The rtudesto ", all. seem to have spent the time pleasantly, and have returned with renewed vigor to resume their studies. Some of the teachers attended tbe State Teacher's Aaeoetation, held laet week at LsMing. A good time and a pro!table meeting le reported. Since our tost writing, tbe following WHY TMMMDITOR IS NOT The following was taken from the Char­ lotte Leader: The famous Hastings Division, U. R. K. of P., under command of Capt D. W. Reynolds, known as the champion of Um corps in tbe fraternity, was present and west through all their military evolutions with a precision that is truly marvelous. The company has been out of active prac­ tice for a couple of years and there were some new recruits In the ranks, but it to doubtful If an expert could have detected any mistakes upon the pari of the corps. Tbe exhibition was Indeed a rare treat. After the drill, Mr. J. M. C. Smith tntraduced Hon. Phillip T. Colgrove, Su­ preme Chancellor of the world In tbe Knights of Pythias, Mr. Colgrove enter­ tained the assemblage with a brief and elo­ quent address upon Pytblanlsm. At the conclusion of his remarks tbe smooth floor of tbe rink was quickly occupied by pretty todies In handsome costumes, making a fitting contrast to the gay uniforms of the Sir Knights, and the grand march, con­ ducted by Bedinaof tbe Lansing orchestra, and Jed by Supreme Chancellor Colgrove and Mrs. H. J. Emery, began. Seventyfive couples were ip line, lack of room com­ pelling many to forego the pleasure of participating ta the march. The pro­ gramme contained twenty-one numbers and It was three o’clock In the morning be­ fore the crowd dispersed. The special services which are being held in the Methodist church are well at­ tended and will be continued next week. A song service begins at 7:15 and all are cordially lavlted. The subject for Sunday morning's ser­ vice at tbe Presbyterian church will be “Isaah’a Vision.” For the evening service, “The Decent of Fire.’’ People who were np early enough this _ morning ooold have seen tbe editor ot ibis paper expressing bis Joyful exuberance ot spirits by stepping over three story blocks, treading on air, and Otherwise desporting himself like a boy on bto first 4th of Juiy Whlle thus engaged be was dropping little missives explaining the whereforeness of other as thieves, bto great Joy.

'•w Statistics Co«< *1 take no note of time," said Mr. Taggieton, according to the New York Hun. “I can count Q»e znontlm with perfect certainty by the call* for shoes for Davy. Ail I want to know”to the, date of the purchaae of one pair. 8a> for ilFnstmtidn, that we buy shoes on May 15; then when the , next call is made for shoes I know, without look­ ing at the date line in the paper, or at the calendar in the office, that it is the 15th of June; for Davy wears out just one pair of shoes a month. “He goes through the first soles In two weeks, and* the second Id two.weeks more. Ckcnstonally we. have bls shoes resoled twice, but not often. Usually, when we come to look them over, after the second sole has been worn through, wc find them In. that state of ciin that to commonly described in the phrase ‘beyond repair.’ “There is, however, one cheering feature of this situation, and thatis the unparalleled cheapness of shoes, which never begun to be so cheap as now. But for this auspicious fact, at the rate that Davy wears out shoes, I should have to move to some warm dime, where small boys run unshod."

One of them tells of a call he made on a man in a potato patch, says the Chicago Times-He raid. “It was in the Polish district, but, as I speak that language and nearly every other, my versatility in that line get­ ting me my position, I addressed him in Polish, asking him hiB name and oc­ cupation.

Now, if yoq think you can take this money, here’s your chance. No Harvey ever went back on his friends." Even brain muddled Mullan felt a maudlin impulse to cheer at Feeny’s enthusiastic answer. Even poor old Plummer gave a half stifled cry. Pos­ sibly he dreamed that rescue was at hand, but there waa little time for re­ joicing. Springing back whence he came, the unsden emissary was heard shouting some order to his fellows. The next instant the rifles began their crack­ ing on both sides, and the bullets, with furious spat, drove deep into the adobe or whizzed through the gunnysacks into the barley. The unseen foe was once more investing them on every side and not a shot could be wasted in re­ turn.

With rush and thunder of hoofs a band of horsemen came tearing up to the spot just as Feeny reached their leader— reached him and went down to earth, stunned, senseless from a crashing blow, even as Ned Harvey, his legs jerked from under him by the sudden clip of a rawhide lariat, was dragged at racing speed out over the plain, bumping over stick and stone, tearing through cactus, screaming with rage and pain, until finally, bartered into oblivion, the last sound that fell upon there were not more than six or eight, a tail, slender lieutenant loading them on and signaling his instructions. With carbines advanced, with eyes peering.out from under the jagged hat brims, the veteran troopers camo loping into tho light of tho flames, expectant ever)’ instant of hearing tho crack of every outlaw’s rifle or perhape tho hiss of feathered arrow of unseen foe.

Between tbe tumbledown heap of bar­ ley sacks and the crumbling wall lay some writhing objects in the sand, and his stout heart almost failed him at the moan of agony that met his ear. “Help! water! Oh, for Christ’s sake, water!" One bound carried him out of sight of his superior. The next instant dragging by the fofct a prostrate form, he emerged from the bank into the fresher air of the center of the conral. “ Off came his canteen and was held to the parched lipsof a granger in scorchad civilian dress, his beard and hair singed by the flames, his legs and arms, securely bound. "Who are you and what’s happened?. Whoae work ia this?" demanded the lieutenant, leaping from saddle to bis side. The man seemed swooning away, CHAPTER VL Harvey could not long have lain un­ conscious. No bones were broken, no severe concussion sustained in the rapid drag over the sandy surface, and the awful sense of the calamity that had befallen him and the dread and doubt as to the fate of his beloved ones seemed to rally his stunned and bewildered fac­ ulties and bring him face to face with the horror of the situation. Barely able to breathe, he found himself rudely gagged. Striving to raise his hand to tear the hateful bandage away, he found that he was pinioned by the el­ bows and bound hand and foot by the very riata probably that had dragged him thither. No doubt as to the art with which be had Do You Want Satisfaction! but the sergeant dashed water in his “Quick!—the others!—or they’ll burn to death. " “What- others? ------ Where, man?” ex­ claimed the soldiers, springing to their “Oh! somewhere in there—the far end of the corral—or Moreno’s west room," was the gasping reply. Another rush into the whirling, eddy­ ing smoke, another search along under the wall, and presently in the flickering light the reaching pair came upon a barrier of barley sacks, Imrning in places from huge flakes of fire falling from the blazing rafters of the over­ hanging shed, and behind this, senseless, suffocated, helplessly bound, two other forms. Thrusting the sacks aside, the troopers seizedSujC ' id dragged forth their hapless fello’fc^ T^atures. Jarred by sudden pressure,, ~ upright „ burning snapped. There was a crackling, crash­ ing sound and down came the rafters, sending another column of flame to light up the features of men rescued not an instant too soon from the death that awaited them. “My God!" rried Sergeant Lee,“this is old Feeny—dnd yet alive. ” Together the two raised tho senseless form, bore it out into the open space, laid it gently beside their first discovery and ran back for the next, a big, heavy, bulky shape in loose and blood­ stained garments. It took all their strength to lug it forth. Then the lieu­ tenant bent by the side of the .slowly recovering civilian. " Are there any more we can reach?" he questioned eagerly, his heart beating madly. 1 “No—too late!—others were inside when the roof fell in. More water— more water!’’ Sergeant Leo eprahg to the ollas gleaming there in the firelight and brought back u brimming dipper, hold­ ing it to the poor fellow’s parched lips until he could drink no more, then slashing away the thongs with which he was bound. “This is greaser work." he cried, “How could they have left you alive? Where are Moreno's people? Who's done this anyhow?" “ Pasqual Morales. Moreno was in it too. ’Twas the paymaster they were laying for. but they’ve killed Ned Har­ vey and got his sisters—old Harvey's children—from Tucson." "What?" cried the officer, leaping to his feet "Harvey’s daughters here? —here? Man. are you mad?" “It’s God’s truth! Oh, if I had a drop of tho whisky that’s being burned in there! I'm nigh dead." “Run to my saddlebags, Lee; fetch that flask, quick; then call in the men and send one back to hurry up the rest Where have they gone? What have they done with their captives?" “God knows!

She will bless you for it all her Hfe. There iano need of “ examinations ” and “local applications.” Sound professional advice may be obtained free of charge, by writing- to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surg­ ical Institute, of Bufialo, N. Y., whose thirty years’ occupancy of this position has made him recognized among the most eminent of living specialists in the treat­ . mentof woman’s diseases. Every case submitted to him by mail re­ ceives careful consideration. F.fficicut and inexpensive home-treatment is prescribed whereby delicate, feminine complaints may be promptly alleviated and cured. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only proprietary medicine in the world designed for this special purpose by a regular physi­ cian—an educated, experienced expert. Miss Cori L. Russel, of Lcemout, Accomac Co., Va.,iu a letter to Dr. Pierce, says: " From April, 1896. until the following October. I suffered se■werely from painful menstruation.

Tho year has been made memorable by the crushing out of Grease at the bands of Turkey, growing out of toe administration of Cretan affair* and toe traditional hatred of Christians and Mussulmans. The Greeks entered upon the war in spite of the ad­ monitions of tbe powers and unprepared to meet so formidable an adversary. The of­ ficial declaration of war was made In April, and before the end of May Greece was ut­ terly crushed. The treaty of peace was signed in December. Under Its terms Tur­ key occupies a frontier which will make an­ other invasion of Macedonia impossible and Greece has to pay Turkey an indemnity of about 00.000,000.

JANUARY 13. 1898. ‘1 REPLY to Mr. WALKER ' FURTHER REASONS FOP WRITING THE BANNER ARTICLE. < 4 4 Well I should not wonder if you go to Cook & Cook’s but that you would find the best tea in the city. Ten more chests of that boss 25c te^a. ft What we Said Wan not Prompted by any Personal Feeling, bat was Simply a i Just Criticism, as wo Believe. City Attorney Walker used a column or more of space In the Herald last week In reply to an article that recently appeared In the Banner. At the ontaet we want to assure Mr. Walker that we have no per­ sonal feeling of any kind whatever against him. In writing the article that we did we took the ground that Mr. Walker's Yes they are always loaded acta, as a public officer, are subject to critic­ ism, and acting upon that supposition we with purest and best. wrote an article that we believe was fully justified, and which. If we felt called upon to write again, we would not change In ft any particular. In closing his article the City Attorney ft said that he Intended to<publish a scathing Till you you can’t rest. answer, and oue full of personalities. We submit to any eandld mind that there were no personal reflections upon Mr. Walker’s character In the article that we printed, and we say to Mr. Walker that If he wants to enter the field of personality be can have It all From carpet tacks to the fin­ to himself—not that we could not find est saur kraut. anything to write about him if"'^e chose to, but we would not stultify our­ self to enter Police Gazette journalism. We believe that there are tbo.->e things io the lives of all human beings that they wish were otherwise. We believe that Mr. Walker will not claim that be is ioiuiaculate, and that there are not at least one or two things in his life that be wish­ es were otherwise, and what Is true of one is true of all. ATTORNEYS As we have said the article that we wrote was no reflection upon Mr. Walker’s char­ dward a taggert acter, unless our criticism of the present­ LOYAL E.

Mr. Walker says that from the time he phanged his polltlca he was a “marked man,” and that repeatedly the “locdl editor” attacked him. and that our friends threatened to boycott blm and drive him out or town, etc. We must candidly ad­ mit that until bis article appeared we did not know that be was “marked" by any­ body. As that portion of bls article comes towards the last it indicates the condition of bis mind. Mr. Walker had doubtless worked himself into such a frenty that he pictured himself as a martyr to hhi convictions, being pursued by ene of those demoualcal creatures which he pleases to style a “local editor.” If Mr. Walker badn’i have written bls Missouri friend that he“ had the no'mlnatluu for Prosecuting Attorney al­ most in bls grasp.” when the most prom­ inent republicans In the county knew that be hadn’t any such a thing, the article that we then wrote never would have beon published, and bls political flop never would have been referred to In that Instance. If when Mr. Walker’s conscience, and justice to himself, induced by bls inde­ pendent thinking, compelled blm to resign from the republican party, bis self respect had compelled blm to resign from the offices which that party, had given him, we never would have had occasion* to write s single thing In that Instance. These things being true, and they ere true, we leave it to candid minds, whether our critic is ms (not personal attacks) Of Mr. Walker were not doe to the position In which be placed himself, rather than any desire to All up our private graveyard by any “killing off” policy, on the part of the “local editor.” As to any threatened boycott such talk is nonsensical aud we defy Mr. Walker or anyone else to show that we ever made such a threat. What any of our friends may have done In that regard we do not know, uor do we care, any more than we care for what some of Mr. Walker’s friends may have said In regard to the Banner. We clip the following para­ graph from Mr, Walker’s reply: “Now. if this local editor bad attended the mecUugB of the council regularly (as be says he has not) he would have known that at the first meeting ol this council, when the Mayor made his nominations, that the City Attorney was called to his feet and asked. “What do you ex­ pect to do for thia 850 that is usually allo'ved as salary?” and that he replied I will do the routine work, draw Che resolutions, contracts and ordinances, and couduct the prosecutions in justice court, but If I do anything in ttw circuit or supreme court I shall exoect extra pay.” After this aUtement every alderman voted to confirm the appointment. Had he wanted to be fair and honest he would have told bls readers this and (ben allowed them to Judge whether or not the blll was just." We kindly refer Mr. Walker’s attention to the article printed elsewhere in this issue Mating that he Is mistaken, which article is signed by Mayor Waters and Aid. Bauer, Sheldon McGuire and Waddle and will gladly leave It to our readers as to who wantn to be fair and honest. One reason why we wrote our first article was beeauHe of the fact that the Mayor and several members of the Council denied that there was any understanding as to what Mr. Walker should do for hl» salary before he was confirmed. It now remains for Mr. Walker to deny the statement of these gentlemen. As to the City Attorney being compelled to conduct any case, In wtlch the city Is interested, we are told on what we believe Is good authority that such Is not the case, and that the council may employ whoever it wishes to, to ’ look after Its Interests. The Council, by resolution, hired Coigrove & Potter, and ouly as a matter of “court­ esy” to tbe office of City Attorney, on the part of Coigrove A Potter, was be allowed to sit In the case, and we still Insist that this city,ls In no condition financially to pay $15 per day for “courtesy.” In regard to Mr. Walker’s bill we srubmlt that the Connell, by resolution, hired Coigrove A Potter to conduct the City Hall case: that they did conduct the case; that the office of City Attorney being a creative one, the city had a perfect right to hire, and did hire such legal counsel as It chose to conduct this important case, and Colgrove A Putter were hired. Mayor Wat­ ers and other members of the council con­ sulted Mr. Walker and told him that Coi­ grove A « rouer Potter were uireu hired uy by iuv the uuum council &u and that they were to have charge of and oonduet tbe ea.e, Mr. Walker ewmlnj^ consented and seemed to think that It was all right Coigrove A Potter were reeognlzed as counsel in the case, and tbe Mayor and Alderman consulted them In the nil,’.

While It is not the time nor occasion to dheuas tbe bond which was accepted by tbe city for the construction of this building it is but fair to state that neither tbe names of tbe principals nor sure­ ties were inserted in the body of tbe bend and no provision was made whatever for tbe payment of the labor and materials furnished In the construction of tbe building. While tbe contract required them to empl-y as much labor as possible In the city, yet they were in no way protected by the bond or tn any other manner.

Rents there were many and many a bloody scratch and tear, but, to his in­ finite relief, no serious wound appeared. Still in deep swoon, his friend seemed to resist every effort for his restora­ tion. The dash of water in his face was answered only by a faint shiver­ ing sigh. The .thimbleful of whisky forced between his lips only gurgled down his throat, and Drummond felt no reswnsive flutter of pulse. The shock to his system must indeed have been great, for Harvey lay like one in a trance. Drummond feared that he might never again'open his eyes to light and home. And then the weary troop camo trot­ ting into view, old Sergeant Meinecke in command. Halting and dismount­ ing at his signal, the men stood silent and wondering at their horses’ heads, while Jiheir leader went in to report to his commander. Drummond barely lifted his eyes from the pallid features before him. ’'Unsaddle, sergeant; rub down; pick out the best and likeliest horses. I “ ith me. rfvalof No sonC.

I waa that startled when they found Corporal Donovan dead that I dropped it, and all of a sudden somebody cornea out past me lending his horse, and I asked him what he had lost, and he said hia pipe and passed me by, and I thought nothing more about it—only no sooner did ho get out into the dark where I couldn’t see him than 1 heard all of a sudden a horse start at full gal­ lop right over in this direction, and now I think of it it must have been Bland, for it was him that passed me, air—sneaking out like. ” Drummond sprang to his feet. ‘ * What say you to this, sergeant ? Do you believe—do yon think it possible that Bland has deserted and joined these outlaws?” “I don’t know what to think, air, but I haven’t forgotten what Feeny said of'him.” “What waa that?” “That ho had too smooth a tongue to have led a rough and honest life; that if he was a Texan aa he claimed Texas people had luarned to talk a different lingo since he was stationed among them with tho old Second cavalry before the war, and that he wished he’d been there at Lowell when the adjutant ac­ cepted those letters from former officers of the regiment as genuine. Bland would never show them to Feeny. Said he had sent ’em all to his bome in Texas. That was what made bad blood between them.’* “Byheavenl and now to think that one of our troop—C troop—should have been engaged in this outrage! But we’ll get them, men,” said Drum­ mond, straightening up to his full height and raising hia gauntleted hand in air. “They can’t go fast or far with those wagons auch a night as thia. They’ll strike the foot hills before they’ve gone 10 miles, then they’ll have to go alow. We’ll catch them be­ fore the sun is np, and, by the God of heaven, if Bland ia with them. I’ll string him to tbe hig^^Ht tree we can find.” ‘’.There's more than him that’ll be strung up,” growled a grizzled old trooper in an undertone. “The gang that mordered Pat Donovan will find scant mercy in thia crowd." •'Aye, aye,” said another, “and there'a mqro than Pat Donovan to be scored off.'

As were.hia men, be did not perH.ii them all to rest. The condition of hia wounded and the instructions left him by Lieutenant Drummond made it necessary that they should have constant attention It waa sore trouble for him to look at the old paymaster, whose life seemed ebbing away, lying there so pallid and moaning at times ao pitiful­ ly. out Feeny lay torpid, breathing, jret seeming to Buffer not at all. Both were in desperate need of sur­ gical attendance, but where could sur­ geon be found? The nearest waa at Stoneinan. the little cantonment across the Christobal. 30 miles to tbe east, and though a gallant fellow had vol­ unteered to make tho ride alone through tbe Apache infested pass and carry the dispatch that Drummond had hurried­ ly penciled there was no possibility of doctors reaching them before the coming night, and the thought of all they might have to suffer through the fierce white heat of the intervening day was one that. gave the sergeant deep concern. Then. too. who could say whether the solitary trooper would succeed in running the gantlet aud making his way through? He was a resolute old frontiersman, skilled in Indian warfare and well aware that hia best chance was in the dark, but speed as he might the broad light of day would be oti him long before hs could get half way through the range. The stage from the west would prob­ ably come along about sunset, but noth­ ing could be hoped for sooner. ■ No troops were nearer than the Colorado In that direction except tbe little signal poet at the Picacho. Corporal Fox and two men had been sent thither to in­ quire what the signal meant, and it would soon be time for them to come riding in with their report How be wished Wing were here! Wing knew something about everything. He waa an expert veterinarian, something of a doctor, knew more of mineralogy than allx the officers put together and* could speak Spanish better than any man in the regiment. When if became necessary to have a signal station at the peak and it was fonnd that no one knew anything about the business, Wing got one of the old red manuals, studied tho system and inside of a week was signaling with the expert sent down from San Francisco. The interior of the ranch was still a smoldering furnace a« 4 o’clock drew nigh. Woods, weak and exhausted, had fallen into an uneasy sleep. The trooper detailed to watch over old Plum­ mer and Feeny and bathe their faces with cold water was nodding over his charge. Here and there under tbe shed on the north side which tho flames had not reached the men were dozing, or in low, awestricken tones talking of the tragic events of the night.

We began to appreciate the luxury of this fruit when a num­ ber of years ago the currant worm in­ vaded the land and tureotened to cut abort our supplies of jellies and sweet preserves. The currant, Is. of course, tbo preeminent fruit for Jelly. A pret­ tier and more delicate jelly is prepared from half-white currants and half red than from the pure crimson fruit. Housekeepers frequently prepare their currant jelly with a UttJe lewa sugar than it waa formerly considered neces­ sary to uaa. Tbe sucores of the proc­ ess of reductng the juice of toe cur­ rent to jelly depends more upon the time and cdrcumstancre under which tbe fruit is gathered thasi upon the amount of sugar used. It is not advisable, in spite of this, io attempt to make jally with leas than three-quarters of a, pound of sugar to a pound of currants.

THE CITY’S MONEY the good Work of the pres ENT COUNCIL. Whwt the Council has Done for Ute Benetinge. the many occasions during tbe year, when propositions to expend money by members of the old building committee bare been voted down and vetoed. The fact Is that the members of tbe old building committee have scoffed at Aidermen whenever they have said that tbe city bad no money to do such and such work and have counelled economy. A great deal has been said in tbe Herald about ray refusing to make a report Tbe very first thing that was done by tbe finance committee, after tbe present Council was organised, was to make a full and complete report of everything con­ nected with the city’s finances showing a ba lance of >1.21 on band. 8iaoe that time I have made no less than five reports tu tbe council as the records will show. At tbe time Mr. Hicks called for a report from the finance committee there was no particular occasion for it and It was not done In good faith. He called for it simply and only to gratify bis malevolence and vindictiveness. After tbe city had borrowed money to the limit fixed by tbe charter. Mayor Waters and myself gave our personal obligations to the bank in order that the city orders should not be dishonored until such a time as taxes should be collected to pay them. This seemed to worry Mr. Hicks and he has admitted in open council that it was for this reason that be wanted a report from tbe finance committee. He had nothing else to find fault with so be kept harping on this. It was not because he was ignorant of bow the orders were being paid, because Mayor Waters aud myself bad informed him. It was simply to give vent to his cussedness. Does the Herald approve of such con­ duct on the board? I «m certain that tbe taxpayers of the city are thankful that there are men In the present council, whom Aiderman Hicks, and those who act with ,blm. can neither deceive nor bully. While.I do not claim that the balance in the/:lty treasury on the 1st of April will be large, I do claim that the present Council, will incur no Indebtedness for the next council to pay and that tbe city will be over nine thousand dollars—con­ sidering the Rickman & Atkins and C. A, Fairchild’s claims—better off financ­ ially than It was on the 9th day of April, 1897, when the council was organized* Tbe Herald can attribute this iftate of facts to {here being “buxines* men” or ignoramuses on the Council, It will not change the result. I also claim that If the voters next spring will elect good men to act with those who will bold over tn the council, taxes In this cltywlll be re­ duced to two per cent and we shall have sufficient to run tbe city without borrow-, lug a dollar.' 77880039 ERB STATEMENT 'alker was Confirmed Before of Banner.

Ald­ erman Sheldon told Mr. Walker that If be was not satisfied to do tbe duties of the office fbr tbe salary fixed by the Council he could resign. Mr. Walker said be did not have to resign. At this time there was no claim made that the statement In ques­ tion was made before Mr. Walker was confirmed, although I expressly stated that no action bad been taken by tbe Council in regard to such a statement Had the statement been made by Mr. Walker on the 16:b of April, and tbe Council afterwards confirmed blm. action in regard to that statement would hare been taken. This wu only ane month and twelve days after tbe appointment and confirmation of Mr. Walker, and, yet, with every inducement to make tbe claim that is now made, he entirely neglected IL Had it been true tbe Council would have been confronted with II then and thete. Tbe old building committee was there ready to shoulder everything on tbe city possible.

Under tbe circumstances above stated have 1 not better reasons for remembering tbe truth of the matter than idle spectators who happened to be In tbe Council rvom on tbe 16th of April, and whom Mr. Walker has convinced, by tbe above mentioned argument, that his version la correct? Is it possible that 1 should be mistaken?

Everyone preseet at tbe meeting in question will say that Mr. Wglker made lite statement be claims to have made, but at just wbat time is a matter of recollection. I wish to call attention to what took place at that meet­ ing. I submitted Mr. Walker’s name for tbe office of City Attorney to tbe Council for tbeir approval. These three propoeitioas were discussed: 1st, tbe approval: 2nd, the salary; 3rd, whether the salary would include the City Attorney’s services on the Board of Review. Aiderman Bess­ mer, I think, brought up this latter proposition lu about these words: waht to have this matter settled. Shall the City Attorney have extra pay for services on the Board of Review?” He thought he should as the state law prbvldrs tbgt members of the Board of Re­ view shall receive two dollars per day for tbowe services. kldernan Bauer stated that he was opposed to paving a salary for part ot thH duties and a ft/ for otter duties re­ quired of the City Attorney by the CRy Charter, and he thought when a man accepted an office, he should perform tbe dulleaofthat office without extra pay. He asked what the City Attorney expect­ ed to do for the salary and Mr. Walker said:—“The routine work, prosecute all cases In Justice court, but If I go Into the Circuit or Supreme court I will expect extra pay.” 1 tblnk this discussion took place late In the meetlag after tbe City Attorney’s salary and appointment Lad been con­ firmed. Others who were present may have just as good an opinion as I, bat these are the? circumstances under wbiah Mr. Walker made tbe statement as I recollect them. Luke Waters, RADY! RADY! RADY! RADY RUM.

Bessmer continued to talk, and as sone as he concluded Aid. Bicks arose and appealed from tbe decision of the chair. The vote was a tie Bsuer, McGuire, Shel­ don and t Waddle voting to tuataln tbe Mayor, and Bessmer, Burton, Hicks and Wardell voting against doing so. As the vote was a tie the Mayor declared tbe motion lost Mr. Hicks then attempted to do a lot of bulldozing, for doing which be is by no means incompetent William **td that tbe whole settlement was aaderbanded. and that no man can getjnrttee . from the present council unless be is in the ring, and accused those who opposed film of browbeating.

After so un­ selfishly sacrificing bls name to the comer stone; after doing everything In tbe City ball matter so economically and openly; after being one of a Building Committee of three, to only spend >from >9.000 to 811.000 in an unfinished building, on an appropriation of 86,000 voted by j tbe people; after emerging from tbe City building so guileless and innocent, I we regret very much to see him charge fraud in the settlement of some of the of the immortal trio, which o were doubtless occasioned by the destroying labor ot looking -at tbe and specifications so closely,, and apparently letting tbe builders do pleased In construction. William didn’t firm. W. W. Potter made a statement In re­ gard to tbe collection of accounts In | tbe City hall case, explaining away many things that had apparently clouded 1 tbe minds of some of tbe city legislators. I , Hessmer offered a resolution rescinding action of the settlement of tbe City hall cane with Rickman A Atkins. This very same question bad b en before tbe council once, had been declared out of order by the mayor; an appeal taken resulting in a tie and tbe mayor deciding tbe , tie.

Tbe extremists are now quarreling as to tbe causes of the return of prosperity, one side contending It is all due to MoKinley, the other that It Is all due to big crops. Fair minded men ought cheer­ fully admit that business confidence, born of a protective tariff and a wise decision to stand with civilization’s leaders in onr currency; business confidence born of these, together with tbe Immense crops for which there Is a heavy demand, are both responsible for the return of better tiroes. Tbe man who says times are nob better writes himself aS Insincere or fool­ ish. It is Dever wise to dispute facts; and It Is a patent fact that this country bM by great odds tbe best times it has enjoyed since 1892, and the belief is gen­ eral that still more prosperous years are before us. , . But let no man delude himself Into tbe belief, because times are better and labor more generally employed, that therefore the American people have nettled down in quiet content with conditions as they exist to-day. Experience and observa­ tion have taught our people that econo­ mic causes are at work which operate to tbe great benefit of the few. and which to say the most have brought compara­ tively slight benefits to the many. When they shall see clearly, the writer believes they will understand that the question of currency has almost no relation to these economic ills; that they would exist under a stiver standard as well as a gold stand­ ard. under a double standard as well as a single standard. In other words, the writer believes that the evils from which we ns a people suffer are occasioned by the fact that we as a people have not ad­ justed ourselves to tbe marvelous changes In our industrial life, and because tbe progress of our civilization has brought with it new conditions and these have brought new national problems, to whose righteous solution we must look for re­ lief, and In reaching the solution of which the "free and unlimited coinage of silver" would Oiler no aid whatever. The danger of tbe present hour is that self-seeking demagogues, appealing to the passions of people, and misguided rain­ bow-chasers with their “surr-thlng” theo­ ries. will lead tbe people away from ,thoughtful search after the real causes ,of economic Ills Into another chase after tbe sliver siren; and that when this siren la found tbe people will realize, as they certainly will, that they had repeated the mistake of 1892, and cbaiged their bur­ densome economic conditions to tbe wrong ,cause; aud thus a settlement of tbe real troubles will be for years delayed. Tbe writer is not posing as a political Moses. He has given not a little study (and thought to economic conditions ex­ isting in tbe United States, and in future (articles will set forth what be believes to be tbe causes of the more burdensome economic evils, and will suggest what be believe* are proper remedlee.

Several pieces of made and two recitations by ladies of Delton afforded a pleasing variety to the excellent paper entitled •‘The Rights of Cblldreo” by Mrs. Isabel Pancoast, of Hastings, and the address of Mrs, Mary A. Mayo. *f Battle Creek, on the “Mother’s Greatest Need.” Mrs. Mayo has a reputation throughout tbe state for the noble work she Is doing and any attempt to describe her powerful address would seem folly.

"There's an abundant store of provi­ sions hero—dried meat, frijoles, chile, chocolate. You shall have a cup in a moment. There’s ammunition in plen­ ty. There's even a keg of mescal, which, saving your presence, sir, as 1 am temporary commander, shall be hidden before the men begin coming in with their prisoners. There’s barley in abundance for horses and mules, water to drink and water to bathe in. We could hardly be ■better off any­ where.” Drummond looked curiously about him eo far as was possible without moving bis painstrieken head. He was ■_ lying in a deep receee in some dark and rocky canyon whose sides were vertical walls. Tumbling down from the wood­ ed heights above—rare sight in Arixona —a little brook of clear, sparkling water came brawling and splashing over its stony bed at hia feet and went on down the gorge to ita opening on the sandy plain. There, presumably, it burrowed into the bosom of tbo earth, ■ for no vestige of running stream could the Cababi valley show. The walls about him were in places grimy with tho smoko of cook fires. Overhead, not 50 feet away, a gnarled and stunted little cedar jutted out from some crev­ ice in tho rocks and stood at tho edge of tho cliff. A soldier was clinging to it with one hand and pointing out toward the east with the other. Drum­ mond recognized tho voice as that of one of his own troop when tbe man called out: •. “Two of our fellers are coming with the old yellow ambulance, sergeant, but 1 can’t see the others. ” "All right, Patterson.

AYER’S Cherry Pectoral bus been for sixty years the popular medicine for C01ds, coughs, and all diseases of the throat and lungs. It cures Asthma and Bronchitis, and so soothes the irritated tissues that a refreshing sleep invariably follows its use. No mother fears an attack of Croup or Whooping Cough for her children, with Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house. It is a specific for that modern malady, La Grippe. It prevents Pneumonia, and has fre­ quently cured severe cases of lung trouble marked By all the symptoms of Consumption. It is • The Standard Remedy Colds, Coughs, and Lung Diseases. " At the age of twenty, after a severe sickness, I was left with weak lungs, a terrible cough, and nearly tall the symptoms of consumption. My doctor bad no hope of my recovery; but having read the advertisements of AyePs Cherry Pectoral, I determined to try that preparation. I did so, and since that time, I have used no< other cough medicine. I am now seventy-two years old, and I know that at least fifty yearn have been added to my life "by this imcompaxable preparation.” A. W. SPERRY, Plainfield, N.

Jan. 28.—The third axtunal banquet of the National Association of Manufacturers of the United States, which took place Thursday night at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel was one of the largest and moat elaborate affairs of the'kfad ever given in thia city. The wildest enthusiasm prevailed when President McKinley waa intro­ duced. He spoke slowly and was plain­ ly heard in every portion of the great hall by the 1,000 guests present. Presi­ dent McKinley said in part: : ' “National policies can encourage Indus­ try and commerce, but It rem-'ns for the people to project and carry them on. If these policies stimulate Industrial develop­ ment sod energy, the people can be lately trusted to do the rest Tbe government, however. Is restricted tn Its power to pro­ mote Industry. It can aid commerce, but not create It. It can widen and deepen Ita rivers. Improve Its harbors and develop Its great national waterways, but the ships to ■all and ths traffic to carry tbe people must supply. Mnat Kwow the Wants ef Others. “Much profitable' trade la still unenjoyrd by our people because of theif present insufficient facilities far reaching desirable markets Much of It is lost because of a lack of Information and ignorance of the conditions and needs of other nations. We mint know just what other people want I before wo can supply tbeir wants. We must understand exactly how to reach them with least expense if we would enter Into the most advantageous bust- ; Dees relations with them The ship requires tba shipper: but tbo shipper must have assured promtoe that his goods will have a sale when they reach their des­ tination. It is a good rule, if buyers will not come to ua for us to go to them.

The convention called for the purpose of urging tbe adoption of 'the monetary oommission's currency reform plain which met at Indianapolis a few days ago is made up of estimable men who have undertaken an impracticable task —that of persuading the people and congress that they should accept an unsafe, retrograde plan of "currency reform” which If adopted would carry the. country back to wildcat days and teach the present generation what the< evils of an insecure paper currency are. The managers of this convention, who are the authors of the monetary con­ ference scheme, have undertaken to convince the American people that it is best to have all the legal tender paper which the general government has coined and issued funded into interest­ bearing bonds to the amount of >456,000,000, thus adding over $13,000,000 to the yearly interest bill. Nor Is thia all. The people are to be persuaded—if possible—that tbe gov­ ernment should invjte the banka to sup­ ply paper money to the amount of a billion or more dollars. These notes, which the banks are to issue after the government “has gone out of the bank­ ing business,** are not tote secured by United States bonds, as at present, but are to be a first lien on the assets of the banks. The promoters of the monetary com­ mission plan will have their hands full endeavoring to convince the people that these notes, secured by assets which are mainly the property of depositors, will be any safer than the state bank notes which used to circulate before the wnr. The mass of the people will believe, in spite of all the delegates to the Indian­ apolis convention can say. that bank note issues under the monetary com­ mission plan would be dangerous to noteholders and depositors, and that when a financial storm came most of the banks would go into tbe hands of receivers. The people are to be persuaded—if possible—that the legal tender notes which are redeemable in gold on de­ mand shall be funded and replaced by bank notes which are npt to be redeem­ able in gold on demand. They are to be made redeemable in “fawful money,** which includes silver as well as gold. That silver—which would-be used al­ ways by the banks for redemption pur­ poses—is to be made redeemable in gold by the- treasury. So the promoters of the monetary commission plan must make tbe people believe, first, that the legal tender notes must be funded into interest-bearing bonds in order “to get the government out of the boinking business," and. second, that it should “go into the banking business" so as to redeem 500.000,000 silver dollars in gold on demand, in order that the banks may not have to redeem their notes in gold. The enthusiastic gentlemen who have assembled at Indianapolis will find before they are much older that they have “bitten off more than they can chew." It may be that after they have butted tbeir heads for a few months against the stone wall of popu­ lar disapproval of their scheme they will see how hopeless are their efforts to deform the currency system.—Chi­ cago Tribune.

Monroe. ’ Wo.derv During thq national campaign of 1896, and before the triumph of the republican party, the popocratic free silver newspapers, and especially those of the south and west, insisted that national distress and calamity wonld follow the election of William McKin­ ley. Dunng the same period tbe re­ publican newspapers of the country maintained aud declared their firm be­ lief that republican success would mean tbe creation oT new industries, the disappearance of hard time% and the. beginning of a new era of national prosperity. After the election of President MoKinley, and until a few month ago, the popocratic newspapers of the south and west still insisted .that no revival of prosperity was apparent, nocr could good times be hoped for under repub­ lican policy. Simultaneously the re­ publican press of the country waa ad­ vising the skeptics to watch the prog­ ress of dvents In the industrial world, and was predicting the speedy discom­ fiture of the croakers and oalamity howlers. Which was right, tbe free silver press, with its lugubrious wail of woe, or the republican press, with ita confi­ dence and good cheer? To-day the free silver newspapers are recording every day the marvelous re­ vival of business now in progress, and no papers exceed tbe former Bryanite journals of the sduth and west in the exuberance of their joy at the new era of prosperity. Never has there been a more com­ plete vindication ' of a political party and its policy than tbe present condi­ tion of tbe commercial world accords to-day to republicanism and ita ad­ herents; Among those free silver newspapers which were most vehement in tbeir declarations, during the campaign of 1896, that calamity would follow re­ publican success, was the Atlanta ConHtitution. And after the election of President McKinley the Constitution still maintained, as long us possible, that prosperity was not in sight. But our friend, the Constitution, is singing another song just now. Jt is basking in the sunshine of that prosperity at whose coming it scoffed, and is shout­ ing hozannas at the marvelous businesu revival of the south. In a recent article the Constitution proudly announced that no less than 469 new industrial enterpries had sprung into life in the southern states between October, 1997. and January, 1898. We here quote the precise lan­ guage of our former free silver contem­ porary. "Altogether the number of Industries which have sprunr into existence In 'the south since October 1. 1897, aegrtsste 4€9. divided among the various Mates of this section in the following manner: Ala­ bama, 15; Arkansas. 30: Florida. 30; Geor­ gia. M; Kentucky. 39. Louisiana, IS; Mis­ sissippi 17; North Carolina. 39; South Car­ olina, 34; Tennessee, 49; Texas, 40; West Virginia. 41. and Vlrglnja, 36." Verily, this is a notable journalistic conversion to the paths of righteous­ ness aud truth. It is a marvel com­ parable only with tbe advance in the south's activity, which is so graphical­ ly set forth in the above quotation. It will be a strange thing if the les­ son which the south has learned since November, 1896, does not impel that great, rich, and fertile section of our common country to indorse and adopt tbe political and economic principles which have resulted in its recent prog­ ress. Tbe south, by its own experi­ ence. has discovered at last that the principles of republicanism lire the principles which underly national prosperity, and its own self-interest should henceforth impel the south to adopt those principles as ita own. Meanwhile the whole north, and Cin­ cinnati in particular, sends fraternal greeting to the south, and best wishes for a long continuance of the blessings bestowed upon it by the policy of re­ publicanism.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. AN EXCELLENT The McKinley administration has re­ stored prosperity to the country aud has given stability to the busineto world#That should be glory enough for one administration; but if the prosperity which has come is continued, then this administration will deserve the people’s thanks. That it will continue appears to be the-belief of the soundest business men in tbe country. It is believed that there will be a slow but steady appre­ ciation of values and that the spring business will be 6ven better than that of the fall and winter. This shows the result of tha restora­ tion of confidence and that condition ia to be attributed primarily to the cir­ cumstance that the country is con­ vinced that congress will enact no leg­ islation which will act as a disturbing factor in the business world.

When, a quarter of an hour later, the sergeant returned, bringing with him same improvised splints and bandages, and Drummond believed it his 'duty to make inquiry as to whether he knew Bland and what was the cause of his excitemeoit.

WHY FREE COINAGE OF SILVER AT IS TO 1 WOULD NOT REMOVE ECONOMIC EVILS The Substitution of Maehl. The writer’s purpoee In tbe last article was to show that our econdqilc burdens arise from a new and complex civilization created by steam, electricity and mechan­ ical Invention; that we are not yet adjust­ ed to new conditions made by our new so­ cial order; that while all have gained some the few have reaped more than a fair share of the advantages arising from new and mighty agencies tor the rapid production of wealth. Two widely opposing theories of gov­ ernment are being strongly urged, the “let alone" and •‘socialistic.’7 Let us look Into their merits. Those who bold to the former Insist that the beet government Is that which governs least; that government should “let alone,” and permit each lnd|vidaal citizen to work out his own position and fortune. Jef­ ferson was one of the ablest advocates of this doctrine. There can be no question but that, until tbe last few. years, it has been wise for this country to adhere closely to '.be “let alone” theory, to con­ cern Itself much more with individual rights tban individual duties. But our population is rapidly Increasing. We have no more cheap knd desirable lands to offer tiie citizens whose -trade” the inachtoe has destroyed, or whose labor is not need­ ed Since a machine can do it better and cheaper, or whose services or business are not required since tbe growth of some mo­ nopoly or trust, or the concentration of forty different kinds of business Into the modern “department store” have made un­ necessary. Opportunities for gaining an Independent position in life, or for the profitable Investment of small meau*. are certainly growing less for the average citi­ zen. The "let alone” theory has given a mighty stimulus to the individual In the United States; has been the means of mak­ ing us the greatest and richest nation of the earth; but the individualism it bas de­ veloped baa cost too much since it bas given the few too great a share of the newly created wealth. As population, cul­ ture and civilization increase tbe depend­ ence of man upon * his fallow Increases. This increased dependence of tbe many gives additional advantage to the strong, far-seeing few; so that these few can largely master and control the economic forces of a nation. They are thus able to reap an undue share of wealth which new forces and new proces­ ses produce. State socialism 18 naturally urged as a remedy for tbe condltlona we have de­ scribed. Under this the government would Own every form of property, man­ age and control every kind of production and distribution of economic goods. Every citizen would then work for tbe state; the government would see that be and those depending ou him were suitably boused, clothed and fed and.that his children were properly educated. Tbe government must also supply bls needs in case of disability or aid age. Under socialism the govern­ ment is all, the Individual nothing. When tbe mlllenlal day shall dawn, it may do to talk of complete etate socialism, which would require the highest degree of in­ tellectual. moral and spiritual culture, and supreme unselfishness. TUI then social­ ism must be a dream—beautiful and In­ spiring to hope, but yet a dream'. ' A just government munt always aim to improve to the utmost limit tbe conditions of the average citizen. As our new civili­ zation has made tbe average citizen more dependent, government should protect him from those who would take advantage of this Increased dependence. It should uot discourage men from efforts and Inven­ tions to still further Improve tbe quality or cheapen the cost of economic goods or services; but it should reserve to society the largest possible share of the benefits of such efforts and inventions. Strong natures who love power for Its own sake and who seek their own gain without counting the loss to others; tbe selfish few who become tbe virtual mus­ ters of the economic energies of a people; these will fight for that theory of govern­ ment which would stand back and even protect them In still further Increase of riches and power. Those who have felt tbe personal hardship to themselves and their famine of the new economic order will contend for a socialistic alate. The true remedy for existing economic ills will be found in taking neither extreme. Tbe great majority of the American peo­ ple are sure that “something is wrong” in our economic life. They are not fully satisfied as to what it is. When they know, they will net justly and bravely. It is when we come to the cure for economic troublen that our doctors of gov­ ernment disagree. It Is to be hoped the people will ennrive tbe quarrels of tbq Tbe advocates of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 Insist that we cannot festers right and righteous condi­ XL.

At a time of day when tbe store waa crowded the detective, who.waa keeping a sharp lookout for evildoers, was approached by a welldresaed, intelUgenHooking man, who informed him tbat he waa employed aa detective Id another store, and had fol­ lowed a shoplifter from hia firm's store to the present place, where they would find her at the glove counter stealing gloves. “Let her alone,” aald the strange detective, “and when she loads np I will follow her home, and we can then make a big haul” Consent waa given to this plan, and the shoplifter stole $200 or $300 worth of goods, un­ molested.

The oarping, critical public led the opposition after a time and began to sneer at and underrate his memory.

Nevertheless, even a century after bis death be is not at all understood by any great number of his compatriots. Ho bas been so incrusted with tradi­ tions, so overladen with theories, that few glimpses of his native character struggle into light The bulk of Americans today seem to think tbat Washington was as popular at his renomination for the presidency as when first presented for the suffrages of tbe newborn nation. They appear so ignorant of their own history as not to know that he then met with the in tens­ est resistance; that he only consented to stand again by the warmest persua­ sions of personal aud political friends of all parties. During the; campaign he was slandered and villifled as much as almost any presidential candidate has been iu later times.

Washington was rather wary oT|he mx and is not thought to have exposed him­ self to suspicion or temptation. A great point was made against his connubial fidelity because there is rea­ son to think that his wife waa a bit jealous. Jealous wives, it ia well known, have in all ages been oftener jealous without cause than with cause. Martha Washington has been nearly as much idealized as her husband. She was in no sense extraordinary. She was below the medium size, very sociable, stub­ born, hot tempered, overload, rather pretty, without any excess df good stone, independent of the rules of spelling, per­ fectly well bred, polite and kind. When only 16, be was while staying at Lord Fairfax’s sentimentally interested in Mary Cary. He became enamored of Mary Phillips©, aged 25, a daughter of Frederick Phillipse, one of the largest landed proprietors of the New York col­ ony, but she declined his proposals. He is declared by some to have been in love with one of tbe friends of his wife. He corresponded with her and Sally Carlyle, another Fairfax daughter, but they were only correspondents and of tbe platonic kind. It is evident, how­ ever, from all the revealed circumstances of his early life that he was never in danger of dying a bachelor. So much has been written of Wash­ ington’s campaigns tbat very little truth has been told of him as a man. While not a military strategist—nor did be as­ sume to be—the Revolution was not con­ ducted by strategy. Tho great problem was to keep an army in the field, and this Washington did. The British could and did repeatedly beat the continental army, though they could not beat their commander. So long as he was in the field he could get together all the fight­ ing spirit there was. He was a natural soldier having inherited tho disposition from his Indian fighting great-grandfa­ ther and bis elder -brother Lawrence. He was noted for hiurlessness under all circumstanced aud an outspoken sc-.rn of aught like cowardice. Indeed he had ho com prehension of it. He was fnr from faultless. He could and did swear roundly on occasion aud .had a violent temper, commonly under control, which now and then burst al| bounds. He had tho greatest self discipline. He seemed calm and passionless, but his intimates knew him as he was. He was in no peril from spoiling by goodness.

At the foot of Ward’s heroic statue of Wai&iugtOD on the high steps of the subtroasury building is a broad piece of stone carefully covered with a wire grating. It is so placed that should the image of tbe immortal Father of His Country come to life aud step down from his lofty pedestal he would stand on tbe same spot where occurred the crowning triumph of his career. Through tbe protecting grating can be read the following dim inscription, “Standing on this stone, in the balcony of Federal hall, April 30, I7S9, George Washing­ ton took the oath us first president of tbo United States of America. '* When old Federal hull was demolished, the sacred stone was carefully preserved, and it now occupies as nearly as possi­ ble the same position as before. Few peo­ ple have ever noticed it on the high base of the statue, where it is fittingly placed as one of the relics of the nation’s birth. WMbliijtou and Jcffcrwi Anecdote.

In speaking of remedies for economic evils Id tbe United States tbe writer be­ lieves the most urgent and important are those the Individual citizen can apply for hie own betterment We are largely the kind of men and women we want to be, and our own desires and wills have most to do in shaping our position and circum­ stances in life. The supreme duty of every American who wants a higher civil­ ization and a belter economic life for his country Is therefore to first get a right ideal of what these should be. uad then to make bis own civilization and economic life harmonize with the spirit of that which he desires fer his nation. The in­ dividual element Is always tbe greatest factor In progress. A people Is Dot lifted en masse to a higher civilization. They rise to It because tbe Individual progress of the majority compels them to a higher life. The civilization and economic conditions of a country are therefore measured by the civilization and economic conditions of Its average ciUzen. When our average citizen shall toaster the forces that bring them, and not until then, will the United States have a better civilization and eco­ nomic life. ’ Tbe forces which improve a man must work from within, not from without, and find expression In bis life and sur­ rounding*. Good may come to a man from without by suggestion, but bls free will and choice alone eau make that sug­ gested good his o»u. Therefore we must pot expect too much from the mere mak­ ing of statutes to govern our economic lite. Laws, before they goon tbe statute books must first, in their essence, be written Iu the hearts of a majority of those whom they will effect, must be in harmony with their righteous sense of justice and their righteous desire* for progress, or they will fail to bring new good. Laws cannot make the majority of a people good. On the other hand the people must make toe laws good. If the majority believed It was not a crime to steal, laws against stealing could not be enforced. Laws mark but do not o*akr the progress of a | people. The writer Is not opposing the enact­ ment of just laws calculated to elevate the civilization and the Improve economic life of the average American citizen. He Is in favor of such law*. They should not be made In any hasty manner, should not be dictated by blatherskites and demagogues, but should be the product of that wise and eoDScieutious itatesmanebip, whose propbetlc vision shall see that tbe proposed legislation shall correspond with just Ideals already In tbe minds of the majority even before these ideals have taken defin­ ite form. One of the crying evils of our day, which robs men of manliness and self re­ spect, Is » tendency to charge all the eco­ nomic burdens one may suffer to causes wholly outside one's own seif, especially to tbe passing or failure to pass some law. No more damning Idea could be put Into a young man's mind than that bls success or failure in Ilfs depends upon tbe laws tiny may make or fail to make *t Wash­ ington. However helpful good laws dr harmful bad laws may be to the average citizen, tbe good are far less potent for good than righteousness in tbdngbt, word uad deed, and bad laws cannot begin to compare in barm to bad thinking, bad de­ sires and an ungoverned wiH. Tbe great majority of tbe men and women of this country have It In their own power to greatly improve their own circumstances in life. Men most become better before their civilization and economic life can Im­ prove. There are laws which were not made in Washington, eternal laws, harmouy with which will bring a better civilization and a better economic life to any man. Let that one make bis thoughts clean, bls heart pure; let him drive envy, jealousy, im­ patience. uncharlty and Injustice from his soul; let him be honest with himself and with all men, aud In all things think of bls neighbor’s good as well as his own; let him do with , diligence and faithfulness what his bands find to do; let him be selfish enough to gain all the good char­ acter he can for himself, unsalflsh enough to Impart ail tbe good be can to his neigh­ bor, conslatent with bls duty to himself: let him have an abiding f*lth In the sudeeaa which such living deserves: that man will have a good economic life and a good and * growing civilization. He will reap tbe highest success, and his economic needs will be Mtlsfled. Why? Because his life is in harmony with toe eternal law* of God which bring these things. Much of tbe demand we hear for eco­ nomic legislation oomrefrom tbe basest motives. It springs not from a desire tor progress In our civilization but a wjah to unload one’s own burdens on to. other shoulders. It is not born of love of justice but the lust of envy, or of selfish wisk to gain without effort. It w*f a sad commentary upon American civilization, tMtaaan selfiaboass ttaH erdppdd on* In tbe last campaign.

COMMITS SUICIDE LOREN WOLCOTT. OF CASTLKTON . TAKES HIR LIFE. Loren Woluott,, who Ilves with bis brother Jerome about two miles east of about the neighborhood Monday morning that he had committed suicide.

As be passed out be evidently nicked up a gun which was wltbfn easy reach and 4rfcen a abort distance from ths house be placed the gun just under his left eye and fired a charge of shot Into bis bead. His brother dressed and followed as soon as he noticed his brother's disappearance and found the dead body lying on the ground. The back of the bead was, entirely blown off and bls brains had been blown to atoms. It seems that Mr. Wolcott has been subject to fits of Insanity and has been treated at Kalamazoo, also at the Sanitar­ ium at Battle Creek. As he bad only reached the age of 35 years, and had no serious troubles to overcome. It Is strongly belleyed that the act was committed while in a slate of insanity. ‘ We were upable to learn when the funeral was held. LOCAL NEWS.

Ex-Gov. Boies, of Iowa, has just published htii plan to send all gold and silver at tbe market price to the government vaults to serve an security and basis for the redemption of gov­ ernment paper issues. A Washington correspondent reports one of the cham­ pions of the new scheme to have said: “The ratio may be twenty to one or twenty-five to one, or even thirty to one. No matter. The point ia that by this means the democratic party wilj^ regain control of Itself and of the country, and be able to restore sliver to its proper phase as a money metal. This is the principle.at stake; the ratio is a mere detail” But that is not the principle at stake by a good deal. This government Ixas never surrendered the principle that the gold dollar and the silver dollar shall be on a parity at the world's mar­ ket price. In fact, the government ex­ isted nearly 100 years before thia poli­ cy was looked upon in any other light than as a matter of course. The peo­ ple cannot accept an uncovered 64-cent silver dollar or an 84-cent silver dollar without giving up the long existing parity between the gold dollar and ailver dollar, each representing 100 cent*. They accept 44 cents’ worth of silver how as a dollar only because the gov­ ernment protecta it with 100 cents in gold. .The democrats might as well stick to the. old ratio if they propose anything less than parity with gold.

Eaton county, with Lewis “All of those of whatever party wbo favor the conspiracy of gold and monopoly, who favor Industrial slavery, widespread poverty, and national destruction, should be on one Mde; and all of those of whatever party who oppose thia deadly design, who love truth nod right, who love their coun­ try. who love their homesand lire-sldes, and who believe In the sacred principles de­ clared by Jefferson and reasserted by Jackson and Lincoln, should be on the other aide." But there is no attempt to explain why industrial slavery, poverty and na­ tional destruction should be incidents of the gold standard when England has prospered so greatly under it for over 80 years and when Germany has made such progress under it during the last quarter of a century. Those who wish to have the mono­ metallic silver standard substituted for the gold standard are described as lov­ ers of “truth and right" and as believero in the “sacred principles" of Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. But how 6an it be “right" to make a 44-cent dollar a legal tender, to be used retroactively in the payment of debts contracted on a 100-cent dollar basis? How can it be “right" to cheat several millions of people, the majority of them wage workers, who cun ill afford to lose more than half their savings? When did Jefferson, or Jackson, or Lincoln anounce it uh a “sicred prin­ ciple" that the government should de­ base the currency in order that knavish debtors might be enabled to defraud their creditors legally? The authors of the address should have Quoted the language those eminent men used when they expressed themselves—as they are .accused of having done—-in ftivor of rot­ ten money and public and private dis­ honesty. These addresses explain nothing. They do not point out wherein any class of the community would be bene­ fited by 44-cent silver dollars. They do not attempt to justify the wholesale pe­ struction of values which the ret roactive use of such dollars would entail. They contain simply the «>ld and oftenanswered attacks on the gold standard. Their only novel feature is the failure to use anywhere those familiar words, “the free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one." That ratio, according to Bryan, is the very heart and core of the silver movement. It is a little strange that, men like Jones, who have been saying "sixteen to one” several times a day for some years, should for­ get to use those sacred words now. Does this mean that the free silver!tes arc preparing to shift their ground a little? ‘Some of the eastern democrats have urged that "sixteen to one" be dropped and the fight be made on the naked issue of the free coinage of silver. Can it be that their advici is to be taken ?—■Chicago Tribune. aloti at Council Chamber Friday eve Feb. 25. 1898 Mayor Waters presiding. Pres, at roll call:—Bauer.

