III. d. Lcavftt Calls 1t suicidai--Dfs-
cusses Conditions ON the Island.
j do not look for war between the
Cubans and the Americans, because
there are too many witnesses among
the Cubans of how the Americans
iogght the Spanlards at Santiago
This was what Halsey Brown Leav-
It. editor of the Havana Daily Post,
Ieclared when seen at the Astor House
IN New York upon his arrival from
~'u5a and asked to discuss the present
soudition of affairs on the island, says
lie New York Globe The struggle
ROW going on there he described as sui
cidal
1.-The Cubans realize" Mr.. Leavitt
said. that an enemy composed of
Americans would be far different from
the easy, siesta loving Spaniard. Still,
il war does come, l believe it would
be long drawn out and very trying.
Cuba is especially adapted for guer-
rilla fighting, and the Cubans could
hold out for a very long time. 1t must
not be forgotten that for four years
they managed to fight a Spanish army
composed of 250,000 men,"
In speaking of the struggle in gen.
eral way Mr.. Leavitt said:
sse ~This suicidal struggle, which has re-
suited in an American commission be-
ing sent there and which may cause
the United States to forcibly intervene,
may be placed in the same category as
other revolutions in Latin American
countries-that is, it is fight between
the outs and ins.'
"There are two parties in Cuba, the
Moderates and Liberals. The first
claims to stand for conservatism,
while the second admits radical tend
encies. The most conservative ele-
ment, in which are numbered those
people who have large property inter
ests, do not enter politics, seeking only
to be allowed to continue unmolested
IN their peaceful pursuits.
"The Liberals give as their principal
reason for attacking the government
the frauds committed during the last
election, when President Palma was
declared to have been reelected.
Whether or not this is a real reason
or whether there would have been
revolution anyway, the fact remains
that Secretary Taft has ascertained
that the claim of the Liberals is just
one, and, being just, he insists that the
government meet the Liberals half
way in an effort to bring about q set
tlement which will save the sovereign.
ty Of the republic.
"The arrival of Messrs. Taft and Ba-
con in Cuba was regarded In different
lights by the different classes. Those
who play the political game were, of
course, opposed to any interference by
tie United States. They regard very
lightly the fact that their country has
made a treaty in which is embodied
the Platt amendment. They declare
that General Wood forced them to ac
cept the amendment against their will,
and that therefore they have no moral
compunctions about breaking it. The
conservative element, on the other
hand, gladly hail the American inter
vention not because they are fond OF
Americans, but because they want
peace"
When Mr.. Leavitt was asked II the
majority of the Cubans favored Ameri-
can control he replied that they did not.

FTRsT aoLD FIND IN ALASKA.
Discovered by Ivan sinenson LuIxeeI
 a Russian Trader In 1882.

Discovered by Ivan simenson LuIxeen,
 Russian Trader in 1882.
 Ketchikan Mining Journal
 Gold was first discovered in Alaska on the Anauk river, 3 tributary of the Kuskowim river, which jolns the latter stream about twenty-five miles below the trading post of Kalarnakofisky, The Anauk river was discovered by Ivan simeson Lukeen in 1882, at which time he built a fort called Lukeen's fort, on the Kuskowim river, twenty-f five miles above the mouth of the Anauk. It was partially destroyed by natives in 1S41 and rebuilt by Kalmakeff, q Russian trader, afterward and called Kalmakoff redouht,
 In 1882 the headquarters of the Rus. sian American Trading Company were at sitka, and supplies were transported from thence to Lukeen's fort by way of Nushagak river, Tie-ohie river and lake and down the Anauk river to the Kus- kowim river and thence upstream twenty-five miles to the fort. In 1887 the yearly supplies were sent in by way of the mouth of the Kuskowim river, and the old way abandoned as a sum- nner route and used only for the pur- pose of sending out the mails during the winter by dog teams. It was the only winter route the Russians ever used from any point on the Yukon to the outside (Sitka), and was only abandoned for the purpose a4er they left the country.
 It was while on one of these trips in 1882 that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk and it is known tor day as the Yellow river of the Rus sians It is not known whether they ever attempted mining on any large scael or whether they found gold in scale or whether they found gold in be the first time on record of gold be- ing found in this country.
 Lukeen was born of Russian and Spanish American Creole parents in the Ross colony in California. He was well educated ct the sitka school and prov= ed to be an active, energetic and intel Iigent officer In 1863 Lukeen. ascended the Yukon river and from St. Michael to Fort Gibbons. then a Hudson Bay Gemnany's trading lost which was built MeAdurFy, who descended the Proeu- pine river in 1S47. Jukeen was the first man who conn eeted the Pelly river of Campbell and the sea. He returned to St. Michael that fall. In 1886 the Russian garrison at Klamakeff re- doubt, in charge of Dementoff, was withdrawn, the United States having purchased Alaska from the Russians.

