French Coal Pit 1880 Feet Deep.

The deepest coal pit in France is
the Arthur De Buyer, of the Ron
champ group of collieries, in the
Haute-Saone. The shaft has only just
been completed. Its depth is 1,13o
yards, diameter 10 feet, and it has
taken five years to finish. The venti-
lation, which is effected by several
huge electric fans, is said to be very
satisfactory. The coal has been
struck exactly at the point calculated
by NJ. Pousigne, the mining engineer.

 street. Several changes along the
 shore were noted, principally the West 1 Wharf having been rebuilt and the channel dredged out sufficient for the
 safe entrance of sailing vessels of fair
 size. This was indeed a welcome sight
 to again see vessels loading and dis
 charging cargoes, and the hauling of timber to this dock for shipment re-
 minded me of my younger days, when
 it was no unusual sight to see several
 vessels at this wharf at the same time.
 Near the West Wharf cottages have
 been erected during the past winter by 1 w. s. Hill for a Mr. Richardson of Hartford, Mir Humiston of New York,
 and for R. F.. Clapp of Northampton, Mass Captain J. G. Crossley has

 consisting of a cottage and building lot

 nues, to Miss V. F. Brainard of New Haven; the Mildrum property near this corner to William Hilman of Mt Yer

A visit to the golf grounds finds the several acres added last fall properly laid down and il gcod condition; in fact the links have the appearance of anxiously wait ing for the game to commence. The | Gulford Water Company, whose water mains were placed through the main | streets of the town last year, have promised to have their water on the | shore by June 15, and many of the cot i, taee owners are expecting to make con- nectlons at once. We learn that J. M. Hull, real estate dealer, has rented "Glendune' and Wadsworth cottages owned by William H. Glenny of Buff fnlo. to C, r. Bruns of New York city; the "Newtoll'' to 1' M Austin of Brook lyn, N. Y. tte Neptune to M. R O'Loughlir. N. l.. Goes cottage to Will liam Green, "Ingleside" to J F.

It is estimated that there are about two hundred cottages on this beach; of this number about if ty are rented each season, the others being occupied by the owners. Of the fifty only six or eight are unrented at the present time On our way to the station we stopped at the E. c. Scran- ton Memorial Library, where it was learned that several hundred volumes have been added during the past win ter, among them complete sets of the well known and best authors.

The administration has the power to
protect your rights If it would. For the
disfrsnc hisement Of any Alne1ic an citi-
zen because Of color is forbidden by the
constitution Of the United States It can
subsidize great ship companies and send
monsfrous battle ships to various part
OF the world to protecs the interests o
some Of our millionaire corporations
but 1t cannot see that mil ions of on

We Socialists have reason to believe

We contend that slavery has never

The CUBANS PLEASED.
Gratified With Their Mission to
Neutrality-suspicious. indepond.
ence In February.

New York, April 30.-"Even annex
alton might be acceptable to Cuba,
if it came after independence" said
DR.. Rafael M. Portuondo, one Of the
members of the delegation from the
Cuban national convention to Wash
ington. For so years she has longed
and fought and bled for independence.
That once attained she would agree
to any fair demands the United States
would make"
Gratihed with the outcome Of their
mission, the delegates who have been
in conference with President McKin-
ley and Secretary of War Root ar
rived in New York. In the party are
General Portuondo, General P. Ban
court, DR.. Pedro Gonzales Llorente
DR.. DiegJ Tamapo and DR.. ID. MendeZ
Capote, the president of the conven-
tion.
General Portuondo was eloquent In
his expressions of satisfaction with
the result Of the mission to Washing
ton. "T,lcre was q misunderstand-
ing" he said. land now, for us at
least, 1t has all been cleared. The
trouble was with the Platt amend
ment. Many of the Cubans suspected
1t. They did not know what 1t
meant. They doubted the motive
that lay behind 1t. Not that they
thought it might be unfair to Cuba
only. but to the United States. The
explanation given to US at Washing
ton is plain and dispels our doubts.
None Of us can now question the hon
esty or impugn the fairmindedness Of
the senate. To be sure. there are
terms about the amendment which
cannot be adopted, but think a great
deal has been accomplished"
Asked low long 1t would take to
establish Cuban government. Gen.
eral Portsond0 replied: mot less
than 10 months. There must be con-
ventions and elections before the
electoral council which chooses a
president Is selected. That will all
take time. and / think we shall feel
satisfied II our government is set In
motion by Feb. "a Of next year. That,
you know, is our Fourth Of July, the
anniversary Of our rise against Spain.
Our electoral body will be made up
equally of representatives from the
professional men. the wealthy citl-
zens and provincial assemblies. The
president must be q native Cuban or
one who has fought 10 years for Gu
ban independence. A senator must
be q native, but representative may
be Q native or q naturalized citizen"

Reading over an article in the News.
Democrat of March 16. written by John
Danner we find that he received let
ter from Mr.. Hartell of Smithville
wayne County Ohio, in which the lat
ter says. REV. Hare. of Canton. spoke
here in two Churches, saying to the
people they should stay in their old
parties" What is Rev Hare, politi-
cal topper? Goes to one County
where it is Democratic. and talks dem
ocracy; another, where it is Republi-
can. and talks republicanism. telling
them to stay in their old Parties.
We notice also, an article in the
ws-Democrat, of March 25th, from a
staff correspondent at Columbus. Ohio,
in which he refers to an interview
with Rev. p. A. Baker, that their po.
litical party would endeavor to defeat
Mr.. Wilhelm and Mr.. Pollock and that
Canton is their political headquarters
for the Counties of Stark, Columbiana,
jefferson, Carroll, Harrison. Wayne,
Tuscarawas, Holmes and Coshocton.
1t also says these Politicians have an
easy way of raising money through the
collection of funds in various Prote-
slant Churches. Omit be, that the
House of God has become a Den of
Money Changers?" Did Christ intend
that the pulpit should be used for
preachinh politics? And If He was to
appear on earth again, would He min
gle with such People as these politi-
clans we speak of? No! He would
associate with the Fisherman as he
did at his first coming, and sleep in the
stable in Bethlehem, WIN the Ok and

pany.

rupted by politics and the home circle

We hope that the Republicans OF
Ohio will at once proceed to tell these
Stark county saloonists Where do we
stand at this age" and also to drive
