VOL. XVII. Train Plunges From the Rails to Fearful Destruction. SIXTY TONS-OF MAIL BURNED Great Pile of Wreckage Takes Fire and Only Pullmans Were Left. Two Men Killed and Many Hurt. The northbound limited mail and vestibulé passenger train, No. 38, on the Virginia Midland railway, of the Southern system, was wrecked near Covesville, Va., 12 miles south of Charlottesville, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, by running into a rock slido in a deep cut. The train was late, and was running at a rate of sixty miles an hour. Two mail cars and a baggage car were piled up on the engine, and five sleepers and a club car were derailed. The wreck took fire from the engine, and all but the Pullman cars were completely destroyed. A colored porter, named Nicholas Law, of Washington, and an unknown tramp wore killed. The porter's body was burned to a crisp in the fire. None of the passengers were hurt, but nearly all lost their baggage, and a great deal of their clothing. In the two mail cars were nine postal clerks, and, although the cars were broken to kindling wood, all the clerks escaped without serious injury. Million Pieces of Mail Burned. The mail was entirely destroyed by the fire, and the loss in this respect was the greatest in the history of southern railroad disasters. The clerks had just finished assorting more than a million pieces, composing fully five tons of matter and including several thousand registered pieces of great value. The loss cannot be estimated at the present time, but will amount to many thousand dollars. A greater part of the mail was on its way to Washington and New York. Very little foreign matter was included. Less than a dozen pieces were found lying about after the cars were destroyed. A hospital train was made up at Charlottesville and the injured mail clerks$^o$ were sent on to Washington, where they were taken to a hospital. MAD STRIKERS CAPTURE CARS They Beat Crews, Run Out Passenger, and Take Full Charge—Arrests Are Made. A special from Norfolk, Va., says: Strike sympathizers owned the street car line after 11:30 o'clock Saturday night. At Atlantic City car No. 40, with fourteen passengers aboard, was being run out, several pistol shots were fired, one of them going through the fired, one of the mgoing through the front of the car within a foot of the motorman's head. As the motorman shut off the current and stopped the car, eight men jumped aboard. They beat the crew, ran the passengers from the car and took it to the end of the line, where it was found after midnight with the trolley pole broken. Second Attack Is Made. Car No. 50 was on Church street just as the strikers adjourned from a meeting. The strikers jumped aboard the car, beat the motorman and conductor, causing them to take refuge under seats, chased the only passengers out of the car and took possession. They ran it several blocks down the street, took off the trolley pole and left the car in a dismantled condition. Another car was later missing and no trace of it could be found. The police arrested two persons in connection with the Atlantic City affair. It is reported that the Old Dominion street railway has been sold for $450,000. William L. Elkins and P. A. B. Widener, owners of the Philadelphia Traction Company and of street railway interests in New York and St. Louis, are mentioned as the purchasers. ATLANTA TO HAVE FAIR: Citizens Enthusiastically Decide the Matter at Mass Meeting. Atlanta, Ga., will have an interstate fair this fall fully in keeping with the splendid successes of the past. The fair will include a horse show, races and the incident of pool selling just as in the past. This fact was enthusiastically decided on at a mass meeting held in the council chamber Monday morning at which a majority of the fair association directors and stockholders, together with many of Atlanta's most influential clients, were present. Unless Appeals Meet Favorable Consideration, 140,000 Coal Miners In Pennsylvania Go Out. Advices from Shamokin, Pa., state that unless the efforts of the Civic Federation are effective with the coal operators, it is more than likely that a repetition of the struggle of 1900 will occur in the anthracite region. In that year 140,000 employees of the anthracite mines were out on strike for six weeks. The convention Monday of districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9, United Mine Workers of America, which districts comprise the entire anthracite field, made a provisional strike declaration, leaving the date to be decided by the executive boards of the three districts. This was practically the last official act of the delegates, and the convention adjourned sine die at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The adoption of the resolution contained the ultimatum of the