the United States. he said today. The re-
cent trouble in Cuba, which was heralded
throughout this country as revolu-

Of the new government, was nothing
more than the capture Of six desert

I look FOR great developments in Cuba

prosperous and the people contented

force and such allegations OF removal
from the plaintiffs house to the alder
mans office and TO Georgetown. In
view Of this Mr. Richards argued that
there must be a special plea filed by
the plaintiff and not a general repli-
cation.
After argument was heard on both
sides the court ruled that a general
replication was not sufficient.
The plaintiff was arrested by Cover
dale and was tried before Reed. II is
alleged that Reed had no authority TO
issue the warrant or TO impose a fine

ment in front of her property was

MAY PEPPER R-VANDERBILT
 AT SPIRITUAL ACADEMY.
Attracted Large Audiences at Both
 Services.

Mrs. May Pepper Vanderbilt the noted psychic, was the speaker Sunday morning and evening at the Spiritual ist academy on Park street and in the evening had an interested congre- Gation that filled the academy. After the opening exercises, President Will liam F. Rogue introduced the speaker, who dwelt at length upon the devel- opment of thought as referred to spir- itu2lism, reasoning that as now in the natural world we were coming to an understanding of life as never be- fore until we had reached wireless telegraphy, but we are laughing at this wireless telegraphy with the spir- itual world, but when we laugh we throttle and put the lie upon evolu- tion in the spiritual world. The great thought is that we are the receivers of these wonderful wireless messages and for us to live that our bodies will be the fit temples for their reception, and we shall find our loved ones sitting at our tables
 In this connection, Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt indicated her detestation of the practice of eating pig, which she said would surely produce human hogs, and veal she also decried. By living nearer to nature and nearer to God. we will be giving the helping hands we have been asking God to
 
 give. It's always been easy to kneeI down and pray for the things we are too stingy to do ourselves, but theol- oSy has taught us to pray that way Away with all denominational tags and let us live only for humanity, working for the universal freedom of the soul. the universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
 Her address was followed by a large number of interesting messages One spicy point was reached when one man in the audience who had a hard time recognizing William" got the spirit message that he was an old skeptic anyway and didn't believe in any thing" The same man got the odd Fellows grip from the medium and she told him he knew what she meant, but he didn't dare to say so. Practically all of the messages were recognized but there were two references to wheels that failed to find any point of contact with her audience

MARINE WORKERS STRIKE
 ON THE GREAT LAKES.
The Question to Be Placed Entirely in
 President O'Connor's Hands.

Cleveland. O.. May 23.-Upon the de- cisiOn of T. V. O'Connor, president if the International Longshoremen's as sociation, now depends whether the members of that organization will join in the marine workers strike on the Great Lakes. Delegates from fifty-six locals along the lower lakes voted here today to place the strike question en- tirely in O'Connor's hands. He is at liberty to call a strike whenever he desires without converting the execu- tive board or giving notice to anyone.
 President O'Connor is undecided yet what he will do.
 Tt is a big question to decide" he said tonight. If a strike is called about 24,000 men will be affected I cannot say now what I shall do." \
 President O'Connor refused td dis cuss what the demands of his men would be if they went out on strike. The strike, if called, would be more than a sympathetic one, however, he said.
 If Mr. O'Connor is guided by the sentiment of the workers the strike will be declared in a few days, officers of the various locals believe.
