A large body Of Cuban rebels has

from the east. is said to be commanded
by Gen. CalixtO Garcia. Other reports
say Gen. Gomez, who short time ago
crossed the trocha from the west.
Joined Garcia's forces In Camaguey,
and together they started westward.
The report that the Cuban forces con-
sist Of the Oriental infantry. the Cana
guey cavalry and three batteries,

Arctic whal.r. In Hard Luck.

Sam Franciso. Oct 1O.-The wha1ers
that wintered in the Arctic last year
are having hard luck this season. Only
one Of them succeeded in killing a
whale this summer. and the feet that
will return this fall will bring only a
small revenue to their owners. The
ships were late in getting out of their
winter quarters on account OF the ice
packing TO the east ward. owing to the
prevailing westerly and southwesterly
winds. The ice. too. closed in early
about the wntering station at Her
schel island and the Mary d. Hume
WAS the only one OF the fleet that was
able to reach the bay close to the
Island. The others, the Jesse Freeman,
the Newport and the Fearless, were
caught in the ice when about thirty
miles from the station and they were
compelled to remain there all the win
ter. their crews being unable to reach
the land and enjoy the comforts of the
houses on the island that were erected
by the whaling companies few years
ago.

1t is estimated that in one city, Chi
cago, the coin-in-the-slot machines are
devouring more than two million dol
lars a year. There are two kinds of the
machines: Those that have a slot for
petty gambling operations. and those
that are supposed always to give some
thing In return for the slot Investment
Those who put money in the gambling
slot take their chances of getting some
thing out, and the makers and buyers
Of the machines take care that these
chances are none too good. Those who
drop coins in ostensibly vending slots
are not gamblers, but they are fire.
Qusntly dupes; the contrivance swal-
lows the coin. yields nothing worth
having, and seems to ask, What are
you going to do about IT." There is
practically no choice between them,
and both classes OF slot machines

Coal strike Still on.

Streator. ILL.,, Oct. 9.-The strike of
miners in northern Illinois is still on,
no agreement being reached by the
convention Of operators and miners
held here. The delegates voted unani-
mously not to accept less scale than
the price adopted at the Springfield
convention. The operators positively
declined to consider that scale, but of
fered an advance of 4 cents over the
scale adopted here last May, which
would be 56l1a cents for screened coal.
They argued that they could not pay
the price asked and retain business.
The decision means apparently that
none Of the large shippers In the
northern Illinois district will be worked
and 10000 miners will remain idle.

In the latter part Of last month the
Duke of York, eldest son OF the Prince
Of Wales. spent several days in Ireland
with his wife. The royal pair were
given an enthusiastic ofIicial and pop

Unusual interest was felt. because 1t
was the first time In ten years that any
member Of the royal family had visited
Ireland, and the Irish people are sensi-

The last royal visit was immediately
after the jubilee which celebrated the
queens fifty years reign. and the Wis
itors then were the Duke of York and

The Treasury Department will imme-

courts for judicial Interpretation Of
the question of when the Dingley tariff
took effect. The department. acting on
the opinion OF the attorney general.
ruled that all goods taken out Of bond

were subject to fhe new duties. The
Board OF General Appraisers, however.
in an opinion by General Appraiser
Somerville. took the opposite side by
holding that the act was not effective
until 4 p. III. that day.
Should the opinion of the general ap-
praisers be upheld. the treasury will
be compelled to refund the excess Of
duties upon all goods entered before
the hour mentioned. By upholding the
opinion the courts will also compel the
government to refund the seven and
One-half cents rebate Oh each beer
stamp sold on that day. II the law did
not go into effect as to customs duty
until Saturday II follows that the reve-
nue. clauses did not become operative
until the same hour.

D,rrEREncEoF MANY MILLIONS
The Accounts of Brooklyn Are Found to
He In Very Had Shape,

New York. Oct S.-Comptroller
Fltch's expert accountants, who have
been at work investigating the rec
ortis and accounts in Brooklyn pre-
paratOry to consolidation, have found
discrepancies in accounts amounting
to $5,OOO.OOO.
The records OF the towns of Flat
lands, Flatbush. New Lots, New
Utrecht and Gravesend. which the Off
cials OF these towns claim were turned
over to the comptroller and CORPORA
ton counsel OF Brooklyn when they
were merged into Brooklyn, cannot be
Found, and their absence interferes
with a proper investigation. There
are disa greements between the books
OF the comptroller of Brooklyn and
those of the registrar of arrears. In
the department of arrears there Is the
utmost confusion in the records. The
ledgers are some 253 in number, con
taining over 100000 accounts, are not
In balance. and apparently have never
been balanced. and while on January
1. 1897. the balance to the debt of the
registrar Of arrears on the books Of
the comptroller was SS.415. lbs. the
balance carried by the registrar of ar
rears. as representing taxes and as
easements In arrears. was $3.714.826
and while the general ledger shows
that arrears of taxes prior to 1893
have been overpaid $17.253. the ward
ledgers Disclose many items of unpaid
taxes.
Omcials Of Brooklyn deny that there
b. or has been. any makeaance, and
aileEe that the discrepancies reported
by Comptroller Fitch's experts are due
In large part to the defective system

cost of planting. cultivating. irrigating

estimated at $16.5O. The yield is from
twelve to twenty tons an acre on new
land and rises with cultivation. The
returns vary from $65 to $I5 per ton,

A MISSIONARY MEDICINE.

Cleanliness begins within. II . man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Goiliness. A
constipated sinner is a stencil in the nostrils
Of the Deity. A man whose food sours In
his stomach. and whose liver is leaden,
can't help looking at the world hatefully
with jaundiced eye, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanli-
ness Of person begets cleanliness Of thought.
Cascarets, Candy Cathartic are the mis-
sionary medicine which purifies mems
table, mild and positive. they clean out the
intestinal canal, stimulate the liver and
strengthen the bowels. Then a man enjoys
again feeling of charity and brotherly love
for his fellows and recommends others to
take Cascarets and be as happy ~ he.