mine workers was followed by a scene of wild enthusiasm and the opera house rang with the acclamation of the delegates who, with lusty cheers, approvate the work of the special resolutions committee and expressed their confidence in President Mitchell. Before completing the draft of the resolution President Mitchell telegraphed the presidents of the coal carrying roads making a last appeal for a conference. The telegram was as follows: "By direction of miners' convention, I wire to ascertain if your company will join other anthracite coal companies in conference with a committee representing the anthracite mine workers for the purpose of discussing and adjusting grievances which affect all companies and employees alike. Please answer." He received several replies, one of which was from President Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Coke Company, and all of them refused to meet the representatives of the unions. Others made no response. This resulted in the formulation of the resolution presented, and, according to President Mitchell, it was adopted without a dissenting vote. The resolution provides for the appointment of a committee by the third district executive board, who will carry the miners' demands to the conciliation committee of the Civic Federation with an appeal to that organization for assistance. WOOD IN WASHINGTON. Military Governor Makes Final Arrangements For the Change in Cuba. General Wood, military governor of Cuba, arrived in Washington Saturday and was the guest of President Roosevelt. The main object of his visit to Washington at this time is to arrange with the president and secretary of war for the transfer of the active control of affairs in Cuba to the Cuban republic. Soon after his arrival in Washington, Governor General Wood went to the war department and had a long talk with Secretary Root regarding the condition of affairs in Cuba. Subsequently the two officials went to the white house and had a conference with the president. The principal arrangements for the military evacuation of the islands will be quickly made. When the general returns to Havana he will be prepared to carry into execution the program fixed by the administration for the formal transfer of government affairs. He will return to Cuba by way of New York, in order that he may meet and consult with President Palma upon the joint program of action. President Palma will be inaugurated on May 1, and American control in the island will terminate on that date. Owing to the short time intervening, and the extent and importance of the work involved, it will be necessary to act promptly. LANDS ARE UNCLE SAM'S. Property Owned By Spain In Porto Rico Belong to Us. A decision by Attorney General Knox, announced a day or two ago, holds that the public lands in Porto Rico formerly belonging to Spain and by virtue of treaty of Paris now belong to the United States. FOUR THOUSAND IN MOB. Sleeping Car Porter Lynched For Assault on Aged Passenger sault on Aged Passenger. At La Junta, Colo., Tuesday night W. H. Wallace, a negro sleeping car porter, was lynched in the court house square, being hanged to an electric light pole by a howling mob of 4,000 people, who had been hunting for him all day. After the hanging the body was riddled with bullets. The negro was lynched for an assault on Mrs. Henrietta H. Miller, aged 67 years, going from Los Angeles, Cal., to Denyes to visit relatives. The deed was committed in the Santa Fe railroad yards Monday night. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 29. 1902 ON MAY TWENTIETH TROOPS WILL BE WITHDRAWN On the Samo Date President Palma Will Be Inaugurated and a New Republic Will Enter A Washington special says: May 20, 1902 is the new date fixed for turning over, the Island of Cuba to its people. The change of date was made, if not at the suggestion, then with the full approval of President-elect Palma and his advisors, Scorsons Tamaya and Quesada, who were with him at the war department Tuesday. This date established a memorable one in Cuban history, for it will not only mark the acquisition of full independence, but will be the Cuban inauguration day, it having been determined that President Palma should be inaugurated on the same day that American control of the island ceases. All but the smallest details of the change in Cuba have been planned, and these remaining details were under adjustment at the meeting held at the war department. Besides Secretary Root, President Palma and Senors Tamaya and Quesada, General Wood attended. The meeting occurred in the secretary's office. Besides the final selection of May 20 as Cuban independence day, two other important conclusions were reached. The first was that General Wood should immediately upon his return to Cuba issue a call convening the first