TSaTTvar&*S& Cawpbe\L On Saturday last, the Driving Club held their first matinee of the season on the race course, in-which only two ot the four races which were advertised came off, owing to the bad weather. A nice rain the proceeding day put the track in fine shape but the rain on Saturday morning made the track muddy and it was thought for a time the races would be postponed. But the weather cleared off and about 3 o'clock the matinee began with the track in fairly good shape but after two races came off, the rain again interfered making it impossible to complete the program.. Considering the weather, the attendance was very good and all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. Although the track was in bad shape, some good time was made by the horses as the following will show: _ — Three Minute Race—Time about 3:40. 1st prize Milla Rhea, owned by J . W.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING. Thirty-ttrttt Michigan Volunteers Mastered Into Uiiclt) Sam's Service and Leave Camp Eaton for Chickamauga—Sad Double Fatality at Lapeer. 31st Michigan to Chlckaniauga. Michigan's first volunteer troops have o e e n sent to the front. T h e 31st Michigan Volunteer regiment, under command of Col. Gardener, bid adieu to Camp Eaton and boarded their train w h i c h was to carry them t o the sunny southland, their immediate destination being Chiekaniauga. There was not the spirit of liveliness manifested by the soldier boys and the thousands of visitors on the day of their departure as there hud previously been. There w a s the sorrow of parting w i t h parents, wives, sisters and sweethearts, but ben e a t h that was the soldierly enthusiasm which made it a thrilling spectacle to see over 1,000 strapping y o u n g fellows bid their comrades good-bye. and make t h e final preparations to start for the front. T h e soldier boys of the 31st felt proud of b e i n g members of the first regiment s e n t out from Michigan. The first battalion was heartily cheered when it left the regimental headquarters to board the cars. Col. Gardener made a short speech to the men, and told them to act like soldiers w h i l e they were on their journey. Gov, Pingree and. his staff bid the boys good-bye and wished ' them Godspeed. The first section w a s in command of Col. Gardener, the second Lieut.-Col. Shubel, and the third section Maj. Charles II. Harrah. The 6rst section, carrying companies D, E, F a n d FI, (Jackson, Lansing and Mason) departed at 1 l:f>r> p m. standard time. T h e second section, containing Cos. A, B, C and G, (Ann Arbor, Adrian, Tecumseh and Ypsilanti), left at 12:21 a. m., third section, Cos. I, K, L and M, (Detroit'and Monroe), left at 12:40 a. m. It was a scene to make the patriotic spirit rise to the highest point. Only t w o men were left behind by Col. Gardeucr. *t)nc was 1$. A. Sweet, of Carson City, member of Co C. who had a hem -Yhage while out drilling and he has uivii ocnt to Detroit for hospital treatment. The other secured a leave of absence, as his mother refused to allow him to go Both will probably receive their discharges. T h e 31st Michigan Volunteers arriVed at Chickamauga on the second morning of the journey, after breakfasting at C h a t t a n o o g a ^ T h e trip had been a very pleasant one in their Wagner sleepers and they received patriotic ovations at various points in Ohio and Kentucky, where young ladies showered flags, candies, fruits and kisses on the boys. The 3*<t Michigan Volunteers to Tampa. Col. M Gurrtn. of the 32d Michigan V o l u n t c c infantry, notified the war d e p a r t m c i t that his command w a s ready to oiove as soon as orders arrived and he hau not long to w a i t for orders. They were a surprise, however, for instead of ordering them to follow the 31st to Chickamauga the war department ordered the 3M to proceed at once to Tampa, Fla.. which would indicate that tlie 3?d will be among t h e first volunteers to invade Cuba. It did not take long (or the boys to get ready lor their journey, but they were delayed two days w a i t i n g for their trains.

Today there is mourning wherever the Anglo-Saxon race has found an abiding place. One of the greatest lights of modern history has been extinguished und the greatest statesman England has had in the past century has passed through the portal of eternity. He is gone, yet, though the mortal breath has llown, he will live and continue to live as long as the Anglo- Saxon race exists, for William Ewart Gladstone was a great man w h o found his way into the hearts of the people, /1 MICHIGAN NEWS ITEMS.

Onlj' about 200 U.

Independent Co. M, Detroit Light Guard, Capt. Cowley, arrived at Camp Eaton 90 strong and o n l y 10 men were rejected. The company w a s immediately tilled w i t h extra recruits taken for the purpose. The company was declared b y the physicians to be the finest body of men yet examined. Capt. R J. Farrar, of the Mt.

He w a s thoroughly heart-broken and his m e n felt equally bad, but by a dint of hustling another examination was secured and he passed. Col.

His friends say he is booked for the command of the first new Michigan regiment raised. While the first of the Michigan volunteers were leaving for the front, t w o of their number lay silent in death at Detroit. Private Frederick Clemett, of Co.

He is to be reckoned among the few—"the immortal few not born to die." His h.as been an influence so profound that it cannot end with the stopping of the heart and the stilling of the tongue. Whenever the mind reverts to contemporary England it inevitably thinks of Gladstone. It sees him in parliament as the greatest debater and political leader in that most powerful legislative body. It sees him in the British cabinet mastering t h e details of administration in the departments of finance, or of colonial affairs, or of the internal relations of the British nation. It sees him at the head of the cabinet shaping the policy of the greatest empire in the world. The mind's eye cannot look at any phase of England's life during this half of the century without beholding this central, all-pervading figure. And with all his greatness of achievement, w i t h all the power over his countrymen which he held, he was always the same unpretending, untitled "Mr. Gladstone." refusing steadfastly to accept a peerage, an honor that to a man of his great character would have been meaningless. >As plain Mr. Gladstone, the great Liberal leader and reformer, the champion of home rule, orator, statesman . scholar a ml Christ la n gcn 11em an the typical man of his country, he is destined to hold a higher niche in the temple of fame than an}' of his titled contemporaries. Naval Hat tie at Cienfuegos. The U. S. warships Nashville, Marblchead, Montgomery and Windoiu were sent to Cienfuegos to cut the Spanish cable there. As the cruisers approached the bay, the new fort at the entrance opened tire. The Windom replied and soon the fortifications were a mass of ruins. The Nashville and Marblehond, meantime,.had endeavored to draw the lire of the masked butteries. The Spaniards refused to unmask, however, and under cover of cannonading the Nashville and Marblehead launched their boats and the. erews pulled into shore where the cable landed, cut the cable and started back. Then the masked batteries on either side of the harbor opened a merciless tire of shrapnel. The boats w e r e riddled and the occupants thrown struggling in the water. This w a s quickly atoned for. The guns of the Nashville and the Marblehead rained shot and shell on the masked batteries. Every shot went true and earthworks, g u n s and Spaniards were seen flying in the air, as each shell burst. T h e Marblehead lowered boats and picked up the men struggling in the water. Six of them were wounded. T w o bodies were also reeuvereiL-^ The ships then bombarded the city and created fearful havoc. Capt. Maynard, of the Nashville, barely escaped a solid shot, but the missile glanced and inflicted only a slight wound. Eight Americans were wounded in the engagement, t w o of whom died. The Cienfuegos lighthouse was destroyed, one fort was leveled, the arsenal was blown up. ami the town set on lire. The Spanish loss was over 400. t The WIIIHIOW and Her Dead Avenged. The gunboat Wilmington returned to Cardenas and terribly avenged the destruction of the torpedo boat Winslow and the k i l l i n g of live Americans, by attacking the masked batteries of the Spaniards. In 55 minutes the batteries were silenced and a portion of the t o w n burned and when a landing party explored the shore the mangled bodies of nearly 120 Spaniards were found, and it is thought that at least 300 were killed in the t o w n . All the damage the Spaniards inflicted upon the Wilmington in return was to make t w o -slight dents in her side.—The light- Flying Squadron Sail* for Cuba. The news of the presence of the Spanish fleet in West Indies waters caused Secretary of the N^yy Long toorder the flying squadron under Commander Schley, at Hampton Roads, Va., to sail at once. As soon as possible five vessels, led by the flagship Brooklyn, steamed out of Hampton Roads and took a southerly course, going, it is said, to augment Admiral Sampson's fleet. The vessels w h i c h sailed were the Brooklyn, the battleships Massachusetts and Texas, dispatch boat Scorpion and collier Sterling. A few hours later the cruiser Minneapolis pulled out at full steam t o overtake the squadron, and w a s soon followed by the cruisers St. Paul (Capt. Sigsbee) and New Orleans. The four vessels of w a r comprising the major portion of the flying squadron under Commodore Schley, anchored off Charleston, S. C , for orders h a v i n g been at sea t w o days and w i t h no sign of Spanish cruisers or torpedo boats said to have been in that locality. Orders were received to proceed t o K e y West and the squadron again sailed southward. Spanish Cabinet Resigns. All the members of the Spanish cabinet have resigned. T h e minister of marine, Bermejo, the minister of war, Correa, and especially the minister for the colonies, Moret, were repeatedly attacked in parliament and out of it. The difficulty, it appears, is to find men w h o are w i l l i n g t o assume office under the conditions w h i c h now prevail in Spain. An empty treasury, internal disorders, and the loss of the Philippine islands, Cuba end Porto Rico are not the only problems confronting the Spanish ministers, and it is not astonishing that under t h e circumstances a military dictatorship under possibly Marshal Martinez de Campos has been discussed. It is officially declared t h a t the new ministry when formed will c o n t i n u e to prosecute the war to the utmost. The queen has authorized Senor Sagasta to form another cabinet. T H E N E W S C O N D E N S E D . Apparently _ well-founded reports* state that the President is about to issue another call for volunteers. The number is given at from 100,000 to 200.000. house and the signal station on Diana Cay were destroyed, the station b e i n g burned by a landing party from the Maebias. The Wilmington entered the harbor of Cardenas and steamed to and fro slowly, and fired shot into the t o w n as fast as the men could handle the g u n s . Every time she turned she let t h e Spaniards have an entire broadside. Many of the Wilmington's shells w e n t over t h e land defenses and ripped their way into the town. Fires started in many parts of the city and for half the n i g h t the flames reddened the sky. The men of the Wilmington examined the entrance to Cardenas harbor for evidence of sunken mines, but found that the only submarine defenses were t w o schooners sunk in the channel.

Washington: A complete c h a n g e h a s taken place in t h e offensive p l a n * of the government. The presence of t h e Spanish fleet in the vicinity of Cuba has caused a delay in t h e departure of the army of Cuban invasion untH Admiral Sampson and and Commander Schley have met and crushed t h e Spanish fleet or driven it from West Indian waters. T h e members of t h e Cleveland division of the Ohio Naval Reserves refused to enlist unless the division was t a k e n in a body. Gen. Greely, chief of the U. S. s i g n a l service, has forbidden West Indian cable companies sending a n y mesaages disclosing U. S. fleet movements in Caribbean waters. Hat Very Little Authentic News of the Movements of War Vessels. Uncle Sam t h i n k s he has suffered enough from taking the public into his confidence regarding every move his army and navy makes or is about to make. He finds t at Spain has as much curiosity about such t h i n g s as the people of this country, and t h a t Spain learns of them as soon as t h e American public. He has, therefore, decided to be less liberal iu s u p p l y i n g such information to the dear public, and incidentally to Spain, and is closing up many of the sources of information. Censors have taken charge of telegraph and cable offices at certain important points and restrictions are placed on press dispatches. At Washington only such matters as t h e departments are w i l l i n g to have generally know are given to the newspaper correspondents. This accounts for t h e scarcity of reliable ''frtews as to t h e movements of w a r vessels. When Admiral Cerveni w i t h h i s Spanish fleet turned up at the French West Indian island of Martinique it w a s thought there would be a b a t t l e at once, but the Spaniard was w i l y and he was next heard of off the coast of Venezuela, ut the I>utch island of Curacao, where it is understood he took on coal and supplies which had been s e n t across the Atlantic ahead of t h e fleet. Again the Dons disappeared as completely as if s w a l l o w e d up by the Caribbean sea, and a l t h o u g h there w e r e reports that t h e y hud reached P o r t o Rico and a score of other points n o n e of them could be verified and w e r e not believed. It w a s the opinion of strategists at Washington that tlie Spanish fleet was trying to reach some Cuban port, either Havana, Cienfuegos or "'Santiago de Cuba witif iTuerled snppircs for Blanco, w i t h o u t e n g a g i n g in conflict with the American warships surrounding the island. It was understood that the V. S. navy department had accepted this view and had t a k e n the necessary precautions to prevent Cerveni'from reaching 'those points, but the next reports which had a n y appearance of authenticity were that t h e KpanUh Fleet Arrived at Santiago Nafely Madrid: The Spanish squadron h a s arrived at Santiago de Cuba w i t h o u t accident, anil found there t w o American warships, which retired w i t h all speed. The queen regent has cabled congratulations to Admiral Cervera. Washington: The navy department has received semi-official information confirmatory of the dispatches from Madrid announcing the arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba. SampHon'H and (Schley's Fleets Unite. The attempt to prevent the Spanish fleet reaching a Cuban port led to the recall of Sampson's fleet after t h e bombardment of San .Juan and also res u l t e d in Commodore Schley's flyingsquadron b e i n g ordered to Cuban waters. The smaller gunboats under Commodore Watson were left to continue the blockade of Cuban ports and Sampson and Schley effected a j u n c t i o n at Key West. Beconcentradoes are Ktarvhvgv The conditions in Havana, r e s u l t i n g -from the blockade, are being gradually,- brought out by information o b t a i n e d from fishing smacks and o t h e r s m a l l vessels captured off the coast. Affairs at Havana now appear to b e w o r s e than at any time since- the' W e y l e r regime. There is little sickness at t h e Cuban capital; b u t there i&zntach starvation. The reconceDtradba.are nearly all dead, or have been, expelled from the city to die in t h e sutaurba. Hundreds of reconcentrados. from t h e b i g reconcentrados barracks, in H a v a n a were too weak to w a l k out of t o w n and fell in the streets and died in t h e suburbs, where flocks of vultures, "Weyler's chickens," as t h e y are n o w termed in Havana, h a v e feasted on t h e remains. In Matanzas> t h i s feature of the situation is e q u a l l y distressing. The fishermen say t h a t t h e Spaniards threaten to burn Havana or b l o w t h e city up in t h e e v e n t of the authorities deciding t o capitulate t o t h e American forces. The Gusto Expedition Failed. Key West: T h e steamer Gussie w h i c h carried arms, a m m u n i t i o n and supplies for the i n s u r g e n t s returned here after a n unsuccessful a t t e m p t to l a n d t h e cargo on Cuban soil. C a p t Dorst, her commander, appeared to be much crestfallen at h i s failure t o accomplish t h e mission intrusted t o him. T h e t w o companies of U. 8. troops had a b a t t l e w i t h the Spaniards near Cabanas w h e n an attempt w a s made to land and 12 Spaniards were killed. The g u n b o a t s Vicksburg and Manning and torpedo boat Wasp fired upon Spanish forces at several points, b u t t h e i n s u r g e n t * failed t o appear at a n y point t o receive the supplies. T h e experience ,of t h e Gussie, in the opinion of most of t h e officers of the fleet, s h o w s the necessity of moving a large body of United S t a t e s troops to Cuba immediately for t h e purpose of seizing and holding a permanent base on t h e island.

The reference library of no publishing or printing house or private Individual is complete without a copy of the Standard Dictionary. N o other lexicon ia so comprehensive, BO accurate, yet withal, so simple. Lack of uniformity has been one great drawback characteristic of every previous work; this uniformity the Standard has secured. Etymological syllabication is another immeasurable improvement which this work has embodied in it. Pronunciation and syllabication have not been arbitrarily arrived at, but rather have been conventionally secured. The conclusions of the leading lexicons have been summed up, and the majority rules in all cases. Then, again, the vocabularies of the craftsman, scientist and mechanic have been carefully scrutinized and collected. This, in the days when every trade and profession has its publication, Is of invaluable assistance to the author, editor and proofreader. The reform in spelling, the scientific compounding, and the etymological syllabication alone cause the Standard to tower far above all other dictionaries as a reference work.

F o r t y - t w o persons are k n o w n t o h a v e lost their lives, and 28 others are reported dead, as the result of tornadoes w h i c h devastated portions of eastern Iowa, western Illinois and northern Wisconsin. The storm in I o w a started near > S t a n w o o d and s w e p t t h r o u g h portions of Cedar, J o n e s , Clinton and Jackson counties. Nineteen persons lost their lives and more t h a n t w i c e as many were injured. The property loss will probably reach 8500,000. I n many places not a building of a n y description w a s left standing-. Cattle, horses and h o g s were killed by the hundreds, in numerous instances fanners lost e v e r y t h i n g they possessed. The Iowa stoi m crossed the Mississippi river into Illinois near Savanna. Considerable damage was done on the Illinois side before this storm spent its force. The second tornado in Illinois started near Stillman Valley and swept northward w r e c k i n g farm houses and k i l l i n g as it went. Hut the greatest loss of life w a s at the point of origin. At Lanark the storm ended by w r e c k i n g the county almshouse and k i l l i n g three inmates, and three others were fatally injured. There were over o() persons in the building when it w e n t d o w n , and all of them were injured. In Wisconsin the storm w a s mort violent t h a n anywhere else, but fortun a t e l y it originated in t h e l u m b e r i n g districts of the northern counties, s w e p t a l o n g t h e line of the "Soo" road and spent its force in t h e pineries. N i n e people are known to have been killed. Unconfirmed reports have been received t h a t 18 lumbermen were killed in a c a m p near^Heafford Junction, and 4 * tsj iJVA, u i ywi-LA c 10 more near Elmhurst. T h e property damage in Wisconsin, w h i l e quite heavy, is much less than that done in t h e fertile farming districts of I o w a and Illinois. A N A N C I E N Y C U S T O M . From Republican Traveler, Arkansas Citr.Kas, Pilgrimage* to soma shrine of St. Vitas, to care the disease known as S t Vitas* dance are no longer made. The modem w a y of treating this affliction is within reach of every household, as ia shown by the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the eleven-year old son of George Wagner, of 515 Kb S t , Arkansas City, Kan. The father tells the story as follows: : "Over a year ago," he nays, "Karl was taken with S t Vitus* dance and continued to grow worse during five months he was under a physician's care. His tongue became paralyzed and we could not understand a word he said. He became very thin, lost the use of his right leg and seemed doomed to become a hopeless invalid. We bad about given up hope wbea Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended to my wife by a lady whose daughter had been cured of a similar affliction by the pills. • "I bought a box of them at once and soon n o t i c e d c h a n g e for the better Karl's c o n - di ion. I was so we 1 pleas-/ e d t h u t I bought more of tuem, t^nd when he had t a k e nxfi v e b o x e s t h e disease d i s - appeared. "That was six m o n t h s A Hopeless Invalid. ago and there has been no return of the disease. The cure was effectual and permanent, and I feel satisfiei that no other medicine could have produced so marvelous a result. W e feel rejo.ced over the restoration of our sun, and cannot be p but teel that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are the most remarkable medk cine on the market." ^ No discovery of modern times has proved such a blessing to ruankiud as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health in the ex* hausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. 1 bese pills are sold in boxes at 50 cents a box or s.x hoxpfi for >2 50, and may be had of a'l druggi ts, or direct bv mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

D e w e y ' s Latest C a p t u r e , Dispatches from Manila, via H o n g Kong, say t h e Spanish g u n b o a t Callao steamed into the bay from the southern islands of t h e Philippine archipelago. Her commander, Lieut. Francisco Pou, did n o t k n o w that war had been declared and had heard n o t h i n g on his w a y up about the battle of Manila. He steamed straight for Cavite, expecting to find the Spanish fleet anchored there. He arrived off Cavite at 7 in t h e m o r n i n g with the Spanish flag flving and signals for t h e admiral up. Dewey's flagship the Olympia opened fire. T h e Spanish commander supposed the s h o t s were for target practice and turned t o g e t out of range, but continued on. The Boston and Raleigh joined the Olympia, and shots were t h r o w i n g spray on the Spaniard's deck, w h e n her commander began to realize that it w a s no joke and pulled d o w n his flag and hove to w i t h a w h i t e flag on his foremast and the R a l e i g h steamed out to intercept him and t h e situation w a s explained to him. T h e n he surrendered peacefully and the Callao w a s brought to an anchorage near the flagship. She w a s an iron gunboat of 208 tons, equipped w i t h four modern g u n s and carrying a crew of 35. The ship w a s spick and span for the admiral's inspection on arrival, The American flag w a s promptly hoisted on t h e Callao, and she w a s added to Admiral Dewey's fleet.

The voices of New York's senators in the national congress are silent during the great opportunity for oratory that comes only once a century. It Would be gratifying if they might speak so that New York might be brought occasionally to the notice of the nation. Not that oratory is so very much better than go«d silent statesmanship, but it at least deserves the reputation of possession of its own soul. Three hundred years ago, when the Dutch navy was at the height of its prosperity, it was the boast of Saardam, its principal ship-building town, that if you gave it six months' notice it would be ready to launch a man-ofwar every day in the year. Even without six months' notice the Key West squadron can do better. Apparently if it were to exert itself a little more it could bag a merchantman every day of the year. War brings out genuine eloquence as well AS peor poetry. It will suddenly occur to some one, years after the speakers are dead, that there was some most excellent oratory in our congress on the subject of the war with Spain. We recognize these things more easily after the cause and the effect of them have passed away. We are apt to ridicule them while the subjects treated are warm. These orators are con ternporaneous with ourselves, and that is tod for them. Astrological superstition is strlkingfy rebuked by the present aspect of the heavens.

ConsuTGeneral Mason, at FranMort, has. sent to the state department a significant report in regard to American •hoes in European markets. He says that the Americans have a much better factory system than exists in Europe, for in this country shoe manufacture haB been specialized. While the European factories employing 100 operatives turn -out 200 pairs of shoes a day, the American factories of the same size produce from 450 to 500 pairs. Consul General Mason says, for the comfort of American manufacturers: "There is nothing of local manufacture in the German market that will at all compare in point of style, durability, cheapness and excellence ol workmanship with the shoes for men, women and youths that are retailed throughout the United States at from $ZM to $ t £ 0 per pair..

Aren't we going to have a beautiful day?" said Antoinette, cheerily, seeming to have caught the contagion of the bright May morning. "1 am so glad it is pleasant, for I well remember how rainy it was last Decoration day. I'm sorry the lilacs are a little backward this year; still I think we shall find enough for a fair showing. Did you bring a basket?" —"1 did.—Tho self-same one that has done service for the last three years. Ralph is coming for me about 11 o'- clock." With that they started for the garden. : :'• 'Utas-Bdswostlvr&Qnt: Ruth," as sh«* was more familiarly Known—was oue of the ordest inhabitants of i^HsautvUie, a sleepy little town nestling among the Berkshire hills, its quiec undisturbed save by the buzz of the sawmill, and, in summer, the busy hive of workers at the canning factory. Everybody knew Aunt "Ruth, and none knew her but to love her. She was one of those elderly women—shall we say rare?—who had preserved a sweet, happy nature, free from disagreeable habits both of speech, and manner. Although over 60 years old. she still possessed that blessed faculty oi adaptability which made her a coveted companion of both young and old. Children were attracted by her cookie jar and a fund of delightful stories, while those of maturer years were charmed with her personality and her entertaining conversation, which ever sparkled with subtle humor, despite an thusiasm and delight, and this Decoration day morning she seemed unusually "hr.ppy. "After all, Aunt Ruth," she said, "there is no season of the year quite so beautiful to me as the springtime, when everything seems fairly bursting with life and delighting in life." "Ah, my dear, it is because you are Just now in the springtime of life yourself. You seem to me very like that little shrub yonder, the bud» just peeping out which shall so soon unfold Into the perfect flower. So do I see in you the possibilities of a beautiful and noble womanhood. But haven't we enough lilacs? The sun is so warm!" "Yes, indeed, we have and I don't care to rob you even for a good cause. 1 am relying upon the girls for a goodly supply." "It's your Sunday-school class, isn't it?" "Yes," answered Antoinette. "Aunt Ruth, won't you go with us? That would make our party complete. Do say yes." "No, I would rather go alone. I am glad, though, that you are interesting your class in this way, for it seems to me that children in these days have too little patriotic spirit, and too little appreciation of the cost of liberty. The decoration of the soldiers' graves "THE BLOODY ANGLE." unmistakable undercurrent of sadness, which at times betrayed Itself in her face. Antoinette Rath bun was particularly fond of Aunt Ruth, and many happy hours they spent together, reading or discussing the various questions of the day, Antoinette was just now in a most beatific state of mind. That which makes the world go round had touched her life and imparted to it fresh enmeans little more to them than a half holiday from school and a happy time gathering flowers. After all, I guess it is better so. Let them have all the sunshine possible; the shadows come soon enough to all of us." "Aunt Hutb," said Antoinette, tenderly, "I've wanted to ask you something for a long time, but I don't know that I ought." "Certainly you may. What is it?" "Will you tell me whose grave you visit so much, and on which you always put such lovely flowers Decoration day?" "You will be surprised, my dear, when I tell you that 1 don't know. It is an unknown grave, but all I needed to know was that he was a soldier. When did you say Ralph was coming?" "Not till 11." "Then come into the sitting-room where it is cool and let me tell you a bit of my own life. Somehow I feel just like it this morning." They laid down their flowers and enjoyed the restfulness of the coxy room. ' "I'm going to lie down," said Aunt Ruth, "and you bring the hassock and sit right beside me and let me tell you what is in my heart. "When you came in this morning so happy and light-hearted my thoughts flew back thirty years, when 1 was about your age, and had just as much to make me happy as you hav~ now. 1 was engaged to a noble man, and, strangely enough, his name was Ralph, too. He was a lawyer, and his fine mind gave promise of a brilliant career. We were to have been married in the spring of '63, but wh£n the war broke out his country's call appealed to his noblest manhood. He didn't say n'uch at first, but I knew that the only obstacle in the way of his enlisting w«*<* the pain it would give me. Ht was perfectly well and strong, an added reason for his going. Ah, well do I remember the night we settled It! How earnestly and tenderly he talked about it! In a few days he was gone. It took more courage than I then thought to make that sacrifice, but my sense of duty to country would not allow me to withhold the word. He joined the Fiftieth New York Volunteer Engineers, Company G, and at first had an easy time. The letters were bright and cheery and full of enthusiasm, so that after a time I grew less anxious and more and more glad that he went. But there came a day when the regular letter failed, and a week passed; and another, and another, and finally one came in an unfamiliar hand and told the- story J so=^i feared. They thought he was killed in the battle of Gettysburg, in the desperate charge at the "bloody Angle," where so many brave men on both sides gave up their lives, but diligent search brought nothing more definite. I sometimes wonder how I have lived through all these long thirty years, but you know we poor mortals can endure more than we think. I have much that is pleasant to look back upon, and much in the future to dream of. And now about that lonely grave. He was a soldier, too, and there was no one to care for him, so I love to place my flowers there, and cannot help feeling that perhaps another is doing the same for .ph." A whistle Interrupted the story and Antoinette stooped to kiss the dear old lady, and in a moment was gone. Late that afternoon, after Antoinette's class had gone and the cemetery was quite deserted, Ralph and Antoinette lingered at a little distance from that grave, quite unobserved by Aunt Ruth, and watched her arrange the flowers, "Do you know," said Ralph, "I never saw anything more pathetic. The men -who enllBtpd and fmight, w i t h r n n r a g p and fearlessness were Indeed brave heroes, but not an atom more heroic than the women who gave their husbands and sons and lovers to die for their country, and have lived on, year after year, bravely and cheerfully hiding their loneliness and heartache behind a happy face.

