port From Colorado Springs.
P. J. Cunningham, president of the Cun

tn doubt as to whether his son, William L,
was married to Mrs. Penelope Pcneaux
Dodd at Colorado Springs, Colo., news' of
which event was telegraphed to this city.
Upon being shown the telegram from Col
orado Springs containing an account of
his son's marriage, Mr. Cunningham read
it over and laughed heartily.
"Why, my son Is only 18 years old and not
thinking of such a thing as marriage." de
clared Mr. Cunningham. "I never heard of
Mrs. Penelope What's-Her-Name. and I
wouldn't know the lady if I should meet
her on the street. My boy's in Colorado
on business and if he -was married I would
have heard about it long before the news-
Sapers old. lou may just state tliat WII
am's father discredits the report about the
marriage."
The dispatch from Colorado states that
Mrs. Dodd was a wealthy widow residing
in New York and that her uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrs. William Kenned-, strenuous
ly objected to her receiving attentions from
Mr. Cunningham.

WAR DRUMS BEAT IN
HAW'S CAPITAL.
Army of Xorth Approaches and
Armed Resistance Is Likely
2vo Warship There.
Port-au-Prince, Haytl, May 21. Tho Army
of the North, numbering about 4.000 men.
commanded by General Firmln, the most
powerful candidate for the presidency of
Hayti, arrived to-day at Arcahale, two
days' march from here. The Provisional
Government has summoned all citizens to
defend the capital nnd as a result tho entire
population of Port au Prince Is now under
arms.
The people are vers- excited and seem de
termined to make a vigorous resistance to
the entrance of the Army of the North into
this city. The general belief is that If Fir
mln persists in his intention to attempt to
force an entry into Port au Prince, a se
vere engagement will follow.
As this dispatch Is sent the beating of
drums can be heard on all sides and armed
men are gathering for the battle.
The members of the diplomatic corps as
sembled here this morning and decided to
protest against the entrance of the north
ern army Into the capital.
Unfortunately this protest Is not likely to
have much effect, a there Is no foreign
man-of-war in the harbor. Regret is espe
cially expressed at the absence of a United
States warship from Port au Prince.
The United States cruiser Topcka sailed
from Port Royal. S. C. for Port-au-Prineo
May 16 to protect American interests. She
is due to arrive at her destination to-day.

RED-LETTER DAY FOR
CUBA AND AMERICA
Representative David A. De Ar-
mond's Reflections on Birth of
tho Cuban Republic.
Rcrunuc special
New Tori:. May 21. Representative David
A. De Armond of Missouri, who is in
Havana, having gone to Cuba to be present
at the birth of the new Republic, expresses
his sentirrents on the emancipation of Cuba
from the tyranny of Sp-iin In the following
cablegram, published to-day:
"Havana, May UK. Many year of tyran
ny, outrare. protest insurrection, warfare,
suffering and erdurancc have left their im
press upon Cul-un institutions, and the
character of the Cuban peoplo. At length,
after long years of waiting and hoping, the
day of Cuban independence has come.
"The Iju:- nlcht has emld and the day
so long hoped Tor has arrived. The Bepublic
of Cuba has been formally introduced into
tile family of nations.
"May rc will be the red-letter day in the
Cuban calendar, and why should It not
be? The birth of a nation surely is an his
toric event of transcendent Importance, nnd
as the new nation begins as an exponent of
the inalienable right of man to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, every well
wisher of human kind must rejoice in its
being, and pray fenently for its continued
oxlitence.
When it happens also, as In the case of
kCuba. that the new reign of liberty .suc
ceeds an ancient reign of tyranny, the tran
sition from darkness t,o light, from wrong
to rhjht. lends pathetic interest to the
event.
"Tho United States goes Into history as
the one nation in the annals of time which
fought solely to liberate a suffering people,
hating no grievance against their oppres
sor except In the fact of the oppreu-lon
and, having broken the chains and liberated
tho helpless victims, with undoubted power
to retain the rich prize of war, gloriouslv
gavo it to the weak people to whom of
right, but not of might, it belonged.
"So the Twentieth day of May must
henceforth, so long as men shall loe liber
ty and revere its champions, be in our an
nals also a red letter day.
"As the years and the ages go by. only
here and there, arising out of the 'great
plain of human selfishness, avarlciousness
and meanness, will stand till eternity a few
towering peaks of national generoflty and
nobility. In freeing Cuba, first from the
Spaniard and next from our own grasp, the
people of the United States of America
have pierced the upper air of imperishable
glory with one of these peaks
"To-day It seems not leys blessed In us to
give than in the Cubans to receive the
priceless boon of national freedom. As the
gift of liberty is twice blessed, to the giver
and to them that receive it, so is the assas
sination of the liberty of a people -who rule
themselves after their own models and ac
cording to their own predilections twice
accursed. "DAVID A. DE ARMOND."

