The following which we clip from the Flint. Globe expresses the sentament of the people in this corner of the 13th district and it would be a failure if other than Hon. G. W.

W.

There was no new man on the floor of the last senate who was accordmore respect or had more influence than Mr. Teeple. He was courtly in his manners and so courteous in his ntercourse with other Senators as to have created no antagonism and made no enemies. He had the manliness to follow his convictions as to what was manifestly bis duty to his constituants but bis reasons were stated in a way to give no offense and often to carry conviction. His whole course reflected credit upon his district, and it would be a seemly and courteous thing for Genessee county to concede him the distinction of an unanimous renoraination."

WE ARE HEAD QUARTERS FOR Either Printed or not, PINCKNEY, MICH. AN EXTRA SESSION. GOV. P1NGREE CALLS IT FOR MARCH 22. MeiM|< Brief aud to the Folut— 8ay« T»x Burdeu Is Unequally Divided *ad U Becouilug Unbe*r»ble—Waati Corporations to Pay Their Full Share. The long-expected call fur an extra ion of the state legislature has at last been issued by Gov. Pingree. The for the meeting of the extra sesis Tuesday, March 22. The governor's proclamation is as follows: Tto all whom it majr concern, greeting: By Sec. 6, of Art. 5 of the constitution of the state of Michigan, it is provided that the governor shall take care that the law be faithfully executed. By Sec. 7 of the same article he is given the power to convene the legislature on extraordinary occasions. Hy Sec. 11 of Art. 14 it is made the duty of the legislature to provide an uniform rule of taxation. By Sec. 13 of the same article "all assessments hereafter authorized shall be on property at its cash value.1' These provisions have been a part of the fundamental law of the state since 1850. In violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of these provisions of the constitution, laws have been passed from time to time, by which railroad companies, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies now owning, according to their own sworn returns, at least one-third of the property of this state, are required to pay only about one-twenty-sixth of the taxes levied for state, county and municipal purposes, leaving their just proportion of supporting our schools, asylums and —other public-ia&titutimiH and defraymgthe public expenses to fall upon the fanners, laborers, manufacturers and other property-owners of the state. Taxation has, in' many parts of the state, become in the nature of confiscation, the amount levied being greater than the property taxed can be made to produce. The situation has become almost unbearable, and demands an immediate remedy, which can only be given by the legislature. It is the duty of the governor, under hit oath of office, to sec that the constitution of the state is obeyed and the laws faithfully executed, and to submit to the legislature. from time to time, his views upon existing mischiefs, so that a remedy can be provided? In obedience to this duty. I hereby call the legislature of the state to meet in extraordinary session on Tuesday, 22d day of March, 1898. at noon of that day, to consider the question of taxing railroad companies, express companies, telegraph" and telephone companies and such other matters as shall be submitted by a special message. (Signed) H. S, PINGKKK. Governor. The proclamation was issued after a lengthy conference between (lov. PingTee and his lieutenants, .and within two hours after it had been signed certified copies of it had been made and were at once mailed byj, registered letter to every member of the legislature. The fact that the governor ignored the two-cent railroad fare question in his call is a surprise to many, as it was quite generally supposed that this would be a strong card in favor of a special sesson. State Insurance Commissioner Milo D. Campbell says that a bill has already been prepared which'provides for the creation of a state board of assessors who will appraise the value of the taxable property of all railroad, telegraph, telephone~and express corporations in the state, and levy a tax exactly in proportion to the average taxes levied on other property. If railroad taxes are now too high they will be lowered by this bill. If they are too low, they will be raised. In other words, the bill does not fix the rate the railroads shall pay. It says nothing about the rate, but simply provides for a fair valuation and an assessment on an exact par with what other property holders pay. The average ratio of taxes to valuation on other property throughout the state is easily obtainable from the records of the state and of the counties. Goy. Pingree's lieutenants have counted their men and conddence in the passage of such a bill is being expressed. There is said to be no doubt of the passage of the bill in the House. In the Senate 15 votes are counted as solid for the measure, while five are classed as doubtful. Among those who are believed to be doubtful are Senators Lawrence and Merriman. Senators Jibb, Thompson, Westcott, Latir, Mason, and Covell head the list of iti-Pingree members. l'«i|»ullHtit Could Nut A conference between the state committees of the middle-of-the-road and fusion wings of the Populist party was held at Lansing, but It did not result in the anticipated reconciliation, but rather tended to widen the breach, much harsh language being indulged in by the two factions. The middle-of-the-roaders made a proposition to organize a pew committee from both factions and issue a call for a state convention to nominate a straight Populist state ticket independent of all other silver parties. This was rejected by the fusionists, who proposed the appointment of a joint committee to meet with representatives of the Democratic and silver Republican parties in Detroit on April 5, for the purpose of arranging a fusion on a state ticket similar to the one effected two years ago. This proposition was also rejected after a long and bitter wrangle, and then all attempts to come to an agreement were given up. The middle-of-the-road faction, which the courts have recognized as the regular Populist committee, promptly issued a call for a state convention to be held at (Irand Uapids, June 21, and the program of the leaders is to head off the Republicans by nominating Pingree for governor. k The other faction will participate in the Detroit conference and arrange a fusion. A Turning Over at the Soldier*' Home. The annual meeting of the Soldiers' Home board resulted in a general turning over of the oflicial staff of the home and the election of a new crew. Gov. Pingree attended the meeting and urged some of the changes, with the result that Commandant James A. Crozer is retired, Col. Bishop is no longer treasurer, and the insurance policies, the occasion for the last home scandal, are ordered canceled. Tire rulercqTtrriTrg-^vvtrrtms ta^pay for their clothing out of their pension money was rescinded. Capt. George K. .ludd. of Grand Rapids, was elected commandant; John Xorthwood was elected president pro tern.. E. V. Grabill clerk, and W. S. Turck treasurer. The minor officers were not chosen, but a general shaking up i.s expected. Gov. Pingree remarked that he had nothing personal against Col. Crozer nor against his administration, but thought two years' service was enough under the ciroustanecs. Mat»- Will Protect A number .of homesteaders in Montmorency county recently received letti'rs from Alpe.na lawyers inviting them to call and settle. They were informed that the supreme court had declared the tax title illegal and the original owners, whom the lawyers represented, demanded a settlement. Land Commissioner French denies that the court has ever passed upon this question and tells the homesteaders to to their farms. MICHIGAN NEW3 ITEMS.

Members of the legislature are already dropping into Lansing from different sections of the state. The anti-Pingree men talk of investigating the executive and other departments as to the charges of extravagance. The impression is funeral that the extra session will last the full twenty days for which the legislators are permitted by the constitution to draw pay. Each member will, of course, be entitled to mileage in addition to per diem. The senate chamber, representative hall and the committee rooms are being brushed up and put in order, and the various departments- are preparing to meet whatever demands the legislators may make upon them. The state board of auditors has ordered some twelve dozen waste baskets, erasers, inkstands and other supplies for the members, and these will all disappear at the close of the session, in j accordance with the time-honored custom.

It is now too late to elect successors at the spring election. The Pingree men might make a fight to unseat the anti- Pingree senators, Covell and Preston, who hold government jobs, but it is the general opinion that they will not be molested. No effort, on the other hand, will be made to unseat Senator Hughes, who has removed from the Barry • Eaton district. Sergeant-at- Arms Gibson having died and Sergt.

Hundreds of Million* More Can be Had If Protldent McKlnley Need* Them— CongreM DUplayi lutense Patriotism '—Spain Must right or Back Down. Washington: A conference of great importance was held at the White House which was attended by Secretary of the Navy Long; Acting Secretary of State Day; Justice Harlan, of the U. S. supreme court; Senator Allison, chairman of the Senate committee on appropriations and leader of the Senate finance committee; Chairman Cannon, of the House committee on appropriations; Chairman Dingley, of the House committee on ways and means; Mr. Hopkins of the same committee; Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate committee on naval affairs; Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, a very close and confidential friend and adviser of the President, and Senator Mason, of Illinois. The conference resulted in assuring the President that whatever expense might be incurred congress would ratify his action and he now knows officially that congress will stand by him in whatever war measures he may undertake. He may buy ships; he may build forts; he may buy or construct guns, and buy or make ammunition. He may enlist soldiers and sailors, and he has carte blanche for it all. Whatever the sum needed congress will appropriate it after the time has passed when such legislation will give information to the enemy. As a result of the conference, and within a few hours after its close Chairman Cannon, of the appropriatton^ committee introdiieed^thc foilow• ing bill in the House: "That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, for the national defense, and for each nnd every purpose connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President, and to remain available until Jan. 1, 1890, 850,000,- 000." The bill was referred to the committee on appropriations. When the House committee on appropriations unanimously recommended the passage of the bill appropriating 850,000,000 for defense, the Representatives received It with a spirit of intense patriotism. Party lines were swept away, and with a unanimous voice the House voted for the Jt>ili and thus announced its confidence in the administration. All day long the House galleries were jammed with enthusiastic spectators applauding to the echo the sterling patriotism of the words of eloquence which wore uttered by the members on the floor. In all fifty-nine speeches were made. With one acclaim members from the north and the south, the east and the west, tlie states and the territories, battle-scarred veterans of the Union and the Confederate armies, all joined in proclaiming their support of the country's chief magistrate in the face of possible declaration of war. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that if war did not come the 550,000,000 appropriated by this bill would be wisely expended if it only served to show the world that when threatened from without the hearts of the American people beat as one. In the whole debate there was only a slight discordant note caused by the speech of Gen. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, a gallant soldier who served with distinction under Hancock. He spoke too conservatively for the aroused temper of the House, and when he insisted that our relations with Spain were as friendly as they had been for years many of the members hissed him. While almost every member who spoke deprecated the possibility of war, a wide divergence of opinion as to how close were hostilities manifested itself in the debate. The general contention by the majority, among them the leaders on both sides, was that this appropriation by preparing for war would prove the | surest guarantee of peace. Others insisted that war's alarms would soon be heard and Mr. Maun, of Illinois, declared that war actually existed in all save name. The Senate was not to be oiitdone in .^patriotism by the House, and when the ©50,000,000 defense appropriation bill was received from the House it was promptly passed without a murmur of dissent. Twelve minutes after the bill was reported to the Senate the vice-president announced its passage. The great work was accomplished so quickly that few of the people who crowded the galleries realized that the measure, so far as congress was concerned, had become a law. After the measure had been engrossed it was promptly signed by ^ resident McKinley and then the vast sum of 850,000,- 000 was ready for disposal at any moment needed. The navy department has contracted for 400,000 tons of steam coal from Peale, Peacock & Kerr, of the new Pittsburg district, to be delivered at Key West within 30 days after April 1.

Forty survivors of the Maine disaster have been assigned to duty on the ships of the fleet at Key West. The commissioned and warrant officers-a^re on waiting orders. The Navy department has changed its plans and has sent the cruiser Montgomery to Havana and will use the dispatch boat Fern to carry relief supplies to the Cuban reconcentradoep at Me tan/as and Sagua la Grande. , The London Times praises MeKlnley for his firm stand and says that the effect of the Cannon national defense bill will act as a check on Spain. The News says no European powers will help Spain, and advises Great Britain not to meddle with Uncle Sam, a§ her previous "historic mistakes"have been costly. Col. M. M. Parker, who accompanied Senator Proctor in his tour through Cuba says: "Every American in Cuba now is watched as though he were a criminal. The Spaniards hate us and do not hesitate to say so. Everyone in Havana now knows that the Maine was blown up from the outside. Spaniards no longer deny it. Their do not seem to be very sad over it, either. Are we going to have war? Well, if we don't, I shall be surprised.*' The size of America-Spain war cloud is constantly increasing, and the war feeling among all classes is becoming more intense daily. The announcement that both the United States and Spain are buyt»g,,!OK trying to buy, warships, that Uncle Sum is spending millions upon his coast defenses," and the. daily growing feeling that the court of inquiry in the Maine disaster will report that the Aiaerican. war veswas blown up by an outside explosion, all add to the seriousness of the situation. It is understood that the President is ready to send to congress the reports of the U. S. consuls in Cuba, which show such » terrible state of affairs that it will almost force the United States to intervene to put a stop to the war in Cu~ a Senator Mason, of Illinois, was present at a recent conference of administration officials by special invitation. He had previously publicly announced that he would call up in the Senate his intervention resolution, introduced long before the loss of the Maine, unless he received authoritative assurances that he would thereby an- * ticipate the action of the administration. He had declared that if lie received no such assurances he would move to release the committee on foreign relations from further consideration of the measure which would throw the matter into the Senate, where it would get immediate consideration. Since the Senator Iras been called to the White House it is inferred that he will be requested to withhold his resolution on the ground that it is superfluous and in fact he said that he was satisfied that his resolution would be superfluous. Upon looking over the ground the President has concluded that it would be well perhaps not to allot the 850,000,000 defense appropriation until the necessities of situation become apparent. The reason back of this is that the sum that can be profitably spent for warships cannot even be guessed at with any appro % nation -to accuracy just now, and ships are first choice in the steps for defense. The secretary of the navy is making every effort to secure from our naval attaches and diplomatic officers abroad all information obtainable respecting the number of ships building, their price and other data. This does not necessarily interfere with the execution of the plans confided to Commander W. H. Brownson, who has sailed for Southampton for the purpose of looking up what suitable vessels can be purchased, but rather" promises to assrst him materially in making speed with his inquiries. Up to this moment nab only has the United States government bought no warships, but it has ftot even secured an option on on*. • England Grants V. 8. Alattkan Claims. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, has informed the Canadian ministry officially that he has arranged a convention with the United -States, whereby the Alaska boundary dispute has been settled. Under the terms of the convention the British government has conceded the claim of the United States that the three marine leagues should be measured ' from the shore of the mainland and should proceed along the shores of the inlets, which are thus recognized as arms of the ocean, and not as rivers. The contention of the British and Canadian governments was that the three league limit should begin on the ooeaiiwand KMte-of the island and that the delimitating line should be run across the inlets and not follow their shores. These inlets are numerous and extend into the main* land a great distance and the decision therefore is of much importance to the VnHed States^ * The ^anadfcn «a much disap* . - • • • " , " • ' • ' .' > • * • Disease can be driven in or driven out.

Well?" "Well, sir," said Dick, "I have thought the matter qver, and although I have not, and never have had, any wish to go to India, I have decided that It will be best for me to accept the appointment you were good enough to get for me." "Oh—er. I'm glad you've come to rour senses at last," said the old lord, a shade more graciously, "Well, you had better go and see Barry Boynton about it—that will be the best. And then you'll have to get your affairs put in order, make your will, and all that" "I have made my will," said Dick, promptly, "although it's true I hadn't very much to make it for." "Ah! that's good—those things ought always to be done before they are wanted. By-the-bye, Dick, are you hard up, or anything of that kind? Do you want any money?" The testimony of a good conscience^ "No, sir, thanks. I could do with a the ^lory of a good nmnT hundred or Two, of course—who couldn't? But I am not In debt, or anything of that sort." The old lord caressed his white mustache and looked at his heir with a sort of comical wonder. "Ton my soul," he remarked, "I can't tell how you do it." "Eh?" said Dick, not understanding, and, In fact, not interested in his uncle's thoughts. "Well, how you do it.

"You won't tell me." Lord Aylmer chuckled. "Oh! very well, very well— never mind. I can take a hint as well as anybody." "When it suits your purpoi*," Dick's thoughts ran, as he watched the handsome, wicked old face. Then he got up from his chair. "If you don't want me any longer, sir, I will go and pay my respects to my lady. By-the-bye, I hope you are less anxious about her than you were » short time ago." Lord Aylmer Jumped up in a fury and stamped his gouty foot hard upon the floor. "Damme," he cried, "that woman is like an India-rubber ball, and as hard as nails into the bargain." •Then she is better," said Dick, with an air of profound and anxious interest. "Better! Damme," the old savage cried, "she's outrageously well, sir, Damme, her healthiness is positively aggressive." "But that must be a great relief to your mind, sir," Baid Dick, with perfect gravity. "Relief!" the other echoed, then seemed to recollect himself a little. "Ah! yes, yes, of course—to be sure. Well, go and see her. I dare say you will find her in the boudoir." Dack felt himself dismissed with a wave of the old lord's hand, and being never very anxious to remain in his presence, he betook himself away, and went to find her ladyship. But Laay Aylmer was not in the house—had, in tact, been gone out some time before he reached it; so Dick jumped into a cab and went back to Palace Mansions to Dorothy, who met him with a new Idea. "Dick, darling," she said, "I know that you are worrying about me, and what I shall do when you are gone, and I have thought of something." "Tea. Have you thought that, after all. it would be safe for you to go right out and risk everything?" "No, because you do not go till September, and by then I shall have got very near to the time. No, it is not that at all; but you will have leave until you tail, won't your* "Yea.** "Thee might we not go to the tea tor a month! I am pining for a Kpfcaffr qf §0+ ffi?_ aiwt It tar y*«. toe." "That is easy enough. Where shall we go? Tenby—or would you rather be nearer to Graveleigh?" "We could not go to any of the places near Graveleigh, Dick—I should be meeting people there." "Yes; but we might go to Overatrand or Cromer, or go down to one of the little, quiet places near Ramsgate. Why, if you like, we might even go to Ramsgate or Margate itself." "I don't in the least care where," Dorothy replied. "But what I wanted to say is this—you remember my cousin, Esther Brand?" "I've heard you speak of her." "Well, when you are gone would you let me write to her and ask her to come and stay with me till I am ready to come after you? She is young and kind, and I am very fond of her, and altogether it would be very different for me than If I had nobody except Barbara." "My dearest, you shall do exactly as you think best about that," Dick said, without hesitation. "It is a good idea, and If she is nice and won't worry you > about being married in this way " "She won't know, dear," Dorothy cried. "I shall show her my marriagelines, and say that you are gone and that I am I am going to join you £-s soon as_I can." "She will be sure to ask my regiment." "Not at all. Besides, you are going out to an appointment, are you not?" "Yes, true. Well, then, do as you think best about it," he said. "Of course, I shall be a great deal easier in my mind, and then she will be able to see you off and all that. Oh! yes, it will be a very good thing in every way." Dorothy clapped her hands together and laughed quite joyously. "Oh! Dick dear," she cried, "I'm so glad you don't mind—I feel quite brave about being left now. I do wish, though, that you could see Esther. She is so tall and strong, very handsome, smooth, dark hair and great dark eyes—quite a girl who ought to be called Esther or Olive. And then she has always been rich, and for five years she has been absolutely her own mistress, and has traveled about evervjvhere. , you thi* "Won't she think it odd that have never **ritten to her all time?" "I don't t>Jnk so. Esther is not a girl who thanks you for letters unless you have something special to say." Dick put his arm around his little wife's waist. "And you have some- "DAMME!" HE CRIED. ' thing very, very special to tell her, haven't you?" he said tenderly, then cried with an uncontrollable burst of anguish, "Oh! my love, my love, you don't know—you will never know what it will cost me to go away and leave you just now, when you will want me most of all." "Never mind, Dick," she said bravely, "I am not afraid." - Looking at her, he saw that she spoke the truth and only the truth— her eyes met his, clear and true, anl the smile which played about her sweet mouth was not marred by any expression of the agony which she had suffered during the few previous days. A week ago she had been more Dick's sweetheart than his wife; now she was not only his wife, but had also in her eyes the proud light of motherhood— "Filled was her soul with love and the dawn of an opening heaven." CHAPTER XIX. HERE is no need for me to tell of the month which Dick and hit wife passed together at a . secluded little watering place on Norfolk coast, nor of the scramble which Dick feat at the latt to get pointed day of tailing for the east. It is enough to say that after aa\ agonzied parting he tor^ himself and Dorothy found herself left in the pretty flat, face to face with sorest trial of her 11'*. A week before she n*d written to cousin, Eether Brand, but the had no reply. That had not surprised much, for Esther was a restless never so happy as when moving from place to place. Apart from that. London is scarcely the place to look for rich and idle people in September, and Dorothy had addressed her letter to her cousin's bankers, knowing that tt would be the surest and probably the quickest way of finding her. Bat when Dick was gone Dorothy begaa to get very anxious for a letter from Esther, to watch for the post, and to wonder impatiently what* Esther could possibly have done with herself .and whether she had got her letter or not. But for several days there was still silence, and at last, just when Dorothy was beginning to despair, it came. "Here is your letter, Miss Dorothy.^ cried Barbara, hurrying Into the room with it. "Oh, Barbara!" Dorothy cried, excitedly. In a moment she had torn It open aod was reading it aloud to Barbara. "Oh, it is from Russia. Fancy Miaa Brand being in Russia, Barbara, and she aays: " 'My Very Dear Little Dorothy; So you are married! I can hardly believe it—Indeed, since having yc^r letter this morning I have been saving to myself over and over again, "Dorothy Strode is married—little Dorothy has got married," and still I do mn in the least realize It. So you are very happy, of course, and you are going to have a baby—that is almost aa "of course" also. And your husband has got a good appointment l n India which fie" doesnot dare refused That looks like bread-and-cheese and kisses,, my dear little cousin. However, not taat money makes any real difference toone's happiness, and sg long aft yo» love him and he loves you, nothing else matters, money least of all. But why,. my dear, have you waited so lonf before you told me of your new tiet? I have wondered so often where you were and what had become of you, a ad about four months ago I wrote to the old house and had your letters retimed by a horrid young man, Divtd. Stevenson, whom I disliked alwayi beyond measure. He informed me •.hat you had left immediately after dear auntie's death, and that he did not know your present address. I felt av little anxious about you, but eminently relieved to find that you were *»vtdently not going to marry that detestable young man, who is, I have no doubt, all that is good and estimableand affluent, hnt whnm, as I saM I have never liked. " 'Well, my dear child, you must let me be godmother to the baby when it comes that I may spend as much m^ey over its corals and bells tta 1 should have done over a wedding-gift to you. Aa for coming to you—my darling child, of course I shall come straig .t back, and help Barbara to make up to you for the temporary loss of your spouse. I gather from your letter that he is all that is good and kind and brave, to say nothing of being handsome and loving and true— you lucky little girl! " 'Expect me when -. you see Me, dear, which will be as soon as I cut possibly get myself to London. If I were on the other side of the f-ontier I could pretty nearly fix both day and time. As it is, I can only say that I will lose no time in being with you. and I will stick to you till I see yo» safe on board the P. and O. steamer. " 'My love to Barbara—how she and I will yarn together over the old plaee and the old days!—and much love to> you, dear little woman. "From your always affectionate " 'ESTHER.* - This letter in itself was enough to put Dorothy into the wildest and gayest of spirits, and Barbara was almost as much delighted; for, truth to tell. the old servant had looked forwardwith no little dismay to the prospect of supporting her loved young mistress through her hour of loneliness and trial, and was therefore greatly relieved to find that the responsibilities of the situation would fall upon the strong and capable shoulders of Mise Esther Brand Instead of lying upon her own weaker ones. "It is so good and tweet and dear of Esther," Dorothy repeated, over andover again. "Just like her to throw everything else aside on the chance of being able to do a good turn to some one in need. Now I don't feel half so nervous at I did." "Nor I." echoed Barbara, speaking out of her very heart; then the added with a significant smile.

DON'T BORROW THE DISPATCH, IT IS CHEAPER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR IT. Mrs. Cowden Clarke, tbe Shakespearean scholar, in her sunny reminiscences ot her long life, devotes two or three of her plea&anteet pages to Charles and Mary Lamb, says an exchange. She was, in her childhood, tor some time the pupil of the latter, who was called by her much-loved brother—so he humorously informed Mrs. Clarke—"Marie when we are alone together, Mary when we are with friends and Moll before the servants." In later life Mrs. Clarke and her husband visited for a week in the home of the famous brother and sister, a week of delightful society and quiet country pleasures. "Charle3 Lamb," she writes, "was as fond of long walks as we were and had an admiration for Enfleld and its environs equal to ours. He showed us one day the very Bpot where a dog that had been pertinacious in following him and which he sought to get rid of by tiring him out, had at last given up the contest of perseverance and had dropped down under a hedge, dead beat." A man who could tire out a lively dog must assuredly have been a good walker, but Mrs. Clarke does not state whether or no Lamb stammered in relatiag the anecdote. It is, perhaps, doubtful, if he did, for he once confided to her that, notwithstanding his usual hesitancy of speech, he never stammered when he was telling a yarn. The final glimpse which she gives of the charming essayist is Just such as his admirers will enjoy. "His hospitality was characteristically manifested one day in his own peculiarly whimsical way by his starting up from dinner, hastening to the front garden gate and opening it for a donkey that he Baw~stan<irng there"' &<rd looking, so Lamb said, as if it wanted to come in and munch some, of the grass growing so plentifully behmd. the ralli MS CALL OTERH The New Guinea baby has a novel method of being carried about. Its mother note the naked little creature into a net, which is suspended by a band over her head and her ears, In front of her. The Chinese child lies with Its face against its mother's back, and this accounts for the broad.flat nostrils seen In the Flowery Kingdom. It cries continually in shrill, sharp shrieks, but the mother placidly works on amid the uproar. The dimpled, brown little Jap baby takee its first journeys abroad strapped to the back of its mother or sister in a seemingly insecure position by strips of cloth meeting in the form of the letter X.

'H 'N 'HIVG '-oo aaxsoj *M eawvr i DO iivm.i,»ci m A qiw>iivm anpA SAVS til QUITE ENGLISH. Trying to Find s> Reason for the British Use of a Word. Nicely observing persons who have been reading "The Christian" must have noticed that when Mr. Caine finds occasion to say "nigger" he says nigger right out brutally, with no suggestion of apology in the way of quotation marks—as if "nigger" were simply andonly a term descriptive and as innocently inoffensive as parson or actress, says Leslie's Weekly. Some may suppose that this departure—by the standard of good American usage— is due to the able editing of Mr. Che- •vattei1, who, we havu/beca told, rovisci "The Christian's" slang, that no inaccurate vulgarisms7 might mar its per- j feet realism. Sych a theory would do Mr. Caine an .injustice. Strange as it may seem, nigger, as he uses it, without quotations marks, is not slang at all, but i^ simply the ordinary English way of/desribiug a person of color. Doubters are referred to so eminently proper a writer as Mrs. Ewing and her charming little story of "Jan of the Windmill," in which nigger appears frequently in the same matter-ofcourse way, after a fashion not a little shocking to the American sense of kindly propriety. This obtuse unconsciousness that there are persons of color in the book-reading world who may wince at finding themselves thus described as niggers, as if that were what everybody (themselves included) admitted them to be is really quite English—typically English. It lacks the excuse of traditions of race contempt which one might find for it in a southern writer, while rt contrasts curiously with that absence of color prejudice in England of which so much is made. And probably it is not a case of color prejudice, but only a case of not knowing when one is offensive, which is the English of it. The Queen's Punctuality. The q u e ^ as is generally known, is a most punctual woman even in Uer routine or daily life. Her duties are so carefully planned out for the day that not a single moment is lost. On one occasion the queen's drive was abandoned, owing to the state of the weather, but on its clearing up half an hour later a message was sent to Princess Beatrice, who was to accompany her majesty—"The queen drives in ten mmuies." The princess had Just changed her outdoor dress when the order was countermanded, but was ready. Another instance of her majesty's exactness was given on the ifreat and exciting jubilee day. when she wa6 informed that the carriage had arrived twenty minutes before the time appointed. She declined to enter it until the hour arranged. Imagine the consternation and anxiety of miles of spectators lining the route to see a messenger galloping at full speed the whole distance already traversed by the troops, but still no queen. This was the one solitary hitch of the day's proceeding, and was very trifling after about in a sling on the mother's right hip, the strong cloth passing over the left shoulder. The Gualtimalticans bear their children on their backs, and as if this were not load enough, any burden they have rests upon the head, Some of the Australian women wear a curious mantle of kangaroo skin on their backs, which is tied securely at the waist line, half of the length above and half below. In the little bag formed by the fullness of the upper part the baby cuddles and finds a comfortable nest. In other parts of the country the child rides astride the mother's neck. The negroes of Cuba hold their pickaninnies on one hip, the child clinging by its knees as a rider holds onto a horse. Alaskan babies are rubbed with oil, tightly rolled in a skin or blanket padded with grass and bound with deerskin thongs, which are undone but once a day, when the grass is freshened. If the baby cries he 1B held under water tilHie is stilL— _ _ _ The Italian bambino is swathed like a mummy and bound with colored ribbone. The babies' elder brothers and sisters delight in carrying about these human dolls, /which cannot kick. The German babjr, too, is swaddled, bound in a long down pillow tied with generous bows of bright ribbons. He is carried about in the nurse's arms wherever he mdves. French babies are borne through the streets stretched on fine embroidered pillows, their lace frocks spread out to make all the display possible. The chocolate mammas of Queensland carry their little ones astride their necks. The Dyaks of Borneo carry the baby wrapped in the bark of a tre« or in a curiously carved chair studded with ground shells, which is fastened to the mother's back. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can care him self right away by taking electric bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures Constipation, Headache, Fainting Spells, Sleeplessness, and Melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative and restores the system to its natural vigor. Try electric bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at F. A. Sigler's Drug Store. Sondaj Disturbance!. Everyone was sorry for tbo*e people in church last Sunday, who were suffering with a distressing cough.

Congressman Moody gave Dlngley a lively tussle recently. It waa Diugley's moody day. Printing sensational dispatches from Key West in crimson Ink has at least one advantage. The telegrams are sure to be red. Chicago does not call her police the finest, but they are apparently more accomplished as highway robbers than those of any other town. There are many who marry from sheer indigence of thought, captivated by the playfulness of youth, as if a kitten were never to be a cat. The bicycle button, "I want good BtreetB!" is all right, but unless some of them have reformed since last season they might better put on a button reading, "I want the whole road!" Some persons affect to see in the fate of Chin^the beginning of the end of thLs governWtft. We shall know more about it, however, after the inevitable war between the great thieves in the vain effort to equitably divide the swag. By the time that is ended there may not be enough strength or good feeling on the part of the thieves to form the combination. From now on the weather will cut a figure in the market price of wheat. In the winter wheat districts there are yet no signs of spring and the ground .la-full QJLmolsture. There is bujtjittle snow over the wheat and a sudden freeze would do great damage to the coming crop. There la an Increased demand for seed wheat in the northwest. Market statistics show receipts of wheat decreasing and exports rap- Idly increasing. The attorney-general of Massachusetts has suggested that trials for certain criminal offenses be held In secret, thus shutting out prurient idlers and making it difficult for cheap newspapers to gather the filth *on which they fatten. In such an event, the criminal would miss his notoriety, the loafer his scandal and the newspaper its "sensation"—but to decent people the aggregate of all these losses would be a great gain. In a certain Important trial a lawyer •aid to a woman witness: "Will you kindly turn round and give us the benefit__of the light of your countenance?" The court at once instructed" the wJtnese that she need not heed a request so worded. Lawyers of a certain popular type go on the principle that an opposing witness made angry Is half-secured for their side. It is a pity that all judges do not frown upon the practice. Senator Hanna is severely rebuked by the Denver Po-vt because he didn't kiss the Bible when he was sworn in as senator. We don't know wkat Js going to be done with that man. Everything he does seems to be wrong. It was a mistake that he got himself elected. He had the assurance to let the reporters give him a room in the white house. And now his son's wife is going to sue for a divorce and prove all manner of mean things about her husband. The Order of the Crown is a n e * Ofcaoization, to which only women who «an trace their ancestry back to a king are eligible. The Sons of the Revolution are not as ambitious as that, but it is quite likely that they have better ancestors than the famous and infamous royalty to which they claim kinship. But an older order than all is mentioned by Lawyer Babcock of Elxnira, who said in a speech at a recent dinner of the sons in question: "I am not a son of the revolution, but a son of evolution, and my ancestry antedates that which you honor tonight." Without going back to the lizard and the tadpole, suppose there be an order of the sons and daughter of Adam and Eve. That, surely, will hit every distinguished nail on its noble head. Dr. Mary Walker is justifiably vexed at being refused membership by the Daughters of the American Revolution, trader the rules of the order Dr. Mary Walker made proof of her eligibility o a l was rejected on the plea that she bad "repudiated the recognized apparel of woman." What Is the recognised apparel of woman? Is it golfer's uniform, the bicycle garb, the ballroom ooctume, the tailor-made garment or Che shirt waist and short skirt of the jnmmer girl? If Dr. Mary Walker prefers to wear the golfer's coat and th« bicycler's trousers as a regular costume./ Joes that make her any the less a patriotic daughter of the revolution? But to this case the doctor will have to take ter mtdfcine, as the Daughters of <he -Rftvoluttati hare decided that they «** f i t along wlthoot the aid of thj TALMAGE'S SERMON. "8PLENDOR8 TO BE UNROLLED" LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. From the Text; I. Corinthian*, Chapter XIII., Ven»« 19, »• Follows i "For Now We See Through a Qlui, Darkly; Bat Then Face to Face. The Bible is the most forceful and pungent of books. While it has the sweetness of a mother's hush for human trouble, It has all the keenness of a scimitar, and the crushing power of a lightning-bolt. It portrays with more than a painter's power, at one stroke picturing a heavenly throng and a judgment conflagration. Thn strings of this great harp are" fingered by all the splendors of the future, now sound- Ing with the/crackle of consuming worlds, now">tflVilling with the joy ofthe everlasting emancipated. It tells how one forbidden tree in the garden blasted the earth with sickness and death; and how another tree, though leafless and bare, yet, planted on Calvary, shall yield a fruit which shall more than antidote the poison of the other. It tellfe how the red-ripe clusters of God's wrath were brought to the wine-press, and Jesus trod them out; and how, at last, all the golden chalices of heaven shall glow with the wine of that awful vintage. It dazzles the eye with an Ezekiel's vision of wheel, and wing, and fire, and whirlwind; and stoops down so low that it can put Its lips to the ear of a dying child and say, "come up higher." And yet Paul, in my text, takes the responsibility of saying that it is only an Indistinct mirror, and that its mission shall be suspended. I think there may be one Bible In heaven, fastened to the throne. Just as now, in a museum, we have a lamp exh'umea~fjoTn~ "to stady-th«- dispensation, -and—af4er Herculaneum or Nineveh, and we l^ok hil b t ht Gd at it with great interest and say, "How poor a light It must have given compared with our modern lamps!" So I think that this Bible, which was a lamp to our feet in this world, may He near the throne of God, exciting our interest to all eternity by the contrast between its comparatively feeble light and the illumination of heaven. The Bible, now, is the scaffolding to the rising temple, but when the building is done, there will be no use for the scaffolding. The idea I shall develop today is, that in this world our knowledge is comparatively dim and unsatisfactory, but nevertheless is introductory to grander and more complete vision. Th's is eminently true In regard to our view of God. We hear so much about God that we conclude that we understand him. He is represented as having the tenderness of a father, th6 flrmness of a judge, the majesty of a king, and the love of a mother. We hear about him, talk about him, write about him, We lisp his name in infancy, and it trembles on the tongue of the dying octogenarian. We think that we know very much about him. Take the attribute of mercy. Do we understand it? The Bible blossoms all. over with that word—mercy. It speaks again and again of the tender mercies of God; of the sure merctes; of the great mercies; of the mercy that endureth forever; of the multitude of his mercies. And yet I know that the views we have of this great Being are most indefinite, one-sided and incomplete. When, at death, the gates shall fly open, anfi we shall look directly upon him, how new and surprising! We see upon canvas a picture of the morning. We study the cloud In the sky, the dew upon the grass, and the husbandman on the way to the field. Beautiful picture of the morning! But ire rise at daybreak, and go up on a hill to see for ourselves that which was represented to us. While we look the mountains are transfigured. The burnished gates of heaven swing open and shut, to let past a host of fiery splendors. The clouds are all abloom, and hang pendent from arbors of alabaster and amethyst. The waters make pathway of inlaid pearl for the light to walk upon; and there is morning on the sea. The crags uncover their soarred visage; and there is morning among the mountains. Now you go home, and how tame your picture of the morning seems in contrast! Greater than that shall be the contrast between this Scriptural view of God and that which we shall have when standing face to face. This, Is a picture of the morning, that will be the morning itself. Again; my text is true of the Saviour's excellency. By image, and sweet rhythm of expression, and startling antithesis, Christ is set forth—his love, his compassion, his work, his life, his death, his resurrection. We are challenged to measure it, to compute it, to weigh i t In the hour of our broken mthrailment, we mount up into high experience of his love, and shout until the countenance glows, and the blood bounds, and the whole nature Is exhilarated, "I have found him!" And yet it is through a glass, darkly. We see not half of that compassionate face. We feel net half the warmth of that loving heart. We watt for 4eath to let us ruth Into his outspread arms. Then we shall be face to face. Not shadow then, but substance. Not hope then, but the fulfilling of all preflgurement. That will be a magnificent unfolding. The rushing out in view of all hidden excellency, the coming again of a longabsent Jesus, to meet us—not in rags, and in penury, and death, but amidst a light, and pomp, and outbursting joy such as none but a glorified inteligence could experience. Oh! to gaxe full upon the brow that was lacerated, upon the side that waa pierced, upon the feet that were nailed; to stand close up in the presence of him who prayed for us on the mountain, and thought of us by the sea, and agonized for us in the garden, and died for us in horrible crucifixion; to feel of him, to embrace him, to take his hand, to kiss his feet, to run our fingers along the scars of ancient suffering; to say, "This is my Jesus! He gave himself for me, I shall never leave his presence. I shall forever behold his glory. I shall eternally hear his voice. Lord Jesus, now I see thee! I behold where the blood started, where the tears coursed, where the face was distorted. I have waited for this hour. I shall never turn my back on thee. No more looking through Imperfect glasses. No more studying thee in the darkness. But, as long as this throne stands, and this everlasting river flows, and those garlands bloom, and these arches of victory remain to greet home heaven's conquerors, so long I shall see thee Jesus of my choire; Jesus of my pong; Jesus of my triumnh—forever and forever*— face to face!" The idea of the text is just as true when applied to God's providence. Who has not come to some pass in life thoroughly Inexplicable? You say, "What does this mean? What Is God going to do with me now? He tells me that all things work together for good. This does not look like it." You continue awhile guess about what God means. "He means to teach me this. I think he means to teach me that. Perhaps It is to humble my pride. Perhaps It is to make me feel more dependenif Perhaps to teach me the uncertainty w life." But after all, it is only a guess— a looking through the glass, darkly. The Bible assures us there shall be a satisfactory unfolding. "What r do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." You will know why God took to himself that only child. Next door there was a household of seven children. Why not take one from that group, instead of your only one? Why single out the dwelling in which there was only one heart beating responsive to yours? Why did God give you a child at all. if he meant to take it away? Why fill the cup of your gladness brimming, If he meant to dash it down? Why allow all the tendrils of your heart to wind, around lhat object, and then, when every fibre ; of your own life seemed to be inter- ] locked with the child's life, with strong hand to tear you aoart, until you fall, bleeding and crushed, your dwelling desolate, your hopes bbsteri, your heart broken? Dp you suppose that God will explain that? Yea. He will make it plainer than any mathematical problem —aa plain as that two and two make four. In the lleht of the throne you will see that it was right—all right. Here is a man who can not get on In tne world. He always seems to buy at the wrong time and to sell at the worst disadvantage. He tries this enterprise, and fails; that business, and is disappointed. The man next door to him has a lucrative trade, but he lacks customers. A new prospect opens; his income is increased. But that year his family are sick, and the profits are expended in trying to cure the ailments. He gets a discouraged look. Becomes faithless as to success. Begins to expect disasters. Others wait for something. to turn up; he waits for it to turn down. Others, with only half as much education and character, get on twice as well. He sometimes guesses as to what it all means. He says, "Perhaps riches would*spoil me. Perhaps poverty is necessary to keep me humble. Perhaps I might, if things were otherwise, be tempted into dissipations." But there is no complete solution of the mystery. He sees through a glass darkly, and must wait for a higher unfolding. Will there be an explanation? Yes; God will take that man in the light of the throne and say, "Child immortal, hear the explanation! You remember the failing of that great enterprise— your misfortune in 1857; your disaster In 1867. This is the explanation." And you will answer, "It is all right." Again, the thought of the text is Just when applied to the enjoyments of the righteous in heaven. I think we have but little idea of the number of the righteous in heaven. Infidels say: "Your heaven will be a very small place compared with the world of the lost; for, according to your teaching, the majority of men will be destroyed." I deny the charge. I suppose that the multitude of the finally lost, as compared with the multitude of (he finally saved, will be a handful. I suppose that tite tew sick people In the hokpjtal today, as compared with the hnndr«Mlt of thousands of well people in the city, would not be smaller than the number of those who shall be cast out in suffering, compared with those who shall hive upon them the health cf heaven. For we are to remember that we are living in comparatively the beginning of the Christian dispensation, and that this world is to be populated and redeemed, and that ages of light and love are to flow on. If this be so, the multitudes of the saved will be In vast majority. Take all the congregations tltat have today assembled for worship. Put them together and they would make but a small audlercs compared with the thousands and tens of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, and the hundred and forty and four thousand that shall stand around the throne. Those flashed up to heaven in martyr fires; those tossed for many years upon the invalid couch; those fought in the armies of liberty, and rose as they fell; those tumbled from high scaffoldings, or slipped from the mast, or were washed off into the sea. They came up from Corinth, from Laodicea from the Red Sea bank and Gennesaret'e wave, from Egyptian brick yards, and Gideon's thrashingfloor. Those, thousands of years ago, slept the last sleep, and these are this moment having their eyes closed, and their limbs stretched out for the sepulchre. A general expecting an attack from the enemy stands on a hill and looks through a field glass, and sees, in the great distance, multitudes approaching, but has no idea of their numbers. He says, "I cm not tell anything about them. I merely know that there are a great number." And so John, without out attempting to count, says: "A great multitude that no man can number." We are told that heaven Is a place ^l^MPPi^fL? but what do we know about happiness? Happiness in this world is only a half-fledged thing; a flowery path, with a serpent hissing across it; a broken pitcher, from which the water has dropped before we could drink it; a thrill of exhilaration, followed by disastrous reactions. To help us understand,the joy of heaven, the Bible takes us to a river. We stand on the grassy bank. We see the waters flow on with ceaseless wave. But the filth of the cities are emptied into it; and the banks are torn; and unhealthy exhalations spring up from it; and we fail to get an idea of the River of Life in heaven. We get very imperfect ideas of the reunions of heaven. We think of some festal day on earth, when, father and mother were yet living, and the children came home. A good time that! But it had this drawback—all were not there. That brother went off to sea. and never was heard from. That sister— did we not lay away in the freshness of her young life, never more in this world to look upon her? Ah! there was a skeleton at the feast, and tears mingled with our laughter on that Christmas day. Not so with heaven's reunions: It will be an uninterrupted gladness. Many a Christian parent will look around and find all his children there. "Ah!" he says, "can it be possible that we are all here— life's perils over? The Jordan passed, and not one wanting? Why, even the prodigal Is here. I almost gave him up. How long he despised my counsels! but grace hath triumphed. All here! all here! Tell the mighty joy through the city. Let the bells ring, and the angels mention it in their song. Wave it from the top of Ene walls. All here!" No more breaking «of heart strings, but face to face. The orphans that were left poor, and in a merciless world, kicked and cuffed of many hardships, shall join their parentB, over whose graves they so long wept, and gaze into their glorified countenances forever, face to face. We may come up from different parts of the world, one from the land and another from the depths of the sea; from lives affluent and prosperous, or from scenes of ragged distress; but we shall all meet In rapture and jubilee, face to face. Many of our friends have entered upon that joy. A few days ago they sat with us studying these Gospel themes; but they only saw^ through a glass, darkly—now rev-elation hath come. Your time will alato. come. God will not leave you foundering in the darkness. You stand wonder struck and amazed You feel as if all the loveliness of life were dashed out. You stand gazing into the open chasm of the grave. Wait a little. In the-pre ence of your departed, and of him who carries them in his bosom, you shall soon stand face to face! Oh, that our last hour may kindle up with this promised joy* May we be able to say, like the Christian not long ago, departing: "Though a pilgrim, walking through the valley, the mountain tops are gleaming from peak to peak!" or. like my dear friend and brother, AY* fred Cookman, who took his flight to the throne of God, saying in his last moment that which has already gone into Christian class c;: "I am sweeping through the pearly gate, washed in tht blood of the Lamb!" WAR CLOUD iW THE EAST. Russia and Japan Preparing tot Trouble —The Chinese Situation Be-opened. Much uneasiness is fcl^ in Chinese circles in consequence of the Russian demands for the settlement of the lease of Tort Arthur and Ta Lien Wan by March 26. The Russian minister of finance is reported to have urged these demands peremptorily and to have complained that the Chinese loan was settled in spite of the disapproval of Russia. All the London papers comment on the menacing condition of affairs in the far east. The Daily Chronicle In a strong editorial bays: ''As a rebuff to Lord Salisbury nothing could be clearer and more pu'nful. Russia has simply begun , the partition of China. If anybody asks what China will db the answer is simple. There is nothing as to China. The real questions are: What will England do, und what Japan?" The ministerial Standard's editorial says: "Years may pass in the execution of the designs but from the moment the leases are signed the partition of China is begun. The disguise is too thin to be meant to deceive. It is no wonder that the eyes of the nation are fixed in eager expectation upon Ja,pan. The question remains whether England will resist Russia or proceed to restore the equilibrium by independent measures of her own." The Russian government has ordered 30 new torpedo bouts to augment the Russian I'acitie squadron at Vladivostock and Port Arthur) Russia also proposes to keep eight cruisers of the volunteer fleet continually, in far eastern waters instead of the Mack sea, so as to avoid the possibility of being hampered by Great Uritain closing the Suez canal. All signs on the European horizon point conclusively to a war between Russia and Japan in the*-near future. Tfnpan realizes—that- Russia is making dangerous encroachments in China, where she herself should enjoy the fruits of victory. Russia, on the other hand, will not recede, hence a war with Japan seems inevitable. Pekin: The Russian demands from China have caused the greatest excitement at the Japanese legation and the Japanese minister has had several interviews with the officials of the Chinese foreign office urging^the rejection of the Russian demands. In addition, it is reported that Japan has threatened to take vigorous action if the demands of Russia are confirmed. Plague Rioting at Bombay, Dispatches from Bombay say that a riot has broken out among the lowcaste Hindoos and Mohammedans against the Europeans. It had its origin in an attack upon a plague search party. Two soldiers had already been killed, and the police had fired on the mob, killing six persons and "Wtwnding many others. Other dispatcfies say that a plague inspector and three men in the Shropshire regiment were stoned to death. A later dispatch from Bombay says the mob attacked the hospital, burned the offices and stores, and savagely assaulted the doctors, killing one of them. The riot is described as causing a tremendous sensation. All the available troops and artillery have been called out and business is suspended. Heat's Awful Work In Australia. Disaster and desolation beyond description have overtaken two colonies of Australia from the intense heat of their midsummer sun. Water in the wells sunk into the 'parched earth, streams dried up, and rivers visibly sank as in a falling tide. Forests were destroyed by fire and the smoke shut out the scotching sun. Miles of farms are burned, and in New Zealand, as well as Victoria, bush fires have blotted out whole townships. Settlers flock to the towns in hundreds and thousands, half naked, terribly blistered and terrorstricken.

Tip tU« Family If There I* Not Knoagh to Go Around. Nervous housewives whose husbands frequently bring home company to dinner without preliminary warning often worry In their secret hearts for fear there may not be food enough to supply the unexpected guests. A matron living in one of the prettiest suburban residences in West Philadelphia, whose husband persists In bringing home guests at the most Inopportune times, has hit upon a happy expedient to meet possible emergencies. In passing any dishes at the table of which there may be a limited supply the hostess makes a point to mention the enigmatical letters "F. H. B." in such a manner as not to attract the attention of the guests around the board. Immediately the members of the family are aware of the circumstances and discreetly partake very lightly, If at all, of the viands In question. The secret of the three letters was solved by a quick-witted guest a few days ago, and the hostess afterward laughingly confessed her little scheme. "P. IL B." in this instance stands for "Family hold back." AN OP6N LETTER TO MOTHVtS.

PINKHAM CONQUERS BACKACHE. roar Women Who Owe Their Present Happiness to Lydla & Pink" bom's Vegetable Compound. DEAR MRS. PIVKHAM:—When I wrote to you last Jane, I was not able to do anything. I suffered with back* ache, headache, bearing-down pains, pain* in my lower limbs, and ached all through my body. Menstruations were very painful. I was almost a skeleton. I followed your advice and now am well and fleshy, and able to do all my own housework. I took medicine from a physician-for over a year, and it did not do me a particle of good. I would advise all suffering women to write to Mrs. Pinkham. She will answer all letters promptly, and tell +\.~m how to cure those aches and pains so common to women.—Mrs, C. L.WINK, Marquez, Texas. I think it is my duty to write and let you know what your medicine has done for me. For two years I suffered with female weakness, bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and too frequent occurrence of the menses. I was always complaining. My husband urged me to try your Vegetable Compound, and I finally did. I have taken three bottles and it has made me feel like a different woman. I advise every woman that suffers to take your medicine and be cured.—Mrs. GARRKTT LICHTY, 612 S. Prince St., Lancaster, Pa. I had suffered for over two years with backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness, falling and ulceration of the womb, leucorrhcea, and about every ill a woman could have. I had tried doctors, but with no success, and it seemed as though death was the only relief forme. A fter using five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkhani'a Vegetable Compound, and four packages of Sanative Wash, I am well. Have had no more pain, womb trouble, backache or headache.—Mrs. CLAUDIA HALPIN, Cream Ridge, N. J. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was afflicted with female complaints so that I could hardly walk. My back ached terribly, in fact, I ached all over. Was not able to raise myself up some of the time. I had no appetite and was so nervous that I could hardly sleep. I have taken but two bottles of your Compound and feel like another person, can now eat and sleep to perfection, in fact, am perfectly welL—Mrs. Sux MCCULLOUGH, Adlai, W. Va. Lydla E.

Mr. Oaks has suffered a great deal from kidney ailments; he described his condition and cure as follows: ''Iliad a bad, lame back, which I suppose was caused by my kidneys ; was confined to my bed during bad attacks. I might say, from time to time, I have been in that condition for years. The urinary organism was affected,' urine being scanty, highly colored, and difficult In passage. I was iu a bad shape when I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, about which 1 had hoard. I have used now two boxes of them, and the pills have removed all the pain and trouble.

