SYMPATHIZBRS WITH CUBA.
They Hold an Enthusiastic Meeting at
ArmOry Hall.
speeches by Elwood Bruner and
Others, and Strong Reso-
lutions Adopted.

A large number of Cuban sympathiz-
ers assembled at Armory Hall last
night in compliance with a call for a
meeting Of the Cuban League.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge Hinkson, who briefly expressed
his pleasure at seeing present so many
who were in sympathy with the strug
giles Of the Cubans in their efforts to
throw off the yoke of Spain and set up
a republic of their own. He believed
that the sentiment of the American
people was almost universally in SYM
pathy with the Cubans, as it ought to
be.
Hon. Elwood Bruner was introduced
by the Chairman and spoke Of the pur-
pose of the formation of the league
that had its inception in New York
He said the question was closely allied
with the condition of the world at large
and the way in which it affects our re-
lations with Cuba.
The island lies within twenty-fo
hours sail by steamer from our south
ern coast. 1t has 35,000,000 acres of
fertile land, of which only 100000 are
under cultivation, the rest being in vir
gin forest and mining ground. The
island had a splendid climate and is
prolific in the production of almost
everything.
A colony of Spain, it has been taxed
to death in order to raise revenues for
one of the most despotic and tyrannical
nations in the world, and years ago it
rebelled and for ten years held its own
against the Spanish armies. The
younger generation, after a lapse of
twenty years, has profited by the ex-
perience of the former war, and has
risen again in rebellion on the ground
that they should not be taxed beyond
their power to endure, and without
representation in the home Government.
OF the Spaniards there are only 160 600,
while there 100000 Cubans and they
have to support the Spaniards and the
home Government.
This they have rebelled against 1t
it urged by the enemies of Cuba that
they have no Government and there
fore the United States cannot recog-
niZe them. What are the facts? The
dnsurgent forces have overrun almost
the entire island and Spain now holds
only about one -thirtieth of the island
in control. They have a form of Gov
ment, school system, issue stamps
have mail service and many other
Things that go to make up an estab-
lished Government.
Our country, when it rebelled against
Great Britain, had not a 1.-THE of the
suffering and destitution that to-day
exists in Cuba, and if we were justified
in our revolution. they are far more so.
In 1877 Turkey was expressing and
destroying Greece, and she called on
the great powers of Europe to save her
from destruction, and they turned their
guns on Turkey and said to her. You
must go back and leave Greece her
freedom" There are other instances
where countries have interfered in the

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1897-02-23


Robert F. Engle, son of Senator Robert
B. Engle, gave lecture IN Moorestown,
on Wednesday evening, on the aboye
subject. The lecture was illustrated by
views taken by Mr.. Engle. A Moores
town correspondent sends notice of the
the lecture, and adds, ''If you allow it tc
fail you certainly do not know good
thing when you see it," Here is wbat
the Moorestown people thought of the
lecture:
'The illustrated lecture, "A Month in
Mexico, given on Wednesday, in Moores
town, by your townsman, Robert F. En-
gle, was one of the most enjoyable even
ings Of the season. The hall was filled
with an unusually intelligent audience
and never for moment did the lecturer
fail to secure the closest attention. Mr.
Engle made this lecture popular by dwell
ing especially upon the habits and Gus
toms of the Mexicans, rather than on the
country itself. The illustrations we're par.
ticularly fine and received great apprecia
ton. If our young friend should decide
to repeat this lecture in Mount Holly, We
trust you will give him every encourage
ment."

Burling ton ConvoCatiou.

The handsome buildings of the parish
of Christ church, Riverton, received the
clerical and lay deputies of the Convoca-
ton of Burlington on Tuesday. The
missionary service was held in the church
on Monday evening, when the claims Of
missions were ably presented by Bishop
Scarborough and several of the clergy.
On Tuesday morning the usual services
we're held in the church. the Rev. w. H.
Avery being the preacher, and the Ri.
Rev. Bishop the celebrant at the Holy
Communion. The convocation then ad-
journed to the new parish house for its
business meeting, when the treasurer re-
ported balance on hand of 1928 SO after
expenditures Of $4S1. 40.
The usual appropriations were made for
Convocation Missions. The necessity for
an associate mission was briefly discussed
at the afternoon session. The subject
was then postponed for future meeting.
A petition favoring the passage of the
Lloyd marriage license law was then
presented and received many signatures,
and although fully approved no formal
vote was taken thereon, as being outside
of the regular business of the convocation.
st. Andrews Church, Bridgeton, was &C.
lected for the next meeting, to be held
about June LIST.
The Conyocatlon was very kindly en-
tertained by an abundant lunch in the
Parish House, the capability of which for
such purposes being thus fully tested and
heartily endorsed.

Pulpit Clowns.

The Rev. Dr. s. Clifford Nelson, pastor
of the Bedford Avenue Baptist Church,
Brooklyn, spoke at the annual meeting Of
the Brooklyn Baptist Social Union at the
Clarendon Hotel in that city Thursday
evening. He made the Rev. DIR. Lyman
Abbott the object or diatribe hung upor
DR.. Abbott's recent lectures on the Bible
This is part of what he said:
Sacred subjects have been treated in
the pulpit in slip shod manner. Pulpit
clowns are becoming Satan's most effective
agents. A few men of remarkable powers
have penetrated the heart of the universe
Having made an end OF theism, 1t logi
cally follows that they should make ar
end of the Bible We have the unex.
ampled spectacle of Congregational min
lister in this city engaged in this task O
ripping up the scriptures with a critica
penknife and 1inging them piecemeal in
to the waste basket of agnosticism.
"As far as can see, there are but few
minor prophets left, and when DR.. Abbot
gets through there will be small chance
for them. DR.. Abbott will leave the
Bible without rim or core. The Bible
however, has been before Plymouth
church, and will be here when severa
distinguished persons will be but mem
ory."
DR.. Nelson's remarks were received
with manifestations of general approval.

To Disbar a Former Judge.

The fact that disbarment proceeding
have been begun against ex-Judge Johr
w. Wescott, one Of the most prominent
members of the bar in this State, cropped
out at the hearing of case before Judge
Vroom, sitting as Supreme Court Com
missioner, Friday morning.
The Supreme Court, it appears, early in
the past week, granted a rule to show
cause why Wescott should not be disbar
red. Clarence 7. Atkinson filed an aft
davit upon which the rule was issued
and it covered the case of Maggie Thorn.
ton against Henry Farley, which Judge
Vroom heard Friday morning. 1t is al
legged that Wescott resorted to sharp prac
tice in order to secure judgment for 81, 00C
against Farley, and it was for the purpose
of reopening this judgment that testimony
was taken. Mr.. Atkinson says thai
charges against his brother lawyer before
the Supreme Court embrace number Of
cases in which Wescott did wrong.
Judge Wescott strenuously denies the
charges, and says he will prove their fal
sity when the opportunity comes.
