Chauncey M. Depew Presented witt

Chauncey NJ. Depew Presented With
Queer Pair of Goggles.
From the New York World.
Chauncey M. Depew received belated New
Years present yesterday. A thoughtful adj
mirer who lives in Michigan sent the gift by
mail to the Grand Central station. When Mr.
Depew opened the neat little box he was
surprised to find the most peculiar pair of
spectacles In the world
The right eye-glaass in the spectacles is red,
the left glass is green.
The strange spectacles sent anonymously,

the glasses were poisoned with arsenic or
copper? To make sure the spectacies were
harmless. Mr.. Depew tried them on his pri-
vate secretary, Lieut.. Du Val. No harm
resulted to Mr.. Du Val, SO Mr.. Depew took
the spectacles home.
To any railroad man red means danger and
green means caution. Perhaps the man who
sent the spectacles thinks Mr.. Depew is run
ming too fast-to the United States senate,
maybe-and would advise him to slow down.
But It's doubtful If the spectacles carry a
warming. They would certainly add much to
Mr. Depew's beauty at the head of any din

: Again. the spectacles may be intended to
have a moral effect. If Mr. Depew puts on
the spectacles and drops his right eyelid all
the world will look to him jaundiced, sicklied
Ger with pale green. If Mr.. Depew is melan-
choly he can shut his left eye and every
thing will take the color of the rose.
There are vast possibilities In these spec

speaking country not subject to the
queen, the United States, England
had imposed her tongue and laws upon
the offshoots of Germany, Scandinavia

and that the dominance of our
language throughout this powerful and
enormous country must produce in the
future political phenomena to which
our attention ought more persistently

Sir Charles says "The prophecy has
come true" and then he adds: 1T Is
for the Americans of the United States
to decide how far towards firm alliance
what L call the tie of blood and tongue

The question is not likely to be very
explicitly answered in the life time OF
Sir Charles. There is a sentimental
theory eXtant that the English Ian
guage has something to do with the
advancement of English ideas on this
continent: but the time is rapidly APP

Our Work in Cuba.

The little spirit of ugliness which de-
veloped during the process of transfer
Of government in Cuba ought really to
prove a lesson to the thinking people
of the United States.
The temperament of the Cuban is not
like that Of the American citizen in the
higher ATTITUDES. 1t Is evident that this
country has considerable of a task to
perform before it gets the Cuban down
to a thorough appreciation of what a
man has to be in order to be a man.
President Mckinley may make recon-
mendations as to the proper treatment
of these new citizens, but it will rest
with the officers of the army who are
down there to obey orders in the direc-
ton of preserving discipline to develop
what there really is in that conglomer-
alton of citizenship.
Gen. Garcia is dead, but he lived
just long enough to afford striking
example of the spirit of the Cuban rev.
olutionists. Maceo died two years ago,
and it is probably good thing that he
did die then. Because these insurgents
who have been so long combating au-
thority would have been very unwilling
to desist. This was plainly shown in
the case of Garcia, and Gen. Gomez has
not exploited himself very brilliantly as
one who acquiesced thoroughly in the
altered condition of things.
The president has been pleased to
locate Gen. Brooke in the position Of
governor general of the island, and
thus far he has maintained good order,
but there are very strong indications
that the more turbulent element will,
sooner or later make a plunge that will
bring all the forces of the United States
on the island to a pretty complete I'M
derstanding Of what they are there for.

st. Paul should be heard from In some
such manner as this. DR.. Burnside
Foster is the editor-ln- chief, and Dr.
H Longstreet Taylor is the business

There are many lines Of thought

sue with much advantage to the fra

to the people in common. An idea pre-

The shortest sermon ever preached was
perhaps the sermon which DR.. Whewell was
fond of repeating from the text, MAN Is

The sermon occupied barely a minute in
delivery, the following being a verbatim re-
port: 81 shall divide the discourse into three
heads: l. Mans tngress into the world; 2,
His progress through the world; 8. His egress
out of the world

THE FALL OF ADAM.

When Adam In the Garden lived.
And cultivated crops.
The railroad man had not arrived
With transportation props
Old Adam raised and threshed his wheat
BY methods most uncouth.
ana Wept because he could not cheap-
Ly send IT to Duluth.
He watched the market every day
And every night I wis.
And dreamt with millers to get CAV
In Minneapolis
A saving man was Adam bold.
Of wastefulness hater.
AND so. his ample crops to hold.
He built an elevator.
He built it where he said road
Would some day pass it by.
ana take his wheat a full train load
TO sell when quotes were high.
But though he prayed and lived in homo.
The railroad never came,
And SO he died a misanthrope
And gave the world the blame.
POOR Adam lived before his time.
AS you may plainly tell;
AND all who read this truthful rhyrna
May know why Adam fell.