Thia time the breach of the peace is In the form of addresses published by the national committees of the parties. The address might as well have been prepared in triplicate, fir the burden of the song is the same in each case, and there is little differ­ ence in the notes. There are three mouths, but one voice. The parties mentioned are recommitted to the craze which submerged them from sight at the last general election. Ephraim is joined to his idols, and they are made of silver of a debased quality and a low market value. This bourbonism. that learns nothing and forgets nothing, is characteristic of the party that, for years after the war ended op­ posed the measures of reconstruction, as it had opposed the suppression of re­ . bellion and, before that, the abolition of human slavery. The resurrection of the free silver absurdity, with its triple mouth, is such a puerile reitera­ tion that the joint silver republican, populistic and democratic elements de­ serve to be called the Billy Repopocrate. —Troy Times.

CampbelL a^ W' llshed by unanimous request of of the Asso­ ciation. Ladles and Gentlemen. Teachers and Builders ot Michigan. Tbl* subject is not of my own and I am not alone responsible for dtocusslng in your pre- ting rid of lome of ’you Although I feel war­ ranted in presuming that among the teachers of this commonwealth ahoattendthisJnstttute at their own pecuniary expense there are none Incompetent. I need not here define the educationally tnc ompe tent teacher; the subject presumes that he la, and places him In my hands. Suffice It to say t hat he continues and rapidly grows num­ erous unless he awakes, watches and hurries on; for the Impetus which you hare give to the cause of education in Michigan tends to place the competent of today in the ranks of tomor­ row's incompetent unleea ho catches and holds on to the propulsive force that within hlmrelf and bis fraternity is on Its way forward and upward Dever to be restrained. The position of the successful educator is today very exact­ ing in its requirement. nnd to be competent in such a field is to be everything In education, morals and discipline. This situation Increas­ es the family of Incompeunts. and enhances the D eed of vigilance and discrimination again them. Yes. the incompetent is abroad in the land and bow shall tbe board get rid of him ? First the board must be able to recognize him and to be able to recognize the incompetent teacher tbe board must be competent. It fol­ lows then that thetnltatory in getting rid of an incompetent teacher is tbe election of a compe­ tent board. And this leads to |bv question, what- constitutes a competent board? In a word we may ansawer, "Men who do tbetrduty know and knowing, dare maintain." Competent members of school boards are they who have not only the brains and tbe will but a burning desire to keep up with any educational pace that you. the most enthusiastic Instructors may inaugurate and push.. The successful teacher is theono that has education, consec^a tlon. determination, and a certificate; and the school board that does not in every possible way hold up the hands and encourage the heart of such an one Is morally Incompetent and hhonld be relegated or cashiered without regard for the Intelligence of Its members, or the taxes they pay. The moral equipment desireable In a member of the school board is nut always dis­ coverable nnta you have seen him under fire, the test of experience; but there are numerous physical disqualifications which are easily abparent and oi some of these I wish to speak. First:—The man who taught school thirty, twenty, or but ten years ago and without "liv­ ing kept in closest touch iind sympathy with the work ever since still thinks he knows how it is done, Is an obstruction on tbe board. A decade now« makes tedlus back-numbers ot those who stand still in school work aud the one whose strongest qualification is that he “used to teach” better be left. Second: If to place a man on tbe board hts friends have to argue that be is a heavy tavpayer, or that be lives on a certain side of the I creek, his competency is questionable: for if he had the right heart. Interest and ability no such false qualifications need bo mentioned. Third:—U a candidate for the school board has a wifeTscn or daughte* who Is a school teacher and is out of a job, or liable to be, and wanting one. drop that candidate at once un. less be is a Daniel. Imagine the perilous con­ dition of a man on the school board aud his wife, a teacher, having trouble In the school! Such a situation should Dever be made possible. And think of a son or daughter, liable to mln take*, presiding over a school with an indul­ gent parent on the board! Parental love is a little stronger than strictly business judgment, and such situation is not only awkward. It Is full of disadvantage. Cana school board so con­ stituted recognize tbe Incompetency of such teachers? Seldom. It Is better to wonnd the feeling of an avaricious, than to break up a good school. This I know to be a truth, that except that kinship which makes us all the sons and daughters of Adam, there should exist no relationship save that of business, between school officers aud their teachers Buch stumb­ ling blocks arc too apparent t<> be tolerated (or a single term. 80 much, then, for the one requirement, the first important step in getting rid of au incotn petent teacher. And now having a school board that is pre sumably able to recognise such incompetent, the next step Is to endeavor to get rid of him before be signs the contract: before he is hired. As with a member of the board .so with a teach, er; his moral Incompetency may not l>c appar­ ent at first, but ho has certain physical disabili­ ties that are easily discoverable and yet often are not discovered until someone or some school, and probably both, are injured. I will speak of but three such. And first, the question of relaUooship will bear emphasis ever at tbs risk of unprofitable repetition here. If any teacher has a near re­ lative upon the official board of any school that teacher is an incompetent as far As that achoul Is concerned, and should never go far to desire a position therein as long as the stated con. dtqpn remains. A teacher should ever be building and guarding his reputation, and that reputation is best which is beyond tlfe suspic­ ion that it required the pull of au official uncle to get and retain a job. Merit, not family, Is the American idea. Steerclear of even “your uncles, your cousins and your aunts" among school official*!. If there must be nepotism In the worlds lot It exist among federal and state aCaira which are not one-tenth so Important as are the educational concerns of tbe nation's homes and children are at stake. I have known district school to be failure be­ cause tbe children of the director and cousins plln were sore that it was the teacher's '■part­ iality.” I have known asbtbseto be fillod with consternation and rendered useless because tbe er had to writhe under the frequent and gratutioua floggings which were preaumed to prove that the teacher waa not partial.

There are said to be exceptions to every rule, and so there are to this one: but tbe dangers arising from tbe em­ ployment of our home young men and women In their own schools are such as to argue that it should never be risked. It may not only be a detriment to tbe reboot, but may be fatal to tbe er ln cur schools the public Is ever ready and frequently anxious to take a hand In every little question that may arise over discipline or anv thing else. Esch fond mother Is sure that that boy or that girl of her neighbors Is do more ca­ pable of teaching school than Is her own son or daughter, and that It is favoritism that employs The teacher Is watched for an opportunity to revive or keep alive some neighborhood pique or quarrel, and no matter how spotless the char, acter or ability of tbe young man or woman, some one is waiting to sneer and say “I toid you so.*' Ibe ability of our acquaintances is natur­ ally subject to more or less'discussion amoog tis and upon It we entertain different opinions. Instead of tbe school board alone passing upon the qualification of such teacher as In other cases, it Is at once ibe subject of tbe whole com­ munity and tbelr dlfierencesgrow and xre cartied Into the schools where they become faation and are carried Into the schools, where they be­ come factions and are fraught wltb all tbe gob lies of rebellion and revolution. Again, as 1 have already iLtimated. schools ana the cause of education are cosmo­ politan. There is do advantage in breed­ ing. Tbe practice is a determent Change o f seed and grsttir g are Inspirations. Tbe pro ouct of tbe same potatoes or tbe wheat upon tbe wme ground year after year is no more aetertor. ating than tbe product of tbe same school Uirne d back into its same rooms and Mme classes. Water In poels grows stagnant unless forces fro m without are brought to bear upon It. Bo an Interchange of thought, a traffic m ideas Is healthful and should be extended rather than circumscribed. The publication and circula­ tion of school methods and school sympathies s hould be as wide as tbe state. Certain con­ tagions are good; otfiersare bad; but skillful in oculation of k( meth id a from without will save the life of many a languishing school. Life's Ideal Is barmuny; life’ll study, bow to re ach It. The public school Is today its moat potent agency and should be freighted with Its sabstance but. carry Into it the selfish prldre, contests and Jealousies of the neighborhood and you stullfy its results through tbe dethronement of Its powers. But school boards are not always so fortunate as to get rid oi the Incompentent teacher before be is employed; they frequently find him on tbelr bands, under contract, at work in tbelr schools. There Is no question as to wbat should be done even In this case, although it Is serious. Tbe subject Implies IL He should be gotten rid of. But bow ? In my opinion there can be but one proper way—tbe borest way—without any falsehood any blckeriDg. The Interests of the school de­ mand u, and In the process tbe utmost candor should prevail. It is due to the teacher.- It Is due to the school, that change should come t hxougb tbe exercise of an active charity and a vigorous duty. It should never be done viciously or with any selfish purpose, but when tbe sltua t Ion requires it there should be no hesitancy In It s accomplishment. Tbe teacher should first b e told, very kindly, ot bls tailuree and asked to correct them. If be falls to Improve, he should then be asked, just as plainly and Just as kindly, to resign. If be complies, you are rid of him and tbe question is answered. If be refuses t he taw then provides bow to handle the case’, and briefly let me say: The contract should a 1 way s specify that the board reserves to Itself tbe right to at any time annul the same and dispense with tbe services of Um teacher when, ever 11 deems said teacher Incompentent to properly manage or Instruct ths school, which I ncomptntency should of course be determined upon proprr bearing. Should the contract not Include such provialon then tbe process would be upon suspension of certificate, either by the examining committee of tbe board or by the county examiners granting It, ns the case may be. It Is. however, pre*umable that cases will arise where the law will have to De Invoked. An earnest and honest canvas of tbe situation by tbe board and teacher will convince and adJnsL Tbe board must be rueh that tbe teacher will believe that U knows good work and the best interests of tbe school, and Its reqt^sts will seldom beCrefused. The greatest dimculty. In tbe opinion of the writer, is that tbe board too often have but little knowledge of or.lnterest in the school and for that reason lack tbe capacity as well as tbe stamina to squarely most the situation and bravely dis­ pense with every form of Incompetency.

A man’s body starve* a long time before his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nourSshment. They become inert and half dead and then are attacked by the baccilli of consumption. The “Golden Medical Discovery ” restores the long-lost appetite; it strengthens the weak stomach and cor­ rects the impaired digestion; it promotes the flow of digestive juices and recilitates the assimilation of the life-givingele ments of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich, old inert thsuea are tom down, carried off and excreted, and new, healthy, muscular tissues replace them. It allays inflammation of the mu­ cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa­ cilitates expectoration, and deepens the breathing, supplying the system with a much needed stock of oxygen.

Oil 4 4 4 of tbe land to pay taxes on both tbe laud end the mortgage upon It, The writer believes fully that if we had a law tn Michigan by virtue of which, if property covered by mortgage or bond was taxed, .then tbe mortgage or bond would not be taxed, it would result In such a large In­ crease In capital offered for such loans as would greatly reduce the rate of Inter­ est and thus help borrowers. He believ­ es tbe gain resulting from lower Interest would be far more than wbat b now paid Id taxes on such securities. . What are remedies fur the manifest wrongs of our methods of direct taxation? First and foremost an aroused public and Individual conscience on. the subjecL Tax-dodging is robbery of one’s neighbor, nothing more nor leas. When one com­ pels his neighbor to pay one’s own share of taxes he steals from that neighbor, as really and truly as If he took the tnuney from bls pocket The motive of robbery may be lacking, but tbe robbery Is done nevertheless. If the laws made tax­ dodging a felony and punishable as Is stealing, and men could bring themselves to feel that & tax-dodger is a thief who steals from others by compelling them to pay what he should pay hlmsslf. it would not be considered respectable to dodge paying taxes. x The writer would suggest as laws that would briug relief the following: (1.) Make bonds and mortgages not taxable wherever the properly covered was taxed. (2 ) Pass the Indiana law for taxing railroad, telegraph, telephone and express pompanles. Have a state commission ti^the value of these corporation proper­ ties-in each supervisors district, and make them pay local, county and sta(e taxes the same and in the same proportion as other property. (8.) Make railroads show up how many, on the average, they use of Pullman and Wagner sleeping cars, or of -Red Line.” "Blue Line.”..•‘Merchant’s Dis­ patch" or other lines of freight car*, and tax these lines for the benefit of the primary school fund. (4 ) As there is do danger of double taxation with notesand cash or. deposits In banks they should be taxed as is other properly and laws framed that will bring this properly to light for purposes of taxa­ tion. (5.) The writer believes In the wisdom and justice of an income tax. The U. 8. Supreme court has decfared thia uncon­ stitutional. Then by all means let us have an amendment to the con­ stitution that will permit such a tax. The experience of Germany and England shows It to be a wise and just way of meeting the expenses of Society. The writer favors the German law. which severely punishes any evasion ot this tax. When a citizen of Germany dies, the government names the administrator of his eatate. All books and papers of the deceased must be given over 10 this ad­ ministrator. From government records ba can find out exactf) whatever this man has received from his father’s or any other estate. All his books art* carefully examined and comparisons mad? with the returns the man made to the government showing bis income. If It le found that the deceased failed to report any part of his income and thus evaded the tax, the matter Is carefully computed, and the government’s claims for the back tax. principal and compound interest. Is ahead of every other claim against the estate. (6.) A graduated Inheritance tax for estates above 825,000 In value. As It Is largely tbe protection of society and Rs laws which makes the accumulation of such an estate posaible. It is no more than just, when estates reach beyond that some greater figure, that society receive---------------return than tbe regular tax. (7.) Stringent laws to punish tax­ dodging; also laws which would give toe state, county, township or city a first claim on the estate of a man who bad evaded ,'.... l. ‘._ just *_2. taxes. Government ad­ paying bls ~ ministration of estates as In Germany would be decessary io show whether a man had made honest returns of his properly to tbe assessor. I have spoken of direct taxation. Of indirect taxation ■ such as tariff and Internal revenue duties it is not necessary to say anything now. M, L. Cook. COMING ELECTIONS A FEW THOUGHTS REGARDING THE CHARACTER OF MEN •HIFTfNQ SOIL.

With such an ormy .it wan suggested that Mexico could be held and* governed in an orderly way and prosperity might be assured. The plan contemplated a pronunciamento, in which Gen. Scott should de­ clare himself dictator of the republic for a term of five years or more, to give time for agitators to acquire pacific babit* and to learn to govern them­ selves and to respect an orderly gov­ ernment, where the rights of property were not only respected, but fully pro­ tected. Already in posecpudon of the fort*, ar­ senals, founderiee, cities, mines and porta of entry, with nearly all the arms, it was not doubted that a very general acquiescence would follow. Grant was invited to several conclave* of officers, but from the first emphat­ ically declined to enter into the plot. Hte did not purpose to change his al­ legiance or his service or his flog, but meant, he said, to return with the Fourth regiment to the United States. He had several reasons for this deter­ mination. Re was essentially a con­ servative thinker and was endowed with a remarkably high sense of jus­ tice, and he had genuine contempt for any adventure which had any flavor of dishonesty<«r bud faith about it, and he would not consider for a moment the project of placing an alien government over Mexico while the nation was dom­ inated by superior force.

"while 1 help the lieut nantdown;” and00, with a laugh, Drummond given it up, and aft­ er one last wistful glance out over the deeert tarn, to pick up th. binocular, when it ;is struck, smashed, and sent clattering down into the canyon bv a •hot fired not 40 yards away. 7 “Fur God’s sake, come quick, sir!” gasps Costigan, r Then, desperate at his loved young leady’a delay, the Irish­ man throwa a brawny arm about him and fairly drags him ta the end of the steep. Then down they go, Costigan leading and holding up one hand to sus­ tain Drummond in case of accident Down, hand under hand, to the accom­ paniment of. cracking rifles and an­ swering carbines, while every other sec­ ond the bullets come'"spat” upon the rocky aides, close and cloeer, until, al­ most breathloas. Costigan reaches the solid bottom of the gorge and swings Drummond to his feet beside him. See­ ing their leader safely down, the men, with one defiant ahot and cheer, scurry to the edge of the canyon and come slipping and sliding to join their com­ rades. At the month of the cave Cos­ tigan strives to push Drummond in through the narrow aperture left for their admission, but miscalculates his commander's idea of the proprieties. Like gallant Craven at Mobile Bay, Drummond will seek no safety until his men are cared for. "After yon, pilot,” the chivalric sailor's last Word as the . green waters engulfed his sinking ship, finds its cavalry echo in Drummond’s "After you. corpora I." in this faraway canyon in desert Arizona. The men have scrambled through the gap, then Costigan, with reluctant backward glance, is hurried in just as a flash of flame and smoko leaps downward from the crest and the foremost Apache sends a hurried, ill aime<l shot at the last man left. Before another shot can fol­ low. Drummond's arm is seized by mus­ cular hands, and he 4s dragged withifi" the gap. Two or three huge stones are rolled into. place, and in an instant through the ragged loopholes the black muzzles of half a dozen carbines are thrusting, and Costigan shouts exultingly, “Now, you black legged black­ guards, come on if ye dare!” But no Apache is fool enough to at­ tack a strong position. Keeping well under cover, the Indians soon line the crest and begin sending down a rain of better aimed bullets at the loopholes, and every Tninuto the flattened lead comes zipping through. Odo of these fearful missiles tears its way through Costigan's sleeve, and striking poor old Moreno in tbe groin stretches him groaning upon tho floor. A glance shows that the wound is mortal, and despite his crimes the men who bear him, moaning, in to the farther cave are moved to sudden sympathy as his hapless wife and child prostrate them­ selves beside his rocky bier. Drum­ mond can afford to lose no more and orders tbe lower half of each hole to be stopped with blankets, blouses,shirts, anything that will block a ahot, and then for an hour the fire of the besiegers is harmless, and no longer can the be­ sieged catch even an'’occasional glimpse of them. At noon their fire has ceased entirely, and even when breathing a sigh of relief the men look into one anoth­ er’s faces questioningly. How long can this last ? How hot, how close the air in the cave is growing! Drummond has gone for a moment into the inner chamber, where Moreno is now breathing his last, to inquire for Wing and to speak a word of cheer to his fair and devoted nurses. Not one murmur of complaint or dread has fall­ en from their lips, though they know their father to have ridden on perilous quest and into possible ambush; though they know their brother to be lying at the ruined ranch, perhaps seriously wounded; though their own fate may be capture, with indescribable suffering, shame hud death. Fanny Harvey has behaved like a heroine, as the two trooper»'remarked, and Ruth has done her best to follow her sister’s lead. Yet they, too, now realize how close and srifling tho heavy atmosphere is grow­ ing. Is it to be the black hole of Calcutta over again ?

Tbe favorite reply, indeed the only re­ ply, whlffi tbe silver men have been able to make to the advance In prices which ' has come with tbe adoption of tbe protec­ tive system and tbe opening of factories and consequent Increase in consumption —all without tbe free coinage of silver— 54 has been that the advance in price of wheat was due to tbe shortage abroad. But how about corn: bow about rye; how about oata? Perhaps they will reply that the advance in wheat incidentally affected wther bread-stuffs and resulted In tbe adwuaee in corn, rye. and oata. Then how about apples, wool, and butter and cheese? How about lard and bacon and beef and ■mob pork? Every one of. them has ad­ vanced; la moot cases from 35 to 50 per eenL Ln the brief space of time since the , osentry rejected this panacea for all Ills, the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and determined to adopt that system which furnishes the real home market protection.

Senator Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, author of the fa­ mous, or ibfamous. Mills bill, desires to commit the democratic party in that state to the old, woraout, threadbare, ruinous policy of free trade. In commenting upon bis desire tbe San Antonio Express says:— “Senator Mills’ tetters to tbe democratic executive committee published in yester­ day’s Express shows plainly that tbe hon­ orable gentleman has dropped Into the trail so far to the rear of the democratic political procession In Texas that he can­ not even hear tbe blare of the band or the' rattle of the drums. He wants tbe prima­ ries postponed in order that he may have time to campaign the state with a tariff discussion, following tbe old free trade lines he has been clinging to for all these long years past, and which bas been repu­ diated by tbe democrats, populists and re­ publicans alike In Texas, speaking through tbelr state conventions. It does not look like Senator Mills bad a ghost of a chance for re-election, but if he should have bls request granted and go before tbe people of Texas and ask further political favor at tbelr hands on a free trade platform his defeat would simply be overwhelming. Tbe Texas people, having learned a bitter lesson through experience, now want men in the national congress whe will seek to promote tbelr interests from a practical standpoint and not blindly follow a theory over a precipice of disaster, regardless of existing facts and conditions of tbe mater­ ial interests of those who aent them there. Theory is one thing, practice another, and Senator Mills is old enough to recognize this fact If be would open bls eyes.” Tbe agricultural exports for 1887 amounted to nearly seventy per cent of tbe total exports, being In amount >089,755,193, and showing a gain over those of 1895 of $115356,929, or about twenty per cent. The agrtealtaral imports for 1897 were also large, due to a considerable ex­ tent to the excessive importations of for­ eign wools and sugars just prior to tbe en­ actment of the Dlngley law, the importa­ tion of these two articles alone being nearly thirty million dollars greater than usual. Notwithstanding this fact, how­ ever, tbe excess of exportations over Im­ portations for the year is very large, being far ahead of the figures for last yea? and other previous years.

It sprang Man-like from the forehead ot its progenitor, and at once took np tbe cause of the enslaved people of tbe south whose wrongs were crying bitterly to heaven. Its leaders were swept along in tbe under-current that lhe more radical members of society, then known as Aboli­ tionists, bad set in motion through a long period of Intense agitation and who like so many Johns clad in camels hair, bad pro­ claimed tbe near approach of a greater power with assurance of victory. Born ot noble sebtlmente the cause of tbe southern negro became tbe cause of tbe Republican party, bls wrongs and rights being made Its wrongs and rights, and human slavery was at once fated to be crushed forever to the earth.

I have vUntod the military prison, hospitals, relief Se­ pt**, asylums, guardhouses, trochaa, farnui, offices and homes. I have been in four provinces. Havana. Piner del Rio, Matacaas and Banta Clara, and in the principal cities of each. I am of an observant turn of mind and I kept my eyes open. I have found out wbat I could not possibly have .learned without a personal visit, while I have not to my knowledge antagonised a single person on tbe Island. My trips with Mias Barton have been of great service, because, when the minds of people are mel­ lowed by gratitude their hearts speak out th* truth. As a business man, I wish to say that Miss Barton's methods of re­ ceiving, caring for and distributing the supplies are most admirable. I am sur­ prised at her ability and delighted at the results attained. The American people may be fully confident that all money or supplies sent will be conscientiously ap­ plied.

The famine, suf­ fering and awful destitution among the reconcentrado* la something almost Inde­ scribable. The alcalde of Matansam told me that 55,000 penwni had died of starvation In that acity during the last year and that 5.800 had died during February. "In a ward of the hospital .at Matsnsas there are 100 Cubans, most of them sleep­ ing on the floor. We spent a'half hour at the hospital and during that time three of ths patient* in that ward died.

U (Concluded from last week,) The “Report o( the Committee of Twelve” shows that in only a few states Is the average length of the school year over eight months. This includes cities and towns, as well as rural districts, so that it Is fair to conclude that In genera! the country teacher finds employment not to exceed seven months In a year,—not more than five or six in some states. To this we must add the fact that the frequent change in teachers in the short school year (district teachers eftener being hired by the term than the year) makes the work much less effective than it other­ wise would be. In many of the states district teachers are hired by toe term, two or three differ­ ent teachers being employed during the short school year, seldom employing the same teacher a second year. This freguent change in teachers was found to be one of the potent causes of failure In rural schools. The engagement of rural teachers should be continuous, at least for the full school year, and terminated only for cause, as is the case in many cities. The school year should also be length­ ened to a fall nine or ten months. In most of the states toe minimum length Is prescribed by statute, but In few of them Is this sufficient. Whatever efforts may be made tor the improvement of the rural s:hool, until there can be offered a “year’s work and a years wage,” it will be diffi­ cult and often impossible to secure and retain accomplished teachers for contin­ uous service. In countries In which people are accus­ tomed to the action of centraliz-d author­ ity. prescription settles the matter, as In France, where the whole school year is more than forty weeks; in England, where as conditions of receiving the government grant, the principle teacher at least must bold the government certificate of qualifi­ cation, the school premises must be la a good sanitary condition, the staff, furni­ ture and apparatus most be sufficient, and the school must have met two-hundred davs In the year. In countries like our own, in which popular Initiative In political matters has been the rule, success must usually come by other methods, and In this respect we have much to learn from our neighbors. Io Canada the schools have been length­ ened to a full scbdol year mainly under the stimulus given by the mode of dis­ tributing toe government grants. The Canadian school year Is considered to be twelve months, less the holidays, amount­ ing to seven.weeks. ' Adding to our plan of requiring a mini­ mum school year the Canadian plan al­ ready In a degree recognized in some re­ cent school legislation, of making the amount of government grant depend in a large degree upon the length of the school year and the average attendance, consolidating schools whenever practic­ able, and giving from the larger units of school administration to aid the smaller and weaker, the obstacle of the short term and insufficient compensation CM ~ be removed.

Nov is the time that every one should take a 1 spring tonic to strengthen the system and pre­ pare for the extra demands of Nature. Every spring the system is thoroughly over­ hauled—there is a general house­ cleaning going on within. The impurities that have been accumu­ lating for a year must be got­ ten rid of and the system reno­ vated and prepared for the siege of summer. Unless Nature is as­ sisted in this task, the strain on the. system is too severe, and a breakdown is tbe result. Some people neglect to supply this as­ sistance, and as a result they are overcome by an enervating, de­ pressed feeling, their energies re­ lax, appetite fails, and they are totally disabled for a season. Everybody just now needs a tonic, and Swift’s Specific Wuiltl Up with &S.S.%Blood is^Jogically the best tonic on ths market. The general health needs building up, hence a tonic is needed that is entirely harmless. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, aud is the only blood, rem»dy that is guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury, or other harmful mineral ingredient. It is Nature's remedy, being made from roots and herbs gathered from Nature’s great storehouse. It thoroughly cleanses, the blood of all impurities, tones up the gen­ eral health, renews the appetite and imparts new life and vigor to the entire system. Dangerous typhoid fever and other prevalent summer diseases seldom attack a person whose system is thoroughly cleansed and toned np with 3. 3. 3. in the spring. Get S. 8. 3. and be pre­ pared.

Tbe total number of failures of firms, indlvidnals, banks and other corporations throughout tbe United States reported for the year just ended was 13.099. or more than 2,000 less than in 1896, or 13.3 per cent. The decrease was 15 per cent from 1893, tbe panic year, and 2.3 less than even 1801, which was admittedly a remarkably prosperous business year. Striking refutation of the assertion by William J.

AN ENGINEER SAVED. How Mr. Baxter’* Life wat> Mlraetiloualy Saved—Hla Experience aa Belated to a Times Reporter. Buffalo, N. Y.. March 28.—The Buf­ falo Thues has devoted an entire column to the remarkable ca?e of J. IL Baxter of ISI Wnlter 8L, an engineer running on the W. N. Y. & P. Ry. It appears that Mr. Baxter bad been afflicted with Bright’s Disease and stone in the bladder, a complication of disease that was univers­ ally supposed to be Incurable. He was first treated by his family physician with­ out receiving any benefit The Brother­ hood’s doctor next diagnosed his ease and advised him to go to th^ hospital, which he did as a last resell to have an operation I performed. After remaining in the Sisters’ Hospital for some time, he was found to be In too weak a condition to stand tbe strain, having gone down in tlesh from hte normal weight 210 to 106 pounds. The operation was then aban­ doned and be left the hospital, to die. One of Mr. Baxter’s btother engineers hearing ot bls sad case and knowing that Dodd’s Kidney Pills is the only remedy that has ever cured Bright’s Disease, visited his friend and prevailed upon him to try them. To a Times reporter Mr. Baxter said:—“In a few days after begin­ ning to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills my condition began to improve, the paleness gradually left my face, tbe stone passed away and the pfiffness under my eyes be­ gan to disappear, and two months from the time I began them. I surprised tbe W. N. Y. & P. Ry., by applying for work. I am now back on my engine again as well as ever I was In my life having re­ gained my normal weight and there is not a symptom of tbe disease left In me. Nothing that has happened in railroad circles here for many years has created such a profound sensation as his recovery, which is considered nothing abort of a miracle. Chas. H.

President’s Message to Congress Does Not Mention Poasl- bUlty ot War. with No Startling Statement Hla Intention—Arnica for I liberate Consideration. Washington, .March 29.—The president Monday sent the following message to To the Congress of the United States: For some time prior to the visit of the Maine In Havana harbor our consular reprcsentatlves painted out the advantages tc flow from the visit oPnatlonal ships to the Cuban waters, in accustoming the people tc the presence of our flag as the symbol ot good will and of our ships in the fulfillment of the mission of protection to American in­ terests, even though no Immediate need therefor xnlrfht exist. Accordingly. on the 24th of January last, after conference with the Spanish minister In which the renewal of visits of our war vessels to Spanish'waters’was discussed and accepted, the peninsular authorities at Madrid and Havana were advised of th* purpose of this government to resume friendly naval visits at Cuban ports, and that In that view the M^ine would forth­ with call al the port of Havana. The Maine «< Havana. This announcement was received by the Spanish government with appreciation of th* friendly character of the visit of the Maine and with notification of intention to return the courtesy by sending Span­ ish ships to the principal ports of the United States. Meanwhile the Maine en­ tered the port of Havana on the 25th of January', her arrival' being marked with no special incident besides the exchange of customary salutes and ceremonial visits. The Maine continued in the harbor of Havana during the threw weeks follow­ ing her arrival. No appreciable excite­ ment attended her stay: on lhe contrary, a feeling of relief and confidence followed the resumption of the long Interrupted friendly intercourse. So notlceab'e was this immediate effect of her visit that the consul-general strongly urged that the prseence of our ships In Cuban waters should be kept up by retaining the Maine at Havana, or in the event of her recall by sending there a vessel to take her place. The Fatal Evewiag. At 40 minutes past nine on tbe evening of th? 15th of February the Maine was destroyed by an explosion, by which the entire forward part of the ship was ut­ terly wrecked. In this catastrophe two officers and 264 of her crew perished, those who were not killed- outright by her ex­ plosion being penned between decks by the tangle of wreckage and drowned by the Immediate staking of the hull. Prompt assistance was rendered by tbe neighbor­ ing vessels anchored in the hart»or, aid being especially given by the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alphonso XII. and the Ward line steamer-City of Washington, which lay not far distant. The wounded were generously cared for by the authori­ ties of Havana, the hospitals being freely opened to them. w,hlle the earliest recov­ ered bodies of the dead were interred by the municipality la a public cemetery in the city. Tributes of grief and sympathy were offered from all official quarters of the Island. Caused la tease ExeUcarait. The appalling calamity fell upon tbe peo­ ple of our country with crushing force <nd for a brief time an intense excitement pre­ vailed. which In a community less Jost and self-controlled than ours might have led to hasty acts of blind resentment. This spir­ it. however, soon gave way to the calmer processes of reason and to the resolve to in­ vestigate lhe facta and await the materia) proof before forming a judgment az to the cause, the responsibility and, if tbe facts warranted, the remedy due. This course | necessarily recommended itself from the outset to the executive, tor only In the light of a dispassionately ascertained certainty: could it determine the nature and measure of its full duty In the matter. The usual procedure was followed, as Id ail cases of casualty or disaster to national vessels of any maritime state. A naval, court of Inquiry was at once organized, composed of officers well qualified by rank anil practical experience to discharge th* onerous duty Imposed upon them. Aided by a strong force of wreckers and divers the court proceeded to make a thor­ ough Investigation on the spot, employing every available means for. the impartial and exact determination of the causes of the explosion. Its operations have been conducted with the utmost deliberation and judgment, and while Independently pur­ sued no source ot Information was neglect­ ed and the fullest opportunity was allopedfor a simultaneous investigation by tbe Spanish authorities. • .

The state of dhtlpllne on board, and the condition of her magazines, boilers, ami bunkers and. storage compartments, are passed in review, with the conclusion that excellent order prevailed and that no in­ dication of any cause for an internal explo­ sion existed In any quarter.

That portion of the port Side of the proIx from about tec’Jve deck which extendi frame 33 to about frame 41, was blown up deck aft and over to port. The __ from about frame 30 to about frame 41 was blown up aft and slightly over to starboard, folding the forward part of the middle superstructure over and on top of the after part. This was. in the opinion of the court, caused by the partial explaslon of two or more of the forward magazines of the Maine. T • * Plates Forced Up. S. At frame 17, the outer shell of the ship, from a point 11*4 feet from the middle hne of the ship and six feet above the keel when In Its normal position, has been .'forced up so as to be now about four feet above the surface of the water, therefore 'about 84 feet above where It would be had the ship sunk uninjured. The outside bot­ tom plating is bent Into a reversed V shape, the after wing of which, about IS feet broad and 32 feet In length (from frame 17 to frame 25), doubled back upon Itself against the continuation of the same plating extending forward. At frame 18 the vertical keel Is broken in two, and the flat keel bent Into an angle similar to the angle formed by the outside bottom plating. This break Is now about six feet below the surface of the water, and about 30 feet above its normal position. Caused by ■ Mine. In -the opinion of the court, this effect :ould have been produced only by the ex­ plosion of a mine situated under the bot­ tom. of the ship at about frame 18. and somewhat on the port side of the ship. «. The court finds that the loss of tbs Maine, on the occasion named, was not tn any respect due to fdtflt or negligence on the part of any of the officers or member* of lhe crew of said vessel. . T.

He is not 50 paces from the pile on which the mob leader, with half a dozen half drunken MteUites, is shouting hia exhortationa. Just as tbe lieutenant's arm is grazing grim old Feeny’s elbow as he poses the first sergeant’s etatiou, a brick comes hurtling through the air, strikes full upon the back of the offi­ cer’s unprotected hebd and seoda him, face forward, into the muddy street In the yell of triumph that follows. Wing’s voice for an instant is unheard. Obedient to ita principle, "Never load until about to fire,” the battalion’s car­ bines are still empty, but all on a sud­ den 13 troop halts. “With ball car­ tridges, load!” is Wing's hoarse, stern order. “ Now aim low when 1 give the word. Fire by company. Company, ready!” and like one the hammers click. But no command “Aim*’ fol­ lows. “Look out! Look out! For God’ssakedon’t fire! Out of the way!” are the frantic yells from the throats of the mob. Away they go, scattering down side streets, alley ways, behind lumber piles, everywhere—anywhere. Many even throw themselves flat on their faces to escape the expected tem­ pest of lead. “Don’t fire,” says the colonel mercifully. “Forward, double time, and give them the butt. We’ll support you.” Down from the lumber piles come the erstwhile truculent lead­ ers. “Draw cartridge, men," orders Wing in wrath and disappointment "Now, butts to the front and give them h—1. Forward!” And out he leaps to take the lead, dashing straight into the thick of the scattering mob, his men after him. There is a minute of wild yelling, cursing, of resounding blows and trampling feet, and in the midst of it all a single shot, and whqn Wing, breathless, is finally halted two squares farther on only a dozen broken beaded wretches remain along the street to represent the furious mob that con­ fronted them a few minutes before. Only these few and ono writhing, bleed­ ing form, around which half it dozen policemen are curiously gathered, and at whose side the battalion surgeon has just knelt “He’s shot through and throagh,” is his verdict presently. "No power can save him. Who is he?” “About the worst and most danger­ ous ringleader of riot thia town has known, sir, ” is the answer of one of the police officials. “No one knew where he came from cither—or hia real name.” And then in his dying agony the fallen demagogue turns, and tbe other side of his twitching face comes uppermost. Even through the thin, grizzly beard there is plainly seen an ugly, jagged •car stretching from ear to chin. "This isn’t hia first row by any man­ ner of means, if it is his last, ” says a sergeant of police. “Look at that! Who shot him anyhow?” “1 did,” is the cool> prompt answer, and Sergeant Feeny raises his hand to his carried carbine and stands attention as he sees the surgeon kneeling there. “1 did, and just in tbe nick of time. He had drawn a bead on our lieutenant, but even if he hadn't I’d have downed him, and so would any man in that company yonder. ” And Feeny pointe to where C troop stands resting after ita charge. "You knew him then?” "Knew him instantly, as a deserter, thafe. highwayman, and murderer— knew him as Private Bland in Arizona and would know him anywhere by that diaaily. away.

And here the battalion surgeon and the fam­ ily physician unite in declaring he must remain until released by their order, and here for three days and nighta he ia nursed and petted and made so much of that he is unable to recognize himself, and here sister Pubs comes to cry over and kiss and bless him and in her turn to be made much of and forbidden tc leave, and then, after her big.brother’s return to duty with the battalion, now being fed and feted by all the North Side; he must needs come over every evening to see her, and, now that pre­ sentable uniforms have arrived and the rough beards have been shaved and the men of the old regiment look less like "toughs.’’ but no more like American soldiers as our soldiers look in the field of their sternest service, her sisterly pride in her big brother is beautiful to see—so is her self abnegation, for, somehow or other, though he comes to see her, he stays to look at Ruth Har­ vey, shy,silent and beautiful, and soon, as though by common consent, that corner of;the big parlor is given up to those twq. the tall, stalwart trooper and the slender, willowy girl. And one evening be comes ‘earlier than usual in manifest discomposure, and soon it transpires that important orders have reached him.’ Fanny turns pale. “Are you—all—ordered back?.” she crit-s and is for an instant radiant at his as­ surance that the order involves only himself.

At 12 o’clock fast time be was all through the finishing room, and that part ef tbe factory and everything seemed to be all right and no Indication of fire. Juat 20 minutes later as he was eat­ ing bis midnight lunch, tbe building was discovered on fire. Tbe Cedarlne factory Is one of the best and most enterprising Institutions in tbe dty. About a year ago It was started with 20 bands. By enterprise and tall hustllog the factory quickly run its working force up to 150 hands where It was it the time of tbe fire. Tbe institu­ tion has enjoyed a splendid trade and ito goods were well known In tbe furniture market Tbe growth of tbe business was a monument to the enterprise and busi­ ness abilty of Messrs Alien Bros, a»d a matter of pride to every citizen of Hmiqgs. We are unable to learn whether tbe building will be rebuilt or not boi it is tbe earnest wish of every cltireu that It will be, and that the proprietors may yet enjoy that degree of success to which their energy and business ability entitle them. To the firemen cannot be given too much praise for their good work. Their good work together with our excellent water system, saved probably the best half of tbe plant,-and thus in two hours the water system fully paid for Itself. With our old band pump engine nothing would have been saved. Later—We understand that tbe build­ ing will be rebuilt as soon as insurance Is adjusted. The temporary office of tbe Company has been located In tbe Tinkler block, two doors east of the Banner ofltoe. 1 * in the south end of building “D” was where the fire originated, lu the north end of the building was stored the manu­ factured tables. Tbe heat from tbe burning building was Intense and for a time tbe machinery building was despaired of, especially when the fire reached tbe north end of the finishing building. The “battle royaF was fought at K. F. and nothing but tbe best kind of work saved tbe machinery* building. At that point the beat was terrific and the four streams of water no more than supplied the demand. Grad­ ually the beat became less Intense and after a time the firemen were able to give JUDGE ARMSTRONG. OF BOWEN'S some of their attention to controlling the MILLS.

It became quickly apparent that this one of tbe factory buildings could not possibly be saved and tbe efforts of the firemen were confined to saving the machinery building, tbe two balng only 50 feet apart and connected br an overhead covered pas­ sageway. Crowds of people surrounded tbe build­ ing and expressed great sorrow at tbe loss to Messrs Alien Bros, and to tbe bity, and especially because of the throwing of 150 hands out of employment. So Intense was the beat that many considered tbe en­ tire plant doomed. The scene presented by the burning hniminl wa awful and at the same time building, was yo,,a,Dk ”• Impressive. A great sheet of flame shot up hundreds of feet into the air and the heavens liter­ ally filled with blazing particles of wood. The roar of the flames could be heard for blocks and a large circle of space was lighted up as bright as day. Above the din and confusion nothing but the occasional orders from tbe firemen were beard. In order that our readers may belter understand tbe situation we make the following diagram of the build­ ing. protection at this factory. Tbe main stand-bys of this city are Ils splendid fac­ tories giving employment to hundreds of bands at good wages, making a good trade for our merchants, filling every vacant house in tbe city and making Hastings one of the best business cities in the state. Without our factories tbe city would be too dead to even cause an offensive odor, and too much cannot be done to build up. encourage and sustain our manufacturing Instltqiluns. Our people appreciate these facts, they are loyal, and want to do all in their power to keep the factories going. But there is no question but what the fire protection given the Cedarlne factory Is inadequate. A four-inch; wooden main carrier the water part of (he distance to tbe factory and the wonder Is that under the 120 pounds pressure, which Engineer Murphy gave the firemen, the wooden main did not burst Luckily, however. It did not and the boys did very effective work with tbe water aupply. What tbe factory ought to have, and what tbe citi­ zens in that portion of the city are en­ titled to. Is a four-inch Iron mala runulng down along the railroad as far as tbe fac­ tory. With two four loch wains tbe fac­ tory would be given splendid fire protec­ tion. Kyi rec us Rogers, W. C. Towne. | .

Seeing that further effort was useless and being literally surrounded iwlth flames Mr. Armstrong rushed from' tbe building and threw himself-from the front steps, striking face downward. When found the flames were all around him and he was literally “pulled out of the fire” in an Insensible condition. Mr. Armstrong can attribute tbe fact that he Is among tbe living to-day. to the fact that be wore a suit of all wool clothes. As It was. tbe crown and rim of bls bat was burned off, bls left foot, left leg, left side and tbe lower portion of his back were badly burned.

Since al! these things are obvious; sound inferences from ehangfe in for­ eign trade can be formed only in the light of a due. regard for the nature and circumstances of those changes. But this doea not alter the fadt that protective d fit les do vend to diminish imports of certain kind*, and would not be perpetually denounced it they had no such tendency. The restriction of imports, when it stimulates home produerion of corresponding urtieies, msy and often does result In the pay­ ment of millions of American laborers for their products instead, of the pay­ ment of millions to foreign labor. It would be hard for the most stAJWart tin plates, for example, had stopped the payment of $15,000,000 or more to foreigners for their product, nnd caused the payment of sundry millions tu Americans instead. If that duty and others of similar influence tend to lessen dependence upon foreign indu*tries, to build up here a larger demand for American labor, the decrease in im­ ports appears to be a good thing for the country. IB anybody prepared to deny it? . So heavy imports may either mean that the country is borrowing money, as the government did borrow$262,000.000 during Mr. Cleveland's term, or that It is pressed to liquidate foreign indebt­ edness previously existing, os'it was when stocks and bonds came here from Europe in large quantity after Mr. ‘Cleveland's election,' or that-domestic industries hsve made such progress fust they are now able, with profit to tpakers and fair wages to labor, to send steel rails and other products abroad to markets which foreigners formerly controlled. It does not require much intelligence to determine whether'the export movement of pig. iron, rails, plates, machinery and other products for which the country was once wholly dependent upon foreign sup­ plies has materially swelled the balance due to this country from others witbin the last year.Ivor can it be denied that this result of steady or long-continued defense and development of home industries is but- the ripened fruit, the checking of foreign importation being the bud. It is by none usmimed that all protective duties entirely succeed in their object. But the fact that many have succeeded cannot be denied, in the presence, of current events, except by one who has unusual indifference to truth. Other cao*es are. ail the time in­ fluencing foreign trade, quite apart from the oyyation of protective duties. That is notmsputed by any intelligent {irotectionist, nor does he think it nec­ essary. unless writing for children, atways to repeat in connection with every statement of the effect of protective du­ ties the obvious truth that other cause* are at the same time constantly at work to increase or deereoae exports or imports. Such other causes, not de­ pending upon the national policy as to tariff, are necessarily assumed in all diaeusrion. They do not in the least alter the plain fact that a duty which checks foreign imports and foster* do­ mestic production of tinplates, for in­ stance, tends to lessen the which the nation has to pay to foreign­ ers for their work, or the other fact that completely successful establish­ ment of industries by protection does send millioua’ worth of iron, atari, ma­ chinery, rails and other products into SXf® ad4in« to the amount {^hLr “tions pay thia for itB *ork.—y.

President Favors Forcible Intervention and Makes a Powerful Presentation of Facts. Fort THE SAKE OF HUMANITY ANO OUR OWN INTERESTS. THE PRES­ the war we sink tbe whole Yankee fleet •nd even bombard with success two or three Yankee ports. Will It all end there? Uh, no. Tbe Americans will not stand It, and tbe nation that from 1861 to 1885 pat in arms more than 2,000,000 soldiers, Tais* ed powerful Beets, epeut S4,000.000.000. snd lost nearly tbe »me amount, will make such efforts then that in spite of all my re­ spect for Spanish patriotism, I cannot be­ lieve that Spain will be able to stand against It M MIf there are those who believe to inter-' ventlon by European powers in favor of Spain, I do net. . A fight to the death it will not be. either, because tbe Americans cannot conquer us with so many miles of ocean between the two countries. We may lose our coloof les, but Spain will remain. Probably that 1OM, though Immediately disastrous, would be a benefit to our sons. “Now, can any man of sense believe we can do to tbe Uoited States what the Americans cannot do to us? Is it not a nonsensical dream to think of a conquest of American territory? I am not doubting the courage of tbe Spaniards, but I believe that all nations of Europe together are not strong enough to sever a foot of land from the United States. “In brief, the United' States will not come to conquer us here, neither shall we go to conquer them there. The whole war will be reduced to this: The Yankees will provide the insurgents with arms, amtnunitlon, blockade the ports of Cuba, and starve to death our army there, that subslst.s now exclusively oo imported food. “What will be tbe role of our navy? To break the blockade in order to provision our aripy and In order to get coal for itself: because 1 suppose that our ships will not come back to coal in Spain. “That will be all. At the start tbe Yankees may destroy our whole navy er we may des'roy theirs, but in tbe tong run they will get the advantage. All other things will be mere episodes nf the war. The privateers on either side wilt amount to nothing In deciding where victory shall rest”—New York Sun, A USEFUL UH ENDED HON.

Nature’s secret wayaand pleasant paths are found best by leading tbe children to look “from Nature up to Nature’s God.” In every district, where there la a bar­ ren. desolate spot of ground called the -school yard," Arbor Day ahould be ob­ served In tbe planting of trees and shrubs and in teaching pupils to care for them and tbe school grounds should be amde presentable by tbe clearlog away of any accumulated rubbish. Tbe forenoon session, at least a part of It, can be devoted to tbe beautifying sod enriching of tbe school grounds, and a portion of tbe afternoon session to appro­ priate exercises. On this day of tree and shrub planting, let every teacher in the county strive to Inculcate a spirit of un­ selfishness that will live In the hearts of tbe children through tbe coming years. Hein the children to realize that the trees In whose grateful shade we rejoice to-day were planted by hands now long ago returned to dust, and so we on this day will plant trees that shall in time shelter those unknown to us. ‘•He wbo plants a tree, plants love. Tents of coolness spreading out above Wayfarers he may not live to see.” Special Arbor Day programs were sent to the various schools throughout the county In 1897, and again this spring we have sent tbe later ••Special Day Pro­ grams” published by the Department to all tbe schools. If for any reason your copy of the ’•Special Day Programs” has not reached you. send to this office for a copy. From tbe manuals, together with the splendid material In our educational jour­ nals. teachers can easily find sufficient ap­ propriate material for afternoon exercises. We expect that every teacher will plan for some observance of Arbor Day—both the planting of trees, where there is not suffi­ cient shade, and appropriate afternoon ex­ ercises—and may your good work on this day. and the good and beautiful thoughts inspired by the planting of trees and the naming of the,m, take root and grow in tbe lives of your pupils.

The changee which Nature decrees shall take place each spring are so severe that a breakdown is almost sure to oome. It is wise that all possible assistance be given during this period, aa upon this purifying process depends the health for the entire summer. Everybody just now should take a thorough course of Swift’s Specific SS.S.%.Blood which thoroughly cleanses the blood of all the accumulated im­ purities, tones up and strengthens the entire system, and aids Nature in renovating and renewing the body co as to render it healthy and strong. Those who purify their blood with S. S. S. at this season are well fortified against the many forme of disease so prevalent dur­ ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the system that is thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist disease all summer. _ No other remedy on the market ia equal to Swift’s Specific as a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem­ edy aud is guaranteed absolutely free from potash, mercury and all other minerals. It cleanses, puri­ fies, bnilds up and strengthens. Insist ou S. S. S., for there is noth­ ing half as good. 111 3 J-’ll Tone Up With Ws Specific NOTICK FOR HKARING CLAIMS.

F Gnbuu Clalai t< Waablngton, April 11.—Tbe Spanlab government, through Its minister at Washington, Senor Polo y Bernabe Sunday night delivered an important official document io the state depart­ ment stating that the armistice which the queen regent of Spain had com­ manded Gen. BUnco to proclaim was without conditiozis; that her majesty’s government had granted liberal inatitutiona to the island of Cuba which the coming Cuban parliament would de­ velop; recalling tbe condolence and sympalhy expressed by the queen re­ gent and her government, on the dis­ aster of the Maine and the horror this disaster had occasioned in Spanish hearts, and appealing to the courtesy and sense of justice of the United States government to enlighten public opinion upon the attitude of Spain. The note also repeats the offer of the Spanish government to submit the Maine ques­ tion to experts de«ignated by the mari­ time powers of the world; During Senor Polo’s call at the at ate department he notified the authorities that word had come from Havana that Gen. Blanco had been prompt in ex­ ecuting the orders of the queen re­ gent, and that the proclamtion of ar­ mistice had been duly promulgated. The first effect of this will be to bring about a complete cessation of all Span­ ish hostilities throughout the island. The Spanish troops will for the time being go into garrison. Their future disposition has not even been consid­ ered, for much depends upon the dura­ tion of the armistice and the course of the insurgenu. If the insurgents con­ tinue their fighting, and make attacks upon the Spanish troops, the situation will become complicated, for it is hardly believed that the Spanish forces will lay down their arms for any length iff time if they continue to be under fire from the insurgents. Rejection la Vrfed. The attitude of the insurgent advisers nt Washington is that of rejecting the armistice. Senor Quesada, of the junta, declared Sunday that the armistice was simply a Spanish trick, designed to cre­ ate the impression that the insurgents were unreasonable. From his stand­ point, nothing short of independence will satisfy the Cubans. It remains to be seen how far Gen. Gamez and the in­ surgents in the field entertain this view. Washington, April 11.—At the close of the second cabinet meeting Sunday night it was announced that the presi­ dent’s message undoubtedly would go to congress at noon to-day.

After the meeting one member of the cabinet said that the Spanish note had not altered either the message or the situation. “It is merely." said he. “what Spain has been asking for all along—more time.

Mr. Trunk stated that that CapL Dickerson’s crave was properly cared for, bat that the local authorities bad recently removed the feuoe about the lot and were preparing to level the ground. He wanted authority from toe family of CapL Dickerson to look after their Inter* esta In the matter. Col.

FLORA BEADLE RENKE8. to the Condition of the School At the commencement of the spring term of school wa would call the atten­ tion of teachers and officers to the con­ dition of the school premises in general. A careful consideration of the real needs of the school should be the first dwty of the school officer. Every officer should fee! his personal responsibility with reference to the condition of school property. Au Important sanitary condi­ tion in any school is tee cleanliness of the building, and school boards should see to it that the school rooms are cleaned the floors mopped, windows washed, walls and desks cleaned, stove blackened, etc. And when onee the room is put Id good condition it is the dut> of eecry teacher to see that is it kept Inwood condition. It is the farther doty of every teacher that the school room is made as attractive as as possible. Simple, Inexpensive, dec­ orations do much toward improving the school room, and these are within reach of every teacher. Be mfhtvihcd to catch yottr*clf troriK'nj -in « dirty, barren, cheerless ectaxrt room. The school grounds should also receive the attention of school officers and teach­ ers. Wood should be piled In good order, and the rubbish raked Into heaps and burned: and -under no circumstances should there be • heap of ashes In toe front yard. We would add here a word with refer­ ence to the outtoeildings. These neces­ sary appliances are still neglected by many school officers and teachers,—shamefully neglected in some districts. The out­ buildings should be cleaned and repaired, where repairing to necessary, at the time of the cleaning of the school house, and the teachers sboold Inspect them frequent­ ly enough to know that they are kept in good condition, in some of our school districts the outbuildings are a disgrace tp any civilized community and would not be tolerated on private premises for a* day. Neither need they be tolerated on the school premises. Officers need no vote of the district In arder tout they may repair school property. See that the proper repa Irs and cleaning are attended to as they should be and draw aa order on the as­ sessor for the expense. I am aware that Income few of our sehool districts, teach­ ers are more or less to blame for toe con­ dition of things, and hope that school boards will bold tin school reasonable extent for property. WAS FOUND DEAD ON FLOOD WOOD ABOUT TWO MILES EAST OF THIS CITY. Apoplexy. Early last Saturday morning at about 8:30 Chas. Emerlek who was In search of bls missing father, Curtis Emerick, found his dead body on some flood, wood on the Eastern portion of Munger island. His body was entirely out of water with the exception of the left side of his head which was submerged. Mr. Emerick wbo lives on toe State road about one mile east of here accompa­ nied by his wife came to the elty Friday morning with a team and wagon. They bad some farm pruducc to sell and when that was disposed of Mrs. Emerick thought she would visit with her eon’s family in toe second ward. Mr. Emerick drove on east to the river after telling bls wife be was going to get a mess of fish and that be would be back ready to go home by 4 o’cldck at the latest He wab a great hand to fish and was very fond of spearing fish. On many occasions be had started from his htrtne, to the river, early in the morning with a spear or fishpole and would be gone a greater portion of the day, fishing hours at a time, along toe bank and around the edge of Munger’s Island, which Iles at the rear of Philip Pratt’s farm. The flood wood lying on the east side of the is­ land affords an excellent place for one to stand and watch for fish in the clear water beneath. In this manner it is supposed Mr. Emerick came to his death. Mr. Emerick drove near the river, hitch­ ed his team near where they were found, waded to the _ Island and stood on the flood wood watching tor fish when he was suddenly taken with a stroke of apo­ plexy or became dizzy and fell headlong into the water. As be did not return in the evening his wife and son became somewhat alarmed. Ar midnight, after waiting and watching for eight long hours and being filled with anxiety as ouly a wife and son can. Chas. Emerick started out in search of his miss­ ing father. When he reached the Pratt farm he was joined lu the search by Mr, Pratt. . They groped about during the remain­ ing hours of the night wittout getting aoy clue whatever to tbe missing man. At about G o'clock, - while looking around the edge of the island thinking that perhaps be might have been drowned and washed upon tlw shore, they saw the form of a man lying ou the east side of the island. They hurried to the snot and found the dead body of Mr. Emerick lying partly on his left side, with his face partly in the water and with the remainder of the body on the flood wood. The body after being examin­ ed by a coroners jury was taken to the Emerick residence. East of the city. At au adjourned session of the coroner's jury a verdict of death by brain trouble and apoplexy was rendered. The team was found Saturday morning soon after finding the body. They had broken loose but in wandering around had come in con­ tact with a tree and were held fast About six years ago Mr. Emerick fell from a load of wood jarring his bead and body very severely. Since that time he has bad sick head aches about once every* two weeke and lasting from two te three days in length. He complained during these sick headaches of being very dizzy. Mr. Emerick and family came here about 15 years ago from Ypsilanti and the remains were taken there for inter­ menu The funeral was held Monday afternoon at three o'clock.

