Ia the fifteenth century SPAN was a
respected power in Europe As nation
it had been solidified out of a umber OF
Christian elements, by a common antag.
onlsm to the Moorish conquerors. In
the sixteenth century it had grown to an
enormous empire, with vast territ cries in
che richests portion OF the New World.
Streams OF wealth we're constantly pour.
ing into its Golfers from these conquered
possessions. At the close OF the eiph-
tenth, and the beginning OF the nine
tenth centuries. the outlying portions OF
this vast nation began one by one To
sever all relations, until at present it re-
Gains its hold upon only two sections OF
any great importance-Cuba in the west
and the Philippine islands in the east
Judging by the past century, and the
loss to Spain OF every possession in both
South and North America, IL seems not
unsafe to predict that the beginning OF
the twentieth century will zee it return
once more to the actual limits Of it's DOS
sessions in the fifteenth. Now, then, what
causes have operated to bring on such
decay OF prestige, while other European
nations, like Germany and England, Rus
STA and Italy, Frarce and Austria, hav,
developed and in some measure kept
close together in their Development

SO, though by letter have been asked
Tor an expression of opinion upon the
Cuban question, shall not give it (at
any rate not yeti, for the great ones OF
the country still feel uncertain of the
right thing to do. However, il your
readers will allow me, will spend a short
time considering Spain as nation. It's
desperate methods in Cuba may then be
more clearly understood. To consider an
individual carefully, to weigh his faults
and strength, is always interesting. To
do the same thing to a nation, is always
interesting also, but more complicated

SOUAW AS A LUMBER JACK.
Unique Position of .'Spil<e Shoe Mag
in Northern Wisconsin.

Uniaue Position of "spike Shoe Mag
in Northern Wisconsin.
One of the best log drivers and all
around lumber jacks in northern Wis
consin is Chippewa Indian woman
named Maggie Moon. better known in
the woods and on the river as Spike
Shoe Mag" She may now be seen every
day running logs on the Nemadj river
at Superior, and she has been seen al
that same occupation every summer
during the last five years, while in the
winter season she has been employed
as an ordinary lumber jack-to swing
the AK, to skid logs, or to drive a tote
team.
Maggie is the wife of John Moon. n
stalwart Chippewa Indian, whose oc-
cupation is also that of lumber jack
and log driver. Mr.. Moon took a con-
tract once to harvest some timber for
the owner thereof. but he took the job
at too low price and was obliged to
put his wife to work chopping and haul
ing in order to save mans wages.
Mrs. Moon seemed to take to the work
as though she had been used to it all her
life, and she made such handy lum-
ber jack that her husband could never
see his way clear to dispense with her
services. Three years ago John Moon
went to work on the log drive and took
his wife with him just to see if she
could do the work, in case she had to.
Mrs. Moon rugged herself out with IA
pair of bloomers, donned a slouch hat
and pair of spike shoes, and sailed
forth with her lord and master to
learn the log-driving business.
After experiencing all manner of
hardships and disappointments. she
finally mastered the business, and can
now balance herself upon floating log
with the deXterity of an acrobat. The
couple live during the driving season
in an old log cabin on the bank of the
Nemadji river, and in winter they make
their abode in a small canvas tent,
usually pitched a short distance from
the mess camp.-N. Y. Times.

Horrible Conditions in Havana.

WASHINGTON, October 25.-Only an
inkling of the revolving horrors Of
starvation and desolation prevalent
throughout Cuba have reached this
country. The conditions of the Interior
small towns of Cuba are fearful. From
Havana almost incredible accounts of
the barbarOus result of Spain's mis-
rule ontinue to multiply in the official
records. Today an official statement
was delivered to the president which
shocked him beyond measure. 1t was
the regular weekly report of Dr. Brun-
ner sanitary inspector of hospital
service at Havana and is as follows:
THE death rate is assuming alarming
proportions in this city and is due to
The insufficiency of food among the
poorer classes. A pest hole known as
Les FOsOs has been set aside for coun-
try people sent to Havana. 1t is large
wood building $50 feet in length.
There were 500 people found around
this building, 200 lying ON the floor
sick and dying. There were $50 chill
dren below the age of ten years who's 9
chance for living thirty days under
existing conditions is against them.
There are two other places in the city
where the same conditions exist. The
hospitals refuse patients. One capable
of handling 200 persons has nearly 500.
During the week thirty-one deaths
from starvation were recorded, but in
reality twice that number occurred. !"
DR.. Brunner says the bodies of persons
buried in Guanabacoa, 81 miles east of
Havana, are being disinterred to max e
room for new burials. The stencil from
the bodies buried is unbearable.