Hardly blame you for feeling as you do
that winter suit that you'vo boon woarinff
Is surely enough during this period of hot
weather to mako the most agreeable man
on earth disafrreeable. hy don't, you uso
a little common sar.be and a srr allor amount
of money? And through the plan of The)
Ideyer Etoro retailing you can really ba
more comfortable and mora agreeable, too,
than you've boon for many a ions day.
Come right down to it, it's truly wonderful
what a succossful clothing store this is
tnd it's getting bigger and better every
day We're making Mends and we're Beli
lng the clothing simply because The Meyer
Store's clothing IS good clothing with
style, with the grace that accompanies
tailor-made suits at exactly one-third of?
what the tallorj charge ycu. It's purely a
case where Tho Meyer Store policy bene
fits you men. You'll find the identical qual
ities that The Meyer Store offers In Men's
Clothing all over St Louis marked with a
surplus profit which is ridiculous. If we
could only get you to study the Blruation
to observe the manner in which this syndi
cate buytng helps you-to have you see
what our offers constitute then we'd be
satisfied, for this Clothing Store is cer.
tainly growing anyway, and there's cer
tainly a reason lor The Meyer Store Cloth
ing popularity. We've something up our
sleeves, men to-morrow's P-D. readers
will learn what it is. Helpful, tho". Wont

Revolution Presented by Doctor Mlo

bl Report on Foreign Minsluns.
New York. May 2L The General Assem
bly of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States gae up the early part of to-day's
session to the consideration of foreign mis
sions. The Beverend Howard Duffield of
the Old First Presbyterian Church of this
city, made an address In which h pleaded
the caure of "the old-fashioned gospel," as
against w hat he called the rationalistic ten
dencies of the age.
The Beverend Doctor Donald C. MacLeod
of Washington, D. C, offered a resolution
deploring the spread of Mormonism.
The Beverend Doctor Courtenay II. Fenn
of the presbytery of Pekln, as chairman of
the standing Committee on Foreign Mis
sions, presented the report of that commit
tee, which was a review of the annual re
port of the Board of Foreign Missions.
The report declared that last year was
the best one in the history of Presbyterian
foreign missions. The board had been able
to get through the year wlthcut debt, ana
a number of persons in heathen lands had
become members of the church. The total
receipts for the year were Jl.l2S.ui,, against
JWS.32S for the year before, mainly due to
large sums received as legacies.
Resolutions were brought in by the com
mittee calling upon the General Assembly
to give SUT'i.ono to the work of the Board
cf Foreign Missions during the coming
year. Tne Beverend Doctor Arthur X. 1.
Brown, one of the secretaries of the Board
of Foreign Missions, said heathenism, was
marshalling its forces against Christianity.
From what he had seen during his recent
tour in Asia he said, he felt that some
heathenism would die hard.
At the afternoon session the Judicial
Committee reported its decisions in several
appeals by ministers to the General As
sembly from decisions of synods or presby
teries. Uie assembly In each case approving
the finding of the Judicial Committee.
The complaint of J. M. Ross and others
ngainst the Synod of Missouri, in taking
exceptions to the minutes of the Kansas
Cttv Presbytery, was decided by recom
mending that the complaint referred to the
Assembly Committee on Minutes of ths
Missouri Synod.
The assembly adopted a resolution
brought in bv the Reverend Doctor Mlnton.
on behalf of the Committee on Bills and
Overtures, disapproving of Sunday opening
at the Louisiana Purchase Fxposition.
Adjournment was taken until to-morrow
