Of citizens on next Friday evening to take

their struggle for freedom The Press
also prints very strong letter from Prof.

in correspondence with the Cuban junta
in New York for several weeks. The fol-

months we have been confronted by an
extraordinary condition of affairs. Strip
ped of all subterfuges and apologies these
are the naked facts. An American island
community, almost within sight of our
shore, is dedicated to rapine and butchery.

and blood goes on. Spain is the treacher-

chief accessory to the crime.

SPAIN NOT WILD OVER wEYLER.

HIS Course Ia CUBA Fa1ls TO tonne Op
to Expectations.
Madrid, Dec. 15.-The dissatisfaction
with Gen. weyler's conduct of affairs in
Cuba grows apace here. The ministerial
papers complain about his returning to
Havana to receive an undeserved ovation
instead of vigorously pursuing the insur-
gents in the province of Pinar del Rio.
other papers resent Gen. Weyler's alleged
suppression of kilograms recording the
ovations to Maj. Cirujeda upon the receipt
of the news that his command had defeat
ed a largely superior force of rebels and
killed their leader, Maceo. This action is
attributed to jealousy on the part of Gen.
Weyler, who, the papers claim, desires to
have no one share with him the honor OF
suppressing the insurrection.
Credible rumors are current that the gov
ernment is not at all satisfied with Gen,
Weyler's administration of the civil and
military affairs, and that II the situation
in Cuba does not shortly improve 1t will
substitute In his place Gen. Marin, at pres
ent governor of Porto Rico.

convicted on a charge of fraudulently per-

any readings in either branch OF the leg

the supreme court, which now unani-

there was not the least evidence OF fraud

This assignment act which was enrolled

branches OF the legislature, was not dis
covered until several days after the legig-
lature had adjourned. 1t Is the first case
OF the kind on record IN North Carolina.

fact that war is now being waged in
Cuba, that the people Thereof may enjoy
political freedom, and that the people of
Cuba in their efforts for success have the
sympathy and best wishes of the people of
the United States.

INDIA'S FATHER DAMIEN.
Work Among the Lepers That Has Al
ready Produced Good Results.

Work Among the Lepers That Has Al
ready Produced Good Results.
Valuable work is being done by de-
voted Catholic priests among the lepers
Of Burmah, says the London Times.
The annexation of Upper Burmah in
1885 revealed a terrible need for succor
to this unhappy class. Bishop Simon,
r. c., addressed the officials on the
subject within two years after the coun-
try passed under British rule, but it
was not until 1891 that Father Johann
Wehinger was able to found the St.
Johns Leper asylum on grant OF six
acres near Mandalay.
In Burmah lepers are not forbidden to
frequent public places and are not sep
arated from their families, as in India
They lie at the gates OF the temples, in
the food bazars and on the sides of the
bridges, where they expose their hid
eously mutilated limbs to excite COM
passion and obtain aims. An asylum
for these miserable objects was hailed
with gratitude. In two days after 1t
was opened the wards were crowded
and new buildings had to be COM
menced.
Father Wehinger has made the insti-
tuition model for all leper asylums-
with perfect system of hygiene and
measures for the alleviation or even
curative treatment of the disease, sep
arate wards for the unaffected children
Of leprous parents and vernacular
school for their education. During last
year 600 lepers were on the rolls and
the demand for fresh wards grew ur-
gent. Father Wehinger came to the
end of his resources. All that self
denial and devotion could achieve he
has accomplished.
He is now, we believe, in England,
seeking aid to enable him to go on with
his work. 1t is work which can most
effectively be done by celibate breth-
rem, without the responsibility of wife
or possible children to whom the dis
ease might be communicated. Johann
Wehinger is the Father Damien OF
India.

ONE SERIOUS EFFECT.

OF the Recent Republican Victory in the
Commonwealth Of Kentucky.
1t was somewhat early in the morning
when the Washington Star reporter
dropped into the wet-goods department
Of popular downtown hotel, where
there is always to be found southern
contingent--in the hotel, not the W..
G. department-and standing at the
counter there he saw well-known
kentuckian of the older school. 1t was
about ten days after the election news
had been received from Kentucky, and
the Kentuckian's brow was not crown
ed with sunlight or laurels. On the con-
trary, it was swathed in heavy gray
clouds. 1t may be explained here that
the reporter was not in that locality
after drink, but after man who was
after a drink. AS he stood talking to
him, his attention was attracted by the
Kentuckian's talk to the barkeeper, who
had showed well-worn black bottle
out in front of his customer.
"Take it away" said the Kentuck-
ian, gloomily, with funereal wave of
his hand.
whats the matter with it?" asked
the surprised barkeeper. Its the
same Kentucky brand you've been
using for years.
Il know it," he said, regretfully,
"but ever since Kentucky went repub-
lican 1t doesn't seem to taste natural,
and I've got to try something else.
Suppose you give me little of that
Maryland rye"
Certainly, sir" said the barkeeper,
deferentially, and turned to get it, but
stopped half way.
Excuse me, sir" he ventured, "but
didn't Maryland &c that way, too?"
The Kentuckian thrummed on the
counter with his knuckles nervously.
That so, that's so," he mused; then
he broke out fiercely: II wonder if I've
got to drink water" and walked out OF
the place Indignantly.

Death of Wild Boar Which Infested

Grizzly Bend" was the name borne
for many years by that portion of the
county lying along the Sacramento
River southeasterly from Chico and en-
bracing the Parrot ranch and other
lands in that vicinity, says the Oroyille
Mercury. OF course it is long years
since the grizzly held possession there.
as. like the Indian, he was forced to
give way before the pioneer settlers Of
that vicinity.
A place, however, SO well calculated
for the home of the grizzly could not
long be without its representative,
even if 1t had to be an animal some
what less wild and more domestic in
it's habits. Hogs turned loose in the
swamps and morasses soon became 70
wild that it was dangerous for a per-
son to be caught unawares by one of the
patriarchs Of the herds that infested
the district.
So large and vicious had one of these
fellows become that he was known and
feared by all the residents in that vicin-
ity, and for his wild nature and fero-
cious conduct generally had become
known as "Old Grizzly" and it was
claimed he was bullet proof and could
not be slain. Recently he fell victim
to party Of hunters who sought him
with the avowed purpose of effecting
his determination.
The boar was an immense fellow and
weighed $50 pounds. His tusks were
long, one Of them being partly broken
off. The hide was over an inch thick
and the shields on the shoulders were
two and one-half inches thick. He
had never been injured by dogs or gun
before.

Pat Wouldn't Be Cheated.

A well-known scientist, walking
along London street, came across an
itinerant astronomer, and applying his
eye to the instrument was astonished to
see beautiful full moon, although at
the time the moon was only in her sec
ond quarter. The instrument was not a
telescope at all, but simply tube, with
q hole where the eye-piece should be
and transparent photograph of full
moon with a light behind it at the other
end. On the scientist asking the exhib-
itor how he could so cheat the public the
man simply remarked: TITS all right,
sir. used to have proper scope once,
but turned 1t up for this after an Irish
man pitched into me for showing him
only 'arf moon. This way pays better
