GOVERNOR ATKINSON who has al

Kinley's Cuban policy as outlined

He says that he stands squarely up
on the St. Louis platform and favors
recognizing the belligerent rights of
the struggling Cuban. And since the
president has virtually thrown all
responsibility on congress that body
should act promptly in carrying out
the spirit of the platform, which in
his opinion voices the sentiment of
the American people

Legality of slave Marriages.

There is an Interesting case pending
In n Washington court that involves
the legality of the marriage of slaves
before their emancipation. An old ne
gro named Edmund Splver is under in-
dictment for bigamy. His first wife.
Anna Spiver. was slave girl In Vir-
ginin. and was married to another slave
named Mitchell. who three years later
was sold and carried of to the South.
Anna herself was sold some years later
and taken TO New Orleans. where she
married Spiver. and after the war they
came to Washington and lived here for
many years us man and wife, accumu-
lating scme property. But Edmund In
his old age fell in with Ella Davis, II
young negress, who enticed him from
Anna and persuaded him to marry her.
The deserted wife had the old man ar
rested for bigamy, and his attorney
based the defense upon the doctrine
that there could be no legal marriage
between slaves, and. therefore, Anna
was never Spiver's lawful wife.

Coffee Is Away Down.

New York, Nov. 29.-As n result of
the war now being waged between the
Arbuckle Coffee Company and the
WoOlson Coffee Company, the sales of
coffee during the week now ending
have been far in excess of any sim
liar period during the past year. Cof.
fee brokers declared to-day that their
sales have been doubled.
The Woolson Spice Company, which
is controlled by the Havemeyers, is
selling Rio No. Z at - cents per pound.
Not to be outdOne the Arbuckles have
made reduction in their prices. Cof-
fec is now cheaper than 1t has been
since before the war, say the old deal
ers. and If the fight lasts there is no
telling at what price It will go for. An
other reason for the low price Is to be
found in the enormous quantity of
