Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of General Antonio Maceo, and was cele brated among the Cubans In Santiago. memorial service was neld In the morning In the cathedral, which was crowded. Less than two years ago the same cathedral witnessed a Te Deum sung by tho same choir In celebration of Maceo s death.- Then the cathedral was draped with Spanish colors. Yes terday the entire edifice was In black, Interspersed with a few Cuban em blems. Considerable annoyance was oc casioned to the United States author ities by the fact that some "5 men. Cubans, marched the entile length of Thomas street, armed with rllles and machetes, although all Cubans are well aware that such conduct Is strictly against the regulations, armed bodies other than United States troops not being allowed. The offenders In question did not ask permission to march armed, and their Intention was not made known to the American authorities. Indeed, the cathedral had been reached by the paraders before the fact was reported to headquarters. Colonel Beacom, who Is In chief com mand here during the absence of Gen eral Wood, Immediately caUed upon the mayor regarding the affair, and was by him referred to Colonel Garcia, who sent an orderly directing the Immedi ate appearance of the offenders at headquarters. Meanwhile the armed squad had fired three volleys, many using ball cart ridges, whose bullets, striking the up per portions of the cathedral, caused the bell ringers to flee from their post. In less than a quarter of an hour an officer from the Fifth Immune regiment arrived at headquarters with a mes sage from Colonel Sergeant stating that several bullets had struck his tent at different points and asking Information as to the cause. Colonel Garcia said he was under the Impression that the men used blank cartridges and that the United States authorities had been notified of the Intention of a number to march armed In connection with the celebration. Colonel Heacom reported that he knew nothing of It, and that the Cu bans had evidently done their best to conceal their purpose. He then ordered Colonel Garcia not to allow his men to attend the evening procession armed, and said he would permit the contin uance of the morning procession only with the distinct understanding that there was to be no firing. The sole reason why the offenders were not ar rested was that they were within the cathedral limits at the time. An overllow meeting was held In the theater, with music and speeches, none antagonistic to the Americans. After ward a procession of 0,000 people pa raded through the principal streets to the house where Maceo was born, and formally nfllxed a brass tablet com- meratlve of that event. Remarkable Rescue.

