Congressman-Elect OF Pam
sylvanla Returns From =
Trip to Cuba.
Believes Spain Cannot Win
and That America Should
Take a Hand.
Cubans Are Struggling for the
Same Rights Our Fathers
Did in '76.

GREENsBuRG, Pa, Jan. 5. Congress.
man-elect Edward E. Robbins, who has
just returned from Cuba, says: sit; is
impossible to get reliable news direct
from Cuba because of the censorship
exercised over all matter, even private
letters. The cause for which the Gu
bans are struggling is the same for
which our fathers fought in our war
for independence. The Cubans have
no voice in their government and there
is no such thing as jury trial there.
Taxation is unbearable. In 1894 $46,-
OOO,O 900 was wrung from the unfortu.
nate Cubans and carried to Spain, and
the peasants and farmers are unable to
stand the strain, hence the rebellion.
Weylers Plan Is DETERMINATION.
SIN the entire island there is not a
Cuban or foreigner, except Spanish,
who is not in sympathy with the revo-
lutionary movement. The cities are
under control Of the Spanish but the
whole country is under control Of the
insurgents. The plan Of General Wey-
Ter is not to subdue the Cubans but to
exterminate them. ssa f3s$i$$
"Spain cannot conquer Cuba. The
time has come when delay on the part
of the United States is unr easonable in
the matter of protecting the citizens Of
the United States now confined in
Cuban prisons and also protecting
American property and the 10000, 600
of American capital invested on the
island. This is duty we owe orr citi-
liens. We also owe duty to human
ity to stop the cruel slaughter now &c.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 5.-The Germania
bank, state institution capitalized at
$500, 900, with liabilities of over 49,.
600, 900, did not open fer business in
the morning. Heavy Withdrawals for
several days was the cause. The sus-
pension of the Germania caused runs
on several other banks and at 2 o'clock
the Allemannia and West Side banks
had closed their doors. The former is
capitalized at $500, 900 and the latter at
800, 900. The suspension of the Ger
mania and Allemannia banks caused
something of run, as is always the.
case, on the savings banks. These in
situations paid all demands for time
and then required depositors to give
the 60 days notice Of withdrawal.

There are probably $50 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria, the
best of which are at Vienna, Berlin
and Leipsic. A mar who wishes to
become a chef must begin at the very
bottom of the ladder-at peeling pota-
toes-and work up, round by round, to
the top, says the New York World. A
course of schooling as strict as that
of any polytechnic school in this coun-
try must be followed for four years be-
fore the student can get a diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions are
given in which as many as 200 chefs
take part. The chef who was employed
at the white house by Grover Cleve-
land, and who, it is rumored, may be
again, has a gold medal which was pre-
scented to him by the Empress Freder-
lex for excellence in cooking, a silver
medal given by the king of Saxony, a
diploma from the queen of Austria and
numerous other marks of appreciation
and honor won in competitive contests
in cooking. 1t is not to be wondered
at that European cooks command ex-
tr%aordinary salaries in this country.

One Step at n Time:

In accomplishing your days work
you have simply to take one step at a
time. TO take that step wisely is all
that you need think about. If | am
climbing a mountain to look down may
make me dizzy; to look too far up may
make me tired and discouraged. Take
no anxious thought for the morrow.
Sufficient for the day-yes, and for
each hour in the day-is the toll or the
trial thereof. There is not a child of
God in this world who is strong
enough to stand the strain of today's
duties and all the load of tomorrow's
anxieties piled upon the top of them.
Paul himself would have broken down
if he had attempted the experiment.
We have a perfect right to ask our
heavenly father for strength equal to
the day: but but we have no right to
ask him for one extra ounce of strength
for anything beyond it. When the
morrow comes, grace will come with
it sufficient for it's tasks or for its
troubles.-Sel.

have a quiet, dignified tone that it's use
suggests. If through any oversight the
roo is dark and gloomy, light colors
must perforce be chosen, but under
ordinary circumstances a rich, warm
tone is far preferable, especially as it
is the only one that can be in harmony
with the books that are to play such an
important part in the furnishing.
Reds and browns are the most pleas
ing colors, but these may be shaded
to light fawn color, or terra Gotta or
warm yellow if necessary. Paneled
ceiling and hardwood floor, the latter
covered with rich oriental rugs, if
means permit. OF course these are
not essential, some of the most de-
lightful libraries have merely papered
ceilings and floors covered with cheap
er carpets or dark mattings.
In a new house where everything is
planned from the beginning the prob
lem of fitting the library is compare
lively simple. Instead of movable
bookcases, which are always cumber-
some, low shelves should be arranged
around the walls as permanent fixtures
or they may be carried up to the cell
ing to fill odd corners. Dust is a great
enemy of books, and to keep this out
is the excuse many people give for
sticking to the old-fashioned way OF
having book cases with glass doors, but

Two Danish officers. Messrs. Olouf-

journey of exploration to the Pamir

They have brought back with them

COWS being no larger than a European

as a small poodle. The use of money
is unknown to them, and their only
trade consists in the bartering of furs.
Women are bought at the rate CT five
or six COWS or fifteen sheep apiece.
These natives are very timid, and on

flight. Messrs. Philipsen and Oloufsen

their voyage they occasionally reached

Gladstone and Bismarck, each with
their more than fourscore years, pre-
sent a contrast of which the whole
world takes note. Recent utterances
attributed to Bismarck make him de-
clare that his existence is no longer
of any use; that he has lost interest
in forestry and agriculture; and most
remarkable Of all, that little by little
politics tire him. In short, he says his
illness is want of the joys of life" No
more of that splendid force and mighty
ease in doing great things. Restless
ness and lamenting, and acrid criticism,
too, are conspicuous features of these
last years of his wonderful life. Glad
stone, on the other hand, is still strong
to labor, high in courage, benignant in
spirit. A noble example of broad sym
pathy and surprising activity shines
far and clear from the serene heights
of a lifetime given conscientiously to
Cod and to duty.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

this is known and appreciated by the
people is shown by the fact that of late
years a very large proportion of the
houses built contain a room set apart
for that purpose. 1t is we'll within the
memory that when a house contained
ton to the dining room, one was called
front parlor" and the other back
parlor," or more euphonious, a parlor
and reception room. At the present
time, however, one of the rooms is al
most invariably dubbed the library"
even if it only has a beggarly array of
books. Indeed it is not uncommon for
a house of any pretensions to have a
study in addition to a full fledged
library.
1t is meet and fitting that the library
should be a general sitting room and
the place where the best of the house
life centers. Most plans that are
drawn now, give the library one of the
choicest locations in the house, and
full advantage is taken of this fact, in
the fitting and furnishing of the room.
Inasmuch as the library is most freely
used in the evening, it is not essential
that the room should be the most boun-
tifully provided with natural light, but
still the architect has given sufficient
windows, if he understands his calling
so that the furnishing of the room may
