The Cuban InsurrectiOn.
Government Making Strenu-
Gus Efforts to Restore Peace
Don't want Uncle Sam
to Intervene.

Havana, Sept. 16.-The govern.
ment tbs evening is making fin
al strenuous efforts to restore
peace in Cuba and thus avoid
any kind of American interven-
ton. The object of these endea-
vors, it is stated, is that it may
be able to say by the time Secre-
tary of War Taft and acting Sec
retary of State Bacon arrive that
peace already has been secured
and that therefore there is no
needi for the American govern
ment's intervention, either to
restore peace or insure perma-
nent tranquility.
Members of the government in.
formed the Associated Press that
they are making the efforts in
accordance with the advice con-
tanned in President Roosevelt's
letter; that they have no objec-
tions to the friendly assistance
of the United States In the mat
ter if it becomes necessary, but
that they can settle it between
the government and the revolu-
tionlsts without the necessity of
any intervention. At least, they
say, they are making an attempt
to accomplish this end unaided,
and with fair prospects of sue
cess.

The Recent Interesting Ex-
ercises on East Lancaster
Circuit.
[ From the Christian Advocate.

From the Christian Advocate |
Mr.. Editor: Sunday, the I'd
inst, was great day in the his
tory of East Lancaster Circuit.
Beginning at Bethel Sunday NOR
ming at 10 o'clock was Children's
Day. The program consisted of
exercises by the children and
music by the school. Mr.. Claud
Sapp, of O. K, S. g., delivered an
address, and Rev. E. X. Hardin,
Of Glover, s. c., also addressed
the Sunday school, especially The
children. Both exercises and
speeches were of high order. At
4 o'clock p. m. Rev. E. X. Hardin
preached All educational sermon
at Tabernacle Church to a crowd
ed house. To simply say the ser
mon was excellent does neither
the speaker nor the occasion JUS
tice. A great speech by fine
man to clever people must re-
suit in much good. At s O'Clock
p. m. the same giant delivered an
address on missions at Hopewell
Church. Your informant was not
present, but Judging from the
other addresses we do not hesl-
tate to say that it was good to Re
there.
East Lancaster is on the up
grade. Three good churches, a
nice parsonage, a clever, honest
people. and a moving, handsome
preacher, 1t is not strange that

executive committee 0f tD6
Southern Cotton associatio n held
at Hot Springs, Ark, fixing the
minimum price on cotton basis
middling, at interior points at
10 cents is as low a prlce as any
farmer could be asked or advis-
ed to hold his cotton. Ten cents
per pound is practically the
bread and meat line and cotton
sold below that figure, however
slight, barely represents the
cost of production.
There is no necessity and no
kind of sensible reasoning why
the South should sacrifice he
present maturing crop of cotton
at any price nnder 10 cents pei
pound. There is no good rea-
son why this crop should sell fol
less than that of the last year,
which averaged a little over II
cts. per pound at the ports. Since
Sept. /, 1904, to Sept. 1, 1906,
there have come into sight 25,-
100000 bales of cotton, and OF
this enormous amount, all had
been practically consumed except
about 500, 900 bales.
The past two years, show ing
the largest production both
wears in the history of our cot
ton production, sold at an aver.
age price of 10 cents per pound.
or the grand total of 81 ,25O,OOU..
900. With the consumption of
these two unprecedented crops
selling at an average of 10 cents,
we still find the demand for
finished goods enormous sand
the full capacity Of the mills un-
able to supply the trade at very
high prices Tor manufacture.
Since August l, heavy and
continuous deterioration has
taken place in the fruitage of
the crop over the entire belt.
The splendid expectations of an
unusually large yield, so bright
month ago, have now dwindled
to anticipations Of only normal
yield. To meet the conditions
which confront the present time,
there is but one thing TO do, and
that is to sell the crop slowly
and refuse to market the staple
rapidly during the next three
months. Every farmer who
can do so should store and hold
his crop eff The market until
the price of 10 cents at least is
offered. The present price of
cotton is far below the true
value OF the,staple and the people
are hereby appealed to not to
submit 10 such an unwarranted
sacrifice OF the prodrct of their
labor. Prices are sure TO adjust
themselves 10 higher levels
when the trade at large begins
to fully realize the extent of the
present and recent heavy dereric-
ration in the crop all over the
ce'ton belt.
Yours truly,

