st. Louis, Mo-, June 15-Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster, president of the Women's Re
publican association, with party of Re-
publican ladies, is at the Lindell. They
are asking for a continued recognition OF
women's work for the Republican party.
Mrs. Foster said: 1.-THE industrial dis
tresses of the last few years have taught
women the benefit Of projection. 1t has
been a bitter lesson but an effective one.
These women will support the Republic

of Illinois and Of those states where
women vote have rendered valuable as

Republican party has endorsed the pend
ing constitutional amendments to remove
political disabilities. The party will gain
much by this progressive action. While
all the members of the association are
not suffra gists we are all agreed that
the best interests OF the home, of ed
ucatiOn and of wOmen's industries are
conserved by Republican legislation and

HAVANA WITHOUT WATER.
insurgents Blow Up the Acc ue-
duct with Dramatically
May be Invested.

Havana, June 15.-This city was
startled and alarmed Saturday night at
8 o'clock by the noise of two successive
explosions which shook the ground for
a long distance and was heard for sew
eral miles. Excited throngs rushed into
the streets, while an armed party pro-
eeeded in the direction from which the
detonations had been heard. 1t was soon
found that the stone bridges of Chris
tiana and Concha and the aQueduct of
Fernando Septimo were the points that
had suffered from the dynamite. The
bridges were partially destroyed and the
pipes on the aQueduct upon which the
city is dependent for its water supply,
were much damaged. 1t cannot yet be
stated how extensive is the damage done
or how long it Will require TO remedy it.
There is no doubt that the dynamite
which caused the wreck was placed by
agents of the insurgents. 1t has been
their determination, announced some
time ago, to cut off the water supply Of
Havana, and so severe to make it as
nearly uninhabitable as possible.
1t is the announced intention of the
authorities to continue the campaign
against the insurgents in spite of the I'M
healthy rainy season having set in. and
additional troops are in the field in Pinar
del Rio with the purpose of running
down and surrounding Antonio Maceo.
1t was evident, however, that the in
surgents themselves are preparing to en-
ter upon a more aggressive plan of ac-
zion, and the gathering of insurgents
in Puerto Principe and Santa Clara is
believed to be prelude to another raid
westward in force by Maxine Gomez
The presence of this combined insurgent
force in the neighborhood and even in
the outskirts of Havana in the next
month is condition that must probably
be counted on.
Madrid, June ia council of Span
ish generals in Cuba has decided to sus-
pend operations against the insurgents
owing to the rains.

than twenty cats in the show whose
owners value them at between $1,000
and $500.
One of the most noted cats Is Grover

and is chiefly remarkable on that &C
count. Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox will

about thirty-two years ago, where his
mother and father were temporarily

in Wall street and so was Hetty. She
was invariably on the right side Of the

Eventually he lost every dollar he had
in the world, while in comparatively
few years the fortune of his wife
doubled.
No vast sum of money was spent in

100000; in the decade from 1850 to 1860
it was $1,333 100000, from which point
it gradually decreased. In the decade
from 1880 to 1890 it was about 81 ,O0O,-
100000. It is estimated that for the
decade from 1899 to 1900 the product of
the yellow metal may reach $4,000, ,000,-
600, and that it is likely to 60 on in
creasing with considerable rspidity for
many decades to come.
On the other hand, the production of
silver has shown only slight increase.
Since 1891 it has decreased in the
United States from $82,0O0,O00 to 1884,
100000 annually, but developments in
Mexico and South America has brought
up the average to about that of the
preceding decade. As the great min
ing energy is now directed to the pro-
duction OF gold, it would seem as II the
relative quantity of gold is destined to
a large increase during the life of the
next generation, and it may easily
come about that the old ratio of 15l

to hear o: her sons political progress,
but that which gave her the most joy
was the positive Information that her
son Eide would be the next Republic
can candidate for governor of Texas.
He may not win, the Hon. Harriet &C
knowledges, but she knows he will
make Il stiff fight. He is boy af er
her own heart and she says the ambi-
ton of her life is to accumulate
money enough to make him the richest
man on earth when he dies. This she
gave some time ago as the reason OF
her perpetual chase after more dol
lars.
Young Green's full name is Edward
Howland Robinson Green. His pater-
nal grandfather was named Edward
Robinson, and his paternal grand
mother was a Miss Rowland. Hetty
Green, when she atfiXes her signature
to any document, writes Harriet How
land Robinson Green. Her daughter
is Miss Sylvia Howland Green. Hetty
says she regrets that she did not have
the name Robinson tackled in some
where, for she is very proud of her
family. Her father left her 100000
when he died, and she asserts that he
WAS the kindest, incest, cleverest and
best man that ever lived.
She does not throw many bouquets
at her husband, Edward II. Green. She
does not see him very often, sometimes
not once month. He lives at quiet
New York hotel, while Hetty lives in
various places. Whenever the tax col
lector discovers her she makes a
change. Her daughter sometimes lives
with her mother, again with her father,
but most of the time with friends.
Thus the family is widely separated.

A limited Dem 1ocracy

The character of the democracy
which Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima represents is shown by his asser-
tion that if the national convention re-
fuses to recognize silver the South
Carolina delegation will withdraw and
act with the independent silver party,
which proposes to put up candidate
of its own. If Tillman stands by this
declaration, neither he nor the delegs-
tion which he says he will control have
any right to seat in a Democratic
convention. Delegates to national
convention are in honor bound to ac-
cept the action of the convention rs
final and to support its nominees. The
majority rules, and if this we're not
the case, it would be absurd to hold a
convention. The Richmond. Va, Times
says that the desertion OF Yillman
ought to be welcomed by the Demo-
cratic party, "which should jump
eagerly at Tillman's bait, and seize the
opportunity to rid the party of all
such burdens" But the principal con-
sideration is to keep such men out Of
the convention, if possible.-Bsltimore

to taking the newspaper which his
mother had purchased early in the
morning and selling it on the street
corner after she had finished studying
the financial page.
In later years his mother began to
educate him in the ways Of finance.
His fret work was to settle up claims
against the Texas railroad, and being
unusually shrewd he was fairly sue
cessful. Farmers who lost cattle by
being run down by the trains were the
most numerous class of claimants. and
it is said that Hetty Green's son never
allowed any Of the farmers to get the

was the case. BY work Of this kind he

Of his mother, and every year she en-
