capital, and the best of the Americans,
and since Sonora Abreu speaks Eng
lish and French as perfectly as Span
ish, she is quite competent to entertain
cosmopolitan assembly.
Sonora Abreu's home at Palatino is
the typical planters mansion of the
better class. 1t is built of brick, COW
cred over with stucco, and great bal
comics and vernndas surround it on all
sides, giving it an appearance of COM
fort and ease. a grove of tall, stately
royal palms surrounds it and makes the
house cool and shady retreat.
In the wealthiest Cuban homes it Ia
the custom to stable the horses in the
courtyard of the house, and also to
push the carriages through the inn
mense portals into the lower corridor
of the house itself. Sonora Abreu, how
ever, has followed the American GUS
tom and has constructed stables for her
fine horses away from the house. Liv-
ing in the country rs she does, there is
more ground space and she is better
able to build outhouses.
Her plantation, given over almost en-
tirely to the cultivation of coffee, is one
of the largest in Cuba. 1t is composed
land. a mill built at II cost of over
$15O,O0O stands in the midst of it. When
the plantation and mill are in active OPP
Grafton several hundred plantation
hands are employed. At present all
work has been suspended on account of
the unsettled state of affairs. Sonora
Abreu supports these farm hands, even
though they are forced to idleness by
the uncertainty of the times.
Rosa Abreu is not yet 35 years of age
and a great many of the young bloods
of Havana have sought her hand. She
is certainly a handsome woman, of the
southern Latin type, with black hair
and eyes. Her figure is n little too plump
for gracefulness, but she dresses excel
lently, and with such skill that one is
inclined to overlook the tendency to
embonpoint
Her habits are extremely democratic
and her manner sociable and friendly.
On band concert nights she drives to
town, dismisses her carriage at the
corner of the Prado, and then joins the
crowd of promenaders walking up and
down the Parque Centrale. Everybody
knows her, consequently she is always
surrounded by bevy of friends.
Such is the picture of the Cuban
woman, admired and loved by all who
know her. She is the first woman in
theWestIndies in the matter of wealth,
popularity and graciousness. Recently
she has taken an active interest in El
Socorro, the great charitable organ
izdtion formed by Cuban and Amer
lean women for the betterment OF
starving Cubans. She has not only aid
ed the organization financially, but she
has given her personal time and at
tention to its entertainments to raise
money, Her interest hes given II
prestige and has inspired the Others to
more enthusiastic work.

LAURIER IS ANGRY.
The Canadian Premier Declares the
Recently Printed Interview
Was Not Accurate.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 7.-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, when interviewed Saturday,
was not in the best of humor. He said
ut is simply scandalous how we are mis-
represented by interviewers who publish
in the United States press their so-called
conversations with myself and other Cana
dian public men. l have not so far received
a formal invitation to visit Chicago. Only
an informal one was offered me- and how
could l refuse to accept or reject that
which was not authortatively asked to
accept? When the time arrives for me to
send my reply to a formal invitation to
visit Chicago 1 will not hesitate to an
swer either in the Affirmative or negative
To say that / would refuse to accept the
invitation to Chicago were it formally Of
fered to me because / feared insults by any
of the people in Chicago or anywhere else
in the United States is to say that which
l can only say is a preposterous invention.
Il think better of our American friends
and am satisfied that If were to visit the
great city of Chicago I would receive as
cordial treatment as will be extended to
any of the other invited guests whose
pleasure and privilege 1t may be to accept
the invitation. The United States and Can
ada can have their disputes and can carry
them on without 1t being necessary for
the press or people of either country to so
far forget themselves as to insult or black
guard the representatives on the one side
or the other of the border line. l will not,
however, at the present be interviewed as
to whether 1 will or will not go to Chicago,
but when l am called upon to formally re-
ply to an invitation to so there and should
i refuse to accept the invitation my re-
fusal will not be the result of any fear of
insult by the American people"

CRIME OF A MOTHER.
Distracted Mt Her Daughters Shame
She Kills Her and COM
mits Suicide.

Greentown, o., Aug. ruth Swartz,
aged 16, was killed by her mother, Mrs.
Catherine Wise, Sunday morning. The
murderess then went n mile and half
and threw herself into pool of water
at an Abandoned stone quarry. Her
body was fished out by neighbors Sun
day afternoon. The facts brought out
by an investigation of the county COR
oner are that the young girl had loved
in an unfortunate way. The distracted
mother declared she would find some
way to save her daughter. During the
night the mother arose, went down
stairs and slashed her daughters throat
with a razor which was left lying on
a table in the room. In her struggle
for life the girl threw up her hands,
which were cut with the razor.

A BUSY DAY.
Driving and COnfers with Sec
retnry of War Root.

