New York juno 2i.-A dispatch 10 the

cur,art that the sugar trust has evolved or

Cuba is substantially for sale and might as
yroll became sugar plantation for gigan-
tic corporation supported by the sympathy
and the interest OF our country. In other
words, that we might as well have an East

tension of the British empire.

Tho idea runs this way; Spain has al
roodv charged 10 Cuba a debt OF $500, OOo.-
ooo and under Spanish dominion the island
can never yield revenue amounting to
one-half the interest. Cuba. without
mort or town. or ship. has national DEBT,
and there are many who think the credit OF
the Cuban government should be as good.
If not better, than that OF Spain.
Suppoae there were a company command
ing money to take up the whole Cuban
debt with the war debt Of Spain charged
10 Cuba at It's market value--say $4,000 'OOs
and $50 900, 900 for the Spanish rights IN
Cuba, and the Cuban rights In the forests

Miss DunIeyY's Success
As an Illustrator

Philadelphia has an accomplished wo-
 man illuminator, Miss Alice Dunlevy.
 This clever artist was born of Irish par
 ents in Manchester, England. Her fath-
 CT, John Intaglio Dunlevy, was an in-
 ventor as we'll as an artist, while his
 wife, a brilliant conversationalist and g.
 fine singer, was the granddaughter of Thomas Hughes, who invented the spin
 ming jenny. Mr. and Mrs. Dunlevy soon
 after their marriage came to America.
 With them was their daughter Alice,
 who early in life evinced decided taste
 for the art of illuminating. She spent
 all of her time and pocket money in
 hunting the second hand stores, search
 ing for information in the work she loved. When only 13 Miss Dunlevy was admitted into the school of design of the Cooper institute through the influence of Horace Greeley, who purchased one of her aquarelles of an arrangement" of flowers. She graduated with honors, and afterward became a teacher in the institute As Peter Cooper never re-
 membered names, he always designated Miss Dunlevy as that little girl," either in addressing her or asking her assist
 ance in school hours. At special re-
 ception given by MT. Cooper for the
 pupils MT. Bancroft, the historian, was
 present. He examined Miss Dunlevy's work and urged her to make dlluminat- ing the special study of her life. He also said that women are really the only
 leisure class in this country, and there is no better way to raise the standard of refinement or cultivate taste for
 letters than by this special art. am | an old man and love my country, and am proud of it, and so beg you to in- struct women. Give more time to illu-

Woman's Influence Tn
New York Politics

In the recent memorable municipal campaign at Greater New York, which closed on last Tuesday with an over whemings democratic victory the work of the women's political clubs played an important and surprising part. For the first time in a municipal contest the wo- men were recognized by the campaign managers and the republican women of New York had regular headquarters, which were paid for by the county com mittee. These rooms closely resembled the headquarters of the mems commit tees, with decorations on the walls of bunting, pictures of candidates, and the necessary typewriters and campaign lit erature.
 Between the hours of and in the morning the rooms were noisy and bust ling with the preparations of the dis trict workers, who were appointed to visit the different sections of the city and labor for some especial candidate
 One club sent out fifty district work CTS. with their plans mapped out with precision by the women in charge.
 These women were neatly and care fully dressed and executed the orders given them with accuracy and de- spatch.
 With all the women's organization and thorough work. Greater New York elected by an immense plurality, man failed to arouse any sentimental inter est on the part of feminine New York CTS. It was a remarkable campaign in