"H'm!" remarked Barbara, with another sniff, "perhaps not. But for all ftiat, Miss Dorothy—Ma'am, I should toy—David Stevenson waa a mean boy, And i never could abide meanness in man, woman nor child." "He was most generous to me," iflaid Dorothy, with a sigh. "Yes, to serve his own ends," said 'Barbara sharply. "You may take such generosity as that for me. Not-that I was speaking of that ma'am, for I wasn't, but of the time when David was a boy—a horrid boy, who thought nothing of stealing the beat apples and letting another take the blame of it," "Oh, Barbara! Barbara!" cried Dorothy, "you've got hold of a wrong •tory. Why, I know that once when David stole some cf auntie's apples, and young Tom Merriman got the blame, David came and told auntie himself." "Yes; and for why?" demanded Barbara, with uncompromising sternness. "Because I happened to have caught the young llmb^at it and collared him before he could get away. 'You are stealing Mrs. Dimsdale's apples, David Stevenson,' I said, laying hold of him auddenlike; 'and you stole them other apples that Tom Merriman has been sacked for.' 'And what's that to you, you old sneak?' he asked. 'Sneak or a© sneak,' eaid I, 'yeuHt- turn out ymir pockets to me, my fioe gentleman; and you'll go straight up to the house and you'll tell Miss xyimsdale that it was you stole the apples last week, and fhen you'il go and ask Tom Merriman's pardon for having let liim lie under your fault,' 'That I shan't,' says he. , 'Then,' says I, 'I Just walks you right off to Miss Dimsdaie. and she'll see you with your pockets full, redhanded ae you are. No', says I, 'it's no use to struggle. I've got you safe by the arms, and so I mean to keep you, Whether you like it or not. And if once Miss Dimsdaie knows the truth, do you know what she'll do, David Stevenson?' says I. 'No.' says he, «ulkily. "What?' 'She'll never stop to think that you're David Stevenson of Holroyd,' I says, 'but she'll just hand you over to the constable at once, au*d I don't think, my young gentleman,' I adds, 'that Tom Merriman having got the sack to fill your inside with i 11— CHAPTER XX. 1TH a shriek Dorothy awoke — the sun was streaming in at tlie sides nt the window-blinds, and Barbara waa j u s t c o m i u g through the doorway with a little tray bearing Dorothy's early cup of tea. "Did 1 scream, Barbara?" Dorothy gasped. "A bit of a cry. What ailed you, ma'am?" Uarbara asked. "Oh: I was s'ci frightened—I had such a horrid tlwam about tuc master. I thought " But Dorothy did not complete the sentence, for Barbara put out her hand with a bonified look. "Nay, now, Miss Dorothy, don't tell it. Whatever you do, don't tell mo." "But why?" cried Dorothy, openeyed1. "You should never tell a dream before noon, Miss Dorothy," returned Barbara, portentously. "Oh!" exclaimed Dorothy, "ian't it -kte-k-y-f-Siir knew that Barbara was bench in the very least.'" "Well, so I suppose he gave in," said Dorothy, who was deeply interested. • "Well, of course, he had to," returned Barbara, with practical plainness; "fcut all the same, he never forgave me for having been the one to get the better of him, and never forgot it, not to ihe very last day we were at the hall. Ah! Miss Dorothy, darling, if you had thought proper to marry David Steven- •on, you would have k»d to do without me. He never would have had me about him, and'I wouldn't have taken service under his roof—no, not to save myself from ending my days in the workhouse." "Barbara, Barbara," cried Dorothy chidingly, "not for me?" "Well, if you had put it in that way, Miss Dorothy, you might have got over me," the old woman answered. But s^ay! I think I ought to say here th.it although I have called her old In man^ parts of this story, Barbara was not, and could not reasonably be called an old woman in the common acceptation of the word. She was a year or so over fifty, and a very strong, hale woman at that, and at this time to Dorothy she was a very rock and tower of strength. Well, by virtue of the letter from Esther Erand and in the joy and expectation of her coming, Dorothy passed that day with quite a light heart, and even sat down to the little piano and oang one or two of the songs that Dick liked best. And then she went to bed ,_and slept, leaving the door open between her room and Barbara's for company, and she dreamed, as she always did, about Dick. Nor was it a pleasant dream. She saw Dick on board of a large steamer, wearing white clothes and a sailor hat, looting very bronzed and happy. He was leaning over the side of the ship, with a cigarette | n his mouth, just as she had see© him many a time, and by bis side there stood a beautiful lady —cot a girl like Dorothy herself, bat a beautiful woman of about thirty years old, such aa Dorothy fancied her old friend at home, Lady Jane Sturt, might have been at that age. They fl&emed to be talking earnestly together, and after a time—such a long time it seemed in her dream—Dick took one of the lady'a hands and raised it to his Hpa; then so* laughed and said something, and Dick caught her to him and kisfted her on the lips. Immediately .afterward, while Dorothy, with frozen a great believer in hick, and signs and omens. "It's fatal." answered Barbara solemnly, whoTvai Dorothy burst out laughing, and the worst feelings of dread with which she had awakened passed away. "I think." she said after breakfast when Barbara was clearing the table— "that I shall put on my hat and go up to the High street—I cannot finish this umil I get r.ome more lace;" then she held It up and showed it off to Barbara. "Isn't it sweet?" she exclaimed with intense satisfaction. "It's lovely." returned Barbara, who was overjoyed at the prospect of a baby. "Then do you wish me to t?o with you. ma'am, or will you go alone?" "Do you want to go?" Dorothy asked. "Well, ma'am, to be honest, I don't. I want to turn out the room for Miss Esther. "V«JU see. she may come nearly aB fast is her letter. a»d I shouldn't like to pii* her into a dirty room." "It car': be dirty, Barbara," cried Dorothy, laughing, "because nobody has ever slept in it." "Well, ma'am," Barbara retorted, "I can't say that I know a dirtier person than Mr. Nobody—on the whole." Dorothy laughed. "Well, then you evidently have a lot to do, and I would just as soon go alone. So I wi>l go hot' " over, YOt* STARTLED ME. soon, before I g*-t tired or the day gets for although September was half the weather just then was most sultry and trying to those not in the best of health. She was soon ready, and went into the coscy little kitchen to ask Barbara if there was anything she wanted, but she did not happen to want anything at aH. "Do 1 look all right?" Dorothy asked, turning herself about. "Yes, you look very sweet this morning. Miss Dorothy," said Barbara. "I wish the master could see you this minute." "So do I," echoed Dorothy "promptly? "Well, he will see me soon enough, Boon enough. Good-by. Barbara." Barbara followed her to the door and watched her out into the street, and truly, as she had said, her young mistress waB looking: very bonny that day. On her fair hair, loosely arranged, yet not untidy-looking, she had a small straw bonnet trimmer! with ribbon and a cluster .of gloirc rte Dijon roses. Over her pretty blue cotton gown she wore a long dust-cloak of some thin and light-toned material. She also wore tan-colored shoes and Suede glovea of about tJi« same tone, and sho oairieA a 1. rge white cut toil paradol to shield her from the sun. }*. v-ns a very simple and cheap toil* tUi, tout it was fresh ami ilainty-lubUing, and Dorothy looked bright and lovable and a little lady from the crown of her bonnet to the tips of her shoes; indeed, more than one person thought so as she passed up the street; and the old (.leueral, who was out for his usual morning trot, stopped in hia walk, and, wheeling round, stood to look after her till she had turned tho corner and was out of sight, when hu went on with his self-imposed sentry go, wishing with all his heart he way forty years younger. Meaiujnio Dorothy went serenely on her way, reached the tihop for which she was bound, ami there made her purchases, all small enough for her to bring them away iu a ne.u littlo. parcel in her unoccupiod hand. And then, Just as she stepped off the doorstep of the shop on to the pavement, she suddenly found herself face to face with David. If it had been possible she would have retreated back into the shop; but it was too late for that. David Stevenson had already uttered an exclamation of surprise, and was standing close in front of her, holding out both his hands to her. Now, if there was one person in all the wide world whom Dorothy woiild rather not have seen just then, that person was David Stevenson. 1 think she looked all tho dismay which she felt, and that she felt all and perhaps more than the dismay which she looked. "Oh! is that you?" she gasped. David let his hands, with their glad welcome, drop instantly. "You're not very glad to see me, Dorothy," he said, in quiet, b.ut bitter reproach. "I—that is, you startled rae," she replied, iu a wild endeavor to put off any questions he might think proper to ask her. "Evidently," he said, dryly, "and you want to get rid of me, eh?" "Oh, not at all," biting her lip and wishing that she could sink into the ground, or dissolve into thia air, anywhere out of the way of his hard and steely-blue eyes, which seemed to look her through, and to know in a moment all the secrets of her life. '-"No? Ah. that^is better. Then, since you don't want to get rid of me all in a hurry, perhaps you will let me walk a little way with you. May I?" "Oh, yes, certainly," said Dorothy, giving herself up for lost at once. "Do you live near here?" he asked. At that moment there was a slight block on the pavement of the always busy street, and just as David spoke Dorothy perceived that the sweetfaced lady who lived on the floor abov«* Ail!1, THE WAR DOGS MAY BE LOOSE AT ANY TIME. LET her was also blocked, and stood for a moment or so face to face with her, Undoubtedly she had heard David'b question just as Dorothy had done, and undoubtedly Dorothy had never seen her eyes so cold or her lips so austerely shut before. In her distress and annoyance at being thus^ apparently caught, Dorothy blushed a vivTd, guilty crimson—a fact upon which the sweet-faced lady put the usual construction to which all highly moral persons seem to jump at once in a moment of doubt—that is, the very worst possible one. "Can you give me no news from home, then?" Dorothy asked, in a desperate voice, raised far above her usu- &.:. toues. David looked down at her in surprise— au involuntary action which was not lost upon the lady, who was still unable to pass on. "News?" he repeated. "Why, of course 1 can. I have so much news to tell you that I hardly know where to begin. Let me see—Lady Jane is back, of course." Dorothy turned her head in time to see that the lady had passed on and was out of ear shot before David had begun his news. There, just like David's stupidity to be too late. Why, she wondered, irritably, could he not have happened to Eay something which would have let that woman upstairs know that they had known each other all their lives"; But no, David had always blundered whenever and wherever she was concerned, and she supposed that he always would. Her Interest in the home news was gone, lost in the depths of her annoyance, but she listened patiently till he had exhausted that topic, till she had heard who was married and who was dead, of a fire in such a one's rick-yard, and of a barn belonging to another which had been struck by lightning. Then he told her how i e nad improved the Hall—her perfect old home, wihich in her mind needed improvement of no kind—how he had Rut u smart, capable gardener in to bring the place into real good condition—•— "And old Isaac?" said Dorothy.flerce- "Oh, he is still about—I shouldn't turn any old servant of yours off, you know. There are plenty of odd ^obs for him about the place." •VWhat sort of odd jot*?" demaadea Dorothy. {To be Continued.) un le Sum IN Iti'iwly, hut C'untlnui'K to !H;iki* l'xtt'ii*kvi* I' mid l.umi T w o New IJt'i'ii 1'iiri'tiHHtui from lJru/11, llttvti i* T M IV'I/( f i V KwrvUiintf b astir and bustle n,t tho I I if I l U l i i , M ; | j v |'illlJHi m i v y y u r ( | n t Valejo, Vul | Hundred* oi' workmen are bejnj* added to the usual force to rush the work of preparing- the Charleston, Philadelphia, ilariford, tVnsstoola and Adams for service. 3'lie Vorktown is awaiting repairs.

A general movement of troops from the interior posts, both cavaliy and infantry, to support the new artillery batteries on the coast is expected to be ordered shortly.

An unprecedented action is the enlistment of landsmen for naval service, at the League island navy yard at Philadelphia. Any able bodied man who answers physical requirements is accepted. The New Vork Herald says that President MeKlnley is now of the opinion that the trouble, with Spain can be settled diplomatically. He favors a plan being1 talked by Levi P.

Contracts have just been signed for the purchase of the Brazilian' warships Amiizonsis and Admiral Jireu which are now receiving* finishing* touches in an English .shipyard. Full crews are being1 organized to man the two vessels ius soon as they are completed, and the fact that Uncle Sam will thus have two fine war vessels so near Spain's coast has enabled the navy department to order three other vessels now at European stations to loin the North Atlantic squadron at Key West as soon as possible. * • ' «>«thwesterl v There is intense activity at the Washington navy yard, three shifts of men working .'.'1 hours continuously.

Should Get Mrs. Pinkham's Advice—The Whole Truth can bo TolA to her Because ehe is a Womr.ru The STifferinf and pain endured by some working women is almost past belief. Here is a letier from one of tlie multitude of women who hav^j been restored to health and usefulness by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine: DEAR MKS. PINKUA «I :—I feel as though your advice had liiled me from the grave. I must have been very near it. I fered terribly at time of menstruation, constantly troubled with cold hands and feet, was extremely nervous, coxild not sleep well, was troubled w i t h frightened d»vr.:n.s, had heart trouble and a frelin^ as though my brou'h was/jointy to stop, -al:^o had' leucorrhaia. I tried to get help l:ut all remedies failed, until I wrote to you. I cannot thank you enough for your DOINGS OF CONGRESS. A resolution offered by Senator Chandler, of *Je\v Hampshire, autborthe committee on naval affairs to for persons and papers in the course of the investigation of the Maine disaster, was adopted by the Senate. The bill for a railroad bridge over Detroit river has been introduced in the House by Rep. Corliss. It provides that the bridge approach nhall be in i'.'ie city limits of Detroit; that the plans sliall be approved by engineers of the war department; that it shall be for joint use of all railroads on ecjual terms; it shall have not more than Ihree spans between bulk and head ines on both sides of the river, the .main channel span to be 1,100 feet clear, bight and width to be determined by the secretary of war; there shall be but two piers inside bulk head lines. It also provides thut if the bridge is not begun in three years and completed in six. the act .shall be void. The Senate passed a bill authorizing the construction of eight new revenue cutters not exceeding iu aggregate cost the sum of £:.\02.r>.U00. Rep. Henderson, of Iowa, hits introduced a bill to prevent the use of the U. S.. flag as a business advertisement or the use of any government publication as advertising mediums. Senator Lodge gave notice of an amendment to the naval bill, appropriating S~r>,000 for making soundings for a cable line from the Hawaiian islands U) Japan and also to Australia. Three new battleships of the staunchest type afloat have been authorized by the House committee on naval affairs. A majority of the committee favors making the number six instead of three and will endeavor to so amend the bill. The President has asked the House naval_c'ommittee_to report a bill for the reorganization of the personnel of the navy, the intention being* to increase the number of naval officers; to remove the cause of -.strife between line and staff officers; making engineer officers line officers, and training young line officers in engineering duties, and also shortening to four the years the term for naval academy cadets at the school when they afterwards take two years' cruise training. Republican leaders in the House are pressing for an early adjournment, and it is said that their present course meets full approval of the President. All save three of the appropriation bills have gone to the Senate. The postoffice bill has been taken up in the House and the appropriations and naval committees arc working daily to get the last two bills, the general deficiency and naval, ready to report. The Democrats generally favor an early adjournment, although there is not unanimity among them on this point. Neither is there complete harv mony on the Republican side of the House. Many of the Republicans believe congress should remain in session until the Cuban question is finally and effectually cleared. Hut they would hardly go to1 the extent of opposing the wi-sh of the leaders and administration. It is admitted that the question of carrying out this program will depend entirely upon the attitude of the Senate. Eleven Men liurncd to Death. Eleven men lost their lives in the fire which swept through the Bowery Mission house at 105 liowery. New York City, and left it a blackened shell. Their bodies, now at the morgue, are so charred that most of them may never be recognized. The mission was filled with lodgers who were all asleep when the alarm was given, and several of those who escaped were clad only in the garb of nature. OVERWORKED BRAIN. From the Record, PUrcetony Ind. Determined to rise in big chosen profession as an educator, Ernest Kemper, of Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed himself mentally and physically. He was ambitious, his mind was always on his work. From early morn until late at night he continually poured over his books. "Burned the candle at both ends." Few persona,even with the otrongeetcon- •titution, can keep up under such a strain. In addition to his studies, Mr. Kemper was teaching a school Home throe miles from his home. Finally, his excessive btudy and the exposure of going to and from school in all kinds of weather undermined bis health. He was taken to his bed with pneumonia and his overworked brain almost collapsed. For several weeks he wan seriously ill. Catarrh had taken root iu his ny stein and his mind was in a deluate coudltiou. He wan seat to Colorado where he spent three mouths without receiving any beuefit. Thau a n o t e d special ist from Cleveland treated him w i t h o u t avail, and then a hospital in Chicago was tried, but all absolutely without benefit. Finally his physician recommeuded Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People, and from the improve. Wheu be was completely Overstudy, first bbooxx hhee bbeeggaann to be bad takeu nine boxes p cured. ^This famous blood and nerve medicine had accomplished what all bis former expensive treatment failed to accomplish. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh ha« entirely left him; he in strong again aud weighs niue pounds more taan he ever did. He gives the pillfl the entire credit. He is starting teaching again and feels abundantly able to contin e the work. To prove that the above is true in every respect, Mr. Kemper made an affidavit as follows: Subscribed and sworn to before me thii the 10th day of Reptember, 1»97. R. P. WATT, Notary Public.

I could not move without the greatest caution, for as soon as I attempted to sto:>p over, bend to one side, or even turn i:i bed, the pain was simply unbearable. I wore porous plasters constantly for the little temporary relief they brought me. "Whenever I caught the slightest cold it went straight to my kidneys and made me worse. I was advised to try Doin's Kidney Pills, and got some. I have taken ia all four boxes of them, and I now feel ;u active as ever.

The stock ticker is no good. It looks a good deal as if China would get into trouble, no matter what she does. The Kiiaer's papers talk freely about American impudence. Hah! Is there a worm in that, too? With $50,000,000 within reach President McKinley will no doubt be able to keep the Spanish wolf from his door. In this great and glorious land of the free you always have to pay for tne drinks in order to get a whack at the free lunch. It is alleged that the new leader of the Marine Baud is as great a conductor as Souaa. That's a good story for the marines. A Chicago paper says there is need of reform in the marriage laws. It judiciously refrains from saying anything about the divorce laws. "Let's pen up thew jackasses awhile In the back lot," remarked the Rev. Sam Jones, as be gracefully retired from the race for governor of Georgia, Secretary Alger's reply to Secretary Long's announcement that Spain's "responsibility in the Maine disaster had been eliminated" was an example of cutting a long story shorty The Spanish conBul at Key—West is rather an honest fellow. He did not half-mast the Spanish flag, because he knew that he was not grieving, and he could not be certain that other Spanlards were mourning. A Roumanian manufacturer has constructed a piano that can be heard six miles. There are pianos in nearly every apartment house in Chicago that can be heard seventy-two miles and they are used only by beginners. The people of Philadelphia may be excused if they drink a little beer. Rev. E. A. Rawden states openly that the city water is positively unfit to drink, or even bathe in. He lays it all to the professional politicians, and beseeches the people to rise up and emite them. There are those who cannot drink beer and nobody wants to bathe In it. Pupil* are conducted through many "ologies" and introduced to many "isms," but they are not well grounded in the three or four primary matters of an English education. A boy or girl who has learned to read and write and spell, with a knowledge of arithmetic and geography, is better prepared for a university education than a boy or girl who has been dragged through an endless array of the socalled higher studies in the common schooLs. TALMAGE'S SERMON. "STONING OF STEPHEN," SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. The attention which the athletic committee of Harvard's board of overseers is now paying to the matter of reforming college athletes so as to bring them back to a simpler and less objectionable form should result in correcting some of these abuses. College sports have their legitimate value and it should be the aim of the college authorities to rejcie them if possible from the plane of the professional athletic exhibition, where quibbling and money-making are the most prominent features, and place them where they will serve a useful purpose in the allaround development of college young men and women. The announcement of the visible supply of wheat at the end of February almost created a panic on the Chicago board of trade. Expert had predicted an increase. The former week showed the surp^sing decrease of 1,- 345,000 bushels, with an increase of 864,000 bushels on ocean passage. May wheat jumped from $1.02% to $1.05% and July from 88*4c to 90%c. The opinion is growing that there is an understanding between Leiter and Armour, and that while the latter prett& ds to be a "bear" he is really a bull, a&d is buying wheat in anticipation of price of not less than $1.50. Students of the wheat market are influenced by some rather startling statistics from the northwestern grain markets. Two years ago that district bad on hand 24,000,000 of contract wheat. A year ago there was 13,000,- 000. Today there is less than 5,000,000, of which but 1,000,000 is contract wheat It is stated that there is not enough wheat in sight to supply the mills and meet the demand for seed. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the most of this wheat Is owned by Leiter with Armour bidding for what little comes Into the market. The prospects are for fancy prices before the new c*op 4s har- From the Text, Act* VII, Versea 08 to 60 M Follow*: "Behold I «we the Heaven* Opened," Etc,—Boine Setuouable Advice. Stephen had been preaching a rous ing sermon, and the people ciuld not stand it. They resolved to do as men sometimes would like to do in this day, if they dared, witiv some plain preacher of righteousness—kill him. The only way to silence this man was to knock the breath out of him. So they rushed Stephen out of the catos of the city, and with curse, and whoop, and bellow they brought him. to the cliff, as was the custom when they wanted to take away Iifo by stoning. Having brought him to the edge of the cliff, they pushed him oit. After he had fallen they came and looked down, -and seeing that he was not yet dead, they began to drop stones upon him, stone after stone. Amid this horrible rain of missiles, Stephen clambers up on his knees and folds his hands, while the blood drips from his temples to his oaeeks, from bia cheeks to his garments, from his garments to the ground; and then, looking up, he makes two prayers—one for himself and one for his murderers. "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;" that was for himself. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge;" that was for his assallanttf. Then, from pain and loss of blood, he swooned away and fell asleep^ I want to show you today five pictures. Stephen gazing into heaven. stoned. Stephen in his dying prayer. Stephen asleep. First, look at Stephen gazing into heaven. Before you take the lean you want 'to lenow where you are going to land. Before you climb a ladder you want to know to what point the ladder reaches. And it was right that Stephen, within a few moments of heaven,, should be gazing into it. We would all do well to be found in the same posture. There is enough in heaven to keep us gazing. A man of large wealth may have statuary in the hall, and paintings in the sitting-room, and works of art in all parts of the house, but he has the chief pictures in the art gallery, and there hour after hour you walk with catalogue and glass and ever-increasing admiration. Well, heaven is the gallery where God has gathered the chief treasures of his realm. The whole universe is his palace. In this lower room where we v' ' " • a •••' stop there are many adornments; tessellated floor of amethyst,' and on the winding cloud-stairs are stretched out canvases on which commingle azure, and, purple, and saffron, and gold. But heaven is the gallery in which the chief glories are gathered. There are the brightest robes. ^^Fhere are the richest crowns. There are the highest exhilarations. John says of it: "The kings of the earth shall bring their honor and glory into it." And I se* the procession forming, and in the line come all empires, and the stars spring up into an arch for the hosts to march under. The hosts keep step to the sound of earthquake and the pitch of avalanche from the mountains, and the flag they bear is the flame of a consuming world, and all heaven turns out with harps and trumpets and myriad- voiced acclamation of angelic dominion to welcome them in, and so the kings of the earth bring their honor and glory into it. Do you wonder that good people often stand, like Stephen, looking into heaven? Wo have many friends there. There is not a man in this house today so isolated in life but there is some one in heaven with whom he once shook hands. As a man gets olded, the number of his celestial acquaintances very rapidly multiplies. We have not had one glimpse of them since the night we kissed them goodby, and they went away; but still we stand gazing at heaven. As when some of our friends go across the sea. we stand on the dock, or on the steamtug, and watch them, and after awhile the hulk of the vessei disappears, and then there is only a patch of sail on the sky, and soon that is gone, and they are all out of sight, and yet we stand looking in the same direction; so if, amid the myriad delights they have, they care as much for you as they used to when the gave you a helping hand and put their shoulder under your burdens. You wonder if they look any older; and sometimes in the evenlngtide, when tUe house is all quiet, you wonder if you should call them by their first name if they would not answer; and perhaps sometime you do make the experiment, and when no one but God and yourself are there -you distinctly call their names and listen, and sit gazing into heaven. Pass on now, and see Stephen looking upon Christ. My text says he saw the Son of Man at the right hand of God. Just how Christ looked in this world, just how he looks in heaven, we cannot say. A writer in the time of Christ says, describing the Saviour's personal appearance, that he had blue eyes and light complexion, and a very graceful structure; but I suppose it was all guess work. The painters of the different ages have tried to imagine the features cf Christ and put them upon canvas ;but we will have to wait until with our own eyes we see him and with our own ears we can hear him. And yet there is a way of seeing and hearing him now. I have to tell you that unless you see and hear Christ on earth, you will never see and hear him in heaven. Look! There he is. Behold the Lamb of God. Can you not see him? Then pray to God to take the scales off your eyes. Look that way—try to look that way. HIB voice comes down to you this day—comes down to the blindest, to the deafest soul, saying: "Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved, for I am God, and there is none else." Proclamation of universal • emancipation for all slaves. Proclamation of universal amnesty for all rebels. Belbles to his table; George I. entertained the lords of England at a banquet; Napoleon III. welcomed the Czar of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey to his feast; the Emperor of Germany was glad to have our minister, George Bancroft, sit down with him at his table; but tell me, ye who know most of the world's history, what other king ever asked the abandoned and the forlorn and the wretched and the outcast to come and sit beside him? On the day of his death. Stephen spoke before a "few people in the Sanhedrim'; now he addresses all Christo.idom. Paul the Apostle stood on Mars Hill addressing a handful of 4>hiluBOphers who knew noi »o much about science as a modern school ^irl. To-day he talks to all the millions of Christendom about the wonders of jujtilication and the1 glories of resurrection. John Wesley s>nd howled down by the mob to whom ho preached, and they threw the future world we keep looking down through the Narrows, and gazing and gazing, as though we expected that they would come out and stand on some cloud, and give us one glimpse of their blissful and transfigured faces. While you long to join their companionship, and the years and the days go with such tedium that they break your heart, and the viper of pain and sorrow and bereavement keeps gnawing at your vitals, you stani still,\]|kr Stephen, gazing into heaven. You wonder if they have changed since you saw them last. You wonder if they would recognize your face now,- so changed has it been with trouble. You bricks at him. and they him, and they jcstletl hi'.a, and they spat upon him, and yet to-day, in all lands, he is admitted to be tho great father of Methodism. Booth's bullet vaeated the Presidential chair;, but from that sp^t of coagulated blood on the floor in the box of Ford's Thoater there sprang up the new life of a naion. Stephen stoned, but Stephen alive. Pass on now and see Stephen in his dying prayer. His first thought was not. how the stones hurt his head, nor what would became of Us body. His first thought was about his spirit. "Lord Jceus, re. eive my spirit." The murderer stand.ng on the trap do.>r, the black cap being drawn over his i:ead before the execution, may < rhnace about the future, but you ;.nd I have no shame in confessing to some anxiety about where we are going to come out. You are not all body. There is within you a soul. 1 see it £leam from your eyes, and I see it invidiat.np your countenance. Scmeiimrs I am abashed before an auiienee, not because I come under their physical eyesight, but because I realize the truth that I stand before so many immortal spirits. The probability is that your body will at last find a sepulchre in some of the cemeteries that surround your town or city. There is no doubt but that your obsequies will be decent and respectful, and you wi'.l be able to pillow your head under the mapla, or the Norway spruce, or the cypress, or the blossoming fir; but this spirit about which Stephen prayed, what direction will tha: take? Wh.it ^uirte will escort it? What gate will open to receive it? What cloud will be cleft for its pathway? After it has got beyond the light of our sun, will there be torches lighted for it the rest of the way? Will the soul have to travel through^ long deserts before it reaches the good land ? Tf we shouTcTlose "our pathway, will there be a castle at whose gate we may ask the way to the city? Oh, this .mysterious spirit nit fain us! It has two wings, but it is in a cage now. It is locked fast to keep it; but let the door of this caj?e open the least, and that soul is off. Eagle's wing could i:ot catch \i. The lightnings are not swift enough to take up with it. When the sou! leaves the body it takes fifty worlds at a bound. And have I no nnx'eiy about It? Have you no anxiety about; it? I do not care what you do with my body when my soul is gone, or whether you believe in cremation or inhumation, X sh^ll sleep just as well in a wrapping of sackcloth as In «saUn with eagle's down. But my soul—before this day passes, I will find out where it will land. Thank God for the intimation o% my text, that when we die Jesus takes us. That answers all questions for me. What though there were massive bars between here and the city of light, Jesus could remove them. What though there were great Saharas of darkness, Jesus could illume them. What though I get weary on the way, Christ could lift me on his omnipotent shoulder. What though there were chafing «*, cross, his hand could transport me. Then let Stephen's prayer be my dying litany: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." It may be In that hour we will be too feeble to say a long prayer. It may be in that hour we will not be able to say the "Lord's Prayer," for it has seven petitions. Perhaps we may be too feeble even, to say the infant prayer our mothers taught us, which John Qulucy Adams, seventy years oE age, said every night when he put his head uuon his pillow: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. We may be too feeble to employ either of thesa familiar forms; but th.8 prayer of Stephen is so short, is so concise, is so earnest, ie so comprehensive, we surely will be able to say that: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Oh, if that prayer is answered, how sweet it will be to die! This world is clever enough to us. Perhaps it has treated us a great deal better than we deserve to be treated; but if on the dying pillow there should break the light of that better world, we shall have no more regret about leaving a small, dark, damp house for one large, beautiful and capacious. That dying minister in Philadelphia, some years ago, beautifu.ly depicted it, when in the last moment, he threw up his hands and cried out: "I-move into the-HgbHL1 ••- Pass on now and I will show you one more picture, and that is Stephen asleep. With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to the Scriptures, the text says of Stephen: "He fell asleep." "Oh," you say, "what a place that w.:s to sleep! A hard rock under him, stones falling down upon him, the blood streaming, the mob howling. What a place it was to sleep!" And yet my text takes that symbol of slumber to describe his departure, so sweet was it, so contented was It, so peaceful was i t Stephen had lived a very laborious life. His chief work had been to care for the poor. How many loaves of bread he distributed, how many bare feet he had sandaled, how many cots of sickncs3 and distress he blessed with ministries of kindness and love^ 1 do not know; but from the way he lived, and the way.he preached, and the way he died, I know he was a laborious Christian-.- Rut_tha{ _JB *\] Ov«»r n o w He has pressed the cup to the last fainting lip. He has taken the last insult from his enemies. The last stone to whose crushing weight lie is susceptible has been hurled. Stephen Is dead! The disciples come. They take him up. They wash away the blood from the wounds. They straighten out the bru Red limbs. They brush back tho tangled hair from the brow, and then they pass around to look upon the calm countenance of h;m who had lived Cor the poor and died for the truth. Stephen asleep! I have not the faculty to tell the weather. I can never tell by the setting sun whether there will be a drought or not. I cannot tell by the blowing of the wind whether it wiil l:e fair weather or foul on the morrow. But I can prophesy, and I will prophe sy what weather it will be when yon. the Christian, come to die. You may have it very rough now. It may be this week one annoyance, the next another annoyance. It may be this vear one bereavement, the next another bereavement. Tefore this year has passed you may have to beg for br^ad, or ask for a, scuttle of coal or a p a r of shoes; but at the last Christ will come in and darkness will go out. And though there may be no hand to elose vnur eyes, and no breast on which to rest your dying head, and no candle to lift the night, the odors of God's hanging garden will regale your soul, and at your bedside will halt the chariots of the King. No more rents to pay, no more agony because flour has gone up no more struggle with "the world, the flesh, and the devil"; but peace—long, deep, everlasting peace. Stephen asleep! Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Uninjured by theJaafc of foes. Asleep In Jesus, far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may\be; But there is still a blessed slt*j3, From which none ever wake to weep. You have seen enough for one morning. No one can eu cts3fuKy exam ne more than five pictures in a day. Therefore we atop, having seen this cluster of Divine Raphaels—Stephen gazing into heaven; Stephen looking at Christ; Stephen stoned; Stephen in his dying prayer; Steplfen asleep. A WORD OF ADVICE. To Tboie Coming to Alattkt* or the Klondike Gold Field*. One thing should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader coming to Alanka, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the necesity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured in the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further onr this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner \n which the miner has observed or neglected this precaution more than upon any other one thing. will his success or failure depend. Theso Bupplies must be healthful and fthrmid be oonfontrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of ioods that will keep unimpaired indefinitely under all' tho condition which they will hava, to encounter la imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay,for.— From the Alaska Mining Journal A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery, which is specially valuable for use upon the trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal Baking Powder company^ of -NftaL_York^_JTJhe_re-^ ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the methods are carefully explained, so that the inexperienced may, with its aid, readily prepare everything requisite for a good, wholesome meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary materials. The matter is In compact though durable form, the whole book weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement, this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it. We would recommend that every one going to the Klondike procure a copy. Address the Royal Bak ing Powder Co., New York. MINSTRELS' HUMOR. Witty Annwer of an Irishman Win "Never Argued with a Lady." The minstrels of Ireland are not all gone from the highways and byways of Erin, says an exchange. The mournful harp and plaintive pipe may have given way to the breezy banjo and What a difference there is between what we are and what we want others to / crooning violin, but the songs .which these accompany are the songs of Ireland still. Down by the rotten Claddagh wharves of old Galway town I came upon a rapt audience, says a well-known traveler, enthralled bv the dulcet notes of Tim Biennan, the "wandering minstrel of Tipperary"—one of the sweetest singers I ever heard and one who would have been great were It not for his love of "the cinder in it," as they aptly term the west of Ireland mountain dew. I had s^en Tim many times before in Ireland. Our trampings had brought us Into tht1 same relations of artist and responsive auditor to many times that as he tipped me n comforting wink of recognition I noticed that his violin had been replaced by the temporary, though ample musical makeshift of a banjo wrought from the head of an aneienf Irish churn. In the pause following his ballad I felt emboldened to toss him back his wink, with the query: "And, Tim, why didn't you bring the churn with its head?" "Faith yer honor," he replied, in a flash and with a winsome smile, holding the elmrnhead banjo aloft so all could see, "faith I never argue wid a lady—an', yer honor, a bould Irish woman stud at the other ind!" +f N.

In the Sui ate protests were made against ihe seating of Senators Covell and Preston, because they are nonr federal officeholders und against Senator Hughes, because he has moved out of his district. The protests were referred to a committee Of five. Sergeant-at-Arms Armstrong tendered his resignation, and First Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Mose Parshelaky, of Detroit, was promoted to nil the vacancy. Three stenographers, representing the governor, were granted space on the floor of the Senate during the session. The two Houses met In joint session and heard the reaOtng of the governor's message with close attention. Gov. Pingree's message to the joint session of the etate legislature assembled in extra session flret quotes his proclamation calling for the extra session, and then continues, in substance, as follows: You are called Upon to consider the question of taxing railroad companies, express companies, telephone companies and telegraph companies, and tor no other purpose, i deem the occasion an extrrd_lria.ry __one. _ The tneaualiLy.at Bj»tBai of laxition Ta so great tbat.it should not toe permitted to continue for another year. 1 have therefore called you together in extraordU nary seesKm to consider tt and to provide proper remedies. I regret the inconvenience und expense or such a session. I have called it because I deemed it the most practical way of obtaining reforms to wlilch the people ef the state arc entitled. When convened in extra session the legislature la enubleti to give the subjects sub- ^flitted careful and deliberate consideration which cannot be expected at a general seEslon. No one cuti read the constitution of Michigan Without coming to the conclusion that its frum- «r» intended that all taxes to be levied should bo based upon the cash value of tlie properly. While tt permits the legielature to provide for the collection of specific taxes under the laws as they then existed, and even to collect specific t*xes from ut>rj>orations theruafter to be organized, it expressly requires that all assessments thereafter authorlze<l snail be upon i>rop<jrty at its va'.ue. Thla provision of the cotwtltutlon applies as well to specific und U> general taxes. It* continued violation since 1«71 has led to many evils. At the time the constitution waa adopted specific taxt'B, except upon valuay, were unknown to the legislation of the »tat»- Taxes are defined to be burdens-or c^tfea Imposed by the legislative iwwcr upon persons or property to raise money for public purposes. The power to tax roeti upon necessity and la Inherent In every sovereignty. No constitutional government can exist without it, and no arbitrary government, without regular and steady taxation, could be anything but an oppressive and vexatious despotism, since the only alternative of taxation would be forced extortion for tbe needs of government from such persona or a»> the taxes which should be t>ald by all tax payer*, as it did ttx the u x e s to be paid-l>y the nartered rallrottd coin,»Miles. tln-re would have been no way to provide for the increase of tax which has since oorurred. Under the special charters specific taxis we-re placed in 1S4U at thjve quarter* of 1 per cent Upon the capital «took paid In, and sUcli moneys as were realised froni loans used In the construelion of railroad*. This rat* of taxation was made to commence in 1S.M. H will w noticed wliiie this rate wan rixed an a »]xv'.llr tax tt vvu.s llxed u\>on th* value of tue i>iv|*»rty und not up*>n e-arninss. At that time we hail no great university, no asylums worth si>t-itkiiiK of, no s-oKiiers' home, no normal aohiH)!, no agricultural college, no MhouW for the deaf and blind, no industrial homes, no mining sriionl, no grfat prisons, no oxi-enslve mi:itU, Ht»l com paratlTely Inexpensive tsiiuol |,out>e». Th.s wax at a time, too, when tho pollution alons the line of these roads wa.s very muoli U * than at present. Indeed, tue t-ntlre poiiulatUui of,the state was not at that time as great as thi> present population of the city or Detrot: Tin* com mere*) of the state was oomimrikUvi-ly und»«Vfloped. The Intervening period ha« het\\ one of wonderful development In this «UW. At every l e s i o n of the legislature the peopl* have 1<; en called upon to innke extriuidinaiv appmnru tiona for building up atuU> tiifrtitutlims. The period Includes the years of the war between 1S01 and 1865, during wlik'h the buidtna upon the tux]Mi>'ers were grt-aUy tiu-ienst'il and enormous sacrifices had to bo jn:i«le. Durinji ihls period the percentage of t;ix*'s *<( tho tu-dinary taxpayer increased with Rnvtt rai i.Uty. In is."i,">, when the Hrst Republican leg^lutim* oonvem'il, ihe rate of taxation for state piirpufe* wjis lms than one-thlnl of a mill on ihi- dollar und about six cents per capita. In l.vi.\ at thi> end of the war, the taxes for stute pur]>oii8i» we re lesn than four mills on tue >loi)ar and'only f>7 cents per i-apltK, In 1SU6 oyr U A M lor state puriiowsjimj Increased to $1 34 peri-apitlT fAuuItjr-(1 oneraTs reptirt for lS'M, pagts :,0» and IU0.) During ttie same period the proportion °f taxes paid by the railroad oompunus tiooii-ast-d. In IS.VI the railroads paid 7:2 per cent of all the taxes levcd tor state pursues. In IMCi the peKviuuse had dropped to HI 7-10 r*r cent. This, peiventane refers to state taxes xlone. The otlier taxpayers of the .slate were cjilltHl ui>on to meet a similar Increase in taxes for lixal purports, from which the railroad companiea In li«2 state Uave bwn entirely free, The liistory of railroad taxation In this stuU' Is very interesting. Under the special charttr* of IS48 the roads were required to pay, after l.S."il, un annuat tux of three-quarters of 1 per cent upon their capital Htock paid In anil upon all loans made by the omipany for tlu» pursxise of construction, t'pen this basis tlte tuxes upon railroads in 1SW would have been $2.^57.^—1 (il instead of $741,41)8 77. In 1S55 the general railroad law was passed by tbe lir>t Hepublicun legislature of the state of Michigan. It placed the, taxes of railroad cumpunlen orsanized under It a.t 1 per cent upon the capital stock paid in. %rrder this act, If it hail Iwen lfft undisturbed and applied to all railroads, the state would h.ive received In 1SU5 ^I.OIO.IWI 4 \ ins lead of $741.- OW 77. In l.NtiO the act was HIITI tied so as to require the companies to pay. in addition to tbe above, 1 per cent ujxm sill moneys realized from loans, mulclpal aid and other sources used in the construction of the n>ads. Every change In the iysliim_of-iaxaUtin-fr<»m ISCO to tUB-iie**nt-tlmc, with the exception of the act pacse.l in 1N'.)T. lias resulted in decrvaslng the JkCitportlon of taxes paid by the rjillroau>r-~Tn the meantime the b d f i th l r d ^iown he men in power might se in e l a s | the companies the land (Cootey on constitutional limitations, Riven to the state by th>? page 470.) 'ihe governor then quotes Chief Justice Marshall on this point, and then continues. The first essential of just taxation i» that it Bhall be equal. To exempt one person from taxation la to rob another. To provide a low rate for one and a high rate for another is despotic. In my message of January 6, 184*7, I called your attention to this subject and suggested that a te^rd should be appointed which should deter- Ine the exact value of all corporate property pot now taxed locally, and levy taxes thereon in the same proportion as private property now bears. In my message of May 6, 1807, I again called your attention to the subject and expressed the hope that you might devise some means of equalizing, in a measure at least, the burdenB of taxation. At your last session an act was passed increas- 1 Ing to some -rxtent the taxes now levied upon the earnings of railroad compares. It was asserted that this act would bring *nto the treasury between two and three hundred thousand. dollars. No taxes have yet been collected under It but from the most reliable estimates that can now be made It will yield only aboot one hundred thousand dollars. The Michigan Central and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern companies, tb<. two most wealthy and powerful companies in the state, claim that the bill does not apply to them. They assert that they are protected from It by tlu-,r Fpei'iu! charter*. It U more than likely that the act will lead to serious and prolonged litigation. If the contention of the companies fihoulrl be sustained the result will be that as between the railroads themselves the additional taxes proposed by the act of the latt session will fall u;>on the companies least able to bear It. The system of taxing1 earnings in wrong in principle and unsatisfactory In- results, and places the suite absolutely at the mercy of the railroad company. It is compelled to take SUJII reports as are made to it. The privilege of examining the books of the company in a useless «ne. The work would be almost endlees, and even if well done, uncertain in It* results. I d; not wish to charge fraud uj>on any of the companies doing business in this state. What I inaiat upon is that the state should never be at the mercy of any taxpayer, and that a system >>o open to frauds should Lever have been adopted, end having been adopted, should be abandoned at the earliest possible moment for one under which tlie <v trnslble property of the company can be fairly and honestly taxed. Railroad comi^nies In this stati; are not bear- Ing 4.heir juat proportion of taxes. For the purpose of Illustration I desire to call your attention to the official figures of l.sno. which arc not materially different from those of the present year, and which, having been uctcr] uixjn, are more certuln for th? purpose of computation. The entire value of the asses^eiJ prosx-rty of the atate In 18fi5. n» equalized by the boards' of supervisor*, was $slH,pS(S,lHO. The voard or review. act- Ing under section 1231) of Howell's statutes, flx^t the average rate of taxes for utate. county an:! municipal purposes, at .028. The total cost of railroad property in the state, HS returned by the companies and verified by the affidavits or their otlicrrs tor the same year, wan $301.(XC- 14K 44. If the companies had been assessed upos. thU Bworn valuation their taxes for that year, at the average rate, would have amounted to t8.428.0S* 15. The laxea which they paid were 9741,409 7T. Their tax amounted to a little less than one-quarter of 1 per cent upon their own •worn valuation. It was leas than one-eleventu <tt the percentage paid by other taxpayers of the state. The average rate of taxation, as fixed by <he board of review for the year 1897, is reported to tne as 3 per cent. The taxes to be paid by •he railroads do not materially differ from those iollectad in 1805. We are confronted with this situation: Tue ordinary taxpayer* of the state are bearing an annual burden of 3 per cent upon the value of their property. The railroad companies are pay- U« leas tbaa- oas-Quartor of 1 per cent upon their properties and less than one-eleventh of the proportion borne by others. One set of taxpayers are bearing an excessive share of the pubtie burdens. Another set of taxpayers ace altndrt exempted from any share. - Toe system of specific taxes, when applied to #nly a part of fhe property of tl » state, caiu:ot tot oootlnued for any great length of time wlth- «wt producing great Injustice. It -rill be readily rt that if all the property of the state were to taxed specifically and at a fixed rate deter- Mfaed upon, in advanoe, it would be impossible 4p meet any of the emergencies which from time C tlo» aria*. I t for instance, in 1846, the leg- IsHIHii had flx*4 three-<iaarter» of 1 per pent burden of taxation on others, as already hus enormously Increased. The system'of a tax on earnlr.pt was net adopted until 1.H71. At that time the railroad companies were paying nearly'33 per cent of the whole tax. not Including taxes for municipal purposes. The effect of the leelslatlon was to decrease the percentage paid by railroads In two years to lep« than IN per rent. Kven the elnuiRc made in the M;ch!san Central charter in l*W, by which the people were ltnl 10 tic '.eve tli.u I.it- Michigan Central Kallnad Co., In o m l n g unflev the general law as to taxation, had uimle a concession favorable to utlier taxpayt'is, has ojiented to decrease the burdens of that company. The report of thn Michigan Central Railroad Co., foimd In the railroad commissioner':-1 report for 1 StMi at page ;ti"il, shows the COM of tiir '2'2\ miles of that roail in Michigan to be $2.">.4H'J,» 63'Z 13.

Tlie taxes paid by t,\e ompnny in lfciitfi. under the new act. were Sli.yilSOl, making the state a loser by the change u' 43.4M 73. This Is the lofs for u single ye.u . The repeal of the charter was mode to rnvir he taxes of 1SW2. so that the xttn • has alrf-auy ost by the change made In ISi'H more thmi l^oo.ooo. While the*«t> reductions were being made in lu" taxes paid by the railroads they wore receiving launense favors from the state. In 1S."><1 the general government gave to the state, to aid In Iri>- construction of railroads, six sections of land for every mile of railroad that should be built. The state legislature pawed acts to aid the constriation of numerous railroads and »nrn»ii over r wotild afford no excuse for taxing railroad property at a iower rate than that which ia paid by the owners of othi-r propn'ty, We uave no right to tax the people at Urge for the benefit of those who ship freight or ride upon railroads. This kind of nit argument may be made By auyoo* who wtinte a special privilege for hluufc'Jf. The suggestion lias be»>n induBtr.ouhiy circuluted that MU'IIIKUII etijoyw unusually low railwad ratis.

The rules of uonesty twjulre that every n.an should puy lr:i share of the tuxes, and that every dollar's worth of property of every kind should bear u s equul pn>- Iiortlon. The governor mentions a number of uillroads north of the 44th parallel of lutltildc which pay no taxes, liav'e. been exen pted in 1MU for a period of 10 years. The sworn rejvorts of these companies show that they ure valued at more thun $ IS, 00O.000. They are used as feeders to other systemB, wme of which puy as high as 7 per cent in dividends. On what principle can these railroad* be exempted from taxation? Our constitution i>rovluts: "The legislature shall provide an uniform ru'e of taxation, except on pmiH'rty iwiylng specific taxes." (.Article Xl\'., section l l . ) How can we cult that i.n uniform rule of taxation which exempts some property entirely from taxation and shifts the taxes which it should puy to other property? It Is mere robbery under tr.e name of legislation. The governor rountis up the railroad taxation question by showing that, although tlio rallitunta receive a irreat benefit from the various ~rrrrproprtaTld?w nTaile fof^sTSTe lnsiTliilions, yet iey pay the smallest proportion ot tho taxes iim which these appropriations are paid. In my message of Muy ti, l.S!»7. I called your attention to llm opetutlon of the present Ivws with refrrciii-e to express companies, and pointed out to yovi that under the laws as they then existed we collected from express companies In the state, an 1 per oent on gross earnings, in 18'.I5, $'2 74^ ,'{4. and In ls:iti, Sli.MW M. In the nc'Kliborins state of Indiati.a the property of these companies was assessed In IMC) for $l,&'tO,u7tl. Indiana had at lhat tluu1 I.tttti less inlles of railroad than Michigan.

In tbe nelKhbiii in>; ^tate of Ohio express companies aiv trade to yield even a laiger reven.ie than in Indiana. The system under wnti-h they aic taxed in Indiana and Ohio has been pronounced fair and jusri by the Supreme Court of the l'n!t»d States, und I earnestly recommend the ndnptlon of ihe sann»- system in this state, Telephone companies are taxed at the averajt^ rate paid by other taxpayers in the stat^1.

Said board muy Inspect ull the property belonniiiif tu nal«l companies, for the puri>o!V of urrivlng ut ilit? true c.ish vulue tlitreuf, lor tht» rf general government, and also exempted the laud from taxation for seven years In th* lower peninsula and ten years in the' upptr peninsula. The acts making these grants required the com- | panles to pay a specific annual tax of 1 per rent upon the cost of the road and Its equipment and pave the legislature power to levy a further tax after ten years of 2 per cent on the gr>>.^ earnings of the roads. T'nder thla act the stati should be now receiving? from the companies aided, at least three millions of dollars every year, besides the '2 per cent on earnings, Th.- value of the lands thug given away Is almost beyond computation. They were covered with magnificent forests of pine and hardwood and be- j ueath the surface there war untold mineral wealth. Alternate sections were given to ihe companies and the others sold to actual settler.*. Kvery acre cleared by ihe pionter and every road built by him to enable lilni to reach a market with his products, enhanced the valiVj of the railroad land, The settlers were not only required to build roa.is through their own lections, but through the railroads' sections, ,i fact which added materially to the burden? of the home-builders. Their children were compelled, in many casea, to cross these unimproved sections for the purpose of reaching th^ prhools. The railroads were put in a. position wherp they got the advantage of a development which cost them nothing. Tills contract on the part of the railroad eonipanies to pay 1 per cent on the cost of the roads has been violated from tho tirnt, sn that the state has never realized anything substantial from it. In most Instances the land grants made to the companies have been separated from the ownership of the railroads and treated as profits by the promoters. In this way the Ftate has bet n left to deal with crippled am1 Impoverished corporations, while the generous gifts to aid lht:;n have passed into other hands. The lands ther.ieolves have In many cases been stripped of their timber during the period of their exemption from taxation and have returned to the state In a worthless condition for the non-payment of subsequent taxes. In addition to the lands given by the general government to the state to aid in building railroads, immense tracts were given to nld in draining and reclaiming the low lands of thf: state. As to these lands the state was simply a. trustee. •The trust should have be*rt regarded .is «ncr»-d. The governor cites twveral instance* whore the legislature has Riven away large tracts of th^ lands to the railroads ar.d showing that roads have never fulfilled their part of thv contract* to drain the lands, etc., and have evaded taxrs on them In nearly ev^ry instance. The governor then aayB: These are only samples of many to be found in our statute books durinK that trf-rU*! of plunder and spoliation. They followed each other in raj-id succewlon until th>^ onerous gifts r.f the national «;overnmeiH to the Ktate had been absorbed by' tlio railroad companies and until th» lands in the hands of th.j railroad companies r t.ct>ni<- exempt inin all taxation. I'mUr what pretrnst: can the railroad companies ot thm state, after havtnp received thesp Rpnnrous gifts, Bsk to Its exer.ipted from thcif contract obliRationR? How can any honest man uow object to making tho companies thus richly endowed by the state pay 'it least their share of the pub'io burdens'i Thoy have already reatxM a KOM^U harvest from thes*- gifts. Tht-y have realised enormous sums from the salf of timber and its transportation to market, and from *al*> of mineral lands and the transportation nf ores. I am aware that it i» claimed by the railroad companies that their business is w> depr*»<«ri and Michigan affords nuoh a poor field for their •peratlons that they cannot afford to contribute -their share towards tti*> necessary ex»^nMes of the state. AB to this exruw. l can oniy repeat what I said In my mcssaKP of May 0, 1897: "I regard it as a slander upon the' <;ommonwealth to Ray that Michigan in not UH favorably Kltuated for railroad operations as any of her *lst.*r states. She has been considered unusually ricn in resources, and resource* of that character which make business for railroads. Michigan if first in the production of lumber; nr«t in the production of salt; nrnt in thp prod«ctir>n of copper; first in the production of iron; she is far above the average in the production of wheat, corn, potatoes, wool und fruit; xhe has an Industrious and thrifty population; she llos in the path of through commerce and certainly en- Joys her full share of it." I am aware, too, of the suggestion made by interested persons that railroads constitute a peculiar kind of property which should be treated differently from the other property of the state. It la sumested that If taxes are raised the rate* charged for carrying freight and passenger* mutt alto be raised. U this were the caae it 1NN», I S i l l . 0225 0215 026 .028 tion.

