Gambling in Cuba,

American influence has brought
about some important changes in Gu
ban customs and notably in the aboli-
ton of the bull ring and the cock pit,
which used to be the chief Sunday at
fractions of the populace. Not few
of the better class of Havanese desire
the same fate for Jai Alai and would
rejoice to see the Fronton closed for
ever. High and low wager immoder-
ately on this game and many stories
OF ruined regulations and wrecked
businesses are connected with it.
Every race has its prevailing vice and
its comparative freedom from others.
The Cubans are incurable gamblers,
but drunkenness is virtually unknown
among them. writes C.. H. Forbes
Lindsay in the World To-Day. Both
sexes in Havana spend great deal Of
time in the numerous open air cafes.

Insurance License Revoked.

Denver.-The Colorado insurance
department Monday revoked the state
license OF the Maryland Casualty Com.
pany, one OF the largest concerns OF
the kind In the country, of which John
T. Stone is president. This prohibits
the company from doing any further
business in Colorado unless 1t applies
for new license and submits to an ex.
animation In the regular way.
The trouble with this company arose
over It's refusal to permit an examina.
ton Of its books by the Colorado de-
partment This was desired from the
fact that the company had been re.
ported as doing large overhead bus
mess or In other words had written bus.
mess through outside agents, thus
evading the payment of commissions
and taxes In Colorado. After being
given twenty-five days in which to
show cause why it's license should not
be revoked, the company still refused
to permit examination and secured an
Injunction from the District Court In
Denver to prohibit the Colorado com.
missioner from inspecting tho books.
This injunction was quashed Saturday
and Monday the company withdrew all
action from the District Court. The de-.
partment then revoked its license.

The Attraetiveness of Cuba.

With the recent extension of rail-

the neighborhood of Havana, and they
are learning that the provinces offer
even greater attractions than the
capital. All the principal cities are
picturesque and interesting, and each
has distinctly individual characters.

Indians May Study Farming.

Fort Collins.-The United States is
looking into the question OF educating
the Indians to become scientific farm
ers, and It is possible that as a result
of the Investigations being made by
the Indian bureau the Colorado Agri-
cultural College will profit in the an in
creased number of students, who will
come from the tribes OF Southern Col
orado AMI New Mexico.
The present inquiry is the result OF
the work done by the farmers short
course in January. when three
Apaches from New Mexico attended.
Charles c. Dagnett, supervisor OF In
dian employment, writes the college
registrar for full information concern
ing the courses, the cost of tuition and
living and other facts Of interest to
students. The department is giving
the matter OF scientific farming ed
ucation for the Indians considerable
attention, and the Colorado Agricul-
tural college. being nearest the great
western reservation, is expected to be
selected as the place for training the

Mining Company Liable.

Denver.-Nnmerous decisions Of in.

did not cover any decisions of sweep.
ing Importance. Nothing was heard
from the court relative to the railroad
commission bill, which litigation has
. been fully argued and Is in the courts
hands.
In an opinion written by Justice
Bailey, the verdict of the lower court
was sustained in case where Mrs.
Rosa l.. Bruner had recovered $4,000
from the Hotchkiss Mountain Mining
& Reduction Company, for the death
of her son. Arthur Bruner was killed
by falling rock while climbing ladder
in the Black Crook mine. operated by
the above mentioned company. The
evidence indicated that the company
knew of the dangerous condition of the
mine when it allowed Arthur Bruner
and his brother to enter it. The opin-
says:
This company sent the two young
men into veritable death trap with
out giving them one word of warning
as to the dangerous conditions. The
rule that the employer must furnish
an ordinarily safe place in which the
employe is to work was so flagrantly
violated In this case as to leave the de-
fendant In no position to complain. Un.
der any conceivable theory either of
fact or II law defendant was guilty of
the grossest negligence and as a con-
sequence must pay the penalty, In so
far as money can be made TO pay for
