It is but natural for tho people
of Cuba to want to govern them
selves, and Congress stands
pledged to grant them this priv
ilege as soon as it can bo done in
justice to all interests involved
When the military shall be with
drawn cannot be now deter
mined, for the good and sufficient
reason that the Cubans them
solves are not preparod to estab
lish any form of native govern
ment. A census of the inhabitants
is being taken, and this, when
complete, will doubtless form the
basis for tho election of ropre
sontatives to some sort of a con
stitutional assembly by which
consideration of a form of gov
ernment may be undertaken.
While this subject is in ale
ance, however, the local munici
pal governments, organizod
under military supervision in
Havana, Santiago and other Cu
ban cities, furnish safo experi
ments in solf -government which
may prove very useful in an edu
cational sense. The Military
Governors have established order
and enforced sanitary regulations
to a gratifying dogree. Business
is reviving, life and property are
safo, tho chief cities of Cuba are
fast becoming as healthy places
of residence as can be found any
where within the tropics. Under
theso conditions, the gradual
transfer of tho duties of munici
pal civil government to intelligent
omciais or uuban nativity is
making satisfactory progress.
and it ought not to be difficult in
this way to extend in good time
application of local self-govern
ment to tho entire island.
It will bo well, however, to
make haste slowly in thisidirec-
tion. Under a military protec
tor ate the Cuban people are
ynjoying peace, safety and free
dom from unjust exactions for
the first time im many years
Tho maintenance of this condi
tion will bo conducive to
speedy restoration of industrial
prosperity. Tho ostablishmont
of public schools in tho centres
of population will gradually do
crease the illiteracy which, ac
cording to General Ludlow,
includes 80 per cent, of the Cuban
people. Until this cloud of
ignorance is in some measure
dispelled self-government in
Cuba must bo of a fragmentary
nature, and there will be nothing
lost to the Cubans themselves in
the exercise of due patience in
this important matter. Phila-

FATAL MISTAKE.
A Doctor Who Was Poisoned by His Own
Medicine,
The Eastbourne police have
just received information of an
extraordinary fatality, of which
tho victim was Dr. John Dick.
Mrs. Eliza Jane Geer, of East
bourne, consulted the deceased at
his surgery. He prescribed for
her and made up a bottle of
medicine which Mrs. Geer car
ried home. The next morning
Mrs. Geer took a dose of the
medicine and became so very ill
that Dr. C H H Cameron, of Old
Town, was sent for and attended
her.
At about 1 p. m. the same day
Dr. Dick called and Mrs. Geer
informed him that the medicine
he gave her had made her ill and
that she believed it had poisoned
her. The suggestion angered the
deceased, who exclaimed, "You
could understand a man who
drinks poisoning people, but not
a man who is always sober. It
is only iron aud bitters, and to
show you it is not poison I will
take some myself."
Deceased then put the bottle
to his lips and drank some of the
contents and then said: "It is
nasty, but you should not think
it poison. I will take some more
before I go." This Dr. Dick did
after some further conversation
and then rode away on his bi
cycle.
He apparently proceeded di-
rect to his home, whereupon his
sister, Miss Kate Dick, opening
the door to lot him in she found
him foaming at the mouth and he
fell against the door. He asked
for the stomach pump, which be
used with some effect, and he
was afterward attended by two
other doctors. It was at one
time hopod that his life might
have boon saved, but he expired
on Sunday.
The contents of the bottle
stated to have been givon by the
deceased to Mrs. Geor have been
analyzed, and it is reported that
they contain a large quantity of
strychnine. London Globe.
Making Lumber on l Big Scale.
The Wilmington Morning Star
says the Rowland Lumber Com
pany will run a branch of rail
road, 25 to 40 miles long, into
Faison, Duplin county, tapping
a very fine lumber region, where
they will erect a two-band saw
mill, planing machines and nec
essary appendages, The capac
ity of the mill will be 100,000 feet
of lumber per day, employing
about three hundred hands for
mill f.nd railroad.
Fire From Linseed Oil.
The steamship, Patria, burned
in the North Sea on Thursday.
The remarkable part is that the
fire was from the spontaneous
combustion of linseed oil. We
romember to have read a warning
that a rag, with which linseed had
been applied, dropped into
shavings or other combustible
matter is liable to ignite and pro
duce a fire.
Seemed Like Prophesy.
Major Logan said to a friend
when he accepted his commission
as major to sorvo in the Philip
pines, "If it is my fortune to lose
my life in the war I hope it will
be at the front, leading my
troops." It was fulfilled as
prophesy.

