Great Battle Fleet.
SAIL ON MAIL STEAMER.

Omaha. Neb., April IA spirit of
adventure has prompted Miss Louise
Mcpherson and Miss Marie McShane
two Omaha society girls. to follow the
battleship fleet on it's cruise around the
world. Desiring to be present at every
Port the fleet visits and mingle with

sired permission was secured.

APPEAL
FOR LOCAL PASTOR
Bishop Berry Brought Confer
enCe to Tears in Speech
For Harrison.
TWO MINISTERS PENSIONED
CONDITION OF E. E. NEAL, FORM
Err RICHMOND PASTOR WAS
TOUCHED UPON AND SEVERAL
HUNDRED DOLLARS RAISED.

Anderson, Ind, April 4-Appealing
for assistance to the Rev. o. S. Harri-
son, who has been pastor of, the Third
NJ. E. church at Richmond, yesterday,
Bishop Berry brought the large audi
ence in attendance at the Northern In
diana conference to tears. Even
deeper feeling was expressed when at
tention was called to the hopeless con-
dtion of the Rev. E. E. Neal, of Ell
wood. a former pastor of the First
church at Richmond. Both of these
workers in behalf of Methodism were
Tensioned The Rev. MIR. Harrison is
net old enough to be superannuated,
but his years of service have won
verify recognition and reward.
Bishop Berry opened the discussion
on the case of the Rev. Mr.. Harrison
with a beautifully pathetic appeal in
which he described the Illness of the
pastor at Richmond and his wife. He
is a young man but is absolutely too
weak and worn out from continued ill
ness to continue in the ministry. The
bishops appeal brought a very sad
spirit over the entire audience and
many shed tears. The unfortunate
ministers were voted pension unani-
mOusly.
Probably the saddest feature of the
conference came when the case of the
Rev. E. E. Neal Of ElWood came uI
for consideration. Rev. Neal has been
seriously i'll for the past five months
and is now on the verge of death. His
brother who is also a pastor was in
the audience and repeated with a sob
bling voice the message of greeting
which his ill brother had told him tc
give the conference. He said that the
message had been given in only a whis
pering tone and that it would proba
bly, be his last communication with his
brethren before departing for the home
beyond. Rev. Meals speech brought
tears to the eyes of the good bishop
the brethren and in fact every attend
ant at the meeting. A collection was
taken up and several hundred dollars
turned over to the secretary for the i'm
mediate relief of the Rev. Neal. Rev
Neal is one of the leading ministers
in the Northern Indiana conference
and was pastor at the First church
there.

ANIMALS IN CUBA.
Game In Plenty and One Species Of
Observation-Disclosures Snake.


Throughout Cuba game is abundant.
Deer. though not native. have -four
ished and multiplied greatly. Rabbits
are PLENTIFUL; also the wild boar, SO
called, the wild pig, the wild dog and
the wild cat Of the island. Wild fowl,
especially ducks and pigeon, abound,
the former crossing from the southern
states during the winter season, while
the latter remain on the island the year
round. Pheasants. quail, snipe, wild
turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also
numerous, with several varieties OF
game birds, such as the perdiZ, tOjosas,
rabiches and the guanaros.
The only distinctive native animal is
the jutia or hutia ratlike in appear
ance and black. 1t grows to length
of sixteen or eighteen inches, not in
Guiding the tail. While eatable, it IS
not especially palatable.
Cuba has more than 200 species Of
native birds, including those already
mentioned as game birds. many pos
sessing the most beautiful plumage,
but those with song are rare.
In swampy localities Crocodiles and
American aliigators lcaimans) are
found, and. although these frequently
grow to an enormous size, but little
attention is paid to them by the ma
tives
Chameleons. small lizards, tree toads
and similar harmless silurians of d.
minutive size are very common, while
occasionally the iguana and other large
varieties of the lizard species are seen.
Few varieties of snakes exist in
Cuba. One Of these, the maja, from
ten to fourteen feet in length, is q
semi-domesticated reptile, if such a
term may be used for it is most fire.
quentiy found about the huts, farm
houses and small villages, it's favorite
living place being in the palm matches
of the old buildings, while its favorite
food is poultry. Another snake, named
the JUDO, is more vicious in disposition
than the maja, although never reach
ing more than one-third its size. 1t is
not poisonous. The other varieties are
still smaller in size, are seldom seen

LITERARY BULLS.
For Instance, the "Groan That Gursies
From the Slain"

For Instance, the "Groan That Gursles
From the Slain"
Macaulay once reviewed a poem in
which climax of absurdity was reach
ed with this line:
And hearst each groan that gurgles from
the slain.
The poetic license which lets a groan
gurgle from a slain man is capable Of
letting him walk into town from the
field Of battle, collect the amount Of
his life insurance policy and hand it
to his widow. 1t brings to mind the
heroic warrior of whom 1t is said that
thrice he slew the slain" and the Irish
member OF parliament who convulsed
the house of commons by exclaiming
that he would die as a soldier first and
a man afterward.
But. strange to say. Macaulay himself
has made a similar blunder. In his
Battle Of Lake Ragillus' the follow
ing lines occur:
The shouting of the slayers
And screeching OF the slain.
Did these writers make these slips
in the heat of battle or were they
testing the intellectual acuteness of
their readers? There is q story of a
German schoolmaster who used to call
out his class in history and begin to
tell them OF the Thirty Years war. Yes,
children" he would say. this is sub
ject in which l am especially interest
ed. as my grandfather often told me
about it. He was well to do innkeep-
er. and one day as he was standing In
his doorway a mounted soldier came
galloping up at a furious rate. What's
the NATTER asked my grandfather.
Matter enough answered the dragon.
Don't you know that the Thirty Years
war has begun today" At this point
the ancient peda gogue would pause and
survey his class. Then a smile would
overspread his rubicund countenance II
a hand was raised and a boyish treble
asked how the dragoon knew the war
would last thirty years Perhaps our
poets. too, would play the schoolmas'
ter and smile If we should ask them
how it is possible for the slain to groan
or screech.-George Seibel in Pittsburg

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed YOU have a rum

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases

its efficiency.
Not only has the negro child suffer
ed for education, but the white child
has been a sufferer in almost an equal
degree. No section of our country is
making as great a struggle as the
South, but Notwithstanding this fact
it still remains that large proper
ton of the negro children are without
