Americas Share in the Cuban Shame,
During the forty years that have
since elapsed all the interested pow
ers haze recognized expressly Or
implicitly the position that was then
publicly assumed by our government.
So, however unpleasant it may be, we
must admit that when the consular
representatives of France and of
England in Cuba say as l have heard
many cf them say, in commenting
upon the unparalleled horror of the
situation, that the government and
people of our county are directly
responsible for all the bloody crimes
that are committed in the name war
fare, they are right. l believe thay
our share of responsibility for all
this b,ood guiltiness is heavy one.
We have announced our peculiar
rights as to Cuba we have said to
other nations that they must keep
their hands of we block the way
and stop all interference, and assist
Spain the while to encompass her
ends by the activity of our fleet and
the exertions of our federal officers.

"A Queer Case of Amnesia.

The queerest case of amnesia ever
known in Connecticut exists now in
Plantsville. Rev. T. G. Hanna, pastor
OF the Plantsville Baptist church, is
the victim. On April II Mr.. Hanna
stopped his horse to adjust a strap of
his harness This act cost him his edu-
cation; in fact, his mental strength.
AS he attempted to jump from his
carriage his feet caught in the robe,
ne was thrown headlong to .Ae ground
and knocked unconscious. He was
found and taken home by friends. but
MS mind was gone, and when con-
seriousness returned his memory was a
blank. His parents stood by his bed
when, an hour after the accident. he
moved again and mumbled something
irarticulate, but he did not know them:
he did not even know the meaning of
the words father" and mother" He
could not speak a word of any Ian
guage, and the task of teaching him
to talk, walk, and act was begun all
over again. The relations of his fam
lily were explained to him, and, like .
newborn babe. he was again taught TO
read, write, and even eat. His loss of
speech proved easily overcome, as he
remembered, with wonderful mental
tenacity, the meaning of the longest
words as soon as they were explained
to him. AS the child, before he be-
gins to go to school, picks out familiar
words on household objects, Mr.. Han
ma began TO learn language and words
from scripture roll that his father
hung up over his bed. Every bit of the
Bible that he had learned had slipped
from his memory, but he has memoir
lied much since then. although he can
not yet read the Bible understand
ingly. He does a little light reading,
mostly of simple story books All his
former accomplishments, such as
sketching, drawing, typewriting, etc.,
are forgotten.

Unnecessary Generosity.

Jose Maria, a Spanish brigand who
had received pardon of the government
on condition that he rencunced his ex-
citing and unlawful profession, used
to tell most entertaining stories of his
past. On one occasion he said he had
robbed an English gentleman and his
cervant of their horses and everything
they possessed, save their clothes.
The Englishman was a pleasant, at
tractive youth, and submitted to the
robbery with great good humor, This
appealed to Jose Maria, and as they
were forty miles from Seville, whittier
the traveller was going, he determined
that he should not walk that distance,
and gave him back his servants horse
and doubloon-sixteen dollars-out
of the two hundred he had taken
The youth thanked the robber warm
ly, and added that he had still a great
favor to ask.
Twill you not return me my watch"
he said. 1T was the parting gift from
my dear father"
els your father alive" asked Jose
Maria, land does he love you very
much?'
ooh, yes" said the youth, che lives
and loves me-"

you so dearly, he is sure to give you

Enormous Output of Gold In the Month
of June.
Our Cripple Creek correspondent
estimates that the gold output of Grip
pie Creek district in June was 81, 190,
352, says the Denver Republican. He
represents that this is conservative
estimate, and it is probable that it is
not far from correct. 1t is difficult 20
get definite figures in a matter of this
Kind, but 1t is probable that the sun
named is close enough, to the actual
output for practical purposes. It ap-
pears from this estimate that Cripple

duction of gold, and that if the same.

