ELEVATORS BIG DROP.
Lift Falls Five Stories in LouisyilIu
 Building.


 Louisville, March 1S.-The elevator at the Jeffernon County court house here fell five stories at noon today, carrying with it about dozen iron weights which control the machinery and causing the Injury of eight persons. two of whom are thought to be seriously hurt.
 The seriously injured are:
 Mrs. Agnes Wilson, back broken
 Mrs. Ed Simon. head crushed and inc formally injured
 There were fourteen persons in the car at the time the accident occurred and the escape of the rest of the passengers from serious injury was miraculous. The en- tire carload of people boarded the eleva- tor at the top floor and the heavy load caused the car to drop suddenly to the bottom of the shaft.
 As the elevator struck the bottom the force of the compact tore the weights which control the car from their posi- tions and these masses of iron weighing from 70 to 125 pounds each crashed through the top of the car.
 Fortunately a number of the passengers had time to escape from the car before the iron struck and 1t was this fact pre- vented the accident from assuming muchi more serious proportions.

Cuban Treaty Will Be Passed Upon
 Bv the Senate,

Washington. March 1s.-Before adjourn ing at ' o'clock tonight, the Senate en- tered into an unanimous agreement to vote on the Cuban reciprocity treaty at g o'clock tomolkow. The hope of secur- ing vote today was dissipated by the discovery that there were more speeches to be made in opposition to the treaty than had been counted upon. Indeed. 1t was difficult to secure an agreement to vote on the treaty tomorrow and 1t was evident that this result could not have been accomplished but for the anxiety of Senators to secure a final adjournment Of the session.

Papers Mailed on the Celtic Fol
 America.

London, March 1s.-The extradition pa- pers in the case of Whitaker Wright, the director of the London and Globe Fi- nance Corporation, who is under arrest in New York. was mailed on the steamer Celtic, which sailed from Liverpool to- day.
 John Flower. chairman of the share holders committed which instigated wrlght's prosecution, informed a repre- sentative of the Associated Press that by the advice of his lawyers he declined to reply to Wrights cable message to c. s. Barnes, the official liquidator of the cor poration. saying that Wright's enemies seek to create prejudice against him by circulating untruths. taking the ground that 1t would be highly improper for him to say anything which might prejudice the result of the trial. As to the personal chaiges, he added. there was no need for contradiction as they were obvi- ously untrue.

CUBAN TREATY IN DANGER.
If Ratified With Amendment, Nor
 Legislation Must Ensue.

Washington. March 1s.-It is said at the State department that the sharpest kind of work will be required to save the Gu ban treaty from total failure if 1t is rati- fled tomorrow by the Senate with the amendments proposed.
 The slightest amendment will require the convention again to be ratified by the Cuban congress and while there is little doubt that small opposition will be offered there, 1t Is pointed out that the period allowed for the exchange of rati- flcation expires on the 3ist instant. This Is very short space of time in which to complete formalities in Washington and have the treaty acted upon by the Cuban congress.
 If there is any failure on this point a new treaty will have to be drawn or have additional articles in the initial protocol adopted, which would require fresh action of the legislative branches of both gov- ernments and involve as much work as drawing a new treaty.

Disraeli on Love.

The sale Of q batch of letters to Dis
raeli to his sister, written before the
days of his fame, brought to light some
interesting passages in which "Dtzzy,"
as he always was to his sister, was
very candid.
In describing a visit to Wyndham
Lewis's be writes: "By-the-by, would
you like Lady q. for q sister-in-law?
She is very clever, has $500 and is
domestic. AS for love, all my friends
who married for love or beauty either
beat their wives or live apart from
them. This is literally the case. 1
may commit many follies in life, but I
never intend to marry for love, which,
I am sure, is a guarantee of infelicity."
Within four years Disraeli married
Wyndham Lewis's prosperous widow.
In a letter written four years before
he became a Member of Parliament,
Disraeli thus described q debate in
the House Of Commons: ut was one
of the finest We have had in two years.
Bulwer spoke, but is physically dis
qualified, and ip spite of all his exer-
tions can never succeed. I heard Ma
caulay's best speeches and She'll and
Charles Grant. Macaulay was admir-
able, but between ourselves 1 could
floor them all. This is entire nous. l
have never been more confident Of
anything than that could carry every.
thing before Inc in the House. The
time will come."-New York Sun.

Pride vs.. Progress.

without humility religious progress is
impossible. Pride is the destruction of
the principle of progress; it whispers to
us continually that we are all that could
be desired, or it points our attention to
high positions and ambitious efforts be-
yond the scope of other men. Yet the true
growth of the soul is not to be measured
by our attempting many extraordinary
duties, but by cur power Of doing simple
duties well, and humility, when it reigns
in the soul, carries this principe into prac-
tice. It bids US hallow our work, espe-
ciaily whatever may be to US hard or dis.
tasteful work, by doing it as a matter of
principle. It enriches common acts of
neighborly and social kindness with that
intensity of moral effort which is due to
every act of which the deepest moving
power is the love of God.-F. D. Hunting.

Deaths From a Cabbage Worm.

A severe loss of life is reported in the
counties of Northeas. Georgia due to eat
ing cabbage poisoned by strange worm.
Union, Dawson, Forsyth and other coun-
ties have reported score of deaths from
this cause. All occurred after eating cab
bage. A farmer in White County in gath
ering cabbage, discovered a worm about
two inches long and about the size of a
needle. When he touched the leaf the
worm acted like snake. He sent the
worm to the State chemist, who reported
tnat it contained enough poison to kill
fifteen persons. The worm is so small
that it is hard for housewives to hnd It
when preparing cabbages for cooking and
many have been cooked in this way.
