CINCINNATI, O., May IA. 1ssS.-The
Oddfellows Temple Company made an
assignment this morning in the Insolven-
ey Court. The assets are placed at $780,
900 and the liabilities 100000. The cause
given is the lack Of capital and failure to
sell the stock and bonds Of the company.
When the company was formed for the
purpose Of building a new home for the
|. . q Z lodges Of Cincinnati, it was
proposed that a magnificent store and
office building be erected, using the up
PEE floors for lodge rooms. The plan was
with capital of $500, 900. ss''' -

Growth OF the Churches.

Comparing the ratio of the increase of com
municants with that Of the population of the
country, We find that the advantage is with
the churches. The percentage Of increase in
population for the decade ending in 1850 was
2fSb. supposing it to be half of this for the
past hve years, we have a population of TO-
400 900, which is rnanifestly an exaggeratior
y IS hardly possible that. with the decreased
immigration Of the first three or four years Of
the present decade, the percentage Of increase
Of the previous decade has been maintained :
but. conceding that it has, and that the rate
Is Il 4s, we lind this is far below that of the
ehufches. Their growth since 1880 has been al
the rate aof 19 or 20 per cent This corresponds
to the rate Of increase which the leading de-
nominations reported for the decade ending IN
1890. The rate for that period was AZ per cent,
against the 24.S6 per cent. representing the net
inQrease Of the population. It is clear from
this that the churches are gaining on the popu-
lation rapidly and steadily. = May Forum

SPAIN RELIES ON EUROPE
81 Gable to the United Press.

MADRID, May H. 1Sa6-The ''Epoca,''
an official organ, reprints the comments
Of the European press, chiefly British and
French papers, which are favorable to
Spain in her differences with the United
States growing out of the situation in
Cuba. Alluding to these comments the
''Epoca" expresses hope that the moral
support of the European nations will
finally be converted from resolutions on
their part into actions. The barefaced, un-
just and defiant action of the United
States, the paper adds. is in opposition to
all international law and to European in
terests

Our Duty to Cuba.

This is world of comparat tive progress,
and freedom from Spain would be to
Cuba long step in advance on the high
road of advancing civilization. The in
terests of humanity are the controlling
reasons which demand the beneficent in
terposition of the United States to bring
to an end this savage war and give to
the island peace and independence. No
great nation can escape its RESPONSE
bilities. We freely charge England with
responsibility for the hideous atrocities
in Armenia. But it is the merest cant to
do this if we shirk our own duty We
have a responsibility with regard to Cuba
We cannot evade it and, if we seek to do
SO, sooner or later we shallpay, the pen
atty. But the American people, whose
sympathies are trongly with the Cubans
fighting for their liberties, will no longer
suffer this indifference toward to con-
tinue If one Administration declines to
meet our national responsibilities as they
should be met there will be put in
power another Administration which will
neither neglect nor shun it's plain duty
to the United States and to the cause of
freedom and humanity,-Senator H c.
Lodge, in the May Forum