The diftlculty with these companies In that; many of them do an interstate business and lire incorporated under the laws* of other states. Their property in hljfhl In thin t-tate Is comparatively smn.ll. although their earnings are very great. The Ohio and Indian^ system as to express companies should be applied to thfin »> that taxes may be levied upon the proportionate amount of their capital used In this state. There Is hut one rule consistent with honesty and that is to place all the property of the state upon the name footing and to make every one pay his share and to ask no one to pay more than his share. No one should ask the railroads, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies to do more than they lnsls4 upon others doing. We should not be F«tlsft>d with less. We should bear In mind that we are only repn senlatlves, in pns^inp laws thut affect the interests of our unborn men an<l women who are to come after'us. Our c<>i s.tituentM have ;•. right to demand a substantial and bona fide effort to equalize taxes and to make every one pay his juat share. The taxes paid by railroad companies, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies und<T thf present system aro devoted to trio primary school fund. I respectfully recommend to you that the taxes to be collected under any act which you may puss be devoted to the sjune imrjiose, and b<- paid direct to the school districts of the state in proportion to the number tii school children. I recommend that you authorize the appointment of a stato board of five, to h*> nor partisan if the constitution perrolt«, which i>iinV Lo omiiowered to make ;.

A nortn Cnina paper says me quauiy of "nervelessness" distinguishes the Chinaman from the European. The Chl^«znan can write ail day, work all day, stand in one position ail day, weave, beat gold, carve ivory, do Infinitely tedious jobs (or ever and ever. ._and_dit-cover no more wearing* and irritation than if he were a machine. This quality appears in early life. There are no restless, naughty boys In China. They are all appallingly good and will plod away in school without recess or recreation of any kind. The Chinaman can do without exercise. Sport or play seems to him so much waste labor. He can sleep anywhere— amid rattling machinery, deafening uproar, squalling children and quarrefln^ adults. He can sleep on the ground, on the floor, on a bed, oa a chair, or in any notltkm. DOCTOR'S DIRECTIONS. They save a daughter from blindness. When • father write* that Tpnri " it the t o t medicine in the world," you eta allow #omethiog for seeminc extr»v». sance In the statement if you know that the medicine so praised, cured a loved daughter of disease and restored to her the eyesight nearlyicst. The best medicine in the world for you ia the medicine that cures you. There can't be anything better. No medicine can do more than cure. That is why John S. Goode, of Orriclt, Mo., writes in these t>tr*ng terms: " Dr. Ayer'i Sarsaparilla is the best medicine in the world. My daughter had a relapse after the measles, due to taking cold. She was nearly blind.and was obliged to remain in a dark room all the time. The doctors could give her no relief; one of them directed me to give her Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her completely." The thousands of testimonials to the value of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla repeat over and over again, in one form or another the expression: "The doctors gave fcer no relief; one of them directed me to give her Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Two Dottles completely cured her,'1 It is a common experience to try Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a last resort. It is a common experience to fanre Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physicisn. It ia a common experience to tee a " com* plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles of this great blood purifying medicine. Because, it is a specific for all forms of blood disease. If a disease has its origin in bad or impure blood, Dr. Ayer'a Bars* aparila, acting directly on the blood, re. moving its impurities and giving to it vitalising energy, will promptly eradicate the disease. The great feature of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa. rilla is the radical cures that result from its use. Many medicines only suppress disease —they push the pimples down under the skin, they paint the complexion with subtle arsenical compounds, but the disease rages in the veins like a pent-up fire, and some day breaks out in a vol. canic eruption that eats up the body. Ayer's Sarsaparil'.a goes to the root. It makes the^fountain clean and the waters are clean. It makes the root good and the fruit is good. It gives Nature the elements she needs to build up the broken down constitution—not to brace it up with stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

CHICAGO OFFICE, 1310 MASONIC TEMPLE. 1 Spain Will Probably Have to Fight or Back Down. PRESIDENfwiLLTAKE ACTION. Evidently Preparing to Demand a Big Indemnity for the Msvlne Dlstuitor and Also the Independence of Cubs—War Activity Continue* on Land and Sea. The weary weeks of waiting, in a state of nerve-trying patience, which has been the recent lot of patriotic Americans seems about to be rewarded by a definite move on the part of the administration to bring the Cuban situation to a head. The indications at Washington are that President McKinley has outlined a plan of action looking to intervention on behalf of the poor Cubans to bring them the independence for which they have so long suffered and fought. If the President needed any bracing before taking such a stand, he is assured of the support of congress. Intervention would naturally mean war, and it is. the only pretext yet apparent upon which we are likely to come to blows with Spain, and both nationsare preparing with furious haste for a possible conflict. Uncle Sam is a noisy, good-natured old fellow and slow to anger. When he is busily engaged in forging thunderbolts it is reasonably surmised that lightning may strike at any time. If a nation has the right to intervene in the affairs of a neighboring state and one of its colonies, in the name of humanity, the United States has such a justification in the present case. The United States is in undisputed supremacy on this side of the Atlantic and no European.power wouldgainanything but hard knocks by joining Spain against us. The Maine disaster is an incident by itself and it must be considered separately from the causes which seem to justify a forcible intervention to end* the war in Cuba. First, the.goverhmentof the United States mi^t establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the Maine was blown up by outside agencies. When that is proven the charge of hostility must be laid against the Spanish government. If Spain disavows the act and makes an attempt to discover; the guilty person or persons, the Maine incident is not a pretext for war, but it will justify a claim for damages. Spain would undoubtedly prefer to pay any reasonable indemnity rather than resort to a war which is sure to be disastrous in the end. Whether a demand for reparation will follow the report of the court of inquiry or not, the recognition of Cuban independence, or armed intervention, must be decided upot Congress and the people already aiv.* impatient with the delays of diplomatic negotiations. It is feared that too much time has been consumed in considering promises of reform, offers of enlarged autonomy and pledges looking to pacification. The complete retirement of Spain from Cuba and the recognition of the justice of our demands for indemnity after the report of the court of inquiry shall have disposed of the theory of accident would avert war in their judgement, but they have no idea that Spain will be tractable in either case. President McKinley has called in one of the ablest international lawyers in congress to aid him in preparing his messages on the Cuban situation, and on the Maine incident. The lawyer is Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. This unusual course on the part of the President was due to his desire to cover every possible point of international custom, and to avoid all chance of giving other nations a reason for protesting against American intervention. Senator Davis is recognized as one Si the foremost international lawyers in the country. It is safe to assert, therefore, that the briefs which he is preparing for. the President will make the President's position impregnable and one which he can hold against the world. After a month's investigation the causes responsible for the destruction of the American warship Maine in the harbor of Havana on the night of Tuesday. Feb. 15. the court of inquiry convened by Rear-Admiral Sicard to ascertain the facts, has finished its work.

By n quest, we print the following letter from a'former Pinckney boy: SKAGWAY, Feb. 18, 1898. Skayway is situated on a law level canyon or flat, is about onehalf mile wide by one and onelinlf long, aud is heavily timbered with eottonwood and birch spruce which looks like tamarack. They make lumber of it all, which sells for thirty and forty dollars per thousand green, and the people cannot get it fast enough. Buildings are going up very fast. Business lots are usually cut in two and sell from £1000 to $1500 apiece. Dwelling lots oOxlOO feet sell from 8150 to $800. Hay at present is scarce and is worth $60 per ton, but it varies in price all th# way from friGto- &7aper ton. Horses weighing from 1200 to 1400 pounds are worth from $150 to $300 apiece. Mustangs from $50 up. Wood £(> per cord. Groceries are as cheap as in Chico, including freight. Flour $3.50 per hundred; dried fruits 10c per pound; bayo beans 5c; pea beans 3c. so you see there ain't much chance for speculation. Yukon sleds are in good demand. Labor is plenty aud cheap. "Wages for common labor are $1.5(7 per day and board. Mechanics 14 per day and board themselves. Horst-shoers get 6-3 per horse and there are lots of that class here. We are situated on ""the main >ad and it is estimated that there (Mul of tho road, but an ox boufs them all; thoy haul ft lar^v load and you never can loose 0:1' tlieni;! a good ox is worth £!;"){) to s-JOO ( and if killed, his meat is worth l2f> cents per pound and if lie dirs his meat is worth HV per pouiu., for dog meat. Goats are wot good uj> here; the dogs bother them so one has to WH tch thorn all the time. Board up here is not high; meals are from '23c up and lots of eating houses. Liquors are all smuggled in but are sold openly for 25 cents per drink. Cigars the same. All kinds ofj gambling goes on, but all complain of hard times. I think a good scavenger wagon would do well here by the look of the dead horses; the only opposition would be the crows. The barber business is overdone. Prices are 25 cents for shaving, 50c for hair-cutting au.l shampooing and one is not bothered by asking the men to take off their collar to shave them; they take it oil' and shave themselves in this country. Xow perhaps you would like to know how we live in Alaska. When we arrived we found it im- ? to rent a house for less ( month, so ~wr? conto buy a house and lot. Wej got a lot on the main road 50x100' feet with a good log cabin 12x14! feet for 8150, about four blocks I fioui the post-office. In this we; all live and have a store and are doing quit a a business. There are about 5,000 inhabitants here. The houses are all made of logs or boards and canvass and tar paper, and are scat- j tered all through the woods. There are lots of men here without work or money. All kinds of business is represented and overdone. - I think I will start an ice house as we can make it in the house.

The Chilcoot trial is blocked with freight, and it will take one month to get over what is now on the trail. My advice to any one going to Dawson is to go by the White Pass; it is the best, cheapest and quickest. My reason is this: There is no wharf at Dyea1 and everything is landed at Skagaway, where there are three wharfs. Then your freight has| to be put on small lighters and | sent over to Dyea, aud it usually takes from four to six days to get them over and then you are required to have l()O0 pounds of provisions in order to pass the Custom House. If you haven't that amount you will be obliged to come back to Skagway and get it. They say: that there are 50,000 tons On the Dyea aud Chilcoot trial, and that the people there will take advantage of everything. Well, I suppose you want to know about the weather. It was 8th degrees above zero Feb. 16 and had not been below all winter but on the 18th, the thermometer fell to 10 degrees below zero find that is cold enpugh for me.

Some assert that the town is to be placed uud^r martial law, while others say that the soldiers are here merely to look after and protect the interests' of the United States government. The reports sent out as to tlie to the amount of sickness and number of deaths here, have been greatly exaggerated and you should not believe the terrible! tales of suffering and death that you read in papers. As a matter of fact, the deatli rate does not average one a day. For the past ten days the weather has been very cold but despite the cold, many people eat and live in tents and cook and' eat out of doors. On account of the high mountains around this place, we do not see the sun more than six hours during the day. C. H. FISH. FARMER'S!

Never come from high heels to low heels at one jump. Never wear a ehoe that presses up into the hollow of the foot Never wear a shoe that will not allow the great toe to lie In a straight Hne. Never wear leather sole linings to stand upon. White cotton drilling or lines is much better and more healthful. Never wear a shoe or boot that has depressions In any part of the sole to drop any joint or bearing below the level plane. Never wear a shoe that pinches the heel. Never wear a shoe or boot so large in the heel that the foot is not kept in place. Never wear a shoe with a sole narrower than the outline of the foot traced with a pencil close under the rounding edge. Never wear a shoe with a sole turning up very much at the toes, as this causes the cords on the upper part of the foot to contract. Never wear one pair of shoes all the time unless obliged to do BO. TWO pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately give more service and are much more healthful. Never think that the feet will grow large from wearing proper shoes. Pinching and distorting makes them grow not only large but unsightly. A proper, natural use of all the muscles makes them compact and attractive. Never wear a short stocking, or one which, after being washed, is not at least one-half inch longer than the foot. Bear in mind that stockings shrink. Be sure that they will allow your toes to spread out at the extreme ends, as this keeps the Joints In place and makes a strong and attractive foot. As to shape of stockings the single digital or "one-toe" stocking Is the best.

NEW THINGS. Fish cannot work themselves tfoose from a new hook after they take the bait, the barb and point of the hook being mounted on a pivot at the end of the curved portion to tilt outward and form a T-crossplece as the fish tries to get loose.

Insurance Commissioner Campbell has decided to prohibit the business of underwriting in Michigan, us a violation of the unti-eouipuet ami stukdajrd policy laws of the state. It ik not questioned that such underwriters' agencies and such policy contracts have the effect to prevent open and free competition between such companies at least, and with such concession, the socalled underwriters' or joint policy is clearly unauthorized and illegal in this state. Mr. Campbell says: 1 therefore find that such <tontracts are: 1. Misleading, and deceptive, (though possibly not so intended) .and against public policy. 2. Contrary to the standard policy law of the state; and 3, A violation of the anti-compact law. Companies employing such joint contracts are therefore respectfully notified that if their use is continued it will become my duty to revoke their certificates of authority to write insurance in this state., . » Confessed a Murder; Is now Getting* Well E. £r. Veeley, of Bloomingdale, was very ill and his doctor told him he could live but a few days at most. Then Mr. Veeley said: "I have a confession to make." The confession was as follows: "Thirty years ago myself and another man whose name I will not reveal, killed a man at Scott's mill, south of Hloomingdale, for his money. We got only 830 for our trouble and buried the money and have never used a cent of it. After that we took the body of the man and put it in the furnace of the mill and burned it up." ISoon after this Veeley began to recover and may now get well. • Murder and Robbery Xt-ar l'embine. Win, II. Soiners. aged ',".). an employe of Holmes & Son. was found in a pool of blood near the St. Paul road, at Pembine. A big club, covered with blood, lay three feet away.

But in order to get there it is necessary that a man should be possessed of the best of health, strong powers of endurance and considerable means. He leaves his wife and his family for a considerable period, and the hardships he has to endure are all unknown to him. Canada has other gold fields, though. They are •tie fields that, produce her golden grain. This year the crop of Manitoba, lying directly north of North Dakota, yielded 21,000,000 bushels of wheat alone. The current price averages 76 cents, which, as a local paper puts it, "makes the product in gold this year, for wheat alone, equal to a value of $15,960,000." Twenty thousand farmers did this, or an average to each pr<* tlucer of about $798. "But these same farmers are not living by wheat alone. This Is only one source of revenue to tfcfa out of many. They have also beef, batter, potatoes, oats, barley and poultry to sell, and sometimes otb«*r things, so that it may be fairly estimated that their [comes will average at least $1,000 per farmer. Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded this year fully $20,000,000 in gold, divided among 20,000 actual producers. and a general population of about 200,- 000." After counting the cost of stamp mills, expenses of men, etc., rit"* as is the Klondike, such vast wealth as is being taken out of the soil In raising wheat in this one province, cannot possibly be secured in any mining district. Of course mining development assists agricultural development, and that is why the Government of Canada feels so much assurance In predicting prosperity to aH who take up farms in Can- Ada. Western Canada today promises more than any other known field that is open to Immigration. Farms of 160 acres, capable of producing the best No. 1 hafrd wheat, yielding thirty to forty bushels to the acre, are given away fine. Railways, markets, gchool3. churches—all are convenient. The Canadian fdrm of government is one of the most liberal known, and a hearty welcome is given to settlers of all nationalities. Already there are many settlers gone in from the states, and the reports from them are highly favorable. Those desiring information as to free homestead laws, low transportation rates, etc., will have pamphlets, etc., sent free on application to the Departinent of the Interior.

It provides for three new battleships of 11,000 tons, to cost not exceeding .$'{.000,000 each, one to be named the Maine: six torpedo boat destroyers, one gunboat for the Great lakes to replace the Michigan, and five dry docks.

The commit tee ive.<>;nmended .«I,',().{too for thi>s work ajut the House increased h to JJNJO THE EXTRA SESSION, The protest* mpki&st the seating of Senator* Covell, Pre»ton and Hughes were referred to a special committee appointed by Lieut-Gov. Dustan, consisting of Senators liarnum, Merriman, Thompson, Hadsell and Loomis. It is announced that separate bills will be introduced before the ttiatlon question comes .to a vote to provide specifically for the taxation of railroad, express, telephone and telegraph companies. This will be done so aw to avoid the possibility of the measure being declared unconstitutional on the ground that the bill contained mutters not mentioned in the title. They will not differ from the governor's general scheme and will not be presented until the general proposition has been discussed und digested. In accordance with the law passed at the last session to'have bills printed instead of engrossed, Senator Westcott offered aa resolution creating the ottice of "proof reader." and abolishing that of "enrolling and engrossing clerk." The anti-Pingreeites introduced two measures in the House on the tuxation question, at the second day's session, which the Pingree followers declare were intended to delay action on the governor's bill. The first was introduced by Rep. Adams, of Kent, and provided for a broader taxation reform scheme to embrace all taxable property in the state. I t was defeated by a vote of 60 to 35 in the House, but the same resolution was adopted by the Senate. The fact that the House killed it makes the Senate action of no effect. Rep. Smith, of Houghton, introduced a bill in the House which i s ^ n exact copy of the Pingree bill with the exception of that section creating a board of assess* ors. Smith's bill would have the board comprised of the secretary of state, state treasurer, land commissioner. ati torney-general and auditor-general, who are elected by the people instead of the members being appointed by the governor. It was referred to the committees on railroads and taxation. Goy. Pingree sajrs that according to the state constitution the legislature cannot create elective state officers. Should a bill be passed bearing this feature it is probable that it would be vetoed by the governor as unconstitutional. The House had a scrimmage on the question of printing the proceedings of the House and the speeches of the members, but it wars finally voted to print them and C. II. Render, J. XV. Langley, .J. XV. Stoekwell and W. A. Brown, the four stenographers who responded to the call of the governor and volunteered to report the session verbatim free of charge to the state, were made the official stenographers of the House, and were sworn in. Petitions containing 59,:.'.*)() names asking for the passage of the .Pingree bill were presented to the House and referred to the*' committee having the bill in charge. '. On motion of Senator Moore of Wayne C'.as, H. Strawhecker of Grand Rapids, and Harvey A. Sherman, Gov. Pingree s stenographer, were appointed official stenographers, with one more to be named later. It was also voted to print all speeches in full in the legislative journal. Notwithstanding his first defeat Rep, Adams again introduced his resolution demanding that the governor send in a special message to cover all kinds of taxation. It was laid cm the table by a vote of f>7 to 31 and an attempt to take it from the table was lost—40 to 37. Rep. Foote introduced a bill to repeal the charter of the Michigan Central railroad. Rep. Remis offered one to increase the specific tax on railroads. Rep. Green went at it wholesale and introduced three bills, viz: To provide for local taxation of express companies, telephone companies, and telegraph companies. All of these tend to complicate the situation and are evidently intended to draw attention from Gov. Pingree's original bill. The Pingree leaders figured out that if the seats of Senators Covell, Preston and Hughes could be declared vacant writs of election could be issued and the governor hoped that three men of his opinions could be elected. However, the Senate refused to discharge rthe committees having under consideration the protests Ugainst seating the three Senators. The governor was upon the floor of the Senate and Senator Thompson took occasion tu score him for lobbying. The governor was not to be turned down, however, and he later issued a proclamation ordering an election April 4 in senatorial and representative districts where members of either house have died, removed or become I'nited States officers. Senator Preston's district comprises Lapeer anid Tuscola counties; CovelTs district/ comprises Antrim, lienzie, Charlevoix. Kalkaska, Leelanuu and Wex/ord counties. The representative districts where elections have been cabled are the second district of lierrlen county, where blepresontative Williams \\u.s become a postmaster; the first district of Maeomb, Representative Rowley httving died: second Lena- Wee district, Representative Edgar having removed from tin* state: the Lapeer district, formerly represented by Representative ' Lee. deceased. An tittempt was made to have Senator Hughes resign, but hy refused «nd njj actio,n can be taken as to his ease until the ^fenate disposes of it. SHOULD PE PREPARED.

"Ob, weeding and toddling about picking up atones and—and doing odd Jobs generally," answered David, who was beginning to get rather uncomfortable under the fire of her truthful eyes and the terrible directness of lier/ questions. "In fact, you have made Isaac underling, laborer, slavey to your grand new gardener, is that it?" she cried. "Oh, come now," he began, but Dorothy stood still in the road and confronted him angrily. "Is it so or not?" she asked. "Well, something like that," he admitted, unwillingly. "Is it absolutely so or not?" Dorothy asked again. "Well, I'm afraid it is," said David, with a great air of making a clean breast of the whole matter. "You see, Dorothy, the old fellow never was much of a hand at gardening " "He waa good enough for us," sighed Dorothy, in heart broken voice. "Yes; but indeed he really was past his work, or I should never have thought of displacing him. And if it hadn't been for you—that he was a good many years your gardener " "Nearly forty years," put in Dorothy. "Well, of course, if it hadn't been for that I should just have replaced him without troubling any further about him. As it was, I made a place for him, and I gave him ten shillings a week for what I could get better done by a boy for six." "And the cottage?" asked she. "Oh, well, of course, the cottage gees with the situation," answered David, who was getting rather sulky. There was a moment's silence; then Dorothy suddenly stopped and turned to face him. "David," she flashed out, "you may be a good farmer, but you are a hard man, a hard man. One of these days you'll come to be—but, there, what is the good of talking to you? If long and faithful service will not touch your heart, what else will?" "Tihere Is one thing which will always have power to touch my heart," he said, eagerly. "Shall I tell you what?" "No," said Dorothy, wearily. "I probably should not believe it. If forty Tears would not do it, nothing else could." As she spoke she turned down the street whioh led to Palace Mansions.

David, for <his part, took advantage of the quiet side street, and spoke out what was in his mind. "Dorothy," he said, "come back to the Hall, and I will show you whether I am a hard man or not; only come back and let us forget the past, nobody need know anything. I will never remind you of it. Only come back, my dear, and everything shall be as you wish—as you direct. I'll send the new gardener to Holroyd, and Isaac shall be head gardener at the Hall, with a couple of men under him to do the work. Does that sound like being hard, Dorothy?" a "Yes," said Dorothy, coldly—"hardest of all, because you would not hesitate to buy me, -body and soul, through my compassion and pity for those poor unfortunate ones, who can not help themselves, and can not fight against the hard power which your money and your strength give you." "Oh, Dorothy, it is not so," he cried. "I only ask you to come back because I love you and want you. Besides, I can not bear to see you as you look now—tired and worn, and ten years older than when you turned your back on all your old friends for the sake of a fellow who has brought you to this." "To ..what?" Dorothy cried, her «res opening wide, and her tones expressing such astonishment that David fairly quailed before her look. "To a ghost of your old self," he answered curtly. But it waa all of no use. Dorothy could be curt, too, on, occasions, and she was so then. ••It seems to me that you are making mistakes all rotted, David," she said, coldly. "I am not very well, and the heat has tired me—but I am not what you take me for. I have been, thank God for It, a blessedly happy wife for many months. I will wlsfc you good morning, David." She turned away without giving him tim* to aay a word, and went as quickljr at was possible toward her home, and went in without turning her head to see what had become of him. As for Davim Stevenson, he simply stood reotesl to tfce spot where she had left him, usttl ah* «uM>«»red from his rtft*t; tkta fee took a aUp or two M if to follow her, but changed his mind, and retraced his steps, with a face like a thunder cloud. He waH so occupied with his own thoughts and his own disappointment that he never noticed a smart victoria and pair which was drawn up just within the corner of the quiet street, but its occupant, an old, white-haired gentleman, had noticed him, and took keen stock of him as he passed. David Stevenson would have been considerably surprised if he could have heard the order which the same old gentleman gave his coachman just after he had swung past. "Follow that gentleman closely. Don't lose sight of him." "Yes, m' lord," said the servant, and hopped up onto the box, giving the order to the coachman. "All right," murmured that dignitary in reply, then added in a lower voice still, "What's the old codger up to now, I wonder?" "Uncommon pretty girl," answered Charles, in an equally low tone, "We've been after her some time." "Who is she?" "Mrs. 'Arris. Lives in Palace Mansions," with a wink. "H'm! I wishes her Joy of 'im," said the coachman, screwing <hls face up into a thousand Expressive wrinkles. "Me, too," said the footman, sniggering. "Hi, he's going into the Park," whereat the coachman turned bis horses in at Prince's Gate, also, and they drove in abreast of David Stevenson, who was looking no more at peace with the world or with himself than he had been when he turned into the High street, out of the quiet road ia which Palace Mansions may be found. "Still faithful to Master Dick, or else the new-comer not attractive enough/' thought Lord Aylmer, with t ;neer, as he gave a sharp, keen look ,*t the tall young man's lowering face. CHAPTER XXI. THINK that David Stevenson had never been In such a ^2 towering rage in his life as when he turned in at the Park gates and w e n t swinging along in the direction of the Achilles. For during those few moments when he watched her after she left him and before she disappeared into Palace Mansions, he had realized that she had gone from him forever. He realized that whether she was actually married or not, she was not for him, and he had suddenly become aware, almost without knowing why, that there was a cause for her altered looks —a cause which would be forever a bar to the fond hopes which he had cherished during nearly all his life, certainly ever since Dorothy as a wee, toddying, teoft-eyed child had come, fatherless and motherless, to be the light ?nd life of the old Hall and the very joy of Miss Dimsdale's lonely hearth. So that fellow had got round her, after all—his bitter thoughts ran, as he strode along—and all the worship and devotion of his life had been flung HAILED A CAB. aside as naught for the sake of a specious tongue and a swaggering, army sort of manner. As a matter of fact, Dick had not the very smallest shade of a swagger about him, but David Stevenson was the kind of man who invariably judges every man by a type, and to him an army man was a man who turned his toes out a good deal more than was necessary and said "Haw!" after every three words he spoke. That the man who had stolen Dorothy's love from him did neither of these things made no difference to David's conception of him. He had stolen Dorothy from him, and that was enough to make David cudow him in his own mind with all the most hateful attributes of his detestable class. Nor did he even stop to consider that he was distinctly unjust in crediting Harris with stealing Dorothy's love from him. For It Is impossible to steal from any man what that man had never had to lose, and most, emphatically he had never possessed one little tiny corner of Dorothy Strode's heart; to be plain, Dorothy had always detested him. For an hour or more David strode about the Park till the storm of fury which possessed him had somewhat calmed down, and always the smart victoria, with its pair of high stepping, fiery horses and Its pair of woodenfaced, imperturbable servants in their white and crimson liveries, dogged his steps and kept him fairly in sight; and at last David noticed them. "Damn that supercilious old brute," he muttered, as they passed him for the twentieth time; then he stood nt the rollings a minute or two and thought how slow it was—wondered how men and women could bear to crawl up and down in line, frettrng their fine horses into a fever and never getting beyond a foot's pace. He turned away from the row- into a side path, but the next moment he saw that the smart victoria had turned into that road also. "Confound him, he must be watching me," he thought, irritably, "and yet what should he want to watch me for? Oh, hang it, I'll go home!" Without a moment's hesitation he turned his steps toward Apsley House and made his way out at the big gates, where he hailed a cab and gave the man the address of his hotel, and forgot about the white-haired old gentleman in the smart victoria. But the victoria was there, nevertheless, following immediately behind the modest cab; and when David got out and went into the Grand Hotel, Lord Aylmer called to the footman: "Charles, I want you to take a message. Barker, stop." Barker pulled up the horses beside the broad pavement and Charles got down to hear his lord's orders. "Go into the Grand and find out that gentleman's name— don& mention mine." "Yes, m'lord," said Now, Charles ha genious youth who was not troubled with any nice scruples abont his honor, and believed that,/the easiest way was invariably^-tfie best way. He therefore, secure in the halo which his smart white and crimson livery was enough to cast around him, went into the hotel and addressed himself to the stately house porter of the establishment. "I say, porter," said he, "my master, the Dook of Middlesex, wants to know the name of a gentleman just come in —came in a 'ansom—tall, fairish chap, looks like a country gentleman." "D'year mean that one?" asked the house porter, taking Charles to a glass door leading to the reading room and pointing out David. WOMAN'S FATE. From the Record, Buthnell, ifl, Ko woman is better able to apeak to otk- •rsregarding "woman's*tote*r than Mrs. Jacob We«TUP, of BUfchnjU, 111, wife o f * * city marshal Weaver. She had entirely recovered from the illness which kept her bedfast much of the time lor five or six years past, and sayi her recovery is due to that well known remedy. Dr. Williams' l»ink Pills. 1 Mrs. Weaver is flfty-stx years old, and has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years. She is of unquestioned veracity and unblemished reputation. The story of her recovery is interesting. She says: " I suffered for five or six years with the trouble that comes to women at this time of my life. I was much weakened, waa unable much of the the time to do my own work, and suffered beyond my power to describe. I waa downhearted and melancholy. I " I took many different medicines, in fact I took medicine ail the time, bat notbing seemed to do mo any good. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and some of my friends recommended them highly. I made up my mind to try them. I bought the first DOX in March. 18fJ7, and was behefitted from the start. "A box and a half cared me completely, and I am now r u g g e d a n d strong. I have not been bothered with my troubles since „ „, 1 began taking the Mrs. Jacob Weaver. pilU. *' I have recommended the pills to many women who are suffering as I suffered.

They contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood. arles. d to be an inYes, that's the one," Charles answered. "Oh, yes; that's Mr. David Stevenson, of Holroyd," said the house porter. "And Where's Holroyd?" "A mile or two from Harwich," answered the other. "At least, I heard him say so last night. His post-town is Harwich." "Ah! yes—thanks. The Dook fancied he knoo him, but I fancy he was mistook. Good day to you, porter." "Good-day to you, my fine cockpheasant," returned the big house porter, contemptuously; but Charles had already reached the door and was going back, serene in the power of his own impudence, to Impart the information which he had gathered to his master. "The gentleman!* name is Stevenson, my lord," he said. "Mr. David -Stevenson, of Holroyd, Harwich." "Ah, yes," and then the old savage pulled out his notebook and jotted the name down without comment. "How did you find out?" "I said my master, the Dook of Middlesex, wished to know, as he fancied he knoo the gentleman," Charles answered, promptly. Lord Aylmer burst out laughing. "Ah! very clever—clever. Home." "Yes, m' lord." said-Charles. Lord Aylmer laughed more than once on the way home; he was so intensely amused at the inventive genius displayed by Charles, whom he had not before credited with much sharpness of that kind. He was a man who never took the trouble to make subterfuges to his servants; if he wanted a bit of information, he simply told one of them to get it. without caring what means were taken or giving any reason for wanting it. For instance, ae would never .say, "Go and find out who that gentleman is," and add, as ninety-nine people out of a hundred would do, "I think I know him"—no, he never troubled to do that; it was simply after the manner of the centurion, "Go and find out who that is?" (To be continued.) He—''You look sweet enough to kisa in that dress.'' She—"My dressmaker told me she didn't think I'd be disap-, pointed in it."

Maine Disaster in Cong OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE NAVAL BOARD OF INQUIRY TRANSMITTED. Accompanied by a Special Message by the Executive.—A Clear Case of Circumstantial Evidence Against Some Person or Persons in Sympathy With the Spanish Reign of Blood and Butchery in Cuba—The President Sticks Close to Absolute Facts and Makes no Recommendations.— Enjoins Careful Consideration.—Some ol the Direct Evidence. TK.t? PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The president on Monday sent the following message to congress: "To tho Congress of the United States: For some time prior to the visit of the Malno to Havana harbor our consular representatives pointed out the advantages to Uow from the visit of national ships to the Cuban waters, in accustoming the people to the presence of our Mag as the symbol of good will atid of our —~«*Ttps in'the fulfillment of the mission of protection to A f r i c a n Interests, even though no Immediate need therefor might exist." MAINE SENT TO HAVANA. "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 authortiee at Madrid and Havana were advised of the purpose of this government to resume friendly naval visits at Cuban ports and that in that view the Maine would forthwith call at the port of Havana. This announcement was received by the Spanish government with appreciation of the friendly character of the visit of the Maine and with notification of intention to return the courtesy by sending Spanish ships to the principal ports of the United States. Meanwhile the Maine entered 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 three weeks .following her arrival. No appreciable excitement attended her stay. On the contrary, a feeling of relief and confidence followed the resumption of the long interrupted tfrtendly intercourse. So noticeable was this immediate effect of her visit that the consul general strongly urged that the presence 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 another vessel there to take her place." BLOWING UP OF MAINE. "At forty minutes past 9 in the evening of the 15th of February the Maine was destroyed by an explosion, by which the entire forward part of the ship was utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two officers and 260 of her crew perished, those who were not killed outright by her explosion being penned between decks by the tangle of wreckage and drowned by the immediate sinking of the hull. Prompt assistance was rendered by the neighboring vessels anchored in the harbor, aid being especially given by the boats of the Spaniah cruiser Alphonso XII. and the Ward line steamer City of Washington, which lay not far distant. The wounded were generally cared for by the authorities of Havana, the hospitals being freely opened to them, while the earliest recovered bodies of the dead were interred by the municipality In a public cemetery in the city. Tributes of grief and sympathy were offered from all official quarters of the Island. The appalling calamity fell upon the people of our country with crushing force and for a brief time an intense excitement prevailed, which in a community less just and self-control led than ours, might have led "to hasty acts of blind resentment." CALMNESS OF OUR PEOPLE. "This spirit, however, soon gave way to the calmer processes of reason and to the resolve to investigate the facts and await \he material proof before forming a judgment as to the cause, the responsibility and, if the facts warranted, the remedy due. This course necessarily-recommended itself from the outset to the executive, ^or only in the light of a dispassionately ascertained certainty could it determine '.he nature and measure of its full duty \n the matter. The usual procedure was followed as in all 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 and practical experience to discharge the onerous duty imposed upon them. Aided by a strong force of wreckers and divers the court proceeded to make a thorough 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 pursued, no source of Inr formation was neglected and the fullest opportunity was allowed for a simultaneous investigation by the 8panish authorities. The finding of the court of inquiry was reached, after twenty-three days of continuous labor, on the 21st of March, tfnd having been approved on the 22d by the commander-in-chief of the United States naval force on the North Atlantic station was transmitted to the executive." SUMMARY OF COURT'S EVIDENCE. "It is herewith laid before th« congress, together with the voluminous testimony taken before the court. Its purport Is, m brief, as follows: " 'When the Maine arrived at Havana she was conducted by the regular government pilot to buoy No. 4, to which she w a s moored in from flvo and one-half to six fathoms of water. The state of discipline on board and the condition of her magazines, boilers, coal-bunkers and storage compartments are passed In review, with the conclusion that excellent order prevailed and that no indication of any cause for an Internal explosion existed In any quarter. At 8 o'clock in the eventag of Feb. 16 everything had been reported secure and all w a j quiet. At 9:40 the vessel was suddenly destroyed. There were two distinct explosions, with a brief interval between them. The first lifted the forward part of the ship perceptibly the second, which was more prolonged, is attributed by the court to the partial explosion of two or more of the forward that the" afterpart of the ship was practically intact and sunk in that condition a very few minutes uftrr the explosion. The forward part WHS completely demolished. At frame 17 the outer shell of l,w ship, from a point eleven and one-half feet from the middle line 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 thirty-four feet above where it would be had the ship sunk uninjured. The outside bottom plating is bent into a reversed \" shape, the after wing of which, aliout fifteen feet broad and thirty-two feet in length (from frame 17 to frame L\'), Is doubled back upon itself against the continuation of the same plating extending forward. " 'At frame 18 the vertical keel is broken fn two and keel bent Into an anple similar to the angle' formed for the outside plates. This break is about six feet below the surface of the water nmi about thirty feet above its normal position. In the opinion of the court this effect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated under the bottom of the ship, at about frame IS and somewhat on the port side of the ship.' " CONCLUSION OF REPORT. "The conclusions of the court are:_'Xhtit tho loss of the Maine was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on tin* part of any of the officers or-members o£ her crew. " 'That the ship was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, whten caused the partial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines, and, " "That no evidence has bt on obtainable fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or prisons.' "I have directed that tlie finding of the court of inquiry and the views of this government thereon be communicated to ilie government of hor majesty, the queen, and I do not permit myself to doubt that the sense of justice of the Spanish nation will dictate a course of action siiggvsU'd by honor and the friendly relations of the two governments, "It was the duty of the executive^ to a<lvlse the congress of the result, and in the meantime, deliberate consideration is in-. voked. "(Signed) WILLIAM M'KINLEY. "Executive mansion, March 28, 1S98." THE BOARD'S SUMMARY. FULL TEXT OF THE REPORT. This that follows is a synopsis, covering all main points, of the 100,000 words of testimony upon which the United States WAS FROM THB OUTSIDE. . " "The evidence of th« divers establishes naval court based Its findings in the easp of the Maine: U. S. S. Iowa, First-Rate, Key West, Fla., Monday, March 21, 1S98.—After, full and mature consideration of all the testimony before it. the court finds as follows: 1. That the United States battleship Maine arrived in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on the 25th day of January, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and was taken to buoy No. 4, in from five and a half to six fathoms of water, by the regular government pilot. The United'States consul-general at Havana had notified the authorities at that place, the previous evening, of the intended arrival of the Maine, 2. The state of discipline on board tho Maine was excellent, and all orders and "regulations irf regard to the care and safety of the ship were strictly carried out. All ammunition was stowed away in accordance with instructions, and proper care was taken whenever ammunition was handled. Nothing was stowed in any one of the magazines or shell rooms which was not permitted to be stowed there. The magazines and shell rooms wore always locked after having been oppned, and after the destruction of the Maine the keys were found in their proper place in the captain's cabin, everything having been reported secure that evening at 8 p. m CONDITION OF MAGAZINE^. The temperatures of the magazines and shell rooms were take"n dally and reported. The only magazine which had an undue amount of heat was the after 10-inch magazine and that did not explode at the time the Maine was destroyed. The torpedo war heads were all stowed in the after part of the ship under the ward room, and neither caused nor participated In the destruction of the Maine. The dry gun cotton primers and detonators were stowed in the cabin aft and remote front of the scene of the explosion. The. waste was carefully looked after on board the Maine to obviate danger. Special orders in regard to this had been given by the commanding officer. Varnishes, dryers, alcohol and other combustibles of this nature were stowed on or above the main deck and could not have had anything to do >ylth the destruction of the Maine. The medical stores were stowed aft under,the wardroom, and remote from the scene of the explosion. No dangerous stores of any kind were stowed below in any of the other storerooms. INSPECTION OF BUNKERS. The coal bunkers were inspected. Of those bunkers adjoining the forward magazines and shell rooms four were e m p t y - namely, B 3, B 4, B 5, B 6. "A 15" had been In use that day. and "A 16" was full of New River coal. This coal had been carefully inspected before receiving it on board. The bunker in which it was stowed was accessible on three Hides at all times, and the fourth side at this tim# on account of bunkers "B 4" and "B 6" being; empty. This bunker, A 16. had been Inspected that d»7 by the engineer officer on duty. Tho fire alarms In the bunkers were In working order, and there had never been a case of spontaneous combustion of coal on board the Maine. The two after boilers of the ship were in use at the time of the disaster, but for auxiliary purposes only, with a comparatively low pressure of steam, and being tended by a reliable watch. These boilcould not tmvi' caused the explosion of the ship. The farrr forward"TJolferi* have since been found by the divers, and are in fair condition. On the night of the destruction o f the Maine everything had Uwn reported secure for the night, wt 8"p. $»., b s reliable persons, through the proper authorities, to the commanding officer. At the time the Maine* was destroyed the ship was quiet and therefore, least liable to accident caused by movements from those on board. THE HOUR OF THIC P1SASTKR. 3. The destruction of the Maine occurred at iiMO p. in., on the 15th day of February, 189S, in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, being at th« time moored to the same buoy to which sue nail been taken upon her arrival. There wore two explosions of u distinctly different character, with a very short but distinct intervail between them, and the furwurd part of the ship was lifted to a marked degree at the time of the first explosion. The Ilrst explosion wan more lit the nature of a report, like that of a gun, while the second explosion was more open, prolongcd, and of greater volume. This second explosion was, in the opinion of the court, caused by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines of the Main*. KVlllKNCK NOT DKFINITK. 4. The evidence hearing on this, being principally obtained from divers, did not enable the court to form a definite conclusion as to the condition of the wreck, although It was established that the after part of tho ship was pructically intuct, and sank In that condition a very few minutes after the destruction of Lho. forward part. The following facts in regard to the forward part of tho ship are, however, established by the testimony: That portion of the port aide of the. protective deck, which extends from about frame 30 to about frame 41, was blown aft, and over to port. The mnln doc\, 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 tho opinion of the court, caused by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward mapazfnes. CONDITION OF THE WRECK. 5. At frame 17, the outer shell of the ship, from a point, llty foet from the middle line 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 'H feet above where, it would be had the ship sunk uninjured. The outside bottom plating Is bent Into a reversed V shape, the after win^ of which is about 1T> feet broad 'and 32 feet in length (from frame 17 to frame 2,">) is doubled back upon itself against the continuation of the same, plating extending forward. At frame IS the vertical keel Is broken in two, and the flat keel bent into an an- ,s;lo similar to the an^le formed by the outside bottom plating. This break is now about six f»et below the surface of the water, and about HO feet above its normal position. In tho opinion of the court this effect could have In en produced only by the explosion of a mine situated under the bottom of the iOiJp at about frame 18, and somewhat on tnr port side of the ship. CATorch «*Y A MINK. i). The court finds that the loss of the Maine, on the occasion named, was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of the crew of said vessel. 7. In the opinion of.the court the Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, which caused the partial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines. S. The court has been unable to obtuin evidence tixliif* the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons. \V. T. Sampson, President Hoard of Inquiry. A. J. Marix. Judge Advocate, Board of Inquiry. The court, having finished the inquiry, it was ordered to make, adjourned at 11 a. m. TOLD BY WITNESSES. EXCERPTS FROM TESTIMONY. The testimony taken by the court of inquiry which investigated the destruction of the Maine, as submitted to congress, comprises about one hundred thousand words. Following are important excerpts: "Ensign W. V. N. Powelson was called the third day of the court. He testified that he had been present on the Maine every day from the arrival of the boat Fern and during a sreat deal of the diving. In reply to a question to tell the court about the condition of the wreck, he said the forward part of the ship, forward of the after smokestack, had been, to all appearances, completely destroyed. The conning tower lay in a position opposite the door leading to the superstructure aft and to starboard, inclined at about 110 degrees to the vertical, with the top of the conning tower inboard. Continuing, he described, with close detail, the condition under the main deck on the port sidp. The fixtures were completely wrecked, while fixtures in the same position on the starboard side were" in some cases almost Intact. The port bulkhead between {he main and berth decks at the connitig-tower support had been blown aft on both sides, but a great deal more on the port than on the starboard side. The fireroom hatch immediately abaft of the conning tower had been blown in three directions—aft, to starboard and to port. The protective deck under the conning tow«r supports was bent in two directions, the plates on the starboard side bent down." BEAM BENT TO STARBOARD. "In reply to an inquiry as to whether he meant with reference to their original positions, Ensign Powelson replied affirmatively. The beam supporting the protective deck a few inches baft of the armored tube, to port of the midship line, was bent up to starboard of the midship line. Just forward of the conning tower underneath the main deck two beams met at right angles; one beam was broken and pushed from port to starboard. A grating was found on the poop awning just forward of the after searchlight. A piece of the side plating just abaft of the starboard turret was visible. This plate was bent outward and then the forward end bent upward and folded backward upon itself. This plate was sheared from the rest of the plating below the water line. This plating below the water line has been pushed out to starboard. The armored gratings of the engine room hatch were blown off. A composition strainer was picked up from the bottom on the starboard quarter at a point about opposite the poop capstan and about seventy feet from It. The chief engineer thought the strainer was from £he fireman's washroom. It was not a strainer In the ship's side. Near the piece of outside plating, to which witness referred above, he said there were pleees of red shellacked planks. On thsse planks was bolted a composition track two Inchss wide and an look thlok." VISIT ED WfSTEflN CANADA. Report of l)fi«^ttti*M H*ut frotu MlcnJga* to &lum*U» District.

The soil is the best we ever saw, and as the farmers were all busy at threshing, we had an excellent chance to see its productive quality, which cannot be surpassed anywhere. The cattle could not be in better condition. We saw two year- old steers equal to three year old raised-in most places, and these, as are all others about Alameda, were fed on native hay in winter and herded in summer. As we had previous to this visited the Northwestern States in behalf of a large number of farmers, to locate sui;able land for mixed farming, we are now in a position to say that the ' Alameda district of Western Canada surpasses them all. The country is equal to that about Thuringen in Germany. We were rather sceptic before starting, and our intention was to settle in spring, if we were suited, but we have now decided to move at once, that is, as early this fall as we possibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Alameda, and take back his report, and we will take his family and effects with us when we go. Yours sincerely, (Signed) ALBERT MAI FRED GOTTOWSKI. Ludington, Mich.. Nov. 1, 1897. M. V Mclnnes, Esq., Colonization Agent. DeTroTTTTUcfi: Dear ~5TFP-~We have just returned from the West, and were exceedingly well pleased with the country. We are going back to take up our homesteads in early spring. We received $35 per month and board working for farmers, and the board was the best we ever had—the beef and mutton especially were excellent. The fine flavor is owing to the fine grasses which the cattle and sheep feed upon. The people are very hospitable, and treat their hired help with much kindness. The grain is much heavier than here; wheat being 62 lbs. to the bushel; oats 48 lbs., and barley often 55 lbs. Any man with a good team and money enough to buy provisions and seed for six months can become rich there in five years. Many people who arrived there five years ago with little, or nothing, are well off now. One man I met held his wheat from last year and was offered $16,000 for this year's crop and what he had held over from last year, and is holding at %l per bushel. We are going back in the spring to work for this same farmer until seeding, after which we wil) homestead between seeding and harvest. We think we will settle on the Manitoba & Northwestern R. R. You can refer any one to us fot this part of the country, while we are here, and we will cheerfully answer any questions which anyone may wish to ask. Yours truly, A (Signed) CHAS.

Michigan ChrUtlan Endntvor Convention Supreme Court Affirms Its Tax Title Declnlun—Hilton Severely Scoreb«d— Npet-la) Election I^eglitlatlve Hearing on Kailruad Taxation The second hearing before the joint House and Senate committees on the Pingree taxation hill was decidedly warm. (iov. lMntfree was present with Col. Atkinson as his riyht hand man. The following railroad representatives were present: Uenton Ifanchett. attorney, and President Crapo. of the Flint & l'ere Marquette; Henry Kus.sel, attorney for the Michigan <-entrai; Harrison (Jeer, attorney for (Jrand Trunk; Wellington It. Hurt, and H. W. Ashley, general manager of the Ann Arbor, and T. ./. O'Urien, attorney of the (Jrand Rapids *fc Indiana. All of the speakers took the ground that the present rate of taxation produces every cent of revenue the roads are honestly able to pay; that further taxation will mean receivership to many of them; that the present method is a« good as can be devised; that the Pingree plan is altogether too new a thing to be adopted without a more careful study than is possible at a short special session, and that the best thing to do, if the legislature must do something, is to raise the rate under the present law, and appoint a commission to investigate, the latter preferred. Col. Atkinson questioned each attorney at the close of his talk, and he tangled up everyone of them except Geer. whose wit and repartee enabled him to turn the tables effectually. The general impression seems to be that the net result of the hearings was to stiffen up the opposition to the bill, especially among the so-called independent members, (iov. Pingree. however, calls the speakers the "railroad lobby,"' and thinks they have had no effect. Supreiu*' Court AlflruiH Tax Title Decision The opinion handed down by the supreme court last December in the famous tax title case of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. vs. KugiMie U. Wood et al. has been affirmed by the court at a rehearing granted on an appeal by the state. This decision is of great importance to hundreds of persons in all parts of the state. It protects, to a great extent, the rights of homesteaders on slate tax lands, caustically criticises some former .state officials for what it terms "gross ne.yli- •"•ence." and suggests the necessity lor sending a special message to the legislature, recommending remedial legislation.

