Miss katharine Breeds Lecture.

It is seldom that so young a lecturer as
Miss Katharine Breed, who will give her
Yellowstone Park lecture at the Propy-
laeum tomorrow night. is accorded the
honors which have been bestowed upon her.
Literally honors have been thrust upon
her. Beginning in a small way to color Ian
tern slides by an original process hitherto
unknown, her work attracted immediate at
tention from such art lecturers as Stod-
dard, Holmes and others, who were quick
to see the advantage of such aids, Her
first work went to Stoddard under the nom
de plume of Edwards Breed Mr.. Stod-
dard was greatly astonished when later he
discovered Edwards Breed to be woman:
A couple of years ago Miss Breed entered
the lecture field and being a woman of
culture and intelligence, besides having an
agreeable stage presence, her success was
at once assured. Everywhere she is re-
ceived with large and appreciative audi
ences. Last week she exhibited her views
and talked to an assemblage of people at
the Auditorium in Chicago, ana also at the
Chicago Art Institute. At the latter place
it is said 1.-THE hall was packed and the
aisles crowded with people standing.

a nation, have become so en-
crossed in money making as to be
Indifferent to distress.
"lntervention may be accom-.
panied by danger and expense,
but existence cannot be separated
from responsibility, and re-
sponsibility sometimes leads a

must sometimes incur danger for
a neighbor, and friend for a
friend.
"War is terrible thing and
cannot be defended except as a
means to an end, and yet it is
sometimes the only means by
which a necessary end can be Sc
cured. The State Furnishes its
own citizens by Imprisonment, or
even death, when counsel and
persuasion fail. War is the final
arbiter between nations when
reason and diplomacy are of no
avail.
Spain might not resist inter

she will recognize the right of the
United States TO act and imme-
diately Withdraw from Cuba. but
whether she resents Intervention
or not, the United States must
perform a plain duty.
"Spain has only herself to
blame for the condition of affairs
in Cuba. If she denies to her
former subjects the rights of war
and calls the Cuban army a mob,
let her remember the words of
Victor Hugo The mob is the
human race in misery No
nation can afford to make its
people miserable.
eff the Cubans prefer death to

Spanish rule has robbed life ofioy
