OBAVEHS BROS., Pub BLOOM INGTON, INDIANA. Cultured people are people who know how to look at you without seeing you. .A man is sorving a sixty days sentence in Miehiganjfor kissing a woman. He probably landed on her ear. Within the last two weeks several million dollars' worth of rain has fallen on the Kansas cornfields and oatfields. Reverend Samuel Jones has discovered that there is too much gymnasium and too little education to the presentday college. Still, we doubt if Uncle Russell Sage would permit another bomb to be thrown at him at close quarters for twice $40,000. It has been discovered that bicycling Is a great stimulus to matrimony. Now M you are an old bachelor or maid, you know just what to do. Turkey is acting very much like a -woman in the sixth story of a burning building who declines to come down because the fire escape does not suit her. More than 700 people were converted in a Fort Scott revival. One essential to a successful revival meeting is to nave plenty of raw material to work on. J. R. Holland, the defaulting cashier at Charlotte, S. C, has entered on a seven-year engagement making chairs at Albany, N. Y. His books didn't balance into $100,000. Indiana has a gold field in Brown county. Every three months the fever rises and a local flurry ensues, but the gold remains in its native hills. Now a machine has been invented that is said to be able to secure the invisible dust that fills the sand and earth along the Headwaters of Salt creek. The goldbearing region consists of about seventy-eight square miles in Brown, Johnson and Monroe counties. Whether a vein or lode exists in the hills remains to be ascertained. Heretofore all the gold has been found in flakes and fine particles in the sand. Heavy rains carry it down from the hills. This indicates that the hills have the yellow metal hid away somewhere in their bowels. It has never been found in paying quantities, but the new machine may make the Hoosier field of fabulous richness.

Allan T. Williams, who was conTited of embezzling county funds while county treasurer at Bayfield, Wis., was one of the best known characters in the Badger state. He was editor of one of the first papers printed in Washburn, the Bee. In 1887 he was elected county treasurer, and held that office " - an til February, 1894. During this , period he held the offices of deputy county clerk, justice of tfie peace, director of the Hydraulic company, president of the Mill Men's union, manager and drum major of the Bayfield cornet band, manager of the Harbor City base ball club, and manager of '" tftftagra house. He was commonly knownaa the "Pooh Bah" of Bayfield county. He was what is known as a "good fellow" and that was the cause f his down-fall. There's something In being too good a fellow.

, The constitution of Maryland proTides "that in all criminal prosecutions very man hath a right ... to a peedy trial by an impartial jury." Bat some years since the legislature passed an act providing that in cases of vagrancy the accused might be committed to the workhouse, by a magistrate, for one year or less, without trial by jury. A man thus committed was brought before Judge Yellot on -writ of habeas corpus, and he was promptly discharged, on the ground that the act under which he had been committed was unconstitutional. The case was appealed by the county, and the Court of Appeals (the Supreme Court of Maryland) sustained the statute on the ground that Che constitution of Maryland must be interpreted in harmony with the practice under the unwritten constitution of England, in which country the guarantee of trial by jury is not held to extend to such cases. Reinforced by this decision, the magistrates of Maryland continued to commit to the workhouse, without jury trial, such vagrants as were brought before them; and Judge Yellott as promptly ' discharged every man thus deprived of his liberty who was brought before him on writ of habeas corpus; and this, notwithstanding the fact that case after case was taken to the Court of Appeals, and always with the same result, namely, that the "law" was sustained. But the venerable Judge Yellott treated it as void until his retirement from the bench on account of the infirmities of old age. And we all say honor to such a judge. The church social is a serious thing for young men of limited means in all sections of America, but in Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia it Is positively dangerous. Hardly an affair of the kind is held in the rural regions that at least one man does not give up bis life not to religion, but to one or another of the thousand feuds of teat section. Whether it is a case of the office seeking the man or the man seeking the office, the search is a diligent one nowadays over a great many states.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE.

