In M'ditlon to its consular relrt sentation in the United States tlt Spanish government has appointud consuls for Cuba, who havo boon pro visionally recogized during the mill tnry administration of aafrairs of that island.

I leave not thought It wise to commit the entire government of the islanid to olilcers selected by the people, because I doubt whether in habits, training and expe rience they are such as to fit them to exercise at once .so large a deore of salf.-govunment,, but it, is my judg ment and expectation that tiey will soon 'attain an experience and wisdlomr and self-control that will justify con ferrincg upon themr a m'fdh larger'patr ticipation In the choice of t'he Insular officers.

LYNUCIING MUST UEAS. What I said in 111Y inaugural address of IVI arch 4, 1897, I now repeat. ' The cons.titutional authorities should be cheerfully uphold. Lynch Ings must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like the Un.ited S3tates. Courts, not mjobs, must exe cute the penalties of tile laws. Tuo prov1ervation of public Ordelr, the right of d:scusslon, the integrity of courts, and the orderly administration of jus tico must continue forever the rock of safoty upon which our government so Curely rests." in1 acordanceo with the act of Con grei s providing for anl allppropriate na ttnal celebration in the year 1900 of th establishment, of the seat of gov Lrnment in tho District of Columbia, I .av i appointed IL cJlmitl itoo3 consist ing of the Governors of all the States Ald Torritories of the United States, who have been invited to assemble in Lhe city of Washington oi the 21st of Dhciibar, 1899, wnich, with tha con nittee of the Congress and the District, if Columbia, are charged with the )roper conduct of the celebration.

W. SIRRINE, Supt. -. A GEORGIA TEMPERANCE~ STORY. The Augusta Cnronicie says that Judge E. M. Brinson tells a good story >n himself, which illustrates how the Willingham bill has been absorbing atention in Atlanta. " I strolled into the Senate chamber," said Judge Brin Ron, " while in the capitol, thinking I ould speak with some personal friends there, and with no thought of iscussing the pending bill. Recog izing a former acquaintance I ac osted him and shook hands, but soon iscovered that he did not recall me, Isaid, 'You don't remember who I am.~ This i. Brinson, of the Augusta cr uit.' He had been in the Lcgislature hen I was elected circuit judge and ad voted for me, and I thought giv lg him my name and circuit would ecall to him my identity ; but he was reoccupied with the Wiliingham bill, and had evidently been beset by the reachers, for just this moment anoth r gentlemai came up and pointing o my legislative friend, said to the newcomer : ' This is Parson Birin on : he rides the Augusta eircu it.' He ad taken me for a Methodist preach r on the Augusta circuit, and thought Iwas there to argue with him in be alf of prohibition." Nobody enjoys he joke more than Judge Birinson imself, and the story was so good hat he promptly told it to the mom ers of the bar on his return fromi Alanta. IBROUGHIT HIM TO TIM.-" Well,' emarked the fond, but bashful young an, rising at a late flour to go, " it eems hardly worth while for me tc stay any longer. We are not going to ee any meteors tonight. It is a great isappointment, but I have enjoyedI the evening exceedingly in spit) of hat. And there won't be another treat shower like the one we have is'ed seeing," he added, fingering his tao " for 33 years I" " Well," responded the maiden, look ng dreamily out at the darkened ,kies, " if you'll come we'll sit up and watch for that one, too." Tben he put down his hat. " Katie," he gasped, " do you think ['11 still be coming here us Ia am now 33 years from this time ?" " It looks like it," she replied do murely. On which hint ho spake-and it was still later when ho finally did go. --A curious accident took place at Brookfield, Ind. A local freight train was bacoking into a siding to allow a fast frieght to pass. The switch was eft open, however, and the fast freight, traveling at the rate of thirty miles an hour, dashed into it. The rews of both trains jumped. The im act of the collision was so severe as ~o drive the tender of the stationary rain off Its trucks, and telesco ping a attle car which was loaded with coal, t rested half on the top of the third ar. On the fast froight a car loaded ith hogs was telescoped by one oaded with shelled corn and the anI nals not killed in th< collision werec mothered by the corn. It is said that he locomotives are so interlocked hat dynamite will be retquired to apa rate them. OSBORNE'S FA&#AEA4 n
