GREAT CHANCE FOR CUBANS.


TWO hundred and seventy-five of our
colleges and institutions OF learning
have pledged themselves to give free
instruction to such young Cubans as
are sent them. One proviso only is
made. The young men when educated
must return TO their own country and
give TO their native land the benefit of
those advantages which they have en-
joyed among us.
Major Gen. Joseph Wheeler is said to
have orgi gated the plan, and he is
president OF &le association which has
undertaken to put il into execution.
says Harpers Bazaar Gen. Kitch-
ener. as we know. asked nothing OF
his country. I'm return for brilliant
conquests but the money TO found n
college at Khartum in memory OF Gen.
Gordon, whose name must always be
associated with that country for which
he died. Quite as noble in its incep-
ton is Gen. Wheeler's idea. Both
prove the nobility OF noble minds, and
the dominance in them of that Anglo
Saxon principle which i'm its colonial
system works always for the benefit
of the conquered.
The young Cubans who offer them
selves as candidates must of necessity
have had n preparatory course. and
they must pledge themselves to remain
until their college course is ended. Two
persons, not relatives, must attest to
their good moral character.
Though their tuition and their lodg-
ings are TO be given them, these stu
dents must each possess at least Sl2
a month for food. To this they can
hardly object. Indeed, one can hardly
help fancy that il makes the offer all
the more agreeable. The little touch
of independence given by an ability to-
pay ones board must be dear 10 their
hearts as independence is dear to the
hearts of even those who are full to
the brim OF gratitude

Associated Press, that the appointment

available, the emperor desiring To show
the American people that he is thor
oughiy friendly 20 them. knowing that
Prince Henry is popular i'm the United
states.
When the Official referred TO was
asked whether the appointment was
equivalent TO the disgrace OF Admiral
Won Diedrlchs he said: Not exactly.
fl Admiral Won Diedrichs had shown
more tact last summer before Manila
~ would undenably have been produc-
tive OF good results all round.
The main trouble was that Admiral
Won Diedrichs was insutliciently in
formed regarding International naval
usaBe3 i'm such delicate situation.
consequently he continued naval move
ments drill and 3earchlight practice as
II elsewhere than in a blockaded port,
thus arousing distrust upon the part of
the Americans"
The above is important. as being the
hrsl German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila bay.

naval attache at Washington, Won
Reubur Paschwitz, starts for New
York tomorrow on board the North

PASSENGERS LOVE HIM.
a street Car Conductor who Charms
His Fares with His Mellow
whistle.

There is conductor on the Indiana
avenue trolley beloved by every pas
senger who travels on the line. He Is
no better looking than other conduct
ors. Nor is he more polite. Nor does
he allow people TO ride free But lie
can whistle with his fingers, aud the
patrons of the line love him, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
One of the annoyances OF street car
travel is the whistle used by the con-
duetors for giving signals 20 the mo-
torman. Tho conductor goes along on
the footboard with his whistle within
n few inches of a passengers ear. lie
wants to stop the car. He blows on the
instrument of torture--that's what the
nervous people call it--that he carries
between his lips. A shrlll blast that
would wake the dead Is the result. The
car stops. Then he blows two more.
The car starts. OF course man can
get used to almost anything in this vale
OF tears, but there are many who feel
like jumping out OF their skins when
ever that blast sounds in their ears.
II Is very different with this con.
duetor, who learned when boy to
whistle on his fingers, lie wears no
whistle Of nickel or celluloid between
his lips. When he wants 10 stop or
start a car he crooks his first finger,
sticks the crook in his mouth and gives
out mellow note that is celestial mu-
sic compared with the din OF nickel
whistle. Consequently all the passen-
gers love him.

MARTIN LUTHER'S RING.
Engagement Hand of the Great Re-
former Comes to Light In
Norway.

Martin Luther's historical engage
ment ring has been found, and in the
possession of Norwegian peasant
woman, Sigrid Hansen Aim, in Sender
hordland, in Norway.
How IL came TO Norway and when is
unknown, as for centuries the ring has
been an heirloom In the family of all
the women having the name of Sigrid.
Two years ago the German state histori-
cal museum had advertisements insert
ed in continental newspapers. Slowly
the news found its way TO Norway and
was read by the Norwegian peasant
woman. The description of the ring
tailed exactly with the ring in posses
sion OF the woman, says London pa
per.
Consul Jens Gran, I'm Bergen, was no.
tilted, and at once offered the woman
500 kroner for the ring. which was re-
fused. This is the description given in
Norwegian papers of the ring found:
at is Of silver. considerably worn and
badly scratched. Set in the ring is a red
pearl to represent drop of blood of
Christ. On the outside OF the ring Is
engraved Christ on the cross, and sever
al of the subjects OF the crucifxion as
the ladder. the lance. etc, and the let
ters j. N. X. j. (Jesns Nazarenus Rex
Judeorum). On the inside of the ring is
engraved 'Maftino Luther-Catharine
Won Boren-sI3--7A--15gs, and the faint
outlines Of two henrts.r
Through the German minister TO
Sweden ndNorway every effort will be
made TO induce its present owner to per-
NIT IL to become the property of the
German historical museum.
