MUST NOT KILL RIVERA.
Secretary Sherman Tells Spain TO
Spare the Cuban Leader.

Washington, April 3. = Secretary
Sherman has protested against the
execution of Gen. RUS Rivera, the
Cuban leader in Pinar del Rio who was
recently captured by the Spanish
forces. Gen. Rivera was wounded in
the engagement in which he was taken,
and the news from Havana is to the eff
feet that he is likely to be tried by
court-martial and shot during the next
As hours. President Mckinley and
Secretary Sherman discussed the
Rivera case, and the latter at the pres
ident's suggestion communicated with
Senior de LONE, the Spanish minister.
Secretary Sherman, in his blunt way,
told the Spanish representative that
the execution of prisoners of war was
abhorrent to the American people. In
the Rivera case this repugnance to the
murder of men captured in civilized
warfare was aggravated by the fact
that the prisoner is badly wounded.

SHELlED BY THE POWERS.
Foreign Warships Open Fire on Gre
tan Insurgents.

Canea, Crete, April 1.-The insurgents
by bold stroke occupied the Hill on the
south side of Suda bay Tuesday even
ing. They We're promptly shelled by
the British, Austrian and Russian war
ships. At day break Wednesday the fir
ing was resumed and the Cretans were
driven from their positions. As soon
as the firing ceased they made another
attempt to recover the ground, and
the war ships promptly resumed the
firing, which was very heavy for sew
eral hours. During the cannonade three
Turks were killed and five wounded
In spite Of the heavy cannonade the
Cretans held their ground stoutly, even
throwing out skirmishers TO repel the
Turkish outposts, though they were
compelled to abandon their own princi-
pal positions behind the stone wall.
London, April 1.-The Daily News

Pasha, president of the council of state,
TO have gone to Greece, but an intima-
ton was given to the porte that it would
not be allowed to land. Russia, the pa
Ter adds, threatened to occupy Ana
tolia and other parts of the Ottoman
territory unless the negotiations were
dropped. The News further says that
the porte has taken measures to pre-
vent Greeks from leaving Turkey SIM
liar to those adopted some time ago re-
garaing the Armenians. A census of
the Greeks in the empire will be taken
for this purpose.
London, March 31.-A dispatch to the
Central News from Athens states that

finally compelled to retreat.
Canea, March 31.-The insurgents ON
Tuesday attacked the town of Izzedin,
which caused the war ships to bonl-
bard them. Later the place was oocu-
pied by mixed detachment of interna-

which means that the fight between

Treasury Receipt. for March.

Washington, April 1.-The statement
of receipts and expenditures for the
month of March to be issued by the
treasury department to-day will show
a decrease in the national deficiency for
the first time, with the exception Of one
month, in a year. The excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures for March
amounted to SS,743,72S, and as there
We're no large payments to Offset the
revenue received Wednesday, million
more dollars will probably be added TO
this favorable showing. This large in
crease in revenue is due to charges for
the withdrawal of goods in bond and the
duties on articles received from abroad
naturally resulting from the Dingley
bill. Importers and others who deal IN
articles on which the duty is increased
by the Dingley bill are getting their
stores out of bonded warehouses and
receiving large consignments from
abroad TO secure the advantage of the
present rates.

Too Bad.

The makers of Pride of Japan tree tea)
have advertised that Thos. Price, analytical
chemist of San Francisco, and Prot. L.
Kingsbury of the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this analysis is,
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure.
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
dixie Settings Best) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages, and submit it to chemists for
analysis; still we assert that the Pride OF Japan
tea sold in this market is artihcially colored
with colorng matter.
We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
of such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
Schilling's Best tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea as you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money back, and that is backing
enough in the long run.

The new flying maching of Major r.
+. Moore, of the British army, is not
on the usual plan of fixed aeroplanes
driven by a screw propeller. He has
selected for his model the Indian fly
ing-fox, his experiments indicating
that its wings can be initiated arti
flcially, and that the action of the
pectoral muscles can be reproduced by
spiral springs of suitable strength to
keep the wings expanded. The up and
down motion can be impaired by a
light electric or other motors. Two or
more pairs of wings, placed tandem,
are found to be better than a single
pair, and 1t is believed to be quite pos
sible to build n machine of this type
capable of lifting man.

BERNRARDT IN SULLIVAN.
First and Last Appearance of Snrnl
in AN Indiana Village.

First and Last Appearance of Sarah
in AN Indiana Village.
did you ever hear about the first,
last and only appearance of Sarah
Bernhardt in Sullivan, Ind.?" asked a
theatrical manager the other day. Sew
eral of his friends who were chatting
with the manager said they hadn't and
asked for the story, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
We'll, it happened number of years
ago" began the story-teller. Sarah
and her company were going from
Indianapolis to some other city. Some
way or other they missed connection
and had to stay all night at Sullivan.
The manager cussed and swore, but
didn't succeed in devising any way to
get TO the city where they were to play
that night. The manager swore that
the night shouldn't be lost entirely and
that they would play right there in Sui
livan. Sarah fumed and raved, but
there was no help for it; she was under
contract to play every night.
They borrowed all the furniture in
the town and fixed up the stage of the
little town hall as best they could. Lit
tie dodgers were printed and scattered
over the country. 1t was announced on
those little bills that the divine Sarah
would appear in Sullivan for one night
only, making her first and last appear
ance. That night the hall was packed
to the doors. People with their hair too
long and their trousers too short were
sitting on the backs of benches and
standing in the aisles by seven o'clock.
AT eight o'clock Sarah came and reached
the stage by back entrance. Stepping
to the curtain she pulled one corner
aside and peeped out at the crowd. As
she caught sight of the audience she
dropped the corner of the curtain like
a hot potato, eXclaiming: My look
al. the Indians."'

