FREEDOM FOR CUBA IN SIGHT.
Its Belllgerency Will Now BE Recognized BY
Formal Order From Mckinley.


Formal Order From Mckinley.
Canton, Ohio, July H. President
Mckinley has decided 10 recognize the
belligerency of Cuba. He will issue
an executive order to that effect by
October /. This is positive, authentic,
certain.
The president said as much to Gen.
Woodford, the new minister to Spain.
This occurred at the dinner given by
President Mckinley in honor OF Gen.
Woodford at the white house a few
weeks ago. A warm, personal, conf
dental friend of the president was also
guest at the Woodford dinner.
From this confidential friend comes
the information that the presidents
mind is made up ON Cuba. There will
be no haste or precipitation about the
presidents action. He has carefully
studied the situation, and has been
helped by the best international law
yers.
THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
AT the Woodford dinner the presi-
dent told the new minister the policy
of the administration almost exa 'tly in
these words
"The government OF the United
States will maintain the same relative
position towards the governments and
people of the western continent that
the great powers of Europe do to the
minor governments and people Of the
eastern continent, namely:
"The United States government will
consideri il good public policy and will
consider it incumbent upon the United
States to prevent unnecessary wars on
this continent.
1t will consider war waged for the
purpose of maintaining q monarchical
power on this side of the ocean as war
unfriendly to American institutions
and against the Monroe doctrine in its
fullest sense"
The above is the position President
Mckinley will take in his recognition
of Cuban belligerency. Such will be
the substance of his letter of instruc-
tions to General Woodford.
All ministers to foreign nations take
along
FORMAL LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS
From the state department.. General
Woodford will do better. He will take
to Spain a letter written by President
William Mckinley, not dictated, but in
McKinley's own handwriting.
Those who heard the talk between
the president and the new minister al
the white house dinner do not look fol-
war with Spain.
The impression gathered at the presi
dents table was that Spain would lei
go of Cuba rather than have war with
the United States. The president
wants to give Spain plenty of time il
which to end the war, and Gen. Wood
ford will lose no time in stating thu
position Of the government. OF course
there is the thought in Ohio that tn,
presidents delay until October may b.
meant to have some influence on tn,
Ohio campaign. Even if that were so
the fact remains that action can not b.
taken until Minister Woodford has hai
parley with the Spanish government

Freaks of False Teeth,

Accidents will happen sometimes.
even to the veteran i'm official or So
cial life. But when q certain con-
CHEESEMAN'S eloquence grew so spir-
tied Wednesday that his false teeth
hewOut into space very few knew
1t except those sitting close to him,
and the adept manner i'm which he
caught them went to show that he
is familiar with their freaks.
III reminded a Kansan,of a man
wh0m he once knew, "a prominent
editor of one of the largest news
papers in his state. He had beauti-
full false teeth, but he didn't love
them, and when he had visitors and
got into reminiscent mood it was
his habit to remove his teeth and
play with them. In this manner
they were liable to get lost and
would be found in the most unex-
pected places. One day he absently
mailed them among a batch of let
ters, and the mischief was to pay
till he saw them advertised in his
own paper. After that he had his
name engraved on the solid gold
plate and felt that he was,quite safe.
When he talked very rapidly, his
teeth had startling habit of flying
out. He was picturesque impro-
wiser of profanity, and when he got
excited his false teeth would often
punctuate his remarks by their sud
den appearance. One day his unfor-
tunate foreman was thus attacked,
and the teeth struck him il one eye,
nearly binding him. He kept the
teeth, sued and recovered damages.

HOW CELLuLOiD is MADE,
Produced by the Combined Action

Pressure and Heat. -
Celluloid is made by the combined
action of pressure and heat, or with
the aid of solvents, in that case in
the cold. The'camphor is dissolved
in alcohol, as little as possible, and
the solution sprayed through rose
on to the pyroxylin, which must
be perfectly dry. A second layer
OF pyroxylin is added, moistened
again with camphor solution, and
SO on. The gelatinous lump is work.

draulic presses, which are doubly
steam jacketed. The mass is now
sawed into plates, which are dried at
about 95 degrees F. for week OF
two, and finally cut into smaller
pieces, from which the articles are
stamped. Further particulars are
difficult to obtain. The writer in
the Gummi Zeitung believes, how.

thirds of pyroxylin and one-third

an unpleasant smell and impairs the
strength of the product. The chem
