MANY have been the marvels
of invention brought forth dur
ing this famous nineteenth
century, and among perhaps
the greatest is one recently
evolved, which will mark a
vast step forward by science
IN these latter years of the
century. This is the remark
able invention Of Prof. w. G.
Roentgen, of Germany, by
which photographs may be
made of objects concealed IN
der Opaque substances. Most
unique of the experiments made
by the professor and others in
testing the invention are those
in which the rays were made
to penetrate human flesh and
photograph the skeleton Of a
living person. Bones and
metal are impervious to the
rays emitted by Prof. Roent-
gems apparatus, and it has
been successfully used to To-
cate bullets in the flesh of
wounded persons. The great
value Of such a discovery to the
art Of surgery may be readily
grasped. Though yet in the
experimental stage, the efficacy
of this great discovery is ac-
Gnowledged by numerous..scien
lists throughout the civilizsd
worll, who have make success
Sal tests Of is.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Re-
preventative William FL. Grain

this morning of catarrhal rheum
atism. He was attacked last
Thursday with a slight chill,
which soon developed into
pneumonia, and Drs. Acken

took place at his home this
morning. His family, who are
in Texas, were Immediately
notified.
The funeral arrangements
will be placed in charge of a
congressional committee, but
have not yet been completed.
The last debate in which
Mr.. Grain took a conspicuous
part was that over the series
of amendments offered by Mr..
Hainer, rep, of Nebraska, to
strike out the appropriations
in the District of Columbia
appropriations bill for the sec
tartan charitable institutions
in the district. With one eX-
ception, these institutions are
Catholic. Mr.. Grain was a
Catholic, and fought CALAMITY
against the amendments, plead
ing for the charities, and eX-
pressing contempt for any
spirit of religious intolerance,
no matter whether directed
against Catholic or protestant.
The remains of the late. Re
preventative Grain were moved
to the Pennsylvania railroad
depot and placed aboard the
10:40 train on the Southern

|CUBA'S ELOQUENT
APPEAL.
She Begs the American People
to Look Upon her Men as
Soldiers Fighting For
Liberty.
Special to The HERALD.


Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 10
The Record today publishes an
appeal to the American people,
signed by President Bretan
court of the provisional govern
ment of Cuba, and craving re-
ccgnition for the insurgents.
Says the appeal:
Call we wish now is to be
looked upon by the government
of the United States as men and
soldiers battling for their birth
right. We do not wish to ap
pear in the eyes of the world
like bandits and rebels" After
rehearsihg in detail the history
of the United States struggle
for freedom, the appeal con-
tinues: We ask the American
people to grant us through their
president and congress those
rights of belligerency to which,
according to laws of war and of
nations, we are entitled. Our
armies have marched whittier
they might throughout the en-
tire island, and for weeks have
threatened the stronghold of
Spain's power in Cuba. Must
we capture Havana and drive
Spain's hirelings across the sea,
before we are given the rights
as men to fight for that price
less gift which God had destin-
ed should be universally divid-
ed among his childrenl Must
we gain our independence be
fore we are accorded the sane
ton of the world to labor for
it, Is Spain entitled to consid-
Grafton at the hands of mod
ern, civilized and highly pro-
gressive nation? Does her mis-
rule of Cuba for a cintury com
mend her to the hearts and
minds Of men2 Are her hire
lings here to lift up and edu-
cate the Cuban and make his
beloved island prosperous
"Cuba, the bleeding, appeals
to her American sister. She
does it in the name of God,
Justice, and America"

Frankfort, KY, Feb. IL
There was every indication to-
day that both sides were lying
towards the senatorial race.
The republicans do not think
senator Ogilvie, who is quite
sick can stand the strain much
longer. His son said this morn
ing that he was not going to
allow his father to Jeopardize
his life much further and if
something does not happen in
the ballot this week he will
take his father home Sunday.
A call of the roll showed 122
members present and voting.
There were seven pairs. The
ballot resulted-Hunte 81,
Blackburn 56, Carlisle 2, Ben
net 1, J. NJ. Cockan 1, Bate 1,
Holt 1. Hunters friends declare
that if he can not be elected no

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

Special to THE HERALD.
London, Feb. 10.-The press
association this afternoon sent
ont a forecast of the Queens
speech which is to be read to-
morrow at the opening of Par
lament. 1t says peace prevails,
but does not announce any sen
sational change of policy. 1t
says the Transvaal matter was
a result of circumstances rather
than policy. 1t opens with say
ing that England is at peace
with ali the great powers of the
world. There is a guarded al
fusion to the Venezuelan ques-
ton, there being no specific an
nouncement in regard to arbi-
tration, but reference is made
to the prospects of a friendly
understanding with the United
States with regard to the Ven
ezuelan dispute. A suitable re-
ference is also made to the de-
plorable events in Armenia.
The hope is expressed that the
reforms will be carried out.

THE San Francisco Examiner
IS making strenuous efforts to
impress congress with the just
fee and Importance of forcing
the Central Pacific railroad dis
gorge every cent of the eighty
millions of dollars which it
owes the government. 1t is TO
be hoped that this may be done.
The money is justly due the
government--or, better, the
peopIe-and there is no reason
why it should not be paid. THE
HERALD does net endorse the
too general sentiment against
the "soulless corporation" but
1t is for the people, first, last,
and all the time, and cannot
wink at Mr.. Huntington's eff
forts to secure legislation
through which this debt may
be avoided.