ANDUKWS , Publisher * PINCKNEY , - " - MICHIGAN , THE EXTRA SESSION. The first real fight on th e Pingre e bill began when th e House , iu commit - tee of th e whole, took up th e bill under a special orde r which provides tha t it Hhal l have th e right of way unti l finished. The ball opene d with th e very first section , which provides for a board of five assessors to be appointe d by th e governor . Ther e was a storm of amendment s and substitute s providing /o r elective boards , appointiv e board s and board s par t elective an d par t appointive , an d althoug h an amendmen t of th e latte r class, propose d by Rep. Scully, was adopted , it was reconsidere d and a substitut e offered by Rep. Graham , of Kent , was passed unanimously . I t provided tha t an ad interi m board of assessors should be compose d of th e attorne y - general , auditor-general , secretar y of state , state treasure r and land commissioner , who should serve unti l Jan , 18«.№, and at th e genera l electio n thi s fall a board of two should be elected , one for two years and th e othe r for four, th e auditor- genera l to be chairma n ex ofiieio. Thereafte r one membe r of th e board should be electe d at every genera l electio n for a term of four years. Thi s is regarde d as a mutua l concessio n with th e balanc e of favor on th e Pin - gree side. Sectio n 2 was amende d by cuttin g th e salary of th e secretar y of th e boar d from S3.000 to 81.','00. And thi s was Toted for by th e IMngre e men . Ther e were non e but mino r change s in section s three , four and five. Sectio n six caused considerabl e discussion , but was finally left as in th e origina l bill: i. e., th e board of assessors to make th e rat e of taxatio n on railroa d and othe r corporation s include d im th e bill th e same as th e average rat e throughou t the %tate , exclusive of tha t for local improvements . Rep. Shepherd , of Cheboygan, wante d to make th e rat e of taxatio n on railroad s a specific one of ?4 of 1 per cent , instea d of requirin g the m to pay th e same rat e "as othe r propert y pays. He also wante d to exempt railroad s nort h of the forty-fourt h parallel . He declare d th e section of the Pingre e bill unconstitutiona l on the groun d tha t th e legislature could not delegate its power to fix th e rat e of taxation . Col. Atkinson .said *\ of 1 per cent railroa d tax would be an improvemen t of th e presen t ta x on roads. which, he said, is U of 1 per cent . •"Hut, " adde d he, "shall we go hom e and say to our constituent s th e railroad s shall pay only % of T per cent r while othe r people are to payJ.'jpo r cent on thei r homes ? Thi s would be anothe r crim e against th e people. " Atkinson insisted tha t th e Pingre e bill was perfectl y constitutional . As to the propose d exemptio n of road s nort h of th e forty-fourt h parallel , he said, ther e are road s nort h of A lpena tha t pay 7 per cen t dividend s and pay no taxes."' It was all clear sailing unti l section -4 was reache d an d the n a small scrap took place as to th e compensatio n of the member s of th e board , but it was left at 810 per day. One of th e most importan t amendment s made to th e bill was offered by Representativ e Crippen . of th e uppe r peninsula . I£ provides that in arriving at the rate of taxation on railroads the board of assessors must add to the valuation of all other property the valuation of the railroad property, which will tend to largely decrease the rate imposed on the roads. After a few more minor amendments had been made the reading of the bill was completed. After all the amendments had been acted upon. Adams, of Kent, moved that all alter the enacting clause be stricken out. but the committee arose before a vote could be taken on the motion ar.d the House adjourned. In a.hot speech Senator Forsythe declared that if the Pingree bill became a law, without other legislation preceding it, it would result in increased freight rates in rural districts and a great injustice would be perpetrated upon the farmers and people of small villages. He. therefore, offered a resolution calling upon the governor to send in a message on the following: First, a bill to equalize freight rates; second, a bill to repeal existing special railway charters; third, tha^ the tax bill be so amended as to include mining and other corporations, and to provide for a uniform tax of 2 per cent on the cash value of all their property. The Senator took occasion to roast the gov- Tnor and said his '"henchmen are a *ordid, hungry, selfish horde." After having already twice killed a "imilar resolution the House, without a dissenting vote, passed a resolution offered by Rep. Sawyer, o f Washtenaw calling upon the governor to submit another special message widening the scope of the special session to allow the consideration of tax reform on all kinds of corporations similar to railroads, such 'as street railways, gas companies, electric lighting companies, and all others of a semi-public character,and also to include the total repeal of the Michigan Central's and all other Special railroad charters. Col. Atkinson at first opposed the measure, but gracefully faced about and thus gave P sanction to it. 1 1 « 1HD0SC0PI Report of Maine Court of Inquiry Sent to Congress WITH PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, Resolution* Demanding Independence for Calm and Declaring fur War Affainat Spain Introduced in lloth the Ifouae and the Senate. Congress About to Declare War. President McKinley has been able to hold congress in check for some time, but since he has sent in the report of the Maine court of inquiry congress has become restle.s.s because no action has been taken to put an end to the Cuban war and to give freedom and independence to the downtrodden Cubans. The war feeling gained the ascendancy at last and in one day four resolutions favoring immediate independence for Cuba were introduced in the Senate. Senator Uawlins, of Utah, introduced a joint resolution recognizing the independence of Cuba and declaring war against Spain. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, offered a resolution for Cuban independence, and Senator Frye, of Maine, introduced a resolution reciting the conditions in Cuba and directing the President, in his discretion, to take steps to drive Spain's naval and military forces from the island. Mr. Allen also introduced a resolution bearing on the same question. Mr. Foraker, in presenting his resolution said that it had been long delayed. He had intended to present it at the opening of the session last December, but he had withheld it at that time, because of the tenor of the President's message. That message, he said gave promise that within a resonable tune definite and decisive action would be taken by the administration, so soon as autonomy should be given a fair trial. A reasonable time seems now to have elapsed. The people of the country realize that all necessary time has been given Spain to bring peace to the stricken island. Autonomy, Mr. Foraker declared, had absolutely failed. Senator Mason, of Illinois, then addressed the Senate on an intervention resolution recently ottered by himself. He said that he was tired of the dilatory tactics that had been employed for three years to prevent any assistance from the I'nited States to the starving Cubans. He spoke of the deliberate butchery and starvation.of innocents which has been going on at our very doors, and ,practically with t-, for iwnv t-WiiVUdJ'*' Mr. Mason declared there could be no peace so long a.s a European nation owns and butchers its slaves on this hemisphere. He described vividly the disaster to the Maine and said that it should be replied to vigorously. He could not speak for others but as for himself he was for war. He said it was not necessary for the Maine court of inquiry to fix the responsibi-1 ty: the law did that. If it was a torpedo or a mine, it was a ^Spanish torpedo or a Spanish mine; hence, Spain must answer. He would oppose any proposition looking to indemnity us he would oppose making a diplomatic incident of the catastrophe. He would oppose any kind of autonomy or any plan to assist Spain, but his demand was that the Spanish nag should be driven from the western hemisphere. Neither did he believe Cuba should be required to pay an indemnity to Spain.. "Let us awake,"' said Mr. Mason, in conclusion, "to glorious war. as did our fathers—war that shall insure the honor and respect of our Hag all over the world." Rep. Marsh, of Illinois, chairman of the House committee ori the militia, has introduced the following joint resolution: "That war behind the same is hereby declared between the government of Spain and her dependencies and the Tnited States and her territories, and that the President of the United States is hereby authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the I'nited States, including the militia and naval militia thereof, to carry the same into effect." A very determined movement is on foot in the House, in which prominent men of both parties co-operate, to bring to a vote a proposition to declare the independence of Cuba, even if it becomes necessary to arbitrarily overrule the chair. The Republicans caucused and a number of red-hot speeches alcng this line were made, it was agreed that unless the President takes immediate action they would-push through the House a measure to accomplish the unqualified removal of Spanish rule from Cuba and prompt armed intervention to save the reconcentradoes and to put an immediate stop to hostilities on the island. President McKinleyimd his supporters succeeded in bringing sufficient pressure to bear upon the radical war Republicans to hold the House in cheftk a few days The President assured the Michigan delegation, who called upon him in a body, that negotiations were in progress which would end the suffering of the reconcentradoes and would give the Cubans independence. It is understood that an indemnity of something less than 8200,000,000 for Spain is the basis of these negotiations. The Maine Konort In Tremendous crowds thronged the Senate and House to hear the President's message on the report of the court o{ inquiry on the Maine disaster. The reading was attended with a breathless interest, b*»t at its conclusion there was. a very apparent air of disappointment. There was a brief round of applause iu the House, the message was referred to the committee on foreign affairs. The message Kent to the Senate was accompanied by the findings of the court- of inquiry and both were read and, with the testimony taken by the board, were promptly referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Mr. Moneyi of Mississippi, made a vigorous speech on the Cuban situation in which he said that it was a waste of effort to try to bring about peace on the island through autonomy or diplomatic agencies. He declared that independence, und independence alone, would satisfy the Cubans. "As long as the yellow flag of Spain salutes the sky over the afflicted island, the Cubans would die to a man rather than accept anything less than independence." Mr. Money said there was but one remedy, and that such action by the I'nited States as would bring the war in Cuba to an end. He thought we should make decisive demands upon Spain for the cessation of hostilities in Cuba, as westand responsible to history for our action now. If such action should bring war, let war come. In the present condition of this country a tempest is needed to clear the atmosphere, and he was firm in the belief that an honorable' war with Spain would be from many points of view a desirable consummation of our present difficulty. Hoth houses adjourned as a mark of respect to the memory of Rep. Simpkins, of Massachusetts, who died during the day. Report of Spanish Hoard a I Inquiry. A full synopsis of the report of the Spanish naval commission which investigated the destruction of the battleship Maine has been received at Washington. The conclusions reached are directly opposite to those in the report of the lT. S. court of inquiry. "The report contains declarations by ocular witnesses and. experts. From these statements it clearly deduces and proves the absence of all those attendant circumstances which are invariably present on the explosion of a torpedo. The evidence of witnesses comparatively close to the Maine at the moment is to the effect that only one explosion occurred: that no column of water was thrown into the air; that no shock to the side of the nearest vessel was felt; nor on land was any vibration noticed, and that jio dead tish were found. The divers were unable to examine the bottom of the Maine, which was buried in the mud. but a careful examination of the sides of the vessel, the rents and lireaks in whtctl a~tt point—outward. shows without a doubt that the explosion was from the inside. A minute examination of the bottom of the harbor artmnd the vessel .shows absolutely no sign of the action of a torpedo and the fiscal (judge advocate) of the commission can find no precedent for the explosion of the storage magazine: vessel by a torpedo."' Torpedo itoatK to hv linilt on Ihe E&iceg. F. W. Wheeler, the liay City ship builder, visited the navy department at Washington and had a long conference with Assistant Secretary Roosevelt und offered to tl\ro\v his whole yard open to the government at any moment. He said that he would willingly undertake to make a complete -4- knot torpedo boat in four months and to turn out one every two months thereafter as long as there was necessity for it. Mr. Roosevelt said the department expected an appropriation for :50 torpedo boats, and that he expected to give rush orders for 10 of them It) builders on the lakes. As soon as a bill appropriating the money passed he would take advantage of Mr. \Vheeler's oiler. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The postofh'ee at Springbrook. lvalamazoo county, has been discontinued. Mail will go to Richland. Rep. Chamberlain has introduced his bill providing for a specific tax of 1 per cent on the capital stock of railroads. He says it would raise a revenue of $3,000,000. The Senate voted unanimously to postpone indefinitely the matter of unseating Senator Hughes. This allows him to retain h*s seat and adds one more vote to Pingive's side. Fred R. Phctteplace, a well-known Kulamazoo young man who was convicted of embezzling nearly $.">,000 from the (t, R. iV I,, was fined $400 or two years in prison. His fine was paid by his mother and it took the last dollar she had. Senator Uaruum has presented a bill providing for a board of five to investigate the system of taxation proposed by the governor and report its findings to the governor, in order that he may be in a position to recommend to the next legislature a measure along the line of their findings. Rep. (lustiu, of Alpcna, has offered a resolution which was passed calling upon the governor for /& special message to remedy the defect in the system of sale of state tax lands, as set forth by the recent decision of the supreme court, and to afford relief to the thousands of homesteaders who will be affected by the decision. RUSSIA CSTS CHINESE PORTS. Force* China to Ulve Up 1'orl Arthur and Tu-Llen-W*»n — llrltaln Will Orab. . 8t. Petersburg: It is officially announced that Port Arthur and the port of Ta-Lien-Wan and the territories adjacent, have been ceded to Russia in usufruct by China. The other powers have been notified. The ports hare been occupied by Russian troops and the Russian flag has replaced that of the Chinese. A Pekin dispatch gives the same news and adds that China saves her face by retaining nominal sovereign rights, w)iich, however, she is powerless to assert, the lease being equivalent to cession. London: The papers publish anxious articles reproaching the government for its inaction in China and asks if Kngland has surrendered to Russia. The Times says: "The news is NO serious that it may compel England to take immediate action. If the Russian demands are allowed to prevail wo shall be obliged to recognize the fact that China is about' to be rapidly reduced to the position of the Khuuates of Central Asm, first terrorized and paralyzed und ultimately .swallowed up by Russia." London: A statement hus been obtained in a competent quarter respecting British intentions in China, in view of the naval movements in the far east. It is admitted that the British policy of maintaining the integrity of China and the equal commercial status of all nations has been abandoned, owing to the concessions made to Russia and (Jermany. The only course left Great Britain is to follow suit, obtain equal advantages with the other powers and secure adequate compensation in her (nvn interests. This explains the British naval activity at Hong Kong and elsewhere. Therefore a movement upon the part of Great Britain may be anticipated in the near future. The disappointment of the government supporters at the progress of affairs in the far east is becoming more acute. It is reported, however, from the best quarters that the apparent diplomatic defeat of Great Britain masks a move of the greatest importance, which will give Great Britain a favorable position. The Daily Chronicle says it has reason to believe that an area of 10,000 square miles in the province of Shan Si has been conceded by China to a syndicate of Knglish capitalists. THE NEWS CONDENSED.

The darkest days of husband and wife are when ikgj come to look forward to a childless and desolate old age. Many a wife has found herself incapable of motherhood owing to some great lack of strength in the organs of generation. Such a condition is nearly always due to long continued neglect of the plainest warning's. Frequent backache and distressing pains accompanied by offensive discharges and generally by ir regular and scanty menstruation, indicate a nerve degeneration of the womb and surroundingorgans, that unless speedily checked will result in barrenness. Read Mrs. Wilson's letter: DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Noonecould have suffered from female troubles more than I. I had tumors on the womb, my ovaries were diseased, and for fifteen years I was a burden to myself» I was operated upon three different times, with only temporary relief; also tried many doctors. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me by a lady friend, and after taking four bottles I was like a new woman. I had been married nine years, and had no children. I now have a beautiful little girl, and we feel assured she is the result of my taking the Compound—MAY B. WILSON, 323 Sassafras •St., Millville, N. J.

UT he was greatly tickled by Charles' remarks, and more than once on the way home repeated to himself with a chuckle, "Dook of Middlesex! I must encourage Charles a little. Ton my soul, uncommonly neat—Dook of Middlesex!" Meantime I must confess that Dorothy had gone home in what Barbara was accustomed to call "a boiling passion." Barbara happened to be coming across the little hall when she let herself in at the front door. "Miss Dorothy— my dear, what is it?" the old servant cried, her heart jumping fairly into her mouth as a dreadful idea flashed into her mind that the young mistress' hour bad come. "Barbara," said Dorothy, in a voice shaking with passion. "I take back everything that I have ever said in defense of David Stevenson—every word." "What! have you seen him?" cried Barbara. "I used to feel," Dorothy went on, in the same trembling tones, and without taking the smallest notice of Barbara's question, "very sorry that I could never fall In with auntie's wishes concerning him. And then, after auntie got so fond of my Dick, I wasn't sorry for David, because I thought circumstances had been a little hard for him, so I have stood up for him with all of you. But you were all right, and I take back now every word that ever I have said in his favor." Barbara drew her into the pretty drawing room. "Sit down, my dear young mistress," she said, tenderly, "a^d tell me all about it." So Dorothy sat down on the sofa and told Barbara everything about her meeting with David—what he had said and what she had said; what he had looked and what she had felt; how he had turned old Isaac out of his place and had put a grand new-fangled gardener to be Isaac's master at the Hall; and finally, how he had asked her to go back and the past would be forgotten, and he had insinuated—u»y, had told her plainly—but, no. Dorothy's cnmpnBnre_djd not hold out long enough for her to tell that part of her story, for when she reached that point she gave way and broke down into violent sobbing. Barbara sat down beside her and took her Into her arms, so that she might lay her head upon the old ser^ rant's ample breast and cry her heartache away. "Miss Dorothy, dear," she said, presently, curiosity getting the best of her at last, "did David Stevenson dare to tell you that you wasn't married?" "Not in so many words, Barbara," Dorothy answered, sitting up now and drying her flushed face, "but he asked me to go back and marry him," with unutterable contempt, "and he wovld show me what love meant—he, that turned my old friend out of his place SHAKING WITH PASSION, directly Auntie dled-^and he said something about my turning my back on all my friends for the sake of a fellow -who had brought me to this." "David Stevenson all over," remarked Barbara, dryly. "But, my dear young mistress, you didn't let 4dm go away thinking what he had said was true?" "I told him I had been married for months," Dorothy replied, "and then I just said, 'Good morning* in a tone of ice, and I walked straight/in without even looking at him again." "And he saw you come in here?" Barbara cried. / "Yet," Dorothy /answered. "How couW I help i t ? / "No, I suppose not; but. depend on It, itt will go gabbling back to Graveffe and ««t her ladyship and all ttot rest of them on to you." "Never mind if he does," Dorothy crieJ. "But you wanted to keep it dark, my dear," Barbara reminded her. "YesT but it doesn't matter so much now that Dick is gone," Dorothy replied. "And, anyway, Esther will be here, and Esther will be able to ward off everybody and keep them from asking me too closely about anything. I only hope that David Stevenson won't try to force his way in here before Esther comes." "What would be the good?" Barbara asked. " You told him you were married." "Y«s, but he didn't look a bit as if he believed me," Dorothy returned. "Then just let him come here and try it on," cried Barbara valiantly, and really as she stood there, a stout and comfortable figure with her arms akimbo, she looked more than a match for any ordinary man, and nobody would have believed, except such as knew her well, how utterly her courage always deserted her at a critical moment. "Let him try it on, that's all. I can give him a bit of information he won't find very much <to hi.s liking —I can tell his high and mightiness that I see you married with my own eyes." But David Stevenson stood in need of no such information; he had not believed that Dorothy was married— she was right enough there. Still, he had realized at last that she was not for him, and that afternoon, whilst he was idly turning over the papers in the reading-room of the hotel, and wishing himself with all his heart down at Holroyd, it suddenly occurred *o him that if Dorothy really was married, he would be able to get evidence of the fact by walking down the street and spending an hour and half a crown at Somerset House. And there, sure enough, he found the record that was the death-blow of his last little feeble hope—the record of the4 marriage between Richard Harris, bachelor, and Dorothy Strode, spinster, bearing date now a little more than nine months old. "Barbara Potter, witness," read David to himself between his teeth, then clenched his hand hard as it rested upon his knee, so that the glove which covered it was burst in several places. -"Baffin—tha^—old—woman! she must have a hand in it, of course." Then he put the great book back upon the table, and strode out along the empty echoing corridors and across the street. After a moment's hesitation, caused by the noise and throng of the street, he made up his mind. "Hang it all, what's the good of stopping here? I'll go back home; I shan't feel it so badly there." V CHAPTER XXIII. HREE days had gone, and still Esther Brand had not arrived in London. Each day Dorothy got more and more impatient for her presence, because, although she had never once * seen D a v i d Stevenson since that morning when she had almost walked into his arms in the Kensington High street, she was so afraid that he might be lurking about the neighborhood that she never set foot outside her own door. If she had known that he was safely down at Holroyd, dividing his life between riding hard from one point of his property to another, and sitting moodily staring into the empty fire-grate, his thoughts all busily occupied in cursing at fate! However, that phase of feeling did not last long with him, for one fine September morn- Ing he went over to the Hall and wandered round the quiet old garden—a good deal of its especial charm of quaint beaaty "improved" away now— where she had spent her happy childhood. /' "lil have that bed done away with," he said to old Isaac, pointing out a small, neat bed cut in the velvet turf, just in front of the dining-room window, "it spoils the look of the lawn; dig it up, and we'll have it turfed over." Old Isaac looked at him hesitatingly —the old man had felt bitterly his degredation from gardener to odd man, yet ten sbiTlings a week is not to be sneezed at when its almost certain alternative is the workhouse. He hardly dared to say what was in his mind; 9tlH. the old feutlal Instinct, the habit of forty years was strong in him, and he ventured a timid protest "That were MIM Dorothys own bed. sir," 'he began; "%he dug ft her little self, and Chen she'd take a turn round and have another spell o' digging after. And then, In the springtime, , when the violets came out, she was werry proud, o' the fust "tuaoh she took to the mlstreBB." "H'm," muttered David, and moved away. 'Took it better nor I thought he would," mused old Isaac, rather elated at his own boldness. But Isaac had counted his chickens too early, for later in the day the bead gardener came round to him. "By the bye, Isaac," he said, after mentioning one or two little matters, "the gov'nor wants that little bed under the dining-room window leveled and turfed over—wants it done at once." "I hear," said Isaac The old man was trembling as he turned away, and when the other waa gone he stood by the little flower-bed as if It were a grave, looking down upon it with tear-filled eyes. "Brute!" he ground out between his teeth, "brute! What be I to do wi' the wiolets, Bell?" he asked, the next time he came across his superior. "Guv'ner said you was to chuck 'em qut on the rubbish heap,"*" Bell anav ered. •'Nay, I'll take 'em down to mine," said Isaac, in a quivering voice. "As you like about that," said Bell, all unknowing of the tumult in the old man's breast. And the day following that David Stevenson ordered his horse and rode away from Holroyd through Graveleigh and past the old Hall to a largo and prosperous-looking farm, about a mile beyond the house where Dorothy's old friend, Lady Jane Sturt, lived. He turned in* at the gates and gave his horse into the care of a man who came running out. "Is Miss Elsie at home?" he asked. "I believe she is, sir," the man replied; "but if you'll knock at the door they'll tell you for certain." A nice-looking country girl in a neat apron and cap came to the door. Yes, Miss Elsie was at home, the mistress had gone into Dovecourt. Would Mr. Stevenson come this way? He followed her into a pretty enoui* skting-room, though it had but few of the little touches which had made Miss Dimsdale's drawing-room so pretty and so restful. There were shades over wax flowers, and a plaster of Paris vase containing some artificial orangeblossoms, which had once adorned the wedding cake of the married daughter of the house, and there were white crochetrwork rags over some of the chairs, and others with fearful and wonderful designs In crewels tied up with its bits of gay-colored ribbons. Yes, It was pretty enough, but not bearable to him after the quaint and dignified air which "Had pervaded everything at the Hall where she had lived. In two minutes Elsie Carrington came in, a tall, wholesome-looking girl, with fair hair that was too yellow and cheeks that were too red, and as David's eyes fell upon her I am bound to say that his very soul seemetl to turn sick within him. Not that h* THAT WERE MISS DOROTHY'S BED flinched, oh, no, David Stevenson was not of the kind that flinches. "I've come on a queer enough errand, Elsie," he began. "Yes?" she said in a questioning tone. "Yes! But it's no use beating about the bush; It's best to be honest and true, isnt it?" "Of course it is." She was very much flushed and puzzled, too, but &» yet she had no idea of his meaning. "You must know as well as I do,' he went on, not attempting to go i step nearer to her or even to take her hand, "that I've cared for Dorothy Strode all my life." "Yes," said the girl, faintly. "Well," standing up very straight and still, and with a face like marble, "that's all over now, and I want to get my life settled Into shape. Holroyd wants a mistress, and I've kep1: the place open so long," with a piteoun attempt at making fun, "that I hardly like to offer it to any one else. Well," finding that 4ie did not speak, "what do you tugr, Elsie?" 'To be continued.) # * • : . • • CUR GREGORY COLUMN. Moml JVrry lvtununl from1 Jackson Mc.mlny.

Any paper will cover the walls,) but to "decorate" it requires well made, reliable wall paper in harmonious colorings and latest designs. There is also a vast differing in cost.

JSpnnrth League Conference at Jackson —The Naval Reservwi Ordered to be Ready for Call at a Moment'* Notice —rLegiftlatlve Dofngit. Naval Reserves Ordered to be Ready. The Naval Reserves of the several states on the Great lakes are now under orders to answer the call of the President to turn out at a moment's notice, and they are awaiting- orders from the secretary of the navy to go tc the seacoast. Gov. Piugree, of Michigan; Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio, and Gov. Tanner, of Illinois, have received the following dispatches from the navy department: "The department requests that you will immediately proceed to put the naval militia of your state in thorough condition to meet any sudden call for their services by the President of United States. The divisions should be recruited to their full strength and thoroughly drilled." i Gov. Pingree, of Michigan, at once gave the necessary orders in compliance with the department's order and the governor said that he would have a bill, appropriating $500,000 for the militia, introduced in the legislature. "If the naval reserves are called out they will be fully equipped," said the governor. "The money will be taken out of the military fund, and returned as soon as the appropriation is allowed," The divisions at Detroit and Saginaw at once began recruiting to the full limit and soon had their full quota of 300 men. Four of the. members of the Michigan Reserves have had actual experience in the navy. Gilbert Wilkes, the commander, is a graduate of the Annapolis naval academy and served nine years in the navy as midshipman and ensign. The Ohio reserves were also recruited to a war standing and two new divisions organized—at Sandusky and Ashtabula. 4 The Illinois Reserves expect to go direct to Florida and will be commanded by Edward H. Harrison, a graduate from the naval academy in 18S~\ They number 800 men. Michigan Kpwortli Leug-uera. The seventh annual convention of the Michigan Epworth League was held- at the First Methodist church in Jackson with over 800 delegates from all parts of the state. The city was decorated with flags, bunting and Epworth colors and unusual efforts made to entertain the large number of guests. The board of control changed the name from convention to conference and recommended biennial instead of yearly conferences; FUnt-and Owotiao competed for next year's convention and the decision was in favor of Owosso on its offer to entertain the delegates free. A large number of splendid papers were read and stirring speeches made. The department of junior conferences were inspiring and instructive. Secretary Scott Jones" report showed that the Epworth League has 40,000 members in Michigan. Bishop Ninde and President j»»hley. of Albion college, delivered eloquent sermons to the conference. Officers were elected as follows: President, Dr. R. S. Copelanl. Ann Arbor: first vice-president. Rev. W. A. Frye, Three Rivers; secretary, W. Scott Jones, Detroit; treasurer. Otis A. Felger, Grand Rapids; junior superintendent, Miss M. Frances Pullar. Resolutions were adopted in favor of a "Christian citizenship" committee in j each local league to work for moral reform; pledging members to wage unceasing war against the use of tobacco; expressing sympathj' with the Cubans; commending President McKinley s course, and adopting the motto: /'Cuba shall be free."

The Michigan crop report for April says: March was an unusually warm month. The fields were bare of snow excepting the extreme northern part, throughout the southern peninsula during the larger part of the month. Bains were frequent and heavy, and the total excessive at many points. Since April 1 the weather has been less favorable. The temperature has ranged low, with heavy, cold winds from the north. This continued cold weather with high winds is surely injuring wheat, but it is yet too early to estimate percentage of damage.

THE EXTRA CESSION. When the Pingree taxation bill was received by the Senate, after having been passed by the House, it was referred to the joint committees on railroads and taxation. After an entire day spent in considering it the committee decided to report the bill without recommendation or amendment. The hearing in the committee had something of a sensational color owing to the participation of ex-Gov. Rich, collector of customs at Detriot. He said he questioned the wisdom and the whole policy of the bill. He thought the railroad taxes under it would not be specific taxes, and that therefore the school fund would be in danger. He raised the point that the value of a railroa'd depends on the earning power, and that in taxing.the earnings the state gets .nearest to a tax on value, and he attacked tl^t* part of the bill that proposes to repeal the tax clause of the Michigan Central charter. The bill, he thought, would tend to intimidate capital and preyent it from seeking investment in Michigan. When Rich had finished Col. Atkinson took the floor in defense of the mil. He was as*ked questions on all sides, but he was loaded on the subject and thoroughly riddled all the eiriticism that hud been made on the measure. "The general railroad tax law of '!)3 is not worth the paper it is written on; the Merriam law of '97 is not worth as much as the gaslight • cost for the conference committee," declared Col. Atkinson. It was one of the most sweeping and sensational statements made since the legislative litjht on the Pingree bill started, and ixmade a marked impression on the crowd that packed the committee room, and especially on those who are opposing the measure. He then showed that the Merrium law was in direct opposition to the interstate commerce law, yet the railroads did not take advantage of that fact to object to the Merriam tax because they were saving money over what they would have to pay under the former method. If at any time the earnings should so increase as to make the taxes greater than they would be under a tax on values, the Michigan Central would very quickly take advantage of the interstate act to get out of paying them. Ex-Gov. Luce was also present, by accident, he said, and in response to questions he said he thought that railroad taxation had not kept pace with other taxation, and there ought to be an adjustment. Both the Senate and House adopted very eulogistic resolutions on the death of Hon. John W. Moon, of Muskegon, who was once a member of the state senate and later a member of congress. Gov. Pingree has sent a protest to President McKinley against Customs Collector Rich, of Detroit, and Customs Collector A very, of Port Huron, working against his taxation bill before the legislature. The protest reads The collector of customs of Detroit is in charge of a lobby to defeat a bill for railroad taxation. He is assisted by the collector of customs from Port Huron. They are reportedt o be promising positions to members who vote against the bill. May 1 ask you to have these federal officers recalled and this abuse of federal patronage corrected?" A Hot Cuban Day in Congre**. ''The United States ought immediately to declare war against Spain and to maintain that war until the people of Cuba are made free from Spanish starvation and cruelty, and the government of the island firmly established as an independent republic." This utterance by Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, in a carefully prepared statement of his position on the Cuban crisis was the climax of an extended discussion of the subject participated in by several members in the Senate. Speeches were delivered by Mr. Turner, of Washington; Mr. Harris, of Kansas, and Mr. Kennedy, of Delaware, all of whom took strong ground for vigorous and instant action by the United States. Profound attention was attracted by a speech delivered by Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, one of the members of the foreign relations committee. Briefly but scathingly he reviewed the Spanish conduct of Cuban affairs and declared in the strongest terms for intervention that would mean something —that would drive Spain from control of every foot of territory in the western hemisphere. The speech was a clear, concise statement of the position in which this country has been placed by Spanish "outrages, insults and crimes." Wreck of the Maine Abandoned. Havana: Lieut.-Com. Wainwrighthas received orders to close up his work of superintending the salvage at the wreck of the Maine in Havana harbor, and to return to Key West. The battered United States flag was taken from the gaff of the wrecked Maine, where it has floated since two days after the explosion. It was taken down by an officer and a boat's crew from the Fern. Scores of brave fellows still lie entangled in the wreckage of the Maine. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. Iowa's legislature lias voted to expend $500,000 in equipping her state if war is declared. HE W H J i El. Delay of President's Message fDid Not Alter the Situation, DONS BECOME VERY BRAVE, (itmeral Low Ordered to Leave Havana— Other Americans Have Fled—Woodford Ktnidy to Quit Madrid—DonionMtratlon AgaluHt Havana Probable. Washington: When, after conferences with members of the foreign affairs committees of both houses of congress, the President decided, at the last moment, not to send in his message last Wcdnesiluy, the reason as stated was to ullow Americans more time to pet out of Cuba. Important action by Spain in conceding American demands was also believed to have something to do with the delay. A feeling- of the greatest disappointment was manifested in the House when the word went around that the message from the President would be hold back, and many expressed the feeling that there was a trick in it. Republicans anxious for action said that if lives of American citizens were endangered the delay must follow. Madrid dispatches said that a ministerial crisis was imminent and it was asserted that a proclamation of the queen regent, announcing- an immediate armistice in Cuba, would be issued at once and that a peace would be negotiated with, the insurgents in which American demands would be conceded. Later developments showed, however, that Spain's part in the delay of the message was merely a scheme to gain time, she hoping that the powers would be uble to induce the United States to submit to mediation. To this end representatives of the six powers of Europe seeking to avert war called on President McKinley. The governments of Great Uritain, France, Germany. Austria, Russia and Italy were represented. Sir Julian Pauncefote. the Iiritish ambassador, acted as spokesman and expressed the wish of the governments represented that war between the I'nited States and Spain should be averted. President McKinley replied to the point, declaring that this nation desired a pea-ccful settlement of the Cuban question, but made it plain that we should continue our ""earnest and unselfish endeavors to fulfill a duty to humanity by ending a situation, the indefinite prolongation of which has become insufferable." Madrid dispatches then made it clear that Spain had no intention of giving up Cuba. Gen. Correa, the Spanish minister for war said at the close of a cabinet meeting: "The cabinet considered every aspect of the situation on the information of the foreign and colonial minister* anil pftp^riaiiy in tha No Focwlffii 7.J<'i:i!;iUoB t o b o The movement of the powers of Europe for a joint offer of meditation between the United States and Spain haw received a severe and probable fatal rebuff inifche.fosc* °f * definite refusal on the part of the Hritish government to participate in it. The project is distinctively of Spanish origin, and was set on foot by two influences, official and personal, the former requesting the good ofltces of the chancellories of Europe to prevent war, while the queen regent attempted personally to influence the sovereign. France was' the prime mover in the suggested meditation, and by her counsel it was suggested to the British foreign offiee that the powers unite in a note to the United States and Spain offering to meditate in the disputes between those two countries. Great Urituin, however, definitely refused to join in the movement. The empei\>r of Austria is the most interested from certain standpoints, t u financial interests seem to have light of the reports of the ministers of war and marine. The outcome of the deliberations was the adhesion of the government to all its previous decisions without modification, and resolutions to that effect were adopted. War is the better of two evils. It is better to fight foreigners than to fight Spaniards rising in indignation if their honor and dignity are trampled on it for it." The cabinet minister also decided to appoint a cominiltee to organize and superintend the national subscription to increase the strength of the fleet. That Gen. Woodford, the. United States minister, regards the situation as more serious than ever is shown by the fact that he sent his family to France and has himself taken up his residence at the American legation. He reported that he is ready to turn his papers over to the British consul at any moment. After these facts had become known Washington dispatches assumed a decidedlv bellicose hue. There seemed to be no longer any doubt as to the purposes of this government with respect to the situation in Cuba. War, in the opinion of the administration, is inevitable, except in the unlooked for event of a surrender on the part of Spain at the very last moment. Consul-General Lee was absolutely ordered to leave Havana before Sunday, the exodus of Americans, including consuls from the other portions of the island, having been almost complete. It is expected that a naval demonstration will be made before Havana. actuated France even more than dynastic interest actuated Kinpemr Franci^ Joseph. Emperor William of Germany is known to be lukewarm in the matter, but there is reason to believe he learned that the majority of German* are unwilling that Germany should oppose the United States. It is still uncertain whether the continental powers will finally offer mediation. Now that Great Uritain has cold-shouldered the matter, the diplomats do not be* lieve the United States would accept such an offer, the combination being so evidently biased in favor of Spain that Spain would gl&dly SUJ«4^ her quarrel to such a. tribunal. A special dispatch from Rome says a telegram received at the Vatican from the United States has announced the failure of the pope's intervention. It says that President McKinley showed himself* extremely sensitive of the initiative taken by the \ ntiff, but it was imposs ble for hitnl<> overcome the prejudice, even though it may be unjust, entertained by a nrijority of the American people against the Vatican's intervention in political affairs. The pope is very much disappointed at the reception of his overtures. Washington: European interference in American affairs will not be tolerated by President McKinley. Relieving an acceptance might establish a precedent for future interferences in questions to which the United States may be a party and in line with the historic policy enunciated by President Monroe opposing European meddling with affairs affecting this government, the administration has decided that if there is to be mediation it must be mediation with Spain for the independence of Cuba and not mediation between the United States and Spain, k 8hlp« Sent to Hrtng Gen. Lee Home. It is reported from Washington that a fleet of six vessels has been dispatched to Havana to transport Consul-General Lee and other U. S. consular officers, as well as all Americans who may desire to leave the island. The state .department has received a dispatch from Consul-General Lee saying that in ease war is declared he will require a week to get the American citizens out of Cuba. He was promptly author- [ ized to charter as many merchant vessels in Havana harbor as he deemed necessary . for the speedy and safe transport of American citizens. In response to representations from Gen. Lee. the treasui'y department has telegraphed Dr. Brunner. the quarantine officer at Havana, directing him to permit all Americans who desire to do so to leave Havana without certificates of examination. The exodus of Americans from Cuba became a big rush and showed the anxiety over the situation at Havana. The Capture of Porto Rico Talked Of. The most important of the latest actual war developments is the decision of the strategic board of the navy department to. make Porto Rico the objective point of the flying squadron. This great rich island is 800 miles east of Havana, is certain to be the first Spanish base of supples, and its capture would seriously interrupt all sea communication between Spain and Cuba. It is fully believed by the naval experts that a naval demonstration against San Juan would result in the fall of the island, and this womld be the most vital olow that could be struck at Spain's strength in the Antilles. After the war the island could be held by the United States pending the payment of any war indemnity. This would have the advantage of not in any* way involving the' United States in the direct solution of the Cuban problem. , / THE WAR SITUATION. While President McKinley was engaged in writing- his message to congress tremendous pressure was being brought to bear upon him and upon members of congress to avoid war at any price. The President was told by Dr. Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Herald of New York, who has been aiding in the distribution of supplies in Cuba, that if war was declared over 150,000 reconcentradoes. now nearly starved,., would die for lack of food and medicines which we could not then supply and Spain would not. Senators and Representatives were flooded with letters^ petitions and appeals to prevent any action looking toward war. These came from chambers of commerce, boards of trade and business firms in large cities and were the result of an organized propaganda having its origin with certain high officials and eastern stock manipulators. Many of the congressmen, knowing the feeling of the country was for war rather than for a dishonorable peace, made hot replies to the effect that "there are some things worse than war; and* some things better than money." Gen. Miles, commanding the army, after conferring with Secretary Alger. has ordered a large number of sample canvas'uniforms, with a view to their general introduction as a light and serviceable field uniform by the U. 8. army—particularly in the Cuban campaign. Havana is being provisioned and a supply of coal secured sal&cient to last three months, evidently i» tt tion of a seige. BREAD, POTATOES and MILK. A Dyspeptics daily diet.

Jt is rumored that over 200 lives were lost. Dispatches from Alt. Vernon, Ind., about 30 miles from Shuwnectown, and other points thereubouts confirm the first reports. Shawneetown is a city of :!,000 inhabitants on the Ohio river, and is situated in a valley of extremely low land, with hills skirting it in the rear and with a US-foot levee in front, running from hill to hill. The town is very much in the position of a fortified city, and when the levee gave way a mile above the town under tiie pressure of the very hijjh river, the water shot through a UO-foot opening and struck the plaee like u hurricane, sweeping everything lief ore it. The streets were parallel with the river, the principal business street being but two blocks distant from the water. The levil of the river is about 15 feet above the city and the levee bank is about 20 feet thick. .It was known that a slight break had been mude in the levee, but as it was built by the government and was regarded as impregnable, the people had not feared a serious flood. When the flood broke through like a tidal wave houses were turned and tossed about like boxes. The people who were at home sought refuge, in the second stories and on house tops. Those in the streets were carried before the avalanche of water and probably a majority were drowned. Citizens went from the place by skiffs to a telephone several miles away and asked aid from Evansville. They said that more than L'OO people had been drowned, and they had reason to be- i lieve that it would reach 500 or even 1.000. The water stands from -JO to 30 feet all over the'town. It is reported that the flood now extends four miles inland, and people are flee'ri-^ for their lives from the lowland hamlets. Later.—Twenty-three known to be dead, a possibility that the list may reach 30: l..">00 people in actual need of the necessaries of life. TOO people homeless, and damage to the amount of S-JIMUNH) is the net result of the flood which swept through Shawneetown.111. OVERWORKED WOMEN. Letters to Mrs. Plnkham From Women Who Have Been Helped From Sickness or Health. • i The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a ceaseless treadmill of work. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous syteem unstrungt The following letteWrom Mrs. WALTEB S. BANTA, Sparkill, N. Y., tells tHe story of many women, and shows them how to get relief: "DKABMRS. PINKHAM :—I cannot thank you enough for all Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. When I wrote to you I had suffered for years with falling, inflammation and ulceration of the womb; my back ached, and I was so much distressed I could scarcely walk. I was a burden to myself and did not care whether I lived or died. "I have taken five bottles of your medicine and it has done wonders for me as all my friends can testify. I can now do my own work, and do not know how to express my gratitude to you for the good your medicine and advice have done me. I owe my life to Mrs, Pinkham." Mrs. Pinkham's counselisoffered free to all women who need advice about their health. Her address is Lynn, Mass. Mrs. P. H. HUTCHCROFT, Kel lerton, Iowa, tells here in her own words how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: "DEAB MRS. PINKHAM:—I was in a very bad condition before I wrote to you and began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did not know what to do. I suffered terribly every month, when on my feet would have such a bearing-down feeling, was very weak, womb was swollen, back ached, appetite was very poor, also had trouble with my head. I have taken several bottles of your Compound and cannot say enough in its favor. I t helped more than all the doctors."

"DotoOtheis as You'd Have Them Do to You" is a beautiful song anil ohorns by Will L. Thompsou, East Liverpool, O., author of "Come Where the Lillies Bloom" etc. It lias caught the popular fancy, and is now the great "hit" of the season. Pub-j lished either with mixed or male chorus. Send k20 cents to the author. A politician says that "when a man leaves our side and goes over t% the other, he is a traitor and we always felt that there wasj a subtle something wrong with | him. But when a man leaves the [ other side find comes • over to us, then he is a man of great moral: courage and we always felt that1 he had sterling stuff in him.--Ex. That is the difference in the way most people see it. Geo. Spiegelberg tells the biggest snake story that has reached us this year. Within the past two weeks he has killed seven ; blue racers, six of which averaged five feet apiece and the other measured two feet. Think of it, thirty-two feet of snake! If any of our readers doubt this statement, Mr. Spiegelbefg* says for: them to call at his farm and iu-j epect the remains as he has laid them aside for proof to the skeptical.— Dexter Leader. If all spring chickens were as tender as the feelings of some people concerning what is said in the newspapers or on the public platform, there would be less fault found with the cook and -more pleasure—expended duringthe process of digestion. A newspaper's duty is to. make a record of the news. If you don't like the record, don't mnke that kind of news. An act that isn't fit to be recorded in a newspaper is not fit to be preformed upon the streets or in public places.—Ex. Treasurers report then read and approved.

Crop Report. March was an usually warm month, the average or mean temperature in the southern part of Michigan being about 7 degrees above the normal The fields were bare of snow in this section after the 9th of the month, and excepting the northern part, throughout the southern peninsula after the 14th. Rains were frequent and heavy, and the total excessive at many points, as 6.G8 inches at Howell Junction, 0.16 inches nt Olivet, 5.51 inches at Coldwater and in excess of four inches at a number of stations. Since April 1, the weather has been less, favorable. There was sufficient'snow fell on the first of the month to cover the ground, but it soon melted away and by the night of the second had mostly dissapeared. From the second to this date (April (5) the temperature has ranged low, in the southern part of Michigan being about 7 degrees above the normal. At Lansing the maximum temperature the first five days of the month ranged from 28 to 37 degiees and the minimum from 16 to 2'"» degrees. This continued cold weather with high winds is surely injuring wheat but it is yet too ^arly to estimate the percentage of damage. The percentages that follow indicate condition April 1, or before the severe weather set in: The average condition in the state April 1, was 96; in the southern counties 95; in the central 98; in the northern 99; comparison being with average years. These percentages are higher than reported at the same date in any previous year since 1891, when the average for the state waa 96 and for the southern counties 97.

If a man were really to disc ver the north pole, his wife wouldn't let him keep It In the house. A man who never changes hiB mind is one who has so little mind that he can't run any risks with it. When a wo*nan drives a nail through the plaster and hits a beam she thinks she is the smartest person she knows. The statue of George Washington is one of the objects of interest at the capital of Venezuela. They like our George. With some women devotion to a mean husband is merely an .obstinate determination not to admit haviug made a mistake. John Lavren?e Sullivan decares he ean licU any man who offers him Span ish onious with his beans. Oh, if John could only give Don Weyler one good eoaker ox the point of his awful jaw! The loudest shouters for war are often the men who forget the fact, felicitously staged by Captain Mahan of the nav;" "Fighting means close relations with those who are trying to hurt you." Senator Hill has won the entity of- Senator Grady of the New York legislature, who says he is both distinguished and extinguished; and he is further fortunate in the praise he gets for his opposition to the Ellsworth press-gag bill. "Politics as a highly desirable profession" Is a topic discussed by President E. Benjamin Andrews, who says, "The common thought that it is mean to seek office or accept office uness it has sought the man is wholly perverse." This.is so palpably true that it ought not to need discussion. Every voter ought to^be a politician; and to cry down the office-seeker or the officeholder is to bring contempt to our system of government. William Olmsted, who died recently at Cassopolis, Mich., left $10,000 to Barnum's.circus. It seems that he was an eccentric old man and did not live in harmony with his relatives, and he decided to get even with them by leaving all his possessions, with exception of a small farm to his wife, to the famous circus. There is no way to account for the strange bequest except th"e~TnjssrbHtty tha4-J£r—Hlmsted may have received at one time free tickets for the show. The heirs will contest the will. On one corner of a Chicago street intersection myriads of workmen are at work'building one of the grandest edifices in the world. Several blocks farther down firemen are hopelessly striving to extinguish the flames that are rapidly consuming another great building. Thousands of frenzied people are striving to get a glimpse of the great walls as they crumble and fall and then a mighty, cheer goes up. Queer isn't it all. A scene of destruction attracts the multitudes, while the erection of a building that is a triumph of the centmy scarcely attracts notice. Mankind as a whole loves to witness the work cf destruction's angel. At the annual banquet of New York's Sons of the American Revolution the other night, Ferd W. Peck of Chicago presented the plan which has already received the sanction of the president and the senate for raising a fund of $250,000 by contribution from the school children of the United States to erect an appropriate monument in Paris to the Marquis de Lafayette. President HcKinley has consented to serve as chairman of a national committee to be composed of the governors of the several states; the senate has already passed and the house will probably adopt a resolutiomauthorizing its appointment, under whose auspices a celebration will be held on Lafayette's birthday, in' September next, in every schoolhouse in the United States. Spain cannot scare up an ally In all of Europe. Thanks to the great American plan. "No entangling alliances with Euro-ean powe.s." Had this policy been forgotten and the unpatriotic Bayard had successfully negotiated an alliance with England we would not now have a friend in Europe. As it happily Is, they are all our friends—all except poor old Spain. European friendship is more marker! in the case of Russia, France and Germany, than in England. We are England's commercial rivals; we are the commercial allies of all other nations. Neither does the Anglo-Saxon blood preponderate among us; it is only ar element of that which goes to make up the real American. Germany and Ireland ire perhapH to a larger extent the motheruountry than is England. It is therefore not likely that there will evet be' an alliance with any European, country—Englai tf especially. X A SHIP IN ACTION. WHAT TAKES PLACE ON BOARD IN A FIGHT. Stirring Se«not on Dock »nd Below—On the Call to Quarter* Every Ma* Move* to Hli Own Poit «M by Clockwork—A Terrible Moment. Few people outside the naval service know just how a war vessel goes into a fight. To put a battleship like the Iowa or Indiana in thorough readiness for action ordinarily requires about two hours, though, of course, it can be done in much lets time in case of urgency. There is one' thing thai makes it a comparatively simple and oidetly task. On board a lighting vos>noi every iua:i has a certain 4ssi«nel post and a certain task,laid out for him with which he is perfectly familiar. This nolda true from tho captain himself down to the little coolies \vn J v/nlt on table for the different messes. When the signal is sounded it brines ev\.ry man to his place, and long familiarity makes the work, so involved and complicated to the eyes of an outsider, a mere matter of routine. If a ship engages an enemy unexpectedly, so that there is not the usual time for preparation, the call to quarters is sounded immediately and the men take their places in divisions. In this case each division attends to a part of the work of clearing the ship, but ordinarily the first signal is. "Clear for action." At the boatswain's whistle and the verbal command the men move to their (In Command of Atlantic Squadron.) positions, those whose places are on deck forming in squads under the direction of the different officers. The captain takes his place on the bridge. Later, when the battle begins, he will go into the protected conning tower, through the narrow slits of which he can watch everything that takes plare on deck anil the movements of the euemy as well. But for the present.while the preparations are being made, he must decide the general plan of action, how the guns are to be used, and th? class and nature of projectile on which he will depend. All l>t><k* Cleared. Near the ia, ain st;<m.'s the navigator, who will have change of the hannlllng the fire buckets with which to put out a blase should one be started up aloft. The carpenter, under the direction of the navigator, sees to tfce during the engagement is firmly laihe«l Into place, where It will not interfere with the work. The topmen, who are removal of awning stanchions, hatch walls and*, every light object that is not essential to the management of the ship. The chronometers and other delicate Instruments are carefully gathered up and laid away below, to save them from destruction by concussion. The torpedo division gets out its apparatUB for sending torpedoes, and spreads the Intercepting nets over the ship's the officers move to :helr ?t>'!"»:s. If the chip is a monitor the baitle hatches are closed, and the men at last hear the final command,for which they hare bten impatienUy waiting At that moment, the doors of tbe mag- -M1U« are opened, and the mtu who form the dlffeient chalm of scuttles begin to pass the cartridge cases up to the deck. The delivery of ammunition Is In charge of the gunner. In modern naval fortunes <vio gunner Is not, at many landlubbers suppose, the man who fires the cannon. lie is a warrant officer, and his position Is a most responsible one in time of action, for he must see 10 the prompt and WOMAN AND THE WHEEL. from th% Qax4ttfit Debuearc, Ohio.

The engine fires are started up and steam Is made as fast as possible, for a modern battleship is intended to go into action under a full head of steam. The steam and bilge pumps are rigged and the magazine squads stands to i'.s post, but the magazines are not unlocked until the signal for action. The keys, however, are delivered to the < f fleers of the powder division by the captain at the first signal. When the ship is cleared the call to quarters is given ard the mm ta'<e their places in divisions. The mm squads stand to their guns and male? them ready for use. The hatches, except those that will be used, are covered with gratings and tarpaulins, the carpenter collects his men and with tne armorer stands ready to repair any damage that may be made by the enemy's fire or the recoil of the ships cannon. A man with a head linr- is placed at the well and dining the steady delivery of cartridges, Bhells and projectiles to all the guns. The chief gunner takes his position on the berth deck, where he can note the progress of the work. His chief assistant is below the main magazine superintending the handling out of powder, and a quarter gunner is in ON THE GUN DECK, dling of the biiip during in a engagement, the signal officer and the various aids. First of all. the decks and working spaces are cleared. The spars, rigging and boats are secured. Everything movable that will not be needed in charge of the little platform high up in the mainmast, haul up arms and ammunition and make everything ready in their lofty quarters, even t) will make frequent soundings to discover if the vessel is injured below the< water line. The hose squad is placed in charge of the fire apparatus, ready for instant service. Chemical fire extinguishers are used on all the United States warships now, and hantl grenades are placed in e e y quarter of the ship. Every precaution is taken to secure the instant stamping o:;t of fire should it start in or near the magazines. Tl«e "Hull Doctor." Down in the sick bay the head surgeon, or "bull doctor," has bien directing the laying out of cots, instruments and bandages. One hatchway, as near amidships as possible, is always left open for the passing down of wonnded men. The surgeon may hav<i no oall on his services, but the luie in every quarter of a battleship is, "B^ prepared for the worst, and hope f r the beat."

