Her house In the Cerro has been a veritable political rendezvous. ni her salon Is one which many n North ern woman may envy. The strides toward personal Inde pendence which the Cuban woman has made In the past year are almost startling In their daring lines, when one considers her former abject sub nilsslveness. Independence with her has aroused a llcry and adiulrablii In solence. Itefore the Cuban revolution the Sun day evening promenade was the Cu ban girl's sole glimpse of society. She spent the entire week with Hie modiste to prepare her gown for Hie occasion. And It was mil even a fashionable ball of some function of Slate, or even a crowded reception, where she might go to talk a little or especially to ap pear noticeably overdressed, but sim ply one hour's promenade on Hie pi n..it lo stare at cpressloide;-s mov ing lines of men and women, l'.ut In those old tumultuous days before American Intervention that promenade had a ileup slgnilicam e. It was the lime when Ihe young men selected (heir life partners, and they seemed to pass in parade like prize animals, to be awarded later with bin.; ribbons for superiority in renin or carriage. The sexes mingled s i little 111 society and the Cuban girl was so keenly cognizant of the fact that semi-freedom at least lay in mairl'iiiiny that a single exchange of glances between two people was often followed three or four days Inter by Hie announce lui'tit of their engagement. Tims mat rimony was the only refuge for the Cuban girl from the slier monotony of dress planning and piazza prome nading. Her married life was scarce ly m ire broad, except Hint it brought the lesponsibllitles of housekeeping and the training of witless servants. The Might to the States and the exile there during the revolution of scores of Cuban women taught them the beauty of American Independence, bo far as women were concerned. o Now that the war Is long past nnd the sting of Ihe old wrongs and wounds has vanished, now Hint the I'railo of Havana palpitates again with a cureless fashionable crowd, anil the band of Ihe American Infantry regiment catches the carwlth popular ditties, and all the street lamps blaze brightly, and the cabs wheel furiously, so rhat the "I'arke Centrale" Is like a glimpse of Madison Square at night -now conies the real revolt in Ihe de mands of the Cuban women. They want to be freed I'rom the senseless conventionalities of their own people and the rigorous restrictions that are their birthright. El Socorro, organized by an Ameri can woman for the relief of the desti tute, Is composed almost entirely of Cuban women. It was Ihe lirst means of bringing the women together for organized club work. Its musicales and (hini iiig parties given as a melius to gather funds together are most suc cessfully and conscientiously planned. The fruits of the club have been dis tributed with wisdom. Its work is effectual nnd fur reaching and there Is some talk of Its allillatiou Willi Hie federation of Women's Clubs in the I'uited States. The brilliant success of I'd Socorro, the Sorosis of Cuba, has Inspired some of the younger Cuban women lo orga nize what. Is called "The Open Win dow Club." lis formation meatisdowu rlght rebellion from the old forms. It means that Miss Cuba is going to shop alone when she chooses, nr.

It makes the qualm old Spanish thor oughfare look like a maliuee iiflcrtinou In the States when the women meet to eut Ices at well-known resorts, and to discuss the latest fashion decrees or some popular girl's wedding. The organization of the "Open Window Club" means Hint Ha- women have de cided to read and study, to keep in touch Willi the world, to lie independ ent, assertive and even aggressive. The lulluence of American women In Cuba has shown them that clever ness and savolr fa be among them arc not Impossible acquisitions. Many are convent bred, with a knowledge of English and h'tcuch. They sing well and play Hie piano wllh expression. Hitherto their training ended then1. OradiiMllon from the local convents 1 1 ii-ii n I the height of culture. Now the Cuban woman awakened at last to what cull lire really means, has de clared her intention to aspire to it. The I'ulversity of Havana has opened its doors to women. I'p to the present time only three Cuban women may boast of a degree from that In stitution. Two are now practicing medicine In Ihe Cuban capital, the third Is a lawyer. It Is safe to pre dict from the present aspect of affairs that before another live years passes the halls of the grand old university will be crowded with women vying like Yankee girls for honors beside tin- men. ' It rather startled the gay crowd on the Trade the lirst time a Cuban girl was seen driving nlotie along the leafy boulevard in a fashionable American trap and a nicely matched pair of grays. She bundled the reins dexter lotisly, and her Importance was only exceeded by her complete self-possession. It happeiied only n few months ago.

