A SENSATIONAL New York paper
prints an item to the effect that proof
has been discovered that the Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor with
guncotton that belonged to Spain, and
that the Spanish officials, Of either
high or low degree or both, were
therefore responsible for the famous
explosion, 1t may be so, but we doubt
it. We have always inclined to the
belief that the Maine was accidentally
destroyed from the inside, and no
proof to the contrary has ever yet
been shown.

words made him famous, and when he
returned 10 New York he yielded to
temptation and accepted dime mu-

thrown herself at him. His lack of
talent as an actor caused his retire

drink. Last Friday night he ended
his troubles by swallowing big dose
OF poison in Central Park, New York.