CHAPTER XXXI.—(Continued.) "Tell me," he eald persuasively. "No—not now—some day, perhaps," the answered. "You shall tell me now," said Lord Aylmer, steadily. He looked so handsome and so determined that possibly in another moment Dorothy would have given in and the mischief would have been out, but fortunately at that moment Esther Brand came in. "Oh! is that you, Lord Aylmer?" she said pleasantly, Lord Aylmer dropped Dorothy's hands with an inward curse;, but he turned to greet Miss Brand with his •blandest smile and most amicable voice. So the opportunity was lost for that dav. "May I join you In your drive?" he said, after a few minutes. "Why, surely; it Is your carriage," answered Dorothy. "Whenever you care to use it, it is yours," said Lord Aylmer gallantly. So it happened that the two ladies and Lord Aylmer went for a drive together. And whilst they were driving along Kensington Gore, a young man who was walking with a lady and a little girl recognized Lord Aylmer, and lifted his hat. Lord Aylmer looked .ajin.Q^eiL;,.buL^ej!^aA--na^thw^chp_ice, than to raise his hat in return. "Who is that?" asked Esther. "Oh, some young man or other—I really cannot tell you," he answered. And Dorothy sat back in the carriage not feeling sorry that the young man tad recognized Lord Aylmer, because in the lady walking beside him she '•ecognized the lady with the cold, OH! IS THAT YOU? serene eyes who occupied the flat above her own. But Esther, who had a dumb and indefinable sense of something wroag, and had seen the look of intense annoyance on his face, chose that moment, of ail others, to ask Lord Aylmer the one question which, though she did not know K, was the most awkward of any that she could have asked him. "Is Lady Aylmer in town?" she asked abruptly. "Yes." He was positively surprised into making the admission. "Oh! then I suppose she will be calling on my cousin before long?" Esther scarcely put the remark in the form of a question, and yet i t was a question. Lord Aylmer found himself in the face of a difficulty for which he was not prepared. Yet he made haste to answer, for Dorothy's cousin was emphatically a young woman who could not be ignored. "I do not think I can answer for Lady Aylmer in that respect," he said, with his moat-punctilious air. "She and I do not in any 9ny live the same life, do not visit in the same society, except to much as is unavoidable at Aylmer's Field. In fact, we do not get on very well togethermore is the pity—and she goes her way and I go mine, without one in any way trying to influence the other. It is just possible that Lady Aylmer may call on Mrs. Harris; but, again, it is exceedingly probable that nothing would induce her to do so. Really, I cannot answer for her one way or the in fondest anticipation of their meeting in a few months' time. While he was sitting there brooding over his thoughts, a young man^dreesed in* white garments came through a doorway behind him, and pulled up a big chair a little nearer to Dick's, in which he carefully disposed himself. "Really, Dick," he remarked, "I don't call this half a bad place. Not so jolly as London, of course, but still not half bad." "I hate It," answered Dick, shortly. The other, fresh from home, looked at him with amused pity. "Poor old chap! like town better. Yes, of course. Why did you come out, then, eh? You got the post that was meant for me." "Lord Aylmer got the appointment, and I had to come—I had no choice. I shouldn't be here if I had, you may be sure," Dick answered. "Ah! Lord Aylmer. Queer old chap, eh?" "Awful old brute," said Dick, with a sigh; "but he happens for the present to be the ruler of my fortunes, and a thorough-going old martinet he Is, too." "Ah! I saw hira the other day." Dick looked up with some Interest. "Did you. though? In town?" "Yes." Now, town to Dick meant where Dorothy .was, ajadUfox hall.jfta inftanljhe had a wild idea that this man might be able to give him news of her. It died almost in its birth, however, and he said, indifferently enough. "Were you In town long?" "A fortnight altogether. My sister llve3 in town, you know." "No, I didn't—didn't know you had a sister." "Oh, yes; she's a widow—had a little flat." "A flat!" Dick pricked up his ears. "Yes. Where?" "In Kensington. Palace Mansions they're called." "In Palace Mansions?" Dick managed to repeat. The whole world seemed to be blotting out in a strange and insidious fashion, and it was two or three minutes before Dick came to his full senses again. "I don't think she ought to live there," Marston went on, not looking 'at Dick, but attending to his pipe. "Living itione except for the child. You never knc*v what the other people are, don't you inow. Now, there's a pretty little woman living in the flat below her •" „ " What number ia your sieter^a^ Dick asked in a harsh, strained voice. "No. 6," Marston answered. In the flash of an instant Dick had made a wild calculation. Yes, he meant Dorothy by "a pretty little woman." "Well?" he said. He felt sick and faint and cold; he knew that now he was on the eve of news, and Marston's tone had made him dread to hear it. Marston, all in ignorance, went on speaking. "Such a pretty girl. I saw her several times—fairish hair and delicate-looking, almost like a lady. Well, she went to live in the flat below my sister's and was very quiet. Husband came and went. My sister fancied it was a bit suspicious, and was careful to get no acquaintance with her. Well, for some months all went smoothly and quietly enough, then she heard, through her servants, I suppose, that Mrs. Harris' husband had gone off to India, and that she was going out later when the child was born." "Was there a child?" Dick asked. He was trembling so that he could scarcely force his lips to frame the words. Marston noticed nothing, but went on with the etory. "A child. I don't CHAPTER XXXII. I] k N a veranda of the Government House at Madras, Dick Aylmer sat smoking— smoking and & brooding over the inexplicable tangle which we call life. He had now been three months witho «t one word from Dorothy. He did not know if the child had been born or not, if mother or child were living or dead, if Dorothy, his dear little wife, wefe tatoe or ttw. He bad heard from her once after reaching India, when she had written in good spirits and wish jnasar words of love for his*, and IMPOSSIBLE! know if there was one then—there's one now. I've seen it." Dick sat still by a mighty effort, "Well," he said. "Well, only a few days after the poor chap had gone my sister saw her handed into a smart carriage by .an old gentleman— heard the footman call him 'my lord'—pair of highstepping horses —all in grand style. And now that carriage is always there, and who do yon think the old gentleman 1s?" "How should I know?" answered DJcft, wh£t!«^goiBSJOTeT and oyer the postscript of h;s uncle's letter. "You'll Know when I tell you,'''said Marston with a chuckle; "it was your old uncle, Lord Aylmer." "Impossible!" Dick burst out. "Not Impossible at al^. my dear chap," said Marston coolly. "I saw her driving with him myyelf, and jolly wretched she looked owBr.it. I must say I pitied the pooxwreVll out here; but I dare say he is having a very good time all the same. Eh? What?" he asked of a native servant; who had noiselessly approached him. "My lady wishes to speak to you, sir," said the man, who spoke very good English. "Oh, all right, I'll come," and Marston went in, leaving poor Dick to fight his battle of pain alone. So that was it, after all. No, he wouldn't believe it, and yet—yet—how could he help believing it? Marston had told him the plain, unvarnished facts, not knowing that Dick Aylmer and Mrs. Harris' husband were one and the same man. So this was why his uncle had suddenly taken a guiding hand in his fortunes—this was why he shipped him off to India, at what might be called a moment's notice. "He had seen my Dorothy, and wanted me out of the way, and he got me out of the way, and my darling—but no, no —I will believe nothing—nothing until I have seen her. As soon as Lord Skeyversleigh returned to the house Dick sent to ask if he could see him, and to him he explained something of the position of affairs, ending with, "I must go home, If it costs me all I have in the world." Now, it happened that Lord Skevverslelgh, though he liked Dick very wellr-hadparfeicularl^y-=wish«d= to-make Marston his literary secretary, and had he been able to refuse his old friend Aylmer he would certainly have done so. There were, however, certain pages of past history which practically precluded this possibility, but they did not preclude him' from allowing Dick to throw up his appointment and betake himself home as soon as he liked; and with the very next steamer Dick said good-by to India and to Government House and set sail for his naiive country, hurrying off the boat at Brindisi and journeying homeward overland like an avenging spirit with whom the wicked old man who was the head of his house would have a very hard reckoning and but scant quarter. For always in his heart there was that piteous appeal: "This long silence is killing me—for God's sake put me out of suspense, one way or the oth«r." TRIALS OF SALESWOMEN. Plnkham S a y s Standing StUl la One of Woman's Most Trying1 Tasks. Have you ever thought why it is taat so many women or girls rather walk fur an hour than stand still for ten minutes? It Is because most women suffer from some derangement of their delicate organism, the discomfort from which is less trying when they are in motion than when standing. So serious are these troubles and so dangerous to health that the laws in some states compel employers to provide resting places for their female employees. But no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. Customers are exacting, and expect the saleslady to be always cheerful and pleasant. How can a girl be cheerful when her back is sailed by lassitude and bearingter how sweet tempered she is way under the pain after a while, want cross and snappy saleswo important capital, and no one can be If you are ill or suffering, write # ^ ach ing, when ah e is as* down pains?

Your letter will not be seen by any man, and Mrs. Pinkham's advice will cost you nothing. Read this letter from Mrs. BIABGARET ANDEBSOX, 403 Lisbon St., Lewiston, Me. "DEAR MRS. PINKBAM:—For years I had suffered with painful menstruation every month. At the beginning of menstruation it was impossible for me to stand up for more than five minutes, I felt so miserable. One day a little book of Mrs. Pinkham's was thrown into my house, and I sat right down and read it. I then got some of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills. " I can heartily say that to-day I feel like a new woman; my monthly suffering is a thing of the past. I shall always praise the Vegetable Compound for what it has done for me."

The fast P. and O. be a seemed to be standing still, the passage through the Suez Canal was maddening, although they went straigkt through, which was as lucky as urusual. Then there were the seemingly endless delays in getting off the steamer and into the train at Brindisi, and when at last they were fairly off the train seemed to crawl along no faster than the boat. Yet, in spite of all this impatient and vexatious anxiety, Dick made an unusually quick Journey home, and in fifteen days from touching at Bombay he found himself walking along the platform of the Victoria station. It was hard on the time of Christmas— crowds of people were hurrying to and fro, most of them with that busy and Impatient look upon their faces which even the dullest persons generally assume at the approach of the festive season/ But Dick did not trouble himself much about them. He had very little luggage to impede him, all his heavy baggage having been left in the steamer to come by sea— in fact, he had only his ordinary portmanteau and his hat-box, a couple of rugs and his stick; all of these he had with him in the carriage, so that he was almost the first passenger to get his luggage passed. "Cab, sir?" asked his porter, "i es, hansom," Dick answered. The man shouldered the portmanteau and went off to the cab rank, Dick following; but he was not destined to reach it without interruption, for as he crossed the less crowded part of the platform he heard an exclamation of surprise and fonnd himself face to face with Lady Aylmer. "Dick, Dick, Is it you?" she cried, staring at him. Dick put put his hands to her. MYes, Lady Aylmer," he said; *Tve come back. I'm in trouble—horrid trouble!" "My dear boy, how?" she cried. Dick looked about him; he was anxious not to waste a moment in getting to Palace Mansions. "You are going away," he said, uneasily. "I am keeping you. It is a long story, a n d ! am anxious to get home to my wife."

A worthy old gentleman who had never wandered far from his native township before, went to Boston one day in response to an Invitation to visit a relative. The Bostonian, in showing his friend about town, took him to the top of a tall office bulldog. They took a look at the marvelous landscape spread out before them and prepared to descend. They entered the elevator. It began its swjft Journey dowBward. "Don't be frightened, Uncle Silas," said the younger man, at hit visitor grasped his arm, shut hit eyes, and held on for life, "There 1t no danger." "I wasn't afraid, G«orge," gasped Uncle Silas, after they had stepped out of the elevator, "but I—I left my stomach up there!" ,on't be deceived by paying a faucy price for an oil that has a fictitious value and which does not give as good results as are obtained from our Water White Electric Oil.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING. She 83d and 84th Michigan Volunteer* Ordered to Osmp Alger, near Washington— Mohlgan National Guard It Now Oa> •* Exlatoaee. Michigan's Soldier Uoy*. The 33d Michigan Volunteers arrived in Tampa after being on the road 72 hours. They found the heat very oppressive and the fine sand oovered their (aces, hands and clothes. They received enthusiastic receptions all along1 the line. The 33d Michigan is the best equipped regiment at Palometto beaeh. When it marched into camp the soldiers already there thought it was a regiment of regulars, and cheered it to the echo. As soon as the tents were up the boys took a dip in Tampa bay, it t>eing the first time they had had a (path since leaving Island Lake. Maj.- pen. Shatter and Brig.-Uen. Hawkins visited camp and inspected the troops. There were greatly pleased with the Michigan regiment. When the last company of the 34th Michigan Volunteers had been mustered at Camp Eaton the authority of the state of Michigan at once ceased at the camp and Uncle Sam was then in ftharge. In fact it was the last act in Sractieally wiping out of existence the [ichigan National Guard and relieved the state department officers of any Immediate military duty, with the exception of Quartermaster-Gen. White, who still had someequipments to issue, The camp was therefore formally turned over to Col. Boynton, of the 33d as the senior officer. When the last company had been mustered at Camp Eaton it was found that Miohigan had furnished 4,063 men to help Uncle Sam fight Spain. This Is 43 men short of the full quota asked for and was caused by rejections by the surgeons at the last hour of muster, or by the throwing out of minors not properly authorized by legal papers in due form to enlist. Capt. Irvine> the mustering officer, rejected one man on the final muster of the 34th because ho had left at home a family of eleven children. Dr. Julius M. Wilhelm, of Manistee, marched into Camp Eaton as a private. He was a finely built and intelligent man and a sergeant being needed in the company he was at once advanced to that position. The 34th regiment, to which the Manistee company is assigned, needed a surgeon. Gov. Pingree learned that Sergt. Wilhelm was a surgeon and after consulting prominent Manistee people appointed hira surgeon with rank of major, and a salary of $1,800. The first death among the Michigan soldiers at the front was that of Private Henry H. Meginnis, of Co. I, 31st Michigan, at Chickamauga. Meginnis took a heavy cold at Camp Eaton and on the way south it developed into pneumonia. His parents live at Fenton but Meginnis was mustered in with the Detroit Light Guards. Dr. 0. B. Nancrede, formerly a U. of M. professor now major-surgeon of the 33d Michigan Volunteers have been presented with a fine horse by ex-Regent L. L. Barbour, of Detroit, and the students of the medical department presented him with an equipment. The kind of soldiers that Michigan is sending to the front is shown by the fact that Roy Alberts, a private in Co. C, 34th regiment (Muskegon), graduated from the military academy at Orchard Lake as senior captain. ' Lieut. Edwin B. Winans, of the Fourth U. S. Cavalry, who has been H. 8. mustering officer at Camp Eaton has been appointed to the vacant majorshipof the34th Michigan Vo unteers. The jttd and 34th Michigan Volunteer regiments have been ordered to the rendezvous at Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va., six miles from Washington MICHIGAN NEWS ITEMS. The U. of M. will graduate over 700 students this year—200 more than last year. The U. of M. oratorical association held an interesting Gladstone memorial Mrs. Nellie Gardner, of Kalamasoo, died at her home from injuries received by being run over by a bicycle rider. Wm, Groahaas, a fanner near Royal Oak, was abusing his wife when her brother, John Die, started to her assistance, ttroshana secured an old musket and fatally shot Die. A half-starved man was found in an Erie box car at Ravenna. He said he entered the car in New York state and someone locked him in. He had been five days without food or drink when discovered. The women's gymaaium of the U. of M. has ' e <eived 930 towards its equipment ft n i , contributed by the Ladies' Literary club of Grand Rapids as the proceeds of a lecture by Prof. Wenley, of the univers ty. Elisa Mitchell, colored, was convicted at Grand Rapids on the charge of starving her baby to death. She claims that she had to work 14 hours a day and could not give the baby proper care or attention. The large Buchanan dam across St. Joseph river is a total loss in spite.of all efforts to save it. The structure, was 400 feet long, and was built in '03 in the deep channel of the St. Joseph river. It cost $35,000. . Edward Stein back, a young man engaged as carriage rider in the hardwood mill of the Wisconsin Land & Lumber Co., at llarmansville, was thrown upon a circular saw and nearly cut in two. He was killed instantly. The Farmers' Handy Wagon Co., of Saginaw, is shipping 50 wagons a day to Tampa on an open order from the government. Morley Bros, are making largo quantities of belts and cartridge boxes and the Freud Milling Co. is furnishing compressed food.

Tho Hawaiian government will not proclaim neutrality, but will allow the United States to raise the American flag over the island and use the same as a base of supplies. The Spanish gunboat Isabel II fired on and disabled the British steamer Roth at San Juan. Porto Rico, in order to oblige her to unload a carpo of coal she had on board. President McKinley has established a "censorship" over the cabinet. Hereafter, only Secretary Long and Secretary Alger are to be cognizant of war secrets. Other members of the cabinet are to know only such war news as the President and his war aids may think it advisable to tell them. Orders have been issued to coast collectors of customs to prevent the clearance of vessels laden with coal for West Indian, Mexican, Central American or South Ameriean port3 without a special permit from the treasury department as long as the. Spanish fleet is at large in American waters. The objections of Maj.-Gen. Wesley Merritt to being sent as military governor of the Philippines with less than 4,000 regular troops besides 11,000 volunteers is supported by the opinions of many regular army officers, and throe regiments now at Tampa will be Th,e President has issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 more volunteers. This will make the total army strength, regular and volunteers, 880,- 000. The proclamation is as follows: Whereas, An act of congress was approved on the 95th day of April, 1808, entitled "An act declaring that war exists between the United Staves of America and the kingdom of Spain,"and Whereas, By an act of congress entitled "An act to provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United States in the time of war, and for other purposes," approved April 22, 18U8, the President is authorized in order to raise a volunteer army, to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States. Now, therefore. I, William McKinley, President of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the constitution, and the laws and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have thought fit to call forth and hereby do call forth, volunteers to the aggregate number of 75,000 in addition to the volunteers called forth by my proclamation of the 23d day of April in the present year; the same to be apportioned, as far as practicable, among the several states and territories and the District of Columbia, according to population, and to serve for two years unless sooner discharged. T h e proportion of each state and the details of enlistment and organization will be made known through the war department. Secretary Alger said the additional volunteers called for will not be recruited from the National Guard, as were the first 125,030, but that the enlistments will be open. The regulations referred to in the proclamation under which the enlistments will be conducted have not yet been prepared. Troop* Sail for Philippine*. The first division of the army for the invasion of the Philippines sailed from San Francisco on the steamers City of Peking, City of Sydney and Australia. The First California volunteers were given an ovation seldom equaled as they marched from the state camp at the Presidio, five miles through the streets of San Francisco to the dock to embark on the City of Peking. The regiment was composed of 49 officers and 053 enlisted men, and besides these the City of Peking carried 10 officers ^nd 71 anilnrw nf the, n a v y T h o City yf inent already there awaiting transportation. The U. 8. auxiliary cruiser St. Louis and tug Wampatuck cut the Spanish cable off Santiago de Cuba and also the one at Ouantanamo, thus leaving Cuba with only one line by which Blanco can communicate with Madrid, and that via Jamaica. The warships had hot fights with the batteries at both points, but came oft* with little damage •after silencing most of the batteries. In the Canadian parliament at Ottawa one member said he hoped Spain would give the U. S. a "bit of a spanking." A chorus of "no, no" from all parts of the house was the reply, and Premier Laurier and Sir Chaa. Tupper at once declared that if there could be any feeling in Canada other than neutrality in the Araerican-Hispano war it was one of sympathy and hearty cooperation with the United States. i , y Sydney carried 13 officers and 318 enlisted men of the Second Oregon volunteers; 9 officers and 300 men of the first companies of the 14th U. S. infantry, one officer and 50 men of the California heavy artillery. The Australia carried the headquarters, staff and band and two battalions of Oregon volunteers, comprising 37 officers and 670 men. The delay in sending troops to the Philippines has been occasioned by the lack of suitable vessels for transports. Only vessels flying the American flag can be used, but the navy department received an offer from the Northern Pacific Steamship Co. at Seattle, placing at the disposal of the department the comnany's entire fleet of steamers, provided they be given American register. The ships are the Tacoma, Arizona, Columbia, Victoria and Argyll. All are British built vessels and fly the British flag, but congress will be asked to give them American register and they will be utilized at once as transports. There are also several situable American vessels which will be secured as soon as they arrive from Oriental ports., The Monterey gent to Dewey. The big monitor Monterey has -been ordered to proceed to Manila to reinforce Admiral Dewey's fleet. The Monterey is probably the most formidable monitor in the world, yet she combines with the enormous offensive and defensive qualities of the monitor type a seaworthiness that is almost phenomenal. The Monterey is 4,000 tons displacement, 256 feet long by 59 feet beam and 14 feet 6 inches draft. She carries in two turrets surrounded by barbettes, two 12-inch and two 10- inch guns, six 6-pounders, four onepounders and two gatlings. The turrets are eight inches thick and the surrounding barbettes ore 14 inches and U K inches of steel, and against this armor all the batteries of Manila might thunder without effecting an entrance. The Monterey's personnel is 19 officers and 172 men, and once she is safely in the entrance of Manila harbor nothing in the Spanish navy would be likely to budge her. The British government has notified the Newfoundland authorities to prevent the coaling of Spanish vessels in those waters. Reports from MestUsv state that- Ad> m i n i Dewey's blockade is thoroughly efic&ent. It is becoming daily snore apparent that the Philippine insurgents sanaot be trusted asalUea of the Ameir* tcaaa, naif of them being in favor of Spain. T H E INVASION O r CUCA. Me HoeoMlty tor Loe*or Dotty and She Troop* Wlllllovo toon. PresidentMoKlnley has demonstrated that it i s the policy of the United States to have an army of ah^pt 300,000 men ready for business wltbhr*> month. This army will consist of *A0M regulars, 800,000 volunteers, 10.,000 especially e .listed men who have suffered from oontanglous disease likely to be encountered to ,the tropics, and who are thexeforft.considered impervious to susjfi to»ftt»fjLt|t a,AJ» ^rougJl riders" c*Si?£WRvL%*»»<t»^»l»t 8fc0Qtt >uore spos oial men forming an engineer corps and a signal corps of the volunteers. According to the best advices the President's intention is to have 40,000 or 60,000 of those troops sent to the Philippines for the purpose of occupying those islands completely. These men will be sent from San Francisco just as rapidly as they can be equipped for the journey and embarked on transports. About 100,000 will be transported to Cuba just as soon as Maj.- Gen. Miles can complete his arrangements. About 20.000 more are destinod for Porto Rico, which island it is the intention of the United States to capture and hold. The President favors having Gen. Miles lead the way to Cuba with as near 70,000 men as can be prepared for service within two weeks, and Gen. Brooke to command the expedition to Porto Rico. The Cuban invaders will go first and will comprise two^thirds of the regular troops and as many of the volunteers us can be prepared. The Porto Ricoexpedition will, as far as possible, embrace the volunteers from the eastern states. U Dispatches fr m Washington and Tampa indicate that there will soon be a movement of the army of Cuban invasion. With the^powerful fleets under Sampson and Schley keeping Cei> vera penned up Pufa1§q^axrfon"oTEQoixt^ tors guarding the Yucatan passage, the war department feels that the invasion need not longer be postponed, and all speed is being made in preparing for the transportation of the troops. It is suggested that 25,000 men be landed on Cuban soil west of Havana and strong fortifications thrown up to serve as a base of operations. The landing of a larger force would follow later without difficulty. Should the original plan be carried out of sending only regular troops on the first expedition the fleet of transports at Port Tampa 1B amply sufficient for that purpose. With the arrival of the Iroquois, Santiago and Cherokee 21 transports are now at the port, every one fitted for embarkation. The ships will easily accommodate between 25,000 and 26,000 men, somewhat over the totalyUumbcr of regular troops in camp at Tampa. It is thought 36 hours after orders are issued to embark every man, horse and pound of supplies can be placed on board the vessels in waiting. Maj.-Gen. Shafter, In "command of the troops about Tampa, says that 75,- 00Q troops, with artillery, would certainly be all that would be needed for the invasion of Cuba. There are encamped about Tampa one brigade of light artillery, five regiments of cavalry, 15 regiments of infantry, and three companies of engineers. Besides these there are over 20,000 volunteers from various states in Gen. Shafter's district. Heavy batteries and huge siege gups will follow the troops to Cuba as soon as a base of supplies is established. n'i» i m (Hi § M 1 IMP Cowered by Amftricah War£trt}>$ . j n ^afit^o" H*rbo/T MUST SURRENDER 0ft STARVE ' ' < > ' ' • .

