To one bowed down an angel came.
Cnspher'd with light. and heart afame,
AdoWn the skies "A message brought,
To cheer the way with sorrow fraught.
Look up" she said. do not be sad,
Rejoice and let thy heart be glad;
Trust in the Fathers boundiess love,
Who watches DER thee from above,
And has prepared a home for thee,
enduring as eternity.
Thy loved ones there await for thee.
To welcome with sweet minstre,sy;
With words OF love and songs of praise
They'll guide thee through the fiow'ry
ways,
triumphant through the open gate.
Where peace and JOY for thee await
Within thy home-forever blest
With skies serene and tranquil rest"
Thus the angel with lustrous eyes.
Then vanish'd through the azure skies.

LET DOWN THE BARS.
Federation of Women's Clubs Decide tn
Admit the Men.

Jacksonville. Ills, Oct. 22.-At the
morning meeting Of the State Federation
Of Women's clubs the first order was re-
ports Of clubs. Quite a stir was created
by the report of Mrs. Schippen Of the
Free Bath and Sanitary league Of Chi
cago She announced a new establish
ment with sixty showers patronized by
hundreds, and declared that they meant
to have Chicago clean. The Women's
Press association showed great advance
ment and among the Oldest and most
useful Of the organizations.
When the matter of revising the con-
stitution came up there was a decided
breeze over the proposition to rule out
clubs of both men and women, and the
body was almost evenly divided, and
some lively discussion ensued, but the
mems friends prevailed and they will
be admitted. A hot argument arose over
the eligibility of officers to reelection.
and amendments were offered thick and
fast but the chair ruled the members
admirably. and everything was man
aged smoothly. There was strong SEN
timent against anything savoring Of
rings. and by a large majority the fed

SCHEME OF GENERAL wEYLER.
IL Is Not Believed in Washington That He
VIII OpenIy Revolt.

Washington, Oct. 22-The state de-
partment has no information, confirma-
tory or otherwise Of the press dispatch
from Havana that General Weyler is
preparing to resist his government when
the time comes for him to step down and
out. At the Spanish minister's a pro-
fesson Of ignorance on the subject meets
inquiries. There are, nevertheless, many
indications of an official character sup
porting the story. Advices from several
sources go TO show that Weyler has been
energetically working under the surface
to develop a revolutionary spirit among
the volunteers. a force which is concen-
trated in Havana and numbers 10000.
Definite tidngs as to Weyler's actions
and his intentions are anXiously awaited
in Washington. General Weyler was
to have sailed for Spain "Wednesday.
He now announces that he will sail Oct.
30 and meantime he remains in command
of the island.
The Spanish minister in Washington Is
one Of Weylers strongest friends and
has consistently upheld the man in his
blood thirsty policy. In diplomatic and
army circles the opinion is common that
Weyler will not carry his hatred or the
Sagasta ministry to the point of open
revolt. but that he will foster a spirit
of discomfort among his soldiers and
leave them in as thoroughly demoralized
a state as possible thus making the
path Of his successor a rocky one.

Mission Proved Unsuccessful.

London, Oct 22.-Colonel John Hay,
the United States ambassador. and the
officials of the British foreign Office de-
cline to furnish the press with the text
of Great Britain's reply to the sugges-
tior OF the United States monetary COM
missioners. The United states commits
sioners recognize that their mission has
been unsuccessful, though they will not
admit it, as the answer Of Great Britain
says that country will be glad to re-
ceive other propositions, and the COM
missioners have decided. as a matter Of
form. to return to France and consult
the French government as to whether
fresh proposals are desirable. But 1t is
not expected that anything will result
from their visit to France

LOOKING UP THE FACTS
President Mckinley and Probable
Cuban Policy.
LITTLE OVER A MONTH TO DECIDE.

The President Beiievs That Spain Is Pre-
pairing To Evacuate the Island Her Alb
solute Inability To Make Further War
Loans Is Proof of Her Intentions-Not
Believed i'm Washington That General
Weyler VIII Openly Revolt.
Washington, Oct. 22.-With little over
a month before congress reassembles.
President Mckinley has found himself
confronted with the immediate neces-
sity OF determining what Cuban policy
he will recommend in his annual mes
sage, and to assist him in this rather
difficult task he has lately been gath
ering news from all manner of sources
Of information as to the real conditions
which prevail on the island. The cause
of his inquiry is a conviction in the
presidents mind that the end is near.
and that even now the Spanish govern
ment is preparing to relinquish it's
grasp on this, its last western posses
sion. There are many reasons which
contribute to Mr. McKinley's belief that
the Spanish cabinet is anxious to ter
inmate the war, even at the cost OF
complete surrender. Chief among these
is the bankrupt condition Of the Span
ish treasury.
Spain's Dire Situation.
It is well known that the Spanish
cabinet has for months been in the
direst straits for the necessary funds
to pay it's soldiers and buy supplies.
The change of ministry has not facili-
tated the negotiations of further loans
In, faa hn ~ N
bankers has been shaken and the be-
lief in the success of the Spanish arms
has steadily lessened Talk of auton-
omy is believed to be a cloak which
masks a real desire to surrender Span
ish diplomacy is largely based on de-
ceit and the very open and loud avow-
ais of Premier Sagasta that the CubGns
are to be Modified by generous offers
Of autonomy are believed to pave the
way for a surrender of the island into
the hands of the insurgents. The pres
dent is, therefore, called upon to de-
eide whether to permit matters to take
their course or to risk the radical course
Of firm Intervention in behalf Of the suf-
fering native population.
Without Official Information.
In this lemma he lad hoped fer as
sistance from the diplomatic negotia-
tions conducted through Minister Wood
ford; but the fall Of the Conservative
ministry rendered it impossible for him
to receive the reply which he asked to
be given before Oct 80, and so he has
been obliged to outline his message
without official information on this
score. In his recommendation to con-
gress he may be expected to call at
tention to the diplomatic steps taken by
the administration, and also to the rad
ical changes produced by the recall of
Captain General Weyler, and the offers
of autonomy. On these grounds 1T
seems more than probable that McKin-
ley will recommend further allowance
of time in which Cuban independence
may be achieved without danger OF war
or a departure from the American poi

STICKS TO HORSES.
Parson Afney Resigns His Pastorate to
Raise Fine Stock.


Niles, Mich. oct. 22.-Rev. J. w. Ar
ney familiarly known as Parson Ar
ney has made a public confession that
he is a back-slder and says he never
intends 20 preach the gospel again. Mr..
Arney was a Methodist preacher but
was asked to withdraw from that church
because he insisted on owning race
horses. He then began preaching for
the Congregationalists and filled an ap-
pointment at Lansing. From there he
went to Otsego two years ago. His
love for a good horse has not lessened
and he has owned many fast equines
since his residence there. He closed his
pastorate Sept. last and has dealt
quite extensively In horses since that
time.
At a reception lately he was called
upon for a speech He said he was a
backslider and did not hold to the same
faith he had for years past. He did
not propose to be bound by any ortho-
doX church and proposes to be free
man. He said he had a vision of better
things. The churches, he declared, were
not doing their duty or there would
be no use for the numerous secret Or
