land fell into the hands Of the Arabs
Twelve centuries ago. Their men are
the first very singular persons the
traveller sees on board the ship which
takes him to India, their singularity
consisting in their long, sallow faces
and large eyes, their shiny, patent
leather-looking, tubular hats and their
long and ugly coats. They are most

permit their widows to marry again.
Their first rule of life is to practice
benevolence, and no people do this
more literally. They maintain nearly
two-score charitable institutions in
Bombay alone. They are the only peo-
pie in the world who do not smoke,
and this is because they will not trife
with fire, which is sacred in their be-
lief. They never expectorate and they
will not in any way contaminate the
earth or water or defile the trees and

They have no beggars among them;
they are monogamists; they are not

The trocha was built originally in
1868, and was renewed in 1895. 1t was
intended as an impossible barrier. to
Keep the unruly Cubans of the eastern
half of the island from getting into the

The trocha consists of wide ditch

eight men to 1000 about every 300
yards the Spaniards seemed well
equipped to stop any party of bellig-
crent Cubans who might be migrating
with hostile intent toward the rich
western provinces.
Nevertheless, the Cubans seemed
able to cross at will. Gen. Antonio
Maceo, with 5000 men, crossed near

Of two men wounded, and Gen. Gomez
crossed with a larger force near the i'm

This declaration was made only after
bitter fight, in which about one-third

The republican convention, on the

START OF ROCKEFELLER SPLIT
Quarrel Causing Frank to Leave the
Church Originated in Business
Deal Between Brothers.

The quarrel between the Rockefeller
brothers, which caused Frank Rookie
feller to withdraw from the Euclid Av-
enue Baptist church, Cleveland, o., be-
gan in 1892 when Frank and James
Corrigan borrowed $4,000 of the
Standard Oil chief to develop the
Franklin Iron Mining company in the
Mesaba range. The business venture
was a great success, and Corrigan and
Rockefeller were offered $1,S00OOO
for the property, which they refused.
John D. Rockefeller had $15O,00O of his
brothers paper, and as business pre-
caution asked for Corrigan's indorse-
ment. 1t was given, and Corrigan
then owed John D. large amount for
which he held collateral. When Cor
rigan paid his share of the loan and de-
manded his stock back John D. Rookie
feller, it is claimed, told him that the
stock would be held as security for in
dorsement of Franks notes. Frank
Rockefeller and Corrigan then made ef-
forts to get money elsewhere to pay off
John D. They claim that they ar
ranged with the Iron Range company
to borrow the money, but John D.
heard Of it and at the last moment the
Iron Range company backed out.
Frank Rockefeller and Corrigan were
finally compelled to sell the Franklin
Iron Mining company for $50o,0oo to
prevent letting it go for the $4,000
debt.

determination and perseverance.
Hulls devotion to details and his
love of work give value to his service
as representative. He does lots of