Oregon Arrive* and Hall* Agotm Secretary Long received an official dispatch announcing the arrival of the battleship Oregon in Jupiter Inlet, Fla. Lieut. Davis, of the Oregon, came ashore and announced that the Marietta and Buffalo were lying out with the Oregon. "Our race," said Lieut. Davis, "was a most exciting one, and especially after we left Bahia, for we then knew of the possibility of interception. Capt. Clark, however, kept the little fleet in constant readiness, and had we run into the Spanish fleet we should have been beard from. As it is, we are all happy that our race from* San Francisco is now ended, and that we shall have a chance to take part with the fleets now looking for the Spaniards." Later—-The U. S. battleship Oregon has left Jupiter, FJa. Volunteers Land In Cibt. Unless some accident has befallen the U. S. transport Florida there are now U. S. volunteer troops on the island of Cuba. The Florida left Port Tampa last week with several hundred volunteer troops o& board. The passengers belonged to the regiment of Cuban volunteers organised in the lower extremity of Florida some weeks ago. If this expedition is sv success other troops will be rushed into the island as soon as possible. Besides the 400 Cubans, the Florida carried five carloads of ammunition, 10,000 Springfield rifles, several Hotchkiss one-inch rapid fire field guns and 75 pack mules. Just where the landingplace was to be was kept a secret, but it was supposed in Tampa that the Florida was to land withis) twelve miles of Havana. Authentic dispatches received at Washington state that the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera is in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba and the U. S. fleets under Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley are maneuvering outside. The great naval battle of the war may take place in or near the harbor of Santiago. Now that Sampson and Schley have met and found Corvera in Santiago the question is how to get ut him. To run the guns of the Morro (round) castle and other strong fortifications and the torpedo defenses will be difficult. Only one ship can puss in at a time, The dangers of such expo*ure are tremendous. An attack on the fortifications by bombardment will probably be the first movement. Even with the mines destroyed the Spanish men-of-war can operate with deadly effect in guarding the pass to their liaven. No better position could have been chosen by the Spanish admiral. To overcome him a proc ssion of the American ships will have to fire broadside after broadside through and beyond the land-locked pass. A blockade might starve Cervera out and make him issue from the bay to fight in desperation, but the place is believed to be well stocked with food. = ^ H f t g t v n ^ l n *Mff\\ j p l e c t o r ) fry ^ m m n . dore Watson's squadron of 14 vessels, and it is possible that with Cervera bottled up at Santiago an attack may be made on both places at the same time. At Washington opinions differ as to what should be done. There is a sentiment in the navy in favor of keeping the Spanish fleet pocketed in Santiago harbor. There is a sentiment equally strong in favor of wiping out the Santiago batteries and the Cervera fleet by a combined land and naval attack. Naval officers all agree on one point, that the Spanish position is strong and the problem difficult. It is confidently expected that should the Spanish attempt to force a passage to sea the news of the total destruction of their fleet may be expected at any time. It 1B authoritatively stated that the situation of the Santiago harbor is such that our gunboats, which are available for the purpose, could successfully prevent the escape of the Spaniards, thus relieving a considerable part of both fiampEon'i nnd S^hlpy'a <Wt« fnn f>p*»rations elsewhere. Members of the administration regard the present situation as most favorable for our cause and do not doubt that in a very short time the Spanish fleet will be utterfy destroyed and active operations begun against Havana by both our military and naval forces. The published report that another ' and more formidable fleet is en route from Cadiz to the relief of the imprisoned squadron is not credited by members of the administration, but should this prove to be the fact, the move would be welcomed by our naval authorities, as it would certainly result, it )*; said, in the destruction of the two ' fleets instead oi one. Wo WIU Have to Annex Hawaii, Now. The sending of the invading expeditions to the Philippines will affect the Hawaiian question vitally. Like the eruiser Charleston, the transports whieh carry troops must stop at Hawaii to replenish their coal bunkers. If the Hawaiians let us take this coal without the pretext that we are using it to make our way to our nearest home port, as is required by international law in such cases, they will stand convicted of a gross breach of neutrality that, in the eyes of the law of nations, allies them with the United States in hostility to Spain. The taking of coal by the American ships at Hawaii to make an extensive campaign against the Spanish possessions will undoubtedly result in compelling the United States either to assume a protectorate over t h e islands or to annex them. T H E WAR S I T U A T I O N . The French ship chartered by Senor Polo y Bernabe to carry coal to St. Pierre, Miquelon,' where the Cadis squadron la expected t o replenish its bsmkera, la reported }<wt at sea, with allhAods. Col. Grigsby's battalion 190 oowboys from the northwest, dressed in full cowboy outfit, created a sensation in Chicago where they stopped one day on their way to the front. The Spaniards are preparing what they call their third Atlantic squadron which will consist of the Priaeesa de Asturias of 7,000 tons, with a speed of 20 knots; the Cardinal Clsneros, same size and speed; the Lepajaip, .6*000 tons. 20 knots, and t h e N s m g n d a and the Vitorla, which are being rearmored.

"Tour wife, pick!" cried Lady Aylmer, opening her eyes wider than ever. "Why—but there, I won't keep you. Come with me; I have the brougham here. I've been seeing Constance Seymour off; ehe has been staying a few days with me. I will drive you where • you like; the cab can bring your luggage." "That Is awfully good of you," sail Dick. **I can tell you the whole story as we go along. But first tell me where Is be?" "My lord? In town," with a significant nod. "There Is somebody, and I don't think he has been svcesBful this time. Something is going on, and his temper is fiendish, and I'm afraid, my dear Dick, he will take your return badly." "I don't think, Lady Aylmer," answered Dick, steadily, "that he will find himself in a position to make any remarks on the subject. Then you don't know what he is after just now?" "Not in the least. And I don't choose to ask the servants, though I dare say they know all about it," she answered. "Then," Dick said, "I will tell you. May I close this window? I feel the -Change of_climate a jlttle. Thanks. Well, Lady Aylmer, I have been married more than a year, and he saw my wife, and—and did her the honor to admire her. He sent me out of the way to India, and look at this," opening his pocket-book rnd showing her a »crap of newspaper. "I have not heard from my wife for more than three months, and then I found this—a pitiful message from her to me. I have written, telegraphed, eaten my very heart out, and he has stopped all communication between us. She is breaking her heart, believing that I am false to her— I, who only live for ber." j "And when you meet my lord—there will be a reckoning?" Lady Aylmer said inquiringly. "Yes," answered Dick grimly, "there willfie a reckoning, and I don't think Lora Aylmer will venture to question me about my return home." They very soon reached the road in which Palace Mansions may be found, and as the brougham drew up at the entrance to the building Lady Aylmer uttereu an exclamation of surprise. "My dear boy, you will catch him in the ecf —that is our carriage." The servants were huddled up in furs over their gorgeous liveries, but Dick knew them instantly. They, too, recognized Lady Aylmer, and touched their hats. "Go straight in," she said. "Which are the windows?" "To the right of the door," Dick answered. They were scarcely an instant, and Dick felt in his pee'et. "I took my latch-key by accident," he whispered. thought you were so kind and good and fatherly; but I see my mistake now. I suppose X ought to be angry with you. only it seems ridiculous to be angry in that way with an old gentleman like you." "I am not old, Dorothy. I should always be young if you cared for me," he replied. "Oh, I dare say," answered Dorothy, indifferently; "but I am married, and I am very miserable." "Let me make you happy," he urged. "Could you give me the moon if I cried for it?" she asked with soft scorn. "Do not talk nonsense, Lord Aylmer. Go home and try to realize that you have mistaken a good woman and a faithful wife for something else; and try to remember, too, that if you persist In your useless attentions you become my persecutor." "I shall never givs you up," he cried. "No," said. Dorothy, wearily, "because you cannot—you cannot give up what you have never had. I am nothing, and have never been anything but a wish to you. I never shall be—never," with a suddeh gust of passion. "Not if you stayed on your knees from now till crack of aoom." _"An4_you.think.1 shall take this answer?" he cried, furiously. ~ "J am sure of it," said Dorothy, quietly. . "You cannot help yourself. I have no other to give you." "You think I will leave you—to go dreaming on about the fellow who betrayed you and deserted you, who has left you for months without sign or naroo, who " "Married me," cried Dorothy, goaded into betraying her secret at last "I am D'cVs wife—I shall be Lady Aylmer Borne day." "Damnation!" cried the old savage, In a fury. "My boy is your heir, my lord," she c^led, triumphantly, "so you see how likely, how very likelv, the other arrangement is." Then she broke down and began to cry piteously. Dick went a step further \nto tho room. "Dorothy," said the old lord, "I beg of you not to cry like that. I will do anything, everything, to make you happy— I will settle five thousand a year nn you," at which Lady Aylmer spread "YOU SCOUNDREL! * "I little thought I should find It so useful." The next moment he had opened the door, when Amelia Harris, hearing him, came quickly out from the kitchen and fell back aghast to see her ladyship and my lord's heir, Mr. Aylmer. "You," said Dick, in disgust "Not one word—at your peril." "Mr. Aylmer—my l a d y - — " she began, when Lady Aylmer stopped her by a wave of hex hand. "Go b;c.i to your kitchen, woman," she said coldly. "Dick, is there any other entrance to this house? No? Then lock that door.

Why, think of your position now—you are alone in the house with me, except for a woman who is my servant—my tool. Your cousin has gone away for two days. Your old servant f? away, too. At this moment you are absolutely at my mercy." "Oh! no, no!" Dorothy cried, as if struggling against him. "At my mercy," went on the wicked, sneering vo.c^, "and I have no mercv " "N^r I," thundered Pt.ck, dashing the screen aside. " He had his uncle by the throat ere Dorothy, in her surprise, could gasp out his name. "You scoundrel! you villain!" he cried, aud afrook him as a terrier shakes a rat, flinging him backward on to a lounge. "My love! my sweetheart!" he cried, tenderly, Urning to Dorothy. "I got your poor little pitiful message at last. My poor little love, dear little wife, there has been nothing worse between us than that wicked o*d sinner there." "Dick! D.cs!" was all that she could say. CHAPTER XXXIV. RULY a more miserable woman than Amelia ' Dresser, otherwise Harris, did not live in London town that day. "Dick," said Lady Aylmer, walking Into the little dinlag- room, while the doctor, Charles and Dresser were carrying the unconselotts old lord into Dorothy's bedroom, "roar wife cannot in any ease stop her*. Oh, is that the baby? What a leva! Bat, tell me, would It not be heat tor J w to take the child to Betgrav* Square? I suppose you have a nurse, ssy d e a r f "Oh, yea. Bather would make ase have a aaraa,** Dorothy aaswsred. "Than just take what yea are likely t o wast for tho t i g h t a a 4 1st the aarse her aow. Dtek. The oarrtepe is Tail t h a n who she K of comMKable. It is better for m r to l a out of the way of this." "I would rather atop, Lady Aylmer." cried Dorothy. "Don't part me from Dtek ao soon, for ha would have to coma back here. I will stay In this room. I will keep quite out of the way; indeed I will." "Very well—vary well," said my lady, smiling. She was very considerate and tender with Dorothy, yet her heart was heavy at the disclosures of the past hour. It was a terrible end, even to an unhappy marriage, and Lady Aylmer, remember, bad been married for love. Well, that exciting day dragged Itself away. Dorothy would have Dick send off a telegram to Esther and Bar. bara, announcing his return home, i-'or Barbara had recovered very slowly from her accident, and having taken r. chill, which was followed by an attack of bronchitis, had been peremptorily ordered off to Bournemouth, Whither Esther had taken her. There was so much to tell Okie, so much for Dick to tell her, and they sat almost all the afternoon by the fire talking. And Lady Aylmer kept watch by the bed of him who. had lived so wicked a life, and. prayed with heart and soul for that mercy which he had never troubled to ask for himself, and could not ask, now that it was too late. For it was too late! Lord Aylmer never opened his eyes consciously on this world again. For several hours he lay breathing bard and ucconscious of all the remedies applied jto him, and of the means by which the doctors tried to arouse him from his stupor. All in vain! The life which might have been a noble one, but which had been given over t o all manner of evil, slipped away, and about 6 o'clock, ^whlle X>Ick and his wife were still sitting by the fire talking, with the lights turned low, Lady Aylmer came gently In. Dick knew in a moment from her manner what had happened. "Lady Aylmer, is I t — ? " And, in answer. Lady Aylmer took PRAYEJD WITH HEART AND SOUL. Dorothy in her arms and kissed her. "My dear," she said, "you are Lady Aylmer now." THE END. T w o Missionary Heroes. Among the almost innumerable acts of heroism recorded of missionaries in various parts of the world, two stand out very prominently— namely the performances of Joseph de Veuster (Father Damlen), the missionary who devoted his life to the service of the lepers of the Sandwich Islands; and Samuel Marsden, the missionary to and friend of the Maori. One of the most heroic deeds of the latter was on the occasion of his first landing amongst them at the Bay of Islands on the 23d of December, 1814. On seeing the hordes of yelling, armed savages upon the beach, his crew tried to dissuade him from landing, but Marsden was determined, and stepped alone, and unarmed, from the boat. That night he slept in the open air under a great tree, surrounded by hundreds of the fiercest beings that men could well conceive. Marsden, however, had no fear, and. lived to sec his work successful. On the 13th of May, 1873, Father Damlen sailed from Honolulu for the Island of Molokai. the leper settlement, where, on landing, he was met by 700 wretched beings with limbs twisted out of all shape, flesh rotting from their bones, and all hope dead within them; yet he went among them with a smiling face and cheerful spirit, although he knew the certainty that sooner or later he would be infected with the same horrible disease from which they suffered. For twelve voars he escaped the fatal disease though In constant contact with the sick and dying, but la 1S85 the malsdy appeared In him and though his doom waa sealed, he continued his labors unabated. His whole life from May, 1873. until his death waa one long-continued aeries of heroic deeds. UNCLE SAM WILL KEEP THEM. Martial l a w ta he D t e b n d la she FaUtpykmm ay MaJ.*4)esu Hants*. Ma j.-Gen. Merrltt, who is to g o to the Philippine islands aa military governor, is expected to govern them under martial law until congress decides what shall finally bo done with them. There is now little doubt that they will be . permanently held by the United States. In v*.ew of this belief soma consideration is already being given to the problem of devising a civil government for the islands when the war is ended. The proposition that seems to meet most favor is to have the government of the islands administered by a board of three commissioners, to be composed of two civilans and one officer of the U. 8. array, as in the District of Columbia. When the number of Americans in the islands increases sufficiently a very limited form of popular government would be introduced, to be expanded in the future. Tariff taxes are to be collected by military authority, und are to be turned into the treasury of the United States. Upon the proclamation of martial law by Maj.-Gen. Merritt the civil government of Spanish authorities will be completely superseded and Gov. August! will become virtually a prisoner of war. Under the joint supervision of Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey the captured Spanish fortifications will be placed in the best defensive condition and should the Cadis fleet attempt to retake the islands it will meet with a hot reception. Official advices received from Admiral Dewey, while confirming the belief that his control of Manila harbor is as firm as ever, indicate that the necessity for reinforcing him with a powerful joailitiary_ force i s daily increasing. Gen. Merritt's demand for forces has been acceded to, and has resulted in securing the President's promise that 25,000 additional soldiers would be cheerfully furnished if they were required. m America's Greatest Medicine.

C , formerly of Detroit, waa elected moderator of the 110th session of the general assembly of the. Presbyterian church, at Winona, Ind. The Spanish loss during the recent bombardment at Cienfuegos is now known to have been much heavier than at first reported. Over 300 Spaniards were killed and several hundred more wounded. Great damage was done along the coast. Senor Polo, formerly Spanish minister to Washington, later chief of Spanish spies in America, sailed from Montreal on the steamship Dominion Liverpool, en route to Madr-d.

Aunon, minister of marine, and Senor Castillo, minister of foreign affairs. The latter is Spanish ambassador at Paris and delined to accept, saying that he could be of greater service to his country where he is now. It is now reported that the New York was the only vessel of Sampson's fleet to return to Key West last week. The real reason for the return of the flagship was to get a new searchlight and replace the smashed paraphernelia of her 8-inch guns. It was this that led to the story that the whole fleet had returned. The navy department is proud of the record made by the battleship Oregon from an engineering point of view. The reports to the department from the ship shows that she does not need a particle of repairs to her machinery after her 13,000 miles continuous run from our Pacific coast to Cuban waters. The record has never been equaled. The Buffalo, which came with the Oregon from Brazil, is to be overhauled at Newport News, armored, given a new battery of 5-inch guns and altogether made an effective modern cruiser.

The work, in the farm department, for the first four weeks, therefore, is given in the class room and consists of a series of talks on farm crops, and another on the history of soil formation and methods of culture. The principal crops .of the state are taken up in order and discussed as to soil requirmeuts, geographical distribution, place in the rotation, adaptability to Michigan conditions, relative merits as to to be called upon to (Ion the uniform of a United States soldier.

Spaniards Shoot from MMkod Battarlas and Rtfl* Pitt Upon the Handful of Bluajackate Orderrd to Mover tho Wlra* Leading Into th« City. Women's clubs for the discuesl-n of politics oug!it rather to be called boomerangs. Bertha Smlh of Topcka has reached her flf.h divorce and several wards yet to hear from. War with Spain directly after tho death by torture of Dr. Ruiz would have saved half a million lives. Go to a ralmist when you are blue and you'll come awry a happ'.er man, says a writer. Anyhow, you'll make the palmist happier. If Mr. Godkin of the New York Post had his way every man in our army would go to war handcuffed and every officer would wear a muzzle. A maxim is a sententious form of wisdom that has always been popular. Uncle Sam has recently added one hundred to his stock*-of the H. S. Maxim variety* ^ - = = ^ = = = ^ = "Long live Spain!" shout the mobs of the Spanish cities. The remark may mean patrio'lsm, and then again it might rationally end with an interrogation point. Because there is doubt of it. The punishment by fine and dismissal from employment of some rowdies for burning the president in effigy is a salutary incident. We do not want in this country any such system of lese maJeFte prosecutions as they have in Germany. But there shcu'd be a decent public respect observed for tS»9 man who is chosen by the n"t'on to be its chief execu lve and who herefore himself represents the nation in his person. Consul 8mith. of Moscow, writing to the State Department under date of March 15. says: "It is decided by the authorities to have an express service between St. Petersburg and the farthest extremity of the Siberian Railway which is finished. A train will be dispatched twice a week and will make the entire run in six days. The train will consist 01 one aining car, with library, passenger and sleeping coaches, and will have all modern conveniences." War has its blessings as well as its ills, and we have already experienced one of the greatest of these in the revival of patriotism throughout the whole country. Everywhere -'old glory" waves and patriotic emblems are in evidence. Everywhere' the people are heaping honors and godspeeds upon the boys in blue as they send them forth to do battle for their country. The whole national heart is throbbing with patriotism as never before since the days of Washington. Such an exhibition of sentiment by 75,000,000 Americans cannot fail to make a strong and lasting impression upon the national life. Statistics compiled for railroad records indicate that Inexperienced employes are more careful than those who have grown old in railroad service. According to these statistics the largest average of injuries occurred after the employes had been in service six years, and the figures given would indicate that the employes as a general rule are careful up to the time when they have been in the service three or four years, and then become more careless until about their eighth year of service, when the figures show that they again become more careful, as those who had worked over ten years have a smaller comparative percentage of injuries than those who had worked six years. Amid a perfect storm of shot from Spanish rifles and batteries the American forces cut the cables at Cienfuegos Wednesday morning, May 11. Four determined boat crews, under command of Lieutenant Winslow and Ensign Magruder, from the cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat Nashville, put out from the ships, the coast having previously been shelled. The work of the volunteers was perilous, and one was killed while bravely doing his duty, six others being seriously wounded. The man instantly killed was Patrick Reagan. None of the ships was damaged to any extent. The cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nashville and the auxiliary cruiser Wlndcm diew up 1,000 yards from shore with their guns manned for desperate duty. One cable had already been cut and the work was in progress on the other when the Spaniards in rifle pits and a battery in an old lighthouse, standing out in the bay, opened fire. The warships poured in a thunderous volley, their great guns be'ehing forth massive shells into the swarms of the enemy. The crews of the boats calmly proceeded with their desperate work, notwithstanding the fact that a number had f alien, and finished it, returning to the ships through a blinding smoke and a heavy fire. More than 1,000 infantrymen on shore kept up a continuous fire and the bullets from the machine guns struck the warships a hundred times, but did no great damage. Commander Maynard of the gunboat Nashville was slightly wounded by a rifle bullet that beforestriking him passed through the arm of an ensign, whose name Is unknown. Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the hand, making three officers wounded in all. After the Spaniards had been driven from the rifle pits many of them took refuge in the lighthouse fortress, and for more than an hour worked unmolested on the cable. Suddenly, just aa the work was about completed, the shore battery fired a shell at the boats. It was followed by others, and tho Spanish Infantry opened fire then with their xine*. Then, like a flash, the Marblehead sent a shell inland, and followed It with a perfect shower of shot. The Nashville was quick to follow suit, and the little Wlndom cut loose with her four-pounders. In the meanwhile Spanish bullets fell in every direction around the Bmall boats. Though the attack had come suddenly and fiercely the blue- Jackets were not dismayed, and, protected by the terrific return fire of the warships, work was continued and the cable cut. The Spaniards had by this time suffered severe loss. Their shots from the lighthouse struck the warships several times, and, although they did not do much damage, the fire aroused the determination of the American officers to exterminate the fort. Thereafter, for the moment, the fire of the warships was concentrated upon the lighthouse and the improvised fort was blown to pieces. As there were treat numbers of Spaniards in and behind the fort at the time there is no doubt that many of them were killed. The Marblehead and the Nashville used their heaviest guns, as well as their small rapid-fire guns, and hundreds of shots were thrown Into the Spanish troops. The Marblehead was struck scores of times by bullets from machine guns and the Nashville suffered to about the same extent The Wlndom also had many marks of the fray. Her shell blowing up the lighthouse and ccittering the Spaniards in all directions ended the battle. The cable which was cut at Cienfuegos extended from that city to Santiago de Cuba. It does not sever cable communication with Cuba, as there is another line in operation between Santiago de Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica. The severed cable is owned by the Cuba Submarine company. The one operating to Kingston is owned by the West India Panama company. The latter is the only line not in control of the United States government. The cable from Havana to Key West Is controlled by United States officials. It GARTERS ARK QAYBR. aa* **e*Uls*r la Yttats Brilliancy. Now York Sun: Garters are gayer than ever before, No woman dreams of wearing plain elastic bands to keep up her stockings nowaday*. Indeed, garters art now made ro many colored that the rival the fashionable hosiery Itself when it comes to startling brilliancy. A garter can coma about as near marring or making a woman's happiness as any trifling' aoceissry to her toilet. Women generally, long ago, gavesttn the elastic band which held the stacking up below or above the knee. Health culturhU first to'd them that it was injurious, preven'iag perfect circulation, but the sex clung to it with its bejewsled buckles and beautiful rowB of ribbon. Then the culturiats told them that the round garter would spoil the shape of the leg, and they dropped it like a hot caks and adopted the suspender garter or stocking supporter, as it is opened called. The newest supporters are made of very b oad and fa cy s Yi el stic in brilliant Scotch plaids or Roman stripes, or else plain clastic covered with ribbons that would shame Joseph's coat, put on full. The catches and side buckles are of white metal, silver, silver g lded and pure gold, and some of them are studden with precious and semi-precious gems.

