 FAVORS A PERMANENT EXHIBIT.

am always in favor of any public demonstra- tion which will bring California to the fore and edu- cate the people. You can write pages and fill volumes, but the people will never read what has been written What you need is something to at tract them to given point and then have some thing there that will be impressed on their minds for all tlme-something that they can and must see and see plainly and when this is done something has been accomplished. would favor complete and comprehensive exhibit of all that California produces and as much other material as can be con- venienty procured, the exhibit to last as long as there is sufficient interest manifested in it to war rant its being kept open do not look at the finan- cal end of the thing at all {; that will take care of itself. Let us spend much money as is necessary and if it proves financial failure and an educational success it is grand success We may feel truly grateful-the end has been accomplished, the goal reached But we must not let matters end with the erection of few limsy buildings, to be torn down few months after their erecton-we want some thing permanent Of course we must realize that much good material will be collected which can only be borrowed for short time but there will also bea great deal which can be kept as long as necessary and renewed from time to time. What we want then is permanent building of good dimensions say 7ox3oo feet where there will be permanent exhibit of the best the State produces with some novelties thrown in to attract. Then we will have place where visiting strangers can go at any time and be both instructed and entertained. The cost of keeping such building will be slight and the results almost ncalculabe California has always been a point of attraction beckonng tourists hither from afar but there has been no one place where they, could be taken and shown all the wonderful resources of this glorious State The Mdwinter fair was grand conception, and the various jubees and iestas held from time to time have all been good in their way but we want something better first to attract attention and then to hold it.

 There is no doubt but that the next Legislature would make an appropria- tion if the matter was properly brought to it's attention. No time should be lost in getting ready for the exposition. A meeting called by either the Governor or Mayor for the purpose of discussing plans would be attended by represent ative men from all walks and stations in life. There is no reason why the ex position should not be a grand success, for the benefits derived will be shared by the entire Pacific Coast.

IS A GRAND
 SUGGESTION
Every County in the State Should contribute Toward
 the ExCOsitiOn.

CAPTAIN D. A. SMITH, adjutant of the Fifth Regiment Infantry, N. G. C. Of course the proposed exhibition is a grand project, but to carry it out it ought to be started by popular sub- scription. I do not believe in soliciting money from a few for such an event. would be something that every one
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-19

should contribute to, as every one will be interested in the celebration of the States semi-centennial anniversary. Possibly each county might raise a fund by small tax on property, and if the money so raised should happen to be more than needed, why the sur plus could be returned to the general fund of the contributing county. If such a fair is to be started, let it be popular movement, and let every county without exception make an in teresting exhibit if it's resources.

RocsEvELT's MISSING REPORT
A Seeming Disposition to Pigeon
hole the Paper.

Col. Roosevelt's report on the opera
tions Of his regiment will not be given
out by the War Department The refusal
is based upon the specious plea that no
report Of any colonel has yet been given
out. The real reason, il is intimated. is
because of the frank and pointed COM
ments contained in it, some of them in
no wise flattering to the Administration.
If it is not given out it will probably be
asked for in the shape of evidence by the
Alger Relief Commission.
Secretary Alger, who was asked yes
terday il he would not give an outline
of Col. Roosevelt's report, as many of
his friends in New York would like TO see
il just at this time. Alger stiffened up
and replied:
This Government is no political ma
chine
There is seemingly an evasive determi-
nation that even the whereabouts of the
report shall not be located. Gen. Corbin
says it has been sent TO Gen Miles Of
fee. This is denied by the attaches of
Gen. Miles office. Meanwhile Secretary
Alger says he has not seen the report
and does not know what is in it. But, -
he added, Il will not say that it will not
be given out later

learned that the young woman was in
Denver, cutting conspicuous figure in
certain circles. She had taken all her
husbands money except Sl.Ge9. which NJ
had in his office.
World gave up his business and lef=
for Denver. He searched high and low
for his wife, and finally met her in the
street. She turned toward a nearby
doorway and bolted into it, World fol-
lowed, and a struggle ensued in the hall
way, which ended by Mrs World calling
loudly for help. Policemen appeared.
and the woman declared that a man who
pretended TO be her husband had tried 10
kill her.
World was arrested. and had great diff
ficulty in proving his innocence. When
he was released he tried TO have his
wife arrested for theft. but the woman
had disappeared, and II was learned that
she had gone To New York.

A FAMOUS OLD SUIT.
Compromise i'm the Case of HertzeI
Against the Baltimore and Ohio.

The suit of Margret Hertzel against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
for $4,000, which has been a subject of
litigation in the courts OF the District
for nearly a quarter of century was
compromised this morning a few minutes
before il was called for trial before JUS
tice Cole.
During all these years a number of the
most eminent attorneys of the Wash
ington bar have been in turn retained
for the defense while the attorney for
! the plaintiff from the beginning TO the
end has been Mr. Frank w. Hackett.
When the case was filed on April a, 1876,
Mr.. Justice Cox, who is now on the
bench Of the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict, appeared as counsel for the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company Up
on his elevation to the bench he was
succeeded by Mr.. James A Buchanan
and then by r. T. Merrick
Justice NJ. F. Morris now a member of
the Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia, was next engaged by the rail-
road company, and was succeeded by the
present attorneys George E. Hamilton
and NJ J. Colbert
The suit was originally filed in the Cir
cult Court for the District of Columbia,
where the plaintiff obtained a judgment
Tor the amount claimed. The. railroad
company appealed to the general term of
the District Court, and the cause was re-
manded for trial at special. term. Here
again the plaintiff was successful, and the
defendant carried the matter to the Court
of Appeals for the District Of Columbia.
Upon the decision of the lower court be-
ing approved by that tribunal, the de-
fendant made a final appeal 10 the Su-
preme Court of the United States. This
court al its last term remanded the case
back to the Circuit Court of the District
of Columbia for a new trial, which was
about 10 begin when compromise was
reached.
The terms upon which the case was set
tied would not be made public by the at
torneys. The suit originated in a claim
for damages instituted by the plaintiff for
injury TO her property at and North