Plattsburg, n. Y, Aug. s.-The pres
dent had busy day Monday. He wit
messed the yacht races in the afternoon
on board the yacht Elfrida in company
with Vice-President Hobart and Mrs.
Hobart and party. Later he took a
short drive with Vice-President Hobart.
In the evening he held long conference
with Secretary of War Root, who ar
rived on the 7:15 train. Mrs. Mckinley
continues to improve slowly.
Secretary Root said, after his confer
ence with Mr.. Mckinley: Il have had
a long talk with President Mckinley.
1t is the first chance have had to talk
with Mr.. Mckinley since | assumed the
office of secretary of war, and there are
naturally many things to be talked
over. / shall remain here and have a
further conference with the president
Tomorrow" When. asked whether
Gen. Otis was to be relieved of his com
mand in the Philippines, or whether
our force there was to be increased to
100000, Secretary Root said there was
nothing to be said upon those points
yet.
President Mckinley has at last prom
ised to attend the Chicago festival, to
be held the week of October Q. Charles
TruaX, chairman of the festival COM
mittee, who came here to consult with
the president concerning the general
programme, left fully satisfied that the
president will participate in the fes-
tivities now being arranged. 1t was
not President McKinley's original in
tention to do more than take part in the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone
of the new Chicago federal building,
but he has been persuaded to accept
several invitations to banquets, and will
certainly make one or two speeches.

with the Rahtor family of Kishcngarh
and the Jareja family of Jamnagar.
Ulwar, in the north of Rajputana, a few
hours by rail from Delhi, and still near
er to Jeypore, is n prosperous, we'll
managed state, noted for its schools and
Lady Dufferin hospital, and still more
for two excellent regiments, one of cav
airy and one of infantry, raised by the
late chief for imperial service. Well
planned stables, gardens and orange
groves, with an ancient palace of much
beauty in the city, possessing valuable
armory and some rare eastern books,
are also features of the place. English
officers who are fond of sport speak
with rapture of the tigers and other
game to be met with in Ulmar, and
of the shik kar parties the late maharaja
used to organize most Hospitality for
the entertainment of his visitors. The
present chief has inherited his fathers
sporting instincts, is an excellent rider
and fond of polo and cricket. Having
been educated with great care under
the superintendent of an English
guardian. it is to be hoped he will
prove a good ruler when his minority
comes to an end.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Examiner In the Pension ONCE at
Washington Cuts the Throat OF
n Young Girl.

Washington, Aug. IA horrible
murder was committed Sunday in the
northeastern section of the city The
murderer was Benjamin II. Smell, spe-
cial examiner in the pension Office,
man about 45 years of age. His victim
was Liza Weissenberger, girl 13 years
of age, who had been employed in his
household until few months ago,
when she was taken Nhome by her
parents, who became suspicious of
SHELLS conduct towards her. Smell
seemed to be infatuated with the child,
and paid her a great deal of attention,
which, however, she resented. Sunday
morning Smell went to his victims
house and, entering at the front door,
passed on through the middle room,
where the girl was sleeping, to the din
ing-room door. While standing at the
door the mother ordered him out of the
house. Smell started to go, passing
again through the room where the
child was.
He bent over the sleeping child and
drew her from the bed. Awakened sud
denly, she screamed in terror. Twist
ing one hand in the girls hair and
throwing back her head, Smell drew a
razor from his pocket and swept it
across her throat. Twice he slashed
her throat, and once he missed, cutting
a great piece of flesh from her cheek.
The head was almost severed from the
body, and both the murderer and his
victim were drenched with blood. At
tracted by the child's screams, the
mother ran to the rescue. In frenzy
she grappled with the murderer, and
was badly slashed on the arm with the
razor. The murderer attempted to es-
cape, but was soon captured by the
police and locked up in the Ninth pre-
cinct station. He refuses to give any
explanation of his acts and says he re-
members nothing about them. The
murderer is a native of Vermont, and
was at one time employed in a bank
in Montgomery, Ala. He has wife
and two children.

ton great number is necessary. A
serious drawback in securing such
views is that it is necessary to take
these pictures in haphazard way and
at long distance, so that it frequently
happens that the camerist does not get
the subject on his plate at all, or, if he
is successful in this respect, the object
is so small that it is not of much value.
A camera mounted on gunstock, the
invention of Benjamin d. Sheffield, of
Livingston, Mont, promises to reme-
dy all this. BY its use moderately large
views of birds on the wing will be Sc
cured and there will not be the least
difficulty about getting the object
squarely on the plate. A student going
after these views will start out just as
the gunner does, except that his cart
ridges will be sensitive plates, but he
would enjoy all the thrill and delight
which the gunner experiences without
any of the horror of taking life.
This gun camera, of course, is ap-
plicable to any moving object as well
as birds, but it is in this latter field
that it will be of the greatest scientific
value. 1t is operated in every way like
a gun, having two sights and two trig-
gers.
One of the latter sets the shutter,
while the other makes the exposure.
AS it can be accurately aimed narrow
angle lens can he utilized, by means of
which the object on the plate is greatly
enlarged as compared with picture
taken with the ordinary lens.