The chaig^s are passed up from th? magazire in wooden cases, which are painted black, with the size of calil.er and charge painted in large white letters en the side. They are passed out of the magazine to a man who .-en-Is them up to the lower deck. Then they are passed through a slit in the ma?azine screen—a heavy canvas curtain which is intended to prevent the possibility of sparks reaching to the powd2r stores. From this screen carriers lake the boxes to the nearest powder scut tie, where they are passed up to the gun deck and thence to the cannon themselves. For moving ammunition various mechanical appliances, including electricity, have come into use. No N«««d to Hurry. A pleas.tut n.o..ai«, siy.^uly dressed old lady was ooaudmg a car in isew \ork, and the "smart Alex" conductor shouted in her ear: "Hurry up there! Step lively! Be quick!" He looked as if he were on the point of pushing her bodily inside the car, wher., to his great surprise, she stopped short, and. looking him full in the fa'ce. said: "Young man, it is not worth while to be in such a hurry. You'll get to hell soon enough." O«trleli Firm in Texa*. T. A.

"I don' t quite understand , David, " she said at last. He drew a long breat h of impatience . "Look here , Elsie, " he said, "I am young, rich, decent-looking , and not a bad sort as fellows go. But it's no use my comin g and offering you the devotion of a lifetime; you wouldn' t believe me if I did—you'd kaow it was a lie, and I don' t want to begin by lying to you. But I can offer you all the rest of my life, and I swear I'll do my level best to be a good husban d to you—I swear that. " Elsie fairly gasped. "You are asking me to marr y you, David? " she cried. "Of course I am, " he answered . Ther e was a dead silence for a few momenta . David, Bore and hurt , desperatel y anxiou s to get his future settled so tha t lookin g back would be a folly, and repinin g nothin g short of a sin, stood waiting for her decision , while Elsie turne d away to th e window and looked out over the fields, a thous - and bitte r thought s chasin g each othe r throug h her brain . It was all over with Dorothy , and Doroth y had evidentl y chpsen another ; Elsie was sure of that , thoug h David had not said so. And David had turne d to her in his trouble—ther e was comfor t in that . But Doroth y had his love still, she was certai n of that . You could see it in his haggard face, his nervou s manner ; hear it in his defiant voice. Man y and majiy a tim e she had picture d him comin g wooing her. She had fet her hand s fall idle in her lap, and- her sewing lie neglected , while in fancy she had seen him turnin g in at th e gate or comin g in -At th e door, with his mout h half sm><Jn g (as she had seen it for Dorothy' s sake), his cold eyes lighted up with a tepdernes s as dear as it was rare ; but in all her dream s Elsie had never picture d "him comin g like this, haggard, nervous, brusque , impatient , brutall y truthfu l and just, to ask her to make a bargain , in which love should be left out of th e reckoning ! To offer her his body—while she knew his hear t was all Dorothy's ! Oh ! it wag a drear y wooing, a hard , hard -hareainfo r her to make or mar . "Well," said he, after a ~rolnute~~or - gt'Lhui by ties two, "what do you say?" "Is Dorothy going to be married?" Bhe asked suddenly. He winced at the question, but he answered it readily enough. "Dorothy is married," he said steadily. "Oh!" and then she gave a great sigh and looked at him with piteous, yearning eyes. "Well?" he said, "I am waiting." "I don't know what to say," she burst out. "No! And yet I fancied you liked me better than- the other fellows i-ound about." His tone was half-bitter, half-reproachful, as if his last hope was leaving him. The girl was touched by it instantly, and turned quickly to him with both her hands outstretched. "Oh! David," she cried in a voice of pain, "you know that I have always—always —liked you—but—but " "But what?" he asked coldly and without taking the outstretched hands. Elsie let them fall to her side again. "You have not said one word about caring for me," she said, in a trembling, timid voice. CHAPTER XXIV. AVID began to feel that his wooing, which he had fancied would be so easy, was going to prove more difficult than he had any idea of. He had believed a l w a ys that he had only to hold up the prospect of being mistress of Holroyd for Elsie to simply jump at the chance, and here, to his intense surprise, was Elsie demurring to take him because he had said nothing of love. "If I were a liar," he said roughly, "I should have come and made love to'you. I should have pretended that I had been mistaken In thinking I had eared for Dorothy. I should hare •wor n I had sever loved any one but Ton. And by-and^by you would have found me out, and then we should both be wretched. As it is. I came and told yo« honestly all that m in my heart. I—I—asked you to help me over this bad time, because I thought you loved a s and would bear with ps because «f poor W*e. As it is, never mind. ther e are plent y of women who will marr y me willingly enough , to be the mislreas of Holdoyd. " "David, " she cried, as he turne d toward the door . He looked back—his han d still upon the handle . "Well?" he asked, "is it not so?" In tha t one momen t a dozen thought s seemed to go crowdin g throug h th e girl's distracte d brain—a vision of Hal - royd, with ita rich red gables, its Btately avenue of horse-chestnuts , its pret - ty lodge, its velvet lawns, and widespreadin g view across the great sheet of water runnin g up from the sea, then a vision of Holroy d wltht a strange woman as mistress, a vision of tha t strange woman' s childre n breakin g the serene stillness of th e place—ah! no, she could not lose him for th e sake of the one thin g wantin g which would make her cup of happines s full—in time tha t might come— and even if it did not, she would at least be spared the agony of seeing anothe r woman reigning at Holroyd . No , whatever hap - pened In th e future , whatever might come to pass, she could not , would not , dared not run the risk of losing the man she loved. In tha t brief space of time , the tru e instinc t of feminin e dignity, which always lives in a woman's heart , called for notice , but in vain—it was stifled in th e pangs of love which consume d her . "David, don' t go," she cried, in an appealin g voice, as he turne d the handl e of the door. "I only hesitate d because—because I have always loved you so, and —and I though t tha t I should break my hear t "She stopped short there , ashame d to end her sentence . David Stevenson shut the door and came across the room to her side. "You though t what would break your heart? " he asked. But Elsie shook her head . "Never mind, " she said bravely. "We won't talk about that . I will come to Hol - royd, and—and help you forget th e past if I can. " "Then that' s a bargain, " said he, drawing a long breath . He did not say a word beside, did not attemp t to touc h her, to kiss her, or act in an y way different to his usual manne r to her, excepting , perhaps, tha t he was less polite tha n ordinar y custom consider s necessar y between person s who are not boun d to- "By-the-bye, " he said, suddenly , "I have bought somethin g to seal our contract . No , you need not look like that . I only bought it yesterday. I went over to Ipswich on purpose. " DAVID, DON' T GO. He had taken a little case out of his pocket, and now held his hand out to her. with a ring lying upon the palm. It was a beautiful ring—diamond and sapphire—a ring fit for a princess. "Won't you have it?" he asked, in surprise, as she made no effort to take it "Yes. if you will give it to me," she answered. He took the ring in his other hand and held it toward her. Elsie took it with an inward groan, a wild cry rising up in her heart. "Oh! my God, will it be like this for always?" and then she put It on her left hand, whence it seemed to strike cold to her very heart, "I must go now," David said, after looking at her hand for a moment. "I'll come back this evening. I must go now. Will you tell your people, and then I'll speak to your fattier when I come? And I shall ask for an early wedding, Stale; the sooner it is over and we get settled down, the better/* "Yes," she said, faintly. There was none too much color in her cheeks now, poor child, and her blue eyes were dark with pain. DavM looked at her uneasily. "I must g«i away for an hour or two s*4 thin k U all over," ho said, half nervously. "I must have a clear story ready for your father. " "Yes." "Then—good-by. " "David, " ahe said, in an almos t In - audible voice, "you have not told me tha t you are glad or anything . Have you not one kind word for me? Ha s Doroth y got everythin g still?" He starte d as If he had been shot, but he turne d back at once and took her in his arm s and kissed her passionatel y half a dozen times. "Oh! my poor girl, it Is rough on you," he said, regretfully. "I'm a brute to let you do it." "No, no, " cried she, windin g her arm s about his neck; "no, no. I would rathe r be your slave tha n an y othe r man' s queen . Kiss me again, David. " And David shuddered . Why? With the perversity of love! The hear t tha t beat against him was beatin g for him ajone. The blue eyes lookin g so yearningly into his were prett y and true . The clinging arm s were fond and loving, but not Dorothy' s eyes; it was not Dorothy' s heart ; and he shuddered . And th e next momen t he was on his horse again and tearin g homewards , while Elsie lay in a frenzy of grief on the floor, juat where he had left her standin g lookin g mournfull y after him. Poo r child ! poor child ! dimly and vaguely she realized what she had done . She realized tha t if she had held out firmly against him and had said, "I have loved you all my life, and as soon as you will come and tell me you really want me for myself I will gladly . come to Holroyd ; but I will no t mar^ y an y man whose hear t is filled full of anothe r woman—I would rathe r live and die alone tha n that"—tha t then she would have had a fair chanc e of winnin g his hear t as entirel y aB even she could wish. She realized this withou t actuall y puttin g her thought s into language, and she dimly grasped, too, tha t by fearing to let him go she had mad e herself David Stevenson' s slave forever. CHAPTE R XXV. ELL, it happene d the very day after this, tha t Lord Aylmer mad e up his mind tha t he would wait no longer in effecting an entranc e int o th e little flat in Palac e Mansions . To do him justice, he never for one momen t suspected tha t his neph ew and Mrs. Harri s were married . H' imagine d tha t the little establishme n was kept up in a way which is nc A an uncommo n one in London , and tha now Dick was safely packed off to I r dia, he could go and make friends wit> the loveliest girl he had seen for man y iout any mor e difficulty tha n that of starting an acquaintance. To telJ the truth plainly, Lord Aylmer had seen Dorothy with Dick several months before he carried out the plan which had got his nephew safely out of the road, and had left him, as he believed, poor, conceited, deluded old man, a fair field; and to rrll the truth further and more plainly still, Lord Aylzner had fallen desperately in love with her! So desperately that he had put himself under great obligations to his old friend Barry Boynton, had set my lady's suspicions working, and had made Dick detest him more than ever, in order that he might possibly be able by hook or by crook to find favor in Dorothy's eyes. Poor deluded old man, if be had only known all! If he could only have listened to the young husband and wife discussing "the old savage," and have known all that had its home in Dorothy's faithful and tender heart! .. But then, you see, he did not, and so I have a longer story to tell you than I should have -had it all gone smoothly and well with our young couple, and they had started .their married life at the tail of a marching regiment, on an increased allowance kindly given them by a liberal and indulgent uncle. The old lord had not found it an easy matter to effect an acquaintance with the young lady in Palace Mansions; and really, when you think of it. it is not always an easy thing to accomplish, especially when there is no help on the other side! However, this morning, after having spent many hours reconnoiterlng the block of buildings called Palace Mansions, after having driven slowly up and down High street, after making many more or leas useless purchases in the High street shops, and after fretting his impatient old soul into a fever, he made up his mind that he would go boldly* up to the house, ask for "Mrs. Harris," claim a friendship with the departed Dick, and gradually work into a position of friendliness with the object of his present admiration. This admirable plan was, however, destined never to be carried out—not because Lord Aylmer changed hit mind, sot a fait of it! He carried out his part of R ao far as to ordejr bif carriage for a certain hour, and when that hour came get into it and to *>• « an order to Charles. (To os continue*.)

Williams of Grand Rapids and Hon. H. Wirt Newkirk of Ann Arbor addressad the people upon the workings of the proposed electric line. These gentlemen hfivw both seen the good of such railways and spoke from experience, making every point clear and plain. That such a line would help Pincknoy they have not the least doubt and advised the people ot ibis vicinity to push the matter along to a finish. It seemed as if they made the question of carrying freight so plain that no one will bring up the question again in the future. That just such a line would be of GREAT benefit to Pinckney and the surrounding country, we have always agreed and now that, one1 is within our reach, we hope our citizens will do their share to help in the matter and in a ehort time we will see the beautiful cars of the L.

Since the present revolution began in February, 1SJ15, this.country has seen the fertile domain at our threshold ravacred "by lire and sword in the course of a struggle unequaled !n the history of the leloTHl and rarely paralleled as to th^ number of the combatonts and the bit- ' ternesH -of the contest by any revolution of mortem times where a dependent people, striving to be free have been oppof- etl by the power of the sovenvpn state. Our people have beheld a once prosperous community reduced to roin-'- naratlvo want, Its lucrative commerce Virtually paralyzed, its exceptional productiveness 'Hminished, its fields laid waste, its mills in ruins ani its pr»oplp perishing by tents of thousands from luintjer and destitution. We have found ouraelvcs constrainert. in thf1 observance of that atrlct neutrality which our laws enjoin and wliu-h the law of nations commands, to po'l"« our ov.'n writers am* watch our own seaports in prevention of any unlawful act in aid of the Cubans. Our trade has .suffered, the capital investi'd by our MMJTIIS in Cuha lias hr>en largely lost ami the temper and forhp.-ir • •ance of our pooji^e have been so sorely tried as to 'n'cct a perilous unrp.«r nmorr-* our own citizens, which has inevittvhb found it^ expression from timo to 4ime Jn (he national legislature, so that Issue? external to our own bodv politic engross' attention and .stand in the way of Unit clo.se devotion to domestic advartee.nen* that becomes a self-contained com man- "wealth whose prlmnl ninxlm has beiMi the fivoManco of nil foreign ontjinglenaent*. All this must needs awaken arul haa indeed aroused the utmost concern on the part of this government, as well •during my predecessor's term as In my own. In April, 189o, the evils from which our country buffered throuerh the Cuban war flj w e so onerous that my predecessor made an effort to bring about a peace through the mediation of this government in any way that might tend to an honorable adjustment of tho contest between Kpatn ffTTtf tieT revolted colony, on lite *m«!a of some effective »;heme of selfgovernment for Cuba undv?r the flag and sovereignty of Spain. It failed, through the refusal of the Spanish government then in power to consider any form of mediation, or indeed any plan of settlement which did not begin with the actual submission of the tnsurgentB to the mother country and then only on such terms as Spain herself might see fit to grant. •*The war continued unabated. The resistance of the insurgents was In no wise diminished. The efforts of Spain were increased, both by the dispatch of French levies to Cuba, and by the addition to the horrors •of the strlfo of a new and inhuman -phase happily unprecedented in the mod- •ern history of civilized Christian peoples, The policy of devastation and concentration, inaugurated by the Captaln-Generuto Dando of October 21, 18%. in the province of Pinar Del Rio was thence extended to embrace all of the Island to •which the power of the Spanish army was able to reach by occupation or by military o jerations. The peasantry, Inc.udins a!l dwelling in the open agricultural interior, were driven into the garrison towns or isolated.. places he'd by the troop*. The raising and movement of provisions of all kinds were interdicted. The fields were laid waste, dwellings unroQtfd and hred, mills destroyed, and In short everything that could desolate the land and render it unfit for human habitation or support was commanded by one or the other of tho contending parties and exec xted by all powers at the.r dis- Pi'.«a). , By the time the present administration took office a year ago. ^concentration socalled— had been made effective over the better of the four central and western provinces, Santa Clara, Matanzas, Havana •and Pinar Del Rio. Tvie agricultural population, to the estimated number of 300 - 000 or more, was herded within the towns and their Immediate vicinage, deprived of the means of support, rendered destitute of shelter, left toorly clad and exposed to the most unsanitary conditions. As the scarcity of food increased, with the devastation of the depopulated areas of production, destruction ai'd want became misery and starvation. Morth by month the death ra»e increased in an alarming ratio. By Mnr:li, 1897, according to conservative estimates from ofllcial Spanish •souiccs, tho mortality among the reconcentndos. from starvation aud the diseases thereto incident, exceeded 50 per cent •of their total number. No practical relief was accorded to the destitute. The overburdened towns, already suffering: from the general dearth, could give no aid. So-c*lied "zones of cultivation" estaoiiehed within the Immediate area of effective military control about the cities «nd fortified camps proved illusory as a remedy for the suffering. The unfortunates, being for the most part women find children with aged and helpless men, enfeebled by disease and hunger, could #x>t have tilted the HOJI without tools, •eeds or nhelter, for their own support •r for the supply of the cities. Reoon- •centration, adopted avowedly as a war measure in order to cut off the resources 4>f the insurgent*, worked its predestined result. As I said In my message of last December, It was not civilized warfare; It was efctermlnattbn. The only peace it oould beget was that Of the wilderness • and tbe grave. Jn this state of affairs my admlnlatra- •tjoa found tseif confronted with the grave problem of its duty. My m«Ma*e of last EteoMnber reviewed the situation and narrated the rtcps taken with * view 10 re- ">' thi of U»- an aj> l'eving its acuteness and opening the way to eome fenn of h^noraue s^u.<.-mcnt The aasats.nation of Ire prime minister Canovas. led to a change- of government in Spain. The. former adminlutrat.ot pledged to subjugut on without conces slon, gave place to that of a more liberal party, commuted long in advance to u policy of leform lnvo.vlng the wider prin ciplo of home rule for Cuba and Pueru Rico. The overtures of this go«'<?rnment mado through its new envoy, G-in. Wood ford, and looking to an .mmediate and effective amelioration of tho condition ot tho island, although not accepted to tne extent of admitted mediation in an> shape, were met by assurances that home rule, In an advanced phase, would bt forthwith offe'ed to Cuba, wl hout " a l t .Ing for the war to end, an i that .nore humane methods shou.d thenceforth prevail in the conduct of hostilit es.

Tu thi,-} en,i I submltted, on the 27th ultimo, as :> r.». stilt of much representation au.i eo'i'el h I' d m t h ' u r t h e -a c u a . l i - the we exmy p throagli iho I'n ted Stuies min- •sler at MaariJ, proposnions to me tsp.tn- • sh government looKing to an armistice until October 1 for th* negotiation of peace with the good offices of Uie president. In addition, I asked the immediate revocation of the order of reconceiUration, so as to permit the people to return to their farms and tho needy to be relieved with provisions and supplies from the United States, cooperating with the Spanish authorities &Y as to afford full relief. The reply of the Spanish cabinet was received on the night of The .'51st ultimo. It offers, as the means to bring about peace in Cuba, to confide the preparation thereof to the insular parliament, inasmuch as the concurrence of that body would be necessary to reach a final result, it being, however, understood that Lhe powers leserved by the constitution to the central government are not lessened or diminished. As tne Cuban parliament does not meet until tne -Jen of May. next, the Spanish government would not c^j^ct, lor its part, to accept at once a suspension of hostilities, if asked for by the insurgents from the general-in-chlcf, to whom it would perlain, in such case, to ietermine the duiation and conditions of the armistice.. The. propositions submitted by Gen. Woodford iind the rep^y of the Spanish government were both in the form of urirf memoranda, the texts of which are before me, and are substantial]-.- in the language above given. The function of the Cuban parliament in the matter of "preparing" peace and the manner of its doing so arc not expressed in tho Spanish memorandum; but from Gen.. Woodford's explanatory reports of preliminary discussions preceding the final conference it Is understood that the Spanish government stands ready to give the insular congress full powers to settle the terms of peace with the insurgents—whether by direct negotiation or indirectly by mean's of legislation does not appear. With this last overture in the direction of immediate peace, and its disappoinfinR reception by Spain, the executive waa brought to the end of his effort. In my annual message of December last I said: "Of the untried rmsaures there remain only: Recognition of the insurgents as belligerents; recognition of the Independence of Cuba; natural intervention to end the war by imposing a rational compromise between the contestants and Intervention in favor of one or the otiier party. "I Bneak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thought of. That, by our code of morality, would be criminal ug- " Thereupon J reviewed these alternatives, in the light of President Grant's measured words, uttered In 1875, when, after seven yearn of sanguinary, dentructive and cruel hostilities in Cuba, he reaJched the conclusion that the recognition of the independence of Cuba was impracticable and indefensible; and that the recognition of belligerence WOM not warranted by the facts according to the tests of public law. I commented especially upon the latter aspect of the question, pointing out the inconvenience* and positive dangers of a recognition of belligerency which, while adding to the already onerous burdens of neutrality within our own jurisdiction, could not in any way extend our influence or effective offices in the territory of hostilities. Nothing has since occurred to change my view in this regard, and I recognise as fu\jy now as then-that the Issuance of a proclamation of neutrality, by which process the so-called recognition of belligerence Is hed, eou.'l ef ii.seif :uid unattended by other action, acconiplihhed nothing towurd the one end for which me labor, the instant paclhcalion of Cuba and the cessation of the misery thai afflicts the island. Turning to the question of recognising at this time the Independence of the present insurgent government in Cuba w« and safe precedents in our history from an early duy. They are well summed up in President Jackson's message to congress, December 21, 1S36. on the subject of the recognition of the Independence, of Texas. He said: "in all the contests that havo arisen out of thn revolutions of France, out of tho dispute* relating to the crowns of Portugal and Spain, out of the separation of thrt American possessions of both from thn Rur«)j»ean governments, and but of tho numerous and constantly occurring struggles for dominion in Spanish America, so wisely consistent with our .lust principles has been the action of our government, that we Wive, under the most critical circumstances, avoided all censure, und encountered no tit her evil than that jirodiuvd by a transient estrangement oi' pood will in those against whom \v, d \c Ih t!: IV .» have •llt'il tO •/. at t h e <• I ' n l t i reiuv ii h o t til 111) d ' i •n •it if bv li*. ; in.

' ' I'pon tin- issue of this threatened invasion, ihe isuk pendence of Texas m a y lv> ron.«!dcr.il a s suspended; and were there nothing peculiar in the relative sit- ' a f i . n of i h e Tnt'ed States and T xas, oiii acknowledgment of it- Independence at such a crisis eo 1.1 scarcely be regarded aa consistent with t h a t prudent reserve with which \s e have hitherto lieltK o irxrlves bound to t r e a t all similar quust. ons." Thereupon Andrew Jackson proceeded to consider tho r i l e t i n t there m;^!it be ir-'-vtcd to the Trdted States i n o i v e s n! eclf'sh interest in vi w of the former claim on ot.r part to the territory of Texas, and ii t i a ovvid [i;.ri-o.-e cf the Texatth in sceKins recn.anit on of independence a s an iiicii ent to t c ineorjKH-atiiin of Texas i:i the union: conelvMi g t h i s : ' T ih rcl'iirc, H'cins to d l ^ ' a t e 'ri s'tili !-;and aloof and mainesent at.iti'.cii', if not until one.nf the great fouigri ri-.-o^nlZ'c tlie Inieijend'.-n e ov-ernineiit, a; leas: until the or the cour e of eve:iis sha I t h a . we f ta: n oi:r Mexico it.«v!f, powirs sh.t.l of t!n- new jr lap.-e of tini,- h,i\e proved ability of th maintain the beyond e a \ i l o r dispute t h e people of t h a t c o u n t r y to •ir fe-para e s-ovt-ri'.wnty m i l to uphnlil t h e K" v !•; nnii'iit const itutod by thorn.

This extreme test was in fact applied in the case of Texas. The congress to whom President. Jackson referred the question as one "probably leading to war" and therefore a proper subject for "a previous understanding with that body by whom war can alone be declared, and by whom all provisions for sustain'..g its perils must bo furnished," left the matter of the recognition of Texas to the discretion of the executive, providing merely for the sending of a diplomatic agent when the president bhould be satisfied that the republic of Texas had become "an independent state." It was so recognized by 1-Tesldent Van Buren, who commissioned a charge d' affaires March 7, 18.57, after Mexleo had abandoned an attempt to reconquer the Texan territory and when there was at the time no "bona ride" contest going on between the insurgent province and its former sovereign. I said in my message of.December last: "It is to be seriously considered whether the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond dispute the atiributes of statehood which alone can demand the recognition of belligerency in its favor." The same requirement must certainly be no less seriously considered when the graver issue of recognizing independence is in question for no less positive test can be applied to the greater act than the lesser; while on tne other hand the influences and consequences of the struggle upon tho internal policy of the recognizing statf, which form Important factors when the recognition of belligerency is concerned, are secondary, if not rightly eliminable factors when the real question Is whe'her the community claiming recognition is or i.s not. Independent beyond peradventure. Xor from the standpoint of expedience do I think it would be wise or prudent for this government to recognize at the present time thf> independence ofthe ao-callel Cuban rep: >iic Such recognition Is not i!ecest=Rr> to enable the United States to Intervene and pacify the island. To commit this country now to the recognition of any particular government in Cuba might subject v.s to embarrass."n? conditions" of international obligation towards the organization so recognized. Jn case of ,ntervention our conduct would be subject to the approval or disapproval of such government; we would be required to submit to its direction and to assume to It the mere relation of a frledly ally. When It shall appear hereafter that there is within the island a government capable of performing the duties and discharging tho functions of a separate nation and having as a matter of fact tho proper forms nnd attributes of nationality, such government can be promptly and reidllv recognized, and the relations and interests of the United States with such nar tion adjusted. There remain the. alternative forms of > Intervention to end the war, either as an Impartial nation by imposing a rational compromise between th« contestants or as the active ally of the one party or the other. As to the first, it is not to be forgotten thnt during the last few month* the relation of the United States ha* virtually been one of rrVendly intervention ln many «avs, *iach not of itself conclusive, but »;i tending to the exertion of a potential Utf.ucr.uc toward an ultimate paoiflc re- HI:It ji.it ai d honorable lo all inurtsta concerned. \ I e spirit of ail acts hitherto has DLVI! n'\ iriiiKs-S unselh'tsh desire for peace ami prosperity In Cuba, untarnished by Ulftrivucfa between us and Spain and unstained by the blood of American citizenship. Tho forcible intervention of the United States as a neutral, to stop the war, according to tho large dictates ot humanity and following muiiy historical precedents where neighboring states have Interfered to cheek the hopeless sacrifices of life ny Internecine conflicts beyoiul their borders, Is justifiable en nutlonul grounds. It involves, however, hostile constraint upon both the parties to thf contest, us well as to enforce a truce as to guiao the «JV«'»MUS'I sottleiriMit. Tho grounds for y\i>'\\ Intervention may be ' rerty gumnritristt'cl as follows: Kirat, in the came of humunttv and to put an end to the barbarities, bloodshed, starvation and horrible miseries now existing there, and wiilch the parties to th«> conflict are either ir-ahle or unwilling to stop o ml I'M to. it is no answer to aay t Is Is al ln nnnther country, beloimrig to u not he" nal on. and N. therefore, none or our iri'-liu'ss.

CHAPTE R XXV.- -(Continued. ) "Where to, m'lord* " "Palac e Mansions. " "Yes, m'lord, " murmure d Charle s to Barker, as the y drove off, "tha t th e old codger' s don e it at last. Palac e Man - sions is th e order—that' s where Mrs. 'Arris lives, you know." "Ay," muttere d th e coachman , In reply. "And Mrs. 'Arfls'll catc h a Tar - tar In 'im, no mistak e abou t that. ' "They generall y takes care of them - selves," said Charles , with a cynicism worth y of his estimabl e master . Comin g events, the y say, cast thei r i shadows before, and Barker , who had been giving a small share of attentio n to Charle s and gossip, suddenl y pulled In his horse s with a- jerk. " 'Osses is fnclined to be playful today, " he remarked . "I dvssay the y know It is th e wrong time of year to be hi town, " returne d Charles , superciliously . , "Likely enough . 'Osses is as sensible as Christian s and sensibler tha n Borne, " Barker rejoined . As the y got over th e groun d th e "playfulness" of th e horse s did not subside; indeed , on th e contrary , it increased , an d to such an exten t tha t by th e tim e the y turne d int o th e Ken - sington High street the y were racin g alon g at express speed, with th e eviden t intentio n of boltin g as soon as they had a chance . Barker , however, knew his work and did not give the m th e chanc e at all, and by t h j time the y reache d th e corner of th e road for which the y were bound , the y were going steadily again. Unfortunately , at tha t point , however, tha t terribl e make r of mischief, th e unforeseen , happened— a little child with a balloon as large as a man' s head suddenl y let go th e strin g with which she had held it captive ; th e balloon soared away and dashed int o the nea r horse' s face; th e child screame d at th e loss of her toy; th e horse reare d and plunged . Barke' 1 administere d a cut of his whip, and th e mext momen t the y were dashin g down the road , and an elderly woman was lying helplessly in a dead faint just where th e carriag e had passed. "My God ! we are over some one, " shoute d Lord Aylmer. He was' th e kind of man who, mi emergency , always appeal s to th e Deity , whom in all his ways of life he utterl y and systematicall y ignores. "Let me get out, " he cried. Barker , who was pullin g in th e horse s with might and main , had "already cheeke d thei r mad speed, air*1 a momen t or so later turne d th e ho-ses , with a face like chalk and a dreadfu l fear knockin g at his hear t tha t th e motionles s figure lying in th e road would never move again. He pulled up just where th e crowd was gather - ing, and Lord Aylmer was out of th e carriage before Charle s could collect his scattere d senses sufficiently tc get off th e box. The crowd was gatherin g in num - bers. e*>-**y moment , and was no t only dense an J s'rorig, but curious . Lord Aylmer, however, withou t standin g on ceremony , vigorously elbowed his way to the inne r circle. "Let me pass; stan d aside. Police - man , I am Lord Aylmer—my horse s were frightene d by an inferna l balloon tha t a child was carrying . Is she muc h hurt? " "Dead faint a t present , my lord, " returne d th e policeman , who had th e woman' s head upon his knees. "I wish we could get some brand y and some water. " Lord Aylmer looked aroun d for Charle * "Charles , get some brand y and water from somewher e or other . Be quick. " Just the n a well-dressed youn g woman pushe d he r way throug h th e crowd. "Let me pass." she urged. "Can' t you see I've brough t brandy ? Stan d back, you men . Have you never seen an acciden t before? Do you want to kill her ? Stan d back!" She was a handsom e woman , scarcely mor e tha n a girl; her hand s an d face and speech betokene d tha t she w:is gently horn ; he r fearless speech put - tin g int o words what was in her mind , had th e effect of causin g the crowd to shrin k back a little. "I s she muc h hurt? " she asked. "Pretty bad case, Miss," answered the policeman, who was trying to get a little brandy down the unconscious woman's throat. "Hadn't you better get her Into my house? She can't lie here," she went on. "Ha* any one gone for ft. doctor?" "I should get her orf to the 'orspital »£ ones Jfiaa." the policeman replied. "Would you? Poor thing! I WM standing at my window and saw H siL You oughtn't'to let your coachman drive like that," she added, severely, to Lord Aylmer. "I don't; but my horses were frightened by a child's balloon," he explained. "You oughtn't to have horses that are frightened at trifles," she responded, illogically. "I think we'd ^better get her orf at once," said the policeman, "she gives no sign of coming /ound." "How can we take her? Shall I? I have the carriage here ready, and the horses are sober enough now." "Yes, my lord, I, really think that'3 the best thing we can do," the other answered. "If your man'll give me a hand we'll lift her in, in a minute." Eventually the woman was lifted into the victoria and the energetic young woman, having rushed back to her house for her hat, got in also, and supported her in as comfortable a position as was compatible with her insensible condition. Just as they were starting, a doctor arrived on the scene, took a hasty glance at the victim of the accident, and quietly got in, taking possession of the little back seat. "I'd better go—It's a bad business," he said to Lord Aylmer, realizing that he was the owner of the carriage. "Yes—ye$=Vfe had better follow in a cab," Lord Aylmer said, turning to the policeman. "I suppose you'll see me through?" "Oh, yes, my lord; I'm bound to do that," he answered. Lord Aylmer was getting more and more nervous; he got Into the cab looking white and scared, with hfs sinful old heart thumping against his •ThanKs." she answei«d. "And may I have the honor of set* tling with the cabman?" "Oh, no—very kind ol you, but I aU ways pay for myself. The Cornhill—' good-by." The cab rolled off, Lord Aylmer uncovered his handsome old head, smiled his most fascinating smile, and bowed with a profound air of respect, which was quite lost on the back of the retreating cab and its occupants. Then he got Into his victoria and said, "Palace Mansions." "Yes, m1 lord," answered Charles, woodenly; then remarked to Barker, as soon as he hopped up on the box— "Palace Mansions; even broken legs don't put 'im orff." "Seems so," said Barker. Barker's nerves were all shaken with the accident, and he would have given anything he possessed for a nip of brandy; he was not therefore, very much inclined for conversation. Meantime, as soon as they had reached Albert Gate, Lord Aylraer drew out the letter and looked at it with a grin of satisfaction on his wicked old face. "H'm. Richard Harris, E3q., e'o Messrs. Brewster & Co., dO Grove Street, Madras, India." he muttered, Oh, po you have not cut the chaln3, Master Dick; you've not burnt your boats behind you. What a fool you are, to be sure!" He opened the ietter without the smallest scruple, tore the envelope into a thousand fragments and scattered them to the winds, then settled down to enjoy the tender words beginning— "My own dear Dick," ending "Your loving and faithful little wife, Dorothy." "So her name Is Dorothy," he mused. "Strange that they should always lay such stress on their love and their faithfulness! They're all alike. I wonder who the Esther is that she talks about. Barbara Is evidently the old girl who came to grief just now. Well. Barbara is safely laid by the leg for the next few weeks. Really, it could not have fallen out better if one had planned it all. But I wonder who Esther is? 'Esther hasn't come yet,' she says, 'but may corne at any moment/ I must find out about E?ther." When they got to Palace Mansions, he saw Dorothy looking anxiously out uf th'- window. "On tr-e -watch," he said to himself, "And pretty uneasy, too." The love'y fare disappeared when the carriage drew up at the door, and the smart footman, in his glory of crimson and white, jumped dow,n and opened the door for the handsome old gentleman, who got out and went into the building. He knocked at the door of No. 3, and Dorothy, being perfectly p.lone,—had—no choice but to "go and INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM. From St. Lawreace riaindealer, Canton, N. Y.

Not because his carriage hR8 run over an elderly woman and it was likely to prove a fatal accident, not for that reason at c ;1, but wholly and solely because, when Charles and the policeman had lifted the unconscious woman into th? carriage. Lord Aylmer had picked up a letter wh'cii was lyinR face upward in the roaa.vay just wiere she had lain. Short-s'ghtedness was not one of Lord Aylmer's si^ns of appro'chir.g years, and in an i;.slant he hmi srrasneii thai, the letter was addressed to his nephew Dick, and before Charles and the policeman had got their burden safe:y into the victoria, he had thrust the letter into his pocket, with a sort of impious thanksgiving to Heaven that at last the girl j he had been hunting down for many weeks was delivered into his hand.

People who lmvo dogA that ran out and bark und snap at passers by, whether they may be on foot, awheel or driving, should either teach their canines better manners or amputate th^ir tails just back of their ears. Juries are not lenient with the owners of savage dogs when they (the dogs) bite people. Most jurymen have had unpleasant experiences in that line.—A. A. Courier. Henry Ward Beecher once received a letter from a lad asking him to find him "an easy place." This was Iris reply: "You cannot be an editor: do not try the law; do not think of the ministry; let alone nil ships, shops, and merchandise; don't practice medicine; abhor politics; be not a farmer or a mechanic: neither be a soldier or a sailor; don't work, don't study; don't think. None of these things are easy. O, my son, you have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place and that is the grave."—Buckeye Workman. A very valuable discovery has been made by Prof. R. C. Kedsie oi>-tne Michigan Agricultural College and experiment station. He has discovered a spraying mixture moiv reliable as an insecitide than paris green and which does not burn the foliage of the trees, and it costs less than four cents a barrel. I t is not patented and here are his directions for making it: Boil two xmuds of white arseui^jyid—four, pounds of sal soda for fifteen minutes in two gallons of water. Put into a jug and label "poison^- and lock it up. When you wish to spray, slak two pounds of lime and stir it into forty gallons of water, adding a pint of the mixture from the jug. The mixture jn the jug will cost forty-five cents and this is enough for 800 gallons or twenty barrels of spray. These twenty barrels will require forty pounds of lime, which will cost twenty cents more, making the total tost sixty-five cents for twenty barrels or three and onefourth cents per barrel. Its advantages over paris green are • as follows: It is cheaper, and the ingredients can be found in any village drug store; it is easily prepared and easily kept ready; it will keep for any length of time; it is uniform in strength; it does not injoxpetjie. j^aves of trees or plants; it colors the leaves white, showing how evenly it is distributed The following is given as a sure cure for heaves in horses: One pint of melted lard, half a pint of pine tar, one ounce of powdered borax. Mix these ingredients thoroughly together while the lard is hot and a two ounce drench once a day constitutes a dose. In cold weather it will be necessary Mrs. A. Inveen, residing at 720 Henry at., Alton, 111. suffered with 'sciatic rheumatism tor over 8 months. She doctored lor it nearly the whole time, using various remedies recommended by friends, and was treated by the physicians, but received no reJirf. She th n used one und a balf bottles of Chamberlain's Pain Balm which effected a complete cure. This is published at her request as she others similarly afflicted to what cared her. The 25 and 50 it sues for sale by F. A. Sigler. to warm the inixtiuv, until it becomes thin, and keep well stirred. The action of the remedy is very prompt, pronounced improvement being in evidence after tho first throe or four doses. Due regard must of course be observed as to diet; little or no hay or other bulky food being allowed; and always dampened to prevent dust. Another remo ly very similar i n character, is recommended by a well known trainer and handler of horses in Kentucky, and is even more simple than that given aijove. It consists of pure mountain pine tar applied to the tongue by means of a wooden paddle once a day, allowing no food but grain, free from dust, and the animal kept as quiet as possible. In a few days, says this authority, the horse will begin to cough up great quantities of effete matter from the lungs, and with a strict continuance of the treatment, an unusually bad case of the heaves wns cured, which had baffled the skill of eminent veterinarians. I t is urged that a horse which has once been the victim of heaves should never afterwards be fed on clover hav and other kinds should be given him sparingly.

Bi«r bond and stockholders are not in favor of war, but they can go to Europe until the trouble is over. It is the Moor man who must remain and fight. Every advance in war engines is a swift advance toward universal peace. As soon as the mastery of mind over force and matter becomes so complete that annihilation can be speedily and surely visited upon hostile armies or fleets the human race will be under an unbreakable bond to keep the peace. The Canadian parliament has killed a bill designed to prevent the circulation of Sunday newspapers. In less eventful times such a measure might have become a law, for cont./vatism runs high across the border; but even the Canadian mind is fain to recognize that in these momentous days tfle publication of the Sunday journal is a response to an imperious public sentiment. The hint that M. Zola may yet be accorded practical freedom, although his sentence of imprisonment and fine may be left hanging over him, indicates that his prosecutors are at last becoming tired of U\e war they have been making upon him. The government is evidently anxious to hurry the Dreyfus case out of sight, but it is doubtful if it will be permitted to do so with such a conspicuous example of unjust judicial methods standing uncorrected.

There is^s. serious question in our mind whether the practice of christening ships) should be perpetuated. We cannot see that it is either necessary or beautiful. They should be named, ef course, under such simple forms as may setm desirable, but why treat them as though they were human beings with souls to save and "christen" them? , If we christen ships at all, surely the employment of water con&tituts the nearest approach to sacrilege. Wine or spirituous liquor at least saves the performance from the charge of burlesquing holy things. But why christen them at all? , A prominent publisher died recently who was also a large manufacturer of paper, the manager of a city bank and of two stock farms, and who had been a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, with the attendant expenditure of time and money. So great were the man's abilities, and so admirable were many of his qualities, that bad he devoted himself exclusively to any one of his many pursuits he would undoubtedly have achieved a great success. As it was, he failed of election to the desired office, the paper-mill collapsed, the bank was closed, the stock farms proved a loss, and the newspaper was hurt. Harassed by too many oares, the man grew nervous and ill, fell a victim to narcotics and died -suddenly. The goal is sooner reached by one road than by a dozen.

Spain Places Uncle Sam in a Very Embarrassing Position, CEASES HOSTILITIES IN CUBA, Cuban Repreuentatlves at Wanliinirton Kay It 1* a Spanish Trick to Delay Action Proponed by United 8tatc»— Spain HtlU l'rt'parlug for War. After repeatedly, and with much force, declaring that she would never submit to the United States interfering with her rule over her colonies in the western hemisphere, Spain has been brought to a very different state of mind. In all of her talk of grunting an arm stice ami giving Cuba autonomy Spain lias taken pains to insist the United States should withdraw her naval forces from the vieinity of Cuban .waters, and should leave the Cubans to act for themselves without physical or moral support from the United States. As the war clouds darkened ami there seemed to be no chance of avoiding a struggle between lTiiited States and Spain the latter backed owuy down and officially announced that the queen recent hail granted an armistice without conditions: The note further stated that her majesty's government hail granted liberal institutions to the island of Cuba, which the coming Cuban parliament would develop; recalling the condolence and sympathy expressed by the queen regent and her government on the disaster of the Maine and the horror this disaster had occasioned to Spain's heart, 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 question to experts designated by the maritime powers of the world. The Spanish minister at Washington delivered the documents in person to the state department. He notified the authorities that word had come from Havana that den. Blanco had been prompt in executing the orders of the regent, and that the proclamation of armistice had been duly promulgated. The first effect of this will be to bring about a complete cessation of all Spanish hostilities throughout the island. It remains to be seen how far (len. Gomez and the insurgents in the field entertain this view. If they reject the armistice, Spain is not likely to continue it and thus the resort to arms will continue as it has been during the last three years. There is little doubt, however, that strong inilu- -TH-TK brought to h induce the insurgents to suspend hostilities, so that terms for ;i romplete settlement may be reached. It is pointed out that the influence of the pope was relied upon to a considerable extent with the insurgents, as th<ev are a part of a country which is thoroughly Catholic and loyal to Home. While tu4? influence of the great powers is not likely to be exerted in any material way against the insurgents, yet this influence will be brought to bear as far as possible from every moral standpoint. The influence of the United States government also will be a very material factor in case the present crisis between the United States and Spain is averted and the armistice is accepted in Washington as a tentative ground for the solution of the Cuban problem. Till' I\!e"«m;«i In tin* Si'imtr. Previous to tho reading of the message Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, had made a hot speech iu which he declared that the people of the United States k'are pretty nearly unanimous that the time for negotiation upon tho Cuban question is past; the present is. u ea.se for neither pope, prelate nor presbyter. They believe that further negotiations mean further time for the concentration of the Spanish naval forces, and for general Spanish prepartions for war. They believe that bloodshed will be averted or diminished by prompt action of the goverument. not by declaring war, but by making war in self defense before Spain can secure further naval or military advantage; that intervention should be armed, immediate and impetuous; that not merely a stable, but a republuau form of government should be given the Cubans; that the Spaniards should get out of Cuba. For these purposes they believe the army and navy of the United States should be utilized until Cuba is free and the Maine is avenged."' After the reading of the message Senator Stewart, of Nevada, made some remarks bearing upon the message, lie sharply criticised the position taken by the President saying it seemed evident that the proposed intervention would precipitate what would prove to be a war of conquest. He hoped there would be no intervention that did not recognize the rights of the Cubans who had been struggling for years for their independence. The Maine disaster, alone, was in itself an act of war and this country would tie fully justified in proceeding to extreme measures on that subject. The people, said Mr. Stewart, had put the crime against the Maine ahead, in point of consideration, of every other feature of the Cuban question and they would most heartily approve of war with Spain to 'wipe out the stain upon this country produced by that foul Spanish plot. Senator Hutler, of North Carolina, said that it was perfectly evident that the message just read did not mean the independence of Cuba, for which the patriots of.tho island had so long been struggling. The President, said lie, merely asks us to authorize him to stop the war in Cuba. He, therefore, offered a resolution recognizing the republic of Cuba as a separate and independent nation and demanding that Spain at once withdraw her land and naval forces from Cuba, also directing the President to use, if necessary, the entire land and naval force of the United States to carry the resolution into effect. Another message from the President transmitting the Cuban consular reports was1 laid before the Sen-ate, and after being read was referred witli the accompanying papers to the committee on foreign relations.

The attitude of the insurgent advis- ; ers at Washington is that of rejecting the armistice. Senor Quesada of the junta declares that the armistice was simply a Spanish trick, designed to create the impression that the insu.r- j gents were unreasonable. This opinion seems to be the one which has crept into many minds. The press of London and Paris appeared almost unanimous on that point and when the talk of (Jen. Correa. the- Spanish minister for war is taken into consideration it gives a deal of credence to the surmise, lie says: "it is an error to say that the government ha* granted an armistice to the rebels. 1 would never give that before leaving the ministry, because it would be the same thing as recognizing the belligerency of the rebels. The government has granted the wishes />f the powers that she should cease hostilities during the delay which (icn. lilalico judges prudent for preparing peace, i The armistice is not to prevent the Spanish government continuing its military preparations and placing the peninsula, the Canaries, the lialearic islands and Porto Rico in a state of defense." Iteftponitiblllty Now on President McKinley has at last submitted his message on the Cuban situation to congress and the future of the relations of the United £ttofees with Spain and to Cuba now rafllt wfeh the representative body <A Hit- Miion. No message in recent such widespread and Xo message was ever listen*! t* wHh more close attention by both prfleries and members at both ends of the tapitol. yetLthere__5Eaa nof--p*rticulajr' I There was absolutely no demonstration either of approval or disapproval from the 'Crowded galleries .in the House .throughout or at the conclusion of the reading, but there was a sharp burst of applause from the Republican side when toward the close the President said the war in Cuba must cease. At the conclusion of the reading about half the Republicans applauded and several of the Democrats groane.d. The message was referred and the House took up District of Columbia business. C'ommltU'eH Take Prompt Action. The following day the Senate spent in discussing the Cuban situation and three more resolutions declaring for Cuban independence were introduced. In the Ilou.se the Democrats attacked President McKinloy's policy as vacillating and tending to coerce the Cubans into accepting Spain's plan of autonomv. (Jen. Grosvenor vigorously defended the President and said lie was working for the innependence of Cuba. <;*'n. Lee and Americaus Quit Havana (/en. Lee and other consular oilicials, Mi.ss Clara Harton and her Red Cross assistants, and over 300 other Americans left Havana on the steamers Olivette and Evelyn and the dispatch boats IJachc and Fern. Large crowds of Spaniards witnessed their departure and hissed and jeered them and as a farewell greeting yelled, '"Get out. Yankee swine."' (Jen. Lee replied in a vigorous manner, '"Tell Gen. 'Blanco for me that the Fern is the last ship of the America!: navy that will ever go out of Havana Mirbor while the Spanish fiag flies over Morro.*' (Jen. Hhinco had refused to see Lee before he sailed. As the Fern passed the wreck of the Maine a bottle of champagne "and glasses were produced and (.Jen. Lee offered this toast: "Here is to the officers and men of the Maine, which was blown up by a Spanish mine." The Americans all arrived in Key West somewhat the worse for wear, a the voyage was rough.

Gen Lee receiver orders to proceed to Washington, am after a brief reception he went aboan the Olivette which sailed for Tampa and there a special train was waitinto convey the consul-general to Washington. It is reported that Gen. Lee carried to Washington evidence that a complete system of mines was planted in Havana harbor by Gen. Wejrler. and he The second day after President Me- Kinley's Cuban message had been rereferred to the foreign relations committees of the Senate, and House both committees reported resolutions demanding intervention in Cuba by the United States. Two reports were presented by the Senate committee. The majority report was submitted by ChnirmaiV Davis and was as follows: Whereas, the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Culm, so neiir out* own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States; have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, us they have, in the destruction of a I'nited States battleship with xliiii of its ollicers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, ami cannot longer be endured, HS has been set forth by the President of the United States, in his me-sage to congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action of congress was invited: Therefore, Resolved, That the people of the island of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. That the ['resident of the United States be and is hereby empowered and directed to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into actual service of the I'nited States the militia of the several states, to such an extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. The resolutions were accompanied by a lengthy report which wus a thorough review of the Cuban stuation and gave.the grounds for offering the resolutions. The Maine disaster receives particular attention and after speaking of the patience with which the people awaited an olHcial investigation into that terrible affair the report says: "That investigation has been made. It was conducted with judich'r thoroughness and deliberation. The dilticulty of demonstrating by conducive proof the efficient personal cause of that sinister event was the usual one have power to establish their government. Independence and sovereignty g-o hand in hand, and any people who huve independence havo the capacity and the rig»ht to exercise sovereignty." Mr. Foraker declared that an attempt on the part of the United States to establish a goverument in Cuba would be an act hostile to the Cuban republic. He said that intervention by the United States meant war with Spain and that we should recognize the Cuban republic and go hand in hand with (Jen. Gome/, and the 33,000 men he now has in the field and the ."ifj.OOO to f>0,«)00 more who would be with him if we would but furnish them with arms and ammunition. (foirn.7,' force could "speedily evict the Spanish battalions from the island of Culm. If we will only with our navy blockade the harbor*so that they can take no boats nor provision-, ia the Cubans will speedily put an end to the war and there will be no ne'CvsiLy fur this government to expose cur troops to the ra'vages of y_el_!_ow fever and to other diilii ullies and disadvantages that would uttend a campaign in that island in the rainy season." I Mr. Foraker showed by > n!enmt ionul authorities that if we should intervene, without recognizing the Cuban republic the United States would IH'-'OUJC responsible for the SiOO.OiKUM.i Sounish- Cuban 4 percent bonds held in France. Germany and the United States. Mr. Elkins. of West Virginia disputed this point. Mr. Foniker referred to the Maine disasterbriefly but with telling effect. As he closed he wn.s heartily congratulated by the Democratic Senators, but the Republicans glumly kept their seats. Mr. Lodge followed with an appeal for action in preservation of the nation's honor and in wiping out the stain of the "atrocious murder" in Havana harbor. His words so reached the heart that the galleries wore swept with a treinen'1' us wave of applause. lie declared 1 . i the destruction of our ship, accorf irjL' to Gen. Lee's testimony. was celebra.e 1 with bin o nets and champagne by the Spanish onicors in Cuba. Senator Lodge said that Gen. Lee had advised the foreign relations committee against reco^ni/.m<r the insurgent government. U o u i i ' I'us.m's ( l i e R e s o l u t i o n s .

