The Interior Of Cuba Region OF De-
serted villages.
On by train into interior Cuba-a
region of abandoned farms. ruined
plantations and deserted villages.
Matanzas province is desert of ashes;
Santa Clara wilderness OF weeds;
the province of Santiago, jungle.
The ruin and the desolation are the
terrible autographs OF rifle and torch.
Royal palms guard the plantation re-
gion, useless sentinels ever since the
day in which $50, 900, 900 of sugar
cane became drifting ashes. Nine
miles from Guanabana the train
came to a washout, stopped, giving US
time to wander about the country.
Not an inhabitant was visible-yes,
in one Of the ruined haciendas / did
find one family. Father, mother and
daughter had been living on potatoes
and fruit for more than year. Meat
and money they had not seen since
the beginning of the instruction.
The lonely ones living there were
worse off than Arabs in the deserts,
for they had neither horses nor salt.
Learning that they actually beheld an
American, they fell to the ground and
kissed my boots. Then they wanted
to know IL what they had heard was
really true-that President Mckinley
was coming to live in "Cooba" and
was to furnish all "Coobans" with
Goldfish and cornmeal and coin forever.
After that, at every plantation WIS.,
tied, l found paciticos living in the
same tomb-like seclusion, the ghostly
apparitiuns of paradise in ruins

The second day of County Court pass

a continuance OF the tactics employed up
on the two days of the term now passed

Seldom has court been called together
when so few cases appeared for trial. The
morning session lasted hardly an hour and
IN the afternoon court adjourned after
being in session only "a short time.
The most important work of the day
was the decree for the orator in the chanc-

MURPHY AT TIE HOSPITAL.
still In u Critical Condition From tho Pts
tol shot Wound Inflicted by
George Doherly.

Edward Murphy, the man who was shot.
1t is alleged. by George Doherty in a
quarrel near Bolton some weeks ago, Was
brought TO this city Monday noon and
taken to the Mary Fletcher Hospital in
the ambulance. Murphy stood the jour-
ney to this city well and was resting cas-
lily at the hospital last evening. No OK
animation has yet been made of the pa
tient and nothing of this kind will be at
tempted until he is entirely free from the
effects of the journey from Waterbury to
burlington. Murphy'S condition is ctill
very serious as the wound from the bullet
is in his EFT lung and not in the stomach
as was first supposed. Miss Rock, who has
remained at Murphy's bedside up to his
removal to this city, did not accompany
him to the hospital She is the young
lady over whom the quarrel. which led up
to the shooting is supposed TO have &C.
Cured.
Murphy states that he knows of no roa-
son why anyone should attempt to Kill
him and that he had no difficulty with
Doherty except some slight troutlc over
a newspaper. He claims to have no ill
feeling toward Doherty and does not want
him heavily punished. He also says that
so far as he knows Miss Rock had moth
ing to do with the shooting.

exactly what is claimed for it.
And of what other remedy can that be
said?
Every form of nervous trouble, whether
localized in the muscles, heart. brain. or
in the nerves themselves, is cured-to say
curcd-by Paines celery compound. Every
kitd and degree of impoVeI,s hment of the
system is overcome by this greatest of all
invigorators after other remedies have
shown no beneficial effect.
1t is the spring remedy Vouched for by
physicians. teachers ana well read, well
Informed men and women in every part
OF the country.
People are everywhere dying of exhaust
cd nervous energy or dragging out their
live in pain ana discomfort. because OF
sleop!essness, nervousness and fagged-out
brains. The objective point of Paine's
celery compound in successfully curing
such nervous troubles is to feed the ner-
yes. build up the wasted brain-parts
nourish the tissues and increase the con-
structive capacity OF the blood. Health
and renewed life to all the nervous tissues
thus takes the place OF the lethargY and
the debility of disease. when Painc's ce.-
cry compound is employed.
