ANOTHER instance of human depravity
has been shown during the past week in
the murder committed at Camden. A
young man is confined in the Jail there,
charged with killing his mother and
grandmother, and the evidence against
him is said to be very conclusive. The
deliberate action of the murderer and the
horrible details of the crime make it al
most impossible to believe that son and
grandson could commit such a deed.
Charity suggests that he is insane, but his
actions before and after the act will not
allow of such conclusion.

WEARING diamonds appears to be a
great crime in the eyes of some people.
Well, Billy Thompson, the race-track own
er, and Tom Flynn, the race-track starter,
both wear diamonds. The profits of their
vocation allowed them to buy these gems.
aud Howard Packer voted in favor of a
bill that gave them chance to keep on
coming money at the expense of the poor
fellows who were unable to withstand the
infatuation of the race-track.

EXPERIMENTS are not always the SAT-

county discovered six years ago, when
they elected Democratic Senator whose
record was so bad that his own party repu-

no need of trying it again. Joshua E.
Borton is an honest man with a clean rec
ord. He is good enough for all the people

Americans With Insurgents.


The New York Herald publishes the
following special col respondence from
Los Villas, Cuba:
Among the Americans in the Cuban
army there is only one who ] as had
previous experience in military affairs.
This is Captain VIM. Smith, formerly
in the United States cavalry. He is at
| present second in command of Gomez s
| personal escort and is considered as the
bravest soldier in the body of picked
men. Captain Smith is probably the
only officer in Gomez's command who
thoroughly understands cavalry and
other military matters. Yet he is kept
down to his present rank while others,
who are inferior in every respect have
been promoted to the rank of origadiers
and coluuels. =
AS in the case of other Americans,
jealousy is the obstacle to his promo
ton.
Colonel Charles Gordon disem barked
here in Cuba last June and was granted
the rank of major. His remarkable
shooting at the fight of Vista Hermosa,
in the province of Havana, astonished
the Spaniards aud Cubaus. He crossed
the trocha and Joined Maceo, as he did
cot care to stay in a province where
the Cubaus did little else but dodge
the Spanish columns. Maceo promoted
him for bravery in the field and thought
so much of him that he was selected as
one of the few to cross the trocha in
his company.
GorGon was wounded at the same
time that Maceo was killed. H arriv-
ed last week at the headquarters of

The difference in the Spanish Basque
game of pelota and the American game
Of hand ball is in the appliances used
by the players and the ball. Each
player is provided with a wicker woven
basket called costa on his right hand.
The costa is horned shaped andis about
twenty inches long and four and half
inches wide. 1t is fastened on above
the wrist and curves inward like the
palm Of the hand. 1t ends in tip
with very sharp curve. This cover
ing protects the hand entirely against
the impact of the ball, and enables the
player to drive it with tremendous
force. He can send it to the front wall
and bring it to the back wall, a dis
lance of 100 feet, after one bounce

the farmers get returns from the cream

most all the larger creameries, are CO.
