her friends put up the 'needf1l" for
the renewal
What become of the evictod dead!
Come over to the angles Of the walls
and there you will find, piled IN
every corner, heaps Of mouldering
bones mingled with tattered grave
clothes, long black tresses and grin
ming skulls. Many Of the graves
may still be seen yawning widely
for other occupants. These sights
are not calculated to inspire cheerful
thoughts nor 10 impress one with
the idea that Spaniards and Spanish
descended colonists are over careful
of their departed friends remains.
Still there are numerous G1e
stones and marbles there, mortu-ly
urns and portrait busts. but these
adorn the graves Of the moge fortu-
nate rich and are leased il p-rpe tut
ty. Many of these are worthy of
inspection for their beauty Of cav,
ing and their wealth of imaga,y in
epitaph, since here, as in olh.r
places, the virtues of the dead and
gone are recited and their vices ig
nored.
Against the frowning fortress
walls are the columbaire-to speak
literally, the pigeon holee-into
which the wealthier people are
thrust feet foremost, after they have
died The colum BRAUN is long and
deep and narrow like an old fashion
ed brick oven with a marble slab
or door, which, after the body has
been placed within is Theoretically
sealed Aud here the dead are left
to simmer in the dreadful tropial
heat; but that may seem vastly bet
ter than to be- planted in a shallow
grave, with the dread certainty of
being "rssurrected" within three,
four or five years and what there is
left eff one, tossed into Oh angle of
the walls
Grief with the Spaniards Is short
lived if we may judge from the con-
ditions Of their cemeteries. III the
tropics particularly, where one might
expect greater care on the part OF
the authorities. If only from a SAM
tary considerations, attention to the
departed ia more lax than in the
north. Except in large cities, such
as Havana and the city of Mexico
the spots selected for interment oi
J the dead are in a state of wSefu
neglect. The graves, mostly indicated
by plain wooden crosses, painted
black, and leaning to every point Of
the compass, are sunken in; while
the open pits from which those
whose terms bave expired have beer
removed are numerously interspers
ed
Decay soon sets in within the
tropics, not alone Of the morta
frame, but of the artificial environ
} msnts of wood and the yestures
} The cadaver is hardly out OF sigh
before the destructive forces of ma
ture are at work and externally The
graves are subject to swift change
: in few days they are covered will
carpet Of green, quick growing
} plants and in the course OF season
, if left to itself, the place Of sepulsur'
} is hidden out of sight.
This general neglect OF cemetariel
is noticed throughout the West In
dies, and particularly in the Spanish
} islands, though in the English pc
sessions, such as Jamaica and Barba
, does, one finds pleasant contras
in the country churohyards, which
adjacent to neat little places Of wor
, ship, are carefully attended to.

BORCHERS is OUT.
George Retired From the Portland
Ball Club Management.

George Borchers, one of the numer-
Gus ball-pitching "phenoms" turned out
by Sacramento, and who has been man
aging the Portland team in the North
Pacific League, is at present out OF the
game.
At meeting Of the league in Tacoma
the other day Borchers surrendered the
franchise for the Portland club to the
league, which Immediately turned 1t
over to a joint stock company headed
by Ivan Humason and A. Fl. Deyers.
Borchers stepped out as manager and
player
The retirement of Borchers from the
league was somewhat sensational. The
trouble is said to have arisen over the
failure of the chief to pay his men since
the opening of the season. 1t is said II
Borchers had made payments, or even
announced a payday, instead of max
ing excuses, he could have sailed along
serenely for some time yet.
At a meeting Of the league in Taco
ma last week Borchers was notified that
if he did not make a satisfactory show
ing by last Saturday he would be dis
charged.

DOVES WILL SUFFER.
Water Holes Will be Sought by
SpOrtsmeu TODAY

Under the law doves will be hunted
pursued, killed." ETC.. on and after to-
day, the 10th day Of July, and there
will be many gun abroad to-day
with man or boy behind it. The birds
are reported to be very plentiful in
localities contiguous to water. The dry
season and absence of water in places
where it usually exists in summer has
caused the birds to concentrate in IA
vored spots.
If the weather be not too hot, and
one can find a regular pass" where
he can sit in the shade and shoot (aO
doves as they fly past. the sport is fair,
as it takes good Judgment to stop a dove
when under full Roadway. The birds
are excellent for the table, especially
when made into a pie or stew.
In the season when doves become
ripe" there is great danger of fires be-
ing set by gunners, and every person
who goes afield at this time of the year
should exercise the greatest care when
shooting in high grass or near standing
grain. What is better still, no one
should shoot in high grass or grain
when it is dry as finder.
Wherever water-hole or drinking
place for doves can be found to-day,
there will be gunners be found lying in
wait for the tOothSOme birds

