Defeated Candidate for President of
Cuba Against Plunging the
Country Into War.
AV Ol DI NC REBELLION

HAVANA. Sept. 2s.-As has been in
dicated Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez has
formally withdrawn as a candidate for
President of Cuba and Palma now has
the field to himself.
The action of Gomez while not unex-
expected has caused consterna ton In
the Liberal camp and may result in
the dissolution of the party.
Liberals Disgruntled.
Some of the Liberal leaders are dis
cussing the advisability of placing an
other candidate in the field. but It IS
hardly prohab BILE that anything OF the
sort will be done.
Gomez in announcing his withdrawal
says:
There would be another road oDen
such as is used by all the nations of
the world in similar circumstances-that
is, rebellion. But Cubas is a special
case, for the result of a rebellion would
be foreign intervention. Sayi. who was
brave enough to rebel against the Span
ish government, was a hundred times
as strong as Palma. | will not accept
the responsibility OF plunging my coun-
try into war
The prevailing opinion here now is
that there will be no further opposition
TO the reelection of President Palma
and while sporadic cases of riotins may
be looked for on the part of the disap-
pointed and disgruntled Liberals. the
country will settle down TO its usual
condition of peacefulness.

Additional Circulation.

Among the many remedies suggested,
none appeals to me as strongly as the
authorization of additional national
bank circulation. This method involves
the right of national banks to increase
their circulation in any amount, per-
haps equal TO 80 per cent of their out
standing volume Of Government bonds.

should pay tax of ; or per cent dur
ing the time it IS maintained, and the
Government, in consideration OF this
tax should guarantee its redemption
Il indorsed this plan not long ago in
the second largest city OF this nation

bankers to the effect that they would
not issue currency under ordinary cir
cunstances, If taxed at per cent
This confirmed my belief that the
proposition was wise. 1t certainly would
not result in imitation Though the right
to issue additional circulation was

No Secrets Can Get Out.

The sphinx Of Dartmouth College
has already completed its lodgehouse,
which was turned over to the present
delegation last week, says the Boston
Globe. The structure Is built entirely
Of cement In the shape of a pyramid
base, and is erected on solid rock. The
site Is on East Wheelock street. be-
tween the grounds Of old Culver Hall
and the Alpha Delta Pi house, and
overlooks the alumni oval and the hill
beyond. The structure Is about Is feet
long and 40 feet in width, with a
height Of 80 feet. At the base the
wall is more than a yard In thickness,
tapering at the top to about a foot.
A moldlng Of cement extends around
the edge of the building and along
the top. On each side Of the entrance
Is a massive corinthian column. hand
somely carved, and over the heavy
oaken door is an Egyptian scarab with
outspread wings.
The appearance Of the building, with
its solemn air, and Its foundation on
the crest Of a huge bowlder, Is intense

The Confession.

Bobby and Anna were playing
school. 1--WE ought to have some big
ger books" said Bobby, because 1 am
| in the fourth grade now" Just at that
moment they thought of something.
Anna was sure that Bobby thought Of
1t first, and Bobby knew afterward
that it was Anna who pointed at mann
mas new book, lying near the reading
lamp.
Let's" said Anna.
II can lift it, said Bobby.
They carried the book to the couch
and spread it open. For long time
they turned the leaves very carefully,
Anna had said, and that made them
feel little guilty. II guess we ought
to put it away" said Bobby, at last.
They each tried to be first in this noble
task, and the consequence was the
book slipped from their hands.
Crash! Bobby tried to save the fall,
and caught but one leaf. This tore
away and was left in his hand, and the
book fell to the floor
Anna picked it up and laid it on the
table; then she took the leaf from Bob
by and placed 1t inside the cover.
ut does not look as If leaf were
gone" she said, looking at the book
They went out into the garden and sat
down. They We're sure the house was
very lonely without mother, and they
wished she would come.
you ought to know what to do"
said Anna, at last you buy your
own necktles sometimes, and you took
care of the furnace that day papa was
gone"
well, you ought to know what to
do: You know mother better than
do-girls always do"
But supper time came, and they
were still undecided. When mother
came they did not run to meet her as
usual, and they We're very quiet all
the evening. When it was time to go
to bed they did not ask to sit I'D a
minute longer.
They had been tucked away some
time when Bobby heard little noise
in the hall. He was out of bed at
once, and there he found Anna already
on the stairs.
Lets put on our bed-socks-'cause
we might want to stay down and talk
with mamma long time" said Bobby.
"All right" said Anna. IL know just
what to do now, don't you? l knew
just as soon as the dark came" she
added.
Yes | knew when mother turned
away to put out the light" said Bobby.
~ felt just as though l must tell
And then he took her hand and they
went down the stairs together

