The Conventions of the Woman's Relief
Corps Elect Officers.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 5.-The con-
ventions of the Woman's Relief corps
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent. Miss Agnes Hit, Of Indianapolis;
senior vice-president. Miss Marie Hazen
Winkel, of st. Paul, treasurer, Mrs
Isabelle Bagley, of GAINESVILLE, o.;
junior vice-president, Mrs. Amelia j.
Colgan, of Virginia.
The recommendation in the presi.
dents report that AndersonviIle prison
site be purchased by the corps and
kept permanently in condition as a war
exhibit was adopted. A committee
was appointed to attend to the mat
ter, and every member of the corps
was asked to contribute five cents to-
ward the purchase and maintenance
fund. Over $500 was subscribed to
the fund by the delegates present.
Mrs. John A. Logan addressed the
delegates advocating consolidation OF
utilization with the Ladies of the G. A.
R., but her ideas did not fall on sym.
pathetic ears. The rival organiza-
tions are Numerically opposed to
each other by virtue of their organic
laws and the members are equally de-
ternined to have nothing todo with
each other officially.
The only terms which the relief
corps will consider are based on the
absorption of their new rival, and in
consequence of their strained relations
the Grand Army veterans were not in
happy frame of mind when they
started for home.
The ladies of the G. A. E. finished
the election of officers yesterday az
follows: Treasurer, Mrs. Flora George.
Washington; chaplain, Mrs. Thank
full, Massachusetts; national counselor,
Mrs Laura McNair, New Jersey.

the breath had left her body.
The team with the wagon, which was
loaded with peaches kept on in mad
gallop, defying all of Barto1d's efforts
to check them. They finally collided
with a tree and were held there. Bar

bruised and mangled in terrible man

BRITISH CUBAN COMMENT


The London Financial News says:
"Consul-General Gollan of Havana
gives pitiable picture of the mischief
wrought in Cuba by the rebels. Great
areas of sugar cane have been burned
and the planters are afraid to grind
what has survived owing 10 threats
that if they do their factories and ma
chinery will be blown up. In place of
an estimated production of 100000
tons of sugar only 100000 tons are
now expected to be produced in the
season of 1896. The 1s94-05 crop
was saved, and amounted TO 1904 ,26i
tons, against l,O54,2l4 tons for the sea
son before, The tobacco trade was
also good last year, nearly 24,5O0,OO0
more cigars being exported than in
lo94; but the crop this year Is be-
lieyed to have suffered great damage
at the hands of the rebels. The par

that the publishers believe the

reviews the history of bicycles
20 the extent of comparing the
