FIGHT ON LOTTERY.
President Palma Declares He viii
Exercise Veto Power.

Havana, Nov. 9.-The first serious
conflict between President Palma and
the Cuban congress will come on the
proposed national lottery bill. The
advocates of the scheme are working up
sentiment in its favor, under the pre-
text that if it shall be passed it will
provide all needed revenues for the
payment of the claims of the veterans
Of the war for the independence of
Cuba.
In view of the failure of the loan
commissioners who recently visited the
United States to float the bond Issue,
the arguments OF the lottery advocates
are having much more weight than
would otherwise he the case. In this
connection the attitude of President
Palma is very interesting. He declares
that he will veto any lottery bill that
may be passed, and he has steadfastly
declined to change his views despite
the strong pressure put upon him by
those having the war claims in charge.
That his resolution will he tested seems
an assured fact, as the bill is assured of
passage. The outcome of the affair is
awaited with great interest by Cubans
of every class

The Chance of q Prisoner.

l entered my Office one morning to
find a very worn and travelled stained
wanderer awaiting me. He had been
crook ever since he had been old
enough to gain his living, and having
had no home influence except that
which was evil, he followed the wrong
path faithfully to his own ruin. He
had never done honest work in his
life. With no trade, no character, no
references, no friends. and with a
criminal past stamped on his face
when his money was gone after he had
been discharged from prison-the out
look was most dscouraging. Just at
of fate and ran him in, not because he
had committed any crime but to pre-
vent him from doing so.
That night when the door of his cell
Of his failure swept over him. "Pris-
on, prison, Is it always and forever to
be PRISON." he groaned, and throwing
himself on his knees. for the first time
in his life, he prayed. The next day In
court, some one unknown to him said
q good word on his behalf and he was
discharged. He walked from Boston
to New York and when l heard the
story very simply told in his rough
way he said: Now, Little Mother,
will you give me chance? Is there
any hope for meT' Very gladly did we
bid him welcome.
When he left us 1t was hard work
he undertook When the first pay day
came he called at my office, coming In
straight from work in toil-stained
clothing and his hands bearing the
marks Of toll which mean so much to
US. As rose to greet him he clasped
my fingers in his two strong hands and
with tears filling his eyes he said
Little Mother, just came to thank
you. 1 can't tell you what the Home
has done for me, but want my COM
rades to know l am really grateful
And then he drew from his pocket a
Little roll Of bills and pressing it In my

The Water Used in Coffee.

'To boil water Is the simplest thing
in the world" said the steward at one
of the local leading hotels, but how
to boil it is quite another thing. | be
lleve we have the name of having the
best coffee Of any hotel in this city
OF course, we use good coffee. but LET
me tell you much Of the praise Is due
to the fact that the water with which
to make the coffee has been properly
boiled. The secret iii boiling water is
just this: Always use fresh water and
let the kettle be warm bOfJre the cold
sparkling fluid is put into 1t. The fire
should be quick, so that the water
will boil at once, and the water should
be removed from the fire the instant
the boiling point is reached ana poured
upon the coffee or tea or whatever bev-
erage is in demand Immediately. Sc
many people make the mistake of per
hitting the kettle to remain over the
fire, where the water steams and sim
mers away, wasting the good water in
vapor Those who drink hot water be-
fore breakfast, as many do. should III
sist on the use Of fresh water and hav.
ing 1t served as soon as boiled. Doctors
say, however, that to kill germs in sus-
picious water boiling should last about
five minutes"

ACCUSED OF DECEIT.
Northern Pacific Prefers Charges
Against Powers Attorney.

Against Powers Attorney.
New York, Nov. GA petition has
been laid before the appellate Division
of the supreme court by the bar associ-
alton, accusing Attorney George Fred
Lamb OF this city, who represented Pc
ter Power in his suit to prevent the
merger of the Great Northern and Nor
theru Pacific railroads, of fraud, deceit,
malpractice and gross unprofessional
conduct. Proceedings were begun to
disbar him.
The Northern Pacific railroad brought
the charges originally before the bar as
ISOLATION last January.
The accusations against LIMB are
that he had used Peter Power as a
dummy plaintiff in the Northern Sc
cnrities case; that the lawyer tried to
prevent Power from obeying an order
of the United States court, and that he
declraed under oalq that he held in his
own possession 100 shares of stock
which Power claimed to own, but which
really belonged to Camille Weidenfeld,
a stock broker, who has been suspended
from the exchange in connection with
the suit.
When the charges we're originally
made Lamb refused to answer them,
denying that he was guilty of any
wrong, and saying that if the dignity
of the federal court had been offended
as charged that court alone could take
Official notice of the matter.

PROJECT APPROVED.
PIa" for Improvement ef Upper CO.
Iumbia River Is Adopted.

Wash ington, Nov. Acting Secre-
tary OF War Oliver has approved the
plan submitted by the special board OF
army engineers for the improvement of
the upper Columbia river between The
Dalles and Cello. AT the same tine
the hitherto secret contents of the
boards report were made known.
The plan submitted by the board and
approved by Acting Secretary Oliver
provides for the construction OF ship
canal eight and one-half miles long
from Big Eddy to the head of Cello
falls. The canal is to he sixty-two feet
wide at the bottom and eight feet in
depth, 80 as to accommodate ships
drawing seven feet. The plan calls
for four locks, the first al the upper en-
trance, with lit o. seventeen feet; the
second at Five Mile rapids, with a lift
of seven feet, and tandem lock at the
lower entrance, with a lift of sixty-sev.
en- feet. The locks will accommodate
ships having maximum length of $50
feet.
The estimated cost of the canal and
locks is $4, l25 900.
The last river and hsrbor act author
lied the war department to proceed
with the improvement of this part Of
the river according to the Harris pro-
ject. provided the special board to be
appointed should not devise less ex-
pensive plan. The estimated cost of
the Hart project was few dollars less
than 81 coo, 900, but the present boar !
finds that the work could not be per
formed for that sum, and that in fact,
the present project would cost the gov
eminent less. The acting secretary OF
war therefore gave his approval.
The department already bias 81 ,0O0,-
900 or more Immediately available for
the work. The propoed improvement
will give one of the greatest wheat re-
gions in the Pacific Northwest low rates
OF shipment to the aea.
