The illustrated lecture BIZ CIR. r. Burton

Mr. Holmes: began his description. Of the

desert and sea are changeless. They alone re-

Mr.. Holmes, otherwise he could never have
transmitted every detail so minutely, TO his
audience In the lecture he first describes the
town of Bougie in Cape Carbon and the ac-
companying pictures confirmed his statement
to the effect that it was one of the most
charming places one could visit. He next de-
scribed the journey from Bougie 10 the inte-
rior of the country which was made in dill
gence over a road cut TIN ough an enormous
wall Of rocks and stones. Tne descriptions of
the deserts were certainly interesting but

realism would have been lacking. The de-

THE TELE0RAMs CIRCULATION
CLAIM.

We take IL that from some recent OBJ
servations OF ours IL may have been dis
covered that we do not believe that the
Evening Telegram sold during the month
Of January last. as II claims to have done.
a daily average OF s6, 42l copies or any
thing reasonably approximating that or
that 1t sells anything like that number of
copies any day in the year.
OF course, we have reasons for doubling
the statement Of the Telegram. Some
of these reasons are better than others.
But there is one based on brosd and OBJ
vious principle that of itself is sufficient
to shake our faith In the Telegram
claim. 1t is as follows:
The city Of Providence has in round
numbers. population of 10000 The
population adjacent available for newspa-
per circulation il, say 90, 0Oo That makes
grand total Of 200, 600 people, men, wo-
men, children and babies.
Leaving the News out of tho court the
Bulletin claims a circulation OF 80, 400
copies every evening, the telegram claims
to sell 36, isi every evening. That is q
total circulation for the two evening pa
psrs of 72, 0O0 in round numbers.
Now NE do not believe that any such
number of newspapers are sold among
the 200, 600 population available to all the
newspapers offered in Providence every
evening. Aud we think that. on consid-
GRAFTON, few men of sense will believe it
either. A small calculation will show that
such newspaper output means that a
newspaper is bought every evening by
seven-twentieths OF all the men, women,
children and babies In the field. That
is, OF course. not only highly improbable,
but positively absurd.
Either the Bulletin or the Telegram is
grossly ovsrstating Its circulation in our
opinion. That no two newspapers in this
town could possibly each have so large
circulation as 36 600 would appear to bs
perfectly plain. Any one could gain So
great a patronage only at the expense of
the other. Needless to remark, we have no
reason to doubt that the Bulletin hos the
circulation it claims.

The announcement that Senator Walter
A. Read is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for the Office OF state treas
urer will be cordially received by his
many friends tlrjughout the state.
There are. TO he sure, other candidates OF
standing. but none moro fit than Senator
Read. and IL would be hard TO nnd any
man in public life moro deservedly rop-
ulsr. So tar as n candidate from the city
of Providence is concerned, Mr.. Sellew,
II he is u candidate, will likely be handi-
capped by geographical slderations. as
the out of town section has always held
the Office, and even US city folks must
admit that tile city can't claim too much,
even though IL may have perfectly
capable candidate to offer. Senator Rad
has the loyal support Of his fellow
citizens up in Glocrster, as has been often
demonstrated. lie is strong with his
comrades Of the q. A. X, and his public
record Of many years Of exceptionally
faithful service has given him an unusual
hold upon the people, regardless Of Iolit.

RELIGIOUS MUGwUMPs /?

In tho latest heresy case in the Presby-
terian church, the esteemed Journal Ad-
vaDces the opinion that the correctness
of the heretic's view do not enter into
the question, but the real point is that
DR. Mcuiifert has no right to hold them
and at the same time maintain that he is
Pre- rssbyterlan-they are not the views
Of the church, and although he has per-
feet right TO hold them he has no right
to do so under false pretenses, says the
journal ponderously. A good many
people will probably agree with this
opinion. The only curious thing about
1t is that. IL Is the Journals opinion.
Why can there not bs mIgwumps in re-
ligion as well as In politics. Has not
the journal frequently maintained with
much vigor and some skillfulness of
argument that citizen who is l;spub
lican could still vote the Dem ooratio
ticket without invalidating his standing
as a memter Of the Republican party?

In which latter year also she became editor
Of the Chicago Evening Post She was
one Of the organizers of the Prohibition
party and voluminous writer and
speaker on behalf Of the cause which she
advocated. Her Christian character, her
sincerity, and her persistent and skilIful
advocacy Of temperance reform accom-
plisnsd an immense deal in charging

DISTRESS OF CUBANs.


| Situation at Cienfuegos is Narrowing In
the Extreme.
Guantanamo, July 26-The following
pitfui appeal has been addressed by
the starving people of Cienfuegos to
Rear Admiral Sampson:
Honorable Sir-The Cubans, old
men, women and children, resident in
the town of Cienfuegos and this neigh
borhood are all dying of hunger. The
young men are all in the field with the
Cuban troops and have no shoes or
food. All the provisions in this town
are in the hands of the Spaniards. Gu
bans cannot obtain piece of bread, as
it is necessary to send everything to
the field. The Weyler system is in
high water. The situation is terrible.
If you, honorable sir, do not come
quick with our squadron to our help
and take possession of this town we
shall be lost. We beg you to precipi-
men, women and children shall die of
hunger in this town. Some of these
old men have four or five sons fighting
for freedom. This is our situation,
horrible situation. If the great peo-
pie of the United States do not come
quick in our help we are lost. For
Gods sake, come quick.
(Signed) SOME CUBANs."
Nothing can be done for the people
of Cienfuegos until that place is cap
tured. This will not be done for some
time.

TO SAVE THE COLON.
Lieutenant Hobson Arranges for the tx
ecution of His Plans.

Washington, July 24.-Lieutenant
Hobson had a long conference with
Assistant Secretary Allen, Captain
Bradford and several other officers OF
the navy department, regarding the
raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon. The lieutenant succeeded, while
in New York, in arranging with the
Merritt & Chapman Wreclxing company
for the execution of the plans he had
prepared for saving the vessels. The
wreckers have promised to get together
the pontoons, air bags and compressed
air apparatus which will be used to
tighten and right the ships, and will
send this material to Santiago from
New York on fast vessel within three
days Lieutenant Hobson is confident
that II the work can be undertaken
before a cyclone sets in, it will result
successfully.
Secretary Long says that the lieuten-
ants plan for raising the Colon seems
entirely feasible. The proposed plan
involves methods and appliances out
side of those usually employed in,
wrecl1ing. They necessitate the use of
air appliances of various kinds in right
log and raising the ship that rarely If
ever before have been used on vessels
of the size and weight of the Colon, and
although there is some doubt of its
success, the navy department officials
think the prize we'll worth the expert.