OxunrU Courier. , 1 1 l-:ronotnl Ynlll of flood ICoKdN, TIIEKE is food for thought In the report, of the Maryland ecological Survey. In the (, lirst place we are told that the people of Maryland have expend ed, during the lust ten years, upon the so-called construct loll and repair of their own roads, the sum of no less limn ?(I.ikio,(khi. It seems that the greater part of this money has been flittered away In the attempt to re pair roads which have been poorly laid out In the lirst place, and for the lack of certain necessary engineering quullllcntlntiK can. In Hie nature of things, never be made Into good roads. As an Instance of this It may be men Hoped that many of the common roads have no natural drainage. We are told that the most of them are lit a poor condition for n part of the year, and some of them for Ihe whole twelve months. As the result of a careful estimate made by Hie survey. It is shown thnt the farmers of the State of Maryland expend ..",,CHH),ihmi more on their haul ing over the present poorly built high ways than would be necessary If tliu hauling were done on tirst-clnss roads. These ligures are to be compared with the intormntlou collected by Hie De partment of Agriculture in lsic, when, as the result of data received from over twelve hundred counties In vari ous parts or the I'liited Stale. It was ascertained that the average cost of hauling one ton for one mile over country roads was twenty-live cents; which was Just three times as much as the average cost of hauling over the Improved macadam roads of six European countries. If this large sum ot money represents the loss to the State of Maryland from poor roads, It Is easy to say that the total loss throughout the United States repre sents a llgure so great that It must have nil Important beating upon t lie prosperity of the country at large, and particularly upon the farming In terests as such. At lirst sight It seems Incredible that In a country so progressive as ours the condition of the common roads should be over half a century behind that of the old world. It Is true that the vast extent of the T'nlted Stales, and the great mileage of our roads in some States relative to the density ot the population, may be offered as an excuse for backwardness; but while this plea may hold good ns regards the thinly populated Western nud Southern States, It cannot be applied to the older, more populous nud wealthy sections of the country Scl tlitillc American. Tlte DtMiinnit I (ipiieriil, Martin Dodge, director or the Office of lload Inquiry, Department or Agri culture, stated to the Industrial Com mission that road building has become a matter of great public Interest, and there was a great demand for good roads. Ills suggestion was that good roads should be built ami the expense divided equally between the (iovern nicnl, the State and Ihe towns bene lltcd by such Improvement. Mr. Dodge gave Ihe results of experiments which were Hied In Maryland, estimating Ihu cost of hauling loads in short hauls by animal power at twenty-six cents cr ton per mile. He claimed that a system of good roads in the country would do away with many of Ihe In equalities miller which farmers now labor, lie learned by Investigation that where governments had a large num ber of men to take care of. whether convicts or standing armies, their services had been utilized for the con struction of good roads. Ho Instanced the roads of Home, which were built by slaves, and the Siberian roads, which had been constructed by Rus sian soldiers. Mr. Dodge gave It as his opinion that there are two meas ures which would assist lo bring about Improvements In good roads to an ex lent where the public Is sutlliiently benelited the reduction of the cost of material nml the utilization of la bor that could not be otherwise employed. Tim Money Nrttoin. Keiorence has been iiiade hitherto lo the sentiment In Oneida County, New York, In favor of Improved high ways and Ihe good work accomplished there. It Is eucouraglng to workers along this line that the Oneida sen timent Is growing, and that It Is ex lending to neighboring counties. Of Ihe L'iMMl miles of highways in Oneida County, loll miles are now cared for under what Is known as "the money" system, lo distinguish It from Ihe old plan of requiring a certain number of days' labor yearly from Ihe citi zens on the highways. It was grudg ingly given labor at the best, nud naturally not etliclcnt. The expendi ture of taxes under Intelligent diree Hon gives much belter results, and It Is expected that many additional towns in the county will adopt the money system next fall. Another for ward step contemplated Is the appoint ment of au engineer to have supervis ion of all the highways in Ihe county, l-'or the advanced posh Ion of Onehhi County lu this particular much credit Is due the County League for good roads. A similar league was orga nized recently in Herkimer, ami at the lirst meeting some L'.'iO .Mohawk Val ley farmers were present.

