Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. 1s.-The boycott
on the Big Consolidated Street Railroad
lines is beginning to lose its force. The
Euclid, Cedar, and Wade Park Avenue
lines, running to the East End, are well
patrcniZed at present and travel is in
creasing slowly on the lines running to
Newburg and the South Side, though
thousands OF people are still riding in
buses
The action of the leading business men,
about 400 of whom have already signed
the anti-boycott resolutions recently
adopted, is having its effect in releasing
individuals from the ban of the boycott,
though some cases Of individual oppression
are still reported. Out in Newburg the
feeling is bitter.
Miss Abbott. clerk In the Office of the
Big Consolidated. sings In the choir of the
Grace Episcopal Church, in Newburg. She
rides on Big Consolidated cars. The other
members of the choir have announced that
they will refuse to sing unless she leaves
the church. Miss Abbott says she will
not leave, and it remains to be seen what
the boycotters will do.

The Price of Miners, Powder.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 16.-As a result OF
the Lackawannas refusal to even consid-
er the request of it's miners for reduc-
tion in the price of powder while compel
ing companies maintain the old price, the
local miners propose to inaugurate a gen.
eral movement for readjustment OF pow
der prices throughout the whole anthra-
cite region. The miners admit that to de-
crease the price of powder would mean an
increase in wages to them, and that it
would be unfair to ask the
Lackawanna Company to raise wages un-
less all or the majority OF the competing
companies did likewise. The committee
has announced that it will recommend a
movement to secure a convention of the
big anthracite producing companies to
bring about complete readjustment of the
whole question of wages.

His RICHES TO CHARITY
An Infidel Leaves His Fortune TO
Church Organizations.
His Last Request Was That No Re-
Iigious Services De Held Over His
BOdy-He Lost Faith In Christian
Creeds, But Not in Charitable
Deeds -Beqaests of the Deceased.

Kansas City, Aug 16.-The will of Jos
seph Beroist. who died here this week.
proves to be most remarkable document
Although he was an infideI Benoist left all
but $4,000 of his fortune of s150.Qo0 to re-
ligious and charitable organizations.
The Christian Brothers College, of st.
Louis. is the principal legatee, getting about
$50, ,0G0
Among the Kansas City legacies are the
following: Holy Rosary Church, $4,000;
Sisters of Loretto. $4,000; Sisters of Mercy,
s12, eco: Little Sisters of the Poor, 81 goo;
Kansas City, Orphan Boys Home, $4,000: ::
Sisters of the Good Shepherd, $4,000; Sis
ters Of St Joseph, $4,000; Protestant Home
for Aged Women, $4,000; Jewish Wenen' S
Charity Association, $4,000.
Benoist left his four sisters and his half
brother almost nothing. He was reared a
Catholic, but while keeping store at Bax-
ter Springs, Kan, he lost his faith in re-
ligious creeds He began the study of
Thomas Paine's writing. and became an
enthusiastic admirer of Colonel Robert c.
Ingersoll.
Mr.. Benoist had not attended church for
twenty-five years prior 10 his death. His
change OF religion did not cause him 10
lose faith in charitable work. He told his
friends that his new religion was 10 dc
good to all, to relieve suffering, and TO make
all his friends happy.
When Mr Benoist died a sealed letter
was found on his desk addressed to NJ.
Barnail 1t had been written nearly two
years before and the envelope was dust be-
grimed. When opened it was found to con-
tain instructions as to his funeral. In brief
Mr. Benoist had written:
Don't bury ny body in church ceme-
terry. Don't let any minister hold services
al my grave or preach my funeral sermon.
This letter lay on the desk alongside OF
Mr. Benoists viii, which bestowed the saw
ings of lifetime upon charitable and re-
ligious institutions.

Porter. who has gone to Cuba to see for
himself the condition of the people, has
had his first experience with some of the
heroines of that afflicted island, which dis
proves the assertion sometimes made that

to each other.

Howard has his relief headquarters, there
came along tiny girl to buy a cents
worth of soap at the relief grocery" Mr..
Howard questioned this child and repeated
the answers to Mr.. Porter, answers Thich
We're afterward corroborated by investi-
cation.
The child was five years old aud had
no mother. She had father, who had a
swollen leg-a legacy of the weyler star
Yation. The father was unable to earn a
cent, even if he had a chance. He needed
hospital more than work. The child had
a sister, apparently eight or ten years old
The sister supported the family by going
out TO the distant hillsides and cutting
wood. which she carried into the town on
her head and sold for 10 cents a load
There was no wonder, then. that the fam

yet this woodcutter child. with an invalid
father and sister TO support, had taken in

child.

to see some of the ruins of the farm
houses and abandoned farms, and poor
people living in palm-leaf huts.
"A mile outside OF Ceiba Mocha" writes
Mr. Porter, I'VE dismounted at a farm
house where q widow had made a begin
ming at cultiyating the old homestead. She
had four sons of various ages, five daugh-
tiers. and q niece. All were neat and clean,
and away above the average in intelli-
gence They told US their experiences as
reconcentrados in Ceiba Mocha during the
Weyler concentration. For three months

and a few sweet potatoes. They are as
