the Kingdom of Trinidad, which was erooted by

... . years ago. Ills ancestors came originally from
$ ' j Ireland. The King of Tilnldad ws educated In
' the Jesuit College at Nnmur. Hoalso studied at
i ' t ' Lelpslc, whero he gained tho reputation of being
' ) duelist of the first class. When he was ID
s i years old he entered the French Military Col-
Ii '. J, lege at BL Cyr, but ho gave up nil thoughts
r ' of being a soldier when his father died
' J i In 1873. Then ho began to giro atten-
j tlon to literature nnd sculpturo. Fire years
, 1 later he began to publish La TrlbouM. a satlrl-
I oal weekly started In tho Interests of the royal-
: i, ' IsU. Ills career as nn odltor wns short hut full
t ( i of excitement. During tho few months which
) La Tribovlet lasted tho Ilaron was arrested 114
' times andaho patd fines amounting to 300,000
francs, besides fighting a dozen duels. Even
; " tually inrls boenmo too hot to hold so pro-
j ' nouncedn royalist and tho Huron sought refugo

J f Is about twenty-threo miles long and threo miles
S, I wide, and from Its general appearance tho
; j Baron judged It was of volcanic origin. Up to
imj l that tlmo Trinidad had been often soen, but stl-
B' dort visited. It was covered wltb green nnd
B filled with tho song of tropical birds. The Ilaron
SHR ' waacharmed with the Island, nnd ho mado up

IK'i When the Astoria nailed away, however, tho
iM'ii Baron went with her, and for flvo years bo did
'tmff : not -visit tho Island ngnln; but he norer lost
EB-i : sight of tho Idea of becoming Its King. In 180O

Rj T'robably tho most notable real estate trnns-
Bu ', action in tho history of tbo Islands occurred
jl , yesterday, whon tho Bishop estate ranch was
H; - told at public auction to Arthur D. MvClellan

f'fB The upset price of tho property had been flxed
itstVa i nt 5150,000. McClcllnn was in a combination
,.' C of twenty-rlvemen and had bcon authorized to
f.WJi i Dld $225,000 for tho combination. When tho
i'B " prlco was bid above that McClellan bid on his
pB-i' own account.
"K J If artesian wells can be sunk nn the ranch and
m ; pood water sunnllcs secured, nearly every aero

"sT; money. Up to the present there aro no plnnta-
".'S ' tlons on Moloksl. and the belief lion prevailed

IBS I has made a lucky purchase. The name of JIolo-

May wood, which nestles cosily along tbo west
ern slope of Ha'ckensack Heights nnd Is one of
the smallest municipalities geographically In
New Jersey, Is In a convulsion over the action
of Judgo Van Vnlen of the Bergen County Court
In granting a wbolesalo liquor llcenso to Mrs.
Catharine Dolllnger. This buxom widow settled
on Peltx's addition to Maywood two years ago,
built a home, and opened a modest llttlo store.
She applied last year to the County Court for a
saloon license, which was refused bocauso tho
old-time residents of tho borough joined In n
petition Against it. Tbeso Included Clarcnco E.

from Mr, Breckonrldtro's grounds. Martin
Hcoklo built a largo hotel on tho samo road
within tbo Hackensack limits, and he, too, was
refused a llcenso nl two terms of court.
Mrs. Dolllnzcr did not follow the example of
Mr. Scoskle by proclaiming her chagrin over
defeat. Sho permitted tbo matter to rest quiet
ly for a few weokn. when sho applied to tho
court for a wholesale llcenso, and. as her oppo
nents were unaware of this, tho widow on Tues
day received tho tlrst permit ever granted to
sell whiskey, rum, nnd other beverages within
tho borough of Maywood. When It became
known along Mnynood avenuo that tho Widow
Dolllnger had thus outwitted the aristocracy of
the community, therearoso fierce denunciations
of ovorybody nnd ovory Influence known or sup
posed to have been Instrumental In establishing
a rum shop on that soil.
A wholesale llcenso permits tho holdor to sell
In quantities of from one quart to flvo gallons.
Mrs. Bollinger's customers will corns lnrgely

