THE ISLAND OF SORROW"

Mr.. T. A. Cosgriff. president of the
First National bank Of Cheyenne, has
Just returned from a delightful trip to
Cuba. He was accompanied by Miss
Cosgriff. his sister, and both enjoyed it
to the fullest extent. Mr.. Cosgrif was
%agreeably surprised at what he saw in
Cuba. Many Of the business people Of
Havana are bright. intelligent and pro-
gressive. Their city is clean, orderly
and safe. One need not be afraid to go
home from a theater with a lady late
at night, being just as free from assault
or insult as in any Wyoming town.
The people Of Cuba feel very grateful
to the United States and pay high
tribute to the magnanlmity that
prompted Uncle Sam to wrest their
country from Spanish rule. Some mis-
takes were made. they say, but they
were not of an important nature and
could not have been foreseen. They
feel that with the experience gained
in Cuba and the wider experience in
the Philippines, the United States will
soon be able to take hold Of all kinds
Of colonizing propositions with a mas
ter hand.
Mr.. Cosgriff says the most striking
things that came to his attention was
the courtesy and urbanity Of the peo-
pie. On the narrow sidewalks, in the
narrow streets, they are polite and de-
ferential to an unusual degree.
Prices generally are quite as high
as in the United States. At the best
hotels the charge is i've or six dollars
per day for fare that q citizen of the
United States thinks almost intoler-
able. Meats are high and of indifer-
ent quality. but fish and fruits are
reasonable and excellent Public con-
veyances are numerous. good and ex-
reptionally reasonable. For instance,
. cab for two may be had for IA cents.
The country is developing rapidly
and lots Of Americans are taking ad.
vantage of the opportunities offered.
Mr.. Cosgrin believes. however. that
the opportunities for making money
are quite Al plentiful and prom

come an independent State, but does

HE B0Bs UP AGAIN
CONGRESSMAN REEoER OF KAN
SAS TRYING TO REPEAL THE
PUBLIC LAND LAWS.
Introduces Bill Amending National ir-
rigation Act ard Virtually Repeal
ing Desert Land Aet-Scheme
Neatly Blocked BY Congressman
MondeIl. Who is Against Repeal.

Washington. March 2i.-Although
from the house committee on public
lands hat there should be no consid-
GRAFTON this season OF a measure to
repeal the public lane laws, the ques.
ton is trying to bob up. Congressman
Reeder of Kansas. an advocate of re-
peal, introduced a bill amending the
national irrigation act and virtually
repeating the desert land act and the
communication clause of the home
stead act. This he had referred to the
committee on irrigation, Of which he
is a member. and the majority of men,
bers of which are in favor of repeal.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Mondell the reference of the bill was
changed, and it went to the public
lands committee, there to be put care
fully in a pigeonhole.
Congressman Reeder is on the war
path. He Ose in the house yesterday
and said he wanted tn be given time
to discuss the matter. He refused to
take the five minutes offered him.
Again today he ATTEMPTED to bring the
matter up, but failed. Congressman
Mondell is both chairman of the If
rigation committee and a member of
the house lands committee. He is
against the repeal of the land laws and
therefore siding against the committee
of which he is chairman.

THE NEED OF WEDDING REFORM

One Of the things that this country
needs Is a society for the prevention of
cruelty to brides and b~ridegrooms.
People cannot get married without
risking their lives. At Franklin. Mass,
the other day Mr.. Dana Cochrane was
Joined In the holy bonds of ms.rimony
to Miss Edna Hatch without having
taken the precaution 20 don a suit o,
armor or have himself surrounded by
a Gordon OF police.
Both Mr.. Cochrane and Miss Hatch
being popular young people" their
friends assembled in large numbers
to see that they got n satisfactory
start on the way to evrlasting happi-
ness. There were fortunately no css-
ualties at the home of the bride, where
the ceremony was performed. none of
the old shoes that were thrown at the
blissful couple taking effect.
But 1t must not be supposed that the
in getting into their carriage without
sustaining injuries are out of danger.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cochrane he'd boarded
the train on which they ere to go
away for a few weeks and had Just
sat down and begun to try to look un
concerned when a crowd of their low,
ing friends entered the car to exhibit
their good will. During the mix-ur
one of the bridegroom's we'll wishers
hit him OF the head with a bag Of rice,
knocking him senseless and causing
the bride to faint. The train was held
for fifteen minutes. but the unlucky
man being still insensible at the end
of hat time the wedding journey had
to be given up, and the glad young
to the home of his father-in-law. where,
when the latest bulletin was issued, he
was doing as well as could be eA-
pected.
This case and many others of Il sim
liar nature would seem to indicate that
n wedding reform movement is one of
the great needs OF the day. If friends
of the bride and groom must be invited
to the performance they should be
handcuffed at the doors. and it would
perhaps be well to have them cloro.
formed n few minutes before train
time. With such precautions it might
be possible to make marriage compare
lively free from danger and in some
cases ever pleasant,-Record-H Herald

AN OFFICIAL GAZETTE
PLAN ON FOOT TO ESTABLISH
ONE AT WASHINGTON FOR
BENEFIT OF DEPARTMENTS.
Plan Would Involve No Additional Elk
pense, and New Publication Would
Take Place of Number Of Scrap
Ply" Publications Now Issued by
Different Bureaus.

Washington, March ga PROPOSE
OF a successful outcome, to establish
an official gazette in which shall be
chronicled daily the doings of the de-
partments. There are at present quite
Il number of daily publications issued
by the government in addition to the
"scrappy" and lack anything like uni
formity. The state department. for
instance, publishes a daily bulletin OF
extracts from consular reports. The
treasury issues a bulletin daily of ma
tional banks to be organized and Ia
business, and several of the bureaus of
that department publications contain
ing information as to receipts and dis
bursements, the national banknotes
recorded for redemption, the daily cash
balance held by the treasurer and SIM
liar news. The postofice department
puts out a regular daily bulletin of
postmasters appointed and commits
stoned. changes in the star route SER
vice. establishment of rural free deliv-
cry routes, appointment of rural free
delivery letter carriers and other items
of similar import.
Now it Is proposed that instead Of
a score Of publications emanating from
the various executive branches of the
federal service there shall be one Off
cial department gazette which shall
contain all the information, and
in addition thereto the names of all
persons appointed to or discharged
from the public service, the award of
contracts. and in fact everything of a
public character done in the depart
ments from day to day.
Each office. If the plan is carried out,
will be required to send to the editor
Of the Gazette such items as are to be
made public, and the editor will simply
arrange them for the printer who will
issue the publication each morning,
just as the Congressional Record is is
sued today. The plan would involve
no additional expense whatever. On
the contrary, there would be a decided
saving. as instead of a score Of publ
cations there would be but one, and
that prepared by a competent man.
