Fire ON "a Train.

LATHROP, Cal, Sept. s-The Southern
Pacific express train, No. II, from San
Francisco to Los Angeles, was held UP at a
switch near Morrano at O'Clock this even

GIRL FALLS FORTY FEET.
TumbIes Out of "a Third-StOry window
and Is Not Injured.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Sept. S--Miss Dale AL
len, of Phelps City, Mo-, took an involun-
tary dive through space last night, landed
on the ground and rose to her feet laughing
and without a scratch. While sitting in a
third-story window of Christian Female Col
lege she lost her balance and fell out of the
opening: Her body struck on a projecting
roof and glancing like an arrow, landed on
the ground at least thirty feet from the
building and forty feet below the window
from which she fell. Her mother and sew
eral girls who were conversing with her
when she took the frightful plunge rushed
to her side, expecting TO find a mangled
corpse but she rose to her feet without aid
and declared smilingly that she was not in
the least injured. To-day she shows no evi-
denee of the accident and is not even
bruised from her fall.

massachusetts Prohibitionists.

BOSTON. Sept. 8.-The twenty-seventh
annual convention Of the Massachusetts
Prohibition party was held in the Young
Mems Christian Association Hall to-day.
The Rev. 3. c. Oates, of Beverly, was per-
manent chairman. The platform condemns
both of the old parties of the State both
containing, as asserted within their ranks
a large saloon element, and both for the
sake of political ascendency, or the greed
of office, are cowardly subservient to the
saloon parties. Such parties" the resolu-
tion continues, "are not only powerless to
remove the evils we deplore but a vote
given to them implies an Endorsement of
the license policy and involves political
alliance with rum sellers, distillers and
brewers, of which these parties are in a
measure composed; an alliance which fur
niShes to every true and consistent friend
of prohibition ample reason for a separate
political organization"
The following ticket for state officers was
chosen by the. convention: Governor Prof.
J. Bascom, of Willamstown; lieutenant
governor. Willard o. Wylie, of Beverley;
secretary OF state, Edwin Sawtelle, Of
Brocktcu; treasurer. Robert c. Habberly,
of Hyde Park; auditor, Herbert NJ. Small
of Templeton; attorney general, Wolcott
Hamlin, Of Amherst.

his head and said Il cannot answer that,
and 1 would rather not talk on Cuban af-
fairs until l make my report in Washing

In speaking of the case of Evangelna
Cisneros, the general said: "The young
woman is now confined in Casa Rechohidas.
She has never been tried, and do not
think that 1t was ever intended that she
should be banished. The stories of her ill
treatment are very much exaggerated, and
were it not for the hubbub which has been
raised about her the girl would probably
have been released long ago. In fact

back said that his trip to Havana was
purely on private business. Mr.. Fishback
said there was great deal of suffering
all over Cuba and that the condition of the
people was even worse than when he was
there last secretary to Commissioner
Calhoun, when the latter was investga-
ting the Ruiz case. He saw Miss Cisneros
at the Casa Rechohidas, and said the re-

complain when he was speaking to her.

small habit or habits that rob them of

The man who is thoroughly well and