All of these d awbacks have a tendency to make a woman conclude that after all her great grandmother was right in declaring that the most satisfactory garter in the worH was a string torn from a selvedge edie of a piece of flannel and wrapped j tst loose enough for comfort ard tl^ht enough for convenience about the stocking above or below the knee.

The Spanish loss Is known t o have been very heavy, the warships firing hundreds of shells right into their midst. The United States cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nashville aad the auxiliary cruiser Wlndom steamed up to the harbor of Otenfuegos early Wednesday morning with orders to cut the cable connecting Havana with Santiago de Cuba. This task was accompli shed, but only after a terrific fight between tbe warships aad several thousand Spanish troops, which lined the shore and lay concealed behind Improvised breastworks. Soon after the arrival of the warships off Clenfuegos four boats *yere launched aad proceeded la shore tor tho purpose of grappling for the cable in. order to cut it The warships lay to about 1,004 yard* or saore o f the harbor.

Every person that can read should own a dictionary. Every one that owns a dictionary should own the very best dictionary. Until quite recently there Md been a very wide divergence of opinion ss to the best dictionary. We believe that the advent of the Standard Dictionary settles the question for a century to come, at least. Its claims to superiority over other lexicographical and philological works may be briefly summed up as follows: (1) It is Blmple In its explanations and is not burdened with encyclopedic information. (2) It defines the word first and then gives the derivation. (3) It gives the common meaning first and follows with the historical order, according to usage at other periods. (4) It locates the authority on which Judgment is based. (5) Disputed pronunciations and spellings are settled beyond doubt. (6) It contains illustrations to enable the student to gain a clearer knowledge of the words. (7) It reduces the compounding system common to other dictionaries. (8) Obsolete words are omitted, except in rare instances. (9) It groups handicraft and terms under one head.ng. (10) It gives antonyms aa well as synonyms. 1 1 ) It capitalises proper -names or proper terms only. (12) It contains over 300.000 words—more> than any other dictionary extant. As a whole the Standard Dictionary Is a colossal triumph of the best scholarship of our times. t Its, editors include many of tbe most learned men of the ceaiury.

A s a v a g e t r i b e teaown tm the Yafaagans lives nearer to the south pole than any other known people. They occupy certain small islands lying south of Terra del Fuego, and are found also on the south beach of that great istand itself. The territory they occupy Is a maze of mountain peaks, and the conditions under which they exist are almost beyond realization by a civilized person. The typical weapon of the Yahagana Is the rawhide sling, with which they are able to hit a water fowl at 200 yards. To hit any bird at that distance would be called right good Bhootlng. They can knock down and stun a guanaco with a heavy round pebble up to a hundred yards. The reason for t h e sling as a tool of destruction is found in the fact that the Yahagans live on the beach, where plenty of round pebbles are always at hand. These islanders fry out oil from whale blubber and store it up for future use in m e bladder like leaves of a kind of seaweed found everywhere In that region. Quite distinct and peculiar is the Ona tribe, which inhabits the prairie region of Terra del Fuego. This great island has the shape of a triangle, and is almost as large aa the state of New York. Once upon a time it must have had a tropical climate, Inasmuch as the bones of m o n k e y s and parrots are found fossil there in great numbers. The Onas have no horses. They eat those they capture from the sheep men, considering horse meat the greatest of delicacies. T h e y depend for food chiefly upon t h e guanaco, which amounds in Terra del Fuego, and a kind of prairie squirrel. In the chase they rely mainly upon bows and arrows and the bolas, the latter consisting of two or three stone balls on the end of hide thongs. On being thrown th« balls diverge in obedience to centrifugal force a n d fly around and around in the air until the object Is struck, when the thongs wind themselves about U. These savages can throw the botes s o dexterously a s to The Ovea Bird of South Asserts*. The "oven bird" belongs to the creeper family. It is abont the s i s s Of a lark, of a warm brown color; a bold active bird, running and walking very fast, and much on the wing, though for no great distance at a time. It is a native of South America, The chief interest centers in its n e s t which is shaped like an oven and is a remarkable example of bird architecture. It Is made principally of clay strengthened and stiffened with grass, vegetable fibres, and stems of plants. The heat of the sun bakes the clay nearly as hard as a brick: the nest Is domed and rounded, with the entrance at the side, the walls are fully an inch thick, and it is divided into two chambers by a wall, which strengthens the whole structure. The inner chamber is devoted to the work of Incubation, and the eggs are laid about In a warm nest of feathers. The nest is usually six inches high, nine inches long, five inches deep and often weighs nine pounds. THE VVTf OF MffSBEBS. Should bo CtaUftd In Barlw Woatfanboo*.

I examined the wounded one, and found that its back was broken, having been stepped on by one of ray cattle. I now looked to see where the runaway fellow was, but did not have to look far. as he was right at my feet, a s angrylooking as It w a s possible to be. I walked away a short distance to watch the course of events. The uninjured snake soon returned to his companion in trouble, Good Samaritan-like; and, turning his body around, the Injured one, started off towards the longer grass. I chased h i m away again, and he repeated the same actions aB the first time. He curled himself around the body of his injured friend, and made all speed to get away. The last I saw of them they were making good headway, and soon disappeared out of my sight in the longer grass and bushes." Weeping Tree of the Csuarlee, In one of the Canary Islands there is a tree of the laurel family that rains down occasionally in the early morn ing quite a copious shower of tears or water-^drops from its tufted foliage. This water often collects at the foot of the tree, and forms a kind of pond, from which the Inhabitants of the neighborhood can supply themselves with a drinkable beverage that is absolutely fresh and pure. The water comes out of the tree itself through., innumerable little pores situated at the margins of the leaves, and known as water stomata, to distinguish them from the almost similar apertures in the expanded blade, whose function is t o regulate the constant passage of air t o and from the internal tissues. Water comes out of the plant as vapor during the day time, vrhen the fieat is sufficiently great, but in the evening, when the temperature is lowered very much, a considerable quantity is exuded in tbe _ form of tears or liquid drops that colfa** m a man to h i s horse,' The O n s i | l e c t n e a r t h e e d g e s ot t h e l e a v e s - a n d ho a ever, often kill the guanaco by surrounding a bunch and running them down, s o wonderfully fleet of foot are they.

A portion of the- crew of a ship which was anchored off the coast of In-lla once w e n t ashore for the pi pose of cutting s o m e wood, and one of the sailors, h a v i n g through some cause become separated from his companions, w a s considerably frightened by the appearance of a huge lioness which he saw approaching him. Much to h i t surprise, however, she did not, on c o m i n g up, appear to have any evil designs on him, but instead crouched St his feet and looked steadfastly first at h i s face and t h e n at a tree same little distance away. F o r a time the m a n could not understand this conduct; but presently on the lioness rising and walking towards the tree, looking hack to hiss as she went, he found o a t what i t m e a n t Up la U M branches of the tree was a large baboon, with t w o little lion cubs in its a'sns, aad it w a s because of this that t h e . l i o n e s s w a s in such tribulation.

S. at the Howell fair grounds, at which time some good athletic contests were witnessed. The high school o\' Mil ford and the schools of Living>ton county were the contestants, the tno*t prizes being won by the Milford school. Besides the sports, a Trap Shooting Contest took place between eight of Howell's best shooters resulting in a victory for C. G. Jewett, H. D7 Wilbur, E. Lr Avery and^Tonf Calvert. The ball game between the '99 Laws of Ann Arbor and the Howell team resulted in a victorv for the latter by a score of 19 to 16, only six ' innings being played. The receipts of! the day were about $90. j Farmer's (lnb Meeting. The Putnam and Hamburg Farmer'.;! Club met at the home of John Cham-' bers on Saturday, May 28.

Perhaps you have made up your mind to take this summer. Then look for this picture on the wrapper, a man with a big fish on his back. Do not let anyone talk to you of something " just as good." when you want cod liver oil and the hypophosphites you want the very best. You will find them in only one place, Scott's Emulsion. There is no other emulsion like it; none other does the same work; and no other has the same record of cures. All Druggists, 50c. and $*. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemisti, N. Y. Gerniwn Writer H»j» the CfaaaceUe* Speculated ou State Secrete. A pamphlet has recently appeared ia Germany entitled "Bismarck aud Blelchrdeder." Its author, says London Truth, Is a member of the old Junker party of the name of Dlebat Da her, and it professes to give soma curious details In regard to the present fortune of the ex-chancellor and how it was acquired. After the German war of 1870 the prince received from the country two estates of no great value, which, coupled with his own paternal estate, brought him ;n a fair revenue. He then left Bleichroeder to look after his private monetary affairs, with the result that he now has a fortune amounting to 150,000,000 marks. This, the author estimates, can only have been made by stock exchange speculations, based on :he knowledge that the prince derived from his position at the head of the German government, and which he confided to Bleichroeder. That, with the care of empire 6n his shoulders, he loft his monetary affairs in the hands of his banker is very possible, and equally possible is It that his banker did the best for his client. But I should require a good deal more evidence than is afforded in this pamphlet to believe that the prince speculated on state secrets In partnership with a Hebrew financier or that his fortune is now anything like. 150,000,000 marks.

JadaoL r^ Maine's Biggest Tree. Jay, Me., claims one of. the biggest trees in Maine, t stands on the bank of the Androstoggin, on the lawn of the late Dudley Bean. The circumference four feet from the ground is 23 feet, diameter 7 feet. About six feet from the ground there are seven branches radiating from its trunk which are from 18 inches to 24 inches in diameter. The branches spread over a space of ground 270 feet in circumference, or SO feet in diameter. Where the branches leave the trunk ot the tree, about seyen feet from the ground, there has been erected a band stand, which seats 25 persons. A cooler piaoe on hot days can not be' found. A Boston gentleman was riding by recently., aad the tree attracted his attention. He examined and measured it, and wai astonished at its dimensions. He went away with the remark that if the tree was on his lawn $10,- 000 would buy it. It was set out 42 years ago by Lafayette Bean on the day of his departure for California, whence he never returned. SCOTCH ^nd FRENCH GINGHAMS are now very m u c h wanted a u d very scarce.

MICH., A Bright and Progressive Little Village. This pretty little village has nearly 600 population, and is situated on the M. A. L. of the Grand Trunk By. It is in Livingston county and 50 miles trom Detroit. It is a fine place tor new industries to locate. This locality is in many respects to be congratulated. In eome places - business interests'are so inferior that r little can be said. Here it is not nee eesary to unwrap the ceremonies en* closing the dead past, as if to galvanize a corpse into life. Here there is a substantial record of progress. As a farmer's headquarters the place has become favorably known for»its drawing trade for many;, miles around. It is a point where farmers enjoy many --== advantages in deakug. There are so many facte brought forward—so many points to be illustrated, that to do the theme full and ample justice the scribbler must be more than human, scarcely less than divine, but this is a meritorious place. Only a person who has lived here long can appreciate fully the fine social features and advantages pertaining to this as a place of residence. Its numerous advantages, and churches, superior schools, etc. Here reside an intelligent and educated population, including the decendanta. of many bardy pioneers. Right here we want to emphasize what preceded can follow. We want to call the attention of capitalists and others to the fact that it is a suitable, a natural and a desirable location for the investments of money in productive enterprises. PIJJCK.NEV EXCHANGE BANK, G. W. TEEPLE, PROPB., ranks high as a solid and time honored financial institution. It does a general banking business, negotiate loans, receives deposits, deals in drafts letters of credit on foreign ports, bills of exchange, etc., deals in commercial obligations, makes collections etc, This is a bank which has safely and surely aided the progress of this place. W. E. MTTBPBY, DEALEK IN FANCY AND STAPLE GROCERIES, NOTIONS', ETC. By careful examination of the commercial facilities enjoyed by this place we find that among its contemporaries this house ranks as one of the most important. This distinction is accorded, not only from the fact that it is one of the most reliable of its kind in this section; but in the magnitude of its operations and the enterprise of its j=bT»h»8B=poiicy, it may be-Tegarded as occupying an eminent position and exerting marked influence on the trade. All goods are displayed in great variety and represents tie best lines in the market, and are sold at prices which always please its patrons. FRANK A. SIGLEB, Deale/ in drugs, medicines, notions, etc. This store is ably managed by Mr. Sigler, who is a proficient pharmacist. Everybody can obtain here pure drugs, medioines, chemicals, pharmaceutical preparations, druggist sundries, notions, showcase novel- • ties, cigars and tobaccos of superior brands. It is, at all times, an establishment where accuracy and correct dealing are combined with liberal prices. When in want of anything in this line call on this popular dealer. He has all the new 1898 designs in fine wall paper at bargains. This store is among the best and we can say without fear of contradiction, that one of the largest stocks, finest goods Concluded on Page 5.

The state military board was overwhelmed with offers of service under the President's second call for volanteers, which caused Gov. Pingree to order a statement issued to the effect that when the board was notified by Uncle Sam as to how many and what kind of troops he wished Michigan to furnish that calls would be made for men as largely as possible from cities, town and localities which were not already represented at the front. It is probable that a large portion of the second call volunteers will be used to fill Michigan regiments at the front to the full quota of 13 companies of 106 men each. If any additional- regiment or regiments are organized they will be officered from the very best military material avilable. Inexperienced men will not have charge of companies. Men who raise companies will not be commissioned captains for that reasdfl' Married men, or those who have others dependent upon them, are not desired so much as those who have no respond sibilities.

Merritt, has received in* structions from the President that when he inaugurates his military governorship at Manila he is to open the ports of the islands to American merchants. All goods shipped to the Philippines will be admitted free of duty. This policy will also be followed with reference to Cuba and Porto Rico. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin announced that it had been definitely decided to use about 50,000 of the volunteers to be raised under the second n i l in Ailing out deficient regiments already organized under the first call. It will take about that number to All each company up to the maximum limit of 106 men. Recruits will be assigned tc regiments from their own states, and, as far as possible, to regiments and companies whteh represent the cities andaections of the*ta>e» in wh|eh they reside. < • . i Washington: The invasion of Cuba haa begun. The President ordered it after Commodore Schley's cable message came to the navy department, and Gen. Miles at once gave the word to Gen. Shafter at Tampa that at last would set the army iu motion. It is absolutely known that within JL3 hours the loading of the numerous transports at Tampa was begun. About 35 of these ships, the biggest and fastest that could be obtained suitable for the purpose, had been gathered ready to receive the troops. They will accommodate about 30,000 men for a short voyage like that from the gulf ports to Cuba. How many troops started, where they took ship, where they are bound, are questions which the directing spirits of the campaign refuse positively to answer. They have no desire that the Spanish should have opportunity afforded them to gather forces to attack our soldiers as they land. Therefore nothing of the details of this first movement can be learned. It is known that Admiral Sampson's flagship New York and several other war vessels were at Key West ready to convoy the expedition to Cuba to ensure the transports against attack at the hands of some stfly Spanlsh^cTutser or gunboat. It is probable that there will be no less than four separate military expeditions and that these will be landed at four different points. Arrangements have been made to utilize the services of the insurgents to the largest possible extent. The government already has sent expeditions to a large number of points on the island and landed arms for the insurgents. Most of the parties succeeded perfectly in their object and It is said at the war department that a suflicient number of the insurgents have been armed t o constitute a very effective support for the troops as they land. The opinion has gained ground that the first action will be in the neighborhood of Santiago. The President believes that the dispatch of 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers to lund at and take Santiago would be an effective blow at Spain. If Commodore Schley should be ordered to force his way into the harbor and engage the Spanish ships, it would be necessary even after he destroyed them to take care of "14,000 Spanish soldiers. In any event, whether it is to be a blockade or an immediate battle between the naval forces, it Is considered wise to have American soldiers at hand. There are 9,000 insurgents in the country back of the city. It is said that with the aid of an effective force of American soldiers, the city could be completely invested by sea and shore and it would then be a question of a few weeks when the Spaniards must yield, for starvation would conit them. Schley to Reduce Santiago Fort*. Commodore Schley's official dispatch telling of the trapping of Cervera's fleet at Santiago was carried to Kingston, Jamaica, by the I'. S. auxiliary cruiser Harvard for transmission to Washington. When the Harvard sailed to rejoin Schley she earned dispatches to him to immediately commence a bombardment of the Santiago fortifications. As to further operations he is given large discretionary powers. Havana is well invested by Commodore Watson's squadron of 14 vessels. CraUer Colombia Badly Injured. During a thick fog in New York harbor the new U. S. cruiser Columbia was run into by the British steamer Foscolia bound for Bordeaux, Jgrain laden. The Foscolia struck the Columbia on the starboard quarter just forward of the after barbette, cutting d e a n into the hull, making a hole 10 feet across filling a compartment with water. The Foscolia sank almost immediatelyN but the Columbia succeeded in rescuing all of her crew and landed them. The Columbia was at once sent to the Brooklyn navy yard to be docked for repairs. A large portion of the'second call volunteers will be used In filling up regiments already organized which were short of the maximum.

V'Teddy" Roosevelt's famous regiment of rough riders left San Antonio, Tex., for Tampa, 100 cars being required to transport them. The regiment numbered 1,05.1) men and 1,358 horses and mules and was ready to embark for Cuba at once, , Maj.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was given an ovation on his arrival at Jacksonville where he is to establish the camp of the Seveuth army corps. He reached there in time to meet Maj.-Gen. Miles, who was on his wav to Tampa to lead the array of invasion into Cuba. Cuban dispatch bearers, just arrived from Gomez, report that secret propositions have been entertained by the Spanish volunteers in Cuba, to dissolve and flock to the Cuban banner after the first victorious encounter of the Americar^and Cuban troops with the Spanish™ " - = ^ St. Petersburg advices say Russia absolutely would not tolerate the control of the Philippines being taken from Spain and given to any other European power unless she (Russia) had her full say about it. Neither would she suffer a division of the archipelago unless she secured a big slice. The destitution in Havana is frightful and is increasing. The grocers, all of whom are Spaniards, refuse absolutely to sell food to the Cubans, as if determined to starve them. The Spaniards realize that Cuba is lost, but that before yielding the island they will endeavor to exterminate the Cubans. The administration has decided to invade Port Kico immediately after the capture of Santiago. It has been pointed out that in order to hold Porto Rico or any other of Spain's islands they must be in our possession at the close of hostilities or when the treaty of peace is negotiated; and Uncle Sam wants Porto Rico. — P h i l Rnlwwsnn, war norreApondent of the London Fall Mall Gazette, and H.

There can no longer be any doubt that Admiral Cervera's Spanish fleet is. bottled up in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.

The forts of Morro Castle, La Zocotapa and Punta Carda suffered heavily. The cannonading was careful and very persistent and could not have failed to be destructive, It lasted until 3:4&. The city, which is situated near the inner end of the harbor, escaped damage* About 5 p m . cannon discharges were heard at a distance (presumably at sea) continuing for some time. TJie Spanish authorities maintain strict silence as to the number of victims, who wero apparently numerous. From the Spanish account it is impossible to judge as to the exact merits of the encounter.; Another report says that the American warships also engaged the Spanish fleet and that the advantage appears to have been with the Americans. No details are given. Later advices regarding the bombardment of Santiago's fortifications are as follows: The American squadron under Schley augmented by the torpedo^boatrPorter,- the auxiliary cruiser Si. Paul and the protected cruiser New Orleans, approached the entrance to the harbor1 of* Santiago at about 12:30 p. m., the Iowa leading. Inside the entrance to the harbor was seen one of the warships of Cervera's fleet* (Cristobal Colon), stripped for action. As the American fleet drew near, the New Orleans was detached and steamed forward ahead of the Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts. One of the forts opened fire on her and she replied, the other two ships directing their fire at the battery on the Punta Gorda within the harbor and to westward of the position occupied by the Spanish ship. The latter replied to the fire, and immediately became a target for all the American ships engaged in the battle. She retired behind a protecting headland and none of the Spanish fleet were seen again during the engagement. The Iowa, directed by Capt. "Fighting Bob" Evans; the Massachusetts, Capt. F. J. Higginson; Texas, Capt. J. W. Phillip, and the New Orleans, Capt. W. M. Folger, kept up their terrific fire against the Morro, Zocatapa and Punta Gorda forts for two hours, their projectiles, of enormous size, doing tre men dons damage to the defenses of the harbor. The masonry at Zocatapa and Morro was battered almost into dust and the Spanish artillerymen and infantry could be plainly seen flying to safety behind the neighboring hilts. The anxiliary cruiser which joined Sehiey'a fleet just before the battle took place was hit by shells from the forts and it is thought she was seriously damaged. - - After seeking the protection of a jutting headland, the Spanish warship*, continued to fire projectiles over the hills toward the fleet, bat thejr had no range, not even direction, to their shots and the shells i e l l JiarnUesasv into the sea. , T h a t ^ number h ^ e d and i ^ s n d e d iM the #panfsh side tS^wiormouaTtto one doubts, for time and again the American sheila hit the batteries squarely and amid the flying n*asonry ajed disaaantled^ unSr t h e fo$n*'\o| n k S were descried.

A GREAT REMEDY. Greatly Tested. Greatly Recommended. The lost of the hair is one of the most serious losses a woman can undergo.' Beautiful hair gives many a woman a claim to beauty which would be utterly wanting If the locks were short and scanty. It Is almost as serious a loss when the natural hue of the hair begins to fade, and the shining tresses of chestnut and auburn are changed to gray or to a faded shadow of their former brightness. Such a toss is no longer s necessity. There is one remedy which may well be called a great remedy by reason of its great suc- " " 1" stripping- *hf f u l l i n g of t h e h a i r . cleansing the scalp of dandrutf, and restoring the lost color to grty or faded, tresses. Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor is a standard and reliable preparation, in use in thousands of homes, and recommended by everyone who has tested it and experienced the remarkable results that follow its use. - It makes hair grow. It restores the original color to Jalr that has turned gray or faded out. It stops feair from fatlU ing, cleanses the scalp, of daadruff,, and give* the hair 'a thinness and gloia that no other preparation can produce. Mrs. Herxmann, of $56 Bast CSth St., New York City, writes : " A little more than a year ago, my hair began turning gray ana falling out, an«l although I tried ever so many things to prevent a continuance of these conditions, I obtained no satisfaction until I tried Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor. After using one bottle my hair waa restored to its natural color, and ceased falling out."—Mrs. HERIMAMN, 356 Eastfeth St.. New York City. "I have sold Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor for fifteen years, and I do not know of a case * h » " fl ^H ""!gJTf fntire satisfaction. I have been, and am now asing ll myself for dandruff and gray hair, and am thoroughly convinced that it isthe best on the market. Nothing that I ever tried can touch it.

"Fie! my dear Mrs. Van Taaayl Huatey, surely you don't lay claim tc^ " "Middle-aged or simplicity?" "Either/' returned Lady Betty. "They usually go together nowaday B," observed the hostess; "It's the young people I don't understand. They seem to be developing Into a strange order ot befng. Have you read Lady Warwick's book on 'Women's Education?' " "You mean/' interposed Miss Feck in her precise manner, "Lady Warwick's collection of papers read at our recent education congress? They are very valuable, and we are greatly obliged to Lady Warwick for .her admirable preface; but of course her ladyship has not taken any great part in our work." "I never could understand," said Mrs. Van Tassyl Hussey, "how ladies of position could interest themselves in slumming matters." "Excuse me/1 returned Miss Peck tartly, "women's education in the British empire is certainly not a question of slumming." "But these things often fall into the same category, do they not? I heard only the other day," pursued Mrs. Van Taasyl Hussey, blandly, "that*! grssr friend of yours had been appointed an inspector—or is It inspectress of— dear m*—of nuisances., was it not?" "No/* corrected Miss Peck, "of factories. She read an admirable paper on "Women as Factory Inspectors' at our recent congress. It is included in Lady Warwick's book. We hope, by means of this volume, to open up a great many new careers to women." "So It would seem," remarked the hostess. "I suppose, though, they cannot all be quite womanly professions?" "Oh! we are abolishing these distinctions," explained Miss Peck; "we find that they rather trammel us In our work; besides, the great principle that we advocate—the equality of the sexes—does not permit of any concessions on our part to—'•" "Womanliness?" questioned Lady Betty. "If you like to put it so." "How stupid!" continued Lady Betty.

