun.

CHICAGO, Nov. PA Washing
ton special to the Tines-H Herald
says:
The president and Secretary Oh
ney do not expect the reply Of the
British government to Americas
representation on the subject COW
ering the Venezuelan boundary
dispute and the Monroe doctrine
in time to admit of it's treatment
in the presidents annual message
to congress. 1t is understood the
British cabinet Is now at work up
on their reply, but the meeting OF
congress is now so near that it is
not likely to be received before the
first day Of the session. When it
comes it will be made the subject
Of a special message to congress.
There are good reasons for the be-
lief that Lord Salisbury's reply
will be of a conciliatory nature,
either admitting the boundary dis.
pute to arbitration and thus recog-
nizing the applicability Of the
Monroe doctrine, or preparing the
way for such action later on. So far
as Great Britain's reported ulti-
matum to Venezuela is concerned,
the state department believes no
such ultimatum was ever sent.

B
Their Orders Against Sugar Crop
Affect $2o,ooo,o 600 Ameri-
can Property.

can Property.
NEW YORK, Nov. PA special
dispatch to the World from Hav.
ana says: Americans owing
sugar property in Cuba, worth $780,
600, 900 find 1t jeopardized by Gen.
Maxine Gomez's recent order to de-
stroy every estate whose owner
tries to MAKE sugar this winter.
Consul General Williams, who
has been in the sugar business in
Cuba or in close touch with it for
more than 40 years, thinks that es-
innate is not too high. The bulk
of the sugar property in Santa
Clara is owned by foreign capital.
The Spanish holders are in the
minority. The Cuban owners hold
more than the Spaniards.
Such great estates as Caracas
and Los Hermanos are owned by
Cubans. The first mentioned, the
largest in the world, belongs to the
Terry heirs.
Here are some Of the extensive
| American interests involved: The
Soledad estate, near Arimao, is
owned by Edward Atkins of Bos-
ton. The Horliguero estate is
owned by the Brothers Ponvet Of
New York the Constantica estate
is owned by Perkins & Welsh, New
York !; the San Augustin and the
LIE Quito estates by an American
| syndicate, of which Col. James S.
| Murphy is the manager. Those
are in the Cienfuegoes district and
represent a value in good times of
$1,000 900. In Trinidad there is the
great property owned by the Have
meyers of New York. In the Sagua
district is the George Thordyke es-
tate, those of Heminway of Boston ;
the Santa Anna and the st. George.
The Victorian estate Is an Ameri-
| property, and Perkins & Welsh of
New York control a large sugar es.
tate.
The value Of the American in
terests in Sagua is aboutS 5 100000
in good times. In Puerto Principe
province Americans hold sugar es-
tates worth nearly $l,000,000 and
in Matanzas province the Madden,
the Terry and the Heydiger prop
critics are extremely valuable. The
owner Of one, after a brave struggle,
is about to abandon fields repre-
senting the toll of many years.
Many OF the American sugar prop
| critics on the island will be forced
into bankruptcy il they r not
permitted to make a crop the COM
ing winter.

Mexico Claims South Ell paso.

DENVER, Nov. PA republican
special from Ell Paso, Texas, says:
Mexican engineers of the interna-
tional boundary commission now
in session here have been survey
ing and placing monuments
through the southern portion of
the city, 80 as to take in a strip of
the city over a mile long and six
blocks deep. The American COM
missioner, Col. Arson Mills, was
called here to consider a claim from
Mexico, and while that claim has
not been submitted, it is understood
Mexico will claim territory on the
north side of the river, within the
corporate limits of Ell Paso, on the
ground that the original channel
Of the river run almost through the
center Of the city, but that because
Of embankments the flood waters
shifted the main channel over on
Mexican territory. Mexicans liv-
ing in the southern portion of the
city are so confident that their
homes will soon be conceded to be
on Mexican soil that they are fly.
ing the Mexican colors from their
house tops. 1t is claimed by the
American residents that under the
Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty the
boundary line was fixed in 1852,
where the river now runs.

Black VS.. White in Cuba.

NEW YORK, Nov. pa special
to the Herald from Santiago de
Cuba says: Rumors have been
current in this city for months re-
garding jealousy and friction in
the ranks OF the insurgents, the
black being intensely jealous OF
the whites. Much Of this has APP
peared in print, the whites openly
stating that where they were in
the minority they were ignored
and badly treated /; that the elder
Maceo, now 60 years old, was very
suspicious, and that he had sur
rounded himself with a chosen
band Of blacks. Maceo is the
chief of the Antillian league, an
order of blacks, part secret and
part open, which is pledged to
black domination in the West In
dies. About 20 men constitute his
body guard.
Owing to the friction and jeal.
ousies many whites have left the
rebel ranks and have surrendered
to General Martinez Campos who
has pardoned and released them.
The late Jose Marti was the &C.
knowledged leader Of the white
section of the rebels. He was the
chief organizer OF this present
movement. His death, it was said,
was due to a reckless charge that
he made on a body of Spanish
troops in which he was shot. 1t
now seems that Marti was not shot
by the S%paniards but by some of
General Maceo's body guard and
that their action was in keeping
with their chiefs expressed wishes.
This information comes directly
from the insurgent ranksto a gen.
tleman in this city. At first 1t was
kept quiet, but now is an open Sc.
cret.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Eugene V.
Debs became a free man again at
II o'clock last night. His term of
six months imprisonment In
Woodstock jail came to an end
while he snored b~lissfully in his
cell. In no degree changed in his
convictions, in no wise repentant
Of his attitude in times past and
with the came opinion that the
Federal courts have yet to learn
how to administer justice, Mr..
Debs finishes his sentence in about
the same condition both mentelly
and physically as when Sheriff
Eckert took him in charge 1873
days ago. He is the same earnest
and magnetic champion of or
ganized labor as in days gone by,
his genial disposition not having
suffered in the least by his enforced
confinement. He explained all
this last night while sitting in the
sheriff's office at Woodstock by
saying:
al have been sustained by the
consciousness that L was paying
the penalty for doing what 1 con.
ceived to be my duty" Had Mr.
Debs so chosen he could have
walked out OF the jail at midnight,
but he was satisfied with the com.
fort of his quarters and preferred
to remain a prisoner until morn.

friends will go out to Woodstock
this afternoon to greet the labor

composed OF representatives OF all

WIFE SENTENCES HUsBAND.-The
novelty of a wife being called to pro-
nounce sentence or her husband added
zest to the proceedings in the Richmond
police court on Thursday. John Trek
Ter had time and time again been fined
for drunkenness, and his wife invariably
paid the fines. Thursday he was up
again on the customary charge, with
the added offense of witebeating. JUS
tice Crutchfeld, whose unique methods
of dispensing justice are we'll known,
turned an unwilling ear to the chronic
culprit and called upon the wife to de-
eide the penalty. Mrs. Trexler calmly
scanned her derelict husband and
sternly said Thirty days in jail"
Trexler pathetically pleaded for for.
giveness, alleging a penitent spirit and
a vearning to reform, but the oft-abused
and triumphant wife was inexorable,
and the court ordered that the sentence
should take effect at once.
