"IAX MACLARES" COMING.

The DistlitßulNhed Writer Will BeHere This Month.

"Lan Maclaren," whose arrival In thiscountry has set everybody to talkingagain about the author of "Besidethe Bonny Brier Bush," is the latest ofthe galaxy of Scotch writers that be-gan with Stevenson. Mr. Watson (lanMaclaren) though the latest in thefield, Is not the youngest In point ofyears of the Scottish writers. He isolder than either Barrle or Crockett;he was born, in fact, In the same yearwith Stevenson and they were in theuniversity together. Up to 1893 he hadmade no literary reputation though hewas a strong man in the and

Ithen It was almost by accident that hebecame the most widelyread author ofhis day. Dr. Robertson Nicholl, whoknew his powers as a raconteur, in-duced him to send a sketch to theBritish Weekly and that was the startof his writing for publication.

It was at first though that Barrie,whose fame was already established,was writingin a new vein, but it soontranspired that the author of the storieswas the grave and reverend pastor ofthe Sefton Park Presbyterian churchof Liverpool. Within a few months thepreacher found himself the most cele-brated delineator of Scottish life andoverwhelmed with requests to writemore.

Dr. Watson came" to this country firstfor the purpose of lecturing in the Ly-man Beecher bible course at Yale col-lege. His wife came with him and to-gether they mean to see a good deal ofAmerica.

His first reading will be given inCarnegie hall next Tuesday, Oct. 13.From there Dr. Watson will start onhis tour of the West, speaking in about

Itwenty cities.Dr. Watson will read in SL Paul Oct.

27, and on the following evening inMinneapolis. The Scottish societies ofthe two cities willentertain him as faras his limited time will permit and theelite of both cities will undoubtedlywelcome hm.

The Armenian meeting has been heldand some money raided for i-elief, butnot at all adequate 1;to the great needsor consistent foij sUth a city as tit.Paul. Many detained/by other engage-ments might be glad 'to add their con-tribution to the fund; before it is for-warded. Surely bucli people would notwish to have those who did attendbear all the burden. Itis fair to saythat they gave liberally, consideringtheir means, and some evidently withpersonal sacrifice. . ,,No language candescribe the awful.outrages and cruel-ties of which the Armenians have beenthe victims. Thousands of them arelivingin a climate as severe as ours,with winter coming on, with scarcelyany shelter or clothing, and no food tokeep them from starving. This is anappeal to our common humanity, butwith the added force of our specialobligations as Americans, and theshameful neglect of the "Christiannations."

We urge many who have not con-tributed to send an offering to thetreasurer of the fund, Mr. A. H. Lin-deke, of Lindeke, Warner & Schur-meier.

These gifts are administered withthe greatest wisdom and economy, un-der the direction of the Red Cross so-ciety.

To the Editor of the CHobe.In1861 Iwas on a risit to Cuba, and while

there learned much "abOtlt the government ofthat island. In almost eVery square in Ha-vana Spanish troops were stationed to keepthe natives In subjection. They were notallowed to assemble Jn ;tany great numbersfor fear they might T>Wt insurrection andrebellion against the" re'.gnlng authorities.They were denied '%very civil or militaryright, except the rilpht to be taxed for thepurpose o-f maintaining foreigners gent

