The Trial of Sir Wilfrid Blaat.
I Dcw, Oct 26-The trial of Sir

was. not eompetent to decide the

ifmokers will be interested to know
; that not a thousand miles from Al

' large quantities of paper for this
' avowed purpose. The plan of opera

; reaching the tobacco warehouse, is
repeatedly soaked in a strong decoc
tion of the plant. It is then cut up
andt pressed in moulds which give to
each sheet the venation of the gen-
uine leaf of tobacco. So close is the
! imitation that expert tobacco men and
habitual smokers have been deceived.
At a recent gathering in this city
cigars made from this paper tobacco
were handed around and declared tx
I cellent. Many of those present de-
clartd the cigars were made from rare
brands, ando well was the imitation

Several thousand, of the unem

marched in procession Sunday after
, noon at London from Trafalgar
j square to Westminster Abbey and,
I although no invitation had been e.v
j tended, 1200 of the crowd were ad
mitted. The flag was left in charge
of the verger Inside the abbey,
many of the unexpected visitors re
mained covered and indulged in
whistling, while others mounted the
pedestals of the various statues or
mingled with the decent people
present, who mostly left the buiid-

roundings until the. first lesson was
i announced, when the reader was
loudly jeered, completely drowning
his voice. The second lesson was
similarly received. Canon Prothero
then preached a sermon, taking for
his text Romans xii, 1. In his dis
course he argued that the punish- 1
raent of the law-breaker was neces
sary for the good of the communitv.
This was received with cries of "OhV'
Oh:" and "Bosh!" The preacher
earnestly appealed for order and ex
horted his hearers to try and uproot
evil and plant good instead. "That's
v hat we are going to do," was fchouted
aad recehed with cries of "Hear,"
"Hear," a id cheers. Canon Prothero
now threw his notes aside and ad
dressed himself directly to the
roughs. -lie said: ".Legislation could
aione pnmde remedy for hunger and
s iffering, but everybody could ex
press sympathy." (Loud " laughter
followed by a voice: "That's all we
ilrtU get-') Canon Prothero con
toiued: "Charitable agencies do much
(A voice: "We don't want charity;
we want work.") The reverend gen
t.cmen enlibted the attention of the
mob when he advocated State assis
tance in times of distress. At the
close of his remarks the mob hissed
aid marched out of the abbey, cor
dially cheered by their comrades in
waiting outside. The whole then
proceeded shouting and hooting to
Trafalgar square, where the leaders ,
denounced the church and police.
Several arrests were made of brawl
ing persons and thieves.
Heroic Death of a Cuban Insurgent.
Private advices by the last steamer ,
from Havana announce the death of
Beriben, tiie second in command of L
the United Revolutionary forces of
the interior, who led an expedition, j
leaving Key West August 31 and
landing at Bacunayagua, near Ma
tanzas. Six days after landing they
were surrounded in the Morejan .
mountains near Madruga by 2,000 '
soldiers and were compelled to cut :
their way out. Beriben made a :
i charge, which was made in the face j
of a terrible fire, and was among the j
j first seriously wounded, and the only ,
, one of the party fatally so. Believ- '
: ing that his first wound, which '
was in the abdomen and said
t to have disemboweled him, would '
in a lew moments prove fatal,
aad desiring to sell his life
pj dearly as possible, he decided
1o rally his followers to give combat '
to unequal forces, numbering as they
did at least eight to one, and while
advancing at the head of his brave 1
followers he met in a single combat
and killed a Spanish officer, late com- 1
mander of the port of Chirinos, but '
only to be struck to the ground a
moment later, killed by a Spanish j
sabre, Over 500 snots were exchanged
ana several soldiers K.uiea, out no
other filibuster was even so much as
seriously wounded. Ater Beriben's
death, his followers retreated further
into the interior, where they are now
under command of Colonel Manuel
Garcia. A large number of the re
cruits are believed to anticipate leav
ing Key West as soon as opportunity
offers, but 6 the Spanish men-of-war
are now and have been for the past
six weeks closely guarding the island,
and the ram Sanchez from Havana is
in Key West harbor.
Mr. Thnrman'a Farewell.
In closing his speech at Kenton,
Ohio, Saturday last, ex-Senator Allen
G. Thurman said: "My friends, this
is nrobably the last political speech
I ever shall make. I don't know. I
am a pretty tough old fellow, and it
may be that I will be wandering
about here like a ghost on the bank
of Styx ten years from now talking
democracy to you. I swear you will
neverhear me talking anything else.
But I am inclined , to think that this
is the last political speech I ever shall
rJake. And if it is, in my parting
words to ypu I beseech you to stand
by the great principles that Thomas
Jefferson Laid down for the American
people, that Andrew Jackson en
forced, and that have made this conn
try one of th-3 greatest and freest and
most lovable countries upon which
the sun of God shines today. Be
thankful tl at you have such a gov
ernment, aad never forget that, when
you come to sift it down, to analyze
it, to boil it, you will find that every
principle that has contributed to
your happiness is a' principle of the
democratic party."
