LIVERPOOL AND CHESTER
Are Coming Out of the Water and
Resuming Ordinary Business

Special to the Register.
EAST LIVERPOOL, O., April %
This city and Chester, W. Va, are
slowly recovering from the effects of
the food. Street cars began running
last evening after suspension since
Saturday night. Potteries are working
to-day, though not one was in full OPP
Grafton yesterday. Although there was
a superabundance OF water in most
places, Dnere was a scarcity in the
reservoirs. The pumping station could
not be operated and manufactures US
ing large quantities Of water had their
supply cut off. Things are now resum-
ing their normal condition, but it will
require many days and thousands Of
dollars to repair the damage to the
railroads, factories and telephone and
telegraph lines.
On the South Side, the New Cum
berland branch of the Panhandle was
so buried by landslides that 1t is not
expected that train service can be re-
sumed before Wednesday or Thursday.
West Virginia fruit growers report
thousands of dollars of damage to their
orchards by trees being broken by the
weight of snow which rested on them
Saturday and Sunday. Sheriff Allison,
OF Hancock county, says his damage
was fully $1,000, and he knows of at
least half dozen other orchardists who
suffered equal or greater losses

WANT INDEPENDENCE.

Cubans VIII Never &c Friends of
the United States without Abso-
lutte Freedom.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April %
The Cuban constitutional committee
which arrived here last night from Ha-
vana, left at 1890 a. m. for Washing
ton.
Gen. Rafael Portuondo, one of the
committee, defined Cuba's position as
follows:
Ninety per cent Of the Cuban people
desire absolute independence. 1t is
their wish that military occupation by
the United States come to an end at
once.
1T may be said that a small element
Of Spaniards, from purely CONNER
cial motive, favor annexation, but the
wish for independence is felt by many
Cubans and Spariards alike. Those
Spaniards who favor annexation are
not impelled by any love for the United
States. They hate Americans, but they
seem to wish some sort of guaranty as
to their property and business interests.
Peace with the Americans without
the independence of Cuba is impossible
I mean moral peace.
Il do not mean to say that in the
event independence is not granted, war
CT revolution would follow, but there
would be no sympathy, no friendliness
between the people"

GREENSBORO, N. c., April 23.-One
hundred negroes left this city last
night for the coal mines of West Vir-

hundred miners have been induced to

large number of negroes and the re-
moval from the country districts to the
towns, farm labor in this section is very
scarce. This has caused some farmers
to prepare for only half crop this

Temperance Writes on the
Methods of Reformers
now Here.

Editor Advertiser: While the ex-
citement is on, would it not be in or
der to call attention of all to the
methods of reformers, which are
about as follows:
l. Wait till men and women are at
| least 20 years old and have got a good
| grip on all their bad habits, and their
bad habits good grip on Them. and
! there is about as little hope of chang
| ing their lives as there is of bending
castiron double. The subjects now af-
| ford material for unlimited oratory,
tears and prayers, and opportunity, as
we'll, the differences of opinions as to
what should be done and how it should
| be done.
| 2. The campaign begins and con-
tinues till death removes the reform
ers. There is world of love and
| hate, vast sums of money and no end
| of energy expended; and the results
are very meager.
3. In the meantime another crop OF
subjects, the children. is coming on
under the same conditions that pro-
duced the first crop mentioned But
no matter Let the next crop of re-
| formers take care of the next crop of
unfortunateS. This part of the
| method" insures material for reform
ers to work upon
Isn't it about time to let the men
and women go and see that the chill
dren get started right? It may sound
cruel, inhuman, even to suggest such
course; but it does seem better to
! let these men and women go-get
through with life as soon as possible
ana get it out ef the way. and see to
II uhat there shall not be another such
| crop OF subjects for reformers.
Ihls cannot be done in generation
]
duce better men and women. and the
1 heredity part will wear itself out in
time, II not encouraged too much
There are now many preventers. In
| them lies the hope for mankind.

Wilmington, N. c.. May 17.-Bowden
pitched a magnificent game for Raleigh
this afternoon, but Stewart developed into
a veritable wonder and that's why he lost
the game. Stewart struck out IL men,
while Bowden caught six, such Giants as
Stafford and Crockett. 1t was shut-out
for the Red Birds, but they acquitted
themselves we'll on the lot and got rather
the best of Wilmington in the error
column
The first three innings for both teams
made as fine an exhibition as has been
seen here in a long time, but in the
fourth when Raleigh had been retired,
Wilmington punched hits and sent two
men across the plate. In the fifth with
only one man down and three men on
bases it looked like a score for Raleigh,
but Stewart famed Stanley and Henna-
ger popped out to the infield. In the
seventh inning Sebring made hard run
for first and was called safe. Kelly
kicked wildly and Upchurch fined him
s1O;. he persisted in his kick and would
not leave the umpire. Upchurch changed
the penalty to a seat on the bench for
Kelly after drawing his watch.
Kelly is rather harshly criticised here
for his persistent delay of the game, and
Umpire Upchurch is generally COM
mended. Sutch took his place and cap
tanned the team, allowing no further runs
during the game.

that the only idea with which Mr.. Duke

student might hold to any religious or

believed what he did well enough to toll
crate the belief of others. Mr. Duke
wished to assist in freeing the fettered
thought and spirit of Southern manhood,
and he had given Trinity College more
than $500, 900.
