IN DEFENSE OF sAPHo.
Milwaukee Methodist Minister Analyz-
es Her Character,

Milwaukee, Dec. 1T.--Rev. Robert S
odist Episcopal church, in an address
before the ministers association, made
a defense of Sapho, but it will not
gladden. the heart of Olga Nethersole OF
her manager. Sapho, he said, was g
chaste, pure woman, who had been ma
ligned by woman haters, clowns and
groveling people in general.
This point of view from the mouth OF
q clergyman startled his brethren, fol
they had been under the impression
that the Sapho of Lesbos, the Greek
poetess of twenty-five centuries ago,and
the Sapho of Daudets novel was any
thing else. Said Mr.. Ingraham:
"Sapho was at her literary best al
about 600 b. C. She was of aristocratic
family and an ardent nature lover, en-
an1ored of beauty in person, bird and
flower. I love deIcacy,' said she, 'and
for me love has the suns brightness
and beauty In one portion of her
writings She speaks her dfsapproval OF
her brother who married slave who
had bought wealth with her great beau
ty. Referring to her, Sapho says:
Riches without worth Is not harm
less neighbour Sapho, altho a woman
of great beauty herself, married late in
life. Was it because she was hard to
please? Let us look on the noble way
in which she rejects the advances of the
poet, Alcaeus, when he says to her:
"tViolet-crowned sweet, smiling
Sapho, gladly would speak, but shame
holds me back
And Desdamona could not have
flung back more indignant reply than
hers:
Had thy wish been pure and manly,
And no evil on thy tongue.
Shame had not possessed thy eyelids,
From thy lips the right had sprung
1T is true that the name is the only
real resemblance between Daudets
Sapho and the poetess of Lesbos, but
just as no fair minded person who has
taken the trouble to search out the evil
dence in favor of the Sapho of old could
adjudge her other than chaste and love-
1y In character, just so. I am persuad-
ed, that those who looked upon the
character and purpose OF the heroine of
Daudet's novel in a fair minded, we'll
balanced manner, unprecedented by the
shameful portrayal given by Miss Meth
ersole and the playwright, would find
her as pure and fine"

A CURE FOR GROUP.
A MarshaIltown Mother Tells ola Simple
Remedy for This Disease.

hcmeQy TOT MS disease
Editors of the Times Republican:
Last winter while visiting in Ithaca, N.
Y, famous as being the seat of Cornell
University, a friend told me of o medi-
cine that was made there which had
cured her children of the worst attacks
of Group and which, when used in time,
had prevented the disease. Naturally
did not believe it would have any more
effect than the many things had used,
but / resolved to try it, and as my
youngest child is predisposed to Group,
whenever she seemed croupy pinned
to her night robe close under the chin,
en- going to bed,a piece of flannel cloth
dampened with few drops of Hyomei.
This has thus far prevented all attacks
and I feel sure there will be no more
Group in my home.
My sister and her little child We're
visiting me last week and one night
after the little girl had been out of
doors playing in the wind she awakened
the whole house with hoarse, barking
cough and it seemed as tho the poor lit
tie thing would strangle TO death. i'm
1nediately got my bottle Of Hyomei, put
about twenty drops Of it on piece of
flannel and held it close to her face so
that she could breathe it freely. This
broke the spasm almost Immediately
and after adding a little more Hyomei
TO the cloth / pinned it to her night
robe under the chin and she was soon
asleep. I forgot to say that / also
rubbed the front of her chest and neck
with Hyomei Balm. The effect of this
treatment was immediate.
I feel so grateful for my wonderful
relief that / have the most earnest de-
sire to let mothers know Of this pre-
ventive and cure for one of the most
dreaded diseases of childhood. / hope
you will print this letter In a promi-
nent place SO that every mother may
see 1t. Yours very truly,

TRAIN HoLDUP IN WHICH THERE
WAS LITTLE PROFIT.
NO REGISTERED MAIL TAKEN
Express Officials Say Three Dollars
Will Cover the Loss to
the Company.