"Perhaps It makes the men faatidious!" aald Lady Betty. "I never knew a man yet who would make love to a woman because the held a diploma. They like a nice little ignoramus who doesn't know enough to see through them/' "One can see why you are eo popular with the men," snapped Miss Peck. "For my part, I should hke to see the male- population of this and every other country swept off the face of the globe —but come to the meeting of bur Hygienic Clothing association at St. George's Hall next Thursday, and then yon will understand better than you do now why " "Why so many learned women prefer splnsteihood?" interposed Lady Betty. "Let us say rather independence." said the hostete, genially. "Pass me your cup, Miss Peck—one lump?" "I never take sugar, the glucose element is not wholesome." "But talking of Independence," continued the hostess, "is independence ai the price of spinsterhood the best state for a woman? Isn't it after all rather a pity to be educated ao tar above the head of the average man? For the average man is the best we can get as a rule, isn't he?" "Yes," answered Mrs. Van Tassyl Hussey, "and I always think an unmarried woman is such a hopelessly incomplete specimen of humanity—I mean, of course, the woman of a certain age." - ^ - - "Quite an exploded prejudice," snapped Miss Peck. "Now a female factory inspector." observed the hostess, "I do not really think I could stand. She would give me the creeps, I'm sure." « "It is to careers like this that we look for relief In the female labor market/' remarked Miss Peck, severely. "It ts this way that the brilliant future of the emancipated woman lies. We have our foot on tne ladder, we are mounting." "Yes, but when you have climbed to the top, where do you think the ladder will land you?" queried the hostess. "It will land us," answered Miss Peck, with a gleam like cold steel In her eyes, "at the gioriouB goal where the present degradation of women will not CXist, where they' will take their proper position in the world, and when man will be shown himself as he really la." "Dear me!" ejaculated Mrs, Vac Tassyl Hussey, "Well," said the hostess, "emancl- _palion__andthe moralizing influence of PROWLING ABOUT FACTORIES, places with the most learned man in the world. As the merely frivolous little butterfly that I am. I can get all the admiration I want" "From men, I suppose?" sniffed Miss Peck. T h e homage some women pay to men is perfectly degrading; they pander to their vanity in the most contemptible manner/' - "As the superior sex, my dear, dont forget that," said Lady Betty. "Superior in brute strength, but not te intellect" "Welt, let us say in discernment," insinuated Lady Betty. "However contemptible the mere man ma, be, I find him at least apprecfe«ave. George told me yesterday my new hat was a perfect stunner! How's that for an opinion? And you women have never even noticed it!" "George! your husband?" queried Mrs, Van Taasyl Hnaeey.

One never expects a compliment from one's hoeband, I mean George GUJow; he waa akating with sae at Prince* yiatirisvyy I t waa alwaya gay practice to con* ewH my hnaband on all jnattera,- said Mrs. Van Taaayl Hvaaey, "bag then I yom younsT people wool* call awtlec t h e host. Girton andNewuham may be all verywell; but for my part I think thai education misses its mark when It does not promote the welfare and happiness, .of its devotees. And to ronde. mn women, to an eternal spinsterhood is surely not promoting their chances of happiness in the geaeraJ scheme of things." "For my part,"Interposed Lady Betty, with an irresponsible shrug of her shoulders, "call it degrading if yon tike, but I wouid rather purr on the hearthrug of the merest of men than I would go prowling about factories and sniffing down people's sinks in the glories of emancipation." "I will wish you good afternoon/' said Miss Peck, snapping the clasp of her serviceable golf cape severely. "I am due on the 'Regeneration of Man' at 5:15." "Isn't she funny," laughed Lauy Betty, as the door closed behind her. S H O U L D READ T H E PAPERS. amall atoy with Eggs to Soil T»koa Adjraataare of Ignoraaoo. From the Kennebec (Me.)

The English naval auihorlUaa have just tested with great success a suggested novelty in the way of communication at sea which promisee to .render obsolete the present methods of signaling. Commander R. G. O. Tupper of the Royal Navy experimented with a "kite telephone." 1 he kite used was of the regulation sort, except that It was minus a tail. ' It was six feet long and three feet wide at the broadest point In place of the tall the kite carried two lines, one of which was retained on board the Daring, the Instructional torpedo boat des royer, from which the experiments, were conducied. With the wind between the two lines referred to it waa found that the kite was so easily managed that it was no trick at Ul to drop letters or even a hawser into another ship, and in this way establish communication. 2 COL CUT Following this experiment came one with a wire.

Aa a means of signaling, the kite is firmly believed, not only by naval officers, but those of the army, to be 'fraught with great Importance when the future Is considered. It Is, of course, very much easier for a signal to be seen that Is elevated to a considerable height than one which may float at the top of the mainmast, or be waved from the summit of a hill. Add to these facta this latest development, the kite as a telephone wire carrier, and the indications of a limitless future are plain. Experiments with kites at Governor's island in New York harbor have conclusively proven that it Is possible to send up a camera from inside the lines of one army—the camera being attached to a kite—and take an accurate photograph of the lntrenchments or position of the enemy thereby, and to learn In fairly accurate fashion of their number.

The kite remained suspended, secured by two lines, for more than four hours, during which the communication, between the Daring and the Dauntless was uninterrupted. The achievement is only evidence of what electricians of the navy, of both England and the United States, have long held to be possible, They have declared, that there waa no reason way communication of tbia sort should not be established between, ahtpe a few hundred feet-apart, if the weatner were at all pleasant Of course, in a gale it would be impracticable.

Take them out of next week; surely there are plenty more daya to come!** an aarfnl -She'd a lead Of the enormous amount of foreign goods brought to this country but a mere trifle comes in American bottoms. For example: "In January, out of a total value of Imports of $50,825,721, American bottoms carried only $8,711,- 5*3, and out of exports valued at $108,- 753,624, only $5,155,544 in value were taken out under the American, flag. The figures for February tell the same story, for out of a total importation of $53,113,736, American ships brought only $9,270,068, and of exportatlons of $93,317,202, only $4,442 327 was under our flag. Of the exports in February carried in American bottoms only $1,- 029,066 were to Europe and Asia, and the imports so carried from those continents were valued at $4,339,184. The European and Asiatic countries with whom the largest trade was carried on under the American flag are France, the United Kingdom. China and British East Indies and Japan." Our waters are full of foreign craft that find it to their advantage to bring In all sorts of wares to our shores and take back such articles aa their trade demands. The trade with Cuba has been something enormous. Of course, this Is largely eut off. In 1892, Cuban imports and exports were valued at nearly $100,000,000. 1*4198, the trade had dropped off about tone<half; the present year's business shows a, still further reduction. • Thi* Cuban trade was largely done with American vessels. Of course, everything American being now barred, recourse must be had to foreign handling for whatever we may receive from Cuba during the continuance of the war. The best authorities are of the opinion that if Speln Undertake* to stff out goods Intended for the American trade, from the great bulk of commercial products, she will And that she has a greater job than she bargained for. Domestic trade, that It, the coast trade, she cannot possibly Interfere with. In the event of any attempt to do so, air articles can be put upon the railways. In January, 1898: merchandise actually handled by railroad cars and land vehicles amounted tt> nearly $6,000,660. The transportation by water waa something over $5/ ^0.- 000. The shipments were made by land to Mexico and by way of the Canadian Pacific railroad. It would be the work of a very short time In case privateering became annoying to transfer to foreign shipping whatever goods Americans desired to handle. It Is, therefore, easy to see that Spain is reckoning with-! out her host, and In the event of. her becoming particularly insistent or saucy and Interfering with foreign Vessels, she would be quite likely to receive a rebuke that would, to say the least, convey a lasting impression., "sty straps thla snorntenV using any cnonr te A pamphlet entiled ''Facte About Smallpox and Vaccinat'ou" ba=t ><=en issued by the council of the British Medical association, giving etatttJtlce as to the eftcacy of vaccination and showing what the diminution of mortality has been since the time of Jenier.

I made it my pride to keep aloof and suffice for my own entertainment, and I may say that I had tietyher friends n6r ac<jualnf^icea until T met that friend who became my wife and the:; mother of my children. With one man on'y I was on private terms. This was R. Nor hm ;ur, ESQ , of Garden Easter, in Scotland. We had met at ctf lese, and though there was not much liking tetween Us nor e/en much Intimacy, we were so much of a humor that we could associate with ease to both. Misanthropes we believed ourselves to be, but I have thought since that we we;e only sulky fallows. It was Ecarce'y a companionship, tut a co-ex'atencc in unso lablll y. N rthmour's excepticnal violence of temper made it no easy affair for him to keep the peace with any one but roe; and as he respected my silent ways and let me come and go as I pleased, I cou d tolerate his presence without concern. 1 thinks we caVed each other friends. When Northmour took his degree, and I decided to leave the un verity without one, he invited me on a long visit to Graden Easter, and it was thus that I first became acquainted wi h the scene of my adventures. The mansion house of Graden stood in a bleak stretch of country some three miles from the shore, of the Gerjoan jmMJ± It was aa large as a barrack, and as It had been built of a soft stone liable to consume In the eager air of tha seaside, It was damp and draughty w thin and half ruinous without. It was Impossible for tWo men to ledge with comfort in such a dwelling. But there s ood in the northern rart of the estate, In a wilderness of Inks and blowing sandhills and between a plantation and the sea. a small pavilion or Belvedere of modern design, which was exactly suited to our wants, and in this hermitage, speaking little, reading much, and rarely assoc ating except at meals, Northmour and I spent four tempestuous winter months. I might have stayed longer, but one March n'ght there sprang up between us a dispute which rendered my depar ure necessary. Northmour spoke holy, I remember, and I suppose I must have made some tart rejoinder. He leaped from his chair and grappled me; I had to fight, without exaggeration,' for my life, and it was only with a great effort that I mastered him. for he was near as strong in body as myself and'seemed filled with the devil. The next morning we met on our usual terms,butIjudgeditmoredelicateto withdraw, nor did he attempt to dissuade me: It was nine years before I revisited the neighborhood. I traveled at that time with a tilt cart, a tent, and a cooking stove, tramping all day beside the wagon and at night, whenever it was possible, gypsylng in a cove of the bills or by the aide of a wood. I believe I visited in this manner most of the wild and desolate regions both in England and Scotland, and as I had neither friends nor relations I was troubled with no correspondence, and had nothing in the nature of headquarters, unless it was the office of my solicitors, from whom I drew my income twice a, year. It was a life in which I delighted, and I fully thought to have grown old upon the march and at last died in a ditch. It was my whole business to find dee* olate earners where I could camp without the fear of Interruption. and hence being In another part of the same shire I bethought me suddenly of the Pavilion on the Links. No thoroughfare passed within three miles of it The nearest town, and that was but, a fiaher village, was at a distance of six or wren. The pavilion stood on an even space; a little behind it, the wood began in a hedge of elders huddled together by the wind; in front, a few tumbled sand hills stood between It and the aea. An outcropping of rock had formed a bastion tor the sand, so that the e was here a promontory in the coast line between two shallow bays; and Just beyond the tides, the rock again cropped out and formed an Islet of small dimensions but strikingly designed. The pavilion—it mad been built by the last proprietor, Northmoar's uncle, a silly and prodigal virtuoso prsseatad little signs of age. It was two stories in height. Italian in design, surrounded by a patch of garden in which nothing had prospered but a few coarse flowers, and looked, with its shuttered wiado^svnotliit^ahoMMtsAtaadoeen tenanted icr man. Northmour was plainly front hosae: wsvetiser, as usunt* snlklnc In the cabin of his yacht, or in one of his ntlul and extravagant appearances in the world of society. I had, of course, no means of guesaing. I found a den. or small hollow, where Chore was a spring of sure water, and thojo, olenglng away the brambles. I tat shts tissual and made » »rs to cook my supper. My horse I picketed farther id the wood where'there was a patch of sward. The banks of the den not only concealed the light of my fire, hut sheltered me from the wind, which was cold as well as high. The life I was leading made me both hardy and frugal. I never drank but water, and rarely ate anything more costly than oatmeal; and I required so little sleep that, although I rose with the peep of day, I would often lie awake in the dark or starry watches of the night Thus in Graden 8ea Wood, although I fell thankfully asleep at 8 in the evening, I wa* awake again before 11 with a full possesion of my faculties, and no Bense of drowsiness or fatigue. I rose and sat by the fire, watching the trees and clouds tumultously tossing and fleeing overhead, and barkening to the wind and rollers along the shore, till at length, growing weary of inaction, I quitted the den, and strolled toward the borders of the wood. A young moon, buried in mist, gave a faint illumination to my steps, and the light grew brighter as I walked forth into the links. At the same moment, the wind, smelling salt of the open ocean and carrying particles of sand, struck me with its full force, so that I hadUfesbow my head. When I raised it again to look about me, I was aware of aJlgbt la the pavilion. It was not stationary; but passed from one window to another, as though some one were reviewing the different apartments with a lamp or candle. I watched it for some seconds in great surprise. When I had arrived in the afternoon the house had been pla nly deserted; now it was as plainly occupied. It was my first idea that a gang of thieves might have broken In and be now ransacking Northmour's cupboards, which we' e many and not ill supplied. But what should bring thieves to Graden Easter? And, again, all the shutters had been thrown open, and It would have been more In the character of such gentry to close them. I dismissed the not on, and I fell back upon another. Northmour himself must hare arrived, and was now airing and Inspecting the pavilion. - In the morning I would pay him a short1 visit.w But' when the morning came 1 thought the situation so diverting that I forgot my shyness. Northmour was at, my mercy; I arranged a good practical jest, though I knew well that my neighbor was not the man to Jest with In security; and, chuckling beforehand CHAPTER It. ~ X returned to the] den to cook myseM 0 saoal,4f which I koodttn grog«**?«. as wel^ | s to tare for mf horse, whont 1 had somewhat negleeted in the morntag. From time to time I went down to, tho edge of the wood, but there was no change in tho pavilion, and nod a Human creature was seen all day upon Che links. The schooner In the offing was the one touch of life within my range of vision. She, apparent]/ with ho oat object, stood off and on or lay to, hour after hour, but as the evening deepened, she drew steadily nearer. I became more convinced that she carried Northmour Ami his friends, ana thai they would probably come ashore J after dark/ "* The night set in pitch dark. The wind came off the sea in equal's, like the firing of a battery of canncn; now and then there waa a flaw of rain, and the surf rolled heavier with the rising tide. I was down at the observatory among the elders, when a l'ghl was run up to the masthead of the schooner, and showed she was closer in than when I had last seen her by the dying daylight I concluded that this must be a signal to Northmour's associates on shore; and stepping forth in'o the links, looked around me for something in response A small footpath ran along the margin of the wood, and formed the most direct communication between the pavilion and the mansion house; and, as I cast my eyes to that side, I saw a spark of light, not a quarter of a mile away, and.rapidly approaching. From its uneven course it appeared to be the light of a lantern carried by a parson who followed the windings of the path, and was often staggered and taken aback by the more violent squalls. I concealed myself once more among the died, over its: success, took rayplace among Some ^ime~hefore 11, while the tide the e\ders at the edge of the wood, whence- I could command the door of the pavilion. The shutters were all once more closed, which I remember thinking odd; and the h o w . wijx its white walls and green Venetians, looked spruce and habitable In the morning light Hour after hour passed, and still no sign of Northmour. My mind at once reverted to the original theory of thieves, and I blamed myself sharply for my last night's inaction. I examined all the windows on the lower story, but none of them had been tampered with; I tried the padlocks, but they were both secure. It thus became a problem, how the thieves if thieves they were, had managed to enter the house> " I followed what I supposed was their example, and, getting on the roof, tried the shutters of each room. Both were secure; but I was not to be beaten; and, with a little force, one of them flew open, gracing, as it did so, the back of my hand. I remember I put the wound to my mouth, and stood for perhaps half a minute licking it like n dog, and mechanically gaxlng behind me over the Waste links and the aea; and. in that apace of time, my eye made note of a large schooner yacht some miles to the northeast Then I drew up the window and climbed in. I went over the house, and nothing can express my mystification. There was no sign of disorder, but, on the contrary, the rooms were unusually clean and pleasant. I found fires laid ready for lighting; three bedrooms prepared with a luxury quite foreign to Northmour's habits, and with water in the ewers and the beds turned down; a table set for three in the dining room; and an ample supply of ooW saents, gaaae and veegtables on tho pantry shelves. There were guests expected, that was plain; but why gnosis, when Northmoar hated society? And, above all, why waa the house thus stealthily prepared at dead of night? and why were the shutters closed and the doors padlocked? I effaced all traces of my visit, and came forth from the window, feeling sobered and concerned. The sebponer yacht was still in the same place, and it flashed for a moment through my mind that this might be the Red Earl bringing tho owner of the pavilion and his guests. Bmt tho set's head was oet tho other w*y. elders, and waited eagerly for the newcomer's advance. It proved to be a woman, and, as she passed within a few rods of my ambush, I was able to recognize the features. The deaf and silent old rame. who.had nursed Northmour in his childhood, was his associate in this underhand affair. I followed her at a little distance, taking advantage of the Innumerable heights and hollows, concealed by the darkness, and favored not only by the nurse's deafness, but the uproar of. the wind and the surf. She entered the pavilion, and, going at once to ther upper story, opened and set a light in' one of the windows that lotiked toward the sea. Immediately afterward the light at the schooner's masthead was run down and extinguished. Its purpose bad been attained^ and those pn> hoard were sure that they were expected'. The old woman resumed her preparations, Although the other: sbjittfers., remained close, I could see-a'gKmmer going to and fro about (% house; and a gush of sparks from ono etrimney after another soon told me that the fires were being kinwas still dangerously low, a boat's .lantern appeared close in shore; and my attention ewtuaf thus awakened I could perceive another stUl .fat.to seaward violently tossed and sometimes hidden by the billows.. The. weather, which was getting -dirtier, as the night Went on and the perilous situation of the yacht on a lee shore, had probably driven them to attempt a landing at the earliest possible moment A little afterward four yachtsmen carrying a very heavy chest and guided by a fifth with a lantern passed close in front of me as I lay and were admitted to the pavilion by the nurse. They returned to the beach and passed me a third time with another chest larger but apparently not so heavy as the first A third time they made the transit; and on this occaalon one of the yachtsmen carried a leather portmanteau and tne others a lady's trunk and carriage bag. My curiosity was sharply excited. While I was thus reflecting a second lantern drew near me from- the bra-h It was carried by a yachtsman whom I had not yet soon and who was conducting two other persons to the pavilion These two parsons were unquestionably the guests for whom the house war made ready; and, straining eye and ear, I set myself to watch them as they passed. Ono wis an unusually tan man, in s traveling hat slouched over his eyes and a highland capo closely buttoned and tnrnod up so as to conceal nis fate Ton could make out no more of him than that ho was, as I ho«e said, nnusu ally tall, and walked feebly with s heavy stoop.

QUEER PLACE frOR A N E S T . la m BUck of F»*oti Six F««t Behlad a Target. What will ornithologist*, poets, lovers and classical scholars do or say about the strange story which is toM as follows in Knowledge: At Cran- Ujrook, in Kent, there is a rifle range, wjhich has been used by the local volunteers for rifle practice, and at a distance of about six feet behind the targets there has been built a large stack of fagots which serve to stop the spent bullets. This year a pair of nightingales selected the stack as a site for their nest, which they built in the interior at a distance of about fifteen Inches from the surface of the front facing the targets, about four feet from the ground, and almost in a direct line with the center of one of the targets, which are constructed of canvas and allow the bullets to pass through directly Into the fagots. In that situation the birds built their nest, hatched their eggs, and reared their young, literally In a midst of a storm jof bullets, one of which ultimately proved fatal to one of the youngsters. The correspondent who sends this extraordinary tale, Mr. J. Herbert Allchin, is a cltisen of Maidstone, and had his information directly from Color Sergt W. Cogger of the Maidstone company, First West Kent rifle volunteers, who quite seriously and solemnly deposes that, while day after day acting as a marker, he had every opportunity of watching the parent birds, who were engaged in feeding their young. Sergt. Cogger avers that while he was in the butts at least 400 bullets were fired at the target and the wood In the fagots was splintered in every direction round the nest, but the little brown parents never for an hour left their beleaguered home, not even when an unlucky bullet slew one of the fledglings, but fearlessly and faithfully brought up their surviving young ones, and flew away with them at last to fts peaceful and sunny retreats wae** nightingales hide until spring brings back the daffodil and the bluebell, and the May bushes are full of the scented silver which nightingales love. Pay, Bad Uvta« and a C O M Strata Which Tflls* • For many years I lived on £60 a year—my magnificent remuneration for teaching a class of fifty-six girls from 9 la the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon, with a couple of hours' prsparation In the evening, says the Nineteenth Century. My people could not help at all—as a matte? of fact, as you know, I have from time to time been obliged to help B (her younger sister, also a high school teacher) in her constant rheumatic attacks, which she cannot provide for, and that entail six weeks' medical attendanoe and nursing. I paid 5s. and sometimes is. for my room; my food came to about 8s., this high amount being due to the fact that five days out of the week I had to pay 9d. for eaoh dinner, the mistress being compelled to have this meal at school; washing, Is. 6d.; firing and light a good part of the year, 2s. a week; stamps, paper, etc., 6d\; whioh left me about 4s. a week for dress, 'bus fares to and from heme, medicine, which I had always had to have, and doctoring. Z broke down altogether and had to give up for half a term. I think it was brought on by bad living aaf Qf course I was mulcted of my- salary for the time. My salary has now been raised by £5 at a time to £95, with which I suppose I shall have to be content. For this, in addition to my responsibility for a class of fifty-six girls, I have to teach drawing right through the school, harmony and botany. Of course many of the teachers are much better oft; they live at home, th«lr fathers being well able to support them; they can spend their money and get a holiday abroad. On the whole, after severe! years' work, I do not think most women workers are happy. It is not so much the work, although at a school like ours it entails great strain and a constant alertness of nerve and eye and temper, which I fancy tells, as we are all very neuralgic.

A "personal friend" of Prof. Theodore Mommsen, the German historian and scientist, who celebrated hlS'&Oth birthday on Nov. 30th last, in writing of him in the London Telegraph, says that until quite lately he was up at 5 o'clock to work on a cup of cold coffee put ready for him overnight. In his personal requirements he is the most modest of men, and by no means a house-tyrant; at t he comes down to breakfast with his wife and Ave daughters still at home, and he likes everybody to be there. One young lady who was staying in the house was not infrequently not "up to time/' This neglect did not escape his notice. "It is a pity you can't serve your year in the army," he remarked; "you would learn the difference between 8 and 1:80!" He can be very cutting in his remarks sometimes", but they are always tempered to the shorn lamb, though the full-grown sheep must weather the storm as best he can.

The most bloodcurdling tragedy ever enacted was not more sensational than tne dastardly plot which has been unearthed at Battle Creek by the weakening of one of the plotters, and which resulted in the arrest of Lawyer Charles R. Mains and Ed. Murphy on Che charge of attempting to kidnap and murder Lawyer Stephen 8. Hulbert. The plot is the outgrowth of a legal feud of long standing between Mains and Hulbert. Mains is charged with offering a man known as "Molly" McGuire, 9300 to sandbag Hulbert and deliver him in a carriage to him at the Union street bridge. McGuire revealed the plot to the officers. Detective Hamilton was dressed up In Hulbert's clothes and was taken by McGuire in a carriage and delivered to Mains at the place designated. There the officers were in waiting and arrested Mains. Upon Mains' person was found a revolver, SO feet of rope and a letter purporting to have been written hy Hulbert to his friend, E. 0. Nichols, in which he stated that Mains was innocent and that he was, guilty and that his sins troubled him so much that he would commit suicide. It is expected that skis letter would be mailed after the deed had been done. Near the place was found secreted ''Wall-Eyed1' Murphyv an accomplice, who was to accompany Mains the rest of the journey. Murphy was confused and told the Officers to go back where he was in hiding and'there they found a spade. k poescwent to the place and found a piano cover in which was wrapped a spade and a hatchet. Hulbert was to have been killed with the hatchet and buried near Homer. The entire conversation between M#> Gnlre and Mains was llstened^to by Detective Hamilton, whovwas sqnpqseVi to be the insensible Hulbert in the carriage, and by Deputy Sheriff Shoup and Constable Moore, who were in hiding nearby. McGuire was paid 920 on the spot by Mains with -a promise of the rest later., v .Albert Worden, aged 35, of Alma, was shot and instantly- killed by Samuel Brownell He leaves a widow and three children. Worden had been • drinking, when he called at Brownell's house near St. Louis. He got into a •-scuffle with Mrs. Brownell* who took a 'shotgun and threatened to kill him if be did not go away. He tried to strike her with a chair, and then seized the gun and endeavored to take it from her. ' M this Brownest easne up •1,336,779.56; total balance on hand Dec. 31, 1897, $124,742.49.

Brownell fired, the charge striking Worden just above the heart and killing him instantly. Worden had been told to keep away from the house, according to the Brownells' story. They also allege that he was abusing their .children when the row started. All the parties concerned bear an unsavory reputation. Brownell was locked up. Ceamatlee as Detroit. The great camp and great hive of Michigan Maccabees at Detroit was an event to be remembered, The Qpcmng feature was.an extensive street parade participated in by about 9,000 Meccawith handsome floats, picturesque and grotesque costumes and plenty of music, making a carnival whioh was hugely enjoyed by the thousands who lined the streets to witness it. The parade was followed in the evening by a magnificent reception tendered the officers of the supreme camp end supreme hive and the great camp and great hive of the Maccabees, in the Light Infantry armory: The delegates to the great eamp K, O.

Great Commander Boyton reported that the order 1B In a prosperous condition. He recommended the giving of larger powers to the executive committee in the employment of district deputies. He also advocated the division of the state into districts for the selection of delegates to the great camp, thus to reduce the number of delegates and lessen the expense of the conventions. Great Record Keeper Watson reported the total of life benefit members admitted during 1896, as 7,028, for whom certificates were issued amounting to 99,196,000; social members admitted, 1,065. The number of life benefit members admitted during 1897 was 9,448, for whom certificates were issued amounting to 911,454,000; social members, 1,373. The net gain Jn endowment membership for the 1896-7 t rm is 8,347, while the social membership decreased by 344,. leaving a net increase of 8,003. During the term the number of deaths in the order was 738, or a death rate of 5.94 per year per 1,000 members; and the total amount of death benefits paid was 91,030,300.50. In addition to death benefits, total and permanent disability and old age benefits were paid to the amount of 979,- 141.50, making a total amount paid during the term ot 91,109,443.

