Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-10-26

Iue WHole rural llle OF unree great
provinces-Havana, Matanzas and
Santa Clara-was absolutely blotted
out. Occasionally clump of banana
trees, whose roots had escaped the
fire, or scarlet creeper, would show
where a farm house had stood; but
the tropical growth quickly covered
the ruins. 1t was inconceivable that
in the midst of this teeming vegeta-
ton the country should be desert,
for no sign of human life appeared.
"On the contrary, every town and
city visited was thronged with beg
gars, many of them emaciated and
gaunt; women, children, cripples and
few broken-s spirited men; and the
dreadful odor of every place occupied
by Spanish soldiers. There was no
decency, there was no sanitation; in
our sense of the word, indeed, there
was no discipline. 1t was wanton
and prohigate devastation in the time
of peace.
Amid all this misery, and herding
together like cattle, were the little
children, the future citizens of Cuba,
whether as a republic or as a part of
the United States. And it was for the
upbringing and developing of the
future generation of the island tha
the Cuban Orphan Relief Fund was
started.
Mr.. Charles W. Gould, who is very
prominently connected with the fund,
made remark few days ago which
corroborates statement made by a
Catholic priest, who had just returned
from Havana, as to the patriarchal
system in Cuba. Mr.. Gould said:
81 never saw anything to equal the

The Philadelphia Bulletin has been
making comparison of the number
of people in that city who attend the
theatre and those who attend church,
and finds the church attendance far in
excess. The weekly attendance at the
different places of amusement, it says,
is not more than 1000 1t is hard
to compute the church attendance, ex-
actly.

Governor Roosevelt, in his address
to the class of 1899 at Cornell Univer-
sity, said: "Our country can better
afford to lose all of the men who have
amassed millions than to lose one half
of its college-bred men. We can get
along without men of enormous
wealth, but not without men of
brains"

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The calcined ashes of seaweed,
known as ''kelp," was formerly a
most important product and entered
largely into the Scotch manufactured
glass, finding considerable use also
in ot>Ar arts, but in recent years this
industry has been almost entirely
abandoned.
The magnetic observations at the
Vienna Observatory have had to be
entirely discontinued on account of the
bad effects OF the electric tramways
and electric light wires. The direc-
tor of the observatory has submitted
q plan to the Government for a new
observatory, to be situated some dis
tance from Vienna.
Interesting experiments were re-
Gently conducted on board of the
French battleship ia ureguiberry, to
determine the limit of distinct vision
at sea. A balloon was held captive at
an elevation of 1900 feet while the
Carnot endeavored to locate the bal
loon with her searchlights at distances
varying from five to twenty-five miles.
The experiments proved that the limit
of vision under the circumstances was
about twenty miles.

of clips. The temperature can be per-

nor apparently is it likely to do so in
the case of the Montclair curiosity.
This is undoubtedly what the natu-
ralists call ''sport," one of those &C.
centricities for which nature refuses
to give reason. The same thing has
been observed in the plant world,
more frequently, however, under cul-
tivation than in nature. And in no

Mother in Canada Notified IL Any

Valdosta, Ga, April 1.-THE coolest,
most determined and probably the most
horrible suicide ever committed In this city
occurred this evening at o'clock, when
white man named Robert Miller, and
claiming to be q member of a plumbers
union in Birmingham Ala, cut his throat
from ear to ear with a piece of glass
broken from a window in the county jail.
He had called the jailor once or twice.
His calls attracted a crowd In the street.
AS the people stood hooking at the win
dow he deliberately finished the work of
self-destruction in their presence, by stab
bling himself repeatedly with the piece of
glass.
Doctors were summoned, but he died in
a few minutes time
The man was a stranger here, and
reached the city last night. He claimed
to be a plumber, and told some men of his
trade this morning that something was
wrong with him, and had been since three
or four nights ago at Jacksonville, Fla.
He did not believe in hypnotism, he said,
but somebody had tricked him, and he said
that he became violent at times.
He appeared perfectly rational when he
talked IN the morning. He told much the
same story to Chief of Police Dampier.
He approached the chief about o'clock,
and told him that a conspiracy was being
formed among the plumbers here to kill
him. The chief saw a once that he was
suffering with an Illusion, and tried TO
quiet him Miller began to rave almost,
and begged protection, or the loan of a
couple of pistols with which to protect
himself.
The chief lead him to the county Jail
and gave him room on the upper floor,
thinking to keep him there until he became
quiet or could be adjudged insane.

the cell, don't you see there are no bars

The sheriff and chief both assured him
that they would watch and protect him.

Several people were attracted to the jail
by his yells, and they went with the off,

Miller was then standing at the door,
and began to talk to them. He threw his
head back and showed them what he had
done.
The crowd was Mortified by the spectacle
which greeted their eyes, and some one
ran for a doctor. The man turned DELHI

himself repeatedly severing the windpipe
and jugular vein, causing almost instant
death.
His body was prepared for burial, and
will be buried at the county's expense.
He requested the chief of police this
morning to wire the chief at Hamilton.

might be told of any trouble that overlook

said John was In poor health, had heredi-
tary dyspepsia, and was weak minded.
She said he took morphine, some times as
much as five cents worth day. She said
the doctors prescribed il for him. She said
that Capt. Nash had told her that If he
could convict a man, just anybody, that
was all they wanted. and that no hurt
would come to John. Nash was talking
about a reward.
Ex-Sheriff Austin of DeKalb county said
that John Pendley had spent several
nights in the Jail about the time Of the
murder of Ponder, but he could not say
whether he was there on the Identical
night or not. He said Pendley used to
whip his mother and appeared at times to
suffer great agony. He would froth at
the mouth, and the witness thought on
several occasions that the defendant would
die. He thought Mrs. Pendley's character
was bad, and would not believe her on
oath. He would not believe Jack Palmer
on OATH either.
DR.. Goss, who has attended Fendey oc-
casionally, testified that he showed symp-
toms which pointed to the use of NOR
phine. He had the appearance of NOR
phine eater.
PendIey's Statement.
Pendley was placed on the stand to make
his statement. He talked In a clear, dis
tinct voice but said nothing new. He
wanted to take off his coat to show the
scars which he claimed 10 have on his
back, but this was not allowed by the
court. He said that he had confessed to
the crime because he wanted to get away
from the chain-gang where they whipped
him so much. He said he never knew
Bankston before he met him at Decatur.
Detective Wooten had asked him for de-
scription of the interior of the building,
but he did not know what 1t looked like
and that Wooten had made a drawing of
1t. Detective Wooten denied the statement
which Pendley had made.
Bankston was placed on the stand. and
said the first time he ever saw Pendley
was in Decatur. The night Ponder was
killed he was eating his supper when the
shots were fired He said he hired Rice TO
watch for him, but did not know him fy
that name.
Both sides rested from the Introduction
of testimony at this point The state is
represented by Solicitor General Hill and
the defense by Messrs. George Westlnore-
land w. S. Howard and Cuyler Smith. all
of whom will make speeches.