A GOOD TEST.
The Columbia Wins a Race with the
Defender and so other Yachts.

Greenport, L. l., Aug. 9.-The first
run of the New York Yacht club yes
terday from London out into tho
sound as far as Watch hill and back to
Gardeners bay was one of the most
successful in the clubs history, res
plete though it is with grand races.
Not only was the day an ideal one,
but the club watched with pride the
magnificent run of the new queen of
the fleet, Columbia, which fairly dis
tanced every other yacht with the ex-
ception of the Defender, and she too
was defeated by four minutes and 10
seconds in n 30-mile race. The old
cup defender Vigilant was beaten by
the two flyers nearly an hour, but
much of this was no doubt due to the
fortunate run of the Columbia and
Defender along the Fisher island
shore, while the rest of the fleet kept
over on the other side of the sound.
Over so yachts crossed the line at New
London and nearly all finished in
Gardeners bay, although some of them
did not get in until toward night.
Neither boat was held back par
ticle. 1t was good square test of
the merits of the old and new boats,
and the latter may be put down as n
good four minutes faster under the
present conditions, and with her steel
mast in couple of minutes more.

FOUGHT WITH SABERS.
Fierce Duel Between Weu-KnowI
POIiticinns-One Is Badly
wounded.

Vienna, Aug. s.-A sensational saber
duel was fought Monday between Herr
Wolf, the notorious German radical
member of the reichrath, and Herr
Krzekep, German liberal deputy. 1t
was furious encounter. Herr Wolf re-
ceived a wound in the head, severing an
artery. The doctors declared him in
capable of continuing the duel, but he
persisted, though his face was bathed
in blood. Ultimately he sustained a
second wound in the head, and was
carried home in dangerous condition.
The duel arose from Herr Krzekep ac-
cusing Herr Wolf of always answering
political attacks by fighting duels
against incapable antagonists.

reported to have more than 500 we'll

Gen. Guellito, governor of Monte

1t is added that he will be obliged to

LAX METHODS IN VOGUE.
New York Policemen DO Not Report
All OF the nobberles in lint CITY.

New York, Aug. 9.-Mr. Moss, COM
sci for the Mazet Investigating COM
mittee, opened the session of the COM
mttcc yesterday by stating that he
woulh attempt to show by the records
of the police department that there
had been large increase in the num-
Der of robberies and burglaries in this
city recently, and that it is the result
of what has been called the wide
open" policy. Mr.. Moss said it was
impossible, owing to the lax methods
of the police, to tabulate list of the
crimes committed.
THE idea," concluded Mr.. Moss, els
to see how many burglaries have been
committed, and how the police depart
ment deals with its derelict officers"
A number of merchants testified
that they had been robbed. The poI
lice had been notified in each case,
but no property had been recovered.
Mr.. Moss read from reports of trials
of delinquent officers before the police
board. He instanced case where
five officers had been charged with
neglecting to report an attempted
burglary and with failing to take any
steps to apprehend the criminals. The
case against the officers had been dis
missed with n reprimand for each.
Charles f. Dillon, u detective on
Mr.. Moss staff, identified transcripts
of the robbery" book of Chief Dew
cry, which he had made for the COM
mittee. A summary showed that from
January 1, 1898, to May Is, 1899, 1859
robberies We're reported. The total
value of goods stolen was $33O,944.
Witness said the robbery" book dated
back to March 1, 1897. From that
date to January /, 1898, there were
694 robberies for total of $172,53
All the robberies since 1898 in the
book We're 'burglaries," and were
cases where arrests had been made.
None of the entries were complaints
of robberies.

TRAGEDY IN DES MONIES.
Young Man Shot Dead While Trying
to Prevent the Suicide of
His Father.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. Sired Hun
nell, carpenter, undertook to commit
suicide at his home Monday evening by
shooting himself. His son, Archie Hun
nell, undertook to wrest his revolver
from him. The gun went off and the
son fell dead, shot through the heart.
A crowd was attracted to the house
and tried to arrest Hunnell, but with a
knife and gun he stood off a score of
men, drove them away from the place
and then tried to take his own life. He
slashed himself viciously with the
knife, but the police came and arrested
him before he was able to end himself.
He will probably recover and is un-
doubtedly insane.

YounEster Who Is Destined to Rule
Over Three Million or More Sub

If this handsome boy lived in the

with nothing more than winning foot
ball game or breaking some athletic
record, but as he lives in India it
chances that he is worried with cane of
100000 subjects. His highness Maha-
raja Siwai Jey Singh of Ulwar-or AL
war, according to the modern spelling
was born in 1882, and succeeded his
father ten years later. Descended from
the great ruling house of Jeypore, and