A special dispatch from Washington says the most of the transports carrying 95,000 troops and 10 batteries, together with siege guns and balloon corps, has at'last sailed from Tampa for Key West. At that point they will be joined by several warships and convoyed to Santiago. The landing at the beselged Spanish city will be made on Sunday, under protection, of the guns of Admiral Sampson's fleet. Maj.-Gen Shafter is in command of the expedition. A special from Kingston, Jamaica, reports that 5,000 U. S. troops have landed near Punta Cabrera, a little to the west of the entrance of Santiago harbor, where a junction was affected with Gen. Calixto Garcias army of 3,000 insurgents. It is added that the landing was effected under cover of a fire from Admiral Sampson's fleet. With the troops were several heavy siege guns. Cape Haitien: The IT. S. troopship Resolute, formerly the York town, under convoy of the torpedo boat destroyer Mayflower, arrived at Mole St. Nicolas and departed shortly afterward. Wasbingtont^Phe transport Resolute, reported to have touched at Mole St. Nicolas, had on board a number of heavy siege guns, a. company of engineers and several companies of regulars, besides 800 marines, and It is probably these that have landed at Punta Cabrera, a point six miles from Santiago. Mole St. Nicolas, Haiti: News of the successful landing of 5,000 American troops a few miles west of Santiago de Cuba was brought here by the U. 8. auxiliary cruiser St. Louis. There were three regiments of Infantry, three batteries of artillery, several heavy siege guns and a force of engineers. Another cable from Cape Haitien says: At daybreak American troops were landed at Aguadores, a few miles eaBt of the entrance to Santiago harbor. The troops were put ashore under cover of Sampsons guns, the batteries at that point having first been silended by s sharp bombardment. The heaviest guns were used, as shown by the extraordinary distance at which the^cauuuuading was hesrri, ,.The_te ing continued several hours. Washington: The officials do not credit the cable report that troops have been landed at Point Cabrera, west of Santiago, and they are inclined to the opinion that if there has been any landing In that vicinity It was confined to m small force with a supply of arms and food for the insurgents abounding in Santiago province. As far as can be gathered, 4n spite ot all reports to the contrary, troops have not yet started from Tampa and the naval officials are impatiently awaiting for the movement. It is possible.. that a small advance detachment has gone forward.

S. detectives in the house at Montreal, Que., occupied by Senor Du Bosc and Lieut. Carranza, formerly of the Spanish legation at Washington, has revealed the whole workings of the Spanish spy system in the United States. It shows that through Spanish agents the Madrid government and the Admiral Cervera»s fleet has been kept advised of every move made by the U. S. The information secured from the documents secured resulted in the arrest of over 50 suspected spies at Washington and Tampa and when the U. S. government had communicated the facts of the ease to Sir Julian Pauneefote, the British ambassador at Washington, the latter cabled the entire matter to London. (J. S. Ambassador Hay, at London, also made a strong case against the Spanish spies and received assurances that steps would he taken at once to expel Carranza, Du Bosc and their aids from British territory. After the Spaniards discovered that the documents which revealed their secrets had been stolen they caused the arrest of Private Detective Kellert on a charge of theft. They failed to make out a ease, however, and now Kellert has had both Du Bosc and Carranxa arrested tor false imprisonment and he demanded 995,000 damages. They secured their liberty under heavy ball, bat their troubles were not yet over as they were informed that proceedings are likely to be begun against them for violation of the neutrality laws. Montreal dispatches say: If the United States government gives the Dominion government the evidence that Du Bosc and Carranxa were Implicated in any act which might be construed as a breach of neutrality law., their arrest hy this government will follow at once. Sir Julian Pannoefote joss communicated with the Canadian government, urging them to firmly request the Spanish agents to leave^he country and in case of a refusal to er. restthem. «hes*au4ngefthedLI. & ooiHerMerrlmao In the, narrow *oaaael entering Hindlngo hjuboiY, which Jthe> (Spanish repotted as a big-victory dolering, they bed sunk a U.

He called for volunteers from the Merrimao and the flagship New York to go to almost certain death and 400 men offered themselves. Navel Constructor Lieut. Richmond P. Hobson and six men were chosen and the Merrimao, under her own steam* entered the channel under a terrible Spanish fire. The vessel was riddled with projectiles, but she anchored and swung around. Lieut. Hobson then set oft? an Internal torpedo with an electric attachment; there was an explosion* the Merrimao sunk, the channel was closed and, apparently, Admiral Cervera will be unable to escape. The heroic crew of the Merrimao was not doomed to death and were saved by boarding an old catamaran whioh had been thrown overboard after the Merrimac's boats had been demolished by Spanish shots. Unable, after the sinking of their vessel, to make their way back through the storm of shot and shell, they rowed Into the harbor to the Spanish flagship, and were taken on board unharmed. The news of their wonderful escape was sent to Rear-Admiral Sampson by Admiral Cervera, the Spanish admiral being so struck with the courage of the Merrltnacs crew that he thought Admiral Sampson should know that they had not lost their lives. Admiral Cervera's chief of staff, Capt. Oviedo, boarded the New York under a flag of truce, bearing the announcement of the safety of the Merrimac's men and returning with a supply of provisions and money for the prisoners. The Spanish fleet is now a helpless captive in Santiago harbor. The narrow channel leading into the harbor being completely blocked by the Merrimae being sunk across its entrance. It to now impossible for the Spaniards to get out, and it is equally Impossible for any vessel to get into the harbor. Therefore the Spanish first-class armored cruisers Maria Teresar Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo> with the two torpedo boat destroyers Furor and PI uton, are no longer of uny use to Spain.

In fact the transports have been partially loaded for several days and there are 96 of such transports at Tampa, capable of taking 25,090 men.

Oh, Maddy, what shall we do?" Madeline arose and began pacing Impatiently up and down the room. "Hush!" she cried; "there la a ring at the bell. It Is Mrs. Benjamin again. Qo tefi her I am engaged—bdsy—gone out—anything you please. No—stay! Perhaps I had better see her, after all." And Madeline went downstairs to where Mrs. Joyce sat in faded silk and darned lace, with white, wasted hands folded in her lap and an embroidered ottoman under her feet "It is like a dream," Madeline said to herself. "And to think there is nothing in the house for dinner! Perhaps Mrs. Benjamin will ask mamma to dine, and Bee and I can send out for half a pound of crackers. We can eat anything." And through her disjointed meditations her mother's soft, jweet voice sounded. "To the White mountains? With you? My dear Mrs. Benjamin, you are very kind. I am sure, and Maddy must use her own discretion about accepting Do you hear, darling? Mrs. Benjamin wants you to accompany her to the mountains as soon as she has secured a nursery governess for her dear little boys. I am sure it would be a charming opportunity for you to see a little of life, for circumstances, you know, preclude me from giving you much variety." Madeline looked up with a sudden flitter in her eyea. "A nursery governess? I think I know of some one, Mrs. Benjamin, who will suit you, if—if your terms are at all libera!"

I have been mistaken in Madeline Joyce, and the sooner she understands it, the better.. A mere society butterfly—too proud to work, too frivolous to stop and think! And I bad fancied her so different." Mrs. Benjamin's tall footman put on a supercilious grin, as Mr. Atheling asked for Miss Joyce. "The new nussery gov'ness," said he. "Upstairs — second story, back, please." Mr. Atheling, somewhat surprised and a little cannoved, ascended the staircase by himself. The door was half-open and he could see Madeline Joyce, a book in her lap end two or three chubby little boys swarming around her, evidently intent on anything and everything but their lessons. She started up, crimson and confused at the sight of the dark, handsome face she knew so well. "It is about the rent," she gasped. T e a , yes—I knew. We cannot pay it just yet, but—but " He smiled as he took her hand. "You are not going to the White mountains, then?" "Yes, I am—as Mrs. Benjamin's nursery governess. Only mamma does not know. It would break her heart, Mr. Atheling. And the very first quarter's salary I receive shall be forwarded . immediately to you. For " "Madeline!" he burst forth. Impulsively. "I have mistaken you—1 have misjudged yqti altogether. Will you pardon me?" "I don't understand you, Mr. Atheling." And then he explained. Madeline's scarlet upper lip curved. "And you believed I could go fashion- hunting, pleasure-seeking, w h i l e - while we owed money that we could not pay? Oh, Mr. Atheling!" Five minutes later Master Clarence Bftnfamjii rushed down to his mother's boudoir. "Mamma! mamma!" he howled, "come quick. There's a strange man whispering to M{as Joyce, and she's crying." But when Mrs. Benjamin reached the scene of action the tears were all dried up, and Madeline was smiling and coloring radiantly. "Oh, Mr. Atheling, it is you!" cried the lady, recognising the wealthy landholder. "And Maddy " "I may as well tell you," said Madeline, softly; "Mr. Atheling has asked me to marry him, and " "And you will lose your nursery governess." said Atheling, smiling. Madeline Joyce never gave up her honest pride. And she went to the v White mountains, after all. but it was aa a bride.—New York News. Cat Cmxv+r+ntUm. The commonest sound of pleasurable emotion, the ordinary purr, has no purpoee to serve; it is an outcome of pure satisfaction, and is thus slightly distinguished from a chirrup—the nearest approach a cat makes to respond in utterance when it is affectionately addressed. The response by backward movement of the ears is more frequent The chuckle of pleasurable excitement is used when the cat is quite unaware of the presence of people, or other cats, aa much as when it is playing with a person or an animal companion. Again, a cat mews to itself when it is bored or hungry; but if It is making a direct appeal for food, does ao, unless it is painfully hungry, with a very small voice or a mouth silently opened. Except, perhaps, for the chirrup of response, the call appears to be the only real approach to language; and here it seems possible that the cat does really listen for a response, aad call again.—London Spectator. • Tba He—Susie, dear, T esHated today to fight against Spain.

He deplored the present method of bringing up the children in the average home, which bad a tendency to make .them helpless, ana advocated educating every child into a fixed purpose in life, as far as possible making them dependent upon themselves for their pleasures.

The Deutsche Ztftung of Vienna, referring to this subject recently, aaya: "The great North American republic constitutes a warning for all European princes and governments who are steering for absolutism. Were it not for the American union the cause of civil liberty in Europe in our days would be in a bad way." It would probably surprise most rulers of the more despotic countries of Europe to know to what extent sentiments such aa the above prevail in their dominion*. J. R. Cravath makes some useful suggestions to owners of electric-light plants In towns of 2,000 to 6,090 m1- habitaata. Towns of this slae usually t "have aa electric-light plant, a water works system, a small factory1 or two and a dosea or more small- steam plants of from one to twenty horsepower. Mr. Cravath maintains that there te ordinarily no good reason why the electric light company cannot supply power to these varied Industries more cheaply and more satisfactorily than under the preaent ay stem of every man for himself. Iff other words the power generation for the community should be consolidated under the roof of the electric-light plant, and the men and boilers and engines there employed made to earn money twenty-four hours a day Instead of two or three. General Merrltt, who goes to the Philippines aa military governor of that island empire of the Pacific, ia the aeeond In command of our national axgay. He won fame and honor aa Sheridan's chief officer in the great battles of the war. He was an unrelenting warrior, once fighting nine battles in ten successive days. His military career la' more or less on record, but of hla private life little has been given to the public. Gen. Wesley Merrltt's father, John Willis Merrltt, was a New York lawyer, having an office at No. 134 Nassau street when the boy waa born. Dec. 1, 1836, at No. 67 North Moore street. He was one of eight brothers. Twenty months later the law office waa at No. 8 Spruce street, the family having removed to Brooklyn. When Wesley was four years old his father, having a large and increasing family, abandoned law for agriculture and bought a farm at "Looking Glass Prairie," near Bellvllle, 111., not far from St Louis. Young Merrltt attended the school of the Christian Brothers, a Catholic institution, at Belleville. Later he worked on the farm for three years, helping his brothers raise corn and pork, for which that section has alwaya been famous. Merrltt a Farmer. Young Merrltt often drove the farm team seventeen miles to town, getting only fifteen cents a bushel for his corn. Everything that a farmer produced In those days was cheap as dirt, and there waa little money in circulation. Pastehoard checks circulated between merchants and farmers in some localities, and their merchandise seemed high beoauae it took so much corn and pork to pay for it. Being a lawyer and a man of a literary turn of mind, the boy's father aspired to do something besides raising corn. He started a local evening newspaper at Belleville^calied the Advocate, and later a^weeUy of tlie same name at Lebanon. Both were Democratic organs, and, like most of the Democratic journals of that day, were for territorial extension, the annexation of Texas, and the settlement of the vexed and formidable "Oregon Question" by taking possession of the country clear to the Paculc ocean. Young Merrltt helped his father and brothers publish this Democratic news- Paul, and waa buried at West Point, where the general waa superintendent for five years. The MerriUs originally sprang from three brothers, who came to America from Ireland in 1600, their descendants settling In Winchester, and from that family, it is said, all the Merrltta born in this country have descended. Of General Merrltt's military history much has been written. A mere record of his battles, engagements and MISS LAURA WILLIAMS. (The Chicago Girl Soon to Become the Bride of Gen. Merrltt.) campaigns would fill columns. He had many narrow escapes from death—a notable one at the battle of Beverly Ford in 1863, when he was attacked by a Confederate officer and a desperate hand to hand contest followed. He was sabered over the head, and would have been killed but for the toft felt hat which he wore, containing a big army pocket handkerchief. In this engagement he was surrounded and his troops nearly captured. He fought with a courage and desperation that won a great victory. The newspapers of the day were filled with his exploits in that particular engagement, and on A. <*atnffyM telegfasa -we* teat to 4ee> eral Merrltt, tbes*olonel of the Fifth otvafcry at Fort % A.

It la considered remarkable that he did not kill a horse or a man during hla mountain march, With Custer, Mcpherson and Sheridan, Merrltt waa called one of the boy generals of the war. Graduating from West Point but a few months before the oivll war broke out, he joined the Second dragoons and continuously distinguished himself In the cavalry aervice all through the war. He was Sheridan's right hand man in the great campaigns of the Shenandoah leading up to the battle of Five Forks and the surrounding and crushing of Lee. Merrltt's six brevets from major to major general for his heroic and irresistible fighting at Gettysburg. Yellow Tavern, Hawe's Shop, Winchester, Flsher'a Hill, Five Forks and the Appomattox campaign are among his undying achievements in the great war. His title of colonel in the regular army, the Fifttr cavalry, waa bestowed on him Ja 1876. Later, when he was given command of the much sought department of the Missouri, with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth; and subsequently at St. Louis, many socalled experts in military matters thought it hardly fair to bestow so great an honor—*-to shower the golden stars of war—on the youngest brigadier general immediately following his promotion. General Merrltt's military career In closely contested engagements, in great and hazardous campaigns, was always that of a soldier and a hero. He was graduated from West Point July 1, I860, just before the rebellion, and reached a captaincy in the Second cavalry April 5, 1862, and was brigadier of volunteers June 29, 1863, A Boldtor sad H«r*. In the army of the Potomac, on the staff of General Cooke, and later with General Stoneman, in his famous raid toward Richmond, he won renown. In command of cavalry he crossed the Rappahannock and surprised the enemy, but for hours was nearly surrounded and once on the point of being captured. A confederate officer gave him a savage sabre cut on the head, but he continued fighting gallantly, leading his men and winning an amaijnjLvic- Ar+OVMER •OtdfMP.PasKNT.

It ia expected he waa wounded and the fact concealed. The navy department haa not yet given out an official list of the wounded at the battle of Manila. Capt. Grldley is the first American officer of great prominence whose death is a direct result of the existing war with Spain.

CHAPTER IL-CC<mtiiHl#dJ My wife and I, a man and a woman, have often agreed to wonder how a person eould be at the same time so handsome and to repulsive aa Northmour. He had the appearance of a finished gentleman; his face bore every mark of intelligence and courage, but you only had to look at him, even in his most amiable moment, to see that he had the temper of a slave captain. I never ko$w a character that was both explosive and revengeful to the same degree; he combined the vivacity of the South with the sustained and deadly hatreds of the North; and both traits were plainly written on hia face, which was a sort of danger signal. In person he was tall, strong and active; his hair and complexion very dark; his features handsomely designed, but spoiled by a menacing expression. At that moment he waa somewhat paler than by nature; he wore a heavy frown; and hia lips worked, and he looked sharply round as he walked.like a man besieged with apprehensions. And yet I thought he had a look of triumph w l e r r y l n g all, aa though he had already done much, and waa near the end of an achievement Partly from a scrapie of delicacy— which I dare say came too late—partly from the pleasure of startling an acquaintance, I desired to make my presence known to him without delay? I got suddenly to my feet, and stepped forward. "Northmour!" satd I. I have never had so shocking a surprise in all my days. He leaped on me without a word; something shone in his hand; and he struck for my heart with a dagger. . At the same moment I knocked him head over heels. Whether it was my quickness, or his own uncertainty, I know not; hut the blade only grazed my shoulder, while the hilt and bis fist struck me violently on the mouth. I fled, but not far. I had often and often observed the capabilities of the sand hills for protracted ambush on stealthy advances and retreat*; and, not ten yards from the scene of the scuffle, plumped down again upon the grass. The lantern had fallen and gone out. But what was my astonishment to see. Northmour slip at a bound into the pavilion, and hear him bar the door behind him with a.clang of iron! He had not pursued me. He had run away. Northmour, whom I knew for the most Implacable and daring of men, had run away! md «0 hence—believe m * quickly, quickly,' f o » > o y r As I thus stood transfixed with wonder, I began to grow painfully conscious of the injuries I had received in the, acuffla; I skulked around among ^tt*sand hills; and, by a devious path, reg#tj|a4 this shelter of the wood. Oa th». way, the old nnrse paaeed again ] within, several yard* of mev still earrylng. her lantern, on the return Journey to the mansion house of Qraden. This made a seventh suspicious feature Inlche ease. Northmour and his guests, it appeared, were to cook and do the cleaning for themselves, while the old woman continued U-tsAebU the big empty barrack, among the policies.

Although I could hear nothing of what they said, aad rarely t o much as glean a decided expression oa the face «f either, there waa a distance, almost a stiffness, in their bearing which showed thusa to he either /unfamiliar or at enmity. On the morning of the third day she walked alone tor some time, and I perceived, tc my great/ concern that site was more than once in tears. You will see that my heart was already interested more than I supposed. She had a firm yet airy motion of the body, and carried her head with unimaginable grace; every step was a thing to look a t and she seemed In my eyes to breathe sweetness and distinction. The day was so agreeable, being calm and sunshiny, with a tranquil sea, and yet with a healthful piquancy vigor in the air, t h a t contrary to custom, she was tempted forth a second time to walk. On this occasion she was accompanied by Northmour, and they had been but a short while on the beach when I saw him take forcible possession of her hand. She struggled, and uttered a cry that was almost a scream. I sprang to my f e e t unmindful of my strange position; h u t ere I had taken a step I saw Northmour bare-headed and bowing very low, as if to apologise; -and dropped again at once into my ambush. A few words were interchanged, and then, with another bow, he left the beach to return to the pavilion. He passed not far from me, and I could see him, flushed and lowering, and cutting savagely with his cane among the grass. It was not without satisfaction that I recognized my own handiwork in the great cut under his right eye, and a considerable discoloration around the socket For some time the girl remained where he had left her, looking out past the islet and over the bright sea. Then with a start as one who throws off preoccupation and puts energy again upon its metal, she broke into a rapid and decisive walk. She also was much incensed by what had passed. She had forgotten' where she was. And I beheld her walk straight into the borders of the quicksand where it is most abrupt and dangerous. Two or three steps further and her life would have been in serious jeopardy, when I slid down the1 face of the sand hill, which is there precipitous, and, running half way forward, called to her to stop.. She did; so, and turned round. Therewas not a tremor of fear in her behavior, and she marched directly up to me like a queen. "What does this mean?" she ajked. "You were walking,** I told her, "directly into Graden Floe." "You dr/ not belong to these parts." she said again. "You speak like an educated plan, What do you mean-r you, a gentleman—by skulking like a spy aoout this desolate place? Tell me," she said, "who is it you hate?" "I hate no one," I answered, "and I fear no one face to face. My name Is CasslliB-^rafik .'CasilTis. I lead the life of a ^agnhond Hror my own good I pleasure. >I am one of Northmour*s oldest M i n d s , and three nights ago when I s^drnssed him; pit these links he stabbed m e in the shoulder with a knife." "It was you!" she said. "Why he did so." I continued, disregarding the interruption, "is more than I can guess and more than I care to know. I have not many friends, nor am I very susceptible to friendship, but no man shall drive me from a place by terror. I had camped in Graden Sea-wood ere he came; I camp in it still. If you think 1 mean harm to you or yours, mad*in, the remedy is in your hand. Tell him that my camp is in the Hemlock Den, and to-night he can stab me in safety while I sleep." With this I doffed my cap to her and scrambled up once more among the sand hills. I do not know why, but I felt a prodigious sense of injustice and feit like a hero and a martyr; white, as a matter of fact, I had not a word to say m my defense nor so much aa one phwiaihle reason to offer for my conduct Next day jhe came out about the same hour alone, and, as soon as the sand hills concealed her from the pavilion, drew nearer to the edge, and called me by name in guarded tones. I was astoniahed to observe that she was deadly pale, and seemingly under the Influence of strong emotion. "Mr. Caasilisr she cried; "Mr. Cassilis!" I appeared at once, and leaped down upon the beach. A remarkable air of relief overspread her countenance as ."You must not ask me," w a s h e a j s * # y , "for t ani not free to tell you. O u V believe me, and s o hen and go away q life!" An appeal to hia alarm la never . a good plan to rid one's self of a spirited young man. My obstinacy was but increased by what she said, and I, made it a point of honor to remain. And her solicitude for my safety still more confirmed mo in the resolve. "You must not think me inquisitive, madam," I replied; "but U Graden ia so dangerous a place you yourself perhaps remain here at soma risk." 8he only looked at me reproachfully. "You and your father"—but she interrupted roe almost with a gasp. "My father! How do you know that?" she cried. "I saw you together whan you landed," was my answer; and I do not know why, but it seemed satisfactory to both of us, as indeed it was the truth. "But" I continued, "you need have no fear from me. I see you have some reason to be secret, and, you may believe me, your secret is as safe with me as if I were in Graden Floe. I have scarce spoken to any one for years. My horse is my only companion, and even he, poor beast is not beside me. You.see, then, you may count on me for silence. So tell me the truth, my dear young lady, are you not in danger?" "Mr. Northmour says you are a a honorable man," she returned, "and I believe it when I see you. I will tell you so much, you are right; we are in dreadful, dreadful danger, and you share it by remaining where you are." "Ah!" said I; "you have heard of me from Northmour? And he gives me a good character ?" "I asktd him about'you last night," was her reply. "I pretended," she hesitated, "I pretended to have met you long ago and spoken to you of him. It was not true; but I could not.help myself without betraying you and you bad put me in a difficulty. He praised you highly." "And—you may permit me one question— does this danger come from Northmour?" I asked. "From Mr. Northmour?" she cried. "Oh, no^ he stars with us to share It" "While you propose that I should run away?" I said. "Y04 do not rate me very high. "Why should you stay?" she asked. "TOJUPM nn fripm| of oura." I know not what came over me, for I -had not been conscious of a similar weakness since I was a child, but I J was so mortified by this retort that my eyes pricked and filled with tear* as I continued to gase upon her face. "No, no," she said in a changed voice; "I did not mean the words unkindly." "It was I who offended" I amid: and i heio out my hand with a look of ap- "Ohr she cried, with a hoarse sound, Mke one whoae bosom has been lightened of weight -And then, "Thank God, you are still s a f e r she added; . 1 know if you were you would be here.

The following day we agaia m e t The next and that waa the fourth day of our s^'isintsnce, we met la the same spot, but early l a the morning, with much familiarity, and yet much timidity on either side. When she had once more spoken about my danger and that, I uhderatsmd, waa her excuse for coming—I, who had prepared a great deal of talk during the night began to tell her how highly I valued her said interest, and how no one had ever eared to hear about my life, nor had I ever cared to relate It, before yesterday. Suddenly she interrupted me, saying with vehemence: "And y e t if you know who I was. you would not so much as speak to me!" I told her such a thought waa madness, and, little as we had m e t I counted her already a dear friend; but my protestations seemed only t o make her More1 desperate.

