AID FOR CUBANS
A Resident of Maui Is Do.
ing Practical Work.
Quotation From the Christian
Those Who Love Humanity.
christian Herald, n. W


We believe that every one of Gods
children in our beloved Union has the
cause of poor, stricken Cuba deeply at
heart. Many letters have come to US,
in which the writer's ask to be inform
ed how they can best help in the relief
work which President Mckinley and
our Secretary of State have so elo-
quently urged upon the American peo-
pie.
There are three ways of assisting in
this movement to save the lives of the
perishing population of that unhappy
island, whose people have now no other
means of succor:
First-You can give of your own
substance, according as God has pros
pered you, and as your heart, touched
like that the good Samaritan, with a
holy sympathy, may dictate. Even a
mite, given in Christ's name, for such
a purpose will accomplish much. Re-
member, too, that it is the Masters
own work-the same in which he took
special joy while here on the earth
He fed the hungry, cured the sick and
comforted the sorrowful ones.
Second-You can plead the cause Of
Cuba with others, and thus bring many
hearts into active sympathy with your
own. Groups of friends, churches, Sun
day schools, societies, and similar or
CARNATIONS, may thus be brought into
the movement with the result of saving
thousands of precious lives.
Third-You can give-irrespective of
and above all else-your earnest pray
ers for the speedy succor of Cuba and
the success of the work we have under
taken. Our first food cargoes have al
ready reached Havana, and many of
the starving are even now realizing
the blessings of Americans generosity.
We need to make haste, in order to do
the most effective work. Let all our
friends, everywhere, therefore, act
quickly in sending forward their gifts
to the fund.

BOY ROBBERS
 COME TO GRIEF
Twelve Lads Had Erected Huts With Modern Flee
 trical Appliances.
Material for Their Dime Novel Ar engagements Secured by Raids
 on Dwellings.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 BOSTON, March 19.-A gang of twelve boy robbers belonging to the best families in Wallaston, a fashionable suburb, was arrested to-day. Back in the woods the boys had erected several small huts in regular dime novel style, and there had stored their plunder. The little shanties were connected with wires and bells, and the boys had a regular electric outfit in running order. It is alleged the boys ab- stracted the signal boxes of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad at Wallaston. The unoccupied houses owned by Nathan Nickerson and Henry Fenno at WallaSton and Henry G. Fay and the John Holden estate at WallastOn Park were entered and the electric bells and connections stolen. They also broke into the clubhouse of the Wallaston Golf Club at Norfolk Downs and golf sticks and balls were stolen from the lockers. They were recovered few days after the burglary by Officer Connolly in a cluvert near the WallastOn depot.
 The ages range from to 15 years. This embryo Jesse James gang had built a number of huts in the thicketS of the lowlands of Wallaston, where they had hidden their plunder. They had utilized the electrical appliances stolen from the houses mentioned to connect the huts for electrical communication. The members of the youthful gang belong to very good families, and the injured parties are dis inclined to prosecute the offenders. For this reason the police refuse to divulge the names of the boys.

long. They decay mentally and physi-


 cally."
 Bland in reply said that no one on
 the floor would impugn Loud's hon. esty of purpose, but might criticize his management of the bill.
 At another stage of the discussion Loud became engaged in colloquy with his collea gue from California, Cas- tie, who had been arguing in favor of a reduction of this appropriation for mail transportation. Castle proposed that the amount be reduced from thirty millions to three millions eight hundred thousand, claiming that this would be equivalent to 1 cent per pound on ESQ., COG, 900 pounds. Loud turned upon his California colleague and in tones of deep disgust said:
 If I had a 10-year-old boy. MT. Chairman, who was as ignorant Of facts and got his figures so confused, or so inaccurate as my associate rom California, I would be tempted to drown him for a damned fool" (Great laugh ter)
 Loud explained that the Postoffice Committee in fixing the amount to be paid railroads acted on the estimates submitted by the Postoffice Department and that it was incumbent upon Con- gress to provide the department with the amount requested for railroad mail transportation.
 After further debate the House passed the postoffice appropriation bill, which has been under consideration since Wednesday, The main points of attack to-day were the appropria- tions of $30, ,000 900 for railway transpor- tation of mails and S171,000 for special facilities between New York and New Orleans, and $25,OoO for special facilities from Kansas City to Newton, Kans. These items annually attract more or less of a contest. This year the op- position seemed to be less intense All efforts to reduce the appropriation for railroad transportation signally failed. and the vote on the Southern mail sub- sidy was 77 to 9S against striking out. By neat parliamentary maneuVer1ng the opponents of the subsidy were pre- vented from getting a direct vote on motion to recommit with instructions.

Gladstone's Condition Worse.

LONDON, March 19.-The Pail Mall Gazette says Gladstone's general con- dition is appreciably worse. It adds: 'It was lis own wish to be moved to Ha- warden with as little dday as possible. Whatever the precise nature of the facial pains, neuralgia or the presence of some unhealthy growth, there can be no doubt that, though intermittent, they have occasioned severe suffering, and 1t necessarily follows that his physical powers and hearts action have become gravely enfeebled."

Farmers May Yet Hope.

WOODLAND, March 19-One of the oldest and most experienced farmers in the Statehas not lost hope on account of the lack of rain. He says this season re- minds him of the spring of 1860. At this time of the month the rainfall was as deficient as it is now. But on the 22d of March it began to rain and continued at intervals until the last of April. On the 5th day of April Putah Creek over ran it's banks. The hay crop was spoiled that year, but the wheat crop was one of the best ever harvested in the county.
