The birth Of an heir to the Earl of

Cubans Want Money.

Havana. June 17.-At Remedies to-
day more than 5000 Cuban soldiers are
awaiting payment. Lieutenant Colonel
Rafferty,. SO far, has paid out $2S,275.
The mayor of Remedies has received
323 rifles. The men awaiting payment
fill the hotels and houses and many of
them sleep in the parks. A number of
men expecting payment have incurred
debts for food, and several of the
names do not show on the lists.
Benito Hernandez, who served dur
ing the ten years war, and who has
been in the field since 1895, has not
been placed on the list. This is an ex-
ample of the way in which the lists are
drawn up. The American soldiers are
restraining the crowds who are anx-
ious to be paid, but the Cubans are or
derly. The payment of the Cubans at
Cardenas began this morning.
After an argument between the may
or and the Cuban colonel, Mayato, the
Americans agreed to pay all men who
were identified even II they did not
have any arms in their possession.

Nothing taxable which Spain's Gu
padity could reach-not even the gravs
seems to have escaped the clutches
Of her representatives In Cuba. A
vivid idea Of the thoroughness of their
methods in this particular is given in
the fact that yearly tax was assessed
upon each lstter on the signs used by
merchants and others. This impost
was farmed out to contractors, who
in collecting, were often arbitrary and
annoying. 1t will remain in force till
June. 1899. and Americans who have
begun business and have hung out
signs at any time within the year are
compelled to pay full years tax.

The most extraordinary book sale of
this century is that attending What
Would Jesus Do?" by the Rev Charles
Sheldon Of Kansas. Over three million
copies have been sold In England
alone, while three other of his books,
published at penny apiece, recently
ran through an edition of nine hun
dred thousand copies in a fortnight.
While the poet laureate has lately
called upon our government to redress
the copyright laws respecting English
authors. twenty English publishers
have pirated Mr.. Sheldon's sermon

ate man Is OF no abiding city, nor can
any country call itself immune from

Obituary..

SARAH ANN STRAwN-Sarah
Ann Strawn was born in Hopewell
Township, Perry County, Ohio,
June Goth, 1926. Was married to
Smith Hartsel Nov. 9Th, 1S45, to
this union were born three children,
two sons and one daughter. Her
sickness was a complication of
heart trouble and dropsy; she was
taken sick Nov. 80, 1898, and died
Sept. 8, 1899, aged 70 years, 2 mo.
and 8 days. She leaves to mourn
her demise, three children and
eleven grand children; father hav-
ing gone before her three years,
less 7 days 1t is sad task, faith er
and mother both gone, the home
we loved so well is vacant, but sad
as the task may be we feel it duty
to write if possible some of the en-
dearlng characters of her. our de-
parted mother. She professed q
hope in her Savior more than thirty
years ago but never united with
the church till five years ago when
she united with the church of her
choice, the Primitive Babtist
church at SCOTS Creek near Logan,
o., where she remained faithful
member until the time of her
death, when she fell asleep in the
arms of her blessed Jesus which
she had long prayed for. She was
perfectly resigned to the will of the
Lord. We mourn but not as those
that have no hope.
Elder G.. N. Tussing of Columbus,
o., spoke words of comfort on the
above occasion to large assembly
of neighbors and friends, after
which her body was laid to rest by
the side of her late companion in
life in the Ewing cemetery to await
the morning OF the resurrection
Knowing that God Is too wise to
err, too good to be unkind, we bow
10 humble submission to his will
believing that our loss is her eternal
gain. May the blessing of the dear
Savior sanctify this sad bereave.
ment to our good, is our prayer.

Isaac A. Wright, Injured.

1t Is with much regret that we re-
cord the fact that Mr.. Isaac Wright,
our genial Inf1rmary Director, was
seriously injured near his home at
Gore Monday night. He was return
ing from visit to his sons late at
night, and coming down over the
hill at fuckers the horse evidently
shyed or stumbled into the gutter,
throwing Mr.. Wright out of the bug
gy under the horses heels. He was
found by Mr.. Tucker about ten
o'clock in an unconscious condition.
His head had been horribly lacerat-
ed by his horses feet, and his jaw
broken. Physicians were called but
have little hope of his recovery. He
recovered consciousness Tuesday
forenoon but is said to be hurt seri-
ously inwardly. The horses hind
feet were clotted with blood.
Mr.. Wright has been one of the
most prominent citizens in our
county, an exemplary man ard a
worthy gentleman, and his injury
has caused much regret among his
legend of friends here.