What Some Artists Have Done in That Direction. In reply to inquiries as to what women have done for science in recent years, the following information has ' been given: "Miss Margaret Whiting has painted many living, growing plants with scientific accuracy. Her studies delight the botanist by the unmistakable way that she portrays the facts of growth. The eye of the artist is satisfied with the selection of the beautiful specimens, boldly executed. Women want wall hangings, and Miss Whiting has painted with oil colors on gray linen gay blossoms, on bud-bearing stems, with their own leaves. They are restful, because the spaces left between foliage and flower are graceful. She has learned from the Greeks and the Japanese not to jumble different forms- together. Scientific men have a horror generally of the 'pretty' paintings by women. 'We need the truth. Mere prettiness is no use to us,' they say politely; but they take pains to steer clear of 'feminine fancy work,' as they call the flower pieces that appear at picture galleries. Women too often think that scientific truth cannot be observed without ugliness. Miss Whiting's paintings show that her botanical knowledge has helped her to see the important distinctions in the plant world. Artistic training gives the power of expressing scientific truth gracefully." "Ah," said an art critic, "I once went through the National Academy of Design with a scientific draughtsman and his half-smothered contempt at the unnatural 'flower pieces' signed by women was both comical and pathetic. The American public loves color, and brilliant painting sells the canvas. This German artist used to help Agassiz, and though he tried not to hurt my feelings as a woman, I saw through his eyes how science regards woman's work in art." FOR USERS OF "SPECS. Hints Which Wearers of Eye-Glasses Will Find Valuable. The "sizzling season" brings to the man who wears glasses, either "pinchers" or "specs," a double burden of woe, and as it is the Recorder's mission to mitigate the sufferings of humanity, no matter in what form it comes, these hints are offered for the benefit of all quadroculars. If you wear spectacles, and they are of steel, the nose-piece will certainly rust and discolor the skin in addition to making it sore. To remedy this have your optician put a tiny bit of cork under the bridge. You will probably take your spectacles off twenty times a day in the next three months to wipe them. Little by little they will get entirely out of focus, but so gradually that you will not know what the matter is when your eyes hurt you. Take your glasses to an optician. They make no charge for the job, and it takes only a minute or two to set them right. Never use chamois skin to cleanse your lenses. A drop or two of ammonia and a clean bit of linen is simplest and best for the purpose. Do not fold your spectacles up. The threads of the little screws thereby become loosened and give great annoyance. If you are going to be at the seaside much, get gold frames. Salt water rusts steel ones in a day or two. Don't use a string or chain if you wear eyeglasses. You will break more lenses by catching your finger in the string and pulling your glasses off than in any other way. Finally, if you want a safe place to keep your glasses at night, and a place where you will be sure to find them in the morning, put them on the floor just about eight inches under the head of the bed. There you cannot knock them off or tread on them, and neither can anybody else. Fashions in Mourning. Of late years English mourning, which is by the best dressmakers conceded to be in the best taste, is heavier than before, but is worn a shorter time. A widow will wear her crape, Henrietta cloth, bombazine, and widow's cap for a year. After that time she will assume all black without crape, and discard even this at the end of another year, putting on whatever colors she may fancy. A daughter wears what is known as "crape mourning" for six months, all black for six more, and then if she wishes puts on colors. The same rule applies to a sister, while "complimentary mourning," which is simply all black assumed for a distant relative or a dear friend, is in order for three months. Ladies' Home Journal. Dissipating London's Fog. London Invention: Unless some effort is made, says a contemporary, the climate of London will very soon become so debilitating, depressing and life-endangering that life in it will no longer be worth living. Our smoke and our fogs are our destruction. To get rid of our smoke would be to largely get rid of our fogs. Have we energy enough left in us, it continues, to essay the mighty task, or must we continue to tolerate until we are all suffocated? As a matter of fact, we contend "the mighty task" is constantly being "essayed." But it Is not enough that the inventor tries to do his share. Our contemporary should try to rouse parochial and corporate bodies to a little more practical enthusiasm on toe subject. Cave It a Fair Chance. "I hear that your congregation intends to pray for rain," said a man to a member of the Quohosh Methodist church. "Well," was the reply, "we have decided to wait twenty-four hours more before proceeding to extreme measures."