B. F. LONG, JR. KILLED.
The ChapM Hill Train Strikes Him
While Ho Is Waiting for the Train
6lng to Raldgh-IIo Was Crushed
Badly and Died From the Effects.
A sad and horrible accident
occurred at Chapel Hill station
Thursday morning when Mr. B
F Long, Jr., of Statesville, was
struck by the Chapel Hill train
while waiting for the train to
arrive going to Raleigh.
The train knocked him to the
ground and dragged him some
distance, but fortunately the
wheels did not go over his body.
When the cars wore stopped he
was fastened and could not be
released for a considerable time,
Before he could be released from
under the car, suffering most in
tensely by the breaking of his
righ thigh, left arm, and collar
bone, he bogged most pitifully
that ho be killed rather than suf
fer such pain.
All aid could not save his life
and at 8 o'clock Thursday night
he died at the Watts hospital at
Durham. A gloom Is cast over
the body of students at the Uni
versity by the loss of their mate
who was a bright and promising
young man. His father reached
his bedside before he died, but
his mother did not reach there
until about 2 o'clock that night,
Brandon Means, who is at
tending school at Mebane, and
the young man Long, had both
been telegraphed by their fath
ers to come down to Raleigh
whore Mr. Means and Mr. Long
were attending supreme court.
Brandon was present whon the
young man was takon from un
dertho car. As a relief from his
awful pains ho bogged Brandon
to kill him.
Going to Judgment. TZ
Speaking about the stars fall
ing tonight, an old citizen said
this morning "I recollect dis
tinctly 66 years ago last night
whon the stars foil." i
The chickens crowed, the ne
groos were wild and thousands
thought judgment day had como.
An amusing incident in this con
nection, ne said, was that of an
old woman who lived on the lot.
His family wore looking out of the
window at the wonderful phe
nomena when they spied the old
woman coming through the lot
to the house. In answor, to an
inquiry as to whore she was go
ing she replied: "1 am coming
to join the family to go to judg
mont." Ono of tho most ludic
rous features was the fact that
the old woman had a blanket in
one hand and held a frying pan
in the other. Times-Visitor.
American Fish In Paris.
The fcScientihc American ap
prises Americans who attend the
Paris Exposition next year, that
restaurants and hotels will con
tain on the bills of fare the va
rious choice varieties of Ameri
can fish fresh caught, and that
it will be no sham either. It
comes about this way. The
national fish commissioners have
been exchanging stocks of fish to
the groat advantage of Europe,
for Amorican fish stick and
thrive in tho European waters,
and surpass in toothsomeness
the native fish. America, how-
even, has gained nothing by the
exchange.

Reflections of a Grass widow.
A wedding foe is not wholly
wastod. It helps to support the
preacher.
Never throw a pair of old
shoos after a brido. Save them
and give them to her. She will
need them somo day.
If you are faithful in sewing
tho buttons on your husband's
trousers he will think you ought
to be able to make your own
bonnets.
If you humbly ask your hus
band for money you spoil him.
If you demand it ho raises a fuss
and wants to know if you think,
by George, he is one of the
Rothschilds.
If your husband turns out to
be the man you thought he was
when you married him, and nev
er gives you a cross word, don't
tell any other wife about it. She
will not believe you.