A dispatch from Laporte, Indiana, states tbat Henry ErnsL of Nuncia, a small town near Grand Rapids, Mich., has taken steps to have an official Investigation of tbe cause of tbe death of Carrie Clifton of that place, wbo disappeared and who died in a house of Ill-repute In Marlon county, In­ diana. i he coroner's inquest determined suicide as tbe cause of death, but Ernst believes she was tbe victim ot foul play, and is now demanding a rigid investiga­ tion, which will probably in made. The girl was alleged to have taken poison dur­ ing a spell of melancholy, caused by the wayward life she Lived. / Capt. John P. Fortier, for several years night watchman at the city hall, Grand Rapids, died Sunday after a brief illness. He served throughout the war in the Fifth Michigan Infantry, enlisting as a private and coming out a captain. Among his possessions he had three badges which he valued beyond price. One was a badge presented to tbe soldiers wbo attended President Lincoln’s thanksgiving recep­ tion in 1864, another, the Phil Kearney badge presented to those who distin­ guished themselves at the battle of Wil­ liamsburg. and the third the-FIfth Infan­ try badge given as a souvenir' of the de­ fense against Picldtt at Gettysburg. He was born in Detroit and his widow and one son survive him. His grandfather was killed In tbe war of 1812 and his father In the Mexican war. On a sunny slope, with a southern ex­ posure, in Comstock township, Kalamazoo county, there lately existed a hollow ash slub some fifteen feet In height with au iuside diameter of perhaps eighteen inches. During the past five years, first one and then another Individual has reported find­ ing. at different times, potatoes In various quantities about this stub. But It is very recently that an explanation has been found. The Increasing scarcity of fuel led tbe owner of tbe land on which It stood to attack tbe stub one day last week and a few blows of tbe ax developed tbe facts that it was not oely hollow, but full, to its utmost capacity, of potatoes. This curi­ ous circumstance led to Investigation, when It was ascertained that the Interior hollow extended into the ground to a depth of about three feet. By finding Its way into this hollow, and renewing itself meh year, at length it tilled tbe entire cavity of the tree with tubers. After becoming thus filled tbe annual product created an over­ flow which frequently amounted to a bush­ el, and which, being forced from the top of tbe stub, were scattered about Its base and there discovered by various parties as above stated. Of the fifteen bushels taken from the stub there were very few either frosted or decayed. Col. W. T.

"With animus by Spain, so plainly ap­ parent that no one can ever'plausibly deny .V lt *’ toerely one reason for the conclusion to which the investigating mind must come In considering the entire subject of the relations of tire United States with that government. It Is the opinion of your comaiittee that the de­ struction of the- Maine was compassed cither by the official act of the Spanish authorities or was made possible by a negligence on their part, so willing and so gross as to be equivalent In culpability to positive criminal action.**"When property and life are destroyed by an act which the exercise of due dili­ gence by the person whose duty it Is to use It could have prevented the happening of stichan event l« sufficient proof that that diligence was not employed.” "The time of the explosion," says the report, "must have been calculated foi the moment when the Maine should swing within the destructive radius of the mine. Concluding this portion of Its presenta­ tion. the committee says: •The duplicity perfidy and cruelty of tho Spanish character, as they always have been, are demonstrated stlil to continue by , their manifestations during the present 1 war In Cuba. All these circumstances con­ sidered cumulatively^ warrant the conclu­ sion that the destruction of tbe Maine waa compassed either by the official act nt the Snenian authorities (and the ascer­ tainment of tho particular person Is not material) or was made possible by a negli­ gence on their part so willing and gross aa to be equivalent In culpability to posi­ tive criminal action." .

Should Pres­ ident McKinley Indorse either the ide* of recognition of Cuba or of armed interven­ tion, no Spanish government could toler­ ate either of these courses without risk­ ing the gravest consequences In Bpalp. The votes of the senate and the house of repre­ sentatives are considered likely to para­ lyse both the mediation of the pope and the friendly Interference of the European powers In the Interests of peace, because the resolutions passed, if sanctioned by the president, would set aside all Intermediate conciliatory solutions, like autonomy on Canadian lines, which the present Spanish government would have agreed to. •The unseemly precipitation of the Amer­ ican parliament leads Spain to believe that speh an aggressive and provoking policy simply aims at making a ruah Into a con­ flict before the results of the suspension of hostilities with tho Insurgentscan really be appreciated and before the Cuban co­ lonial government can have time to par­ ley with the Insurgent chiefs and to pave the way for their submission, even at the price of considerable concessions. Indeed, both the colonial and Imperial governments were very confident Khat the negotiations already opened In (Tuba between the au­ tonomists and the separatists would have led to a prompt and satisfactory under­ standing. which would have defeated en­ tirely the unscrupulous Interference of the United States.

Galveston. Texas, April 28.—The British steamer Aalouu. Captain P. H. Barnett, arrived this morning from Las Palmas. Grand Canary, om of the Canary Island group. Captain Barnett arrived at Las Palmas, March 31, two days after the Spanish tor­ pedo flotilla left that port. He was re­ liably Informed that the machinery of the several torpedo boats and torpedo boat des­ troyers was purposely, disabled In pursu­ ance of a plot by the engineers. They did not relish the trjp across the ocean In tor­ pedo boats, and, finding the Spanish gov­ ernment determined to make them go, as a last resort crippled the machineryNone of the engineers were allowed to repair It, the work being done by a local machine shop at Los Palmas. Captain Barnett says the torpedo flotilla did not want to encounter a United States fleet If it could be avoided. They will likely keep out of the track of our vessels and may content themselves with picking up an occasional prize. The torpedo flo­ tilla left Les Palmas, March 29 and their destination was unknown. SCHOOL QOLUMN. BY COUNTY BCHOOL >COM. >M«B^ FLORA BEADLEtRENKES. E.

It will be perceived therefrom that tbe government of Spain, having cognizance of tbe Joint resolution of the United States War with Spain is now on. and each day Ake latest news Is anxiously awaited. When tbe war will end no living being <ean telL What possible complications nay ensue no one can predict. If some of tthe European countries should take tbe ipart or Spain, that now express sympathy ■with the Madrid government, and tbe cgreat powers of the earth should become ■aBvolved. tbe most disastrous war In the ^history of the world would be fought, and 4he map of tbe world would be greatly changed. While such a thing is not ex­ pec tod, yet It is by no means impossible. JFor the first time in tbe history of our ^government England has manifested friendship for tbe United States and In case of the Interference of other countries User assistance would "be most valuable. Siow that actual hostilities have coxu•sweaced, the wisdom of President McKin­ ley in trying to avert war is acknowl­ edged. Though he was roundly criticised for his conservatism, yet those wbo. In a moment of anger, were foremost in criti­ cising him, are now deploring tbe horrors <oC war. Many have said that “war is a Ching of the past." The suddenness with wvhlch the war cloud enveloped our coun•try shows the uncertanity of human =affairs. Thurogbjhe hustling abilities of 'the Washington government, our country is prepared as It never was before for war, -twit there Is no one but what wishes that *we were still better prepared. “In time -of peace, prepare for war,” In view of our ■■present condition, presents a great many ^truths. If tbe contest is waged solely be­ tween Spain and tbe United Slates It may last three months, or three years. .

I Tbe position of Spain being thus made known and the demands of the United States being denied, with a complete rupture of Intercourse by the act of Spain, I have been constrained in the exercise of tbe powers and authority conferred upon me by tbe joint resolution aforesaid, to proclaim under date of April 22,1898, a blockade of cer­ tain ports of the north coast of Cuba, lying between Cardenas and Babia Honda and of the port of Cienfuegos on tbe south coast of Cuba: and further. In exercise of my con­ stitutional powers and using tbe authority conferred upon me by the act of congress, approved April 22, 1898. to issue my proclamation, dated April 23, 1898, calling for volunteers In order to carry into effect tbe said resolution of April 20, 1898. Copies of these proclamations are hereunto appended. In view of tbe measures so taken, and with a view to tbe adoption of such other measures as may be necessary to enable me to carry Out the expressed will of the Con­ gress of tbe United States, In tbe premises, I now recommend to vour bonorable'body the adoption of a joint resolution DECLARING THAT A STATE OF WAR EXlgTING BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN, and 1 urge speedy action thereon to tbe end that tbe definition of tbe Interna­ tional status of the United States as a belligerent power may be made known and the assertion of all Its rights and the maintenance of all Its duties in tbe conduct of-a pub­ lic war may be assured. £ William McKinley, Executive Mansion, Washington, April 25,1898.

There was'reason fur this because the pric* of sheep fell as low a» 11.00 per head and no demand; and tbe price of wool declined to 7 or 8 cents per pound. Soon after the republican party came In power the Dingley bill wa* passed, wool was taken from tbe free list and protected by a tariff.

The administration in a public statement announced that it regarded the action of the Spanish gov­ ernment as rendering unnecessary fur­ ther diplomatic action on the part qf the United States, and further stated that it regarded the course adopted by Spain as one placing upon that coun­ try the responsibility for the breach of friendly relations.

Key West, Fla., April 25.—According to dispatch boats which have just reached this port from the United States fleet the port of Havana is block­ aded, but otherwise the situation is un­ changed. Contrary to reports previous­ ly received these boats say that not a shot has yet been fired by either side. On Board'the Flagship New York, off Havana, April 25.—The batteries at Havana fired ten shots at the fleet on Friday night. No reply was made. During the early morning Sunday the Morro Castle batteries again opened fire on the fleet, but without the slightest effect. There have been no casualties among our forces up to this hour and not a single shot has been fired against the batteries. Washington, April 25.—Rear Admiral Sampson’s orders respecting the reduc­ tion of Havana contemplate no im­ mediate bombardment of that city. The guns Which comprise the butteries pro­ tecting the city may bhoot as much as they please at the ships horering.at the entrance of the harbor, but there will be no return fire at present. It is by means of the blockade now in progress that, the department proposes to pave the way toward procuring the capitula­ tion of Havana. How long the block­ ade will be maintained and when the combined land and naval forces will make their attack upon the city is a matter of pure speculation at this time. London, April 25.—The United States cruiser Topeka Is safe. It was not the cruiser which collided with tbe Alba­ tross Tuesday evening after leaving Falmouth.

The cruiser De­ troit seized the Spanish liner Catalina, which is valued nt $500,000, and the war­ ship Helena overtook and captured the Spanish steamer Miguel Jover 100 miles out of Havana, and, in charge of a print* crew, she rbacKed this port. Her value is placed nt $384,000. New York, April 25.—A letter from Gen. Gomez says he will be in front of Havana before April 29 with 30,000 men. Washington, April 25.—Members of the diplomatic corps say that no ques­ tion can be raised as to the right of the United State* to declare a blockade. This being conceded, foreign powers will accept it as binding. In anticipation of the declaration of war tbe American fleet at Hong-Kong has been ordered lo leave that port and start for the Philippines. Immediately after congress alts dispatches will be sent to Hong-Kong ordering the fleet to seize the Philippine islands without delay and capture or destroy all Span­ ish ships there. The resolution of in? tervention passed "by congress did not justify a hostile movement against the faraway Philippine islands, nor did it justify either the seizure or blockade of Puerto Rico. Both of these naval movements will be entered upon as part of the general war against Spain. London, April 21.—Spurgeon’s tabernacls was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.

RESERVES THE RIGHT OF PRIVATEERIU All Treaties with the tillan Porta la Thirty Da|»-Fnll Text of th* Proclamation. Madrid, April 25.—The Spanish gov­ ernment has formally recognized the state of war that exists between Spala and the United States. A royal decree was gazetted here Sunday announcing that diplomatic relations between tho two nations had been broken off and » state of war begun. The deoxve is as follows: "Diplomatic relations are broken off be­ tween Spain and the United Stales, anf the state of war having begun between th< two countries, numerous questions of Inter national law arise which must be pro clsely defined chiefly because tha tnjustlci and provocation come from our adver­ saries, and It is they who. by their de­ testable conduct, have caused thbi grav« conflict. ' “We have observed with strictsot fidelity the principles of International law and have shown the most scrupulous respect for morality and the right of govsrr.ment. piere Is an-oplnlon that the fact that we have not gtlhered to the declaration of Paris does not exempt us from ths duty of respecting the principles therein enunci­ ated., The principle Spain unquestionably refused to admit then was the abai'don of privateering. The government nt»-i con­ siders it most Indispensable lo makt abso­ lute reserve on this point In order tc main­ tain our liberty of action and unoontested right to have recourse to privateering when we consider It expedient, first by or­ ganising Immediately a force of cruisers auxiliary to the navy, which will be com­ posed of vessels of our mercantile marine and with equal distinction In the work of our navy." Fdflowlng Is a summary of the more Im­ portant of the five clauses outlining the rules Spain will observe during the war: "Clause 1. The state of war existing be­ tween Spain and the United States annuls the treaty of peace and amity of October S7. 1755, and the protocol of January 12. 1877, and all other agreements, treaties or conventions In force between the two coun­ tries. "Clause 2. From the publication of these presents 30 days are granted to all ships of the United States anchored in our har­ bors to take their departure free of hin­ drance. "Clause 3. Notwithstanding that Spain has not adhered to the declaration of Paris, the government, respecting the principles of the law of nations, proposes, to observe^' and hereby orders to be observed, the fol­ lowing regulations of maritime law: "L Neutral flags cover the enemy’s mer­ chandise except contraband of war. "2. Neutral merchandise, except contra­ band of war. Is not selxxble under the ene­ my's flag. "3. A blockade to be obligatory must be effective—viz.: It must be maintained with sufficient force to prevent access to the, enemy’s littoral. "4. The Spanish government, upholding Its right to grant letters of marque, will at present confine Itself to organizing, with the vessels of the mercantile marine, a force of auxiliary cruisers which will co­ operate with the navy according to the needs of the campaign and will be under naval control. At In order to capture the enemy's ships and confiscate the enemy's merchandise and contraband of war. under whatever form, the auxiliary cruisers will exercise the right of search on the high seas and in the waters under the enemy's jurisdiction. In accordance with International law and the regulations which will be published. "6. Defines what Is Included in contra­ band of war. naming weapons, ammuni­ tion. equipments^ engines, and.

London, May 3—Rear Admiral Dewey, according te a reported dispatch from Madrid, gave Captain General Agusti twenty-four boura to comply with tbe ulti­ matum, which demanded all war-like stores and tbe entire stock of coal In charge of the government officials. The ultimatum asserted tbat no money levy would be made upon Manilla. Tbe dispatch says it is believed In Mad­ rid tbat tbe government has already cabled Captain General Agusti authority to com­ ply with tbe demand, do other course be­ ing open. Grave events may follow pub­ lic knowledge of this compliance. London, May 2.—Tbe Dally Mall has a dispatch from Hong Kong dated Monday, saying Dewey’s fleet is off Corregldor Island, hotly engaged with forts there. Electric experiments show cable cut at or near Manilla. •New York. May 2.—A Hong Kong dis­ patch says: “The bombardment of Manila has begun. The Inhabitants are fleeing to tbe country. Tbe operators tn tbe cable station in tbe midst of the forts have fled to save their lives.” London, May 2.—The British governor of tbe Straits Settlement, Lieutenant Colonel Sir C. B H. Mitchell, has sent a cable dispatch to the colonial office here saying the United Stales fleet “annihi­ lated” tbe Spanish fleet in a two hours engagement The dispatch adds tbat Commodore Dewey last night demanded tbe surrender of all the torpedoes and guns at Manila and the control of the cables under pain of bombardment. General Agusti. tbe Spanish governor general, refused to sur­ render them, and II is supposed tbe bom­ bardment of Manila is now proceeding. London, Mav 3 —Special dispatch from Madrid says Dewey gave Governor Gen­ eral Agusti 24 hours to comply with his ultimatum, demanding all stores and coal. It is believed the governor has cabled Agusti to comply. Will Comply to Ultimatum. Paris, May 2. A dispatch from Madrid to tbe Temps says that no Spanish war­ ship surrendered, and the majority of tbe crews perished. T*o Spanish commandera were killed while resisting to the last moment. The Spanish losses are esti­ mated to be 400 men killed. Including many natives. The American squadron attacked furi­ ously both tbe Spanish squadron and Cavite, where it caused great damage. Commenting editorially on tbe battle, the Temps says: “The United States put into tbe balance a too crushing superior­ ity of resources and forces to leave a doubt as to tbe result” Instructions of McKinley. Washington, May 2.—It can be stated on authority tbat tbe president's instruc­ tions to Commodore Dewey do not in­ volve specifically bombardment of tbe city of Manila, but the Commodore was instructed to do whatever was necessary within the limits of civilized warfare to take possession of tbe Island, and It a bombardment is necessary to this end one will take place. It is expected, however, that our Asiatic squadron will not bombard tbe dty of Manila unless It harbors troops who are operating offensively against ns. FOR GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT IS ON FOOT TO .

Yet It must'excite general derision when the gentlemen who have posed so long as “friends of the poor man” and “foes of the corrupt money power” are heard as advocates of rev­ enue from taxes on tea and coffee, and from increased duties on sugar, all of which are necessaries of civilixed life, in tory is described as “the poor man.” or “one of the plain, common people,” pays for his clothes, his house rent, his gro­ ceries and for all his necessaries, com­ forts, and luxuries, in spot cash, and without the intervention of a bank, and he is free from any burden of the new revenue bill. But “the money power,” which does its trading mainly by paper, will pay a tax on every check it draw*. The hated “bondholder” also , comes in for his share of the increased 1 burden of war; brokers and speculators of all sorts will pay tax on every reglstration or transfer of stocks and bonds, J and upon every memorandum of agree­ ment to buy or sell. All these things are burdens laid on what Mr. Bryan calls “the money power,” and they are bur­ dens from which those whom he calls “the plain, common people” will be al­ most wholly exempt. The tax of one to five dollars on all tickets for travel from the United States to a foreign port is one that in the case of steerage tickets is likely to be borne by the steamship companies, and in^the case of first-class passen­ gers will fall on shoulders well able to bear it. The tax on deeds of conveyance will fall in almost every instance on the seller, and it will be rare that the seller of property valued at $20,000 will suf­ fer real hardship by contributing $20 to the government. With hardly an item quotable by way of exception to the rule, the proposed war revenue lays new and 4>ot very onerous burdens upon strong shoulders and spares the sinews of the weak. Nevertheless, democratic opposition may be expected. It will, however, be more farcical titan logical.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

AYER’S Sarsaparilla Best ” is an easy boast. But there’s no best without a test. You expect something extra of best; something extra1 in bread from best best cloth; something extra in flour; something extra in ’ wear from ' cures from best medicines. It’s that something extra in Ayer’s Sarsa­ parilla that makes Ayer’s the best That something dxtra is quality. Remember it’s quality that cures, not quantity. Geo. C. Smith *• • •• of- the • People’s Drug Store, Seymour, Conn., says: “I have sold your goods for twenty-five years and when a customer asks me for I say: ‘If you will take my opinion, use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; I will guar­ antee that you will receive more benefit by using one or two bottles of Ayer's than you would by using half a dozen bottles of some other kind.' When they take it, I never hear any complaint.” Ayer’s Sarsapailla cures all diseases that have their origin in impure blood: sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions, pimples, eczema, tetter, scrofula, etc. It cures cheaply, it cures quickly, and it cures to stay. That’s why it’s best “ In our estimation, as regards Sarsaparilla, Ayer’s heard it spoken of in other than the very highest terms.' W. E. TERRILL & CO, Pharmacists, 9 State Street.

Dewey Heard From by the American shells that be could not keep her afloat be.nailed her colors to the mast aud she sank wttb ail hands, fight­ ing io tbe last. Her boll was completely riddled and her upper deck had been swept clean by the awful fire oi tbe American guns, bnt tbe Spaniards, though tbelr vessels were sinking beneath them, continued working the guns on her lower deck until she sank beneath tbe water. During the engagement a Spanish tor­ pedo boat crept along tbe shore and round the offing in tbe attempt to attack tbe American store ships, but she was prompt­ ly discovered, was driven ashore and was actually shot to pieces. The Mlndaiio bad in tbe meanwhile been run ashore to save her from sinking and tbe Spantot) small craft bad sought shel­ ter from the steel storm behind tbe break­ water. Second Engagement. The battle, which was started about 6:30 a. m.. and adjourned at 8:30 a. m.. was resumed about noon, when Acting Admiral Dewey started to put tbe finishing touches on his glorious work. There was not much fight left in the Spaniards by that time, and at 2 a. m. tbe Petrel and Concord bad shot the Cavite batteries into silence, leaving them heaps of ruins and floating the white flag. Tbe Spanish gunboats were then scuttled, the arsenal was on fire aod tbe explosion of a Span­ ish magazine caused further mortality among (be defenders of Spain on shore. On the water tbe burning, sunken or destroyed Spanish vessels could be seen, white only tbe cruiser Baltimore had suf­ fered In any way from the fire of the enemy. A shot which struck her exploded some ammunition near one of her guns and slightly injured half a dozen of her crew. Several shots pawed dangerously close to Acting Admiral Dewey, but little or no damage was done on board tbe flag­ ship. On tbe other hand, about 150 men are said to have been killed on board tbe Spanish ship, which was totally de­ stroyed. Admiral Montejo, the Spanish commander, transferred his flag to the Isla de Cubk when bls ship caught fire, but later was destroyed also In due course of time. The Retna Christina lost her captain, a lieutenant, her chaplain and a midshipman by one shot which struck her bridge. About 100 men were killed and 60 wounded on board tbe Castilla. Indeed, some estimates place the number of Span­ ish wounded during the engagement at over a thousand men. Olympia Strack Five Tiiaea. The Olympia a as struck five times about her upper works and a whale boat of the Raleigh was smashed. Although tbe Krnpp guns on the Esplande of Manila were fired continuously during tbe engagement. Acting Admiral Dewey did not reply to them, and the battery afterwards hoisted tbe white flag In token of surrender. Tbe terms of the capitula­ tion were still unsettled when tbe Mc­ Culloch left Manila, and It was said' Act­ ing Admiral Dewey feared rioting upon the part of the Insurgents if he attempted a bombardment ot tbe remaining fortifi­ cations at Manila. Tbe forts at the entrance of the bay were dismantled on Wednesday, after they capitulated. It Is said tbe American admiral ordered tbe cable to be cut be­ cause the Spaniards refused to permit him to use It pending tbe complete surrender of tbe city. It Is said that tbe Spanish ships did not get under steam until after tbe alarm was given. The Spanish commander in­ formed tbe governor general that It was advisable to surrender In the interests of humanity, as It was Impossible to realet successfully, but that he and his men were willing enough to fight and die. Even when the Spanish flagship was shot half away, her commander, though wounded, refused to leave tbe bridge till the ship was burning and sinking, her stern shattered by a cannon ball and her steam pipes borated. As yet there are no farther details of the fighting. After It was over Acting Admiral Dewey sent an ultimatum to the city battery ordering It to cease firing or he would bombard.

Perbap* a faint conception of the enormous bulk Indicated by these figure* may be had from tbe reflection that tbe umbra of a single huge rao•pot, observed in January, 1B®7, was extensire enough to entertain 16 eartba grouped in a solid square. It is bewil­ dering to be*a»sured that it would take 1300,000 earths to equal the sun In vol­ ume. If the interior of that truly gi­ gantic globe were hollow, and the earth were placed at Itn center, with tbe moon revolving about it at its usual mean dis­ tance of nearly J40.000 miles, there would still exist a vacuity between the moon and tbe Inclosing vhell of tbe sun of nearly 300.000 miles. This is perhaps the most graphic and impressive illus­ tration possible of the sun’s colossal bulk. We must note, however, that the density of tbe run Is only about onequarter that of the earth, so that it would “weigh" only" *• much a« 350.000 earths. In very "round" numbers the sun’s weight may be stated at two oc­ tillions of tons, which, if expressed in figures, would require almost as many ciphers as a newspaper line can accom­ modate. A very comprehensive fflnstration of the pygmean dimensions of the earth as compared with the sua is to repre­ sent the latter by a globe two. feet in diameter and the earth by a dainty pea. And yet the Little pea weighs more than six quintillion tona. As to the aolar sur­ face. it ia some 12.000 times that of our planet- Yet tbe bud, when compared with its true peer*, the stars, is not only of extraordinary size, but in all prob­ ability is only to be ranked among the medium self-luminous bodies which sparkle In "heaven’s ebon vault."

Tbe “shining sheH." aa Miss Clerke term* It, »een through a piece of wellrmoked, glass, .is termed the “photo­ sphere." We thus perceive Its factual di­ ameter. although it seems much smaller than our conception of it. because the fierce glare has been negatived by the shade glass. If we concede that theaun is gaseous, the photosphere may be re­ garded as a sort of skin, or crust, of in­ candescent clouds, through which arc constantly breaking the geyser-like up; rushes of metallic vapors, which expend their energies aa far above the sun. sometimes, as the moon Is distant from the earth.

Tattooing by electricity is much prac­ ticed now afloat and ashore. It ia said to have originated with a young sailor named Clarence Smith eight or ten years ago. Previous to enlisting in the navy he got a smattering of electrical knowledge in Newark, where he lived and where he is now employed as a lineman. One of the first things he did on joining his ship was to persuade a elever tattoo artist aboard to begin dec­ orating him. It occurred to him then that the operation waa both alow and painful, but he did net think of any improvement upon the process until one day, when on shore leave in thia elty, he “w • man working with an Edison electric pen In a show window. Smith watched the work intently, and concluded that with alight modifica­ tions the pen could be made to do rapid and almost painlers work on the human sldn. Xt was a matter of impulse with him to buy one of the pena together with the battery, and take it aboard the ship. Then he shortened the stroke, al­ tered the needle, and tried it upon his arm. was. a (great success, and he quickly deployed it"to I<ddy Sb.iI? nan. on, of the eleven,) tattoo ertiiti In the nery, who now ha> thr« electric pc n, aboard the San Traneiaco.

Last week’s de­ cision to keep the volunteer army in great camps at home to drill and harden them for the campaign of invasion next fall will probably be. set aside, nnd In­ stead the new regiments furnished by the states may be hnhrled toward Cuba within a week.

The unexpected always hap­ pens with a home .talent show, and an j .net mountain village ia not proof against tjas long accepted stage fact. We strangers from the unregencrate east who were there in the mountains for our healths’ sake, felt assured, therefore, of an experience before the night should be over. It was “The Mikado’’ which was to be presented, tattered and torn by its transit from first-class theaters in the east to the town hall of Teton city. We’ had heard Nankl-Poo as he had sung about being a thing of ahreds and patches, and we had heard Ko-Ko’s an^ nouncement of his theories and ideas, and were getting along fairly well In our listening when the kissing song was reached. Then Red Pete Barker, who wm singing Nanki Poo. advanced to the footlights. “Ladies and gentlemen," the tenor ringer began, "this Is a mighty poor place in the show to interrupt tbe pro­ ceedings to make a speech, but ascer­ tain things are about to happen. I think it is only fair that you be put on. 1 have heard that Holy Moses Perking, who is known pnd generally hailed and greeted as the eventual husband of Miss Betty Hoyler. who ia taking the part of Yum Yum, has announced to all con­ cerned that if I followed out the direc­ tions of the book of this play and infcist on kissing the lady, there will be five different kinds of trouble. I hereby an­ nounce that I am-going to begin kissing the young lady in about three minutes aud, shall keep right on kissing' her through the whole blamed song, and I further announce thn II shall Ehall do do that that kissing in full view ctf the auuicnce. Moreover, it may be o: interest to yen to know that I have secreted in these long and flowing robek two first-rate six-shooters right ready for business. I um-a|so armed With the fact that Holy Moses Perkins is sitting in seat No. 167, which is in plain view from the stage. As the scene which is about to be presented is a cross between a de­ licious love song and a homicide, and as I shall caress the young woman with one eye on her beauteous charms and the other on seat Xo. 167,1 hope you will overlook any little shortcomings in the nffair. I hate to mention such low, coarse things, bnt the gun which I shall use first is n self-cocker and has been recently oiled. Thanking you for your kind attention, the show will now go on.” We listened to the rendition of the kiss-kiss song p-ith great interest, es­ pecially those who were in range of sent No. 167. Nothing happened, however. Mr. Perkins remaining statuesquely mute. But when the npplause contin­ ued on its demand for an encore, Mr. Barker appeared once more at the stage front. "Thank you," he said, "for this vindi­ cation, but if you want some more of it I am compelled to say you can’t have it. I respect Mr. Perkins’ claims on the premises. Thank you one and all. and especially Mr. Perkius. who has this night sacrificed his feelings for the ad­ vancement of art. The show will now proceed.” We then leaned back and listened re­ spectfully while Pooh-Bah told about his troubles and his expectations.—Chi­ cago Record. FRILLS OF FASHION. Some sort of headdress is a positive necessity-for up-to-date evening dress, and headdresses seem to increase in size as the keason advances. Three feathers, either black or white, with a jeweled aigrette towering<high atone side, are not unusual, and young ladies wear flowers as a substitute for the jeweled ornament. Blue, in all the shades of navy, torquoise, gray, and lavender tints, is prophesied as the leading color for spring, with grlen, brown and yellow ranging next in importance. The special feature of the latest even­ ing cloaks is the large hood at the back, which is really made for use, and very becoming. A uew fashion in silk stockings shows a clock in open-work lace which is fully two Inches wide at the heel, spreading su as to show on eitlher side of the front when it is on the foot aod tapering up to a point on the side. This is some­ times in a contrasting shade, but the effect is prettiest when it matches the stockings. Blue silk stockings, em­ broidered all over with tiny rosebuds, Benforv Pa­ ir io tUm. More dangerous, perhaps, at this time than any Spanish fleet or flotilla are the senators and representatives in con­ gress who propose io hold up, if they can, all war measures of finance or tax­ ation that are not shaped according to their various political and financial theories. The man to give the signal for this at­ tack from within the lines waa Senator Allen, of Nebraska. The signal ap­ peared in a resolution which Mr. Allen introduced in the senate: "That In the opinion of the senate noclrousustAnces can arise in the relations of the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain that Will warrant an increase of tbe interest-bonded .Indebtedness of this government, or that will in any manner interfere In the reform of the financial af­ fairs' of the United States on lines laid down In tho national people's party plat­ form of July, ISM.” It ia not from the extreme populists cf the Allen stripe that embarrassment tn the administration and the national interests is chiefly to be apprehended. Of course there is no danger that con­ gress will undertake to prosecute the war exclusively upon the lines laid down in the populist platform of 1896. But the disposition to use the present opportunity to enforce or promote crank ideas or pet notions or factional or partisan theories is already manifest in bills introduced since Allen led the way with his impudent resolution;, in­ come tax bills, inheritance tax bills, sil­ ver standard and silver bond proposi­ tions, greenback measures, nnd so on in great variety. They are all present­ ed as war measures, and they are all intended to complicate the war ques­ tion with the issues that entered into the last presidential canvass, and were then determined for four years, at least, by the result of the election. Let it be understood in advance that any attempt in any quarter to embar­ rass the administration and imperil the nation’s cause for the sake of this or that financial theory isn crime against patriotism sure to be.visited heavily with public indignation.

WAR WITH SPAIN RBlianiB war nbws TREASURY GOLD. IN THE GREAT The United States treasury hold* (181,000,000 net in gold, and new sup­ plies have been coming by every steam* er from Europe. Our gold reserve is row larger than at any other period during the last nine years. The Amer­ ican Economist contrasts this condition of the treasury with that which was ob­ servable in 1895, the year of the Vene­ zuelan crisis. Then the net gold in the treasury was $63,262,269, aud we were exporting gold to Europe in pay­ ment of an adverse balance of trade at the rate of (1,000,000 a day. Then Mr. Cleveland's "endless chain" was in full operation, and its buckets constantly were carrying gold abroad or deposit­ ing it in American secret hoards. There was confidence neither in the tariff nor in tbe currency, nor in any feature of the financial policy of the government. The national pulse was panicky, agriculture was depressed, and manufacturing enterprises showed hardly semblance of life. All classes were dispirited and many a family felt the pangs of hunger. Now the "endless chain’’ has ceased to revolve, confidence in the financial policy of tbe government is unbound­ ed, and, but for tbe event of war, which necessarily must diminish imports, there would be a steadily increasing surplus from tariff revenue. The crisis of war has found the nation in a condi­ tion of financial readiness which is un­ paralleled in history. Had war con­ fronted us while we were under such financial and industrial conditions as prevailed during the Cleveland admin­ istration tbe prospect would have been alarming.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

He was one of those who would rather -slug the song of tbe van­ quished” Iu heroic, sinewy, brainy effort than dawdle tn comfortable repletion. He used hla talenta. He responded at the call of opportunity. He tolled to eminence, abd when at last he stood where ambition bad lured him, death summoned blm. 1 was one of those who followed to its final resting place tbe body of him who bad been but a few days before a polled Slates Senator from the proud State of South Carolina. Un our way from tbe DitiOD’a capital to Greenville we passed through regions marked by battlefields where onoe had glowed tbe camp fires of two great ware, where names of stations stirred memories of history not yet ancleot but now lapped and overlapped by the swift sweep of events. Tbrougb regions where colonial heroes, roused to the full stature of liberty, fought for a cause whose then dimly foreseen fu­ ture we live our little day In. Through regions where Washington and bis compeers, “nobles by right of an earlier inheritance, aud priests by the Im­ position of a mighty Hand.” had lived and thought and fought—had felt tbe fierce joy ef victory and tbe sharp sting of defeat, and then, like blm whose body lay In state at Greenville, Insensible to rever­ ence or-respect, had gone tbelr way to “dusty death.” A Utile farther southward Whitney thought out tbe thing that crowned cotton king—-the invention that ranks among tbe causes of the greatest war 6f modern times Sid which human IlttleDCM and cupidity most stole from him. Of all these—thlnkere, statesmen and warriors—who aspired to revise the chart ot science and of nations little is left but 1 broken vestiges of daring fool steeps. Fifty years from now bow many people In-tbe United States are there who will i remember, strong as he was, high as be hwd climbed, the Senator whose body was ibdng borne to Ito burial; who will remem­ ber tbe gentlemen who followed hla body to the grave? Verily, “Man givetb up tbe ghost, and where to be?” I remember well tbe day of tbe funeral, the old enureb, tbe earnest sermon, the solemn music, and, finally, that last beau­ tiful scene beside the open grave, when all those who stood near joined in singing that hymn of hope and consolation, “Near­ er my God to Thee.” And again tbe sun­ set sky was brightened by tbe bow of promise. Again death was robbed of vic­ tory. Peace and Faith were there beeauae again, as thousands of times before, tbe awful sorrow of parting between husband and wife and father and children bad been assuaged by Paul’s words, “This mortal must put on Immortality.” That night in the old churchyard at Greenville one mound was there which bad not been before. •-Time, batrowln* Ilka a mole wlow th, around, marked bto track by tbrowloz uo another heap ot earth.” w p But above that grave In tbe aolemn atlllP*“1 h,d •*B|“ llned “P the hearts of those who listened, and late into the nlgbt, mlo,led with tbq rnab and rt^rtna”’ "‘“rnl°' traln' “» word* kept ^““'PXWIt w.

Ever since the hardy pioneers blazed the way through the primeval forests Of this section of the state, tbe farmers who loratvd here, and cleared up tine farms from woods, nave been content to drive over fJiue ot the most abominable roads then- are In the state, and a disgrace to any enlightened community. For five ,i Iles in most any direction ftota tbe city :h. highways are simply awful aod about as bad as they well cocld be. While some of the hills have been cut down yet tbe r.n<h to-day are even worse than they were n quarter of a century ago, because ,.f the abominable system’ we have In Michigan of ••working out the road tax.” ulikb H nothing short ot an annual picnic and story-telling matdh. By this eo-called j end work all the sand along at tbe side of .-.nd Is scraped ujt In the middle ot the read and covered over any good, hard soil th. - might have b^en In tbe first place. We kmov of one ipstamce where one man, we-• worked out hli< road tax, actually hujlrd sand from bottom of a hill up (-i top ot the same hlH. There are doubt­ less other cases of the same kind, though p.«>u,ly not as aggravating as thia one. Au All-iVi-e Providence that decreed it to be th«* tale ot the farmers of this vicinity to travel ov8r these reads, that have been sailed by our system of road work, also p! r d conveniently at band great beds of M.iviidtd eravel In almost every locality, if no*, ere locality. Nothing good comes without labor, and tbe farmers who have hauled loads over these terrible roads for r.eariv a half a century are now commenciuk to realize for lhe first time that if the fhtui* effort bad been, made to haul gqpd crawl on the road, as there has been to avoid doing justice to the roada, our hlghwnys would have been boulevards, time would have been eut almost In two; dis­ tance would have been practically annihi­ lated: teams would have been spared, and •ih- divine command “Thou shall not take tlie name of Ilk* Lord in vain,’’ would not have been so frequently broken. Good roads would thus have infinitely'added not only, to the pleasures of those who Travel the roads, but also to the moral In­ fluence of the individual. With the idea of helping the Good Kikids cause: for the mutual advantage of bd>th merchant and farmer, the business nk'Ti <’f tlastings have subscribed liberally tdr Th • purpose of building a good road lumling west' from the city, through Rut­ ' who lafid io Yankee Springs.

Admiral Dewey wasted no time in ne* gottations for the purchase of transports, but as soon as cable authority was re­ ceived he bought two large British steam­ ers, the Nanehan and Zafiro, for trans­ ports, with the understanding that they were to be cleared of cargo within twentyfour hours. The price paid for the Nanshan Is not given, but for tbeZaflro the United States paid 890,000. Both vessels were heavily laden with stores and trade goods for the Caroline Islands, and had already cleared for Guam. Admiral Dewey retained the British officers and crews, and his energy ip loading these vessels and getting bis own fleet coaled and loaded with stores ex­ cited the admiration of the English naval officers and merchants of Hong Kong. It is said that Admiral Dewey drove a good bargain for the transports, as he se­ cured a clause providing that the former owners should take back the ships at the close of the war at a good price. The China mall of Hong Kong of April 9 said the American vessels in the harbor were In superb condition, and that Ad­ miral Dewey’s foresight had provided them with everything in the way of sup­ plies that would be needed. It predicted that Dewey would have no trouble in des­ troying the Spanish fleet, but it said the chances were chat the Spanish admiral would not give battle, and that the city would capitulate rather than endnre a bombardment. The American officers are quoted as expressing the opinion that the government’s desire was not to take pos­ session of the Philippines, but merely to bold tbe Spanish vessels in check and pro­ tect Amerlcau commerce. A press dispatch this morning states that President McKinley has decided to move upon Cuba at once. To Aid Dewey. Yesterday tbe cruiser Charleston started for Manila with reinforcements for Ad­ miral Dewey, consisting mostly of ammu­ nition and projectiles. The cruiser will arrive at Manila in about 24 days, allow­ ing two days Tor coaling at Honolulu. It is said a Spanish fleet ot armored vessels will start for Manila before next month. Yesterday Secretary Long gave out the welcome news that tbe battleship Oregon Is safe, and had successfully completed tbe trip from San Francisco, making tbe circuit of tbe coast of South America. Tbe Secretary would not say where tbe battleship is, though it is probable it has joined Sampson’s fleet, or will soon do so. Tbe Oregon left San Francisco about six weeks ago, before the war commenced, and has traveled over 13,000 miles.

This Is an 1mportan; item In the revenue producing bHL There are about 11.S44 banks id the UulUxL Btates taxable under tbe provision. Bupoosiiar the average capital were n jt In excess of teO.OOG tbe total revenue would amount to about 01 ZOO,000. . But tbe average capitalization of tbe AG48 banks in 1807 was 8176,722. Assuming this. average to bold good for the 11,644 banks, ti» additional tax on tbe capital would amou nt to nearly 13.000.000. thus making tbe revenue front the licences in banks something like 85.000,000. Beside there are licence taxes on brokers of alt, kinds, proprietors of theaters and public exhi­ bitions, which would materially add to the amount. Tax on Cobporatioxs—Under the provis­ ion with certain exemptions ot religious, edu­ cational and benevelent societies, every person, firm, company and corporation Is taxed one- ' Suarter of 1 per cent of tbe gross receipts. Thte . i made to include express companies, tele­ graph and telephone companies. and all com­ panies furnishing gas, electric light, steam. Me.

Taxon Mobtgagks-a fee of 25 cents on mortgages of less than 81 soo is imposed, aafi a like sum for each additional fcbu. In 18W the number of mortgages held In the Unite* btates was nearly 6.000.000. Assuming an av­ erage fee of 50 eems. tbe revenue from tbl> source would amount to about 82 jdo^oo. Othih Provisions -Besides these more- Im­ portant measures there are a number whose revenue producing pow^r. taken in the agb gregate, is considerable. By a provision tax­ ing futures, all sales and contracts on boards of trade are taxed 1 cent for each 8100. Then there are stamp taxes and changes in tbe tobacco rates Not unimportant is tbe tax imposed upon trade marks. Mr- Mosee considers that this will prove to be a very important factor tn the revenue bill. By another provision a tax is placed upon legacies. The Importance of tills feature ' the former case the amount received would be small.. Some of the Items Included in the . proposed bill are not found in similar meas­ ures passed In former years. Ameng thwa . are the following: Telephone and telegraph message?, electric light, steam heat. gas. etc.. ’ legacies, insurance polities and a tax on.’ futures.

By utilizing this “reke off” tbe gov­ ernment will practically make a forced loan of *50,000,000 on which it- Will pay no interest. But it will at the same time increase by ten per cent, the vo.ume of the silver dollar* the bullion vwlue of which is only 44 eents, snd which must be kept st gold par. Other­ wise there will be a collapse in the pur­ chasing power of the currency and the country will slump at once to the silver standard. That is what Mr. Bailey and his free silver associate* would like lo see happen. The proposed amendment is Intensely objectionable. The governmen can afford to pay for the use of whatever money it may be obliged to borrow and should not resort to danger­ ous subterfuges to get it for nothing. The democrats will propose also to strike out the provision for the sale of bonds and substitute for it an income tax of three }>er cent, on all incomes over *10,000. The Wilson law imposed a tax of two per cent, on all incomes over $4,000. Tbe democrat* wish to add 50 per cent, to the rate and make the ex­ emption two and a half times larger. Their present plan ia even more sec­ tional and unequal than that of the Wilson law. It will please the populists more. The supreme court decided that the Income tax law of 1894 wm unconstitu­ tional. That decision confront* the democrat*. They will argue that an income tax when voted as s war meas­ ure will meet with a kindlier reception at the hands of the court than when enacted for the purpose of raising rev­ enue in time of peace. Tbe argument is weak and the proposition will not •ommund a majority even In the senate. Other amendments will no doubt be offered. Bland, of Missouri, has intro­ duced a bill to authorize the secretary of th? treasury to issue legal tender treasury notes to the amount of *100,000,000. But while recommending an increase of the paper' money redeem­ able in gold. Bland makes no provision for better facilities for obtaining gold with which to redeem the legal tender* on demand. His scheme wfi] be pressed in the senate. Undoubtedly somebody *U1 move to open the mint* to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one in order that the people may have “more money.” But not all the democrats in the sen­ ate are going to carry partisanship to an extreme and make a factious, unpa­ triotic fight against financial war meas­ ures recommended by the administra­ tion. Senator Gorman announces that: "We wUl be rulded. bo far u the minority of th< P»^lm U advisers, and whatever rec­ ommendation tbe administsatlon tnav see fit to make will be as loyally supported by Mth Teller.

I made the patterns carefully and had them cast. Then I put them togeth­ er, built a miniature track, filled the boiler with water, lighted the fire in the furnace, and away went my little en­ gine under a full headway of steam, puffing and blowing and screeching, like i real live full-grown locomotive. If Stephenson felt half ax happy over his clumsy locomotives aa I did over my neat little miniature one, then he must have been considerably elated. But an engine without cars is a use­ less piece of machinery, and I begun to have a glimmer of hope that my toy was destined td.be of some value. So I aet about constructing a regular train of cars. When I had them finished I found that my locomotive was capable of drawing eight cars, and furthermore, that the cars could be loaded with pas­ sengers,-and my little engine could still pull them along at a good speed. Then I extended my track, giving the engine and cars a run of 400 feet in a circle. Each of my cars could carry three chil­ dren or two adults, so you will see that the locomotive built in my spare time was no slouch when it came to drawing power. I have carried as many os 18 passengers in one load, and the locomo­ tive has shown no signs of being over­ burdened. . The weight of the engine is 450 pounds, the size of the cylinder 1^x2% inches. The size of the drive wheel is 8 inches, and the length of the engine and tender C feet 7% inches. Eight cars make a full train. The cars are 14 Inches wide and 42 inches long. The sides are four inches high, with a seat at each end. Two of the cars are 51 inches long and are pro­ vided with three seats. * The total weight of the train, including the cars. Is about 900 pounds. The gauge of tbe track is 8% inches. Tbe tank of the locomotive bolds six gallons of water, and the boiler is capable of standing a pressure of from 150 to 175 pounds. I am manager, engineer, ticket agent and conductor of the train, and I hare got to know tbe peculiarities of the little locomotive so well that the crea­ tion of my own hands seems to me to be the best friend I have in the world. I often wish that 1 could reduce’ myself to so small a compass as to be able to enter the diminutive caboose and run the engine, as does the engineer of an ordinary sized train. It is an odd fan­ cy. but it seems to me that I should be­ come so much more closely acquainted with my baby locomotive, and the cl6ser I become acquainted with it the Bet­ ter I like lu But this being an impos­ sibility, I get as close as I can by occu­ pying the car next to the tender. Kneeling here I start and stop the train and regulate her speed. There was never a railroad more pop­ ular than mine. Judging from the crowds that flock around me everytime I go out to my little railroad track, it looks as though there were more fun to be gotten out of my 400 feet of rails and 900 pounds of train than from any style of travel yet invented. It might be supposed that only children would be amused by the4LiUiputian train, but on the contrary adults seem to find more amusement in a ride on one of my little cars than do the children. I am never short of passengers. The diffi­ culty is to accommodate the enormous number of people that come clamoring for a ride from nowhere to nowhere and back again on a train that isn’t any earthly use. except to furnish imuument to women and children. As we can’t have too much of a good thing. I have decided to build a second ■Lilliputian train which will be an exact duplicate of tie first, with the exception of the cylinder, which I intend to in>prove by making it three-sixteenths larger in the bore. Then I will make a fresh train at can and hire another engineer, elect myself president and board of directors of the enlarged rail­ road, and at the end of six months, if business keeps up as it has done in the past. I shall bo able to declare a hand­ some dividend and add further to the rolling stock of the Lilliputian Train company.—L H. Schrtver, in N. T.

With it his friend sent Mr. Ray am interesting outline of its history and ol tbe des­ perado who once carried it. The let­ ter reads in part: “The gun I send you is a 45, which, by some, la considered the beat caliber, owing to the accuracy with which they shoot. This particular gun was car­ ried by George Newcomb, alias ‘Bitter Creek,', alias ‘Slaughter Kid.’ He was given thia last alias on account of the Inany men he shot while yet a kid. “I used to work with thia fellow on the range along in ’79 or '80. He was in those days what was called a ‘horse rustler* for the cow outfit. After he drifted into Oklahoma be made the run during the opening, settled on a claim in a portion of Oklahoma known as the notorious cowboy flats. I say notorious for the reason that of the seven cow punchers who settled in the flats all of them turned out to be train robbers and all were eventually killed. “The first affair of note in which thia gun figured in the hands of ‘Bitter Creek’ was at Cimarron, cm the line of the Atchison, Topeko & Santa Fe rail­ road, where he, with Bill Dalton, Tul­ sa Jack,’,‘Dynamite Dick,’Bob and Em­ met Dalton, held up a passenger. They shot the conductor and some two or three of the passengers, but procured but little' money. “The next affair was the Coffeyville bank robbery, where he was working under the direction of Bob Dalton. All the robbers in this case were killed with the exception of ‘Bitter Creek,’ he being the only man out of seven who escaped after having killed the city marshal, a barber and one other. “After being set adrift by having his companions killed he disappeared for awhile, afterward joining n gangled by Bill Dalton.

Our regiment, tbe Seventh Ohio cav­ alry (1,200 strongl. was recruited in southern Ohio, in the counties border­ ing tbe Ohio river. A considerable por­ tion of General John Morgan’s com­ mand was recruited from the counties of northern Kentucky, tendering tbe Ohio river directly opposite our homes. Thus we were by no means strangers to each otherand may be said to-have been neighbors. Our rubber “ponchos” were drawn tight over our shoulders as w took up our night march through tbe downpour of rain. By midnight we had come to Fishing creek, near Mills Springs, Ky., . th® scene of General Tbonutf’ victory and Zolliocfffer’s death.

Congress May Soon be Called Upon to Decide About Building a Canal at Nicaragua to Connect Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Cruiser Charleston Sailed Saturday for Manila with Pro/ visions and Ammunition for Admiral Dewey, Among the Lot were some Projectiles that could Pierce the Armor of any Ship that Spain Owns. Saturday evening and Sunday morning a report was circulated tbat Admiral Sampson bad met tbe Spanish fleet and bad sunk about a dozen of their war ships. Late Sunday afternoon it wag found that the report could not be verified, aud Mon­ -dav morning it was found to be a hoax. Tbe story doubtless originated among enterprising reporters for the purpose of selling newspapers. The public Is grow­ ing weary of reading war reports one day and having them denied the next, and some action should be taken if possible to prevent tbe sending out of such stuff with­ out tbe least foundation of truth. While everyone is interested in the war and are very anxious for tbe news, yet the rumors that have been sent out as facta have bad a marked tendency to cause al) reports to be discredited. "Yellow Journalism” must have Its day. and the people are fast becoming tired of It. .lew Flying Bquadmn The naval strategy board Is planning to form a new flying squadron in order to cope more effectively wltb Admiral Cevera’s speedy fleet The United States navy has only two ships corresponding In class to tbe Spanish armored cruisers and none of tbe destroyer type. The New York aud tbe Brooklyn, while not so heavily armored as tbe Spaniards, are larger and have better batteries. In speed tbe New York and tbe Brooklyn are equal If not a little better than tbe enemy’s vessels and each Is able to cope successful­ ly with the best of the Spanish ships. No other armored ships of tbe United States are able to run down Cevera’s cruisers, but a boat of protected craft capable of good speed are available for a new flying squadron. By a general exchange between Samp­ son, Schley and Watson, each could be put In better stupe to force things to an issue and overwhelm tbe enemy. For the re-formed flying squadron there are available tbe armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn, tbe protected cruiser? De­ troit, Montgomery, Marblehead, Cincin­ nati, New Orleans and perhaps the dyna­ mite cruiser Vesuvius and fast converted gunboats. Tbe armor clad division, under Admiral Sampson, composed of tbe battleships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts, Texas and later on tbe Oregon, with some torpedo boats and a few secure. could fol­ low the flying squadron at a pretty good gait. This would leave for the maintenance of tbe blockade under Commodore Watson the four formidable monitors, Puritan, Terror, Amphitrite and Mlantonomoh, tbe gunboats Dolphin, Wilmington.

Chair­ man Davis ot tbe senate foreign relations committee said: ‘‘The need for a connec­ tion between tbe Atlantic and Pacific can­ not be questioned. With a canal between the two oceans In operation now we would have nothing to fear from an attack on our Pacific coast. As It Is. It would take us 60 days to send our fleet around tbe Horn to tbe pacific coast cities. With tbe canal we could dispatch men-of-war to San Fran­ cisco from New York in 14 days.” Without Much Delay. New York, May 33.—A dispatch to the Times from Tampa, Fla., says: The army here has grown to considerable propor­ tions during tbe last week. Witbin tbe military district of Tampa there 18 now a force of not less than 25,000 regulars and volunteers. Gen. Shafter denied a report that tbe transports at Port Tampa are not ready. He said that all of tbe 11 ships that have been here for some time are In complete readiness and tbat tbe five or seven now on tbe way and which will arrive at tbe port in a day or so, are thought to be fitted with bunks and stalls. When the orders come for tbe embarkation be said It will require two or three days to get tbe troops, horses and artillery aboard. He still ad­ heres to bia view tbat no movement will be made until tbe Spanish fleet is disposed of. Asked as to bow many troops would probably be taken to Cuba Gen. Shafter said that 50,000 would surely be enough. He thought tbat the first expeditionary force would not aggregate this number, but a considerable army would be sent over to establish a basis and bold It and await the coming of tbe volunteers under Gen. Lee and other. He said aldo that be did not think the movement would be de­ layed on account of tbe siege guns. He has received advices that 48 of these guns, together with 2.000 men and 1.500 horse*, have been ordered from Washington, but they have not yet begun to arrive. . in Santiago harbor.

