A Sentiment,

mo place like home" That hnllowed spot
Where sorrows fade away,
Where gentle deeds are Huforgot
And cherished hopes ne'er stray.
Where shadows, drifting ntfully,
Sport with the firelight's sleam.
It's there there we find reality;
The diy was but dream.
And when applause that pealed Of yore
And echoed in the dome
Is hushed, we turn with peace once more
And say, mo place like home"
mo place like home" And yet, 'mOngst
men,
1t will ever be so;
They only realize it when
There's no place else to 20,

spots. These spots sppear aou the

rected to the fact that by thelcathode
rays these spots, absolutely invisible
in the rabbit, had been brought out.
The rabbit was at.Qnce dissected and
to the surprise Of the experimenter,
several small shot were found in the
carcass. Prof. Wright had received
the rabbit, not knowing how it had
been killed, and without the slightest
intimatiOn as to the presence of the
shot The result Of this experiment
indicates that by cathode rays for.
eign substances in the human body
can be detected when their presence
cannot be discovered any other way.
This is the time OF year that tries
the faith Of the business man. The
| rush OF the holidays is over and the
spring trade is feature of the future.
The business man never gets credit
for half the difficulties he has to en-
counter. Some people think that
almost anyone can run store. Let
them try it. Here is competition to
meet, large rent to pay, accounts to
collect, what to purchase and ia
what quantities. Takingit all around
there is NJ man in the community
that does more work for the money
than the average business man. Let
Wellington people take hold and pat
ronize our own merchants only.

The speech Of Hon. David Turpie
in the senate Tuesday upon the
proper course in dealing with the
bloody, fanatical and lecherous Turk
ish Sultan will meet with an enthusi-
astic response all over the union
wherever it is read. "The message
he said, Should be followed by shot
which should go crashing through the
grand Seraglio," and echo through the
mosques and minarets. The Armen.
ians were only guilty Of being Chris
tians. The power Of Turkey to
proselyte by the sword should be
ended. The senator urged another
crusade. Good President Jefferson
sent American sailors who whipped
the Barbary pirates for smaller crimes
than those of this Sultan. Senator
Turpie is a christian, a scholar, an
American and last but not least a
HOOSier of whom Indianians should be
DrOud.

proposed measure that object could be secured there would be no substantial disagreement in the party. Every national democratic platform that has heretofore spoken upon the subject has declared for both gold and silver money. It is our traditional policy. But the main- tenance of Q double standard at the present time is not 8 question of desire-it is a Ques- tion of ability. The commercial value of sil- yer has greatly declined in the markets of the world
 At the present moment Germany, France, Italy. Austria, Holland, Belgium and the United States wish to cooperate for the es- tablishment ana maintenance of the joint standard by international agreement and (most important circHmstance) Great Britain has re- gently (within three months. in facD made Q most important confession She said: We will do for you as much as you can do for your selves We will make this great contribution to blmetallic system. We will go back upon deliberately arranged methods Of providing a currency for India. We will open the India hints. We will engage that they shall be kept open and we shall therefore provide for a free coinage Of silver within the limits of the British empire. for population greater in number than the population of Germany, France and America put together"
 Personally, 1t is my opinion, if the demo- cratic party goes on that platform at this tme they will meet the most disastrous defeat that any party has ever had in this country l understand 1t is honestly believed in and people think 1t will bring relief from their present troubles: but between now and elec- ton day it will be pretty thoroughly sifted and the people of the country will not face the disturbance of values, the loss of confidence, the general distress and ruin which would come to their business interests in such change in their standard of value as would arise from such change. It will overwhelm the persons who undertake it

A Terrible State of Affairs Existing in
 the Country.
 LONDON, June 22.-A letter from an Englishman, who has long been a resi- dent of Italy, gives a serious picture of the situation in that country. He says that revolution is only question of time; that the taxes are 60 per cent on all incomes, and that the starving state of the peasantry and the lower classes generally equals that of the French before the great revo- lution. In Sardinia, the writer says, mothers are feeding their children on grass and weeds by the roadside, and in all parts there are deaths from starvation. The women straw workers of Tuscany are in open revolt. and everywhere men and women are reduced to skeletons and are to be seen carrying their last rags to be sold for taxes In Lombardy and other northern districts, where the people live on insufficient Indian corn, the writer says, the disease pellagra is in- creasing, and more than 100, 900 per sons are affected, of which about 5000 die yearly. Many of the victims die insane

Few of the agents know one another This is regarded as great advantage An agent would be in the compa nv of nine other agents and not one in the group of ten would know that he was in the presence of fellow.officers Their superiors confer with them in secret aud they never meet at one place. It is an everyday occurrence for an agent to turn in report accus. ing another agent of suspicious con-. duct The latter is simply following up some case and the other. not know. ing him to be a secret officer. makes his report.

