ARE NOT AFTER THE OFFICERS.
Gov. Magoon Is Satisfied of the Sin
cerity of Cuban Liberals.

Havana, Oct. 1T have thus far
seen TO reason whatever to believe
that the Liberal leaders are other
than sincere in their declarations
that they are not seeking Office" said
Gov. Magoon in an interview last
evening. He added that the represent
atoms made yesterday and previously
by Liberals concerning offices all re
ferred to local posts. There had been
many complaints regarding mayors
and requests that these officials be
busted on account of misdoings. The
complaints, however, had been simply
presented to the governor for investi-
cation.
The distribution of American troops
throughout the island is proceeding
gradually.
Laud United States.
The Liberals last night held the
greatest political meeting ever wit
messed in Cuba. EX-Mayor O'Farrill
presided. He was assisted by Jose
Miguel Gomez, Alfredo Zayas and
Senior CastellanoS.
The tenor of the speeches was that
what the American government had
done in Cuba had no parallel in the
world. Cuba should in every way fol-
low the. example Of the United States
and thus reach q position of independ-
ence and prosperity, so that in the
course of time, except for the differ
ence in language and government,
Cuba and the United States would be
one. Juan Gualberto Gomez made an
appeal for a peaceful and united re
public and the burying of all factional
differences.

SCRAP OF PAPER STOPS FIGHT
$6o,ooo,ooo WILL CASE DRAMATIC
ALLY INTERRUPTED IN PHIL
ADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE fight be
tween two women over the distribu-
ton of the $6O,0OO,OOO estate of the
late William Weightman, the chemist,
was abruptly halted yesterday by the
production of a small piece Of note
paper which had turned yellow with
age. What the piece of paper con
tains was not made public, ard the
few persons who have seen it have
pledged themselves never to reveal its
contents. The halt in the proceedings
was made at the suggestion of counsel
for Mrs. Jones Wister, who is acting
as guardian for her daughter Martha,
the contestant.
Contests the Will.
William Weightman in 1884 made
Will leaving his vast estate equally be-
tween Anne M. Wightman Walker, his
daughter, and two sons, William anG
John. Ten years later he made new
will leaving his entire estate to the
daughter, the two sons having died,
leaving eight children. The widow OF
William Weightman, the mother of
five children, married Jones Wister,
and when Mr.. Wightman, her father
in-law, died she contested the will on
behalf Of her minor daughter Martha,
on the ground that Mr.. Weightman
left codicil, in which he provided for
the grandchildren. Mrs. Walker de-
MED that her father had made cod
.icil.

FRENCH CRGANDIES IN FAVOR
FOR GIRLS GRADUATION GOWNS
Skirts Should Be Long Enough Not to Be Awk-
ward-SleeveS Are Short

Although the majority Of schools and
colleges do not hold their commence
ment exercises until the middle or end
Of June. it is by now high time that
the mode and material for the girl S
graduation gown be selected. Too much
time and thought cannot be given to
this dress, for a young girl naturally
wishes 10 look her best and il means
so much to her to realize that her gown
IS pretty and becoming. even II not Of
the most expensive and elaborate kind.
More than in any other form il IS pos
sible to get good results from a simple
white frock. BY following attenuvely a
few Of Dame Fashions rules an ex-
tremely pretty dress can be had for
surprisingly little.
Fortunately it is not thought in good
taste 70 have too handsome or elabor-
ate a model for the graduation dress,
and. indeed. il has been proven over
and over again that the simpler gowns
are the most effective. Good lines, a
becoming length of the skirt. the full
ness Of the sleeve placed so as to give
the best width across the shoulders. the
collar and yoke just the correct height
and fit; it is these little things that
count far more than real lace.
French 0Igandie in Favor.
French organdie seems to meet with
marked favor this year. The material OF
itself stands out so well and shows up 70
such advantage under even the simplest
lace trimming that T. Is fast becoming
more popular than silk null or the

quires so many flOuuces and underpetti-
coats 10 attain the necessary style. Silk

been employed for the graduation dress
and all white Is an unwritten law for
commencement day.
Frequently a girls first long skirt is on
her graduation gown, and the average
glri would delight in having this train
as Iohg as Will be the train Of her bridal
gown later on. At the same time a long