Done the total gold product of the

MA Will not do much better this year
lhan 1t Gid last. Cripple Creek is, in
deed, wonder 1t is the greatest gold
camp in the United States, which is
equivalent to saying that it is one of The
greatest gold camps in the world It is
producing at a greater rate now than
d. any time previous to this year, eX-
cept that during the last two months
o. 1898 1t probably produced 81 900, 900
IN each month. But that product was
not maintained. January, 1896, showed
heavy decline. But the district is
producing 100000 per month as a
regular thing. It promises to average
thls during the remainder of the year,
II 1t does not do even better. It should
DC observed that there is nearly every
reason to believe that the annual prod
uct OF this district will be increased in
tne future, as new properties are de-
Veloped into ore producers and ship
pers. The camp is still greatly in neel
OF development, which it will receive
IN the course of time. OF course. it
cannot be reasonably maintained that
every property will become regular
producer of gold. Much of the Svea of
the district may be barren. But Oh the
other hand, it is altogether reasonable
to suppose that much undeveloped ter
r!tory will prove productive in the
course OF time. We know no reason
why, IN the course of time, and as
result OF extensive Development Grip
ule Creek should not produce 2,OOO, 900
instead of, as now, 81 100000 a month
An annual product of $4,000 would
still leave the district far below the
output of the Rand country in South
Africa. This yield is within the reach
OF Cripple Creek, We believe, and we
hope it will he attained before a great
While. 1t will, however, require the
development of properties which now
nave comparatively little work on
men, but upon which development
ought to be vigorously pushed.

An Oregon Man lii Trying to Ascend
Mount Hood Drops 700 Feet. <",'
Frederick Kirn,, we'll known resi-
dent and groceryman of Portland, Ore,
met with terrible death on Newton
Clarke glacier on the north slope of
Mount Hood, one day last week. In the
ascent OF the mountain he strayed from
the path and was caught by mass Of
sliding rock, which carried him 300 feet
down the steep side of the mountain
TO the brink of cliff, over which he
plunged to the rocks, 400 feet below.
kim left Portland last week and
started to ascend the mountain without
a guide. He had examined the road
with his field glasses, he said, and
would have no diffiuclty in following
1t all the way up.
he retired early and arose next
morning at four o'clock, drinking cup
or coffee before he started on the c4lmb,
which he did at half past four, all
alone.
When at night kim did not return,
mr. Langille, landlord of the Cloud Cap
Inn, became alarmed for his safety and
started in search of him. He soon
found that he had good cause for his
alarm. Kirn's trail could be easily fol-
lowed to within seven hundred feet of
the summit. At that point it varied
from the regular trail which it had thus
tar followed, and led away to treach-
erous rock covered district near the
head of Newton Clarke glacier. Here
Mr.. Langille discovered, to his horror,
that the unfortunate man had been
caught in mass of sliding rock, which
ne had probably loosened with his feer,
and had been carried with it swiftly to
the brow Of the precipice below, over
which the burrows made in the snow by
the small avalanche disappeared.

the skill of the veteran mountaineer

Langille saw the body lying among the
loose rock far below at the mouth Of
the glacier. Kirn's death had been
swift and terrible.
The body was recovered q few days
later.

"A Fine Point In Our Language Which

In review published recently Mr.
Grant Allen commends certain
author for having had the courage to
use in print the colloquial "are sup
posed to- instead of "are supposed to
do,' which, according to the critic, is
what "a fool would have written, -
says a writer in the Academy. Mr..
Allen asserts that in actual speech mo
educated man, except, perhaps, a
prlg," ever usec the longer form. Now,
always do, not because am a fool,
an uneducated man or a prig (what-
ever claim I may have on other
grounds to any of these titles of dig
nlty), but simply because in that part
OF England in which my early years
were spent the ellipsis in question is, or
was thirty years ago, absolutely for
elgn to the usage of educated and un-
educated people alike, as much so as
Il ain't," which many highly educated
persons say, though I have not yet m It

time known to me only from it's occur
renee in American books. When I
first heard it in conversation it was
under circumstances that led me to re-
gard it as silly affectation. Of course
I now hear it often enough, but I have
not quite got over the feeling that
there is something grotesque about it.