and patriotic policy of President Nc
kinley in exhausting all peaceful meth
DDS to accomplish our purpose before
resorting to the stern arbitrament OF
battle and his wise forethought in pre-
pairing in time of peace for the calam-
ity of war; and we applaud. the vigor,
skill and ability which has thus far
resulted in unbroken and glorious vic
tory on land and seas, and which prom
ises a speedy and complete triumph
for American arms and American
principles.
I'm the near future important prob
lens will arise out Of the war in which
the nation is now engaged. Among
others will be the disposition to be
made of conquered territory. The peo-
pie can safely leave the wise and patr1-
otto solution of the questions to a Re
publican President and a Republican
Congress.
I'VE favor all measures which will
promote the restoration and growth of
our merchant marine
I'VE send greetings to the soldiers
and sailors of the Republic whose un-
selfish patriotism shall receive the
homage of a grateful people"
A resolution providing for the change
of plan of meeting from annual to BIZ
ennial sessions was adopted after con-
siderable discussion, the final vote be-
ing unanimous.
A resolution providing for the admis-
sion of women as members and dele
gates was also adopted without de-
bate
The Committee on League Work pre-
scented in it's report a resolution against
the Incorporation Of State Republican
Leagues. It was adopted unanimously.
When the committee on time and
place for the next meeting made its
report it favored a date in 1900, and
recommended that the Executive Com
mittee choose the place. This was
vigorously fought, especially by The
Minnesota men, who had a boom for
st. Paul we'll developed. A motion to
name st. Paul as the place for the
convention in 1900 was tabled, and
the committees recommendation was
adopted.
Adjournment was taken until to-
morrow.
A mass meeting was held on the ex-
position grounds tonight.

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Old Ladies' Red Cross Lawn
Party Last Evening.

The lawn party given last evening by
the old ladies of the Marguerite Home,
at Seventh and Q streets, for the benefit
Of the Red Cross Society, drew out a
large assemblage Of people of both
sexes. 1t was a fitting celebration of
the fall of Santiago de Cuba.
There was plenty Of patriotic music,
some Of the best singers in the city hav-
ing volunteered their services, and
President Irwin of the California Cam
era Club delivered one of the most de-
ightful illustrated lectures imaginable.
Mr.. Twins lecture dovetailed into
the views he exhibited, so that'it was
hard to tell where one stopped and the
other commenced. 1t was a genuine il
Illustrated lecture. The incidents lead
ing up to the present war with Spain
We're told with the simplicity of a
fairy tale, yet with the directness of a
master, and the slides so illustrated the
lecture that the auditor might imagine
he was looking upon the reality. The
crowd was appreciative, but of all views
thrown upon the canvas two never fall
ed to call forth rounds of hearty ap-
plause. They were "Old Glory" and
Our Man at Manila" Admiral Dewey.
Another picture which ELECTED rounds
of applause was that of Cyrus Miller.
son of Frank Miller of this city, a
cadet on the peerless battleship Oregon.
(Mr. Miller, by the way, was master Of
ceremonies last evening) The series of
views took in many of the commanders
and vessels of the navy which have
recently made brilliant history, views in
Manila, San Francisco, Spain and Cuba,
and to the end the people We're enter
tanned and instructed.
The ladies of the home had turned the
commodious lawn into veritable para
disc, and after the entertainment the
many refreshment booths were very Ito
orally patronized. That the Red Cross
Society will realize substantial assist
ance, and that those present appreciat-
ed the efforts made for their comfort
and entertainment goes without saying.
The old ladies Of the home deserve
much credit for the pleasant surprises
they had provided.

RIOTOUS DEMOCRATS.
They Come Together in Convention
With a Clash.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Seven Demo
cratic Congressional Conventions were
held in Chicago to-day. The conven-
ton in the Fifth District developed the
widest confusion. Out of the chaos,
z. T. Noonan came forth a victor, but
the work Of the convention will I'M
doubtedly be tested.
The opponents of Noonan claimed the
roll Of wards was not called, and when
the nomination Of Noonan was declared
by the Chairman there was a rush over
chairs and tables, and the factions came
together with a clash. The police in
terfered after many blows had been
struck, but as no one was seriously in
jured arrests were not made

OPEN-AIR CONCERT.
There Will be Music in the Plaza
Sunday Evening.

An open air concert is promised for
next Sunday evening in the City Plaza.
A committee of energetic young gentle
men nave made preliminary canvass
Tor a series of concerts and have met
with so much encouragement that they
believe it feasible to have regular week
ly concerts during the season
There have been so many calls on the
public for subscriptions to help along
the soldiers since the war was begun
that it was feared the usual summer
concerts would have to be abandoned
this year. 1t looks, however, as if peo-
pie want these nights of music and are
willing to put up the money to pay for
them

Justice Davis happened to be in an
accommodating humor, and Mr.. Corco-

NOT GUILTY.
A Jury Acquits the Proprietor of
the Market.

Odell & Schultz, proprietors Of the
New York meat market, were tried by
a jury in the City Justices court yes
terday on a charge of exposing I'M
wholesome meat for sale, and were ac-
quilted.
Milk, Food and Market Inspector Me-
gowan, who complained against the
men, testified that he found a piece of
meat in the refrigerator of the shop
which he took to the individual members
of the City Board of Health, all of
whom had pronounced it unfit to eat.
On the other hand, the proprietors of
the market testified that they had no
intention of selling the meat in question,
and that only a small piece of the quar-
ter was tainted. The jury were out
about ten minutes, and brought in a
verdict of not guilty.

JOHN DOE.
The Fellow Who Fractured Mamie
Mariners Rib.

Mamie Martinez, the unfortunate
woman who recently had rib kicked
in by a visitor who asserted that she
had robbed him of 500, yesterday
swore out a John Doe warrant for the
arrest Of her assailant, and as the po-
lice believe they have at last learned
who he is, his arrest will doubtless soon
be effected.
1t is expected that if the man can
be found he may be induced to swear
to a complaint against the woman who
is accused by the Martinez woman Of
robbing him. 1t will be remembered that
the latter declared her innocence and
laid the deed at the door of a woman
named Anita Sequard, who was in her
room at the time, and who was subse-
quently arrested.

SPRINGFIELD QIl), July 14.-It
