The present heated period, a fore.aste OF
what tie summer will be. has forcibly dem

The owner of the plant, Mr. S. P Brown
was at the District building today. and in
private conversation said he had been from
the beginning of operations the victim of
all sorts of schemes TO bring the cramatory

MYSTERY OF THE CHILDS.
Alleged FilibusteringSteam Gamer Return
To key West.


Key West, Fla. April ls.-The steam
tug George W. Childs, which, ii has been
stated. carried a nlibustering expedition
from Cape Florida to Cuba, has returned to
this port.
United States officials here deny that
the Childs succeeded in landing an expedi-
tiOn in Cuba The Chiids left here under
suspicious circumstances aud was fol-
lowed by a revenue cutter under instruC-
tiOns from Collector Browne. The cutter
was ordered to keep the ChiIds in sight.
but whether the revenue vessel succeeded
in doing so is not known.
The cutter returned before the ChildS got
back. The Chids carried no arms from this
port. She intended to get munitions at
Cape Florida, but il was claimed in Official
circles that her purposes were frustrated
II is now claimed that the ChIlds had no
intention of ia king the Juan MonZon expedi-
tion on board. MonzOn. ii is said, left Key
West with a few men and camped on one
or the keys near this city. 1t is stated that
Monzon's effort to reach Cuba was purely
a private one and not backed by the Cuban
leaders in this country.
Monzon is very brave man. but Grip
pie, and the leaders fear he could not stand
field duty. Monzon chartered the schooner
Pearl and left Key West some days ago.
There were about twenty-five men in his
party. 1t is alleged that the Pearl got
ashore near Key Largo, where the party
disembarked, but was subsequently taken
off by another vessel.

DEMAND RELEASE OF DIAZ.
Million and II Half of Baptists VIII
Petition weyler.

Atlanta. Ga. April 1S.-A million and a
half Baptists will soon be demanding the
release of Rev. A. j. Diaz. the Cuban
evangelist, who has been arrested and
imprisoned by Gen. weyler. Rev. T. F.
Tichcnor, corresponding secretary OF the
Southern Baptist convention, issued an
address today to the Baptists OF the South.
In it he calls on the denomination to raise
a fund to defend DiaZ and to care for him
and his family. Dr. Tichenor says that
Diaz will not dare to touch n mOuthful of
food prepared in tue Spanish prison for
fear of being poisoned. The Baptists OF
this section, and they are numerous. are
aroused by the news OF the arrest and
they will appeal at once to the State
Department to Interfere.
Diaz is an American citizen. He was a
patriot OF the revolution twenty years
ago. To escape arrest he threw himself
into the sea. hoping to drift back into
shore at nightfall. but he noated SO far
out that he could not get back.
A passing ship picked him up and car
ried him to New York. He was converted
in this country, joined the Baptist Church
and returned to Cuba as an evangelist.
He has done a great work there, and has
greatly endeared himself to the Baptists of
the States.

and the insurance money may thus be-
come the sole resourc of the widow and
orphans. Surely. a fund such rs this
ought to be sacred against robbery
through depreciation of the value of the
money in which it is paid. Free silver.
on the basis of the present value of the
two metals, would rob every widow Of
half the money value coming to her
from the insurance carried by her hus-
band.
And this would be a stupendous rob-
berry indeed. The five Massachusetts,
life insurance companies of which sta
tistics are given in the commissioners
report, paid $4.637 1888 in death claims
last year. The grand total reported of
all life insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state was $66,851.477. Can
the women, for whose benefit most of
This insurance money. was paid, regard
with %equanimity the loss of $33, OOO,O 600
in one year? There are millions of wom-
en- dependent upon the payment of such
policies. The Massachusetts, companies
had 122,6OO policies in force last year,
calling for $500, S74,6 500 in case of death.
The grand total, including all companies,
was 1,143,335O policies. amounting to the
enormous sum of 81, 795, OS3. S64. Right
here in Massachusetts there is $2S7 ,91O,-
1863 at stake in this way.
In addition to all these there are the
assessment life insurance companies,
with 1920 certificates in force, repre-
senting $93.522,4 57; the fraternal bene-
fciary associations. with q membership
of S54,65O, which paid out $40, ,656
for 1O.O69 death claims last year; the
casualty companies, which paid out
S3OO.3O1. All these, which are primari-
ly for the relief of widows and orphans,
would have to pay in deprecated money
under free silver.
But the money in which the premiums
on these policies have been paid is
money as good as gold. worth 100 cents
on the dollar. In Massachusetts alone
last year $40. 74O,S67 was thus paid. Do
not the women want. and is it not their
right. to receive from the insurance COM
panies as good money as their husbands
paid for the insurance?-Boston Post.