WHEREABOUTS OF OUR BOATS A SECRET Btroau Belief TMat a Battle Will Boo* Take Place—The Situation Bammed Once — Other Washington, May 23.—The Spanish fleet which arrived at Santiago de Cuba last week has again put to sea, the des­ tination being unknown. Admiral Sampson is supposed to be pressing down from the eastward, with Commo­ dore Schley approaching from the west­ ward along the southern coast of Cub*. Under such conditions there would still remain a chance for Cervera to escape between them to the southward, unless he is outflanked. A strong belief exists, however, that he will be forced to bat­ tle. Both sides of the island are now patrolled by United States warships, and the naval authorities will not ad­ mit the possibility of Cervera’s escape without the most desperate conflict in the history of naval warfare. A member of the administration said yesterday: "The Impatience for news of what is be­ ing done naturally makes the public impa­ tient with the whole situation, as It ap­ pears from the outaldc. Men who watch the newspapers and the bulletin boards are like those who watch the pot which is de­ sired to boll. We are all listening for the slick pt the telegraph that will tell what Sampson and Schley are doing, but we must have confidence in those naval com­ manders and their squadrons. Sampson cannot carry the end of a telegraph wire with him to report every movement he makes, and we must all wait, just as the people everywhere have always waited, for the news ot naval battles. "When you come to look over the whole situation this war Is moving rapidly and we are hurrying troops to the points of em­ barkation for Cuba and the Philippines more rapidly than we can secure trans­ ports. A war between two nations cap not be fought In a day. especially when one nation show* no disposition to fight for anything except delay." Washington, May 23.—It is learned on good authority that the Cuban invasion will begin at once. It is understood that the first detachment left Tampa on transports Saturday, and the other boats will leave on each succeeding day until 60,000 men are landed. The war department is prepared to transport 25,000 troops in 36 hours. There will be two landing spots, one to the east of Havana and one to the west. They will be accompanied by the battalion of marines which went to Key West on the Panther from New York a month ago. The landing parties will be covered by gunboats, which will batter down any fortifications that may exist, shell the woods and underbrush thoroughly and thus make way for an unimpeded debarkation.

B E THE BANNER E Disraeli, as he afterwards was of the prep­ ent British premier, the marquis of Salis­ bury. During that period he held the posi­ tions of junior lord of the treasury, under colonial secretary, vice president of the board of trade, colonial secretary, and twice chancellor of the exchequer, until in 1S€8 he was called to assume the duties of prime minister. To this position he was recalled three times, serving during his four terms nearly 13 years—a longer period than any other man in English history served except the younger Pitt. A supporter of the Crimean war for the preservation of the integrity of the Otto­ man empire. In 1877 he opposed the moral support given to Turkey by DlsraeU and in his later years was one ot the severest critics In the British empire of the policy ot the allied powers in tolerating the atrocities of the Armenian massacrea and the aggressions of the Turks upon tbe lit­ tle kingdom of Greece. Originally opposed to home rule for Ire­ land, he finally became its ablest and most earnest champion, and what Ireland has secured in that direction to-day, even through a conservative administration, It owes more directly to Mr. Gladstone than to all other tnen. Mr. Gladstone’s numerous literary pro­ ductions appearing during a busy parlia­ mentary career bespeak the drift of his mind towards reilglous Inquiry and even theological controversy, as well as class­ ical study. It is to bis abilities as an orator and thinker on questions of national polity, however, that the world will look for an explanation of his Influence and the basis ot his fame. As a parliamentary debater it la confessed that be was without a rival in Ms time-even if be had an equal in Eng­ lish history. Mr Gladstone was to English legislative history what a Webster or a Clay were in America a half century ago, or to great political reforms in some sense what Abra­ ham Lincoln was at a later and more stormy period. While no other statesman of his own or any other nation has equaled him to the length of his public career, cov­ ering a period of nearly two-thirds of tbe century, it Is equally true tbat no statea­ man of the nineteenth century In any land has equaled him—Abraham Lincoln alone excepted—In the Importance and far-reach­ ing effect of the reforma which he inatltuted. His name will go down !r. hiatory as that of England's wisest, TOyt Uberal and progressive statesman.\ The woman rejoices.

MRS. FLOR* BKADLS RSNKBS. Circular letters from the State Snperlntendant concerning tbe Uniform Text­ Book Law, have recently been sent from this office to school directors throughout the county. One of tbe questions to be disposed of at the next annual meeting relatee to sub­ mitting the matter of free text books to tbe voters. Under the provisions of tbe Uniform Text-Book Law of 1897 It shall be tbe duty of the school boards of the several districts that have not prcvioutly adopted free text-booka, to submit the question of tbe adoption of free text-books to the electors of tbe district at any annu­ al school meeting during tbe yean 1897 and 1898 under the conditions and provis­ ions of Act No. 147 of the session laws of 1886. (See. 8, Ohap. XXV, Genera) School Laws.) \ It is the duty of tbe school directors to see that this question Is properly present­ ed, that voters may know just what the effect of their vote will be In disposing of tbe question. It will be well to bear In mind that 1st The adoption of free text-books re­ quires a majority vote of all the qualified electors of the district. 2nd. The rejection of free text-books requires only a majority vote of the quab ified electors present and voting. I recommend that school boards famil­ iarize themselves with tbe provisions of tbe Uniform Text-Book Law of 1897 be­ fore tbe next school meeting. Under this act the books selected by* the Uniform Text-Book Committee are to be used in all the common or primary schools of the State with tbe following exceptions: 1. —Distrlots that are now furnishing free text-books. 2. —Districts that may determine at the annual school meeting or at any general or special election In tbe year 1897 and 1898 to furnish free text-books. 3.—All districts aot Included In classes 2 and 3 that shall determine, by a major­ ity of said district voting on tbe subject, not to come thereunder. School officers will please notice and bear in mind. 1st Neglect to submit the question places tbe district under tbe provisions of the Uniform law whether or not they wish to come thereunder. 2nd.—Not to became subject to the Uni­ form Text-Book Law (and to remain Inde­ pendent as you are at present) requires only a majority vote of the qualified elect­ ors present and voting. I desire also to call your attention to the following facts relative to the law. 1. The Commission does not sit until after January 1, 1899, and the uniform series of text books will not be selected until after that dale. 2. Tbe Commission shall after Jan. 1, 1899. receive sealed proposals for the furnishing of uniform text books for a period not later thaa six months after Jan. 1, 1899. These proposals shall be receiv­ ed from publishers of text books; from authors who have manuscripts of books not published; and from persons who arc willing to undertake the compilation of books, as provided for In tbe Uniform text book law. Patrons and officers will see from the above facts that It will be (or may be) some time after Jan. 1, 1899. before tbe law will become operative In districts that do not furnish free text books, or districts that do not vote to remain out from under tbe provisions of the law.

A strange phenomenon Is attracting hundreds of visitors in the neighborhood south ot New Buffalo. Mich. The other day a man named Peterson, while plowing felt tbe earth sinking, and before he .could realize what was taking place, he and bls team plunged into a bottomless lake, tbe earth sinking out of sight for several hun­ dred yards. Peterson and team managed to reach land, but bls plow went to the bottom. Soundings In some part of the lake fail to show any bottom. Tbe water has risen to within a foot of the surface of the earth, the banks being perpendicu­ lar. Geologists explain tbe phenomenon by saying tbe crust of earth which disap peared had been for years accumulating weight, and that tbe water in the cavern beneath had been gradually lessening, thus taking away the support for the crust, which, when weakened, fell In and disappeared.

Mr. Bryan will begin recruiting at once and gays that he thinks he will have no difficulty in getting 1,600 healthy, able-bodied young men to serve under him, not a* home guarda, but where Spanish bulleta tte flying. Mr. Bryan waa commis­ sioned at hia own request. He states that while he has had no military train­ ing he feels that it ia hia duty todoaom^ thing for hia country. He announces that “I desire to see service, and shall lead the regiment if the rules will per­ mit one without military service to do so. I will claim the right under the cir­ cumstances, and of courae expect some consideration will be Bhown mt." The personal friends of the new as­ pirant for military honors unite in re­ pudiating the report that the deal is merely for political .fleet As a rule It ia impoaalble to state positively what the motive* are which actuate a man to pursue a given course. It may be that Mr. Bryan is governed by a'patriotic desire to do his country some service in the field. He may think that he wlH be the best recruiting officer there ia in Nebraska. On the other hand, it is more than likely that he ia going into the war mainly for the purpose of keep­ ing himself before a publie which might forget all about him if he did not doao. Bryan’s lectures are a failure. Free silver is not a drawing card at this time. The people will not turn out to hear a man who has nothing but that or the income tax or “government by Injunc­ tion“ to talk about. If Mr. Bryan wishes to keep on advertising himself, as he certainly does, he sees that he can do bo only by identifying himself with the wbr. That will enable him to re­ tain his hold on the attention of the public until war is over and he can re­ turn to business at the old free silver stand. If Mr. Bryan raises a regiment and it is mustered into the service and is sent ■where there is fighting to be done he may turn out, after a Httle experience, to be an efficient officer and do somegood work. But he can do his country more service—if he chooses—by re­ maining in civil life and insisting on hia followers in congress standing patriot­ ically by the government than he can by putting on shoulder straps. Sen­ ator Jones, of Arkansas, and other Bryanites are endeavoring to debase the currency and destroy the credit of the country. Bryan should demand publicly that they behave themselves. He has not done so. When the rebellion broke out Stephen A. Douglas, who had been President Lincoln’s political opponent for years— who had won political victories over him and had met with the greatest of political defeats at his hands—forgot all the differences which had divided them and called on all the democrats who had followed him to give the presi­ dent their cordial and unfaltering sup­ port in the field and in congress. He set an example which Mr. Bryan would have done well to imitate, but he haa not done so. While he is raising men in Nebraska to fight the battles of the United States his lieutenants in the senate nre deny­ ing the government the money which is needed to carry on the war and are scheming to get rid of the gold standard and substitute that cheap silver stand­ ard of which Bryan is so prominent and energetic an advocate.—kjhicago Trib­ une.

During tbejlasl few years, among toe most remarkable scaling that has been dene in this country, was tbe scaling down of tbe prices of every product, from every range, from every farm, from every orchard, from every field, from every dairy and from every valley and mountain In the State of Oregon. And It was done by the gentleman who represents the ’rural district* of the State of Kansas, and bis associates on that side of tbe house, in the passage of tbe Wilson bill. (Ap­ plause on the Republican side.) ’’When this was done and tbe prices of every variety of our product* were scaled down—when every particle of In­ creased Protection that'had been accorded to us by tbe McKinley bill w&s taken from us by tbe Wilson bill, which that gentle­ man supperted—pracilcally every bit of extra taxation was kept upon the things that the fanners of tbe States of Oregon purchased. While gentlemen on tbe other side were sealing down tbe duties upon wool and farm products, they kept up tbe duties practically upon things we bad to buy. There was no other thing they could have done so effectually to scale upward eVury debt pf every farmer of tbe State of Oregon as wss done by that bill. ’’The gentleman from Kansas may be a friend of tbe farmers in Kansas; a number of the gentlemen on that side may be friendly to tbe farming Interests of their own States; but no act waa ever passed by the Congress of the United States that has brought such widespread ruin to the peo­ ple of the State of Oregon—at least in tbe First Congressional District—as the Wil­ son bill, passed under tbe lead of William Jennings Bryan followed by the gentle­ man from Kansas and his associates on that side of tbe house.” And Real Estate i, bound to »P Bjtt l have herc 1,,t ot bargains .at the rock bottom prices Hall lot« and T bik. 15 City <X BmUM", The general curiosity in regard to the alleged democratic reasons for op­ posing th* revenue bill a* framed by the republican committeemen ha* hard­ ly been satisfied by th* speech of Sen­ ator Jone*, of Arkansas, who repre­ sented the democratic-silver combina­ tion. Or, rather, the speech showed that there was abacdutdy no strength or merit in the opposition to the bill. In the first place,; Senator Jon eshad peculiar estimates of hl* own with ref­ erence to the cost of'the war, estimates which the republican spokesmen had no difficulty in puncturing! He further maintained that it was wholly unnec­ essary that all the expenses of the war should be provided for in the pending bill. Congrese, he said, would return in December, and If any emergency re­ quired it* presence sooner the preai­ dent could attend to that by proclama­ tion. . He evidently found it convenient to ignore the fact that the provision for the issue* of short-term certificates and long-term bonds do not directan imme­ diate issue of either, but merely author­ ize the treasury to issue them as the need arise*. Does he imagine that they would be issued anyhow, regardless of the course of the struggle? Th* aenator says he and his party pre­ fer increased taxation to bonds. The only principle conceivably behind thi* preference is that the present genera­ tion should pay the expensesof the con­ flict; but if that be the democratic mo­ tive, the opposition is palpably insin­ cere. At best the objection would ap­ ply only to bond* and not at all to short­ term certificates to hie redeemed out of the revenue yielded by current taxation. Yet the democrats are as vehement in fighting the certificate proposal train re­ sisting bond issues! This alone proves the hollownea*and hypocritical nature of their pretended statesmanship. It is passing strange that in the re­ ports of the senator’s speech we find no reference to the greenback and the seigniorage amendments, the pet polit­ ical proposal* of the silver combina­ tion. If this silence signifies that the democrats themselves realize the folly and impossibility of these sham amend­ ments and'do notintend to waste time on them, they are to be congratulated on their discretion. At any rate, it is clear that the bill a* reported by Sen­ ator Allison, minus the democratic amendments which he disavowed, will, encounter no very seriou* or formidable difficulties. Even Jones was painfully aware of the weakness of his case.—Chi­ cago Post. PRAISE OUR PRESIDENT.

When the scalp is starved the hair dies at the roots. What’s the matter with your hair? It gets dry, harsh, brittle, dull of color, the ends split. You wash it and brush it, but it still comes out. It’s hungry! If washing and brushing would stop starvation, then all the expense of a horse’s keep would be a sponge and a currycomb. Hunger needs bread, not a bath.

Hobson then sei off an internal torpedo with an electric attachment. There was an explosion, the Merrimac sank, the channel was closed up, and, apparently, Admiral Cervera will be unable to escape. Kingston, Jamaica, June 6. — Hobson and tip hero crew of the Merrimac were saved in the followingmanner: Unable, their way back through the storm of shot and shell, they rowed into the h*rbor to the Spanish flagship and were taken on board unharmed. The Span­ ish admiral, under a flag of truce, on Friday sent word to the American ad­ miral that he offered to exchange the prisoners, adding that in the meanwhile Hobson and his party would be treated with the greatest kindness. Predicted Spain’s Defeat. Montreal, Can., June 6.—Ramon Car­ ranza, who is at the head of the Span­ ish spy bureau in Montreal, recently wrote a letter to the minister of marine at Madrid in whlcn he criticised Ad­ miral Camara and predicted the ulti­ mate defeat of Spain. The letter was secured by United States secret service detectives and is published. Carranza’s utterances are said to be treasonable, and he may be executed if he ever re­ turns to Spain. He speaks also of the spy system which he is conducting and refers to a proposed naval attack on coast cities of this country. The Spanish spies are to be expelled from Canada by the authorities of that country, now that positive proof is at hand to make a case against them.

The firing began In the early morning and continued until noon and was renewed with vigor after the men hsd been given their dinner. The Iqwa fired the first shot and nine other ironclads participated In the bombardment Over fifteen hun­ dred heavy shells were thrown, besides the firing from the rapid fire guns. When the storm of shells bad cessed, Morro Castle, and the other forts protecting San­ tiago were a mass of smoking ruins. Es­ trella battery is of no further use to the Spaniards. During the lull In the bom­ bardment at noon a landing party of marines from the American fleet were at­ tacked by a Spanish force of infantry and cavalry. The insurgents were posted in the neighborhood and with their help the Spaniards were routed and tied toward Santiago. After this skirmish the land­ ing of troops proceeded and when com­ pleted, 900 marines, three regiments of In­ fantry, the batteries and a batalllon of en­ gineers had disembarked. Intrenchments were thrown up and some siege guns placed and the American force was se­ curely established. There is no report of injuries or ol any damage to the American 'fleet during the bombardment. A dispatch from Cape Haytien. Hayti, states that a great battle took place at Ualmanera in the bay of Guantanamo Tuesday morning In which five ships of Sampson’s squadron bombarded the forti­ fications of the town. The Spanish land batteries replied vigorously for some time but were finally silenced and were obliged to withdraw. It Is officially admitted by the Spanish authorities at Madrid that the cruiser Reina Mercedes with a crew of five taHors and twenty-nine marines was sunk in Santiago harbor Monday. Positive assurance has been received that the inyading Cuban army left Tampa Wednesday dood, 27,000 strong. The force comprises infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers and a signal corps. .

As ua instance, the Wbitneyvllle brook, .having: its • head In Campau lake, Caledontet township, running through a portion.off* Cascade, being nearly four miles long antfc stocked by tbe state, the people are fa»-'. bidden by the owners of land, lying along: its whole length, from fishing. It would seem as though this cannot be the Intention of . the law. but betelC law-abiding people, we wish to abide bjp the laws if we can understand them. An answer in The Democrat will oblige, very many I am snre. SubcrIbxr. MsCords, April 24. The above letter was referred to Deputy State Warden Brewster, who has replirA as follows: Editor of The Democrat:— “SuberI hex* has asked for a construction on Act 121*. Public Acts of 1891, which reads as fol­ lows: . “Sec. 1. Tbe people of tbe state off Michigan enact, that In any of tbe nav­ igable Or meandered waters of this, stater where fish have been or hereafter miy be>propagated, planted dr spread at the ex­ pense of tbe people of this state dr the United States, tbe people shall have the right to catch fish with hook and Hue dur­ ing such seasons and in each waters a» are not otherwise prohibited by tbe laws, of this state. See2. No action at law shall be main­ tained against persons entering upon sucbi walers for tbe purpose of such Ashing, by the owner, lessee or persons having the. right of possession of adjoining lands ex­ cept for actual damage done. In any such action the defendent under a proper notice may dispute on the trial the. plain­ tiff’s right lo either title or possession the land claimed to be trespassed upon,'* This statute was enacted for tbe expeasm purpose of protecting a fisherman a»4 te» accord him the right to fish on any stream stocked at the expepse of tbe state or npect any waters Into which fish could migrates from public waters or from which they could pass Into public waters. Act. 196 of tbe Public Acts of 1891 ex­ pressly states that no person shall at any time or in any manner acquire auy pro­ perty In, or subject to his dominion or control any of tbe birds, game or fish, tom killing, taking or having In possession off which Is at any time or at all times pro­ hibited by tbe laws of this state, but they shall always and under all clrcumstaneeux and conditions be and remain the’sole pro­ perty of the state. By killing, catching: or taking tbe same, however, in tbe man­ ner and purposes authorized by law u>dL during tbe periods when tbe killing is not prohibited by law tbe same may be uutA at the time, in the manner and for tbe» purpose expressly authorized by law, bot. not otherwise. If a stream or lake Is stocked at the ex- . pense of the state, or was native stocked,, or was connected with other watois through which fish could migrate, the fiate in such waters belong to tbe people of tbfc state and any person has a perfect right io- • catch them in a legal manner and at a*, lawful time. There has been a great) difference of opinion as to what constitutes a private lake or stream and in answer to an Inquiry from this department. Attorney General Fred A. Maynard has today filed an opinion, in wbleh he says: "A private lake or pond or waters axe* those which are not navigable and tbe soil under and on the borders of which is ow»ed exclusively by the person or persons: who claim tbe waters as their private pro­ perty; and having no connection wHk other streams or waters which are public, and through which fish may pass,” Auy lake or stream other than as above described would be considered pubHc. waters, and under Act 121, Public Acte, 1891. toe public would have tbe right to. fish therein at any time when the owdwb. of lands surrounding such lake, or through, which such stream flowed, would be per­ mitted to fish: and would not be finable for trespass In crossing lauds to get t* such stream or lake, except for actual damage done.

Meeting wm called to order at 1:45, when tbe paper prepared by Dr. a. P. Drake was read, giving the history of tbe pioneers In the medical profession in the county. There were many laugh­ able incidents narrated by tbe doctor, showing the primitive and crude practice In those early days. We feel that those early patients must have had more rubust cour-tltutloDB than we of todaj. to have survived such primitive treatment, espe­ cially ibtee enormutu* pills. The doctor paid a very high tribuie of resprfiplp the memory of Dr. Wm.

After tbe reading of this paper came tbe recitation by Miss Ream, "A Cure tor Rheumatism.” but we feel well assured that not ene of ber listeners would be willing to apply tbe remedy. Tbe meeting then listened to a song by Mrs. Belle Hendershott entitled. "1 Canna Leave tbe Old Folk.” and as usual the audience cheered wildly, and persisted In catling her out again, but as she was not prepared wltb another sone, offered to sing "Auld Lang Syne” provided the audience would join In tbe chorus, which they did, and sang tbe old song with a will. After tbe singing the meeting was ad­ dressed by Mr. Mason of Gull Prairie; the lather of Mrs. John Nevins. 95 j» ars; old, he made some very feeling remarks of the long ago. which were listened to and much appreciated by tbe audience. Then followed the election of officers for the ensuing year—For President, D. R. Cook. For Secretary, Miss Rose Good­ year, tbe balance of the officers to remain as heretofore, Viee President, W. W.

After the election of offi­ cers Marshall Cook gave a short entertain­ ment with’his gramaphone.

WAR WITH SPAIN RBliablB war News IN THE GREAT MT ONflL FAMILY FREE SILVERITES FOOLED. NBWSFflf&R Furnished bu Special Gorresnondents aithelronL The great power of the American gold standard dollar is to be thoroughly illustrated in the Philippines. The Dews comes from Washington that the government- bas purchased 250,000 Mex­ ican silver dollars, which Gen. Merritt ■will take with him to the Philippines to assist in defraying the expenses of the expedition. It is possible to buy Mexi­ can silver dollars for 46 cents, thus ob­ taining two Mexican dollars for one American dollar, and still have eight cents to apply on the purchase of the third. Tbe government bought tbe 250,000 Mexican dollars for $116,000, the deal being made in San Francisco. The purchase is not sufficient to defray al! the expenses of the expedition, of course, but more will be obtained and sent to Merritt from time to time as they are needed. In tbe Philippines the Mexican dollar buys more than the American dollar, as It contain* more silver, snd the expenses of the expedi­ tion once landed in Manila will be just one-half what they would be if the con­ ditions were otherwise. The soldiers will virtnally draw double pay, for they will be paid two Mexican dollars for every American dollar due them on pay day. and each Mexican dollar will pur­ chase more than their American dollar would because that is a free silver coun­ try. It would naturally seem that when an American silver dollar backed by gold will purchase two Mexican silver dollars, in which there ia more silver and which will purchase more in tie Philippines than the dollar backed >y gold. It is a pretty good indication that the American dollar is on a firm founda­ tion and is pretty good money to have. —Iowa State Register.

Had there been a team on hand Thursday as soon as tbe firemen were ready to go, at least five minutes would bave been saved and the fire would not bave gained such headway and the damage would have been materially lessen­ ed. 1 Hastings has a good fire department and their work is the subject of much favor­ able comment not only from our citizens but from visitors who chance to be lu tbe city when a fire occurs, but their efficiency should not be lessened by not having some means promptly on hind to get tbelr fire fighting apparatus to fires quickly. Tbe loss occasioned by two or three delays like the one above mentioned would be sufficient to pay the coat of maintaining a team at the city hall constantly or at least witbin reasonable running distance saving nothing about tbe natural pride we should bave Id giving every possible assistance to an organization which bas proven ItoeW, in fire-fighting ability, equal to many of the fire departments of onr large cities who do nothing but that line of work.

A young woman who lives in a New England town had a unique experi­ ence with butterflies. She happened to be in the garden on a warm day in the fall, and noticed a brown butterfly fluttering about, somewhat languidly, among the few remaining flowers. She caught It without much trouble, and carried it to her room, where the windows were screened, and let it loose. The little insect accepted the sitnation, and conducted herself as if quite at home. Tbe substantial New England name of Maria Silsbee wm beat owed upon It—-though not eminent­ ly appropriate. Maria’s food and drink was placed on the window sill, and con­ sisted of a Imp of sugar moistened by a drop of water, and she partook of this by unfurling her long spiral trunk, which resembled tbe hairspring of a watch, and inserted the end ia tht sugar. Maria waa not fated to live in nolltade. One day there appeared In the being there, unlew tbe maid had left tbe acreea up for a few momenta while making up the room. The Krueger waa named Jonathan Matthew,. He waa far more rentnreaome than Maria, and of not ao docile a ‘ number •train'd him from doing MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.

Our tired teachers are to be congratu­ lated on Its near approach. Teachers, bow will yon pass your vacation? Not all of us have our “rather” tn tbe matter of vacation. Duty to others, lack of means, and circumstances we can not control, mostly settle tbe matter for us. But there are some things your commissioner can safely advise. Get all the rest you can. Get In your own wayJf you can, for that which would rest one temperament does not always rest another. Perhaps there is nothing a teacher needs more than to drift for a short time caring not the least In tbe world when it is nine o’clock in tbe morning or four o’clock in tbe afternoon (periods for school opening and closing.) Tbe sensation of Irresponsibility does not come to tbe teacher many months In a year, in fact it is a novel sensation lo be cultivated for a short period of time only. Vacation, in tbe truest sense of tbe word, should bring to every teacher a change—such a change as will better fit one for tbe duties of the coming school year. Every groove In your brain de­ mands it,—every tense nerve cries out for It. Get in some pleasant way If possible. But whatever you do or don’t do, try to touch some broader, richer, stronger per­ sonality than your own and absorb as much of it as you can. Going out Into some shady nook, alone with your book, may be your Idea of a good time, but you have not touched humanity in that quiet afternoon. Book personality Is not ail the teacher needs. You need to meet people who are electric and who can g’.ve you profitable shocks of intellectual culture as well as enjoyment. You need to be stirred responsively on your intellectual as well as your pleasurable side. . Some of our teachers will attend sum­ mer normals and prepare for higher grades of certificates, we hope they may each meet men and women worth knowing wherever they may be, and touch person­ ality In a sympathetic way, because of their interest ‘.a the same things. Some cry out against the cruelty of “ex­ pecting poor, tired teachers lo go to sum­ mer schools.” If one goes because one must and against bls will, why amen to the outcry against IL But to go because It means self culture and advancemenL pleasant Intercourse with men and women who are interested in the same things we as teachers are interested in, is no more cruelty than Cor artists to visit picture galleries during tbe summer season. There, are trays and ways ot going to summer schools, tbe same as there are ways and ways ot expending ones vaca­ tion. But wherever you are don’t forget to keep your eyes and ears open to nature’s revelations. Listen to ber story wherever It Is breathed to you and get the rest and message it bolds for you. Be receptive and responsive to every good thing and take time to feel and to enjoy and to Im­ prove, and you will be tbe better fitted for tbe work of the coming school year. With this issue, the School Column blds Its teachers and readers good bye until the opening of the next school year, fully ap­ preciating tbe great help the county papers have been In furthering the interests of educational advancement in this county, and thanking the papers, one and all. for tbe ever ready assistance which they have tendered.

Barry County Pioneer Society, PAST IL The Barnum Settlement Zebulon Barnum came from Carlton, Or lean i< eonnty, N. Y., to Jackson county, Mlcb., in 1886, and In that year, determin­ ing to seek a home farther wesL started with bls son. I. Harrison Barnum, Netaon Sprague, Nemiah Lovell and Harrison Ladle on a land looking tour. They had not been out long betore swollen, streams and tbe loss of a horse discouraged them, and all hands retraced tbelr steps. Spragde and Barnum got a Mr. McOmber to locate them some land In Carlton and he secured for Barnum the northeast Ja of section 35. While for Sprague. :*e located tracta on sections 24 and 36. In t^e fall of 1837 Zebulon Barnum, his son, I. H. Barnum, aud Nelson Sprague came to Carlton finding N. Lovell on tbe north west h of section 25 and Senter Blood on section 26. Sprague had hired Senter Blood, Stephen Barnum and I. H. Bar­ num to come out early In 1837 to do souse chopping for hied, and had supplied suffi­ cient provisions to last a week, at the end of which time he was to send some more. They chopped away like heroes and like heroes ate, until at the close of the week they bad eateii al) of Ihrlr provisions save a few potatoes, never doubting, of course, that Sprague would be at hand to replen­ ish them. Sprague was, however, de­ tained beyond his expectations and while they waited for him fully a week, they lived meanwhile on roasted potatoes and of these they bad so tew that they were compelled to ration them. Deer, tbe only game to be thought of, they couldn’t get, because the snow crust on tbe ground gave the hunters no ehanee to surprise tbelr game. Harrison Barnum got tired of the roatted potatoe diet before the ia»t week was ended and made a start for Yankee Springs, but before he got there he had to fast twenty-four hours, and was altogether In au unhappy condition. After Zebulon Barnum and Nelson Sprague had put up a bouse on Baruum’s place they went back to Jackson for their families. On the way bark Barnum met Mo-es Durkee aud Thomas Senter moving westward on a prospecting tour, and engaged them tu go out to Carlton to chop tor him. They turned their steps thither without delay. Durkee chopper! a few mouths for Bsrnnm aud then bargained with him for 40 acres of land and became s settler on section 25. Among tbe early settlers In the Barnum settlement may also be reckoned Jesse Townsend. E!lls Wood on section 24 and Bllbu Coney on the north went M of section 25 and Richard Y«ungs on the south east X of section 25. Leonard Hale. Israel Hale, James Lancaster and Stephen Barnum. In the southeast, corner of the town on section 86 were Abe! and Philan­ der Bkrnuni. Nelson Sprague and Stephen Riggs. In 1843 Truman P. Barnum came to Carlton from Orleans county, N.

All the tissues of the body need wafer, and water in abundance is cecessary also for the proper performance of every vital function. Cleanliness of the tis­ sues withn the body is as necessary to health and comfort as cleanliness of the skin, and water tends to insure the one as truly as It does tbe other. It dissolves the waste material, which would otherwise collect in the body, and removes it in the various excre­ tions. These waste materials are often actual poisons, and many a headache, many rheumatic pains and aches, many sleepless nights and listless days, and many attacks of tbe "blues" are due solely to the circulation in tbe blood or deposit In the tissues of these waste ma­ terials, which cannot be got rid of be­ cause of cun insufficient supply of water. Water is accused of making fat. and people tfith a tendency to corpulence avoid it for that reason. But it is not strictly true. It does undoubtedly often increase the weight, but it does so be­ cause it improves tbe digestion, and therefore more of the food eaten is util­ ized and turned into fat and flesh. But excessive fat, which we call corpulence, is not a sign of health but of faulty di­ gestion and assimilation, and system­ atic water-drinking is often employed as a means of reducing the superfluous fat—which it sometimes does with astonishing rapidity.—Youth’s Com­ panion.

Tbe Item Is from tbe Enterprise ot Ml Pleasant, in the vicinity of which city quite a crop of tbe beets Is being grown this year: •'The thinning of the sugar beet crop so that thrifty plants are left In regular order about eight inches apart In the rows, is a tedious business. It is exactly the same work from morning until night, and about eight days’ work must be done on each sere. After tbe thinning shall be done tbe plants will grow rapidly. A shallow cultivation to keep tbe ground motet and the hoeing out tbe weeds as they appear will be light work. Tbe harvesting will be good work for tbe boys that want to earn a few dollars: Tbe most pleasant thing about tbe cron will be In getting the cheeks cashed.

A rat hunt has ju*t been concluded here in which 11,455 rat tails were counted, and a supper was given to the winners. One crowd brought in 6,802 uila and thfe other 4,653 taila. It now leaks out that one of the leaders of the winning crowd bought from partiea at Madison Mills who had recently held a rat hunt 1.486 tails, paying one cent each for the first 1,000 tails and two-thirds of a cent for 486 of them, the tails cost­ ing more than $12. This enabled thia crowd to come oct victorious. When the tails were purchased a man from another place was present, but was not willing to pay so much for the tails. When the 11,455 tails were counted out here a man was present from Plain City and offered to give $25 cash for 2,600 rat tails, but they were all burned, and'he was not allowed to'take any sway.

Bryan ia the sure-enough colonel of the Third Nebraska volun­ teers, end is going to war aa soon as his organisation ia called for. Mr. Bryan’s ambition to serve his country in the field has triumphed over serious vfaiasltudes. In order that the governor of Nebraska might hart a colonel's com­ mission to offer him, it waa necessary that the secretary of war should allow Nebraska's last batch of volunteers to be farmed into a new regiment, instead of being used fa fill ep fae two short­ handed regiments the state had already furnished.

Electric railways, like lighting serv­ ice, experience great variations in the demand for power from fiour to hour, although these are not quite ao extreme perhaps. Consequently, trolley com­ panies. too, are beginning to consider the advantages of the storage battery. For instance, the Electrical Engineer remarks: “We note, also, the intention of the Buffalo Railway company to install ac­ cumulators. to be charged from power obtained over the high tension lines from Niagara. As their load ia a fluc­ tuating one. and ia particularly low dur­ ing the night, the battery will be able to absorb all the surplus energy available, and th its permit the company,to util­ ize fully the power for which ft ia payfng. This battery, we underatand. will also be tbe largest ever installed tor railway purposes."—N. Y. Tribune. A LESSON FROM MEXICO. The Deatruction ®f the Forests Has Bronvht Drought and Desolation. The early conquerors of this country and their followers of to-day have been very wasteful and careless in the dis­ position of their forests, with the re­ sult of accelerating the dale when |bey will be compeilecT to face a problem Si progreasiva enfightan meat. Her Inhu­ manity baa served tba purpoae of arous­ ing modern sentiment to the inevitable overthrowing of bar inquisitorial insti­ tutions. In addition to thia aad similar disgusted world, aha has ©there. In her plana of finance the popocrsUc pro­ moters of a free ailver heresy have an object lesson well worth heeding. She stands before the world a country de­ voted fa a silver basis and ©onxmitted to a rotten paper carxency. Gold is at a premium. while ths paprr la practically worthless outside ot Spanish territory. Neither Spanish paper ow silver will purchase munitions of war, and the Bunk of Spain's alleged gold reserve has been drawn on heavily for this purpose. The people wbo have not seen any form of money but tbe well-nigh worthless here taken alarm and are making frantic efforts fa exchange it for the depreciated silver, knowing that they cannot obtain gold for it. In order to save herself from threat­ ened panic, she orders the exportation of silver stopped, but even that will not save her. Her unstable financial condi­ tion but llkirtrates that, while enlight­ ened nations have revised their mone­ tary systems upon a sound basis, medieval Spain, in ber ignorance, has clung to her silver standard, with ruin as an inevitable result. Without money she rennet war, and the money she can command is worth­ less outside her own boundaries. Even there it is a debased and depreciated substitute far a current exchange. Among the lessons of thia war this should not be without its salutary ef­ face—Cincinnati Commercial Gasette. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. CTThe Oregon election ought to be a lesson to the present senate.

One of the officials who attend­ ed the conference said after the news had been officially announced that it very materially modified the seriouspeM of the situation. The destruction of the fleet, which was not confirmed until a few minutes before the news waa given to the public, removed by fur lhe roost serious obstacle to the occupation -of Santiago by the Ameri- forces. WHOLE NO. 2247 fllct of Friday and Saturday reports show that the Spanish fleet did awful execution by shelling the American troops. It is regarded as unlikely that with the fleet lying in the bay Gem Shafter's forces would have been able safely to occupy Santiago. After the reduction and capture of tho outer de­ fenses of the city by Gen. Shafter it became necessary that Admiral Cer▼era’s fleet be eliminated from the equation. Its elimination was exe­ cuted by Admiral Sampson, thus leav­ ing the way open for the continued ad­ vance of Shafter's troops upon the city. I KILLED.BYTHE CARS FRANK DARLING. RUN OViR CM TH« ©.

AdjL Gem Corbin voiced the feelings of every one of the officials when he said: “I don’t care how the fleet waa destroyed. It was destroyed. That is enough for me.

Chicago, July 4.—The situation be­ tween the striking stereotypers and the publishers of Chicago remains practically unchanged, and probably no Chicago paper will be published be­ fore Tuesday morning at the earliest. The publisher* held a conference Sun­ day afternoon, when it appeared that a number of stereotype!** were on their way from various part* of tbe country. It was, however, determined that no attempt to issue to-day would be made. The publishers are confident that by this evening they will be sufficiently well equipped to resume publication Tuesday, but with papers somewhat reduced In size. A special train from Milwaukee, over the Chicago, Milwau­ kee & St. Paul railroad, came in Sun­ day night, bringing extra editions of the Milwaukee evening papers to par­ tially supply the demands of Chicago readers. The rub. was made in one hour and 35 minutes, nearly a mile a minute, and papers were disposed of to the eager citizens almost as soon as they appeared on the street*.

There is a man in Wentzville, Mom who baa a habit of eating his mfdday meal before 12 o'clock, says the Sun­ day Republic. A neighbor went to his house not long ago, and found him and his family at the dinner table. It was then half-past IL “Why. Mr. Major* are you at din­ ner?” ejaculated the surprised neigh­ bor. “Oh, yes,” replied Mr. Major*. “We nearly always eat dinner about thi* time of day." “It seems to me that this is pretty early," said the visitor, smiling. “Why, you must get through by 12 o’clock." ply. “You see we always have our din­ ner early as a precautionary measure." "As a precautionary measure!” ex­ claimed the neighbor. “Why? Do you want to keep from getting hungry?" "No, that’s not it," said Majors. “Don’t you see. If we don't eat our din­ ner early the bouse might burn down and then we wouldn’t have any? It’s a precautionary measure, a precau­ tionary measure!" ’ HIS ATTENTIVE AUDIENCE. by a Novelist te a Jersey Tswa.

It is both gratifying aud somewhat •urprising that the revenue, as yet scarcely afieeted by a single provision of the new law, which will take effect a* to nearly all iu clauses July 1, nevertheleas keep* up *o well. It wm naturally apprehended when war broke out that it wnuld to seme extent affect foreign commerce, and not merely the imports from Spain and Spanish pot­ session*, but also imporu from other point* with which trade had been mainiy in American vessels. For a time there did appear a distinct decrease in the amount of imports and the duties derived from them. But it *ound» like a joke in these days to mention the fran­ tic anxiety shown by shippers to get war risks at high rates on their good*, and by owner* of buildings to get spe­ cial insurance against bombardment. It has not taken long to convinoe the people that Spain has never had h respectable chance of doing harm to any well-fortified seaport or to an appreciable share of American shipping. Commerce has quickly resumer its normol volume *o far that the duties on im­ ports are fully up to reasonable expec­ tations for the season. When the Djngley law was first ertticised data were presented showing that if it yielded 11,000,000 daily it would a little more than meet the or­ dinary expenses of the government as they had been met for four years, and that if it attained that measure of suc­ cess within six mouths after its enact­ ment the natural expansion of business would insure a moderate surplus in subsequent years. The revenue reached that point in February, and in spite of apprehensions caused by the destruction of the Maine and general preparations for war, nearly the same rate was maintained In March. Dur­ ing 30 days of April, exclusive of 22,t51,500 received from the sale of the Kansas Pacific railway, the revenue was $30,301,443, and in May it was $30,074,81G—not quite $1,000,000 short of the rate required in the month after war began. . In June the revenue in 18 days was $18,737,300, and on the day the war tax bill was approved the revenue for the month had been close to the'desired average—$12,407329 in 13 days—having since gained $2,700,000 in customs re­ ceipts for five days. ...

With a natural growth of business in harmony with the growth of population, it is proved that the act would have yielded by the end of the fiscal year some surplus, with certainty of its grad­ ual increase, over the expenses of the government during the preceding four years. As the problem to be considered from this time forward is a very differ­ ent one, both because the rate of taxa­ tion has been.greatly changed to meet an emergency and because the ex­ penditures of the government will run far beyond the ordinary limit of recent years, it should be set down as an his­ torical fact that after the effect of anticipatory imports had measurably though not wholly pa*sed the Dingley act came to yield in its later months be­ fore alteration substantially the full amount of revenae expected and re­ quired.

SWEETS IN QUEEN BESS’ TIME. Odd Samoa of Some Old. T»md Delaeaetea. During the Elizabethan period there grew up in England a great national liking for sweet things. Not merely was this seen In the general taste for sugar cinfltnre, but it was manifested in the general demand for sweet wines, the rich sherries, the charneco, the sack, tbe sugary almond-flavored sack­ posset, and other drinks of tbe same class. In drinking* os in eating, the in­ crease of appetite for sugar grew bv whot it fed on. Though hot a sweet­ meat in the strict sense of the term, “sack-posset” so largely represented the taste of that time for sweetness and flavor that the recipe of Sir Fleetwood Shepherd, given by Mr. Howard Staun­ ton in his Shakespeare notes, is worth quoting: “To make a sack-posset. Take two quarts of pure good cream and a quarter of a pound of the best al­ monds. Stamp them in the cream and boil with amber aud musk therein. Then take a pint of sack in a basin and set it on a chafing dish till it be blood­ warm. Then take the yolks of 12 eggs, with four of their whites, and beat them well together; and so put the eggs into the sack. Then stir all to­ gether over the coals till it is as thick as you would have it. If you now take some amber and musk and grind the same quite small with sugar and strew this on top of your posset, I promise you that it shall have a most delicate and pleasant taste.” There was an­ other mixture of tbe same class called “rambooz.” made of eggs. ale. wine and sugar.

The pay streak at Boggy camp, which is from 30 to 50 feet deep, average! from two to seven feet in thickness, the width of the leed not yet having been ascertained. One load of gravel yielded 515 stones of 184 karats oggregate weight and 42 loads furnished 000 kar­ ate. of diamonds and tinstone at the rate of 13 pounds per load.

Big as the Niagara scheme is, work has juet commoaced upon a still larger scheme of waler power development near Massena, on tbeSt. Lawrence river. United States of America, says Cham­ bers’JcruraaL It is intended to develop here 150.000 horse power by taking ad­ vantage of the difference in level be­ tween the Sv Lawrence river and tbe Grass river, flowing nearly parallel to it at a distance of 8% mile*. A big caual is to be cut across the intervening plateau, and a fall of water 50 feet in height thus obtained on tbe banks of tbe Grass river. The latter river will Itself -form the “tail race" of the power station. This scheme dwarfs tbe Niagara one, siace not only do the plana provide for a greater a moo nt of power, but man is going to do wbat nature has done for him at Niagara—namely, provide the waterfall Tbe necessary capital for carrying out thia scheme baa been pro­ vided, work has been commenced, and it is hoped that some of rhe turbines and dynamos will be working by De­ cember. 1»8. If no unforeseen diffi­ culty occur, and if thta scheme be com­ pleted by tbe date named.

The obverse of the medal shows a wild,. half-naked Indian, sstride an equally wild broncho. In hot pursuit of a buffalo which has been wounded by a shaft from the bow and the unerring aim of the redskin. It is a splendid pic­ ture, and shows life as It was on tbe plains before the progressive advent of the white man. The reverse of this souvenir will show just the opposite. H ia nothing less than a composite likeness of the best results of highest civilization—the com­ bined picture of far western beautv. Two of the prettiest girls from each state west of the Mississippi river have been photographed, and a composite P’cture of them has been made.? There wiiibe but one face on the medal, but it will show occidental beautv and culture at Its best. It fa needless to sav that this souvenir will be eagerly sought and sacredly kept by all who are ferrtunate enough to secure one. This will be especially so on the part of the young men who are admirers of the belles whose likeness will adorn the medal. The government has decided to issue these medals, and the work will be done in this city. NEW 7oRK MILESTONES. Tour of Them Still Standing, Thoatfh Defaced by A«e. Although it is many years since mile­ stones were first placed in position in this city for the guidance of the wav-i farer, there are still a few remaining to.remind the observer that tbe city was not always as great as it is to-day, rays the New Y’ork Journal. One of the near­ est of these stones to the city hall is located in front of No. 214 Bowery, di­ rectly opiKwite Rivington street- You might pass it a thousand times, however, without noting the fact that the stone is an old-time milestone. The inscription on its face is much , weather-beatpn, and nearly always ’covered by a the­ atrical poster. The age and wear that the stone has been subjected to in Its time has resulted in the figures and let­ ters it bears becoming so indistinct that it is necessary to run the fingers over Its face to decipher them at all. Besides this stone, there are three otheYs within the city limits. The sec­ ond one is just above Sixteenth street, and in front of No. 178 Third avenue. 'This stone stands a little nearer the curb than the first, and has boeen bad। ly defaced by the hubs of trucks and wagons. One corner of it has entirely -disappeared. The third stone stands in frontof No. 952 Third avenue. Its inscription is not more legible than that of the others, but Its general condition is better. The fourth is just above Seventy-seventh street, in front of Nos. 135&-1358 Third avenue. It stands straighter than any of the others, and its inscription is more easily read. All of the stones are lo­ cated on the west side of tbe street, and unless a person were looking for one, notice would not be given them at all.

Tearooms are features of several of the big Chicago dry goods stores, ond of late they are being introduced at a few of the fashionable hotels. In New York particularly some of the big hotels have seen the remunerative possibilities of a tearoom policy, and have let it be known that between certain hours cer­ tain apartments are dedicated to the cup. Chocolate, light ices and dainty cakes are also to be had, and already the scheme has prospered amazingly. Smart women were not slow to per­ ceive its advantages, while for the wom­ an who would like to be smart it wpa equally attractive. Young girls in twos and threes, and with escorts, are often to be seen, the place for some reason or other being one of the fpw where it is not considered out of the way for an unchnperoned girl to be seen with a man. It is a charming way to entertain one’s friends whep one wishes todosoneither elaborately nor expensively, for, al­ though only the smartest hotels have adopted the scheme, an afternoon's out­ lay all told is very light. It is a delight­ ful place to take one’s out-of-town friends and relatives as they have got the impression that they ore being treated much more pretentiously than they actually are. Like a good many other things, the tearoom seems- to have no stability on its own account, but attached to aomething else it haa thrived. .! 1 ________ _ The discipline of the older section of the country is not much more severe than thrKof the newly settled regions, where tbdy think tbe easterners are absurdly finical and only a ahadb leas fuaay than tbe English.

Shaftet that owing to his belief, which is equivalent to a moral certainty, that all the Spanish soldiers have left the city and arc in the intrenchments, he is bombarding theintrenchments with a view of saving the buildings in the city for future occupancy. Both land and sea forces are work­ ing in harmony, Sampson throwing 1,100-pound shells from his 13-inch guns across the six miles of country separating the sea from the city, and Shafter firing from his howitzers, ten at least of which he had in position early in the day. When questioned as to whether he believed that there had been a bom­ bardment of the city, Gen. Corbin re­ plied: “You know as much about it aa I do. I have kept nothing back. I should say, however, that the firing Sunday was but the preliminary to the more serious business of to-day.” This being the case, the attempt to take the city will probably be made to-day. The belief is held by the best in­ formed officials that Gen. Toral. the Spanish commander, will surrender when h" finds ft will be impossible for him to evacuate the city. Upon what grounds this belief is based could not be ascertained, but that information to that effect is in the hands of the war officials there Is no doubt. Gen. Shafter’s dispatch shows that he is en­ gaged now in strengthening his posi­ tion and to-day will follow up his oper­ ations with a final assault upon the city. Opposing Forces-at Santiago. , The American forces before San­ Madrid, July 11.—Information re­ ceived from the most reliable sources is to the effect that the darkest pes­ simism pervades Madrid officialdom. The hopelessness of the war is finally reccognized and the peace idea now seems to predominate in the cabinet, and negotiations are considered urgent. The cabinet is likely to cohere until peace is secured. It is now recognized that Santiago de Cuba is completely beleaguered and cannot hold out, owing to the lack of provisions and munitions of war. It is considered certain that the Americans will blockade Cuban and Puerto Rican ports, cutting off their supplies, while the authorities are con­ vinced that an American fleet is com­ ing to the peninsula. There is no con­ fidence felt that the powers will inter­ fere even if defenseless seaports are bombarded, and, therefore, what meas­ ures of defense are possible are being adopted. A detailed account has been published of Spain’s naval losses—21 warships and 21 merchantmen, as against prac­ tically do losses on the American side. This tends to convince the most rabid war advocate, and. as for a long time past, thb whole commercial and indus­ trial interests of Spain are bringing in­ fluence to bear in favor of peace. Paris.

About five years ago the two sons of Michael Smith of Dowling, aged 10 and 4 years were playing with an air gun and Id some way the gun was discharged by tbe elder, tbe shot striking the eye of tbe younger Injuring it so that the sight was destroyed and the eye bad to be removed. Tbe parents were terribly grieved over tbe aad accident out the truth of tbe old say­ ing that “when troubles eomee they eoae not single spies but in battalions,” was strangely verified in tbelr experience. Last week these same boya thought it pro­ per to celebrate the national boiktay with as much noise as possible and so they took a tin can of tbe sort that corn is put in and after fitting a fuse to It, put in a quantity of powder held down by paper and over all a layer ef clay to make tbe charge as compact as possible. When all was ready the fuse would be lighted and tbe boys would run to a safe distance and the powder would explode with a can noollka report sending the can wfth terrific velocity high in tbe air. After several successful experiments one fuse didn’t seem to burn and tne eider boy o<bm up to examine it not noticing that II tay cloee tn a piece of fire. Just as he was stooping over to pick up the can tM charge exploded striking the boy squarely in tbe face. ' The sharp edges of th? can split his note and cut his upper lip in two so that It could be laid back on bls check. But worse than all some part of tbe can struck the eye cutting and bruising it so badly that it will have to be removed. Dr. Lowry was call and dressed tbe wound and made tbe tad as comfortable as possible and at present he is doing as well as could be expected. The family are naturally much depressed by the sad accident and feel that they are having more than tbelr share of life's troubles.

IN COLLISION WITH A SAILINB VESSEL Story Wreck. Halifax. N. 8., July T.—La Bourgogne, with 548 persons, lies In 1.000 feet of water 00 miles south of Ul-fated, Sable island. The Atlantic steamship, ot the Campagnle Generale Transatlantique. was sunk at five' o'clock on the morning of July 4 In collision with tbe British ship Cromartyshire. A dense, fog prevailed. The Cromartyshire was moving at the rate of five knots an hour. La Bourgogne at 17 knots an hour. The latter sunk in about 15 minutes. Of th*; 714 passengers and member* of the crew on board La Bourgogne 165 were saved by the Cromartyshire, winch, though badly in­ jured and having 14 feet of water to the foreapeak, lay to. Only one woman was saved from La Bourgogne, Mrs. A. D. La Cas»e, of Plainfield, N. J. In the flrat mad rush of passen­ gers and crow after the collision the wom­ en and children were forsaken- Courage waa thrown to the winds. Steerage pas­ sengers and the crew fought their way past: the women and children and laid hold of whatever would sustain them in th* sea until aid came. The disaster occurred at five o’clock In. the morning of Monday, July 4, about 60 miles south of Sable Island, which He* nearly a hundred mile* off this port The Bourgogne had left New York bound for Havre on thd previous Saturday, while the Cromartyshire was on her way over from Glasgow with a crew of a men. The fog was very, dense, and the Cromartyshire was Balling along with reduced canvas and blowing the foghorn. Suddenly out of the fog rushed * great steamer, and in a mo­ ment there was a fearful crash, the Iron prow of the ship plunging Into the port aide of the steamer Just under the bridge. The shock was terrifle. and tor* a tre­ mendous hole in the steamer, while the en­ tire bow of the ship was demolished. The bteamer plunged on into the fog again, her whistle crying for help and her rockets signaling her distress. The Cromartyshire wa* rounded to. and her master. Capt. Henderson, wa* considerably relieved In finding that *he waa in no danger of sink­ ing. Off to the eastward could be heard the hoarse call of the steamer, and as the fog began to lift all the boats on thetehlps were launched. The flght for life on the decks of the steamer did not last long, for In a little more than half an hour she gave a tong lurch to port Bind went down. As the ship sank be­ neath the surface''the vortex of the waters. *ucked down everything on the surface within a certain radius. When the suction ceased, those still alive saw about 2vo bodies come out of the water with a rush, a* if the sea were giving up the dead after having swallowed the ship. But the strug­ gle for life still continued after the ship went down. Hundreds still floated about grasping for rafts, teats and wreckage In frantic endeavor- to keep above water. Even then, many of those In the boats, if the stories told are to be believed, showed their brutality by beating off those who at­ tempted to climb aboaro.

The unpleasant quality of the Amer­ ican voice is a matter of tradition, and we have .learned to expect uncompli­ mentary comments upon It at every turnv It is refreshing and encouraging to read the following by a well known writer: “Thoughtful Americans are getting tired of the endless slur upon American speaking voices. To be sure the majority of American women are not educated in convents, where to speak above a eubdued murmur is con­ sidered rude and boydenish; but the majority of American women are edu­ cated in schools where refinement is the rule, the atmospheres of which are fa­ vorable to gvntleness.diginity and sweet­ ness cf expression. The American voice, as compared with tbe German. French or Italian female voice, putting them rank against rank. 1s inconceivably more beautiful Tbe American voice is more gracefully modulated and speaks less In chromatic progressions. Ln cadence the voice of the American woman is vastly more melodious as it is also sweeter and purer In quality ”—St. Ennis Republic. An ingenious German tradesman, sentenced to eight weeks’ imprison­ ment for some slight offense, hired an acquaintance who was out of work to take his place.