MISS ANTHONY's GOOD HEALTH
she Ascribes 1t to Her Having Been
Always OcCupied

She Ascribes 1t to Her Having Been
Always Occupied.
Miss Susan b. Anthony. although
over 80 years of age, has much of the
vlgor of youth, and scorns all pamper-
ing. Her figure is not that Of the typi-
cal spinster, but is plump. The medi-
cal certificate on file with the COM
pany III which Miss Anthony is in
sured states that she is ) feet 5 inches
IN height, with a full figure, her weight
being 1876 pounds.
Recently, when she and her sister
Miss Mary Anthony. were dining out,
says the New York Times, one of the
hostesses' family dropped Il cushion in
the back of her chair us they sat down
to the table what is that for!' she
asked rather sharply. but before her
somewhat discounted friend could re-
ply, Miss Anthony's sister said. very
significantly, "Gracious, Susan never
lops,' and the cushion was promptly
removed
The only important illness of her
life was in 1895, when she was 10.
She tainted on the platform in the
course of a long lecture tour, and re-
NAMED at home for month after
ward In bed, but at the end Of the
month she got up, saying it was the
first real rest she had ever had in her
life
Unlike many reformers Of her time,
Miss Anthony has always worn COR
sets, and for years they have been
French corsets. She always either
drinks tea or coffee at every meal,
and she takes three full meals per
diem, and the tea biscuits made by
herself, are famous.
Two rules to which Miss Anthony
has adhered throughout her long life
have been to sleep with window in
her room wide open, no matter what
the weather is, and the other is to
take cold sponge bath on rising, and
this bath she has never missed al
though when on lecture tours she has
often been compelled to break ice in
her water pitcher to do it.
For year, in the sos, Miss An

the costume was comfortable she said
In q letter to a friend that she found
1t mental crucifiXon and mental sav-
cry for she could never forget herself
in it, and her audiences were always
| critical of it.
Miss Anthony, despite the boomer
| alteration. has always been fond Of
pretty clothes, but allows herself only
one new gown annually. She never
| wears furs or fannels, as the touch Of
either is disagreeable to her. Her silk
petticoats are marvels Of rufiles. but
she never piles on many wraps or
much clothing, even in the coolest
! weather. She says that idle machn-
cry rusts and is worn out sooner than
the machinery kept in motion, but
with the mechanism we'll oiled. and
ascribes her health to her having been
always occupied

Making Crystals.

Dissolve ordinary soda in a glass Of
water, putting In as much soda as the
water will take up. Then tie a COM
mon bean to string and let it hang
in the water so that 1t will be entirely
submerged. The best way to do this is
to tie the other end Of the string to a
piece of wire or something similar that
can be laid across the top Of the tum-
bier.
Before long curious thing will hap
pen to the bean. 1t begins to cover
itself with tiny spines, until at last it
looks like tiny porcupine.
The explanation is simple The bean
is very porus and soaks up lot Of
water, but the soda in the water can
not enter the bean and stays outside.
A funny thing can be shown by
hanging some object that Is not porous
alongside Of the bean, such as a piece
of glass. Long after the bean has dis
appeared under its accumulation Of
soda crystals the bit of glass will re-
main tire same as 1t was.
