LIGHTNING STRUCK TWICE.
Chicago, succumbs to a Sec
ond stroke,

Lightning never strikes twice in the
same spot, says an old saw but there is
a giant cottonwood in Hyde Park that
proves that there are exceptions to all
rules.
This tree stands on the south side
of Fifty-third street between Cornell
avenue and the Illinois Central tracks.
1t is more than 40 years old and is one
OF the tree monarchs of the neigh bor-
hood. The late Judge John y. Jameson
built his home at the southwest cor
ner of Fifty-third street and Cornell
avenue in 1857. There was little or moth
ing in Hyde Park in those days; so little
that the suburban service Of the llii-
nois Central was only one year old.
and there were only three trains day
each way. On the fifv-third street
side he planted a row of cottonwoods.
Cottonwoods grow rapidly and take
kindly 10 the sandy soil along the lake
shore. The row grew iuto great trees,
which in time came TO be land marks.
Ten years ago the largest OF these
great cottonwoods was struck by light
ming. The bolt seemed to be in the
shape of an enormous knife. for it sliced
of large strip Of the trunk for 10
feet or more. Such stroke would have
killed less vigorous tree. Rut the
big cottonwood tree stood the blow
bravely, recovered and went on grow
ing. In time there was nothing but a
long brown scar to prove the visitation
of the deadly blast from the skies
y few days ago the lightning came
again. Before the bolt struck the leaves
of the cottonwood were green and
glossy. Within an hour every leaf was
shriveled. Some of the leaves dried up
and became brown. Every sign of vital
ity had departed from the tree. The
giant cottonwood was dead.
Curiously enough, this time the bolt
left no mark. Ten years ago the light
ming left a great wound in the trunk;
yet the tree lived. This time there is no
sign of the smallest puucture; yet the
tree was instantly killed Chicago In

Natural Ga. Wen. Run Dry.

Ten years ago the daily capacity of
the natural gas wells in the Findlay
(O,) fields was 200,000,000 feet. Now it
Is down to a few million feet, and the
pressure is so low that the supply is
almost useless. This year will mark
the passing of natural gas as fuel in
all of northwestern Ohio. The big pipe
lines which carried gas to Toledo, Tiff
in, Sandusky, Norwalk and many
smaller places are fast being abandoned
and the pipes taken up. Tho pump sta
tions of the Northwestern Natural Gas
company are shut down, as are those of
the city of Toledo, which cost the mu-
nicipaity sl,500,000, The ga. would
have lasted many years longer if in the
early years Of its discovery it had not
been wasted. The famous Krag well,
probably the greatest gas producer ever
opened up, was allowed TO burn uncon-
fined for months at n time, millions of
feet going TO waste daily. Al through
the natural gas bait, in the early days of
the craze, the streets were lit by great
torches, the flames from which some
times iiared up SO feet into the air

~ safe.
''Dr. Don Antonio Gonzalez de Mem
doza, the new chief justice, ha. been for
many years the foremost barrister of
Cuba. He is a native of Havana and a
fine specimen of the old-fashioned,
highly cultivated and refined Caucasian
class of Cubans. He graduated at the
University of Havana in the year 1877
and Immediately afterward entered the
law school of the same university,
where he studied six years, as required
by the law of those days. He received
the degree of bachelor of laws in 1851
of licentiate in the same branch of hu-
man knowledge on July 2s, 1858, and of
doctor of Jurisprudence, as it WAS then
termed, on March 2s, 1886. The next
year he became by competitive ex-
animation supernumerary professor
of that law school and retained this po-
sition until 1860, when he resigned.
shortly after receiving the degree of
licentiate of law he was admitted TO
the bar in Havana, but soon, through
competitive examination. secured the

position of relator in the supreme court,
or audiencia. Here il was his duty TO
prepare n report of each case submitted
to the court. After serving for some
years in this capacity DR.. Mendoza re-
signed his position of relator and en-
gagged in the practice OF law. He be-
come very soon one OF the most promi-
nent practitioners in the city of na-
vann. In 1866 he joined the editorial
staff OF the Revista de Juri.prudencia,
law magazine.
"Soon after his admission TO the bar
in Havana DR.. Mendoza married Doua
Maria de lag Mercedes Pedroso, most
accomplished young woman, belonging
to one of the richest and most aristo-
cratic families OF Havana. DR.. Mendoza
was always strenuous, uncompromis-
ing opponent of African slavery. On
the llth of September, 1879, he emanci-
pated by public deed all the slaves Of
the Santa Gsrtrudis estate, ESQ in num-
ber, The act was entirely voluntary.
"In 1865 DR.. Mendoza started in Ha-
vana an organization which was called
the Association Against the Slave
Trade. II was conducted on the plan
of our temperance societies. the mem
bers binding themselves not TO have
anything to do directly or indirectly
with the trade, and to exercise n props-
gnnda by all lawful means to secure
its final and complete extinction.
''In politics DIR. Mendoza was u con-
servative. While anxious to see Cuba
enjoy TO the fullest possible extent all
the benefits of constitutional liberty,
the idea to reach this end through u
mere destructive revolution waa re-
pugnant to him. Neither directly nor
indirectly did he ever give any support
or assistance to the revolutionary move
mcnt which was started in Cuba on Oc-
tober 10, 1868, and although many of his
friends were actively and heavily en-
gagged in it he never failed to declare his
views and maintain his position.
"lIe left Cuba in February, 1869. and
Travelled extensively through the
United States and Europe. his family
accompanying him. On his return home
he resumed with immense success the
practice of law. The respect which his
character inspired was forcibly illus
tratcd by his election as mayor of lIa-
vanR by the united vote of Spaniards
and Cubans. His administration WAS
satisfactory to all.
"When the revolution OF 1895 broke
out he knew from the beginning that it
unaided II must end in the destruction
of the country. He hailed with graft
tude American Intervention, which
saved Cuba from ruin. In accepting the
position which Gen. Brooke rendered
him as chief justice Of the supreme
court OF the island DIR. Mendoza has
given . further proof of his disintsr-
estsd patriotism"
