BLACK IS NOW GOVERNOR.
Havana, Jam. 1.—A reporter of the
larlo Ve La Marina han hail an In
terview with Capt.-Oen. Weyler In the
Mata Toro camp. Hpeaklng of the slt-
uatlon In the province of l’lnar del R!o,
Ucn. Weyler aald that. speaking from
the standpoint of strength and Import
ance, the Insurgent* remaining in that
province had been crushed. The few
Insurgent* remaining were oblig'd to
hJdo like wolves In their caves. Fevi
arid smallpox had thinned the rel
rank*. Hie own column and thoKe of
the other Hpanluli commanded had
overrun tho bane and Interior of the
hills and had met no rebels. The In-
aurgents, after the* death of Macro,
wene without a leader. Itavera, Macro's
succ*<»aor, woa unpopular among hi*
men. Gen. Weyler added that hfa
statement would bo confirmed after
Gena. Melgulzo and Arolaa had com
pleted their operations, which Included
the sweeping of the province from west
to card. Gena. Hernandez, Velasco,
Obregun, Bernal, Ruiz, Fuentea and 8e-
gura were now in the center of the
hills. Perhaps Gen. Aroian was also
there. Once the Rubl fifll* were forti
fied, a severe blow might !*• .directed
against the rebels under Ducaaws. ,Oen.
Weyler aald In conclusion that he wotoJd
allow no houses to be built on the out-' -
*klits of tho town, aa were they con
structed they would serve mostly as
refuges for bandits.
An odd feature of the above interview
Is that Gen. Weyler, while declaring
that Plnar del Rio la practically free
of Insurgents, flnda it necessary to have
the Kubl hills fortified before he will
attempt to strike a blow at the rebels
under Ducaosls.
Denied the Drowning.
New York, Jan. 1.—Cubans In this
city scout the report of the drowning
of the members of the Three Friends
•expedition. They note the fact that the
news comes by way of Madrid, though
the Island is not far from Key West
and such a disaster must of a certainty.
If true, have reached then*.
Dr. Cost 1 Mo of the Cuban junta said:
“The report Is ridiculous. There Is no
truth in it. It Is a pure fabrication.
We know where our men are. They
are all right.“ Beyond this the doctor
would say nothing.
It wan learned today that subsequent
to the landing of the expedition on the
key, two of the party took a small sail
boat and went to Key West. They sub
sequently returned to the Island in the
name manner they had come. The fact
that they were* able to make the jour
ney In a small boat was considered
sufficient evidence that It is nob far dis
tant from Key West.
Gen. Palma was out of town today,
having gone to his home In Pleasant
Valley.

cessor la Office—Public Received
by the New Executive.
Albany, N. Y., Jen. 1^—Governor
Frank H. Black was inaugurated today.
Pleasant weather ushered ln.hls Inaug
ural day. The ceremony was a simple
and Smprepaive one. The time neces
sary to conduct the Installation cere
monies was brief. Governor Black
never cares for ostentation and the In
augural exercises today were entirely
in keeping with his views of such func
tions. The governor took the oath of
office In the assembly chamber In the
presence of hundreds of Republicans
from all over the state. The walls of
tho chamber surrounding the speaker's
rostrum had boon appropriately draped
for the occasion with national and state
colors, with the coat of arms of the
state In the center. A large platform
had been provided, extending out from
the speaker's desk, accommodating thf
Inaugural party and the state officers.
Admission to the assembly chamber
was by card. Several thousand Invita
tions had been Issued by Seoretary of
.State Palmer, and the chamber and
corridors Immediately adjoining were
uncomfortably crowded. The desks of
the members had been removed and
seats were provided for about 1,500
guests. The guests were allowed to en
ter the assembly chamber about an
hour before the inaugural party, and
the room was soon crowded.
Governor Black nnd his staff arrived
on a special train from *Troy at 10:35
o’clock this morning under the escort
of tho Twenty-first, Twelfth and Six
teenth, separate companies of Troy,
and was met at the; station by the
Tenth battalion of Albany and the
Third brigade signal corps. The, line
of march was then taken up to the
capital.
The military escort left the guberna
torial party at the State street entrance
to tho capftol. Governor Black and
staff proceeded to the executive cham
ber and mi-t tin* retiring governor and
hls staff.
Hero Secretary of State Palmer and
the Archbishop of Albany, the Right
Rev. William Croswell Doane, were
waiting. The Inaugural party pro
ceeded to the assembly chamber nt 11:30
o’clock.