BLACK-TAILED GRUNTS IN LUCK. Barnato Hired a Man to Make Clip- It is said that when Mr. Barney Barnato gave a picnic at the opening of the Johannesburg waterworks he reteted an incident that had happened to him in London some time .before. A seedylooking man, describing himself as’a journalist, called on him one day, says the Westminster Budget, and offered to cut out from papers, etc., all the com­ plimentary things said about Mr. Bornato. The genial man of millions saw that the man was “down on his luck,” and engng&l 1dm on the spot at a sal­ ary of £ 15 per month. This was quite characteristic of “Barney’s" sudden and irresponsible freaks. At tbe end of six mouths the man, who had been paid monthly, again called on Mr. Burnato and presnted a huge bundle of clippings from newspapers, asking whether he shobld continue the work. ”No,’’ replied Barney, "but I will en­ gage you for six months at the same salary to ci^t out all the nasty things you can find said about me.” Another six months elapsed, and once more the indefatigable paper-clipper turned up and reported his work to be finished. "Well.” asked Barney, "where are the results of your work?” Here Baruey assumed his gravest aspect as he re­ peated the man’s .reply: "I have not been able to bring them in; there are two cart-loads ' ’ outside!' TRYING A PEW. "One of the things we have to con­ tend with,” said a trustee of a promin­ ent church, "is the woman who wants to *try’ a pew before renting it. Now, we have no desire to force anyone to ait where she does not want to, or still more to sit in an undesirable pew, and we are always willing that a newcomer should test for herself the desirability of any pew before she decides to rent it But when it comes to half a dozen ‘tests’ of the same pew, only to declare that she doesn’t like it, and followed by a half dozen more ‘tests,’ each of half a dozen different locations, it is tire­ some, to say the least, and one becomes suspicious of the woman’s intentions. Yet* that is what, well—more women than I should care to name make a practice of doing. They will come here, and with the greatest show of interest and enthusiasm will consult with one In authority about taking a pew. Be­ fore deciding upon one they wish to ‘try’ it, however, and by the process above described they go on and ‘try’ others. Such women sometimes suc­ ceed in thus getting a free sitting in the church for a whole year." An Impractical Selenflat. A new «toty is going the round. «t the expense ot u well-known «cienti«t ot Philadelphia, aaya tbe Record, wbo bu made a rpeeialty ot the itody ot pbvairi, and whose invention* are known from one end of tbe country to tbe other.

He tUted tbe bsrrel'up, poked wires through the open spigot to mike sure It was all right, and pottered around for a couple of hours without lory results. Then he gave up the job In disgust and sent for the man from whom he bad bought tbe apple juice,. -This Infernal elder must be as thick as paste," he said, when the expert arrived. “I can’t get a drop ftnoer bold Ui*» mr.

The varieties of fishes at'the Aqua­ rium number more than the tanks there, so it is necessary to double up some of them, putting more than one variety in a tank. One of the tanks thus stocked contains three moonfish from Gravesend bay. and four black­ tailed or blue-striped, grunts from the Bermudas, says the New York Sun. One of the regular articles of food on the Aquarium bill of fare is shrimps; pretty much of! fishes are fond of them. In summer, when shrimps are plentiful and easily obtained, they are fed more or less freely to all; in winter, when shrimps are scarce and difficult to ob­ tain, they are fed only to srUch fishes os need them for their well being, or that muet be pampered along to keep them. Of this last class are the moon­ fish; they must have shrimps, and shrimps are fed to them. The moonfish are lively and quick, but the hlack-tailed grunts in the same tank are livelier and quicker still. The grunts, if they couldn’t get anything better, would eat cut-up herring and pieces of clam, and do well on it; but they don’t eat such coarse food when they can get shrimps, as they can here. At feeding time they snap up food in­ tended for the moonfish as fast as tbe shrimps are put into the water, giving the moonfish next to no show at all. Th*s the black-tailed grunts are in great luck. They get their fill of shrimps daily, and not until they are satisfied do the moonfishes come in for their dally meal.

Its policy for years has been one of opposition, but it is an ungrate­ ful task to oppose the American move­ menu now so justly and grandly in progress. There are men in the demo­ cratic party who are wise and pa­ triotic enough to be unwilling to bar the progress of events. But these men find themselves opposed by the reac­ tionaries in their party. A conspicuous illustration is the democratic minority in the house of representatives. The democraU in the house decided to oppose Hawaiian annexation. But a number of the mem­ bers of that party refused to abide by the caucus decision. Then an attempt was made to whip the recalcitrant members into line, and to decide that the action of a caucus was binding upon every member of the party. But the attempt failed disastrously. The discord among the democraU in the house is shown b^the lack of loyalty to their nominal lender, Bailey, of Texas, an obstinate young man who has been compelled several times to endure the ignominy of seeing the reins taken from his hand at crises when cool-headed leadership was in demand. . The democratic state conventions now being held add.their testimony to the hopeless division In the party. Some democrats are disposed to dig Bryanism out of its suicidal grave and. as in Indiana, are endeavoring to re­ galvanize into life the dead cries of “free coinage of silver” and “tariff for revenue only.” They would recall the mjpory of the fact that the Chicago convention with its “sixteen to one” absurdity presented an unreal issue, and by its wearing of the livery and clasping the hand of populism drove from the ranks qf democracy its oldline lenders and followers. Bryan him­ self puts on the shoulder straps of a colonel that he may get a high enough position to talk about war and the war policies. The more up-to-date members of the democratic party realize that the mill will never grind with the water that has past, and they are ready to discuss war measures and the new questions that are teaching the people that we are on a world that is round and can be circumnavigated. But here again the democratic fatuity is shown in the position of obstruction that is taken. The congressional opposition to the war revenue bill is reflected in demo­ cratic platforms throughout the coun­ try, and ns war opens the door of na­ tional growth and development demo­ cratic voices, even as far apart as Bryan and Cleveland, unite in the cry “shut the door!” It is the old spirit that objected to Jhe war measures of thirty-odd years ago, and objected to the constitutional aud other reconstruction that grew out of those war measures. It is the voice of a party that is obstructive when it denies and destructive when It affirms. But this division in the democratic party emphasizes both tbe duty and the opportunity of republicans. The conventions of republicans that are being held show that the republican party is awake to its obligation and to its privilege. Loyalty to the admin­ istration and a cheerful readiness to enter the doors that open to larger uses for American ideals—these are the manifestations of a party spirit that is alive. Tbe formation of party lines in the view of the stirring evenU of to-dny assure the result of the Elec­ tions of three years—1898, 1899 and 1900. Tried and true men on platforms already marked out. in nation and in state—these will be the means to the desired result. , ! And meanwhile, unable to catch up to the American triumphal car, in which the republican party is riding, the democrats turn to fighting one an­ other in tbe road.—Troy Times. “Want me lo go to prayer-meetln’ with you, do you, M.riar?" wild Form­ er J exon. “Want me lo meet with 17 ,i,ter» tn' two weak-eyed, pigeon­ toed brother. >n' king praises. eh?

Factory after factory has moved to Muskegon, simply because the business men are bustlers and reach out for new Industries. The city possesses many advantages in the way of a fine harbor, one of the best on the lakes and deep enough to admit the large't vessels, and good railroad accom­ modations. * jn the summer time Muske­ gon Is a veritable summer resort, a cool, refreshing breeze coming from the laze at all times, while in the larger inland cities people sre sweltering in old Sol’s rays.

It shows an igzregtte ofX914 officers and men killed, wounded and missing The killed number 246, of whom 21 were officers; wounded, 1,584, of'whom 98 were officers, and missing 84, of whom none is an officer. Of the wounded only 68 have died. CoL Pope, the sur­ geon In chief, says this is a remarkably small number of fatalities, considering the large number of wonnded. In the field hospitals there has been a small number of septic wounds, and but two cases of gangrene have developed, one of which resulted fatally. States are only possible so far as the question of Cuba is concerned. To demand more would be to say that Spain must commit suicide. Thank* Shafter an< Mem. Washington.

The year 1897 will be distinguished is* meteorological records for its stom» of wind. Il may be doubted whethew anything more tremendous than thm hurricane which devastated a conaddecable part of Essex that year has everr been experienced, and very rerely we bad rougher times than we have gone through this mild winter. It is difficult to compare the present witlk the past In thia respect. The anemo­ meter waa invented in 1706, and every— • thing before that in the way of recordwaa necessarily very dubious aud unre­ liable. There are no means of judging how the great Essex storm last bu-j tumn, for instance,would compare witla ' the famous wtonn which swept the Ed­ dystone lighthouse away in 1703 ixa point of .velocity of wind. The mere de­ struction of property or life wotdd, <4? course, afford no criterion as to that. The Essex storm was curiously local its its effects, whereas the terrible visita­ tion of. 1703 seems to have involved lha whole country. It is said that by laa* and on sea immediately round oar­ coasts no less than 8;S0O ttves'were laato in that onie rftorm. In the valley of iba Severn 15,000 sheep were drowned; aadl in the county of Kent alone 17,000 tret*. by the roots. Such figures show- tbte widely extended violence of the 8torso, but they do not afford the means at judging of the actual power of tbs* wind. In tbe tropics it is said that It ft xwft an unusual-,thing in times of hurricorep for wind to travel at the rate of MB miles an hour. This is a velocity whSefia brings something like hslf s hundred­ weight to bear on every square foot cdf’ space in its way. That is reckoning di­ rect pressure, without computing any­ thing in the way of leverage, whirf* must, of course, often be exerted to an immense extent How nearly we sometimes approach, to the tropical standard it is difficult las eat recorded approximation was Khaw* by an anemometer at Liverpool in ISOL. This wns a foot pressure of 43 ponnfi*^ which would represent a velocity cf W. miles an hour or thereabout*. In tka early months of 1867 Lloyd’s anemo­ meter at the Royal exchange here ft* London showed 83 mile* an hour, whiefia. would give somewhere about 35 peunte to the square foot. The meteorological office reckons anything up to 34 xnifta an hour a “strong breeze.” Over that velocity it calls a “moderate gale*” to 40 miles an hour; a “fresh galeTlf blowing between 40 and 48 milts atx hour; a “strong gale” up to 56 mDe* and a “whole gaJe” for anything bc-tween that and G5 miles.

Moreover, it was very en­ couraging from a medical view, in that it showed, contrary to what had been expected, that there was little sick­ ness and scarcely any yellow fever in Santiago, but a great deal of suffering and distress. Following is the dis­ patch:. "Santiago de Cuba. July 17.—Adjutant General United States Army, Washington: I have the honor to Announce that the American fiag has been this Instant, 12 o’clock noon, hoisted over the house of the civil government in the city of Santi­ ago. An immense concourse of people pres­ ent. A squadron of cavalry and a regiment of infantry presenting arms and band playing national air. Light battery fired salute 21 guns. Perfect order is being main­ tained by municipal government. Distress is very great, but little sickness in town. Scarcely any yellow fever. A small gun­ boat and about 200 seamen left by Cervera have surrendered to me. Obstructions are being removed from mouth of harbor. Upon coming into the city I discovered a perfect entanglement of defenses. Fight­ ing as the Spaniards did the first day it would have cost 5.000 lives to have taken it. Battalions of Spanish troops have been depositlrg arms since daylight in the armory, over which I have guard. Gen. Toral formally surrendered the place and all stores at nine a. m. "W. R.

The president, after his return from church, had a conference with Sec­ retaries Alger and Long and Capt. Crowineshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, and n member of the naval board. It was stated after the meet­ ing that plans had been discussed for an aggressive movement, in which both army and navy will take part against Puerto Rico. Before going to the White house Secretary Alger had Ween in conference with Gen. Brooke for two hours. They had before them a large number of maps of Puerto Rico and the plana of campaign were dis­ cussed from every point of view. It is expected that Gen. Miles will go di­ rect from Santiago to Puerto Rico and that Gen. Stone and Col. Mlchler, of his staff, will leave from New York in a day or two on the Resolute, to join the general at Santiago. Secretary Long would not discuss the naval pro­ gramme except to say that active preparations are on foot for the next forward movement. “Blanco Bottled Up." Washington, July 18.—It is probable that Gen. Shafter will act as censor of Blanco’s dispatches to the Spanish government in the future. Shafter is in possession of the cable office In San­ tiago ..through which all of Blan­ co’s dispatches have passed. Blanco is cut off from communication with the outside world, and will be unable to send advices to his government un­ less he is willing to submit ty® dis­ patches to Gen. Shafter for approval. Blanco had full swing as long as San­ tiago was in possession of Toral, and, judging from his reports to Madrid, he achieved many great journalistic tri­ umphs. Buda-Pesth, July IS.—There is no truth in the announcement telegraphed to Paris by the correspondent here ot a newspaper of that city that Clara L.

The country finds itself in the midst of a war which is being indorsed by every polit­ ical convention, democratic as well as republican. This is a new experi­ ence for the American people. For the first time in its history the nation is a unit in approving and vigorously pros­ ecuting the war in which it has be­ come involved. Always before there has been, in time of war, as well as in advance of it, a peace-at-any-price party. Now that sentiment is con­ fined to collegiate senility.

Altgeld, Harrison, and a number of other free silver democrats of less prominence, held a state con­ vention at Springfield the other day and adopted a platform, so that the rank and file of tbs party may know what they are to believe for tbe next two years. According to the platform loyalty to the party during that peri­ od will consist in adherence to tbe doc­ trine that congress ought to change the money standard, so that tbe dol­ lar may have a purchasing power of only about 44 cents instead of 100 cents, and that br petroac|lve legislation con­ gress should compel those to whom 100­ cent dollars arc owing to take 44-cent dollars as equivalent. This is the doctrine preached by Bryan two years ago, and the Illinois democrat* are notified that they must be faithful to it or be denounced as traitors. But* while those democrats will be expected to obey the orders of the convention aud hurrah for free coinage, the platform fails to set forth any reason why they should indorse a policy which, if put into effect, would injure every one of them.

J The Tongan legend was heard by Mariner at the beginning of the cen­ tury, long before any white colonists resided in the Friendly islands, and although I have not been able to get the story direct from Fiji or Samoa. I have not the slightest doubt that voy­ agers, so hardy ns Japanese and Poly­ nesians are famous for having be^n in past centuries, must have had some foundation of fact on which to build so strange a tale. Its confirmation we have in the relation of the celebrated mis­ sionary, Dr. James Chalmers, of New Guinea. IT ore is the modern account of the woman’s island: "At Port Moresby I had heard of a woman’s land, a land where only wom­ en—perfect Amazons—lived and ruled. These ladies were reported to be ex­ cellent tillers of the soil, splendid canoeists in sailing or paddling and quite able to hold their own agahist attacks of the sterner sex, who some­ times tried to invnde their country. “To find so interesting a community war of great moment. As no part of the cottet from the East Cape to Port Mores­ by would be left unvisited by us, we were certain to come arrow the Ama­ zonian settlement. We beard that Mailiukolo (Toulon*) canoes with wom­ en were numerous, and some very large ones ..with women alone. In the early morning we were off tbe island, and soon ready to land. On crossing the reef we met two canoes, one with men and one with women. We signed to them to go to the vessel, while wc pulled up to t he large village an the north side. "As the boat touched the fine, hard sandy beach a man, the only being in sight, ran dawn and stood in front. I went forward to spring aahore, bqt he said I must not. Finding he knew the Daunai dialect, I said to him I must land, that I was a friend, and gave him a strip of red cloth and stepped ashore, when he ran away into tbe bush. "At our first approach I could only see this one roan, but now I saw hun­ dreds of grass petticoats on women standing under the houses. I could not see the upper parts of their bodies, only the petticoats and feet.

They ere too frail to go into a general emca*e«ent except by a quick dash, and all attempts of tbe kind In the present war have met with disaster. A pbase of tbe conflict Is reached In which we can send a strong squadron to the coast of Spain. Its business there will be to fixbt tbe best fleet tbe enemy ean organize; to adze a Spanish harbor for further operations; to capture ships, compel commercial lines to suspend and to strike at ail exposed points on tbe sea­ board. Unless Spain can defeat or drive off our squadron, tbe kingdom will be >n a condition of Mmi-bloekade. Nearly all the foreign trade of Spain Is conducted on tbe sea.

Maria Teresa, and two torpedo ■boat destroyers they doubtless are satisfied Chat the Maine has been remembered. Dewey must be contemplating To avoid these grave results Spain may decide to sue for peace before Commo­ dore Watson’s fleet can cross tbe ocean. The colonies would be surrendered with­ out extensive army operations. Sea power would then have decided tbe whole issue. It is necessary to bear in mind that the army campaign at Santiago waa designed to solve a naval problem. Tbe first necessity of tbe situation was to dispose of Cervera’a fleet. The approach of our land batteries forced the Spanish Admiral from hla place of refuge and sent him to his doom. That grest naval exploit, which will always fill a remark­ able page lu tbe world’s history. In turn lightened tbe task of tbe army. Spain has. no ships left to defend or supply her colonies. To relinquish them Is her ouly course. Havana, therefore, as a aequeb of the naval battle at Santiago, may fall without a shot, passing out of Spanish hands along with the whole of'Cuba, and Porto Rico as well. Tbe key lo this re­ sult is tbe complete mastery of the ocean against Spain. The fears of Cadiz, UweIona. Cartagena and tbe Canaries may settle the war. Sea power has not been overestimated. Elements of discontent will exist la Cuba after the Spanish flag comes down and »he Spanish troops are withdrawn, but the protectorate of tbe United States will manage affairs with a firm hand. Every Cuban seaport will be controlled by our navy and by sufficient garrisons. The Spanish volunteers who live on the island and tbe convicts organized as Spanish guerrillas are not comparatively numerous and will be under a crossfire calculated to bring them Into quick sub­ jection. Nearly all the native Cubahs want peace and a chance to build up tbe industries of tbe island. When the Span­ iards go. the fears of tbe timid will vanish and business men turn to the future with confidence.

After a lapse of twenty years tbe statute books contain another bankruptcy law signed by the President July 1. This new law Is tbe result of a compromise between widely divergent views as to tbe form the new bill should take. Some held that creditors should be given more protection In tbelr rights and others were insistent in upholding the rights of debtors. A conference committee chosen from tbe Senate and House took these various Ideas and embodied them in tbe present meas­ ure. Although oompetent critics say the measure Is by no means perfect, yet It Is hoped that It would be of material assist­ ance to many bankrupts aud at the same time serve to prevent much fraud in the betclement of tbe estates of those who have been forced Into bankruptcy.

Busum, however, which to, My» M*Durban, the greatest horse-breeding country in the world, ia the country where the horse ta both loved and appreciated. “I never in all my wanderings,” saya Mr. Durban, “arw a pony or ateed of any sort that seemed to be in a bad con­ dition through ill-caage. The droshky drivers of Moscow put our London cab­ men to ahame in this respect. They may abuse each other vociferously, they may cheat you roundly, but they never abuse their horses.” The supply of fine horses makes >t a constant luxury to travel in Russia. Tbe population is chiefly dependent upon the taracitass, or rough, partly hooded van. the telega, or country cart, the little droshky and the capital troika, or three-horse carriage. Nothing de­ lights a driver ao much as dashing along st headlong speed, with three spirited horses harnessed to a troika. With the whips cracking, the bells ringing, the driver singing at the top of his voice, the two outer horses flying off at an angle aa wide aa possible, the troika in full speed is a splendid sight. In Siberia tbe driving is so furious, the mountain roads being as rough as they are steep, that the traveler ia con­ stantly amazed at hto immunity from accident. A stranger experiences mixed feelings of wonder and alarm as the rough vehicle, chiefly made of pine and birch poles put together in the crudest manner, is positively hurled into the air and down again during the deacent into a valley that is approached by a corduroy road. The drivers keep their horses scru­ pulously clean, however they them­ selves may revel in dirt. It ia curious to enter a miserable little shabby droshky and note that the horse which draws it to a really beautiful animal, plump, sleek and evidently petted. There must assuredly be a good^We to Russian character, or the people would not be as fond as>they are of their horses and their children.

France, fame, Napoleon’s wrath, all were forgotten, and Jerome proposed and was accepted. Tbe French consul at Washington, when he heard of it, was beside himself with terror. Napoleon might visit his wrath upon him. He went to Baltimore and begged Jerome to abandon his purpose. But it was of no avail. Tbe marriage took place, being solemnized by the Catholic Archbishop Carroll. The subsequent separation of the couple, the second marriage of Jerome, and his elevation as king of Westphalia is an old.jjld tale. * Of course we don’t refer to ‘'False Teeth.1’ but we do mean to say we will supply you with Thresh­ ing Machine Teeth for 5 cnata each, and they II fit all kinda of Threshera too.

Hear Admiral Dewey will bombard the fartificmrirm4 of Mwnils by the end of this week, provided sion immediately. The First.regiment is already in the field atParanaque, two miles from Manila. The Spaniards are reported to have been buoyed up by the hope that the Cadiz fleet, due here on the 16th, would arrive soon, but the news of the- destruction of Admiral Cervera’s squadron, brought yesterday by the Japanese cruiser Nanaiwa, may lead them to surrender. The insur­ gents are constantly harraasing the Spaniards on both sides of the city, but they are checked by the trig-guns of the Malate and' Santa Misa forts. The second detachment of the Amer­ ican expeditionary force arrived in ex­ cellent condition, though four died on the voyage. The Spaniards now say they do not believe the recnforeementa promised them will ever reach here and they despair of success. But they condemn the proposal to retire to the citadel, which is utterly defenseless, as such a step will merely invite slaughter. Therefore, they believe it would be bet­ ter to surrender, though fearing pub­ lic censure. . However, they will prob­ ably be compelled to surrender soon, as food is dangerously scarce. They may pretend to fight the Americana for the sake of appearances, but the result will not be long in doubt if Ad­ miral Dewey resolves to capture Ma­ nila with the forces he has at his dis- Will R.

If President McKinley had followed in the footsteps of President Cleve­ land a perfect cyclone of indignation would have swept over, the country. Tbe democratic press would have found the English language all too feeble to express their wrath, and the republican press would have recog­ nized tbe justice of the indignation. Yet there was no more excuse for syn­ dicating the Cleveland than the Mc­ Kinley bonds. There was a popular demand for both. The republican press took the same position then in favor of giving the people a chance that it did in this latter Instance. The same arguments, substantially,-, were used in’both cases. The democratic press was indifferent, and by ac­ quiescence shared with Cleveland re­ sponsibility for that syndicate. The .popular feature was even a greater success than reported when the time for subscription closed. That date of closure was the 14th inst., and a~ Washington dispatch of the 18th states that since the 14th nearly 20,000 sub­ scriptions have been received. Some of them were delayed in the transmis­ sion and will be accepted: others were too late. Subscriptions to the amount, of $500 or less will absorb fully $100,­ 000,000 of the bonds, or one-half of the whole. The other half will nearly, if not quite, be absorbed by subscrip­ tions under $5,000 in amount. Th^ .en­ tire loan is thus distributed to indi­ vidual subscribers in small lota. (, As a matter of course some of these subscriber# acted as agents, no doubt, Sutton**. for others who furnished the money, ■ WUTWAKD. ’ !fc.iu.|p ni.lp.m |p.QaHTt.X“*....................i H.40 Ilt57| 8.20 1-OB but such cases form at most only an I) K.

It is ex­ plained that this word mean* earth, air atad sky, and comes from s language used before the flood. This is the sacred book of the colonists and is called a new Bible. Dr. Newbrough and others ew tablished the colony for the purpose of carrying out, the ideas *et forth in “Oahspe." Dr. Tanner, famous for his 40-days1 fast, was one of its first memberA and resided at Shalem for a time. At present it contains few adult*, and the main efforts of the colonists are de­ voted to gathering orphans and other homeless children and bringing them up in their religion, so as to regenerate the earth by a new and purer race. The children are restricted to two meals a day. and are not allowed to eat ineat. They are all quite young, and at present number 25. ineluding a negro boy. They are scantily clothed most of the year, never wearing hats, nnd even in January frequently going barefoot. The farm is held in tri^t for them and will be turned over tq them when they become of age. The farm is intended to be worked on the cooperative plan, as the Shalemites are socialistic in their ideas and aim at the abolition of the competitive system. At present, owing to the small number of adults, most of the work-is done by hired .help. This has proved a great blessing to the Mexicans of .

Banka and corporations were denounced, and it was made to appear that the operation of the free coinage of silver would in some way injuriously affect these institutions to the advantage of the classes sought to be arrayed against them. The greater producers and large em■ jfipyers of labor were included in the list of interests against which appeals were made and prejudice created, and it was made to appear that sb peculiar and so discriminating would be the operation of a law providing for tbe free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to' 1 that while the small producers would be benefited the great producing corporations and iron kings and lumber lorona, as they chose to term them, -.would have their profits Jimited and -lemeDed, and that while th^ income of the employer ot labor would be curtailed through a free silver system the wages of his employees would be prom pt ly increased. , If it is thought by any reader of this review of free coinage assertions that it la in the least degree exaggerated or overdrawn, permit me to call his.attentian to the leading and more especially to the clotting features of the campaign of 1896 in behalf of the free coinage of silver. Is it not true that denunciation of banks and corporations formed the principal theme of free silver orators and free silver editors? Was it not urg­ ed by professional labor agitators before labor organizations and to laboring men whenever addressed that the adoption’ of free coinage would bestow upon them advantages over their employers which they had not l>efore possessed? One of the important purposes of my visit to Mexico, where the'free and un­ limited coinage of silver is now and has been in operation since the mint was first established in 1887, was to learn if possible by observation and inquiry, rel­ ative to the practical effects of that sys­ tem what grounds existed for appeals to workingmen in behalf of such a change in the currency laws of the United States and what reasons existed in fact for any expectation that work­ ingmen aud small producers would be* benefited rather than injured through such a change. , I shall not seek to create prejudice against the coinage system of Mexico through mere presentation of the fact that the men and women who are the daily toilers here are Mie poorest paid laborers on this continent if not in any civilized section, of the entire globe. But I desire to state just here that to the continuance of the free and unlimit­ ed coinage of silver by Mexico is due tbe loss to the workingmen of this coun­ try of more than half the value of their daily earnings. Had Mexico coined its own silver and upheld its value through establishing and maintaining the redemption priv­ ilege, as has been done by almost every civilized nation on the globe, the Mexthan double tbe quantity of food or cTotbing his wages will dow command. This burden of low by reason of adher­ ence uu the part of Mexico to a mone­ tary standard wbiah is as completely a thing of the past aa the brass candle­ stick or the tallow dip has fallen almost entirely on the ahouldera of the laborers of Mexico, and it is being borne by them today. The government of Mexico, which is a government of and for tha influential and wall to do abeoffxtejy, finds meansof profitiag through the fre« coinage of silver. Capitalists and cor- tor, bat tb, anJortuntoe trea whom au their extra preOta ooms, the Ireera from trhom all othare are gaining, are tlw la­ boring men and their women and chil­ dren. Nor .14 this result of the tree coin­ age ol silver M all unique or peculiar to Mexico.

In the ranie issue of The Mexican Fi­ nancier, publislitid in this. city, in which reference is made to the enter­ (tainment of Mr. Bryan on the occasion ,of. bis recent visit here, it is stated that “a combination of French capitalists dm been formed for the purpose of man­ ufacturing shoes and leather goods for tele in Europe, calculating to realize a gubstantiai profit from the employment of cheap Mexican labor upon a silver basis and selling their product for gold. ’ ’ -Will the workingmen of the United States take notice of the fact that “cheap labor’’ and a “diver baste’’ are terms which permstently go together, here, and cheap labor would necessarily accompany a silver basis wherever the latter was established? The adoption of free coinage of silver in the United States would not repro­ duce in our country all the conditions in existence in Mexico today, but it would create there one currency valuation in which to pay for labor and another in which to count cost and secure profits. In The Mexican Financier of January occurs this sentence: Hera, then, in • definite statement by ■ very conservative man. wh«w addreroes on oriental matters we have often quoted, to the effect that India, like Mexico, is profiting industrial­ ly by lhe combination of silror and cheaply paid labor. other country'.

The president and bis cabinet are giv­ ing serious consideration as to wbat.la to be done with Cuba. It la realized that even if the Spanish forces were to be withdrawn at once an army of occupation would have to be maintained there for months, and perhaps for years. Tbe campaign in Santiago has brought out one fact very clearly, and that is that the withdrawal of military protection from tbe Spanish inhabitants of the island would result In scenes of disorder and oppressions fally equal to those which ex­ cited the sympathy of the United States when the Cubans were the oppressed, and which was the prime cause of Interference on the pait of this country. An army of occupation will be expensive for tbe United Stater. Tbe number of men that will have to be kept under arms In Cuba can.be only be guessed at.

Last year 39,689 marriage* were made in London, and the Humber is probably,rmple. The birth rate, too, is on the down grade, tbe turn in this department be­ ginning about 1895, and continuing un­ til now. Last year births were moat numerous in the combined eastern dis­ tricts and lowest in the western, and we notice, furthermore, ‘.hat, although tbe fewest-children were born in the western part of London, more infants died there than hi any other group of districts.

Mike Hendershott of Baltimore enjoys the distinction of having known Gen. Shafter when be was a young man at Galesburg. Mich., away back In 1856 and ’69. The Banner man recently In­ terviewed Like, who spoke about as fol­ lows: •‘At that time Shafter was kuowufar and wide as “Bill” Shafter. There were three of the Shatter bojs, Bill, Jim and John. BHi was about 2D years old and was a harum-scarum sort of a fellow, very fond of all /thletic sports snd ready at any time for a light or a foot race. His great sp^lally In the line of sports was wrest­ ling, and as a “side-hold” wrestler be was pever thrown that. 1 know of. or ever heard of. “Galesburg in 1838 was about the sporti­ est town there was anywhere, ami at tbe head of tbe sports stood Bill Shafter. He wgs.n kind hearted, good natured. genial, jolly fettow. and never sought trouble or got Into trouble unless he was forced Id, but when he wa» once in then look uut. He was a “stayer” and you couldn’t lick him. I never knew ot his fighting while 1 was there because everybody bad sort of learned chat be was a good man to let alone. 1 remember one time of a big strapping fellow from l.eRoy, N. Y., coming to Galesburg and boasting of his ■bUltlek as a wrestler, and bow be could do everybody up, and was willing to pot up money that be could do It. All the other fellows bn ng back and sent for Bill. He came and bet the fellow 85.00 that he could throw him side hold. Bill wan’t afraid of anybody, and would give any man a tussel for his money, no matter how tall be was or bow much he weighed. At that time be would weigh about 160 pounds, and the other fellow a good deal more. They got fight out In tbe middle of the street and the big crowd formed a ring around ’em and they went at It it wasn’t any time bardly before Bill dumped him square on his back, and not very light either, and took the 810. The money didn’t last very long though for the old hotel was right close by r od they had a bar in IL Everybody bad to come up, but they was all used to it In Galesburg io those days.” “Tbe picture of Shafter’s house at Chatstmas* photograph gallery is a good one and looks very natural. It used to be a .great place for people to gather and tbe yard often used to be fairly filled with people. Tbe eld folks were very pleasant and tbe boys. Bill especially, was full of life. Little did we think then that he would ever be Major General Shafter.' ...

Washington, Aug. 13.—The president has issued the following proclama­ tion: , "By the President of the United States ct America—A Proclamation: Whereas, By a protocol Concluded and signed Au­ gust 12. 1188. by William R.

I. William McKinley, president of the United States, do. In ac­ cordance’ with the stipulation of the pro­ tocol, declare and proclaim on the part of the United States a suspension of hostili­ ties. and do hereby command that Orders be immediately given through the proper channels to the commanders of.the military arid naval forces of the United States to abstain ffom all acts inconsistent with this proclamation. “In witnyss whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Shafter were identical with the to names. As the order »rates, further instructions will be sent 1o each general. Gen. Merritt will be directed to confer with the Spanish commandant at Manila to carry out the terms of the protocol, and to oc­ cupy Manila immediately. Gen. Mlles will put himself in communication with the chief authority in Puerto Rioo for the purpose of having Spanish forces turn over Son Juan and other points to him preparatory to evacuation. Owing to coBditions in Cuba, the or­ ders to Gen. Shafter to be sent here­ after will be much different than those to other generals. In accordance with the proclama­ tion issued by the president suspend­ ing hostilities, orders were issued to the naval comronnders at the several stations in the United States, Cuba and the Philippines carrying into effect the directions of the proclajnation. The nary department not only transmitted the president’s proclamation in full to the several commanders in chief, but also directions as to the disposition of their vessels. The following ordere Are in that sense self-explanatory: “Navy Department, Washington, Aug. 11 —Sampson, Santiago: Suspend all hostili­ ties Blockade of Cuba and Puerto Rico Is raised.

Peace with the United States will only be a momentary respite from our misfortune.” El Liberal saya the article in the protocol relating to the Philippine* does not indicate that anything too good for Spain will be fixed upon, and the question will not be settled favora­ bly for her. ’ . ' El Globo (ministerial) pines for peace between Spain and the Unitfed States and says the communications on eastern questions which Day and Cambon have signed begin the flr^t chapter in a new history of Europe. El Tiempo (conservative) says: “Peace is an accomplished fact. The bitterness of defeat does not prevent us from seeing with satisfaction the ,end of the war." London, Aug. 15.—The Madrid cor­ respondent of the Daily Mail saya: The comments of the press on the pro­ tocol are a veritable funeral hymn on the destraction of the Spanish colonial empire. Some days ago the desire for peace made the people close their eyes to the price, but now, upon reading the protoepi, they realize that the cost is the loss ot that empire which Spain had conquered with so much glory, and that Spain now falls to the second rank among nations. The public mind is stunned, and there is general mourn­ ing. floods came two t ears ago, an opening was marie by the surging waters which carried off all the water of this Jake when the floods subsided.

This year Mills & Halley have a crop of corn on about 1,000 nct;esof this land. They sowed the corn broadcast like wheat, and the stalks are as strong as saplings, and scores ot “shootsf* are also loaded down. “It is the* most remarkable corn crop ever- produced in the world," declared Prof. Cox. and, to make the story even more interesting, he ended it by de­ claring thai a “coon” was caught be­ tween the stalks, and, being unable to extricate itself because, they were so thick, was killed by those who came upon it.

How her churchea •nd palaces on the hilltop* and slope­ might be overturned upon the houses and palaces between her hills! • With anything like the same destructive force aa in 1755, Lisbon would dow be rendered a sceneof aJmost irredeemable chaos, and tbe loss of life would, of course, be appalling. But these ar*, one may hope, mere dreams inspired by tbe skeleton ribs of the church of tbe Carmo on one of the city’s hilltops. The 'earthquake wrecked thia church, like so many others, and it is preserved as a ruin, says Chambers’ Journal. Some one estimated tbe loss of prop-, erty here in the earthquake at £536,­ 300,000. The figures do not- seem mod­ est, when ooe rcmeml>ers that Portugal waa then a rich country. They iracludc also the solid little sum of £4,000,000, the value of the king’s diamonds, which went with one of the royni palaces.

PROPRIETORS ’ NO OLD MAIDS THERE. In Greece it is considered an ever­ lasting disgrace to remain an old maid. Girls are- betrothed often when still tiny babies. Marriages of love are absolutely un­ known—even more so than in France. And the father is most particular that the intended husband mustbave an am­ ple provision to support a wife and fapiily. For the girl a dowry fe not so important as in Prance,.bpt a certain amount of linen ahd-household furni­ ture is required. The whole training and education of a Greek girl is simply a preparation’to render her brilliant in the society of the great world. Her toilet is a. subject of constant anxiety. Although most Greek girls are natur­ ally very pretty, they begin to paint and powder from a ver* early age— cheeks bright red. eyebrows a/d lashes deepest black and veins delicately bine. The result is. that she is a withered old woman a£ 40, and .nowhere are uglier women to" be found than beneath the blue skies of lovely Greece. Next in importance to beauty comes languages. Every Greek family who can afford it keeps a French nurse or maid, and French is universally spoken in society. Painting and music are quite unnecessary, but jgirls are care­ fully trained in dancing and drilled to enter a room and sit down with ele­ gance. Lastly, household duties are taught—hoyv to make rose jam. Turkish coffee and various delicate sweetmeats.

The electric ligh\ on the lofty frame­ work of great modern buildings under construction is now a familiar sight, says the New York Sun. The work goes on at night as well as by da$, so that, with its new building completed, the valuable land shall as soon as possible again be made productive; It is common uow in busy streets to do work that involves tearing up the street pavements, on underground pipes, wires, and so on, at might; so that the work may be done with the least in­ terruption to traffic, and.with the great­ est facility as far as the work itself is concerned. And nowaday? work on new pave­ ments is carried on at night, to hurry it to completion; simply to save time. It may be, for example, that in a residence street two shifts of men are employed in laying an asphalt pavement, and the work goes right on continuously, day and night. One might look (town this quiet street at three o’clock in the morn­ ing and see the men at work by the flaring naphtha torches, and the big steam roller moving back and forth just the same as at three o’clock in the after­ noon. A V On occasion work on gaa trenches and other street work is nowadays kept right on at night And all these things are in keeping with the greht modern tendency to- save time; to utilize every minute and to waste nothing. ■5.*—> — w — - ------ ----A Btory gocu the round, that a few day* ago Mr. Caalmtr-IIrter and hla aon. while cycling between Sen. and Monterean. .topped ntarlllage Inn aiKlaMorf for lunch.

Porwles, of Seattle, who are behind the enterprise, are gathering dogsP in Chicago, St. At the Front with Gen. Wilson's Col­ umn, Five Miles Beyond Coamo, Puerto Rico, Aug. 12 (Delayed in transmis­ sion).—Gen. Wilson moved otae._ Lan­ caster battery out to the front this afternoon for tbe purpose of shell­ ing the Spanish position on the crest of the ^mountain, at the head of the pass, through which the road winds. The enemy occupied a position of great natural strength, protected by seven lines of entrenchments and n battery of two howitzers. The Span­ iards were eager for the fray, and earlier in the day had fired upon Col. Biddle, pf the engineer corps, who with a platoon of troop C, of New York,"was reconnoitering on their right flank. As our battery rounded a curve In the road 2,000 yards away the enemy opened an artillery and in­ fantry fire. Four companies of the Third Wisconsin, which were posted on the bluffs to the right of the road, were not permitted to respond to the Infantry fire. • Batteries Fight Nobly. The guns advanced at a gallop In the face uf a terrific fire, were unlimbered, and were soon hurling common shell and shrapnel at the enemy at a lively rate, striking the emplacements, bat­ teries and entrenchments with the rhythmic regularity of a triphammer The enemy soon abandoned one gun, but cantinuedyto serve the other at in­ tervals for ovenan hour. They had our range, and their shrapnel burst re­ peatedly over our men. One shell burst, the fragments killing Corp. Swanson, of company L, atad seriously wounding Corp. Yanke find Privates Bunce and Vonght. Capt. Lee and Pri’ rate Biter, of company F, were wounded by Mauser bullets. In about two hours the enemy abandoned the other gun, and the men began to flee from the en­ trenchments toward a banana grove in the gorge. Our guns shelled them as they ran. One gun was now ordered to advance to a position a quarter of a mile fur­ ther on. It had just reached the new position when Spanish infantry re­ enforcements filed into the trenches and fired down a deadly fire upon our men. compelling the bat­ tery to retire at a gallop. Then both the enemy's howitzers reopened and shrapnel screamed and Mauser* sang. Another gun galloped from the rear, but our ammunition was ex­ hausted. LieuL Haines was shot in the body by a Mauser just before his gun retired, the ball following a rib. The orders issued for two companies to advance were countermanded and the firing soon ceased.

This year those republicans take a forward step and assume a po­ sition they .were riot ready to take in 189C. The state convention adopted a money plank denouncing “sixteen to one” because ft would “debase our money and destroy our private and. public credit and cause general busi­ ness disaster.” The concluding sen­ tence of the plank is as follows: ■'We recognise the necessity of compre­ hensive and enlightened monetary legis­ lation, and believe that the declaration m the St Louie national republican platform for the maintenance.of tbe gold standard and the parity of all our forms of money should be given the vitality of public law, and the money of the American jfcupie should be made, like all its Institutions, tbe beat In tbe world." This la a recognition of the fact that the existing laws, which make United States bonds payable' in "coin” and the legal tender notes redeemable in “coin,” must be amended by requiring those payments and redemptions to be rJkde in “gold coin.” When that ha* been done there will be no question and no difficulty about the' mainte­ nance of.the gold standard. The whole world will understand that the United States is committed definitely and ir­ revocably to the world’s money stand­ You have seen the woman who jerks her head as she walks, I suppose? The habit is not uncommon, and on close ac­ quaintance .you will find that a woman bo afflicted ia given to fickleness. She trifles a little too much with love*, and is just the woman to miss a good hus­ band and be sorry afterward, says the Boat on Traveler. The quiet man will never be happy with the woman who digs her heels into the pavement and scurries along as if she .were running a race. She is busi­ ness-1 ike and moat likely the woman to succeed in trade affairs, but her man­ ner is one of those simple things that worry the quiet man to death. The girl who cannot walk without skipping Is a very .cheerful girl and en­ joys life with much the same gusto as the girl with an elastic step who tips on her toes at every stride. But perhaps the girl we like most is*the girl with the brisk, musical walk, who loves to peep for a moment into shop windows and then walk briskly on, and who .goes tiibugh life with the fixed resolve of getting the moat pleasure out of every­ thing. _________________ 8lr«*L Battle Creek o. the Chicago Ophthalmic Collage.)

Ptnxham:—It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that It may induce others to avail themselves of your val­ uable medicine. “After the birth of my little girl,' three years ago, my health was very poor. I had lencorrhoea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had hsadache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men­ struations were very profuse, appear­ ing every two weeks. “ I took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I waa becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I' sent at once for a bottle of Lvdia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­ pound, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle J felt so much better that I senator two more. After using three bottlis I felt as strong and well as any one. . •• I think it b the best medicine for female weakness over advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet suf­ fering from this trouble.” Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to aH expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained.

Besides these freaks of tbe In thia war the victories of the treasury department have not been leas significant than those won-on the sea and land. In fact, they are just as essential and just as brilliant, though of course they are not theatrical nor melodramatic. By reason of thia they might escape attention were it not the part of a newspaper to be just in praise and quick to give credit where credit is due. Up to this time almost 1100,000X^0 in cash has been paid out on account of the war. This is not to be looked upon aa the cost of the war, for it is diffi­ cult to draw the line between ordinary and extraordinary expenses. But the expenses over the same time last year have increased about 175,000,000. So It is fair to infer this represents the cost ef the war thus far. Two-thirds of thia Is chargeable to the war depart­ ment and one-third to the naval de­ partment. But there are other expenses, which do not show in the cash expenditure^, in the way of large sums due on con­ tracts not yet complete. Thia would swell the total materially over the million a day that ha* gone out thus far. As large as this sum seems, it will be much larger when the whole army is in the field, fcs the expenses there are much'greater than while in camp. But this outgo, enormous a* it Is, hu been easily met. and there will be no pinch for months to come. Within a few days the M00.000.000 loaned by the people will begin -to pour in. In addi­ tion. the increased receipts from in­ ternal revenue will be felt almoat it*, mediately, and this will be no mean sum. It may reach 115,000.000 a month, though this estimate seems too HberaL In any event the treasury is well forti­ fied for a few months at least. It is thus seen bow brilliant is the victory worth ealebratta*. for on its work all the rest depend. A big fat ’• Tb<”“>'Pw. Kuo."**' , Slnwioo et al tiMto* **■ BortJo*- fartel we 45. Birrr Cbarle.

Thi* j'ustlon of uniform text-books was iir< voted upon only CT votes being cast. Of th< -e fa were in favor of adopting uulturtsi :ext-books and 19 opposed. Supt. J. E. M-alley of the city schools explained some advantages to be derived from the adoption ’ of free-text books, quoting from the reports nf school superintendents In several Michigan cities where the system Is in 7ogpe and which without exception favor the system. By the tlme'Sup. Mealley Sosed-tUs remarks several more bad cotnr into the meeting and the balloting pomEer.eed. When all had voted the bal­ lots were counted and thd proposition to adopt free text-books was found to have earrM by a vote of 30 tq 26. The new system will not go Into effect until a yeax from this coming September so that those Interested in 4be sale of books at present will not be inconvenienc­ ed by any arrangements necessary to the adoptioe of tree-text books.

Mlles to San Juan, Porto Rico, but plans were changed after being out two days, and we made for the southwest coast to a small village called Ponce. where we arrived on tbe 25th. Landed all the troops, having no trouble, and left there at 1:30 m m. on the 26th for here, arriving at 3J3O.p. m. the same day. It is a very pretty lalarM. one of the prettiest I have seen out of the whole group. The town, which Is called by the Derives Charlotte Amelia, is situ­ ated at the foot of the hills, and on the southern coast. Aa you enter the harbor y<m Tre stiuck with tbe grand scenery. This is,tbd wet season and everything Is beautiful. This. Island is thirteen miles long and three wide and is somewhat rocky. Tbe natives are mostly negroes. T. ’ieie an: a few people from the state* and Mime (Janes, but both black and white are always glad to see an American war ship enter the harbor. It belongs to Denmark toutd guess it will soon belong to us, for United States Is trying to buy It for a coaltag station. It is a Mrange sight to see the women coaling tbe ships here, but they get along as well as men and do not seem to mind it. No one seems to be lazy and they seem to be a very thrifty people. We took DMW tons of coal on board here and the natives did if all te two and one-half days. Tbe Governor sold ns the coal, providing tbe natives eoaied tbe ship, as It is about tbe only way they have of making a living, but 1 never eaw a cleaner place, tbe streets are kept In excellent condition. I was ashore yeeterdsy and bought a few things wbtefa ‘1 needed. The boys from the ships were royally treated, we were welcomed by everyone. We leave this a.Vn. at seven, it is just two a. tn. now.

Fox the first time in the parade the battleship* drew together. Just at the point of return there was a momentary lull, as If expectant of the Bolvta te D«ad Haro. Suddenly, from the sides and turrerte of the battleships there was a vivid flash; following this a tremendous roar announcing the flrat gun of the national salute. The heavy smoke curled and tumbled down towards the waver and up into the air until the ships had been almost hidden, but the to rock the waters themselves. ' It was an imposing spectacle as the big bat­ tleships boomed a salute to the na­ tion; as the warships saluted the final resting place of Gen. Grant, and the guns that sounded the knell of Admiral Cervera's ships at Santiago boomed a reverential obeisance to the dead hero. .. The salute ended, the return of the squadron along the line of review was begun..

August 13. by the combined land and naval forces. At nine o’clock in the morning the fleet opened fire at Malate fort and the Spanish trenches. The tire con­ tinued for two hours,, with no rexponoe on the.fleet, but a heavy fire on the Troops. The formal surrender' occurred in the afternoon. The Span­ ish flag was replaced by a 40-foot Amer­ ican flag, the fleet giving the national salute. Seven- thousand prisoner* were token with 12,000 rifles and um limited ammunition.

Mere ritt dontaining the news of the sign­ ing of the protocol and the proclama­ tion declaring a cessation of hostilities were received by them on the 16th, four days after tbe agreement had been made with Spain and three days after thefall 6f the city of Manila. There is one thing that the dispatch makes certain, and Ahat te that the fall of Manila occurred without the •lightest knowledge on the part of Dewey and Merritt that a peace proto­ col had been signed by Spain and the United States, so that the contention cf Premier Sagasta that the surrender of the city, coming after the signinr of the protocol. Is null and void, is the sheerest'nonsense. .

The news of the4*rmiM»o^ arrived on the' 16th. It B feared that the Americans may re­ store tbe Philippines to Spain and thus reinaugurate a fresh period of tryare ny, extortion and rebellion.

Cheers and shouts of welcome rose from every deck and the boat** whistles all joined in the shouts of welcome. Suddenly there was a/move­ ment on the flagship New York as the big ship started forward with a slow, stately glide. She was immediately followed by the other six vessels in the following order: Iowa, Indiana, Brooklyn. Massachusetts Oregon, Tex4s. It was soi^e time before the ships eould get Into review formation, but by the time the New York’s prow came in line with Governor's island the other ships bad formed in a regular tne. The start wu accompanied by tre­ mendous cheering, screeching voice* and booming cannon. From Castle i William came the first salute. It was merely a flash of bright red. which was Immediately smothered in a sheet of smoke before any detonation was heard. Then came the roar across the waters/and the ships beaded right In the river on the way to Gen. Grant’s tomb. AU .along the line, on piers, on sheds, houses and every possible point of van­ tage people were packed. Th* river craft, crowding the warships close, were jammed with passengers, sinking "lihe sides of the vessels almost to their gb&rd rail* on one side, giving the impression that even the ships them­ selves bowed in unconscious salute to the returned naval beroea. The widthof the Hudson river was a struggling, fluttering, darting mass of color, con­ fusion and cheers. As the grim-lookIng battleships moved up the river the crowds became denser, and the en­ thusiasm was more marked. At Riv­ erside drive, with its steep, graaay slope, the scene was like a vast amphi­ theater. Tens of thousands of per­ sons covered the green slopes, and as the battleships approached, a mighty cheer arose that reverberated back *nd forth across the Hudson. h\. the bottom of the »iope an obser­ vation train crawled ioxily along, kweptag even with the ahipa, above thte th* uaai, lots.

The statements made by Mr. Bryan soon after his return home from his leather by the Dlngiey law would In­ crease the'prices of boots and shoes, going to explain the facts that all grades of boots and’shoe? are selling at less prices today than they sold at under tbe lbw tariff Wil­ son law? Tbe quotations of the Shoe, and Leather Reporter, an accepted authority, show that practically all grades of shoes are wholesaling at lower rates today than they were January 1, 1897* not a single one in the entire list showing any advance since that time. The money In circulation In tbe United States today is much more ttun at any period Id the history of tbe country. Tbe highest sum named la tbe official reports of the Treasury Department, which give the figures for July 1st of each year/ls 81,660,808.708 on July 1, 1894, while Its figures show tbe circulation on April 1, 1898, to be 81,756,058.605. Tbe gold In tbe country has increased nearly 8130,000.000 since the adoption of the Chicago platform and tbe total coin In circulation has beea Increased 8346,838,­ 445, and all this despite the assertions that our circulating medium could not increase without foe free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1.

Wherever he went he was met by goveminent bands and feasted and flattered by government officials and representa­ tives of Mexican investment interests. He refers to the laboring classes of Mex­ ico, but what he rays of them shows he found out nothing about them. He was extravagantly entertained in Mexioo. and he returns the favor by an extrava­ gant misrepresentation of conditions u he could have found them if he had tried to find, out the truth about them. ” Whatever may lie true of the conduct­ or’s explanation as to the statements made by Mr. Bryan, certain it is that some of the more important of them sbear little or no relation to the condi­ tions they assume to present In m/* reference to these statements, however, I will not present individual contradic­ tion or personal denial, but will make use of the authorities which Mr. Bryan himself would probably have accepted, evffli though he might not have desired to make use of them-. More than ordi­ nary intercut attaches to Mr. Bryan’s statement coaceniing Mexico because of his position as the accepted leader of the free silver factions of the United States, in which interest his views were evidently induced, and because of his unqualified statement that what he had seen and learned in Mexico would add to his effort to secure the adoption of the Mexican free silver system, by the American people. This statement was made by Mr. Bryan: . My observation aa well m ray reason leads rae to believe that tbe, um> of ailver has been of material advantage to Mexico, and I am more than ever convinced that the bmt infere»tM of our ix»ople demand the immediate reatoration ot the tree and unlimited coinage of gold and Oliver at the present legal ratio of Ifi to 1 with­ out waiting for the aid or conoent of any other nation. . Mr. Bryan’s personal interest in the matter involved evidently Has much to do with the formation of his opinion as to what is far “the best interests erf our people. ” Mr. Bryan further says: The free coinage of silver is entirely Manufac­ tory to the people of Mexico. They have had a chance to t«Mt their system thoroughly and to,compare it with the ayatemt.of the Cnlted States, England, France and' Germany, and I find no disposition either among tha officials or among the people to favor ibc gold stand­ ard. TTje federal government pays about W,OJO.OOU annually on gold obllgatfana, ahd. while It la compelled to collect over tl2,aXUKX) in sil­ ver to cover this Interest account, it hainodlfficulty in doing ao becaaite of the prosperous condition of tbe nation's industries. Mr. Bryan’s reference to “the people of Mexico” and his suggestion as to comparison with the United States and other countries would bo amusing if the subject waa less serious .in view of the fact that “the people of Mexico" are in the most unsatisfactory condition of any of tbe civilised nations on the globe, judged by any of tbe elements of life which civilisation would accept as aatisfactorj. They are the poorest paid, the poorest Uothed. the poorest housed and fed of any of tbe people of the lead­ ing nations of the world. Although Mexioo had what historians refer to as an advanced civilisation before the United States government was formed there ve today 30 states of the Union either of which surpasses all of Mexioo in aooumulated wealth, industrial, ag­ ricultural and commercial importance and in every respect sare population, natural reamroes and extent of territo- . ably the determining factor in the prob­ lem as to whether or not Mexioo should visit to Mexico vary so widely from the actual facts as they exist today, ad­ xnitted and known by all, regardless of That the Dlngiey law is working tw tbe advantage of tbe formers in tbe reduction of ifoportation of tbe class of articles which they produce, as wefi as tbe lo^creased prices which they obtain through increased demand for tbelr products, is shown by the fact that tbe importation of articles of food and live animals in tbe । month of January 1898, under tbe Dingley । How are the free traders, who insisted that tbe new dhtles placed upnu hides and was given careful consideratiou before tbe conclusion was reached that Mexico should continue to stand by stiver.

The free coin­ age of silver in Mexico with its attend­ ant results can exist only until those wants are developed which are at the basis of civilisation. The children ed­ ucated in the public schools will not endure the effects of free silver as their fathers have endured them. J Mr. Bryan says the Mexican dollar will buy almost as much as it would in 1878, and hu refers to a yard of cloth which could have been bought with a Mexican dollar in 1878, now increased in price to 82.10, with transportation and tariff added, as an Illustration of the bad effects of the monetary standard of the outside world rather than that of Mexico. But with the silver in which this cloth price is to be paid now being profitably produced for from 80 to 40 cents per ounce, measured by the same gold standard of value as is the cloth, whereas in 1878 silver was held by its producers at 81.08, his illustration be­ comes u mere childish play upon words with evident desire to deceive. He says that wages are higher on an average in Mexico than ever before aud still rising. I have a Mexican publica­ tion before me which quotes from an official report addressed to the Belgian department of foreign affaire to the effect that labor, in the most profitable investing and producing districts of Mexico “rarely exceeds 25 centavos per workingman per day," and Mr. Bryan knows that the rate of wages which'is rarely exceeded is usually above the av­ erage. Twenty-five centavos per day is worth between 11 and 18 cents in American currency. I was told at tbe Zacatecas mines and at the Agues Call­ enter smelter and at La Aurora wool­ en factory in the same city, and the same information has been many repeated in the City of Mexico, that wages for the same line of employment had not increased in Mexico during the past ten years. ■ which has its reaerrtioD- on ao island, 'known, as Indian island, in tbe Penob­ scot river in» Maine.

