CUBA’S CRY IS HEARD CITIZENS OF CHICAGO PROTEST AGAINST TYRANNY. Cause of the Oppressed People Warmly Championed — Speeches Made and Resolutions Adopted in Keeping with Declaration of Independence. Pleas for Self-Government, The first protest of free-born Americans ngninst Spanish tyranny in < üba was heard in Chicago Monday night. It was as fervid, ns resolute and as defiant as if it had been voiced by men and women who had suffered personally the wrongs that have kept Cuba in a state of ferment for a century. There was no sign of prearrangement in the speeches. They differed widely as to the proper \ XIA YOH swill. course of this government, lint whether the speaker dwelt upon the necessity of conforming to international law, as Mr. Bryan did. or whether. like Mr. Hynes ami Mr. Mason, he spoke out sqimreiy for Cuban independence. the undertone was the same. The meetings t ried for freedom, says a correspondent. ami it was noticeable that no sentiment was re i ceived with greater applause than Gov ernor Altgelds blunt declaration in a telegram to the ehairman that Cuba should be annexed to the United States, T'he Central Music Hall meeting was the larger of the two.

As tor the State street meeting, it was one of the most re markable demonstrations ever seen in this city. In the first place ami that is the most important point it was Atm r icon to the < ore. There are not many Cubans in Chicago. Probably all the exiles of the suffering islands who have found their way to the cigar shops ot the town would not till the parquet circle of Central Music Hall. Me,: of them were there.- leaning forward in their seats to take in every glowing sentence and i heeling wildly tile red-hot denunciations of their old masters that poured from the stage. Quesada, the secretary of the revolutionary party, was on the floor, and so was Zayas, the propagandist of the cause, who is here trying to secure eontri- , hutions of arms, ammunition and modi- I cine for the insurgents. The big cheer j of the rwitii:-. Went v.p for an ex -ited 1 Cuban who arose in the vallery while Mr. Ilyins was speaking and yelled: "I go over and lick Spain mw-elf alor.e." Ch .i > oo's Oflicia I Stamp. The od'er big feature- of the meeting wa< that it was preside.] over by tinMayor of Chicago, and that the < its Council gave it official recognition by attending in a body. If this had happened over in Europe it might have been casus belli. What I.rough: to Central Music 11. ill th,is tremendous crowd that tilled the auditorium from the back of the platform to rhe eyries of the topmost gallery’? In the crowd there were not fifty men who had ever been within gunshot of Havana. 'There were not twenty to whom it makes a dollar's difference whether Cuba bursts her shackles or goes on toiling, footsore under her burdens. There was neither polities nor business in it. Their motive must have been as pure as that which im polled the men who made New England ring against human slavery. It was a great demonstration. From the moment that tin- gavel of the chairman struck order it was a long roll of applause, shouted applause emphasized with- roars that would lend grace to .lie greatest political meeting. It brought Cuba and the trials and struggles of the Cubans 1,000 miles nearer to Chicago. It lent a new meaning to the familiar lines of the declaration of independence which were in the mouth id' every speaker. Liberty and patriotism rang with a different sound to the ears that had only heard them from the months

I of politicians who sought to use them for I stepping stones to office. Every mention of the cruelty of the Spaniards wus greeted with groans, every mention of the Monroe doctrine and the duty of the government to enforce it with the wildest cheers. If the responsibility of admitting Cuba to statehood had lain with the meeting and some one had put the question another star would have been added to the Hag. At the mere suggestion of Cuba’s possible statehood the meeting went into the wildest applause. To the committee that had in charge the drafting of the resolutions the demands on the behalf of the struggling Cubans had at first seemed too strong, too pronounced; but in tlie light of the enthusiasm which prevailed when they were read they seemed weak and ineffectual. But they were adopted with a roar. Mayor Swift was chosen chairman of the meeting, and addresses were given by the following gentlemen: Rev. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulns. Thontas B. Bryan, William .1. Hynes, William E. Mason, the Rev. J. H. Barrows, Bishop Fallows, the Rev. Dr. I’. S. Henson. .John Mayo l‘almer and E. B. Sherman. NO OPEN SUNDAY AT ATLANTA. Resolution to That Effect Tabled, It Is Thought I’ermaiicntly, Tin l preachers of Atlanta are still lighting the exposition on the question of side of liquor on the grounds. A mo ling of the Methodist Ministers' Association was held, and at that meeting the special committee appointed a week ago reported that : it had secured legal advice on Ihe ques- ; tion. and that the lawyers were unani- | mous in their opinion that the right to 1 sell liquor did not b< long to the exposition people or to their concessioners legally. A long discussion as to what the ministers should do in view of their report followed. Some of them wwc in I iwr of enjoining I the exposition directors from allowing , liquor to be sold on tile grounds, while others favored bringing the matter to (he attention of the grand jury. The matter tinal!,', took that course. A rcsohitioa was adopted thanking the expositi'>n din ctoi s for keeping tlie grounds dosed oil Sunday ami expressing the hope that they will continue to keep them closed. At the meeting of the board of exp< si i tion directors action was taken which appar< ntly kills for ail time the project to • •pin tie exposition mi Sundays. A r>-o i hition providing for Sunday opening was I intrndmed by Director Caiuiniss. but ’ 1 after some lively discussion was tabled, i

TIMBER RUINED BY CYCLONE. Millions of Feet Blown Down by W ind in the Northern District. A Marinette.

