Havana Custom House Frauds.

Havana, July I'm the opinion OF
Havana lawyers generally, the accused
officials in the custom house fraud
cases now on trial, are likely to be ac-
quilted. Apparently everything has
been done to assist them against the
prosecution and it is openly asserted
that the fiscal himself is determined
that no one shall be convicted. For
months it has been known that every
effort was being made to secure the
acquittal of all. ALI belong to the
best families in Cuba, many being
members of the leading clubs, and
some are related even to the chief JUS
tice.
There is also the awkward fact that
almost every class of the community
is endeavoring to get exemption from
Jury duty.

Fears For Conger.

Washington, June ADMINISTERS
ton officials are quite concerned over
Chinese advices to the effect that the
members of the foreign legations in
Pekin are not at Tien Tsin with Ad-
miral Seymour's relief column. 1t is
believed here that Mr.. Conger would
have taken the very first opportunity
to communicate with his government,
and the fact that he has not done so Is
considered confrmatory that the lega-
ton representatives are still in Pekin,
and some fears are entertained for
them if still in the Chinese capital.

Hides His Own Griefs.

Jesus does not shadow the joys of
others with his own griefs. He might
have sat down in that wedding and
said: 81 have SO much trouble, so
much poverty, so much persecution,
and the cross is coming. l shall not
rejoice, and the gloom of my face and
of my sorrows shall be cast over all
this group" So said not Jesus. He
said to himself: Here are two per-
sons starting out in married life. Let
it be a joyful occasion. l will hide my
own griefs. 1 will kindle their JOY"
There are many not so wise as that. L
know household where there are
many little children, where for two
years the musical instrument has
been kept shut because there has been
trouble in the house. Alas for the
folly! Parents saying: I'VE will
have no Christmas tree this coming
holiday because there has been trou-
BILE in the house. Hush that laughing
I'D stairs! How can there be any joy
when there has been so much trou-
ble?" And so they make everything
consistently doleful and send their
sons and daughters to ruin with the
gloom they throw around them.
Oh, my dear friends, do you not
know those children will have trouble
enough of their own after awhile? Be
glad they cannot appreciate all yours.
Keep back the cup of bitterness from
your daughters lips. When your
head is down in the grass of the tomb.
poverty may come to her, betrayal to
her, bereavement to her. Keep back
the sorrows as long as you can. Do
you not know that that son may after
awhile have his heart broken? Stand
between him and all harm. You may
not fight his battles long. Fight them
while you may. Throw not the chill
Of your own dependency over his
soul. Rather, be like Jesus, who came
10 the wedding hiding his own grief
and kindling the joys Of others. So |

This chapter invites us to mar
riage celebration. 1t is wedding In
common life, two plain people having
pledged each other hand and heart,
and their friends having come In for
congratulation. The joy is not the
less because there is no pretension.
In each other they find all the future
they want. The daisy in the cup on
the table may mean as much as
score Of artistic garlands fresh from
the dollhouse. When daughter goes
off from home with nothing but
plain fathers blessing and a plain
mothers love, she Is missed as much
as though she were princess. II

sheltered her for eighteen years, that
in few short months her affections
should have been carried off by anoth-

Well, we are today at the wedding
in Cana Of Galilee. Jesus and his
mother have been invited. 1t Is evil
dent that there are more people there
than were expected. Either some peo-
or more invitations have been sent out
than it was supposed would be ac-
cepted. OF course there is not suf-
ficient supply of wine. You know that
there Is nothing more embarrassing to
housekeeper than a scant supply.

will not now be diverted to the
question so often discussed in my own
country whether it is right to drink
wine. 1 am describing the scene as it
was. When God makes wine he
makes the very best wine, and 10
gallons of it standing around in these
water pots-wine so good that the
ruler of the feast tastes it and says:
why, this is really better than any
thing we have had. Thou hast kept
the good wine until now" Beautiful
miracle! A prize was offered to the
person who should write the best es-
say about the miracle in Cana. Long
manuscripts were presented in the
competition, but a poet won the prize
by just this one line descriptive of the
miracle: "The conscious water saw

Soldier Talks of Cuba.

Robert Price, of Wilkesbarre, a soldier
In Battery A, Second artillery, which is
now stationed In Cuba, passed through
town on the Fourth. Mr.. Price was on
his way to the county seat to spend a
thirty-days' furlough.
In conversation with Tribune re-
porter, he stated that the life OF Ameri-
can soldiers and OF American citizens in
general was anything but pleasant in
Cuba. Tho natives are ignorant and
treacherous, being alike regardless OF
life and property, especially when the
life or property is that of an American. /.
According to Mr.. Price, II a Cuban
complains to a native policeman that a
Yankee has injured him, the "cop''
forthwith searches out the accused and
shoots him on the spot.
American interference is bitterly re-
sented on every hand, and the people
are becoming incensed against the
States. The Cubans are clamoring for
full control of all affairs on the island.

which began shortly before o'clock
last evening the property owned by John
Gregg, 172 and 174 South Ridge street,
was struck by bolt of lightning. A

the rafters by neighbor, M. Capece,
and an alarm was turned in from box 30,
at Luzerne and Washington streets.
Though the rain came down In torrents,
the Citizens Hose Company dashed to
