Aid for Cuba.

1t should not, and we believe that it
will not be necessary to do more than
acquaint our citizens with the appeal
that has been made for relief for the
suffering people of Cuba in order to
secure a general and liberal response.
Such effort as has already been made
for that purpose has been too little
successful. 1t is known that there are
not less than 900 people in Cuba in
a state of restitution. They must be
cared for by sympathizing friends with
out the island; since their sufferings
are matter of indifference or pleasure

A circular comes from Stillwell Post

recites that I'VE" the members latter

our condition as pensioners, have de-

to all eX-soldiers and their friends to
get together and agree to support no
candidate for congress who will not
promise to support a certain bill And
their bill, that is to relieve their dis
tressed condition as pensioners, is that
"all ex-Union soldiers shall be placed on
the pay roll at one dollar per day during
the remainder of their lives" If any
"ex-Union" soldier is getting less than
that now he is to receive that amount.
If he is getting no pension all he will
have to do will be ito exhibit hts dis
charge to a county clerk, swear he was
honorably discharged, get three free
holders to make affidavit that they
know the ex-Union soldier represented
in the discharge to be the man holding
said discharge to be genuine" and on

are the unpensioned. Robert P. Porter,

Funeral Services Held by the Va

DRY of the Departed Leader.

NEW YORK, Feb 2O.-The funeral
services over the remains of Miss Fran
ces e. Willard. president of the Worlds
and National w. C. T o.. took place
in the Broadway tabernacle today.
The service was held in this ty by the
official decree of the w. c. T. U.
On Thursday next a service will be
held at Evanston, III. Before final in
terment takes place, however, the body
will lie in state in Willard hall, at the
w. c. T. U. temple at Chicago, proba-
bly, a greater portion of Wednesday
next, and, while en- route TO the West
ern metropolis, will also lie in state
for a short time in Churchville, n. Y,
Miss Wizards birthplace.
The church was crowded, among the
attendants being many women from
neighboring states, representing the
state unions.
A great number of floral tributes had
been received, and these, together with
palms, were used as decorations in the
church Such names as those of Helen
Gould, Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Anna
Shaw and many of the w c. T. US
prominent world representatives were
written on the cards attached to the
floral gifts. In pursuance of a telegram

Bountyism and BIN etaIIism

Between Republican "bimetallism,"
an undefnable, glittering generality
and European sugar bountyism, there
is noticeable parallel. The national
convention declared for "bimetal-
lism' when it could be brought about
by the aid Of other metallic money ma
tons. Forthwith a commission was
sent abroad to commune with the ma
tons. France was the only willing
Barkis it found. Germany smoked it's
pipe and reflected and said nothing
The mortgage-laden junkers were
favorable, but that horrible animal, Of
tialities of mischief, the Social De-
mOcracy, was opposed. So MIGUEL, the
fnancier of William the Sudden, mere
ly smoked his pipe and looked wise.
Across the channel went the commits
sioners and their French aid. What
ratio? asked Hicks Beach. Fifteen and
a half to one, responded the French
man, and I'VE accept that" echoed
Wolcott. Nit" said Hicks-Beach.
And Republican bimetallism thereupon
collapsed. Wolcott ct al. packed up
their debated balloon and came home
prating about filing it with gas some
other day and attempting another as
cension.
Germany, Austria, Belgium and Hol-
land find sugar bountyism veritable
old man of the sea, whom they char
itably allowed to mount their Shout
ders years ago and who refuses to dis
mount now, although his weight is be-
coming unbearable. He is strictly tenn
perate in his habits, and Sinbad's de-
vice fails on him. France imagines the
weight upon the shoulders to be due
to something else. to the American

AT q THE J THEATERS.

Cissy Fitzgerald she of the twinkling toes
the agile ankles and the unctuous eyelid
was the attraction which last evening drew
to the Metropolitan audience, for Sunday
night, unusually large and unusually appre-
ciative. 1t was the first appearance in this
city of the original 1'Gaiety Girl" and ST.
Paul took kindly to The Tricky Little May
bud"
1t was not entirely the wink that capti-
waited, though one fired point blank is allur-
ingly electric. 1t was not the dancing alone
that won the house, alike from pit to dome.
though there was a poetry as to motion and
frankness as to lingerie that were surpris-
ingy effective. 1t not the striking man
nerism nor the open-eyed innocence nor the
easy abandon, any one in itself, that called
out the applause. 1t was the piquant flavor
Of the combination of all that proved ire
sistible. 1t was the Gaiety Girl apparently
that the people wanted; at least that is what
they received, and there seemed abundant
satisfaction.
1t is difficult to dvest the dancing of the
sauce tartare of the dancers self, but ad-
hitting this to be possible, the net result
would still be one of graceful and harmo-
NOUS action. Having had all, one perhaps
would not enjoy the dancing without the

the dancing, would prove hardly more salts

The hoop skirt dance, introduced as a d.
version between the second and third acts
of the farce, seemed to find the most popu-
lar favor, and it's end left the audience in a
most Oliver Twistian state of mind There
were three recalls, rewarded with nothing
more satisfactory than a fash of smile and
wink and bow. Then the orchestra entered
into the contest, and only an explanation
from the MANAGEMENT that Miss FjtzperaId
had been travelling all day, and was really
unable to respond, ended the struggle in
which the people seemed to be determined to
win.
But Cissy Fitzgerald is not by any means
the sum total Of The Founding" Without
her there would still be a wonderfully funny
farce, not prim, it is true, but clever in its
lines and situations and with a bewildering
rapidity of action. Without going into de-
tail, there ares founding in search of a
mother, a henpeckeds husband in search OF
peace confding and dutiful daughter, a
miss with marital complications and a gaiety
dancer who serves to involve the situation
whenever there is chance that the plot
may unravel itself.

