AN INSTANCE IN POINT.

Colonel +. T. Cooper is now In the
Now Jersey state prison at Trenton to
serve from fifteen to sixteen months
time for conspIing with William N.
Boggs to rob the First National Bank
Of Dover of $1,000. That was the YER
dict rendered and that verdict will
stand. II we are not misinformed, the
jury in his case took seventy-bwo bah
lJts. In flty-eight of those ballots the
vote was six for conviction i'm MANNER
and form as the defendant stood i'm
dlctod, and six for acquittal. In thir-
teen of the remaining fourteen ballots
The vote, it is said, was five for con-
viction and seven for acquiHal Then
something inspired the jurors to sud
denCy remember THAT forty-slxth count,
charging conspiracy, and they reached
a verdict on That count ard ended their
confinement.
Republican newspapers and politi-
clans have been unable to hide the JOY
which they feel over the verdict. They
have endeavored to do so. but withoub
avail. Colonel Cooper was removed
from New Castle Jail without being no
piGod OF his destination or being ar
fCrded an opportunity to even cay
goodbye to Sheriff Finn and his fam
ily anl to thank them for tha kindness

Trenton, and There he is to-day. with
mere friends i'm Delaware than nine
ten.hs Of those Who are glorying in the
contamination Of his downfall.
There are others to be tried for the
SHINE ofense, and the desire OF Jhe
Republicans and linton Republicans to
have the conviction OF Colonel Cooper
impol other juries to return similar
verdicts is disclosed in many ways, but
most particularly through the columns
OF their newspapers.
Here is an extract from the report OF
the sentencing of Colonel Cooper, ap-
pear'ng in one OF our morning con-
tsmporaries:
The colonel took seat near his
counsel just as Judge Bradford ap-
pearod and took his place on the bench
Imme diaeeiy behind Cooper was United

Jadnes Lord, Adjutant-Generalt Hart
John f. Salisbury, Amos Cole anr
Thomas S. Clark, the latter beccmi ny
so n2rvOue when sentence was beine
pronounced that he had TO leave th'
court room.

graph is clearly apparent when th.
positive statement is made by us Una

evidences Of sinister desire on tn

NOBLE HEROES.

All hail to cur gallant Dewey,
And the heroes brave and true,
Who so gallantly fought for freedoms
cause,
Under the red, white and blue.
Oh. that glorious day. the first OF May,
Shall never more forgotten be,
While the emblem of freedom, that
= banner we love,
Floats DER the land Of the brave and
the free.
Il was early in the morning,
Just before the break OF day.
When our gallant Commodore Dewey,
Sailed into Manilas bay.
And while in line for action,
His ships he did nobly train,
From every heart the cry rang out,
Remember now the Maine
Oh the deeds Of our gallant Dewey,
And his sailors true and bold,
Has to the mothers, widows and or
phans,
And all the world been told.
How with shot and shell, they sunk
each ship
or the hated tyrant Spain,
| And avenged. without the loss of life
The noble martyrs of the Maine
| All hail to our gallant Dewey,
| All hail to his noble crew,
| Their deeds shall be sung forever,
| Under the red, white and blue.

CFFICrAL LOTTERIES IN HAvANA.

T.
MY recent visit to Havana. re-
marked a. representative to a repcrttr
Opened my eyes to many of the pecu-
liar conditions of things that exist in
chat city, and, as it was my first inside
sight of the Havana lottery business, l
was greatly interested in il. NoUwlth-
stauding an the war talk and prep3Ia-
tions for war, the lottery busmes goes
steadily on, and there are daily draw
ings, besides the monthly ard semi
mCnthy ones. AS the government i5
behind the scheme, they viii not give
the ptop.e a rest; the profit in i, is
enormous, and the people pay daily
tax through the medium Of the scheme
without ever realizing that they are
paying for it. The Spaniard is a sport
all the way through, and it appears
that he would as soon think Of doing
away with one of his meals as ne
would with his daily lottery ticket,
Men are not the only buyers Of
tickets, for ! saw as many women in
the lottery offices as / did men. They
reminded me more of the high-tiyeIs TO

than anything else l can compare them
to. While none of them apparently had
penny to spare, they an lived on Jhe
| expectation of being about to strike 1t
rich or win the capital prize before
the day was out The police Of the
city dispose of the tickets, and every
resident of the city has to take one
each day or give some good reason for
declining. The last Sunday l was

the people as they came out OF a church
though while in the church they were
also asked and practically required tC

OF the city government. The city gov
ernment, as such, does not sell the lou
terry tickets, but it has a lot of slmila'
ways to raise money. The profits from
the lottery go TO the royal gove NJ
ment-that is, the horde OF Spanish of
fcals who are foisted upon the islanN

COUBAN EXIUEs TO FERNANDO 70


Every ten years or so crowds CT
handcuffed men are driven Through tle
STREETS of Havana, which They W ID
never tread again, on their way to the
transport ship which will carry them
to the penal settlements on the African
coast Many of these men repras MT
the elite of Cuban society. Seldom is
al direct charge brought against th.m.
Police spies denOunce them as Cuban
sympathizers. They are given no trial
so they can prove the charges fa.se.
On administrative order they are SEN
fenced to exile for life, and frequently
the source of their misfortune can he
traced to private revenge or personal
feeling. Since The beginning of yhe
war at least 10000 prominenl citiz ms
have been torn from their native
island, families and friends, and sent
to life exile in the filthy overcrOwded,
deadly swamps of Fernando PO. Wi1h
a little money and good heabh it is
possible to survive in Ceuta, but none
ever returns from Fernando PO. On
the 81 of March a large parity Of citi-
| zens Of the AIabanZas district passed
through Havana on their way to the
| transport. It was a sad processio IN.
Hopeless, jailed, despairing mon, witch
arms tied behind them and feet shack

slow. hcrrible DEATH On the train
from Matanzas two of these unfog IN
mates were literally Shot to pieces. Th'
guards reported they tried to escap'
and were shot in the attempt. ThCi'
fellow prisoners told a different STORY

out on the platform between the car
