NO GLOOM AT HOME,

Above all things there should be no
gloom at home. The shadows OF dark
discomfort and fretfulnesS should
never cross the threshold, throwing
their large, black shapes, like funeral
pals, over the happy young spirits
gathered there. If you will, you shall
sit on a throne and be the presiding
household diety. O, faithful wife,
what privileges, what treasures great
er or purer than thine!
And let the husband strive to forget
his cares as he winds around the long
narrow street, and behold the soft
light Illuminating his little parlOr,
spreading it's precious beams on the
red pave before it. He has been har-
raised, perplexed, prosecuted. He has
borne with many a cruel tongue, many
q cold word, and nerved himself up to
an energy SO desperate, that his frame
and spirits are weakened and depreSS-
ed. And now his limbs ache with
WEAKNESS: his temples thrOb with
pain-heat caused by too constant ap-
plication. He scarcely knows how to

or sit down ch%eerfully to their little
meal, which she has provided with sc
much care.
But the door is opened-the over
coat thrown hastily off. A sweet
singing voice falls upon his ear, and
the tones are so soft and glad that
hope, like a winged angel, flies right
into his bosom and neStleS against his
heart.
A home where gloom is baniShed-
presided over by ~ who has learned
to rule her household. Oh! he is thrice
conSOled for all his trials. 1t is i'm
possible be can be unhappy.
That sweetest. best, dearest SOlace
is hiS-a cheerful home. Do you
wonder that a man is strengthened
anew for tOmorrOw'S cares?

Home Circle

The family is the Oldest and most
valuable institution on earth. 1t be-
gins properly with the first offspring.
In reality there is 40 family until the
husband and wife can say to each
other: "Two times one are two and
one to carry makes three" And the
little third party often brings the
husband and wife closer together than
anything else could possibly do.

GOMEZ LIES IN STATE
IN PALACE AT HAVANA
Which He Helped to Wrest From the Spanards
Soldier Of Fortune Who Proved Patriot
to His Adopted Country.

Havana, June 19.-Lying in state in
the palace which the weight of his eff
forts wrested from the Spaniards, the
body of Gen. Maxine Gomez today has
Leen viewed by thousands of those who
loved him, and late tonight the four
streets leading into the Palace square
are simply jammed with loyal Cubans
all waiting for the opportunity TO take
one last look on the white face of the
leader they loved 1t has been a mem
oIsble day for the Cuban people, and
all ranks OF life have done honor to
tho dead soldier and patriot. Gentle
: man and peasant have united their
tears in one grief, and the death Of
Gomez has done much TO wipe out the
bitter political strife that up to Satur-
day threatened to result in bloodshed
throughout the island republic.
II is a sincere grief, too. Even the
men who, when Gomez was alive. were
prone to belittle his efforts for the
"free Cuba" now admit that in his
oeath the land that he loved has lost
its chief historical figure. The bitter
ness of political strife and partisan
hatred has been wiped away by the
ar gel of death, and every one has
united to pay tribute to the virtues OF
the deceased.
The body rests on a magnificent cat
afalque in the center of the main hall
Of the palace At the head and feet oi
the casket are grouped guard oi
honor, made up of men who endured
NE strain OF camp life under the dead
soldier. Two lines Of people. men,
scmell and children. are continually

passing the body, taking advantage oi
the opportunity to bid farewell to the
dead. The heat throughout the day has
been sitting, and tonight it is even
worse, but this has in no way deferred
the crowd, although there have been a
r,,mber of prostrations among the old
er ones in the crowd.
All such have been attended to by an
emergency corps of physicians, who
went on duty last night and will re-
main until the public lying in state is
over.
President Palma, the members of the
diplomatic corps and the officers and
retired officers of the Cuban army
viewed the body Monday and all will
attend the funeral services, which will
be held on Tuesday at in the after
neon.

criminal conspiracy to deprive him of
due process of law"
In letter to Governor Higgins, he
says he may ask the Legislature for an
investigation into the methods of ad-
ministratlon of criminal justice In
ner OF his conviction.
This letter, written in the death
house, marks another spectacular fea-
ture OF the fight by which Patrick has
succeeded in postponing the ultimate
decision OF his fate for over three

wonder, if not the admiration OF the
members of the bar and public at

Patrick is under sentence of cleo

KEYSTONE DEMOCRATS
May Endorse Republican Candidate
For Judge.

Harrisburg, Pa, June ia call was
issued today from state Democratic
headquarters for the state Democratic
committee to meet here on June 28. to
tix date for the reconvening of the
state convention held here ON May "a,
SO that candidate for justice of the
supreme court may be nominated.
About the state capitol 1t is believed
that the majority or the Democratic
leaders are favorable to the indorse-
ment of Judge Stewart. appointed to
the bench on the death of Justice Dean,
as the candidate because of his known
Independent proclivities and record, he
having been the independent Republi-
can candidate for governor when Gov.
Pattison was elected the first time.
They want some assurance from the
Stewart people, however, that support
will be given to w. H. Berry, Demo-
cratic nominee for state treasurer.

FRANCE FEARS GERMAN INVA-
SION.
Chicago, June 19.-The Daily News
Berlin correspondent says:
Frances i'll concealed fear of German
invasion is hourly Strengthening the
kaiser's purpose to press the republic
unless the fatherland's Moroccan de-
mands be fully acknowledged. The
French backdown is thought to be
daily becoming so complete that the
opinion is freely expressed here that
the controversy will end with Germany
entrenched on Moroccan soil.
Prince Won Radolin, the kaiser's am
bassador in Paris, has instructions to
secure French acceptance of the pro-
posed international conference and to
force Rouvier to that end by every
means short of an ultimatum. The
German foreign Office confidently
awaits the acceptance of the confer
ence, not only by France, but also as
a result of French influence, that Of
England as well. France is parleying
for assurance that her entrance into
. ho will entail vital lncc
CT honor. 1t is probable that William
will concede this In order to win Ger
msny's main point.
From an intimate adviser of the
kaiser your correspondent learns that
it was the attitude of the British cabi-
ret that brought France and Germany
to the verge OF war two weeks ago to-
DAY. Lord Lansdowne had advised
France to hold its ground and gave as
surance that if the republic wanted to
fight England would join her. Del
casse then began directing certain me-
racing military movements on the Ger
nan frontier.
Germany responded by significant
preparations at Metz and Strassburg,
end simultaneously informed the
French government that the price of
peace was Delcasse's immediate resig-
nation, and the cessation of his aggres-
slve military plans. Premier Rouvier
thereupon notified England that France
did not want war with Germany and
thanked it for the offer of support. Next
day Delcasse was dismissed from the
cabinet.
