CUBA LOTTERY TO
 DO BUSINESS HERE

Havana, July 19.-Cuba's first Con- gress under the restored republic ad- 3ourned after an almost continuous
 session of five months. It was. how ever, only toward the end of the ses- sion that the few important bills
 which managed to get through both houses were ready to receive the Pres idential signature.
 Among the most important bills
 which Gomez signed was that creat-
 ing the, National Lottery. This bill went through only at the last moment,
 the long delay being due to the, usual the question of who should receive the
 much-coveted post of director of the lottery. The most conspicuous can didate was Morua Delgado, the negro finally appointed by President Gomez but resigned on discovering that Sec retary of the Treasury Villegas, of whose department the lottery is to be a bureau. had distributed among his friends some of the choicest positions
 connected with the office.
 The Government expects to sell about S. 100000 worth of tickets an- nually and to obtain a net profit of $2, ,00O, 900. Brokers here report that ders for tickets from the United States, which they will attempt to fill in defiance of the efforts of the Unit ed States postal authorities to prevent lAlC HUI AOo0CtAOA Ol llCkSlS lhLo Iu6 country.
 It is expecte1 that the first drawing will take place early in September. The drawings will be held, as in Span ish times, publicly in the Treasury Building. The old Spanish apparatus also will be used. with the curious al- teration that, instead of the globes containing the numbered balls being revolved by hand, they wil1s" be actuated by a small electric motor, which is supposed to furnish an addi- tfonal guarantee of the absolute fair ness of the operation. As formerly the numbered balls as they fall from the globes. will be handled by small boys from the Ornhan Asylum
 The very first law to be passed by Congress was declared unconstitution- al when submitted to the Supreme Court. This was a purely political measure, to take the appointive DOW CT away from the Alcaldes of iffuHicfc palities and vest it in the Councils, the latter being overwhelmingly Hb- eral while many of the Alcaldes, ir- cluding that of Havana, are Conser- vatives.

EDDIE MADIGAN
 PLANS 'sBIG TIME" Z FOR "WEBER DAY''

Besides the delegations that are com- ing from out of town to Weber Day at Steeplechase Island next Friday, a large number of local parties are being formed to enjoy together the festivi- ties of the occasion. There will also
 be many bathing parties, for the tide
 will be favorable for afternoon bath
 ing. The plan of friends making up
 parties to go to the island together for the day will make the outing more enjoyable. Mothers and children can go there in the afternoon and be join ed in the evening by their husbands.
 Edward J. Madigan, the George M. Conan of Bridgeport, who is manag- ing steward for MT Weber, is in charge of the entertainment program. His experience in that direction is ex- tensive and with the full Wheeler & Wilson band, two orchestras, a. vau- deville troupe, a colored troupe of cake tests, athletic events, water sports, cake walks, ticket trophies for the bridge gate, the roller coaster, the Royal Gorge, etc, at his disposal, he will provide continuous amusement of an unprecedented order at the island.
 More fun for a. dime than has been offered to the public at any other time in this city is the aim of MT. Weber and Manager Madigan, and in arrang- ing for the long list of special attrac- tions expense is made a secondary con- sideration. Weber Day ought to be the biggest day of the season at the island and if an abundance of special attractions, for which no extra charge will be made, counts for anything, the event should be highly successful. The athletic events will include a boxing exhibition, 100 yard dash and 300 yard dash. The prizes to be awarded will be first class and all athletes are eli- gible to enter the various contests.

THE STOCK MARKET

(Watson, Alpers &~Co.)
 We are disposed to think that the signs of du1lness incident to the sea- son of heat and lassitude are mista- ken for unfavorable symptoms. On the contrary the dullness is normal and the underlying strength shown by prices in the circumstances represents a confidence persisting through the period of waiting for final Crop results and the termination of the tariff dis cussion at Washington. It is only natural that when the crop moving season fully opens there should be somewhat higher rates for monetary accommodations. But these will be in themselves symptomatic of the guarantee of expanding prosperity which is the foundation of bull argu- -neres and expectations. Therefore, until fundamentals show evidence of adverse change, our view is that it is reasonable to look for only limited re- actions and that these should be avafled of for purchases in anticipa- ton of a natural response in prices if the bright prospects now before us are turned into actual realizations.

A bed bug crawling on your children's clothes

A bed bug crawling on your children's clothes when away from home does not speak we'll of that home, but instead gives to your friends a lasting impression of neglect and carelessness in that home and is often whispered around among other friends of the family. Such un- pleasant comment could have been avoided if you had used Cyrus Presto Killer for Bedbugs. The cost is only 9 cents and would have effectually cleaned the. bed.