I distiets north, prostrating vast tracts of i standing pine to tin extent never before j experienced in this State. Millions and ' I millions feet of pine have been blown 1 i down, and the result, it is believed, will I prove far more serious than that of the | terrible forest tires that have raged ov^r ' i the country. Cattle ami horses were 1 j killed, and men were obliged to flee from ' | their camps at night to escape being killed ’ by falling trees. Every new report .shows ' increased disaster.

IiOMOn for Oct. G. (olden Text—“ The Lord raised up which delivered them.”—Judges ^Tu- subject matter of the lesson this wbek is found in Judges 2: 1-12, IG. Chas. Yatman calls Judges “the Acts of the Old Testament. Hut it is in the main a record of evil acts. We have named it in our study Bible, the Book of Degeneracy. Its keythought, anarchy, its keyword, “forsook,” its key object, a broken altar, nnd for its keytext 17: G. “Every man idid that which was right in his own eves,” or, as getting at the real riot of the matter, the thirteenth verse in the midst of our lesson. “And they forsook the Lord and served Baal and Ashtaroth.” Joshua had told them at the end of his life HJosh. 23: 1G) what would be the consequences of such eomluct. The book of

(Josh. 14: G. 1 Sam. 11:14.) Bochim means xveeping. Would that a good angel of reminiscence or re- j flection, might come up from our Gilgal of good resolution, alas, sadly disregard- j ed, nnd bring us tn wholesome weeping. "They forsook the Lord God of their i fathers." A godly ancestry was likewise • insuflivient. Indeed no one is held long 1 or strongly to the "Lord God of his fath- | ers." To en. h generation and to each in- ' dividual soul there must be a newly ap- I prehended and personal Lord God upon whom the individual takes hold —os is j taken hold of. The trouble with | this generation was that they i “knew not the Lord” in individual surrender and trust. Presently, as with every age and person, they were brought to know him in judgments. "Net ertheb'ss the Lord raised up judges ■ which delivered (saved) them." Thank Goil for the "nevertheless;" it is like ! unto "wliosoever” in sweetness nnd sue ; gestiou of mercy. "Where sin abounded. I grace did much more abmind." God ] never forgets to be gracious. "lie will ■ not always . hide." but he is always ready to snre. "He will not keep his anger for- । ever." but he will his love, for "his mer- i ey endureth forever.” Those judges or ' saviors were in nn agro outline, but nntieipntions of the Great Deliverer sent to ; nn ungodly world, that “whosoever be- ; lieveth on him should not perish but have ' everlasting life," This is the burden of , God’s grn< ions "m-vertheless.” And it I holds. 1 llnittrat ions It was a time of moral do.-adenec, a kind of religious "let dow n." such as ' 'oim s to nn iudividunl or community that forgets or declines to retain God in all ; the thought.

LOVE, LIGHT AND LUCK. A Millionaire Senator Who Has Thr«« Strong Points of Belief. Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, is a firm believer in luck. He told me a little while ago, says a writer in the New York Telegram, that he deserved no credit at all for being a millionaire. “I am one of the comparatively few who were born under a lucky star,” be said. “Without luck as an aid I would never have been heard of. That’s the case of most successful men, you will find, whether they will admit it or not. I have always found that luck was just ahead. I once wandered away from my party in the mountains and the intense cold threatened to finish me be- | fore I joined it again. I got under the . friendly side of a bowlder to escape the icy blasts that came roaring down the mountain and about the first thing I saw there was one solitary match. I gathered some brushwood, struck the match and it went out. A little disheartened, I proceeded on my way, and hadn’t gone twenty paces before 1 saw another match, but it,was a wet one. I dried it on my- hair and struck it. It f sputtered, burned, flickered, danced,

winked and finally blazed and in ten minutes—l—was cooking before a roaring fire. My comrades saw the smoke and in a little while joined me. Ever since that time I have always found a match just ahead. It is worse than I folly for a man to become discouraged, i Life is only a question of hanging on. Luck had as much to do wi:h Napo’e n’s i success as ability. It surely was not I ability that made him, when 22, meet, । when he was on his way to the river to ! commit suicide, in the dead of night, I a friend who gave him a belt full of ; money. That friend, and not Napoleon changed the map of Europe and has । given hundreds of thousands of print/ j ers. binders, writers, actors, scene painters, soldiers and sailors a living. Even Shakspeare was lucky—to havo l hoen such a favorite of nature as to re- j ceive the most royal gift she ever be- ; stowed upon mortal man—a brain of । rubies.

How. ever that may bo, it happened that on •me occasion in his court a lawyer was pleading a case and was making a regular red-tire aml-slow-curtain speech, . which stirred the jury to its profoundj est depths. In the course of his peroration he said: “ ‘And. gentlemen of the jury, as 1 i stand at this bar to-day in behalf of a I prisoner, whoso health is such that at ■ any moment he may be called before a greater judge than the judge of this

Pigeons on the Farm. There is nothing more attractive to a boy on a farm than a flock of pigeons, : and there Is no farm on which a few i might m t be kept. The common variety Is easily obtained and they will take care of themselves if given a nesting place. They are quite prolific, । breeding four or five times a year, two birds being hatched at a time. The I young make nice stews, and the old ones, made into pot pie, are a dish fit for a king. Much amusement may be got. ten from the fancy sorts, such as pouters, tumblers, fantails, trumpeters and I homers. We have kept all sorts and found ready sale for them at good ' prices. The squabs are always in good demand, and the old pigeons bring a ■ good price always in the markets. They ■ cost but very little to keep them, as they pick up most of their living about the farm. They make nice pets and serve a good purpose in keeping boys interested in the farm. Sbotild Be Among tht First. .