Cuban congress in session on May 10th, in order that the body might employ the ten days following that date in supplying any legislation necessary to the assumption of full powers in the islands. The other conclusion was that there should be no half way evacuation of the island; the present disposition is to move the entire United States contingent, civil and military, away from the islands, not leaving a corporal's guard of United States soldiers in any of the camps. If this program is not executed, it will be for the sole reason that the Cubans themselves, through their authorized officials, request that the departure of the United States troops be delayed for a time. AN OUTSIDER APPOINTED. General Officers Resign From the Fifth Georgia Regiment. An Atlanta dispatch says: Drs. J. H. Cromer and W. H. Moncrief will resign their commissions as assistant surgeons of the Fifth Georgia regiment. The resignations have already been written and were forwarded to Colonel Park Woodward Tuesday afternoon. Captain Mike Erskeine, of the Hibernian Rifles, has tendered his resignation to the members of the company, and as soon as it is passed on by that body he will transmit it at once to Adjutant General Robertson. Dr. E. C. Davis resigned several days ago as captain and surgeon. These four resignations coming in rapid succession are the sensation of the hour in military circles, and it is reported that other resignations will follow. Captain Davis gave as his reason for resigning that the state has persistently refused to do anything for the military. Drs. Cromer and Moncrief are retiring because an outsider, Dr. Bizzell, was appointed over them when Dr. Davis resigned, and Captain Mike Erskine gives as his reason the general inactivity of the Fifth regiment and the lack of interest displayed. The resignations will probably be accepted, but the officers of the regiment are regretting that the men have seen fit to turn them in. Colonel Park Woodward resigned some time ago, but Clifford Anderson, who was elected lieutenant colonel has never stood examination for the office, and the command could not be turned over to him. CHOLERA SCARE IN MANILA. Troops Coming Home Will Be Hurried Off Ahead of Time. There have been four new cases of cholera at Manila, and more deaths from the plague are reported. The health authorities believe that their rigid precautions have averted an epidemic. As General Chaffee did not want the men of the Third Infantry to run the risk of cholera, as a result of contact with the city, that regiment already has been taken aboard the United States transport Grant, which will sail for San Francisco one week ahead of her schedule time. —Mrs. Julia Birdsdall, who was returned to Philadelphia from Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday to stand trial for embezzlement, spent the $15,000 stolen from her employers entirely on her pet dogs. —Seventy-five Georgia raised fighting cocks will be taken to Dallas, Tex., during the reunion to compete against all comers from the western states.' —James Walker, a negro who poisoned the entire family of Dr. David T. Tayloe, one of the North Carolina state medical examiners, was lynched by a mob early Tuesday morning near Washington, N. C. —It is feared that the strike in New Orleans may come at any moment. Both sides are preparing. The union men will run coaches. The street car companies have secured men, and volunteer police is being formed. —Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, says he will reply later to the attack on him regarding his recent ruling in the senate. He says he knows who inspired it and the purpose. —It has been finally decided that Cuba will be turned over to the natives May 20. All the United States troops will be withdrawn. —Abraham Fischer, the Boer delegate at Amsterdam, says that the burghers in the field will never yield to the British. —Miss Alice Roosevelt is the subject of a coarse cartoon in a Berlin illustrated journal. —Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, has introduced an Irish land bill in the house of commons. —Rathbone, Neely and Reeves, vonvicted of fraud at Havana, have appealed to the Cuban supreme court. —As a result of a meeting of business men of the city Monday, Atlanta will hold a fair, horse show and races this fall. A guarantee fund of $10,000 will be raised at once. —Manager Custer, of the Cedartown, Ga., Paper Box Company, was publicly horsewhipped Saturday by George Wade, who has been receiving sensational anonymous letters-and thought he recognized in them the handwriting of Custer. The mystery of the finding of the bodies of Richard Albrecht and his little son near Brunswick is unsolved. The coroner's jury renders a verdict that they came to death from unknown causes. The body of a white