Cub. . New Field for sport.

Hunting in Cuba will be a fashion
able sport some of these days, because
Cuba is a great game country, and the
kind of game found there gives the
best of sport. There are deer, which
come to the edges of the openings and
clearings at dusk and dawn to feed.
Countless focks Of pigeons and doves
bend the branches of the trees by their
weight. There are long, thick snakes
fit to try sportsman's skill with gun
OF rifle-snakes that furnish beauti-
fully mottled skins for trophies. Wild
boars live in the dense wooden brush
and it takes a hardy man to face a
wounded one. There are wild dogs, too,
and many birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Wild fowls are found on all
the streams, in the thickets live large
birds, chiefly guinea hens. Incidental
ly hordes of stray outlaws may add to
the excitement of hunt during the
next few years.-Chicago Chronicle.

were as notable for military as for civic
success, exhibiting in each field of pub
lie endeavor a singularly high degree
of ability and achievement. She was
born about 40 years ago.
Mrs. Draper was educated almost
wholly abroad, receiving a careful and
thorough education at the Convent of
the Sacred Heart, Paris. She has re-
peatedly been abroad before and since
her marriage, on May %, 1890. Prior 10
her marriage she was one of kentucky IS
leading bellies, justly enjoying the high
est social distinctions of the most ex-
elusive society of the state. She fre-
quently came in summer to eastern
watering places, and in 1889 met Gen.
Draper and others of his family at Mar
ragansett Pier.
Soon after the marriage ceremony,
at the family mansion in Lexington,
Gen. and Mrs. Draper went to Europe,
where they remained that summer. On
their return from Europe Gen. and Mrs.
Draper occupied Gen. Draper's resi-
dence in Hopedale, Mass, which had
been thoroughly remodeled and largely
rebuilt and refurnished during their
absence. Mrs. Draper proved most
gracious and welcome addition to Hope
dale's social circle. She exhibited un-
der informal social conditions most
graceful tact, and won the hearty com
mendation of those associated with her.
The simple life of Hopedale she admira-
bly, supplemented with increased care
of and for those around her.
When Gen. Draper was elected to
congress, in 1892, Mrs. Draper filed
with singular ability and perfect tact
the difficult role of hostess and enter
tainer at Washington, and the Draper
entertainments and dinners were nota-
bly, successful.
Mrs. Draper, says the New York Her
aid, is of commanding physique, digni-
fled mien and charming manners. She
is thoroughly familiar with court eti-
quette abroad, has repeatedly attended
drawing rooms of Queen Victoria, is
a brilliant conversationalist, speaks
French fuently and other languages,
and is in every way the ideal wife of
a United States ambassador. Her ed
ucation naturally cultivated her tastes
along high planes of literature, art and
music, but her chief attractions are So
cial, with and for the human. She
frankly admits that her delight in Civ
ing pleasure to others is much keener
than she derives from book, song
or statue. although she is not indif-
ferent to the charms of either.
With Gen. and Mrs. Draper is, of
course, their little daughter, Mar
guerite Preston Draper, the kindergar-
ten associate of the Cleveland children,
one of the cheeriest children that ever
frightened Washington society. Until
three years ago Mrs. Draper was as
sisted in her social duties by a daugh-
ter of Gen. Draper by a former mar
riage, who was married in February,
1895, to Mr.. Montgomery Blair, MEM
ber of the family prominently known
throughout the District OF Columbia
and Maryland.

ADJUSTMENTS.

| Rev. Mr.. kincaid's plea in favor Of
afnusements is excellent, and it is prac.
tical too. The national idea of the
Anglo-SaxOn race, for several centur-
| les, has been that there was a serious
and irrepressibIe conflict between
amusements and religion. How was

laugh, when according to the creeds
there were, beyond any questions, dead
relatives and friends of every family
suffering eternal torment? Could any
one smile if his brother or friend was
III an adjoining room in the act OF
being broken on the wheel or being
skinned alive? Even a very moderate
realization of this doctrine of eternal
punishment could only make intelli-
gent and sympathetic human beings
utterly miserable in their waking
hours. No Christian faith, however ex-
allied, could make a mother smile when
she realized that her Maynard and
dead son was plunging into the burn
| ing lake.
Revised and modified views now en-
able good people TO forget these ter
| rors. There is no vivid suggestion OF
white heat in "Sheol"
But the theory of amusement is still
crude, because the knowledge of pSy-
chology is still crude. Education in the

ing themselves, that the theatre or

places where others will amuse them.
The sombreness In isolated homes, and
especially in the country places, where
there is little wealth, is largely due
to the fact that amusement is either
an incidental or trivial matter, or is
a hindrance to Industrious ways In
deed, it was, we believe, De Quincy
who said that we were not sufficiently
civilized to enjoy ourselves For, he
said, if one looked closely at we'll

ing and then at Devonshire OK,
there seemed TO be about the same re-
sources in each, so far as amusement
was concerned, and both OK and mer-
chant agreed that there was more
fun" in good dinner than in any
other device of man. If, as Goethe
said, 'amusements are golden clouds,
which. though but for little, divert
men from their miseries,' then the
Universities should teach. us how to
generate golden clouds. These moder-
ate reflections of the Advertiser are

NEW PROCESS
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVE.