seech of Bllhu Root to tbo Vnlen tagne.
The first regular monthly meeting following
the annual election of offloers for the ensuing
year of tbo Union League Clnb, held 1n January
last, was beld last evening. The new Presi
dent, Ellhu Root, presided, and as he took the
chair mado an address which was applauded
by the club and ordored printed. These aro
some of the things Mr. Root said:
"The enormous and continued growth of the
pension rolls a third of a century after tho closo
of tho civil war has been accompanied by wide
spread nnd repeated charges of wholesalo
fraud, until tho roll, that should bo nil honor,
is covcrod with suspicion, and the annual pay
ments, which should bo made frcoly nnd grate
fully, aro mado grudgingly and angrily on tho
part of many honest and genuine Americans.
Tho honor of tho army and navy of tho civil
war demands that tho cloud be cleared away;
that If the disgraceful Imputation bo not true,
It should be refuted and sot at rest forever, and
If It bo truo, that the wrong sboula bo re
dressed; that the rolls should be purged and
tho lists of honor be freed from tho companion
ship of fraud. Until this Is dono the very pur
pose and original mission of this club romalns
unfulflllod.
"The same obstaclos to the free and effcctlvo
expression of tho popular will which tho club
found tnlrty years ngo at tho polos and attacked
with triumphant forco still oxlst to-day at tho
primaries. Our present method of securing
fair elections requires tbat tho citizen who
really has opportunity to express his will should
havo a volco tn determining what names should
bo printed on tho ballots. Tbo oxcrclso of this
lignt of nomination has now no adequate pro
tection against fraud and corruption.
"Fraud and corruption hnve In fact deprived
tho peoplo of their voice In tho selection of can
didates in so ninny instances tbnt thero Is a
widespread public demand for the samo kind of
reform in tho law regarding nominations that
wo commenced thirty years ngo regarding elec
tions. Tho problem Is tho samo; tho methods to
bo pursued aro In general tho samo; tbo neces
sity Is equally vital and Imperative It is of
thu hlghost conscqucnco that tho legislative
roomdy bo swift. Just, practicable and oflectlvo
to really sccuro a full.frco opportunity for every
citizen. In his own pnrty. to hae his volco In
the nomination of candidates whoso names shall
bo placed upon tho official ballot. No Govern
ment founded upon popular will can possibly
llvu whllo tho people are denied tho opportunity
to express that will. ,.
"Anothor duty rests upon u?. Tho assault
upon our national honor nnd credit, which was
repelled by tho olectlon of 18110. has been re
new od. Too President of tho United ritntcs, by
nature prudent and tagaclous. In method care
ful and considerate, seeking always the courso
of peaceful administration, but nt heart always
foarlcss, who novcr tpcaks too soon, but Is al
ways ready when the occasion comes, has
sounded tho clear nolo of national honor and
fnltb. Tho House of Itopicscntntlvcs, the Poo
plo's House,' has responded to his call, but tho
Scnnto of tbo United States has answered by a
sullen doclnratlon of ndherenco to tho policy of
repudiation und dishonor. This very year tbo
Jcoplo of tho United States aro lo declnro their
udgment upon tho Issues, and, by tho election
of a now Congress and of many Senators, to Bay
whether thoy stand with McKtnlcy nnd tho
Houbc or with Tollorand Murphy In tho Sen
ate. Surelv upon this Issue the duty of this club
Is clear and Imperative. Tho tlmo for tho per
formance of that duty, here und ovory where, by
us ana by those who think with us, is now. Im
mediately; not n week, not a dny, should bo lost
In commencing tho BtKcrasIvo steps nccersory
to mnrsbul tho forces at the polls In Novombor.
"In practical performance thetwo duties which
I hnvo last described coincide. If tho country
speaks at tho next election for McKInley nnd
tho House, It must bo by tho election ot tho can
didates nominated bv the licpubllcnn party.
The prepondcrnnt forcos cf Brynnlsni are
surely forming tho lines of Dcmocrotic organi
zation upon tho opposing side. Outsldo of
thesu two organizations thero Is no possibility o1
effective action. The Itopiibllcnn party In this
Stato le dhldcd. It is divided by local ques
tions, by personal questions, by organizations
for tbo redress of evils ncrmlttcd by our lax and
inefficient primary laws. The divisions aro
upon lines of principle, which will not be sur
rendered, which, as 1 think, ought not to be sur
rendered, and which, speaking for myself, 1
shall not surrender under any circumstances I
can roncelvo.
"But tho division Is not upon tho groat and
overwhelming issuo formed between the na
tional parties. It is not upon any great Issue of
Republican Inltb. Upon every question to be
decided at the next election thcro Is a common
principle, n common sympathy, and a common
purpose. It needs tut the working out ot a fair
and pra:tlcal opportunity tor common action
upon that Held, Irrespective of all other fields,
to produce tbnt union of effort which will In
spire confidence, add strength to courage, sub
stitute hope for despondency, nnd result In vic
tory. A primary law enacted by tho present
Legislature. If It be really Just, really practi
cal, and really effective, will atloid that oppor
tunity, for upon Its just basis every citizen of
tho Stato who stands by McKInley and tbo
House, for national honor and fulth. for Indi
vidual frecdum nnd personal rights, for tho prin
ciples of tho American Revolution against the
Easslonsof the French Revolution, may havo
Is equal volco in sclecMng the cnndldatos for

