New York, Feb. la dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The
Spanish civil prisoners have not yet
been released. Tales of suffering,
hunger and dishonor come from the
provinces. Young Spanish girls are
forced to live in open with low born
natives. Their parents, being power
less. appealed to Aguinal6o. His reply
was letter from dishonored child
exacted after God knows what suffer-
ing-saying she is happy and content
ed. Ladies have suffered dishonor to
save their husbands from cruel treat
ment. Five priests have died in one
province from hunger and cruelty, al
though $50. 900 had been sent by the
corporation for their maintenance. APP
peal has been made to the American
nation, in the name of God, to stop the
tragedy.

CALIFORNIA BEET SUGAR.

l.ns Angeles, Dec .0.-Nathon Cole,
IT., large land holder IN Antelope
Valley, this county, has Just returned
from the East. Mr.. Cole says that as a
result of his absence Antelope Valley
will soon have a big beet sugar fac
tory in active construction. Cole and
hts associates own large interests in
the Antelope Valley and they have
been at work upon the sugar factory
project for long time. The enterprise
is now stated to be assured. The fac
tory will have a capacity of $50 tons n
day and will cost about S4,000,000 to
build and equip. A large sugar in
terest is behind the project and Mr..
Cole will go East again early in jan
uary to complete the necessary de-
tails for beginning active operations.
The new factory will, 1t is expected, be
ready to receive the beet crop in 1901
The company behind the enterprise
has prepared to plant ten thousand
acres in beets in the Antelope Valley
on lands already secured for the pur-
pose, which are to be cultivated by ir-
rigatipn.

Visiting the Wishing we,,..

In Scotland old customs die hard.
especially in the highlands, as was eyi.
denced on the first Sunday in MAY.
when the time-honored practice of pay.
ing n visit to the wells, the waters of
which are known for their healing vir-
tues, was observed by hundreds of per-
sons.
Young and old journeyed from In
verness during the day to st. Mary's
well, which is situated near to the
blasted Culloden heath, and after
drinking the water n coin was dropped
into the well. This act is supposed to
be an earnest of good health and sue
cess during the year
The practice of visiting wishing
wells" has descended from father to
son, and despite the fact that many
ministers point out that 1t is not CON
ducive to keeping the Sabbath holy, and
is only fit for superstitious barbarians
still the numbers who go to the well
never diminish
Not only was the practice observed
in parts of Iverness-shire, but in Ross
shire also numbers of people visited
the famous healing well of Craigiehow,
deposited their coins and returned an
parently satisfied that trouble and sick
ness had effectually been guarded
against in the coming year.

made in two parts. The head is formed
separately, with grooves on the under
side, and can be made of high-grade
steel. while the base, which may he of
inferior metal, is made triangular, as
stated, and as shown in the cut. After
the base is laid on the ties the head is
slid in it's place, its outwardly bent
tianges fitting into the grooves Of the
railhead.
The advantage of this is in avoiding
the wear and tear at rail joints. An
other feature Is that after the head has
become worn on one side 1t can easily
be taken off and turned without renoy-
ing the triangular support. 1t is also
stated that the interior Of the rail may
be utilized as conduit to contain tele-
phone or telegraph wires, thus avoid
ing the stringing of them on poles at
the side of the road.

did pomp. President Loubet has not
been long In office, but 1t is APPARENT
that he intends to live less pretentious-
ly and in closer accord with old-fash-
Toned ideas of republican simplicity.
In comparison with his predecessors in
office he is a poor man, and he has the
frugal tastes of the class of small coun-
try landholders from which he sprang.
He represents the great element Of
rural France. which studies and prac-
tees economy and dslikes wasteful-
ness and luxury. Pleasure loving Paris
laughs over the rumors of reform and
retrenchment In the kitchens and sery-
ant-halls of the Elysee, but the pres-
dents conduct meets with hearty an
proval in the country towns and vii
lagos, where thrift has never ceased to
be virtue. Even the boulevard wits
were silent when the president, re-
turning to his mothers home in Monte
limar, gave on unstudied exhibition of
flial reverence. Catching n glimpse of
her white hair rs he drove in triumph
through the town in n magnificent
coach behind an escort of cuirassiers,
he sprang to the ground, ran toward
the platform where she was seated and
embraced her again and again, while
she was sobbing from joy and pride. A
president who is not ashamed of his
humble peasant mother and remembers
her counsels Of thrift and carefulness,
stands for the best qualities of staid,
rural France. There is so much that
is sordid and contemplate in the pub
lie life of the republic with the strange
hurly-burly of the Dreyfus case. that
a touch of the simplicity of earlier and
better times is welcomed.

came a familiar feature In literature
and on the stage. The prompt recovery
of the Clark baby shows that, while the
world is all the time growing larger, in
another sense it is constantly decreas-
ing In size. The growth of great mod
ern cities, and the free movement of
people from place to place, would at
first seem to make 1t much easier to
carry out successfully crime of this
kind today than it was in the past; but
modern inventions have more than off
set these changed conditions of society.
When this child was stolen, such n
glare of publicity was thrown upon the
CRIME that no nook or corner of this
great country could long afford the
criminal a hiding-p place. The telegraph,
the steam railroad, the perfected police
system all lent their aid, but more val.
liable than all else were the services of
photography and the newspapers. The
aaliy Journals SO faithfully reproduced

Comrades, though few Of us may live to

of glory, when the sons of rebels and our
sons shall have fallen side by side in some
common cause of foreign war, as our sires

The statement that the telephones in
England are very poor will create no
surprise. Electricity as a household

ate habits of their English cousins,

kentucky's he m ocracy.


Republican small-fry politicians are
feeling joyful over the long drawn-out
fight in the Democratic Kentucky State
Convention, but 1t is safe to say that
their happiness will be short-lived.
There is scarcely any doubt about the
election of Goebel, the party candidate
for the Governorship, even IL he should
not poll the full strength Of the organi-
cation.
Kentucky is a Democratic State, de-
spite the fact that 1t was nip and tuck
between Mckinley and Bryan in 1896
This is proven by the fact that in the
year following the chief candidate on
the Republican ticket was beaten by
nearly $4,000, while In the Congress
sional elections of last yenr our party
had plurality in the different districts
of over 10000.
The Kentucky Democracy stands by
the Chicago platform of 1896, subject
to revision by the next National Con-
vention of the party. This is the proper
attitude to take, and on this point no
votes will be lost.-New York News.
