MINORITY REPORTS
THREE ON THE CUBAN RECI- 1 PRoCITY MEASURE.
Democrats of the Ways and Means
 Committee Seem More Badly at Sea on the Question Than Are the Republicans.

Washington. April 5.-Three separate minority reports on the Cuban reciprocity bill were filed today by Representatives Robertson of Louisiana, Newlands of Ne vada and Cooper of Texas, all Democrats.
 MT. Robertson says in part:
 The bill, If enacted into law. would afford no relief to the Cuban treasury. l believe that the benefits would go into the thousands of acres of land. The 20 per cent. reduction would not go to the relief of the Cuban people but would go tmmedi- ate1y and entirely to fill the already overfowing coffers of the sugar refiners of the United States. known by the name of the sugar trust"
 MT. Robertson expressed astonishment that one of his Democratic associates, MT. Mcclellan, in his report. refers to the doctrine of reciprocity"
 MT. Robertson adds:
 Tt seems to me that that kind Of rec iprocity is absolutely impossible under a Democratic tariff. Should the tarin ever principles of tre Democratic Party. reel procity would be entirely unnecessary and impossible, as the rates would not be prohibitive and the extension or our trade would as a natural consequence HOW from the imposition of such tarir rates without the necessity of reciprocity. The bill is highly iIr the interest Of the trust, grants no relief to Cuba nor to the peo- pie or the UnlLeQ StdttSp <NtoidtSS thN 1ei damental principles of weak and de- pendent republic, which is attempting to follow the dictates of this country and must of necessity become involved in in ternational entangaements with many inn portant nations and it might involve us in order to protect Cuba, in serious inter- national complications"
 Mir. Newlands makes an elaborate pre- sentation for the reviewing of political and commercial phases. In conclusion he
 .sThe people are becoming tired of sem timentai legislation in America. We have spetn $500, 10000 in a war to free Cuba. we have spent over $500 900. 900 in attempt ing to carry civilization ts the Philip pines. It is now proposed that we inau- gurate legislation for the purpose Of di- verting to the Cuban planters in order to relieve threatening economic distress, a very large amount of money. am opposed to the Legislation unless we give Cuba clearly to understand that if she wishes commercial union with this country and conditions of commerce not enjoyed by other independent nations. she must seek political union with the United States in the form of annexation as a part Of the republic. A. presses general opposition to the Repub- lican plan.

erless to help himself and afraid to drop.
 Up went the balloon. The people shout ed from below, beckoned franticaly to Condon to bring the big bag back to earth, fearful for the life of the dangling lad. All unconscious of the boys pres ence, Condon continued evolutions on the trapeze, believing the tumult below to be applause for his daring.
 Tho balloon had ascended over a thous- and feet before Condon caughtsa glimpse of the lad -clinging for life to the fraiI rope and utterly without support other than his own strength. Then realizing would mean death to the lad, he schenied to get him on the traDeze beside him. ,
 The boy was swinging from a rope on the other side of the balloon as the wind swayed it and Condon found it impossible to reach him. The only hope was to make the lad hold on until the hot afr bag became sufficiently cooled to descend. Condon cried to the lad: begged him to hold tight;. cursed, pleaded, threatened. knowing it useless. At an elevation of nearly 2,000 feet fhe youngsters strength gave way and He dropped. The fall was witnessed by the thousands in the park.
 The little body fell on the doorstep of a house less than mile from the park. On the doorstep was an invalid mother and her married daughter who had watch ed the flight of the balloon. The mother the daughter was sent to a hospital, in- sane. There. her child was born, few weeks later. On seeing the lad fall, Con don pulled the cord which cut the para chute loose. He came down safely, but was picked up unconscious as result of his fright.
 When he recovered, weeks after, he was not right mentally. His business went to ruin and he took to drink He disap- peared within a year and friends failed to find him. It was learned he tried to en- list for the Cuba war, but was refused. What he has done fin the meantime or how he has lived Is best explained by his appearance as he reached Denver.
 Stoop-shouldered, unkempt. with a beard covering his face, he shambled to the Union Hotel. The porter put him out, and he sought a, resting place in a nearby saloon, where he promptly went to sleep in a chair.
 Where have I heen?" he uueried with unbalanced. why, I have been every- where. I'm bum, just 8 common bum. I went up in a balloon once and it was my finish. I'd go up again if there were no kids hanging to 1t and l could drop out.
 Tell you about it2 No. that's dead: sos the kid. Awful thing 1t was. My first time up and my last till l go up to die myself" Then Condon the wreck of the former man, grew silent.
 Do your friends in Oakland know where you are?' was asked.
 Friends? l haven't any since I went up, I had 'em once. but they've forgotten all about me and I want to forget about them. I don't want to see any one know"
 Where are you going tonight?''
 Hit the beam, I guess. I don't know where to- Anywhere will do. Good bye"

THE WILL OF RHODES.
OTHER TOPICS ARE FORGOTTEN IN LONDON.
Lord Rosebery and Other Distin- guished Men Named as Directors.
 The Total Value of The
 Estate Under f5, 900, 900.