woman, badly decomposed, but showing signs of terrible burning before death, was found in a 60-fot well at Bullifin grove, a picnic ground formerly used by the people of Memphis, Tenn. The mine operators have refused to confer with the employees and a strike of 140,000 men in the anthracite coal region has been ordered to take effect on a date to be fixed unless the operators recede from their position. —In an address at Washington Monday night at the biennial banquet of the Virginia Democratic Association, Henry, Watterson scathingly denounced Roosevelt, styling him "the man on horseback." Mr. Watterson also said the republican party bore the trade mark of the trusts. —Rathbone, Neely and Reeves, accused of Cuban postal frauds, have been convicted and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and to pay heavy fines. —Mrs. Julia Birdsall, allas Miss Wharton, was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., Sunday on the charge of embezzling $15,000 of the funds of a Philadelphia house. She admits her guilt. —W. H. Venable, of Atlanta, is named by Governor Candler, of Georgia, as commissioner from the state at large to the Louisiana Purchase exposition. —The shoe factory of Inman, Smith & Co., in Gainesville, Ga., was visited by fire early Sunday morning. About $20,000 damage was done by fire and water, the loss being fully insured. —Northern Methodists are anxious to form a federation with southern churches on several branches of work. —A special term of court has been called to try Stover and Pirkle, the alleged murderers of Mrs. Christina Blake, killed near Gainesville, Ga., a few days ago. The entire city of Norfolk is on the watch in anticipation of further trouble from the street railway strikers. All cars are being watched by guards. In a wreck on the Virginia Midland road, near Charlottesville, Va., Sunday morning five tons of mail were destroyed, the cars taking fire. Efforts to prevent street railway men at New Orleans from striking frogs to be futile. Officials of companies had men seen to be wide apart. Awarded Neely, Rathbone and Reeves For Cuban Frauds. IMPRISONMENT FOR TEN YEARS In Addition, the Gay Embezzlers of Cuban Postal Funds Must Pay Fines Ranging From $56,000 to $35,000. A special from Havana says: The trials before the audencla-court of the cases arising from the embezzlement of Cuban postal funds has resulted in the following sentences: W. H. Reeves, ten years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $35,516. Estes G. Rathbone, ten years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $35,324 Rathbone, Neely and Reeves have been on trial for several weeks. Rathbone was formerly director of posts in Cuba, and Neely and Reeves were under him. It is alleged that the three men entered into a conspiracy to defraud and that as a result large sums were embezzled from the postal funds of the island. It was charged that Rathbone spent thousands of dollars belonging to the postal funds in furnishing his residence in Havana, and that he even charged up personal apparel to the postal account. Rathbone practically admitted this clause of the accusation, but said that he did only what other United States officials in Havana did. He even said that the then postmaster General, Charles Emory Smith, knew that money was being spent in this way. The frauds were committed soon after the United States took charge of affairs in Cuba, but the men were only forced to trial during the present year. Rathbone is from Ohio and was prominent in republican politics in that state. It is said that he contributed greatly to Hanna's success when he was first elected to the senate.

Mr. Wilson discussed the situation in the coal fields of Virginia and West Virginia and gave out the statement that in all probability a strike involving 35,000 miners will be called in these two states within a short time. NO 25. APRIL NINTH THE-DATE. President's Day at Charleston Exposition Is Agreed Upon—Jenkins Will Get Sword. A Columbia dispatch says: President's day at the South Carolina exposition will be April 9, and the feature of the day will be the presentation to Major Jenkins, by his former chief of the Rough Riders, of a beautiful sword from South Carolinians who honor Jenkins, the son of a confederate general who died in battle, and who also honor the president. When Lieutenant Governor Tillman sent his telegram to President Roosevelt withdrawing the invitation to him to present a $65 sword to Jenkins, the president was asked by those who claimed to represent all that was worthy and honorable in South Carolina, if he would present a sword of honor to Major Jenkins. Before deciding to go to Charleston the president replied that it would give him pleasure to participate in such a ceremony, and again expressed his high admiration