WORK OF TIE JUuqA
Its Members Just as Patriotic
and Useful as Those
Who Fight.

The slurs which have been from time to
time cast upon the Cuban patriots who re-
side in the United States and are promi-
nent in the organization commonly known
as the junta most people recognize as I'M
just. De LONE, the disgraced Spanish
minister, characterized them as towards
who are afraid to fight, but who stay here
and do the talking" Coming from such
a source the gallant Cubans to whom he
referred never took pains TO reply to the
SANDER.
AS a matter of fact, nearly every one Of
the Cubans prominent in the junta have
already proved their mettle on Cuban bat
tlefelds. Minister Palma himself served
in the ten years war with bravery and
distraction. General Nunez, DR.. Castillo
and Or. Jose Ianuza, who are among the
most active of the resident Cubans, all
have earned laurels on the field.
But it is not because they have done q
certain amount OF fighting and are entitled
to peace that the members Of the junta
remain in the United States. They are
here because it is here that they can best
serve the cause of free Cuba.
Properly speaking, there is no such in
stitution in the United States as a Cuban
junta. General Marti, who brought about
the present rebellion and who afterward
was brutally cut to pieces at the battle Of
Dos Rios, found that a junta could not
legally be organized, and the plans which
had been made for such a body were
changed, and it was decided that the Gu
ban republic be represented in the United
States by a delegation.
1t must be acknowledged that with the
means at its disposal the junta has accom-

plished wonders for Cuba. In a diplomatic
way Minister Palma, Gonzales de Quesada
and others haye kept alive the sentiment
in favor Of their struggling brethren at
Washington. There they have gained the
respect and confidence of the men in charge
Of the affairs of our government. Even
when the Cleveland administration was
most opposed to any act Of Intervention on
the part of the United States SENIORS Palma
and Quesada were always accorded the
highest consideration at the hands Of the
president and his secretary of state.
In the matter of obtaining and forward
ing supplies for the insurgents in the field
the junta has done remarkable work. In
one year a greater amount OF arms md
ammunition was sent to the island than
had been forwarded in the entire tea
years war. This department., undeT the
direction'of General NuneK, has been the
hope of the struggling patriots.
When Gomez was most screly pressed
and when the star of Cuba appeared 10 be
on the wane because of a hack OF nuni+
lions of war, the commissary departments
of the junta came to the rescue, and suc-
cor was given the almost hopeless patriots
who were fighting against such fearful
odds in the hills of Cuba.
The direction or Affairs OF the 3un3a 10
this country has been e~minsntly satiafacv
tory to the Cubans at home and abroad.
Time and again President Oisneros and
General Gomez have commanded with un-
stinted praise upon the good work aoeons-
plished by Minister Palma, DR.. Guitsras,
General Nunez, Mr.. Quesada, DR.. Castillo,
Treasurer Guerra, DIR. Lanuza and others
who have been identified prominently with
the conduct of the junta.
Tomas Estrada Palma, delegate and
minister plenipotentiary of the Cuban re-
public and head of the SO called tuHtas
was born in Bayamo, Cuba, In July, 1885.
Though a man of small physique and OF
an exceedingly retiring manner, General
Palma fought calamity in the fierce and
uneven conflict that ragged from 1868 to
1878. He was always a patriot who loved
his country sufficiently well to fight for
her in the field or on the rostrum. During
the present struggle he has several times
expressed a desire to return to the island
and battle at the side of Gomez n Ma
Geo, but his superiors would not consent.

