Parece que, en- efecto, las visitas del
sefior Balbas la Mansion Eiecutiva On
estos tiltimos diap, reconocen como causa
tentativas del Comisionado de instruction
para alterar los acuerdos tomadop por la
comisi6n organizadora de esos planteles
Parece tambi6n que Mr.. Falkner, que
sin duda no puede digerir todavfa ESQ de

debe pasar todo nombramiento de perso-
nal, esta entregado al forcejeo que Begdn
81 ha de soltar las igaduras que apareia
Ia existencia de Ia comisi6n que ha de
proponer el personal.
Parece as1 mismo que 81 gobeTnador ha
podido prestarse & secundar las exigencias
del comisionado, aunque reconociendo en-
el fondo que no debe ir muy ALA en- secun-
dar las exigencias.

de las leyes organicas para matar una

Muy sefior mfo:
En- el nimero 202 del peri6dico de su
digna direction, correspondence al lunes
n del corriente, he leido con bastante
Bentimiento un artfculo titulado ''De todas
suertes, inicuo'', que & mi juicio, (cabe
en- 10 posible) que este escrito sin l6gica,
dentro del ancho campo del conocimiento
de las necesidades sufrimientos de un
pueblo, que solo por oidas y 10 que Sc
haya podido leer, es apreciado.
Guardeme Dios de querer iustifcar las
Tazones que.Rsisten los revolucionarios de
haber tornado las armas contra, el actual
gobierno.
Nj tampoco negar el perjuicio que la
joven Repdblica sufrira con ese estado
anormal que I'd. dice sostienen los ertra-
nos E GadfgeaGs. .<
ST fueHa possible descorrer el velo; ajus-
tar condensando en- los p&rrafos de un
Rrtfculo, aquella situaci6n violenta in-
justa, mantsnida por los que 4 juicio de
I'd. son los Yerdaderos patrioTas, por que
han hecho crecer la Hacienda Nacional y
las Instituciones;
Entonces, no deiar& I'd. corTer Ia plu.
ma, exponiendo y juzgando situacioneB
que solo los revclucionarios y los que
diieren de pertenecer & su condici6n 6tni.
ca, podrian contarle.
Los cubanos estan de sObra preparados
del gobierno propio; tan 10 estan, que
por ESQ, hoy no quieren toleTar que Sc
vulnere el articulO IL de la Constitution.
Los iRdigenGs sufren mucho.
Los eGtrGfJOs que podrian ser los aven-
tureros que I'd. ha querido decir, ambos
han demostrado indiatintamente ser muy
patriotas unos, otros respetan y acatan las
decisiones J su gobierno. ...-
Pero de toda Buerte, bien puede inten.

The name Of Jane Adams Is known

Miss Addams is the founder and

Hull House is not really one house

Miss Adams for the accommodation
Bf the city's working people. The set

haracter and unbounded sympathy OF
. founder, Miss Jane Addams.
Miss Adams is now forty-dve years
ID. She was born in .edarville. III.
fter graduating at we'll known col
kge she followed the example of her
kher young women friends and lived
Life OF ease and pleasure. She spent
pr time mostly in reading and travel
nd gradually the thought came to her
hat she was absolutely without pur.
use in life. She saw the poor around
or, got to know their cares and wor-
les and cast about for a means by
Yhich she could do them some good.
DE decided to become physician and
tok q years course in Philadelphia
ollege. At the end Of that time she
nas compelled to rest and SO went
broad to study social conditions. The
esult of her observations was her re-
urn to America and the Immediate es-
ablishment of a social settlement in
hicago.
Hull House is situated right in the
leart of Chicago's poor, in Halstead
Itreet. It came to Miss Addams
through Miss Helen Culver, niece OF
hs builder and the man for whom the
settlement is now named. 1t had been
kuilt by its owner years ago for his
vwn home and in the belief that the
hty would grow that way. 1t did grow
hat way and became one OF the most
pongested sections Of Chicago but was
peopled by all nations and of class
II humanity unused to the fine usages

and wholly without the pale Of refined
society. When Miss Culver learned
that Miss Adams intended founding

house. From the spacious mansion
which was once to have been a rich

ed into a block of buildings and here

One of the adjuncts of the settlement
u the Jane Club, an organization of
self supporting young women who are
making an effort to live up to the ideal
offered them in the personality Of their
benefactor. The club Is directly un.
der the supervision OF Miss Addams
and every employe of the house. and
In fact every one Of the settlement, is
responsible personally to her.
A,Miss Adams believes in the people,
tfusts them and looks to them for the
proper disposition Of their duties and
their lives and in this way she has
come nearer their hearts, nearer their
condolences and nearer making them

With Kingly Courage.

In Sweden a remarkable story is
told of King Oscars courage and re-
solution
The narrative recounts that soldier,
man of immense stature. while lying
under sentence of death secured a
long knife, and defied anyone to enter
his cell.
On hearing Of the circumstances the
King drove at once to the prison, and
disregarding the warning of the offici-
ais. entered the mans cell alone and
unarrod, locked the door behind him,
and then reasoned ith the convict.
1t would have been a remarkable in
terview. even II the King had taken a
pardon to the convict. But far from
this, he actually explained to the con-
demned man why he had decided to
reject any appeal for mercy; yet he so
worked on the mans feelings that
when, with a farewell handshake, the
King left him, he was totally Bubdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next
morning like soldier.

MAY BECOME A SENATOR.
Speculation as to Future of PresI.
dent Roosevelt After Term
ExplreS.

When Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
office of President of the United States
he will be but ffty-one years of age,
and just entering upon his intellectual
prime. Will he be content to go into
retirement from politics? If so, he will
have to forego his present love of doing
things. Much, however, depends on
chance. If he shall be as popular when
he retires as he is at present, or half as
popular, he will remain the head of his
party, and should he desire political
preferment, he will get it.
After his retirement from the Prcsi-
dency, George Washington was given
command of the army in our actual but
not declared war with France. John
Quincy Adams made more fame the
nine terms he was in Congress the last
eighteen years of his life than in all
his previous political career. General
Jackson retired from the Presidency in
1887, but he was the head of his party
until his death. in 184s. He dictated his
successor, and his will was law to both
Van Buren and Polk Van Buren was
politician until he died. He elected
Polk in 1874 and defeated Cass in 1888.
General Grant was a candidate for
President in 1880, and had his man.
ayers acted with little more sagacity,
he would have been nominated, and per-
haps elected. Grover Cleveland was
elected President in 1892 after his re-
tirement in 1880.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the youngest of the
Presidents, and when he retires in 1900