CUBA'S REBELLION.

CAUSES OF HATRED OF SPANIARDS. Why Most of the Fighting Is in the Eastern I'art of the Island The Mountains to Which the Insurgents Escape. HE BATTLEfielda of the war in Cuba, thus far, have been confined to the eastern third of the island. The important inland city of Puerto Principe is the western boundary of active agitation, though there have been a few scrimmages, of little note, as far east as Matanzas, and even in the nevirons of Havana.- It is quite certain that Cuba's cause will be won or lost mainly In the region east of Puerto Principe and Santa Cruz on the southern coast. It is easy to see why this eastern end of the island was the field of campaign chosen by the insurgents of 1868-78, and again by those of to-day. In the first place, the much larger development of the railroad system in western Cuba would make it easier there for the Spaniards to mass their forces with celerity against every insurgent band. To-day Gen. Martinez Campos is hampered by the lack of transportation facilities in East Cuba. Then it is far easier to smuggle men and munitions into the island toward its eastern extremity, because all around the periphery of that part of the island the mountains are within a short distance of the sea, and when aid and comfort for the patriot bands are landed in one of the little inlets and are finally got in among the mountains they are practically safe from seizure by the enemy, unless captured after they are taken down to the in- , Seala of Mils Georgetown terior plain. Further, the east end is nearer one or another of the islands whence Cuban sympathizers will im prove every opportunity to send men or material to their friends. It was noteworthy, also, in the ten years' war of 1868-78, that the town Cubans did not take nearly so active a part in the field as their rural brethren; and while the town Cubans are in numerical ascen; dancy in the west, the Cuban planters are the prevailing white native element in the central and eastern parts of the island. A reason, however, more potent than any of these for making East Cuba the chief scene of the war is the fact that here alone are found the mountains in which the Cuban whites and mixed bloods, with their black help, may practically defy subjugation. If they are not strong enough to meet Martinez Campos' soldiers in the open country enclosed by the coast ranges, they can bide their time, watch every movement of the enemy from the hills, swoop down upon him unawares when there is an opportunity to do him damage, capture his supply wagons, and harry him like an insect pest till life is a burden. This is what they did in 1868-78, what they will do now, and in no other part of the island can they carry out similar tactics. Wild and rough as much of Cuba is, it is not the mountainous country that many suppose. Its most important hill features, as this map shows, are grouped in its eastern part. The map indicates the low ranges of hills running through the center of the island and forming the water parting between the north and south flowing rivers; but these hills are not a predominating feature until they approach the extreme western end of Cuba beyond Havana, where Ihey rise to the dignity of mountains. The map shows the position of every settlement of any importance on the island. It therefore indicates all the places that are figuring as centers of operations. Some of the fights, however, are occurring in the neighborhood of hamlets of two or three houses, whose names are not given on any of the existing maps. But every day the dispatches include the names of wellknown towns. Among them is Guantanamo, on the southeast coast, near which, a few weeks ago, Antonio Maceo landed with a handful of followers who grew in a few days to 1,000, and 3,000 men are said to have since rallied to his standard. Near this town some of the hardest fighting has occurred, It was among these wooded mountains of the southeast coast, the highest mountains of Cuba, that both the Maceos, Maximo Gomel!, the commander-in-chief, and Jso Marti, the best-known insurgent

