LECTURE COURSE.

The Epworth League proposes to give
free lecture course at the M. e. church
during the winter and spring, and invites
the attention of the public.
The course wss opened Friday evening
with a lecture by Rev. Sisson. on young
Women and Labor Question. The au-
dience manifested its appreciation of the
handling of the subject by the marked
attention which they gave the speaker.
The ground was taken that the volun-
tary engaging in wage earning by young
women, simply for the sake Of independ
ence, or to have some extra spending
money, was an incalculable evil. The
speaker said:
"In direct ratio, as young women have
voluntarily, become bread-winners, men
have become tramps."
He also declared that the cheapening
OF labor was largely result Of compe-
tition in the labor field by women who
are not compelled 70 work, but work
simply from choice. and further, that
the falling In wages was responsible for
much immortality.
The date OF the next lecture in the
course will be announced later. The
subject will be "In the Land Where
Mark Twain Roughed it"

PYTHIAN BALL.

The ball OF the Knights Of Pythias last
night was a splendid success. 1t was
not anticidated by the committee hav-

be very large crowd present, owing to
the numerous attractions which have
occurred during the past two weeks, but
they were highly gratified by the crowd
present, one Of the largest and most rep
resentative crowds Of the season.
However, the reputation tina the lod-

that sort, stood it we'll in hand and there
were many who would not have missed

Iantc Monthly. A little fringe of Eng
disappearing people, some 100000 In
number, occupied the territory along
the Atlantic seaboard. The English
speaking territory is little more than
a patch on the map, surrounded by
territories belonging to one or other OF
almost all the leading powers of Eu-
rope. Yet we look again toward the
end of the nineteenth century and a
wonderful transformation has taken
place; a later and vaster chapter OF
the world movement, of which we had
the opening chapters in another hem
isphere, has been enacted. North,
south, west, from Atlantic to Pacific,
from seaboard to seaboard, the great
wave of English-speaking civilization
has flowed, submerging, nay, obliterat-

Everything is chaotic, although when

Improvement"
According to William c. Harmon of
Chicago the foregoing paragraph epit-
omizes the situation in Havana today.
The chief city of the Antilles is so
much like the h-discussed cattle
camp that to an American the SINH
larity appeals irresistibly. Law indeed
exists, for the stern rule OF the military
governor controls all and prevents
serious uprising. Yet one American
soldier, filled with the wine of the
cafes, is terror to platoon of Cuban
police. Local self-government, so says
Mr.. Harmon, is an idle dream. The
Cubans, in his judgment, are no more
fit to rule themselves than were the
negro slaves of the south the day after
they were liberated.
Another thing Mr.. Harmon noticed
was that every Spaniard in Havana
is for annexation to the United States.
One would naturally expect these men

"Since the lowering Of the flag OF
Spain the principal occupation OF many
of the natives has been TO parade the
streets. wave Cuban flags and sing
.Cuba Libre.' They vary the monot-
ony by applying to the commissary de-
pots for food. They beg during the
dav and parade at night unless dis
persed by the police. something they
resent with furious outcries. A peg
gar will quit his role of mendicancy
for a while to join in procession
dancing and bowling about the streets.
The neople do not seem to realize that
life amounts to more than this. the
whole thing is huge farce.

The Present Conditions in Havana.

Prosperity will come to Cuba at
once if the natives will get TO work.
When l left there was every prospect
for good crops. The tobacco planta-
lions and sugar fields were in fine con-
ditIon, and the prices Of tobaccos were
lower than dealers hoped for. If the
people could get rid OF the idea that
they will never again be required to
earn their own living the island would
blossom from end to end. But it looks
to me as if this country will be forced
to take the island to pay for the ex-
pense that must be incurred in right
ing things. These natives will not be

one half-drunken American soldier is

does it, too, as often as he gets the
chance. While things are quieting

They come to the city and fill up and
then they make life miserable for the
poor coppers. Discipline is a
good thing and is kept up all right,
but man away on leave, full of whis-
ky and fight is hard TO restrain. So
the policeman has little sport in life.
THE Cubans are very abstemious,
but they make up in vividness of i'm
agination what they lack in artificial
exhilaration. Never do anything to-
day you can put off till tomorrow
seems to be the national motto. When
tomorrow comes the song is repeated,
so that in the end nothing is accom-

took hold. 1t will take years to make

1t is notable that Queen Victoria was
to have passed through France on
March 9th. The figure nine plays an
important part in the history OF the
English royal family. Queen Victoria's
father was one of nine sons; the
Queen is the ninth sovereign since the
revolution, and was born in Che nine
teenth century. The Prince Consort
was born in 1919. The Queen has had
nine children. The Prince of Wales
was born on November 9Th and mar
ried the Princess of Wales in her nine
tenth year. The Princess, too, is the
daughter of Christian TX. OF Denmark

think they have won would not do
them any good, so this nation, having
taken hand, will be forced to hold
IL to the end. Negro rule is no more
popular with the best grades of life
in Havana than it is in New Orleans.

but it is up against it. There Is a
cnance to avoid the mistakes of the

all Spanish-will be dissatisfied with
any other result of the occupation.
Those Cubans," continued Mr.. Har-
mon, ARE mere children. In fact, a
boy of this country of 10 years who
does not know more about running
things would be driven from a school
ground. After | became acquainted
with them and their characteristics /
marveled that we found il necessary to
go there and fight for them. They
have about as much practical knowl-
edge OF the liberty they think they
have obtained as a baby has of a
magazine gun. In fact, if the gun
should be unloaded the baby would
have the best Of it.
The Spaniards are the merchants
and business men of the city. They
have their all invested there and, Of
course, do not want to lose it. They
are unwilling to trust their lives and
fortunes to any assembly of Cubans,
this means. II is not so much that
they fear they would be slaughtered,
for they are, many of them, natives of
the island. But the utter incapacity
of the genuine Cuban to govern him
self would leave them the prey to any
adventurer who should come along
and who should be smart enough to
gain the ascendancy.
ITO begin with, the Cubans are ex-
cessively lazy. They will accept any
thing you give them and accept it as if
it belonged to them. They are too in
dolent to work and will lie in the
courts of buildings and die if not re-
