Miss Ada fSray, who was found des titute and ill In a small cottage on r ... V City Island. New York, has been prac tically disabled hy disease for several years, in fact, ever since her retire ment from the stage. Fifteen or twen ty years ago Miss Gray was one of the most popular actresses In America. She won fame by her fine emotional work in "East Lynne," the only piece In which-she achieved any consider able success. She married Charles Tingay, well known in New York as an actor and writer. At present Miss tlray is occupying a room in Fordham Hospital. She will be taken care of by the Actors' Fund. TO VISIT CENTRAL AFRICA. Mrs. Colcleugh Has Undertaken a Haz ardous Expedition. Mrs. Emma Shaw Colcleugh, a wide ly known clubwoman and writer, has sailed on a trip at which most women would shrink in terror at the mere thought of it. She is bound on an ex ploring tour alone into the heart of Central Africa, to regions where no woman has ever been before. Mrs. Colcleugh is an intrepid traveler, who has seen many parts of the world and hence is quite without fear in her present undertaking. She is a tall, slim, energetic looking woman, the picture of health and endurance. She is a clever writer as weil as a good talker and her letters from Cuba dur ing the months that followed the Spanish war gave some of the best and truest pictures of conditions there turned out by any correspondent. Wants Odd Name Changed. Ervln Pfuhl, a citizen of West Pitts ton. Pa., has filed a petition in court asking that his name be changed to Folmer. The petitioner says he de sires the change because the name he now bears readily lends its aid to the manufacture of various silly attempts at punning, such as "fool" and "full." and besides it is not easily pronounc ed, all of which is very annoying. A Long Way Round. Maria San of Iquitcs, Brazil, desir ing to move to Lima, Peru, has taken a long way to go around. The distance between the two points is only 500 miles, but she is traveling many thous ands. Going down the Amazon to the Atlantic coast she took steamer to New York, whence she is go?ng to the isthmus of Panama and down the Pacific coast of South America to her destination. This three months Jour ney was undertaken to avoid crossing the Andes. Hebrews in India. According to a recent census taken there are 17,180 Hebrews In India. Scarcely one-third of them are Euro pean Hebrews. The rest are descend ants of those who claim to have emi grated to India during the reign of Solomon. i High Lands in Mexico. Fifteen of Mexico's States have cap itals lying 5.000 feet above the sea or more. Of these, ten are above 6,000 and five above 7.000. Two Zacatecas and Pachuca He at an altitude of 8, 000 feet. 2 Prominent Statesmen MAY COME TO WASHINGTON. Sir F. C. Lascelles Mentioned as Prob able British Ambassador. Sir Frank Cavendish lascelles, who. It is said, may succeed Ird I'auncefote as British ambassador the United States, is at present head of the Ilrltlsh embassy to Berlin and a favorite with the kaiser. He is CI v - V i J . A 'Si JA. years old, and for more than forty years has been a member of tae diplo matic service. The principal posts he has filled are those of minister to Hon mania and Persia and ambassador to Russia and Germany. He has occu pied his present position since 1895. Fine Clothes His Hoodoo. Among the possessions of Senator Dietrich of Nebraska are a silk hat and a frock suit. The other day he put the outfit away, he thinks, for go J. The senator, who usually dress es much like a farmer, first wore the regalia named on the day he was in augurated governor of Nebraska. It rained and snowed that day. He wore them a second time when President McKinley was sworn in a second time. It rained heavily. On the day the Rochambeau statue was unveiled ho once more tempted fate and got the full benefit of a shower that inter rupted the exercises. The following Sunday he again arrayed himself, only to be caught in a heavy thunderstorm Now he has laid away his suit and hat. convinced that they act as a hoo doo. WILL KEEP HIS OLD CABINET, Premier of Ontario Finds All His Min isters Re-Elected. George W. Ross, premier of Ontario, whose liberal government was re turned to power in the recent election, will be surrounded by his old cabinet during the new term. All the minis ters were re-elected. The liberal victory is regarded as a vindication. The liberals have been in power for thirty years and the con servatives declared the government was corrupt and one of their election cries was: "It is time for a change." The liberals were led by Premier Ross and the conservative leader was James P. Whitney. Bound to Have Their Due. A Swiss lady from Chaux-de-Fonds recently went to live with her son at Morteau. across the French frontier, where she died. When the coffin cov ered with artificial wreaths, was brought into