Cuba! It is a name that now is IA
miliar to every household in all the civ
ilized earth. The suffering of it's people,
the dying groans of it's tortured patriots,
have formed the minor key of sorrow in
the worlds grand song Of progress. And
yet, in spite of the fact that it has long
held the interest and sympathy Of fair
minded people, no land is so little known
and SO greatly underestimated. The
traveller who glimpses for the first time
her marvellous shores is overcome with
astonishment at the panorama Of i'm
mense possibility that lies shimmering
before him, for even now, her richest
vestments shredded, her body bleeding
under the violent hands Of all unnatural
parent, Cuba remains the indestructible
Pearl Of the Antilles. with such wealth
in her soil and under it as no earthly
power can take away.
AS everybody knows, the development
Of Cuba had been from it's earliest oc-
cupancy retarded and at times practi-
cally stopped by the rule Of Spain. Soon
after the foot of Columbus touched her
virgin soil the dark cloud G oppression
began to hover over her, and it was only
by the sheer force of her innate worth,
coupled with the necessities of her in
habitants, that her glorious products be-
came, even to limited extent, avail
able.
When in 1911 Columbus sent his son
Diego, with q number of colonists, to
Cuba, the big island was speedily set
tied, and measurements of it's proper
tions were made by a party of official
agramensores (surveyors), and these
measurements were of such accuracy
that they remain as standards today.
The length of the island was found to
be in round numbers 600 miles; it's
width at it's narrowest point, 81 miles,
and at it's widest point, Ill miles. This
gives to the long, shark shaped island an
area of approximately $4,000 square
miles, or nearly the size Of the state of
Pennsylvania.
In view of the necessity of the extern
sive exploration which was incident to
this comprehensive survey, it seems
passing strange that no more Of Cuba's
richness was discovered and utilized for
the development Of the strength and
value Of the new colony. This derelic-
tion, however, was probably not the
fault Of the really vigorous and pro-
gressive adherents Of the son of the
great discoverer. Indeed, from careful
study Of history. though exact dates are
not to be obtained, it would seem that
it was soon after it's colonization that
the greed of the mother country began

Cuba's Great Grievance.
The grievance Of Cuba, which has
lasted all these years. dates from this
early period. It was, in it's nature and
operation, the parallel Of the one which
brought about the bloody but glorious
birth of our own independence-that is
to say, taxation without representation.
But there was vast difference in the
situation Of the Cubans. While our Rev
olutionist fathers were vastly inferior
to the enemy in point Of numbers, their
proportion to the whole number Of fight
ing Englishmen who could be landed on
our shores was not Of such smallness as
to preclude all hope, whereas the mere
handful Of Cubans were so overwhelm-
ingly overmatched by the armed force
that Spain could muster as to be prac-
tically in her power after the first dem
onstration.
And SO there have been insurrection
after insurrection and defeat after de-
feat, and the consequent horrible BUTCH
cries Of retribution, until Cuba, the
beautiful, the rich, the wonderful, has
been little more than a bloody abattoir
wherein the lives and hopes Of weak
but marvelously courageous people have
been periodically sacrificed.
But the immortal longing for liberty
could not be crushed out of the breast of
the sons Of these patriots, and they, in
turn, have made the same struggle. But
the results Of these heroic efforts became

A chair Of psyoho- therapeutics, or hyp-
notism, ID an innovation, in the curfiou-
lum of the Illinois Medical college, at Chi
cago. The official recognition Of hypno-
tism in medical colleges Is common enough
abroad, but Is new to this country. Or.
Herbert A. Parkyn, recently Of Minpeapo-
lis, fills the new chair. DIR. Parkyn claims
to have hypnotised moro persons than any
physician in the country. He estimates
the number of patients whom he has treat
ed by hypnotism within the last two years
at 1900.
DIR. Parkyn Is . native Of Toronto and
received q medical education at Queens
university, Kingston, Ont. He afterward
did postgraduate work at the McEill Med.
ical college, Montreal, and also at tho To-
rOntO university. Early in his course he
became intensely interested in and made .
special study Of the psychology of atten-
ton and strove to develop his knowledge
of the science Of hypnotism throughout his
entire course. DIR. Parkyn determined to
make speciality of psyche therapeutics and
at the close Of his college course practiced
for several years in his native city Of To-
ronto. In 1894 he went to Minneapolis,
where he became connected with the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
DIR. Parkyn entertains very pronounced
opinions on the relations between hypno-
tism and crime: "That point has been
abused most shamefully. 1t has been
handled by ignorance, misrepresentation
and narrow mindedness. There is no
closer relation between hypnotism and
crime than there is between tho waking
state and crime. In fact, the relation ID
exactly the same. A mans true moral
nature can never be hypnotized. Natural
criminals might be melted to crime while
hypnotized, but they could also be induced
to commit the Same act while in the wax
Ing state. A practical criminal sugges-
tion given to pure minded subject will
cause his moral nature to so revolt Mt the
critical time that he will be thrown out of

No one has touched the secret of mu-

and rules. Man did not make the laws
of music. He has only found them out,
and if he be self willed and break them

Of the everlasting life of God which per-
feet spirits live in heaven-a life of
melody and order in themselves; life
in harmony with each other and with
God. . This goes down to the bottom Of
the subject. Music is that obedience to
law which secures order, harmony, one
ness, and sympathy, the realization of
which is heaven. Kingsley does not here
speak as a preacher SO much as stu
dent Of natural science.
The point at which the harmonies Of
the external world touch the correspond

a mystery. It is a part Of the great cues

seriousness. We only know that harmo-
MES of sound touch the mind and sug-

that all these masters of thought whom
I am quoting do not hesitate to name
the result as heaven, by which they do
not mean any place, nor any fulfllment
OF earthly expectation. nor any here nor
there, but moral condition which is

How the Sugar Trust Brought Its Owners
to Terms.
Because the sugar trust refused to
purchase, excepting at its own terms,
cargo of sugar shipped to this country
on the British steamship Falkland,
from Java, she has been compelled to
remain at anchor off the Delaware
breakwater since September l. The
sale was finally contaminated at sac
rifce, however. Demurrage for the
vessels delay was counted up at the
rate of three hundred dollars per dav
against the owners of the cargo and
the Falkland was ordered to proceed to
Philadelphia, and reached the Franklin
sugar refinery wharves the other day
Her cargo was then purchased by the
trust at rate considerably less than
was offered on the day that she first
arrived at the capes for orders. The
cargo is large one, consisting of
twelve thousand four hundred and
eighty-three bags of last seasons crop.
1t was loaded at Tagal, Sourabaya and
other points Ia the Dutch East Indies.

NEW GOVERNMENT BUSINESS

Secretary Carlisle to Ask Congress for
Money to Establish Ore Reducing Works.
Secretary Carlisle has rejected all the
proposals offered for assaying and
sampling ores on the northern and
southern borders of the United States
for the purpose Of ascertaining the guam
tity of lead contained therein. Pro
posals were submitted only for Paso Del
Norte, Tex, though asked for the en-
tire border section. Secretary Carlisle
in rejecting all proposals takes the po-
sition that it is impossible to carry out
the intent of congress when bids for
doing only part of the work are sub
mitted and he is of opinion that the
work can be done more efficiently and
cheaper by the government. He viii,
therefore, report the matter to congress
next winter and ask for an apprU-
pration sufficient to establish proper
ore reducing works at the principal ore
importing ports along the Mexican and
Canadian borders.