Disastrous Railroad Wreck.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Twenty
dead ard eighteen slightly injured is
the record of the New York Central
wreck near Garrison yesterday, the
worst accident on the road since the
Hamburg disaster in ISL. The pro-
portion of the injured to the dead is
unusual and due to the fact that nearly
all the fatalities were by drowning.
The worst of the injured have nothing
more serious than broken bones. 1t is
believed al the dead bodies will be re-
covered. An unusually high tide
weakened the wall of the bridge which
fell with the weight of the train, tumb
ling the cars into the river.
The engine was located at noon, but
no bodies were found in it by the div
ers. The three supposed to be there
have probably foated away. One ur-
known dead woman has been identified
as Mrs. Robert Lipdsman, of Utica.
Four Cinnamon were also identified
this afternoon.

SAN DIEGO OARSwOMEN.
Four Girls Make n Record for Saving
Twenty Lives.


In February, 1891, four girls of San
Diego, Cal, formed a boat club, and
borrowing 4 butchers bumboat started
merrily off to race with the well
equipped rowing clubs that practice all
the summer through upon the sapphire
crescent that curves toward Coronado's
golden beach.
At first people smiled a little at the
idea of four young girls going in for
the muscular exercise, but now that
these young women have made record
by saving 20 lives the lilac club is recog-
nized everywhere in southern Califor-
mia. The name means nothing, but the
girlish whim of the oarswomen, Zulette
Lamb and Lena Polhemus with her two
sisters, Agnes and Carrie, for it is
formed of the first letters of their Chris
tian names, but the club has come to
stand for something on the coast and its
members wear decorat tions more hon
orable than medals for race winning.
After the club was formed rigid set
of rules and regulations were framed
and constitution adopted. Every can
didate for membership was required to
pass a severe physical examination, in
which Il swimming contest was a con-
unique, and one of the shall nots" has
necessitated a revision of the member
ship roll, as it prohibits marriage or
matrimonial intentions among the
crew.
The San Diego Rowing club, one of
the leading organizations of the coast,
rendered the Z1acs the use of a siX-oar
single-scull barge, in which they be-
nn ma rnn r,S-f
time on Ladies' day, July 5, 1894, and
breaking all previous coast records. On
that day the Zlacs also distinguished
themselves by saving four of the crew
of the yawl Teaser, which capsized dur
ing the regetta. The club records show
that since then more than 20 persons
have been rescued from drowning by
the Zlacs, and it is notable fact that
there never has been the slightest ac-
cident to mar the other side of the
ledger. The Zlacs after time decided
to build their own barge. The splendid
eight-oared racing barge lilac was
launched August 3, 1896. 1t cost 5000
complete. and was all paid for by the
girls. none of whom is wealthy.
On August the Zlacs raced the
Nereid crew of eight, beating them over
a mile course by one boats length. and
on September 13 a second victory was
recorded against picked crew from all
the clubs, the prize being a splendid
French mirror now in use in the lilac
clubhouse. On March 25 of this year
occurred the great race between the
Zlacs and Columbias for the pennant of
the United States coast defense vessel
Monterey and the championship of the
Pnf
barges over n course of 6,GGO yards
straight down the bay. The presence
in the harbor of six of Uncle Sans big
war ships, commanded by Rear Admiral
Beardslee, and a whole ballroom full
of gallant naval officers, lent an added
interest to the occasion.-Chicago

The Newspaper As a College.

The opinion entertained by a great
many more or less prejudiced persons
that good newspaper Office is the best
school going seems to gain some justi-
fcation from Gel tain passages in the
newly issued volume of essays aud
cussing wherein modern education has
failed to do all that was expected of it,
DR.. Eliot says:
These, then, are the four things in
which the individual youth should be
thoroughly trained, if his judgment
and reasoning power are to be sys-
tematically developed: observing ac
curately; recording correctly; compar-
ing. grouping. and inferring justly;
and expressing cogently the results of
these mental operations.
To observe accurately and record
correctly are the particular things in
which every reporter for a good news
paper is drilled every day, and he does
not get far in his business without
getting practice, almost as regular, in
comparison: inference, and cogeut ex-
the best thing for the judgment and
reasoning power, we ought to be
thankful that SO. much of it goes to
equip the newspaper man for his mo-
mentous job of experimenting all
creation. There is no class of men in
the country whose state of mind is OF
more Importance TO us than the news
paper men. 1t is comfort to be able
to infer from the statements Of au, hor-
ity that there is no class that is in q
better way to have its mind developed.
Of course all pupils are not scholars,
and the fact that newspapers constant
ly print Inaccurate reports and draw
unwarranted inferences only means
that the learners do imperfect work