Short Sleeves Popular.
Short sleeves are worn on all hand
some gowns and the graduation dress
does not escape the mandate II a col

this year, but transparent. The square
or round Dutch neck, is still I'm vogue,
but as has been seen lately on so many
wedding gowns. is not particularly
pretty unless jewel dog collar is worn

ton with commencement dress.
Either satin or taffeta ribbon is appro-
pirate. If satin it should be double
faced and of soft quality, as liberty
satin. Taffeta and chiffon taffeta are
equally in demand; taffeta is, perhaps,
used more than satin with a white mesh
material as IL makes less contrast The
girdle should be from two TO four inches
in width and long sash ends help to
trim and break the monotony of the long
of white. The sash should be
nearly as long as the train, tackled here
and there to the material and caught in
various loops and knots. Many gowns
are made princess, and while trimmed
in some way with ribbon, the sash has
to be abandoned.

Defends the Pardoninu Board.

1t is a great pleasure to know that
Florida, whose sunshine and flowers
reflect the sublime work of a great
and merciful Creator, has a chief ex-
ecutive with an official family COM
prised of such Christ-life men, How
anyone can object in this age to
pardOning criminals upon the condi-
lions named in your paper of the
10th inst, | cannot conceive. No man
is fit for judicial or executive office
who lacks a merciful feeling for
their fellow beings, and shows it by
giving them a chance to redeem them
selves when opportunity and cOndi-
tons warrant. We who kick at condi-
tional pardons, what will be our plea
when We stand before the final judg-
ment seat, and ask for an uncondi-
tiOnal one. The answer may be the
kindness and mercy you have shown
others will not be shown yoOu. | very
much fear that if a small minority
of those who cry down the pardoning
board for showing clemency had that
pound of flesh they so persistently de,
manded, they might soon be suing
for judicial and executive clemency
themselves. Let us leave those to
do the merciless condemning who
can afford to be governed by their
own standard.
Kindness and mercy never made
mankind worse nor never will.
Our prison life should be more of
reform than of eternal torment
1t is right and just that We should
pay the penalty for transgressing the
law, and Christ-like to pardon the
deserving conditioned that they sin
no more.

ed by an enlightened and intelligent
people. May the day never come

FACTS AND FIGURES
REGARDING STANDARD OIL
Chas. D. Thompson Shows the Com
pany Benefit to Mankind.

A tree is known by its fruits The
nysterical writing found in Northern
papers and magazines concerning the
greatest corporation the world has
ever seen gets a thoroughly truthful
return blow from Chas. d. Thomp-
son in the New York Times. He says
in part: ITO one posted in the grow
tn and development of this corpora
ton there is no grievance. When the
writer first went into the oil business
thirty-five years ago the Standard Oil
company was then series of individ-
ual oil companies, each one competing
with the other. Kerosene oil, or H.
Eliminating oil, the principal oil of in
terest to the working man, cost from
40 to 40 cents per gallon by the bar
rel. By the accumulation of wealth
and application of brains, this much
maligned Standard Oil company today
supplies to the laboring man all
through the country this same product
for Is cents per gallon. The cotton
mills of New England at the same
period paid the Denver Oil company,
of Boston, from 90 to 20 cents per gal
Ion for their lubricating oil. This
great and cruel monopoly today is
supplying them the same thing for
from II to IA cents. For cylinder oil
these same men paid from 60 cents
to 81 per gallon; the same article is
sold to them by the Standard Oil
company for half that price. With
this view of the case, where is the
grievance that the public can have
against this trust? Frankly, there is
no industrial corporation or trust to-
day that has done so much toward
lowering the price of commodity to
the consumer than the Standard Oil
company. The coal trust, the beef
trust and the legion of other trusts
were all originated for the sole pur-
pose of enhancing the cost of their
products to the consumer
The writer further expresses the
opinion that should the corporation be
dissolved by the courts within the one
year all petroleum products will
cost the consumer 100 per cent. more
than he is now paying.

