the original cause. Mrs. Danghson lives
on farm just south of the city and
Mrs. Seiglin has frequently Travelled
that way to arouse the temper of her
neighbor by various means, the most
effectual being the claim that she (Mrs.
Seiglin) could take Mrs. Daugson's

Mrs. Seiglin says her revolver refused

A library is very valuable in

library is of incalcuable benefit TO
the citizens of a town. OF course
there are cheap editions of nearly
all of the older works and many
of the new. But they do not offer
the inducement for reading or
study that a public library would,
where magazines and periodicals

furnished in a reading room, and
where books can be obtained for

Dreyfus' own Story.

A powerful chapter from one Of
the most remarkable of recorded
human experiences, appears in
McClure's Magazine for May
Capt. Albert Dreyfus' own story
of his arrest, degradation and
transportation to Devils Isle. To
this story is added a portion of the
diary kept by Dreyfus on the is
land, for his wife and referred to
so often and SO mysteriously in
the Rennes trial, but never made
public.
A more intense and convincing
expression Of human agony than
found in these fragments is incon-
ceivable. From first to last it is
evident that the sufferer is bewil-
dered and maddened by what has
befallen him, and that all which
keeps him from insanity or death
is his determination to prove that
his prosecutions are powerless to
overthrow what he calls the
sovereignty Of the soul.' These
dramatic passages make it clear,
too, that Dyreyfus was compelled
to undergo on DEVILS Isle every
ignominy and hardship his iailors
could devise, even to close confne
ment in q hut, inclosed by pail
sades and shut out from air and
lights with double irons upon his
legs throughout the night.
The book from which this re-
markable document is taken, con-
tanning the story Of Dreyfus' en-
tire FIVE years of suffering and inn
prisoDment. is to be published by

CUBA'S POSITION

The Cuban Constitutional Com,
mittee has just arrived in Wash
ington. Gen. Rafael Portuondo
one of the Committee, defined Gu
ba's position as follows:
"Ninety-nine per cent Of the
Cuban people desire absolute in
dependence. 1t is their wish thai
the military occupation by the
United States come to an end al
once.
ssIt may be said that small ele-
ment of Spaniards, from purely

not over 10000, would favor .
Constitution, but the wish for in
dependence is felt generally by
many Cubans aud Spaniards alike,
Those Spaniards who favor the
Constitution are not impelled by
any love for the United States.
They hate Americans, but they
seem to wish some sort of guaran
ty as to their property and bust
ness interests.
"Peace with the Americans
without the independence of Cuba

peace.
81 do not mean to say that in
the event that independence is not
granted war or revolution would
follow, but that there would be no
sympathy, nofriendliness between
the peoples. We should not de-
sire free trade with the United
States ii the independence of our
country were established. We
should require revenues to sup
port our government; and we
would find 1t necessary to raise
them by customs duties. What
we would wish would be a spe-
cially devised system of tariff

and to the mutual advantage of
both countries.

oHuRcH GOING PEOPLE.

By the grace of an Infinite Wis
dom Union City has enjoyed many
seasons of prosperity in the past,
and there are in evidences that
Fortunatus is still smiling around
US.
In view of this it is worthy OF
thought that a great deal of time
has been devoted to the Christian
religion and the churches, and
that there has been almost uni
yersal membership Of the people
attending divine worship and the
various services of the seets to
which they belong.
While it is not sensible nor
right 10 oppose healthful sports
and harmless amusements, it is
well known that this is a town Of
conferences, presbyteries, conven-
tions and associations rather than a
resort for tournaments and social
fetes, and that races, gambling
halls, and prize fights find no abid-
ing place within its domains.
There is also a wonderful una.
nimity of feeling and cooperation
between the churches, some occa-
sional differences to the contrary
possibly, which are not significant,
and when there are any special
meetings held interest and atten-
dance become general.
There are nearly twenty church
societies here, white and colored,
comprising Methodist, Presbyte-
rian, Cumberland Presbyterian,
Christian, Baptist, Catholic, Epis-
copalian, Sweedenborgian, Holt
ness, Christian Alliance, etc. ard
about fifteen church edifces in
which services are held. On Sun
day mornings there are no viola
tions Of law in respect to the
opening or business houses, and
people are seen passing inevery di-
rection, vending their way to
Sunday-school and church.
1t is a fine commentary upon
the moral standing and intelli-
gence of the community, and we
trust that-these elements will still
grow and expand, and Union City
will retain her place as one Of the
first church cities in the country.