similar strain is said to have been made in the supreme court of the United States, and has also been repeated with local color" In reply to one portion of the attorneys argument member Of the court saids
 s.The trouble with your contention, Mr. Blank, is that it is not the law v
 To which the lawyer responded after . silence lasting scarcely two seconds;
 T recognize that fact at this in- stance, your honor; but 1t was the law until your honor spoke"
 One sarcasm reflecting on the courts knowledge of the law has been put m an epigrarn to the effect that:
 Love, like many judges. knows nc law"
 Another remark having the same ob- feet is the reply made by counsel te the judges rernonstrance with the at. torney for going so much Into detail as to elementary principles of the law to the effect that,
 sThe counsel should give the court credit for knowing q little law.
 TO which the attorney reioined:
 ''The counsel does, your honor.
 The truth of colioquy said to have taken place in the court of appeals or New York between the chief justice and an attorney Is easier to believe than some of the other stories fFequeptiy heard. mainly because the sarcasm comes from the court. Upon the eios' inE of the argument of the appellants counsel the chief justice remafhea' after whispering to his colleague:

Admirers and enemies alike have created Sarah, the first Duchess of Marlborough and famous wife of the great soldier. with a masculine intel feet. Her most recent biographer, Mrs. A, Colyille, while agreeing that the duchess was match for most men, shows that her actions were truly fem mine.
 She was So much the woman. in fact, that the devoted duke, when begged to intereede for man who had offended her grace. frankly replied that he would sooner light the battles of Blenheim and Families over than to try to rec oneile his wife to anybody she did not like. ft
 The duchess was certainly masculine in the uneoncern with which she view ed herself. After one of the dukes battles somebody in conversation eon- pared him to Belisarius.
 Why madam" inquired 8 puzzled lady. sN
 "oh, madam said Duchess Sarah impatienfly. because he had such a birthstone of wife!' %
 The duchess was many times in liti- gation, but each legal experience left her a little more charitable and sym pathetic than 1t found her.
 Once Child, the banker, was oppress- ed and nearly ruined by the Bank of England. friend of his, rushing in where the duke feared to tread, stated his case to the duchess. Her answer his hand: To the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England:

Growing Daughters.

Girls of fifteen or sixteen usually la- bor under the idea that they are grown women and as such quite able to take care of themselves. The home influence Is largely to blame for this. The busy mother, with her household cares, does not realize that her partly grown bird ling is towering perilously near the edge of the nest and may possibly try her wings in some dangerous flights.
 The girl Of fifteen longs for romantic advantures. She has heard elder sis ters chatter about their love affairs and seeks to become acquainted with some little romance of her own. Having made up her mind, she sets forth to find her hero, and the result Is some very sad and sorry disillusionment for her and sometimes bitter heart break for the careless mother.
 Much of this trouble might be avoid ed if parents would make it their duty to provide good hearty literature and amusement for their girls.

1,he Enort to be Fnnnr.

It is sometimes a very exhausting ef- fort and often a very useless one, but 1t Is an effort that multitudes of per- sons are continually making. We must try to brighten things up," they think to themselves We mustn't let our selves be dull" Oh, the pathos of that last mental exclamation! Oh, the long ing insidiously enshrined in 1t! If only they felt at liberty to be dull===i, c., to be themselxes-how comfortable they wouldsbe!
 I think it may be said that the defi- mite effort to be funny is rarely com pletely successful. Fun should be spon- taneous, like kindness, to be really de- lightful. Then one is grateful for it. as one is grateful to Mrs. Camp to Mr Micawber. to Mrs. Poyser, to--yes, even sometimes to MT. Dooley Spontaneous fun is delicious and invigorating It makes for charity; it covers a multi tude of sins; 1t keeps the world young and the heart light through many troubles. But the effort to be funny that sometimes makes one sad and, worse. that sometimes makes one cyni- oal.-Robert Kitchens.

 Not many people know that what is celebrated as noon was originally at 8 p. m. The reason for the change is interesting" said a Columbia university philelokist the other day Noon. or 'nonss,' as is was then known, was the hour at which the monks said their nones, which were prayers at the ninth hour, or 8 o'clock. The monks reckon ed time from the time of eating break fast at 6 o'clock a. m That was the beginning Of their day, The monks were not permitted to eat their din- ner until after they had said their 'nenes.' This was a long time for men who had so much time to think of eat Ing. They were all very hungry at o'clock. By and by some of them cut the time a little short--prayed little earlier As time went on they clipped of enough time to bring the eating hour in its proper place at midday, and 'nones' became l2 o'clock instead of g. even though 1t meant the ninth hour"
