Tomorrow is Arbor Day in Ardmorc
As defined by proclamation of Mayor
Dick. All the people with the children
are respectfully asked to interest
themselves and take part in the cere-
monies which will be held at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at the school
buildings in the First, Second and
Third wards. There will be nothing
doing in the Fourth ward, owing TO the
fact that the city does not own the
property. The program as outlined will
be very simple, and will consist in set
ting out a tree at each corner OF the
school grounds in the wards above
mentioned with ceremonies appro.
pirate to the occasion. 1t Is sincerely
hoped that the people living in these
respective wards assemble at their
school tuilding at three o'clock, and
participate i'm the ceremonies.
Later the work of beautifying the
grounds by trees of uniform size will
be attended to by the civic club, who
have made an excellent start towards
the accomplishment of that purpose.

HAVANA, April ia duel took place
to-day the result Of an insulting letter
written against six members OF the House
Of Representatives, one Of whom challenged
the writer The weapons used were
rapiers and the writer was wounded in
the hand,
The six Representatives were those who
went to the Aylmtamiento on Friday and
seized n number Of documents relating to
the recent investigation into municipal
affairs. Senior Sanguily, President OF the
Senate. visited President Palma to-day
and told him that he wished 70 offer his
services 10 avoid friction il possible in
connection with the seizure Of the docu-
ments. He said he understood that the
Liberals were much inCensed. They say
that the Government is proceeding illegally
TO secure the triumph Of President Palma,
and declare that they will defend them
selves IL the Ayuntamiento is thrown down.
Senior Sanguily also pointed out that
the decree OF 1904 held that the Executive
has not power to decide in election cases.
Nevertheless President Palma had sent
documents relating to the elections in Pinar
del Rio TO the House Of Representatives
and had recently obtained them again
from the acting Speaker, who is a Moderate,
while the House was not sitting, and had
settled some interests Of the Moderate
party
President Palma is quoted as saying
that he would obey the law. He also told
a committee representing the Liberal Santa
Clara coalition that he did not intend to
overthrow the Ayuntamiento.
The Moderates held meeting at the pal
ace to-day which was attended by President
Palma.
II has been rimored since Saturday
that a decree suspending the Ayuntamiento
has been prepared. There is much ex-
element over the affair, as the Liberals
have always had an overwhelming ma
jority in Havana, and therefore to put the
Moderates in charge without an election
would be unprecedented.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. April IAN
unknown young Scotchman, accompanied
by James Sharp, Mrs. Sharp and their
fourteen-year-ol son. Lee, created a
sensation here to-day by marching down
Broadway, all naked. When arrested they
were singing and shouting hallelujah.
The Scotchman announced that he was
God. and said it would be futile TO arrest
them. I'm three days said he, we will
be found dead, and then will occur the
resurrection"
Sharp says he was con verted two years
ago when star fell on his farm In Wood
ward county, Okla. When questioned con-
corning his actions to-day, he said:
For two years ! have been preaching
that God would make his appearance in
the flesh and when he appeared knew and
became submissive TO his will. To-day
he told us 20 cast away everything we had,
even to our clothing and follow him. We
perfect peace. We gave away our money.
team and clothing You do not under
stand il now, but will see all clearly in
day or two
When separated from the man they be-
heved 20 be God, Sharp and his family
donned their clothing and said; 1t has
been fulfilled We will not do 90 again.
God will not require it,
Asked IL they did not feel ashamed when
appearing nude on the streets, Sharp and
his wife replied with very positive mega
tive, saying they never experienced such
perfect peace.