for the gallant bearing of the South Carolinian who was his fellow-office in the Rough Riders. It has now been decided that President Roosevelt will attend the exposition April 9, and the management has arranged on-the-program for the sword presentation. A state committee will have charge of the presentation ceremonies and Hugh S. Thompson, of the New York Life, former governor of South Carolina, has consented to be the head of the committee and speak for South Carolina on that day. Governor Thompson has for years been an admirer and friend of Rosevelt. The sword to be given Major Jenkins will cost $500 or $750. It will be purchased with contributions from every part of South Carolina. PETTIGOAT EMBEZZLER CAUGHT. Swiped $15,000 In Philadelphia and Falls Into Hands of Atlanta Officers. Charged with embezzling $15,000 from a Philadelphia firm, Mrs. Julia K, Birdsall, alias Miss Wharton, was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., Sunday afternoon. The arrest was made on a telegram from Philadelphia, and the detectives discovered the woman they wanted by a little dog which followed her—a small canine which has played a conspicuous part in the remarkable story of the canebzlement. In making a confession to the officer, Mrs. Birdsall gave a strange account of hypnotic influences' which she says swayed her during the time she piled the thousands of dollars from her remployers. There seems to have been a man and another woman in the case. Young Brooklyn Woman Not Gullity of Murdering Walter Brooks. Florence Burns, the young Brooklyn, N. X., woman who has been in the custody of the police of New York since February 15, under suspicion of knowing how Walter Brooks met his death, was discharged from custody by Justice Mayo Saturday night. Brooks, who was a young commission merchant, had been keeping company with Florence Burns. He was found dead the night of February, 14 in a room at the Glen Island hotel. The gas in the room was turned on and there was a bullet wound in the head. The district attorney tried to show that Florence Burns was likely to have killed Brooks because he was trying to break off his association with her. PHILANTHROPIST FRENCH DEAD. Staunch Friend of Georgia Technological School Is No More. Aaron French, aged 79 yearg, died at his home in Pittsburg, Pa., Sunday night shortly after midnight, of paralysis. Mr. French was president of the American Steel Spring Company, and elected president of the steel spring compine formed in New York recently. Among the most signal of the benefactions that marked his life was his generosity to the Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta, Ga. This school held a place near to the heart of the dead philanthropist, and he watched the success of the institution with pride. Present Speaker Will Not Have Clear Road to Next Congress. Senator O. B. Courtright, of Waterloo, Iowa, is announced as a candidate for the republican nomination for congressman, in opposition to Speaker Henderson, and will make a fight for control of the coming congressional convention. This means that for the first time since he was sent to congress by the republicans of his district, in 1882, Colonel Henderson will find it necessary to contest with an applicant for his seat. eer “Cee Ray we aie Derr Rane <fs, Poniaam vate Biromar, ~ BXTHE TRIBUNE: PUBLISHING CO 22, (SHO Wk Tulian Btreet. eRe 674. ; i gases =f os ae ypRATE Se >. pi a 1S. ee Ironmen eee SatuRpay Maxow 29, 19022: ‘We all,zejoice in the fact that the Republican party in Georgia isa unit.

We wish to announce the results of the sales at Mr, Adler’s store. on Friday last,although it was a cloudy and rainy day making it disagree- able for shopping, there was a neat eum of $32.68 realized and we have the check for the same. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ad- ler most graciously for his liberal offer and the materialization of same. This gives us courage to be untiring in our efforts to achieve success, and make the Hospital an everlasting monument, that coming generations of the Negro race can point to with pride and honor. 1 dare say that thie inducement which Mr. Adler gave is unprecedented in its unanim- ity and for which we are very grate- ful and will not soon forget. - This kind act proves only more clearly that if we help ourselves others will help us. So let us ag. race be up and doing taking advantage of every opportunity. here ia not a better demonstration of unity and causes of effort and opinion than that which exists between tha color- ed physicians of Savannah. Since they have taken the work of the hospital in hand the interest has become common, the brotherhood mutual and the realization that in as much as we are go closely identified With the Hospital, its hardships must share our sympathies.