The government «.f Spain for three years' past h;is been waging war on t h e i.sland of Cuici against a revolution by the inhabitants thereof without iTiu-kimfl-ajrvL-^ crimes. Xo such difficulty, however. obscures its oilicial and •re-spon.sible cause." The report .says the explosion was strongly linked with a series of precedent transactions which show clearly the Spanish animus against the United States." Concluding its reference, to the destruction of the Maine the report say.s: "The duplicity, peru'dy. and cruelty of the Spanish character, as they always• have been, arc demonstrated .still to continue by their manifestations during the present war in Cuba. All the-.e circumstances considered cumulatively. warrant the conclusion that the destruction of the Maine was compassed either by the official act of the Spanish authorities (and the aseerUnnnicnt of the particular person is not material* or was made possible by n negligence on their part so willing and gross as to be equivalent in culpability to positive criminal action." The report then concluded with a review of the uncivilized and atrocious methods of warfare 'pursued by Spain, not only against the fighting patriots of Cuba, but also against the peaceful men. the old men and the women and children. * Following the presentation of the reports and after Mr. Hoar had insisted that consideration of the resolution go go over for the day on a point of .order. came two of the most remark able speeches yet delivered on ihe Cuban question. Mr. Koruker, of Ohio, and Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, both brilliant and impassioned orators, presented different phasesof tho situation. Mr. Foraker u.dvocated'the direct recognition of independence of the "Cuban republic and with an eloquent?1 and vehemence seldom heard in the Senate, splendidly maintained his position, lie both praised and criticised the I'resident's message and showed that the majority resolutions differed materially from the President's position. He said that it was a matter of "grave doubt as to the r'ght of congress to empower the President or for the congress itself to create and establish a stable government in the island of Culm for the benefit of the Cuban people. However that may be, after the committee had. declared that the people of Ihe i.sland are and of right ought to be free and independent, the proposition that the President or the congress or any other exterior power should establish for the people a government stable or otherwise was inconsistent. IsTa people be free and independent as we have in this first proposition declared that the people of Cuba-arer-tfaey and they alone /.rres.s towards the s ppiw-ion of said revolution, and has coii'ducii-t! the warftiie in a manner contr;n'y t<-li:elaw^ of nations by methods iiii>tn;.,:n anil uncivilized, causing the dratii i>v starvation of more than '.'d.'.d:!-: ii:n>Kvnt non-combatants, the vii-;iii,s ' >\;i/ tor the most part helpless winuen and children, indicting intolerable injury tu the i ommerciiil interc>ts of the I'nited States, involving the dc-t rue; ion of the live.-, and property of inany.oi our citizens, entailing the expeuiht'ure of millions of money in paiiviiiug ouv coasts and policing the hi^'li seas in order to maintain our neutrality: ;> •!•.!. \\ hereus.

The coirjh w.t.s extremely distressing, especially at night, and was frequently attended with the spitting of blood.

I have been very successful in Manitoba, ami have more than doubled my cp-,u'^ since I went to Canada. I took about ?L\500 worth of wheat, 200 bu.oheh oi Uax and 600 bu:-:hels of oats; I do mixed farming. I mi!k as n.any as ten cows. Dairying and stock raising hat laid me well. I have on the farm now 44 head of cattle and 18. head of horses, and sold during the past year, 1S97, 5425 worth of fat cattle. I'have good buildings and a comfortable hov^e and good stab'e. My children have had better school advant^os in 'Manitoba than they had in Minnesota. The district schools are very thorough and good. My son, now 1C> years of .age is teaching the public school in ou. district, and receives i salary of $420 per year. All my children have doiu well at school. I have SI.700 insurance on.my buildings on the farm. 1 also own my personal warehouse, and ship all my grain through it to the railway station at Dominion City. It is rree of debt. I have no prejudice against the state of Minnesota, as I made a living and a little more while in the state, but would not take a farm as a gift ii Minnesota and leave Manitoba. Tht taxation in Minnesota was too great I paid taxe3 on my stock and chattels No sucn taxes have «ver been exacted in Manitoba from me, and my lam tax is about one-half or less than it was in Minnesota. I am delighted with my new home, and expect in a few rears to be in circumstances that will enable me to take life easy. Yours, very truly, S. G. MAYNES. P.

The message was in substance its follows: '"It becomes necessary in the lipjht of the history of the lust few days to make recominemlatio s to the legislature of Michigan in additioily to those contained in the message from me delivered at the opening of the present special session. Deeply ' as the fact must^jo. deplored by all citizens who have the welfare of the comtry at heart, the United States may be on the verge of a foreign war. If war is to come, beyond doubt the state of Michigan will lay aside for the moment all differences of opinion upon political and domestic questions. It will acquit itself in a manner worthy of its old time record for loyalty and 'patriotism. Without discussing in detail the present national situation, which is familiar to all, I would- recommend that an act be passed at once by the legislature authorizing a war loan of S.'»00,00(). Sucli part of that sum as is necessary to arm ami equip the military and naval forces of the state that may be called for by the President should be made available at once. j "It is further recommended that such ! legislation be passed as shall provide for the the reeuiting and field organization of the national guard, naval militia and volunteer militia of the state in accordance with modern military experience. The law should authorize the recruiting of national guard and volunteer militia companies to a strength not exceeding 150 men to a company, with the necessary complement of otiicers.

An anecdote about the Emperor William Is rejoicing the Germans. Yeari ago when the Kaiser wan Prince William and a student at Bonn, he went out boating with Herr Ehlers, his fellow student. Their boat got swamped and they had to call in the aid of a bargeman to put it afloat again. The prince had nothing less than a "thaler" !n his purse, and asked Ehlers to «lve the man some smaller coin. Ehlen pulled out a "thaler," saying: "Highness, let us give the fellow this sum. The third personage of the empire should be above pettiness." Prince William did not like the remark, but said nothing. Years elapBed. Th5 prince became emperor, and Herr Ehlers won fame as an African explorer. A short time ago the kaiser hauded to Herr Ehlers a number of presents to be given to the chiefs of trlbei in return for gifts sent by them from Africa. One of the imperial trlbuUa was a beautiful gold rin* with a center of diamonds. "Your majesty," said Ehlers, "thiB ring is too precious. The chiefs over there would be pleased with any sort of triflle." "Pooh, pooh, Ehlers," answered the emperor, "take th« ring all the lame, The first personage of the empire should be above pettiness."

Unless Spanish Abandon Cuba Soon Undo Sam will Expel Them by Force— Senate und Hotue has a Struggle liefore Beaohiug an Understanding. T h e United States congress passed resolutions w h i c h are to give freedom a n d independence to the long oppressed And suffering people of the Island of ^fuba and which are practically a declaration of war against Spain. T h e reso l u t i o n s were passed o n l y after one of Che hardest fought battles between the t i r o houses of congress in years. T h e Struggle w a s on the question of recogn i z i n g the Cuban republic as it n o w exists, and this w a s knocked out in conference. The preamble and resolutions 4 B finally adopted and sent to President MoKinley for approval were as fo lows: Joint resolution for the recognition Of the independence of the people and republic of Cuba, demanding t h a t t h e government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of ( h e United States t o use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into eifeet. Whereas, T h e abhorrent conditions w h i c h have existed for more than three s e a r s in the island of Cuba, so near our Own borders, have shocked the moral Ssnse of the people of the United tates. have been a disgrace to Christi a n c i v i l i z a t i o n , culminating, as—they have, in t h e destruction of a United S t a t e s battleship w i t h 2CG of its officers and crew, w h i _• on a friendly visit in t h e harbor o i Havana, and cannot l o n g e r be endured, as has been set >rth by the President of the United ites, in his message to congress of >rii 11, 1898, upon which the action congress w a s invited: Therefore. Resolved; I. That the people of the i s l a n d of Cuba are. and of right o u g h t i o be, free and independent. 2. T h a t it is the duty of the United S t a t e s to demand, and the governm e n t of the United States hereby does d e m a n d the govc nment of Spain at Once to relinquish its authority and g o v e r n m e n t in t h e island of Cuba and w i t h d r a w its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. 3. T h a t tho President of the United S t a t e s be, and he hereby is, directed a n d empowered to use t h e entire land and naval forces of the United States, a n d to call into actual service of the United States the militia of the several Mates, to such an e x t e n t as may be necessary t o carry these resolutions into effect. i 4. T h a t t h e United States hereby I disclaims a n y disposition or intention \ to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction i over the island; except ; fbr the pacification thereof, and asserts | fis determination w h e n that is accom- | plished to leave t h e government and ; -dbntrol of t h e island to its people. T h e week w h i c h congress devoted to t h e discussion of the question r and the passage of the resolution was t h e most e x c i t i n g and momentous in m a n y y^ars. S o o n after President McKiniey's recent Cuban message h a d been referred to t h e foreign relations comm i t t e e s of t h e Senate and House both Committees reported resolutions dem a n d i n g intervention in Cuba by t h e U n i t e d States. T w o reports were pres e n t e d by the Senate committee. The majority report w a s submitted by Chairman Davis and was practically t h e resolutions finally adopted, w i t h t h e exception of the fourth section, w h i c h was added later by Senator Teller, of Colorado. The minority report i n t h e S e n a t e w a s presented - b y Senators Tnrpie, Mills, Daniel and Foraker, a n d favored "the immediate recognition of t h e republic of Cuba as organised in t h a t island, as a free^independ e n t and sovereign p o w e r / a m o n g t h e nations of t h e world.'' It w a s t h i s minority report, w h i c h w a s accepted after three days' debate as an a m e n d m e n t t o t h e majority resolutions, that caused t h e s t r u g g l e b e t w e e n the Senate and t h e House. T h e resolutions were accompanied by a l e n g t h y report which w a s a thor- ,uigh review of t h e Cuban situation and gave t h e grounds for offering t h e resolutions. T h e Maine disaster received particular attention, and the report laid the responsibility for the terrible affah directly upon Spain. During the three days w h i c h the Sena t e s p e n t i n debate before a v o t e w a s j reached nearly 50 formal speeches were made on the Cuban question, nearly all feeing of a patriotic strain and all were listened to w i t h intense interest by the crowded galleries. All the deliverances were characterized by brilliance a n d eloquence, but it is no detraction ( Q D B t h e effect of any to say t h a t t h e ' m o s t n o t a b l e utterances were made by 1 Mr. Foraker, Mr. Daniel, Mr. Wolcott i a n d Mr. Spooner.

T h e m i n d * o f Senator* i*d* nn as Herrljr a s ' f o Amer- The Hou.-»e did not require so l o n g to to take action, b u t made up in intensity of feeling for w h a t w a s lacking in dignified debate, a n d af tar one of the most exciting and memorable days i ° its history, by a vote of 333 t o lQ,«iflapted a resolution w h i c h w a s as follows: Resolved, T h a t the President is hereby authorised and directed to intervene at onco t o stop the w a r in Cuba to the end aud w i t h the propose of securing permanent peace aud order there and establishing by the free action of the people thereof a stable and independent government of their o w n in the island "of Cuba; and the President is hereby authorized and empowered to use the land and naval forces of the United States to execute the purpose of this resolution. Tho brief discussion in the House w a s marred by u bitter and acrimonious display of partisan feeling. Duri n g the h e i g h t of tho excitement the lie was passed between Mr. Brum (Rep., Pa.) and Mr. Hartlett (Dem., Ga.) and a disgraceful scene followed that almost descended to the level of a free fight. The sergeant-at-arras w a s called upon several time times to restore order. The last day of the Senate debate on the Cuban resolutions saw the adoption of resolutions for the independence of the Cuban republic, by a vote of 07 to 21, as a substitute for the House resolutions which w e r e merely for intervention to i»top the war of Spain on Cuba. All day l o n g the contest w a g e d w i t h un earnestness, energy, ability and eloquence seldom equaled even in the Senate of the United States. From 10 o'clock i n the morning until the moment of the final vote, at 9:10 o'clock in the evening, the intensity of the interest did not abate for an instant. Under an agreement limiting the duration of the speeches, except in specified instances to 15 minutes, every Senator w h o so desired hud an opportunity to express his views. No less than 25 Senators addressed themselves to the momentous question under consideration during the day and while, under the rule, elaborate arguments were impossible, the speeches were' characterized by an impassioned force and eloquence rarely heard iu or out of the halls of the American congress. When the Senate substitute for the House resolutions was received by the House it w a s at once seen that it was unsatisfactory to the leaders, o w i n g to that portion w h i c h declared for recognition of the Cuban republic as it exists. This portion was cut out and the resolutions were then concurred in, and returned to the Senate. The latter body refused to concur in the action of the House and a conference was agreed to. Messrs. Davis, Morgan and Foraker being appointed as conferees. The Speaker of the House appointed Messrs. Adams (Rep.. Pa.), Heatwole (Rep., Minn.) and Dinsmore (Dem., Ark.) The first attempts of the conferees to reach an agreement were futile and it PRESIDENT S k N3 U L T I M A T U M . was reported to both houses that thev hud not reached an agreement. In the Senate Mr. Davis then stated the points of disagreement, that there had been no difficulty to agree to the Senate resolution as amended by cutting out the recognition of the Cuban republic, but the point of contention arose over the insertion,of the words "are,and"in the first section, which says the people of Cuba "are, aud of right o u g h t to be, free and independent." The Senate conferees had yielded to the House in the matter of recognizing Cuban republic, b u t insisted that the words "are, and" should be retained. T h e Senate supported its conferees and at 9:40 p. m the House asked for a further conference. This w a s agreed to and then while a w a i t i n g a report both bodies spent the time in discussing t h e situation rather informally and w i t h frequent recesses, w h i l e a number of the members of the House assembled in the lobby and s a n g patriotic songs. At 1:45 a. m. t h e Senate received the second conference report which w a s to the effect t h a t t h e House conferees had yielded as to t h e words "are, and.w < Within 15 minutes the Senate had adopted t h e report, and at 1:55 a. m. adjourned. <• In the House as soon as the conference report had been presented, Mr. Adams moved the adoption of t h e report. T h e galleries gave cheer after cheer as t h e resolutions w e r e read. The demand for t h e previous question cut off debate, and Mr. Bailey, of Texas, and Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, both appealed for a few minutes' time. Mr. Adams refused to yield time for debate o w i n g to t h e lateness of t h e hour. Mr. Johnson protested indignantly. Mr. Bailey demanded the ayes and noes and t h e roll w a s called. T h e previous question w a s ordered, 171 t o 121. The conference report was t h e n adopted by the House, 310 t o 0. Great applause. At 2:43 a. m. the House adjourned. T h e U.

Spanish Minister Demanded HIH Passports _ and Left Washington. The day upon w h i c h President Mc- Kinley signed his named t o the resolutions passed by congress for the independence of the Island of Cuba w a s a day w h i c h w i l l mark an epoch in American history. The President sigued the resolutions in the presence of several members of the cabinet and a few friends, and used a pen furnished by Secretary of War Alger for that purpose. A tew minutes before affixing his signature to this momeutous document he formally approved a note to Spain w h i c h bore the signature of Secretary Sherman and which w a s subsequently cabled to Minister Woodford. This note was sharp and decisive in its terms and directed the American minister to hand a copy of the resolutions to Premier Sagasta and state to him that the United States would not permit Spanish forces to remain in Cuba. The minister was instructed further to await the reply of thc-Spanish government, unless in the meantime he should be handed his pussports. The ultimatum was ulso sent to the Spanish minister, Senor Polo y Hernabe, by one of the trusted employes of the state department. The messenger w a s not kept w a i t i n g long at the legation, but soon returned to the state department with the minister's application for his passports. This request was complied w i t h and a few hours thereafter the Spanish minister, his suite and family departed for Canada, having placed the affairs of Spain iu the hands of the representatives of Austria and France. . This left the next move to be made by Spain, and in the meantime the preparations were pushed with all possible haste, to proceed to place the naval and military forces of the United States in position to execute the w i l l of congress. It seemed most probable t h a t as soon as Spain's reply should be received the entire fleet at Hampton Roads would be ordered to Key West and operations begun against Havana, Porto Rico and other Spanish ports. A blockade of Havana will doubtless be effectivelj' instituted, and whether an assault is made upon Havana or not naval officers do not doubt that it will soon capitulate unless the Spanish fleet should meet w i t h marked a n d m o s t unexpected successes. Call for Volunteer*. The House passed as an emergency war measure a bill empowering the President t*> call out the volunteer forces and providing for their organization. Both the President and Secretary Alger had urged the imperative necessity of the passage of the bill and and Chairman Hull of the military committee drove it through under whip and spur. The appointment of all regimental officers are to be made bv the Spain Gives U. S. Minister His Passports. BLOCKADE OF HAVANA BEGUN U. 3. TROOPS SENT S O U T H .

The District of Columbia militia forces have been offered to the government by Gen. Harries and there is some expectation that these will be the first of the m i l i t i a forces to be drawn into the government service. The military enthusiasm has spread throughout the capital, usually so undemonstrative, and the city is n o w brilliant w i t h the Stars and Stripes. Arrangements have been made by the war department for the transportation of troops from southern ports to Cuba. The government had no difficulty in securing a sufficient number of first-class steam vessels of good speed for t h e purpose. It was deemed advisable to charter rather than to purchase these vessels. They w i l l be assembled at t h e various points on the Atlantic seaboard and the gulf coast most convenient for the embarkation of troops. Infantry, cavalry and artillery from all parts of the country poured into Chattanooga, Mobile, N e w Orleans and Tampa, t h e cavalry being principally a t Chattanooga, where Maj.-Gen. Brooke and his staff of the department of the lakes arrived from Chicago to assume command a t the Chickamauga camping ground. The trip of the soldier boys from their posts in the north and west w a s a continual ovation in each case. Nearly every r a i l w a y station w a s decorated along the routes of the troops. At every hamlet and village t h e flag w a s in evidence and cheering crowds everywhere greeted the military trains. T H E > i E W S CONDENSED. Gen. L e w Wallace, the famous soldier, diplomat and novelist, w h o w a s 71 years old April 10, has formally withdrawn from the race for the U. S. senate from Indiana, and announced that he w i l l enter the army and fight for Cuban independence. The guards at the Columbus pen organized, a company of 70 men for the war and offered their services t o t h e governor. Deputy Warden Dawson is their choice for captain.

The state department received a cablegram from Minister Woodford at Madrid stating that he had been handed his passports and _had been notified that official relations between the United States and Spain were ended. The cablegram said that h^ had been given t h e passports before he had had an opportunity to p i e s j n t the ultimatum transmitted to him for submission to the Spanish government, the delivery of the ultimatum t o Minister Polo y Hernabe having been accepted by the Spunish government as a formal announcement on our part. The administration in a public statement announcrd that it regarded the action of the Spanish government as rendering unncessary further diplomatic action on the part of the United States, and further stated that it regarded the course adopted by Spain as one placing upon that country the responsibility for ^ i e breach of friendly ! relations. Immediately upon receiving his passports Minister Woodford placed the American legation in Madrid and American interests in Spain generally in the hand of the Rritish embassy. He then instructed Consul General Howen, at Barcelona, to cause all the Americans consuls in Spain to immediately withdraw from the country, and at 4 p. m. Mr. 'Woodford boarded a train which carried him from Madrid t.) France. An immense crowd had gathered at the station composed of all classes. Shouts of "Viva Espana.; ' resounded throughout the station until the train w a s fairly outside. This was not meant as a kindly farewell, but a strong force of police and civic guards maintained order. A detachment of civil guards accompanied Gen. Woodford to the frontier. The retiring minister maintained his usual calmness, but looked worn and fatigued. Hasty conferences were held at the White House and Secretary-Qf the Navy Long urged that the flying] squadron should at once sail south from Hampton Roads and that Capt. Sampson's fleet at Key West should be ordered t o Havana.—The special cabinet m e e t i n g Regular Arjnjr forces^ Cqnpentmted at Points of Easy Access to Cub*. De- ided the most warlike step taken by t h e war department in preparing for t h e possibility of an encounter w i t h Spain was inaugurated w h e n orders were issued for the concentration at four points in the south of six regiments of cavalry, 2!i regiments of infantry and the light batteries of five regiments of artillery. At Chickamauga there will be six regiments of cavalry and the l i g h t batteries of five regiments of artillery; at N e w Orleans eight regiments of infantry; at Tampa seven regiments of infantry, und at Mobile seven regiments of infantry. Sines fhc civil war no such proportion of tho army has been mobilized. The heavy batteries of artillery iu each of the Ave regiments mentioned w i l l remain at their present posts. T h e t w o n e w regiments of artillery recently authorized by congress have not y e t been recruited to their and in addition are not w i t h horses and other quisites of service, and full strength, w e l l equipped necessary retherefore are not included in these orders. Dig Navy Preparations, Also. Several important and decisive steps in the work of war preparation were taken by the navy department. It w a s decided to assign the naval reserves of N e w York, N e w .Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland and Michigan to the five auxiliary cruisers to be k n o w n as patrol boats. These are the Prairie, Dixie, Yankee, Yosemite and either the Venezuela or Yorktown, which has just just been purchased. The department also decided to charter all four of the magnificent American line, the St. Louis, St. -Paul, Paris and N e w York. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt notified Lieutenant-Commander Wilkes, of the Michigan Naval lirigade, that the brigade w o u l d be assigned, as a w h o l e , to the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, formerly El Sud, of the Morgan line. She will be in the second line of defense, patrolling the north Atlantic coast, from Boston to Maine. The Michigan boys feel h i g h l y complimented o w i n g to the fact that t h e y were the o n l y interior brigade assigned to a vessel on the first call. NOTES ON T H E WAR S I T U A T I O N also determined h o w to begin the execution of the plan of campaign already prepared by the strategic boards -of t h e army and navy departments. T h e immediate result w a s t h e order for the North Atlantic squadron to begin the blockade of Havana and all t h e ports in Cuba or at least all of those connecting b^v rail w i t h Havana, aod so l i k e l y to be used t o supply" t h a t place i n t h e event of siege w i t h food and m u n i t i o n s of war. The North Atlantic squadron under Capt. Sampson's command m a k e s a splendid array of fine vessels, comprising battleships such as the Iowa and .Indiana, monitors like the Puritan, Terror and Amphitrite; armored cruisers like the New York, flagship, protected cruisers, such as t h e Detroit, Cincinnati, Marblehead, and Montgomery; gunboats like t h e Vicksburg, Wilmington and Annapolis; regular torpedo boats, as the Ericcson, Gushing, Winslow, not to speak of t h e large number of fast yachts and other vessels that have recently been added t o t h e fleet by purchase. The n e w s of the actual b e g i n n i n g of war w a s received w i t h gravity a t t h e department and there were m a n y speculations as to the destination of the Spanish squadron. One s u g g e s t i o n was that it was heading to cut off t h e fine battleship Oregon, n o w on it w a y from the Pacific coast around to join Capt. Sampson's command. Cubans at Key West w e n t wild with joy over the passage of t h e independence resolutions. There is great interest in European governments and commercial circles, over the possibility of privateering in the event of war between the United States and Spain. It is generally recognized t h a t Spain intends to make privateering a conspicuous element of the campaign. The prevalent opinion that t h e United States will not embark in privateering produces an e x c e l l e n t impression T h e Cuban junta at N e w York has given o u t a statement that t h e "resolutions a s they stand, are t a n t a m o u n t to the recognition of the Cuban republic. T h e declaration is t h a t t h e people of Cuba are free a n d independent, w h i l e t h e Cuban people a c k n o w l e d g e allegiance only to the republic of Cuba, w h i c h t h e y have established and maintained by force of arms." Senator Thurston has introduced a bill m a k i n g permanent annual appropriation of 82,500,000 for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of t h e National Guard and of ¢300,000 for t h e improvement of the Naval Reserve^ T H E M A R K E T S .

There are thauaaud* of other* who nrfl or last have tried Dr. Ayer'sfiar*aparilla and found perfect healing. One ot these others, Mrs. A. P. Taylor, of Englcvale, N. Dak. relates the following experience: "About two years ago, I nursed a lady who was suffering; ( and finally died) from blood poiuoning. I must have contracted the disease from her; for shortly after her death, 1 had four large sores or ulcers, break out on my person. I doctored for a long time, both by external application and with various blood medicines; but, in spiteof all that I could do. the sores would not heal. They were obstinate, very painful, annoying, and only getting worse all the time. At last, I purchased six bottles of Dr.Ayer's Sarsaparjlla, thinking I would §ive it a thorough trial. Before the first ottle was taken, J noticed a decided improvement in my general health; m y n p - petite was quickened, end I / e l t better and stronger than I had for some time. While usinij the second bottle, 1 noticed tbat the sores Jtad begun to look healthier and to heal. Before the s i s bottle* had been taken, the ulcers were healed, th« akin sound and natural, and my health better than it had been for years. J have been well ever since. I had rather have one bottle of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla than three of any other kind." This Is but One example of the remedial value of Dr. Ayer's SarsapanlJa in all forms of blood disease. There is n o other blood medicine that cures so promptly, so surely and so thoroughly.

Quick as -thought she walked straight to the table and turned the portrait face downwards, carelessly throwing over it the pretty lace trifle^ which adorned the top of a little chair which stood close by. She flattered herself that the old lord had not seen or at any rate noticed the action, and turned tohim eager to hear what had happened to Barbara. "Tell me, is she much hurt?" she asked. "My poor old Barbara. How was it?" He told her then exactly how the accident had happened, and how they had taken the old lady (as he called Barbara, with an air of h.'-lng himself quite a boy) off to St. George's, she being insensible and not able to tell where she lived. "To St. George's! Is that a hospital?" Dorothy cried. "Oh, my poor Barbara! She will think that the end of the world has come." "Oh, no." Shels muchbetter off than she would be in any private house," said Lord Aylmer, soothingly. "But I am most grieved and sorry to tell you that her leg is broken, and she is naturally very anxious that you should hear of her, and, if possible, that she should see you." "Oh, I'll go. I'll go at once," Dorothy cried. "Would you be kind enough to get me a cab? I won't lose another minute. Ob, my poor, dear old Barbara!" "May I drive Jftm there? I have my carriage at the door," he asked. In an uncontrollable burst of gratitude Dorothy put out her two little trembling h?.nds and took his. "Oh, Lord Aylmer," the cried, "how good you are! I won't keep you waiting a minute. I will be ready before you know that I have gone." She ran out of the room and caine back with her bonnet on and a dustcloak over her smart tea-gown, but not before Lord Aylmer had quietly gone to the table and looked at ihe portrait w h i f h «hp hnA an flf-roUly tli.lden, " for the thne. I wonder where I shall go to look for one?" "You don't know thiB part of London well, then?" he asked. "I don't know London well at all," Dorothy answered, "for I lived in the country all my life until I was—married." There was a scarcely noticeable hesitation before she uttered the word married, and Lord Aylmer interpreted it in his own way. "If you could trust me to find out about it, I think I know just the very person," he said. "My valet's wife she is—an excellent cook and a very clever capable servant in every way." "But would she comaf" "I think so." "But to a little flat like mine, with nobody to do anything but herself. I am afraid she is a person accustomed to a very large establishment—" "I think that will be all right, I will make it worth her while to come. No, don't look so, my dear Mrs. Harris; it will only be just and right that I should pay for your temporary domestic—It must be a frightful inconvenience, and of course it was my fault. If I hadn't been there, the old lady wouldn't have come to grief." "You are too good," murmured Dorothy, gratefully. She could not help wondering, as they drove along through the mellow autumn air, how It was that Dick had so mistaken his uncle. It seemed to her that he was all that was charming and considerate—the sort of old gentleman who does not seem old, although his hair is white and he must have lived years enough for the world to call old. It was evident to her sweet and simple soul that Dick had never really got at his uncle's inmost nature—which was true, and all the better for Dick that he hadn't. He could not, she argued, be such a savage as Dick had always made out, for why should he take so much trouble for an insignificant stranger like herself, or for an old woman like Barbara, even if his carriage did happen to have knocked her down and broken her leg? That had nothing, or next to nothing, to do with it—oh, it was plain to her that Dick as he had suspected from her movements, it was a portrait of Master Dick! He put it down again and walked to the window, where he stood looking at his handsome carriage, wi h its satin-coated horses and the two tall servants in their resplendent liveries. Iicrd Aylmer wondered how long the fascinations of a photograph would hold out against the fascinations of such a turn-out as that. And Dorothy all the time was thinking how lucky it was that it was not Lord Aylmer who b.«.d picked up Barbara, and howl that she did not notice that they had now that she had got in touch with\ reached their destination, until a him, she would be able to work things ^smooth voice at her elbow said, "Now, into a straight and comfortable state and send for her darling home again, instead of going out to India to join him. "I haven't been long, have I?" she said, as she came in. "Very quick, indeed," he answered approvingly, and added to himself, "Ton my word, but Master Dick has very fair taste—knows the right sort when he sees it." "I will put my gloves on as we go; do not let us lose any time," she said, going toward the door. He handed her into the carriage with an air of deference he might have shown to a princess, /then he got in himself and sat beside her. "Back to St. George's Hospital," he said to Charles. "Yes, m'lord," sa?d Charles. And, as ill-luck would have It, at that very instant the lady with the serene eyes who lived on the floor above Dorothy's flat came down the street In time to Bee them come out and the old gentleman hand her into the carriage—nay, in time to hear Charles' -reply of "Yes, m'lord." As if by. instinct the two women looked at one another—there was no expression in the serene face of the lady who was on foot, nothing noticeable about her excepting a cold •everUy In her eyes; It was but the glance of a moment, yet Dorothy, who guessed what was in the mind of the other, grew scarlet from chin to know and turned her head away that Lord Aylmer might sot see that her eyes were ailed with tsars. "Will you he able to get oa withoat your old servant r' Lord am <th«y drove along. "I most, tor she Dsfstay. anagea nis uncle properly, and very likely Lady Aylmer had never managed him properly either. So by the time they had reached the hospital, Dorothy had thought herself into quite a blissful frame of mind. She had built up a wonderful castle in the air, when Lord Aylmer should express, a wish, "Oh, my dear, I do wish that you were my daughter!" when she would throw off her disguise and say, "I a n the next thing to your daughter." "How?" "Why, I'm Dick's wife." She was so engrossed in her dream soul in patience, and get well as qulca> ly as ever you can." "I can't think what the master will say," fretted Barbara, J> "The master! Why, he will be as sorry as if I had broken my leg, or very nearly," Dorothy cried. "Now, dear/ here is the nurse looking at me with a threatening eye, I must go. Good-by, my dearest old Barbara, and don't worry, because I shall have my new help in tonight." 4 She stayed to ask a few questions of the nurse, chiefly about what things Barbara would need, then they drove quietly back lb Kensington. For a little way Dorothy was silent. "Poor old Barbara!" she burst out at length. "I don't believe she was ever ill in all her life before; at leaBt, I never knew her to be ill, never." "And you have known her long?" "Ever since I could remember anything," Dorothy replied. Lord Aylmer assumed an expression of surprise, mingled with assent—ha had wonderful variety of facial impersonations, he could even assunra goodness on occasion. "Comfort that old lady is safe in St. George's," he said to himself, as he watched Dorothy's lovely mobile face. She turned again to him. "How soon do you think the woman you spoke of will be able to come!" she asked. "Tonight, I hope," he replied. "Any way, I will go and see her and let you know." "But what a trouble for you!" "Not at all—« great pleasure, I can assure you," gallantly. "How good you are!" she cried, for the twentieth time. "ft is very easy to be good, If I am good," he said, smiling; "but I am afraid you judge me too kindly altogether. Then I will drop you at your house and go and see this good woman at once, come back and let you know the result." "Yes, If you will," said Dorothy. He helped her to alight and saw her safe in the house, then got into the carriage again. "To Grosmont Road," he said. "Yes, m'lord," Charles replied. "Where to now?" asked Barker, who was getting tired and generally desperate. "Grosmont Road." "Oh, my!" muttered Barker. "I wasn't surprised when broken legs didn't put 'im orf Mrs. 'Arris; but when Mrs. 'Arris don't put him orf Grosmont Road, it is a pretty go." Meantime, Dorothy had gone in to the entrance hall of Palace Mansions, where the porter of the establishment met her. "A lady for you, ma'am," he said. Then there was a pause, a rush, und a glad eryoT '"Oh, Esther! Esther!" dear lady." Somehow the tone jarred on her dream, but her e*yes were still radiant as she turned them toward him. "I HANDED HER IN. did not notice where we were," she said in a voice still tinged with the brightness of her dream. "Happy thoughts," toe said, as he helped her to the ground. "Very happy ones," she answered, smiling. They did not permit her to stay very long. Barbara was lying still, very faint and weak from the shock of the accident and the pain of her leg. She was worrying and anxious about her young mistress, aad Dorothy hastened to reassure her. "Dear Barbara," she said, "don't worry the least litUe bit about me, not a little bit I shall be Just sa well looked after as if you were there, lord Ay!- sser in going to send at oaes to s i s valet's wife, a very respectable, middleaged woman, very clever aad a good cost.

T would be impossible for me to tell you what a relief it was for Dorothy to find her cousin. Esther awaiting ner on her r e t u r n home. She cried a little, of c o u r s e , and then managed to tell her all about poor Barbara's accident "Just as welLjfor you that I turned up when I did, my dear," safd Esther, dryly"; "it might have been very awkward for you to be left alone long." "Oh, but Lord Aylmer was so kind,** Dorothy cried. • "He not only took me to the hospital to see Barbara and brought me back again, but he has actually gone off now to see his valet's wife, who is the very person to stay with me till Barbara is able to come home again." "Yes. that is really very good of him," Esther admitted. "But now, my poor little excited pale-face, I am going to make you a cup of tea. Show me the way." So Dorothy took her into Barbara's neat little kitchen, and Riss Brand established her cousin m a chair, while she put the tea-things together and made all ready. Then she carried the trtiy into the drawing room and made Dorothy sit in a big arm chair while she waited upon her and gave her everything that she needed for her comfort. "I suppose this Lord Aylmer is a smart man-about-town sort of person,** she remarked presently, as she slowly stirred her own tea round and round. "Oh, awfully old,- answered Dorothy —"at least he doesn't seem old, you know, but at the same thne he is old. His hair is as white as snow, and he has a delicious, old-fashioned, halffatherly sort of manner. And so kind, so thoughtful." "Ah, welt It is a very good thing. Really, the world isn't half so had a s it sometimes seems," Esther said, dreamily. "Well," with a Quick change of toae, "and this Disk of yours—s* is perfection, of course?"

The whole district promises to become a new center of wealth, It was upon land sold to enable the former owner to start for the gold mines of California, that the great oil wells of Pennsylvania were afterward found; and both these incidents accentuate the fact that we are continually within reach of important discoveries and great opportunities, missing them by a hair's breadth of impatience, failure to observe or lack of preparation. Some reformers at Washington have brought up the question of the desirability of changing the metals out of which the minor coins of the United States are made. After some consideration of the matter the house committee on coinage, weights and measures has reported favorably a resolution authorizing the secretary of the treasury t o make experiments to determine the t e s t materials for minor coinage and to submit new designs for coins to congress. As the result of its deliberations upon the subject, the committee has reached the conclusion that the copper cent is undesirable because it becomes dingy and dirty and by corrosion poisonous, and that the five-cent nickel, three-quarters copper, should be displaced because It i s too soft.

Curtis of Iowa spoke o n practical excellence In "beef cattle. Last fall a railroad man In Iowa had made the statement that there were 80,000,- 000 bushels of corn stored along the railroads In that state that could not be marketed at a profit. Things have 1 changed some slice, then, but there is little doubt that something like the same conditions exist now in Kansas. Within his memory there had not been a time when the outlook for cattle raisi n g w a s better than at present. Ho then gave an Illustrated talk on the different breeds as beef producers. As we have previously reported this talk, w e will omit It now. The subject of gains in beef per pound of feed was discussed. I Q.—In your experiments at the Iowa experiment station is It not shown that cattle having the same breeding and the same age differ greatly as to the •comparative gains tfaey-can- m a k e on the same food? A,—Yes, sir; there are differences, but those differences are more influenced by the manner of feeding than by the breeding of cattle. We have round that a coarse-bred animal will make more gain than a flne-fleshed animal. Q,—What advantage do you find in the Shorthorns over the Herefords? A.—Well, we have made some experiments and have not found much difference. Sometimes our experiments have been In favor of one breed and sometimes of the other. I do not think that we have carried our experiments far enough to be able to say for a certainty which is best. Mr. Norton—You spoke of that-three or four year old Hereford steer gaining more rapidly than some steers of another type. Did he not eat more? A.—Yes, sir; the big steer Is always able to make a better gain than a small one, but It costs more. Q.—Will it pay to buy Mexican steers for feeding? A — I would not advise It as a general thing. Q.-^Is their any difference between 'he Herefords and Shorthorns as to their grazing qualities? A.—I am not prepared to express an opinion. Mr. Potter.—I think there will be more tnoney lost in going 10 Mexico and other places for feeders than we are likely to make up (or some time. They will put these cattle and their expensive feed together and lose both. Professor Cothell, being called on, c aid that he agreed with Professor Cur- Mss as to the amount of gain certain n m Jla would n ak*\ but that the e w s an Immense difference in individuals as to the use they could make of the same food, even when such animals were of the same breed.

From the Republican, Scraaton, Ps, ^ T h e primary cause of dyapepeia is lack of vitality ;the absence of nerve force; the love of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. No organ can properly perform its functions when the source of nutriment fails. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation ceases, unnatural ga-es are generated; the entire system responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by tbe cose of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory S t , Scrnnton, Pa. In telling his story, Mr. Vandyke says: "Five yearB ago I was afflicted with trouble of tbe stomach, which was very aggravating.

If a man isn't clean inside, he is far from Godliness. A constipated sinner is a stench in the nostrils of the Deity. A man whose food sours in his stomach, and whose liver is leaden, caa't help looking at the world hatefully with Jaundiced eye, and con-" iuring up evil thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanliness of person begets cleanliness of thought. Cascarets. candy cathartic is the missionary medicine which purines men's bodies ijnd minds.

I was tortured with kidney troubles and inflammatory rheumatism. The doctor prescribed the pills for me which have since become so justly famous. Their use quickly eliminated the uric acid from my system and with its departure came the cure of the rheumatism and the end of the kidney troubles. It took but a few boxes to accomplish this end and I feel that I owe Dr. Doan on everlasting debt of gratitude for prescribing such a valuable remedy. I have taken great pleasure in recommending this medicine to a number of my friends. I always keep a box of these pills on hand so that should I take a severe cold and feel that it is settling on my kidneys a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills relieves all apprehension.

Whether ozone plays an important part In the hygiene of nature is a meet point, says the Lancet. Pure ozone U unquestionably poisonous. In air which is largely polluted with organic matter, as is the air of London and other large towns, small quantities of ozone obviously cannot live long. It is, of course, a powerful oxidizer, and the oxygen with which it is surcharged is soon absorbed. It is found, however, in distinct quantity in the pure air of the country, and, as everybody knows, in sea air. Its ocurrence in air is invariably connected with the existence of water, generally in motion. Thus the wind blowing over the sea waves of a lake or the air in the Immediate neighborhood of a waterfall or spray contains a notable amount of osone. Of course, osone must to some extent exert a purifying influence upon the air, but this can only be of importance when the ozone occurs in distinct quantity or when It is being constantly evolved, as over the surface of the sea.

DOWN ON _T"'"rff Of *'*"» c " " f ha Wonder-Worker. Near the little town of Woods Corners, about six mil s from Ionia, resides R. L. Pierson. Mr. Pierson, a farmer by occupation, and like all hard working tillers of the soil he has found the burdens the back must bear no light load to carry. Few people who never lived on the farm appreciate what it means to follow the plow from sunrise to sunset, but if the public in general don't know how hard such work is, the kidneys do. Long hours of work of any kind means long hours for the kidneys, and they can't stand it without rebelling. When the farmer come? home tired out at night, if he only realized that the tired feelings mostly always came from tired kidneys, and that the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would right the wrong brought on by overwork, life would be easier for him. Read what Mr. Pie?son says about his experience: I noticed when I stooped, lifted or changed my position suddenly. early in the fall of 1897, that I was always rewarded with sharp pains across the small of my bock, and in the morning I was so Jame and sore that I could scarcely Ket out of bed. The too frequent action of the kidney secretions, especially annoying at nijrht, plainly indicated that my*kidneys were the cause of the trouble. I had often heard Doan's Kidney Pills spoken about by my neighbors, and as it was the first time I required such a preparation, I procured a box. I n niced their benettrta' effects in a day or two and I continued the treat m mt until my backa he was cured and the other weakness was thoroughly relieved. T make no mistake when I say that Doan's Kidney Pills cure backacheouid kidney complaint. , Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $'2.50.

The Michigan Reserves are enthusiastic will make their patriotism felt if they get a chance at the Spaniards.

Miss Willard was probably the best beloved as well as the "boat-known" woman of the day; hence this most comprehensive and sympathetic biography, which is beautifully illustrated, will be of special interest to women al! over the world. Harriet Monroe's series of articles ou "French Women" which has been so charmingly and intelligently illustrated by Penrhyn Stanlaws, will be completed in this number.

The servant girls of Topeka, Kansas, have organized and declared that their visitors shall be allowed to enter the front door and be entertained by them In the dining room instead of the kitchen.

For families live to serve servants, and not servants to serve the family. German newspapers describe the ignorance of some of the army recruits as so remarkable that out of a group of sixty-six men, twenty-two had never heard of Bismarck. Others thought him the emperor of the French, or that lie was dead; while one brilliant candidate for the honor of being shot was mire the Iron Chancellor was a Hohenzollern. The English military journal which reports this mental poverty remarks charliab'y that analogous ignorance is found in other armies. A German, however, who has no vision of the mighty work wrought for Germany by Bismarck is clearly pre-eminent in ignorance. When Mr. Buchanan returns to Buenos Ay res as United States minister he will be instructed to negotiate a parcel- post treaty with the Argentine republic, under which small packages of merchandise, weighing not more than eleven pounds, may be sent by mail without going to the expense of securing a consular invoice, which costs several dollars. It is thought that there might U* a great deal of trade built up in this way with all South American countries, as there is with England, and those who are interested in promoting commercial relations have been trying to secure treaties for several years. The first has already been negotiated with Venezuela. The Argentine government has signified its willingness to enter into such a convention, and our ministers to other countries will be Instructed to urge negotiations on this subject. What causes the headaches and other nervous troubles which plague so many boys and girls in the schools and so many students in the colleges? Steady, cheerful and reasonable application of the mind is not bad for anybody; it conduces to fine health by developing that vital energy—brain force—which runs the whole physical tnachiDe. Probably in nine cases out jrf teD *he mischief is traceable to some kind of disorderly living, to nocturnal BxcLUments, irregular hours, or the waste of force in some foolish indulgence. Here, for instance, is the statement of an experienced physician to the effect that 70 per cent of the nervous diseases he has dealt with wer°. caused by tea and coffee. Professor Spade holds that "ihey are positively Injurious to children and young peoble, and many persons past middle life would be much better off without them." President Sent a Special Message* Asking That it be Done* SECRETARY SHERMAN RESIGNS President CalU for 185,000 Volunteers »nd They Betpoud at Once—The Port of IlHvatiH Blockaded—Invasion of Cuba llelnff Planned. Dispatches from Shanghai state that the Chinese complain bitterly of the fact that they do not possess a war port for tbe five warships which are being built for then abroad, and which are due to arrive-in Chinese waters this summer. Unless Wel-Hai-Wel, occupied by the Japanese, V evacuated, which Is doubtful, the Geuuese have no place in which to receive their new warships. Commenting on this situation the Chicago Chronicle says: "The man without a country has frequently been made the subject of more or less fanciful tales, but a national navy without a hailing port is something that has not yet occurred to romancers. Tbe Chinese nary, however, furnisher an actual Illustration of such a situation. The Pekin government, which placed contracts with English shipwrights for a fleet of warships, now finds itself without a port In which to receive the vessels. Russia, Germany, Prance and Japan have possessed themselves of every available harbor tad tbe Chinese nary may only enter Chinese ports by the courtesy of somt foreign power.

There will bo mo r, to President McKinley sent to congress a message recommending1 a declaration of war against Spain. The President referred to the action taken by the executive under the joint resolutions recently passed by congress for the independence of Cuba. He presented the resolutions to the Spanish representative at Washington and the Inter asked for his passports and withdrew. The U. S. minister at Madrid was in turn notified by the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, that the withdrawal of the Spanish representative from the United States had terminated diplomatic relations between the two countries and that all official 'communications between their respective representatives ceased therewith. The President calls attention to the note of the Spanish government conveying this information and says: it will be perceived therefrom that the government of Spain treated the reasonable demands of this government as meas res of .hostility, following with that iustant and complete severance of relations by its action, which by the usage of nations, accompanies an existent state of war between sovereign powers. The 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 haveTJieen constrained in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon me to proclaim a blockade of certain ports of the north coast of Cuba and of Cien Fuecfos on the south coast of Cuba; and further, to issue my proclamation, calling for volunteers to carry into effect the resolutions of congress. In view of the measures so taken, and with a view to the adoption of such other measures as may bo necessary to enable me to earr'y out the expressed will of the congress in the premises, I now recommend the adoption of a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain, and I urge speedy action to the enl that the definition of the international 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 the conduct of a public war may be assured. The message in both the Senate and House was referred to the committee on foreign relations. In the House the bill was reported out of the committee favorably in short order. It took the House 1 minute and 41 seconds to-pass the bill unanimously amid applause. After a debate of an hour and half's duration, conducted in secret session. the Senate passed a bill in the same language as that passed by the House. The debate in the Senate was based on an amendment offered by Senator Turpie, providing for the recognition of the belligerent rights of the insurgent Cubans, but the amendment was defeated by a majority of 14. There was no division on the passage of the bill. The following is the bill reported by the House foreign affairs committee and passed by both House and Senate: A bill declaring that war exists between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain. First. That war be and the same is hereby declared to exist, and that war has existed since the 21st day of April. A. D. 1898. including said day, between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain. Second. That the president be and he is hereby directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into fhe actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to such extent as may be necessary to carry this act into effect. Changes to McKlnley't Cabinet. Secretary of State Sherman handed his resignation to the President at a special meeting of the cabinet. The secretary's resignation was tendered in a simple note asking that it take effect as soon as his successor shall have qualified. Mr. Sherman retires from public life after a service of over 40 years, embracing the house of representatives, the senate, the secretaryship of the treasury and the secretaryship of state. The reason for the resignation is the sondition of the secretary's health. The venerable statesman is now within a few days of 75 years of age. The successor to Mr. Sherman is Wm. R. Day, who served as assistant secretary of state under Sherman. Mr. Day agreed to accept if nominated by the President and confirmed by the senate. He has had entire charge of Cuban affairs since the beginning of the present administration. John B. Moore, professor of international I»# at Columbia university, .New York, succeeds Judge Day as assistant secrets^?. Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, has notified the President that UM National Ouard of tbe st«te Is ready to wore s i it'snotioe. Under the apporrsoeatly wade IVsmsylra «ia'» quota is 10.1M 125,OOO VOLUNTEERS CALLED. President McKinley Makes tbe Flrvt Call in SO Yean. The President has called upon the people of the United States fqr the first time in 80 years to manifest their martial strength, this time the call being upon a united people to go forward to battle with a foreign foe. At the same time the secretary of war created a new army corps. This action is taken in accordance with the proceedings of congress. The call is for 125,000 volunteers. Telegrams from almost every section of the country to Secretary Alger from governors and militia otlicers convey information as to the length of tune, surprisingly short in many eases, that would be required by them to gather their forces ready for muster. The men, as fast as mustered in by regular army otlicers in the various states, will be taken to one of three grout depots, namely, Washington, Richmond and Atlanta, where they will be organized to meet the requirements *of modern army tactics. The fuct that Richmond is named as one of these points is taken in some quarters as an evidence that Fitzhugh Lee is to receive a volunteer commission either as one of the four major-generals or one of the brigadiergenerals provided for. The formation of a grand army corps in the department of the south, with headquarters at the three gulf ports, is an evidence that the government is to mo^ upon Cuba at once with the troops of the regular army, leaving the volunteers just called for to be disciplined and worked into shape for future use in the campaign. It is the purpose of the war department to secure only national guardsmen as far as possible under this first call for volunteers, yet in states where Jthereare_XLU national guards or whei'ethe number falls below the quota fixed in the call, the states will be expected to supply the volunteers regardless of their lack of organization. IJrltish Deoltiro Neutrality. (Ire-nt Hritain has published a formal notice that the warships of the belligerents, Spain and the L'nited States, must leave Kritish ports within L'4 bours. England's neutrality proclamation, which among other results has caused the American squadron to sail from Hong Kong to blockade the Phillippines as its ultimate mission, moved Portugal to serve notice on Spain that her warships must leave Portuguese ports within 48 hours. A.s Cape Verde islands arc a Portuguese possession, this step means that the Spanish fleet anchored at St. Vincent must put back to the Canaries or to Cadiz if it does not sail westward to American waters. Italy also followed (5real Hritain by issuing a proclamation enjoining upon all Italian subjects strict neutrality, Batteries Reduced in 18 Minutes by Three 4J. S. Ships. NOT ONE AMERICAN INJURED, Flagship New York, *i an boat Cincinnati and the Mouitor Puritan do Terrible Execution — SpanUh (iunnera Fire Wild—Many Spanlnh Killed. Admiral Sampson bombarded and silenced the Spanish batteries in position and in course of construction at the entrance of the harbor of Mnturmxs. Ho did it with the flagship New York, the monitor Puritan and the gunboat Cincinnati. Not one of the American ships was struck, the Spanish gunnery being wild. The number of dead ami wounded on tin* Spanish side must be considerable. While the- New York, Puritan and Cincinnati were jvconnoitering for the purpose of locating and destroying the formidable defenses being constructed the flagship was fired on by the batteries on Point Rulml Cayo and Point Maya, guarding the entrance to the harbor. The New York replied instantly. The Puritan steamed in behind the New York and engaged the fortifications on Point Maya while the New York went to starboard close up to the land and poured her shells into Kubal Cayo. The Cincinnati, which had remained well astern under orders, signaled for permission to engage and received it, and soon 'was firing shells into the fort on the west side of the bay. The batteries fired explosive shells and most of them fell wide of the mark. One burst beyond the stern of trre-New York "arid a schrapn elshot "pCuba w a s con tained exploded over her. It took the th*ve ships just 18 minutes to silence the batteries. It i.s believed that much damage was done to the town also. The marksmanship of the American gunners was remarkable, nearly every shot taking effect. "* All told, the United States ships fired 86 shots at the forts. This is by actual count. The forts fired probably yfi shots. After waiting in vain for fhe the batteries of a bay Tins wide.