VIII Meet Six Months Hence in Ga

Will Meet Six Months Hence in Gun
ton Chapel.
The closing session of the meeting of
the Washington. Presbytery, was held
last evening in the Presbyterian Church
at Takoma Park. The session was de-
voted to general services, and addresses
were made by some of the prominent
ministers of Washington. The general
| subject under discussion was the impor-
tance of the Sunday school in relation
| to the church. f It% -
Rev. William c. Alexander, d. D., of
| the West Street Church, was the first
f; speaker and discussed briefly what is
| called the Twentieth Century Movement
which has as its object the increasing of
| the church membership through the in
| crease in the number of Sunday school
| scholars. He said that the presbyteries
| of America have recognized within the
| last few years the Importance of this
| policy and have formulated plans accord
| ingly.
Rev. Charles Albert Smith, of the Peck
Memorial Church, followed with a hu-
morous description of his experience in
founding Sunday schools in Missouri He
dweit more especially on attracting boys
and girls not only in the Sunday school
| work, but in outside matters as well, and
made several suggestions as to how this
| might be done.
Moderator Ennis was the last speaker
of the evening. His address brought out
the fact that the upbuilding of the
Sunday schools must be undertaken in a
systematic manner, and that the only
way 10 win in the end is to persevere
in loving the boys and girls.
AT the close of the service a resolution
thanking Rev. John Van Ness and the
ladies of the Takoma church for the
very efficient way in which the presby-
terry has been entertained. was unani-
mously passed, after which the meeting
| adjourned to meet next spring in Wash
! ington at the Gunton Chapel, of which
Rev. Asa Fisk is pastor.
The transactions of this presbytery
meeting were of the usual business char
acter, and no especially important ac-
tion was taken The following commit

WOES OF CUBAN SOLDIERS.
Conditions Presented by Relief Conn
missioners Arnas and EaGiiO.


Lieut.. Col. Arnas and Lieut Baglio, the
relief commissioners sent 10 this country
several weeks ago by Gen. Gomez and
Gen Diaz the commander Of the Gu
bans in the province OF Pinar del Rio,
last night telegraphed 10 SenOr Quesada,
the Cuban charge d afaires in This city,
depicting the most intense suffering
among the members of the revolution
airy army in the provinces OF Havana,
Santa Clara and Pinar del Rio.
The telegram was in Spanish, Of con-
siderable length, and OF such Importance

THAI il was the subject OF lengthy
conference between Senor Quesada. his
colleagues and Tomas Estrada Palma,
the president Of The Cuban JunJa. Pres
iGent Palma only arrived here on Mon

Baglio-Arnas message, and its contents,
in all probability, accounted for his has
ty departure. lie VIII endeayor to ar
range With the Junta 10 send supplies 10
his starving cOuatrymen.
The commissioners from Gomez now
al Tampa say the only way in which the
eNigeucies OF the occasion may be met Is
by depending upon the generosity of the
American people. They appeal 10 the
people OF the country TO send food sup
plies addressed TO them al Tampa. and
they will arrange for its transportation
TO the Cuban camps The attitude of the
Spanish is such they maintain, that the
food supplies sent by this Government
and by the Red Cross Society cannot
pass through Cuban ports free Of duty,
and this has the effect OF placing an
embargo on cargoes TO points ont of the
country.
The Cuban soldiers have not been paid
and are without money with which they
might obtain supplies.
The continuance Of the condition of suf-
fering very much longer is expected to
produce a sort of irritation among the
hungry patriots of the island, that will
force them TO commit depredatiOns of all
kinds. Reports have already reached
this city accusing them of stealing cat
lie and stores from cattlemen, after hay
ing shot the owners. Ii is also cabled
that they have plundered sugar estates
making il necessary for the planters to
appeal to Gen. Lawton for protection.
This condition Of affairs was anticipat-
ed in a letter received from a prominent
by Gen. Quesada on the 18th Of Septem-
ber last, which stated that if relief We're
not soon extended greater suffering would
be caused than has already been caused
by the war itself Unless aid is quick
ly extended TO the Cubans. even greater
outrages may be expected.

BRIDE AND MONEY GONE.
George Worlds Anxious Search for
Ills Wife.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 5.-George
World was a successful miner ten
months ago. Now he is wandering about

choice, who is thought to have left for
Europe with $4,000 OF his money.

come into his view, and staked out a
claim on his heart.
Their wedding was celebrated with con-
siderable ceremony. Mrs. World was
presented with jewels by her husband,
and to prove his confidence in he- he
made her custodian of all the gold and
bonds he possessed. The couple lived
happily together for about three weeks.

IMMUNEs ARE NOT IMMUNE.
Sickness and Denth Invade Their
Ranks at Santiago.

Private advices from Cuba state that
over IS per cent of the so-called immunes
are III to a greater or less degree with
fever and dysentery. The principal cause
Of sickness among these troops is the fact
that they recklessly eat every variety OF
native fruit without regard to the rules
of health.
The latest death list sent from Santiago
by Gen. Lawton shows many fatalities
among the immunes. IL was believed that
these men could Withstand the ravages
of tronical disease, but II appears that
they are falling ready victims TO the sew
eral types of fever and other ills peculiar
to the Cuban climate.