Will Call For Death Penalty. Measure-Provides Military Guard for Chief Executive—Other Officials Are Also Under Protec Two important measures were passed by the senate Friday, the bill for the repeal of the war revenue taxes and that for the protection of the president of the United States. The revenue bill was passed without division and after only one short speech. Mr. Tillman embraced the opportunity afforded by the bill's consideration to protest against the repeal of the duty of 10 cents a pound upon tea. The bill for the protection of the president was under discussion during the greater part of the session. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, made an extended speech in opposition to it and Mr. Fairbanks supported it. All amendments to the measure were rejected and it was passed by a vote of 52 to 15. The bill provides that any person within the United States who willfully and maliciously kill the president or any officer on whom the duties of president may devolve, or any sovereign of a foreign, country, or shall attempt to kill any of the persons named, shall suffer death; that any person who shall aid, abet, advise or counsel the killing of any of the persons named, or shall conspire to accomplish their death, shall be imprisoned not exceeding twenty years; that any person who shall threaten to kill the president or any official on whom the duties of president may devolve, shall be imprisoned not exceeding ten years; that any person who shall willfully aid in the escape of any person guilty of any offenses mentioned shall be deemed an accomplice and shall be punished as the principal. The secretary of war is directed to detail from the regular army a guard of officers and men to protect the president, "without necessary display," and the secretary is authorized to make regulations as to the dress, arms and equipment of such guard. KILLED BY PIEGEMEAL Sensational Facts Brought Out In Courtmartial of Waller and Day. A Manila special says: The courtmartial appointed to try Major Littleton W. T. Waller and Lieutenant John H. A. Day, of the marine corps, on the charge of executing natives of the island of Samar without trial, after receiving a communication from General Cheffee, decided that it had jurisdiction in the case and proceeded to try the accused officers. Major Waller pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder, but admitted that eleven men had been killed. Captain Robert H. Dunlap, of the marine corps, testified that he received information from Lieutenant Ryan and Sergeant Quick regarding the arrival at Cargadores of prisoners who, while on the march across the island, ata roots and parts of plants and refused to assist the marines by giving them similar food. He reported the fact to Major Waller, who was lying in a cot and who ordered Lieutenant Day to take the prisoners and have them shot. The witnesses said Major Waller was not excited, and had personally expressed that the men should be shot Captain Arthur T. Marx, marine corps, representing Major Waller, objected to the testimony of Dr. Love regarding the sanity of Major Waller at the time, claiming that his fitness for duty was a matter for the defense alone: He conceded that Major Waller gave the orders while in his right senses. It is charged that some of the prisoners were shot serially. It is said that one was tied to a tree and shot in the arm. The next day the Filipino was shot in the leg and on the third day he was shot and killed. "THE MAN ON HORSEBACK."

Textile Operators Make Demand For Ten Per Cent Increase. The mill agents at Lowell, Mass., Friday considered the demand of textile operatives for an advance of 10 per cent. A letter was sent to the textile council, but its contents were secret. The several unions of cotton-mill operatives at Lewiston, Maine, have also made a demand for a 10 per cent increase in wages similar to that demanded in other places. Mr. Dillon, Irish-Member, Emphasizes Remarks With Strong Expletive and is Suspended. A London special says: One of the liveliest scenes witnessed in the house of commons since the palmest days of the Irish nationalists, ended Thursday afternoon with the suspension of John Dillon. During the discussion of the South African affairs, the liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, vigorously protested against the government's conduct in using malignant slander in calling the liberals pro-Boers. These slanders, Sir Henry said, were used for party purposes. The colonial secretary, Mr. Chamberlain, in the course of an equally incisive reply, said he desired to deliberately accuse Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman of losing no opportunity for slandering his countrymen, the soldiers and the government. Consequently, the "malignant slanders had come from the opposition side." The speaker, Sir William Court Gully, here intervened and declared that the term, "malignant slander," was unparliamentary. Both Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and Mr. Chamberlain thereupon withdrew the words amid cheers. Mr. Chamberlain, proceeding, referred to the Boers who are fighting on the British side, when John Dillon, Irish nationalist, interjected, "They are traitors!" upon which Mr. Chamberlain retorted, "The honorable gentleman is a good judge of traitors." A scene of great confusion ensued. When order was partially restored Mr. Dillon demanded a rulling on Mr. Chamberlain's words. The speaker said: "An honorable member spoke of soldiers fighting under the British flag as traitors. I deprecated the interruption and I deprecated the retort of the other member." Mr. Dillon then said: "I will tell the right honorable member that he is a d—d liar." A dead silence followed this remark. Such unparliamentary language seemed to stun the house. The speaker invited Mr. Dillon to withdraw the expression, but the latter said: "I will not withdraw." A motion was made and carried to suspend Mr. Dillon. The suspension, under the present rules, cannot exceed a week. MILES EPISODE INTERESTING. Question as to Whether General Will Receive Disciplinary 'Treatment. The news of General Miles' statements before the military committee of the senate excited great-interest at the war department Thursday when it became known there late in the day. There was inquiry as to whether, by passing criticisms upon.various officials General Miles had not exposed himself to disciplinary treatment. The answer to this might be based on the exact amount of privilege which attaches to testimony given before a committee of congress. UNION DEMANDS REFUSED.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds. Mrs. Pauline Judson Writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Soon after my marriage two years ago I found myself in constant pain.

