S~~~~~~~~e~e~~s : :

IN tne WOrld, SURPRISING even the Ia
nous dark-eyed and raven-tressed
bellies of Spanish America, is the opin-
ion of Sr. Thomas Estrada Palma,
Cuban racechero and son OF the late
President of the Cuban republic. Nor
is this mere interview flubdub. as af-
fected by visiting notables fishing for
social invitations, blt the expression
of a conviction which will have ro-
! mantle elimination next week when
the Cuban takes as his bride Miss
! Helen Douglas Browne, a daughter of
Mr.. Douglas Lester Burman- n-Browne.
} Of West One Hundred and Seventh
street, City.
Strangely enough, Miss Browne, all
! though distinctly American, was born
in a Spanish-American country, Mex
leo, while Sr Palma, distinctively a
Latin, was born in the United States.
Central Valley. n. Y. was his BIRTH
place, the elder Palma being school
teacher in that town before he re-
turned to Cuba to resume the revolu-
ton which ended in the freedom Of his
country and the selection of himself
as President
We read a lot about the students"
patches indicating that their chief
activity is in rioting, demonstrating
and raising the lower regions gener-
ally. New we shall have an opportu-
nifty to see with our own eyes this
strange Species and judge for our
selves whether they are human. A
hundred genuine students from the
University of Vienna, in black velvet
, jackets, white breeches, gay caps on
their heads and long black boots on
. their tootsies, and armed with ra-
, piers, are on their way to America
and will arrive in this port a week
from tomorrow. Accompanying the
. cutups and sad dogs are a hundred
alumni, presumably to keep them
straight, and also several proud pa
pas and mammas. All of the students
are said to be there with the voice,
and they will give several musical
concerts while on this side.
Felix Adler founder and leader OF
the New York Society for Ethical
, Culture, is fifty-nine years old today.
Our colored brethren of the Ma
tional Negro Business League will
gather in New York next week to
hold their eleventh annual meeting
and talk over trade prospects for the
coming year. That many negroes,
, especially in the South, where they
!, are supposed to be downtrodden, have
made good in a business way and ac-
cumulated much filthy lucre, will be
amply proven by this gathering. DR..
Booker Washington and many other
colored men of prominence will at
,AI n c
! promised to deliver an address.
The distinguished editorial cores
pondent of The Outlook is now hard
at work on the speeches he proposes
to deliver on his tours of the West
and South. Nearly all of the address
es have been dictated, but all will be
; carefully revised. Much significance
will attach to these first formal ut
terances on national questions, and
the former president is weighing each
} word carefully. It may safely be
promised that his trip, beginning the
} latter part of this month, will be
} marked by a trail of verbal bomb
shells.
Following the fashion show" which
is now holding forth at Madison
, Square Garden, a national show de-
: voted to the greatest of indoor
sports, housekeeping, will begin next
Saturday.
A block front on Broadway, in the
upper Forties, will be transferred
Monday to a company of out of town
, ca pitalists and on the site will be er-
ected what the promoters ambitious
ly declare will be the largest restaur-
ant in the whole world. In addition
to the eating house, with a main din
ing room capable of seating 5000
people and several smaller rooms, the
building will contain two theatres, a
skating rink, several stores and au-
tomobile showrooms and upper floors
devoted to offices. The announce
ment of these plans has caused even
blase Broadway to sit up and take
notice.
. When Mr.. ]. Fades How, the mil
lionaire hobo. visited New York re-
Gently, he appointed a committee on
protection for the Brotherhood of the
Unemployed. The members of the
committee, whose duty ii is to prevent
the ''illegal arrest" of comrades and
their railroading to the island as
''vags," are now desirous of resign
ing. AS one of them put it, "How
tell are you goin' to argue with a
cop?" Mr.. How himself is uncertain
as to the answer to this problem, as
he was recently arrested in Phila-
delphia, that wicked city where no.
body cares, just because he attempts
ed to make little speech on the
streets.
The several hundred natives of
Montenegro who are now residents of
New York are preparing for. a great
celebration tomorrow. when their lit
tie fatherland will be elevated to a
kingdom and their prince will assume
the rank of king. Montenegrins are
exceedingly faithful to their native
land and very few of them have be-
, come naturalized Americans.
New Workers who shudder at the
bloodthirsty deeds of the "Apaches"
of Paris might we'll do their shud-
dering over hoodlums nearer at
home. 1t is estimated that there are
; over a hundred gangs" of toughs in
, the metropolis. and many of these
I contain ruffians quite as ferocious as
any French tough. although their
deeds and crimes may lack the pic
, turesque touch of the Latin apache"
, While some of the gangs are compos-