London. April a-The war in South Ali. rlca, politics and every topic usually of interest, were forgotten today in the ab- sorbins discussion of Cecil Rhodes's will the Associated Press has ascertainel some new facts.
 The total of Mir. Rhodess fortune is likely to prove to be f5,000,000, or slightly under that amount.
 The executors are Lord Rosebery, Earl Gray, Lord Milner. Alfred Beitr Dr. Jameson, l.. l.. Micel1 and B. A. Hawks Icy. to whom he bequeathed the residue of his estate. They will divide about e1,00o,- VU or &2,000,000 among them. According to the terms of this legacy the amount is to be divided during their ifftime. but as each legatee dies, his snare goes to d common fund until the surviving legatee becomes it's sole owner Hence. one of the executors, the majority or whom are already enormously wealthy, Will one day inherit what will then have probably accumulated into nearly Gc,000,.
 The executors, the Associated Press learns, have unusually full powers. and can .construe and add to the will as seems mt. Hence, the omission of British Co., lumbia, Nova Scotia and other Canedian provinces from the list of scholarships Is quite likely to be corrected and each province of Canada may be put on the same footing as the American States.
 One of Mir. Rhodess most intimate as. SociAteS Sdld to repTeSeHtaliV0 or the Associated Press: He drew up his will in the same spirit in which he approached all great un- dertakings. In his most important tasks he merely scheduled the outlines and left us to fill in the details. His trustees are given plenary power. In the matter of the scholarships, MT. Rhodes simply endeav- Ored to meet the legal requirements, and tried to leave the fulfillment of his plans to those with whom during his life he had frequently discussed them.
 Regarding the American bequests. the same authority said: Tn offering Amer jeans and Germans inducements to 90 to Oxford, MT. Rhodes had a dual aim. First. putting the youth of England In intimate touch with what he called the two most progressive nations of the world, = that they might be broadened and spurred to more strenuous efforts: secondly. bringing the best specimens of Americans and Germans on such terms with the English people and customs. that they might become missionaries of better international understanding"
 When all preliminary details are settled several pro:ninent Americans will. be re- quested to form committee to act in conjunction with the English body and assume certain responsibilities for which the executors are palpably unfitted. both by absence from the United States and ignorance of its customs.

Babies and Monkeys.
Pearsou's


 A frequent action with babies is to turn the soles of the feet sideways, opposite to one another. while the legs remain straight. Just this attitude would be as- stunned by monkey when climbing 8 tree or walking on branch in order to grasp the stem with it's hind hands,
 The inherited effects of thus grasping tree trunks or limbs with the hind hands are often very marked in young babies The bow logs, which are a feature of in fancy and matter of some anxiety to mothers, are no more than the relics of the tree-chmbing stage. And the mother need not be frightened about this char acter-any normally healthy baby will grow out of 1t soon enough Then, if young baby be held so that it's feet touch the ground. one may see that the feet are not put flat to the sur face; instead, the outer portions of the feet rest on the ground, while the soles of the feet are more or less opposed to one another-they have the bough- grasp. ing attitude. ~.

The First London Theatre.

$.
 The first playhouse to be built in Eng land was the Theatre. It was erected in the year 1576. and it's builder was James Burbage. father of the famous actor. Richard Burbage, and himself an actor of some repute. Access to the Theatre seems in old times to have been over Finsbury fields The Curtain, which, curioisly, is named from the region or old manor on which the playhouse was erected and not from the familiar drapery of the stage, was situated south of HolyweH Lane, in Moorsf1eld (nodern Gloucester Street, and is first mentioned in the following year, 15T. Shakespeares Romeo and Ju- liet'' was among the many plays first acted there. The Theatre was moved away to the Bankside and the old ma terials were employed in building the Globe. Shakespeare's chief theatre, in 1898. The Curtain continued to be used as a playhouse far into the reign of King James. No picture of either of these original theatres has been handed down. And owing to their position with out the walls none of the old maps rep- resents their precise location.