Malanzas lies at the head about four miles from the sea. bay at its mouth is three miles On the west side of the bay is Kubal Caya and on the cast side Maya. These points have a very slight elevation above the sea. but the configuration of the harbor is, such as to give the batteries on them a commanding position. Far more important than the destruction of the Matanzas batteries is the conclusion about the future which may be drawn from the' bombardment. This conclusion is that Havana is absolutely at the mercy-pf• both houses of congress and signed by the President. It reorganizes the ai my into three battalion formation and authorizes the -f) regiments of the infantry to be recruited up to a total of 31,800 enlisted men. It authorizes also the recruiting of the 10 regiments of cavalry to l'.'.OOO men, the seven regiments of artillery to 10,457 men, and the engineer battalion of five companies to 752 men, including two non-commissioned officers; which makes a total maximum strength of 61,010 men. T/he bill also adds a total of 2f>y commissioned officers. In time of peace the standing army will again be reduced to its former size Enlistments are now being made under this bill. THE WAR SITUATION. The report that Secretary of War Alger is to resign because of ill health is denied. The entire National Guard of the District of Columbia, 1,800 strong, Ijao gone into camp at the.Soldiers' Home, near Washington. The navy department has ceased the purchase of ships, owing to the exhaustion of the 850,000,000 war fund. More auxiliary vessels are needed, however. ^ Holland, the inventor of the submarine torpedo boat of that name, is happy because the U. S. government has purchased his boat. For the present she will be used in the harbor defense of New York. New York's crack Seventh infantry, composed of high social and business men of New York City, refused to volunteer. The Thirteenth New York infantry and half of Delaware's militia have also flunked. The Spanish troops throughout Cuba have been concentrated at different points along the coast, so as to be ready to meet any attempt to land troops from tbe United States. Thousands of men are reported to be enlisting in the volunteer battalions. A special from Kingston, Jamaica. •ays that the U. 8. torpedo boat Cu*hin? and the Spanish gunboat Lijera hare had a fight, off Cardenas.

Admiral Sampson with puns which amount to less than one-tenth of his lighting force silenced practically three batteries in 18 minutes. He steamed right in on them as close as he could pet and not one of our ships was touched. The incident has greatly encouraged the naval officers and they believe that when they bombard Havana they will destroy all the defenses in about one hour. Planning to Invade Cuba. First Lieut. Andrew S. Rowan, of. the Nineteenth infantry, under orders from the war department, was landed on the Cuban coast somewhere west of Santiago, on his way to the camp of Gen. Calixto Garcia. He will represent the war department in arranging for the co-operation of the insurgents in the invasion of eastern Cuba by the forces of the United States. The time a,nd place of invasion will be controlled by events and the character of Rowan's dispatches. It is expected that Gen. Calixto Garcia will dispose his forces to cover a landing* of United States troops as prearranged. Rowan speaks Spanish and knows Cuba, and is an expert map maker. . ... j^: Lieut. J. C. Fremont, commanding the torpedo boat Porter, landed on Cu? ban soil and delivered to the Cuban insurgents important plans for their acin co-operating with the U. S. in the reduction of Havana. The sole purpose of Lieut. Fremont's expedition was to communicate with (Jen. Gomtii regarding the part the insurgents should play in the plan of campaign. TJie strategic boards of the U S. army and navy are being urged to supplement the pacific blockade by the taking 9f<nm port on tfee north coast of Cuba;and ©n« op the south coast, for the purpose of establishing a juncture with Gen. Gomez's insurgent troops at Sancti Spiritus and With Gen. (rarcia'8 insurgent forces in Santiago de Cuba. It is said that Gomez and Garcia have the men and the enthusiasm capable of striking an effaflttoe' blow once they have arms in haa/1, and that the otfly reason for their present inaction iastHkar^lalfcu* to have adequate ammunition forajfttong ibrward movement on the Spaniah forces.

Chattanooga: The Ninth cavalry (colored) the Twenty-fourth Infantry (colored) and the entire eight batteries of artillery how centered at Chickamauga have been ordered to Tampa, Fla., as soon as the railroad can carry them. Mobile: The Tenth aud Twenty-second infantry regiments at Mobile received ordex*s to leave for Tampa and began at once preparing for the journey. Soon afterward a train moved out from the government military camp near Mobile for Tampa, carrying supplies, escort wagons, ambulances, mules and hostlers and teamsters. It is reported that this is the first step of a movement that will finally concentrate all the troops at Mobiu at Tampa and also those at New Orleans so as to form with the troops at Tampa, a force of 8,000, to bo the advance guard of the army of occupation of Cuba. New Orleans: The three regiments of infantry here hus been ordered to leave for Tampa under rush orders. Tampa, Fla.: Col. Melville A. Cochran, commanding the first provisional brigade of Tampa division, received a telegram from Washington instructing him to hold his command in readiness for immediate departure with rations for 30 days. OlHcers here expect that all the troops now stationed at Chickamauga will be here in a few days. These troops consist of 3,000 cavalry, 10 batteries of artillery of 50ii men and 2,f)00 infantry, or a total of 0.600 men. On the arrival of these troops it is quite likely that they will be organized into brigades and regiments for transfer to Cuba. Washington: A rather striking sign of the imminence of the invasion of in the chartering by the war department of eight large steamers of an average capacity of about 2,000 tons and able to curry from 800 to 1.200 passengers each to be used as transports for the conveyance of the first .military expedition to Cuba. New York: Large quantities of clothing and supplies such a.s would be required by an army invading Cuba has just been purchased here tmd shipped to Tampa. This includes '.',()()> canvas hammocks. "»,000 felt hats, :.\50() pairs woolen blankets, 2,f>00 rubber blankets or eonchosj. 5.0:)0 pairs of shoes and 5.000 coats and pairs of trousers. It now seems certain that within a few days a strong force of the regular anny will enter Cuba ami there effect a junction with the forces of the insurgents. This move means the delivery of a great quantity of arms, ammunition and other supplies to the Cuban army. Thus fitted out the Cu ans in this country say that Gen. Gomez will vanquish quickly the Spaniards in Cuba. Gen. W. H. Shafter who, it is said will have command of the Cuban expedition, has been in consultation with Hen. Mi es, and it is believed that they wont over arefully the details of the plan to enter Cuba. (Jen. Shafter is in command of the United States troops now concentrated in New Orleans, many of whom it is understood are to form part of the invading army. of Havana. The blockade of Havana by the North Atlantic squadron was an established fact by the time President McKinleyV proclamation ordering the blockade had been published. The arrival of the squadron before Havana just about dark was announced to the city by three cannon shots from Morro castle, and instantly there was a great stir throughout the Cuban capital. Trumpets summoned the troops; the volununteers. the marines and the regulars seized their arms and hastened to occupy their respective statons. Civilians, who had not been called on to join the defending forces, armed themselves and hastened to join the troops. Orders were given to extinguish the lights of Morro castle. Capt.-Gen. Blanco inspected the batteries and issued in .tractions for increasing the forces at the most exposed points. Thousands of people fled into the country during the night, fearing that the citv would be bombarded. THE MARKETS.

Tne testimouiaU received from physician* to the value of this remedy would nil a volume. Here is one leaf signed by Rich'd U. Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md. "It affords me pleasure to bear testimony to the success which your preparation of SarsaparilU has had in the treatment of cutaneous and other diseases arising from • vitiated condition of the blood. Were it uecejsary, I might plve you the names of at least fifty individuals who have been cured of lon?-standiug complaints simply by the administration of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa- rilla. One very remarkable instance was that of a quite old woman who had lived aft Catonaville, near this city. She had been afflicted with the rheumatism for three yeara^and had taken as .she bad informed me, more than one hundred dollars' worth of medicine to obtmu relief, yet. without any beneficial result. I advised her to try a bottle of Dr. Ayer'a Sursaparilla and told her that if it failed to do her good, I would refund the money. A short time afterward, I learned thai it had cured her, and a neighbor of hers similarly aif.icted was also entirely relieved of his complaint by its use. This is the universal result of the administration of your ^arsajiarilia. U is without exception, the best blood purifier with which 1 am acquainted."

"Djar Dick," murmured Dorothy. "Yea, he Is perfection. He did hate 30 to go and leave me, but lie had to g o - ne had such a good appointment offered him, he did not dare refuse it. Still, he hated to go and leave me, Just now especially. What he would aay if he knew about Barbara, I can't think. I don't think I would »tell him, would you?" "Not till all is over," answered Esther. "It would only worry him for nothing. By-the-bye, what is he like?" "Oh," and Dorothy looked round for Dick's portrait. "Oh, here he is," hold- Ing it out to her cousin. Esther Brand took it and looked at It attentively for a long time, sipped her tea, and looked again and yet again. "Well," said Dorothy, impatiently. "I like him," said Esther, "he Iook3 good and true, and he is a handsome man, too—a fine, honest-looking, manly man. Yes, I like him—you're a lucky little girl, Dorothy." "So I think," answered Dorothy, proudly, "and Dick Is just what he looks—honest as the day, and as good is gold." Esther laughed^- ''Well, ys«=*re 4t ucky little woman to have won such i husband. I never met a man like that, or I should have been tempted to give, up my liberty long ago. Do you know, dearie, I always had a horrible conviction that you would end by mar- Ting David Stevenson, and I always did dislike David Stevenson with all my heart and soul." "So did I," answered Dorothy, promptly. For a moment she was tempted to tell Esther all about her meeting with David, then a feeling that it would be scarcely fair to him held her back, and she kept her own counsel about that matter. "Of courso there is no knowing what I might Oi1 might not have done if dear Auntie had lived," she said, wishing to explain everything as far as possible and yet avoid saying much about David's feelings for her, "and if I had never seen Dick; but then, you see, I did meet Dick, and Dick liked me, and -and " "And David Stevenson went to the wall," Esther said, finishing the sentence for her, "and a very proper and ~isuitable~pTace for him, too, my "deaf child," with a laugh. Dorothy laughed, too. "Ah! you are all very hard on poor David," she said softly. "Now, how shall we do about ri'.uner? Hadn't we better wait a lhJe and see if this woman comes, and then go into town and dine somewhere?" she said. "I can't offer to cook a dinner for you. If I did, it would probably kill you to eat it." "Just as you like. Then, couldn't we call at St. George's and leave a note to tell Barbara you have come?" Dorothy asked. "It will be such a load off her mind." "To be sure," Esther answered; and then they settled down to their chat again, and Esther heard a great deal more about Dick, and learned a great many of Dorothy's hopes and wishes about the baby that was to come before long. And presently there came some one to the door who rang gently and knocked softly. "I will go; sit still," cried Esther. She went to the door, where she found a handsome, neaily dressed woman, about forty years old. "Mrs. Harris?" she said inquiringly. "No," said Esther, "I am not Mrs. Harris, but this is'her house. Will you come in? I suppose Lord Aylmer sent you?" "Yes, madam," said the strange* respectfully. It struck Esther as a little odd that ahe»8hould use the term "madam," but she put the thought away from her almost as soon as it had taken shape in her mind. "Of course, she is a married woman, and perhaps has never been a servant at all," she said to herself; then said aloud: "Well, come in and see Mrs. Harris. I am sure she will be very glad that you have come. By-the-bye, what is you* name?" "My name is Harris, too, madam," the stranger answered, with a deprecating look, as if she had rather taken s liberty in having married a man of the name of Harris. "Dear me, how odd! Well, I suppose m? cousin will like to call you by yo%r Christian name. And that is madam*" she aaswcMd quktlj. "Oh. yea."

Why, my dearclttidi what is the matter?" for Dorothy tites lying Lack in the chair with a face as white as chalk and pinched with pain. "I am so ill," she gasped. "Oh, Esther! Esther!" Esther took firm ground at once. "Now, don't giva way, my dear; all will be well," she asserted. "Here is our help, and we will have the doctor here in next to no tiaae if you will only tell me where to send for him." . "Dr. Frauklrn, in Ylctoiia road," Dorothy answered. "But ion't leave me, Esther; don't." "Certainly not, dearest. Amelia will go and fetch him," Es.her rcurned. "I had better go at once, madam," said Amelia, quiet.y. "Yes, say 'Mrs. Harris is very ill'— that it is urgent." "Yes, madam," answered Amelia. She walked off to the Victoria road at a pretty quick pace, thinking hard as slie went. "H'm; from what he' told me, he never spoke to her before today. *Queer. I wonder i! he knows about this baby. Shall I wire him, or shall I keep the news as a little surprise for tomorrow? I'll keep it. The sight of his lordship's face will be worth-sometfctEg7"~ " = She knocked at Dr. Franklin's door and asked to see h.m in exactly the same quiet, self-po.se^sed way that she had spoken to Miss Brand, and all the time her thoughts were running on this new fancy of his lordship. •'A little sickly-looking girl, little better than a child," she was thinking as she followed the neat maid into a waiting-room. "Not, I dare say, that she's looking her best just now; but still, what he can fancy In her after a woman like me—but there . Yes, sir," she said aloud, "Mrs. Harris ha* been taken suddenly 111, and Miss Brand wished me to come and fetch you at once." "Miss Brand?" said the doctor, inquiringly. "Who is sheT "Mrs. Harris' couain, sir." "Oh, yes, yes. I see. I'll be round In three minutes—In three minutes." "Very well, sir." Amelia Harris went quickly away, her thoughts still with the old lord. "Some women wouldn't do the th.ngs he asked of them—the things he asks "OH. ESTHER! ESTHER!" of me," she said to herself; "and if they promised to they'd play him false in the end and be jealous, and all that. Not me, though! Lord Aylmer can do what he likes, and think what he likes, and go where he likes; it's all one to me so long as I'm paid for my trouble. My! he must be in earnest over th's business. Five hundred for a month's work—five hundred pounds!" By that time she had reached the Mansions, and she went in, took off her bonnet and cloak, and bustled about as only a thoroughly good worker can do, getting ready for the great event which seemed imminent, which indeed was imminent, for by the time morning light shone over London town there were two more Inmates of the little flat in Palace Mansions—a stout motherly nurse, who hushed upon her ample bosom a wee fragment of humanity, a very small and soft pinkish person, who had grunted and squalled already in quite an alarming fashion. CHAPTER XXVIII. MEL IA H a r r i s proved herself to be ail that Lord Alymer had saM she was; a strong, active and eapa»lt> woman, quiet aad quick, a good cook, wmt la and naasfer. 8s* took the ordan for tfc* day from Miss Brand and* wait off about 11 o'clock to got various things that were wanted, and among other errands *he had a telegraph form t4 hand in at the postofflce. It waa from Esther Brand to Richard Harris, and announced briefly, but to the point, "Son; both well." "It will cost a good bit, Amelia," Miss Brand said. "I don't know exactly what, but they will tell you at the postofflce. And, by the bye, you might bring back a dozen stamps for Inuia. We shall be writing to Mr. Harris by each mall." "Yea. madam," Amelia Harris answered. She was a cisver woman, that same Amelia, for she went to the office and handed In the telegram, saying, " «Vill you tell me, please, what that will cost?" The clerk added it up and told her the amount. "Thank you," she said. "I will tell my mistress." She did so; but only that the telegram had cost so much, and the money which Miss Brand had given her was short of exactly that sum. "Oh, not so very much after all," remarked Miss Brand. "We will send him another wire in a week or so to let him know low they are gjing on." "It will be a great relief to the gentleman to know all is sati&facto.ily_ ov«jr, madam," answered Amd.a Harris, In her smoothest voice. "Oh, yes, indeed," returned Miss Brand. She went then to sit beside her cousin's bed, to bid her folio w the doctor's directions and keep perfectly quiet, as if poor little delicate Doro.hy would be likely to do anything else. Then she just told her that she had sent oil a wire to Dick, aud that as rg?i>§_as__sje_iad_jjut _thing8 in trim for lunch Amelia was going to run down to St. George's Hospital to carry the great news to Barbara. "Oh, that is good! Barbara will be so anxious," murmured Dorothy, iu her sweet voice. "And Dick, too, how proud he will be! You'll write at once, Esther, to tell him everything, to tell him how exactly like him the boy is. He will be so pleased." "I expect he would rather it were like you, dearie," said Esther, smiling. "Oh, no. But you mustn't ca*l my *>oy 'it,' Esther," Dorothy deJa.ed, 'and—and you'll be sure. to tell him that Lord Aylmer has been kindness itself to me, won't you?" "But, my dear, I thought we were not to tell him about Barbara's accident?" Esther exclaimed. "No—true," and Dorothy for a few minutes lay thinking deeply. Tuen she turned her eyes back aga*n to her cousin's face. "Oh, I think you may as well tell him; you see, you are here, and the baby is here, too. Dick will know that I am in good hands. I think I would rather that you told him, after all." 'My dear child, take my advicedon't mention the accident or Lord Aylmer at all," Esther urged. "He will worry, and a worrying man la an awful nuisance." "I didn't like deceiving Dick," Do rothy protested, "No, dear, no; but one could hardly call that dece.t," Esther ansvve.ed. "Anyway, will you leave it to me? I will write on Wednesday morning, a?4 bring you the letter to read." "Very well, Esther," sa.d Dorothy. "That is better. Now, ifv I go away you will rest a little, and I have various odds and ends to do," said Esther, tenderly. One of her various "odds and eDds" was to send Amelia off to St. George'* to inform Barbara that the long-expected event had happened, and that a fine bouncing boy, the very image oi Dick—of his father, she said—was now flourishing at Palace Mansions. And if the truth be told, Amelia Hams went off on this errand without any great feeling of satisfaction, for just at that moment she particularly wished to remain in the house, having a great desire to be the person to impart the news to Lord Aylmer, when he should care to inquire for Mrs. Harris' welfare. Of course, she argued with her thoughts as she went up the road, it was just possible that he might wait until after lunch time; but then, or> the'other hand, there was not very much going on at this time of year to occupy his lordship, and she was afraid his impatient soul would bring him to look after his prey as early as be conveniently could. And Amelia Harris was perfectly right, for just as she was pyftiM?g th< Kings bridge Barracks on her way citywards, Lord Aylmer's carriage stopped at the door of Palace Mansions. Esthei saw it draw mp. .

It gives color to the blood. It brings strength to the muscles.— It adds power to the Whleh the Country WIU <)«U«4t Upon to Hen r . Outsiders can Bay nothing, though they w-ill naturally be on their guard, Bays the London Spectator. If the German dream of a mighty world-power Is really a widely held national Idea, and If the German people are prepared to make sacrifices for the attainment of such an ideal, which would be as heroic as they would be insane, they will support proposals even more far-reaching than these. But this dream cannot, of course, be realized without a tremendous collision with other powers—a collision in which the German empire would run the risk of being smashed and pulverized. For the essential point is that Germany cannot attain any suoh ideal without encroaohment; the rest of the civilized world has been before her in appropriating unoccupied lands. Let the truth be clearly stated. Germany must be content with expansion through other territorial powers, or she must, if possessed by this idea of a world-power, run the riBk of annihilation. For England the burden of expenditure is, of course, heavy, but it is light as compared with the burden which Germany will be called on to bear if the emperor's program 1B to be carried out. If there is to be a race of economic ruin Germany will arrive at the goal long before we do, and on (her head will be the main disaster. We write In the conditional mood, for it remains to be seen whether the —— r kaiser's megalomania is shared by a majority of the German people. There is~~nruW j o o S l e i n l e l i d 1 ^igofous logical judgment in Germany, to which one may confidently appeal. If, as we have said, the appeal is to be, in this case, on t&e grounds of mere insurance for German industry, we do not doubt the calculations of the people will be made, as Is usual with Germans, in a prudent and economic spirit* and in any caae criticism of such a verdict would be Impertinent. But if, as the kaiser's words and attitude seem to hint, a naval program is to cover a policy of aggression, we do not doubt that it will be fought in Germany with the vigor and determination characteristic of the people, and in that case we can only wish success to the opposition.

Wynne, in a speech at Henderson, Tex., on "Confederate Day," said: "I can never forget the equipment with which 1 started to the scenes of war. And when I describe my own I will for the most part have described the southern army at the commencement of the "waT. I naff never seen an army gun or even a company of soldiers. But in blissful ignorance of the necessary arms for a momentous struggle>like the one we were embirking in, I took from the rack behind the door at my father's home, near Blrdville, his oid doublebarreled shotgun. I got from an old bureau drawer an old rusty singlebarreied pistol about eighteen inches long, and when I put it in my b«lt it almost came dov-n to my. knees. I got a horseshoe file and had a huge bowie knife made as long as my arm. I saddled a plow horse and with a swelling bosom and throbbing heart rode away from the old home to the scene&^Athe bloody conflict, confident in myverdant youth that my own arms were equal to any in the hands of the foe. Sad to say, however, my confidence and pride in them were all too soon cruelly dispelled; for the first line of Yankees we ever encountered began to send minie balls whistling around our ears while they were yet a mile away. I threw my knife away, for I realized that I could never get close enough to a Yankee to flesh it; and to be honest, I soon learned better sense than to desire to. I discarded my old pistol and exchanged my gun for a Springfield rifle, which we had captured from the Yankees, as did my entire command." One Dollar Sailors, 75 Cent Sailors, For Summer Wear.

The different companies marched to Col. Tyrreil's quarters and publicly demonstrated their sympathy for the oftieers. Col. Tyrrell and * Maj. Howell both made speeches to the men and advised them to do nothing rash that would disgrace the regiment and its officers. They both exprestjfd regret at not being able to accompany the regiment, and hoped that it would bring credit upon itself and the towns which it represents. The speeches brought forth hearty cheers from the • boy.s. and they left in better spirits. More Recruits Needed at Canip Eaton. According to orders from the war department the Michigan volunteer regiments must be organized with three battalions of four companies each, or 13 companies, of 100 men each, to the repiment. At present the Michigan Michigan Kr£luientH to bo Separated. It is stated that when the Michigan state troops are mustered into the U. S. service each regitaent will be sent into a different brigade. This is in accordance with the policy of nationalizing the army and.so far as possible breaking up existing state brigade organizations. It is not intended to break regiments, and here state pride will have full sway, but the Michigan regiments will be widely separated in their service. It is also announced that there will be one regiment of regulars in each brigade of the army. This is important for the example of the discipline and the experience of the regular army drill masters.

At tirst Mrs. Bates intended to give this money to Harvard, but some friend in the west persuaded her to remember the University of Michigan. Dr. Hates was an alumnae of tlu> University of Pennsylvania. MICHIGAN NEWS ITEMS. National Guard comprises five regiments of eight companies with 83 men each. This will necessitate the recruiting of eight new companies of 100 men and about 700 men besides. The governor authorized the state camp of Sons of Veterans to recruit two companies toward making- up the quota. The difficulty that now confronts the governor is to select the other six companies. There are companies already organized, officered and drilled who have earnestly expressed a wish to volunteer. There are many more as yet unorganized, but whose membership lists ha vie been signed and officers provisionally selected. It is the governor's desire that all of these new companies should select for commissioned officers men from the membership of the Michigan National Guard who are qualified by character and military training to handle the companies properly. Michigan's First Regiment. Adjt.-Gen. Irish has issued a special order consolidating' the Second Independent battalion, Detroit Light Guard, with the First regiment. Michigan National Guard, making it 12 companies. Capt. Gardener is commissioned colonel. Lieut.-Col. Shubel will be retained as lieutenant-colonel and as the regiment is entitled to three majors the order commissions Maj. Hunt, as senior-major, and Capt. Harrah, junior-major. The major of the third battalion ha« not yet been decided on. Pending the mustering in of the regiment Col. Gardener will be detailed to command it, so that he will assume immediate command. It is announced that the troops will leave Camp Eaton as soon as the regiments are mustered and equipped. They will probably go to Washington, where they will rendezvous. Equipments of all kinds are on the road now and it is probable that the First regiment prill leave camp about May 15. and cither regiments will follow as rapidly as possible.

This shows conclusively that Manila has not yet been taken by the American forces and that the cable lines are still under control of Spain. From the fact that even the advices received from Madrid show that the American warships fared the best, there is hurdly any doubt that when complete details are obtainable it will be learned that it was a crushing defeat for Spain. During the two engagements that took place, Commodore Montejo, commanding the Spanish fleet, lost three of his large ships. IIis flagship, the armored cruiser Maria Rema Christina, and the armored cruiser Cast ilia were burned, and the cruiser Don Juan de Austria was blown out of the water. Capt. Cardase, commanding the Maria Christina, was killed. The blowing up of the Don Juan de Austria was attended by a great loss of life among the crew, her conTmander n i b being killed. Commodore Dewey's squadron left Sudie Haj-, a few miles from Manila, about 4 a. m. proceeded toward Manila, lender the cover of darkness he entered the harbor of Manila, the batteries located there announcing his arrival. Doth fleets lined up for battle at daybreak, about 5 o'clock. The guns of the American ships began firing on the fortress at Cavite and the arsenal of Manila. The Spanish warships opened fire under the protection of guns of the forts. After about two hours' lighting, the American squadron drew oft" to •thiwvest of the bay. The ships had evidently suffered considerable damage. After they made some hasty repairs they returned to the conflict." During this engagrnent the guns at Cavite maintained a steadier and stronger fire upon Commodore Dewey's ship than in the first encounter, but the American gtins were being used with telling effect. As the smoke lifted it was seen that the flagship Maria Reina Christina was on fire. The vessel was completely burned. In the interval between the two engagements Commodore Montejo moved his flag from the Christina to the smaller cruiser Isla de Cuba. To the fact that he had made this change he doubtless owes his life. The cru'ser Castilla, next to the flagship the largest and most powerful of the Spanish squadron, was also burned. The cruiser Don Antonia de Ulloa and the Mindanao were also badly damaged in the encounter, and at least two vessels were sunk by the Spanish to prevent them falling into the hands of the Americans. That the American squadron received severe damage by the engagement cannot be doubted. Early reports had it that five of Commodore Dewey's ships had been sunk. Later advices from Madrid put the number at two, but it is highly significant that the latest advices from Madrid and Lisbon make no mention of any American ships being destroyed. There were undoubtedly heavy losses in men on both sides. Trustworthy details of the American loss of life will hardly be obtainable until Commodore Dewey has taken Manila or has sent a vessel with dispatches to Hong Kong. Dewey Takes Manila. Commodore Dewey, according a later dispatch from Madrid, gave Capt.-Gen. Augusti 24 hours to comply with an ultimatum which demanded all warlike stores and the entire" stock of coal in charge of the government officials. The ultimatum asserted that no money levy would be made upon Manila. The dispatch says it is believed in Madrid that the government at once cabled Capt.-Gen. Augusti authority to comply with the demand, no other course being open. It is said that Commodore Dewey has demanded the surrender of all the Spanish vessels in the Philippine archipelago, threatening to bombard the forts if he is refused. It is reported that after destrojiag the Spanish fleet Commodore Dewey attacked the fortifications at Cavite, east of Manila, and destroyed them and the unfortified part of Manila, marines were landed from the American vessels and took possession of Cavite. The Spanish fortifications on Corregidor island, at the entrance to Manila bay were also reduced by the fleet. Vienna: It is positively denied in well informed circles that the powers will intervene at the present juncture. Upon bearing of th*Spaniah loss at Manila the pope was almost overcome • and said he wished be could have died before thi* war ws* begun. Uucle t^ftiu Will 8«nd 0,000 Troops JPleaty of Nappllea at Ou«et Washington: The cabinet has decided to send to Commodore Dewey the number of troops he deems necessary to enforce our control of the Philippines The adminibtratltm has practically ducided to occupy the' Philippines with u Jtrofcg military force as soon as possi ble. For this purpose Pauiflc slope troops will be used and it is expected that at least 5,000 wilt**e on route within tho next 10 days. Hen. Nelson A. Miles telegraphed orders to Urig-tien. Merriain to at once get the troops in his command ready for transportation to the Philippines, it having being decided that the Fifth and Seventh cavalry and Fourteenth and Fifteenth infantry shall be drawn upon to form a nucleus of the invuding force, and that they shall concentrate at San Francisco immediately. Enough men will be tuken from volunteer quotas of extreme western states to form an unny of f),O0U. The President •has concluded that it will be dangerous to delay. He is afraid that Dewey will have serious need for all the soldiers sent him. When the insurgents find that they are not to be given possum of the Philippines they may make trouble, and another cause for alarm is that there are a large number of Spanish soldiers fully equipped already' at Manila, and it will be impossible to restrain them. There does not seem to be any doubt as to government's purpose to hold these islands pending a final settlement with Spain, when they will be used as a collateral to secure the payment to the United States of a war indemnity. High officials are of the opinion that none of the powers will seriously dispute our right to make such final disposition of the islands as suits our purpose iu the enforcement of war claims against Spain, and in any event this government will be prepared to contest any point which may be raised. Cuban IIIVHMIOII Delayed. Owing to Commodore Dewey's big victory and the sailing of the Spanish fleet from Cape Verde islands it has been thought best by the Washington authorities to postpone naval and land operations against the Spanish in Cuba until disposition is made of the Spanish fleet, which is supposed to be headed for South Atlantic or Caribbean waters. The presence of that formidable fleet on the southern part of this hemisphere is a menace to the military forces of the United States engaged in the Cuban campaign. If the United States troops were landed and the American fleet should by any mishap suffer loss at the hands of the Spanish squadron, the troops would have to be withdrawn. It is asserted that Gen. Miles in now practically in command of the insur- II is ll i l l iil. The Reigning Spanish Dynasty Apparently Doomed, REVOLUTION IS THREATENED.

The Washington government is now in close touch with and has established communication with three army corps commanders of the insurgent forces. Every move made by Gens. Gomez, Garcia and Roderig- uez is ou the advice of Gen. Miles. Through war maps of Cuba our own commanders know the whole of Cuba better than any officers in Ulanco's army. There has been a concentration of troops in accordance with orders from Gen. Miles. The Cuban army is divided into three divisions—the army of the east, under Garcia; the army of the west, under Roderiguez, and the army of the center, under Gomez. Garcia and Roderiguez have the largest number of men. Gomez is near the coast, cutting off food supplies of the Spaniards and rounding up cattle for future use. He has named his place to meet the force now massing' in the United States. He will cover the landing on the land and the gunboats will attend to it on the sea. The men who know where that landing- will be made are Gens. Miles, Shafter and Nunez, in addition to Gomez and the authorities at Washington. Two depots of supply will perhaps be established, one for the purpose of arming1 the Cubans, the other for a base of supplies for the United States troops. One landing may serve for both. Arms for the Cubans will also go to Garcia, lie is in the far east, keeping Santiago de Cuba in terror. Wa*hlDffton Wild With Joy. Not since the dark days of the great civil conflict of a third of a century ago, have the people of Washington been so profoundly moved by war news as they were when the news came that the first battle of the Hispano-American war had been fought and victory lies with Admiral Dewey \ squadron under the Stars and Stripes. That was enough to set the people of Washington almost in a frenzy of enthusiastic rejoicing. When the news came indicating a great victory for the American squadron the enthusiasm of the people was let loose and the streets of the city rang with cheers throughout the night. It was a spontaneous outburst of patriotic feeling that scarcely knew bounds. Admiral Dewey's name was on every Up and praises were sung in the rejoicings of the people. Government officials were greatly .relieved by the news of an American viotory. Buffalo Bill (Win. F. Cody) is organizing a regiment of rough riders from the western plains to ro to Gvba. All Spain is in an uoroar and revolution is in the air. The people ure defying the troops and the royal futnily is on the point of flight. The mobs cry "Down with Morct and Hermejo." The Weyleritu leaders ure discussing ways and means for bringing the Cuban butcher into power. Surprise, disappointment and indignation have been caused at Madrid by the tremendous destruction done by the American fleet ut Manila. Owing to the excited condition of the populace martial law has been proclaimed at Madrid. Immediately after the declaration large numbers of the police und civilian guards occupied the principal streetsand the whole gurrison of troops were placed on waiting orders. The proclamation of martial law is due to the attitude of certain political parties, since the news from Manila. In the Spanish parliament the wildest excitement of ^'0 years reigned. There were scandalous scenes while- Premier Sagasta was speaking, the Republicans and Carlists hurling insulting and abominable epithets at him. Senor Sulmeron criticised the action of the crown in the crisis and declared that the monarchical government was solely rehponsibla,foe the present situation. He said, "We expend millions to maintain the monarchy, but have not enough to buy ironclads. Whoever will destroy the existing regime will be a great patriot." Rioting and bloodshed are .reported at Seville, Barcelona and Valencia. There is the most intense excitement throughout the kingdom and a revolution is imminent. Madrid is an armed camp and the queen regent and the boy king have completed all preparations for flight. While the Carlists are active, it is believed, nevertheless, that the dictatorship of 'Weyler may be the outcome of the crisis. During the demonstrations at Madrid the soldiery at the barracks were only prevented from joining the mob by personal pleadings of the olHcers. Many officers mingled with the mob inciting them to attack the residences of ministers. The republicans were even more busy than the officers in urging on the-crowd and shouting "Down with the queen regent. ' More than once they led the mob toward the royal palace but each time the police drove them back. The outbreaks in the provinces are assuming alarming proportions. Especially in the province of Gijon, on the Bay of Biscay, where troops have been compelled to fire on the rioters "in selfdefense," the artillery has been ordered out and a state of siege declared. Martial law has been proclaimed throughout the province of Valencia. Rioters at Talavera have committed serious disorders. They burned railroad cars and set fire to several private houses. They then tried to break into prison and release the convicts. Riots have occurred at Caceros. The miners around Oviedo have struck and reinforcement of troops has been hurried to Oviedo. A renewal of the rioting at Gijon is feared. The government is aware that it cannot rely upon the army. It is known that a secret society has been formed within its ranks to put an end to the humiliations Spain has suffered at the hands of her incompetent ministers. Very terrible things may soon happen. Vienna dispatches state that the resignation of the regency by Queen Maria Christina is being seriously considered by the members of the imperial family of Austria with a view of averting an anti-dynastic movement and saving the throne to the young king of Spain. An exchange of ideas on the subject is going on between the cjueen regent and her Austrian famify.' It is generally believed at Vienna, however, that tl«V Spanish dynasty is nearing the end. '\.~ A special dispatch from Brussels says a high Spanish diplomat there -declare* that Spain is practically in ^a state of revolution. The end of the regenqy has begun. 8pM»Uh Fleet Turned Bar*. Lisbon: News lias been received to the effect that the Spanish Oape Verde squadron has returned to Join the Spanish fleet near Cadiz, which is nearly ready for aca. It is added that the combined fleet of Spain will shortly start for American waters. At Cadiz the the Spaniards are understood to be fitting out the battleship Pelayo, and the first-class cruiseta Cardenas Cisneros, Emperor Carlos V, Guiseppe Garibaldi and Alfonso X1H. besides toe warships Numaneia, VHtoria, Destructor and several auxiliary cruisers and a number of torpedo boats and torpedo gunboajB. / ' - p - : , ^ • • * ; •• • Wm, Asto«r0Ghaaler, the w*ll-k»owa millionaire, has departed from New.

Spain's Atlantic fleet is not to be allowed to reach Porto Rico or to approach the coast of the United States, Rear Admiral Sampson has perfected plans for meeting., the enemy on the high seas and giving battle at a time and place of his own choosing. The large lighters of Sampson's squadron, the New York, Indiana, Iowa, Puritan and Mayflower were withdrawn from the Cuban blockading fleet and coaled up heavily at Key West, after which they sailed eastward at full speed, apparently for Porto Rico, either to destroy or to occupy the coaling station as a naval base before the Spanish squadron arrives, and then put to sea and try to engage the Cape Vrerdu fleet. Meanwhile the smaller vessels of the North Atlantic squadron are ample to maintain the blockade. Capt. Converse of the Montgomery will direct them. Sampsc n's warships -sailed prepared for an unusually long cruise. Their magazines ure overflowing with ammunition. They will be in (it condition to round up the Cape Verde fleet next week if it be that the Spanish warships are coming to Porto Rico at all. It is reported that on the way to Porto Rieo Admiral Sampson will stop Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba. It is believed that any repairs to the fortifications at Matanzas which the Spaniards have made since the recent bombardment will be knocked to pieces. Then the fleet may go around to Santiago on1 :the outskirts of which Garcia is pressing, and destroyed the fortifications there. After that the warships are expected to pick up the Oregon, the Marietta and the Nichtheroy (now namad JBuffalo), which^ are on lheir_ way from Rio Janeiro, and go back to Porto Rico, the taking of which is now considered a military necessity. AN OLD SCHOOLBOY. ARTHUR CRUMPLER J U S T LEARNING HOW TO READ. Strangely Enough, He Is a Cltlsea of Boston—Prior to the Proclamation He Was a Nlavr In the State of Virginia -~Hay Become a Great Scholar. Spanish Surrender Important Town. Gen. Pando, the commander of the Spanish forces in eastern Cuba, withdrew the Spanish garrison from Bayamo, one of the important towns of the provinces of Santiago de Cuba. Gen. Calixto Garcia, the insurgent commanner, occupied the town next day. The Spanish merchants and residents of liayamo were in great fear of plunder and massacre, but (len. Garcia issued a proclamation declaring that the property of Spaniards and their civil rights would be respected. The general also personally assured the loading Spaniards of the place that they were perfectly sdfe in remain ing at Uayamo, with the result that business went on as usual, and tranquillity prevails there. The people began bringing'in vegetables and meat from the country and the prices of provisions fell. No case of outrage has been reported. IJa3'amo. or San Salvador, is situated about 00 miles northwest of the city of Santiago de Cuba. It has a population of about 7.000. Chiekamau^a and Washington have been decided on as volunteer army concentration points. At least one other point will be chosen, probably either in New York or Pennsylvania. W. R. Itlanchard. chairman of the Joint Traffic Railroad association, has been gained as a brigadier-general of volunteers, and will be attached to the quartermaster's department of the army, to take charge of all matter relating to the transportation ot troops. , If it is evident that the Spanish fleet is coming in force to Porto Rico the flying squadron will reinforce Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet, and battle will be given the enemy in Cuban wjters without raising the blockade. If the Spaniards cross the Atlantic on a more northerly parallel. Rear Admiral Sampson's big ships will hurry northward and join the flying squadron to meet them. If the enemy divides his fleet into two squadrons, we will do likewise, or if time offers meet his squadrons in detail. When the fleets are divided a commander will be selected for each of them, with Rear Admiral Sampson in supreme command. B HE oldest pupil in /~vJ the public schools of this city Is Arthur Grumpier, seventy- four years of age. For 3 years tie haa regularly attended the sessions of t h e Franklin evening school in Ringgold street. Crumpl e ;• w a s burn a. biave in Virginia, and came to Boston in 1864. he could not read or write, but was a good blacksmith a;ld horseshoer, and he readily fountl employment at this trade. Since he became too old to do heavy work he has supported himself by caring for stores. Three years ago he wanted to know how to read his Bible and the newspapers, and he asked permission to enter the first class in the Franklin evening school. He was admitted, but his progress was so painfully slow for two years that his teacaers despaired of even teaching him the alphabet, though he Is a keen,*brtght old man, and shows evidences of having been the equal In intelligence of the ordinary slave. He was persistent, and once he had managed to learn the alphabet his progress was rapid, and now he can read and write quite well. He sairfr "These Bostinr-Bcbcrols are splendid. No one is too old to learn how to read, write and figure. Yes, I can do a little tn arithmetic. I have considerable time now, and I find considerable pleasure In reading my Bible and papers and books. I sit ARTHUR CRUMPLER. down and practice my writing lessons and write my own letters, and then I do sums in arithmetic, adding, multiplying, subtracting and a little in division. I do all this by myself, to save my teachers so much trouble, and if I were younger I should soon get to be quite a scholar." THE MARKETS. L1VK STOCK.

Title Earned by Uood Work ID the KuKAo-TurkUh War. Russia's iast war was the indirec cause of woman's scientific advance ment in the conservative land of the czar. Before the Russo-Turkish con flict Russian women were not permit ted to bear the title of doctor. Although, they were taught in exactly t h , same way as men. and the examina tions were exactly tbe same, they wert denied the degree. They were onliy a! lowed to call themselves "learned miU' wives," Without right to sign prescrip tions or to hold any responsible posi tion in civil or hospital service. Not withstanding these restrictions. the> accepted the position, and when tht war broke out with Turkey the learned midwives rendered Incalculable service to the sick and wounded. After this not even the jealous spirit of male monopoly could stand up against the recognition of the "lady doctor." and since 1880 women in Russia can receive the medical degree ^nd hold posts in public service. 4 SO ft 40 4 S3 GRAIN.

One of the peculiar effects of the war talk" said a Lansing grocer to the Republican "is that there is no demand for Spanish onions. These onions used to be 'in great demand because of their j excellent quality, but now, as if by mutual understanding, the people absolutely refuse to take them. The feeling ngfiinst Spain1 is so intense that }io one will buy Spanish onions Tf they know it.:<; The question is often asked "Why diden't the editor write up this or that social gathering, wedding, banquet, etc?'' Why bless I your dear souls, how could she write up what she diden,t know? She wnsr-n't there, diden't lmve • an invitation, is n© mind realer,; nobody told her anything about j it and maybe thought you diden't | want it known. When you have a social gathering or anything else of interest, 'and the editor is not present, just write an account of the same and hand it in, and we will appreciate the favor.

She sent her hu.sband for thn doirtor but he had read of Chamberhiins lialtn and instead of goin^ for a physician he went to the store and secured a bottle ot it. His wife did not approve of his purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the balm thoroughly and in an hour's time was able io go to sleep.

Reputation may make friends, but it takes character to keep them. The theatrical "anrel" is wingless, but his money flies, just the same. A woman's ideal man is one who looks like a pirate and acts like an angel. During war excitement some women let their blood boil and forget to let the coffee boil. There are times when even the clergyman feels like throwing a hymn book ai the choir. Our wiaest deeds are done at the very time when we were certain we were acting foolishly. Speaking of war songs, isn't there an old one which mentions the Spanish cavalier and his retreat? This is a good time for the non-combatant to remember that he ought to have gone to the Klondike long ago. Perhaps we shall find it convenient to call back our army of occupation which we have been sending into the Klondike. Don Carlos doubtless imagines that the position of sovereign is not a job for a woman or a boy, but for a man with long black whiskers. The present patriotic ebullition should not be made an excuse for turn- Ing a lot of political cheap skates into generals and colonels of volunteers. Any one who has even seen Col. Watterson in his star performance of inarching through slaughter houses to open graves will understand that he means every bellicose word he utters nowadays. The man who whoops around and talks about wanting to raise a regiment is all right in His way, but the one who goes quietly and puts his name on the recruiting list as a common soldier is the one who counts for game. A clergyman of New York says the earth will pass away before the year two thousand. "It was two th ;usand years," he says, "from the cr at.on to the flood, two thousand years fr; m the flood to the birth of Christ, and I think it will be two thousand more years, or within tint time, ihat the end of the world will come." If this doesn't prove to be correct we shall pay no more attention to these world's-end prophe s. They have cruelly deceived us quite often enough. James Smith of Cincinnati has a horse which refuses to pass a saloon unless very strong inducements in the way of a whip are offered him. When the bibulous steed reaches a saloon he trots cheerfully up to the bar and drinl a from a pan placed before him by the barkeeper. Beer, water, flavored with whisky, wine; and the like he drinks eagerly. James Smith says that his horse is a thoroughbred in thut he never allows his copious draughts to intoxicate him. TALMAGE'S SERMON. A BRAWNY RELIGION, SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Th« Teadaaoy to Pat th« Poo* Folk Out of the Gharch Condemned—A Blow at Fashionable Bellglon—Revolution Is Near »t Hand. Washington, D. C, May 1, 1898.— This discourse of Dr. Talmage is revolutionary for good in families and churches and nations, and especially Appropriate for these times. Text, Acts 17. 6: "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also." There is a wild, bellowing mob around the house of Jason, in Thessa- Johica. What has the man done so greatly to offend the people? He has been entertaining Paul and his comrades. The mob surround the house and cry, "Bring out those turbulent preachers! They are interfering with our business; they are ruining our religion! They are actually turning the world upside down!" The charge was true; for there is nothing that so interferes with sin, there is nothing so ruinous to every form of established iniquity, there Is nothing that has such tendency to turn the world upside down, as our glorioim Christianity. The fact is, that the world now is wrong side up, and it needs to be turned upside down in order that it may be right side up. The time was when men wrote books entitling them "Apologies for Christianity." I hope that day has passed. We wa,nt nojmore apologies for Christianity. LetTthe apologies be on the~part of those who do not believe in our religion. We do not mean to make any compromise in the matter. We do not wish to hide the fact that Christianity is revolutionary, and that its tendency is to turn the world upside down. Our religion has often been misrepresented as a principle of tears, and mildness, and fastidiousness; afraid of crossing people's prejudices; afraid of making somebody mad; w i n silken gloves, lifting the people up from the church pew into glory, as though they were Bohemias glass, so very delicate that with one touch it may be demolished forever. Men speak of religion as though it were a refined imbecility; as though it were spiritual chloroform, that the peop.e were to take until the sharp cutting of life were over. The Bible, so far from this, represents the religion of Christ as robust and biawny —ransacking and upsetting ten thousand things that now seem to be settled on firm foundations. I hear some n u n in the house say, "I thought religion was peace." That is the final result. A man's arm is out of place. Two men come, and with gieat etlort put it back The commercial legal and diplomatic complications to which war may give rise are innumerable. To direct the nation's conduct toward Mends and foei so that there may be n^ disagree- j able or dangerous aftermath requires exact knowledge of American diplo- \ matte tradition. We know that many of the usages of our diplomacy are the object of hate In Europe, and that continent;; < diplomats are constantly endeavoring, under the gnlti/b of friendship, to lay traps for OUJ u-et Neltiier the Spaniards nor the Spanish war are half so much to be feared as the scheming, smiling confidence men continental Europe keeps to trick the United States into relaxing its vigilance and its guard over the great heritage of the west. Officials of' southern railroad lines ?rophesy that the traffic In the horticoltMral products from that region will be thirty per cent heavier than any fottoer year. It is less than twentj years since Mississippi farmers began toj&xrw early vegetables for markets outside their own state. Shipments are no*fr jnade to points as far north as Portland, Me., and even across the Atlafctic. Fast freights an,d refrigerator cart fcm Made these shipment* possible. For mtnjr rear* Uw southern truck farmer confined his attention to the tomato crop, and it was uniformly ible. Two years ago some Insect Hie made feavoc with the season's and since that time the farmer extending th#-,*ariet|r of vegetables cultivated. The area of truck farm- Ing U yearly-becoming larger and ta« to be making very good to the socket. It goes back wl & great pain. Then it gets well. Our- world is horribly disordered and out of joint. It must come under an omnipotent surgery, beneath which there will; be pain and anguish before there can come perfect health arid quiet. I proc.aim, therefore, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ—Revolution! The religion of the Bible will make a revolution in the family. Those things that are wrong in the family circle will be overthrown by it, while justice and harmony will take the place. The husband will be the head of the household only when he is fit to be. I know a man who spends all the money he makes in drink, as well as all the money that his wife makes; and sometimes sells the children's clothes for rum. Do you cell me that he is topbe the head of that household? If the wife have more nobility, more courage, more consistency, more of all that is right,, she shall have the supremacy. You say that the Bible says that the wife is to be subject to the husband. I know it. But there is a husband, not a masculine car cature. There is no human or divine law that makes a woman subordinate to a man unworthy of her. When Christianity comes Into a domestic circle, it will give the dominancy to that once who is the most worthy of It. Again, Christianity will produce a revolution in commercial circles. Find me fifty merchants, and you find that they have fifty standards of what Is right and wiong. You say to some one about a merchant. "Is he honest?" "Oh, yes," the man says, "he is honest; but, he grinds the faces of nig clerks. He is honest; but he exaggerates the value of his goods. He is honest; but he loans money on bond and mortgage, with the understanding that the mortgage oan lie quiet for ten years, but as soon as he gets the mortgage he records it and begins a foreclosure suit, and the sheriff's writ comes down, and the day of sale arrives, and away goes the homestead, and the creditor buys It in at half price." Honest? when he loaned the money lie knew oktyL he would get the homestead at -half price. Honest? but he goes to the insurance office to get a policy on his life, and tells the doctor '.hat he is well, when fee knpwrtftat ivr ten yean he has had bat one lung. Honest? though he sells property by the map, forgetting to tell the purchaser that the ground i t all under water; but it It generous in him to do that, for he throw* th* water into the bargain. .\h! my friends, there is hut on* standard of the everlasting right i^nd of the everlasting wrong, and that la the Bible; and when the principle shall get 1U pry under our commercial houses, I believe that one-half of the'm will go over. The ruin will begin at one end of the street, and it will crash! crash! crash! all the way down to the docks. "What is the matter? Has there been a fall in gold?" "Oh, no." "Has there been a new tariff?11 "No." "Has there been a failure In cropa?" "No." "Has there beeu an unaccountable panic?" "No." This is the secret: The Lord God has" set up his throne of judgment in the exchange He has summoned the righteous and the wicked to come -before him. What was 1837? A day of judgment! What was 1857? A day of judgment! What was the extreme depression of two years ago? A day of Judgment! Do you think that God is going to v/ait until he has burned the world uu before he rights these wrongs? I tell you, Nay! Every day is a day of Judgment. The fraudulent man piles up his gains, bond above bond, United S'utes security above United States security, emolument above emolument, until his property has become a great pyramid; and, as he stands looking at it, he thinks it can never be destroyed: but the Lord God comes and with his litile flnger pushes it all over. You build a house, and you put into it a rotten beam. A mechanic standing by says, "It will never do to put that beam in; U will ruin your whole building." But you put it in. The house is completed. Soon it begins to rock. You call iri the mechanic and ask, "What is the matter with this tfoor? What is the matter with tfiir wall? Everything seems to be giving out." Says the mechanic, "You put a rotten beam into that structure, and the whole thing has to come down." Here is an estate that seems to be all right now. It has been building a great many years. But fifteen years ago there was a dishonest transaction in that commercial house. That one dishonest tra-nsaction will keep on working ruin in the whole structure until down the estate will come in wreck and ruin about the possessor's ears—one dishonest dollar in the estate demolishing all his possessions. I have seen it again and again; and so have you. Here Is your money-safe. manufacturer and yourself only know how it can tie opened. You have the key. "You touch the lock and the ponderous door swings back. But let me tell you that, however firmly barred and bolted your money-safe may be, you can not keep God out. He will come, some day, into your counting-room, and he will demand, "Where did that note of hand come from? How did you arcount for this security? Where did you get that mortgage from? What does this mean?" If it is all right, God will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant. Be prospered in this world. Be happy in the world to come." If it is all wrong, he will say, "Depart, ye cursed. Be miserable for your iniquities in this life; and then go down and spend your eternity with thievefl, and horse-jockeys and pick-pockets." You have an old photograph of the signs on your street. Why have those signs nearly all changed within the last twenty years? Does the passing away of a generation account for it? Oh, no. Does the fact that there are hundreds of honest men who go down every year account for it? Oh, no. This is the secret: The Lord God has been walking through the commercial streets of our great cities; and he has been adjusting things according to the principles of eternal rectitude. The time will come when, through the revolutionary power of this gospel, a falsehood, instead of being called exaggeration, equivocation, or evasion, will be branded a lie! And stealings, that now sometimes go under the head of percentages and commissions, and bonuses, will be put into the catalogue of state prison offenses. Society will be turned inside out and upside down, and ransacked of God's truth, until business dishonesties shall come to an end, and all double-dealing; and God will overturn, and overturn, and overturn; and commercial men in all cities will throw up their hands, crying out, "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither." In that future day of the reconstructed Church of Christ, the church building will be the most cheerful of all buildings. Instead of the light of the sun strained through pairted glass, until an intelligent auditory looks green, and blue, and yellow, and copper-colored, we will have no such things. The pure atmosphere of heaven will sweep out the fetid atmosphere that has been kept in many of our churches boxed up from Sunday to Sunday. The day ofjrhich I speak will be a day of great revivals. There will ^e such a time as there was in the parish of Shotts, where live hundred souls were born to God In one day;, such times as were seen In this. country when Edwards gave the alarm, when Ten&ent preached, and Whitefield thundered, and I n - ward Payson prayed; such times as some of you remember in 1867, when the voice of prayer and praise was heard In theater, and warehooss, and s ; u i U i siiv :•. :. ,iA t c - t o r y a n d <-u« gine house; and the auctioneer's ccy of "a half, and a half, and a half," was drowned out by the adjoining prayermeeting, in which the people cried out, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" In those days oi which I am speaking, the services of the Church of God will be more spirited. The mix. lsters of Christ, instead of being anxious about whether they are going to lose their place in their notes, will get on flre with tha theme and pour the living truth of God upon an aroused auditory—crying out to the righteous, "It shall be well with you;" and to the wicked, "Woe! It shall be ill with you!" In those days the singing will be very differed from what it is now. The music will weep, and wail, and chant, and triumph. People then will not be afraid to open their' mouths when they wine;. The man with a cracked voice will risk it on "Windiham," and "Oruinvillo," and "Old Hundred." . Graiulfuiher will find the place for his grandchild In the hymn-book; or the littie child will be spectacles for the grandfather. Hosanna will meet hosanna, and together go climbing to the throne; and the angels will hear; and God will listen; and the gates of heaven will hoist; and it will be as when two seas meet—the wave of earthly song mingling with the surging anthems of the free. Oh, my God, let me live to see that day! Let there be no power in disease, or accident, or wave of the sea, to disappoint my expectations. Let all other sight fail my eyes, rather than that I should miss that vision. Let all other sounds fail ray ears, rather than that I should fail to hear that sound. I want ^0=atan4=Qn= tha=BMuintainfcQpf tp catch the first ray of the dawn, and with flying feet bring the news. And, oh, when we hear the clattering hoofs that bring on the king's chariot, may we all be ready, with arches sprung and with hand on the rope of the belt that Is to sound the victory, and with wreaths all twisted for the way; and when Jesus dismounts, let it be amidst the huzza! huzza! of a world redeemed. Where and when will that revolution begin? Here, and now. In your heart and mine. Sin must go down; our pride must go down; our worldliness must KO down, that Christ may come up. Revolution! "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Why not now let the revolution begin? Not next. Sabbath, but now! Not tomorrow, jyhen you go out into commercial circles, but now! Archias, the magistrate of Thebes, was sitting with many mighty men, drinking wine. A messenger came in, bringing a letter informing him of a conspiracy to end.his life and warning him to flee. Archias took the letter, but, instead of opening it, put It into his pocket., and said to the messenger rience And Not Ixperiment*, Should be> Your Aim In Buying Medicine.

