When we hear u merchant say adver-
Using does not pay we form conclusion
on two reasons. First, that he has never
tried it. Second, that ii he has, he has
been the victim OF some advertising fakir
and his ad did not reach the eyes OF the
public, and of course he could not reap
any benefit.
The wide-a-wake, progressive mer-

FideIfo Literary Club.
The Fidelio Literary Club met at the
home of Miss Camille Levy Cotton
street and criticised Lord Byron, both as
: man and poet. Some very bright re-
mark and witty criticisms were made.
Among the young ladies who belong to
the club are: Misses Clara and Emma
Florsheim, Louise Asher, Hanna Kahn,
Lottye Calm, Camille Levy, Sara Davis,
Fannie Moch, Ray Beiach, Bella Bath,
Carrie Levy, Annie Gall, Flora Dreyfus,
Carrie Florsheim and Sadie Beiach.
One remarked: Undoubtedly Lord
Byron expected at one time to be king OF
Greece. It would have gratified his van
ity, but would he have ruled with dignity
and Judgment" -.
Some of the ladies seemed sure of this
although all admired his verses about
Greece, and it's frantic efforts for liberty.
The conclusion arrived at. was. shat
Lord Byron was a man of thought, senti-
ment and action.
One of the ladies said he was man
Of rather bad action, so far as she could
judge from his personal history. Miss
- said she did not blame Lady By

Another young lady quoted "Fare Thee
Well, and II Forever, Still Forever, Fare
Thee Well" saying that they were most
touching lines, aud one could not forget
the circumstances under which they were
written.
Miss L. said that when Byron could
think of nothing else he would indulge
In passionate regrets about his old sweet
heart, being as he was a man of many
lovers. She therefore had no confidence
In his sincerity. ..
A lady in the crowd declared that she
thought Byron's faults We're those OF
heredity; his father, his mother, his
uncle, "Foulweathcr Jack"- and others
OF his relatives being wicked, therefore
little better could be expected of a man
who, withall his faults, was genius and

A LOVING CUP
Presented to Capit. Romeyn By Members of His Company-He Is Now On
 Trial By a Court Martial

Atlarata, Ga, April 29.-The trial of Capt. Henry Romeyn, before the general courtmar,ial, convened ait Fort McPher- osn, was continued today. The day was taken up in h.uring evidence in rebuttal of what has been irtraduced by the ac- cused officer. Very little advance was made, however, as there were numerous objections to different GuEs lions, and in each instance the court-martiai room was necess arlly cleared for consultation. This required a great Gcal Of time, and consequently delayed proceedings. Cap.. Walks, Bailey Forbes, Ti,ford, Ranial Il and Lieut.. Borden. all of Mcl'herson, ,es- tified that they had seen no ostracism of Lieut.. or Mrs. O'Bilen, or any public dis favor. The whole case seems to rest on the character of Mrs. OBrien, and much evidence has been heard on both sides of the question. From present indica- tions, the trial will not end before next Monday.
 Today CarE. Romeyn was presented with solid silver loving cup by the members of the company, which is Com pany G of the Fifth Infantry, United States army. The gift was peculiarly ap- prcpriate, coming as it does while the officer is on trial for two serious charges On the cup was the following inscription:

Cubans to Have Majority in the Coun-
 ell of Administration.

Cubans to Have a Majority in the Coun-
 cil of Administration.
 Washington, April 29.-The announce ment from Madrid that the queen regent has signed a decree applying the reform laws to Cuba is considered by officials here as a realization of the plans under negotiation for many months to give Cuba an autonomious form of govern ment or home rule! The home rule plan about to be applied was made public in detail by Minister Dupuy de Lome, on Feb. 16 last. A council of administra- ton is created for the government Of the affairs of the island. This council will be in the na ture Of a parliament made up of thlrty-one members a n1aior- ity of them being elected by the Cubans and a lesser number appointed by the throne. The council of administra 5ion is given practically supreme control of the island, subject to certain supervisory authority by the home government. One of the most important features of the plan is that allowing Cuba to revise her tariff schedules. The reform law was passed March 15 1895, but never applied to Cuba owing to the uprising. On last New Years day it was promulgated by the queen regent and gazetted in Ha- vana as a concession of the New Year. It's actual application was still withheld, however, until Gen. Weyler could an nounce that the island was pacified. The decree signed by the queen today ap- pears to be the last step toward actually applying the law to Cuba.

SITUATION SERIOUS
And Levee Commission Called Upon for Money to Build Them High
 Enough.

