NO CUBAN MASS MEETING.
Speakers Corid Not Re Obtained in
Time for sunday.

For two reasons the Cuban mass meeting
of the District labor organizations will not
be held ON the Monument grounds tOmUr-

impossible TO hold the meeting tomorrow
on eccount of the scaIcity of speakers on
the Fourth of July and the difficulty of
arranging for them under rthecircuu4stdnces
ON such shoIt notice.
In addition to this, Col. bingham, hO
yesterday granted a IeImit for the meet
Ing on the Monument gIOunds, as he says,
under a misapprehension, has now Ee-
voked the permit, 1T is said.
Cal Pingham's attitude in the matter
is that lie supposed from the representa-
tions made 20 him that the meeting Was 60
lie simply a patriotic one in celebration
Of the Fourth, and that he had no knowl-
edge that Cuba was to figuIe in the Cere-
mony.
He il Of the opinion that such Cuban
mass meeting wouldgive a semblance of the
approbatiou of this Government To agita-
ton in this country in behalf of the Cuban
insurgents.
The attention Of Col. Bingham was
called &c the statement in The Times yes
tertay afternoon that the meeting was to
be q Cuban mass meeting.
This, nc says, was the first intimatiOn
he received OF its nature. He is said to
have made the remark then: II shall not
permit the meeting / would not have

known the real object of the meeting.

tify the chief of police OF the state Of af
fairs that he may not allow an asSeTnblage
in the Monument grounds on the afternoon

However, the revocation of Col. Bing-

for the reason before stated, that the
meeting has been postponed.

WON A WIFE WITH AN EGG.
An Oklahoma Farmer Made Happy
By a Random Love Message.

New York Herald: Ross Williams of
Enid, o. T., wrote a loyelorn message on
an egg ready for shipment several weeks
ago, and as result he won himself a
bride. What the young man said on the
egg was this:
''On a farm in the Cherokee strip sit
a sad and lonely bachelor thinking sadly
over my fate, and would love to come OFF
the nest and join my life with that of
some comedy young lady of not too many
summers growth. Should the message
on this egg meet with the eye of q fair
one who is matrimonially inclined on
short acquaintance, and who thinks she
could, enjoy a prairie life with a student
of natures beauty, address Ross Will
Jams, Enid, o. IT,
In due course of time this reply came:
Dear Mr.. Williams-From the quiet
precincts of my boudoir l write thee. L
am lonely, too, and have often longed to
tail wild grass SWayS in the wind as if
bugs. After chopping wood to kindle the
kitchen fire and after the fire was ready
for business and the pan was sizzling in
the sparkling fat. l was about to break
an egg into the pan, when, behold! Your
message meets my gaze. 1t seemed like
q dream of a lost unknown love. [ am
comely, but not fair Age %, no money,
but plenty of grit. Let US exchange
photographs. 1t may all end in another
American union, long to be preserved.
Methinks / know you now.
BESSIE CARROLL, Chicago, ILL.,"
Further correspondence resulted, and
few days later the young people were
married.

HER BOOMERS ARE ovERALLs
A Woman Section Boss Who Is an
Expert.

Chicago Times-Herald: Mrs. Mary
Shannon wears the boomer costume, but
she would be surprised to hear herself
called a new woman" Her boomers
are overalls, and instead of disporting
them astride a diamond frame bicycle
she wears them as she attends to her
duties as boss of a section on the Lake
Erie & Western railroad.
A year ago Mrs. Shannon lived at
Montpelier, and her husband had charge
of q railroad section between Hartford
City and Muncie. The husband was killed
in a railroad accident and the widow was
thrown upon her own resources. She
was familiar with railroad repair work
having been the daughter of one section
boss and the wife of another, and in
some way she succeeded in convincing the
company that was responsible for the
death of her husband that she was
capable of taking charge OF a section.
The company appointed her to succeed
her husband.
Every working day Mrs. Shannon can
be seen on her section directing the gang
of which she is boss. Clad in boomer
overallS with the bottoms laced around
the tops of cowhide boots, her head
sheltered beneath 9. broad-brinmed straw
hat. Mrs. Shannon does not seem so
much out Of place as would be expected.
The roadmaster of the Lake Erie &
Western says there is not a better section
boss on his line.

William Franklin Armstrong of this
city was at one time a schoolmate of
Ulysses S. Grant, the general and pres
ident, and when they were boys to-
gether in wrestling matches he fire.
qUently sent the future president
SPRAYING on his back. When the civil
war broke out, Mr.. Armstrong volun-
teered, and was almost through the
process OF being mustered in when an
officer noticed limp in his gait, caus-
ed by a slight defornity, and rejected
him. While the siege Of Vicksburg was
in progress he wrote Grant, saying
that if he could be of service to him he
would come. In reply, the general
turned the paper and wrote across the
back: IF you can fight as we'll as you
can wrestle, l would like to have you.

BANK EXAMINER LATER
TESTIFIED AT THE TRIAL OF
BACON YESTERDAY.
Pointed Out Instances Of Irregular
tiles In the Books Of the Late
American National Bank-Court
Adjourned Early to Accommodate
the Jury.

The trial of James H. Bacon yester-
day was devoted to an examination of
James B. Lazier, the national bank
examiner, who made official reports to
the comptroller on the condition of the
late American National bank of which
the defendant was president Mr.. La
zier detailed a number of entries on the
books which he claimed to be fraudu
lent and erroneous.
On account of the delay of Juryman
Croft, of Pennington, in arriving, court
was not in session until about 10:30 and
an adjournment was taken for the DAY
at l O'Clock, as a favor to one of the
jurymen, who had urgent business to
attend TO.
The first question considered at the
morning session was as to whether the
copy Of the letter from the comptroller
to the bank officials, procured by j. 3.
Edmunds, should be admitted in evil
derce. The court ruled that the letter
could not be introduced, as the original
from which the copy had been obtained
was secured by unreasonable seizure.
Mr.. LaZier was on the stand during
the rest of the session. His testimony
was as to the condition of the books
at certain periods Whe.- he had made
reports. He called attention to an en-
try of $4,000 to the credit of the Hot
Sulphur Springs Bath company, and
said that cash was debited on the same
date with a, similar amount. This re-
manned on the books until May, 1893,
when there We're two entries crediting
and deducting $4,000 of this During
this time two reports TO the comptroller
were made which showed a raise in the
percentage of cash reserve, although
the liabilities were increased in a cor
responding sum.
Mr.. Lazier also testified to a similar
transaction, shown on the books in the
name of j. Harrison for 0,00O.
Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.

from January to July. Excerpts of the
report furnished to the United States
ambassador here show an enormous in
crease in American trichinous meat
cases, notably at Stettin, Cologne,
Breslau, Essen, Aix-La-C hapelle, Dus-
seldorf, Bochum and Guben. However,
while a certain percentage of cases are
really Of American origin, the fact is
palpable that the whole report is
bungled, and many Of the cases quoted
are not proved to be of American
origin.
At Mr. Whites formal request, he
was furnished with the registry num-
Der of the original package and. other
marks Of Identification, in order to en-
able him to accuaint the officials at
Washington with the facts in the case,
and secure the punishment of the neg
ligent meat inspectors in the United
States.
a fact which has been very gener-
ally neglected is that trichinae is prev
alent i'll d number of districts of Ger

that of a wild boar, shot in the woods
and offered for sale in Berlin, which
was found to be horribly trichinous
