TOuph Times.

Affairs in Cuba are becoming worse
as the time passes. There is so much
misery here that one becomes Case
hardened, but such scene as happen
ed N the train recently from Artem esi
to Havana cOmpels sympathy. A wo-
man with her three children had been
given passage to the city. Before the
little family arrived at Havana two Of
the children were dead, and the third
one died on the streets of Havana.
The government claims they were vic
Tins of yellow fever, but the children
were actually starved to death, and
were given their passage to the city
that they might find bread. Mothers,
with thousands more, are sleeping on
the streets at night, their wan and
pinched faces showing the struggle
they are undergoing to keep life in
tn cir bodies. In the smaller towns the
suffering is even worse than here. The
food is scarce enough here, but in the
country towns there is absolutely
nothing to live on, and that the
Spanish soldiers are more cruel thar
in the city, and the machete is liable
to be given when they are approached
by these starving unfortunates begging
for bread Elk.

Brave Words of an Indian,

states that he feels his government will
have to give away to the dems nds made
by the Dawes commission. He says:
'In demanding these changes of US,
the government of the United States
really believes that it will be beneficial
to US, by promoting Us TO a higher
plane of civilization. But as Indians
we look at it from a different stand
point. To give up all of our cherishe d

us. 1t is inevitable and we cannot

Melon Sugar.

"There is at the eastern base of the

sand, on which nothing will grow ex-
C pit melons, only two being al

the melons are gathered they are
slashed upon with big knife, and a
wooden scoop empties the pulp into a
vessel where the juice is expressed like
maple sugar in the Atlantic states
The sugar sells at remunerative prices,
is light colored and sweet. Red pulp
melons give dark sugar: white pulp
is therefore preferred. We have in

AT Los Angeles a deserted woman
recently brought suit against her form
damages for alternating the mans atfec-
tions, but the court granted mo lion
for non-suit on the ground that there
had been no satisfactory evidence of
any real affection having existed be-
tween husband and wife since 1891.
The same contention might be success
fully maintained in most cases of the
kind, for when a husband goes off after
other women he has certainly lost all
affection for his wife.

It has been decided by the Southern

from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance Of
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York SUBJ
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land al
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seaboard
business.
For the protection of the interests OF
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgate d
hibiting the handling of freight or
ig mating IN New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. 81 7. @. and Southern Pacific; M. K.

G. r. l. & p. II. & T. G. and Southern

This does not in any way effect

that all mail from New Orleans to Mo.