by the commonplace world and in a few
years will be but a tradition.
For almost fourscore years the Sepa-
ratist Society OF Zear has existed in Tus-
carawas county, o. The impending dis
solution is due to a lack of young blood,
the introduction of modern ideas and the
accumulation Of debts.
Tho history of this peculiar Sect its or
igin, its long continued loyalty to the doc
trines and customs of the founders and its
gradual lapse into worldly ways, isstrange-
ly interesting. Like the pilgrim fathers,
this little band of Separatists left their
home in Wurttemberg, Germany, for con-
sciences sake. They sought the religious
liberty denied to them in the fatherland.
They did rot find it easy to reach the asy-
lum in America. When almost. in sight Of
the new land, their vessel was driven back
by a furious storm, and the second voyage.
which was anything but smooth, lasted 80
days. Their Quaker friends in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania received them hospi-
rabiv.
In the northern part of Tuscarawas
county they found an ideal spot on the
banks of the Tuscarawas river. The land
was fertile and well watered with springs
and streams, and the forests were COM
posed of trees splendid for building pur-
poses. A tract Of 5000 acres, a Kevolu-
tioaary claim, was bought from an Eng
lish Quaker, and a hut was put up, in
which the 30 pioneers dwelt until spring,
when more huts were built, and they were
joined by the other members oil the party,
who had remained in the east with their
Quakarfrieads. Altogether they numbered
about a25.
They adopted a constitution on April
Is, 1919, choosing Joseph al. Baurneler as
theis header, a position which be occupied
untiI his death, in 1853. He was an auto
Graf, hut a wise one, and his firinness and
good Judgment prevented the dissolution
which threatened the society Gu account Of
the rebellion of some of it's members
against the oppressiyoly strict form of gov
ernment which had been established. Con
c~essions We're finally made to them, tho
management being placed in the hands OF
three trustees and an executive committee
of fvl members, constituting a court of
s%apneal. One member of each of these
boards was chosen annually, men and
women Of the "second class having the
right to vote.
The CHILDREN were under the direct con
troll Of the society. At first they were TAX
en- from their parents at an early age and
placed in the community nursery until
they had passed the school age, IA years,
when they could return to their parents.
When they attained their majority, they
might, il they desired, become members
of the society by signing the constitution
and covenant, giving up all that they had
or expected to have, but they remained
one year on probation. They then became
first degree members, but after a trial of
several years might attain second degree

Angoras which have lately become the fad.
There are many of these In Chicago, most

These cat fanciers have got together and
organized. Their objects are to bring to-

rare cats definite classification and to see
that Chicago has a cat show once a year.
Mrs. Leland Norton, the recognized
western authority on catology, is the prime
mover in this new departure. Her famous
Drexel kennels are the home Of is mag

The Gainsborough is a very dressy para
sol and is made most often of colored and
figured silks, sometimes trimmed. with
numerous narrow rnffies or puffs of chiffon
or silk null along the edges and in some
cases extending six inches above the edge.
One dainty design of the canopy top
parasols was of a faint pink arnure.
Around the edge was laid a row of fine
black chantilly, the bordered edge being
uppermost. 1t was stretched fiat, and
around the edge of the parasol was a mar
row gauffering of black chiffon. 1t had a
Spanish upper edge. Onlthe handle was q
full rosette of black chiffon with a little
black velvet ribbon.
Anovelty in p~arasols is the tailor made.
This is of very fine satiny cloth in drab,
beige or gray with a light but graceful
design in black silk and beading between
the ribs. Another novelty is SO arranged
that the cover of the sparasol can be re-
moved and another put on at will,
handsome handle being provided: for as
many covers of as many different colors
as one may wish. This will doubtless ex-
actly fill the "long felt want of which
we read so much. For every day for
~youngish persons it is probable that the
fancy tartan plaid parasols will be consid-
cred best and most useful. The others are
all pretty, but for good, solid use the dark
silk parasols with the always elegant and
always costly knotted fringe are best.
Lace is to be one of the most potent fac
tors in the summer and late spring attire;
both black and white are to be used wher-
ever they can be and the other colored
laces wherever one may want them. Now
there is a very delicate and beautiful
white applique, the ground being the finest
and closest net with we'll defined figures
wrought upon or applied upon it. These
are fairly heavy. The edge has a sort OF
picot loop, which adds to Its Ightness.
A new valenciennes called normandy
val laco is extremely pretty. Between the
edge, which shows a regular valenciennes
figure, and the upper part with its regula-
ton pattern is a very open mesh, with
square dots drawing tho mesh apart in IT.
regular shapes. 1t is this which gives the
distinctive quality. Duchesse lace has at

Another novelty is black silk lace in a
design very like the crackled porcelain,
which doubtless gave it it's name, "craque-
let. There are three rows Of s~erpentine
weave along it, the lower one forming the
edge with a closp row of picot loops. The
edge reminds one of the real silk guipure.
