U HOME RULE.

Dispatches that the
Spanish Government is about to pro-
mitigate a new policy for Cuba; that
it is a scheme to introduce reforms
which will practically give Cuba
home rule" 1t will be interesting to
glance at some of these propositions.
There is to be ii council Of thirty, tif-
teen of whom are to be named by the
Crown, and fifteen chosen by the peo-
pie. The Governor-G-n-ral is to be
President Of the council and appoint
the Secretaries and the Vice-Presi-
dents. Ample powers for administra-
ton OF affairs are conferred upon this
council, but without prejudice to the
supervisory powers Of the Grown. 1t
may make up the annual budget, but
it has not the power TO vote it.
The Governor-General, represent
ing the National Government, Is to
have absolute control Of the army and
navy, and be President Of the Board
of Ministers Of the colony, and all
authorities Of the island are t be
subordinate to him And this is what
the Spaniards call granting home
rule, ULlt IS the Cubans are down
right fools and incompetents they will
spnrn such pretehse Of reform. In
deed we are strongly inclined to think
thai the Spanish GOVERNMENT makes
the offers quoted above - a practical
joke that they are put forward to aG-
grivate and ~irritate and they will
have just NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bee.

THE SECRET OF LOOKING YOUNG.

We learn from a contemporary that Madame
Sarah Bernhardt attributes the secret Of her
youthful appearance to the fact that she is
always at work. 81 must work, | am never
idle; l love travel, change of scene, incessant
occupation, and the result is. | am young"
she says. We certainly find that those al ouud
us who get through the most work in life are
the most youthful looking, perhaps the reason
is that constant occupation for the mind aud
body brings happiness with it, and it is essen
tial to feel bright and happy if we wish to
keep fresh and young. The happy woman,
without doubt, is she who always has some.

she is not afraid to DO it; she is always plea

happy themselves that have the power to COM

no need to work for her living, she will be all
The better if she has a hobby, of course a sem
sible one, the mere pursuit of it will give her
occupation and interest in something outside

articles, and will gain much instruction az

Ny conclusion is that I will live to see that

There has never been such a determined,
deliberate and persistent effort to reach the
Pole as now, and the present methods Will,
in my Judgment bring success. LOOK at the

by way of Franz Josef Land aud archipelago,
which extends northward no one knows how

Boy Mu,derers.

: Cornish, Me-, Oct. a. On October
8 Mrs. Betsy F. Hobbs was found dead.
She lived alone about one and half
miles from Effingham, N. 81. When
found the house was burning, and her
body was half cremated. The mystery
was cleared yesterday by the confession
of Charles Savage. He accuses Frank
j. Palmer of the murder. A co1oner's
jury has brought in verdict against
Palmer of murder in the first degree.
Savage was held as witness. Palmer
is 16 years old, and lives at West Par
sonfield. Savage is 90 years of sge.
At the inquest Savage unfiinohingly
withstood half an hour scross-examlna-
tion. but at last the coroner discovered
weakness, and he persistently ques
toned him till he finally succumbed
and related tale duplicating himself
and Frank Palmer in the murder and
attempted cremation of Mrs. Hobbs.
He and Palmer, he said, had been
drinking together the day before the
tragedy. Monday morning Savage
took his shotgun to go shooting. They
called at Mrs. Hobbs. Savage left
Palmer in the house while he went to
the woodshed on an errand. While
there he heard the report of gun and
soon after found Mrs Hobbs bleeding
upon the doorstep. Palmer soon ap-
peared, and with an oath declared that
now he had squared the grudge he
owed her for pulling s. out of him in
payment for the glass he broke in her
house three years sgo. Palmer asked
Savage to help him carry the body in
the house. He says he was 80 fright
ened he did not realize what he was do
ing, but they got the body into the
houee. Savage then took to the woods,
being shortly overtaken by Palmer. who
declared that nobody would ever know
what had happened, for he had set fire
to the house.

