Marshal Butcher picked up a
wandering weary Willie" yes
terday afternoon, who was fill
ing up on wet goods and flasl :
ing a revolver. Hewas deemed
rather a menace to society in
general and consequently given
a berth in the hospitable city
Jail for the night. A revolver,
a long handled knife, soap, salt,
letters and most everything
imaginable were found on him.
From papers and letters, his
name is Herman Rehfeldt and
his home in New York. From
the tone of the letters found on
him, one would imagine him a
"real estate prince" in disguise,
but the most of the real estate
is perhaps on his body.

1t is almost pitiable to think
of the inglorious death of Gen
eral i5andera Of Cuba, who was
formerly a valiant leader in the
Cuban war for liberty. He was
killed by rural guards the other
day for leading and melting
revolutionists and his death
was made the event of rejoic-
ing by the government party.
1t is hard to understand the
makeup of these southern
men, but it is very sure that
they are not to be relied upon.
The Cuban government has not
yet called upon the United
States for assistance, and if
they should it is a question
whether it would be az corded
them, but it is almost a shame
to allow them to cut each others
throats just in a spirit of rival
ry. There people were making
excellent progress in govern
ment matters but now it will
take some time to reach the
place of safety.
The mere fact, however, that
revolutionary bands have been
gathered and put in motion by
malcontent chiefs and disap-
pointed local politicians involves
danger under the conditions
exist in Cuba, and there
must remain in Cuba, until its
people are confirmed in the
habit of wise self-government,
the possibility of trouble that
would require American inter-
vention.
The president has issued a
proclamation with regard to
the earthquake in Chill and
we wonder if the people of the
United States will be as gener-
ous toward them as other ma
lions were with us during our
late calamity in San Francisco.
The loss there is estimated at
20O,O0O,O0O and that is an aw-
full loss for the little republic
of the south whose resources
are rather limited; however,
there is no doubt the necessary
funds will be forthcoming in
some way.

In yesterdays Sioux City
Journal there was a cartoon
representing the capture of a
potshot hunter by an officer Of
the law, and below is what the
artist had to say of his picture:
"Mr. G. Hog Potshot, who has
been arrested for violating the
game laws, closely resembles
the man who is wanted by the
police in several places on the
charge Of stealing candy from
babies. A number Of his pals
are still at large.''
That is about the best des-
cription we have heard of a
would be sportsman who is in
the habit of taking advantage
of the game laws and we are
glad the Sioux City man print
ed this picture.

Some New Fiction.

There is talent in Grace Keon's Not a
Judgment" (Benziger Brothers), and IL
it we're not for an excess of moral purpose
it might have made an excellent story.
The heroine is attra ctive and drawn with
care there are bits Of tenement house life
that are admirable and promising touches of
humor at times. The authors earnestnees
of purpose, however, leads her 10 appeal
directly to the reader and occasionally in
terrupting the story, which is bad art.
This is the more provoking because she
succeeds in portraying good people natur-
ally without making them offensive. The
book is written in a strong Catholic spirit.
Something ingenious that attracts will
be found in Mr.. William Marabel's The
Heart Of a Rose (The Klebold Press. as
in his earlier book. Plot, characters and
conversation, however. are conventional
in the extreme, and much of the humor is
pretty name, though an occasional child's
saying Is bright.
A queer hodgepodge Of geology, pa
leontology and modern sentiment will be
found in L. P. Gratacap's "A Woman Of the
Ice Age" (Brentano's). The cataclysms
of nature the reader may be willing to &C.
cept: the oombats of primitive man with the
various extinct monsters whose renains
grace our museums will arouse some scepti-
clsm. Though he ~discourses on elemental
passions, the authors Imagination or
courage does not venture beyond the forms
OF courtship still current. The suggestion
of a Mrs. Grundy in the glacial period is
funny.

One View Of Porto Rico.

One serious difficulty in the admins
tra.ion of the territories acquired from
Spain has been the conviction under which
many worthy Professionals labor. that the
establishment 81 the United States govern
nent means the establishment of Protes-
tant tenets. They are panied that the native
Christians should be allowed to continue
in the religion in which they have believed
for centuries and cnnDot understand why
a Catholic in Porto Rico or the Philippines
should bs .leeted in the same way as a
Catholic In Eew York. Well intentioned
persons Of various persuasions who Ia
visited these lands have discovered differ
ences in civilization. in race, in modes OF
thought, aud where these have offended
their prejudices have found no difficulty
in ascribing them to the m~isdoings Of the
Catholic Church.
Nothing can be more mischievous thar
harping on religious differences or assum-
ing that the liberty OF conscience guaran-
teed by the Constitution means proselyting
among people who are content with their
religion. Very little good is served by
comparing Latin civilization in a semi
tropical climate with the state Of things
in the United States. The impressions
Of Mr.. George Milton Fowles In Down in
Porto Rico" eaton and Mains) are not
hattering to the Porto Ricans, We fancy
they will irTitate those persons who treated
the author with hospitality. The authors
generahzations are so sweeping that they
will arouse incredulty, and many Of bis
statements will be considered inexact not
merely by Porto Ricans but by many
Americans who have visited the island.
Pains seem to have beer taken to misun-
derstand the natives whenever It was posi-
bic and to lay stress on whatever might
offend American taste. .

A Crime Explained.

II is gratifying to find that Anna Kathe-
rine Green can still write exciting tales OF
the unravelling of mysterious crimes that
can compare with her earlier stories. In
The Woman in the Above" The Bobbs-
Merrill Company, 1ndianapolis) we find
an unusually startling murder perpetrated
with great skill. The false trails along
which the reader ie led in the search for
the criminal are arranged very cleverly
and he will follow them breathlessly till the
hunt is over.
An effort. not wholly successful, Is made
70 give human character to the puppets in
the play, and there is lack of probability at
times in motives and explanatory Incl
dents. The detective part, however, which
after all is what holds the reader's attention
hangs well together and makes no inordi-
nate demands upon credulity. Those who
are fond of stories Of crime will find one
here that will satisfy them abundantly.