military staffs, arrayed in their gor
geous uniforms.
Tho secretary of state presided nt the
inaugural ceremonies, which commenced
ns soon as the party had-been seated.
The Right Rev. Bishop Doane led lu
prayer.
Governor Merton was then introduced
by Secretary of State Palmer. The gov
ernor deliver his address to the people
of the state as their retiring chief ex
ecutive and the manner in which hi*
remarks were received was a testimonial
of tho appreciation of liis auditors. Gov
ernor Morton’s speech consisted of a
lengthy review of recent constitutional
and statutory development, expression of
thanks to the people of the state f<?r the
honors conferred upon him. and ii few
congratulatory remarks to hi* successor
In office. The secretary of state then ad
ministered the constitutional oath of of-
fliv' t«> Governor-elect Black.
The address which Governor Black de
livered, after -being Introduced by the
secretary of state, was brief, hut hi* re
marks received pleasing recognition. This
ended the ceremonies, which ujere en
livened by patriotic strains from the
Tenth Regiment band.

TELLS OF HER QUEER ESCAPADE.
Princess do Cfclmsy-CteraafeMi Is Inter
viewed »t Badn-Psstb.
Buda-Pesth, Dec. SO.—The presence
hereof Princess de Chimay-Caraman,
formerly Miss Clara Ward of Detroit,
Mich., who eloped from Paris last
summer with a Hungarian gipsy musi
cian named Janes I Rlgo, bas caused a
sensation In certain circles.
The princess yesterday received a
d**l«*gatlon of members of the press, to
whom she spoke in the freest manner.
Hhe said that it was Incorrect to sug
gest that her hudbbnd, a Belgian noble
man of French extraction, had be
haved in an ungentlemanly manner to
ward tier. On the contrary, she Insist
ed. tho prince had always conducted
himself «« a gentleman. But he was of
a cold, reserved nature, and was al
ways more nt his club or on the turf
than with hls family. The couple have
two children living.
The princess was then asked why She
left her husband, and replied:
“That Is a remarkable story. I have
also usked myself why I have done so,
nnd I can find no reply to the question.
Soon after our marriage I went with
my husband to Brussels. At first I
fount! the Belgian aristocracy very
sympathetic. When, however, there
was talk of a high personage having
shown me special favor an entire
change occurred. The sympathy first
shown me was withdrawn, and there
fore 1 went to Paris. I there became
acquainted with M. Jancsi in the Cafe
FaJlkird. He was acting as bandmas
ter. He liked me better than his be
loved music. Tho rest you knowV
In conclusion the princess said:
‘I should like very much to see my
children again, but the law has given
them to their father. I, on the other
hand, have given up half my Income,
$15,000, for their education. I shall re
main two months in Hungary.”*
The ‘‘high personage” referred to by
the princess In this interview is under
stood to be King Leopold of Belgium,
and is said to have furnished the cause
for the refusal of the queen of Belgium
to be Introduced to the princess at a
garden p<arty at La«ken. the royal park
and palace near Brussels.
The suit for divorce instituted d>y the
prince against his wife Is now in prog
ress at Charleroi, Belgium. They first
mot at Nice and were married in the
presence of the United States and
British ambassadors.
Rlgo is now said to be trying to in-
duco his wife to commence divorce pro
ceedings against him. promising her a
large sum of money if she will do so.
It Is added, however, that the deserted
woman refuses to take this step, ns It
would enable Rigo to marry the prin
ce*.*.

