TUESDAY, DEC. 17, 1895.

A GENERAL fight is being made upon the street improvements of our city. Parties on Walnut, North, Spring and Pratt streets, have united and employed attorneys, and we understand, intend to make a determined fight against the payment of the assessments for the improvement of these streets. We seriously doubt the propriety of their actions. The part that some of our citizens have taken in these proceedings would not confer much credit upon them. Some of them, we suspect, would not care for the public to know their position in the matter. The contractors have also emplot ed counsel, and it promises to be a fight to a finish. If the assessments are not collectable, the contractors will be the losers, not the city. The contractors that are interested are: C. M. Kirk Patrick, William H. Peters, Parker & Fry and Ivokotno Cement Walk Co. When the cases arc finally decided, we predict that the property holders will be sorry that frhey did not settle outside of court. Tweeny two cases have been filed. The attorneys for the plaintiffs are, Robert Williamson, R. A. Black, W. P. Hi good, Marsh & Cook. The contractors are represented by Spencer & Bi to d, Felt & Jackson, of this city, Holstein & Barrett, of Indianapolis, and C. C. Shirley, of Kokomo.

Christmas Entertainment.

A contata, entitled, "Santa Clause On Time," will be given by the Sunday school of tha Christian church of Charlottesville, on New Years eve, Dec. 31. This Cantata is an excellent one, and the training of the children by Miss Rose Smith, is a guarantee that it will be well done. Everything is being done to make this the best enter .ainment of this kind that school has ever given to the public. Everybody is cordially invited.

OBITUARY.

Edward Thomas, tha oldest sou and child of Emma and John S. Thomas, was born May 28, 1877, and died Dec. 14, 1895, at the residence of his father in this city after an illness of but one week of diphtheria and heart trouble.

He was a young man well known among the citizens of this city and all speak in highest terms of him as a rising young man and all exceeding regret his early death. Among his many friends, both young and old, he was honored as a truthful and trustworthy companion, an upright, conscientious boy, and a God fearing young man. Quiet and unassuming in iuanuer, he won the respect and confidence of all. His gentlemanly conduct on all occasions exhibited that quality which should be emulated by all his associates and friends. His past was exemplary, his future is with God.

It is sad, especially to his father, brothers and sisters, to thus loose a son and brother just entering., upon the threshold of manhood. This bitter cup is indeed full. Not yet nineteen years old, his sweet life was ushered into the unknown, yet it will be long years ere our rememberauce of him will be obliterated.

The last sad rites were performed Sunday afternoon at the Park cemetery by Rev. Gard, and the presence of many friends testified to his standing among his acquaintances.

Edward is no more. The father has lost a dutiful son, the brothers and sister^ a loving and cheerful brother, and the young people of this city a sweet companion. "God is just" but it was hard to loose him.

What She Does.

The up to date girl— Rides a wheel first and foremost. Plays golf and enjoys it mightily. Shoots, rows and fences equally well. Belongs to hosts of clubs and can make a good speech.

Understands parliamentary law and can preside at any sort of a meeting. Is thoroughly businesslike and at the same time not the least bit unfeminine.

She's a paragon, in short—always well dressed, well behaved, well educated and well—in fact, she's everything that is up to date, yet sweet and womanly and attractive.—Exchange.

Mary Hart well Catherwood.

Mary Hartwell Catherwood leads an ideally quiet life in Hoopeston, Ills. It has taken her less than 15 years to build up the reputation she enjoys. Her first appearance in literature was made in 1881. She is said to bear a marvelous resemblance both in appearance and manner to Jean Blewett, a Canadian writer who occupies about the same position in the literature of her country as Mrs. Catherwood does here. The coincidence becomes more remarkable when it is said that, although the two writers have never met, each has a daughter 9 years old named Pearl.

Margaret Collier Graham.

Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham, whose "Stories of the Foothills" have given her prominence in the literary world, is a western woman. She was born in Iowa and since her marriage has lived in California. She is not one of the discouragingly youthful writers of the day, for she is 45, and it was not until 1892 that she entered literature seriously.

Insurance Women.

Miss Lucia Smith has recently been appointed an agent for an insurance company at Carrollton, Ky., and is doing good work. Mrs. Duff Porter is manager of the woman's department in Chicago for the same company, and one of her solicitors, Mrs. C. A. Terry, often surpasses the men agents in the number of policies she writes.

Knit Tights.

A wise thing for the delicate woman who finds very heavy clothing a burden is to provide herself with a pair of knit tights to don when going out of doors. She may then wear with impunity one of the short modish jackets or capes and at the same time be kept perfectly warm, with no additional weight dragging from the tired hips.

A Housekeeper's Apprentice.

A Sedalia (Mo.) dispatch in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "A novel document was a few days ago filed in the office of the county recorder. It is a paper wherein Mrs. Belle Asher apprentices her daughter, Letha Asher, 9 years old, to Mary Jane Love 'to learn the trade and art of housekeeping.'

ASK ONLY LIBERTY.

Manifesto Issued by the Cuban Revolutionists.

AMERICANS ARE APPEALED TO.

Cuba's Needs Summarized and Iho History of the Revolution in Cuba and the "resent Conditions of. the Island Kevicwed.

Havana Reports of the Rccoiit Engagements in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The manifesto of the Cuban revolutionary party to the people of the United States has just been made public. It is a long document, prepared by Enrique Jose Verona, ex-deputy in the Spanish cortes, and reviews the history of revolutionary agitation in Cuba and present conditions on the island. The manifesto summarizes Cuban needs thus: "The people of Cuba require only liberty and independence to become a factor of prosperity and progress among civilized nations instead of intranquility, disturbance and ruin. The fault lies entirely with Spain. Cuba is not the offender it is the defender of its rights. Lot America, let the world decide where rest justice and right."

It is set out that no people could bear the wrongs endured by the Cubans without protest, without degrading and condemning itself to annihilation. The manifesto concludes: "Spain denies Cubans all effective powers in their own country condemns them to political inferiority in their native land, confiscates product of tlieir labor, without giving in return either safety, prosperity or education. "Spain has shown itself utterly incapable of governing Cuba, which it exploits, impoverishes and demoralizes. The Cubans, not in anger, but in despair, have appealed to arms to defend their rights and vindicate an eternal principle, without which every community is in danger—the principle of justice. Nobody has the right to oppression. Spain oppresses us. In rebelling against oppression we defend a right. In serving our own cause we serve the cause of mankind. "We have not counted the number of our enemies, nor measured their strength. We may find ruin and death a few steps ahead. So be it. We do our duty. If the world is indifferent to our cause, so much the worse for all. A new iniquity shall have been consummated. The principle of human solidarity shall have suffered a defeat."

LATEST BATTLES IN CUBA.

Havana Reports Always Make a Victory For the Spaniards.

HAVANA, Dec. 17.—An important engagement is reported at Maltiempo, province of Santa Clara, in which a force of 500 troops under Colonel Arizon, met the main force of the insurgents under Gomez, to the number of 6,000. The combat is reported to have been a fierce one and long contended.

Maltiempo is near Las Cruces and equally distant from that town and from Baes. It is about half way between the city of Santa Clara and Cienfuegos, and 18 miles from each. It is also about 20 miles west of Siguanea, in the neighborhood of which the insurgents' main body was last reported. Las Cruces is on the railway between Santa Clara, General Campos' headquarters, and Cienfuegos.

The Spanish forces engaged were under Colonel Arizon, numbering about 200, together with 300 of the battalion canarios, under a lieutenant colonel. This force sustained an uneven combat with Gomez's insurgents, who renewed the engagement after having been once driven back. But they were finally repulsed with heavy loss. The loss of the troops was two officers and 30 soldiers killed and four officers and 40 soldiers wounded. Colonel Arizon, at the close of the engagement, was left in possession of the field. He sent his wounded back to Cruces, and then advanced to Paez.