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 16.-Seven
masked men held up the s%outhbound
Kansas City Southern passenger train
last night. The robbers tagged the
train between Spere and Red Land.
While two Of the sever men covered
the engineer and fireman with revol-
vers the others forced the porter, who
had appeared on the steps of the for
ward coach to uncouple the baggage
a from the rest of the train. John
Block, a travelling salesman from
Fort Smith alighted from the train
and was about to fire upon. one of
the robbers when he was prevented
by Conductor Sullivan, who feared
that the men would fire into the pas
senger coaches. After the baggage
car was uncoupled the engineer was
compelled to pull down the road a dis
lance Of one mile. There the robbers
after disarming the messenger went
through the baggage and mail cars.
Their work finished one of the rob-
bers handed the essenge the re-
volver taken from him and all made
for the timber.
Postofice officials here deny that
any registered mail was taken, and
express officials say that one package
containing three dollars covered their
loss.

NO CRIMINAL Intent SHOWN
THE EXAMINATION OF RATH-
BONE COMPLETED.
Expenses Of Witnesses Taken From
United States Worries Postal
Authorities.

Havana, Jan. 16.-At the trial of
the charges growing out of the Cuban
postoffice frauds, today, the examina-
ton of Estes G. Rathbone, ex-director
general of the postofice of Cuba, was
concluded. Counsel for w. H. Reeves,
ex-dupty auditor for Cuba, requested
the privilege of cross-examining Rath-
bone, which was accorded. The cross
examination will begin tomorrow.
During today's hearing Rathbone
was questioned further relative to the
furnishing of his residence in Ell Ger
70, Havana, from postal funds. He
said he could not have been expected
to furnish his official residence from
private funds, that he had not known
how long he was going to remain in
Cuba, and that General John R.
Brooke. ex-military governor of Cuba,
and General William Ludlow, ex-mil-
itary governor of the city of Havana,
had furnished their official residences
from government funds. Rathbone
said his superiors knew of his *
penditures in this respect and had
rot made objection thereto, and that
these bills were only for moneys
his private account.
Examination of a bill from a New
York department store showed that
so pairs of hose which it was alleged
Rathbone had bought for his private
use, read five feet Of hose. The ex-
ANIMATION of Rathbone did not bring
out any strong points for the govern
ment, the matters touched upon in
volving only small amounts compared
with the large amount of embezzle-
ment alleged, and believed to be out
OF proportion to the sentence asked
for by the fiscal. In most of the in
cidents taken up during Rathbone's
examination, it was only a question of
whether he had been authorized to
make the expenditures in question
and there was lack of evidence show
ing criminal intent.
The matter of expenses of wit
nesses who have been brought here
from the United States to testify in
these cases is now worrying the post
Office officials. The clerk of a New
York hotel, n of the witnesses, who
vas brought here to show that Rath-
bone had lived extravagantly while
at his hotel, has put in a bill to the
government of $40 a day for expenses
While extras charged bring the total
for two weeks to about $1,000.

Terms Which Hong Kong Junta Are
Willing That General Lukban
May Accept.

Manila, Jan. 16.-General Chaffee
will leave Manila for the Island of Sa-
mar next Saturday. He will thorough
ly investigate the situation there, as
it is desired to stamp out Samar insur-
rection during the dry season.
A captured communication from the
Filipion insurgent junta at Hong Kong
addressed to General Lubban, insur-
gent leader IN Samar Island, author
ICES Lukban to surrender if he wishes
to do so, but does not advocate this
action. If Lukban s%urrenders the let
ter goes on to say, he need not de-
liver a single Filipino soldier or Of
ficer to the Americans, nor must he,
Iukban, or any other officer be forced
to accept a civil appointment. They
may emigrate if allowed to do so, but
no Filipinos must be obliged to take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States. Under these terms the Hong
Kong junta has no objections to LUX
ban surrendering.
