ed the button which set in motion
the machinery of the exposition and
congratulated the Tennesseans who
witnessed the proceeding. When the

whistles. The audience in the au-

For nearly three years the handful
of Cuban patriots has made head a
gainst the power of Spain, They are
fighting for that which the heroes Of
Thermopylae, Marathon and Salami;
fought for-the cause of freedom. Ter
times out-numbered, without money OF
prestige, enduring every hardship, i'll
armed, ill-oad, i'll fed, the Cuban pat
riots have outgeneraled and outfoughl
the organized forces of their opprcssors
Their suferings have been far more
bitter than those of the Cretan insur.
gents, but they have now something to
show for their sacrifices.
From the eastern portion of the is
land the Spaniards have practically
been driven out. The patriots have a
we'll organized government. Thei,
strength is daily increasing; while that
OF their enemies dwindles with each
hour. Their deliverance, final and
complete, seems to be near at hand.
If any one questions the capacity Of
the Cuban patriots for self-governmeu
the record of the past two years is a
sufficient reply. The insurgents have
shown remarkable power of cohesion,
holdi. g together in the face Of shatter-
ing blows When their little armies
seemed 10 melt away before overwhelm-
ing forces they have as quickly gather
ed again somewhere else, more united
and uudaunted than before. Like
Antaeus, when thrown down they arise
with new strength. This is proof Of
the vitality at the heart of their move
ment. Furthermore, they have shown
abundant self control. They have
shown under special trial, the essential
ly civic virtue of readiness to sacri.
flee personal ambitions to the general
cause. They have proved themselves
no mere marauding guerrillas, ready
to khife a comrade for the sake of camp
suprenacy,but men Of disciplined self.
restraint and settled purpose. Theil
leaders, to the impartial observer, seem
to be men fitted not only to free peo
pie, but afterward mold them wisely
into a state. ILLUSTRATED American.

FIFTY-Two YEARS IN BUSINESS.


Forty-two years ago this morning
April 81, Ex-Governor Page commenc
ed his apprenticeship In the Hide bus
mess. In that forty-two years he has
seen almost every Hide and Leather
concern in the United States fail, dis
solve, die or for some other cause &C
out Of business.
Forty-two years of uninterrupted
business at the same place is a record
enjoyed by very few of the business
men of this country.
In 1855, when the Governor com
menced, he was his own book.keeper
grader, salter, bundler, shipping clerk
and cashier. To-day his clerical force
alone consists of four stenographers
three book-keepers, a cashier, and
eight general office assistants, including
corresponding clerks, billi G clerks,
etc, in all nine females and seven
males. The force at the Hide House
rarely runs below forty, and during
the busiest seasons of the year reaches
seventy fve to ninety.
The little cellar where he commenced
his operations in 1855 was Is x 80
feet. To day there is foorage of
nearly two acres devoted to the bust
ness. In 1855 Hyde Park was an in
land town without railroad, and the
few Skins collected were brought in by
teams, and the sales were almost exclu-
s;vely made to Tanners in Vermont.
To-day his shipments cover not only
the United States and British Ameri-
can Provinces but go to Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Switzerland, Italy, and to Turkey in
Asie.
From the first there has been a con.
slant aud successful growth, and new
er in the history of the business has
that growth been as large as in the
year just closed. Hyde Park News
