ADVERTISE.

If so great city as New York sees
the advantage of advertising, how
much more should a struggling and
comparatively unknown city as this
do in the same line. The Philadelphia
Ledger says: Merchants advertise
their goods individually, and ind that
advertising pays. The New York
Merchants Association, applying the
same method of fostering trade and
commerce, is engaged in advertising
the city as a whole, in the hope that
traders will be attracted there and
thus increase the business of the IN
diyidual merchants. The association
has already secured special rates and
distributed maps and circulars. Now
it proposes to go into something even
more original and extensive. 1t is
planning, at cost of upward of $40,-
600. the publication of book, law
ishly illustrated by Low, Blashfeld,
Cox, and other leading, artists, de-
scribing the spectacular and popular
features of the metropolis. This is
to be got ready for next season."
What have the Honolulu merchants
done in this line? Very little. In
stead of few thousand copies + q
very limited number OF pamphlets
they should have sent tens of thous
ands of copies abroad. The various
Consulates should be mines of infor
nation upon the Islands. Every
steamer should have them distributed
over the saloons. The overland rail
way trains should carry them on tn,
car seats. There was once an at
tempt at a Bureau of Information, but
it died a natural death. The bureau
should be revived, and the proper
channel for revival is through tn,
Chamber of Commerce. Such mat
ter is no government affair: it should
be carried out by the citizens for theil
own benefit.

In charity there are no national

charity is doubly bad, because ii not

on their way to New Orleans from the

Estrada Palma Says: "Nit."

Tomas Estrada Palma, the head Of
the Cuban junta in America, with
headquarters in New York, states
that, inasmuch as the Cubans are now
more than ever firmly resolved to ac-
cept nothing short of absolute indie
pendence, the offer of the new Span
ish ministry to grant autonomy can
have no effect in terminating the war.
"We are satisfied" says he, "that
the hour of complete freedom is at
hand, and this offer only confirms us
in the belief that Spain knows that
she has lost Cuba"

The burned structure was of wood,
three stories high, and was but recent
ly completed. The origin of the fire
is unknown. The Waterman saw the
flames bursting from the upper win
dows while he was in building some
distance away.
There was no fire fighting apparatus
at the school and the buildings being
over a mile from town no aid could be
rendered. In short time the entire
annex was enveloped in flames and in
less than twenty minutes from the
time the fire was seen the building
was destroyed. Nothing whatever was
saved. There were about twenty-five
other persons in the school who es-
capped in their night clothes with the
greatest difficulty.
Search for the bodies was COM

q few hours all had been recovered.
Each was burned beyond recognition.

Spaniards Honor Wcyier.

A special from Havana says: In
spite of Captain General Weyler's pro-
hibition notable demonstration took
place in Havana Wednesday in his
honor. General Weyler made speech
in which he announced that he did not
intend to resign.
The bourse was closed, as was also
the principal stores and the tobacco
and other manufactures. All the main
streets were gayly decorated.
Tho various professions united at
Central park and then moved together
to the plaza in front of the captain
generals palace, where as many as
10000 people gathered. Several bands
discoursed patriotic music. The plaza
and the thoroughfares leading into it
were densely crowded
A number Of Populations went to
the palace, where they were received
by the captain general.
They also expressed confidence that
the Madrid government was inspired
with altogether too high designs for
the welfare of the country to withdraw
the illustrious chief who has subiugat-
ed the instruction.
Captain General Weyler, after thank
ing the deputations for their assur-
ances, said he had accepted the COM
mand in difficult circumstances and
without conditions. The success of
the campaign could DO estimated and
properly appreciated by the country
by the visible facts.
In the course OF seven months four
important provinces had been nearly
pacified and he was confident Of being
able to pacify the two remaining prov
inces at the proper time with the forty
battalions ready for the task. He said
he expected to be able to pacify Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba at an
early date, "for the rebels there know
me and fear me and will not resist
me-"
"Still;" said the captain general. "I
believe the war should be ended with
war, here as everywhere else, and not
with shameful dealings, digraceful to
my nation, and all the more so in view
of the terrible condition of the rebels.
I have followed the policy of the illus.
trious Canoyas. would like to please
these who are today demonstrating
in my honor by remaining in
Cuba, but the delicate position
in which have beer placed has com.
PEELED me today to request the govern
ment to dispose of my position in
whatever way it may think convenient.
and however the matter may be deci-
ded, shall always be profoundly
grateful to the loyal inhabitants Of
Cuba, who in such eloquent terms
have expressed their absolute appro-
val of the policy 1 am following to
bring the war TO close"

BRIDE STOLEN BY RUFF|ANS.

