Secretary Taft said that he and AS

leave for Cuba Sunday night from the

could not tell when they would reach

Cuban official who has just arrived
from Cuba, as saying;
Cuba is doomed and the republic
has fallen. That for which our fore
fathers fought for over 40 years and
died for, has been destroyed by Pine
Guerara in few days on account of
Jealousy. President Palma can do
nothing with the bandits who lurk in
the woods and come out at night to
burn crops and destroy property. If
the Americans who talk easily of an
nexation stop to think what it means
to us, they would not be so hasty.
There are thousands of Cubans whose

CAUGHT BY TRAIN ON TRESTLT
Little Girl Loses Her Life Near Hood
River.

Wednesday evening as train No. /,
an hour late, was approaching Hood
River, the engine caught little
Blanche Woodman on the long tres
tie in Frank Buttons field, and she
was killed, says the Hood River News
Letter.
The little girl, who was or s
years old, was out with some other
children accompanied by Mrs. Faith
Lott and had been gathering flowers
along the track and on the hillside
east of town. Without thinking of
danger the party got on the trestle in
Buttons field. The road makes a
curve around the point east of the
trestle and this prevents the engineer
from seeing any one on the track un-
til he is near the end of the bridge.
1t also muffles the noise of the ap-
preaching train and prevents any one
on the bridge from receiving any
warning of its approach.
The child ran for the end of the
bridge, and in spite Of all the engi-
neer could do to stop his train she
was struck by the engine, and, as an
eye witness said to the writer, began
turning summersaults from the time
she was truck until she reached the
ground.
The little one was picked up and
brought to the depot, where the COM
pany's physician, DR.. Watt, was sum-
moned and everything possible done
to relieve her suffering. After the
first examination and relief was ap-
piled the little girl was taken>to the
home Of her broken-hearted mother
and died shortly after reaching there

This saying had its origin in the
rivalry between St Peters cathedral,
now Westminster abbey, and St
Pauls, when, in 1850, an appropria.
ton was made from st. Peters to
make good a deficiency in the accounts
Of st. Paul's. Much opposition was
shown to this, and II was for the time
a popular outcry, why rob Peter to
pay PAUL." The saying was revived
as a proverb upon the death of Will
liam Pitt, earl Of Chatham. in 171S. The
city Of London argued that so illus.
trious a statesman should be buried at
st. Paul's, while parliament held that
the remains of so great kader should
be placed with the dust of kings and
that to bury him away from the Abbey
Of Westminster would be again rob-