From the New York Times.
That is a very melancholy announce
ment which Judge Bcekm<m has found
hJmFclf obliged to make, that the plans
of the late Samuel J. Tildtn for the
benefit foTtWJfagA lrgffy~fl.ro cqina
^ff.^Tely frustrated and nullified Try hls
failure to make proper provision for
exocuUnff them. The pronoMd little li
braries at Yonkers and Now Lebanon
go the way of tho proposed graat li
brary for New York. A fragment has
Indeed been saved from the estate for
the larger purpose, but it has been ob
tained through a private arrangement
with the only one of Mr. Tllden’s heirs-
at-law who has shown the least dis
position to respect hls undoubted in
tentions nnd carry out his will, it is at
least sttipfactory thnt this exceptional
heiress should still bo, as Mr. Tilden
Intended that she should be, the chief
beneficiary of hls fortune.
The moral that even a lawyer cannot
trust himself to draw hla own will la
a trite one. and Is said to have been
illustrated In the case of u lord chan
cellor whose will was found Invalid.
What makes the failure of Mr. Ttl-
den's good Intentions so particularly
pitiful la that the plan which U
wrecked was hls cherished purpose, al
most of a lifetime, and also that no
private injustice was done in hls en
richment of the public. It was suffi
ciently shown when the litigation arose
that the claim of those heirs-nt-law
who disputed the *w111 was exclusively
legal and technical. The testator had
no real heir* except the public. If hls
will could have been carried out. It
would have furnished a fresh illustra
tion of the truth of Bacon's saying:
“Certainly the best works and of the
great^t merit for the public have pro
ceeded from the unmarried or child
less men, who, both in affection and
means, have married and endowed the
public.'' That was eminently true of
Mr. Tilden. He did “marry the public"
during hi* lifetime, expending upon It
the “affection’’ which men more hap
pily situated bestow upon their families.
Politic* was to him a pleasure, or *
passion, but never a means of liveli
hood. nor. directly or indirectly, of
money-getting. He thus “married the
public" while he was alive, and he
attempted to endow It after hls death.
Could he have foreseen the failure of
this attempt, the close of hls life would
have been greatly embittered.
Burt there ts another sentence of Ba
con’s which might have been com
mended to Mr. Tilden In hls lifetime,
and which may be commended to such
of hts survivor* as cherish a like pur
pose with hls: "Defer not charities till
death: f«»r, certainly. If a man weigh
it rightly, he that doth so is rather
liberal of another man's than of his
ostj." It was impossible for Mr. Tilden
to spend the income of his fortune,
or a great proportion of It. so as to
conduce to his own happiness, and. as
we have seen, there was nobody who
had ary better claim upon the princi
pal than the public. If he bad himself
carried out the scheme of his own be
nevolence he would have been remem
bered by his beneficiaries as gratefully
as Peter Cooper is remembered, who

Gentlemen .-—Replying to your favor of
recent date, I called on Mrs. Jane Culver,