In tho framing of bucIi a law, to insist that Its
provisions shall bo suitable, adequato, and ef
fective, und to urge tho Lcglslntuto to Its en
actment U tho Immediate and pressing duty of
tho hour."
This resolution was adopted:
"That the Commlttco on Political Reform bo
requested to inqutro into and report to this club
upon tho nnturo of the charges of fraud In tho
ponslou rolls of tho United States, thn means
which may bo practlcablo to ascertain tho truth
or falsity of tho charges, tho methods available
for remedying tho ovll. If It exists, and whether,
nnd in what way, this club may contribute

The eighth Scldl subscription concert, which

nAVAffA. Fb. o; via Key West, Feb. 10.
Yesterday mqrilntf Gen. Pando arrived hero
very unexpectedly, for It was reported tho day
before at tho polnco that he bad left Glbara for
ManzAtilllo. Tbo object of his sudden appear
anco was to warn tho press against saying
anything concerning tho failure ot Blanco's ex
cursion to tbo cast. Pando had no sooner ar
rived than ho summoned to the palaco the edi
tors of all the Havana papers and said to them:
"If directly or Indirectly or by words of dou
ble meaning or Ironical phrases you refor to tho
failure of tho trip of Blanco, tho failure ot au
tonomy, the failure of the prospects of future
peace, or mention In any way our strained rela
tions with tho United States, I shall havo tho
paper immediately suppressed and its editor
sent to Spain."
It is needless to say that editorials aro being
prepared on tbo success of Blanoo's trip, on tho
great advantages already gained by autonomy,
the euro prospects of coming peace, and tho
friendly relations existing betrreen Spain
and the United States. The muzzling of the
press Is to-day worse than In the palmy days of
Weyler, and It Is very difficult to get any news
through tho military censors If tho despatches
are not oxactly in accord with tho official re
ports. Blanco has had the mlsfortuno to havo n few
dlsogreoablo things colncldo with his trip to tho
oast. Tho first was that whon ho arrived nt
Manzsnlllo, cherishing tho hopo of embracing
Rnbl nnd RIos, ho loomed that they wcro hav
ing a terrillo fight with tho combined columns
of Linares and Luauc, In which fight tho son of
his great friend Gen. Luquo was mortally
wounded. On arriving nt Snntlago do Cuba
fprty young" men of tho best-known families. In
stead of waiting to receive htm, left tho city on
the quiet, tbo same day, to join tho Insurgent
forces; nnd nt tho other places he visited he had
a very cold reception, only the few ofllco seekers
npw calling themselves Autonomists going to
wrlcomo him. Tho Spanish Conservatives as
Well as tho Cuban olemont abstained from any
demonstration.
Tbo olllccrs ot tho Mnlno on their arrival did
not go to pay tbolr respects to each of tho Au
tonomist Ministers, who consider themselves
at tho hood of the Government, and this has
wounded tho susceptlblo feelings of those
worthy gentlemen, who, wishing to show tho
Americans how deeply thoy ha o felt the slight,
asked Dupuy do Lomo to prevail on the French
Iegnilon at Washington to order tho officers of
tbo Dubourdlen to call on them on their arrival,
as thoy did.
Thoy felt much elated over this, and the pa
pers yesterday published long articles on tho
friendliness or the French for tho Spanish na
tion and on French politeness and diplomacy,
Tho visit was returned with great pomp by
tho Ministers, who will gtvo a banquet to tho
French officers as a proof cif their gratltudo.
American politeness and diplomacy are quoted
at present very low In tho r-panlsh market, but
strange to say, tho Germans whllo here did tho
Bntuo as tho Americans, Ignoilng the auBcep
tlblo Autonomists. Yet no mention is mado of
their Bin of omission.
Miss Clara Barton, nccompanlcd by Mr. El
wcll, nrrlvcd this morning. No members of tso
Spanish Red Cross Snulety went to meet her.
She drovo to tho Hotel Ingluterra, where sho
has secured rooms. Tho Spanish Red Cross
Socloty published on last Sunday an nrtlclo In
tbo Onion. Cunstducioncil. saying that they
could not contlnuo their work, as thoy hnd no
more money, which they aver wai spontln
sending back to Spain -10,000 sick soldiers. The
nrtlclo is designed merely as an excuss for not
joining Miss Barton in the work which sho In
tends to undcrtako In nursing and aiding
needy Cubans, something tbo Spanish Red
Cross Society has novcr dono.
Tbo giving of food and other supplles'to the
starring Cubans as n gift from the Amcrlain
people Is creating amour the poor and needy
classes a deep sentiment of lovo and gratltudo.
On last Sunday, whllo I was at Marlanao wit
nessing tho distribution of relief to several hun
dred half-starved women and children, I saw
this fact demonstrated. An old woman, a
Canary Islander, w as very profueo In her thanks
to tho ladles who had just given to her her
share of eatulilcs. Ono of tbe ladles remarked
tbat It was not they whom she should thank,
but tho American Government and people. She
nnswered: "May God bless them and their
King."
A young Cuban girl quite Indignantly said to
tho old womun: "Not the King. He wanted
to Btnrvo us. Mny God bless the Presldont."
Judging from tills, tho young King Is not at
all liked, while President McKInley Is be
coming, very popular among tho reconcentrados.
Spain Is resorting to all sorts of ways to In
fluence tho Cubans to lay down their arms and
accept what they call autonomy. 8everal la
dles, wives ot promlnont Spaniards of the city,
have prepared a petition, which they are carrying
from house to bouse, bogglnir ttic most promlnont
Cuban young girls to sign it, and especially
thoso wlin have relatives in tho field. Tho peti
tion read:
"We, tho undersigned, in the nnmo of God
and of humanity, beg tho Cubans tn lay down
their arms and stop this devastating war and
bloodsbed, accenting the generous and liberal
concessions of Spain."
It Is nsedlcss to say that tho request for signa
tures has been flatly refused In many houses.
Since tho death of Arnnguren a great many
young men have gone to tho flold. and his grave
has boon constantly kept covered with fresh
flowers. No ono knows who brings them.