BOILED EGG OF ENGLAND.
Athletic Triumph Achieved by Col
lege Men Who Trained on
Hen Fruit.

Far more than a mere athlethic tri-
umph was Cambridge's victory recent
ly. 1t was the demonstration Of a
great scientific principle that bids fair
TO subyert the gustatory traditions of
q nation. Other crews have won on
form or fortune; it remained for the
Light Blue crew of 1906 TO owe their
laurels TO the common farm yard egg.
says the New York Times.
On eggs they were trained-raw
eggs, poached eggs, eggs boiled soft
and eggs as hard as rocks. scrambled
eggs, fried eggs. eggs beaten up in
milk, and eggs turned into omelets.
Every resource of the culinary artist
was called into requisition, and in the
strength of those eggs they rowed Ok
ford to a standstill.
When first people heard that every
cantab polished of four eggs for break
fast they laughed; when they were
told that five dozen eggs were con-
sumed by the crew each day they
sneered; but one or two sensational
performances in practice made them
sit up and take notice
Then the historians of the turf de
clared that to eggs Birmingham owed
in 1880 his victory in the St. Legef
over Priam. the Derby winner, and the
scientists came forward with uncanny
calculations OF how much slbumen,
proteids, and other things that people
eat without knowing it an egg con-
tains. The London restaurants began
to feel the change. No one would take
his breakfast. his luncheon, or his
dinner without an egg, and egg fips,
eggnogg and every other drink with
an egg to its name became the rage.
The country was secured in all di.
rections for eggs. From Brittany,
Denmark, and other countries came
eggs in countless thousands. But still
the demand is increasing. and with the
victory Of Cambridge it is confidently
expected that The Boiled Egg OF Old
England is come to stay.

THREE SPECIES OF MOOSE.
Distinguishing Features Of the Ami
mails Found in Different Parts
Of the World.

There are supposed TO be three spe-
cies Of moose: The European moose,
or elk, found in northern Europe Sad
adjoining parts OF Asia; the commo.
moose Of Eastern America, distin.
guished chiefly from its European con-
gener by the skull being narrowed
across the maxillaries, also by its
greater size and darked color, and tbs
Alaskan moose, separated by its giant
stature, It's narrow occiput, broad pail
ate and heavy mandibles, writes Ern-
est Thompson Seton, in Scrfbner's
Monthly.
Expressed in external features as IL
Illustrated in the adult male always
best for dierentiating speciesJ:
The Scandinavian elk is a small,
gray animal with little palm and many
spikes on its antlers. The Canadian
is large black animal with much
PLANTATION and always a separate brow

Of Canadian moose antlers, but never

oped separate group OF prongs in front
Of each brow. have seen a score or
more of Swedish elk, but never saw
one that did have a separated brow
group Of prongs, though confess

The Alaskan IS a richly colored
black, gray and brown giant, not only
the largest deer alive to-day, but be-
lieyed to be the largest that ever did
exist, since no fossil has been found 10
equal it IN bulk. It's antlers diner
chiefly in size from those Of the Cana
dian moose, but Madison Grant claims
that they are also more complex and
have in the brow antlers a second pal
nation which is set at right angles 70
that Of the main PLANTATION. In these
peculiarities he finds "a startling re-
semblance is shown 70 the extinct Ger
valces, a mOoselike deer of PleistOeene
times. probably ancestral to the genus
Alces."
If this resemblance indicates any
close relationship, we have in the
