: MAIL CLERK STORY
Regulated by Denver Police in Case
of Mrs. Read.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 14.-When
shown a printed story to the effect
that Mrs. Allen F. Read, who attempt
ed to extort money from Mrs Gene
We've Chanler Phipps, by threatening
her life with dynamite, was escorted
to the American hotel on the day OF
her arrival in this city by a railway
mail clerk named E. ]. Sawyer, the
police authorities denied that they
were looking for such a man. The
hotel people declare that Mrs. Read
was unaccompanied when she APP
peared at the clerks desk and wrote
the name of Mrs. H. G. Cones" upon
the register.
The condition of Mrs Read is still
critical. Her intimate friends fear
that she cannot recover from the
shock OF her arrest and the effect
of the drug previously taken, upon
her system, already weakened by ois-
ease.

ed by Winchester men and is as good
as the best house that is built, though
the cost was considerably less than
if stone had been used.

will be conducted with all the regard
for law and order which marked the
provincial elections last August. Bot
of the political leaders have given as
surances that they will accept Loyalty
the result Of the popular verdict.
There is practically no difference in
the platform of the two parties, both
having as their chief planks the pres
ervation of the republic, equal rights
for all citizens, the encouragement of
agriculture and commerce and the
maintenance of friendly relations
with the United States The struggle
is frankly for the possession of the
government and the control of public
patronage.
Both General Gomez and General
Menocal are veterans of the revolu-
ton and have large following in vir-
tue of their distinguished services ia
the field. Dr. Montoro is the foremost
orator in Cuba and was nominated in
the expectation of his being able to
control the large Spanish vote, but
he is unpopular with many Cubans
on account of his attitude during the
revolution when he held Office in the
autonomous government in the last
days of Spanish rule.
Senior Zayas is the idol of a large
section of the Liberals He was the
leader Of the last uprising against
President Thomas Estrada Palma
The result of the election will per-
haps not be known for several days,
despite the elaborate arrangements
for the prompt forwarding of the re-
turns from 1,49S polling places.

ELECTION IN
CUBA TODAY
Pearl of the Antilles Will Vote For
President-No Trouble is
Expected.

Havana, Nov. 14.-Cuba will today
follow the recent example of her big
sister republic to the north in elect
ing a president Unlike the United
States, however, Cuba has only two
candidates for the Office of chief exec
utive of the island republic. The two
aspirants for the presidency of Cuba
are General Mario Menocal, candidate
of the Conservative party. and Gen
eral Jose Miguel Gomez, head of the
Liberals. Their running mates are
respectively DR.. Rafael Montoro and
Alfred Zayas. The nomination of
Senior Zayas for the vice presidency
is the result of a coalition of the Mi
guelista and Zayasta factions of the
Liberal party, the two men having
formerly been bitter political foes.
They have buried the Ratchet, at
least temporarily, in a united attempt
to down the common enemy, the Con-
servatives.
There is no doubt that absolute
fairness will characterize the cleo
ton, about which every safeguard
has been cast by the provisional gov
eminent, in accordance with an elab-
crate election law framed by the ad
visory commission, of which Colonel
Crowder Is chairman. The balloting

COMMITTEE FOR
new FIRE WAGON
Department viii Urge on Council i'm
mediate Action.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Winchester Fire Department was
held at their rooms Friday night
Chief A. R. Baldwin presided and a
good number Of firemen were pres
ent.
After the routine business was
transacted, the matter of purchasing
new hose wagon was discussed.
1t was reported that the one now in
use is in a bad condition and unsafe
for the firemen to ride on. The com
mittee appointed to investigate the
matter of purchasing an automobile
hose wagon had little to report. Mr..
Baldwin stated that he had been en-
deavoring for several monts past to
get the Councilmen to purchase a
new wagon but that so far he had
been Aunable to accomplish anything.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to get first a new wagon for
the central station and then through
the aid of the Council have the old
one repaired and placed in the North
end of the city where, owing to the
growth of that end of the town, III
is very necessary.
To obtain some thing definite from
the Council and especially the fire
committee, the committee, composed
Of w. P. Winn, James A. McCourt
and John Harding, appointed at the
October meeting to investigate the
matter of purchasing an automobile
hose wagon were directed to arrange
For a meeting with the fire, commit
tee of the Council, at the earliest
possible moment at the engine house,
show them the old wagon and the
condition it is in, see if they are will
ing to get a new wagon or not and re-
port backs at called meeting next
Friday night.
OF late quite a number of young
men and boys who are not members
of the department have been jump
ing on the wagons as they go out of
the house to fire, keeping firemen
off and the chief ordered the driv-
ers to stop whenever anyone not a
member jumped on and put him off
and statd that he would prosecute
them hereafter.
There are now fifty-one members
on the active list of membership.

The Ancient Cities.

The ancient cities of Sodom and
Gomorah, were probably situated in
the northern shore of the Dead sea.
1t is said that Abraham lifted up his
eyes and saw the cities of the plain,
which he could not have done, had
these cities been at the southern end
of the sea, as is claimed by some.
The wickedness of these cities had
become SO great, that even God had
lost patience with them. There is a
boundary line to Gods patience and
mercy. The statute books of our
State still attest the memory of the
unspeakable sin of these cities.
The people of these cities had been
given frequent warning and ample
opportunity to repent. Warning is
often multiplied before destruction
comes. Every man and woman has
had chance. Alexander had his
chance to have lived and died an
honored man, but he crucifed his
chance and died a hopeless drunk
ard. Caesar had his chance, and
might have lived and died loved and
honored by his countrymen, but he
missed his chance, and was murder
ed by those whose fortunes he had
made. Charles Stewart Parnell had
his chance to have forever lived, as
the idol of Erin. He despised vir-
tue, missed his chance and died bro

Gods Voice Will Be Heard.


Gods voice will be heard, even in
the death-rattle, of those who hate
him. The English laughed at Pat
rick Henry, but they heard him in
the laundering of American cannon
and in the groans of their dying.
Lochiel, the proud Scottish warrior,
refused to listen to the voice of warn
ing, but ere the nightfall the blood of
his best soldiers had stained the
wild flower Of the battlefelds.
We may live without religion, but
we cannot die without it. We may
act the part of the brave in life, but
without Christ we play the coward
in death. No Drawer man than Ma
polean, probably ever lived, but he
shrank in AFFECT fear in the presence
Of death. Turning from the tomb of
this proud child Of Corsica, with the
memories of his life and death still
upon me, / turned my steps far
across the sea. AS the sun was set

the northern gate of Jerusalem. As

had lived for others, and then died,
that others might live. / see him,
his hands nailed to the cross; and
hear him as he sweetly murmurs in
dying, Father into thy hands l COM
mend my spirit" Napolean's death,
is that of the man without Christ; the
death of Christ, is the dying of the
Christian.
As Sodom was destroyed, so shall
every soul, that trusts not in the
living God. There is no use to say,
81 do not believe in hell" 1t would
be better to say, ~ do not believe in
the Bible" We ridicule the idea of
the world being burned up. As a
matter of fact the world is already
on fire. have gazed upon the fires
of Vesuvius, that have been steadily
burning for more than two thousand
years. Everlasting fire is an easy
thought to one who has looked upon
Vesuvius.
They were commanded not to look
back. Mrs. Judge Lot, who was one
of Sodom's society's leaders, looked
back and was turned to a pillar of
salt. 1t takes a good deal, of salt to
save the average society woman.
Many look back at their habits. /

not greater than any habit.
