A GIANT CAKE

One of the giants of her majesty's
jubilee was the enormous cake Of MessrsL
Gunter. Months previous the firm asked
permission Of her majesty to presnt her
with q jubilee cake, on the plea that 20
years before the same firm supplied the
cake at the coronation. The jubilee
cake was 9 feet inches in circumference,
10 feet high, and weighed, without the
decorations, over a quarter Of a ton. The
making of the entire cake kept two spe-
cialists busy for four month.

NEW E OF E
Splendid Results Reported of a Per
sian and Merino Cross.

BERKLEY, CAL, Nov. 20.-The Ag-
ricultural Department of the Univer-
sity of California is raising'a new kind
of sheep. The superintendent of
the experiment at Paso Robes has
succeeded in breeding a variety of
sheep that will NEAR much to the
wool and meat markets. 1t is the re-
suit of cross breeding of Persian and
Merino. Experiments along the same
lines, though not SO complete, were
conducted by George Washington
with marked advantage.
Two years ago three full blooded
rams were received from the Persian
government and the experiments
were commenced in oss-breeding.
The offspring resulted in a variety
admirably adapted to the California
climate, showing wool and meat
above the quality of any yet obtained.
They we're colored white, reddish
brown and black, the black being held
especially valuable for commercial
purposes. The wool was of a texture
between the Persian and Merino, the
average length being 8 inches. Re-
Gently the first sample of the wool was
offered for sale at San Francisco and
brought an advance of 4 cents on the
usual price for a pound. The new
species attain a tremendous size and
are very broad backed.

A VICTIM OF THUGS.
Frank P. Arbuckle, of Denver, Loses
His Life IN New York City.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Frank
P. Arbuckle, Of Denver, Colo, was
found in an unconscious condition dy-
ing, in an obscure place near a vacant
lot, just off the sidewalk, in a lot of
weeds, on the west side of Eighth
avenue, between One Hundred and
FIfty-second and One Hundred and
Fifty-third streets, at 2:40 O'Clock this
morning. He died in the patrol
wagon on the way to the station
house, without regaining conscious
ness.
That the man was garroted, robbed
and murdered is believed from incl
dents which occurred a short time
previous to his being discovered lying
in the weeds.
The ambulance surgeon who was
called upon to attend the dying man
gave it as his opinion that he was suf-
fering from heart disease. The po-
lice, however, are of the opinion that
the man came to his death at the
hands of thugs. Ten minutes before
Arbuckle was found policeman pass
cd the place on his beat, and he as
serts positively that there was NO man
there then.
Arbuckle was about fifty years old,
five feet nine inches tall, and weighed
about 200 pounds. He wore a black
diagonal suit of clothes of fine ma
terial, which bore the name OF the
maker, J. H. Merriman, Fond Du
Lac, Wis. In the pockets of the dead
man a number of letters addressed to
"Hon. Frank p. Arbuckle, care of
Tdmmdny Times, 236 West Twenty
ninth street." were found.

belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine On her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed us
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be SO ear death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your 8. s. S., we thought it
would do no harm, il not some good,
to try it, SO we informed her of her
conditiesa, just as the doctors had in
formed US, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and

hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your s. s. S.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.

KENTUCKY ELECTION FRAUDS
Gold Democrats and Republicans In

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Nov. 49,
The grand jury of Warren county after
a session of several days has returned
indictments for election frauds against
five prominent citizens, two of whom
were gold standard Democrats and
three were Republicans. The names
of the men indicted for whom bench
warrants were issued are Edward
Smallhouse, John Sanders, Magistrate
G. E. Speck and his son, Louis Speck,
and Albert Berry. Smallhouse 10 one
of Bowling Green's best known young
business men. Magistrate Speckis an
ex-member of the Legislature and a
prominent Republican politician. He
and his son live at Richardsville, San
ders lives at Rockfield and Berry at
Hadley.
The indictments charge the men with
offering money on election day and
the day before to voters to remain
away from the polls. Smallhouse and
Sanders are gold standard Democrats.
The congressional race in this district
was very close and as DIR. Hunter has
on the ground of fraud this
prosecution will be valuable to John
s. Rhea, as tending to show that not
only did he have a majority on the
face of the returns, but that men were
kept from voting for him.

THE e OF CUBA.
The Banner OF Liberty Once More
About to Float Over the
Fair Isle.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 21.-Now, that
politics is once more at rest, it is a fair
question to ask, have we done our
duty by Cuba7 At this moment when
the banner of liberty is once more
floating to the breeze in the fairest isle
of the Antilles, generation after gem
Grafton of Cubans have risked life and
fortunes and often sacrificed faith in
the unequal struggle against European
despotism, and in the assertion of
those rights which u own declara-
ton of independence has proclaimed,
to be inalienable, and the United
States has looked on without raising a
hand to assist in the patriotic cause.
There is far more reason for Ameri-
can Interference in behalf of Cuba
than there was for French interfer-
ence in behalf of America. Humanity
and civilization likewise demand that
the United States should not be al
passive spectator of a struggle be-
tween Cuba and Spain. Spanish war
fare belongs more to the middle ages
than to the nineteenth century. In
the late uprising of the Cubans for
freedom, which lasted for nearly ten
years-from 1S6s-thousands of So
called rebels were put to death, ex-
tensive regions of the island were des-
olated and confiscation kept pace with
the work of the executioner, and all
through this scene of blood and op-
preston, worthy of the dark ages, the
great America republic, able to crush
the puny Spanish with one stroke of
the eagle claw, looked calmly on, while
the efforts of the American government
were devoted to the restraint of those
among u citizens who sought to as
sist the Cuban liberation. Is this an
attitude worthy of a mighty nation,
which should be a pillar of light to the
enslaved and a beacon of hope to the
down-trodden?
Cuba yearns for liberty and her peo-
pie have proven their devotion to the
sacred cause by a record of self sacri-
fee, now extending over half a CEN
fury. She stands alone among Ameri-
can nations, this fairest of American
isles, raising her menacled arms and
pleading to American manhood. The
American republic has had 40 direct
share in throttling Cuban liberty,
but we cannot hold ourselves guiltIess
