wife, whom he met while being educated in
New York, was an American. Having served
in the preceding war for Cuban independ-
ence, Valdez felt 1T a duty to join the in
Surgents in the present cause.
Miss Valdez was unable to speak English
till three years ago. but now converses flu
emily in the language. She recalls visits TO
her fathers house from Marti, one OF the
prominent leaders, with whom she was well
acquainted; Rouloff, the Russian, who Of
fered his services to Cuba Carlos Cespides
and other well-known patriots. She is an en-
thusiastic Cuban herself and expects to re-
turn to the island as soon as 1T is safe. She
says the stories of atrocities committed by
Spanish soldiers against helpless Cuban
women must be true. She had knowledge Of
several cases that happened at the begin
ming of the war. Even before the trouble
arose, Cuban women were frequently in
suited by Spanish soldiers on the streets of
Havana. One of her friends, a schoolmate
in the convent where she was educated, had
a narrowing experience. The girls father
was killed, too. The Spanish then sent the
mother from the island and put her six
children on ships to different parts of the
world, thus completely disrupting the fam
lily. On an outgoing ship to Spain Miss Val
dezs friend was approached by Spanish OIL
GERS, who demanded her jewels The girl
threw her rings and trinketS into the sea
rather than have them fall into the possess
sion of the officers. The officers offered her
many indignities on the ship. She finally
made her way back to Key West from
Spain.

AN EXILE FROM CUBA.
Miss VaIdez's Father Was Killed in
the Present War.

There is one family in indianapolis anx-
iously waiting for the war in Cuba to be
over, and one young woman in particular,
who cannot come into her own till peace
settles over the island. Alta Polly Y Valdez,
a young woman Of about twenty-five years,
is living with her mother, at No. 619 Cincin-
natl street. Miss Valdez's father Ramon
Valdez, was a captain in Maxine Garcia
command, recruited at Cienfuegos, at the
beginning Of the present war, and in an en-
gagement with the Spaniards near that
place macnete was run through his heart
He had sent his wife and daughter, as a
matter of precaution, to Key West, and
there they received news of his death,
through a long delayed letter from his
brother. who was in the same command
This was three years or so ago. Valdez
owned large plantation near Cienfuegos,
besides houses in Havana but Of the bene-
fits of this property the wife and daughter
in this city cannot avail themselves till the
war ends, for indeed. the plantation is in
ruins and there is no income from the Ha-
vana houses. Valdez was one of the officials
of the Havana street-railway lines. His

Ell IN the better understanding of the terri
tory already won, and especially in the real
iZatlon that the vast extent of modern

A VISIT TO ToLSTOI.
Col. w. II. Holloway Calls on the Fa-
nous Old Russian.

The following is an extract from recent
letter from Col w r. Holloway, written at
Moscow, Russia: II came here two days
ago with Miss Lillian Bell, of Chicago, the
well-known writer, and Mrs. Gibson of
Colorado. Miss Bell is here for the Ladies'
Home Journal, OF Philadelphia. Our Consul
Thomas Smith met us at the station and
we have been on the go ever since. You
know there are two Chinese walls inside of
the city, and that no end of battles have
been fought on the site of the old part of
the city The old city was burned twice,
once by Napoleon, and human bones and
skulls found every time an excavation
is made. There are six hundred churches,
monasteries and nupneries here. 1t is all
Russian; far more interesting than Peters,
burg. We saw Russian opera at the I'M
perial Opera House last night. 1T was good
but not great. The opera house has six gall
leries and is beautiful. This morning we
went to call on Count Tostoi and family
Yesterday the daughter waited an hour at
the house of a friend, where Miss Bell and
Mrs Gibson had promised to call, but they
missed her. We were told by the servants
they We're not at home, but we insisted on
sending in our letter of introduction, or,
rather, Miss Bells letter from Minister
White, at Berlin The son came out and
said his father was at home, and he was
sure would see US. We were ushered up
stairs The old count came in and after
ward the countess and daughter. They all
speak English and are charming people. We
remained an hour and were delightfully."- en-

U. S. MAIL STREET CARS.
Contract the Company Has with the
Government.

Postmaster Sahm yesterday received a
letter from the second assistant postmaster
general saying that an order had been is
sued requiring the contractor who carried
the mail to and from the Union Station, to
also carry the mail to and from the street
cars which stop at the postoffice to deliver
mail pouches from the substations and to
receive mail for these stations. j. p, Stew
art, of Clinton, Mo-, is the contractor, and
Frank Bird, of this city, the subcontractor.
At present there is a special messenger
employed at 81 a day to carry the pouches
from the street cars to the postoffice and
from the postoffice to the cars. But as
the contract the government has with the
street-railroad company IS exactly like
those it makes with steam railroads for
carrying mail, the department proposes to
have the transfer of the mail to and from
the cars of the street-railroad company
come under the other contract.
The street railroad is paid a rate per
mile for carrying the mail, and is naturally
glad to get such contract at almost any
rate for the carrying of mai. affords a
protection in case of strikes or riots which
is not enjoyed by cars not thus employed.
All the cars on the Brightwood line are
labeled as United States mail cars. This
line passes Station =. The College-avenue
and IIlinois-street line carries the mail to
Station A, and six cars on this line are
marked i'm the same manner

FOUNDERS DAY At BUTLER
An Address by Prof. Il. s. Ames in the
Chapel.

The exercises in observance of Founders
day were opened in the college chapel at
Butler last night with prayer by Rev.
Jabez Hail. of the Bible School. After a
song, Calm as the Night" by Miss
Georgia Calvin, with Miss Johnson as &C
companist, President Scot Butler intro
duced Prof. T. S. Ames who delivered the
address of the evening, saying, in part:
Human life is limited. Just as all IN
dividuals share the common characteristics
of physical nature, of morality, of ration
atty just so they are all under limitations
The vision of the grown man may far sur
pass that of the child. but the horizon exists
for both. Through all the changing forms
of physical, intellectual and spiritual life
the limits are unfailing. though variable
factors. This fact of limitation and the
relatively of mans knowledge has been va
rfously interpreted. With Spencer il became
agnoSticiSm, with Browning and TennySon
a poetic faith beyond knowledge and in
Byron and Schopenhauer complete pessim-
ism But a positive Interpretation is also
possible, for every limit is not only a check
to action, but also a challenges to further
discovery. This is true OF natural barriers,
such as mountains and oceans. They forbid
the timid, the shOrt-Sighted, the mediocre
man. but they invite and implore men of
intelligence, faith and courage. This recog-
milton of restraint and the impulse TO over
come it constitute the very means and mo-
tive, Of progress Limits DO not simply
to promised lands. This is shown in modern
times. when the ocean, heretofore an inn
p8 ssable limit became a highway. by
which the compass enabled men 10 obliter-
ate every physical barrier to travel between
the polar seas.
THE meaning OF such achievements Of
modern science is found in the fact that
willie muititudes of new problems spring
up in the place of every one solved, yet
by a momentary insight, there is often
gained completely new point Of view from
which the contradictions and doubts OF CEN
turtles may be resolved. Increase in boun-
lasfa all
tory-that Is of positive achievement The
growing optimism, II it may be anything

Profitable investments of savings is the
root of prosperity. This makes the compe-
tence, the fortune. Steady gains added to
the principal soon make a large aggregate.
But taking care of money is no child's play.
1t requires good judgment, experience and
information. Many men want to make
money too fast and take risks to get large
interests and often lose the principal. Fair
interest, combined with security, is the sem
sible thing to seek for There are many
people who have made or inherited money
who have not the time nor the inclination
to look after the details of investments. An
agent who can be relied on is a desideratIm