Today I put into the hand of every man and woman, who hears or reads these words, a message of life. It says: "Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart." Do not put away the message and say: "This business tomorrow." This night thy soul may be required of thee! The Leaf Inanct. The "leaf-insect" is a native of the East Indies, and the islands of the eastern archipelago. Dr. Duns, in describing it, says: "Suppose the top of a sprout of this year's growth to be broken from a bay, the leaves stripped off, two of them taken and laid back to back along the sprout to within about a quarter of an inch from the top, you have then the body and head of the inject. At the end of the bare sprout two forked incipient leaves stand out. These will do for the horns. The leaves lying thus along the sprout give as they taper towards their points the aspect of the body; while the uncovered projecting part, with its halfformed buds, represents the head and the eyes. The wings bear the most striking resemblance to an oak-leaf cut up the center. The regularity of the larger veins, and the distinctness of the smaller ones, are very marked. Then you have the four legs like fragments of leaflets, joined to the upper parts of the body; while two arms, serv.;g the s:ime purpose as the tentacular of the butterfly, branch off from the shoulder. These ore also like fragmeits of a leaf; but when they are brought togefher they form an entires leaf, with its base at the head and its ' point projecting." When the insect rests among the leaves its resemblance to them is so perfect that only a most acute observer is likely to detect It: even when it flies it look* far more like a stray leaf torn from a branch than a true insect. The leaf-insect moves about very slowly, and if it were not for Its extraordinary resemblance to the folia*© among which It passes Its life, would be powerless to escape the attacks of iU numerous enemies.

The mere rqeutloa of a Jorcl was sufficient Xg-send the nurse off to the door In a bustle; perhaps the good woman scented a tip in the near future. Anyway, when the door was opened to the great man, he was astonished to nee a atout, comfortable-looking body standing, smiling and curtseying within. "Yes, uiy lord; walk this way, my lord," and forthwith she ushered turn into the dressing-room to relieve Esther of the baby. "A very iine-iooking old gentleman, Miss," -she remarked. "in he?" said Esther. "No, I've never seen him." Meuiiume Lord Aylmer, suspecting nothing cf what hud happeued, was standing at the window, waiching his hoibes, his kten and wicked old eyes having noticed during the few moments that he had been in the room thai ^Dick's portrait had gone. He heard me sound of the door opening, and turned to meet, not Dorothy, in "her flowing blue draperies, with her sweet, tshy gray eyes up.iued to his, but a tall, dark-eyed young woman in a plain gray gowu, who came forward and held out her hand in what, was unmistakably the fasnion of a woman who considered herself his social equal. --."Good morning. Lord 4 said, coidial.y. "I must than it you very much tor all your kindness to my little cousm, who is very lone.y just now. My name is Brand—Esther Brand." Lord Aylmer could not help starting d little, but he covered it by a profound bow and a protestation that he was de.ighted—e^cnamed, in fact—to have the honor of making M.ss brand's acquaintance. feo this wa3 the Esther of whom she had spoken in her letter—Esther Brand; ay, and likely to prove a brand between him and her. He looked with disgust, aud a thousand bad words jostled one another in his heart the while, at Esther's pale, resoiUte fate, her firm, white, capable hands, noked her fearless manner, and admitted that she was unmistakably a woman of education and good breeding. And it is only fair to say that Lord Aylmer positively cursed his ill-luck even whi.e he kept a smooth and smiling front to the enemy. "And shall I not have the pleasure of seeing Mrs.—er—Harris this morning?" he asked, finding presently that there was no sign of Dorothy's appearance. Miss Brand laughed. "Well, hardly," she answered. "My cousin is as well as could possibly be expected under the circumstances." "What circumstances?" Lord Aylmer asked, thinking that Miss Brand was alluding to Barbara's accident. "The circumstances of a baby," said Esther, smiling. "Of what? Forgive me, but I do not follow you," he said. "My cousin has got a baby, Lord Aylmer," said Esther, smiling still more broadly. Lord Aylmer jumped to his feet. Esther, not a littled startled, sprang to hers. "What?" he cried. "Mrs. Harris had a little son born at —never. You might have knocked me down with a feather, 'pon my word, you might. A baby—a little son—and I left Mrs. Harris late yesterday afternoon, and hadn't the faintest suspicion that anything of the kind was in the wind." Miss Brand raised her eyebrows and smiled rather coldly. "That is not very surprising, Lord Aylmer," she o b e y - ed. "As you never saw my cousin before yesterday, you could not be expected to have suspicions." "Oh, no, no; but you surprised me as much er—so very much. And she is well?" "Oh! yes, thanks; as well as we could possibly wish," Esthqr answered. "And not too much upset by the accident to the poor old lady yesterday, I hope?" he inquired, tenderly. "Oh! no. Of course, she was upset at the time, but she was wonderfully calm and quiet after I got here." "And my valet's wife—Amelia Harris-- how does she like her?" he asked. "Well, really, Lord Aylmer, she hardly knows. Amelia came in, and I had to send her off for the doctor almost before ray cousin saw her. But I like her and find her very useful; in fact, we should be but very badly off byJLXQI her," "That Is good," Lord Aylmer said, with his most fatherly manner. He felt, this wicked and wily o'd man, that he would have to be continually on his guard with this steadyeyed young lady. By her advent the difficulties of the situation would be greatly increased; if he succeeded now in ousting Dick and getting hold of Dorothy, it would be in spite of Mhs Esther Brand. Yet the difllculties of the situation only made him the more anxious to come off victor in the end, only made, him more determined to win Dorothy if possible, whether it were by hook or crook. "WHAT?" HE CRIED, -four o'clock this morning," said Esther, who neither understood nor particularly admired this unlooked-for and uncalled-for display of feeling. "Good God!" bunt from the old lord's lips. For a few moments they stood staring right into OM another'* eyes, he astotttidedj disgusted, t*ffl«4; she zled and a little angry at him and extraordinary bth+vtar.

E rose to go then, and held out his hand to his enemy. "I am not only glad, but greatly relieved, that Amelia Harris is able to make herself useful, because I feel that I am in a measure responsi- "~ ble for the accident to your cousin's own serv&nt; Hshall be quite anxious to hear hutv she goes on—your cousin, I mean. I wonder if you would send me a line now and again to Aylmer's Field, near Norwich? I should be so much obliged." "Oh, certainly I will let you know; it is very good of you to be so interested," Esther answered. "Ah! that is good of you. I am an old man now, and it Is the distressing habit of old people to worry themselves about everything. I shall worry more or less about your cousin until I know she is about again." "Oh, you mustn't do that," said Esther, laughing. "Then you are going out of town?" "Yes, I am going to Aylmer's Field for a few days," he replied. "By-thebye, I shall be charmed to place my carriage at your disposal during my absence—for as long as you like afterward, for the matter of that," he added. "That is really very kind of you," said Esther, "but—it seems rather taking an advantage of you." "Not at all—not the least in the world," put in the old lord, quickly. "I will tell them to send round every morning for orders." He went hastily away after this, chuckling ai the success of his visit. "I thought she was going to be difficult" his thoughts ran; "but she's a woman, and, after all, the same baits catch all of them—all of them. There are two things a woman never seems able to resist—diamonds and a really smart turnout." He sat still for a few minutes after they turned into the High street, then called to Charles. "Charles, drive slowly from here to St. George's Hospital," he said. "Yes, m' lord," answered Charles. "Never knoo 'm take such a heap of trouble before," murmured Charles to the coachman. "Ain't it wonderful?" returned that functionary, with a wink. The old lord was in luck's way, for just as they reached the corner of the hospital Amelia Harris came out of the big building. She saw him in a moment, and Lord Aylmer called out for the carriage to stop. The carriage drew up close betide the curb, and Amelia Harris stood quite close to the door, so that not a word of her conversation could be heard by the two stiff and solemn figures who «at with their h«ttfa ] cirefully turned away from tbt»'wicked old man behind them. "Well?** h« aald. "Well." she said, looking a t him I* a hard, dry kind of way, "have yo* been there?" "Yes." "H'm—nice little surprise for you, > Should fancy." "Oh, a devil of a surprise," Irritably. Amelia Harris laughed cynically, "Ah, I've been wondering all the morn* Ing what you'd thlok. Well," sharply, "does it make any difference, or ar# you going on, because if it does " "Well?" "Well, I'll send on this telegram and give her this letter. Poor little fool! she has been worrying about the Indian mall all the morning." "You will do nothing of the kind— of course I am going on," cried Lord Aylmer, sharply, under hia breath. "Give them to me—what are they? There—that will do. Go back—take a cab—and look after my interests as if —this—this—creature had not come at all to Interfere with my plans. If anything of importance occurs write to me at Aylmer's Field. If you need to use the telegraph, be very careful how you word your message." "On the old plan, I suppose?" ehe asked. "Yes; now go. Charles, to my club." "Yes, m' lord." Being September, the old lord found his favorite club almost deserted—not that he minded; in fact, he wanted the club to himself, and practically he had it. He did not waste time, but read the telegram at once. "Boy—both well," with a sneer, and-tore it Into a thousand fragments, which he flung into the grute. Then he opened the letter, in Dick's well-known writing, bearing the Madras postmark. — it—wa*«a loag &ad. tender—letter ,-fu 11 of solicitude for her welfare and giving her amusing description of his every-day life. "Madras isn't mveh of a place, my darling," Dick said, "but I shall like it well enough when you are out here." "Good God!" Lord Aylmer cried aloud, "then she means going but to him. So that's your game, is it, my little white cat? Ah! we must see it we can't make a change in that program." As he sat there muttering over the letter an old gentleman, who way peacefully slumbering over the Morning Post, started violently and began tc rcal-e profuse apologies. "Beg your pardon, I'm sure—afraid 1 was nodding over the paper—ten thousand pardons, and—why, it's Aylmer! Bless my soul, Aylmer, are you in town? How do you do?" "Yess I am in town—I'm quite well, thank you, and I don't want the paper because I'm reading letters of great importance," said Lord Aylmer, rudely and pointedly, and with an utter absence of the delightful fatherly manner which he found so . effectual at times. —"Oh! really.—Deuced unpleasant letters, too, I should think," said the old gentleman, who was a much more important personage than Lord Aylmer, and did not care a snap of his finger for him. He got up from the chair where he had been sitting, and waddled off to a somewhat easier one in the big bowwindow, where he sat down, and began diligently studying the paper, only presently to go fast asleep again with the paper defiantly clasped in his arms. Lord Aylmer went on studying Dick's letter, feeling better for the small passage of words, much as one often feels when a thunderstorm has cleared the atmosphere on a hot summer's day. "All the same," the letter continued, "I have got most comfortable quarters here, and I have seen a Jolly little house about a mile from the town where I think you will be as happy as possible. I am looking out for a first-rate ayah for you, but really it will be the easiest if you get an ayah for the child in town—there are always some who have taken children over and want their return passage. You see, my darling, I have not been idle about you, nor forgotten to make the best of, my opportunities In gathering information which may make you more comfortable, though I think sometimes that people must wonder why I want to know about ayahs and ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING, Tlilrty-flnt Michigan Volunteer* Muttered Into Uncle SUUI'N Service — Thlrtyaecond Almost Ready—Many Officers and Men Re.iectod. Michigan's 31»t Volanteer Regiment. Cjo, A (Ann Arbor), First infantry, Capt. lions Granger, had the honor of being the first company mustered in, and the soldier boys wore given a rousing reception as they lined up to take the oath of allegiance to their country. Co. I! (Adrian), Capt. .lames M. Holloway, WHS next mustered in and then followed Co. C (Teoumseh), Capt. Thos. R. Kyle; Co. 1> (Jackson), Capt. Cyrus F Smith; Co. K (Lansing), Capt. Robt. J. Craig; Co. F (Mason), Capt. George- P. Griffin; Co. G(Ypsilanti), Capt. Frank B. McKeand; Co. II (.laekson), Capt. Benj. O. Newell. The companies of the Second Independent battalion (Detroit Light Guard). that were attached to the 31st regiment have had their letter changed. Co. A will now be known as I, Co. \i as K, Co. V as L, and Co. G, of Monroe, an M. They were mustered in as follows; Co. I, (Detroit), Capt. Duncan Henderson; Co. K (Detroit), Capt. W. H. Sink; Co. L (Detroit), Capt. Chas. S. Baxter; Co. M (Monroe). Capt. John M. Outman. By order of the war department the destination of the 31st regiment was dnanged from Chickauiuuga to Tampa, Pla., and they are ordered to leave as soon as fully equipped. Thirty-Second Michigan Volunteers. " Gen. Irirfh issued a formal order attaching the First Independent battalion (Cos. C, D, E and H of the old Fourth M. N. G., Co. C being also known as the Scott Guards and the others as the Detroit Light Infantry) to the Second regiment M. N. G., thus forming the 32d Michigan Volunteer regiment. The Detroit companies are given new letters: Co. C is changed to Co. I, Co. D to K, Co. E to L and Co. H to M. The staff officers of the 3'M regiment are: Col. William T. McGurrin, Grand Rapids; lieutenant-colonel not yet appointed; Maj. T. II. Reynolds. Detroit; Maj. K.L.AJbbey, Kalamazoo; Maj.W. B. Kalmbach, Grand Rapids; Maj. L. D. Knowies, surgeon, Three Rivers; Capt. John L. IJurkhart, assistant surgeon, Grand Rapids. This makes Maj. Reynolds, of Detroit, the senior major, and he will be entitled to the right of the line. The line officers of the regiment went before the examining board and four failed to pass. They are Capt. Wm. M. Hatch, eompaTiy~T77 "(BaTlIe~~Creek)7~ whose vision is very poor; Capt. Joseph J. Nolan, Company C (Kalamazoo), Capt. Ed. Rode and First Lieut. Max. A. Kea^i, Co. I, (Scott Guards of Detroit). Th^iatter is minus several front teeth, which was marked against him. but as he passed an otherwise excellent examination, his case may be reconsidered. Capt. Rode had rheumatism and is over the weight limit. Co. I elected Second Lieut. Lewis F. Hart as captain. The various companies of the 32d lost many men by their failure to pass the medical examination and the work of recruiting the companies to their quota delayed the muster. When mustered in and equipped the 32d'will be sent to Tampa, Fla. Michigan Troops Go to Tampa. A dispatch from the war department ordered the 31&t and 3-d Michigan Volunteer regiments to be bent to Tampa, Pla^ as soon as possible. The Michig- artjtroops are sadly short on equipment, however, and a delay was unavoidable. The U. S. commissary department sent field and traveling ratioaa sufficient for about 20 days, but the*toys need shoes, stockings, ammunition and guns, especially the later. It ^#$id take: about alL the?.£uns;ife the^ca^np to equip one regiment, and, in ^d^ttioo, they are useless. The rifles now used by the state troops have been IS yean* •errioe, and would be of Httle or no use., The men are growing restless and want to get away, as they keep in doae touch with tna war news. War New* From Camp I'.ilun. The first pay day iu Camp Katon saw 800,000 distributed among the boys. State Labor Commissioner Cox came to camp to take home his 18-year-old son, who has enlisted in the Second regiment, but the boy refused to resign* Gov. Pingree has definitely decided to begin numbering Michigan regiments at Si, where the numbers ended during the late civil war. Col. Hardener's will be the 31st, Col. MetJurrin's the 3'M, Col. Hoynton's the 33rd, and Col. Peterman's the 34th. Capt. Fred M. Ilodskin, Co. IJ (Manistee), Fifth M. N. U., lias been appointed major to 1111 the vacancy caused by the resignation of Maj. Edward F. Douglass, of lloughton. On account of the expense involved no further attempts will be made to bring recruits from the upper peninsula, and the Fifth will be tilled out by assignments of volunteers.

Next week the permanent army of occupation will be established in Cuba and volunteer regiments will be hurrying forward to reinforce it from nearly every state east of the lioeky mountains. By the same time the volunteers and regulars west of the great divide will be embarked on transports and fairly started on their voyrige of IS.MH) miles to establish American provisional government in the Philippines.

In addition to these volunteers the war department has about j,()0Oavailable regulars on the coast which will also be sent. The California naval militia is anxious to go and will probably be accepted. The navy department hurried together an exceptionally large stock of ammunition to go forward to replenish the ammunition of Dewey's licet.

The battleship Iowa fired the first shot which took effect. Then the battleship Indianaopen'ed tire; in a few minutes Morro fort was reduced to a heap of ruins. The fort made little effort to respond and was silenced almost immediately. The Spanish steamer Kita was captured by the United States auxiliary cruiser Yaks which took her crew on board. Thousands of the population and the foreign consuls sought refuge in the interior of the island. Admiral Sampson sent word in advance that he intended to bombard the fortifications, in tinier to give the men, women and non-combatants time to get away. Not an American was killed, nor was au American vessel damaged. It took just seven shells from the big guns of the Iowa and Indiana to completely destroy Castle Morro. Admiral Sampson then directed the attention of the ships to the land batteries. Soon the postollice and governor's palace were demolished and the guns in the forts dismounted, and fire from the small guns made it so hot that the Spaniards were forced to run Webb EK-Lieut.-Col.

The First and Tenth cavalry go to New Orleans to embark for Cuba, the Second cavalry to Mobile, the Third and Sixth to Tampa. The entire infantry force is ordered to Tampa. Washington: Maj.-Gen. Miles and his entire staff have gone to Tampa to superintend the embarkation of the army of invasion, and will accompany the army. Gen. Miles said: "The campaign will be pushed with all possible speed and the war brought to a termination in the shortest possible time." Gea.

The President and congress, in behalf of the American people, have paid a fitting tribute to the heroism of Commodore Dewey and hisotlicersand men, for the magnificent and unparalleled victory in Manila bay. President Me- Kinley sent a message to congress sefting forth the principal faets sured that the insurgent forces under Gen. Gomez will operate under Miles' direct orders. NOTES ON THE WAR SITUATION Revolutionary outbreaks and bread riots i a Spain have caused eigiht provinces betides Madrid to be placed under martial law. J Gov. Pingree received a telegram from Alger requesting that two ments be mustered in as soon * ble and sent to Chickamauga. Later, but unconfirmed, reports state that the Spanish have evacuated Manila and that Dewey has taken possession. The Spanish troops carried away all their arms, ammunition and stores. The state of Michigan has $150,000 of war bonds to sell, and already citizens have sent in applications aggregating $450,000. These range from $160,000 down to $100. The small bidders are being accommodated, but the big fellows will have to wait, it being the purpose to make the distribution as popular as possible. The bonds will not be ready for delivery before June 1 to the achievement and recommended that a vote of thanks be extended by congress to Commodore Dewey and the gall am oflieers and men of his fleet. Without a word of debate and without a dissenting voice the Senate agreed to a resolution carrying into effect the recommendation of the President. A bill was then presented increasing tint-number of rear admirals in the navy from six to seven, in order that the President might nominate Commodore Dewey to the highest position in the navy within his gift, and that, too, was passed without dissent. In addition a joint resolution was unanimously agreed to directing the secretary of the navy to present to Commodore Dewey a sword of -honor, and to have struck, in commemoration of the battle of Manila, a bronze medal for each of the officers • and men who participated in the gallant fight. The resolution appropriates §10,000 to enable the secretary to carry its provisions into effect. The House also promptly concurred in the Presidents recommendation and passed the bill creating an additional rear-admiral of the navy, or keep under cover, dov.-den. Macias and his daughter Paulina refused to desert the city until the ruin was almost complete. Porto Rico is now at the mercy of Sampson's guns as Manila is at the mercy of Dewey's, and it requires but the word to demolish or capture the city. Washington: So confident were the war boards of the capture of Porto Rico that they are preparing to send troops to hold the island when it is taken. As soon as Sampson reports that the occasion demands them, (Jen. Miles will dispatch li.OOO men to Porto Rico from Tampa. SPAIN'S FLEET ARRIVES. The Cupe Verde Squadron Kcport«(I off the Inland of Martinique. St. Pierre, Martinique, via Hayti: The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Furor arrived at this point late at night, but immediately put to sea. Her arrival caused great excitement^ The next afternoon the Spanish destroyer Th« Flrat Troop* Sent to Cub*. The first U. S. regulars to land on Cuban soil sailed from Tampa, Fla., on the steamer Gussie. They were Cos. EandG of the First infantry, Maj.- Oen. ShafterV old regiment, Dr. F. Gaudy of the First, two hospital stewards and four hospital attendants. A small party of Cuban veterans went along. The expedition was in charge of Capt. Dorst, who had just returned from a conference with Gen. Gomes. The Gussie carried arms, ammunition and supplies for Gen. Gomez's army; four field gttas, with cartridges, 10,000 Springfield rifle*, cartridge*, powder, etc., 30 dajrs' rations for the U, &. reg- *torejL*tod Dr. Gandy and his hospital ataW. arwte> oe conducted to Gen.

Key West: The Gussie has returned after successfully performed her task of landing troops and arms, ammunition and supplies in Cuba. The men and arras were landed not far from Matanzas and without any serious opposition from the Spaniards. In addition the American flag was planted on Cuban soil, and there it will stay until not one Spaniard who recognises Uw flag of Castile remain*. Terror arrived. As this dispatch is sent five Spanish war vessels are in sight, bound northward, apparently in the direction of Cuba. St. Pierre is 400 miles from Porto Rico. Madrid: Admiral Hermejo ha« admitted that the Cape Verde squadron was at Fort d« France. The government has received information that Admiral C-ervera's voyage to Martinique was uneventful. The route to be taken to Porto Rico is not known here, but it was embodied in Admiral Cervera's secret instructions. He was instructed to coal at a neutral port, and probably selected Fort de France for that purpose. The fleet that left Cape Verde consisted of the first-class cruisers Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, Infanta Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon and three torpedo boat destroyers—Terror, Furor and Pluton. The distance from Cape Verde to Porto Rico is approximately 2,486 miles, and. according to the above dispatches, the squadron proceeded across the Atlantic at the rate of about 14 knots an hour. Martinique is one of the French West India islands, of which Fort de France is the capital and St. Pierre the principal town. The latter is on the northwest coast of the island. VOLUNTEERS ORDERED SOUTH Ordered to Coaeoatrite at WMhlncton mnd Coast The war department has issued an order for the concentration of the volunteer army beimr mustered in from the various states. The order taken in connection with the extensive preparations being made by the quartermaster and commissary departments is a practical corroboration of the semi-official reports that &0,00Q or 60,000 troops are to be landed on Cuba at once. The first regiments raised in each state mustered in and found ready for service are to be sent to Chicksdn&uga. to be "licked into shape," and thence sent to Tampa and other gulf porta, inelvding Mobile, New Orleans and1 Bal- ?eston, preparatory to embarking <or Cuba. The second division of flfegiments go to Washington, where tihay are to form a reserve, ready to reinforce the Cuban army at any moment, to man taw' coast defenses, or for other purpose*. The third division is to rvmain for the present in the states in which the organisations a№ mustered, Rjubject ttvoanl for duty in the Philippines or for general reserve purpose*. Possibly they may never be called upo» to leave th(u>*a£ive *• INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER XXIX—(Continued.) For a long time Lord Aylraer sat lost In angry thought. So this was the meaning of Dick's sudden surrender, his dutiful acquie. c^nce with his uncle's wishes. There had been no breaking of his chains when he set sail for the East, no burning of his boats behind him. Not a bit of It! No; the young gentleman had quietly—ay, and very cleverly—made the best of what to him was a very bad and very dis,- tastcfut business, and intended to carry on the Palace Mansions arrangement in Madras just as lie had done in London. But somebody else had to be dealt with, the-old lord's grim thoughts ran —somebody else with a brain a good deal shrewder than Dick's, and a. will like cold steel. Lord Aylmer would have something to do and say in the matter of Mrs. Harris' intended voyage to India, and he had no notion whatever of allowing his nephew, whom he cordially detested, to carry out all his arrangements in triumph, and in spite of him. He roused himself presently, and went to the table, where writing materials were lying. Then he forced himself tiTwfTte an ordinary Tetter To Dicky telling him he was in town for a few days, but was off to Aylmer's Field tomorrow; that my lady was better and he trusted D'c'v would bear in mind that he had to reinstate himself in his uncle's good graces, that he might get over the disappointment caused by his refusal to marry Mary Annandale, and therefore he trusted he would spare no pains to make himself indispensable to his old friend, Barry Boynton. And at the end of this meaningless and commonplace letter Lord Aylmer made an addition, which, like the scorpion's tail, contained the sting: "P. S-—Dy-the-bye, you will be in- *VROTE A COMMONPLACE LETTER, terested to hear that your little friend, Mrs. Harris, has consoled herself for your absence, without loss of time. I saw her yesterday, with a gentleman, in an uncommonly well turned out open carriage—splendid horses, smart servants, in white liveries, cockades, and all the rest of it. After along and intimate acquaintance with the world I have come to the conclusion that softeyed little women of that type have marvelous wisdom—they forget the past, give no thought to tbe future, take the hour as it comes and make the best of it. Sensible creatures!" And this most dangerous of all lies, the lie which was half a truth, Lord Aylmer dropped into the post-box, and in due time it went speeding over sea and land in place of Esther Brand's telegram, "Boy—both well." CHAPTSB XXX. ' -j—r- ' WHOLEmonth had -gone by and still ao word had come from Dick ta the anxious heart, so fondly waiting for news in Pake; Mansions. Or stay, that is cot quite correct, for a long lett * from . Dick lu.!2 ome by each mail, but they had never reached Dorothy, each one of them having fallen in Lord Aylnwls possession. "I can't made out why your husband has never written, why he never answered the telegram. I think I shall go into the post-office and find out if it really went." "Amelia said it wer „" Dorothy replied. She, poor child, ^Ad never admitted as much to her cousin, but she was prepared for the worst that could possibly happen. D'ck's long silence was beginning to tell upon her, and she was.not recovering as quickly as might be desired; indeed, her doctor autd her cousin, too, were for the most put thoroughly unejftsy about her. And yet, she had how been nearly six weeks without a line from Dick—Dick, who had left her with such fond words of and ta hi* ASSOCIATION. Dick, who knew that now, of all times, letters would be of greater value than ever they had been, when she was left alone in her hour of trial. Yet he had not written, there was no answer to the telegram announcing the boy's birth, there Jiad come no word nor sign out of the-dark blankness of hope and fear, doubt and despair, which was gradually creeping over her. And after all, she told herself, it was not to be wondered at if Dick had got a little tired of her—a stupid little thing like her, as ignorant as a child. What was there in her to keep such a man as Dick faithful and true when the width of half ,the world was stretched between them? And then her eyes fell upon the bangle, which she always wore upon her left wrist, with its bright beacon of hope and trust, Dick's last message to her—"Dinna Forget." No, nothing should make her doubt him be was overworked, ill, something had happened to keep him from writing. "Don't worry about it, dear Esther," she said bravely. "Dickwould not leave me without a letter without some good reason for it. Please don't doubt him; you don't know how good ?and kind and thoufBTfful he Tsry©u~~ddn't, iordeed, Esther." "No, I don't," said Esther, dryly; then with an outburst of tenderness very rare in one of her serene and composed nature, she cried: "Oh, don't look at me in that reproachful way, darling. I want to believe this Dick of yours perfect—I do, dear. But when we go on day after day, week after week, and I see your anxious eyes, see your face getting whiter and whiter—why, I cin't help feeling angry at times, and suspicious, and—and as if I should like to kill somebody," she ended passionately. Dorothy did not speak for a long time, but sat tracing the words on her bangle with a very thin and fragilelooking finger. "I know what you must think," she said at last. "And I know what Dick's silence must seem to you; but I promised to trust him whatever happens.and I always will. He gave me this the very last of all," she cried, holding out —"I'^f" mnfh trio small for "A very grand t>lrc\ madam," said Amelia, apparently giving «11 Uer attention to the flower vases. "And Lady Aylmer-^what is she like?" Is she nice—handsome?" "My lady is very handsome, madam," said Ajnella, putting th* last vase In its place, and coming to put a fold of the window curtain straight. "Very haughty and hard-like, but very handsome for all that." "Ah!" Dorothy sat in silence for a minute or two. Amelia Harris began to tidy the little table between the window and the fireplace. "It seems such a pity that—" Dorothy began, intending to say, "such a pity that Lord and Lady Aylmer did not get on well together." Then she broke off short, suddenly remembering that it would not do to speak of Lord Aylmer's private affairs to hiB valet's wife, and also that she was not supposed to know more of them than Lord Aylmer himself would be likely to tell so new an acquaintance as she was. Amelia was looking at her with an expectant expression, and Dorothy made haste to finish her sentence., "It seems such a pity that Lord Aylraer has no heir," she said cmfusedly. Amelia Harris not unnaturally perhaps misunderstood her. "Lord Aylmer has an heir, madam," she said quickly, thinking that Mrs. Harris was giving a keen eye to the future. "His nephew, Mr. Richard Aylmer, is the heir—he is In India." "Ah! yes, really," said Dorothy. She felt very sick and faint as she leaned back among the cushions. Amelia Harris thought she waa disappointed, whereas, in truth, Dorothy was only nervous and upset at the sudden mentloiTbTKer husband's name. "Mr. Aylmer," Amelia continued, "is in the army—in the 40th Dragoons. A handsome young gentleman, but wild —very wild." Dorothy got up. "Yes, I dare say, but I ought not to talk about him," she said, her voice trembling, and her eyes misty with tears. "I must go and dress for our drive." THE DAWN OF WOMANHOOD. Barnest Words From Mrs. Pinkham to Mothers Who Have and a Letter From Mrs. Dunxnore, of Somerville, Maes. The advent of wortaafeood Is fraught with dangers which even careful mothers too often neglect. One of the dangers to a young woman is belated menstruation. *' The lily droops on its stem and dies before its beauty is unfolded;" or she may have entered into the perfection of womanhood with little apparent inconvenience or disorder of health. But suddenly the menses entirety cease. Mother, puberic malady is taking hold of your daughter, and quick consumption may follow! Take in stant steps to produce regular menstruation. Lydia K. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound is certain to assist nature to per"' form her regular duties, procure it at once; there are volumes of testimony from grateful mothers who have had their daughters' health restored by its use. If personal advice is desired, write quickly to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. It will be given you without charge, and it will be the advice of abundant experience and success. Read the following from Mrs. CHARLES DUN-MORE, 103 Fremont fcit., Winter Hill, Somerville, Mass.: " I was in pain day and night; my doctor did not seem to help me. I could not seem to find any relief until I took Lydia E. Pinkham*s Vegetable Compound. I had inflammation of the womb, a bearing-down pain, and the whites very badly. The pain was so intense that I could not sleep at night. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for a few months, and am now all right. Before that I took morphine pills for my pains; that was a great mistake, for the^relief was only momentary and the effect vile. lam so thankful to be relieved of my sufferings, for the paihs I had were something terrible." ~ , - - ^ _ — ' =, = Lydia E. Pinkfram's Vegetable Compound: a Woman's ReTnedvforWoman'sins the pretty bangle now—towards her cousin, "and he gave It as a token between us; 'Dinna Forget.' I k*now It wilt all be right by-and-by, Esther, I know it will; but wait a little longer, before you condemn him, just a little longer." The piteoiis appeal went straight to Esther's heart. "Well, I won't mentionTiim again, Dorothy, dear, not for another month. We will talk about other things. Are you going for a drive today? The carriage will be here at 3 o'clock." "Just as you please, dear," Dorothy answered listlessly. "I think you ought to go. It is good for you, and good for the boy, too. and of course you won't have a carriage— at least, not si ch a carriage—always." "No," said Dorothy. Esther was busy making a wonderful bonnet for the wonderful boy, and she pinned In several folds of lace and tried several effects before she spoke again. "Isn't it odd," she remarked at last, "that Lord Aylmer has teft his carriage and horses and servants in town all this time, when he is away. "Perhaps he never takes theifc out of town," suggested Dorothy. "Perhaps tot. Anyway, it is very pleasant for us as it is," Esther replied. "Well, I shall go and get ready," and, gathering up her bonnet and materials, CHAPTER XXXI. HE waa sobbing passionately by the1 time she got i n o her . own room. "Dick, Dick," shp cried passionately, "it is hard to deny you like this, for it was denying you. though I said nothing. Why are you leaving me to fi?ht my way through all these difficulties alone? I won't believe that you are false to me—not until you tell me so; JUST AS YOU PLEASE. DBAR. she went out of the room, leaving Dorothy alone. Almost immediately Amelia Harris came in, bringing a bag filled with little vases of fresh flowers. "Oh!" said Dorothy, "those are lovely. la tt_,a pretty place, Amelia? I suppose you ha/c often been there." "Ye*, madam; 1 have been there once or twice," Amelia replied. "It is a fine place, is it not?" Dorothj but if it is so, you ought to tell me!" She was sobbing passionately, and the 'scalding tears ran down her poor, pale f. c and over her little cold hands. They recalled her to herself. "No, I will be brave, I won't doubt you, my darling. There is something I don't understand. I will wait a little longer." She unlocked a drawer in her wardrobe, and took out the large picture of Dick which she had hidden out of Lord Aylmer's way. "My love, my dear love, I will trust you and believe you," she murmured fondly. "I will not give way again—I will be brave." She heard the carriage draw up with the usual jingle and dash, and hastily locked the portrait away again. Then she bathed her face in cold water, and tried to remove the, alas! unmistakable signs of tears from her eyes. Not very successfully, though she went out immediately afterwards, walked into the drawing room and found there— Lord Aylmer. "Lord Aylmer!" she cried, then went quickly across the room to him. "Oh! I am so very glad to see you."she cried. "I did not know you.were in town." "I came up last night, dear lady," he said, taking both her hands in his and speaking in a very soft and tender voice. "But you are ill, you are not recovered, you are unhappy about something." "I?" murmured Dorothy, evasively, "Oh! I am not so very well—but " "But you have been crying," said Lord Aylmer, still keeping her hands in his. "Perhaps," Dorothy admitted. "Perhaps! I am sure of it," he returned. "But what is the matter? If .there is anything that I can do. you know that ycu have only to command me." He laid stress on the words "you know," which in any other circumstances would have been enough to put Dorothy on her guard. Now, however, with her thoughts filled with Dick und his strange and inexplicable silei ee. she did not notice the unusual tone. "Oh!" she cried impulsively, "there is something you could do for me if you would." "What?" he said eagerly. "Tell me." But Dorothy did not tell him.. She wasted to say, "I am Dick'e wife, I am so wretched and so unhappy at his absence. Let him come home, and I will love and reverence you forever." That was what she wanted to say; but when she was face to face with tr* opportunity, her eoongt failed her, aa/ she was afraid. (To be SEARCH REQUIRES NO COOKING.

BATTLE OF MATANZAS IT LASTED JUST EIGHTEEN SHORT MINUTES. Th» N«w York, Cincinnati ant*. Puritan Sll«no»d th« SpanUh Batteries In gnle.k Order—Description of the First Engagement of the War. Puritan was a few hundred yards . A correspondent of the New York fress believes that if the clergy united in prayer to that end God would sink every Spanish war vessel. It is well to have faith, but it is safer to keep your powder dry. Suppose, tor instance, the Spanish should pray the Almighty to sink all of our navy? Why would not the efficacy of supplication be as great in one case as in the other? The frequent difficulty in balancing account books has been solved, accord- TfnTWtnT Chicago T-OBI,BytneffffiF urer ot a woman's club, who explains ;her system thus: **I just add up what <I have received, and substract from that what I have paid out, to show what is due the club, and then I make my husband give me a check for the amount." Unfortunately many expatriated cashiers have no husbands. The engagement at Matanzas lasted just eighteen minutes. It began at 67 minutes past 12 and ended at a quarter past 1. The Puritan and Cincinnati were'left on guard at Matanzas and the New York returned to her old position. All told the United States ships fired eighty-six shots at the forts. The forts fired probably twenty-flv # shots. But far more important t1 j a n the destruction of the Matanzas ^ a j _ teries is the conclusion about • _fte j u _ ture, which may be drawn f ^'^ bombardment. This conclus" , o n j g Havana is absolutely at t1 > e m e r c y o f the United States fleet whenever we choose to open fire. T fte flght n e de_ scribes as follows: A(imiral Sampson bombarded, silence j a n d p r e t t y w e ii destroyed the S p - j n i s h batteries in position and in c j D r s e o f construction at the entrance rji the harbor of Matanzas. He did it w,(tn t h e flagship New York, the monger Puritan and the cruiser Cincinnati. Not one of the American fthir* was struck, the Spanish gunnery being wild. There is as yet no means of knowing the number of dead and wounded on the SpanlBh side. It must be considerable. While the New York, Puritan and Cincinnati were reconnoltsrlng in force for the purpose of locate astern on the port side, snd the Cin clnnati remained behind R g i l g n t l y greater distance astern < j n t ^ e | t a r ^f"* lldi!; wL i n e a draWr *hip would have made a' n" acl mm0 «8Wt pPer _to feet triangle.

The engagement fl a few minutes became general, and shore and bay were covered with the wind-blown smoke, while the hollow between the hills roared with the cannonading. Continuing> to cut loose with her guns, starboard and port, as well as fore and aft. the New York steamed quickly in and circled around to the westward toward Point Rubalcava, while the Puritan swung to starboard to engage the Maya batteries. The Maya battery was the more formidable and the fire from it was more frequent, but the shells fell short. The New York Ignored this battery after a minute and proceeded to pay all her attention to the battery on Rubalcava, which was being pushed to completion. It was a beautiful sight to see the target practice of the New York. A At the recent celebration of his <e!ghty-third birthday Prince Bismarck -walked with the help of a goid-handled cane that was given him by the present emperor. Those who saw him thus supported may well have thought of the fateful days when the first Emperor'William leaned on Bismarck as on a strong staff, and by that aid waa enabled to walk sturdily along untried end perilous paths to the imperial thmne. A man in New York gave his girl two brand new front teeth as a wedding gift, "to fill up the gap," as he expressed it. Directly the two separated, and then, on the highway, he tried to pluck the teeth from the gap. and the magistrate before whom he was taten nned him ten dollars lor it. The proprieties of life ou^ht to be respected. Only a stingy man would have limited his generosity to two teeth. He should have given her a fu.l set, a wig, and a cork log. W. S. Gilbert wanted five thousand dollars as damages because a London paper said he was given to pomposity, envy and Ingratitude, and the jury disagreed. Mr. Gilbert satirizes men, women and ideas rather more than any other man, and it is not reasonable that he should be sensitive to that sort of thing a3 applied to himself. It reminds one of the generous lad who said to his companion, "Let us play.. I will hit you with a club and you will back up against the fencs and cry." The suggestion that those who give should be willing to take would evidently come to Mr. Gilbert as a new proposition. Muneie and Richmond. Indiana, are preparing to try the Pingree lot-garden scheme this year on a more extensive scale and systematic basis than any city""In Infllana" has yet attempted. Richmond has been experimenting along these lines "for the last three yer-s—not Individually, but as a city, and unger ctty management. The reeuU « ha«e been wonderful. The poor of the city hare thus been employed and have raised enough each year, to take them through the winter with plenty ©f foar. "The city totmel!

Only the poor need apply and the amount of ground given is regulated by the size of the family. The ground is togokea and prepared by tife city, and the city, through the government, pro* Tiles ail of the seed. All that is required of the poor is to plant, till and c*re for the- ground and harvest the crops. Th* city superintendent supervised all of this work, and if he finds that a m a 4s negligent he will appoint of&eca 4o attsad to the work and reap tMtmmtt.' Tiat system costs the otty •—tthtag, tat tto oost Is alight with savings ia the ing and destroying the formidable defenses being constructed, the flagship was fired on by the batteries on Point Rubalcava and Point Maya, guarding the entrance to the harbor. The New York replied, firing her forward eightinch gun on the port side. She steamed boldly in between the batteries and soon blazed away with both broadsides at them. The Puritan steamed in behind the New York and engaged the fortifications in Point Maya, while the New York went to starboard close up to the land and poured her shells into Rubalcava. The Cincinnati, which had remained well astern under orders signaled for permission to engage and received It, and so^a was firing her guns at the fort on the west side of the bay. The batteries fired explosive shells and most of them fell wide of the mark, One burst just beyond the stern of the New York, and a shrapne! shot exploded above her. It took the three ships Just eighteen minutes to silence the cer of the l<n -•* u»;ny, who was a spectator of the entiBficnrtnt, said it was one of the best shots he had ever seen made. Having practically demolished the Spanish batteries, the ships stood out to sea., Not a shell had struck one of them, but there had been three narrow misseB of the New York. The Spanish fired schrapnel once, which had burst above the ship, a shell had struck Just fore of her, and another struck Just aft. The fact that the Spaniards failed to strike such a large target as the New York, towering as she does like a house out of water, was taken as evidence that they are not good marksmen. On the other hand, every shot that the New York fired after she pot the ranse was pitched right into the batteries." THE NEW YORK. big balloon of smoke would suddenly rise from her side. The eye, following the direction of the spot, would see an instant later a great clod of dust and fragments of concrete and mortar fly high in the air. Then would come the roar of piece, sullen and heavy. The iNew ^ oik had soon reduced the range from 7,000 to 3,000 yards and soon was tossing shells into Rubalcava at the rate of about three a minute j with wonderful precision and apparently great destrurtiveness. In the meantime the Puritan was taking care of Point Maya. It was a long shot to that battery. It was so well masked MONEY TO BURN. The Now American Mnrtur Mattery mi Numly Hook. The new model American mortar battery as now installed at Sanely Hook presents many novelties, we might say, in the art of ordnance hitherto uni;rac\iced, says Le.lie'J Weekly. When the sixty mortars ar# fired at once Sandy Hook will be & new rival to Vesuvius. And as °.ari shot Is twelve inches in diameter as i weighs half a ton, one can see whi, an annoying thing it will be for a*, enemy's fleet to encounter our moi tars on a summer's day. These "bark ers" are to be put in one circuit a n fired from armored turrets placed ii out-of-the-way localities that command a full view of the approaches ta New York harbor from the sea. And as the channels are spaced off into imaginary squares, the officer, with his plane tables and range finders, simply follows the enemy's boats with his telescope. When the instrument locates the fleet on a certain square the telescope connects a circuit that fires a pit previously ranged on that certain square. As these pits are deep in sand surrounded by natural scenery, it is hard even for a Sandy Hook officer to go off shore and locate one. The only weak spot is the Atlantic highlands, from which, if an enemy should capture It, the shelling of the "Hook" could be done. But to take the highlands would be very difficult. It \i Intended that the mortar shells shall be fired into the air at such an angle that they wIM drop upon the momy's decks. No ship ha? yet been built thnt Can resist such an attack. Curiously enough, after they have been fired, you suddenly see them at a gre.u he'ght, sailing along like a Hock of geese. They as suddenly disappear in midair and strike at your feet almrst the THE NEW YORK, PURITAN AND CINCINNATI SHELLING SPANISH FORTS AT MATANZAS, APRIL 27 batteries. The last shot that was fired by the Spanish came from Point Rubalcava. The Puritan replied with one of her 12-inch guns. The shell struck the battery with wonderful accuracy and blew up a portion of it. After waiting In vain tor the Spanish to renew the engagement, the ships withdrew, leaving both-batteries1 In ruins.

The Puritan was doing fully as much harm on the east side of the bay as the New York was doing on the west side. All this time the Cincinnati had remained out of action. Capt.

The batteries and the New York were just giving the signal to retire when one defiant shot was fired from Rubalcava. It was the last shot that battery was ever to fire.

That is why it is acknowledged to be the sovereign Sarsaparilla. It is the original and the standard. The record of the remedy is without a rival,—a record that is written in the blood of thousands, purified by its power. "I mu^ed a lady who was suffering from blood poisoning and mnst have contracted the disease from her; for I had four large sores, or ulcers, break out on my person. I doctored for a long time, both by external application and with various blood medicines; but in spite of all that I could do, the wres would not heal. At last I purchased six bottles of Ayer'8 Sarsaparilla, thinking I would give It a thorough trial. Before the six bottles had been taken, the ulcers were healed, the skin sound and natural, and my health better than it had been for years. I have been veil ever since.

The Greatent Dictionary Now Print** fat " Our Language. Viewed from the standpoint of the critical student of the English language the Standard Dictionary is a guide and reference work sans pareil. It sanctions only the best forms of us- J*ge, giving a full characterization of variant forms, tabulating words as foreign, dialectic, provincial, colloquial, vulgar or barbarous. The importance of this cannot be overestimated, as it at once relieves the mind of the student as to the aptness and elegance of the term required, when there appears to be"<5ne OIHSbTiTeTnWiap the case in point. It is essentially representatively definitive; verifying all definitions by the etymological sense, in a comprehensive, accurate and simple manner. Great care has been exercised in the gathering into the language of new words; provincialisms which are and have been ingrafting themselves into the English tongue are collected and defined; scientific and handicraft terms are likewise treated, and technical terms not in common use among technicians, are rigorously excluded, thus doing away with a great amount of useless bulk. But the crowning glory of the Standard is its persistent and consistent simplification of spelling—the elimination of the diphthong being not the least. As a definitive work it stands supreme. Definitions are given in groups, aa members under generic heada, etymologically veriQed to elucidate meaning, illustrated copiously and aided by synonyms and antonyms. Its full and intelligent system of compounding, scientifically arranged, is a noble stride in the path of progress.

DEWEY'S GREAT VICTORY. HI* Laconic Report* of the Destruction of the BpauUb Fleet. Just one week from the day the great battle at Manila bay \ras fought the first official report of the glorious American victory w u received from the Commodore Dewey, the latest naval hero. The reports were carried from Manila to Hong Kong by the U. S. dispatch boat McCulloch and then transmitted to the navy department at Washington. l They are a» follows: Manila: Squadron arrived at Manila at daybreak. Immediately engaged the enemy and destroyed the following Spanish vessels: Iieina Christina, Don Antonio de L'lloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla <le Cuba. General Lezo, Marquis de Duero, Correo, Velasco, Isla de Mindiano, a transport, and a water battery at Cavitti. The squadron is uninjured, and only a few men are slightly woxinded. Only means of telegraphing is to American consul at Hong Kong. I shall communicate with him. A second report given is out is as follows: Cavite: I have taken possession of the naval station at Cavite, Philippine Islands, und destroyed its fortifications. Have destroyed fortifications at the bay entrance (Corregidore islands), paroling the garrison. I control the bay completely and can take the city at any time. The squadron in excellent health and spirits. The Spanish loss not fully known, but very heavy; 150 killed, including the captain of the Reina Christina. I am assisting in protecting the Spanish sick and wounded. Two hundred and fifty sick and wounded in hospital within our lines. Much excitement in Manila. Will protect foreign residents. DKWEV.

No parallel is to be found in history for this remarkable accomplishment, and to Dewey's credit is placed the first demonstration of the terrible effectiveness of the modern warship manned by brave men and commanded by cool and skillful officers. FIVE AMERICANS KILLED. Hot Fight at Cardenas, Cuba, in Which We Suffered Our First Loss. An engagement in which the first Americans victims of the war fell took place inside the harbor at Cardenas, about 7r> miles east of Havana. The U. S. gnanboats Wilmington and Hudson and the torpedo boat Winslow, entered the harbor for the purpose of reconnoitering to determine the position of masked batteries known to have been recently constructed and to sink three Spanish gunboats which had attacked the Winslow a few days before. The Spaniards permitted the Winslow to get within 700 yards of the shore and the gunboats within 2,500 years before firing.

Many of the American shells dropped in the city and a number of buildings burned. The Spanish gunboat Lopez was sunk and the Lijeria burned. Shots from the shore batteries fell all around the American ships, and one shell burst directly over the Winslow, after hhe had been disabled by a shot which went through her boilers. The Winslow was apparently the center of the Spaniards1 fire and had it not been for the.courageous work of the Hudson in rushing into the thickest of the fire and towing her out of range the torpedo boat would have been sunk. As it was the Winslow was badly riddled and five of her crew killed. The dead: Ensign Worth Bagley; John Varvoris, oiler; Elijah B. Tunnett, cabin cook; George B.