CROSSING A BRIDGE BEFORE
GETTING TO 1T.

Bishop Harris, of Toxic, is visiting
the United States or Methodist mis-
sion business and says:
There is no danger of such Japa-
nese immigration as will embarrass
the United States. In the last two
years about $500 Japanese have come
to California and are distributed all
over the coast. Competition in labor
arises mainly from the fact that the
Japanese like to do piece work and
will bid for jobs in the raisin-picking
and other fruit-gathering districts. In
this way the Japanese will often I'M
derbid the American laborers, but the
condition does not obtain to any
alarming extent in the California dis
trict, where there is a fullgrown la
Dor famine all the year.
Commenting upon which the Ian
caster, (Pa.,) Examiner says:
The fact seems to be general
throughout the west that native Ia
Dor acts the dog in the manger play

handle its grape crop. AS it is, one
fourth of her orange crop and the
fruit of her vineyards is let to rot,
while idlers and lot sprouters pro-
claim against foreign laborer. 1t is
all an absurdity. The way to prevent
foreign immigration. is for the lazy
agitatorS to go to work. Turn the
slums of our cities into the vineyards,
dispense the loafing American on the
sand lots and induce him to pick or
anges, and there will be no need to
import labor In every place in the
land there is lack of farm help, and
yet if Lancaster county farmer even

How One Railroad Official Talks.

Thos. Byrnes, first vice-president of
the New Haven railroad, spoke in
part to the New Haven chamber of
commerce recently of the roads pol
icy. He said:
Il can think of no way to impress
upon you what is being done by our
company than by comparing the cost
of Yale with the work the railroad is
doing. The cost of the improve
ments in New Haven and here and
New York will amount to more than
the cost of Yale from its foundation.
You are proud of old Yale, but should
you not also be pround of the other
institution, the largest business en-
terprise in New England, whose, re-
ceipts this year will exceed 100000
600, thus making it fifth among the
great railroad systems of the coun-
try?
mo doubt much of the present
feeling of hostility to railroads is the
result of years of indifference on the
part of officials and employees toward
the needs and rights of the public,
but taken as a whole the American
railroad employee is a hard working,
painstaking, honest man. | realize
that there are certain alleged re-
formers in the land who make a liv-
ing by asserting that corporate of
ficials cannot be trusted. l regret to
say they seem to take more pleasure
in finding one official a sinner than
in discovering ninety and nine who are
honest.
| speak with some knowledge when
l say you are to have adequate trans
portation facilities at reasonable
rates, not as a favor but as a right.
The question we ask is not how much
will the traffic stand, but how little
We can take and make both ends
meet"

DIPLOMATIC DINGDONG.

Now Bellamy and Theodore
Shake off the usual letters,
That bind the diplomatic pens
And go to writing letters.
They swat each other good and hard,
Like pugilistic batters,
And blaze the diplomatic trail
With rather personal matters.
A lady takes a hand as we'll
Indeed, she did begin it.
Since Eden has there been a scrap
Without a woman in it?
But Bellamy and Theodore
Are in the forefront fighting
And as they cannot use their fists
They take it out in writing.
Good reading, too, they make of it,
The President and Storer;
And while the latter merely squeals,
Hank to the Roosevelt roarer,
oh, Bellamy, why did you choose
A course so darned cratic?
You've proved to all, if need there were
That you were not diplomatic.
You've got him going, Bellamy,
And he will not diminish
His speed, therefore you might as we'll
Prepare to meet your finish.

The ORIGINAL Porous Plaster

It's Allcock's, first introduced to
the people sixty years ago, and to-
day undoubtedly has the largest ex-

annually throughout the whole civil

been one to even compare with ALL
cOck's-the worlds standard external
remedy.
For weak back, cold on the chest
or any local pain, the result of taking
cold or Overstrain, there is nothing
we know of to compare with this
famous plaster. X
