Cain Stays Brother.
Cain had a brother and in fit of
jealousy slew him. He couldn't have
inherited jealousy from his parents.
They were created innocent. What On
earth was there for them to be jealous
Of? There wasn't another man or
woman on earth so far as they had
heard. The only jealousy known to
them was that which cried out from
on high. II am jealous God and will
have no other gods before me-" When
Cain and Abel gave their burnt offer
ings. or the fruits of the garden. de-
cided preference was shown Abel. If
Cain inherited the jealousy of his
grandfather how could he see his
brother put before him in all things
and not become jealous and angry with
the terrible wrath of jealousy.
Cain was told to at once change his
environment and was cursed with a
curse that surpasses all the curses ev-
er visited upon man. The Creator Of
earth, the One who was said to make
the sweet dews of heaven fall impair
TALLY upon both the just and the I'M
Just, decreed that wherever and when
ever this boy titled the soil nature
should fail to respond. Neither sun,
nor rain, nor dew. nor the rich loan

yield one iot of food or drink or raj

Are We Drifting Backward?

Whatever may have been the reason why the
Commercial Club did not provide some sort of
entertainment for the Cleveland delegation yes
terday, the fact remains that Richmond the
only town on the schedule which did not show
the visitors some kind of hospitality.
The officers of the Commercial Club are de-
Tending their action by the fact that formal
acceptance had been received by the club further
than the arrival and departure of the delegation
and the personnel of the party. The officers of
the club had received definite information that
a delegation from the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce would visit Richmond from o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the afternoon,
the same information which every other city
along the route received.
The history of booster delegations is that
there is little time for formal action of any kind.
When Richmond started out on its booster trips,

that the state has jurisdiction over

ted OF the crime for which he was
extradited from New Hampshire. lie
argued that the state be directed 10

Twenty Men Killed and Huge
Hole Blown in Steamers
Bottom When Internal Ma
chine Commences to Work.

New York. March i5.--An eye wit
ness story OF the destruction OF the
Mexican gunboat Progreso in the har-
Dor OF Progreso. Mexico, February 2s.
was brought to New York today by
Captain w. J. Ryan and nine mem-
bers OF the crew OF the Ward line tug
Auxiliar. which had been doing light
erase work In Mexican ports for sew
erai years. according to Captain
Ryan the Progreso was blown up by
what her officers supposed was a
barrel OF butter. Just brought aboard.
I'VE were lying IT anchor a mile
from the gunboat,' Captain Ryan
said. I'VE were looking at the gun
boat at the time of the explosion.
soon as We heard the report and saw
that the Progreso was In distress We
headed for her and took of some OF
her crew. Meanwhile the Progreso's =
officers tried To- steer her into the shat
lows. They did not make much head
way. however. for she sank soon after
the explosion.
Twenty men who were standing
forward around the supposed barrel
Of huttcr were killed By the explosion
and at least that many more we're In
jured The explosion 'ore a big hole
In the Runboat's bottom"
Captain Ryan said the commander
OF the Progreso had been warned that
feeling In Yucatan was high agninst
tho Carranza government which he
reported. When the Progrcso enter
ed the harbur. Captain Ryan said,
she was ordered by the Yucatan
troops to leave. Instead her captain
asked permission 10 take on supplies.
This was given with the result that
the gunboat was blown up by an In
fernal machine hidden IN the sup
plies.
The report that Yucatan had as
serted It's independence of all pres
ent governments In Mexico was con-
nrmod by Captain Ryan. lie said
that Yucatan had now 10000 men un-
der arms to maintain her indcpend-
encc Some OF the alleged plans oi
the Yucatan government. he said,
were unfoldcd To him by party oi
forty. including several influential
residents of Yucatan, transported

AuNiliar.
Il was told by some of the party
Captain Ryan said. that a movement
was afoot IN Yucatan To request th'
United states To recognize Nucatan
independence. Another plan was Ia
establish a protectorate over lucatan
somewhat similar to that exercised
over Porto Rico. II this could be done
without depriying the state of it's SOW
ereignty."
