A COLORED BOYS CONSCIENCE.
IT PRIcKED HIM so THAT HE
COULD NOT TAKE PROF. GEN
TRY'S HARNESS VERY FAR.


Conscience brings shame home to a
large majority of people, and one of
these was colored man in the employ
of Professor Gentry, who gave an ex-
hibition with trick dogs last week at
Fourteenth and Market streets. On
Thursday night last the mG,l was order
ed to take the ponies to the travelling
car, which he did. He never came
back.
The next morning one of the other
employees was sent to the car to hunt
for the missing groom, but he could not
be found.
The horses were got out of the car
and taken 10 the tent to be prepared
for parade. When the grooms went to
look for the parade harness it was
missing There were thirteen sets in
all, and they were valued highly. The
police were notified and Professor
Gentry swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of the man. In the meantime a
search was being made in all of the
pawn shops along the coast for the har-
ness, but it was evident that the groom
made good the hiding place. After a
long search the harness was located in
an open lot near the tent, where the
groom found it too big OF job to carry
them, and dropped them in the lot. The
thtet has not been seen since.

A doctor knows that certain remedies

When a disease seems to have no remedy
the doctors pronounce it incurable. All the

Consumption seemed for long time with

tobacco and sugar, and the woes of the
natives began. Under a system of cruelty
and oppression the gentle aborigines d.
minished so rapidly that negro slaves
were introduced, and that eventually led
to the internecine strife which has made
one of the fairest spots on earth the home
of pestilence and crime and savagery in
warfare, the contemplation of which
sickens civilized world.
After invasions by the French, English
and Dutch, and various claims as to the
ownership of the island, Cuba was re-
stored to Spanish rule in 1853. A new
native population now sprung up. and in
1870 Las Casas, whose memory is re-
vered by Cubans to this day, became
captain general of Cuba. Its ports were
opened TO the world, and great public i'm
proyements were effected. Despite the
dawning of prosperity, however, and the
representation of the island In the Madrid
Parliament, several successive outbreaks
occurred, eliminating in the famous
"Biack Eagle conspiracy of 1920. Good
governors were few, and from Velasquez
down to WeyIer, they were vested with
absolute power. Insurgents were burned
alive, intolerance throve, and the merci-

An Admirable Purpose.

A number Of Chicago business men
have recently united in a strictly nom
partisan association named the ma
tional Business League" with the pur-
pose Of collecting and digesting as much
as possible of the most trustworthy in
formation touching all considerable
branches of business and their rela-
tons to each other; of keeping closely
in touch with Congress and Congress
sional committees, thereby having the
earliest advices as to all bills proposed
or introduced which may affect, one
way or another, the business interests
of the country; to proceed on the basis
that no legislation should be enacted
for the benefit Of any special interest
when the effect promises to be dam
aging tolothers, but that the good of the
whole is always for the good of the in
dividual; to promote such legislation as
seems, on careful examination, to be in
the interest of general business activity
and prosperity and to oppose such as
seems antagonistic thereto; to see that

the league as to whether to favor or OPP
pose it.; and to entirely let alone all pro-
posals for laws which touch no bust
ness interests. The league includes
business men and men of substance and
of business ambition of all sorts.
Many of the great trusts and business
interests keep agents constantly In
Washington, each I'm aid of its special
interest, but this is the first effort ever
made to protect the interests of the
whole business community from hasty,
ill-considered, and ill-advised legisla-
ton. The league Is managed primarily
by an executive committee chosen from
among the prominent business men Of
the city. Moses =. Handy is chairman.
Ferdinand w. Peck was made Presi-
dent of the league, f. NJ. Phelps Vice
President, f. G. Keith Treasurer, John
w. Ella Attorney, and G. A. Gilbert
Secretary.

Commenting on Mr.. Bryan's contin-
ded complaint about business condi-
lions, the Indianapolis Journal says.
''Mr. Bryan has never made the ac-
quaintance of what are called facts.
He has little use for them in his bust
ness. He does not know, and does not
want to know, that the output Of the
iron furnaces has increased so per cent
since the day that the country was as
sured Of his defeat. Except In seasons
of depression 1t is not probable that he
ever looks into commercial or indus
trial journal. If he had been doing so
he would have known that the cotton
factories which suspended. last summer
,opened after his defeat with n full
force of employees. About two weeks
ago an extensive carpet factory in New
York called its 5000 employees to their
places. He has no stomach for such
statistics as show that for several years
there have not been so few failures

lille bullets. though deadly in their eff
feet, are comparatively easy to stand
against 1t requires superhuman nerve,
however. to face a healthy dynamite pro-
jectile. and il is no wonder that the Span
ish troops have been invariably defeated
when called upon to make a stand against
such weapons. Army officers are watch
ing the war in Cuba with great interest,
as the employment of dynamite by the
Cubans has satisfied the military mind of
the value of this explosive for offensive
purposes.
& Despite her financial embarrassment
Spain has recently done relatively more
than any European power, with the ex-
ception of Great Britain, to strengthen
her navy. At present there are four tor
pedo-boat destroyers in the hands of
builders. The first two have recently
completed their official trials, and these
have been most successful i'm all respects.
The dimensions of the vessels are 22Ox
20 feet, and the engines are triple expan-
sion. developing 5000 horse power. The
engines at the trials, both in the measured
mile and in the three hours continuous
steaming test, worked smoothly and with
no heating. The internal appliances are
of the most up-to-date character special
attention being paid to what is the general
defect in all torpedo craft, namely, ven
tilation.
The encounters at Bocas del Toro, Pal
marito, Palmiros, Canasi, Manut Mogate
and Tagnasco were fast succeeding de-
velopments of the Cuban campaign direct
ly after the declaration of independence.
but these were mere skirmishes COM
pared to the events of the past year. The
splendid march of Gomez and Maceo
across the island from Santiago to Pinar
del Rio, the fierce fights within cannon
shot of Havana. the constant destruction
of the trochas, were brilliant achieve
ments that terrified the encompa ssed
Weyler, until they eliminated in tie

new year, however, the situation seems
just as complex and undetermined MS II

is credited with population of 100000
souls. There are several short railways,
in the aggregate covering some 500 miles.
Cuba abounds In citrus fruits. There
are peerless orange, lemon and lime
groves; cocoanuts, cocoanut oil, cocoa,
coffee, india rubber, tobacco--these COM
modities form the base of supplies easily

sections boast immense forests of ma
