WILLIE CHRISTINE REMAINS.
To Appear at the Grand Opera House
 Another Week.

To Appear at the Grand Opera House
 Another Week.
 Millie Christine, the dual woman, will appear at the Grand Opera house annex this week, daily from ? to 5, and from 7:3O to 10 o'clock.
 She is a physical wonder, forty-three years of age-or rather two women in one-and is undoubtedly a rival to the Siamese twins. There is a total ab- sence of anything that is vulgar or re- pulsive about her, whose four bright eyes and dazzling rows of pearly teeth light up a fair creole complexion with an animation that is really attractive. Here we have a woman with one body, but two distinctive minds, borne by two separate heads that are possessed with marvellous intelligence that predomin- ates in both brains. Some of the sweetest music ever sung by high so- prano and a pure contralto was pro- duced. The notes issued from two heads and yet but one trunk supplied the nerve. Some may have an idea that she or they are repulsive. If this prejudice should carry any so far as to avoid her, they will be the losers.

Waldron will preside. An in-s portant acquisition to the conference will be the Rev. Dr. Charles L.. Goodell of Boston, who has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn. Dr. GoodeH is now pastor of the First Methodist church of Boston, and will succeed the Rev. Louis Albert Banks to the pastorate of the Hanson Place church. Dr. Banks several weeks ago declined the invitation to remain an- other year. He believed that his with drawal was necessary in the interest of harmony because of his attitude in the presidential campaign, when he afiliat- ed himself with the prohibition party.

SHALL WE HELP FREE CUBA?
(contInued from First Page. )


 the island, and Secretary Fish in 1870 endeavored to have 1t ceded to us on terms that were fair to all concerned, but all these propositions have been rejected with true Spanish scorn. We have not been unmindful of the claims of humanity in the past; we are not | to-day, But there are some serious difficulties in our way. l. There is the | danger of doing Spain an injustice. Even such government as Spain has rights. She has at least been able to hold her colony; she has granted some reforms; she has not yet proved herself utterly incapable nor utterly inhuman We have never had distant colonies to govern; We have little appreciation of the difficulties or the rights of the home government in such cases. Our own experience with foreign powers during the civil war should make us slow and conservative. 2 We would be violating our settled policy of non-in- reference, meddling with what does not yet concern us as a government We are not land-grabbers nor profess sional arbitrators. Should we in- eeilCiC, we WOulu pC opitSoCu lo dIiSA the island or establish a protectorate, which would mean precedent with reference to Spanish and other possessions near us, which we would find it difficult to live up to. 8. The Cuban position is in our way. Cuba demands independence or noth ing. She would not be satisfied with treaties, or reforms or home rule, or autonomy such as Canada enjoys. She does not trust the Spaniard; she in- sists upon being rid of him forever.
 There is an opportunity, under these conditions, for this nation to do a splendid thing. Let another honest effort be made to buy the island, back ed if need by, by very unequivocal language. If Spain refuses it will be time enough to recognize and assist the insurgents. But Spain will not re- fuse: there are signs of weakening; she cannot stand the strain of holding the island much longer; little judi cious pressure will induce her to sell. But when we have bought the island, what then? Fund the purchase price as loan to Cuba at a low rate of in- terest. the principal to be paid in a giv- en term of years. Is that qulxotic, vis- ionary; pulpit talk? At least it is not jingoism; it is not a violation of our traditional policy not to interfere in the affairs of other nations; nor to es- tablish protectorates It would be a l Christian thing to do, which is better It would be in the interest of that reign of peace which our recent treaty of arbitration with England makes probable and near It would be mag nificent object lesson to the nations. It would prove that a great Christian people can befriend the weak and op- pressed, advance the cause of free gov ernment and the brotherhood of man without rushing out, sword in hand to hew down the oppressor In cold l blood. It would do a service to hu- manity and ourselves that would shine in history, and push civilization ahead hundred years"

DBETU4RY NOTES.

The Late Mrs. Hannah M. Comstock.
 The death of Mrs. Hannah M. Com stock brought sincere sorrow to many hearts, to whom the memory of this estimable lady will be precious. She was a lady of much refinement, of dis criminating mind and rare judgment and more than all the rest was beloved for her sweet nature and high Chris tian character. Her funeral took place Friday afternoon from her late home on George street and many friends who had known and prized her were present to pay the last tribute of love and affection. Rev. Dr. McLane of Ply mouth church conducted the services. The deceased was the mother of Mrs
 Dr. Nicoll and the grandmother of MT
 Charles Nicoll, the real estate dealer Concerning this beautiful life just end- ed a friend, "K," pens the following tribute:
 Mrs Hannah M. Comstock, widow of the late l.. F. Comstock, who died Tuesday, January 12, at her home, 335 George street, was a woman of more than usual force and loveliness of char acter. Born in Plymouth in this state
 on the side of her mother, who was a New Haven woman, she was descend ed from James Bishop, the first lieu tenant governor of New Haven colo ny. Previous to her marriage the SUD- port of the family devolving upon her. she displayed marked executive ability in building up a profitable business, having many employees over whom she exerted a strong personal influence for good.
 At the age of eighteen she became decidedly deaf and in later years en- tirely so, so that she could communi- cate with her friends only by reading their lips or by writing. But this in firmity did not impair the sweetness of her spirit nor her interest in her friends nor their delight in her. She rarely spoke or thought of herself but
 was engrossed in the welfare and hap piness of those about her With this loveliness of disposition she combined great resoluteness of character and the cleanest understanding of great ques- tions. She took advanced ground quietly but firmly at the very begin ming of the temperance and anti-slay- cry agitations. Although entirely de- voted to her home she early felt that woman had work to do for the world to which only now are the doors open ing. She was deeply interested in Dar wins first presentation of the theory of development and at once heartily &C., cepted it as the true key to many prob lems But especially she rejoiced to see the gospel of love break down and sweep away the harder doctrines. of the theology under which her childhood had suffered. These advanced views she never obtruded, but always gra- ciously maintained and so recommend ed by her winning personality that her influence was most decided and wide spread.
 Age did not lessen her interest either in her friends or the great world about her Her loving and active spirit made her face beautiful and her presence in- spring to the last The days came when her hands grew too weak to hold her loved books. Chronic bronchitis combined with advancing years had gradually sapped her strength and finally ended her life at nearly the close of her eighty-eighth year She leaves one daughter, the wife of Dr. John Nicoll of this city.

SHOT AN ENORMOUS OWL.
It Tried to Feast on MT. Robbins'
 Chickens and Was Captured,

ChlckenS ana was Captured.
 Derby, Jan. 16.-Early yesterday morning Mrs. Charles Robbins of Derby Neck heard 8 commotion in her hen coop and as it was not quite daylight, did not venture out to see what the trouble was. Calling her son Will, he got his shot gun, and going into the poultry ward, saw large owl with it's talons on the back of a large hen, try ing to carry her off. The hen proved too heavy for the owl and it tried to kill the hen then and there. This proved fatal for MT. Owl, as Wiilie's trusty gun spoke and the owl was soon cold in death. The bird was of the great horned specie and measured feet inches from tip to tip.
