A NOVEL WAY TO
AID CUBA'S CAUSE
A Million Silver Souveeir Dol
lars Are Sold.

Washington Sept. 12.-The
Cuban junta at New York have
had coined one million hand
somely designed silver souvenir
dollars for which the:demand is
so great from all sections of
the country that the junta are
unable to supply it. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and John Jacob
Astor OF New York took 5O0,-
600 of these dollars at face
value and deposited them IN
the trust company as an ex-
preston Of their condolences IN
eventual Cuban independence
and sympathy with the cause.
In any event they can OHly lose
the difference between the face
value and the bullion value.
Several thousand of these
dollars have already been sent
to Washington to supply the
demand here. bat the demand
is so largely on the increase it
locks as ii the junta will be
obliged to duplicate the issue.

HIS Sermon Crossed the River.

A Perry, Oklahoma, dispatch
says:
On last Sunday, as the Methodist
preacher drove near the school house
at Green Valley, where services are
held, he found that small creek
had risen so high that he could not
get across. A part of the congrega-
ton had assembled on the other
shore. The clergyman accordingly
preached his sermon to them across
the stream.
The account of this sermon has
recalled to many citizens wedding
which occurred IN the northern part
of Beaver county some years ago,
when the bride and groom stood up
on one side of Il swollen stream and
were united by clergyman stand
ing on the other side and shouting
the ceremony at the top of his voice.
The fee of "six bits" was thrown
across tied up in Il handkerchief
with stone.

The Simple Fact.

The simple fact illustrated in the
whole history of the century now
closing is that the country is Demo
cratic; that whenever Democracy IS
true to itself, whenever It honestly
abides by the principles of Jefferson,
Jackson and Iilden, by honest
money, the rights of the people, and
the broad truths OF popular liberty,
it wins and governs. Whenever for
the sake of votes it caters to the
whims of cratic apostles of unrest.
whenever it makes unholy alliance
with the forces of misrulc, whenever
it abandons its fundamental ideas at
the behest of anybody, it loses, be-
cause the people are too Democratic
to vote Democratic ticket that does
not represent Democracy.
In brief. this Republic is over
whelmingly Democratic, but it in
sists that all who demand election IN
the name of Democracy shall be
loyal to Democratic principle.-New
York World.

Merit in medicine means the power to
