THE w. E. c. HOME.
a Letter From Mrs. Julia L. Death On
the Subject
Blue Rapids, Kan, Jan. I.


To the Editor of The State Journal.
The Woman's Relief corps of the de-
partment of Kansas will petition legis-
lature for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the purpose of repairing and remodel
ing the cottages on the e. A. r. re-
union grounds at Ellsworth, Kan, to be
used as a w. r. c. home and hospital.
Your cooperation is requested by the
committed
-Four thousand dollars seems a small
amount to ask for, when we consider
that the state has expended $31 eco on
those cottages to no practical purpose
1t is a small amount with which to I'M
dertake SO great and beneficent a work;
but the w. r. c. have done wonders in
the past. with apparently inadequate
means, and believe they can, not only
establish such an institution but main
tain it when started.
The state has built homes and hospi-
tails for the soldiers and their families
but no provision has been made for the
aged mothers, widows, and sisters of
such soldiers. In many instances the
soldier goes to comfortable quarters in
the home at LeaVenwOrth, leaving a
helpless wife or mother, sometimes
both, to seek refuge in the county poor
mousse Soldiers homes are built to
keep the soldiers out of the poor house.
Homes should be built to save his moth
er. wife or widow from a like dishonor.
For this reason the w. r. C. of Kan
sas, always first in caring for her own
dependents, wish to build a pleasant
home and hospital where such depend
ent ones can receive proper attention
1t is true that the w. r. G. of Kansas
give generously towards the maintain
ence of the national w. r. c. home at
Geneva, Ohio, but this cannot be used
as an argument against a state home
me national home is maintained by the
W. r. C. as a home for army nurses
and is not adequate to the demand
many army nurses being supported
elsewhere. There is a national home
for soldiers, but each state has its own
home also There is an almost unani-
nous movement on foot throughout the
United States to build state w r. C.
homes If the legislature give US the
81, 600. Kansas will head the procession
Mrs. Anna Seaver Pagan of Ellis
worth, Kan, is the mother of this
movement, give her generous credit. The
department officers and the committee
on w. r. c. home are working hard.
they have leased the grounds and have
a fund started VIII you favor the work
through your paper, and in anv
other way that you consistently can?
Very truly yours,

HOW MACEO DIED.
Mo Longer ANY Doubt That He was
Am bushed.

Havana, JAM 16.-Via Key West)-
Tt develops more and more clearly every
day that Antonio Maceo was led into an
ambush when he was killed. Accord
ing to statements made by prominent
insurgents who have been entrusted
with the task of investigating the facts,
Maceo was permitted to pass the mill
tary line across Pinar del Rio in pur-
suance of the plan which resulted in
his murder.
escort, was making his way into Ha-
vana province with the intention of
meeting the insurgent forces which had
been ordered to concentrate at a place
previously agreed upon, when he and
his followers were suddenly confronted
by the Spanish force under Major Cru
jeda.
Maceo promptly ordered a charge and
led it in person, when q volley from
the Spanish advance guard, composed
of guerillas, fired at the insurgents and
MaceO sank, wounded and dying, upon
his saddle. So far the account agrees
with that given out by the Spanish au-
thorities. But the insurgents now insist
that Maceo's followers distinctly saw
DR.. Zertucha, Maceos personal physi-
clan, among the Spanish guerillas, who
apparently had ambushed the insur-
gents, and they point to this and other
facts that Nfaceo was betrayed by the
physician.
1t also seems true that the Spaniards
succeeded later in obtaining possession
of Maceo's body, in fastening il to the
tail of horse and starting with it to-
wards the Spanish main body The in
surgents, however, rallied and charged
again, obtaining possession OF their
leaders remains, and carried them 10
a place of safety. The body was after
wards given a military burial at spot
which is known to but few of the most
prominent of Maceo's associates.

Rev William P. Ray,an elderly clergy
man from Cambridge, who had been
spending Sunday in this city, lost his
pocket-book by theft at the union sta
ton. He was about to enter the reat
drawing room car On the 624 train east,
accompanied by DR. c. S. Hurlbus and
one or two other friends, whe had come
down TO see him off. He passed through
the smoking room at the rear and was
just entering the main compartment
when several men jostled against him,
| and his money must have been taken at
that time. He did not discover it until
| the train wss starting, when he put his
head out of window and shouted: "rve
been robbed by large man in q gray
suit" The people who were on board
the train when the clergyman entered
and who had got off told conflicting
stories. some thinking that the pick
pocket was dressed in brown. and others
that he was dressed in gray. Some
thought the thief or thieves had run
about the train and got into the smoker
on the same train.-CSpringfield Repub-

prevent large attendance at the picnic
at Ronalds' Park under the auspices of

centered in the ball game, which was
good one. The game was characterized
by costly errors on both sides. The San
dy Hooks took the lead from the first,

inning the Bridgeport's scored two runs,
one in the fifth, three in the sixth and six
in the eighth. In the sixth inning the

bases filled aroused lot of enthusiasm.
Foley, for the home team, made costly
errors. He failed to find the ball as short
stop, and the Bridgeport's learned where
to land the ball. In last inning, howev-
er, he made brilliant running catch.
The fielding of the home team was good,
In the eighth inning, Smith, catcher for
the Bridgeports, had finger split and
retired. His work was superior. The