Switzerland, a custom house official claimed duty on the wreaths, and after a deal of contro versy the sum of two francs was de manded and paid. A Maddening Legacy. A young man in St. Mende was driv en mad by a legacy of 4,000. From the moment the money came Into his possession he was oppressed by the fear of losing it, and always carrieu it about with him. He finally made a bonfire of it in the lorm of notes and then attempted to blow out his brains. Mysteries of Sleep. A physician mentions the case of a man who could be made to dream of any subject by whispering about it into his ear while he slept, and it Is a familiar fact that persons who talk in their sleep will frequently answer questions if spoken to softly. Egyptian Hoes. Bas relief drawings found in Egypt show the queer hoes used by the Egyptians. Found Only in China. The king Is the favorite musical instrument in Chinese temples. In its most perfect form it consists of a number of large fiat stones of differ ent shapes and tones. The sound is that of a chime of bells, and is sin gularly clear and musical. The stones are said to be a peculiar variety of basalt found in the mountains to the north of China. Makes Artificial Marble. A Danish inventor has discovered a method of making artificial marble of such delicate transitions of tirt that it is impossible to distinguish it from the natural product. it v.f i n rax 1 PP MliMIIMIMtliMllliiiiO People and Events m m FPPPPPPPPPPPFFPPP NEGRO RACE 18 DYING OFF. Ere Many Years the Africans Will Have Disappeared From Cuba. There is every indication that the negro question will settle itself in Cuba. In a report on the vital stalls tics of Havana and Guanahacas MaJ- Gorgas, a physician as well as a sol dier, says that during the month of January in those cities the natlvo whites showed an excess of 188 births over deaths, that is, the figures were 457 and 269, whereas the native ne groes showed an excess of 5S deaths over birth that is to say, the figures were 128 and 70. The figures for the year 1901 are even more significant. During the twelve months the native whites gained 1,740 and the native ne groes lost 513, making a total gain for the natives of 1,227 Inhabitants. The deaths of foreigners brought the difference down to exactly one. al though it must be remembered that the number of foreigners dying indi cates that the city is gaining rapidly in population by immigration. If thi3 keeps up for a reasonable length of time there will soon be no negroes left in Cuba. INSPECTS GERMAN ARSENALS. Rear-Admiral O'Neil Has Special Invi tation from Emperor William. Rear-Admiral Charles O'Neil, who. upon the personal invitation of Em peror William, will visit, with a spe cial escort, all the shipbuilding yards and arsenals of Germany, is now in Berlin as a delegate to the interna tional shipbuilding convention. He is one of the most distinguished officers of the navy, and since 1897 has been chief of the naval bureau of ordnance. The admiral entered the navy in 1861 as master's mate on the Cumberland, and was present at the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clark in August of that year. He fought in the famous engagement with the Merrlmac in 1862 and on that occasion ' rescued Lieut. Morris from drowning. He was pro moted to the rank of rear admiral in April, 1901. SAILS TO HELP BICYCLISTS. South African Man the Inventor of Useful Contrivance. As all other motors have been ap plied to the bicycle, it would have been very strange if the sail had been omitted the sail, the oldest of mo tors, the invention of which an Egyp tian tradition ascribes to Isis, who, weary of the slow progress of her row ers, snatched off her veil and allowed the wind to distend it. S. G. Smith, of Bloemfontein, devised a yacht bicycle, with a lateen sail which, with a favor able wind, would sometimes go for hours without the aid of pedals, and these vehicles were quite fashionable among South African sportsmen be fore the Boer war broke out. Twenty-five years ago a very similar machine was devised and essayed in France. Numerous have been the at- tempts to use sails on wheeled ve hicles. The earliest contrivance of the sort, probably, was the "flying coach" devised by Don Jose Roscasa. a Spanish officer of artillery, in 1892. This was a boat, with masts and sails, mounted on three wheels. It also had cranks, so that it could be driven by hand. It was therefore a motor-tricycle with a compound motor. Limits Fees of Physicians. By a legal decision the Paris courts have just settled that $2 is an or dinary fee for the visit of a doctor in Paris. A man and his wife called in a woman doctor, whose bill was afterward made out at a rate of $4 for the first visit and $2 for the oth ers. A lawsuit followed and the court gave Judgment In favor of the pa tients, saying that $2 is the custom ary fee in Paris for people