There are many coops of car-, rier pigeons in that city. Some days ago a pet pigeon disappeared from its accustomed retreat at the storage house of the Indiana polls Brewing oompany* Ko trace of it could be found. A few days later the old pigeon was noticed acting strangely. It began fly­ ing viciously against the outaidc of the building and striking the weather boarding with her bill and head. She would fly to tbe Panhandle car track and with a flying atari dive back against the aide of the building, always hitting the same spot. She kept up her queer actions until, it la claimed by thoae who witnessed the affair, she actually clipped a hole through the aiding. She waa later noticed carrying food and dropping it through the small open­ ing. An inveaUgation revealed tbe fact that the rniwing bird had got fastened between the weather boarding and the lath. It called on the old bird and at last attracted her attention. She be­ gan work getting to it and after three or four days succeeded in making a Urge enough* opening to get food into it.

Recently a Yale “best” wa* sent tc jaiL after swindling hi* classmate* in wholesale fashion. He took the whole, country for his field of work and visited a prosperous classmate in San Fran­ cisco, from whom he extracted $50. Al­ though well to do. tbe Californian did not like to waste $50. and resolved)toBe • stem the next time a Yule man called. His next visitor was a plaiuftnate who wa* knowjva* tbe “dig” in college, 1£ years before. He seemed juste* seedy as he used to appear in the classroom, and tbe Californian scented another ap­ peal for money. So he fortified him­ self. aud when asked how the world had used him. related a'doleful story of bad luck, debt and poverty. He must have drawn the picture pretty atrong. for his visitor was deeply moved. Sud­ denly the seedy-classmate turned and said: “Now, don’t feel hurt at my offer, but I wish you would take $10,000 from me to .use until you strike better luck. I really don't know what to do with the money, or how to ibvest all I have, and shall be delighted to let you have it." There was an awkward pause, an out­ burst and brief explanation. Then both adjourned to the club to talk itover, and the Californian learned how his old claMmate had “Struck it rich” with a prosperous corporation and was really ready to ’give away money. ' CURIOSITY OF MONKEYS. Reward An interesting financial problem will soon confront the adminutnUion in re­ spect to our foreign depenti'encies, and that is tbe harmonizingof thrir curren­ cy with our*. As a prehminarj step Mr. Harden, formerly of tbe Chicago Evening Pu*t. ha* been appointed to in­ vestigate She financial condition of t|»e Philippine*, and the secretary of tha treasury is considering the same ques­ tion as it affect* Cuba and Puerto Rico, with a view to making definite recom­ mend at ion*,to congress at the next aession. Lately we have seen at Santiago that the merchants there are unwilling to take our silver dollars except at their bullion value, although they gladly ac­ cept our gold and paper money at.tbeir face value. If this was the only diffi­ culty it would soon be straightened out, but H is a very small part of H. The real problem lie* not in our cur­ rency but in their*. Take Puerto Rico., for instance. When we annex that island'tbe inhab­ itant* come under our laws ao far a* those law* are applicable to their new condition, while at tbe same time the Spanish law* that are not in conflict with the constitution of the United •States will also remain in force. We had an experience of this kind when we annexed California arid New Mexico, where to this day the oM Spanish law* are invoked,, particularly in regard to land title*. From the commercial standpoint the j financial situation in Puerto Rico will require a good deal of careful consid­ eration, so that existing conditions may be modified or changed without disturbing business. A fixed rate of exchange will have to be esyibtixhed between their coin* and ours, but the habits of a people in regard to money are not easily altered, and those who, are nccustome/J to reckon in peseta* and peso* may not take kindly at first to our system of dime* and dollars. They have, too. their own legs! tender' law* which establish the basis of pay­ ment* for debt, so that the Puerto' Rican monetary ayatem.wiB have to be preserved* nt least for a time. . ’ In the end the American gold stand­ ard and American money must be. ssbwtituted fot the now prevailing cur­ rency. which i* on the silrer baris.

On return­ ing from church one Sunday morning he noticed that the cellar door was open and smarted on a tour of investi­ gation. As he went down the steps Jenny, the monkey, rushed up, and he found that she had set aB the apigote running. The door had been inadver­ tently left open, and Jenny, doubtless, went prying into the semilighted placed Turning one spigot on produced such a ruihing stream that she tried the oth­ er* also, much to the waste of tbe liquor. It may ^e added that when the Englishman’s first-born- appeared and monopolized attention Jenny got such a fit of jealousy that *he wa* at once sent to the secluded but more con­ genial society to be found in the mon­ key bouse of the London zoological gar­ den*. • .1 basis in fact.for this story.

The new law has not been in operation n month, andp^rt of its provisions can become fully onrratlve only after a quarter or half year has. elapsed, while others can be en­ forced only when cases pending in fhe courts have been decided. Yet per­ sons are found who make haste to conclude that the new law will fall short of its purpose. , In 23 days of July the law hn» yielded a revenue of $31526,572. or about 4’6.000 dhlly, Spro£ of it a provisions • were capable of anticipation, and con­ siderable revenue at the. outset was thus cut off.Awhile the effect of other (•revisions will not appear for some time to ^dme. But the receipts thus far have he< n nt f,he.rate-of over $530.OOO.OTO a yt'ar. Strictly speaking. If the law were to be judged at all in the light of present ir.aufficfent experi­ ence it would have to be held rather' more produc^e than it was originally intended to. be. Allowance must l>e made, however, for-the fact that pur­ chases of stamps at the outset are usually for considerable time to.come, an that other payments are to cover periods not yet expired. The same law might not yield-ns large a revenue in succeeding months, because the first month of a fiscal year usually brings considerable settlements of various kinds. When these things are taken into account, with the obvious (act that full payment ha* not been real­ ized on all provisions of the law. it reem« within the truth to say that ithas worked thus far quite as well and has yielded quite n* much as was ex­ pected.

But 12 years ago a confederate veterans’ reunion was held in Troy, and among other things the eld exkoldiers-indulged in a sham battle. Mr. Blau was detailed to load and fire one of the cannon. During the mock bat­ tle the cannon exploded prematurely. The heavy charge of powder and wad­ ding blew both of his hands off—the Irft just above the wrist, tbe other sev­ eral inches further up the arm. At this time Mr. Blan was the owner <rf the Weekly Messenger, which he had bought in 1873, and had-succeeded in putting on its feet by hard work. He had a large family of young children and. like all other newspaper people in thia part of the land, he had lived protty well ,up to his income. He knew no line of business excepting newspaper work, and a man without either hand is ordi­ narily not very available about a news­ paper office. He determined not to al­ low his usHulneas to depart with the loss of his bands, however, and ok soon THE INDEMNITY WAS PAID. as he had recovered sufficiently from his Injuries to give the matter his atten­ tion. he had made an artificial right “This controversy between Hayti hand and forearm. and Germany over the Lueders caw," It is a simple but ingenious conr said an old resident to a Washington trivunce.

If Bxyan is to be “recognized" at all in con­ nection with the jubilee It must be on account of his advocacy of a dishonest monetary policy as acoundrelly as If devised by men who hsd learned their morals ta a penitentiary. To his sup­ port of that policy and to nothing else does Bryan Owe the notoriety he en­ joys. The adoption by the government of Bryan's financial schemes w^uld rob the working classes of this country of billions of dollars, the hard-earned savin era of their incessant toil. It would create a panic which would t prostrate industry and deprive mil­ lions of wage-earners of work. Those who did have employment would find the purchasing power of their wages Cut down nearly 60 per cent., because they would be paid in cjheap silver dol­ lars instead of what the Bryaniteanall “appreciated” gold dollars. Considering what Bryan stands for. he is the last man to be invited to participate in public rejoicings over any -vent. He is the last man whom those Chicagoans who comprehend the immoral and destructive nature of his doctrines' want to see or hear. Poor, deceived, credulous ignorati may yearn to gaze upon his fixed smile and listen to bis stereotyped speeches. But they were in the minority here two years ago. and there-are not ^s many of th?m now as there were then, for some cf the men who voted for him hi 1S96 have* learned that he is their en­ emy and not their friend. Brvan has won ns prominence asia soldier. He is a colonel of volunteers who has seen no service. Bryan has been prominent as a politician, but his prominence is of an unenviable nature, whieh would make his presence at the contemplated peace jubilee- lindcsirar ble. He is tbe advocate and represent­ ative oT doctrines which if enacted into laws would inflict more injury on the material interests of this country than Spain could have inflicted with all continental Europe aa an ally. He would be a wet blanket on the jubilee. 1 herefore it may be taken for granted 1be committee wHI .not invite him.— Chicago Tribune.

The conflicting interests among tho^e who were in practical agreement as to the need of currency reform have kbeen partially. If not entirely, recon­ ciled. AH these advocates of sound money are cautioned againatany laxi­ ty of effort in the fall elections. Mr. Hanns thinks there is every reason for the friends of the cause to enter­ tain . tjie most positive hope of early success, but to make assurance doubly -sure the most determined spirit should be shown in the struggle yet to come. The success of the work is all ths more desirable In view of the new trade eertain to come to American shores.

Mlle i Washington, Sept. 1.—Secretary Al­ ger is much gratified with the report of Gen. H. V. Boynton on the condi­ tions at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga. Gen. Boynton dispose* of the sensa­ tional stories about the sanitary con­ ditions at Camp Tnbmas by showing that while there have been 75,000 men in that camp, there have been only 198 death*, or about two-tenth* of one per cent. The secretary is gratified to find that the sensational stories told' about this camp are refuted by the fact* as reported by Gen. Boynton. The report also show* that the hos­ pital* are in splendid shape, and are being efficiently managed—that there is no lack of supplies and that the men are being properly cared for and have everything that they could reasonably want, thus disposing of the charges made in some newspapers that .sick soldiers get insufficient food : and starve to death. . The gossip about Gen. Miles and the interview* attributed to him contin­ ues. There is little doubt that unless the general disavow* responsibility for the interviews Gen. Alger will or­ der him tried by court-morfial *oon after hi* return to thia country. The secretary febls, it 1* said, that the maintenance of proper discipline in the army demands nothing less than this. It is still possible, however, that the scandal that would ensue from the adoption of thi* course may be avert­ ed. The president may take a baud in the matter, and prevent open rupture between the secretary, of war and the commanding genera! of the army. New York, Sept. 1.—Admiral Schley^ and Gen.

DIVERSIONS OF DAWSON CITY. a Placer Claim. Mr. Robert Anderson, of London, England, has recently returned from the Klondike, and is here, says an Otta­ wa tOut.) exchange, to obtain a lease of a tract of land in. the Klondike region, which it ia impossible to work by the methods now employed there, and if this. is. eecured will mine tbe tract by hydraulic process. Speaking of tbe Klondike, he Mid: “I remained there just 50 days. - There were 5,000 or 6,000 people at Dawson then. Tbe best of order .prevailed. In fact, it is the most orderly frontier camp I ever visited. There are & large number of saloons and dance halte at Dawson City, and they are doing a flourishing business. These afford the only means of diver­ sion for tbe miners, and. about all their apart time is spent there. A rum shop pays better than- a placer claim. Dur­ ing the time I was in the district I in­ spected about all of the principal dolma. The richness of some of them is simply marvelous. I* do not think that the newspaper reports have exag­ gerated matters much. Numbers of men have struck good claims, and made an immense amount of money in a abort time. I met several .who were poverty-stricken when they reached the Klondike, but who are now wealthy. There were 200 men exploring the Stewart river when I left, aqd wonder­ ful finds are expected to be made in that district.” "WISHT HE HAD A MUDDER."

The aet of 1897 was intended'to yield about 9190.­ 900.000 In customs, averaging 93SO.OOO dally; »15T.odo.OOO Internal revenue, averagingMJO.OOOdally; and nbout»22r 000,090 miscellaneous receipt,*, aver­ aging about aOO.OOO dally—a total of 91,010,000 daily. When war broke ont It was judged that at beast 8:31.000.000 should be added to -.he yearly revenues, or 9378,000 dally, these'being the fig­ ures given by CbaJsTiiati Dingley In hi* estimate of what the war tax would yield.. This was expected to raise the total Internal reveuue to9808,000 dally, and the total Income of tbe govern­ ment to 91.3S8.ooo iiaily. 3-ow closely the actual receipts have approximated these calculations is now shown in the'official return* for August, the seconp month after the new act went into force. *The follow­ ing table explains-itself: A mouotJ expected.

The iuterriai revenue for July was $26,171,000. making the average J25.093.000 mon th lyj The miscellaneous receipts for July also bring the month­ ly average in that department up to $3,012,000, so that in each branch the calculations are surprisingly su>talned by the actual results. Customs receipts naturally fell off a little dur­ ing the war. but August, the first month of peaceful commerce, shows receipts slightly in excess of the cal­ culations. Taking all branches to­ gether, the income and outgo have maintained a steady and reassuring' balance alike in peace and w*ar, thus laying a aolid foundation for the re­ turn of confidence and for a firm be­ lief in the practical business ability ot the republican party. This large revenue in August, coupled with the receipts from the popular bonds sold by the treasury, caused the receipts to exceed tbe expenditures during the month. The cost of run­ ning the government and the war in August waa $56,260,717. yet $32,358,025 was added to the cash iu the treasury. A part of this was necessarily with­ drawn from circulation by the buy­ ers of bonds, but the large deposits in the national banks fully offset this, and the $17,101,799 decrease In circula­ tion during the mouth was not felt— for the good and sufficient reason that the money -stll) In tbe bands of the people was $1,792,096,545, or $23.96 per capita. After, this month there W41 be no mare payment* to make on the war bonds, and the treasury reserve, which has been piling up unnecessar­ ily high, will probably be pulled down a little by continued war expenses. In tbe end the expenditures will come re­ markably close to balancing the re­ ceipts.

McKee’s headquarters during the morning, in which he fixed the blame for the sickness in the different camps throughout tub country on the com­ manding officers. Secretary Alger was given an enthusiastic reception by the citizens of Knoxville and by the com­ manding officers of the camp on his arrival. He yent from the depot di­ rect to the camp and shortly after­ wards accompanied by his staff and the officers of the camp, all on horse­ back, the secretary rode over the drill field and inspected the troops. He then reviewed the grand parade ar­ ranged in his honor and afterwards made a speech to the commanding offi­ cers. He next visited the hospitals and regimental quarters and made a thorough Inspection of the condition of the camp and men. Gen. Alger con­ gratulated Gen.

I want the facta, and all the facts, to come out, and have nothing to withhold from the public. “The great trouble has been that the people have not appreciated the immense problem of forming an army of JSO,000 volunteers without notice and with­ out the necessary equipment. The Spanish war came upon u» almost like a bolt from a clear sky, and it found every branch of the war department unprepared for the task of equipping and handling such a vast number qf untrained men. "For a time there was difficulty in fur­ nishing supplies and equipment for the troops, but that had to be expected.

A ship captain of long experience said that in the course of hi* life at *ea he had pulled 200 teeth. The ship’s medicine chest on large Teasel* is like a closet or cupboard, with a glass door, built in the ship. In this cheat th* medicine bottles, gilt-labeled, are arranged on shelves that rise one above another in receding tiers; it is practically a well-appointed little drug store. There is supplied with the medi­ cine chest a book explaining the uses of the medicine*. The captain is like­ ly to have some other book on medical subjects which he has read and studied, and he is likely to have had a good deal of experience before attaining the rank of master of a ship. The sailors ore generally healthy men, but, when occasion requires, the captain prescribes; he is the physician. Limbs broken at sea are of course set there, and there might be circum­ stances In which the captain would not heoltate to perform a surgical opera­ tion. __________________ INDIAN ANTIPATHY TO FISH. •a Food. At a recent meeting in Baltimore by the American Folk-Lore society, Dr. Washington Matthew*, of Washington, D. C., read a paper on “Icthyophobia,” which he described as an antipathy Co fish. This aversion is especially strong in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian tribes of the far southwest, who will not eat fish nor have anything to do with articles made in the shape of fish. This “taboo” with the Navajos extends to all things connected with water. A probable reason why no more children of these tribes are sent east to be edu­ cated, Dr,. Matthews thought, was a fear that they might be required to overcome this cherished “taboo” super­ stition, which is a* firmly rooted as any religion, say* the Baltimore Sun. A legend to account for this fish “taboo* was given. There was a time when food was scarce and the mountain Indians had a big pow-wow with the river Indians. The result was that the river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but Uve entirely on fish, and the mountain Indians agreed to ent no fish, but live entirely upon deer. This made food plenty for both. In the discussion of the paper it was stated that the Zuna Indians will not eat fish because savage tribes in desert lands regard water as sacred because of its scarcity, and this reverence ex­ tends to animal life in water. Several members thought, perhaps, this idea conveyed the true reason for the fish “taboo.” * SWIMMING OUT WAS EASY. But the Serweaut Didn't Cone Uaek Elected Grand Sire. Boston. Sept. 21.—Alfred S.

The bird must have made a consider­ able r.mnber of trips, for the quantity. of (vaper was large, and it had made a good choice of material,, for everyone knows that paper Is a tad conductor of heat; it holds heat well, .-.nd one does not need to hared re tried around the world to have foiled out that on a jour­ ney a good-sized journal of stent paper, like the English newspapers, holds heat as well as a blanket Near. Besancnn another nest was found,-made wholly watch springs, evidently taken from the factories in the neighborhood. Here the selection was less happy, for metalsnrtf good con­ ductors of heat. Finally, near a spot where a large St. Bernard dog is kept was found a .nest built of hair detached from the dog’s coat. la this cese the inspiration was evidently good.

The roster is placed in ths vestibule of the church, where it re­ mains, and is in plain view of everyone entering the church. At the elose of every month the roster is taken down Md all who have contributed any­ thing to the current expenses of the church are checked up in tbe spaces oppoaite the names.

As a result of this en­ actment the Michigan Sugar company has commenced operations in a $300,­ 000 factory just completed at Bay City. The . company has contracted for the product of 3,500 acres with neighbor­ ing farmers, and expects to use this year about 35,000 tons of sugar beets, for which about $140,000 win be paid. This year’s output of graunlated su­ gar is estimated at 8,120.000 pounds. Preparations are being made to es­ tablish plants in other sections of the state next year. BROS,, PROPRIETORS.

Luminous paint is used more in the country than in the city, but its use generally is increasing, says the New York Sun. It is used in cities in dark scenes in the theaters, and dancers’ costumes are coated with it. Luminous paint is used for the illumination of doctors’ signs, and of street numbers, and night bells, and keyholes and door knobs, and it is used to paint match boxes and various other things. It is not luminous except in the dark, and so, for sign purposes, it is used only in such places as are not reached by the rays from the street lamp. Luminous paint is not phosphores­ cent, but it absorbs light in the day, or light from electric op other artificial lights, which it gives out in the dark; most commonly, indoors and out, it is used upon objects that are exposed to daylight. The distance at which such objects can be seen at night depends upon their sice. Luminous paint is , used in the country on highway sign- I 5 You Want .Satisfaction? ------- ••••oiiiiSI SSMI-WKKKLY.

Any woman may insure the health of her children wbo will take proper care of her health in a womanly way. The health af her children depends almost c ntirely upon her general health, and particularly upon the health and strength of the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. A woman has no right to dis­ regard her own health, comfort, ease and happiness, she certainly has less right to condemn her children to a life of suffering or an early death. That is what she does If she neglects the health of her special womanly organism. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all disorders of this description. It strength­ ens and invigorates the sensitive organs coocerned, and is the best , preparation for the trials and dangers of maternity. It inssres the well being of the mother and the health of the child. Its use is a guarantee of a bountiful supply of nourishment for tbe little new-comer.

Ybere appear, u be a quite general taking tfcat the free -nd. independent •oinage of rilver by tbe United State, St the ratio of sixteen to one will not be a leading issue in tbe next presi­ dential campaign. There are indica­ tions that conserve,tire democrats are anxious to delegate silver to the rear or to leave the ratio to a democratic •ongress to determine. In Pennsyl­ vania the democratic state convention Ignored the silver issue in favor of ■late issues.- In .New York effortaare being made by those who have been party leaders to induce the state con­ vention to ignore the issue in the plat­ form this year. There is a decided if silent element in all the central west­ ern states which would have the party enter the next presidential campaign untrammeled by the sixteen-to-one de­ mand of the owners of silver mines. But with all the opposition to free coinage at the old ratio and the very general falling off of interest on the part of the people in the question, present indications point to the mak­ ing of silver coinage at the ratio of sixteen to one a prominent issue in the next campaign by the democrats. Most of the democratic state conven­ tions have declared for the whole plat­ form of Chicago and have indorsed CoL Bryan as the democratic statesman to be a standard bearer a second time. The ultra silver element is-in control of the party machinery in all the states. In Illinois It' was given out, after the democratic mate convention, that Mayor Harrison, moderate silrerite. had control of the state com­ mittee, but when the committee was organized ex-Gov. Alfgeld was found to be in eontrol as the most rabid champion of the silver platform. Ex­ Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, has made a pilgrimage to New York to inform the democratic leaders in that state that they will not be recognized as belong­ ing to the national democratic party unless they indorse the Chicago plat­ form. There is every reason why the promi­ nent leaders in the silver movement of 1896 should make a desperate effort to make silver the most prominent issue of 1900. They caused their party to change front on the coinage ques­ tion. Thus they became the leaders of a new democratic party. To.sweep back to the old party’moorings-and again become the champion of k charge of coinage ratio its it was when it changed the ratio from fifteen to one to sixteen to one, would cer­ tainly discount the leaders of 1896, nnd that is tlie tiling they fear and which tliey will fight. If for no other reason the Bryan leaders will make as much of the silver mine ownters* demandduring this campaign as they can, and if they seem to gain by it in the fail elec­ tions thc$- will be engjr for it in 1900. The public welfare is of no account to them.—Indianapolis Journal. BUILDERS OF THE NAVY. A Republican Conares* Entitled to the Credit of Creating Dewey tnd Schley's Ships.

Mas. W. H. JARVIS, Otsego, #-ch. “After five years’ use of Ayer's Hair Vigor, I can cheerfully recommend it as a desirable toilet article. It keeps the hair soft and gloasy and helps it to retain its natural color.” D. WARNER, Dunnvillc, Ont. < < - < “ For about five years my hair kept 'ailing out until I was almost bald. Some New Hampshire friends asked me to try Ayerl Hair Vigor and insisted on getting it for me. I used it during that summer and iall and found that a new growth of hair had started. I continued to use it steadily for about four months, and at the end of that time had as good a head of hair as one could wish." HOWARD MELVIN, Carlisle, Mass. MI am,well pleased with Ayer’s Hair Vigoi. When I noticed that my hair was getting thin, I commenced to use the Vigor, with the result that the hair not only ceased to come out, but a new growth of hair started. It certainly is an excellent tonic.” CHAS. C. GRAVES, Brookton. N.

When tbe Allegan team received tb» challenge from Manager Smith of the, high school team they supposed that thep> were coming over here to meet an expert*. enced team aud as a consequence they brought along a team constating partly of old players whereas not aman m tbe borne team had ever partici patekl io a game gpttj several of them bed not even seen one. Tbe game was called promptly at 2:43£ with Dr. Calkins of Allegan, ae umpire­ end D. L. Goodyear, referee. Two. tweaty-five minute halves were played., with a ten minute intermission. Tbe-. home team seemed to be somewhat daaed . by the onslaught of the visiting team and l as a consequence the visitors scored one, touch-down In very sport order. Soon novelty wore off however and tbe home­ team put up a good fight during tbo ro-.. malnder of the first half making Allegaxt, work hard for their second, touch down , which they scored about eight mimitee. . before-tbe half was np. The home team . took a remarkable braee aftet AUegan’a second touch down and when time wae, called for the dose of tbe first half they , had tbe ball on tbe visitors 15 yard ffiMTand were gaining at every down. When tbe second half opened Hastings crowded Allegan slowly back toward iber goal line and when they were within*.7 about five yards of it Wilcox brok^ through the visitor’s line and scored A toueh down before they knew what ha< happen sd. On the next kick off tbs borne team bo^ gan to gain as before but Weeks of the,, visitors made a splendid run around the end and came near scoring Allegan’s third , touch down but he was downed by Smith.-, on Hastings 5 yard line. In ’.he next play hbwever he again went asound the end and so completed hta fine woxk by scoring tbe touch down. 'Time was- ’ben ', called and tbe score was found to iiw 17 J to 5 In favor of Allegan. The crowd became very excited during several psrts of the game and cheered lustily when good plays were made* Several foot ball critics pronounced thn work of the home tesm very good inas­ much as it was their first game and theypredict a great future (or the boys. Thevisitors could *no nothing with tbe Has­ tings line and made their gains chiefly by “round the end” runs. They were a fine^. gentlemanly lot of fellows and they say that our boys will be able lo give their high school team a hard fight when tb< return game Is played at Allegan Octobet22.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 6.—: A special to the Journal from Walker, Minn., says: A terrible battle was fought at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning, 30 miles from Walker, at Bog-Ah*Mau-GeShig’s point, close to Bear island. The detachment of 100 men under Gen. Bacon was landed on the«point shortly after eight o’clock. The landing was effected with considerable difficulty owing to a high sea. After landing, a sortie of the bush was made in all di­ rections. The soldiers went through the thick undergrowth very carefully and with every precaution taken against ambush. No Indiana were seen until nearly 11 o’clock. The men were then ordered to line up in an open space near the shore of the lake. Charges were drawn and preparations made for dinner. The order to make coffee had been given and the soldiers were standing in column formation when the first shot was fired. It came frota Bog-Ab-Mau-Ge-Shig’s house. The ball struck Ed Harris, ex-marshal of Walker, a half-breed. Hie arm was broken. Battle Growi Fierce. This shot seemed to be a signal, for Immediately shots came from every di­ rection,, and three men dropped and were carried to the rear. The sol­ diers, who are veterans, not alone of the Santiago battle but of many an In­ dian skirmish, knew what to do, anfi at the first ahot all found shelter and awaited -another volley to Uli them where to shoot.

My Dear Orbs: To-dayman been another busy day. We did not unload anything from the ship, be­ cause we bad a big order to fill and I did not want the lighters to be at work and their men in the way. We began at Dine o’clock and by four bad sent out about 90,Oifi) rations. We could have sent out more but there were nut epough earts to keep tfce men in the warehouse busy all the time. We asked for more carts to be em­ ployed but the "parties told us that they had secured all of the carte that were available iu the city. They said that there were plenty of earts but not enough ani­ mals to draw them, as they bad tost a good many of tbe horses and mules during the blockade. To-day applications came Id for about 150.000 rations. We will go to work on them In tbe mom log and hope to get out about as many as we did to-day, and In addition we will have a lighter l‘>*d ot stuff taken off from tbe ship. At tbe rate j that we are working we will get through here and be away about the 20th of this month. We hope to get through sooner, but I think it Is safe to say that we will be through by that lime. You can bet that if it is possible to gel away any sooner that we wilt do it. Every man of us is just burning up with eagerness to get home train. If the warehouse was larger we ■ could work to better advantage than we | c#n now but we ore the best of it aud wrw rushing along as fast as we can. । La^t night the authorities confiscated *11 -he cattle in the slaughter housesand . .. .. . in consequence to-day the atty was not able to buy beef In tbe markets.

The commHtee i on arrangements has decider! upon the following plan for Friday and Saturday dinner: To make arrangement* with one | of the church societies lo furnish tbe din-1 nvr al one shitting a, plate (25c for tne two dinners.) This plan was tried at the teachers’ a»sncl«t1on: teat winter abd was highly Mtlafactory. Plates will be laid for 200 or more If found necessary, giving all persons In attendance an opportunity to enjoy tbe dinner hour together. Every one In attendance should plan to eat din­ ner with tbe institute—because dinner and everything else In connection wltb the Institute will be goud. This iMtliute^can not help but send waves of enthusiasm In the Interests of oar echoois far and near. It costs no one a cent save Ibe teacher—the expenses of tbe same are met out of the teachers* in­ stitute fund—every woman itucber paying | 50c a year and every man teacher paying >1.00 under the present law. Everything will be free save the two dinners and your committee has arranged for them in such a manner that no one can feel tbe ex­ pense of those. Most of tbe aehools will be closed for fall vacation, where they arc, not dosed, officers should willingly give the Fzlday and teachers should give tbelr Saturdays. We hope thi lime is not far distant when school officers will demand that their teachers attend the Institute, and will say “No" to those teachers wbo ate not pro­ gressive enough to take a lively Intermt in educational gatherings. Happily we have few rtieri tubers In Barry county.

Springfield, Ill., Oct. l?rf—Col. Young, of the First Illinois cavalry, command­ ing the troops at Virden, was in Springfield Sunday and reported to Ad*t. Gen. Reece that all is quiet there and that he does not fear -any more trouble. Battery B, under Capt. Craig, remains at' Virden, and Adjt. Gen. The plains that He about the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the beautiful and -the corrupt, are' |hirea.tened by a repetition of the Vesuvian overflow. .The vine-clad hillside,, the fruitful valleys, are in imminent dan­ ger of an avalanche slide of lava from the long smoldering cauldron ’neaih the burnt-out crater of the seething volcano. It is an interesting contemplation, attractive because of its spectacular promises, fascinating because of Its terrible possibilities. But it is not-the only eruption whose imminence makes the world pause in awe and. view with alarm effects that may follow threat­ ened causes. To have thia painful truth thrust convincingly upon one’s conscience there need be but this slight reference to a current news item, towit: “Got Bryan is undoubtedly suffering from the restraint he has placed over himself. “ ‘If you knew,’ he said, ‘what R cost me to keep still, you would appreciate the .strength of my will.’ “When asked if he would talk freely when he has once broken loose, he said: “ ‘You know how it is when a dam breaks. There is no telling when the flood stops.’ ” With this avalanche of pent-up elo­ quence, an impending menace of words held in check by no more substantial barrier than Col. William Jennings BrynWa specific of silence, it is no mat­ ter of wonder that the American peo, pie Jail to appreciate in the fullest the horror of Vesuvius' threatened out­ burst. By comparison, the. volcanic eruption pales into ineffectual fires be­ fore the threatened blowout of the Ne­ braska cave of winds. “If vou knew what it cost me to keep aUB.” Could-anything be more pathetic than this plaint of this peripatetic free coiner of sixteen to one speeches? “You would appreciate the strength of my will.” Thia evidently to the American peo­ ple, who in gratification of his tem­ porary silence are ready to concede full appreciation of the will that keepehim worldless for even so brief a period. They appreciate the restraint—and the silence—the more because aware that In the very nature of the man and his methods it cannot possibly be of much longer duration. They fully realize that when .the dam breaks there is no telling when the flood will stop. It is in apprehension of this over­ hanging avalanche that full apprecia­ tion and. full gratificaitron is felt at thJs brief suspension of the slide that is inevitable when speech loosens the accumulated debris of drift and dint, soggy logic and trashy rhetoric. It is an evil that cannot be avoided, ■and while viewed with littlft more ap­ prehension: than attends the anticipa­ tion of any minor discomfort, tbe fad of its postponement is pleasurable.

Her comb was white, and she wore a man­ tilla of blonde, without doubt extreme­ ly vaiuable.'tor It was very dirty. The effect, however, was charming. Her hair was glossy black, her eyes like an antelope’s, and all her other feature? deliciously soft She was further adorned, which is rare in Spain, with a rosk cheek, for in Spain our heroines are rather sallfiw. But they counteract this slight defect by never appearing until twilight, which calls them from i their bowers, fresh, though languid, j from the late siesta.

It does not matter &o much whether the Parisian woman is generously endowed with beauty or not. she has ways of acquir­ ing It with her mode of dressing which answer every purpose.

These letters, received last evening, define Mr. Palmer’s attitude in tbe present campaign, notwithstanding tbe recent announcement of ex-Congreaeman Hlnrichsen of the state democratic freesilver committee: “Spbingfield, HL, OcL 18.—To John W.

I am a democrat in all my sympathies apd affections, and will greatly prefer to vote for the representa­ tive men of that party. At present tbe democratic is tbe minority party and can­ not, if it would, control tbe policy of the country. Therefore it accepts for its lead­ ers shallow pretenders, who, like Mr. Bry­ an and Governor Stone, ean promise it only local success, and its platforms and principles, like that of Chicago, adopted In 1896, are a mere snare at existing condi­ tions without presenting any scheme for political or social improvement “Tbe Chicago platform is a mere echo of tbe ill temper of those wbo adhere to it ami commits tbe democratic party to the coinage of silver on tbe ratio of 16 to 1. {with enforced legal tender quality. Its advocates propose to reduce the prloe of gold or the gold standard ‘some,’ and to advance the price of silver‘some,’ and the point at which tbe depreciation of the price of gold and tbe enhancement of tbe price of silver will meet will be the stan­ dard of value In this country—forgetful of the fact that tbe more valuable metal will disappear from circulation. “I will not support any candidate wbo favors tbe coinage of silver on the ratio of 16 to 1 with enforced legal-tender quality.

He was met by the cheers of thousands of people lining both sides of all the thoroughfares through which he passed. At the Southern hotel, where he stopped, an informal reception was given, at noon he addrez&ed a large crowd on the floor of the Merchants’ exchange and ■ M at the exposition building in the even­ 1 KJ ing the preaident spoke as follows: II U] ! fl Ld M”My Fellow Cltlxens: My former visits to St Louis are full of pleasant memories. |*^ I My first was In 1888. und then again tn 1S92, both of which afforded me an opportunity of becoming acquainted with your people and of observing the substantial charac­ ter of your enterprising city. I omitted ray quadriennlal virit in 1896 for reason* which were obvious to you »nd have always been thankful that my presence seemed to have created no prejudice tn your minds. "I remember on the occasion of a former Visit In company with Gov. Francis and other cltlxens, to have witnessed the as­ sembled pupils of the school* of the city et your grejit fair. It was an inspiring sight, and It ha* never been effaced from recollection. A* I looked into the thou­ sands, ot young faces of the boy* and the girls, preparing themselves for citizenship, I had my faith confirmed in the stability of our institutions. To the youth of the country’trained In the schools which hapFitly are open to all, must we look to carry orward the fabric ot government It is fortunate for ua that our republic appeals to the best and noblest aspirations of its cltlsen* and makes all things possible to the worthy and industrious youth. The personal interest and participation of our citizenship in the conduct of tbe govern­ ment make* the condition always an ab­ < sorbing and interesting one. . 1 Onr Credit of the Best. "It I* a matter of great gratification to the people of the United State* to know that the national credit wa*. never better than now; that for the first time in the country’s history the government is float­ ing a three per cent bond, every dollar of which was cold at par and are now at a premium of five cent* on the dollar, and that this profit has gone to the people. Tbe loan was a popular one. and It bus been a source of much satisfaction that the people with their surplus savings were able to buy the bonds. It 1* an interesting fact that while we offered but JCOO.WO.OcO of bonds for sale, over 81.41X1.(0' .000 were sub­ scribed by the people of country and by the term* of sale no one wa* able (o receive bonds in excess of 8..0U0. It 1* not without significance, too, that the govern­ ment ha* not been required since 1136 to bor­ row any money for Its current obligates until the war with Spain, while Its available balance October 1, 1898, wa* upward* ot 1807,000,000, of which sum over 8243.000.1XX) wa* in gold. "Nothing more impressed the nations of the world than the appropriation of a large national defense fund, which the treasury' wa* able to pay from ft* bal­ ances without resort to a Ipan. While the credit and finance* of the government have improved, the business condition* of the people have also happily improved. Both government and citlxen have shared in the general prosperity. Tbe mpney circulation of the country was larger on the first of July, 1898. than It ha* ever been, and there has been no depreciation of the value of our money. The people have borne the additional taxation made neoesxary by the war with the same degre* of patriotism that characterised the soldier who enlisted to figh* 'he country's battle*. "We have not only prospered In every material *ens«, but we have established a sentiment of good feeling and a aptrtt of brotherhood such as the nation has not en­ joyed since the earlier years of ita history. Not since the beginning of tho agitation of the question of slavery have there been such a common bond in name und purpose: such genuine affection; euah a unity of the sections; such obliteration of party and Kgraphical division*. National pride has h again enthroned: national patriotism has been restored; the national union cemented closer and stronger, the love for the old flag enshrined in all hearts. North and south have mingled tbelr best blood in a common cause, and to-day rejoice in a common victory. Restored Eulou Muit Me Guarded. "We must guard this watered union with xealous and sacred care, and. while await­ ing tbo settlement* of the war and meet­ ing the problems which will follow, we must stand a* one man. not In the spirit of party, and united In a common effort for that which will give to the nation It* widest influence in its sphere of activity and usefulness to which the war has as­ signed !L Let nothing dUtract us; lat no discordant voice Intrude to embarrass us in the solution of the mighty problem* which involved such, vast consequences to ourselves and posterity. Let us remember that God bestows upon no nation supreme opportunity which is not ready to respond to the call of supreme duty." The addresa of the premdent was re­ ceived by hi* 10,000 auditor* with the wildest eheera and at its conclu­ sion tbe demonstration was rim ply in­ describable. For a abort time the president then viewed the rights of the Bt. Lout* exposition, after which 4e left for Chicago. 1 ! I . I TUESDAY. OCTOBER IL "1 of the American troops in is improving daily.

And If we suppose a ring composed of an immense number of particles and conceive this ring to have such a position around the sun that the earth will pass into it in August and November, then we should have just such a display. Accordingly this explanation s accepted as correct As for the origin of the ring, that Is to an even greater extent an object of speculation, although ono theory that te popular is that a comet has been arrested In its flight around the earth or one of the planets and dis­ tributed in a ring around the. sun. its gases and vapors condensed into par­ ticles too small to be seen until fired by contact with the air. However that may be, their destiny te known. When the earth enters the belt the operation of the laws of gravitatlon te sufficient to attract these par­ ticles to the terrestrial sphere. Plung­ ing injo the atmosphere of the earth at a distance of seventy or eighty miles from the surface, tbe resistance of tbe air is sufficient to check their flight So great is the friction caused by the tre­ mendous speed at whjch the meteor is traveling that the heat Is sufficient to dissolve the stone In a streak of fiery vapor. It is like the lighting of a match when it Is struck on a rough surface.

History shows that usually the congress elected in the middle of an administration has a majority adverse to the deminant party. There are many reasons for this, the chief among them being the apathy among the voters, the result of patronage. The offices have been dis­ tributed, and the men wbo worked in the presidential campaign with the hope of reward afterward have either secured places or have been disap­ pointed, and they lose interest in the congress elections, or remain away from the polls because of their disap­ pointment. We dOi not wan*, history repeated this year, and, as I have said, it is to the interest of the whole coun­ try to hsve the house of representa­ tives in accord with the president. “The republican party has carried out its pledges made at St. Louis ao far as a senate opposed to us has enabled ns to do so. The prediction thst pros­ perity would follow the election of Mc­ Kinley has been verified, and no one dares dispute it. The coentry is now prosperous because confidence has been restored, and the question at the polls this fall is: Shall we maintain that confidence and keep prosperity, or shall we unsettle conditions again? The war ha* been successfully waged, and our victories have been great and glorious. There are tremendous ques­ tions yet to be solved, and the presi­ dent’s policy in regard to these mat­ ters is to be carried out. Shall we have -a .congress willing to aid him in the wonderfully successful policy he has already pursued, or will the people of the United States by their votes deqlare our war a failure and refuse to sustain the president? “There is another question also in the congress elections, and that is the financial one. By the republican vic­ tory in 1896 the country declared that silver was no longer an issue. But the 'democratic party is still declaring it is every week from THE, SATURDAY EVE NING P O S Irvla*.

Benator Hanna, tha chairman of the republican national committee, in con­ ference with the managers of the re­ publican congressional campaign, made some pointed and interesting comments ou the political outlook. Among other things, he said: "One can appreciate the exact situa­ tion of the campaign when he recalls that in 1890 there were 60 congress districts in which members were elect­ ed by majorities of less than 1,000 votes. This was true of democrats as •well as republicans. The majority of these districts were carried by less th^n 500 plurality, and you can see at once how Important it is to arouse in­ terest and activity in these districts. The republicans must not let the dem­ ocrats gel ahead of them in work.

A DETROIT LADY TBMTIFIBS TO THE WONDERFUL ■FFIOAOY OF DODO'S KIDNEY PULE. The brief informal speeches made by President McKinley on his east­ ward journey through Iowa were as significant as was his address at Omaha. That address was a magnifi­ cent specimen of patriotic eloquence. The language reflected the matured thought of a man of affairs dealing with questions of statecraft as full of meaning to the governments of Eu­ rope as to the people of Omaha. The president knew that his every word would be weighed carefully In this . country and abroad, and he enunci­ ated the principles of the McKinley doctrine so clearly that none could misunderstand them. He followed the same line of thought in his impromptu speeches in Iowa, emphasizing the need of new markets and dwelling up­ on the fact that commerce follows the flag. Every word the president ut­ tered in Iowa was in keeping with what he said more carefully and def­ initely at Omaha. In his journey through the west the president has given much to the American people; he has received also much from, them. He has had a. rare opportunity to get in closgr touch with popular feeling, and the people have helped him improve it. At Wash­ ington the president’s association .1* largely with professional politiclsins. Congressmen frequently get warped conceptions of public sentiment in the long periods of absence»from their con­ stituents. They have shown in the last year that they are apt only too often to present to the chief executive false ideas of the hopes and ambitions cherished bj the voters in far dis­ tant states. With the president him­ self In contact with the people, how­ ever, there is no chance of such mis­ apprehensions or deceptions. From the reports all along the line of Mr. McKinley’s route it is perfectly plain that he encountered on all sides a strong, popular demand for expan­ sion. Thb audiences listened approv­ ingly to what he said of the better times and kindred topics, but their enthusiasm was reserved for the al­ lusions which gave assurance tbat the territory recently brought within our grasp would be retained. After such an experience . Mr. McKinley cannot but' carry back to Washington with him a clearer perception of what the American people wish and a firmer de­ termination that they shall not be dis­ appointed. ■ The demonstration of public opin­ ion regarding expansion could not have been given the president under more convincing clronmstancei. Neither of the two senators nor one of the 11 congressmen from Iowa has come forward as a champion of an­ nexation. Not one of them all has agitated at home in favor of terri­ torial acquisition. The popular de­ mand for letaining in peace all that we have fairly gained in war required and received no special encourage­ ment. It sprang up spontaneously in the soil of general intelligence, com­ mon sense and patriotism. It is a matter of great good fortune to the republican party in Iowa that the presidential trip has brought the policy of expansion into special prom­ inence as a republican issue. Nor will the benefit be confined to that state. The same impulse is needed in IlllnoftP that Mr. McKinley gave to the repub­ lican campaign in Iowa. It is to be hoped that the entire return itinerary of the presidential party will be so planned that wherever the president goes the people will have the same op­ portunities to give him their opinions and to receive his. The more gener­ ally this exchange of sentiment is car­ ried on the better prepared will bo both president and people for the vast responsibilities which our victory o*rer Spain has thrust upon them and him.

Women, our mothers, wives, daughter*, sisters have it brought home to them frequently and impressively. The diseases tbat torture them are legion. Their sufferings never cease. Of late, however, tbe women of Michigan have been able to boast tbat they posmss the means of not only relieving tbeir suffer­ ings, but of curing their diseases. They have made and are making use of the famous Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mrs. Mary Cobutn, 335 Orleans street, of this citv, was a great sufferer from Fe­ male Weakness. For six years tbe disease wrung her soul with agony, despite ail tbe efforts of her physicians, despite all tbe medicine she used. No pen can describe, no Imagination can realize what she suffered. There are thousands ot her slaters though, who know just wbat she endured—for they are Buffering similar tortues daily. At length, when it seemed as if there was no help but death for her, she was in­ duced to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Tbe result was tbe same as in all cases of Kidney Disease, when Dodd’s Kidney Pills are used—a speedy and com­ plete cure. Tbe information contained in tbe above is enough for any woman who suffers as Mrs. Coburn did. 8be will give Dodd’s Kidney Pills a trial, and that la al! they need. It will convince tbe moat unbellevloc tbat Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure even the very worst ease of tbe diseases ot women. NolcMborinr Connate*. SviL Lewis J. Groak was burled at Charlotte Oct 18tb.

It was tbe first paper printed in. Skaguay end started out with an immense circula­ tion which bas steadily Increased and proved a great paying enterprise. For some time past outsiders interested in Skaguay have begun to investigate for themselves and It is no departure from tbe troth to assert tbat nine out of every ten men who came to investigate have since become identified with this town. All of this lime tbe town bas been building up. Finally tbe railroad came and future greatness is an assured fact. It is now one of tbe most prosperous and stirring towLB in Alaska and receives many such compliments as "Skaguay, tbe metropolis of Alaska, tbe gateway to the Klondike, etc.” Fifteen hundred turkeys have been taken through Skaauay in tbe week tbat this paper was edited enroute to Dawson City. Thanksgiving will be more than a day in name only in the great metropolis this year. Turkeys may come high but they will be eaten just the same. Thia paper also warns people against taking tbe Ashcroft route to tbe Klondike and graphically describes the horrors and hardships that must be encountered on this alleged easy trail to tbe gold fields.

Shallenberger, whifeh has been made public. The main feature of the report is a vigorous arraignment of existing star route methods. Mr. Shallenberger refers to the present system of speculative bidding for star routes as "discreditable to the government.” Th a report <ihows tbe number of mall routes at the dose of th» year was 22.785; total mileage 480.461. an<* averaging on each route nine trips per week. There were 434.S22.6S1 miles traveled on these routes, costing almost 8107 per mile of length each, or almost 812 p«r<nlle traveled. The total annual rate of expenditure for both route* within the United States and tn the foreign mail service was 853.622.454. The report commends the use of paeomatic tubes, but voices regret that in some cases tbe tubes are not fully utilised This service In Boston is especially cited as op­ erating XI hours daily and carrying all tbe ftrst-class mail The New York postmas­ ter, however, takes tbo politic., that it has not been possible to -nak' such reductions in the regular xr».ll wagon trips as II waa thought would result fron. instituting tube aervica Tbe expenditure to railroad> for mall transportation, so far as show), by ac­ counts stated to* September 30, was 830.449,­ 837. anfi the estimate for railroad trans­ portation for the fiscal vear ending June 30, 1300, is 833.27^,000. A deficiency of nearly 81,000.000 in th'i fiscal year for transporta­ tion Is probabla Concerning tbe railway mail service, the report shows there ware 1.26U miles of trav­ eling post offices, and recommendation is made for a reclassification of 'he service, legislation requiring newspaper publish­ ers to mske primary separation of their papers and periodicals fcr mailing requir­ ing postal clerks to wear a badge Instead of the present regulation cap and for gen­ eral establishment of posted stations in railroad depots. For ocean mall transportation in the next fiscal year 82.164.000 la estimated Over 14.­ 000.000 letters and p>st cards have Deen distributed In transit in our international sea post offices and onb 1.500 errors were reported. Negotiations are now pending looking to securing reciprocal benefits from Great Britain in the way of a re?, "post of­ fice on tbe Cunard and White 8'er lines to the near future. The^e two English lines carry a very ’ -ge amount of mall and will extensively profit by separation of mall in transit and .the consequent early dis­ patch and delivery of mail by the harbor boat service at ‘ ew York. Mr. Shallenberger submits estimates for hls entire service of 856,944,000 for next year and says the estimated expvndltures the present year will be 851.210,788. Special rec­ ognition is given to the colirag.* and faith­ fulness of the postal clerks and other of­ ficials who during the yePow fever epidemic in the south renained .; their posts. RATION TO GIVE THANKS Advance estimate* <rf tbe result of an election ary apt to be colored in a con­ siderable degree by |he politics of theperson or paper making them. A piece of work in thaa line has just been done, however, which denerves attention. It has been done by the nonpartisan Washington Post, and ia apparently not distorted by party bias. The Post ha* made a canvass of nearly all the con­ gressional districts in the country, the estimates in cach 'b »ing based on data carefully gathered on the ground. Of the districts canvassed, 166, that paper figures, are sure to go republican, 128 are reasonably certain to be democrat­ ic and silverite and 42 are doubtful. Thus, on sure districts, the republic­ ans are 38 ahead of the democrats aud silverite* in general, but this does not give them a majority of the entire house. The republicans will need to carry 13 more districts in order to con­ trol that chamber, and the Post thinks they will easily do it out of the 42 which are doubtful. Moreover, there are 21 districts on which no estimates are made. Some of these are reasonably certain to be republican. . The chances, that is to say, are over­ whelmingly in favor of republican vic­ tory in the congressional elections on November 8. Perhaps the republican majority may not be quite so large as it is in the present house. The republic­ ans have now a lead of about 50 over the democrats, populists, silver ex-repub­ licans and all tbe elementa of the oppo­ sition in combination. This majority could be reduced somewhat without se­ rious danger, but, of course, the larger the majority the better for the country and the party. The importance of the issues to be dealt with in the next two years demands the election of men of patriotism. public spirit and assured political ability, aud these at present cannot be found outside the republican party. In certain particulars this is the most important election held since the civil war and reconstruction days. Many delicate questions will have to be settled between now and the end of the present presidential term, and precedents will be established for the guidance Of the country, for many years in the future, if not for all time. It is not hard to tell why intelligent, unbiased persons ore figuring out a victory for the republicans this year. The republicans have just concluded a foreign war which will add largely to the country’s territory, population and general material resources and.vastly increase Its prestige abroad. . At the outset in this work tbe republicans de­ feated a democraflc plot to force the succeeded, would have involved the country in serious embarrassment a during and after the war, have length­ ened the war many months, have turned the public sentiment of the world against us and have created trou­ ble for us in the future. Thus the republican ]nrty fought and conquered enemies at home as well as abroad, and has saved thousands of lives and hun­ dreds of milhons of dollars. The party has in the past six months written a brilliant and inspiring chapter of his­ tory. It will advance the country's cridit for enlightenment and humanity. Thjs chapter ^yil[ always be read with Batisfaction by all patriotic and intel­ ligent Americans. The republican par­ ty deserves to win, as even most of its opponents will concede aft4H- the elec­ tion is over, when the concession will not hurt them. The indications are that it will win.—8L Louis Globe-Dem­ ocrat.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 31.—Kansas farm­ ers refuse to sell wheat at present prices. This year's crop of 60,000,000 bushels, together with 10.000,000 to 20,­ 000,000 bushels of old wheat, is piled up in the farmers’ granaries and elevators, held for n higher price. Thia has re­ sulted in the closing of many mills in the atoks and has materially affected railroad traffic. Several months since the Kansas roads made preparations for a big rush of wheat shipments, but their trains are going out empty. Thousands of freight cars were hunted up and re­ paired for use, but they have not been needed. The farmers of the state are financially independent, having paid their debts from previous crops, and can afford to hold their wheat indefi­ nitely.

Judge Neu had hoped that AltgeldUm and Bryanism, anarchy and free sil­ ver, would prove abort-lived; newtesues might come up and give the democracy a chance to move onward, leaving .the issues of 1S94J behind. New issues did arise, but the democrats did not rise with them. “They have not one word to say,” remarks Judge Neu rtf the party In New York, “on the great, absorbing questions, brought to our attention by the successful termination of tbe war.” Judge Keu was a democrat of the school of Jefferson. Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Pierce aud Buchanan, and the other democratic statesmen who for 90 years favored the enlargement of American territory. He therefore con­ cluded that the time had come for him to. throw over the sham democracy foisted upon the party by Alt geld, Bry­ an and Bailey. "I believe,” he says, “that this country should retain every inch of territory which has been ac­ quired by conquest, or which, may be in our power to acquire through our rep­ resentatives on the.peace commission.” ’ He summarizes thus his argument for expansion: ■ “First, in tbe interest of humanity and lu common justice .we cxnnoi' abandon the people in the Philippines to their greatest, most cruel and unrelenting foe. the BpaSlard. if our war was waged for humanity’s sake in Cuba. Second, because our release of these colonies to 8 pa In would result in the near future tn their acquisition either by purchase or by conquest by the powers of Europe. Third, because our great country has reached out into At­ lantic, Caribbean and Pacific, and annexed or will 'protect the people of the Islands of Puerto Hico, Cuba and Hawaii in their attempts to establish a free government of their own, and because tn the Interest of our great and ever-growing commerce we mutt reach out into the far east to find markets for the products of our mines, mills and workshops, and the war has given us these opportunities. Our flag should never be lowered where it once has been raised.” With this as his platform, Judge Neu could hot give his ballot to a demo­ cratic candidate for congress. He, therefore, has turned republican. His rcaaons for the change should appeal to every voter in the United State*, whether democrat or republican. They apply to the issue and the parties and the congressional candidates in every district of the country. In Chicago they are as directly to the point'aa in New York, and should be well weighed by every democrat-before he goes to the polls on November 8.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Neighboring Counties.

