Members of the JuntO Do Not Think
Nuceo Is Dead.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-Dr. Thomas Es-
trade Palma and DIR. j. Castillo, of the Gu
ban junto, in this city, refuse TO give ere
dence to the report of the death of Gen.
Antonio Maceo in a recent engagement
with Major Cirujada, after crossing the
trocha in the western part Of Cuba This
is the seventh time that the news of Ma
ceo's death has been circulated with the
semblance of official authority" said DR..
Castillo. Continuing. the doctor said it had
always been the custom TO report that Ma
Geo had fallen In conflict whenever he
compelled the Spanish TO retreat with
will not end the contest" said Dr. Costello,
who intimated that he looked upon the re-
port in the light OF a Spanish fake"
Those of the Cuban sympathizers in the
city who had focked TO the junto head
quarters to-day in the hope of obtaining
more definite information as to the truth
or faIsity of the report were clearly despon-
dent, but placed little credence in the story
OF the death of Maceo and young Gomez
more authentic Information was all that
General Palma would say.
DR.. Castillo thinks it strange that in
making the identification of Maceo's body
reference TO the four bullet wounds on his
breast was not made. When the second
report of his death had been circulated one
of the points of identification given was
the finding of his initials. "A. NJ, on his
saddle / saw the saddle and know there
were no such letters on Ii" added the
doctor. who is hopeful that the last re-
port will turn out to be pure fabrication
"Maceo Very Much Alive"
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-At the Cuban
headquarters here no alarm is felt at the
reported death of General Maceo. Second
Secretary Diaz-Albertini, who is the only
member of the junto now in the city. ex-
pressed himself n~raost positive terms that
the story had no basis OF truth and was
sent out for the sole purpose Of influence
ing, and, If possible, deferring action by the
notice" said the secretary, that the story
contains very many details of the finding
of the body, the marked linen and letters
from the elder TO the younger Gomez. 1t Is
really amusing to learn that Maceo wore
silk socks, containing his initials worked
in red silk and that his linen and that OF
the younger Gomez. whose body is said TO
have been found near that or his chief
was also marked with their initials Any
that they have no seen, much less worn
linen shirts and silk socks for many day
This part of the story is quite ridiculous
and bears unrlistakable evidences OF Span
ish origin. And then the letter to young
Gomez. Cuban father, in writing to hfs
child, never signs his name as this letter
was signed. NJ. Gomez That is a cold
would have signed Your Father. The
whole story is a feeble and transparent at
nothing else The United States and the
Spaniards. too, will soon learn that Maceo
is very much alive.

uuent1y this is the case. A woman cam
not be happy, helpful amiable wife who
suffers from weakness and disease at the
very mainsprings of her nature. Pity
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If a woman will she may always
hold her place in a mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in a womanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, hus-
bands love.

in Brighton. He was later in charge
of the churches at Madison. Green Bay,

ton. Here he has since remained and
looked after the welfare of the congre-
cation until about two years ago. Then
failing health compelled him to retire
from active work. Rev. Etschmond
was one of the best known clergymen
in the state. During his long priest
hood in Wisconsin he was instrumental
in the building of many churches and
in the strengthening of the congrega-
ton, of which he was the spiritual ad
wiser. In the summer of 1892 Rev.
Etschmond celebrated his golden an
niversary in Brighton, an event which
will long be remembered by the many
people who participated. The funeral
took place from the Catholic church in
Brighton at 10 o'clock Friday morning
and was very largely attended. Inter

to the number of twenty were in at
tendance from all parts of the state.