Wilmington, Del., Dec. 8. The cross examination of William N. Hoggs, the efaulting teller of the First National bank of Dover, was resumed yesterday In the third day of the trial of Senator Kenney, of Delaware, on charges of conspiracy and aiding and abetting In the misapplication of the funds of the Institution. Touching upon Senator Kenney's overdrafts from the spring to fall of 1S90, the witness repeated his former testimony that the bank lost no money. Mr. Bird endeavored to have the wit ness give Senator Kenney's balance In the bank In April, 1&97, a few months after his election to the Benate. This was objected to, and the objection was sustained by Judge Bradford. The wit ness was here asked to give In detail his losses from various operations In which he used the bank's funds and lost that money. Finally Judge Urad fard Interposed nnd Indicated that the ! .... 1 11 ,.. ' Iiutiiuse ui uie iiiiu Ul cauiiiiiiuuuii wkb purpose not attacking the credibility of the wit ness. liefore this Hoggs had accounted for over $50,000 of the shortage. Ot this amount JM.000 were lost in race track operations at Gloucester and other places from 1893 until his flight: $8,000 in marginal stock operations wlthCuth- bert & Co., of Philadelphia; between $10,000 and $15,000 In poker playing; $2,- 000 in faro playing; $6,000 In building operations; $2,000 during the political campaign of 1894; $2,000 In a "bucket Bhop," with Amos Cole & Co., In which Boggs represented the company; $1, 500 In a discretionary pool In Wall street; $1,000 as "hush money" to pre vent exposure of his card playing, which was paid to L. G. Rosenthal. In none of these, the witness said, was Mr. Kenney Interested, and all the money used by Boggs belonged to the bank. Boggs repeated his statement mad in the examination in chief that Sen ator Kenney had been his counsel prior to October, 1895, when he first told him he was a defaulter, and that It was in his capacity as counsel that the wit ness called upon him. Mr. Bird then went over the details of that meeting, but did not shake the testimony of the witness. Mr. Bird then examined Boggs with the apparent purpose of scouting the witness' statement that he had no thought or hope of escaping some pun lshment by testifying. Witness said he had none, and added that he wished It was all over and he had no occasion to be put through a similar ordeal at each trial. The proceedings were almost entirely devoted to counsel Inquiring of the witness whether he had testified to cer tain things during the trial In last July. He read from a record of the proceed ings of that trial. Boggs said he had answered many of the questions, and some he said he did not remember. Those portions of the previous testi mony which were read, while In sev eral Instances not as specific as his tes timony In this trial, did not materially differ from It. Upon redirect examination Boggs said that in the spring of 1897, Just before his flight, Senator Kenney knew that Colonel Cooper was responsible with Boggs for the loss of about $25,000 of the bank's funds. He also said Senator Kenney had written him a number of letters during 1S90, Inquiring about the checks witness was withholding. To the bottom of some of these were added the words "Destroy this" or "Burn this." Witness said he did not destroy them until Just before his flight In May. 1897. The witness still maintained that Senator Kenney knew he was a default er, and that they had discussed the matter. He admitted Kenney was his counsel, but said he was compelled to go to him because of the defendant's knowledge of the true state of affairs. Referring to the loss through Colone Cooper the witness said Cooper knew that Kenney was aware of It, and that several others one of whom, Thomas S. Clark, has been convicted, also knew of It. Witness nlso said he never ex pected the disclosures to come so as to fall on Senator Kenney and the others, and had It not been for the manner In which the Farmer's National bank, through which some of the de fendant's checks came, kept its ac counts the men named would not have been suspected. Several other witnesses were exam ined In corroboration of Boggs' state ments In reference to certain checks, and when court adjourned William Anderson & Co., was testifying as to Boggs' building operation with respect to certain checks Kenney had given Boggs. Robhed tho Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : "I was iu a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in bick and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had niven me up. Fortun ately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters.' and to my great joy and surprise, tho first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.

The house yesterday parsed the antl-tlrket scalp ing bill by a vote of 119 to 101. This action Is the culmination of a ten years' struggle on the part of tho railroads to put nn end to the business of ticket scalping. The Interstate com merce commission first called attention to the subject In Its report.of 1S88, and It has been before eongr J ever since In one form or another. During the last session extensive hparlngs were given both to the representatives of the rail roads and the sralpers, and Mr. Sher man, ot New York, secured 174 pledges for the measure. It was, however, deemed Inadvisable to bring the meas ure fonvurd until the present session. The debate lasted four hours, and was spirited upon both sides. None of the amendments offered were adopted, and the bllll passed as reported by the com mittee. No business was transacted by the f.enate yesterday In open session. A few minutes after the senate convened It went Into executive session.

A New Obstacle. The old obstacles that used to prevent the marriage of loving couples are out of date. The blood and-thunder villian is a myth nowadays. The cruel father is only a tradition. Distance, absence and ship wreck in these days of cheap, safe and swift transportation do not count. The new obstacle is a common sense one. It is ill-health on one side or the other, and sometimes on both. Men nowadays hesitate to marry a wom an, no matter how beautiful, no matter how attractive, or interesting, or witty, if she is a sufferer from ill-health. All men worth having desire happy, healthy children. Any woman who will, may fit herself for the duties of wifehood and the exalted func tion of motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription banishes all hindrance in the nature of local ill-health. It gives health, power and capacity to the delicate and im portant organs concerned in wifehood and maternity. It corrects all displacements, allays inflammation, heals ulceration, stops exhausting drains and soothes pain. It ?repares for natural, healthy motherhood, t makes maternity easy and safe and al most painless. It insures a new-comer constitutionally strong and able to with stand the usual ills of babyhood. It is the greatest of nerve tonics and restoratives. Medicine dealers sell it and an honest dealer will not urge a substitute upon you. " After sufi'erina untold tortures.' writes Mrs. J.
