PHILADELPHIA.
Governor Matthews and Captain Kerr
Make Rousing Speeches.
The cause of Cuba was eloquently
and boldly advocated at Philadelphia,
Thursday night at a meeting held nn
der the auspices of the Philadelphia
firigafle, Pennsylvania reserves. The
principal address of the evening was
made by Governor Matthews, of Indi-
8 na who delivered the speech upon
“Free Cuba” that he had prepared to
deliver at the Atlanta exposition.
Governor Matthews was followed oy
Gonzales de Qaessda, of New York,
the secretary of the Cuban junta. M.
de Quesada made an impassioned and
dramatic speech, appealing to the
sympathies of the audience for the
6trnggling Cubans and asking that they
be recognized as belligerents by this
government. Resolutions of sym
nathv and promises to aid the Cubans
were adopted. The resolutions also
called upon the senators and represen
tatives of Pennsylvania and upon the
two houses of congress when they
meet to pass a concurrent resolution
directing the president to recognize
ibe “republic qf Cuba” as a belliger¬
ent nation.
A committee of the Philadelphia
brigade will present the resolutions to
Mr. Cleveland. Captain W. W. Kerr,
assistant district attorney of Philadel¬
phia, made the most radical speech of
the evening in favor of the Cubans.
Captain Kerr has attained wide noto¬
riety of late as the owner of the steam¬
ships Leon and Laurada, which have
been accused of landing filibuster¬
ing expeditions upon the shores
of Cuba. Captain Kerr boldly
proclaimed , . , h ,. ls right ... under , the ,,
laws of this country to land men
and munitions of war upon the coast
of Cuba, and that the burden of pre¬
venting h m doing this rested upon
the maintenance of a blockade by
Spain. He ridiculed and derided the
opinion of Attorney General Harmon
that the laws of this country prevented
him from doing this and asserted that
under orders from Washington every
custom inspector in the ports of the
United States has become a Spanish
spy.

Check In General Trade Still Contin
lies—Increase in Failures.
Biadstreet’s review of trade condi
tioos for the past week says:
"The cheek to general trade which
has been conspicuous for the past few
weeks still continues. Unseasonably
mild weather and rains have intensi
fled this feature, which is more con
epicuous south, where the decline in
the price of cotton and consequent
check to shipments are held to be
partly responsible. But the demand
for staples increases on the appear
snee of seasonably cold weather, the
result being large orders for wooleDS,
shoes, rubbers and holiday specialties,
“Complaints are made in Texas of
reduced shipments f. of cotton and crop
estimates there are again -ii lowered,

100,000,000 A A n n bushels larger than the
crop report last spring.
“While perhaps textile mannfactur
ers are fairly well employed, they de
dare it is without material profits.
Wool remains quiet with a fair in
quiry, although manufacturers are not
adding to their stock. Uncertainty as
to prices of leather checks buying of
shoes by retailers, which depresses the
manufacturing industry. There is less
demand for iron and steel and prices
for standard varieties are lower, about
one-half of the year’s advance having
been lost.
Marked Increase in Failures.

The Island of Cuba.
Under the existing conditions of
revolution in Cuba, and the probabil
being ZZJ‘.
as entitled to all the rights of
belligerents, a few statistics concern
ing the importance of Cuba, its popu
Nation, and commercial relations with
this country will not be inappropriate.
The island of Cuba comprises an
area of about 46,000 square miles,
ubout one-fovfrth smaller than the
state of Florida, though the popula
tion is mucb more flense, Cuba having
? ver 1,600,000 inhabitants, while Flor
^ as ft bout 450,000 at the present
time - 0f Cuba’s population nearly
two-thirds are white. The chief
clties of the island are as follows:
Havana, the capital, with a pop
ulation of 200,000; Santiago de Cuba,
70,000; Puerto Principe, 46,000;
Holguin, 35,000; Matanzas, 27,000;
St. Jago, 27,000. The total revenues

timated at $25,000,000 per annum,

estates is $220,000,000. In a ^ood
J ear the exports of Cuba reach $90,
000,000 in value, comprising sugar,
tobacco, cigars, molasses, cedar and
hardwoods, iron ore and tropical
fruits. Two thousand vessels with a
tonnage of 2,500,000, trade with the
island annually. In return the United
States exports to Cuba merchandise
and supplies of all descriptions to a
value of $24,000,000 and over. Of
the $90,000,000 exported annually by
Cuba, about five-sixths of it comes to
this country.
Diseases of Fowls.

they are too sick to eat, force it down

Roup.— Take sulphate of zinc; wet
the finger, then dip it in the zinc and
rub into the fowl’s mouth; repeat
twice, applying three times a day. Or
inject a solution of copperas water into
the nostrils and down the throat. The
fowls should be kept in a warm, dry
place.
Scaly Legs. — This disease can be
cured by applying a mixture of coal

carbolic acid added; apply twice a

it shows in the color of the cheek, the rounding of the

It is cod-liver oil digested for you, slipping as easily

Too much bard study at school brought on
Vitus’ dance. Such was the common ex
perienee of Miss Glendora Rivers, daughter
j, { Mrs. Amelia Rivers, oi 69 Ry
erson street, Brooklyn. The disease grew
worse every month, until the young lady’s
entire right side became paralyzed; but, now
that a marvelous and permanent cure has
been wrought, It will be interesting to read
her own version of the efficacy of Dr. Will¬
iams’ Pink Pills.
“For more than a year,” said Miss Rivers,
“doctors attended me without effecting the
slightest change in my condition. If any¬
thing, I grew worse under their treatment,
until February of this year, when my condi¬
tion became critical.
“I had lost the complete use of my arms
and limbs and speech. I could only swallow
liquids, and these only as they fed me with a
spoon, when they could got my mouth open.
I wanted to sleep all the time. The stupor I
laid in was something like a trance, and no
doubt I would have died if they had not
waked me up at intervals.
“The first week in March my mother, who
Isa siok nurse, was advised by a neighbor to
try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in my case. She
got some of the pills—a box from Neilson’s
drug store, at the comer of Myrtle avenue
and Hall street. Before I had taken one
half the contents of the box a remarkable
change was noticed in my condition.
“Gradually I regained the uso of my
arms and linbs and speech, and by the time
the pills were gone I was up and about the
house almost well. But my mother thought
it wise to get another box of the pills, stand and be¬
this she did, and here strength you see and me
fore you with more more am¬
bition than I ever had.
“Some of our near neighbors attribute my
regained body and health to some miracu¬
lous or supernatural agency; but my mother
and most intimate friends know that the
cure was effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills.
"Three weeks from the day I swallowed
the first dose of the pills I was as well as you
see me Williams’ to-day.” Pink Pills for Pale People
