"A highly interesting little work on
Cuba and the war in progress there, en-
titled TN Cuba With NIaeeo,''> has been
issued by Franc Woodward, the author,
a Minneapolis boy, who spent three
months in that country in the earlier por-
tons of the struggle. The Book is dedi-
Gated to S. f. Olson, and will be found
on sale at his place Of business at NOM
-inal cost The experiences related are of
the most thrilling description; the island,
its products. its people, peculiarities and
the mode of warfare are all graphically
described in such an intelligent and fas-
cinating way as to continually engross
the attention Of the reader. From the
moment Mr. Woodward set foot on the
island until the hour in which he huf-
ried]y left it he never had a moments
rest, nor chance for peace, but on the
contrary was continually struggling for
his life. He. fought with Maceo and
other generals, and describes these men
in detail. As the war is still in progress
a .perusal of the book nov. will be dol.bly
interesting. ....

There is only one country in the world
80 far as the official figure show, in
which the number of foreign residents
Is exactly the same number of natives
living abroad. That country is the re-
public of Switzerland, which, by the last
enumeration by cantons was seen to
have foreign population of 100000,
| whereas the total number of natives Of
Switzerland in other countries foots up
the same figure, 105,oo0-of them being
residents of the United States, and more
than 100000 being residents Of the re-
public of France. Though century ago
the Swiss who left their homes for OFF,
cial or military service in other coun-
tries were known for their allegiance to
royalty and monarchial institutions, tho
Swiss Of today residing away from home
go by preference to republican countries.
There are very few Switzerland natives
to be found, as the reports show. in
countries under monarchlal rule.

him that men fought, women screamed

DEATH COMES TO HER Relief.
After a Long Illness Mrs. Daniel
Murphy, of Hudson, Passes

After an illness dating back over q
period of about four months Mrs. Daniel
Murphy, of Hudson, Wis, died at her
late, home home: in.that city on the goth
inst, aged g. years. Deceased whose
maiden name was Catherine Gallagher,
was born in ireland in 1880 and came
to this country with her parents in 1910,
settling in Milwaukee, where she was af-
forwards married. Later on, with her
husband; they moved to St. Croix county
and settled on farm near the town of
Salem. Her husband died in the latter
place in 1856 and brother Michael Gal
lagher also died there in 1898. One sis
ter Mrs. Jerry Flynn survives her, who
lis a resident of Hudson. Since coming
to America Mrs. Murphy had always
made her home in Wisconsin where her
eight children were born, seven of whom
survive her namely: Miss Mary Muir
phy and Mrs. John Sullivan, of lIinnea-
polls, Mrs. VIM. Benney, of Salida, Col,
| Lawrence, Daniel and VIM. Murphy. The
first named a resident Of Boardman,
Wis. and the two latter of Minneapolis;
also Mrs. Edward O'Brien, wife OF the
publisher of this journal.
Mrs. Murphy was taken ill at her late
home in Hudson in September last, first
what seemingly appeared to be severe
cold, but a little later proved to be the
forerunner Of a complication of troubles
which soon secured a firm hold on a sys-
tenn that up to that time had been .ex-
tremelys rugged and healthy. AT times
she suffered greatly but always with the
utmost patience and fortitude, looking
with perfect resignation toward the end
which she believed from the beginning
was inevitable and for which she made
the most careful preparations in follow
ing the precepts of the church. Through
ALL her strugglessthe best of care and at
tention was paid her by those who were
near and dear.to her until death came to
her relief. Services, over. her remains
were held at st. Patrick's Church, Hud-

a FRIGHTENED PRIEST.
Cardinal Satoili Pays Hurried Visit
to Little Church.

| On the island of Mackinac, near where
Lakes Huron and Michigan join, there
are some rather pleasant and exceeding
ly expensive summer resorts, some of
the prettiest scenery On this continent
and not much of anything else. A tiny
Roman Catholic Church, with a limited
number of island parishioners, however,
had an experience last summer which
will be remembered for many years,
says the New York Times.
Mgr. Satolli took the beautiful sum-
mer trip up the lakes accompanied only
by his secretary, and early one Sunday
morning the steamer made landing
at the island of Mackinac Mgr. Satolli
sent his secretary to ask how long the
steamer would remain and If there was
Roman Catholic church in the vicinity.
A scant two hours he was told would be
the limit, and the tiny parish church
was pointed out. A carriage was hastily
called and the delegate and his secreta-
ry drove quickly away.
It was time for the first early morning
Mass in the little church. Perhaps a
hundred of the parishioners had gath
cred for the service and were scattered
among the pews. The last Of the sleepy
little altar boys hurried in and struggled
into his cassock and Gotta, and the
young parish priest, robed appropriate
ly for the day and service, paced slowly
back and forth in the vestment waiting
for the last strokes of the matin bell.
He had no premonition that this would
be the most suspicious service the little
church is likely ever to know. There
came tap at the ves+ry door. The
young priest answered it in person. Two
foreign looking gentlemen stood on the
| doorstep. One of them spoke NO Eng
lish. The other said, simply:
"Mgr. Satolli will say mass here this
morning"
The young priest could hardly believe
| his senses. He was almost speeches.,
but managed to stammer forth a greeting
in his best conversational Latin. It
was a terrible moment. His best choir
singers would not be present until sec
ond Mass. There were no special decor
I atoms. If he had known it the day be-
fore, what a congregation there might
have been. But the robing was hastily
done and the young priest went through
his share of the service in dazed con-
dition. The little congregation did not
even know until afterward who the
strange celebrant was.
The carriage hurried back to the stea-
mer and the happy young priest, ner-
| vous to the last extreme, sank into his
chair in the vestry, rubbed his eyes and
| wondered If after all 1t hadn't been
dream.