THE NEWS IX WASHINGTON.
The Dewej-Hazen Wedding Devoid
of Display-A Big Effort Being Made
to Unseat Roberta.
From onr Regular Ooi respondent
Married. Dowoy-Hazen: On
Thursday morning, November 9,
1899, at ten o'clock at the rectory
of St. Paul's Catholic church, by
Rev. James F Mackin, George
Dowoy and Mildred M Hazon,
both of this city. No cards.
At loast the newspaper mon
didn't got any. As usual, Cousin
George took time by the foro
lock, and the abruptness of tho
affair was a surprise to every
body. The only witnesses were
the mother and sister of the
bride, and Liout. Caldwell, the
Admiral's secretary.
As Dewey is not a Catholic, a
special dispensation was required
for the performance of the cere
mony, and this was procured
from Bishop Curtis, vicar gen
eral of the diocese of Baltimore.
After the ceremony, which did
not Uke more than ten minutes,
a wedding breakfast was served
at the home of Mrs. Washington
McLean, the bride's mother.
The brido and groom thon left
quietly for New York, traveling
as meroly private citizens, and
avoiding all display.
For the benefit of the ladios
it may be well to say that the
brido was gowned in a pearl
gray silk, over which she wore a
black wrap, trimmed with silver
fox and lined with lavender silk.
The Admiral wore the regulation
frock coat, light trousers, and
silk hat.
Aftorall, Cousin Goorgo has
only followed the example of an
othor illustrious Goorgo, in neg
lecting Weller's advice to
"bo ware of viddors."
Many entertainments are bo
inir ulannod by society for the
happy couplo, and unloss thoy
so wish, they nood never par

Now that the elections are
over, members of Congress are
flocking into town. Tho main
topics under discussion are tho
eold standard crusado, and the
Roberts case. Those Congress
mon already hero are simply be
ing delugod with potitions
against Roberts. The wife of
Congressman Joy, ,of Missouri,
has sent a letter dated from
Washington to the wife of every
member of tho next houso, ask
ing each of them to uso her in
fluonco with hor husband to pro
vent tho seating of Roberts. It
is noodless to say that the sov
eral Mrs. R's were omitted on
this mailing list. Documents
resolutions, and potitions adverse
to Roberts have boon showered
in until the pigoon-holos in the
committee rooms of the Capitol
are filled to bursting. One Con
gressman alone claims to have
received over five thousand of
these papers from individuals
and organizod bodies.
Whon Congress meets, tho
fight is expected to wax very
lively, and it looks just now as
if Mi". Roberts will have to work
to retain his seat.
Early in the week Prosiden
McKinley wont to Canton, as is
his usual custom; to vote. Fol
lowing his roturn comes a strong
report that Senator Hanna will
have no hand in the campaign of
1900. Since tho latter's recent
taik about the harmless nature of
trusts, the President has received
many letters advising that his
henchman had committed a grave
blunder and had bettor be thrown
over.
Politicians on the insido say
that tho President will accept
tho inevitable. There are many
thintrs to crive color to this re
port.
Senator Hanna was backing
Judge Paxson, of Pennsylvania,
as Interstate Commerce Com
missioner to succeod Mr. Cal
houn. Senator Cullom, however,
secured the appointment of ex
Governor Fifor, of Illinois.
This is claimed to be tho first
time that any of Senator Han
na's friends have been turned
down. The President has also
takon occasion to spoak warmly
of Senator Forakor, who, as
everybody knows, was frozen
out by Hanna. The large labor
vote, too, that went to Mr. Jones
in the late oloction might be ex
pected to have somo offoct.
Altogether, tho report seems
to bo more than moro rumor. In
case it is true, Chairman Dick,
wtin mftniicml NuhVi'h nnmnnitrn1
V?tl manftcoa NaShS Campaign
against McLean, is said to be
slated as Senator Hanna's suc
cessor. The moinbors of tho diplomatic
corps have had a busy woek,
especially tho representatives of
those nations interested in the
Chinese question. There is little
doubt that all theso embassies
are armed with instructions from
their respective governments.
From tho numorous visits of the
the staff of the Chinese minister,
an out-sider would think that the
State Department was about to
open a laundry.
Admiral Schley has had swords
thrust upon him, and even a
home looms up as a not far dis
tant gift, but probably the
honor that he will most appre
ciate is that of having been made
a Knight Templar in the short
space of throe weeks. By special
arrangement this weok, as the
Admiral is about to go on soa
duty, three degrees wore con
ferred in one evening. This is
the most rapid rise in the degrees
of Masonry that has ever oc
curred during the history of the
order in this city. The Schly
Home fund, by the way, is in
creasing nicely, now that good
businoss men have takon the
mattor in charge.
It will interest those who are
seeking positions in that work to
loarn that the Census force has
not enough businoss just now to
keep it going. The number of
applications, as might bo ex
pected, is enormous. Director
Morriam states positively that
there will bo no moro appoint

Washington ladios are sudor
ing at the hands of a mysterious
