A Very Useful Tree.

The most marvellous tree in the world
is the carnahuba palm, which grows in
Brazil. Its roots produce the same
medicinal effect as sarsaparilla. From
parts of the tree wine and vinegar are
made. It's fruit is used for feeding
cattle. Of the straw, hats, baskets,
brOoms and mats are made. It is also
used for matching houses. The pulp
has an agreeable taste, and the nut,
which Is oleaginous and emulsive, is
sometimes used as a substitute for COT
fee. Its stems afford strong, light
fibers, which acquire a beautiful luster
and serve also for joists, rafters and
other building materials. It yields also
saccharine substance as we'll as a
starch resembling sage. OF the wood
Of the stem musical instruments, wa
ter tubes and pumps are made From
the stem a white liquid similar to the
milk Of the cocoanut and a -four re-
sembling maizena, may be extracted.
Moreover, salt Is extracted from the
tree, and likewise an alkali used in the
manufacture Of common soap.-An-
eWers.

Jouett and the Fighting Cadet.

Fighting Jimmy" was acting secre-
tary of the navy once when the COM
mandant of the academy at Annapolis
came over and reported that he had
been compelled to discipline cadet
who had behaved in q most unaccOunt-
able manner and had disgraced the
academy, the department, the govern
ment and all civilization. He then pro
ceeded to relate how this cadet when
passing through the lower regions of
the town Of Annapolis had somehow or
another become involved in hOStilitieS
with a tough citizen and proceeded to
tough came to his rescue. The cadet
backed up against wall and whipped
five Of them in succession and then
nearly hammered the life out of two
policemen who attempted to arrest
him. He was in the custody Of the
civil authorities, and the superintend-
ent Of the academy was seeking the
aid of the secretary of the navy in hav-
ing him transferred to the naval au-
thorities in order that he might be
court martialed and punished.

Jouett. Licked five toughs and two
policemen. Not while old Jim Jouett is

ba at the moment it is difficult
to say. but it is safe surmlse
that Judge Magoon is having a
harder time than he ever exper-
fenced either on the Isthmus or
in the war department at Wash
ington. The fragmentary re-
ports that have leaked out at the
department since Judge Magoon
took hold show that the situation
is in about as bad a tinal C al tan
gle as could possibly be concelv-
ed. The Cubans have managed
to accumulate an immense bond
ed debt, since they took charge
of the government, debt on
which the fixed interest charges
are large but will have to be met
if Cuba is not to appear as a de-
faulter before the nations Of the
world. There is a sum Of thirty
five million dollars in what is
known as the first Cuoan loan.
w hich was made for the pay
ment of the revolutionary sol
diers. There is an addition to
this of ten million dollars raised
by the banking house Of Speyer
Bros and an internal loan Of So
$4,000, all of which has to be
carried.
There has been an eytrava-
gence and acknowledgement all
along the line in the appoint
ment Of public officers and the
payments for internal improve.
ments which have never been
made. And the only wonder is
that in spite OF the phenomenal
prosperity Of Cuba she has been
able tC stagger along with the
debt as long as she has. One of
the first acts Of governor Magoon
was to cut off 80 uperfuous en-
ployees of the senate and 8lmost
twice as many in the House.
The same drastic course will
have to be pursued with the 60
vernment employees throughout
the island and there will be an
accumulation Of employees out
of a job that will almost suffice
to constitute fresh revolution.
Meaetime there have been
minor tronbles breaking out at
various points in the interior.
Major Kane, who was in COM
mand of the marines at Cienfue-
Cos, has been obliged to hurry a
part of his attachment inland to
squelch the new revolution,
which, as he discovered when he
reached the spot consisted of
100 unarmed liberals VINO claim
ed that they were merely organ
lied to repel a threatened attack
of the Moderates. Altogether
the situation is one of dealing
with children, although it is by
no means childs play for the Off
GERS who have to do the work.