General Passenger Agent Frank I.
Whitney, of the Great Northern road
in commenting Saturday upon the BIZ
section of the passenger rates to the
Pacific coast and it's effect upon the
rapidly increasing volume of business
moving to Alaska, gives it as his opin-
ion that, while the roads would suf-
fer somewhat in point of revenue, the
radical reduction would, after all, be
blessing in disguise, and would tend
TO attract great numbers of people to
the western portion of the United
States-the portion which is at this
time most talked of, and, incidentally
the most prosperous. Mr.. Whitney
says:
The richness Of the Alaska terri
tory is established by a mass of reli-
able testimony, and the development of
that country has become an important
factor in the industrial and railway
situation in the Northwest. Making ev-
cry allowance for the over-infiuence of
enthusiasm, there seems to be little
doubt that a material addition Of the
worlds supply Of yellow stuff will come
in 1888 from our Arctic domain, and,
if there is anything in indications, it
will continue to come for years.
Next year California will celebrate
its semi of the discovery of
gold in that state, and present a record
lars of the sound money metal. With
fifty years before it, Alaska is going to
do something. The country is a sur
prise box. At first it was considered
merely a glacial wonderland, which of
fered a little business in seals. The
seals have already paid royalty into
the federal treasury in excess of the
original cost of the country-$7, 200, 900.
In fisheries it is destined to lead the
world. 1t already has the largest sal
mon canneries, and nowhere else are
there such cod fisheries; indeed, the
edible fishes of its waters number over
fifty kinds. Oil and coal are found
Here are samples Of a semi-anthra-
cite coal from Cook Inlet and of crude
petroleum or rock Oil from Copper riV-
er, where it pours out of the hills, in
one place in sufficient volume to fill q
four-inch pipe. A representative of the
Standard Oil company went out not
long ago to visit that section. 1t is
the gold of Alaska that attracts the
attention of the world just now, but
these side resources will come in for
attention and development later. And
Alaska seems to have more and more
resources the more the country is in
Vestigated. Now comes Secretary Will
son, of the national department Of ag-
riculture, who says it will become not
ed for agriculture and produce race
of seafaring men who will make the
American navy the pride Of the nation.

r1r. Dingiey's Silk Hat.

With whatever sort of gear Mr..
Dingley make deck his head when he
is in Lewiston, in the vacations of
congress, he bends to the conventional
tiles of the national capital and of his
position as the floor leader of his party
by surmounting his brain-holder with
silk tile when in Washington. Jerry
Simpson, that infant terrible of Medi-
cine Lodge, between whom and the
speaker there is a continual state Of
war, made the discovery the other day
that the silk hat, worn by the grand
chieftain of the noble band of protec-
tors of domestic manufactures, was
made in England or France, or some
foreign part. Taking the occasion Of
enc Of Mr.. Dingley's numerous explain
ations of why his little continuance for
increasing revenue by taxing imports
and, at the same time, decreasing reve-
nue. by shutting out imports, did not
the Sockless One tainted him with
wearing a silk hat made by pauper
labor and imported, instead Of patro-
nizing home manufactures of head
gear
Mr.. Dingley gave evidence that this
incident annoyed him. He could hard
ly afford to say that he had not looked
into the hat to see the makers label,
for that would have shown him, the
leader, the examplar, to have been re-
miss in the performance of what all
the true disciples of his school know
is their primal duty But Dingley
would not be true to Yankee type and
self from so small fix as that 1t was
all a mere trick of the hat trade to
circumvent those Franco-A
who wanted their apparel made abroad.
The dealers merely took American
made hats and pasted in a label indi-
eating foreign make. Later he sought
testimony among the customs officers
that he had not committed the offense
mortal by wearing a French-made hat,
sured by them that there had not been
a silk hat imported for twelve years.
That seems to settle the nativity Of
Dingley's tile unless. indeed. with pro-
verbal Yankee frugality, he has worn
the hat more than twelve years.

NAT GOODWIN WEEDS.
Popular Actor Assisted by His Los d.
ing Lady in an Important
Event.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 2O-Nat c..
Goodwin, the actor, and Miss Maxine
Elliott, the leading lady of his company,
were married in this city at 1 o'clock
this afternoon. The ceremony was per
formed in the parlor of the bridal suite
at the Hollenden, Rev. DR.. P. Sprecher,
pastor of the Euclid Avenue Presby-
terrain church, officiating.
The only witnesses of the marriage
were Miss Gertrude Elliott, sister Of
the bride; Manager Appleton, Of the
Goodwin company; Mrs. Appleton and
Manager Frank A. Brobst of the Hol-
lenden.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs Goodwin were driven to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Boardman
on Euclid avenue, where they were en-
tertained at dinner.
Three weeks ago Goodwin received
official notice that his former wife had
secured a divorce from him in New
York. By the decree he was prohibited
from marrying again during the life
of his divorced wife. This prohibition,
while legally operative in New York
has no effect in this state.
