A congressional speech invites Cuba

1t has been suggested by New York
paper that a primer of slang be COM
piled for the aid of those who wish to
join but are ignorant of the phrases of

Ninety-nine people were killed in
three wrecks within the limits of last
week. An enthusiastically small pro-
portion of the eighty million people IN
the United States, came from one side

ing a rise, he was gambling, and that if

Perry Heath. secretary of the nation
al republican committee, quotes Pres
ident Mckinley as saying Just a
few days before he was shot:

Marcus Hanna, the next president of
the United States. believe ne viii be
nominated and elected" Hanna IS be
hind Heath, and the BristOw charges Of
misconduct against Heath when he was
first assistant postmaster general, have