leaders, eluded the vigilance of the Spanish troops en land after they had eseanjd the warships and gunboats uiiich patrol the water front; and here they rallied the greater part of the men who have given them sufficient strength to occupy a number of important points on the interior plain as far west as Puerto Principe. Here is the city of Santiago de Cuba, where most of Gen. Martinez Campos' 20,000 troops from Spain have landed, a few of them remaining at the port while the greater part have been sent inland to occupy important towns. Here is the inland town of Holguin. where the insurgents the other day forced the railroad company that is trying to connect that town with Gibara, on the north coast, to contribute $100,000 to the patriot cause under penalty of the destruction of its property if it refused. Gibara is another port where the Spanish troops are entering Cuba. Here is Bayamo, around which clusters so much of the history of the last war, which is already beginning to play an important part in the present struggle. The Spanish troops have now been pushed in from Gibara to Holguin in the north, and from Santiago and Manzanillo to Bayamo, with the idea of forming a line across the Island. This is all very well, but, unfortunately for Spain, the insurgents are already well established on both sides of the line. Along both north and south coasts of the eastern and central parts of the Island are numerous little rocks and islets on some of which the insurgents had collected the guns and powder which, it now appears, they had been accumulating for many months in preparation for the coming war. It would take more ships than there are in Spain's navy to guard every little cove on this long coast line against the admission of material and men in aid of Cuba's cause. Most of this material was accumulated on islands along the south coast from Santa Cruz to Santiago.

A MAP OF CUBA The rainy season has just begun, and it will last till October. These months are indeed evil days for the Spanish youths who have been taken from their homes to perish, many of them, in the torrid unhealthfulness of the Cuban coast regions. No Cuban insurrection has ever et been very bloody, but all have nevertheless cost enormously in human life. Scores of the Spaniards, fresh from the highest plateaus of Europe, will die of disease where one will be killed in battle. No wonder Spain takes the gravest view of the present situation. In the ten years' war she sent 150,000 men to the island, and 100,000 of them never saw their native land again. Prime Minister Canovas says Spain will never give up Cuba as long as she has a man or a dollar. But is Spain to-day, with an empty treasury and a discontented people, in a position to wage a long warfare in Cuba with a people who, even if they are poor, have advantages which will enable them to make the struggle a period of long agony for their enemies? It may be that, for years to come, the renewed struggle for Cuban independence, which began in February last, will go on. If Spain can stand the fearful drain upon her treasury, if her people will endure the appalling death rate among their soldiers victims, not of bullets, but of the deadly coast climate who knows but the war may be waged for a decade, like the great revolt of 1868-78? The Cubans can keep up the struggle for many years among their eastern mountains, unless, happily, they tire Spain out before the campaign is very old. In the present revolt, as in the six considerable uprisings that have, again and again, plunged Cuba into turmoil since 1829, the Cubans and the Spaniards are arrayed against one another. Many people have very hazy notions as to the distinction between the Cubans and the Spaniards in Cuba. The terms are by no means interchangeable. When a Cuban speaks of a Spaniard on his island he means a man of Spanish blood who was born in Spain. If his sons are born in Cuba they aro Cubans. In the course of one or two generations they become thoroughly Cubans in sentiment, and hate the Spaniards as bitterly as though their ancestors had lived on the island a couple of centuries. We can hardly realize the cordial hatred with which these two peoples regard one another. Associated in business, speaking the same language, attending the same churches, meeting a hundred times a day, thoy never commingle as once people. They scarcely ever form mutual friendships, and, in society, if not in business, each goes his own way. It is a disgrace for a Cuban girl to marry a Spaniard. Her mother will

invite a Spanish youth to her house unless she is certain he is to become a Cuban in sentiment. The world does not present a stranger anomaly than the relations existing between these two kindred peoples. The explanation is not far to seek. It is found in the abnormal political relations of the two classes. The Spaniard goes to Cuba to make what he can out of the island and then, as a rule, he goes home. Cuba has been Spain's oyster for centuries. Most of the thousands of Spanish incomers are government officials, employes and soldiers, whose business it i3 to make all possible pickings for Spain, and, incidentally, to line their own pockets well. The Cuban stands no chance except in the industrial and commercial lines. If he is shrewd or lucky, he may grow rich in commerce or planting, but he can take no part in public affairs, he cannot worship as hi pleases, he has few rights worth mentioning and he is taxed to death. If he owns real estate, he pays thirty per cent of its income into the captain general's treasure box. If he kills an ox he must pay a dollar. It costs him $16 a year to own a carriage or even an ox cart. He cannot engage in any sort of business without buying official permission. H9 cannot sell a horse or build a wharf without paying for a government permit. The Spanish agents, from captain generals down, have almost absolue authority. Some of them have been honest men who have tried to deal justly. The names of many of them have been loaded with infamy. They have bought their offices with the distinct understanding that they were to use official place as a means of acquiring wealth. No wonder a deadly hatred exists between the native Cubans and the mass of Spanish incomers, all of whom are regarded as being, directly or indirectly, the agents of Spain for their impoverishment and abasement. In January last, while the present storm was brewing, the Spanish cortes passed a measure purporting to give

