A Cuban Horror.

HAVANA, March 3l.-Never in
modern times has there been a more
sickening sight than that which to day
attended the public execution of five
Cubans, condemned to death by the
garotte rs "murderers, violators and
mcendiaries." The troops were
drawn up i'll hollow square and i'll
the middle were placed chair and
post. Ruiz, the Public Executioner,
had deputized an assistant to conduct
the affair. The condemned men
were brought into the square to meet
their fate. One had confessed his
guilt and affirmed the innocence of all
the Others. who also protested that
they were guiltless. The first man
took seat in the chair, the collar was
fixed about his neck and the cap was
drawn over his face. The execution.
er undertook to apply the screw but
was SO excited that his hand slipped
repeatedly, and the victim died by
slow strangulation, emitting the most
distressing cries. The second execu-
ton was accomplished with even
more distressing awkwardness, the
exccutioner being almost on the verge
of collapse. The protests OF officers
and priests forced Ruiz to undertake
the third execution, but he did little
better than his assistant. Then he
fled from his post leaving the assist.
ants to put to death the fifth unfor-
tunate Cuban, who suffered the same
agonies as his fellow men.

To Young Men.

An exchange volunteers the follow
ing good advice: Young man, there
is one thing you cannot do. You can
not make success in life unless You
work. Older men than you have tried
and failed. You cannot loaf around
street corners, smoke, tell stories,
drink and sponge off someone else
without making failure of life. You
must learn trade or get in some
honest business. II you don't you
will become a chronic loafer. The
ripe fruit is at the top Of the tree, and
you must climb il you get it. Some
smart man will pluck it from you
Do something, no matter how smal. {
or low the wages; it will be starter.
Help yourself and others will you.
There is no royal gate to success; will
grit and endurance are the qualities
which lead to it.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A Successful Woman Inventor.

The remarkable progress now being
made by the New Woman is graph
cany illustrated in the recent success
of Mrs. Lotto Cox, of Blue Springs,
Nebraska, who has just been awarded
a prize Of $3.50 for the best and simp-
lest invention submitted to the pat
ent firm of John Wedderburn & Co,
of Washington, DC.
Mrs. Cox is the first woman who
has been successful in these monthly
competitions which have now been in
progress for the past year. The sue
cessful lady is forty years Of age and
styles herself "self-made woman"
She was left a widow at twenty, with
two small children and thrown entire
ly on her own resources. While en-.
gagged IN daily labor to support her
self and children, she experimental
with various ideas and finally evolved
work table, supplied with numerous
conveniences much appreciated by
women. Although somewhat stinted
as to means, she bravely undertook to
patent her invention and having sub.
mitted it to Messrs Wedderburn &
Co., in connection with their patent
awards, received the prize of $3.50 in
the February contest.
Mrs. Cox declares she is much en-
couraged ut her success and hopes to-
follow it with the completion of other
inventions now under way. This
would seem to be most edifying ex-
ample for the emulation of her sisters
who are now absorbed in the en-
deavor to initiate men in far less prof
liable ENTERPRISES.
