Mothers and Mothers-in-Law.

Is it not a fact that wife and her
mother have more privileges than the
husband and his mother2 In nine mar
riages out of ten the wife's mother lives
in the same house and enjoys all the
comforts of the family. Would the wife
care to have her husbands mother living
with them2 Not much.
Again: The wife goes shopping with
her mother, attends theatre, visits, etc.
in fact she enjoys the same liberty that
were hers before marriage. Suppose
the husband were to do all these things
We can imagine how the wife would Oh
ject. Yet what is fair for one ought Il
be fair for the other.
What is the why and wherefore of al
this anyhow?

GEN. ALeER's FORESIGHT.
How the Michigan Millionaire and Pol
tician Made His Fortune.


Gen. Russell A. Alger made his for
tune through the foresight which he
displayed in buying up timber lands In
Northern Michigan just after the war.
He had little capital and most of his
purchases were made with borrowed
money. The winters of 1867 and 1855
he spent in log camp in the woods
with his family, in order to get full
insight into the details of the lumber
business.
He first introduced railroads to go in
to the logging business and finally built
lumber railroad Of his own. He has
seen some of his pine lands double in
value in single week, and owned SC
much timber that he could make con-
tracts for $4,000, 900 feet of logs at a
time. He also owns timber land in Cal
ifornia.

RACE WAR OF THE
CUBAN INSURGENTS
Story Of the Killing Of Jose MaceO is
Confirmed.
1T WAS A COLD BLOODED MURDER
An Unfortunate Conflict in the Ranks
of the Insurgents Among Whites
and Blacks will Injure Their Cause.
Other News Of the War in Cuba.

Philadelphia, July 14.-Cablegrams
received here today from Cuba confirm
the story of the killing of Don Jose
Maceo. brother of General Antonio
Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader
From the cablegrams received the kill
ing of Maceo was nothing more or less
than cold blooded murder. 1t would
further appear that race war has
broken out in the insurgent ranks be-
eween the whites and the blacks and
that the shooting of Maceo Is the first
incident of this unfortunate conflict.
When the last cargo from the filibus-
tering steamer Bermuda was landed
Jose MaceO seized all the arms and am
munitions. Gar.a protested against
this corflscation. When the last cargo
from the steamer Three Friends was
landed on the coast near Jusagua, Ma
GEO marched to the starboard with $50
men and took possession of arms and
ammunition. AS he was returning from
the coast he was ambushed and shot to
death by men whom 1t was asserted
Were from his own army. The trouble
between the blacks and whites has been
further accentuated by the recent
shooting by General Gomez after a
court martial of Manuel Gonzales. pro-
vincial treasurer, his secretary and sew
eral subordinates for the shortage of
$4,000 or more in the cattle tax funds.
Gonzales and the other men shot by
Gomez were negroes.

Throughout the United States.

Washington, ID. c., July l4.-Ar ap-
peal for the observance Of a Bird Day"
in the schools throughout the country
has been made by the agricultural de-
partment. The object Is to devote the
day to be set apart once year or to
be combined with "Arbor day" to in
struction in the value of our native
birds and the means If protecting them
from wanton destruction. The idea or
isinated with Superintendent of the

cities, Oil City and Madison. Ia, and

Day" and indorser of Bird Day" move
ment wants to see the latter extended

San Francisco, July 14.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Carlos Ezeta.
ex-president of San Salvador in the
dining room of his hotel in this city.
The eX-president was seated at table
with few of his friends when Pedro
,Iiminez. a native of Salvador, entered
the room. The intruder walked quick
ly to EZetas' chair and as the latter
faced about Jiminez spat in his face.
The president sprang to his feet to re-
sent the insult, when Jin1nez drew re-
volver and levelled it at his breast. The
former dictator Of Salvador retained his
presence of mind and seizing a chair. he
held it over Jiminezs head and dared
him to fire.
In another moment the wOuld-be
assassin was disarmed by Ezetas
friends and hurried from the room.
Jiminez was arrested and stated he
was formally district attorney of Sal
vador under Ezetas' administration.
While acting in that capacity he in

the Peoples party, issued a manifesto
today, advising. all Populists to ratify

the Pooulists now have to decide Is
whether or not they will take Mr..
Bryan. whom every gold bug in the
country has denounced as a Populist,
for our next president of the United
States. or whether they viii take Mr..
Mckinley. who represents everything
that the Populists have denounced and
just the opposite of everything that
they have advocated since they have
been a party"

Washington. July l4.-Hon. Charles

treasury, when asked today if he had
anything to say as to the recent Chi
cago convention, replied: "Nc politi
cal issue is involved in the coming cleo
ton. The question to be decided is far
deeper and more vital The perpetuity
of Republican institutions has been
threatened. Every loyal citizen should
ally himself against the forces which
controlled the Chicago convention. forces
of lawlessness which are Inconsistent
with the maintenance of the republic.
"Henceforth there should be no Re-
publican, no Democrat, but a union of
loyal citizens against the combined
forces of repudiation and disorder,
When once this dangerous element has
been stamped out at the polls by the
intelligent people, we can again divide
and discuss those political questions
which for generations have kept alive
the two great political parties"

ing. Attorney M. c. Loranger, OF Bay
City, delivered the address and the meet
ing was under the auspices OF the Nc
Kinley and Hobart club. The speaker
did not have any remarkable oratorical
powers, but he presented some good
sound arguments as to why voters should
elect Mckinley and have protection and
sound money. He spoke as plain bus
mess man and made good plea for the
republican course. Alter his address In
English he spoke to the French Canadians
in their language and the large number
OF those present appeared to enjoy the
talk immensely.
There was plenty OF enthusiasm and
the speaker was very frequently APP
plauded.