Brutality TREATED.
ELEVEN OF THE GANG ARRESTED.
Shocking Crime Committed On the High
way In Kentucky--Pen.
atty Is Death.

All day Thursday the Jail at New
port, KY, across the river from Gin
cinnati, was surrounded by a mob.
Wednesday night Thomas Gleason,
lineman living in Covington, rushed
into the Newport police station shout
ing that his wife had been abducted.
Three months ago Gleason married
Bertha Raridon, aged eighteen. They
had started Wednesday evening for
Alexandria pike, back Of Newport, to
visit friend. A little later four men
rushed up. One man pointed pistol
at Gleason and ordered him to return
to Newport, while the others dragged
the woman to a hillside where eight
other men joined them and the victim
was repeatedly assaulted. She man
aged to reach the Keller residence, not
far away.
Gleason had been turned loose and
threatened with death if he returned.
Eleven suspects were arrested and
one by one identified by Mrs. Gleason.
The men are: Harry and Matt Minor,
Harry and Richard Buschmiller, John
Dudoffi, Hubert Mittler, Ed Hending,
William Schorle, John Shannon, Geo.
Greer and William Dumall.
Thursday morning crowds began to
assemble about the Jail. BY 2 o'clock
1000 men had assembled.
Gleason, the victims husband, was
called for by the crowd, desiring him
to lead them, but the police kept him
away.
Judge Helm had special jury i'm
panelled. The offense in Kentucky has
the penalty of death. The crowd was
informed the men would be tried at
once, but this had no effect. A special
train was ordered on the Ches.
apeake and Ohio railroad and
at 3 o'clock two furniture cars
backed up and the eleven prisoners
were hustled to the depot. The crowd
followed shouting, "Lynch them!'
and at the depot 5000 people gather
ed. The crowd became more and
more demonstrative, but the train
Numbered up. The prisoners were
hurried aboard and the start was
made without any violence. They
were taken to the Maysville Jail.
En- route to Maysville dad" Minor
said he would confess everything. He
said seven of the prisoners were inno-
cent and the rest guilty and that seve-
raj of the guilty ones had not been ar.
rested.
1t developed that Covington and |
Newport people devised a we'll laid
plan to lynch the eleven men, and that |
they would have carried it out had not |
the prisoners been removed.
Official advices received by wire
from Maysyille, Ky, are that ten
identified men arrived there safely, |
and were securely jailed. The sheriff |
of Campbell county, with deputies
and several Newport policemen, are at
Maysville.

Took Possession of Train But Dynamite
Failed to Work.
Bandits held up Chicago and Alton
express train Tuesday night at point
less than six miles from Kansas City.
The robbery is the third occurrence
OF the kind occurring on that road
within year.
Tho Chicago and st. Louis express,
which pulled out Of the union depot
ct Kansas City at $50 p. m, was
stopped by eight masked men at
Evanston, a suburban stopping place.
After securing complete possession
of the engine and baggage and express
cars, the bandits placed twenty-four
sticks OF dynamite upon the big
through safe and then lifted the smaller
way safe upon the top of it. They APP
piled the fuse and the match, but for
some reason the explosive did not 60

The robbers were afraid to return to
the express car, and, after waiting o
few minutes for the expected explo-
sion, they hurriedly left the place.
After some delay the trainmen sue

and throwing out the explosive, when
the journey toward st. Louis was re-

previous negotiations concerning in
dependence, autonomy and other
movements at the time Of the last long

The National Department of Labor
has just issued bulletin reporting on
the public bath-house system now SO
firmly established in Europe. 1t
shows that the movement TO provide
baths and wash.house facilities, which
originated in England in 1912, has
spread widely in Great Britain and on
the continent and has not yet spent its
force. In Germany the baths are
mostly of the shower-bath type, which
are the cheapest md most satisfactory
kind for popular use; and such baths
are recommended for this country.