M PLM FOU twmMlSE IFFEIEL |.aai Hla Matiam* Paris, Nov. 5.—The Spanish commis­ sioners, in the course of a two-hours’ session of the peace conference Friday, flatly refused to accept Monday’s prop­ osition by the Americans to take the entire Philippine group and to reimburse Spain for her “pacific” expenditures there. This , negstlw* action was expected. The Bpannh commissioners had also a num­ ber of positive declarations which filled some 37 sheets of a typewritten present­ ment. In this statement the Spaniards held that the United States had no ulti­ mate rights in the Philippine islands and could hare non* save by the con­ sent of Spain in these negotiation* and upon terms satisfactory to her. Accord­ ing to the Spanish contention in the formol statement, the United States en­ tertained no thought of annexing the Philippines when the protocol was signed, or it would have bcefl expressed in the protocol as clearly a* the condi­ tions regarding the cession of territory in the Antilles and the orient. M. Cambott, before the signature ox the proto­ col, received from Madrid—the present­ ment alleged—a cable message clearly setting forth that the maintenance of ^pain’s authority over the Philippine* should npt be affected by the protocol, to which reservation the United State* made at that time no protest or objec­ tion. This dispatch to M. Cambon, as the Spaniards claimed, embodied also the view that the United States had no valid basis for claims in the archipela­ go. It was further held by Senor Rios and his colleagues th*t the capitulation of Manila, having occurred after the signing of the protocol, and thus after the suspension of hostilities, was in­ valid. tar product of thia wetion. and tbe ■ . . - t— * r I '.VI V. . products. As the price ot lead goes up or down, the price of labor, farm prod­ ucts, etc., advance or decline. Under the operation of the Wilson tariff law the price of lead waa steadily hammered down until at the time of the presidential election of 1906 it was only worth about 2% cents per pound. At thia price it was only the largest and best equipped plants that, by rea­ son of great output, were able to con­ tinue operations without actual loos. And even this waa only made possible .by a system of economizing that, while cutting expenses In every other direc­ tion also, necessarily reduced the price of labor to the lowest living rate, while the amount of labor that could find em­ ployment even at these reduced rates waa greatly restricted. Lead being the basis on which every other industry rested, and from which, directly or indirectly, all others ob­ tained the means of continuing their existence, it naturally followed that, owing to the small amount of money disbursed by the lead interest, the de­ mand for all other products was greatly reduced, enterprise of every kind was completely paralyzed, and a condition of bualnesa stagnation that amounted to absolute financial distress existed in the lead district of southeast Mis­ souri less than two years ago. To realize the change that has been wrought under a republican adminis­ tration in the short time it has been at the helm, one has only to open his eyes and look about him. An advance of about 30 per cent, in the price of lead has restored wages, inspired new min­ ing enterprises, giving employment to additional labor, while the old plants are all operating to their f ull capacities. to the population and permanent wealth of the district, while a feeling of security and confidence in the sound­ ness and permanence of our present financial system pervades the whole Madrid, Nov. 5.— Premier Sagaata, community. after a long consultation with the queem During the past eight months there regent, declared that he hardly ex­ have been more substantial improve­ pected that the Americans would ments made in this place (among which abandon their pretensions in the mat­ I may mention a $25,000 public school­ ter of the Philippines.

WlttTERA AMO THE WA1U wu Ind: POWDER MEANINGLESS COMPLIMENT i‘ Thia young Washington man, upon his return from the seashore the other 'day, looked worried when he sought the advice of his quite elderly married Woman friend and confidante. • "Ycu’d think," said he, "to read the leuer that got here on the train after, fi did. that w? were actually engaged, you know." i "Well, aren’t you?" she Inquired. L "Not that I know of," be replied, t "What did you pay to her?" I "Didn't say anything much. Ordi■nary line o’ talk. How she makes it out that we're engaged is more------- ” "You told her, I presume, when you were out at the end of the pier bathing in the radiance of the yellow moon, that she was ycur Sappho of tbe vio­ let eyes, and that you had a mental pic­ ture of her, resting her arms upon her late, and gazing dreamily at the wine­ dark Ionian Sea?" "Oh! I s'pose some old thing like One point in the short speech which Precident McKinley made in St. Louis ueaervea and will receive particular attention. “I congratulate you,” he remarked, "upon the splendid outlook for the business future of our country. We were never before so weM off aa we are to-day. Industrial despair no longer hangs over us. We have gone from business depression to business prosperity. We hive gone from labor hunting employment to employment hunting labor.” This is an importent and inspiring truth, and has been re­ ferred to by the president, in differ­ ent language, at one or two other points in the west. It deserves to be mentioned often, for H is a striking and gratifying change from the con­ ditions which prevailed until a year or two ago. Such a stupendous and beneficent change never occurred but once before in the entire history of this country, and that was in 1879, Just after the law for the resumption of gold payments went into operation. Whoever takes a look over the his­ tory of the United States will find that the periods of business stagnation all occurred when the democrats were in control of the government, except in a single Instance, that of 1873. It will be found, too, that the only periods of prosperity which the country has seen in the paat hall century have been while the republicans were in power. Van Buren. Polk, Pierce and Buchanan complained of widespread industrial prostration. The panic of 1837, the moat destructive which the country ever knew, took place just after Van Buren got into office, and its effects lasted, in one phase and an­ other, six or eight years. There were loud complaints among business men during Polk’s and Pierce’s service, and the panic ot 1857 started a few months after Buchanan’s inauguration. Bu­ chanan, in his messages to congress, made frequent mention of the hard times which prevailed, but he some­ times laid It to the agitation of the slavery question, for which, of course, he blamed the north. Another dins- "You told her that her voice was na the low laughing of many waters, and that its meaningful cadences conjured up innumerable vistas of beauty for you?" "Maybe.

In addition to these marvels he bad the power of making instantaneous pictures of ob­ jects in the exact form and color ot the original. The self-acting drawing pa­ per (the sensitive plate) and the talk­ ing box. (the phonograph) are now ar­ ticles of every day use, and there is no doubt that before many years the se­ cret ot his wonderful colored pictures will be known, and anyone may, make them as easily as did the clever wizard. The first successful colored photo­ graphs were those produced by what is called the interference of light waves, the experiment being founded upon the optical law that when two pulses of light are so near together as to appear to the eye but one colors be­ gin to appear, and that the same rays of light falling upon the same point of an object will turn Into all sorts of colors, as. for instance, the colors in a soap bubble. Working on this law ot interference, the process being too long to be explained here, a colored picture is produced, which, however, like the daguen «otype, must be viewed by in­ flection.—Harper's Round Table. trona panic, that 'of 1893, began just i after Cleveland attained the pre«lThomas Williams, of Dryden, has had dency, the effects of which were not another operation performed, this counteracted until the republicans time losing his rig^t hand, ,'!ry gan­ went into power a year and a half ago.

Washington, Nov. 7.—An explosion and fire at 5:15 Sunday afternoon wrecked the supreme courtroom and the rooms immediately adjoining it on the main floor of the . capltoL The damage is enormous. The en­ tire central eastern part of the great marble pile from the main floor to the subterranean basement practically is a mass of ruins. The force of the ex­ plosion wm so heavy that the coping stones on the outer walls, just east of the point where the explosion oc­ curred, were bulged out nearly two inches; windows in all that part of the building were blown out; and locked doors were forced from their hinges quite 150 feet from the scene of it. Fire followed the explosion so quickly as to seem practically simultaneous with IL Before the flames could be subdued the priceless documenta in the record­ room had been almost totally destroyed and serious damage had been done in the marshal's office and some minor rooms in the*Immediate vicinity. The library of the supreme court, located immediately beneath the supreme court room, was badly damaged by fire, smoke and water, practically destroy Ing the great collection of law reference books. The library contains about 20. 000 volumes and was used not only by the justices of the supreme court, but by members of congress and lawyers practicing before the supreme court. The most serious damage, in the opin­ ion of the justices of the supreme court, is to the records stored jn the subbasemenL These included all of the records of the supreme court from 1792 to 1832. The room contains records of cases and opinions rendered by the fathers of the judiciary of the govern­ ment Apparently the documents in this room are either totally destroyed or ao badly damaged by fire and water The democrats are pushing war tosues to the. front in their state and congressional campaigns. Nearly every democratic state convention has adopted resolutions antagonistic to the annexation policy of President MoKinley's administration. In New Hampshire the democratic convention declared against the acquisition of any territory except for coaling and naval stations. The same declaration was made in the Iowa convention. The Missouri couventioif'declared against the annexation of the Philippines or other territory in the eastern hem­ isphere. In Vermont the convention opposed the “imperialistic policy of the republican party.” In Ohio the democrats declared that they did not want the Philippines annexed under any conditions. On the other hand, the republican convention in California declared that national welfare demanded the reten­ tion of the Philippines. The Vermont convention opposed the surrender to Spanish misrule of any territory now or hereafter acquired. The Colorado republicans declared unqualifiedly in favor of keeping forever in place the American flag wherever it has been unfurled. Ohio approved the presi­ dent’s policy Illinois declared that tbe United States should hold such possessions in the conquered territory ss would be advantageous to its inter­ ests in time of war and peace. New Hampshire declared in favor ofauch disposition of the Philippines as would extinguish the sovereignty of Spain aud make good our obligations to the peoples of these islands. New Jersey declared emphatically in favor of the expansion policy of the administra­ tion, and. the New York convention spoke as positively. . At first there was disinclination on the part of the democratic managers to grapple with the war issue. The campaign on land and sea waa so suc­ cessful and the results so great that they could not, as in 1864, say that the war was a failure. But within recent weeks the yellow press campaign, en­ larging on the horrors of war, has in­ fluenced democrats to make the con­ duct of the war an issue. -The demo­ cratic convention in Connecticut made the astonishing declaration that.while the war had been a great success and had brought new honors to the Amer­ ican people and fresh glory’to their flag, the management of the war “has chilled our exultation and brought home to us a sense of shame.” It charged the administration that has conducted the most successful war in our history with incompetence aud venality. In Illinois and in New York the democrats are taking practically Ihe same position. Everywhere the word has gone out to dwell on the horrors of the war in an effort to make the people forget the glories of While many theories are offered as to the cause of the explosion, it seems beyond doubt to have been due to es­ caping gas. At seven minutes after five Lieut. Nelson, of the eapitol police, de­ tected. an odor of gas in the corridor adj’oining the supreme courtroom. Not being able to locate it he proceeded to Statuary hall—the old hall of the house of representatives—thinking the gas might be escaping from a burner in The democrats are making the same that vicinity. While he was endeavoring mistake in 1898 that they made in to locate the escape of the gas the ex­ 1864. Then in the very crisis of the plosion occurred.

Bacon, a representative of the Michigan dairy aad food conitn las inn has created consternation among tbe local milkmen of Kalamazoo by declaring that they were adulterating tbelr milk with • prreerallne’’ wblcb he says contains poisonous acids, and makes the milk a dangerous article of diet. Some bavte ad­ mitted tbe charge*. Out of thirty-two samples tested, over half of that number contained tbe obnoxious fluid. Tbe Sanderaon case at Battle Creek in which Mrs. Sanderson Is charged with murdering her octogenarian husband Is becoming quite sensational, and the testi­ mony of Marie Robertaon. tbe chief wit­ ness for the prosecution has developed one of two things either that Mrs. Saunders Is a fiend or that Mis* Robertson is an Inveterate liar. The latter, however, t-eeins to be the most probable. Miss Robertson’s reputation I* not at all savory and the concensus of opinion seems to be that this is a case of spite work. Allen Dolpb, living near Albion was found dead along the railroad track about three miles north east of tbe city of Al­ bion, with a bullet bole lo his head. A revolver waa found by his side with one chamber empty. The corpse had tbe ap­ pearance ot life having been extinct about 48 hours. Tbe supposition Is that It was a case ortiutcide. Mrs. Bruce Murdock of East Carlton met witn a serioos accident while making applebutter one day last week. She w»s standing near the fire and the wind blew her dress Into the flames. Luckily a tub of water was near by Into, which she threw herself aud thus saved her life. She Is badly burned about tbe lower ex­ tremities but will recover. Roy Robertson and Edward Estabrook, two Albion boys, were drowned In Duck Lake last week. The boat they went oct in was found wrong side up, aud no word has Iw’en received as to bow the accident happened, nor the bodies recovered. Brown and Johnson, the alleged rug swiualers In tbe county jail at Michigan City, have made overtures for tbe settle­ ment of tbelr trouble In Bay City, Port Huron, Lansing, Battle Creek and Kalama­ zoo and a score of other Michigan towns to escape prosecution If they fall of con­ viction In the Indiana courts. The Battle Creek officials will demand tbe custody of tbe two men If they are acquitted of tbe charge of swindling at their forthcoming trial. It has developed that they are prominently connected and money will be liberally expended. - A person who goes by tbe name of Red­ dy Brown was asserted at Eaton Rapids last week by the city Marshal and turned over to Constable Moore of Lansing.

Hood's Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly and permanently, be­ cause it strikes st the root of the trouble The rich, pure blood that It makes, circulat­ ing through the delicate passages of the mucous membrane, soothes and rebuilds the tissues, giving them a tendency to health Instead of disease, and ultimately curina the affection. At the sains time Hood's barsaparilla strengthens, Invigorates and energizes tbe v.’faoie »)stem and makes the dekintatsd victim of catarrh feel that new life has been Imparted.

I didn't think and the horse was frightened and the wagon smashed and human limb and Ute periled. I didn't think and tbe engine was thrown off the track and the cars crushed and tbe pas­ sengers maimed and killed. I didn’t think and a sacred promise was broken and great Injury done to the Innocent. “I didn't think." What does It mean? Why. It means. I didn't mean it. I did not do It on purpose, wiltully. malici­ ously. But you ought to have thought It was tbe very time to think. It Is some palliation that you did not thmk. But this la all that can be meant. You are not justified; There la sin. and great sin. In the very fact that you didn't think. Yet the speech Is Otten repeated, as thoughtlessly as the deed Itself was done, and as It It wm a per­ fect justification. The person rushes on. thonghtlew and reckless as even counting himself sinless because he did not think; and the habit becomes fixed and life to spent In piling up sin and guilt mountain high.

American women should take a leaeon upon the uaea ot the tan and 1how to handle it gracefully and effectively. The graceful use of the fan Is anart almost exclusively confined to Span­ ish Italian and French women. German women are decidedly m arrears on this point, and the CNneas and Japanese women do not. from the standpoint of grace, understand the art ot using the fan with effectiveness. The English women rank about with their German cousins In thin respect and the American woman Is too little at her ease; she lacks repose ot man­ ner and, too, that aubtle grace that includes none ot that energetic mannertarn ot the American beauty, whose free-thinking, self-will, and decided opinions are manifested In tbe manner with which ahe wields (not sways) what Is woman's most effective weapon when skilfully manipulated.

One of tho foreign attaches who has returned to Washington gives a hum­ orous account of his experience la the Hantlago campaign, whites a Washing­ ton correspondent of the Chicago Trib­ une. Nevertheless It affords an Imrtgfct into the qualities of the American sol­ dier which caused the early capitula­ tion of the city. AU the observer* from abroad, in reporting to their respective governments, are understood to be more or less critical of the manner Id which the campaign was conducted, re­ gardless of the canons of scientific war­ fare. But all acknowledged that, for tbe a city fortified and defended aa Santi­ ago was, the surrender was forced with marvelous skill. This attache, in speaking of hie own experiences the other day, said: "I fear it will n&t be possible for my government to understand It all. I tell of many things that might not be agreeable to your war department, and it would not be courteous for me to speak of those thlnga But my trouble with my own military superiors will be because of your American language. Some things I cannot translate. When I saw your infantry going forward against the opposing troops In the forts and intrenchments I said to the officer with me that the infantry should not attempt such a movement without more artillery. 'You’re right,’ he told me, ’but the boys are getting there.’ At night when we were all ao hungry I ventured tu inq’Ulre if a further move­ ment were contemplated till your army was provisioned. Then the officers, who were very gentlemanly, all laughed and said the army would think about rations when they ‘got there.’ Tho second day we met many wounded men coming back as we were going forward. When the colonel asked them about the fighting so many times I heard them *ay, 'We got there.’ And afterwardfl also J heard those words very often.

Usually an cotsi^a cook is called in to prepare the meal, for evvry man in tho ship is going toenjey the tediday, and no one works.

The greatneaa and irapremecy of tbo pumpkin are unlvermlly acknowledged, and the fact that It i, sometime. called r punkin does not detract from its fair fame.

Whether the pumpkin pie be made at home by hand or in a factory by ma­ chinery tho effect seems to be the same You cannot taste the wheels in the fac­ tory made pie because the pumpkin pie is a wheel itself whose magnificence dwarfs tbe other wheels into insignifi­ cance; Furthermore, it is pumpkin pie, and when you say that you have no room for hostile argument. The pump­ kin pie, whether square, round ot ob­ long, is warranted to adjust itself to any stomach, the stomach gracefully exerting all its power of elasticity that the pie may be comfortably located, to assimilate with the turkey,-until the spirit is suffused with dreams of peace and resignation and the diner feels so kindly toward everybody and every­ thing that ho refuses to doubt the ac­ curacy of ice scales and gas meters, while the fact that the plumber is re­ garded as p moral monstrosity strikes him as an empty fantasy.

Tbe selection of the turkey for the star part was happy, because every one likes turkey, be it hot, cold or canned.

Being a true epicure the Young Man ate in silence, and Mr. Putancall’s mind was too much confus­ ed with unaccustomed thoughts for him to do any talking. But when they had Quaffed their cider and lit their cigars the Young Man leaned back in his chair and remarked': “I trust you have enjoyed the. day?” “Indeed I have.

Idaho ......... Wedded lliirols Indiana A review of the democratic state plat­ forms this year shows that party hope­ lessly and indissolubly wedded to free silver. Eleven states only have failed to de­ clare either fof free coinage or the Chi­ cago platform. They are New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Louisiana, South Da­ kota and Wyoming. This leaves the sound money democ­ racy in a hopeless minority, and indi­ cates that it will have little or no influ­ ence in the next national convention. But notwithstanding the preponder­ ance of sflver sentiment in that party it is in nowise discouraging to the cause of honest money, for the reason that the democracy of the 11 states named, see­ ing the futility of an attempt to nomi­ nate or elect a sound money democrat to the presidency,»will cooperate in all probability with the party that makes the gold standard the principal plank In its platform.

Not •one single republican convention failed to •meet the currency question. the London Mall, in directing attention to statistics showing that England Is march­ Ing backward while her jlvsla are march­ Ing. forward, says the United States is rapidly becoming tbe richest country on tbe globe. He points out that the United States is keeping the rest of tbe world out of Ito great borne market, as well as forc­ ing Ito own way victoriously into tbe world’s market*. Our exports for tbe seven months of 1898 were >881,796,571, against 8549,929.553 in tbe corresponding period of last year, whereas our Imports, In confutation of tbe free-trade theory of automatic balances, dwindled from 8506,­ 481.179 to 8377,925,904. Tbe London Mall directs the attention of Englishmen to the fact that In recent years the Imports into England have ex­ ceeded tbe exports, and tbe disparity, though already tremendous, is still grow­ ing. In 1897 tbe total Imports into Eng­ land amounted to 81,955.872,750, while the exports of home products amounted to 81,171.098.540, leaving tbe excess of im­ ports over exports 8784,274,210. The ex­ cess of imports over exports in 1896 was 8725,000,000. The disparity la expected to be still greater this year than last The value of foreign manufactures sold In Great Britain since last Jan. 1 Is 8327,000,­ 000, against 8321,000,000 In 1897. This shows that England spent in foreign man­ ufactures nearly SO. 000,000 more In 1898 than sbe spent In 1897, while the United States, through its protective policy, man­ ufactured more goods for the home market and sold more of Ito own manufactures abroad than ever before. Had tbe anti-expansionists had their way In tbe time of Jefferson and Monroe tbe United States would not have made such rapid progress in wealth and power and influence, and would nut be able at tbe end of this century to stand alone. Under the expansion policy of tbe fathers, however, tbe territory of tbe nnlon was extended southward and westward, giving us a coast line on tbe gulf and tbe Pacific as well as tbe Atlantic. The distinctively American policy of the republican party has made the Union stronger and more prosperous. Building on a sure founda­ tion, tbe United States Is, as tbe London Mail declares, rapidly becoming tbe rich­ est country In tbe world. Tbe policy that brought about this condition will enable tbe United States to stand alone in the great struggle for tbe control of Pacific trade. The first teat of armor plate for war­ 'ships, of American make manufactured by the Krupp process was given by tbe Beth­ lehem, Pa., war company at its proving grounds on Thursday, in tbe presence of many notable American engineers, and also Russian ordnance engineers, wbo came to witness the experiment, which re­ sulted In a great success. The plate did not receive a crack though shots weighing 253 pounds were fired against It, with a velocity ranging from 1,600 to 1,800 feet per second.

Gor­ don, tbe ex-Con federate General, will lecture in the opera house on the "Last Days of the Confederacy,” under tbe aus­ pices of the Club Lecture Course. We nave again and again catted attention to the great pfivHegva given the people of this city by reason of the Club Lecture Ocurse, and tbote privileges will be <•..»•sldered emphasized by all whollsten toGeu. Gordon. We believe we are justified In 8*ylng that no living man has done more or labored harder, to reconcile tbe north and south than has Gen. Gordon. His lecture Is from the heart, and what he Bays Is spoken in that earnest, loyal, patri­ otic manner that captivates and thrills. Monday evening Gen. Gordon lectured in toe Auditorium In Grand Rapids and that Immense hall was filled almost to suffocation an<j the great platform was crowded with the representative citizens of Grand Rapids, all anxious to listen to the eloquent address and to express their confidence In and respect for the noted lecturer. In a column article with brief extracts from toe lecture the Grand Rapids Herald of Tuesday paid many compliments to tbe lecture and the lecturer, and said after tbe following closing paragraph Gen. Gordon was given three rousing cheers: "Standing in the presence of comrades who wore tbe bine, let one wbo repre­ sents the gray pledge his honor and that of bls e< mradea in gray, and those people whom be represents, that we will stand by you and the flag for universal repub­ lican liberty. That Immortal banner shall ever wave. Whether or not It shall touch the suullght of those far-off Islands, or what else may befall it, we must stand by each other that this banner through all coming ages may remain the proudest and most potential on all lands and oceaus.” That Gen. Gordon will be greeted with a large and appreciative audience goes without saying. The Lecture Course this year promises to be especially attractive. Six splendid entertainments are given this year, instead of five as In tbe past, and all for tbe sum of 81.50 for a full seasou ticket and 81.00 for a students ticket. Tbe idea of the Club Lecture Course Is not to make money -but to give tbe citizens of Hastings and vicinity an opportunity of seeing and bear­ ing some of tbe best lecturers, musicians and entertainers Id the country. With this purpose In view it should be most liberally patronized, because upon liberal patronage depends the ability to get the best of talent In tbe future.

Tbe condition is below 100 in only three counties In tbe southern section, vhw— Ionia, St Clair and Van Boren. Tbe condition is higher than on November 1 in any year since 1800. Tbe average condi­ tion that jear was one point higher than now in each of the three sections of the lower peninsula, and two higher in tbe State. The average one year ago was 8*j in tbe State. 75 In the southern, 88 in the central, and 103 In the northern counties. The weather since wheat was sowed has been remarkably favorable for con­ tinuous growth. September was a month of high temperature and fair amount of rainfall. The mean temperature of the State for the month waa 63 degrees which is 3 above the normal. The excess com­ pared with the normal In each of the several sections of Slate was practically the same as for tbe State. Tbe temperature not only averaged high but it was uniformly high. The highest daily maximum at Lansing was 92 and the lowest 02, and tbe highest daily mini­ mum was 73 and the lowest 28. Tbe lowest temperature recorded at Lansing was six degrees above tbe freezing point. Tbe total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers since tbe October report was published is 2,098,674. and In tbe three months, August. Septem­ ber and October, 5,965,955. This Is 867,960 bushels more than reported marketed In tbe same months last year. The average yield of corn per a re In the state Is estimated at 57 bushels of ears, equal to about 28 bushels of shelled corn. Tbe estimate for tbe southern counties is 53, central 62, and northern 47 bushels of ears. Tbe average for the State Is one bushel lower than made October 1. Tbe average yield In the State in the eighteen years, 1879-1896, was 53 bushels of ears or about 26 bushels of shelled corn. The area of clover seed harvested is estimated at about one-half tbe area In average yean, and tbe yield per acre at 105 bushels. Just wbat these figures mean In total crop cannot be definitely determined, the acreage haring fallen off greatly In recent years. In 1889 It was 274.938 acres, and in 1896 only' 30,000 acres. At most tbe estimates mean that the y ield per acre is good on a very small acreage. •* Potatoes are estimated to yield about three-fourths of an average crop. The figures for the several sections aie:— Southern counties. 78; central 71: north­ ern 69, and upper peninsula 87. Live slock is In good condition. The percentages are 99 for horses, 97 for cattle. 98 for sheep, and 96 for swine, comparison being with slock In good, healthy and tbrlftv condition. Washington Gardner, Secretary of State.

When the news of Dewey’s victory •reached Pennyroyal, a remote West’ern village, and that was not many xtays ago, it caused no excitement aud there was no celebration of any kind, but on Saturday night John Bridge's •tore was crowded with men. who ■ranted to hear a description of battle by Daniel Doble and an explanation of some things that were not understood. “What I can't get through my nod­ dle," said Pontius Anderson, “is how none of the Spanish cannon balls ididn't go right through our boats jest th’ same as our balls went through theirn.” “Simple enough,” said Daniel Doble, ** ’cause our boats is made o' soft met­ al an’ theirn’s made o’ brittle.

Mi The turkey, like Thanksgiving day, with which he is inseparably associated in the American mind, is, in the lan­ guage Of a proud Yankee, “one of the fasti tootions." It had been domesticat­ ed and bred in the old world' before the pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth Bock, presumably by tbe Spaniards, wbo captured specimens in Mexico and trans­ ported them to Europe. In every part of the American continent except the frig­ id regions of the extreme north tbo earliest settlers found the turkey in its wild state. The species of fowl which waa regarded aa so toothsome at tbe first American Thanksgiving was t^e bird of today in hia unenlightened condition. The pioneers of all parts of tbe Unit­ ed States where there were extensive tracts of forest found wild turkeys in great abundance, and even in tbe daya when deer were plentiful no hunter ecorned thia bird aa unworthy of his prowess. Wild turkey hunting was and. yet is a royal sport wherever the bird exists. He ia considered noble glime and, like the deer and the buffalo, has rapidly disappeared from many of hia former haunts before the march of civi­ lization. He is now seldom found in his native state except in the larger forests of the great north and northwest, the brush lands of Arkansas and the Indian territory and the jungles of aemitropical Florida. Within tho memory of many sports­ men turkey nunting waa considered great sport in southern Indiana and Illi­ nois, and tbe writer, who is “one of the trade,” has brought down more than one of tbe proud birds by the skillful use of hia father’s ancient, long barreled rifle. The methods of taking tbe turkey all require the exercise of ingenuity. The bird is timid and regards man as his natural enemy. It is and has been since the turkeys of tbe country first observed that a man with a gun pro­ duced great noise and much slaughter among them impossible to get near enough to render a shot certain of re­ sults without approaching the game un­ der oover. When turkeys were plentiful in the great wooded tracts of the Ohio and the Mississippi valleys, the hunters in the daytime sought for their roosts, which were easily found by means of the faeces. Then he concealed himself with­ in easy range of the plaoe and awaited sunset, when a large' flock would ap­ proach the place and one by one fly up to thq almost horizontal brunches on which the birds prefer to roost A shot at that time would put an end to the sport The hunter must wait until the last of tbe flock has mounted the perch and tho twilight has so deepened that he can but just fix by bis vision the muzzle sight of his rifle in the little nick of the one nearer tbe breech. If be remains out of sight, he may be able to securo two or even three birds ere the darkness puts an end to his sport Then he gathers up bis game and goes home to return long before the cock crows, for at break of day his turkeys will leave that roost never to return. If he is careful, be may get two more of the flock as a result of his early morning visit. Then comes another ruse of the hunt­ er, by the skillful exercise of which he may. be able to inveigle two or three moro of the turkeys to their death. In the wing of each turkey is a hollow bone, that can readily be transformed into a whistle, the note of which, when properly blown, very closely resembles the call of a turkey. Not far away and well concealed lies tbe “daylight mur­ derer’s accomplice. ” As soon after their flight from tbe perch as the turkeys dis­ cover that all has become quiet and the gobblers have mustered up a little cour­ age, they begin calling for the purpose of collecting the remnant of the flock preparatory to a permanent departure from the scene of the massacre. The second hunter softly answers with his whistle, and tbe chances are great that he will by often responding to the in­ quiring cry lure tho turkey within range of his gun. A sharp report, re­ peated over and, again by the echoing hillsides, a flutter of wings in a death struggle on the ground, and tbe forest is again wrapped in silence. After an hour of waiting the hunter sounds hia call, then listens for a faint response. If none is heard, he ventures again. A third effort ia likely to elicit an answer unless the turkeys have be­ come so terrified by the last shot that fay common impulse they have fled pre­ cipitately alone or in very small groups. If they have hidden themselves in clumps of bushes or the tops of fallen trees to which the withered foliage is ■till clinging, tbo hunter may got an- a pretty effect,, but she is not arranging an appropriate decoration for Thanks­ giving. Thanksgiving is an American festival, and exotics are out of plaoe if one desires to preserve tbe American spirit in her decorations. Those hardy flowers which might grow out of doors in American yards are the best suited to Thanksgiving ornamentation, and of these tho chrysanthemum is naturally first. That obliging flower comes in almost every possible shade now and can be made to harmonise with any scheme of color decoration. It is as white aa a snowdrop; it is tawny yellow and pale yellow; it is reddish bfown and dear red; it is pink; it ia soft lilac. Each of these colara oomos In numberless sorts of blossoms—big ones, with tightly curled leaves, and little ones, with strag­ gling, ragged leaves. No woman can despair of beautiful results who uses plenty of chrysanthemums. A glass bowl full of tbe starry white blossoms set on a table of polished ma­ hogany er deep red cherry is most effect­ ive. A bowl of dark red ones glowing in fine contrast to the polished oak of a library table is beautifuL Mantels on which plants full of blossoms are set are lovely if blossoms of one color are chosen. The deep yellow ones with edges darkening to brown are particu­ larly good for this massed style of deco­ ration. One woman, who appreciates the value of cheesecloth, has covered tbe wall above her fireplace and mantelshelf with dark red cheesecloth gathered rather fully. On the center of the man­ tel itself abo has arranged to have a low, big bowl of white chrysanthemums, while old fashioned glass candelabra at each end will add to the glittering, bright effect Smilax ia not to be despised in deco­ ration. Chandeliers and window frames may be wreathed with it, mantel mir­ rors half hidden beneath a latticework of it, and streamers of it suspended from available picture frames. Of course tho cool, feathery green is not particularly appropriate for Thanksgiving decora­ tion, but it serves as a delightful back­ ground for warmer, moro glowing floral effects. ' Besides chrysanthemums, which by their size and profusion at this season of the year loud themselves particular­ ly to Thanksgiving decoration, there are baradia, with its coral, pink and red blossoms, roses of all description?, vio­ lets and tbe like. The woods still have trailing vines of red aud bronze pine boughs and cones, brilliant leaves and dusky berries. The clever woman makes use of these profusely in decorating her house at Thanksgiving, and they seem particularly appropriate.—New York World. "As long aa my boss hangs on, ” said the big workman, "I’m sure of just as flno a dinner for Thanksgiving as the market affords.” “Invited to his house?’’ “No, of course not Ho has too much sense to set me down to a table with a lot of the upper crust. I'd feel like crawling under tbe board and could no more eat than if I was gagged and handcuffed. He sends the stuff to the house, and we never get it all closed out much before Christmas.” "Does ho treat all his men that way?” "Couldn’tafford it. He has hundreds of them, you know. But me and him had what he calls an escapade a good many years ago. You know, I was ooachman for old Grinder. He had a daughter, the prettiest woman in the state, and with spirit enough to lead an army. My present boss fell in love with her. Grinder fairly kicked the roof off the house and told me to do the same with the young boss if I ever caught him on tho premises. About that time I was—well, rather in love with Miss Grinder’s maid, and she told me mighty plain that if I took sides with old Grind­ er against his daughter I’d have to go away from home to do my courting. It was a warm Thanksgiving day when the young folks planned to elope. The mistress wanted me to drive them, but I told her in a meaning way like that I better drive the old gentleman when he took up the chase. She saw the point and told me not to hurt him serious. “Sure enough, when Grinder beard the girl had slipped away after dinner he was a cyclone. Away he went in a light buggy with a fast horse. On tha creek bottom road I managed an upset and dragged him through slush and mud for a quarter of a mile. .He wm mad enough to murder some one, but ■o he forgave the young folks and set tbo boss up In bnaineas "—Detroit Free Herald Eclipse Horizontal Oak or Steel Body, Air-Tight, with a Deep Ash Pit A Very Popular Style of Wood Heater. ... .

The price asked for what are tech* nlcally known as Lincoln hogga and and wethers is 8 3-4d. With the ex­ ception of a short time in 1892, when Lincoln wethers were at 8^d. per pound, all English and Irish wool is lower in price this season than at any other time in the history of man. The consumption for coarse wools is almost entirely gone, fashion having com­ pletely changed on fine-grown wools. This seems to be the contention, hers also. The demand for course wools has very much decreased of late, and In the United States, our chief market for wools, only flne-growri varities are wanted. 1188, the practice of dehorning cattle haa rapidly grown 1b favor, until ah present it is commonly practiced in many sections. Illinois is credited with being the first state to advocate 1t From the first many have strenu­ ously objected to it, numerous law suits resulting therefrom. Most of these prosecutions have taken place under the law for the prevention ot cruelty to animals. Many states have had test oases, but no one in the United States, so far as we can learn, has been convicted where the case was carried to the higher courts. Canada has gone further than any. other country in instigating legal pro­ ceedings to settle the question. A commission was appointed by the govin irh9 in I j I I । I । I l ed with reasonable skill.

Pure food; that is, water fresh and free from foul ordors as well as from disease germs. This fact Is manifest on rememberance that water makes up a large proportion of all milk and passes so rapidly from the stomach into the circulatory system. The quality of milk that a cow gives is directly governed by the quality of water she drinks. In view ot this fact, Jersey cattle owners can not be too careful in pro­ viding a plentiful supply of fresh, clean, pure water for their cattle— cows And calves as well. No artificial device is bo good as a natural spring branch running over a gravel and sand ■bottom. The supply from a good spring is constant and doea not de­ pend an the hand-pump, the windmill or the water-ram; It is always fresh and maintains very nearly the same temperature the year 'round and is not likely to be Infested with any of the or dors or poisons to which the stag­ nant water of ponds is so liable. Of course when a spring can not be had other sources must be sought. The ends aimed at should be abundance, purity and ease of access. Every pas­ ture and every barn lot should be well supplied. Cows need a very large supply of water. Who will sand their *MreM to B. I. Btmlar, InaaUnaUon Ageat tor Boub Da­ kota, Boom MS, Old Colony Bldg., Ubka- Chas. Marshs 11.

Greatly disappointed, the deacon and hie wife resolved to make some amends for the loss to the minister, ar.d there­ fore aelected their nicest cheese, and ln a <x>Tered baaket, and sent it, with a polite note, by their two boys. It was berry-time, and the boys me do frequent stops, both going and coming. When they returned, great wtyj the surprise of the deacon to find a note from the minister, cordially thanking nim for the present of a quarter of mutton, and aaklng him to adeept the gilt contained in the basket as an ex­ pression of his regard. “Mutton—mutton?" eaid the deacon; i vm Prt**bly thinking of the dheep I killed yesterday, when he wrot$ the note. But let me examine the basket” He opened it, and there was a fiat stone! The deacon was a good man, but this aroused his indignation, and he dould not refrain from speaking harshly of such treatment from one he had al­ ways considered his friend. By the ad­ vice of his wife, in the afternoon he call­ ed on the minister for an erplanatlon, taking with him a email cut of mutton for a peace-offering. The minister and his wife had Just gone out, and as tho deacon was talking with their little girl, he happened to look Into an open payjry, and there spied the very quar­ ter of mutton stolen from him the night previous; he knew it by the marks he nad made In dressing IL Without an­ other word, he seized It, and went home in great wrath, convinced that the min­ ister was a thief, and determined to have nothing more to do with him. The minister on his return was equally in­ dignant at tbe conduct of the deacon, but prudently resolved to say nothing of the matter. For three weeks after, the deacon and his wife were absent from church. Ev­ erybody wondered why, but be would make no explanation, neither would the minister. Finally a meeting of the church members was called, with a determinate to have the strange ac­ tions of the deacon explained, and he resolved to let the whole ctory out. He told the circumstancefl, and expressed greirt grief at what he considered the shameful conduct of the minister. The latter, gentleman then made hie state­ ment. He said that the deacon’s boy’s had brought him a quarter of mutton in a basket, and that in return he had placed therein a neat family Bible. Everybody now looked nt bls neigh­ bor. wondering what it could mean; some thought them both crazy, others thought it witchcraft. AH was still as the grave for some minutes, when.there nfose a man formerly known as Wicked Will, who had lately reformed and joined the church. "Brethren,’’ said he, in a trembling voice. "I stole that quarter of mutton. On my way home in the night I was chased by wolves, and climbed a tree for safety, where 1 had to stay until' they went away in the morning. Being afraid to take the meat home by day­ light. I hid it in the woods; but to make sure of it 1 stayed near the place, in­ tending to carry it away early tn the evening. While there, the deacon’s boys came along, and from my hiding­ place I heard them speak of what had happened. I also found that it was too warm for the meat to keep through the day, and so. when they were busy gathering berries. 1 slipped in thecheese out of the basket and put in the meat. When they returned they stopped again, and hearing them speak of a present for the deacon. I examined the basket; and finding a nice package there. I thought it might be valuable, so I took ft out ad put in the stone. But that is not all. On reaching home safe­ ly 1 opened the package to examine my prize. While carelessly turning over the leaves, my eyes fell upon tho passage, 'Thou shalt not steal;' and from that momeni I found no peace until I became a changed man." Thus the whole mystery was solved; and the deacon and the minister were cot only reconciled, but they heartily rejoiced together that their temporary loss of peace had resulted in so great a good as the reformation of Wicked .Will. * New Silks “8 Velvets Thousands of pieces now opened up for tbta season’s trade, S0133® °f the new things are;- jay Novelty Silks: * flfl fl fl fl­ fl ALL SILK DAMASS in two toned colorings to new and beautiJul 8h»des, 50c and 75c.

After young turkeys are three weeks old they can,be fed wheat screenings and other cereals. A mixture of corn, meal and wheat bran moistened with milk is also much relished by them at this age. After they are several months old. If let to run at large, they will readily find their own food in the form of grasshoppers, etc. The greatest difficulty In caring for young turkeys is to keep them free from lice and dampness, both being fatal to them. They should be kept in. their crop in perfectly dry quarters during the night and until the dew is off the grass In themorning.afterwhich they might be premitted to enjoy thole freedom. ; The hen and her young should be examined occasionally, and if found to be infested with lice, she should be dusted with insect powder. These are essentials In successful turkey raising and should be careftilly looked after. A line flock of turkeys is well worth tbe care it requires to raise them. Give the breeding flock plenty of room to exercise, nothing less than full range of the farm, If you are in posses­ sion of ona They will need but little feed during the summer months If al­ lowed to roam about the fields where they please. During (he winter months they should have excess to plenty of food in the shape of various kinds of grain. Turkeys cannot be overfed; they instinctively eat only as much as they need. Roosting places should also be pro­ vided for them, in the form of sheds. Turkeys always seek a high roosting place, generally roosting to limbs of tiees in order to escape danger from enemies that might reach them from the ground. The limbs of trees .how­ ever, are not suitable,roosting places as the turkeys are thus exposed to cold and severe storms,thbrefor they should be trained to roost in u shed of some ^ihfl- L/MV£fl5/TV Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the School most worthv of your patronage.

Ere tbe Bannek reaches many of ita readers thia week they will have enjoyed the blessings of Thanksgiving, and all tbo pleasing associations that tbe day implies. Seldom In the history of the country hao greater interest attended tbe approach of Thanksgiving than this year. It has truly been a year of history-making, a year fraught with many responsibilities, and a year without parallel in tbe ooD*umaB>tlun of events that tend for weal or woe In the nation’s welfare. But the central figure of the whole year has been and to now, the clear-headed, keen-sighted man and patriot who baa guided tbe Bblpaf State and added lustre to tbe Aaaerlcam name. That President McKinley appreci­ ates tba duties and responsibilities of bin position may be seen by reading tbe stirring Proclamation wbleb set aside tbto day as one of national Thanksgiving. M reads aa follower By tbe President of the United States. A PROCLAMATION. The approaching November brings to mind the custom of our aneevtora, hallow­ ed by lime and rooted in our meet sacred, traditions, of giving thanks to Almighty, God tor all the blessings He has vouch­ safed to us during tbe past year. Few years in our history have afforded such cauec for thanksgiving as this. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have been wonder­ fully increased, our public credit has been improved and strengthened, all aeetiona of <>ur common country have been brought together and knitted into etoeer bonds ef National purpose and unity. Tbe skies have been for a time darken­ ed by the cloud of war; but as we were compelled to take up the sword in Ike cause of humanity, we ajre permitted to r» Joice that tbe conflict has been of an biter duration, and tbe losses we have had to mourn, though grievous and Im­ portant, have been so few, considering tbe great results accomplished, as to Inspire us with gratitude and praise to tbe Lord of Hosts. We may laud and magnify His holy name that tbe eeeeattoa of hostilities came so soon as to spare both sides the countlees sorrows an< disasters that attend protracted war. I do therefore invite all my feltowcltixens, as well those at home as these who may be at sea or sojourning to foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of November, as a daj of National Thanksgiving. * to eoaae together lu their several places of worship, for a service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of tbe year, flor tbe mildness of tbe seasons and tbe rrultfulnei's of tbe roil, for jbe con­ tinued prosperity of -the people, for tbe devotion and valor of our countryman, for tbe glory of, our victory and Ike bqpo of a righteous peace, and to pray that the Divine guiaan~e which ban brought us heretofore to safety and honor may ba graciously continued in the years to coma.

Washington, Nov. 21.—The report of Burgeon General Sternberg on the work of the .medical department during the Spanish war says: ■•Immediately upon the declaration of war, April 21. officers In charge of the med­ ical supply depots were directed to make arrangements so that supplies could be immediately obtained for 100,000 men for six months. Requests from the medical officers for supplies were always granted. "In my opinion the reduction of the age limit from 21 to 18 years, and the haste with which the volunteer regiments were or­ ganised and mustered Into the service were responsible for much of the sickness which was reported ixj, the early days of their camp life. AH military experience shows that men under 21 years break down easily under the strain of war service, and eVery regiment had many of these youths in its ranks.

New York, Nov. IB. — During a dense fog a Pennsylvania train ran upon a a gang of workmen on the Hackensack Meadow. It is now definitely known that twelve men were killed and five injured. Thomas Dougherty was supposed to be on the lookout for approscking trains. He was a considerable distance up tbe track from the gang of laborers, and he evidently did not see the train, for he gave no warning. His body waa hurled 90 feet through the air. •ey, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania. South Dakota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Delaware, Florida, Illinois.

In the first trial two gel di uh in good bea-th were fed hay and grain for about two weeks. MIHM waa then substituted for hay for about ten days. The same ration as at the beginning waa then fed for tour days. The temperature ot the air, the tem­ perature of the horses, the amount of food and water consumed, the weight of the horses, and the amount of unue excreted were determined. During a number of days the specific gravity, and in some cases the total solids, nitrogen, and ash In the urine were determined. All tbe horses were driven dally for exercise. The second teet was similar to tha first, and was made with two mares. One of the mares became very lame and could hardly stand, and suffered from time to Ume from retention of the urine. She was killed and a postmor'em examination of the carcass wu made. Th. odrer mare did «>t show as marked symptoms durlsg the teat. However, when fed millet for about three months, she would become so lame In the joints of the hind legs that it was almost impossible for her to walk. When feeding millet was dis­ continued she ? lameness was again produced by millet feeding. After about two years of altero ate periods of millet and hay J®ed~ Ing she became practically worthless. Circular letters were sent out to far­ mers asking for Information concern­ ing millet feeding for horses. A num­ ber of replies were received. The foJlowlng conclusions were arrived at: Feeding millet alone as coarse fodder is injurious to horeee. It P^uces an in­ creased action of the causes lameness and swelling of the joints. It caoeee an infusion of blood into the joints and destroys the texture of the bone, rendering it soft and lose tenacious, so that the llgamenui and muscles are easily torn loose.

EDITORIAL NOTES. As a revenue producer and a factory -wpener the Dlngiey tariff Is proving itself to be strictly all right. Tbe “Chinese Wall” that the Dlngiey tariff was going to build around this coun­ try doesn't seem to be even started. Many of the factories of tbe country are twoa Ing night and day and can't keep up with orders. Perhaps this can also be traced to that monstrous Dlngiey tariff MIL With exports increasing and imports de­ creasing the future seems very bright for this oaeatry, despite that awfal Chinese wall that tbe democrats said the Dlngiey tariff would build up. Wbat an awful thing that Dlngiey tariff has proven to be! Tbe gold reserve is tbe highest In tbe history of tbe country, In­ terest charges are the lowest, and pros­ perity is increasing. It’s simply awful. la all there were 1,793 vessels that passed through tbe Saez Canal last year. How many do you suppose were Ameri­ can? Just four, that's all. This speaks poorly for the merchant marine of tbe greatest nation on eartb. Of all tbe nations in the world tbe * lotted States is making tbe most rapid sarogrees In tbe extension of its commerce, sjapecially its export trade, and It should wA be forgotten that the United States is che leading nation endorsing the protective nelioy.

They do not consult a physician because of the well-founded fear that he will insist upon disgusting ‘‘examinations" and "local treatment." Dr. Pierce’s Fa­ vorite Prescription does away with all necessity for these ordeals. It cures in the privacy of the home. It restores health and strength and vigor to the delicate or­ gans concerned in wifehood and mother­ hood. It tones, invigorates and builds up the nerves and transforms nervous, over­ wrought sickly invalids into healthy, happy wives and mothers. Dr. Pierce is an eminent and skillful specialist who has been for thirty years chief consulting phy­ sician to the Invalids* Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He will answer, without charge, all letters from ailing wom­ en. The “Favorite Prescription" is for ■ale by all good dealers. “ I suffered from womb trouble for about twelve •ix different physicians, but found only tempor­ ary relief, I then used six bottles of Dr. Pierce a Mkvorite Prescription and three of ’Pleasant Tenets.’ I am a new wcanan.

D.. iSKat ten o’clock *r SMlrned for the hearin^ol sal r U oO»r Mnou Inb Id 3 Vl.t.r, The republican administration of President McKinley bas been supported by the people of the oountry in the election of a republican senate and a republican house of represen to tivea. The control of both branches of con­ gress now rests with the republican party, and the country has demon­ strated anew its fidelity to the princi­ ples of the party and to the policies to which the party is pledged. Once more by the election of republican legisla­ tures in the various ststes the senate has been tramrformed into a republic­ an body, and the house, while losing much of Its republican strength, still possesses a republican majority suffi­ cient for all purposes of legislation. By this transformation of a day the country has been the gainer. The sen­ ate has finally emerged from its condi­ tion of doubt and uncertainty, and the adverse majority made up of demo­ crats, silverites and populists has been overcome, to the benefit of the nation. States which have been republican and have turned aside from the straight path to follow the phantoms of Bryanism, free silver and populism have re­ turned to the republican ranks, and once more California, Indiana, Nebras­ ka, New York, North Dakota and Wis­ consin will be represented in the senate by republican senators, instead of by a divided delegation. In California Hon. Stephen M. White will give way to arepublican, boou to be chosen by the leg­ islature. Indiana has voted to dispense with the services of Hon. David Turpie, a pronounced Bryanlte and free silver democrat, and he will be succeeded by a sound money republican. No less gratifying is the assurance of the de­ feat of Hon. W. V. Allen, populist, of Nebraska, whose place will be more yvorthily filled by a sound money re­ publican. What the country loses In wind it will gain in wisdom. New York will send to Washington a repub­ lican colleague for Hori. T. C. Platt, and Hon. Edward Murphy, Jr., will re­ tire to Trojan seclusion. North Dakota will send a republican to supplant Honx W. N. Roach, and Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, of West Virginia, will yield his seat to a republican successor. Wis­ consin will return another republican senator to succeed John L. Mitchell and to act aa the colleague of Hon. John C. Spooner. The little state of Delaware distinguishes itaelf by elect­ ing a republican legislature, which will in turn choose a republican senator to succeed Hon. George Gray, now in Paris with the peace commission. Thus the state of Bayard breaks a long suc­ cession of democratic senatorahips to provide a seat for a republican. Final­ ly, New Jersey elects a republican legitisture, which will choose a republican senator to succeed Hon. James Smith, Jr. ' • All these are gains, and perhaps be­ fore the record is closed other names may be added to the Hat of republican recruits in the senate. Meantime, it is gratifying to note that not in a single state has the republican representa­ tion Ln the senate been disturbed. Each state now represented by a republican will remain true to the faith, returning either the present senator or a fellow republican. The net gain, therefore, of ten or a dozen seats places the senate securely under republican control and i emoves the opposition of combined democrats, populists and eilverites which has for so long checked repub­ lican legislation in the upper branch of congress. The large republican majority of 55 in the present house of representatives bas not been maintained. Nor was it expected that it would be, even by the most sanguine republican prediction. There is deep comfort, however, in the assurance that the house still remains republican by a safe majority, although the exact figures have ndt yet been de­ termined. The results show that while tbe republicans have lost in the districts of the east, they have made notable gains in the west, especially in states which have in recent years gone over to Bryanism and populism. In New York c(ty and in Chicago the republican loss has been particularly noticeable, while the country districts have, ae a rule, maintained their republican strength, if they hare not increased it. The gen­ eral result insures a republican major­ ity which will be sufficient to enact the legislation which the country demands. Because the republican candidateshave made their fight on national issues and have kept the cause of sound money conspicuously to the fore, the election cf a republican congress is significant of the sentiment of the people through­ out the country. More significant, how­ ever, is the especial tribute of con­ fidence which the voters have given to the administration in the election of representatives who will stand by the administration in the grave and impor­ tant work to come before the next congress.—N.

It would have been in the nature of a public misfortune if a congress had been elected which for one reason or another had been disposed to raise fac­ tious opposition to the pblicy of the na­ tional administration. Much might have been sacrificed and lost in such endeavor. It would have been natural under the circumstances for triumphant democracy to regard the people’s verdict as a rebuke admin­ istered to the administration, and there­ fore that party would have felt bound to oppose and criticise the president’s policy. What effect this would have had upon the questions of the day can only be conjectured now. What en­ couragement it would hare given tOD^r enemies in foreign lands is now only a matter of speculation. But it is fair to infer that such result would not have been advantageous to the country. The president has been sustained, nobly and patriotically. Notice has been served upon the whole world that the American people are standing be­ hind their chief magistrate, and that they do not sympathize with the nar­ row. petty policy advocated by some of the lenders of the democratic party. Broad Americanism was demonstrat­ ed ip the general result of the election.

It is related by an estimable and very pious lady, whose exertions in every work of charity and benevolence have endeared her to our community, that on ber way to Sabbath School, one bright, sunshiny Sunday morning, she saw several boys, one of whom was a newsboy, seated in a doorway playing cards. ^One of them was a Sunday school scholar of the lady. She stopped and insisted that they should accom­ pany her to church. After somei per­ suasion, the three oldest consented, but the youngest, a lad of some six years, persistently refused. "Why won’t you come, my boy?" said the lady; "it is very wrong of you to refuse." . "But I don’t want to go.” "Why. what Is the reason?" The impatience of the little fello waxed desperate, and in an indignant voice, he exclaimed, his hand full of cards: "Would you go to Sunday school with a hand full of trumps like that?"

We are making important his­ tory rapidly, and it was never more true than now that no man can tell what a day, or a year, may bring forth. Free silver has undoubtedly received a heavy blow. The changes in the west are extraordinary, and are to be as­ cribed to that issue alone. In 1696 the silver men controlled the senate. They therefore had but to eccure the house and the presidency in the campaign of that year to write their issue into law. It will be different in 1900.

The national democrats, no called, have been eliminated entirely. They now vote the republican ticket or they vote the democratic ticket. The middle-of-the-road populists, and there were nearly 250.000 of them in 1896, are again in the fold of the fusionists. In the south, the southwest and in the mountain states, the populists and democrats preponderate; in the east­ I ern. middle, middle ^veaterrf and Pacific states, the republican party i» the party of the majority. There are no visible recruits to the democratic standard to be secured by abandonment.of the prin­ ciples to which the party, as a national organization, is committed; there is the certainty of serious and positive losses in any attempted abandonment of the »esue» of two years ago. Unquestionably, the present eco- 1 r.oraic conditions, as well as the polit­ ical relation* of the two parties toward each other, the prestige of republican, victory and the demoralization of the opposing forces, make almost hopeless for the democracy the renewal of the battle of two years ago; but, be the out­ look propitious or discouraging, the lesson of the late election is unmistak­ ably clear: The democratic party is committed irrevocably to the issues of 1896.—N.

In moat of the eulogies of Mr. Glad­ stone there is agreement on tbe main points, says a writer in Harper’s Maga­ zine. Courage first; it b a trait of character In which Mr. Gladstone was never surpassed; it is visible in his whole career and in every gwwt act of his life, and in his death, and the long suffering which preceded it. Hia wa* an august personality. He had not only elevation of character, but the power of elevating others—not merely those with whom be came in contact, but the public life in which he bore so great a part. The house of commons.^ which yielded to him aa to no other, the audiences be addressed, the nation, the empire he ruled—all rose with him to a higher level. Be had a sustained dignity of character “d 00"d’rt la 111 nature wu a profoundly religioua natnre’ wUh h“ eonvieUlAta which rarcr BtilL P*-lon he had-xn in­ rarer stilt Passion he had—an in­ tensity of passion when he was roused or opposed which burned and con­ sumed whgt stood in his way. It was this passionate and emotional quality which stood him in such stead as an orator. But he was greater than his oratory, greater than his deeds. It is not wbpt he did, but what he was, which was felt most deeply and will be longest remembered. Gladstone the man. the extraordinary being who. for more than 60 years, fascinated the world in which he lived, overmastered it, compelled other men to do his will because he was a greater force than they, because he had qualities they had not. because he was of other fiber, of other mold, of loftier, broader, nobler nature than almost any of hia time—that is the Gladstone before whoui^the world has bowed. It is the Gladstone whose memory his country­ men and ours in all time to come will treasure as a possession like none other. GOING INTO THE BATTLE.

