New York, Feb. II- Oeneral Cip
rlano Castro is still putting up *?
fight for admission to the United i
States. The authorities to. lay irave t
lis a reason for the detention of the
former dictator of Veneiuela, that
they had evidence to assure them
that Castro was coming to the Unit
ed States for the purpose of plan
ning a revolt, such was the state
ment made to htm today
It Is believed that Castro has
been promised hacking In the at
tempt to regain control of the Vene
tuelan government, and that he has
quite a following among his former
adherents. If he could get capital i
In this country he might, with the
aid of a few hundred thousand dol
lars properly placed, raise an army
sufficient to overthrow the govern
ment, especially as the proper "*e
of funds would enable him to
bribe a revolt among the officers of

THE HIGHER DUTY.
There is i higher duty than to
build almsho>i?e* (tr the poof, and
that is to save men from being de
graded to the blighting influence cA
an almshouse. Man hai a right to
something more lhan bread to keep
him from starving He has a right
to the aids and encouragements
and culture r>y w hich he may fulfill
the d'Hinv of a man, and until
society is brought to recognire and
reverence this it will continue to
groan undes its present misenes.
