WHAT LUDLOW SAYS.
A Constitutional Assembly VIII Soon
Be Called In Cuba.

New York, Nov. 8-Brigadier Gen.
eral William Ludlow, Military Govern
or of Havana, who arrived in New York
Harbor yesterday afternoon on the
steamer Havana and was detained at
quarantine, said today: 81 am glad to
say that the feeling Of Cubans toward
Observation-Disclosures the military re-
preventative of the Government or
others-has greatly improved during
the recent months.
''The necessity of doing our part of
the work thoroughly, 30 that there
shall be the smallest possible chance
for failure of self-gove rnment, makes
it very difficult to say when the mill
ary occupation ought to end.
''The organizing of civil government
is proceeding prosperously throughout
the cities and towns of the island. In
many it is perfected; in others it is well
under way; in the rest it is either being
undertaken or about to be.
"Among the final pre- partitions for the
full assumption of power by the Cubans
will be the election of a constitutional
assembly. The date for that election
has not been fixed, nor have the details
which must attend it been worked out
either by our Government or by the
Cuban leaders themselves. In short,
particulars relating to the constitution
al organization of Cuba still belong to
the future"

Meanwhile one of the spectators had
silently approached the carbon drawing.
He had a simple demeanor and a kind,
patient face. Nothing great was known
of him, no chronicle has preserved his
name, for he led a retired life, away
from the noise of the world. With hands
crossed over the knob of his walking
stick he contemplated the drawing.
"What noble forehead"' he thought.
"What lofty humanity that bent figure
suggests! Oh, if only one could be like
that! But why wish for the impossi-

As he stood there, silent and humble,
the likeness to the drawing was so strik-
ing that everybod fell back, pointing to
him in whispers.
Startled and ashamed he slipped away,
unable to understand why they should
stare at him.
In his conscious humility he had re.
sembled the Christ shadow.
Had he known this, and, proud in that
consciousness, stood erect, the likeness
would have vanished.-St. Louis Globe

REMARKABLE SURGERY.

On Tuesday evening of last week
Frank Miller, son of VIM. Miller, and
step-grand-son of Samuel Smith, while
at work with team of horses, was
kicked by one of them in the side of
the head, the skull being literally
crushed in, some of the fragments lacer-
ating the brain, portions of which escap-

dent was made in our last issue. Since
then DR.. ]. L. Wylie was called, and, as
sisted by DR.. Alex. Wylie, trephined
the skull and removed considerable
portion of the the side of the skull.

injury, the injury of the brain and loss
of brain substance, the patient at this
writing is doing we'll, with strong hopes
of his recovery. So much for the prog

A SHADOW.

Hans Alienus lived in humble cottage
before the open window shutter. How
difficult it was 10 get at closing it! The
lir was cool, the city still. Below in the
harrow, billy street came muleteer
,stride, STOPPING forward over the back
Of the ass, whose little hoofs clicked and
slipped on the big, smooth stones. He
sang monotonous song in the customary
plaintive drawing, nasal tones of the
easterner, and as he passed along the
sound of his voice reminded one of the
bagpipe.
On the window sill lay a manuscript
dissertation, and so clear and brilliant
was the February moonlight that Hans
could read the fine writing without diff
fculty. 1t was a defense of the establish
ed order of things, of standstill conserva-
tism, admitting of no exception. And
as he stood there in the city where the
idea of human brotherhood was born and
had gone forth over the earth, as he
glanced over the pages Of the document,
he said to himself: mo, no; we young
people are natural foes to conservatism.
We are the ones who now, in all ages,
have broken ground for the truths which
have proceeded from this city" AS he
spoke he made an unconscious movement
with his hand. At the same time his
glance fell upon his own shadow on the
wall, outlined by the moon.
He could not restrain his laughter.
Was not that the shadow of an actor, the
head thrown back, the hand extended as
if he were declaiming some stirring
passage?
A feeling of shame swept over him as
he considered for the first time that,
among the ideas transmitted from that
city to the western world as a cargo of
precious jewels, was a tiny pearl, hui
| manity.
He closed his eyes and pressed his
hands over his face, and a thousand little
stars seemed to flash before his sight
| To be sure, it was merely the pulsations
of his own blood which produced this
| sensation, and yet, little by little. those
| tiny lights ceased to revolve and looked
for all the world like the pale stars which
he had just been watching in the frma

Not From Senate, But From
Leadership.
DECISION ARRIVED AT.
Early In the Recent Campaign. His
Last Active Fight in Politics.

st. Louis, Nov. 9-The Globe Demo-
crat publishes the following from its
correspondent at Columbus:
Senator Hanna will not again be an
issue in Ohio. He may not announce
for some time his withdrawal from the
active direction of party affairs, but his
friends here agree that he will retire
from the conspicuous position he has
held when the presidential campaign
opens, II not earlier.
"Before the close of the present con-
test it was practically settled that the
senator would resign leadership in party
Many Ohio Republicans
who have remained loyal to the organi-
zation and who have labored zealously
to prevent the anti-Hanna sentiment
from proving more disastrous than it
has to the party, have expressed them
selves plainly to the effect that change
from Senator Hanna was desirable.
The senator himself has realized the
strength of his antagonism, but he felt
that he could not withdraw under fire
and none of his friends were willing
that he should. But the word has been
passed around quietly that this would
be the last campaign that he would
try to manage and there has been no dis
sent from the opinion and the interest
of the party nationally demanded such
a change. But for the dissemination
Of this impression that the senator will
cease to dominate, the work of arousing
and unifying Republicans would have
been harded than it was, and it was
hard enough.
Opposition by friends of the presi
dent to Mr.. Hanna's management was
never so strong as in the present cam
paign. Many of the most earnest Nc
Kinley men in the state urged early il
the fight that they would be doing the
president and the party at large ser
vice by defeating the State ticket thi:
year in order to emphasize the unpop
ularity of Mr.. Hanna. They were
brought into line by the counter argu
ment that such sacrifice would be o
such moral encouragement to Bryanisn
as to be very dangerous. They wer,
promised that Mr.. Hanna would retir,
from the position he has held when thi
campaign was over. The fact that hi
own city and county, Cleveland ant
Cuyahoga, revolted with such irrecon
cilable spirit against him was the sever
est blow which was given to Mr.. Hanna
In 1896 Mckinley carried Cuyahog
county by $500. In 1897 BUSHNELL
plurality in the county was 100. L
1898, last year, the Republican pluralit
was 10000. This year Senator Ham
was Utterly unable to get the Republ
cans into line. There was no place i
the State where John r. Mclean wa
so unpopular with the Democrats. Blu
the Republican feeling against Senate
Hanna seemed to culminate in his hom
county and it nullified conditions whic
should have given an increase

CANNED FRUITS FROM POrlPEm.

We are indebted to the Pompeiians
who lived. in the first century of the
Christian era, for our knowledge of
how to can fruit. When excavations
were first being made on the site of
Pompeii, a jar Of figs was found, as
fresh and perfect as when put into the
jar. Investigations proved that the
fruit had been put into the jars very
hot, and that an aperture which had
been left in the lid for the escape Of
steam, had afterward been sealed over
with wax. Yankee ingenuity caught
the idea, and the next year canning
factories were erected all over the
United States.- Press.