Barnett, who Uvea near Media, haa in hia poaaesaion tbe body Of a chicken hawk that waa killed in a pe­ culiar manner, reports the Philadel­ phia Record. Barnett is a general farmer, but makes a apecia’.ty of poul­ try raising. Since he haa owned the farm three old cats left by the former tenant have hung about the place in a aeml-wild state. At first Barnett tried to tame the animals, but they repulsed, all friendly overtures and took up their abode in the barn. However, as they did not harm the chickens they were not molested. The other day, while Barnett was on his barn roof replacing some shingles, he heard a loud cackling in the yard Iclow. Looking down, he saw a num­ ber of his chickens huddled together and seemingly greatly agitated. Then he discovered a large hawk just pre­ paring to make a swoop. Barnett waa preparing to descend to the rescue when the hawk made a plunge at the terrified fowls. The robber was lei­ surely preparing to carry off a chicken when there was a quick patter of feet and the three cats bounded into view. The hawk made au effort to escape with ita prey, but the cats came to the rescue in the nick of time. The hawk made a spunky resistance, but the com­ bined assault of the cats overpowered him, although only after a fierce bat­ tle. Barnett had reached the battle­ field by thia time, and he rescued the hawk's body from the cats. reseive OacBOB Bwassox. Treat. ST. REGIS M5KET BRAND- Do you buy your linen of us?

It does not matter that the mice may be young, as wa* shown in a street car during one of the recent cool aft­ ernoons. One of the passenger* was an elderly woman who wore an oldfashioned Jur cape with an immense bearskin collar. Evidently the cape had just been taken from a chest con­ taining moth balls, for the odor of these preventives was powerful. The car was crowded, principally by wom­ en, *0 the elderly passenger was com­ pelled to stand, and a* the car jolted or swung aroutd a corner she swayed hanging to the strap, sprinkling the glistening particle* of insect destroyer on all who were near. At length the car gave a particularly bad lurch and something fell from the cape into the lap of a lady near by. This something proved upon close inspection to be a tiny mouse. Following closely came several more, distributed with re­ markable fairness on the near-by pas­ sengers. It didn’t take over a half­ minute for every woman in that car to grab her skirts and get on the scats, the overflow taking refuge on the platforms. Their screams attract­ ed the conductor, who came in and threw the little mice out on the street. Meanwhile the innocent cause of all this trouble calmly unfastened her cape and shook out the remain* of a neat, which had been snugly built by some motherly mouse in the long fur. The owner of the cape then seat­ ed herself as calmly as you please end the other women finally subsided. Some Swiss methods are sufficiently antiquated, according to our standards. For instance, it requires 15 minutes in which to make a deposit at a bank, says the Chicago Record. Every banking house has numerous chairs outside the railing, and the visit­ or is expected to sit quietly'and culti­ vate a spirit of patience while the ma­ chinery is'getting under way. A customer who wishes to make a de­ posit goes to a window and hands in his money, together with a memorandum of the amount. The employe behind the railing counts the money and prepares a receipt for it, adding his signature by way of preliminary. Then a small boy takes this receipt upstairs and submits it to an official, who studies it and then ponders for a while as to whether it will be safe to take the money. If he decides that the bank can undertake the risk he passes the receipt to another man, who pre­ pares a duplicate slip and makes several entries, and finally signs his name. Then, as soon as another man has ex­ amined the receipt and added his name, it is taken downstairs and handed to the depositor. There'!* one satisfaction —the money is thoroughly deposited. An American residing In Zurich went to the bank the other day with a check which had been given to him by a busi­ ness man in' a large town near by. He handed in the check, and 20 minutes later received his money, less 14 cents charges. The American was well known at the bank, having been a depositor for about two years. He had indorsed the check. • A busy and nervous Chicago man would have tbrn down the railing be­ fore the 20 minutes expired. The chief source of English miscon- delusion that the restoration of the monarchy is possible. This ought to be dispelled by the practical knowledge of tbe character of the pretenders, says the New York Tribune. The duke of Orleans, when not in Brussels, lives in England. He is not a recluse, but is constantly seen in sociallife and never has impressed anyone aa having the resources of character requisite for re­ gaining the crown. He is a bright* eyed, rosy-faced, callow youth, amiable and harmless. Everyone who has met him smiles at the idea of his ever mak­ ing a serious attempt to overthrow the republic; his functions are exhausted in putting his signature to manifestoes at a safe distance. A well-informed so­ cial leader in London sum* up the mat­ ter thus: “The women in the Orleans familyhave all the brains and talents; the nqen have no force,, and are of no ac­ count” Prince Victor Napoleon lives in Brus­ sels and is equally incapable of rising above the level of small-beer intrigue. The only prince now in right who ia qualified by soldierly qualities and reckless courage for a campaign against the republican order is hia brother, Prince Louis Napoleon, whois popular with the officers of the Russian army. He lacks training in public af­ fairs, and is suspected of being a swag­ gering braggart The republic is high­ ly favored in having no really formid­ able royalist or imperialist conspirator against it.

GOOD- SAPOLIO Just as the seal Nellie is the buffoon of the aquarium, so the pelican plays the part of the clown in the Central park menagerie, says the New York Sun. The two pelicans dwell in a big wire incloeure with a tank in the mid­ dle. The other inmates are a pair of storks and a few herring gulls. Un­ questionably the pelicans are the bosses of the company. Their specialty is low humor and their victims are the dig­ nified storks and the somewhat vapid and characterless gulls. The storks' unfortunate habit of standing on one leg exposes them to constant insult. jut mrre bu The pelicans' custom is to wait until he finds a stork standing in his fa­ vorite attitude close beside the tank He then will waddle up quietly behind him and jostle against him, knocking MOBTGAGK BALK. him into the water.

The discovery of gold in the Klondike has sent a flood of immi­ grants into a territory which was sup­ posed to be almost uninhabitable. And now scientists of Great Britain are mak­ ing a careful investigation of enormous deposits of iron ore. some distance from Stockholm, Sweden, within the ares in­ cluded in the Arctic circle. These new ore fields are apparently of limitless extent and of the ^greatest possible value to the iron industry of Greet Britain, which is rapidly finding itself unable to compete with the cheap prod­ ucts of American orc. These Swedish deposits are said to be among the most valuable ever discovered on either con­ tinent. Following the discovery of gold iu Alaska, this may be taken as an indica­ tion that the mineral wealth of the Arctic regions may ultimately lead to the establishment of a large imputation in those parta of the world nearest the north pole, which have hitherto been little explored, because of their inhos­ pitable climate. An ingenious philoso­ pher has outlined the theory that the previous metals of the world will be found in greatest abundance in the Arctic regions, because, when the world was a molton mass', revolving on its axis, the tendency of all metals waa. naturally, toward the axis or the poles, and that when the plastic moss solidi­ fied the gold and silver were concen­ trated near the poles.

IB A REMARKABLY PLAIN STATE. MENT OF FACTS. President Devotes Tbe meeaake of Prealdeul MeKlaley Is one of unusual length, neoerearlly so because of. tbe changed conditions of this country in regard to foreign relations. On all bands the message is regarded as an exceedingly able and plain state paper free from all attempted rhetorical effect Tbe {message in full occupies about three ordinary newspaper pages, aud we can only make a brief extract He reviews tbe prosperous condition of the country in both manufactures and agriculture, and refers at length to the situation In' Cuba; tbe tedious delays of Spain previous lo the declaration of war, tbe destruction of the Maine aud tbe find­ ings of the board appointed lo ascertain its cause. Following came tbe declara­ tion of war and a narration of the great victories won, together with just praise for all tbe heroes of the war, on both land and sea- He refers to tbe great patriot­ ism of the people as displayed In the bond issue, when our own people, asked to subscribe for 200 million 3 per cent war bonds subscribed for many times that amount, and no single allotment of bonds exceeded $5000. He refeis to tbe occupation of I*orto Rico and Manila and gives tbe total casualties of tbe entire war as follows: ARMY. Officer* killed Knlltud mea killed 257 Died.

Ln 1881 Mr. Black moved to this city aud started In the marble business. In 1888 bls son Frank D. entered into partHersbip with his father under the firm name of A. Black & Son, and since that time the business has grown to extensive proportions, theTr work being sold all over Michigan, and even in adjoining states. Deceased became a member of the Meth­ odist church 56 jears ago and for many years was a class leader. In business he was always upright, careful and conserva­ tive, but his greatest joy and comfort was in hie home life. Always public spirited and enterprising yet he never sought or asked fur preferment of any kind, his dis­ position leading into the more quiet ways of life. About four years ago bls robust constitution began to break down under the weight of yearn, which ended in paral­ ysis—the cause of his doatb. All that medicine and kindly attention could do to make him comfortable were given him un­ til death came to his relief. In business circles, and especially In the home where tie lavished his affections, he will be missed, aud In their bereavement the sorrowing ones have the sympathy of C7 Total;.... si Thus out of an army of over 50^000 that Invaded foreign shores there was a total of only 1948 in killed and wounded, and In tbe campaign on land ahd sea we did not lose a gun or a flag or a transport, or a ship and wltb tbe exception of tbe crew of tbe Merrimac not. a soldier or sailor was taken prisoner. On Aug. 7lh 46 days from the date of Shafter’s landing In Cuba, and 21 day s from the surrender of Santiago lhe U. S. troops commenced to embark fur home, being absent from this country but two months. Tbe President praises the work of Clara Barton and tbe Red Cross; mentions the signing of tbe Protocol, the cessation of strife, and the evacuation of Porto Rico. Ln regard to the government of the new Islands President McKinley says: I “I do not discuss at this time the i government or tbe future of tbe new possessions which will come to us as a result of tbe war with Spain. Such dis­ cussion will be appropriate after tbe treaty of peace shall be ratified. In tbe meantime, and until Congress has legis­ lated otherwise, it will be my duty io continue the military governments which have existed since our occupation, giving to the people security in life and property and encouragement under a just and beneficent rule. Until there is com­ plete tranquility iu tbe Island and a stable government Inaugurated military occupa­ tion will be continued.*’ The relations with all countries, except Spain, has been marked by cordiality, tbe only jar being a claim by the AustroHungarian government for damages for the death of subjects killed in the riots at Lattimer, Pa., when several miners were killed. He also favors the eonatruotion of the Nicaragua Canal to be oontroled by tbe United Stales, stating that the construction of such a maritime highway Is more than ever Indispensable to the ready communication between our eastern and western seaboards, and the extension of our Influence io Pacific commerce. The President commends the wisdom of tbe annexation of Hawaii and asks for such new legislation as will be proper considering the ehanged conditions, lo regard to the disarmament proposal of the C1Br of RumIb lhe Pret|dent says: •’The active military force of the United .States, as measured by our population, territorial area, and taxable wealth, la, and under any conceivable prospective conditions must continue to be. in time of peace, so conspicuously lees than that of lhe armed powers to whom the czar’s ap­ peal Is especially addressed that the ques­ tion can have for us no practical Impor­ tance save as marking an auspicious step towards the betterment of tbe condition of the modern peoples and the cultivation of peace and good will among tliem: but in this view It behooves ns as a nation to lend countenance and aid to tbe beneficent project.” The minister to Turkey carries instruc­ tion* looking to tbe disposal of former controversies, and tbe settlement of our claim* of indemnity growing oat ot tbe Armenian troubles, when America® prop­ erty was destroyed.

Do thoMMe date the amount pf money-of al! kinds in circulation or not lucloded in treasury holdings was $1,888,879,894. an iaareare for the) ear of $166,794,986. Estimating our population at 76.1U4.000 at the time mentioned the per capita circulation was $25.09. The provisions made for strengthening the resources of the treasury la connection, with the war have .given Increased ooufldence in the purpose and power of the government to maintain the preaeet stand­ ard and have established more firmly than ever the national credit at home and abroad. J . A marked evidence of this Is found in the inflow of gohi to the treasury. Its. net gold holdings on Nov. 1, 1898, were $289,885,160 as compared wltb $153£?3X 148 ou Nov. 1‘, 1897, and an Increase of net cash from $307,756,100 Nov. 1, 1897k to $300,288,275 Nov. 1, 1898. The present ratio of net treasury gold outstanding government 11* bill tie*, In­ cluding United State* treasury notes of 1890, silv.er certificates, currency certificatee, standard silver dpi I are. aud frac­ tional silver coin, Nov. 1, 1898. was 25.35. per cent as compared with 16.96 per cent Nov. 1, 1897. I renew so much of my recommendalion of December, 1897, as follows: -That when any of the United States, notes are presented for redemption in. gold and are redeemed in gold such notea shall be kept and set apart and only paid out In exchange for gold. This Is an ob­ vious duty. If the bolder of the United States note prefers the gold and gets It from the government, he should not re­ ceive back from the government a United States note without paying gold io ex­ change for it. The reason for this Is made all the more apparent when the government issues an interest-bearing debt to provide gold for the redemption of United States notee—a noninterest­ bearing debt Surely it should not paytbem out again exeunt on demand and for gold. If they are put out in any other way they may return them again, to be followed by another bond Issue io redeem them—another interest-bearing debt to. redeem a non lute rest-bearing debt” This recommendation was made in the belief that soeh provisions of law wonld insure to ,a greater degree the safety of the present standard aud better protect our currency from the dangers to whleh it is subjected from a disturbance tn ttea geneial business .conditions of the coun­ try. In my judgment the present condition of the treasury amply justifies the im­ mediate enactment of the legislation rec­ ommended one year ago, under which a portion of the gold holdings should be placed In a trust fund, from which greewbacks sboulc be redeemed upon prMenta­ tion, but when once redeemed should not thereafter be paid out except for gold. It is not to be Inferred that other legte- . lation relating to our currency is not re­ quired. On the contrary, there is an obvious domand for It. The importance of adequate provision which will Ininro to our future a money standard now is to that of our commerlcal rivals is generally recognized. The companion proposition that our t domestic paper currency shall be kept safe and yet.be so related to the need&of our industries and interna] commerce M to be adequate and responsive to such needs is a proposition scarcely les* im­ portant. The subject In all Its parte is commended to the wise consideration of the congress. Aid for Merchant Marine. The annexation of Hawaii and the changed relations of the United States to Cflba, Porto Rico and the Philippines re­ sulting from the war compel the prompt adoption of a maritime policy by the United States. There should oe establish­ ed regular and frequent steamship com­ munication, encouraged by the United States under the American Sag, with the newly acquired Islands.

It Is our duty to furnish the peo­ ple of Hawaii with facllltiles under na­ tional control for their export and import trade. It will be conceded that the pres­ ent situation calls for legislation whleh shall be prompt, durable and liberal.

Rockefeller from the Barre (Vt.) granite works, and which is being dressed at the quarry, four miles from town, is near to completion. This monolith, which is to be erected in the Rockefeller famUy lot in Lake­ view cemetery in Cleveland, 0., is by far the largest one ever quarried in Amer­ ica, and is believed to be the tallest and most costly one to mark the last resting place of a private citizen anywhere in the world. In thia matter Mr. Rocke­ feller takes time by the forelock; he is very much alive, and his health, if not exactly robust, is good, and he shows' no sign of breaking down. The cost of this monolith, delivered on board the cars at Barre, will be about 150,000, and at Wait *10,000 more will be expended for transportation to Cleveland and for the erection of the mamsnoth stone in Lakeview cemetery. This *00,000 is the cost of Mr. John D. Rockefeller’s monolith, and is as a drop expenditure upon the family burial plot; it is estimated that the cost of all the shafts, tablet* and vaults erect­ ed on this plot will be fully three-quar­ ters of a million dollars. The dimensions of Mr. Rockefeller’s monolith are rather startling. The stone has been quarried, and is being dressed, in four parts, each of the finest quality of Vermont granite. The bot­ tom base, so-called, is 14 feet square and three feet high; the second base is nine feet two Inches square and three feet ten laches high; the die, which surmount* the last-mentioned piece, is six feet eight inches square and seven, feet high; the spire is five feet square at the base and towers to a height of 52 feet. Tbe total height of the monolith, therefore, is 65 feet and 10 Inches. The weight of the trifle alone is a trifle more than 100 tons, and of the entire mono­ lith about 135 tons. By way of com­ parison it may be mentioned that the Egyptian obelisk, in Central park. New York which is also of granite, is 70 feet in height and weighs about 200 tons. The spire of the Rockefeller mono­ lith is of such great length and weight that it has been a serious problem how to get it to its destination without straining bridge* and crushing road­ beds. Cars of extraordinary strength have been built to transport the huge stone to Cleveland, and a route ha* been chosen which will afford the most substantial roadbeds and the greatest possible freedom from sharp curve*. But though of mammoth size and to cost a comfortable fortune, one of the moat striking feature* of this monolith will be its simplicity; it will be almost devoid of ornament, and the only in­ scription on It will be the word “Rocke­ feller,’’ in large raised letter*. This Is characteristic of Mr. John D. Rocke­ feller,’who does everything well, but nothing with ostentation. Tbe Rockefeller monolith will be the tallest in Cleveland’s beautiful ceme­ tery and with one exception the moat imposing and costly memorial there. It will be erected in the center of a circle of vaults, where, in time, will re­ pose the remains of the entire Rockefel­ ler family.

Its aim as set forth In the ennstitu- from the first and no one has been called tlon is “The mental improvement of Its members In literature and the vital interests of the day.” Within two years after Its organization the limit of membership was advanced to fifty. Its members are. of three kinds, active, associate and honorary. Tbe active mem­ bership list Is always full, the associate membership ranges from twelve to twenty, making a total of about 65 members—-no honorary membership has ever been con­ ferred. This Is composed of the represen­ tative women of tbe city. Since their or­ ganization tbe following fields of historical study have been entered. Egypt, Greece, Rome, England, Germany, France and Spain. Added to this has been a course in political ecoco my, household science and tbe constitution of the United States, while the programs give much time to art, literature, current events and miscel­ laneous subjects of present day Interest. The amenities of social life have also been given a prominent place. Among tbe pleasantest of these occasions was a Colonial supper given on Feb. 22nd, 1894. A musical and social time at the home of upon to contribute a dollar for Ita main­ tenance outside the sale of tickets. The Club has also beautified our city to the ex­ tent of placing a grass plat around tbe Soldiers’ monument, and has protected that by a post and chain Inclosnre, at an expense of about 835. If this act Is ap­ preciated by tbe city fathers tbe Club will expect to see the post recently bent over scon put in place. By tbe courtesy of the board of supervisors the Club has for four years occupied their pleasant room in tbe court bouse and the Club feel very appre­ ciative of this privilege.

The average condition of wheat in tbe state December 1 was 100, comparison be­ ing with average years. The percentages by section are as follows: Southern counties 101, central 97, and northern 98. One year ago tbe percent­ age for tbe state was 88, jKiutbern counties 84, central 91 and northern 101. 101, Fine growing weather prevailed nearly all the fall, and wheat has made unusual fall growth, but correspondents very gen­ erally report the plant looking yellow at the time snow came, and are not certain ae to the cause. A large proportion be­ lieve it due to insects, principally Hessian ■fly, and others to excessively wet weather. The ground has been lightly covered with snow much of the time since about the middle of November. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers since the November report was published Is 1,864,­ 611, and In the four months. August, September, October and November , 7,830,­ 588. This to 163.250 bushels more than reported marketed In tbe same months last after paying tbe expenses of the Club.

Utaglisb sailors and fishermen were add­ ed from time to time, to that tbe people of today are a combination impossible to match in the new world. Like all dwellers in a cold climate, they have become devont and conservative. Once they drank bard, but today prohibition covers them with her white banner. Their Christmas day is more like tbat of the Canadian than of tbe New Eng­ lander or New Yorker. Religions serv­ ices are held, and every one turns ont in his or her best. The clothing is not what would be called fashionable in American cities, but it ia well adapted to the croel climate. Three or four coats and trousers often mark the mankind as many woolen suits the woman. In nearly every churchyard is a shrine to some saint, especially to those connected with the weather. The favor­ ite is tbat of Mary of the Snows, and another Anne, who is said to protect mortals from tbe torments of tbe ice. On Christmas day there are always can­ dles burning in these little shrines and prayers said by wives and daughters whose husbands are on the mainland or the rocky, icebound beach. Here, too, is kept up tbe lovely old practice of the Christmas carols and “the waits." On Christmas eve groups of singers go from house to house or else hold pretty ceremonies of song in the vilh«e church, while on Christmas day church and* house alike echo to the fa­ miliar tunes of Christmas in both Eng­ land and Fran.ce.

Continuing along the road one pomes a Jewish city which was commenced by Sir Moses Montcflore with the idea that ft would be inhabited by poor people of tbe Hebrew faith, and of late years crowds of this persecuted race have been coining to the land of their ancestors and to this par­ ticular city from all parts of the world.

A lady once remarked in my hearing that she thought it a mistake to make only gifts of wearing apparel to poor chil­ dren, even if it was needed. Children, she said, appreciate toys, candles and nuts, or even ornamental gifts more than they do clothes, and that a child would get more enjoyment out of such things, even if bu went with cold foot and bare hands.

Peggy was charming, bat Peggy was chronically unconventional. She had a habit of gently shocking Fifth avenue on an average of once a month and astounding her family about once a week. The truth of tbe matter was, Peggy was simply full of animal spirits, preferred living her own life and laugh­ ed at her more dignified family and the two dozen lovers who proposed on an average of once a month to her. There was of course Donald Cotton, whom she took a little more seriously and consequently tormented a little more assiduously. But as that young man had been cursed with an income and a taste for urban life Peggy made no bones about expressing her good, healthy oontempt for the unillustrious existence he eked out. Clubmen, she said, were always commonplace. She liked men who did things. She liked to eee heroism, she said, and manliness and the spirit of adventure in her friends. All of which made tbe good natured and easy going Mr. Donald Cot­ ton very unhappy. . Each December Donald was in the habit of going up into Maine after moose, and it occurred to him that a few weeks’ absence would not be a bad thing before asking Peggy for the nine­ teenth time to marry him. Before going up in the woods he nat­ urally, had to see Peggy to say goodby, and Peggy, of course, was surrounded by the usual facetious circle when he called. He doggedly sat them out, how­ ever, and got hold of Peggy’s band somehow and told her ho was going and two girls in blanket suits had tho day before started out through the bush. Donald followed up the trail. The mercury went down below tbe zero mark. Temiscamingue took on its first ioe, and snow fell often through the night. In two days he oame upon a camp which bad been broken up but a few hours before. Later in the day they struck high, rolling country. During the afternoon they heard rifle shots, and before dusk they camo upon moose tracks and a well tramped "yard.” Tbat night over the oampflre Donald remembered it was Christmas eve. A Christmas alpnein the northern Laurentfans ie not a cheerful thing. But Christmas morning broke clear ano cold.

"Mooee hunting is awfully dangerous work,” aaid Donald, “and something might happen.” “Dangerous for what, you silly boy? Chilblains?” said the unfeeling Peggy. “Charlie Brown was killed by a bull moose last winter, ’ * aaid Donald cheer­ fully. Peggy laughed. “Why, I know a girL a little, dimpled, pink and white girl, who goes moose shooting. She’s a cousin of mine up in Montreal, and she goes to Mattawa every winter. And what is worse, air, on second, thoughts I think I Eball go with her this Christ­ mas and show you that moose shooting isn’t so dreadfully dangerous.” “Peggy!” said Donald, trying to catch her. “And what is more," said Peggy, slipping away and getting on the other Eide of tbe table, "what is more, I’m going to see if I can't get a bigger mooee than you.

The tracks skirted a frozen lake, and then went up a high rocky plateau. Donald knew these high ridges were the haunts of moose in Winter. Late in the afternoon nothing had been seen. Tbe Indians picked a camp and set to work getting their backwodds Christmas dinner. Donald, however, could not resist the fascination of fresh moose tracks. vHe took bis Winchester and swung up over the bills for a recon­ noiter. After about half an hour's journey through second growth white birch be came to a sudden stop and dropped noiselessly behind a fallen pine. A few winters in Maine bad given him all the true hunter's alertness of nerve. Where the underbrush fringed awsy into a country of broken rock .he had caught sight of a calf moose. In the gathering dusk he could see it indis­ tinctly moving slowly and cautiously out of the shadow of the scrub bush.' He had plenty of time, so he rested his Winchester on the pine log, taking studious, deliberate and accurate aim. At that moment the moving shadow turned sideways. Donald’s rifle fell from his hand, and ho took a deep breath. His rifle had been trained on a girl in a blanket suit, and he could see her shouldered rifle pointing down the The consciousness of this had scarce­ ly swept through his mind when he saw a puff of smoke. Then came a re­ port, and another, and another. A abort distance up the valley he saw a cow moose fall. Then he saw something tbat sent the blood tingling through bis veins. Out of tbe underbrush be beheld a huge bull oome thundering up the elope straight for the bewildered girl in tbe blanket suit. As he came tearing up the snow in bis flight the girl in the blanket suit deliberately dropped one knee, took aim and fired at tbe broad breast bearing down on her, not more than 60 feet away. Donald groaned. He saw that the plucky shot went wide—miles wide. His own finger was shaking on the trig­ ger of his Winchester, for when her life depended upon a shot the responsi­ bility naturally unnerved him. All he remembered was that he stop­ ped firing when his magazine was emp­ ty, although the first ball had torn through the animal’s huge lungs. A moment later be had a confused picture of a moose plunging bead down into a snowbank atone dead and a girl sitting in the snow, quietly crying. It was the When she saw who it was, she stopcf locelioew stole over him aa he walked home through tbe falling snow, bis face set with a great purpose. He would go after bar. Something might happen to her. Supposing she got lost MAG-OIK J. T1UORB8. l/N/vefiS/Tr THE BEST" Dress Goods! most certainly go after her. He bad already lost one day.

Three Indian guides never knew why they were given three whole bottles of Kentucky Bourbon on a certain Christ­ mas night, and it isn’t every one who aknows -------- Reed jaat Qofo Hann Ruppert ii the name of the Santa Claus of Saxony given by the simple, pions peasantry. “Hans Rup­ pert will arrive tonight!” the children of Saxony ary all along the dear, dark­ ening twilight of Christinas eve, aa they flatten their little Saxon noses againet the cottage window panes, peering out along the winter roads for "onr Hans Ruppert.” “Hans Ruppert is coming IjOnight!” say ths eimple hearted grown up folk to one another, a people who have one evening in the winter twilight of their hard, stern lives when it will be all glow and glamour and froth of fun. Hans Ruppert comes from Russia, from Its silent mysteries of steppe and of snows. But he is not a Slav. Hans Ruppert is not the tra­ ditional Santa Claus of, the Teuton land—a jolly old man with curly beard and winking Emile. "Haus Ruppert is a tall, brawny, peasant looking fel­ low,” ray the good Saxony folk with a sublime earnestness as if they had seen him. Hans Ruppert hAs muscles minted from their own brave life of gray toiL Hans Ruppert walks all the way from afar, from the Asiatic Russland and, at every step be takes toward the Caucasus chain, at every stride up and up, still up the ledges of its rock and bluff and brae, across its brawling streams, now down on tbe other side of its stem shoulder shadowed in the star calm, at every pace past the Russian villages twinkling through the night mists like sparklets struck off from the czar crown way off there above tho Neva, as he foots it grandly—this great, grand, gal­ lant Haos Ruppert—his top boots that at the beginning of the long Christmas march reached only below the kneo, grow taller and taller, still higher—un­ til when he hears the Rhein-strom mur­ mur and tho golden voice above the Lorelei rock, and at last at the gates ot Berlin sees the mighty gleam of the army of the vaterland, the Hans Rup­ pert ish boots are up to the loins, cuiras­ sier fashion, accordion wrinkled and mirror in their mighty polish tbe very “Sword of My Illustrious Grandfa­ ther!” And Hans Ruppert stands a grenadier, one of the sacred bodyguard around an emperor, stands with star on breast and double headed eagle on hel­ met, stands a mighty ghost to deal death to the foes of vaterland—until next Christmas. On his back, through all his long trudge tonight, Hans Ruppert carries bis pack. It is a pack of good things. Thou hast no Christmas tree within that mighty bundle, Hans! The peasant children have made tbe tree all ready for Hans in tfje diligent purchase from their little Saxon pfennige on tbe mar­ ket day. Hans Ruppert brings the gar­ ments for the Christmas tree. Here in hie pack is the Christ child's hair, tbe gold and silver filigree which Hans will twist across tbe branches with his own brawny hands. Here are the can­ dles, the Christ child’s eyes, and the toys and the gifts, “the blessings that drop from the hands of Baby Jesus.” And now the procession forms at 8 o’clock on Christmas eve to go to see wbut Hans Ruppert has brought to the little family. Tbe procession begins with grandfather and grandmother, on whose seamed and yellowed cheeks glistens the gentle tear of age. Then follow the father and the mother and the unwedded uncles and aunts, and now the children, according to age and size, who are awed in anticipation of “our Hans Buppert" on the other side of that door toward which the proces­ sion is now moving. They stand up on tiptoe and peer behind father’s stalwart frame, rebuked by dasmutterchen, with a solid Saxon cuff on the unwilling ear. “Ach, muttexohen, it’a heilige Nacht I" pleads the father, and mother moder­ ates. Here are the servants of tbe house­ hold, wearing their good Christmas starch of cheek apron stiffness. How it stands out in its buckram beauty I If it were possible—which the dear Herr Gardener of us all forfend—the apple cheeks of the good house girl glow with a more fruity glieten as sho gazes down upon the spheric circumference of starch. The housemaid's smile is laun­ dered, too, and it never leaves her lips until that mysterious door off there is opened by gzandfather’s trembling old hand, and now some one in the Christ­ mas procession has struck the sweet, resonant, prolonging chords of the zith­ er, and tbe hymn rises as one “pure concert” along tbe whole of the house­ hold’s heart : •. > O beilipi Nachtl atillo Nachtl The door is thrown open, and only tbe stalwart spirits— the Erdgeiste who guard the scallops and volutes of the Teutonic verb—can comprehend the meander and the meaning of the fam­ ily’s exclamations now. Hans Ruppert has done it all I Hans Ruppert has done it all I The tree glistens into gracious charm. It is the aurora of the Divine Child. And then the good Saxon muscles fall to, and fall. too. on supper. Now. tbe npper b a sweet feature of this great evening 1887. For only once a year does the marzipan oome round—marzi­ pan. that dear cako, crusted with pow­ dered almonds. Only once a year does "■token” come round, that dearest cake with raisins—raisins plucked by Hans Ruppert in tbat faroff mystery—raisins that grew and hadn’t anything to do with sour grapes. But the supper passes, and the night is deepening. Tbe eyes of childhood are drooping. The family rises and again drcJes the Christmas tree, hand in hand now, psrtegsfor the last time on earth.

You are thinking of a coronet. This is just a circlet of diamonds. They needn’t be very large stones, but they must be good ones, well matched and beautifully graded. I will help you se­ lect them. Come, Charlie, you hava had a good year. I heard you say so. And Helen will be so delighted!” Belk clasped her brother’s arm impulsively. The two walked slowly across tbe lawn toward tbe house. Charlie Kent had been married to his young wife for flve years. She had been famous ns one of the most lieautiful girls in all the OraDgts. It was in this lovely region that they now lived. They bad youth, wealth and everything to make life hap­ py save one thing—no child had come to gladden their home. This, waa a source of sorrow to the young wife—a sorrow of which even her husband did not know. Belle, however, suspected it. "I had been thinking of a pair of ponies and a phaeton," said Charlie re­ flectively. "Whichwould be tbe better, do you think, those or the diamond*?" "The diamonds of course. You spoke of a queen just dow, Charlie. Isn’t Hel­ en far more beautiful and queenly, too, than most royal women? Oh, to think how she will look when she tdts in your aunt’s box at the opera this winter with her tiara on her head!” "You really think she would like it, then,” said Mr. Kent, beginning to share his sister’s enthusiasm. "hike it, Charlie! I’m sure there’s nothing ahe longs for so much—except perhaps’ ’— "Except what?” asked Charlie Kent as his sister paused. "Nothing,” Raid Belle, looking down and smiling a little demurely; "at least nothing tbat can be bought with money. Come, Charlie, there isn't too much time.

Is it something not:very large, but. oh, so beautiful and bright, and all hidden in a soft, rich cover—ecmething which would make every woman yon know just wild with envy?” "Well, perhaps it is a little like tbat,"said Helen musingly, "but with­ out the envy. I don’t desire that.” "Well, Helen, this lovely thing is on the way now—it is almost here, and now yon mustn’t ask me one other ques tion, ” added Belle, with pretty effront ery. "If you do, I'm afraid I’ll tell what it ia Listen!” At this moment a dark figure was creeping through the gate which opened upon tbe driveway. It was not Charlie Kent, but a young woman, whoso head and figure were wrapped in a heavy shawl. In her arms she carried a bun­ dle. From time to time she bent over it and murmured to it softly. । "This is the house where I have seen the two pretty young women,” she whispered. "They may take my little one anil bo good to him. I can only hope so. * • * If they send you to the found ling asylum, my baby, it is only what your poor mother would have to do."

"Haven’t got the steam on, have they?” said Draxy, proud of knowing all about this domestic habits of the great organ. UNDER THE ?\I5TLETOE. < Van Arman > v w wA ’ filled with cathodral .hade.

Davy uncovered his head reverently as be passed under the grave face of the great master, and Draxy, wbow, little t«ot heels came cUcklngorur the stage, cast one furtive glance up toward tho statue and then skipped behind the pedestal In a great hurry, trotting up a step or two to­ ward tite organ mouth "and cuddling Into a familiar nook out of Davy’s way. “Oh, Davy!” she crooned, with a littio shiver, “he’s as bod as the baroness!” “Who is?” said Davy absently, unrolling his music on a projection of tho pcdvtal. “Ugh! That old black Beethoven, all wrapped up in his cloak and scowling and listening and thinking away!” Davy looked over at her and smiled. Then he gazed up with love and wistfolnees into the bending face above him. It made a touching picture, the dark master on the pedestal, Immortal, pulseIras in bronze, tbo beautiful lad at his feet, ambitious, desperate, In living flesh and youth.

Walking along behind him, you would have noticed how faded and thin his coat •was, and perhaps you would have smiled At the great patch on tho elbow of tho sleeve his music was tucked under. But had you come tho other way and met my Davy’s face, believe me, you would never think of patches or of faded clothes, for there was something in that beautiful dark eye and^brave, clear brow, a prince might envy him. I fear he would not thank me, though, for choosing such a time to introduce him when his head was drooping am! the brown eyes were heavy with a mist that almost gathered into drops. “Davy,” chirped Draxy at his elbow, “oh, do you sec what fun the boys are having playing football down on the pa­ rade ground?” Davy cast a heavy glance toward the lively youths, but oould not muster a wort! or smile to please her. "Don’t look so awful. Davy,” pleaded the little girl. "Besides, here comes that Ernest Maxwell, and he sees you.” Up weqt Davy’s head at that, and bls eyes measured the approaching figure steadily Ernest Maxwell carried some music un­ der his arm too. It was by the same divine composer as Davy's. No sweeter because it had such an expensive binding, I am sure. Neither was Ernest Maxwell, himsalf, any grander because of his own ex­ pensive binding.

There's that snob. Maxwell—his father is just coaxing him, bribing him, to go to Germany and study. Schwarz fold me so, in theolass, yesterday." “Oh,,my poor Davy!

Tho noodle doesn’t want to go, and won't go. I’d walk through fire for that chance! That's why I don’t get it!" Draxy looked very sorry, but she oould think of fiothing comforting to say just then, so she only-crept a little nearer to his side and cast her eyes around In quest of cheer. There, behind the iron fence, was the old cemetery with Its mounds and tombs, lying so still and cold in the winter sun­ light Hero and yonder, on the soldiers' graves, still waved some drabbled rem­ nant of the little flags placed there, long months before, amid the flowers and the tender grass of spring. Draxy’s eyes grew large and solemn as she looked, and It occurred to her, in some dismal association of ideas, to say darkly: “Oh, Davy! Did you know—they •ay—some of tho 'tombs go under this mall, and there are people buried down below these flagstones we are walking on!” ■* Dear little Draxy! All her efforts to be cheerful had fullod to gain tho least re­ sponse from Davy. But something about this gloomy question and her saucer eyes and hollow tone brought a quick smile and flash of fun into his face. “Yes, I have heard it,” he said, looking down at the little face beside him with a loving and amused expression. But presently he added in a bitter tone: "What then? It is no worao to bo lying underneath the stones than to walk on above them, all your hopes gone, ambi­ tion crushed out of you." His voice quivered and broke. Draxy •tele her little hand in his, and they kept on again In doleful silence. “Drax," said ho presently in a tone of mianhief that she knew full well “What?" she responded eagerly. "Here la the baroness," said Davy. “Oh, my gracious! Oh, Davy, please turn off and walk the rest of the way m Tremont etroet. Lean’t go by that awful old woman. No, I can’t."

"I am more likely to break down altogether,” he raid, turning away quickly with Draxy nnd dashing his sleeve across his eyes as soon as they were out of sight on the landing. “Who’s that?” demanded the gruff voice of a sharp old gentleman who had been talking to the pleasant man Id the box office. "That, sir? That boy is a genius.’ “Humph —genius! Well, what’s the other name you called?” “Oh," with a laugh, "we call him that because be looks so much like the pictures of Weber.

Faith, then, per­ haps that Is it I scroob the flares and stairs beyant outside, and I pick the stoof they throw down in here. ” Draxy looked at her thoughtfully. “That is too hard,” she said at length in a decisive little tone. "What alls your poor back?” “God bless ye, darrlln, and kape ye long from the same. ’Tis rhumatiz, dear, and me ould bones aro crackin wld it. Ivory toime I rise meeelf from pickin up these little carrds”— “Poor woman!

And it's miles and miles up and down these And away went Draxy, picking np scraps for dear life and saying to herself that she would never tear up and scatter checks or programmes again as long as she lived. So the poor charwoman and the little maid went up and down, hard at work, while the soft Christmas twilight fell without, and the great fugue rolled and thundered from the organ. Oh, what a thing it was to hear the mighty rumble of that giant bans I You could fool it shake the floor beneath your feet. It made the balconies vibrate and tremble, and sometimes the great hall seemed almost to rock nnd roll with sound. Then, when it ended, there was such silence that the slow ticking of the great clock seemed like the heart beats of the place, which you could hoar because it was so still. Dhvy had finished practicing, and his little sister, half way down the hall, was wondering why he did not come out and call her. She began to look often toward the stage and then at the great clock face on the balcony. Hark! Could that have been a strain of music, or was it the sad, sad voice of some one grieving? ‘Draxy and the old woman turned at the first- sound and looked toward the organ. They had scarcely listened while the great fugue was rolling through the ball. But something drew*them nearer to this magical strain, and they crept toward it step by step. What is Davy playing? Oh, what is this that is making tears fall fast on the two faces it has drawn so near? It was music that was never written— music that was never heard before and will not be hoard again, for Davy is in­ spired. He Is playing from his own soul. This is his farewell to music and to all his hopes and dreams. The organ grieves for him. The master on his pedestal listens sadly nnd seems almost to stir with pity. At last there comes a piteous strain, then a wild crash across the keys, and Davy has flung his bead down on his arms. The music is ended. “Goodby, goodby!" he whispered, kiss­ ing the yellow keys where his face lay hid­ den. , “Ob, Davy!” sobbed a little voice, and Draxy's amis were around his neck, her soft, wet cheek pressed dose to his. Just then a gruff old voice said: •Come, come! This won’t do! Stop this sniveling!” An arm that seemed too fatherly and gentle to belong to such a voice took in Davy and Draxy at ouoe as they sat on the organ seat, and seemed to hug them and shake them at the same time. "Come! What’s the.matter here, Isay?” Where he had dropped from waa the mystery. Had ho been hiding in some recess of the organ? Impossible to say. But there he was, looking very grim, except about the eyes, which were kind, and—was it possible?— had a suspicious wetness about them, in spite of his orders against sniveling. Davy turned around, pale and dared— scarcely aroused yet from his dream. “Sir!” he said, half proudly, half sadly. "What are you crying about?” demand­ ed the old gentleman. “Crying!” repeated Davy, with flash­ ing eyes. “I’m not crying!" He drew himself erect, and the color rose in his cheeks. “Ahl Spirit, too—eh? ’’said tbs old gen­ tleman exultantly. Then he wheeled suddenly on Draxy. “What are you crying about, then?" bo demanded in a terrible tone. “Be-becauss I want to I" said she, stiff­ ening her little neck. ‘‘Oh! Because you want to, eh? Coms bsro!" . . Draxy came, rather defiantly, I am afraid. But then be did seem such an in­ terfering old gentleman. “Now look at me!” be ordered. Draxy looked right into his eyas. 8amoi 'i tbdcih be wm plnchtn, her Mr. ' 3oyoo’r» lie kind cl 1IU1, <lrl who bolpo poor old UdlM wttb buna banka lamily, are you?” Davy colored and looks* away. gentleman, turning to Draxy. her brother’s neck and gave him a rossfote little kirn. “WeU, then,” said the old gentienaw conclusively, “it happens that I am tha kind of an old man who loves to help goo* boys and girls. Sometimes I send the boya off to study music, and I look after the little sisters and the babies till the boys get back.” The looks of Davy and Draxy were a> sight to see! *My name Is Maxwell,” went on th* old gentleman quietly. ”1 have heard abqnt you down stairs, and I've been hera^ , abroad—in Europe. He doesn’t want to j go, however.” At this the brother and sister exebangeff > glance, but they wen dumb and tt—i bling. “And, * ’ said the old gentleman mysteri­ ously, "I’vo got some money that does want to go.” Here he laid a greet, ktoft hand on Davy’s shoulder. “I’m going to sand you with it, sir." Draxy screamed, end, running into Mr. Maxwell’s arms, hugged him with JoyDavy gasped, gripped tLo kind haadv. and then—it was no use—broke down. . ‘‘Hello! Perhaps you’re not crying now!” roared Mr. Maxwell, pleased as ba could be. “Sir—Mr. Maxwell—do you really mean, it? Ob, I will work so hard and pay yon bock every cent, and. oh, Mr. Maxwell, you don’t know, sir, you don’t.know.” Davy wrung that great hand once again, ’ bereft of wonty. “Well, let’s see.” Then said Mr. Max­ well, •.‘Come h^re, old lady.

And as the little group stood under tho. statue of the master ho seemed listening*, with solemn gladness to the music of thoso grateful voices.

Why couldn't our boys get up aome holiday playa similar to the immemo­ rial” Father Christmas” play, in which tbe lads of Herrin England have so much fun? The origin of this play is lost in antiquity, but it deals with knights and their adventures, certain of which challenge and fight the fol-" lowers of Father Christmas, and are in turn routed, till Father Christmas and the Black Knight coj>e in mortal com­ bat, the latter, of coarse, being worsted. The boys are dreased in fantastic style, with tall paper caps on and pa­ per fringe around their jackets, wear­ ing masks to conceal their identity. They are called the “mummers, ” and tgo from house to house of their friends, -invariably receiving a kind welcome and a little treat at tbe end of the per­ formance. They also take up a penny ioollection, and everybody has a penny for tbe mummers who afford 60 much Amusement In our early history there is abun­ dant soopc for tbe youthful playwrights, and tbe object of their performances in holiday week might be some charity in which boys are the beneficiaries, such as a treat of “goodies'* to a dozen news­ boys or bootblacks, to get supplies for a aiok boy or the like. The Indian in our early history is as good as the knight element for a stir­ ring play for mummers—Maaaasoit and his tribe, in war paint, feathers and bhinkau, on the one side, and on the other the prim Puritans, in broad tri mined hats and abort breechea.

"Yea, yon do look like mamma. She's talked of you bo much that I feel I quite know you." ahe added quaintly. "You’re Dot going to sell papers any more, "said her uncle, as they croaaed the street to his hotel. "And now for a merry Christmas. It won't be possible to do anything about olotbes today," with a "rueful look at Maggie’s gar­ ments. "but we'll do something nioe anyway. What hospital did you say your mother was at?" "BL Luke’s," answered Maggie, smiling as happily as though the griefs of the morning had never troubled her. "Are you going to see her too?" "Yes,” said Uncle Jack, smiling down at the eager face, "we’re going there right away, but we'll stop and bny some flowers first.** And they set forth, only to find dis­ appointment awaiting them at the hos­ pital. Mrs. Brownell had left the hos­ pital that morning in the care of strange gentleman who had brought carriage for her. "Was it Uncle Stewart?"asked Mag­ gie, and the kindly girl hesitated be­ fore replying, catching tbe busy nurae as she turned away. "Uncle Stewart!" she said at length. "Tbe old gentleman who came here with her and sometimes brings the lit­ tle girl? No, it was a much younger man." "Did mamma know him?” asked Maggie, with a shade of sadness darken­ ing her expressive face in a manner which did not escape her uncle’s notice, and again the good matured nurse staid her steps to reply. "Yes," she said, with a pleasant, if hasty, smile, “she was delighted to see him and went with him at once." Maggie turned away sadly, a tear falling on her shabby frock, and she did not refuse the oomfarting pressure’ of her uncle's band as they walked down the long ward together. "Let's go to Sweetie," suggested her uncle, with a view to distracting her. After making inquiries and finding that Mra Brownell bad left no address Mag­ gie, who felt that all tbe world was sad and her doll stuffed with sawdust with a vengeanoe, assented drearily. "Maybeshe'll be gone, too,” she said mournfully, her lip quivering with a pitiful sorrow, as they stepped into the carriage again, and she did not speak again until the horses drew up at Mrs. titewart's dodfc. Her nncle lifted her out. She sprang up the stairs and rang tbe beii, and then—then the world re­ sumed its normal coloring, and her doll was once more worth loving, for Sweetie had leaped to her arms, and there in the ball behind was mamma. "Jack!" ahe said softly after kissing Maggie frantically. "Well, this must be Easter day instead of Christmas. Two resurrections from tho dead!” and ahe drew bis attention to another man who had seized upon Maggie as she re­ leased her and was embracing her aa though he would never let her go again. “My darling! My own little girl!" he kept repeating, and it suddenly dawned upon Maggie that it must be her papa, alive again in some wonderful, mysterious, Christmas kind of way and come back to care for her and mam­ ma and Sweetie. "We won’t waste time upon long ex­ planations now," said this gentleman as he put Maggio down at last "I have been prostrated by an accident which caused me to lose my memory until a week ago and my name was mistakenly sent to Jennie here," indicating his wife by a tender glance, "as among those killed by tho collision which only injured my brain. When my memory returned to me, I made all speed to come back to her, and not being able to find tbe smallest trace of her I thought of dear old Aunt and Unale Stewart I knew they would be kind to my poor darlings. And then I went to the hos­ pital and brought her away. We never thought of Maggie going there bo early, and I was to wait for her there this afternoon. We hardly knew how to reach her sooner. ’’ "Well, I lost all trace of you all while I was out west" said Undo Jack, taking poaeession of Maggie again, "and I only found this little girl by the merest aooidenL" And he lifted Maggie lovingly to his knee, for they had reached the parlor by this time. And after that? Well, it was Christ­ mas day, and all tbe stores were clooed, but money will do a great deal, and it wasn’t long before Auntie Stewart's aoantily filled larder was plentifully supplied, and an immense turkey was roasting in tbe oven. ' And when the dinner had been eaten and everybody had told everybody else how glad and happy and surprised they were they sat close together and made plana for tbe future, lovely, wonderful plana which seemed almost too good to come true. Bnt they did oome true, many of them, and, the best of all. per-" haps, was Uncle Jack’s plan for Maggie. "This little girl is going to be a beau­ tiful linger by and by," he said, with a tender good night kiss as he carried her np to the little attio room Auntie Stewart had insisted upon their using for tho night, while papa followed with Sweetie, "to say nothing of being a noble woman if she grows up as brave and unselfish as she is now.

"Faith, ’tis that,” said Mike, "but 'tie like som^ other things—all the bet­ ter for its age.” "Yes, yes, grandad,”, chorused the Mulligans, young and old, crowding around the fireplace. "Do tell us about the blackthorn.” "Faith, I couldn’t say nay to all yez gossoons on a{ New Year's eve,” replied the old man as he caressed the nhillalah which had been in his poasoarion nearly 60 years.

It must be root growing, boys, for if not, I could not think ’twas worth cutting. A mere branch, no mat­ ter how straight and fair- it might look, would be apt to warp and twist in the tug o’ war- Whin I had it cut and the branches lopped off, I put it up the chimney to season. Whin ’twas well dried, I took it down and wrapped it in brown paper, well soaked in hog’s lard.Thin I buried it in warm earth, taking > it out every day to bind it across me knee till all the twists asid turns were out of it After I had it straight, I rub­ bed it well with a woolen cloth covered with blaoklead and grease, to give it-a 1 polish. ’Twas all ready now for a shin­ dy, only for it being a little too light at wan ind.

The cap­ tain, nevertheless, was keeping his weather eye open for a black tug with a red funnel, known as the Rosalie L., and supposed to bo making up the gulf for Ste. Anne des Montes with 60 barrels of French brandy on board. I never felt such raw, benumbing, paralyzing cold. For three days uur search for smugglers had been fruitless. In fact, no kind of craft cared to pass either up or down the gulf in such weather. It was on the afternoon of New Year’s day that a fishing smack ran up alongside and reported that a black tug with a red funnel had been seen com­ ing up the gulf. So we slipped away from Anticosti and went churning west­ ward for the south mainland. Revenue gutters are not made for loafing, and the Dominion was making her 15 knots an hour until a fog blew up the gulf and caused us to shut down to quarter male. 'Good avening to yez, and I wish yez joy, yez and yer McCarthy, ’ and with that I was off hot foot up the street in search of McCarthy.

Now, if I’d asked him polite and daoint 8UCC8M TO THE MULLIGANS!" there would have been no fight, for McCarthy had no eye fat the widdy.

The one man in the boat dropped his oars ans! lightly waved his hand to us as we lunged past and lost him in the fog. He certainly was not trying to escape.

Our pilot^was deliberately running us upon the rocks! The captain sprang forward and sig­ naled "Reverse engines.” Half a mile up the river lay a black tug with a red funnel, and a six oared boat was plying between her and the shore. The captain and the Frenchman look­ ed at each other, but neither spoke for a moment. Then the little Frenchman laughed uneasily and spun round the wheel. "Oh-h-hl” he cried, with mock distress. "I was mistaken, m‘sieur, aft­ er all I” The captain's hand was on bis pistol. Yet he could not help smiling. We bad no sooner swung slowly round than the black tug picked up the open boat and scurried away. In two minutes we were after her. Snow began to fall, and the early midwinter twilight set in, but still the chase kept up. Finally we put n ball across the black tug’s bow. Her only retort was a rifle shot that splintered our pilothouse and made the Frenchman say something un­ der his breath. Our next shot was in earnest and caught her just above the water line. Wo could see the crew run­ ning hurriedly about, while the tug turned and ran bead on for land. A shot or two sang over our heads. Then a boat put out from her and made for the shore. When we came alongside the Rosalie L., it was almost dark. We found only a rea funnel showing, above the water. An empty cask floated past us with the tide. "Ah, the rascals, m’sieur!” cried the little Frenchman. "It is a brandy cask I” The captain laughed. Be had done his work and could afford to laugh. A boat was lowered, and half a dozen men raced merrily after the disappearing cask. Darkness had fallen by the time they got back, and the burden wm hauled up on deck.

The people there are just waking up to the fact that the state was doing well all through the period when the voice of calamity was heard from every stump in tbe state. Riches have been thrust upon Colorado in a broad stream, and were piling up even while the state was bucking fero­ ciously on the financial question. Wealth is the reward of Colorado for not getting what it talked for and voted for, Tbe Denver Times say® that “Colorade wakes Public auction to the highest bidder si the northerly er State street entrance to tho Crew, Honwn in tho. rltv nf U-.t t.... n.. _ . lotte, at a late hour nue night last week.

Hence tbe development of American and German competition has been due partly to British arrogance, displayed at a time when tbe two great continental powers of tbe present day have reached a stage of growth in manufactures which would have made them formidable rivals of Great Britain even If the British trade had used every possible effort to hold Its old monopoly. Tbe field In which American competi­ tion seems to be felt most keenly and deeply in England Is tbe iron trade. Great Britain Is obliged to go abroad for spring, fully equipped to stay there long enough to secure the “little bundle” which will insure bls living io comfort the rest of his days.—Charlotte Republican. and. within tbe same period, tbe gold production of the. state Increased 863,­ 621,379, Tbe exetts of increase of gold and tn tbe discussion Stockford got tbe beat of Bird and threw him to tbe ground.

Next Wednesday the legislature of 1899 j will convene and it will be one of the moat important and interesting sessions ever held ta tbe history of tbe state of Mlcbi- gxn.

For years Hazen S. Pingree has been posing as a "reformer/ but during , that time either as Mayor of Detroit or as Gov­ ernor ot Michigan be has accomplished nothing—except to Increase the bonded debt of Detroit to Its limit, and Increase tbe burden of taxation in tbe state. His success at humbugging -the people” has given him a bad case of big bead, and em­ boldened blm to such an extent that be has assumed to himself tbe powers of a Dic­ tator. He has belittled himself and lost the confidence and respect of hosts of loyal republicans, by meddling In affairs entirely foreign to his office. Not satis­ fied with insulting President McKinley, and tbe honored leaders of tbe party he mlsrepresenta. he is attempting to meddle in foreign affairs and give the administra­ tion advice about settling foreign compli­ cations. At the present time his every energy Is being bent upon tbe defeat of Senator Burrows for re-election to the United Stales Senate and some of bls methods are most disgraceful. Tbe latest bullying ways adopted are reported from the Upper Peninsula where one of bls emissaries west for the purpose of bulldozing tbe miners to withdraw their support from Senator Burrows. The threat was used that unless the miners withdraw their as-, sistance from’Burrows, measures will be taken to greatly increase their taxes. On the other hand If they give their support to Pack to succeed Burrows, the unjustly low rate of taxation will not be disturbed. This Is only one sample of boasted Pin­ gree reform-rg promise to barter justice and right for legislative support And who Is this Mr. Pack whom Gov.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