Af*4 St. Speculated on the Death of a KftMMMk* At the age ox 88 years H. H. Luce has been speaulating on the death of a man bearing his own name. His In' vestment proved a successful one, and yesterday the old man was at the city's deadbouae to secure evidence which would enable him to collect the principal and profit on his»speculstton, Friday Frank B. Luce, the hermit ot the gum tree district, died suddenly near his cabin. Three faithful dogs, who had been his only companions tor years, snarled and barked when the men from the morgue came to remove the body. As far as the coroner's deputies could learn, these dogs were the only friends of the dead. Yesterday H. H. Luce, tottering and Infirm, called at the morgue and asked that he be allowed to view the remains. His request was granted, and then Luee made his way to the coroner's office. Here he asked for a certificate showing that B. Frank Luce was dead. He explained that he was no relative ot the deceased, but that he had been interested with the dead man in a financial way. Then he told his story. He held a life Insurance policy on the deceased calling for S2.000. It was a simple business proposition, so Luce said. The policy was in his name, the man was dead, and he wanted to collect the money as soon as possible. Tears ago, as he explained, B. Frank Luce, a member of the Knights of Honor, finding himself unable to pay his assessments in that order, negotiated with H. H. Luee for the payment—of-the-asseasments. This done, the policy or benefit for $2,000 was made out in H. H. Luce's favor. Luce said he had paid in 91.400 on assessments. He was therefore 9600 ahead and he wanted his money. After he had told his story the officials at the morgue asked him to what undertaking parlors the body of his dead friend should be taken. "None. Better leave him here and let him'be burled by the city," said the old man, and he started down the stairs with the evidence of the death of his investment in his pocket. Late last evening Mr. Lnce called at the morgue and said that he had decided to defray the funeral expenses of the dead man. He was told that the body had been interred la the potter's field. Luce then expressed his intention of having the remains exhumed and given proper burial. He gave a local undertaker instructions to carry out his wishes.—Ban Francisco Examiner. mint Ail Opportunity for Inventor* Upon official announcement we are Fer Male.

Wise Aged la a Few Various processes have beet proposed tjom time to time tor the ageing of wines and liquors by the agtney of electricity, the latest hailing from Germany. It is stated that by this process new wine can be given the properties of old wine In a very few hours. Xhe process is an electrolytic one, and consists In passing a weak current ot electricity through the wine between carbon poles. The negative pole is placed in the wine and the other pole in a cylinder containing diluted alcohol, separated by a porous diaphragm. When a slight current is sent between these poles hydrogen Is liberated, and this destroys the add character of the wine, sweetening sour wine in a very brief period. Saw Bar* and Lafayette. D. H. Bradt, of North Hannibal, writes to the Family Herald and Weekly Star: Reading in your issue of the 7th Inst, about Aaron Burr brings to mind my boyhood days, I am In my 87th year, and well remember Aaron Burr, as I saw him hundreds of times In Albany, where I lived at that time. I think it was about 1822 or '23. He always went with his head bowed down, and I do not remember ever seeing him speak to any one. He had two young ladies with him, for whom he gained quite a fortune that one of their relatives tried to wrong them of. Also a boy for whom he did the same as he did for the ladles. The boy went to the same school as I did. He told Paaeeeeiary F*©*f. Mrs, Bowers (angrily)—"Before were married you said you were, not worthy% of my love*" Mr. Boweit (weakly)—"Yesh, m' dear."

He said his sisters (as he called them) used tot skate on the Ice, which was something I don't remember in ladies doing when a boy. I also remember well the Marquis de Lafayette; he came to Albauy three different times, and I saw him each time. The last time he took dinner in the Capitol hall. The city marshal, who lived in and was Janitor of the capitol, let me have the keys o fthe different rooms to show strangers through the building, and, boy as was, I was door-keeper part ot the time the general and guests were eatins their dinner.

Dr. Adolph Miller, of Philadelphia, president of the Pennsylvania Mycologies! club, in a dissertation on the pepper plant, says that during the middle ages in Europe pepper was the most esteemed and important of all the spices. Genoa, Venice and other' commercial cities of central Europe were indebted to their traffic in pepper for a large part of their wealth. Its importance as a means of promoting commercial activity and civilisation during the middle ages can nardfy be overrated. Tribute was levied In pepper, and donations were made in this epic*, which was frequently also used as a medium of exchange in place of money. When tbe imperial city of Rome was besieged by Alarlc, the king of the Goths, in .408 A. D., the ransom demanded Included 5,000 pounds of gold, 80,000 pounds of silver and 8.000 pounds ot pepper, illustrating the importance of thla spice at that time.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK Of the ptnokney Public School?. >,wwf<h -,-»» Itf Commencement week id all schools is a busy one and has been no exception here. On Sunday evening, Rev. Fr. Comerford delivered the baccalaureate address in St. Mary's church and that large edifice was filled to overflowing. The address took just fortyfive minutes and was fall ot excellent advice to those who are just'leaving school lite to enter life's school. The mere education of the mind was a . fail are unless by that education the inner man—the soul—was made better. The knowledge of all science without accepting Christ would result as nothing, and the end would be a humilating failure. Wednesday evening was the regular annual commencement exercises and aj usual they were largely attended and every part excellent. We would be glad to give extracts from, each subject but our space will not! fffertnlt. The following is the program as it was rendered: . Music, Sunshine and Boss*. Invocation, Rev. C. 8. Jones.

Man a* Department Commander— W. B. O. and 8. of V. Convention*. Port Huvon had the honor of entertaining the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Michigan, at its 20th annual encampment, and right well did the city act the part of host for the veterans, and at the same time took good care of the Women's Relief Corps1 and the fsons of Veterans' conventions, which were held simultaneously with the G. A. H. encampment. The grand review parade, which is always a feature of the encampments, was witnessed by several thousand people and various portions were enthusiastically cheered. The business sessions of the G. A. R. were held in the Auditorium. Department Commander Bliss in his annual address rebuked the slanderers of the pensioners and characterized it as a despicable attempt to poison the public mind against the veterans. He advised the G. A. R. to advance the interests of the 8. of V. and complimented the work done by the W. R. C. in its support of the grand army. The report of Adjt.-Gen. Pond, showed a membership June 30, 1807, of 16,090 in the department of Michigan and a membership 1¾ present *>f 15=831, i n 3 8 3 posts. The death loss during the year was 338 while the net loss was but 265, indicating a gain in members of 73. Relief was furnished amounting to $2,759.54. The total assests of all the posts of this estate is given as exceeding 885,000. The receipts of the department during the year were $5,590.51 and the expenditures $4,662.43; present 'cash assets,. $1,061.84, of which 8835.49 is in the Alger fund. During the year 1,000 headstones were placed over the graves of veterans. The contest for the department commander promised to be quite animated, with Alex. Patrick and Maj. 11. W. Jacklin, of Detroit; Commandant Judd, of the Soldiers' Home: Judge R. R. Peeler, of Three Rivers, and ex-Labor Commissioner Charles R. Morse, of Gratiot county, as candidates, but on the first ballot Comrade Patrick received S79 out of a total of 378 votes; Charles H. Morse, 48, Capt. Judd, 32; Maj. Jacklin, 15; scattering, 4. For the o.ther officers there was very tittle contest and ballots were taken in only a few instances. The result was as follows: Senior vice-commander, Moses P. Carleton, Port Huron; junior vice-commander, David C. Spears, Azalia; medical director, Dr. Oscar Palmer. Grayling; chaplain, D. ltumham Tracy, Detroit; assistant adjutant-general, Col C. V. It. Pond, Lansing: couu- . cil of administration, Ren. Barker, Reed City; Thomas Keyes, Ionia; H. S. White, Romeo; Ogden Tomlinson, Plain well; J. C. Bontecou, Petoskey. A telegram of greeting and commendation was sent to Gen. Alger on the successful manner in which he has managed the affairs of the war department. Petoskey was chosen as the place for holding next year's encampment. The other business transacted was of routine character. The veterans, their wives and sons were given a ride on Lake Huron on the steamers O. D. Conger and Hiawatha. I The Women'b Relief Corp*. The Women's Relief Corps held their sessions in the Congregational church with nearly 200 delegates in attendance. The reports of officers showed the organization to be in a very flourishing condition. During the past year there was a gain of 508 members and 10 corps, making the present membership in Michigan 8,066, and total number of corps 254. Over $6,100 was spent in relief during the year, and the amount on hand is $1,753. The following officers were selected: Department president, Mrs. Mary A Connelly, Flint; senior vice, Clara E. Torrey, Rochester; junior vice, Josephine A. Post, Port Huron; chaplain, Mary Van Doran, Holly; treasurer, Emma Chamberlin, Flint; secretary. Eunice Haynes, Flint: inspector, Mrs. Roscoe A. Dix; chief of staff, Mrs. Eliza A. Barker. A new secret work was exemplified. Sons of VeU'raan. The 15th annual camp of the Michigan Sons of Veterans was pitched in Pine Grove park, with 200 delegates present. The reports of officers showed the organisation to have passed a very prosperous year. The present membership is 2,083, with 77 camps; 24 new camps having been instituted during the year. A greeting was sent to the Sons of Veterans company of the 33d M^Vgf"1 regiment, encamped at Camp Alger. The following officers were seleetod: Commander, (teo. E. Cogshall, Ctraod Rapids; senior vice, 8. A. Crane, Deerfieid; junior vice, Fred W. Shermari, Port Huron.; adjutant, F. D. Bddy, Grand Rapids; quartermaster, C. / .

The new Case ,,PQwer building on Congress street west, Detroit, was destroyed by Are at an-early morning hour. It was but recently erected on the spot where a previous large fire had occurred. The blaze started on the fourth floor at 2:45 a. m. and an hour later the structure was a mass of ruins, the walls having all fallen in. The building was valued at $90,000 and was insured for $60,000. The losses of the numerous tenants—small manufacturers and business offices—brings the total damage up to about $150,000. The flames spread on eithe** side and across the street, and the Seitz office building, the Wayne County Savings Bank building, the Detroit Gas Co.'s building and old St. Paul's church were badly damaged. Five firemen were badly injured in various ways while fighting the flames. MICHIGAN NEWS ITEMS. Spanish Resort to indian Tacti«6 in Their Attacks. Petoskey will be bonded for $16,000 to secure a commercial electric lighting plant. Twenty-six out of 28 M. A. C. students examined by Lieut. Smoke for enlistment in the regular army, were accepted. The University of Michigan will begin its next college year Sept. 27 instead of Oct. 1 as has been the custom heretofore. The 32d Michigan regiment at Tampa has again been transferred and is now in the B'ourth Army Corps, under Maj.- Gen. Coppinger. The Michigan Naval Reserves of the Yosemite captured a Spanish field gun in the attack on the fortifications of ^Guantanamo bay,- ^ Thomas P. Kennedy* aged 23, a plumber, was run over and killed by a local freight train on the Ann Arbor railroad at Ann Arbor. Jack Sullivan, an old soldier about 70 years old, committed suicide at Baldwin, by taking rough on rats. Drink and despondency. . The extreme heat of the past week, followed by the severe storms have done great damage to the fruit and crops in the southwestern Michigan. The whole orchard of Oscar Wager, near Mt. Morris, one of the finest in Genesee county, is being cut down, on account of the ravages*of the canker worm. The 33d Michigan regiment at Camp Alger were issued its guns, 1,000 Springfield rifles, also shoes and socks and underwear, and is fully equipped for war. Prof. Jacob Reighard, of the U. of M., will direct the important work of a biological examination of Lake Erie, nnrf-v t.hn nnr.pi™>s nf ihn \11 H fish commission. The Soo was visited by another disastrous fire when the Gabriel block and the store building of A. U. Roach, were destroyed. The total is about $25,000; partially insured. Michigan will have at least one more full regiment before the enlistment of volunteers under the second call is completed. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin has assured Michigan representatives that after all the Michigan regiments now in service are recruited up to their full capacity the war department would then accept another full regiment from the state, even if the total thus reached exceeds the state's quota. It is now as good as settled that Brig.-Gen. Duffield's command will consist of the 33d and 34th Michigan and Seventh Ohio regiments. The latter is substituted for the Ninth Massachusetts at the particular request of President McKinley. The Seventh Ohio is from the President's home town and this request is certainly a compliment to Gen. Dufticld and to the Michigan boys. It is quite certain that Gen. Duffield's brigade will l)e with the Porto Rico expedition. State Treasurer Steel is advertising a second issue of war loan bonds. Subscriptions will tie received until June 20, for $100,000 of 3 per cent bonds. The bonds will be dated July 1, and the interest will be payable semi-annually of each year, but the state may buy the bonds back at any time after May 1, 1903. The bonds will be in denominations of $100 and $1,000. The issue will be delivered to purchasers July 1, and the treasurer reserves the right to reject any bids. The Michigan crop report states that the average condition of wheatv June 10 was 98 per cent for the entire state, Wheat is rarely in better condition on that date than this year. The acreage planted to corn fully equals that of average years. The average condition is 96. The acreage sowed to oats is 92 per cent of average years, and the average condition is 96. The average condition of meadows and pastures is 96, and of clover sown this year, 95. Apples promise 95 per cent and the peaches 89 per cent of average crops. The outlook forapples is better, and for peaches but 3 per cent poorer than on May 1. Lieut.

SEVERAL AMERICANS KILLED. Guerillas Creep Through the Busk end Shoot the Pickets at Camp MeCalla, ea OojMtoemmo Bay—Marines Fight With Great Bravery. The invasion of Cuba by the American forces began when 800 marines pitched their tents about the smoking ruins of the outer fortifications of Guantanamo, and the stars and stripes forthe first time float from a Spanish flagstaff in Cuba. To Capt. Clark and the battleship Oregon belongs the honor of accomplishing the first successful landing of the war. Forty marines from the battleship went ashore and occupied the left entrance of the bay, until the troopship Panther arrived with 800 marines. These, under the command of Lieut.-Col. R. W. Huntington, arrived at 3 o'clock, and within half an hour they had burned the buildings of the Spanish camp and had set fire to the miserable little village which crouched on the beach under the hilltop of Guantanamo. Lieut.-Col. R. W. Huntington's battalion of marines, which landed from the transport Panther and encamped on the hill guarding the abandoned cable station at the entrance to the harbor of Guantanamo, was engaged in beating off a bush attack by Spanish guerrillas and regulars the second day and night after they lauded. The flghtlng was almost" continuous for=W hours, until 6 o'clock in the morning, when reinforcements were landed from the Murblehead. Four of our men were killed and one wounded and the advance pickets under Lieuts. Neville and Shaw are unaccounted for. Among the killed is Assistant Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, son of Maj. Gibbs, of the regular army, who fell in the Custer massacre. . He was a very popular officer. The others killed are Sergt. Charles H. Smith, Private Williain Dunphy, and Private James McColgan. Corporal Glass was accidentally wounded in the head. The Spanish loss is unknown but it was probably considerable. The splashes of blood found at daylight at the positions the Spaniard* occupied indicate fatalities, but their comrades carried off the killed and wounded. The Spanish horribly mutilated three of the dead marines who were shot while on picket duty. The Fighting Continued. Later reports from Camp MeCalla, dues are encamped, say that shortly after rday light Lieuts. Shaw and Neville with 30 men of Cj. D, who had been doing advance picket duty for 18 hours, returned to camp safely. About 9 a. m. the Spaniards attacked the camp at a mile range, but they were soon driven into the bush. Desultory firing continued throughout the day and several of the"marines were wounded. It is known at least 10 Spaniard were killed. The battleship Texas arrived at Guantanamo bay and sent ashore 40 marines and two automatic Colt guns as reinforcements. The Marblehead also sent an additional small detachment. It was decided by Lieut.-Col. Huntington to abandon the position first occupied as a camp, as it was known that a force of Spaniards six times more numerous than the marine battalion was in the vicinity. Therefore the crest of the hill was given up to batteries and rifle pits and the tents were pitched on the side of the hill near the harbor, which is protected by the warships. Lieut. Neville, was sent out on scout duty as on the day previous, and he attacked a small stone fort. A hot fight followed and the Spaniards were driven off with loss. During the fight Privates Wallace and Tauman fell over the cliff. The latter was instantly killed and Wallace had one leg fractured. Fifteen dead Spaniards, including one lieutenant, were foumr> in the fort. During the attack several shots struck the ships in the harbor, one penetrating the pilothouse of the Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy, but no one was injured. When night had again settled down the Spaniards again crept forward through the bush like Indians and made the pickets on the crest of the hill their especial targets. The marines bravely stood their ground and, supported by the warships in the bay, poured a constant fire into the surrounding bush. The Spaniards began firing at 8 o'clock and the last shot was fired by them at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and during the fighting Sergt.-Maj. Goode, of the marines, was shot through the right breast and instantly killed, and six others were wpjyaded. _ Thus far the marines have had the best of the contest but the situation is grave and they are exhausted with repelling almost constant attacks. They have little chance to rest aleep. Were it not for the protecting guns ©i "the war vessels the frail ant little bond would be annihilated. ' Estimates vary as t o the Spaaiah attacking force, and the figures run as high a>s 3.000.' Porto llieo HUH Ne*t JPotat of lavas too. Muj.-Gen. John J. Coppinger is in Command of the troops left a t Tampa, and it is believed will command1 the next expedition to sail, the destination of which will be Porto Rico. The war department is proceeding with the utmost expedition to prepare the Porto Rican army of invasion to start for San Juan as soon as some of the transports and their convoys of warships, which have gone to Santiago, shall return. The nucleus of the Porto Rico army, already assembled at Tampa and Jaofcponvllle, will be the regiments which were detached from the Santiago expedition. * It will be necessary to utilize some of the transports ships which have been engaged in the Santiago expedition, as the 15 ships now remaining at Tampa are not sufficient to carry the troops who am to form the Porto Rican army of invasion. Either the same warships that are now doing convoy duty will be called back to take the transports to Porto Rico, or they will relieve some vessels on the Havana blockade, which will be assigned to perform that service. By the time Gen. Coppinger is ready to start it is expected that ample supplies necessary for a campaign in the tropics will have been issued to him. He will go prepared to make a long stay in Porto Rico. Even if an armistice should be negotiated with Spain w'thin the next 30 to 60 days it would be necessary to retain the army in Porto Rico for some time thereafter. The operations against Porto Rico will not depend upon what is to occur at Santiago. British Steamer Taken With gpaoUh Coal The Jiritish steamer Twickenham, with 3>200 tons of coal for the Spanish ftectrh as b ectrgaptured by tlte au x i-1-- iary cruiser St. Louis and sent to Key West as a prize. The captured collier is a London steamer which went first to Martinique a month ago expecting to effect a junction with Admiral Cervcra's squadron at that island, but arrived too late. Word was sent to Admiral Sampson a few days ago that the Twickenham had left Martinique, and the St. Louis was immediately dispatched to intercept her. The St. Louis succeeded in meeting the Britisher off the coast of the coast of Jamaica,, on her northward course toward Guantanamo, where she hoped to be able to find some means of getting her coal to Admiral Cervera's ships in the harbor of Santiago. Coming into close range, the St. Louis surprised the collier by sending a shot across her bows. The Twickenham instead of stopping put on full steam and tried to get away. Quickly overhauling the Englishman, the St. Louis fired again. The captain of the collier, seeing flight was impossible, hove to and was boarded bv a boat's 'crew from the St. Louis. (iermitHr Threatens to Interfere. A Paris cable says that the communications exchanged by high officials at Madrid, Vienna and Berlin, do not treat directly of 3peace, but that "an important view of the situation may arise out of Germany's hostility to the development of American intervention in the Philippine islands." In connection with the reported intention of the United States to occupy -Ladrone and Caroline islands, it is pointed out that "Germany has long desired Ponape as a coaling station.'" As the Spanish cabinet does not consider the moment arrived to discuss peace, "the war party and the press interpret the international pour parleurs as an indication of an understanding and a combination possibly leading to European co-operation against the United States."* Blanco Short of SappUe*. Madrid: Gen. Blanco having again telegraphed that in case the blockade becomes stricter it will be urgeat to send war stores, as his supply is running short, the government has taken steps to dispatch abundant supplies by fast vessels from Spanish and foreign ports. The more important supplies from Spain will be strongly convoyed and will be sent immediately. N O T E S ON THE WAR SITUATION After Mfriiy Delays the Transports Start for Cuba. 15,337 MEN MOSTLY REGULARS ports on the Way to Santiago—jOnly Two Rojrluieat* of Infantry Volurteer «—Roosevelt'* Rough Rider*. A good deal of surprise is being expressed at Washington that the insurgent forces did not give the United States marines any assistance at Guantanamo. No mention was made of them in the dispatches, although it was supposed that they would be on hand to offer effective aid. Pay day among the regulars at Tampa proved to be a day of riot. Colored soldiers went on a rampage, entered saloons and houses of ill fame, smashed windows and furniture and injured several persons. A large provost guard finally restored order and arrested nearly 50 of the drunken soldiers. A proclamation issued by Aguinaldo, leader of the Philippine insurgents, prohibits any attempts at peace negotiations with the Spaniards and declares any Spaniards parleying without a flag of trace will be shot as spies. The United States government, he says, is coming to aid them and free them from tyranny, considering them capable of self-government as a civilised people. To'retain the good offices, of that great nation, they must abstain from aobbery and plunder and the violation of persons and property. Delay after delay < In starting the transports with U. S. troops from Port Tampa for Cuba had caused so many disappointments that the troops scarcely believed they were going when they hud really started. They had been aboard the transports several days with all arms, ammunition and supplies, but each r'ay had brought forth a further delay, and only the day before the expedition actually sailed Maj.-Gen. Shafter and his staff had boarded the transport Seguranca and given orders to hoist anchors, when a dispatch was received from Washington saying "Delay expedition until further orders." Two of the transports had already started, however, and it required a hot u £ s e on the part of dispatch boat Caa' ie to overtake them with orders to re. urn. It was learned later that plans had not been fully completed for warships to convoy the transports. This was arranged after a lengthy conference between the war and navy officials at Washington and the first expedition sailed the next day at daylight. Maj.-Gen. Shafter, who commands this expedition, has with him a force of TTa-offloereand 14,564 enlisted men- The U. S. regular troops make up the greater part of the force, there being but three volunteer organizations on the ships. These are the 71st New York infantry volunteers, the Second Massachusetts infantry volunteers and two dismounted squadrons of four troops each, from the First U. 8. volunteer cavalry, the regiment which Col. Wood commands and of which Theodore Roosevelt is a lieutenantcolonel. It was difficult to prevail upon the mounted rifllemen to leave their mounts behind, but this was a matter of necessity, it is said, owing to the lack of accommadations for the horses on shipboard. The full list of the troops that make up this expedition as reported to the war department by Gen. Shafter, is as follows: Infantry* regiment — First, Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, 10th, 12th, 13th, IGth, 17th, 20th. 21st. 22d, 24th, 2f>th, all U. S, regulars; 71st New York volunteers, Second Massarhmsftt. H ro\pnteera—Total infantry. 5fll officers and 10,709 enlisted men. ~~ Cavalry—Two dismounted sqaadrons of four troops each from the Third, Sixth, Ninth, First and 10th cavalry, and two dismounted squadrons*©* four troops each from the First U. S. volunteer eavalry. Total dismounted cavalry, 159 officers, 2.875 enlisted men; mounted cavalry, one squadron of the Seeond. 9 officers and 280 enlisted men. Artillery—Light batteries E and K, First artillery; A and F, Seeond artillery, 14 officers and 323 enlisted men; batteries G and Hr Fourth heavy seige artilleryr 4 officers and 133 enlisted men. Engineers—Cos. C and E, 9 offieers and 200 enlisted men. Signal corps—One detachment,- 2 officers and 45 enlisted men. Aside from the men and officers making up the expedition the boats carried a vast quantity of supplies, ammunition and war equipments, necessary to maintain an organization of this size for at least GO days. Every detail for the landing of this party has been worked out by the engineer corps of the army. It will be a laborious pro- - cess at best, and will take a full day or more. The point of landing has been so chosen that there is little danger of an interruption from the Spanish forces, but should they attempt* to make- trouble. - Admiral Sampson's ships will insure ample protection until the troops can care for themselves. The expedition should arrive off Santiago within- five days at the latest, barring storms or accident, and the landing probably will take place on the afternoon of the day of arrival or the day following, as Admiral Sampson is extremely anxious to reinforce the small body of marines now ashore at Guantanamo bay. Capt. Taylor, of the battleship Indiana, was in command of the naval convoy flee€*which accompanied the transport ships. The make-up of the convoy fleet is still withheld by the navy department. Besides the Indiana, one other battleship and a first-olass cruiser accompanied the fleet The other ships are lesser cruisers, gunboats and auxiliary craft. Five of the war vessels first went to Port Tampa while 11 remained off Key West. When the Ave warshipsand the 32 transport* reached Key West they were jo\ned by the 11 others and the combined fleet of 48 vessels made a magnificent spectacle as they sailed to carry freedom's banner to the oppressed "Gem of'-'&e Antilles.* The procession was several miles in length.

A great deal of this ice is put up by the company in its own ice houses, but as the past winter has been so warm a very large proportion will have to be purchased.