Colonel Rubin, while in pursuit of the insurgent force commanded by Quintin Banderas, was attacked on all su''\s at Des Filadero, near Banao. The troops made a grand defense and the insurgents were eventually beaten off by the well-directed artillery fire turned upon them. The troops lost four killed and seven wounded.

A culvert on the railroad between Santa Clara and Cienfuegos, the headquarters of Captain General Martinez de Campos, has been blown up by the insurgents. A pilot engine which was sent ahead of a train running over that portion of the road was ditched, and five railroad employes were killed.

The railroad bridge at Sagua la Grande, province of Santa Clara, has been burned and the cane fields around San Domingo, in the same district, are burning.

Several skirmishes have taken place between the troops and the insurgents in the Sagua la Grande district, where the revolutionists are quite active at present.

The civil guard fought a battle yesterday with the band of Secunvino Garcia at Calimete, in the province of Matanzas. Six of the latter were killed and three wounded.

It is reported that Maximo Gomez was slightly wounded during one of the recent engagements between insurgents and Spanish troops.

The expedition under Martinez and Pujols has effected a landing near Manzanillo with arms and ammunition and a rapid-fire gun. Several American artillerymen are in this party.

In a skirmish at Cruces recently the troops captured five insurgents. The canefields of the plantation of Casimba, near Sicotea, have been burned.

Havana News Unreliable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Senator Call yesterday presented in the senate and had referred to the committee on foreign relations, a letter signed by R. R. James and dated at Havana Dec. 9, last, complaining that the news given to the world in regard to the Cuban insurrection is colored in the interest of Spain. Mr. James also assorts that the Spanish minister in Washington conducts a press bureau for the purpose of supplying "Cuban newS."

POINTS OF LAW.

Parol evidence is not admissible to vary the terms of a note. The giving of an absoluto deed merely as security is a badge of fraud as against tho creditors of the grantor.

A corporation that is unable to pay its debts as they becomo due in the usual course of business is insolvent.

Where the contract of a carrier for a special rate of freight is void in violation of tho interstate commerce act tho carrier may collect the usual rate.

An employee who knowingly engages in dangerous work because he is told that he will loso his place if ho refuses to do so assumes the risk of injury from such work.

The assignee of an insolvent corporation, under an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, takes the property subject to whatever equities existed against tho corporation.—Recent Decisions of Highest Courts.

HEALTH HINTS.

Take plenty of outdoor exercise—unless you have sciatica or Chinese feet. Eat plenty of fresh fruit, but don't call it fresh when it is intolerably stale.

Drink whenever you are thirsty, but be careful what you drink and how much. Get rid of pain if you can, but don't think that quieting a pain is curing a disease.

Remember that clear water is not necessarily pure water, any more than cold air is always pure air.

Drink hot water if you find it agrees with you, but don't become a hot water crank and insist on boiling all your friends.

Mineral waters are sometimes wholesome, but don't think that tho worse they taste or smell the more beneficial they must bo.

THE ROAD TO RICHES.

There never was a time in the country's history when the newspapers were so largely looked to as inciters of trade as the present.—Salem Gazette.

The road to poverty is easy to find, but hard to travel. The road to riches is hard to find, but easy to travel if you know how to advertise yourself on the way.— "M ow unatierd orii.

EDITORIAL PHILOSOPHY.

Some people boast in order to convince themselves that they are all right.—Galveston News.

A great curiosity would be a man who kept his mouth shut and lived to regret it. —Atchison Globe.

Don't be too stingy to pay your fellow men a few compliments occasionally, if you can't pay anything else.—Philadelphia Record.

One of the strangest things of life is that so many things seem funny that aren't funny and so many more are funny that don't sejm funny.—Albany .Argus.

No other nian is so well eouipped for the task he self-imposea. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood.