He prescribed me for me O four months, when my husband became impatient because I grew worse instead of better, and in speaking to the drugist he advised him to get Lydia E.

Official advices received by the post-office department at Washington Tuesday afternoon from the director general of poses of Havana indicate that Rathbone, Neely and Reeves, who were sentenced Monday to ten years imprisonment each and heavy fines as the result of the Cuban postoffice frauds, will appeal from their sentences to the supreme court of Cuba, the highest tribunal in the island. The basis for the appeal will be points of law and procedure. The findings of fact made by the court are not reviewable. The separate fines, according to the official report, aggregate $127,536, which is stated to be the sum of the shortages in the general account and in the surcharged stamp account. The decision of the court is understood to have been unanimous on the general charges of embezzlement and conspiracy as to all three defendants. Ex-Director General Rathbone, however, is believed to have been absolved from the charges as to "trips and general personal expenditures." If the sentences are carried out, it is agreed that the men will undergo their punishment in Cuba. They are not federal prisoners, and their appeal has been taken to the Cuban courts. They are in the custody of the Cubans and will probably remain there until the island government is satisfied. Their offense was against the Cuban postal department and the fines, if paid, will go to reimburse that department. Neely Could Pay His Fine. A dispatch from Muncie, Ind., the home of Neely, says: If Charles F. Neely's fine is paled he will probably have to pay it himself, as it is claimed his relatives are unable to do so, although many of them are worth several thousand dollars each in property. It is commonly believed that Neely could pay the fine himself if he chose. The sentiment of Muncle citizens is practically unanimous, that while Neely is probably guilty, he did not deserve so severe a sentence. A majority of the people hope that the verdict will be reversed by the supreme court of Cuba, or that the United States government can intercede. Rathbone's Friends Dumbfounded. Hamilton, Ohio, his home town, was shocked at the severity of the sentence imposed in Havana on Estes G. Rathbone. It was felt that Rathbone was culpable, principally through the love of luxury and social display, which lost him fortunes in Hamilton, but nobody feels that he is wilfully criminal or that he would embezzle. A conviction and a light sentence would have been generally approved by Hamilton people, but it is felt that the court's sentence is too severe. PROTEGE OF "HATCHET CARRIE." Young Woman Horsewhips Mayor of Toneka on General Principles. An organization has been formed in Topeka, Kans, by certain followers of Mrs. Carrie Nation to horsewhip those officials who are not enforcing the temperance laws, and Mayor Parker, of Topeka, is its first victim. Miss Blanche Boise, a protege of Mrs. Nation; horsewipped the mayor in his office at the city building Monday. Three itmes she slashed the mayor and then he sprang at her, tore the rawhide out of her hand and pushed her into the hall. As Miss Boise was thrust out of the office she exclaimed: "Thank God, I've done it! I've horsewipped you and now I'm going to horsewhip the governor!" Before beginning her horsewhipping Miss Bqise gave the mayor a severe scolding and accused him of being responsible for the fact that the "joints" are running openly in Topeka. She then pulled the horsewhip from the folds of her dress and before the mayor knew what had happened she struck him three times over the head and shoulders. RHEA LOSES HIS SEAT.