\ sort OF dread may prevail among
housewives that perhaps these stoves
might explode. but We can honestly say
that they are perfectly safe in every
home. To endorse our statement lust
have a talk with any insurance agent:
he will tell you at once that he would
rather insure a home where these
stoves are used than issue a policy on
a home where different stoves are used.
You wonder why the Blue Flame
stove should be better than any other.
Wen tell you. In this country the mat
ter OF fuel Is a very large item of ex-
pense. As you have turned over a
new leaf since the New Year and in
tend eConomlzing where you never
thought OF before. you may begin on
your coal and wood. Il Is n positive
fact hat the BLUE FLAME" uses
only about ons-half the quantity of fuel
any other stove does. Another great
advantage Is that there Is no smoke or
smell.
These stoves are placed on rollers
and are so light they can be easily
moved about. We have them In two
sizes. one with two burners with oven
attached and the other with three
burners with oven. CThe price Of these
stoves Is SIC. s22.5O and ,s5.Oo). We
can't tell you all about them; the best
thing to do Is to come and look at

Minister damon, speaking as a bank
of cash in the Islands is not far from
$4,000, 900. We do not know what the
data before him is. He should know it,
if it Is or can be known. But some
a different conclusion.
On the 1st OF January there was not
in all of the banks of this city over
$500, 900 in cash. Add to this the
amount in the government vaults as
recently returned, 1929 ,60495, and the
total is about $1,649, 900. Reliable in
formation places the amount of cash
held by the merchants at small fig
ures insignificant in this calculation.
The plantations and country stores
carry little cash. But add 100000 as
the sum carried in safes, and used in
trade, TO the above amount, and the
total is only s1,S49,000 as the visible
amount of cash. If this visible amount
is deducted from Minister Damon's es-
Inmates of nearly S5,000,000. there is,
in round numbers, $4,000 600 yet to be
accounted for. Where is II? If it is
boarded, it will remain boarded. What
then, are the reasons for believing that
the cash in the Islands is more than
double the amount of the visible cash?
How much of it has gone to Asia?
Shall we do our finances on an I'M
known factor?
Owing 10 our situation and condi-
tons, our financiering has been, here
torore, of the rural" order It was
amply sufficient for our needs.
But we are now at period of trans
formation. We are adopting the COM
plicated financial methods of the great
commercial world. But, unlike the
permanently prosperous coutries, we
are banking" and financiering mainly
on legislative assets which all expert
ence shows cannot be regarded as the
very best foundation for permanent
prosperity. The production of wheat
for instance, is independent of legisla-
tive influence. But the sugar markets OF
the United States will be more or less
affected by legislation which deter

THE AMOUNT OF CASH.

The amount of coin, or notes con-
vertable into coin in a country or a
community, is an important factor in
commercial affairs; especially during
those periods, and they come with
alarming frequency, when there is a
general want of confidence in values,
and there is general scramble for
coin, or notes convertible into coin
Bank exchanges to the lextent of a
hundred millions of dollars in a day,
and the payments in trade amounting
TO the same sums, are made when con-
fidence exists through credits and
cheques, without the need of more
than a small amount of money. 1t
is during the periods OF a general
want of confidence that credit and
cheques are abandoned, and the fright
ened owners OF securities call for cash
only. In several financial pancs, there
have been short periods during which
money could not be borrowed on the
securities of the bonds of the United
either needed it, or could use it to
better advantage in the purchase of
depressed securities
In the great financial centres of the
United States and Europe, the finan-
cial conditions and securities Of one
country are so well understood now in
other countries and the means OF
transferring money iby telegraph or
vessel are so extensive that a pressing
demand for money in one country is
instantly met by a supply from other
countries.
Isolated as we are in these Islands
one of the dangers is, that in panicky
market the amount of money avail
able for banking purposes may be
matter of the highest Importance, and
therefore, as matter of precaution,
it should be known.
1t should also be kept we'll in mind
that by far the largest part of the agri-
cultural and industrial interests on the
Mainland are not owned by corpora
fions, and are not represented by
shares of stock which are bought and
sold. On the other hand, the chief in.
dustry of these Islands is mainly rep
resented by shares of stock in corpor-
atoms, and. as is usual under such
conditions, will be the basis of loans
and loans are vitality affected by the
amount of money in circulation or at
command On the Mainland, in fin
ancial panic, the value of farms and
industrial plants are not generally af-
fected. But stocks and bonds. which
are involved in risks, are quickly af-
fected owing to the large amount Of
money loaned on them. The contrac-
tion of these loans, under mistrust
OF the value OF The securities, precipi-
tates rapid decline in prices.
AS the dealings in the sugar stocks
increase. and they take here a specu-
lative form, as they would do in any
enterprising community, a knowledge
of our cash resources or rather our
banking capital should not be neg
lected.