in medium station of life. Used Strong Language. Congressman Haon of Pennsylvania rose to a question of personal priv ilege a day or two ago, and in the course of his remarks said that the men who had been circulating a cer tain report about him had hearts "as black as the soot in the innermost flues of heil." Walter Scott's Deficiencies. Scott is said to have written "Wav- erley" in less than six weeks. He wrote very rapidly, seldom revised, and as a consequence his novels are full of blunders, inaccuracies and anachronisms. Plague Rages Unabated. The plague is still raging in the East to such an extent that it causes tens of thousands of deaths every month in Inaia. Medical science seems to be at a loss in coping with this hor ror. Land in New South Wales. Of the 199 million acres which make up New South Wales almost three mil lion are water, and 22,700,000 are mountains and sterile lands. Commoner Extracts from W. 1,1,1, 4-.;..x-:-:"H"H"t--i 1 1 TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Your attention is respectfully calkd to that poitlon of the Shen.iaa anti trust law which declares cinninal any onspiracy in restiaint of trade and names a penalty therefor. You will notica that the law reads: "Every per son who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conrpire with any other person or person3 to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations, shall (not MAY) be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be pun ished by a fine not exceeding $3,000, or by Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court." You are the chief executive ?f this nation and as such are not only em powered, but are required, to enforce the law. By commencing a civil ac tion against the members of the beef trust you declare that the members of that trust are in your opinion guilty of a violation of the law. Why do you hesitate to commence a criminal ac tion? The penalty fixed in the statute is insignificant compared with the pen alty prescribed for a violation of less important statutes. When a man vio lates the internal revenue laws there is no hesitation about prosecution, al though the license fee is small and the fine for selling without license heavy in proportion to the crime. If the members of the beef trust hive raised the price of meat one cent per pound, they have laid a tax of millions of dollars upon the people of the United States, and it means an enor mous profit to themselves. A fine of $5,000 is insignificant, and a year in the penitentiary would be small pun ishment compared with that which is given to a man who steals a horse or a hundred dollars. Why do the members of the beef trust escape crim inal punishment? Is it because of their respectability? If the doctrine of equal Thts to all and special priv ileges to uone applies to the adminis tration of justice, there can be no such thing as respectability among those guilty of a violation of the laws of the country. Does tneir wealth thleld them? Certainly no one wi'l justify the raild treatment of a ricr. -.rimiual and the harsh treatment of a poor one. Are they favored because of the polit ical influence they exert? Surely the republican party has fallen from its first estate if rich trust magnates can violate the law with impunity and defy the authority of the United States. Imperialists have placed the dollar above the rights of the Filipinos, but will your administration show partial ity in the enforcement of the law in the United States because of the busi ness interests or political contribu tions of those who conspire against the welfare cf the public? It is publicly stated that some of the capitalists have condemned you for at tempting to enforce the anti-trust law even by civil process; it is even hint ed that they threaten to oppose your re-nomination if you show the strenu- ousness in this direction that you have shown toward the Filipinos, but can you be scared by such threats? You have shown physical courage and brav ery upon the battlefield you were not afraid of bullets when any one of them might have taken your life; will you now fear to face concentrated wealth? Civil suits may annoy the "captains of industry," but if you are going to "shackle cunning" you will have to shackle it with criminal laws. A prison cell will prove more effective in the prevention of monopoly than judgments or decrees for the payment of money. You have a chance to show that you were in earnest when you made that Minneapolis speech so far yo't have not convinced even your friends. The section of the federal statute quoted above has already been referred to in The Commoner, and is reproduced for emphasis. It will be reproduced again and again, not only that you may know the law, for you are presumed to know it, but that the people may be reminded of it also. They- have no reason for feeling more kindly