WILLIAM C. WHITNEY made public a statement at New York on the 2lst in which he defines the political situa tion and said that he was not presidential possibility, that he would not run if nominated and would not serve if elected" He also went largely into the silver movement and said it was inopportune and would cause defeat for the democratic party if persisted in.
 THE Montana democratic state con- vention met at Butte on the 20th and declared for free silver. An attempt to instruct for Bland failed.
 BESSIE PUCKETT, the nine-year-old daughter of a farmer near Hartselle, Ala, was kidnaped by Leon Orr, a negro, and taken to the woods and as. saulted and she will die. The negro was captured and placed in jail, but a mob broke into the building, strapped the negro to horse and took him to the scene of his crime, where they hanged him and riddled his body with bullets
 As the result of a series of confer ences between the seeding silver men of the recent repu ublican national con- vention and prominent populists an address has been issued from the head quarters of the peoples party national committee in St. Louis, advising pop- ulists throughout the country to make Henry NJ.

DEEPLY iNcENsED.

President Sellers and congressman Linton DissatIsfied with the Republican Plat. form.
 ST. LOUIS, June 22.-E. II. Sellers, of Michigan, president of the A. P. A. na. tional council, and Congressman w. S. Linton, of Michigan, are deeply in. censed at the refusal of the resolutions committee of the republican national convention to incorporate the declara- tion demanded by the order in the platform thus declared for absolute freedom of all public schools from sectarian influence and civil inspec- tion of all private educational in- stitutions, for the absolute separation of church and state, for no more sec. tarian appropriations, for stringent immigration laws, for restriction of suffrage to citizens only, for owner. ship of lands to actual American citi. zens and against alien ownership, for prohibition of contract convict labor, for a national system of education and for the taxation of all but public prop. erty.
 Sellers declares that the convention WdS ldTScly luucT tDc ihuucuCC pl Roman Catholics and its refusal to in- corporate the declaration in the plat form will cost the republicans at least 1000, 900 votes. He charges the com. mittee on resolutions with cowardice, corruption and dishonesty, and went on: ''The election of Kerens, pro- nounced Catholic, and a political ad- wiser of Satolli, as a member of the na- tional republican committee was a di. rect insult, and designed as such, to all patriotic societies"
 Asked if the A. r. A. would put up a ticket in Missouri. Sellers said that that would be left entirely with the state organization, but he thought there would be an American ticket in nearly every state in the union.
 Sellers said that he would present the same declaration to the democratic and populist national conventions and if both reject it the A. P. As would undoubtedly put a national ticket in the field

 dorsement of Senator Teller.
 ST. LOUIS, June 2l.-As the result of series of conferences between committees appointed by the seeding silver men of the recent repu blican na- tional convention and n committee composed of prominent populists, an address was issued Saturday from the headquarters of the peoples party na- tional committee in this city, advising populists throughout the country to make Henry NJ. Teller, of Colorado, their national standard-bearer. The address says in part, after noticing the "boss in politics."
 One man. the perfection Of his tyne, repre- senting the millionaires, the banks. the cor porationS, the trusts, and every other remorse- less and plutocratic element in our country 8 life, has, through the power of money, dc- tated the nomination of Mckinley and shaped the platform of his IArty.
 In view of the shameless submission by tho republican convention to the most extreme de- mands ever made upon Americans by the money power, every thought and effort of American manhood should, from this hour, tend toward creation and cementing a union between those who would resist the cons piracy of wholesale robbery and grinding oppres- sion.
 The address then goes on to tell of Senator Teller's merits and says he is ''one upon whom all populists may con- sistently unite"
 The manifesto is signed by H. F.. Taubeneck, of Illinois; K. E. Sankey, of Kansas: F. D. Eager and J. A. Edger. ton, of Nebraska; C. K. Reifsnider, w. J. Quick and Frank E. Ritchey, of Mis- souri: S. J. Wright, of Texas, and oth-

AFFAIRS IN CUBA,

Consul-Genernl Lee Makes a Report Which
 May Result in Armed Intervention by the
 United States.
 HAVANA, June 2.-Consul- General Lee has forwarded to President Cleye. land dispatch containing full re. ports upon the Cuban situation here. It is said that the report is of great importance to the United States and to Spain. So strong is it, in fact, that its contents may, it is hinted, be made the basis of armed intervention in Cuban affairs on the part of the ad. ministration at Washington. Consul. General Lee takes the ground, it is said, that the only possible solution of the problem existing in the island is autonomy on Canadian lines. While the Spanish flag flies in the island, he holds, no other remedy can be found to stay the rebellion or end the blood. shed and devastation.

The Now York Politician Addresses His
 Party on tho Money Question.
 NEW YORK, June 22.-William C. Whitney yesterday made public state ment in which he defines the political situation, and concludes by saying that he is not presidential possibility. that he "would not run if nominated and would not serve if elected" As to the silver idea, he says:
 For the past 15 years leaders of public opin- ion in the south and west have been advocat- ing as the great remedy for existing ills the free coinage of silver at sixteen to one, with or without the cooperation of other nations. A large majority of the delegates to the com ing democratic convention have been elected by the people for the purpose of incorporating that doctrine into the platform of the demo- cratic party.
 This movement for free coinage purports to to have for it's object the establishment and maintenance of gold and silver as the money Of the country upon equal terms with each other, and at parity of purchasing power. If by the
