three weeks of chrome diarrhea,

Mr. Head was Secretary and

aud came here at once, remaining

HON. LUTHER MANSHIP.
In His Lecture "The Dialects of
The Nations.

Hon. Luther Manship. { Jackson,
Miss, the third lecta vr in the
Group of Stars, made decidedly
favorable impress ON at the Opera
House Thursday night. Mr.. Man
ship is comparatively new to'the
lecture field. 1t was his first visit
to Hopkinsville, but it will not be
his last, and he is assused in ad.
vance of cordial reception when
he comes in the future.
The lecturer was presented to the
audience by Mr.. Meacham and at
once launched into a round of char
acter impersonation, storytelling
and humorous defamation that in
tensely pleased his audience from
start to finish. In his particular
line he is the peer of any man on
the platform. He has the gift Of
pathos to remarkable degree; he
can sing song with charming ef-
feet; he is master of the dialects of
many nationalities; he is especially
strong in the negro dialect, and his
facial expression, coupled with his
powers of anecdote and story-tell-
ing, give him the ability to make
people laugh. For an hour and
forty minutes he played the role OF
an entertainer more than a lectur-
er, and the universal verdict was
that he is one Of the very best mirth-
provokers who has ever visited Hop
kinsville.

SECRETARY ROOT rs BACK.
Reports tn President Satisfactory
Conditions In Cubn--Date of In
dependence Is Indefinite

WASHINGTON, March Secretary
Root this afternoon gave to President Nc
kinley the result of his observation of ar
fairs in Cuba during HIS recent trip to the
Island Subsequently the secretary con-
scented to talk for publication as to existing
conditions in the island and the possibili-
ties Of the people In the direction OF self
government
The secretary expressed himself as sat-
isfed. on the whole. with what he saw.
Naturally the question OF the ultimate in
dependence of the island came UP for dis
cussion. during the secretary's visit to
Cuba, but be was not prepared to say just
when the United States government would
be willing that this should be reality
Incidental to- this matter. which is up
permost In the Cuban minds, are the .orrn-
ative steps that win bring It about. The
first OF these, viz: The holding Of the
municipal elections AT an early date, was
a subject that Secretary Root discussed
freely, particularly with the United States
officials on the island.
These elections with be Cuba's first ef
forts toward popular government. I'm
accustomed as they are 10 these things,
they are as the babe unborn and have
everything to learn. The whole plan for
municipal suffrage has to be carefully
worked out and the people instructed in
all the details. This involves vast amount
of labor and takes considerable time, but
ultimately the plan will be worked out
and the elections held. | hardly believe,
however. that the authorities win be quite
ready for holding the elections by TIE LIST
OF May.