Cuba with as little thanks and

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

mence amount of intere It in
Washington over the New York
campaign, especially in view of
the fact that the President has
been dragged into it against his
will, and the Repu blican leaders
there are clamoring for an
authentic" denial from Wash
ington of the claims put for ward
by Mr.. Hearst that he and the
President are on the same plat
form.
It may be necessary to go back
and explain that several days
ago, when the Democratic mana
gers found out that they were
losing the support of the Labor
and the East Side vote as we'll as
the upstate farmer vote, which
they have counted on losing any
how they sprung new sensa-
tion. This was nothing less
than the issue of half million
flaming circulars qouting from
addresses that had been made
by the President and bv Mr..
Hearst and placing these speech
es III parallel columns, the 90
ject being to indicate that along
various lines, especially in Mr..
Hearst's TRADE against the &C.
cumlation Of wealth, he and the
President were aiming at the
same thing by the same methods.
1t is needless to say that this
parallel of utterances was en-
tirely specious. The injustice
was emphasized by the fact that
a part of the Presidents remarks
were put into italics and under
scored, with the result of twist
ing his statements into interpre-
tations that he had never meant
to give them.
Likewise Marcus Braun, one
time an Inspector in the I'm mi
grafton Bureau, addressed large
meetings of Hungarians in New
York in their native tongue and
quoted to them an already re-
pudiated statement of the Pres
dent tending to show that vote
for Hearst was a vote for Roose-
welt. All these tricks of course
will have certain campaign
effect. and the Republican lead
ers in New York have been wild
to get a statement from the
President repudiating Mr..
Hearst and all his trick works.
Naturally this would not have
been a bad thing for the Demo
Gratis either. They could easily
have claimed in case of defeat
that the President was meddling
in State affairs and in any case
would have been able to put him
in bad light.
At the same time, it may be
eaisly believed that with his
penchant for d Touchdown and
drag-out fight, the President
was inst ready to write such a
letter as Chairman Woodruff
desired. But he was prevented
by the counsels of Postmaster
General Cortelyou and Secretary
Root. Secretary Root will go
to Utica, New York, and speak
on Thursday night. carrying
with him message from the
President, as direct a refutation
of Democratic claims as it would
be wise for him to make under
the circumstances, With this
secondhand statement the Re-
publican campaign managers in
New York will have to be salts
fed. But it is a certainty that
Secretary Root will be able to
make the most of the occasion
for he is an exceedingly convin-
ing speaker once he is induced
to speak at-all.

ward, Mrs. Woodward's husband, cas-
ily tracked it down and dispatched It
the same day.
Mrs. Woodward has a reputation
throughout Michigan and Wisconsin as
a huntress. She is the daughter OF
Henry Baldwin, who until recently
was at the head of large Pitts5urg
colliery company, and is known by
many in Syracuse, n. T., where she
lived for several years. On account Of
consumption DR.. woodward went into
the Michigan north woods soon after
his marriage and became a profess
sional wolf hunter. His wife took an
active part in the wilderness life, car
ried gun, set traps and helped to kill
many Of the beasts, for which the state
offers a bounty. During the last five
years the Woodwards have made over
$4,000 in wolf hunting and have won
WlQe TeputdtIOu.
During her life in the woods as a
professional wolf hunter Mrs. Wood
ward has had many stirring adv en-
lures, but never one to compare With
that Of short time ago. Miss Wood-
ward was visiting her friend in Luce
county, where the Woodwards have
made their home for about a year. Dur
ing her stay the wolf huntress took her
friend on many little hunting cxcur-
sions in the woods, and Miss Williams
soon became so enthusiastic that she
willingly carried and practiced with
one of the rifles of her hostess. She
shot several wolves that were caught
in traps, killed freed wildcat and soon
became quite expert.
On the morning Of the adventure
with the bears Mrs. Woodward and
Miss Williams set out for deep part
of the woods for the roots Of some
magnificent ferns that grew there.
few Of which Miss Williams wished to
take home with her. The woods about
Luce and, In fac, throughout that and
adjoining counties have been swarming
with bears, but Mrs. Woodward e1-
pressed herself as not afraid Of the big
gest bear in Michigan. But she hardly
bargained for four.
The two young women had just
reached the little boggy hollow In which
the ferns grew, and Mrs. Woodward
was busy with spade, when Miss
Williams gave scream.
Look! Lookp she cried.

ress, took in the situation at Rlauce.