much about her case before I sent to see

her, and when they learned that she hod
actually arisen from her bed and could "sit
up,” it was felt that little less tlmn a resur-
rection bod happened in their rald*t.
Yet imagine the astonishment when a
week or two later it was announced in the
“valley” that she could icalk, nnd when
she was, at last, really able to meet and
shake hands with friends in the door, yard,
or upon the street, it was felt that truly a
miracle had been wrought in their midst.
X found Mrs. Culver, a pleasant faced, at
tractive little woman, about her household
work when I called on June 5tb. She was,
In fact, picking over gooseberries, and her
first remark after greeting was that in all her
fifiy-eight years she could not recall
“early ” a season for fruit and garden stuff
as the present. She talked freely of her long,
sad illness—the dreary track of pain and
weakness over which for twenty ycars her
body had been racked, and told with evident,
happiness of her wonderful cure. "The truth
is,” she said, “I was dead and am ali
again.” And there was no lack of enthusiasm
In her voice as she spoke of the sovereign
remedy which had wronght such wonder
work for her. She was surrounded hy tho
members of her family,her buhbind,daughter
and grandchildren, ar.d Pink Pills was cer-
thinly the burden of their happy conversa
tion during my visit.
But her cure, after all, is best summed up
in her own simple nnd succinct statement,
which she made in the hope of doing good
to others. *
Mrs. Culver Is a woman of education nnd
refinement. Her husbnfid was postmaster
at Wyoming during President Harrison*!
administration. Among those of thcii
neighbors who can further attest the (acts in
her cacoaro the present postmaster and his
wife, Mr. nnd Mrs. Richard Dnnstan, Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Parks, Mr. n(id Mrs. Solon
Knickerbocker, and scopes of otheVs livi
here in the town and valley of Wyoming.

Special Dispatch to the GWbe-Domocrat.
New York. Dec. 30.—Miss Ella Collin
tonight exchanged her aiinplt* lot
daughter of Peter Collin, a tailox^.x-ho
lives on the second fioor at 377 Fourth
avenue, for that of a queen who will
rule over Iho women tnSJt*sovereignty
of nearly 30,000 «£y&. Her right to this
title > anii powerw-as because of her niar-
rtage to tJWT John Fletcher of Hobba,
king, of the Cannibal Islands of llllku.
The ceremony wo* performed -by the
Rev. Maurltz Stolpe. pastor, of the Gus-
tavus Adolphus Swe<lisli Lutheran church
In East Twenty-second street. Instead of
the pictnrcsAiue costume a^ king of the
Cannibal Islands of Illlka. which some
of the hrlde’H friends hopwl he would
wear, lie wore evening dress, with a
vpray of lilies of the valley as a bouton
niere. Tiie bride wore a gown of white
satin with tulle trimmings, and a bridal
veil, and curried a bouquet of walte
roses and lilies of tho va’.ley. She was
attended hy her slater. Miss Alice Col
lin. nnd M>s Clara Carison, George
Shawde and Gi'orge Collin, brother of the
bride, looked after the king's Interests.
When the Rev. Mr. StoCpo made the
couple one, the king proclaimed hi* wife
queen in the language which, for the
edification the bride and the guests,
was translated a* “I take you, inealio,
to my royal house, and wake you queen
of my throne of the 'women.”
Mcalie means “my sweet, soothing spir
it forever all over the world.”
A flashlight photograph was taken of
the wedding party. The king will take
the picture to hid island homo, where
the wondering native* may look tipon it
and marvel on at ate occasions.
After the wedding the “king" gave an
audience to newspaper reporter*, aud thWi
is what he told them:
Col. Hobbs about six year* ago wo*
sent as a special commissioner by a Syd
ney <N. 8. W.) new*p*P<T t0 investigate
the condition of an aboanluable traffic
in Polynesian* hy the Queensland Sugar
Cane Grower*. Col. Hobbs’ achoouer wak
wrecked hy a hurricane, lie was ca»t
adrift, nnd after floating by means of a
life belt until nearly exhausted, was
picked up by a canoe manned by na
tive* of Illlka, which hy the way. is a
South 8ea Island not on the map. They
did not devour him. hut /treated him kind
ly, and in return he rendered them aerv-
ices which led to hi* being created a war
chief and king at the death of Oumalea,
the reigning monarch.
Cannibalism ha* been abolixhed in the
Uland. which 1* rich in pearl flaheritv,
and wanted both by France and Eng
land.
_Col. Hohb* refused an offer of knight
hood and $75,000 for the privilege of
working the pearl shell deposits of the
island. It* population la 38.000 soul*.
The royal couple will shortly lea re for
the king’s American heme, near New-
burg. 8. C., where he was born thirty-
six yearn ago. and lived the major part
of hJs life as plain John Hobbs.
