very brief and worthless.
The idea that the moderate use OF alcohol
is harmless is now absurd. 1t Injuries a

the Assembly that he would observe its
rulings in so far as he considered them
beneficial to Cuba. o
The Assembly again declared that the
S. 900, 900 was insu fl cient. Senior Gonzalez
de Quesada, who accompanied Mr.. Porter
in Cuba, was attacked by Seniors GualbEft)
Gomez, Sanguily and Aguerro, who &c
clared that he had acted in bad faith and
deceived them.
General Maxine Gomez has issued a
statement to the Cuban people. and army,
part of which is as follows;
"By the use OF the supreme faculties with
which It Is endowed the Assembly, repre-
senting the army only, has deposed me as
Commander-in Chief of the Cuban army,
which grade 1t conferred upon me during
the last war. AS Commander-in-Chief l al
ways followed the dictates of my best con
science and the call of great national
needs. Iendeavored In all circumstance
to fulfill my duty,
"As q sincere man I confess thank them
because they relieve me OF great political
obligations, and also leave me free to re-
turn to my abandoned home, which, during
thirty years of continual strife for the

The Assembly is being strongly cen
sured by Cubans on all sides, and there
were popular demonstrations Sunday az
ternoon In favor OF the deposod Command
er-in-C Chief, the crowds shouting Long
live Gomezi'' and death 20 the Assem-
blyi' General Gomez received numerous
visitors, all of whom assured him of their
Affection and loyalty. There is no doubt
that a majority Of the people support him
as against the Assembly.
General Gomez, it is said, enjoys the full
confidence OF the American military au-
thoritles, and, although he says that he Is
glad OF his new-found liberty, since II will
enable him to return home, it is not believed
that he will leave Cuba at present. He has
always insisted that an active share In dis
~trIbuting the money would fall to him, and
there seems no good reason why he cannot
continue to act as General Brooke's adviser

TELEGRAPH OPERATOR A HERO.
Badly injured Mar Sends a Warning ovei
the Wire and Saves Lives.

EDwARDsvILLE, IL. Special .-Peters, a
small station on the Clover Leaf Road
south of here, has a hero In the person oil
John F. Dickman, telegraph operator at
the station. The lives OF two train crews
we're saved a few nights ago by his per-
Torrance of duty.
Dickman received a message to hold n
train at the siding near Peters. He started
across the yards to deliver the dispatch to
the engineer. when he WAS struck by an APP
preaching through freight. He was
thrown about forty feet from the track.
His skull was fractured and he was other
wise bruised. He lay unconscious for some
minutes, and when he came to his senses
the through and local freight had moved
on and he was left alone. None Of the
crew had witnessed the accident.
The operator remembered that a train
was SC heduled to leave Madison, aud that
this would collide with thelocal II an order
to held It was not sent. He dragged him
self inch by inch to the station house,
almost fainting as he reached the opera
tors desk. He would probably have lost
cons ciousness again had not his brother
William entered and caught him. With his
brother holding him in his arms the opera
tor opened the key and "os'd" the through
freight aud notified the chief dispatcher at
Charleston OF the departure OF the local. A
catastrophe was averted. Dickman's iu-
jurles are serious.

Mr.. T. W. Russell, member of the Eng

ireland, referred to the history of the mem
bers belonging to a young mems society in
County Tyrone tslirty-Ave years ago, AM
declared that everyone whose life had
armed out a failure had been ruined by
drink. He described the appearance of the
most brilliant OF the youthful band labor
Ing on a wharf at New York, brought low
by the mocker. Drink had the country by
the throat. When A.. NJ. Sullivan lay on
his death-bed he sent for the speaker,
pointed out to him that the Irish party
was going to be captured by the drink
power, and charged him never to give up
the battle. The public house had become
3 more potent force in politics than church
or chapel. The apathy Of Christian men
and ministers was astounding. Tit scorn
and vengeance of a trade grown rich by
widows tears and children's cries were al
most enough to make one quail. Drink
was the great destroyer of the Anglo-Saxon
race; Satan's prime agency in the unmak-
Ing of men. TIE lecturer had changed
some OF his views, but those On the drink
question he had never modified In the
slightest degree.
