cUBA's FIRST PRESIDENT.
Dramatic Scene In Tomas Estrada
PaIma's Career.

Dramatic Scene In Tomas Estrada
Palma's Career.
In recalling some of the incidents of
the life of the late Tomas Etrada
Palma, who was the first president Of
the Cuban republic, Senior Francisco
q. Fonseca, who was born and reared
in the same province and within a
stones throw of General Palma's home
In the province of Santiago, Cuba. said:
The most dramatic scene in General
Palma's long struggle for the freedom
of Cuba may be said to have occurred
after he was taken to Spain as q pris-
Oner ID 1867. The usual questions
were put to him, among which was:
What is your profession?' To
which he replied, 4 am president of
the republic of Cuba
''The reply did not suit the Spanish
inquisitors, and they repeated their
question with greater vigor, but got
the same reply, General Palma retain
ing his quiet but emphatic manner
He was so intense that his questioners
became excited and threatened the
most severe punishment unless Gen
eral Palma became more plastic, but
even this did not disturb him, for he
replied in the same way, adding: That
IS my occupation, and my only enc at
present and so long as my people care
to confide this trust in me- If you re-
ject my plea, then | must go to an
honorable exile or such other punish
ment as you determine upon or dis
honorably impose.
"And for this he was imprisoned, not
to die, however, but later to become
the president Of the republic of Cuba
through the loyal support Of the Unit
ed States
"But President Palma was also a
man Of the deepest and tenderest feel
ing. One Of the most touching things
I ever heard Of about any one was in
relation to his mother, who died from
the tortures visited upon her by the
Spaniards back in 1873. General Pal
ma had returned from the Spanish
prison and naturally started to see his
aged parent Upon arriving at Baya-
mo he was conducted to the pen where
his mother had been confined by Span
ish orders, but to see only her body,
for she had died a few hours before
STOPPING down to kiss her cheek, he
saw in her hand a handkerchief, and
he took it, kissed it and put it carefully
away in his bosom. He carried that
handkerchief always after that day.
He was once asked for it to be placed
on exhibition, but remarked, No; the
memory of my mother is too sacred to
think Of parting with such dear me-

Fifteen Months.

James T. Mulhall was sentenced
at Minneapolis to fifteen months
at the federal prison at Leavenworth,
KAN; Edgar McConkey to one year
and one day at EeavenWorth, and Fe-
Xix Williamson to six months in the
county jail by Judge Milton Purdy.
stay OF ten days pending appeal
for writ of error was granted
After nearly six hours deliberation
the federal jury returned a verdict of
guilty against the three men charged
with conspiracy to defraud by the use
of the mails.
The crime with which the men are
charged is one of conspiracy to de-
fraud. Alleged fraudulent operation
of the Nicollet Creamery company in
Minneapolis last fall is the specific
charge in the indictment upon which
the men were convicted. Farmers
throughout the Northwest are said to
have lost heavily by shipping produce
which was never paid for.

PAYING AN ELECTION BET.
Dancer Wearing Barrel Walked {
Block on Broadway New Work.

Dancer Wearing Barrel Walked a
Block on Broadway, New York.
One of the first Of freak election bets
to be paid was settled the other morn
ing in New York by Miss Della Con-
nor, a dancer in "Marcelle," at the Ca
sino theater, much to the amusement
of Broadway pedestrians in general
and host Of small boys. Miss Connor
bet friend in the theater that Bryan
would be elected. In the event Of los
ing the wager she agreed to walk
around the Casino theater in a barrel.
At 1920 Miss Conner emerged from
the front door Of the playhouse, shoes,
ankles, shoulders, arms, head and a
mammoth picture hat in sight and
wildly clutching at the sides of a sugar
barrel. She found it impossible to hold
up her hoop gown" and navigate, so
her initial effort was declared false
start, and David Bennett, her husband,
and the stage manager came to her
rescue.
Bennett led his wife inside the thea
ter, took off his suspenders and nailed
them to the barrel When Miss COnnOr
again appeared the barrel hung from
her shoulders gracefully.
Thus sheathed she made the circuit
Of the block to the stage door, fol

AN ACCURATE CLOCK.
The Timepiece In the Observatory of
Columbia University.

The Timepiece In the Observatory of
Columbia University.
In the observatory of Columbia uni
yersity is one Of the most accurate
clocks in the world 1t has run for
several months with a mean error of
only ffteen-thousandth of second
and maximum error of thirty-thou-
sandths of a second per day That
means that it does not vary more than
y half second a month, or six seconds
year.
Compare this with the first pocket
timepiece, the animated egg of NJ
remberg," which required winding
twice day and varied an hour and q
half in the same time! Compare it
with some of the highest priced
watches manufactured today, which
often vary more than ten seconds a
week, and you will have some idea Of
the refinements in the science of meas
uring time. Yet even this accuracy is
surpassed by some famous timepieces,
If the trade magazines are to be be-
lieYed. There have been accounts in
xthem of clocks or watches that have
varied less than a second in periods as
long as ten years.
The clock at the University of Co
lumbia is an astronomical clock 1t is
surrounded by glass case in which a
partial vacuum is maintained. and in
order that the case may not be opened
or disturbed the winding Is done auto
set up in room especially constructed
to keep it free from jar or vibration.
The temperature and barometric con-
ditions are maintained practically con-
slant, and every possible precaution is
taken to minimize the errors of the
running mate.-New York World

UNIQUE SIS GOLD PIECES.
Design Depressed In New Coinage In
stead of Raised.


The minis at Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco and Denver recently began coin
ing new five dollar gold piece struck
on different plan from any hereto
fore coined in the world. It follows
an idea expressed to President Roose-
welt by DR.. William Sturgis BigeIow
Of Boston that to permit the coins being
piled to uniform height high or
strong relief might be obtained by de-
pressing the design below the field or
face Of the coin instead of raising it
above, as usual In all coming opera
tions
This would provide fat field and
uniform thickness, the fiat surface
taking the wear and protecting the re-
lief, the shape of the depression fol-
lowing the outline of the relief The
same design will be used on the $3.50
pieces, and all will bear ''In God We
Trust
While never applied to coins, the
countersinking relief is one of the old
est forms Of sculpture in stone.

NINETY-EIGHT HORSES DEAD
Man May Have Persisted in St. Paul
Livery Stable Fire.

Man May Have Perished in St. Paul
Livery Stable Fire.
One man probably was burned to
death, ninety-eight horses were Gre
mated and number of valuable car
riages destroyed and near panic
started in the Angus hotel by a fire
which destroyed the livery stable of
John G.. Shea at st. Paul.
Sensational escapes were made by
fourteen men who slept in the build
ing, but as one man, Olaf Johnson, is
missing it is believed that he per-
ished in the flames.
The Angus hotel is very near the
livery stable and the fire burned with
such rapidity that it nearly caused a
panic among the guests and but for
the cooler heads some must have
been injured in the rush for the open
air.

Professor Newcombe on Aviation.


Professor Simon Newcomb, astrono-
mer. has interesting views with re-
spect to the problems of aviation. He
rules out the possible use Of dirigible
balloon for any more serious military
purpose than accommodating With re-
spect to the aeroplane, such as is en-
ployed by the Wright brothers. he has
little faith in its solving the problem
Of air flight. He shows that the heav-
Ter than air machine cannot be stop

CINE yet built by human skill, much
less the delicate motors necessary in