to lord it over them.- Tijey were not allowedto hold any civil office nor to serve in thearmy. The very cause of our Revolutionarywar, "taxation without representation," iswhat the native Cubans axe fighting for to-day. Itis only ninety miles from Key Westto Havana, so almost within our hearing thebrutal Spaniards are treating their prisonersin the most cruel manner. "Every nightsome of them are taken out into the har-bor, drowned and their bodies given to th»sharks, while others are fed on dry codfishand denied drinking water." Such brutaltreatment of the prisoners should be stoppedand the Spanish government made to under-stand that the war must be conducted asbecometh a civilized nation. As a people weare deeply Interested in Turkish persecu-tion of the Armenians, although oceans rollbetween us. while here within a few hours'sail of our own shore, a people struggling tofree themselves from the rule of a foreignpower are made the victims of the mostcruel and savage warfare that has ever dis-graced the annals of war. even among sav-ages. When Iread of the Bpanish atroci-ties, and remember that Spain recognizedthe Southern Confederacy six weeks afterthe bombardment of Fort Sumter, Ifeel thatour government should extend these samerights to the Cubans who have carried on asuccessful war for so long a time. Thatthey will ultimately achieve their Independ-ence there can be no reasonable doubt, andthat unnecessary logs o£ life should be pre-vented, if the Unite^ States can do it, seemsto be our plain duty* My sympathy alwaysgoes out to a people battling for liberty,and hence Iam on* tbe>< side of the nativeCubans, and hope ttet tfeey may soon throwoff the yoke of bondage as did our brave,patriotic slrea in lTJfc.

The witnesses examined before thegrand jury were Alice Hull, Dr. Roth-rock, Blanche Hull, Richard M. Avl-son, Carl Anderson, Emma Quayle andDr. V. J. Hawkins.

Hull has been confined in the countyjail since his arrest on the eveningof Aug. 5. When informed of his in-dictment, Hull stated that he had fullyexpected a formal charge at the handsof the grand jury,but that he as fullyexpected to be acquitted when hie casecame to trial. He was anxious that hebe accorded a trial as soon as possibleand declares that, so far as Ms side ofthe case is concerned, he is ready togo into court at once.

In five cases the grand jury failedto return indictments. They were thoseof William O'Neill. Richard StantonJohtn Strouse, Adolph Nobotne andPeter J. G. D'Albanl.

Albert Chase, twenty-eight years old,who claims to hail from Rochester,Minn., occupies: a cot at the city hos-pital with a bullet wound in his leftleg near the knee. Chase arrived in thecity yesterday, and about 5 o'clock yes-terday afternoon engaged passage inF. Barbeau's hack to make the roundsof the city and see a part of the sights.Chase toqk out one of a brace of re-volvers which he carried, and com-menced to examine the mechanism ofthe weapon. Whether it was the jolt-ing of the carriage or the unsteadynerve of the fellow who was handlingthe gun matters but little. The re-volver was discharged, and the bulletploughed into the fleshy part ofChase's knee. The hack driver, fear-ful that the fellow had committed sui-cide, lashed his team into a run anddashing up to the door of the centralpolice station called for help. Chasewas taken out of the hack and man-aged to tell the officers that it was allan accident and that he had no inten-tion of doing anything in the suicideline. A superficial examination of thewound showed that it was not serious,but Chase's trip to view the elephantwas postponed, and he was taken tothe city hospital for treatment. Thedoctors at the hospital say the woundis not at all serious.

j pocketbook. At the Golden Rule she was in-Iterviewed by Detective Bullock, the special

detective employed at the store. From thedescription she gave, the officer at once saidhe knew who the women were, and offeredto do all in his power to assist In the recov-ery of the money and the arrest of the par-ties supposed to have taken it. It is prob-able that a warrant willbe taken out for thearrest of one of the women whom Mrs. Gund-lach noticed near her shortly before thepocketbook was missed.

Foley rushedabout for several minutes looking for a po-liceman, which official, he said, was wantedat the residence of his sister on Laiondstreet to protect her from an assault Therehappened to be no officer' In sight, so Foleyborrowed a horse and buggy and startedfor the central police station !n search ofone. The explanation he made there forwanting an officer was not sufficiently strong-enough to secure one, and he claims to havebeen grossly insulted in the bargain. The

i Rondo street station was notified of the cotn-j plaint made by Foley, and a couple of of-j fleers sent to the house, where, accordingIto Foley'* story, his sister was being threat-

ened with assault by her husband. ThaRondo street station reported afterward thatthe only trouble they could find was th*tFoley was not wanted around the place byhis brother-in-law.