v.. r. riafc. Y.i Cuba a large degree of home rule, while carefully reserving for Spain the decisive voice in everything. The proposed reform excited only derision in Cuba. What reason has Cuba to trust Spain's word? At the close of the ten years' war Spain promised to give Cuba schools, good roads, legislative representation, and many other desirable things. She has broken her pledges In every respect. For some years, to be sure, a handful of Cuban3 have been permitted to sit in the Spanish cortes, but they have not had a particle of power or influence there. It is not strange that most Americans sympathize with the Cuban cause. We have large and intimate business relations with the island, and we know the misery she suffers. We see in this land so near our own, a country most lavishly blessed with natural riches, but ground down by fee most wicked and atrocious misrule with which any colony is cursed. A people who should tamely endure such wrongs as Cuba suffers could have no mind or spirit above those of the slave. We shall see whether the time is ripe for Cuba to throw off the yoke. If so, her sons, some day, will bless the rigors of her low-lying tropical coasts and the almost impenetrable fastnesses of her eastern mountains for the important part they will play in helping Cuba, at last, to stand erect in her own right and manhood. CYRUS C. ADAMS. Looking Forward. The Japanese government is liberal and progressive, and what private corporations will not undertake it does. While it owns the telegraph lines and many of the railroads, all of which are profitable, private corporations own half of the railroads, the telephones, electric light plants and street railroads. Railroads and street car lines pay very handsomely. They are operated cheaply, and the average Japanese is so daft upon the subject of riding that he will spend his last cent to travel to a distant town and walk back. The beds of the railroads are sodded and beautified. One railroad has 200,000 cherry trees planted along the sides. There are something like 40,000 public schools in Japan. The buildings are comfortable and education is compulsory. la the Lobby. First Amateur I say eh whom do you consider the greatest violinist you have ever heard? Second Amateur Ysaye.

CAUSE FOR TITTERS.

usual Occurrence. When Superintendent Ogden of the big Methodist Episcopal Sunday school tapped his bell for silence he failed to get the usual response. Ripples of excitement, in the form of titterings, whisperings and subdued hilarity pervaded the entire room. The cause was ample to account for everything that happened, however, says a Cape May special. At 12 o'clock, noon, in the parsonage beside the church, Clinton Ht.nd of Mlllvllle, and Miss Hannah Kimsey, the very handsome and attractive daughter of William Kimsey, of this city, had been wedded. Bride and groom are members of the Sunday school, and they both took their seats in their respective classes as though nothing unusual had happened. The groom Is a member of Pastor Gifford's class, and the genial gentleman performed the ceremony and, of course, could not find' it in his heart to rebuke the young men who insisted upon congratulating the happy benedict. Mrs. Hand, swathed In rosy blushes, sat in her class, the teacher of which, H. C. Thompson, cashier of the local bank, witnessed the nuptials and was one of the first to offer congratulations. When Mr. Ogden came to know what had happened he did not wonder at the excitement. Low Bates to Colorado. On account of the meeting of the National Educational Association at Denver, Col., July 5th to 12th. 1895. the North-Western Line will sell excursion tickets to Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Manltou at a rate not to exceed one fare for the round trip (with $2.00 added for membership fee). The time limit of these tickets will be extremely liberal, and an excellent opportunity will be afforded for a summer sojourn in the "Rockies," or enjoyable side trips to the Black Hills, Yellowstone National Park or the Pacific Coast.