Helena, Ark, April 29.-The situation along the river front is serious. On Tuesday the levee commission wired for estimates as to closing up the breaks in this district in cTder that the Mississippi commission which meets in St. Louis might be promptly advised of the situa- tion. Maj. Purvis went to Williamson crevasse and found that the water was running through the break thirty feet deep and that the current had cut a channel through the river bank to Long Lake inside. This makes q channel thirty feet deep and 1 400 feet wide. The officer at once reported to the directors of the Cotton Belt levee district and the infor- mation alarmed them as nothing else connected with the flood has. No crop can be raised in this district unless this break is closed very soon, and the work means the expenditure of large sum of money at q time when they are con- fronted with an empty trasury. A meet ing of the directors of the Cotton Belt leyee district was held, at which promi- nent planters were present. Maj. Pur- wis gave it as his opinion that the crevasse could be closed for about $15,- 900 within two weeks He finished his soundings too late to be present at the St Louis meeting of the river commission. today and dispatch was sent to the manager of the Lrop Mountain railway asking him to appear before the cornmis- sion and ask them for an appropriation of $35,00 out of the funds at their dis posal to close the Williamson, Hubbard and Orcutt breaks.

HAVING A VERY EASY TIME
The National Lawmakers Meet and Adjourn UNTIL NEXT MON DAY Few Minor Resolutions Offered by Senator's House Session Lasted Just Seven Min
 utes- Simpsons Usual Protest

Washington, April 29.@The question whether business was to be done by the senate this week was raised by Mir. Pet tigrew, silver republican, of South Da- ! kota, when the senate met today.
 MT. Pettigrew proposed that the sen ate direct conference on the Indian appropria tion bill.
 MT. Chandler, republican, of New Hampshire, gave notice that he would object to any 'business being done, be- cause there was a general understand ing that none should be taken up during the absence of many senators in New York to attend the ceremonies of dedi- eating the Grant monument. Other senators protested that there had been no such agreement made.
 ] message from the president trans hitting the report of the commission to adjust the boundary line between the United States and Mexico west of the Rio Grande, was read. Then MT. Quay presented resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior for information as to whether the lease of Seneca oil lands had been made in the usual man. ner and whether there had been any cor rupton. It was agreed to without de- bate. 4 e.I
 MT Vest, democrat, of Missouri, offered a resolution for comprehensive inquiry by the finance committee of the senate into the cause of and remedies for the Mississippi f1ood and said he would call it up at the next meeting of the senate
 MT. Pettigrew followed with a reso- lution calling on the commissioner of labor for information as to the cost of producing 1000 feet (bcar6 measure) of white pine lumber the answer to in- clude the cost of wood in the woods and in the mill both in the United States and Canada. This was adopted with the ad dition of a question proposed by MT. Frye, republican. of Maine, concerning the cost of stumpage.
 A resolution was offered by MT. Nor gan, democrat, of Alabama, and adopted requesting the president, if not incom- patble with the public interests, to trans init to the senate all correspondence with Consul General Lee relating to the war not heretofore published.
 At 12:32 p. m. the senate adjourned un- til Monday.

was imminent, nor. he added, can any one wonder that the Boers are arming after the Jameson attempt.
 In conclusion he expressed the hope that Great Britain did not and would rot entertain such a suicidal and disgraceful policy as the indictment of a race war in South Africa.
 The budget of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will probably prove popular. Although there is no reduction in taxation numer- ous postal telegraph reforms have been promised, reforms long and urgently needed which will be a real boon to the community. All such immediate inter eSts, however, are completely over shadowed by the excited debate on the South African situation. Sir William Vernon Harcourt's sudden and vehement attack caused a commotion on the tory side. Mir. Balfour sent MT. T. w. Rus sell to bring MT. Chamberlain into the house. When the colonial secretary ar rived he was furious and did nothing to conceal his rage.
 Sir William Harcourt was saying IS MT. Chamberlain entered the chamber:
 T have said this was a war plot; re- peat it In his presence. This was a war plot. Q war plot which misscd fire"
 Mr Chamberlain .snatehed up piece Of paper and Mr. Balfour and Mr. Goshen, first lord Of the admiralty, rapidly told him what had passed, while he made notes eff Mir HarcouTt's phrases. The excitement of the house was maintained at white heat with cheers and counter cheers tlio GGhout both speeches.
 MT. Balfour did his best to calm mat discussion of the proposed grant al the earliest possible date.
 The house then emptied into the lobby to discuss the scene.

IN THE HOUSE.

The house was in session seven min utes today The journal was not read. The objection that there was no quorum present was interposed by MT. Simp- son, populist. of Kansas. whefeupon MT. Payne, republican, of New York, made a motion to adjourn.
 MT c. w. Stone, republican. of Penn sylvania, who was in the chair, held that an adjournment under the order of the house made last Friday would be un- til Monday next. MT Simpson pro- tested vainly that it was unconstitu- tional to adjourn for more than one day without quorum and he asked an oppor- tunity to be heard. But the irregular order'' was loudly demanded and Mr. Payne's motion was put and carried "A to 14 most of the democrats. voting with the republicans.
