Morgan Cuban resolution, bNt it is
not likely that anything will come
of it.

Wcylcr practically in confinement,
while their own forces are at liber-
ty TO turn in whatsoever direction
they will, constantly harassing the
enemy and unloading supplies and
mutions of war under their very
noses.
The longer this war endures the
more hopeless Spain's condition he
comes. No human agency can now
defeat or long postpone the absolute
triumph Of the Cuban arms and
Spain's ultimate acknowledgement
of the islands independence. The
Spaniards grow desperate as the
insurgents become confident.
"Srain must know that this war is
only for independence is the lam
guage Of General Gomez's latest
manifesto. "The Cubans Will rath-
er die than yield to any other solu-
tion." In this indomitablo spirit
the rebels go forward TO final vic
tory. Spain, beaten in the field
and bankrupt at home, is fighting
merely for mistaken "honor"
without the slightest hope of mill
tary success. Her statesmen know
that Cuba is already lost.
A more inexcusable war was new
or prosecuted than that into which
the present consent has degenerat-
ed. Two years ago both parties 10
! it had reasonable hopes of victory,
and both were actuatel by what
they conceived to be- motives of
high principle. But today the sit
uatiOn Is entirely changed. The
end has become foregone conclu-
sion and the wars continuance
simply means profilless slaughter
from this time on. With or with
out the intervention of the United
States, Cuba will be free.
When that conclusion to the long
struggle comes, despite the coward
ly and unsympathetic attitude ,oi
this government toward the atfi-
OTIS, the first disgraceful rage Of
American history will have been
written, ut that moment the first al
Cuban glory VIII take its place tn

What Kind of Warming.

A patient was arguing with his doc

and needed it; said he; 'sBut, doctor,
I must have some kind Of a stimulant.
I am cold, and it warns me.
Precisely" came the doctor S crus-
ty answer. "See here; this stick is
cold," taking up stick Of wood from
the box beside the hearth, and tossing
it into the fire. ''Now the stick is
warm but is it benefted?"
The sick man watched the wood first
send out little puffs Of smoke and then
burst into a fame, and replied: "Of

yourself with alcohol; you are literal

How He Meant to Settle 1t.

Judge Murphy was trying a case in
San Rafael once. 1t was 4 murder
case, and bitterly contested. 1t had
not proceeded very far before the
attorneys got to loggerheads. The
attorney for the defence did his best
to initiate the attorney for the pros
ccution, and the prosecuting attorney
retaliated with all his might. Finally
matters got to such pitch that the
attorney for prosecution turned upon
his opponent and called him down in
open court. Judge Murphy inter
rupted, saying:
''Gentlemen, gentlemen, this won't
do. This sort of thing is very disre,
spectful to the court. This is no
place for such exhibitions. If you
gentlemen have any differences to set
tie, settle them out OF court.
The attorney for the defense INN
diatcly rose and said: eve have
differences, if Your Honor please: y
"If Your Honor please said the
prosecuting attorney, II wish to say
that We have differences. And wish
to give notice that when court ad journs
| intend to crack that man head over
there.
Judge Murphy exploded. GLOW
dare you, sir? How dare you? This
is the grosscst contempt of court
low dare you come here and attempt
to tcrrify counsel ? | fine you $50,
sin; $50"
The attorney replied ''That is
rather hard on me, if Your Honor
please. Your Honor distinctly sug-
gestcd that | should settle my differ
cnces with this man out Of court, and
l gave notice of my intention to dc
so. That was all. l have the highest
respect and appreciation of Your
Honor's judgment in such matters,
and ! felt proud to accept Your Honor's
advice. -
Judge Murphy was not proof against
such subtle tlattcry. and the fine was

WOrkWOman Becomes Rich.

Mary Ann Bascombe of Stapleton,
S. L., is one of the most remarkable
women in America. Born in little
frame house at Gordon and Broad
streets, Stapleton, Sc years ago, she
began life at - years of age as maid
of all work, receiving as wages but s15
year, yet from this humble begin
ming she has succeeded through her
own unaided efforts in amassing a
fortune of over $500, 900.
She lives in modest house at the
corner of Gordon and Broad streets,
Stapleton, on the site where she was
born. ''NIy maiden name was Mary
Ann McDonough," she said to re-
porter the other day. My father was
Thomas McDonough a contractor Of
Richmond county, and during his
lifetime did not want for anything.
When he died I was still young
girl, but it was necessary for me to
find work or starvc, as he left US very
poor. At first I was paid only 50 a
week, but I put my whole heart and
soul into learning to do piece work,
until by the time / was II years old /
made on an average Of s11 week.
I saved great deal of money. For
five years l worked as factory girl. "
Miss McDonough was married be-
fore she was 20 years old, but her hus-
band died after two children we're
born. She then began work as a
washerwoman. All the time she saved
money and married again. She con-
tinued washing for wages and invested
her savings in real estate. Shc.was
so successful that one of her brothers
entrusted her with his savings to
invest, and the investment yielded
abundant returns. She now has 65
houses and not one of them is encum-
bered by mortgage.
By her second marriage Mary Ann
Bascombe has six children, so that
she is the mother of eight children,
all of whom are living.
She is model landlord. Said she !:
"When q tenant comes to me and says,
Mary Ann, [ haven't the rent this
month"; I do not tell him to look for
lodgings elsewhere, but I ask him if
he has plenty to eat in the house, or
is in need of any money. When that
man leaves me he no longer looks upon
me as his landlord, but as his friend,
and he will slave his fingers to his
bone when he does get work in order
to pay me my due. You see, am a
believer in the honesty of the poor.
Whenever tenant needs advice he
has only to apply to Mrs. Bascombe.
If father is in doubt as to what trade
to apprentice his son Or q mother is
uncertain as to career for her daugh-
ter Mary Ann Bascombe settles the
question. If a tenant has money to
invest Mary Ann S advice is invaria-
bly, asked. She is not only landlord
over her tenants, but she exercises a
direct influence in their lives, even
drawing up Wills and having their
lives insured. The insurance policy
is made out in her name with the un-
derstanding that she will pay the ex-
animation fees and all the dues.
When the person insured dies Mary
Ann collects the policy, pays the fun
eral expenses, cabes out what she has
advanced and RENTS the balance to
those entitled to it. In paying dues
on the lives of tenants she has insured
she spends about 81 900 a year out Of
her own personal income. Chicago