toward the members of the beef trust than they do toward other vio lators of the law, and they will not accept any excuse which you may give for dealing tenderly with a few rich packers who conspire against the whole people. In his message to the Cuban senate President : Palma stated: "Together with our own heroism is the attitude of the great people, impelled by their own love of liberty, to put themselves on our side in our tenacious fight for the independence of the country. Their motive was sprung from a generous sentiment, pure and disinterested in its origin. Impelled by this sentiment, the powerful republic of the north rec ognizes through its Illustrious presi dent, the republic of Cuba. The prom ise formally made has been carried out. In this moment, when we feel our right as an independent nation, it is impos sible to suppress our gratitude to the United States. To recognize this debt of gratitude to the great nation is an act which exalts us and which makes us worthy of the consideration and re spect of the other, nations of the world." Every time a tribute is paid by the Cubans to the United States, because of the attitude of this govern ment toward the new republic, the American people are reminded of their humiliation with respect to the Philip pines. Would it not be gratifying to the American people if the Filipinos could pay us the tribute which the Cubans do at this time? A twenty million dollar pie bill passed the senate in forty minutes. A measure of simple Justice to a people struggling for liberty cannot secure an Introduction to the senate. Pie, not justice, is what the majority party is after now. Ollie James, a big-bodied, big brained and big-hearted Chicago plat form democrat, has been nominated for congress in the Paducah, Ky.. dis trict. He will be heard from in Wash ington, and. like WTieeler. he will be on the people's side of every public question. For years It has been customary for the general commanding the army to officiate as secretary of war in the absence of the secretary. WTien Sec retary Root prepared to leave Wash ington the old custom was abrogated and a bureau official designated to act in his place. Why? Because General Miles is the general commanding the army and would have performed the duties of the secr-tary during Mr. Root's absence. Such action, however, does not lower General Miles in the estimation of just men, a statement of fact that does r.ot apply to some others whose names might be mentioned. Comment, J. BryaiVs Paper. frCii i-4m..x-:-4-x:X":-v'X-4'-:41 "BUSINESS INTERESTS" IN CUBA. In discussing the new Cuban gov ernment a prominent republican of the united States, writing for the New York Journal, said: "If liberty and stability are to be maintained they must be maintained in the first In stance by those who have vested busi ness interests to conserve and who could not afford to take any chances that might result in further revolu tionary or chaotic conditions. In another part of his article he said: "The men who led the Cuban revolution were necessarily compelled to draw almost wholly for their flKht- lng force upon those who had no busi ness interests to conserve and who, without offense, may be said to be the least fitted for intelligent participation in public affairs," and he expressed a fear that the Cubans "will inevitably resent a political organization which gives the greater part of the power to those who were not actively in sym pathy with the revolution, or who were compelled for the protection of their business interests to suppress the manifestations of their sympathy and to hold themselves aloof from the or- , ganized movement directed against the Spanish power." This has all the ear-marks of a re publican opinion. Through it runs the spirit of commercialism so manifest in all that republican leaders say and do. Where, except in republican argu ments, can be found authority for the statement that a business man who preferred a monarchy to a republic. or who, if he sympathized with the re public, suppressed his sympathies for business reasons, is more fit to be trusted with the administration of gov ernment than one who risked his life to secure the blessings of free govern ment? The incidents at the Ohio republican convention indicate very clearly that there is a strong determination in cer tain quarters that Mark Hanna shall become the republican candidate for president in 1904. Some of the repub lican papers that are not friendly to Mr. Hanna lay great emphasis on the fact that the convention in its plat form indorsed the administration of Mr. Roosevelt. There is no significance whatever in this fact. The convention did not dare to adjourn without indors ing the national administration; but the fact remains that there was a very- strong sentiment for Mr. Hanna's nom ination in 1904; and every man who gives intelligent