Ihe Chinese Minister al Washington, against ex tending the provisions of the Chinese exclusion laws of the I'niled StaV to the Philippine Islands are Interest lug when considered in connection with the current situation lu China nnd the history of the Chinese inva sloli of the ntchlpchigo. Soon after the discovery of the Islands the Chi liese followed the Spanish Into the Philippines lu great numbers and be fran tii crowd Ihe other settlers out of business. After struggling iinsucci ss fully against Industrial destruction the Spanish colonists obtained a royal decree banishing the Chinese. The Chinese resisted lis enforcement, and In bin:: about .'.ihni of them were si i in. t'mlatinted by the slaughter, the places of the dead were practically filled In two years by newcomers, and lu biOo Ihe Spanish (iovernmelit (b cried that Chinese to the number of 111 K hi might reside In the Philippines. that each resident should pay a special tux of H n year, and that none should be allowed to follow any occupation save that of tilling the soil. To these conditions Hie Chinese assent, -d with out demur. They went forward in their operations, however, precisely as If no conditions had been made. In tweniy-tive years Itli.tHHl new lnitnl grants had appeared In the most fn voted spots in the Islands, and in l'!:! they were again ordered to leave or sutler death. About Tumi of them obeyed the dc( rce. but ,i.!,(KKi defied It and were slaughtered. Instead of cheeking Immigration till massacre s ncd to augment the Im migration nud In twenty years lue Chi nese had become so strong that thev threatened to wipe out Ihe Spanish in solar ( hivcrniiK ul and establish on-1 of their owu in Its stead. Again they were ordered to have ihe Isl.mils. and again defying Ihe mandate, iiianv of them were slain. In li'To the Spanish Coverniuep.t sent a special envoy to the Philippines lo examine the Chinese problem, and Ids report Is probably as able us any thing ever published on that subject, lie declared that the Chinese were Irreclaimable and utterly refused lo assimilate with other peoples. After describing them and their methods in the Islands, he concluded: they Impoverish the count rr. gleaning everywhere nud forwarding their savings to China. They under mine nud ruin all labor because thev live on less and hence work for less than our people, and then follow their earnings to China, thus making room for still more hungry swarms, which settle among us." This report so aroused the Cavern- iiient that more energetic measures of exclusion were enforced, without much success, and In 1T( the Chinese had again become so numerous that an oilier massacre torn; place. Not In the least dismayed, they Instantly re newed Immigration from the father land, and by IT.'!) hud become uior numerous than ever. The Spanish (loveinineiit ordered them lo leave. Many thousands returned to China; of the others many were put to death. Still lids strangely persistent race began again to overrun the Islands, mul by 177." bad become so numerous that the viceroy decreed that every Chinaman found on Philippine soil on a certain day should be executed, and this decree was curried out lo the let ter, lu IMP, having again become in tolerable by their numbers and meth ods, once again every Chinese Hint could be found In the Philippines was killed. Next a system' of extremely onerous and burden -tome taxes was devised and pressed upon the Chinese with relent less severity. This, however, proved to be as Ineffectual as wholesale kill ing, ami the Chinese now outnumber ing all European inhabitants more than five to one, practically control the business mul trade of the Islands. New York Sun. The Mjilery or Lord Loval. One of the remarkable disappear ances recorded lu English history was that of Lord Eovel. in the battle of Stoke, which took place 413 years ago. This famous eonllicl was the decisive one in the war of Hie roses, and Is s el lines referred to as Ihe last great battle on English soil. Six thousand men were left dead upon the field. The forces of the red rose party were victo rious, and I heir victory established (lie house of Tudor upon the throne of England. After the battle all or Ihe leaders of the white rose forces were found dead upon the Held excepting Lord I.ovel, who was never seen again. Many were the reasons given for the disappearance 'of this leader In the Yorkist parly, some asserting that he was drowned while trying to escape across the ltlver Trent, the weight of his armor keeping his body I'roin rising to the surface. Another report hail ir that he tied to I'le north, there living a peasant's life to the cud of his days. In 17IIH, however, an underground room was discovered under the manor house of the I.ovel estate. In this se cret chamber was found the skeleton of a man seated at a table on which were books, paper, pens and so forth. In another part of the room was a cap, liioldered and decayed, of ancient pat tern. Tills and other relics led the de scendants of Lord I.ovel lo leiieve that they liad al lust solved the mystery of his disappearance. FIkIiIIiik SkiiU Willi Dynamite The seals and sea lions which Infest the mouth of the Columbia Illver have created such havoc among the snluiou llsheries Hint a crusade with dynamite is soon lo be begun against them. The animals are both shrewd and bold, ami It is said that a seal will police a set net with great regularity and lake a bile out of the throat of every salmon it contains. Frequently when a fisherman Is faking his net luto a boat ami Is about to gaff a fisli which is entangled in the meshes, a seal will rise and bile lis throat. The seal herd congregate on a certain sandsplt in the iiiomh of the river and 't is proposed that dynamite mines be sunk in the sand and connected wllh thu mainland by wires. When the animals nre ashore the mines will be exploded. Similar plans are laid for the destruc tion of the sea lions, which do not gather with the seals. tSau Erauelsco Chronicle.