ROAD is EXTENDED.
Service of the @. q. & D. is Now East
and West-Made During Dull Times
Changes Already Having Slim
ulating Effect.

CFrom the Commercial, Cincinnati, O., Nov. 5.
1879
The Cincinnati, Hamilton g. Dayton
Passenger Department feels the effects
of business improvement In many ways.
Passenger Traffic Manager D. G. Ed
wards last evening, in commenting upon
business, said that during the dullest
season experienced by roads in years
he had extended his service in three
ways.
"Tbe Hannibal connection oyer the
I. D. g. w. and the Wabash" says he,
'thas been a most beneficial one. Our
extensions of service have been to either
meet competition or to reach out into
new fields. [ found that the Hannibal
field was one not reached by Cincinnati
in fact, the cities and towns along the
Mississippi River. Quincy, Dubuque,
Hannibal and others, had no through
sleeping car connections to Cincinnati.
Commercial travellers informed me that
they found it necessary to be routed via
St. Louis. The owners of our company
acquired the 1. D. & W., and this gave
us an easy way of making an extension
into the Western territory.
"Our mileage via the I. d. & w. and
the Wabash is the shortest to Kansas
City and Denver and other points.
There has been marked Improvement
in the business from this territory eY r
since the line was opened, and the car
service is being better right along.
We also found it Advisable to make an
other extension via the 1, D. & w.
At Roachdale we connect with the
Monon for Chicago. This deviation of
fourteen miles places us in touch with
Charlottesville. Lafayette, and other
Indiana towns. Our last monthly state
ment showed that at Roachdale we han
died over 1900 interchangeable passen-
gers
Our other extension of service was
that with the Baltimore & Ohio, and
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern for
Washington, Baltimore and other Eas
tern points. We originally ran n
through sleeping car service, but the
increase of business and the demands OF
the public have justified US in placing a
through day coach on this run. We
have thus brought II good lot of first and
sccond-class travel via Cincinnati east
ward. These extensions have been
within the last eighteen months-or, as
I have said, during period of business
depression, and have been successful.
Now we feel more than ever confident.
because the increased business is good II

HUMAN ALARM CLOCK.
Neg Martyr, OF London. MnIses a Lly-

Ing by Awnlsing People.
Up at three o'clock in the morning,
off to rouse the early laborCrs, tramp
ing through the poorest streets in all
sorts of wcather-that is the work of
Meg Martyr of London, night watch-
man, says an exchange. She goes from
house to house armed with n long bnm-
boo rod. Upon the windows of her
customers she bangs until. as she puts
it: "They oilers an swear; then know
they're awake right enough" Steve
dores, dock laborcrs and factory hands
are her customers. Ter little girl helps
her, and between them they earn about
20 shillings week.
Meg used to work in Il rope factory
for the noble sum of six an six"
week for ten hours work day, which
being interpreted means weekly in
come of S1.GO. 1t is a sum which does
not provide one with the comforts of
civilization. and, upon the advice of
leaders in the Women's union, Meg
stirred her associates up to demand
higher wages. The demand was re-
fused and the women went on strike
that lasted 10 weeks in the dead of
winter. Then the employer gave in
and the women were allowed nine shill-
ings n week-$2.25.
But Meg was not permitted to enjoy
the fruits of her victory long. When
she knocked down n foreman for in
sulting her, her activity in leading the
strike was punished and she was dis
missed.
Now she is her own boss, but she is
still active in the Women's union. She
has the cause of the women workers
So keenly at heart that she has become
an authority ON work and wages in her
district She attends night school to
learn to read and write, in order that
she may more etfcctually help in the
great war of labor against capital, in
which she strongly believes.

Ginseng in China.

There has always been n prejudice
against cultivated ginseng. Among the
tChinese and japanese, with whom alone
lit is considered celebrated medicine,
the wild specimens bring the higher
prices. At time when thedemand be-
same almost beyond supply other roots
began to be substituted, notably panax
lquinquefolium, or Linn, which was
known as the American root. The dyn-
Hsty favored the 'seng obtained in Man
tchuria, and by them was considered of
unequaled excellence. But it became so
Epare that an imperial edict was issued
4gainst the gathering of it. Ginseng
enllscted in the Chinese empire is i'm
perial property, and is sold only to
those to whom privileges have been
Eranted, and from whom it brings its
weight in gold. During the first part of
#he winter the population of Sjansai
sturn out in body TO collect it, sleeping
dn the field while the season continues.
