pit twice every day, reads the Bible
fluently, and sings songs OF praise. He
never uses the same subject twice. He has
wonderful memory, can repeat whole
chapters of the Bible, name all the books,
and it is alleged can find any text in any
OF the books without aid. His father says
lie never had any schooling in his life, his
attainments having come TO him without
the aid of the usual methods. a.
He prepares his lectures in advance, and
devotes great care to them. He writes
fairly well for one OF his age, speaks well
and has clear, musical voice. He Is
very vain OF his attachments, and is glad to
tell or write ofhis life to anyone who wishes
to know. He has delivered over 200
lectures in New Orleans and has always
had a full house. He is regarded as a
marvel in the southern city.
MIRACLE WORKING BLACKSMITH.
Among those who claim miraculous pow
ers is Bradley Newell of Jacksonville, vt.
Newell was the village blacksmith one year
ago, poor, ignorant and unknown Now he
has au income Of not less thai $25yO0O q
year, donations sent to him by persons who
have been treatcd by him. He is a changed
man since the discovery Of his powers, or
the gulliblity OF the people. Formerly but
ayilluger, with Doambition above his humble
lot, with long black beard and unkempt
locks, he has changed his dress for the best
that money can buy and has cuthis whiskers
until he looks like promising professional
man. He has visited many Of the New Eng
land cities and has established reputa :
ton as a healer which has spread beyond
the limits of his native State.
Newell cures by the laying on OF hands. 1t
is said of him that he is really hypDOtist.
although he denies any knowledge of this
science, if it can be called such. Many of
those whom he treated say that their pains
vanished with the laying on of Kewelrs
hands, but many others say that they felt
no effect He asserts that Whispering voices
told him to cure his wife's headache and
that then he felt the power and began the
treatment of others. He denies that he is a
spiritualist and that he believes in material
izations. He tried his method on several
persons at one sitting and had varying sue
cess. Unlike most of his kind, Newell has
the yankee thrift. He treated 1000 cases
before he received a regular fee. but he
soon concluded that healing for pure philan-
thropy might win praises but little bread.
Now he has n business manager and charges
for his services.

Among the hundreds of visitors who will
visit Norfolk and Fortress Monroe during
their stay here or on their way home, there
will be many who will wish to see the
beautiful scenery along the Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay. Many, too, much prefer
travelling by day, than by night. For
these, and for those Washingtonians who
have never taken this trip, the steamer
Newport News will make the sail by day
light on July Z, l 1, 13. 1 8. and It, leav-
ing Seventh street wharf at Z SO u. m, md

same evening. The regular night steamers
OF the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company leave the wharf every evening in

Monroe early the next morning. All the
steamers of this line are noted for their
luxurious apartments-their comfort and
cOnveuiences-and for their excellent table.
From July toll, the fare for the round
trip, on either day or night steamers, has
been reduced to So. Passengers may go
on day steamers and return at night, or

Cuhnn Iron Mfnea

Cuba is well to have large resources
in the form of iron of excellent quality,
which have been developed for con-
siderable time past by American enter
prise. The ore ranges from 81 to 81
per cent of iron, and is remarkably free
from phosphorus. From the year 1884
to 1893 the total quantity produced
was about 100000 tons, commencing
With 21.7O9 tons in 1884 and ending
with 3&I3, 900 tons In 1898. The princi-
pal ore exporting concerns are the
.IaragEa and the Ligua Iron companies.
The ore is chiefly mined in open cuts.
The Cuban Bessemer iron ore range,
as it is described In the United States
where the ore is wholly consumed
Is east of Santiago de Cuba, and ex-
tends in length about twenty-five
miles. The iron outcrops average in
width about 300 feet, the surface be-
tween them being composed Of ore
bearing ground, with bikes Of rock
varying from so to 1000 feet in width.
Quite recently new company, styled
the Spanish-American company, has
gone into business, and built docks and
railroads. The iron ore beds are eight
miles from the coast and at an average
elevation OF 1900 feet.-1ron and Coal

PLuToCRACY .LAuDs IT.

Yale College Students Commended For
ass Insulting bryan.
Here are the remarkable editorial
views Of the New York Sun upon the
conduct Of the Yale students in break
ing up, the Bryan meeting at New Ha-
ZEN. Beyond calling attention to tho
simple fact that The. Sum is the leading
organ of the New York plutocracy COM
ment is unnecessary:
''They ought to have done it, and the
sentiment to which they gave utterance
was honorable to them. The boys made
a great noise, cheering for Mckinley
and yelling and jeering at reputation.
SO that Mr.. Bryan could not be heard
for several minutes. If they had APP
plauded him necessarily for even q full
half hour, would there have been any
complaint Of their preventing him from
starting out in his speech? Has not a
crowd in the open air as much right to
hiss as to cheer? At what period in our
history was that privilege taken from
Americans?
''The Yale students did right. They
may have been boisterous beyond the
measure of necessity, after the fashion
of college boys, but the spirit animating
them was wholly honorable, wholly
commendable. Their fathers have good
reason to be proud of such sons. When
General Webb calls their conduct 'das-
tardly and outrageous. he proves him
self to be man disqualified to be a
college president and an exemplar for
youth. He and not they deserve the re-
proach Of his unjustifable letter. .
