PALMA IND HIS CABINET.
Have a Plan to Relieve the Eco-
 homie Situation.

Message Which is Soon to Be Sent to
 Congress Will Call for $3,500,000-
 This Amount to Be Distributed
 Among Sugar Growers and Cattle
 Raiserss
 New York, June 21.-President Pal ma and his cabinet have decided on 3 plan which they hope will relieve the economic situation i'll the country, says Havana dispatch to the Tribune. A message will be sent to congress, prob ably next week, for that body to pass upon which sets forth the recommends tionS of President Palma and the sec retary of agriculture for the ameliora- ton of the condition of affairs. This measure calls for the expenditure of $3, 500,OO0, to be distributed among the sugar growers and cattle raisers. Three millions is to be advanced to sugar planters at the rate of 90 cents an arroba, or twenty-five pounds, to be- returned in two installments in Feb ruary and March. To cattle breeders will be paid premium of s for each COW imported for breeding purposes up to 100000 Further than this, all such
 
 There also is to be an increased tariff on many articles imported now under small duties to raise the money to be distributed. An internal loan, secured by bonds, will be necessary.
 President Palma, In discussing the matter, said:
 We are afraid the United States senate will not act on the reciprocity at this session and Cuba needs imme- diate aid. There are thousands of men idle and the conditions are bad. We must take some steps to save the sugar industry and stimulate the cat tie industry, which we hope to bring back to it's former prosperous condi- tion.
 'sThe loan will be taken up in two years. We have worked day and night in the last month to imprSSe the prevailing conditions. Sugar grow CTS can secure no money from the banks for the coming crop, so that the government is compelled to come to their rescue by loaning to them enough to raise next seasons cane."

SAVED WOMAN'S LIFE.
Attorney Carmody's Presence of Mind
 at New Haven Yesterday.

Attorney Carmody's Presence of Mind
 at New Haven Yesterday.
 Attorney Carmody had just left the superior court room in New Haven yesterday when he was put in the way of saving a woman from serious bod fly harm, and perhaps from losing her life. Two ladies left the court room soon after him. One of them had just been granted a divorce and was nat urally very jubilant over the matter She was talking i'll a very joyous strain with her companion as they walked down the stairs leading to the court room. Attorney Carmody met Attorney c. G. Root and they fell to talking. Suddenly a woman's scream rang out Both lawyers looked up and saw Woman's form bounding down towards them. It was the lady who had been divorced. Her compan- ion had swooned. Attorney Root turned aside, pale. for he expected to see the Woman's Iifeless form on the lobby below every minute. But At torney Carmody sprang up the steps, grasped the Woman's clothing as she was bounding past him and held her. He had saved her life, for the steps are steep and long and there could be no doubt of the result fl the woman had fallen the entire way. Probably i'll the excitement she forgot to thank the young lawyer; however that may be, she turned upon her compan- ion and told her in rather plain lan- guage how the accident could have been avoided

GERMAN CATHOLICS HERE
Annual Convention Opened at
 Concordia Hall To-Day.

The Session Was Given Up to Listen

 mittees-A Reception Will Be Ten
 dered the Visiting Delegates at Con-
 cordia Hall Tonight They Will At
 tend Solemn High Mass at St Ce-

 Morning.
 The fifteenth annual convention of the German Catholic Benevolent socie- ties of Connecticut was called to order this afternoon in-Concordia hall, Bank street, at 1:3O o'clock, by President John J. Siefen of this city. Forty eight. delegates were i'll attendance, representing societies ill New Britain, Bridgeport, Hartford. Meriden, New Haven, Bristol, Torrington, Danbury, Wallingford, Naugatuck and Water bury. The afternoon session was de- voted to reports of committees. The visitors will be given reception to- night in Concordia hall, when it is ex- pected the place will be crowded. At 1O:3O o'clock tomorrow the delegates will attend divine service at St Ce- elias church on Scoyill street, when a solemn mass will be celebrated. At 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the del- egates will hold another session for the purpose of choosing officers and elect ing delegate to the national conyen- ton to be held in Evansville, Ind, from Sunday, September 21, to Friday, Sep tember 26. There will be sacred concert in the hall tomorrow night. The delegates had dinner at He'll mann's hall. Grand street, and they will make their headquarters there during their stay here. Most of the delegates are young men, but young and old as they happened to be, all made very creditable appearance on the public streets. It is big day among the German residents and while they are well able to take care of their friends it is not likely that they will be permitted to do all the entertaining. The Germans are very willing to lend hand to their neigh bors on occasions like this and it is nothing more than natural that oth- CTS will want to show their apprecia- tion of this by doing what they can to make things pleasant for the delegates to the German Catholic convention.

 Laugh Turned on Him,

Judge Gager in the superior court. at. short calendar, yesterday, got of1 the joke of the season upon q we'll known member of the local bar.

RISE OF ANNA ROBINSON

these Norfolk street is perhaps the
most charming. 1t is at No. IL Norfolk
street, Park lane, that Anna Robinson
has her London home. Norfolk street
is not more than two blocks long, and
there are fewer than sixty houses in it.
Several widely known theatrical peo-
pie have made Norfolk street their
home, especially toward the Green
street end, where the tall trees wave in
the direction of the Duke of Westrnin-
sters supplementary Miss Olga Meth
ersole lives at No. s, while at No. 8, in
the house tIlat was occupied by Miss
Kathryn CleInmons before she became
Mrs. Howard Gould, there now lives
Miss Gertrude Kingston, who is as well
known in the world of fashion as she is
among stage folks. While 1t costs a
fortune to live in Park lane, one can
live most comfortably in the adjoining
streets on SIS, goo d year.
No. II is a corner house, and while
it is not by any means pretentious, it is
distinctive for its prettiness both with
in and without. The windows on the
drawing room floor are Yong and mar
row, and open out upon the balcony
that is so popular an addition to Lon
don houses. and which New Workers
are disrespectfully wont to describe as
looking like fire escapes" The fire

the apotheosis of their desire eIimin-
ated many of the selfishnesses of life in
their dream Of getting there"-but
it hasn't proved that, with all the di-
versions they can squeeze out in an
extremity, they have reached the So
luton of prosperous life, by retiring
at graceful age and leaving to their
children or natural successors the
chance to repeat their achievements
There must be exceptions to every
rule, we say, and probably find a prob
lem in the mathematics of the human
constitution which it is hard to solve
The case in point is our old veteran
flnancier, Russell Sage, who at eighty
six is scarcely looking for a summer
vacation, although he gives his clerks
an occasional day off. But then Mr..
Sage has been an abstemious man all
his life, he has practically lived the
life of a peasant in city surroundings,
and with all the money he has controll-
ed and does control, has never sought
that opportunity for pompous display
Of his wealth which disunites the
American from the purposes for which
he was builded.
But what will be the result of the
Russell Sage nillions-where will they
go TO, who will they benefit? Let US
see if the only man who can stand a
strenuous life without phazing can do
the bigger thing of benefiting humanity
as well as benefting himself.

furnished after the Louis Seize style,
the color scheme being a lovely tone of
pale blue with a hint of gray that
blends with the turquoise brightness
and relieves it from a suspicion of hard
brilliancy. In this room is a collection
of dainty bits of odd silver rare speci-
mems of Dresden and Sevres, and a
