Chaplain McCnbc Delivers His Fn-

Chaplain McCnbc Delivers His Fn-
nous Lecture in broadway Church.
The assembly room of Broadway church
was comfortably filled last evening with
eager persons, who had come to hear the
famous lecture of Bishop C. C. McCabe The
bishop favored the congregation with one
of his old favorite songs, render ed in his in
spring way and after giving a short history
of his lecture, he related, as he has related
for the last thirty-three years, that lecture
so full OF brightness and sparkling wit as
to be almost beyond comprehension when
we think of the horridness of the prison as
related by others.
The lecture was first given to an assembly
OF children in Philadelphia, where a pastor
had asked Mr.. McCabe to give a short talk
to them about old war incidents. Not car
ing to chill their young hearts by the awful
ness that might be related, Mr. McCabe
gave them bright, cheering talk about the
pleasant things that happened there, which
has since become famous as his lecture, THE
Bright Side OF Libby Prison." The lecture
was interspersed with comparisons and prac-
tical teaching as applied to the present time.
For instance, I'VE read in the daily papers
about great battle in Cuba-sixteen killed
and seventeen wounded. How does this
compare with our battle of Gettysburg %
Tho bishop hoped that Cuba may gain her
rights and that he would live to see the time
when all war would be over and
A sweet bird from the south
Would build its nest in the canon's mouth,
And the only sound from its rusty throat
Would be the wren or the bluebirds note.
The bishop related that he and other
chaplains and physicians were arrested by
detachment under command of John B.
Gordon, now senator from Georgia. while re-
naming behind the ranks to care for the
wounded He was sick with typhoid fever
for eight weeks, being deirious part of the
time, and was afterwards sent home on ex-
change.
Bursts of applause and laughter showed
the appreciation of the audience and at the
close of the lecture he sang another song,
with the congregation Joining in the chorus

No "Fetted Calf'' In His.

There was touch of pathos in q dos
nestle scene just enacted at Vincennes,
Ind. Nearly two years ago the son Of
a prominent farmer fell before a great
temptation, committed forgery and ran
away to hide his disgrace. One night
recently he reappeared at the old home
stead in the dress of tramp, impelled
apparently by the approach Of the
Christmas festival to seek parental for
giveness. just as the family was re-
firing for the night he mustered up
courage to make his presence known.
The door was opened, his father stood
before him, and after an instant's hes
itation burst out in glad cry of rec
ognition. Ten minutes afterwards Q
blazing fire was leaping about the fire.
place and the boy was close in the ems
brace of the county Jail. This is NOT
the usual sequel to incidents of this
character, and 1T seems to point the
moral that it is better not to yield to
temptation to take other peoples
money. That moral appears to have
several conspicuous illustrations in cur
rent history.

Canton, o., Feb. 27.-Cabinet specula-
ton seems to have come to halt. It's
assumed that Col. ]. j. McCook has been
given an opportunity to accept port
folio, but is not at all certain that he
will be member of the cabinet. In the
talk about New York appointments that
has appeared in the newspapers from
day to day since the election it seems to
have escaped general notice that Hon.
Whitelaw, Reid, OF the Tribune, has al
ways been great favorite of the presi-
dent-elect for some suitable and con.
spicuous recognition. Mr.. Reid's &C.
lection for place in the cabinet, or a
foreign embassy, at his choice, has been
until recently under Maj. McKinley's
careful and most cordial consideration.
The relations between the two gentle
men have long been kind and intimate
and 10 one regrets Mr.. Reds ill-health
more than the presidcnt-elect, or is so
anxious for his complete recovery. But
both Mr.. Reid and his friends think it
would lee imprudent for him to risk
the confinement of official work until
his health is absolutely restored, and
hence have advised against that course
Maj. Mckinley within the last fortnight
finally and reluctantly gave up the idea
of appointing Mr.. Reid and .hereupon
wrote him q letter expressive both of
his regard and appreciation, and of the
deep regret that for the present at least
he could not have the advantage of his
association and cooperation in the af
fairs of the administration. Maj. Nc
Kinley is improving rapidly in health.
He took long walk Friday and did q
considerable amount Of work.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 27.-The mer-
curry at seven o'clock Friday morning
registered 20 degrees below zero in St.
Paul. This is the coolest weather of
the winter, and the coolest so late in
February in the history of the local
weather station. The nearest approach
to it was in 1883, when on the 23d day
of the month the mercury went down
to rs below. On the 9th of February,
1888, it registered SO below, but the win
ter of $50 was the coolest on record in
this section of the country. The cold
wave will hang on to-day, although by
afternoon it is possible the chilly area
will have passed on east.
With the exception of rise of eight
to twelve degrees in temperature over
Manitoba, there has been general
fall, it being decided over the Missouri
valley and the northwest, where the fall
Thursday night ranged from IA to 30
below. The fall at Winnipeg was only

cradle suffering will result from coal

WANT ANNEXATION.
Reliable Information Gained by c

Reliable Information Gained by Gu.
ban League of the United States.
The Cuban League of the United
States, in an effort to obtain informa-
ton by its own representative from the
field of war, sent well-known writer,
whose name is withheld, to Cuba with
instructions to observe closely matters
on both sides of the controversy and to
faithfully report thereon. His first let
ter, dated February 3, to the president
Of the Cuban league, has just arrived.
In 1t he says:
Here is fact of very grave impor-
lance upon which you may rely: There
exists here a very positive sentiment,
carefully concealed OF course, among
people Of property-Cuban, Spanish
and American-in favor of annexation
to the United States. They are tired of
war and want absolute peace, security
and prosperity under the American flag.
You must understand that this senti-
ment Is not expressed openly, but have
had private conferences with people of
wealth and high social standing, and
can assure you that the sentiment in
favor OF annexation prevails generally.
1t is the intention of Weyler to abso-
lutely exterminate the Cuban race. He
has destroyed all the property OF the
poorer classes. burned their houses, cut
down their orchards, and uprooted their
plantations of every kind. The people
are driven in droves towards the towns,
where they are herded in vile sheds to
die Of smallpox, yellow fever and FAM
Inc. They are the poor people who take
no part in the war, mostly women and
children, and are known as pacificos."
