The Cubans are said to be pre-.
pairing for an outbreak against the
Americans and that trouble is i'm
minent. When the United States
declared war against Spain, it was
for the purpose of making Cuba in.

passed since that time, Cuba is no
nearer independence, and we do not

Mauds Come Delivers Lecture.

Maude Come, the Irish patriot
who is delivering lectures in this
country says of Queen Victoria in
her attitude toward Ireland: "In
truth, for Victoria in decepitude of
her 81 years to have decided after
an absence of half a century to re-
visit the country she hates, whose
inhabitants are victims of the
criminal policy of her reign, the
political necessity must have been
terribly strong, for after all she is a
woman, and, however vile, selfish
and pitiless her soul, she must some
time be repentant.
Every eviction during the 63
years have been carried out in
Victoria's name and if there is jus
tice in heaven the shame of those
poor Irish emigrant girls, whose
very innocence renders them an easy
prey, and who have been overcome
in the terrible struggle for exist
ance, on a foreign shore, will fall on
this woman, whose bourgeois virtue
is so boasted and in whose name
their homes were destroyed. Taking
shamrock in her withered hand, she
dares to ask Ireland for soldiers to
protect the eXterminators of their
race"

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inAamed condition of the mucous sur

Future Of Chine

In any resume of the elements that
have contributed to the progress Of
China, it is simply just to allude to
the labors of the missionaries of all
nations and all denominations. Truth
full history must say of them that they
preceded commerce, that their literary
and educational labors have instructed
foreigners as to China and China as
to foreigners, and that their exalted
philanthropy has begot among the
poor and the rich a great measure OF
respect and confidence. While 1t is
proper to give to the imperial mari
time customs. to the ministers and
consuls, and to the great commercial
houses full praise for their labors. we
should not forget gratefully to remem-
Der those unobtrusive, but influential,
agents of progress, whose inspiration
came from holier source than a de-
sire for gain.
The question Of the future of the
missionaries is clear-cut now. and it
lies outside of any consideration as to
the intrinsic value Of their work. 1t
is this: Conceding all the good that
is claimed for missionary work, should
It, in view OF the present condition of
China, be abandoned? That question
Is to be answered. In the beginning
we must recognize the undoubted fact
hat the Catholic powers-the pope.

PRICE OF RAILS.

Cheaper Here than in England or on
the Continent.
The manufacture of steel rails,
which, by the way, are few in number,
are laying particular stress upon the
fact that American railroads are buy
ing rails this year cheaper than any
other country in the world. They
point out that in England the prices
are about SIS higher than the rate de-
cided upon her. They also lay stress
upon the fact that the Continental
roads will pay about Sc more than
what American roads will pay. 1t is
now claimed by the steel companies
that the railroads are satisfied $26 3
ton will be maintained.

ed that such a course would be unfair
to the purchasers who had banked on

he continued, "that the railroads of the
country will place their orders right
along at the rate determined upon. AS
a matter of fact it costs more to
manufacture rails now that it did
some years ago. The trains are heav

A can;Sss of the Offices Of The rail

MONUMENT TO A DOG.
In Memory of Barry, Rescuer of Forty
Parsons.

In Memory of Barry, Rescuer OF Forty
Persons.
Considerable human interest is be-
ing found by the Italian press In the
ceremonies that recently attended the
erection Of a monument on the Noun
Lain Of st. Bernard to the memory OF
h famous deg belonging to the conven.
there. Barry was the dogs name, and
in ten years he saved the lives of for
ty persons who had lost their way on
the glaciers of Mount st. Bernard.
What is considered his most remark
able achievement was performed about
three years ago, when he found child
ten years old lying in the snow unde,
the influence of the fatal slumber
which precedes death. Barry, with
curious comprehension of the needs of
the situation, first warmed the child
with his breath, and then aroused it
from sleep by licking its face. This
much accomplished, Barry, by lying
down by it's side, gave the child an
obvious invitation to get on and ride.
The child did SO and was carried by
Barry to the convent. This episode.
like his other achievements, is rec
orded at the convent, and to the truth
of it's circumstances several witnesses
have subscribed. The death of the
dog was due to the timidity or ras-
cality of some unknown man who per-
haps fancied that Barry was APP
preaching him with evil intent. The
stranger killed the dog. by hitting it
on the head. These two events in the
career of the useful animal are COM
memorated on the monument, which
represents in has relief the St. Ber7
nard carrying child on its back.

the Lives of Forty Persons and Was
Killed by the Forty first. New York

Aroused Her Sympathy.

Here is an amusing story apropos
Of the German autumn maneuvers:
A little old woman, living in an out
of-the-way place in the Harz noun
tains and knowing nothing of soldier
ing and militarism, happened to pass
an outpost early one morning. On his
epauaette she read the number of his
company-T. At dusk she passed the
place again, and again the number on
the soldiers shoulder was n. Imag-
lining that soldiers, like convicts, go
individually by numbers, she hobbled
to her cottage at her best speed and
presently came back with a wooden
chair, which she placed beside the
young warrior, saying: There now,
you can sit down a bit, you poor
creature. 1t is inhuman to let you
stand on the self-same spot all day
long. Your business can be done sit
ting just as we'll as standing. I'll
come for my chair later on" Before
the sentry could explain she had
slipped away.-Westminster Budget.

REMARKABLE FEATS WITH A RIFLE

ent positions. one OF these being with
the back to the target.
Il attribute their wonderful sue
cess to naturally true eyes and steady
hands. They seemed to handle the
rife by instinct. / scarcely had to tell
them how to hold it; it seemed to fall
as easily and naturally into the cor
rect position as If they had been
shooting for years.
AS soon as they had achieved pro-
ficiency with the rifle, and had adj
vanced so far as to be able to hit the
target ten times out of ten, each of
the girls became ambitious to use a
shotgun.
MY shotgun is so heavy that it was
as much as either Ethel or Edith
could do to shoulder it, and yet, in
several trials, they did very well, av-
eraging only about six misses out Of
every twenty-five shots. l am having
shotguns adapted to their size especi-
ally made for them and expect some