observation to the political situation must understand that, judging from the situation of to day, the contest for the republican nomination of 1904 will be between Theodore Roosevelt and Mark Hanna; and it is not too much to say that de spite the prejudice and the predelic tions of Senator Foraker, Oh'o will take the lead in the Hanna boom. Hon. A. E. Randel of Mississippi, who is temporarily residing in Wash ington, D. C, made a visit t Europe not long ago. and while there had an Interview with Baron Rothschild. In the Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, Miss., he quotes Rothschild as saying that but for the recent discoveries of goli in South Africa. Mexico and Alaska, bimetalism would have been necessary to carry on the commerce of the world. The advocates of the gold standard are now willing to admit that but for conditions which they did not foresee in 189G their financial system would have broken down and yet they are as arrogant as if th-iir theories had been vindicated. Senator Beveridge is quite sure that the United States will niaice a large amount of money out of imperialism, and he is, therefore, indifferent to the mnral nrincinles involved. His speeches remind one of the philosophy . . i j employed. Dy a coiorea man wnose u vice is set forth In an item which re- tiv nnneared in the Atlanta Con stitution: "You, William!" exclaimed the old man, "what you doin' on dat white man's fence? Ain't you 'fraid you'll fall off?" Then, after a mo ment's thought, the old man resumed: "But, ef you does fall off, you might ez well fall on tie side wnar ae watermu- lions is. You hear me, don't you?" Senator Bard writes to a constituent that he is opposed to the election of senators by direct vote or tne people, but that he has not yet decided how he shall vote uDon the resolution sub mitting such an amendment. The peo ple of California one time voted on thia nrnrtfiRitlon. and thev were over whelmingly in favor of the popular election of senators. If Senator Bard does not care to give expression to their wishes, whom, pray, does he de sire to represent? "WTio will haul down the American flag?" shouted the republicans in 1900. Well, since that time a republican ad ministration has hauled down the flag in Cuba and in China. The sooner it is hauled down in the Philippines the better. Yes, we assisted in the organization of a republic, but let it not be forgotten that we have also connived at the de struction of two republics and prevent ed the establishment of another. The books do not yet balance. Republican organs now boast of the increase in the per capita circulation. When a democrat talked about such an increase in the circulating medium every administration organ called him an "inflationist" Tennessee leads off with an indorse ment of the Kansas City platform and the nomination of a strong ticket. headed by Hon. J. B. Frazer, one of the best democrats in the state, rsext! The best evidence that Senator Car- mack preached a gTeat truth is found in the fact that the administration or gans are frantic in their denunciations of him. Senator Allison is against the popu lar election of senators, and yet the legislature of Iowa bas declared for the reform. Mr. Lodge says he will answer In his own time. Of course Mr. Lodge would protest against the administer ing of the water cure for the purpose' of making him speak before he is ready. Some people can never see "the hand of God in it" unless they also see a chance to make money out of it. 'On Memorial day the president de voted one word to dead soldiers and sixteen words to live democrats. There is also a criminal clause in the Sherman anti-trust law, Mr. Knox.

The Man Read it and Died. Senator Beveridge Is a felicitous leter writer . When he takes Fpecial pains with an epistle it is pretty sure to do its work. His communications are celebrated all over the state of Indiana. When the senator's mail came the other day, gossips a Wash ington writer, he noted one envelope with a black border. Wondering which one of his constituents had been bereaved, he opened the letter first. It began thus: "Yours of the 15th Inst, received. My husband read it himself. At 8 p. m. he died of heart failure." INSIST ON OKTTINO IT. Borne KTocers sav they don't keen De fiance Starch.

In New Mexico, that land of queer contrasts, the threshing of our wheat is still done after the manner of the ancients. The threshing ground is swept until it presents a hard, clean surface, the wheat Is piled in the cen ter ready to be thrown beneath the feet of the horses, sheep and goats, which animals are then driven around and around until the grain is separated from the husks. Winnowing is carried on in an equally primitive manner, men and women tossing the crop into the air by shovelfuls, and letting the summer breezes separate it. From Country Life in America.
