 It is not shade alone that makeslt cooler under tree in summer. The coolness of the tree itself helps, for it's temperature is about 45 degrees, Fahrenheit, at all times. as that of the human body is a fraction more than 9S degrees. So a elump of trees cools the air as piece of ice cools the wa ter in pitcher.

"fhere Is a tendency in all human affairs in government, trade and com merce, to concentration and combi- nation. Meteors go to the sun; small nations are becoming parts of great nations. and Cuba in her present en- vironment, situated as she is, can not be expected to resist this tendency.
 "The effect of the Platt amend ments will be to help bring about am nexation. X nation can not long re- main half free and half dependent; such condition embarresses healthy progress in national life and leaves but little room for the exercise of the genius and intelligence of peo- pie in the affairs of government es- peciallv when under such restrictions as these amendments impose.
 "The question of annexation forces itself to the front and will claim from now on the attention of the people of both countries. Reef procitywth Cuba affords no adequate remedy for what threatens her in terest. A 20-per cent. reduction Tn her tariff and ours will do her as government no good, while 1t will work great harm to the interests of the United States.
 "There was long discussion and fierce opposition to the annexation of Texas-much more, think, | than there will be to the annexation of Cuba, but it came at last as surely as the annexation of Cuba will come. There is not a loyal and true Ameri- can be found within the confines i of the republic who would give up Texas, and within few years after Cuba becomes a state in our union not an American will be found will ing to part with the island
 The resolution was referred to the committee on Cuban affairs.

IHE ANNEXATION OF CUBH.
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, Addresses the Senate On His
 Annexation Resolution.
ITS INTENT HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
It Simply Voices. in Concrete Form. His Judgment that Cuba Ought to He Annexed to the United States, and the Sooner the Better for Both Countries.

Washington, July I'm the sem been disposed of, Mr. Ell<ins, of West Virginia, addressed the senate in sup port of his resolution providing for the annexation by the United States of the island of Cuba. Following is an abstract of his speech:
 Mir. Elllins said that his resolution had been misunderstood. It had no bearing upon Cuban reciprocity, and was not intended to have any. It sim ply voiced in concrete form his iudg- ment that Cuba ought to be annexed to the United States, and the sooner the better for both countries. The resolution did not suggest annexation of Cuba in an offensive way. 1t pro yided that the Cubans must take the initiative, and only after they had asked for annexation could the Unit ed States act.
 For nearly a century, he said, the annexation of Cuba to the United States had been the ambition of American statesmanship. He pointed out that many distinguished and pa triotic statesmen. from Jefferson to Mckinley, had favored annexation and he thought the present wasan op- perfume time to "carry into effect the well-defned wishes of majority of the people of Cuba and the United States in regard to annexation. It is in the interest of both countries FTTl trials and difficulties that beset her on the threshold of her national life, stand in the way of her being long

hANNERIY THE "IDEA MAN.o
He has Been Added To the Publicity Department of the st. Louis
 Worlds Fair.

St, Louis, July l.-An addition to the Worlds fair forces has been an- nounced in the appointment of James j. Hannerty as idea man." He is an acquisition to the publicity depart ment, to which he will hereafter ex- elusiyeiy contribut his ideas. His work for the exposition company be- gan long before his appointment was considered. Posters and other means of advertising the fair have been con tr1buuted by him from time to time to the exposition company for a year or more past. Notable among these IS the star emblem, in which the five points of a star embrace historical scenes. This has been used exten- siveiy by the publicity bureaus. and is perhaps better known than any sim gle device that has yet been adopted for promoting the Worlds fair idea.
 The New York Herald recently de- voted an entire page of it's Sunday magazine to Hannerty posters. and commented favorably on the uniaue publicity plan. During the Columbian exposition Mir. Hannerty was man. ager of "Old Vienna which has been initiated at all the expositions held since. He does not profess to be an artist, and his ideas, drawn by him. self crudely, are evolved under his direction by skilled workmen.
 MT. Hannerty's first contribution to the idea field since he became con neeted with the exposition is a lib- erty bell idea, in which the figure of beautiful woman stands in relief against the bell

an independent nations; while as state in the American union her peo- ple would be prosperous and prog ressive, and enjoy the liberty and all the blessings that would flow from being part of the best, greatest and freest government in the world.
 After annexation the products of Cuba would not come into hurtful competition with those of the United States. Free trade amongst the states has never lowered the price of labor or worked injury to American interests. Wherever our flag floats, the price of labor advances.
 Tt is claimed that annexation would destroy the promising and growing beet sugar industry of the United States. Not so, however. The price of products among the states of the union always seeks an equilib- rum. With proper protection in favor of the cane sugar of Cuba, which she will enjoy as a state. and the beet sugar of the United States, within 15 years the United States would not only produce enough sugar for its own consumption, but largely compete with other countries in the markets of the world.
 'But for the war with Spain, al- though so successful and glorious, Cuba would now be a part of the United States.
 "Fven with the war. had it not been for our declaration that the war was not waged for conquest or az grandisement, known as the Teller amendment. Cuba would to-day be part of the United States. just as Porto Rico and the Philippines are. This amendment has proved both mischevous and unwise.
 ''When Cuba shall become a part of the American union and the isth- milan canal shall be completed, which is now assured Poto Rico, Cuba, Ha- waii and the Philippines will be the outposts of the greatest republic, standing guard over American inter- ests in the track of the worlds com meree in it's triumphal march around the globe.
