pledge to give the Cubans independence.
There may be some delay. but in the
end the Cubans will accept the condi-
tons imposed by congress. We will
maintain coaling stations on the island
and will guide the Cubans in their ca
reer as nation. That is, we will super
wise their foreign relations and see to it
that they do not contract debts which
they car not pay. II permitted to do
this the Cubans would soon involve us
In difficulties with foreign powers. A
European nation 10 which Cuba became
indebted would swoop down upon the
island when 1t was found that Cuba
could not pay its debts. Then We should
have to interfere, as such action on the
part of the foreign power would be a
violation of the Monroe doctrine
We will, of course, give Cuba it's
freedom After the people have houn-
dered along for awhile and have
learned they do not possess the ability
to govern themselves they will request
the United States to annex Cuba There
is a great deal of talk in Cuba about
absolute independence. This comes
from the non property owning class
and the more substantial inhabitants
would regret to see the United States
Withdraw from the island.'

CARRIE AT LEAvENwoRTH.

Ready for the Fair Apifafor.


Leavenworth, Kan, March 25.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the saloon smasher, ar
rived here yesterday and a day of ex-
element resulted 1t is alleged that she
was induced to come by Representations
made ny local democrats who. it is
claimed, calculated that if she should
smash a few joints 1t would ALLEVIATE the
German vote from the republican ticket
in the pending municipal campaign.
She was to all appearances Ignorant Of
their designs and openly declared she
had come on a mission from the Lord.
Her first attempt was TO smash the
canteen at the soldiers home, two
miles south of the city. Governor Row
land received her courteously, but as
soon as he eivined her purpose ne or
dered her off the grounds and she was
escorted outside the limits by the home
police
Mrs Nation tried in vain to secure a
hallin town. She was finally reduced 10
addressing crowd in an open lot. All
day crowds surrounded the National
hotel, which has been run upon the
wide open principle for twenty years
by Jesus Mella, whose reputation as a
boniface extends turnout the western
country. Mrs. Nation prayed with him
and sang him songs and presented him
with copy of the Carrie Nation
Hymn" She so worked upon the feel
ings of the impressionable Italian that
he ordered his bar closed and ii was
reported that he had armed himself
with a hatchet and was attempting to
persuade Mrs. Nation to go forth with
him and smash.
This report was discredited by the
fact that the bar was soon running
again and it is said Jesus not only
prevented the famius crusader from
smashing any of his fixtures, but
cleared about $1,000 upon the days
transactions with the thirsty throng.
The last seen OF Jesus was when he
boarded the trolley car which carried
Mrs. Nation to Kansas City, wearing a
Home Defender button.
Col d. r. Anthony, editor Of the
Leavenworth Times. who understood
that Mrs Nation had been brought
over by his enemies to smash saloon
in his building. spent the day writing
bulletins OF the most stirring character
which he posted in all his windows, to
the vast delectatiop OF his fellow
townsmen. He also borrowed a 3-inch
hose, which he attached to hydrant
and announced to all passers-by that he
was prepared to give the fair foe Of
whisky all the water she could use.

A Disappointed Diplomat.

An interesting story is told in Wash
ington regarding NJ. Patenotre, the
French ambassador. After congress
passed the law empowering the presi-
dent TO send ambassadors to such coun-
tries as would raise the rank of their
representatives,, Sir Julian Pauncefote
was the first to inform the president of
the intention of his country to make
him an ambassador. NJ. Patenotre con-
ceived the ambition to be the dean of
the ambassadors and communicated it
to his home government, and his COM
mission arrived before Sir Julian's. He
went to the state department in the
hope of immediate recognition as the
first ambassador to this country. He was
told that Sir Julian had anticipated him
by informing the department. of the ac-
tion of his government. He was angry,
and wrote TO the president requesting
his intervention. He received instead a
chilly letter from Mr.. Gresham.

AN OPAL CANNOT BE LOST.

Apparent Verihcation of n Virtue Claimed
For the Alleged UnIucky Gem.
A wealthy broker of West Philadel-
phia had u rather singular experience
the other day. He and his family have
had in their possession for a number of
years some very handsome opals, but
the superstition which was formerly en-
tertained concerning the stone being I'M
lucky prevented him making use of the
gems. Last year he took a trip TO Eu-
rope. While in London he met at the
house of mutual friend dealer in
precious stones, who had just come from
Gracias Dios, in Honduras, and had
brought back some fine gems.
Instead of putting any faith in the
popular superstition this gentleman be-
lieved in the opal very thoroughly and
attributed to it virtues which no other
gem possessed. Among the things which
he said about it was that the opal was
attached to its owner by invisible cords
and that it was impossible to loss it,
though it might be mislaid. The Phila-
delphia broker ON his return to Phila-
delphia chose the finest opal in his col
lection, had it set in a ring, surrounded
by small diamonds, and at Christmas
presented lt TO his wife. 1t was truly a
beauty, and she wore it with conscious
pride.
One day on returning from a days
outing she received quite shock-the
opal was gone. Search proved vain. No
trace of the stone could she discover.
Not only on account of its value, but
because she knew how highly her hus-
band priced the stone, she hated to in
form him Of her loss. At last she felt
obliged to do SO, when, greatly to her
establishment, he drew from his vest
pocket tiny package and presented it
to her. Upon opening it what was her
delight when she recognized her lost
opal
More astonishing still, her husband
affirmed that while he was walking
down Chestnut street day or two be-
fore he felt something under the sole Of
his shoe, which upon investigation
proved to be the opal which he had last
seen shimmerinR uDon his wife's finger.

ops party were accompanied by Mrs.
e. a. Hemborg, wife of the pastor of
the church. Bishop Won Scheele was
attired in his official robes ana based
his sermon on Matthew tx 1925.
The visiting party lunched at the
home of Rev. Hemborg and in the
evening the bishop spoke on THE Re-
formation" at Augustana college
chapel before a large audience.
The bishop showed that the imme-
date causes that led up to the Re
formation were not whims of Martin
Luther, but it was the result of evils
existing at that time The speaker
also pointed out how the Lutheran
church differed from the Reformed
church and how both differed from
the Catholic church. The tendency
to misinterpret liberty as license
was shown to exist since the French
revolution, and as exemplifying this
fact the assassination of President
Mckinley was cited, and in this con-
nection an eloquent tribute was paid
American institutions.