Havana, Fob. 10. Tho yacht Buchaneer,
owned by tbo editor of tho Now York Journal,
was fined by tho Custom House authorities In
Havana $500 for coming to this port without
clearanco papors. Consul-General Leo protested
against tho flno on the ground tbat a yacht
should enjoy lliosnme privileges as a warship,
and is thoref ore f roo from the restrictions placed
unon a merchant vessel.
Tho Spanish authorities thon notified Mr. Leo
tbat tho lino would bo withdrawn with tbe un
derstanding that tho yacht should not visit Cuba

Instructed to Wnlcb far Filibusters.
Washington, Fob. 10. Tho Treasury Depart

of Customs nt Jacksonville, Tampa, and Key
West to look out for a filibuster expedition
which has been reportod as about to loavo the
southern roast of Florida, The Instructions
were based on a report received from Tampa.
It Is thought that the recont movements of the
filibuster tug Dauntless may be connected with
tbe projected expedition. The Dauntless
steamed Into the harbor of Savannah this morn
ing, returning from her work of towing vessels
over the bar. fjhe was searched at horn hart
by sailors from tbo revenue cutter Boutwell,
stationed at Savannah, but nothing of n sus
picious nature wns found. The Fodcral olllccrs
are keeping a close Watch on the tug to prevent
her from conncctlngAvlth tho rumored expedi
tion from the Florida roast.
Believing tbe Starving Cubans,
In a letter dated Fpb, 4, from Conaul-General
Lee to tbe Contral Cuban Relief Committee, the
Consul-General says tbnt tho suppllos received
have thus fr been distributed In Havana and
outlying towns, over 7,000 of the destitute peo
ple being dally fed. Thoro are nearly 30,000 of
them In tbo city of Havana alone. As soon as
ample provisions arrive, it Is Gen, Leo's purpose
to send them by wator to Matanzas, Srgua, and
other distant points on tho Island that cannot
be reached by the railroads. The steamship
companies, agree to transport the articles ut
half price.'
The committee will send a large load of sup

aches or backaches, you don't feel quite
up to the mark. Pretty soon you begin
to lose flesh, your appetite gives out.
Then before you know it, your lungs aro
aliected.
Don't wait for that. As soon as you
feel that you are not quite up to the
"correct pitch" put yourself into con
dition again with Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. There is nothing
like it to build up the constitution and
quickly restore energy and good, hard,
healthy flesh. It makes new blood
rapidly. It clears the unhealthy blood
out of the circulation. It makes fresh
tissue. There's no blood disease it won't
help. Taken in time it even cures con
sumption.

I was at Flat IJck, Ky I was UfanNrltVsSrVrs

blood and was also troubled with nlght-sweati.
I was so short winded that I could hardly walk
half a mile at once, and Ir I got the least bu
wearied I would have an attack of phthisic (as

V. Pierce, and I related my case to him. lis
wrote roe that I should take his ' Golden Medical
Discovery.' I did so and X have improved both
in strength and in weight. I have not bad ton
phthisic, nor spit any blood since last spring. ",
'-tveFOR CONSTIPATION,
no remedy In the world is equal to Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which act nat
urally and mildly, but never fail to effect
a complete and permanent cure. There
is no substitute for these "Pellets," no
matter what any druggist may say. They
regulate and invigorate the Stomach.
