CUBAMS CELEBRATE
NEW INDEPENDENCE

Havana. Jan. 30.-A a new era Of Gu
ban independence dawned today, when
the affairs OF the island, which have
been administered by American off,
cials for more han two years as a re-
suit OF the revolution against former
President Palma, in 1906, were for
mally transferred to the newly elected
native executives. The coming of this
new day of Cuban liberty was signalled
by n general display of fireworks at
midnight. The streets of the city, bril-
liantiy illuminated and garlanded with
chains of incaf,descent bulbs. were
thronged until an early hour this morn
ing. The carnival spirit everywhere
prevailed.
The ceremonies of today began al
most with the break Of dawn. They
viii not end until long after nightfall.
The inaugural parade, in which only
native troops, civil organizations and
rural guards participated passed under
a magnificent triumphal arch erected
i'm Monserrate square, n was re-
viewed by President Gomez.
General Gomez took the oath OF Of
flee as president of the republic at
noon. Within an hour thereafter, pro-
viSional Governor Magool n all the
army officers who served in an eXecu-
i've capacity were bound out of the
harbor for home.

A point ! always insist upon is an I'M

ers to the bosom. i hate to see that line
broken or fused up with bands and but
tons or any other sort of trimming. 1t
should be long and flat and unmarried. for
1t is the lovliest line In a woman's figure.
/ don't like to see the shoulders fused
UP with trimming. American women like
TO build the shoulders out. The French
women try to make the shoulders look
small. / like that better. Nature intended
women to nave small shoulders. That is
part OF natures plan to maxi women
dainty rather than heroic.
Plain lines on shoulders and upper arms
and long graceful sweep of the skirts are
essentials according to my ideas. / al
ways like TO wear them low In the neck
except for a very smart own That /
like to see finished with a very high
smooth collar, and a square yoke OF trans
parent stuff absolutely untrimmed. A
girdie / like OF the same material as the
dress. 1t leaves the line of height unbrok-
en- and that has to be considered by a
woman who is not tall. A skirt, / think
requires little trimming, better to have
none. The good fit about the hips and the
graceful sweep are the things never to
be forgotten.

very carefully chosen. Fine embroidery
and bits of lace are the best.
The first thing 1 think OF when i order
a gown is its appropriateness for the oc-
casions for which I require 1t. Suitability
or appropriateness should be the first
word In selecting a costume. After that
the color, a very important point. I think
a girl or very young woman should wear
pale shades. They throw into relief the
youthful vividness OF her coloring. AS TO
the colors themselves she should be gov
erned in her choice by the color OF her
eyes rather than that OF the hair.
My london dressmaker taught me that.
She chose all sorts of shades that /
thought a person with red hair could not
wear. She said: 1.-THE hair doesn't much
matter" and j was surprised TO find that
1t is true. A red haired girl can wear al
most any color except a duh shade OF
brown. a kind of biscuit shade which dulls
her hair,

Titonka, Ia. Jan. 2.-This entire com
munity was greatly surprised at the ar
rest Sunday of William Winter for the
murder Of Linn Trimble of Union, and still
more surprised when he made a complete
confession and would not SO much as ask
clemency.
His people reside on a farm neat town
and are very highly respected. His faith
or is comfortably well off, and upon this
son was lavished a great deal of affection.
Today they are broken-hearted, just at
6. time in life when to lean upon a dutiful
son would have been such a comfort to
them. And now since this crime was COM
mitted and a confession made. a great
many recall criminal events of the past
few years, which they readily attribute
to him Whether guilty or not, possibly
may never be known, unless Winter re-
veals the truth.
The father say that for the past two
years he has noticed that his son has been
acting peculiarly strange. While his mind
was poisoned with bad literature his con-
duct at times, according to his father. was
such as to lead him to believe that ment-
ally he has not been well balanced for
some time. He was not ugly about the
home but seemingly needless and thought
less, his mind far away.
Should he be permitted to AVE a trial,
unquestionably insanity will be the plea.

WRECK OF Maine A
NATIONAL REpRoACH.
Magoon Urges That Govern
ment Should Remove 1t
From Havana Harbor.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Governor Ma
goon, OF the provisional government OF
Cuba, in his annual report to the sec
rotary OF war, brings to his attention
the wreck of the United States battle-i
ship Maine in Havana harbor and rec
ommends that the government take i'm;
mediate steps to accomplish it's remov-
al without further delay. He says:
"The wreck OF the Maine continues
to lie in the mud and waters OF Ha-
vana harbor. The sunken battleship Is
a serious n to the shipping of
the harbor as 1t occupies a portion Of
the best anchorage. The obstruction
has increased annually during the past
10 years by causing a shoal.
even more important than this OBJ
struction to navigation Is the fact that
this wreck, although 1t contains the
bodies Of GO American seamen, or what
Is left of them, Is apparently aban-
doned and forgotten by the government
and people Of the United States. Thou
sands Of Americans and other nation
alities annually enter the harbor OF
Havana M probably not n omits to
express regret and censure for the de-
plorable spectacle. 1t has become a
national reproach and an international
scandal.
9TH neglect to remove the wreck II
attributed by many, especially the
large Spanish contingent in Cuba, to
the fear that it's removal will disclose
the fallacy Of the popular belief that
the Maine was destroyed by a torpedo
or mine instead Of al interior explos-
ion; so generally does this opinion pre-
vail that I believe the Cuban govern
ment was deferred thereby from deal
ing with the wreck as an obstruction
to navigation OF it's coastal waters and
DESTROYING it."

this last, and 1t is important, as these

here Is a question Of clasps which needs
to be looked TO by the buyer.
Perfected Locks.
A new lock has been invented which
slips on at each end a good deal on the
principle of a grip clasp and it is this
safeguard that the buyer needs to
make sure of, as the little slender OBJ
long fastening which is put on the
middle by most manufacturers will
come ope at any little knock. One OF
the commonest sights is a woman going
along cheerfully unconscious through
street or shop with its contents open
to the light Of day. Naturally this point
is still important II the bag is to be
carried upside down and deftly tucked
under the arm.
Long Straps Aid Hard Task.

PUT WIDE HENS ON

Clever Housewife Says She
Has Found That It Pays
How to Care for Them.

Every good housewife is interested
in the care OF sheets, and many OF
them will like 10 hear a few sugges-
lions made by an economical and
clever woman
She said: II never have my sheets
made with q small hem on n end.
There is always q three-inch hem on
both ends-so there Is no top or bot
tom-and the sheets wear just twice
as long as they otherwise would. 1t
Is not difficult to do, for / always have
my sheets made in the house by a
seamstress. so they will be the right
size. And speaking of size, do you
know what to do when ready made
linen sheets are too short for the
beds?'
or course, I did not, SO she told me.
that a false hem might be added, n
either fagoted or hemstitched to the
one aIerady on the sheet. In this way
the sheet could be easily made as Ion
as desired, and the embroidery only
added to the beauty of the sheet.
This Is certainly very useful infor-
nation, for many a mother has a tall
BOY who is constantly complaining
that the sheets are too short. The adj
dition Of the false hem is quickly done,
and the extra material required does
not form Il very large item In the
family expense account.

When Cold Breathe Deeply.
From the Family Doctor.

A simple way to get warm after ex-
posure to cold Is to a X a long breath
with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat this
several times, until you begin to feel the
heat returning. 1t requires a very short
time 10 do this. The long breath quickens
the pulse and thus causes the blood to cir
culate faster. The blood flows into all
parts Of the veins and arteries and gives
out a great deai OF heat. 1t is stated that
this method Of deep breathing prevents
colds and q great many other ailments u
begun In time.