Battle-Ship Oregon Left San Francisco
for Short Cruise.
San Francisco, Oct. 27.-The battle
ship Oregon steamed out to sea today
for the first time since her famous
trial trip. Nothing could be learned
positively of her destination, but it is
common gossip that the prime object of
the trip is to test her batteries, from
the big guns down to the smallest, and
to try her in all the theoretical maneu-
vers that could be anticipated in reg
ular engagement.
1t is also stated that the Oregon, be-
fore returning to this port, will visit
the Columbia river, in order that the
Oregonians may inspect her and be
given an opportunity to present her
with the silver service about which so
much has been said and written. The
departure Of the big battleship did not
attract much attention, as during the
past few weeks she has steamed about
the bay many times.

Six Prisoners Make Their Escape i'm
Louisville.
Louisville, Oct. 27.-Another daring
Jail delivery was perpetrated tonight
at the county Jail shortly after $50
o'clock, and six desperate prisoners
made their escape. The delivery was
supposed to be a wholesale one, in
which every prisoner on the third floor
of the old Jail was to get out, but the
wathcfulness of the turnkeys prevented
this, and only six men escaped.
The prisoners gained their liberty by
scraping the mortar from the bricks in
cell No. 8, letting the bricks fall into
the interior of the cell, and in this
mannr got hole large enough for them
to climb through. One at a time they
made their way out of the hole and
climbed on the roof. Then, by means
of short rope, they let themselves
down into narrow alley between the
wall of the Jail yard and an abutment
of the new Jail and escaped. None of
the escaped prisoners have been cap.
tured. This is the second delivery in
Louisville within the last year, seven
prisoners making their escape on last
Christmas day.

Cargo Took Fire at Sea.

steamer Worsley Hall put into this port
this morning with her cargo on fire.
She left New Orleans for Havre, Octo-
ber 16. On October 80, 550 miles east
by south Of Sandy Hook, during a
southerly gale, smoke was found issu-
ing from the ventilators under the
bridge. An examination showed that
the cotton slowed forward in the hold,
which constituted the major portion OF
the cargo, was on fire. The ship was
put before the wind to lessen the
draught and the hatch lifted. The
smoke was almost empowering, but
the sailors managed to hoist out twenty
bales of cotton and pile them up on the
deck. The ship was rolling with
heavy cross sea. Soon a huge wave
broke over the steamer and washed
the bales overheard.

house. On each occasion of this sort

Mr.. Cleveland spoke for half an
hour, and when he concluded, the ex-
hibition Of enthusiasm was remarkable.
Cheer upon cheer was given with
hearty good will, and as wind-up the
college yell was given for Mrs Cleve-
land. She occupied a chair in the
front row Of the seats facing the benches
on which the university delegates sat,
and the unexpected attention of the
students caused all eyes to turn in her
direction. All present Joined in the
applause, and as Mr.. Cleveland caught
his wife's eye he gave her an approx
ing smile, receiving one from her in
return.
The great three days celebration
closed tonight with a banquet in the
assembly hall given to the university
delegates. There were present more
than 300 persons. Probably never in
the history of the country has such a
gathering of renowned men been
seated around the same board. 1t was
an International assemblage, and in
cluded the most eminent educators of
both sides of the Atlantic.

passengers who arrived from Havana
last night confirm advioes recesiyed by
mail that Maceo has crossed tie Irocha
at Artemisa and Joined other insurgent
forces in Havana province. They de-
clared that the report circulated by
Maceo of his encampment at Cacara-
jacara and a contemplated attack on
that town was merely a feint of the
rebel leader to concentrate the Spanish
troops at that point. That the ruse
was successful is proved by the fact
that General Gonzales Muniz, with
large forces, was sent in that direction
to attack Maceo, but upon their arrival
at Cararajacara the Spaniards found
nothing but deserted camp.

that he had not long to live, and never

spells Of illness in Washington. He
suffered from asthma and later from
heart trouble. His i'll health, how
ever, did not become matter of public
notoriety until the past spring, when
he was compelled to abandon series
of JOINT debates arranged with ex-Sec-

in the sanitarium for five weeks, suffer-
ing from malarial fever. The immedi.