A Brave Coward By Robert Louis Stevenson. CHAPTER TV. This waa my wife's story, aa I draw it. from her among tears and aobs. Her name waa Clara Huddleatone; it sounded very beautiful In my ears, but not ao beautiful aa that other nume of Clara Cassilis, which she wore during the longer and, I, thank God, the happier portion of her life. Her father, Dernurd Huddleatone, had been a private banker in a very large way of business. Many years before, his affairs becoming disordered, he had been led to try dangerous, and at last, criminal, expedients to retrieve himself from ruin. All was in vain; he became more and more, cruelly involved, and found his honor lost at the same moment with his fortune. About this period Northmour had been courting his daughter with great assiduity, though with small encouragement, and to him, knowing him thus disposed In his favor, Bernard Huddlestone turned for help in his extremity. It was not merely ruin and dishonor, nor merely a legal condemnation, that the unhappy man had brought on his head, it seems he could have gone to prison with a light heart. What he feared—what kept him awake at night or recalled him from slumber into frenzy—was some secret, sudden and unlawful attempt upon his life. Hence, he desired to bury his existence and escape to one of the islands la ih& South—Pae4g€y=--»ad---H^--^^was in- Northmour's yacht, the Red Earl, that he designed to go. The yacht picked them up clandestinely upon the coast of Wales, and had once more deposited them at Graden, till she could be refitted and provisioned for the longer voyage. Nor could Clara doubt that her hand had been stipulated as the price of passe ge. For, although Northmour was neither unkind nor discourteous, he had shown himself in several instances somewhat overbold in speech and manner. I listened, I need not say, with fixed attention, and put many questions as to the more mysterious part. It was in vain. She had no clear idea of what the blow was, nor of how it was expected to fall. Her father's alarm was unfeigned and physically prostrating, and he had thought more than once of making an unconditional surrender to the police. But the scheme was finally abandoned, for he was convinced that not even the strength of our English prisons could shelter him from his pursuers. H P h»r? had m a n y affairs With I t a l y , As unkindncss has no remedy at law let avoidance be with you u pjiut of honor. AjrarCa* and with Italians resident in London, in the later years of his business; and these last, as Clara fancied, were somehow connected with the doom that threatened him. He had shown great terror at the presence of an Italian seaman on board the Red Earl, and had bitterly and repeatedly accused j Northmour in consequence. The lat- | ter had protested that Beppo (that was i the seaman's name) was a capital fellow, and could be trusted to the death: but Mr. Huddlestone had continued 1 ever since to declare that all was lost, that it was only a question of days, and that Beppo would be the ruin of him yet. I regarded the whole story as the hallucination of a mind shaken by calamity. He had suffered heavy loss by his Italian transactions; and hence the sight of an Italian was hateful to him, and the principal part in his nightmare would naturally enough be played by one of that nation. In short, and from one thing to another, it waa agreed between us that I should set out at once for the fisher village, Graden Wester, as it was called, look up all the newspapers I could find, and see for myself if there seemed any basis of fact for these continued alarnjs. The village is one of the bleakest on that coast, which is saying much; there is a church in a hollow, a miserable haven in the rocks, where many boats have been lost as they returned from fishing; two or three score of atone houses arranged along the beach and in two streets, one leading from the harbor, and another striking oui from it at right angles; and at the corner of these two, a very dark and theerlesa tavern, by way of. principal hotel. _ I bad dressed myself somewhat more j suitably to my station in life, and at o»ice called upon the minister in his | little manse beside the grave yard. He | knew me, although it was more than nine yeara alnce wa had met; and when I told him that I had been long upon a walking tour, and waa behind with the B*wa. readily lent me an armfcri of 4hewapap«ra, dating from a month back to tha day bafora. With tneaa I aeaght tha tavern, and. ordering aome arwaktaat. ant down to atudy the "Hodilaetosn FmUaM." R ha4 keen, K t^pamraC a vary fft- . mi erne in nawtieular had blown out his brains aa soon as payment waa suspended. It waa strange to myself that, while I read these details, I continued rather to sympathize with Mr, Huddlestone than with his victims, ao complete already waa the empire of my love for nay wjfe. A price was naturally set upon the banker's head, and, aa the case was inexcusable and the public indignation thoroughly aroused, the unus'ial figure of £750 was offered for hie capture. He was reported to have large sums of money in his possession. One day he had been heard of in Spain, the next there was sure intelligence that he was still lurking between Manchester and Liverpool, or along the border of Wales, and the day after a telegram would announce his arrival in Cuba or Yucatan. But in ail this there was no word of an Italian nor any sign of mystery. In the very last paper, however, there was one item not so clear. The accountants who were charged to verify the failure had, it seemed, come upon the traces of a very large number of thousands which figured for some time in the transactions of the house of Huddlestone, but which camo from nowhere and disappeared in the same mysterious fashion. It was only once referred to by name, and then under the initials "X. X.," but it had plainly been floated for the first time into the baateesa at a-period of great deprca» slon some six years ago. The name of a distinguished royal personage had been mentioned by rumor in connection with this sum. "The cowardly desperado"—such, I remember, was the editorial expression—was-supposed to have escaped with a large part of this mysterious fund still in his possession. I was still brooding over the fact, and trying to torture it into aome connection with Mr. Huddlestone's danger, when a man entered the tavern and asked for some bread and cheese with a decided foreign accent. "Siete Itallano?" said I. "Si, signor," ,waa the reply. I said it was unusually far north to find one of his compatriots; at which he shrugged his shoulders, and replied that a man would go anywhere to find work. Even as he was speaking, I raised my eyes, and, casting a glance Into the street, beheld three men in earnest conversation together, and not thirty yards away. It was already drawing toward the close of the day before I had returnprf fhp npwgpapprs at the manse, and got well forward on to the links on my way home. I shall never forget that walk. It grew very cold and boisterous; the wind sang in the short grass about my feet; thin rain showers came running on the gusts; and an immense mountain range of clouds began to arise out of the bosom of the sea. The sun was about setting; the tide was low, and all the quicksands uncovered; and I was moving along, lost in unpleasant thought, when I was suddenly thunderstruck to perceive the prints of human feet. Step by step I followed the prints until, a quarter of a mile further, I beheld them die away into the southeastern boundary of Graden Floe. There, whoever he was, the miserable man had perished. One or two gulls, who had perhaps seen him disappear, wheeled over his sepulcher with their usual melancholy piping. The sun had broken through the clouds by a last effort, and colored the wide level of quicksands with a dusky purple. I stood for some time gazing at the spot, chilled and disheartened by my own reflections, and with a strong and commanding consciousness of death. I remember wondering how long the tragedy had to\en, and whether hta screams had been audible at the pavilion. And then, making a strong resolution, I was abomt to tear myself away when a gust fiercer than usual fell upon this quarter of the beach, and I saT.v. now whirling high in air, now slamming lightly across the surface of the sands, a soft, black felt hat, somewhat conical in shape, such as I nnd rsna^^ed already on the hcails of the Italians. I le!ie\e, but I am not sure, that I uttered a cry. The wind was driving the hat. shoreward, and 1 ran round the border of the floe to be ready against its arrival. The gust fell, dropping the hat for a while upon the quicksand, and then, once more freshening, landed it a few yaids from where I stood. I seized it with the Interest you may imagine. It had seen some service; indeed, it was metier than either of those 1 had seen that day upon the street. The lining waa red, atamped with tha name of the Banker, which I have forgotten, and that of the place of manufacture, Venedag. T a b (it 4a not yat forgotten) waa the naan* given by the Anatrtana te the a a—tHH Cttjr of and for long after, a part of their 60V mlniona. Tha ehock waa complete. I aaw imaginary l u l l ana upon every aidef ELd for the first, and. I may ity* for tha fast time In my experience, became overpowered by what la called panie terror. I knew nothing, that ia, to be afraid of, and yet I admit that I was heartily afraid; and It was with a sen* elbJe reluctance that I returned t o my exposed and solitary camp in the Sea wood. There I ate aome cold porridge which had been left over from the night before, for I waa disinclined to make a fire, and feeling strengthened and reassured, dismissed all these fanciful terrora from my mind, and lay down to sleep. How long I may have slept it la impossible for me to gueaa, but I was nwakened at last by a sudden, blinding flash -it light into my face. It woke me like a blow. In an instant I waa upon my knees. But the light had gone aa suddenly as it came. The darkness was intense. And, aa it was blowing great guns from the aea and pouring with rain, the noises or tha storm effectually concealed all others. My fears were immediately diyerted from myself, for I saw that I had been visited in a mistake; and I became persuaded that some dreadful ) danger threatened the pavilion. It required some nerve to issue forth into the black and intricate thicket which surrounded and overhung the den; but I groped my way to the links, drenched with rain, beaten upon and deafened by the gusts, and fearing at every step to lay my hand upon come lurking adversary. For the rest of the night, which seemed interminably long, I patroled the vicinity of=the=pavilitm, ^wrthont— seeing a living creature or hearing any noise but the concert of the wind, the sea and the rain. A light in the upper story filtered through a cranny in the shutter, and kept me company till the approach of dawn. CHAPTER V. With the first peep of day I retired from the open air to my old lair among the sandhills, there to await the coming of my wife. The morning was gray, wild and melancholy; the wind moderated before sunrise, and then went about and blew in puffs from the shore; the sea began to go down, but the rain still fell without mercy. Over all the wilderness of links there was not a creature to be see. Yet I felt sure the neighborhood was &Mv* with skulking foes. The light had been so suddenly and surprisingly flashed upon my face as I lay sleeping, and the hat that had been blown ashore by the wind from over Graden Floe, were two speaking signals of the perils that environed Clara an4 t**e party in the pavilion. It was perhaps half-past 7, or nearer 3. before I aaw the door open and that dear figure come toward me in the rain. I was waiting for her on the beach before she had crossed the sandhills. "1 have had such trouble to come!" she cried, "They did not wish me to go walking in the rain." "Clara," I said; "you are not frightened?" "No," said she, with a simplicity that filled my heart with 'confidence. For my wife waa the bravest, as well as.the best of women; in my experience I have not found the two go always together, but with her they did; and she combined the extreme of fortitude with the most endearing and beautiful virtues. I told her what had happened and, though her cheek grew visibly paler, she retained perfect control over her senses. "You see now that I am safe, said I in conclusion. "They do not mean to harm me; for, had they chosen, I was a dead man last night." She laid her hand upon my arm. "And I had no presentiment!" she cried. Her accent thrilled me with delight. I put my arm about her and strained her to my aide, and, before either of rut was aware, her hands were on my shoulders and my lips upon her month. We may have thus stood for aome seconds—for time paasea quickly with lovers—before we were startled by a peal of laughter close at hand. It was not natural mirth, but seemed to be affected in order to conceal an angrier feeling. We both turned, thongh I still kept my left arm about Clara's waist; nor did she seek to withdraw herself; and there, a few paces off upon the beach, stood Northmourv his head lowered, his hands behind his back, his nostrils white with passion. "Ah. Cassilis!" he said aa I disclosed my face. "That aame," aaid I, for I was not sv all put s h o u t "And ao, Mine Huddlestone," he continued alowiy hut envagely, "this la how you keep yonr faith to year father sad to ass? llala ia the sshas yon net upon year father's life!

Possibly genoua to all Spani.-h coluulcipnnd with our milder away we may be able to prevent these, if, Indeed, we do not repeat our experience of civilian attempts to control the American Indians. Some of the Inhabitants of these tropical islands are as wild as we can well imagine; other would be peaceable enough under an Intelligent administration, supposed to amount to more than 10,000 Jo 15*000. There are 40*000 Chinese |n Manila alone and large numbers of Mestizos, a cross between the Europeans and natives. The pure natives who compose the bulk of the population are Malays, which are divided into two great strains, the Tagais and Blaayans. They Inhabit the interior^and aro agricultural and half-clvllized. Then there are the Tingaranes of Japanese origin, the Tagaloe half-breed descendants of the Malay rajahs and warriors who ruled In Luzon before the coming of the Spaniards. Finally we have the Gorrators, who aro a cross of the natives and the followers of the Chinese pirate Liraahon, who Invaded Luzon in 1574, and on the failure of their attack took refuge in the forests of the interior. There are also remains of the aborlginnl NegrltoB, a race of dwarfish blacks, who are gradully dying out. In any scheme of invasion and occupation the idiosyncrasies and capacity for though we shall have an abundance of offense and defense of all this superstitious beliefs and class prejudlc- mass of people must be considered, and When a girl talks a great deal about her home duties, Investigate, and you will find that they consist in turning a bed over and frying an egg. It is a wise youth who kisses his sweetheart good-bye every chance he gets, because the examining doctor may refuse to accept him when the time comes. During our late war Robert Toombs, !f we remember Tightly, declared that the south would welcome northerners into the confederacy with bloody hands to hospitable graves. It was a cruel declaration, and It seems strange now that it was uttered by a brother with regard to brothers; but war is war. But if Weyler gets back Into Cuba the Cubans will probably translate it into Spanish, and it will seem quite pleasant and commendable. The captain of a Spanish vessel at Manila who wanted the fight postponed until he could get some ammunition was treated with great severity by Commo-* dore Dewey. The courtesy waB brutally refused, and presently the poor fellow excused hlm-^lf and went down with his crew. We learn from this bow cruel war is. It destroys all manner of politeness, and substitutes death for the amenities. And yet Commodore Dewey, so far from being dropped from the service, is promoted. No wonder the Evening Post howls. Young John C. Fremont, who recently acted as a pathfinder in Cuba of a dark night, recalls the romantic campaign nt tltty-n\r, when hlg father was the first national candidate of the brand-new Republican party. Colonel Fremont had run away with and married Jessie, daughter of Senator Thos. H. Benton, otherwise known as Old Bullion; and the lady accompanied him on one of his expeditions overland to California. One battle-cry of the campaign was "Fremont and Jessie," and it was frequently remarked by Republicans, "We'll give 'em Jessie.'' And, on the whole, If those of our women who want to fight are serioua, it might be well to let 'em do it. British foreign-trade returns are not as satisfactory as those of our own country, and English Journals commenting on this fact do not hesitate to say that the lack of demand from this country is being seriously noticed. The export trade of the United Kingdom in March this year was valued at £20,834,- 000, a decrease of 3.75 per cent, from March a year ago. For the first three months of the present year the exports were more than £1^500,000 smaller thai in 1897 and £3,6WfcpW*maller than 1896. The import trade, on the oth4r hand, shows an Increase, the higher price of cereals being a not unimportant factor in this latter result The total Imports for the first quarter aggregate £119.099,000, an increase of £ 1,- 400.000 as compared with last year, said to have been due almost entirely to the higher price of wheat and flour imports. According to latest mail summaries, which are not refuted by later cables, there is not a country in Europe that does not hold out the prospect of a food wheat return, says San Francisco Commercial.News. In England farmers feel confident, and in France a very large and early yield is looked for. All the entailer producers make favorable reports, and even Russia, regarding which so many adverse reports and •utmlees have been industriously and persistently launched, comes to the fore with a prospect that is particularly discouraging to the extremists, who have all along drawn and insisted upon the least favorable conclusions.

Let us consider the characteristics of this furthermost outpost of the American army, which, having conquered in the past a highway across our broad continent to the Pacific, is now, with the help of our noble navy, to establish Itself some 7,000 miles still farther to the west. Of present greatness and with magnWcent possibilities for, the future, the Philippine archipelago is not in all respects desirable as a place of residence. Among its prominent characteristics are earthquakes and revolutions. The earthquakes are indigenous to the locality and present a record for a single year of forty-one upheavals, including one volcanic eruption. These earthquakes were spread over a large area, and no one locality had any large number in the year refeired to. An earthquake Is due about once in ten days, and sometimes there are a dozen small earthquakes a day for a week at a .time. Two thousand persons were killed on Luzon island in 1884 by falling timbers and walls, and the loss of life in the great earthquake in 1860 in Negros island was estimated at 7,000. Almost every structure was shaken down and great gaps, yards wide and miles long, were cracked across the island. Hurricanes, too, are not uncommon and the one of Jan. 30, 1875, prostrated 8,800 houses in the southern part of Luzon and killed 250 people. Revolutions may be considered indies to deal with, such as the uncompromising American spirit does not readily adapt itself to. We shall be more alien to the natives in some respects even than the Spaniards, for in process of time they have succeeded in converting large numbers of the docile natives to their religious views and the Spanish priests, who have mastered the native languages, are a powerful influence, in spite of the animosities their rule has aroused, and the results of which are shown In seventeen considerable rebellions in the last sixty years. In 1876 the native insurgents lost 5.000 of their best men. In 1882 several thousand more men and 600 of their leaders were beheaded and shot to death In squads at the garrisons at Cavite. The present rebellion broke out last June and was quelled for a time by Spanish troops. Last January 100 rebels were shot In the suburbs of Manila. Suddenly the rebellion broke out again and now it seems to be the most general revolt yet known In the ialands. There are reported to be 10,000 Spanish regulars on guard in the islands. The Insurgents last fall numbered about 46,000, of whom 5,000 were armed with good guns. Luzon, the largest island In the Philippine archipelago, has a population of 4,500,000 and the.capital, Manila, situated thereon, had a population in 1894 of 290,000. The populations of the other greater.islands are about as follows: Panay, 277,000; Cibu, 203,000; Leyte, 226,000; Negros, 205,000; Mindanao, 190,000; and Samar, 179,000. The most important island after Luzon is Panay, which Is divided Into three provinces, the greatest of which Is Iloilo, with a population of 41,000. The purely European element of all this—exclusive of the troops—is not it should be well understood tljat although a large part of It is semt-civllized it has been too long In contact with the white race not to understand its own inherent physical power. A very considerable proportion of it is half-breed or with a good infusion of European blood, and from it has been drawn the insurgent forces. Luzon, in The outlet of Bay lake Is the River Pasig, on which i s situated Manila, with Its tnagntttent^bn^ UO'miles la clrcumierenoe; On one bank of the rtyer are the Spanish and military quarters, bounded on the one«slde by the sea and i n the other by a great plain, where tho troops are exofelsed and which la the resort of Manila iaahion during the cool of the evening In the suburb or Badougo, across the river, are domiciled the foreigners and the ^alf-breeds, some of whom are rich enough to. find entrance iRtp.the, e l u s i v e , Sjjaplsh society*. Travelers dwell upon-the beau* ty of the half-breed woman, and they appear to have, mad* a complete conquest of the sensitive -hearts of the middles of the navy wlio visited Manila a quarter of a century ago and.whose experiences were recorded by one of their number in Scrlbne.r's Magazine for August, 1875. This particular middy tells us of his fascinating experience* in making love In Spanish—experiences, wo f^ar, not likely to be repeated by the officers of Admiral Dewey's squadron, for the present, at least, though certainly "the brave deserve tho fair." For an Island lying so near to the equator the climate of Manila is very temperate, the power of the tropical sun being In a measure moderated by the moist atmosphere, the mountains and the Immense forests that cover so largo a portion of the island. Violent ralna aro common from June to November and disastrous Inundations are the result. Sir^John Browning records the maximum fall of rain at Manila as 114 Inches in 1858. The average of rainy days recorded for the years 1881, 1882 and 1883 was 203. The temperature varies but slightly—its average In Luzon Is 81 degrees. On this Island numerous limpid streams flow from the mountains through the plain into Bay lake, -refreshingthe vegetation by the way and furnishing luxurious pasturage for great herds of cattle. Within Bay lake Is another circular lake a league In circumference, surrounded by a ring of high land. In this smaller lake water fowl abound. Boiling springs are found at Los Banos at the foot of a tall mountain. The little gunboat Petrel, of Admiral Dewey's squadron, Is the pride of the fleet. During the great naval fight at Manila, In which the Spanish fleet was THE PETREL. which Manila Is situated, has an exteat of 4C0 miles from north to south and varies in width from 25 to 150 miles. In the southern part of Luzon Is the great lake of Bay, and north of this extend two mountain ranges, one following the east coast and the other the west coast. Between these hills flows the swift current of the great River Tajo. Q9VKMMM Of THMTWTBXX+ annihilated by the American warships, the little Petrel, which, compared to the Olympia and Boston, looks liko a tug boat, took one tftnhe most active parts. Although the Petrel had no special assignment in the engagement, she made a record of which her officers are very, proud. Throughout the entire engagement the little Petrel darted here and there, pouring a steady stream of shots from her rapid-fire: gun^B and then darting out of the way of-the big guns of the foe. Owing to her light draught, she ventured much nearer the enemy than her heavier companions, and frequently at 1,000 yards range she. was seen firing on the heavy Spanish warships. When the Spanish flag on the arsenal "taff was hauled down, Admiral Dewey signaled the Petrel to enter the, inner harbor and d«stroy the Spanish war -easels there, She did her work quicky and efficiently.

HOSM Adopts the Annexation Resolution* —Will Pas* tb« tenatfu By a vote of 2C0 to 01 the House of Represenativea adopted the Newlands resolutions, providing for the annexation of Hawaii. The debate, which continued without interruption for four days was one of the most notable of this congress, the proposed annexation being considered of great commercial and strategic importance by its advocates and being looked upon by its opponents as involving a radical departure from t h e long-established policy of the country and likely to be followed by the inauguration of a pronounced policy of colonization, the abandonment of the Monroe doctrine and participation in international wrangles. More than 50 members participated in the debate. From a party standpoint the result was awaited with the keenest Interest. The Republicans presented practically a unanimous support to the resolutions, but three Republican members voting in opposition. In the Democratic rank the division upon the question was more marked, 18 Democratic members voting for ann e x i o n . The vote in support of the resolutions was made up of 179 Republicans, 18 Democrats, eight Populists and four fusionists; the vote against annexation comprised 77 Democrats, three Republicans, seven Populists and four fusionists. The lost day of the debate the discussion continued seven hours. Notable speeches were made by Messrs. W. A. Smith (Rep., Mich.), Berry (Dem., Ky.) and Hepburn (Rep., la.), for and by Messrs. Johnson (Rep., iDd.) and Williams (Dem., Miss.), against the pending measure. Prior to announcing the vote, Mr. Dalzell, who in the absence of Mr. Reed, was presiding, saich »'The speaker- of t h e House is absent on account of illness, I am requested by him to say that, were he present, on this proposition, he would vote 'no.'" The announcement was applauded by the opposition to annexation. Mr. Dalzell then announced the vote: Yeas, 209; nays, 91; present, 5, as follows: The resolutions adopted, in a preamable relate the offer of the Hawaiian republic to cede all of its sovereignty and absolute title to the government and crown lands, and then by resolution accept the cession and declare the islands annexed. The resolutions provide for a commission of five, two of whom shall be resident Hawaiians. to recommend to congress such legislation as they may deem advisable. The public debt of Hawaii, not to exceed $4,000,000, is assumed, Chinese immigration is prohibited, all treaties with other powers are declared null and it is provided that until congress shall provide for the government of the islands all civil, judicial and military powers now exercised by the officers of the existing government shall be exerciscd in such manner as to the President of the United States shall direct, and he is given power to appoint persons to put in effect a provisional government for the islands.

All individual subscriptions must be allotted first, and therefore subscriptions from corporations and associations other thaa individuals will only receive an allotment in the event that the individual subscriptions fall short of the 8200,000,000 which are at present offered.

She wai lrrealatlbly attracted by the poetry, of Alain, the monk, who waa absolutely repulsive . In appearance. Passing through one of the halls of the palace, she saw the poet sleeping on a bench; she approached and kissed him. Some of her attendants could not conceal their astonishment that she should kiss a man so ugly. The amiable prinoesa smiled and replied: "I did not kiss the man, but the mouth which uttered so many fine things." Does Baby Thrive? If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott's Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other Tood fails to nourTslTtliem. It is the same with larger children that are delicate, Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive.

And it might seem that such men have good reason to be envious because the young wheat king appears to be in good favor with Dame Fortune at the present time.

Chief among these are the cranks and curious individuals without number who have apparently come to the conclusion that Joseph Lelter must have a warm place In his heart for each and every one of them. Men and women with every kind of scheme throng his offices In the Board of Trade building and beseech him to aid them in enterprises ranging from putting a perpetual motion machine on the market to establishing a Theoaophlat mission among the Fijls. To all of these propositions Mr. Lelter usually turns a deaf ear, but last week he was the recipient of a request so unique in its character that he weakened and made an answer in the affirmative. He waa seated in his office at the time and as It was Just after luncheon he was In a very amiable frame of mind. A wellknown broker came into the private office and said after a brief apology for intruding: "Joe, I have a proposition that may strike you aa being rather odd, hut I am going to put it to you Just the same.

In the evening a magnificent banquet was greatly enjoyed at the Hotel Cadillac, with a number of suitable toasts, that by Judge Michael Brown, of Big Baplds, "The President of the United States," particularly pleasing the lawyers. At the second day's session a little more business was transacted, committees and officers reported, among Other things, that the membership had increased to 040. Officers were elected as follows: President, Thos. E. Barkworth, Jackson; vice-president, Bradley M. Thompson, Ann Arbor; secretary, Wm. S. Cobb, Jackson; treasurer, Charles B. Townsend, Jackson. The Only change in the board of directors was the substitution of A. 0. Baldwin, of Ppntiac, for John J. Carton, of Flint. The meeting ended with an excursion on the river. Wirt Young People Drowned. A terrible accident, involving the loss of five lives, occurred at Flushing, when a boat capsized containing four young people. All were drowned and a spectator, who endeavored to help them, also lost his life. The occupants were Chauncey A. Cook, aged 18, the Misses Luella and Odalina Loop, aged respectively 14 and 16, and Mildred Packard, aged 2. a niece of the two yOung ladies. The party had been out for some time, when through some carelessness in the handling of the boat it was capsized. All went into the water, and as none of them could swim they struggled helplessly about. At this juncture. Arthur Maxwell, a popular young clerk, came flying down to the beach on his bicycle. He quickly dismounted and plunged headlong into the river. He was a good swimmer, but had not proceeded half way to the unfortunates when he was seized with cramps, and with scarcely time to cry out .sank and never again came to the surface. Every member of the party was drowned except little Mildred. She was taken out alive, but expired in a short time. Maxwell's body was first recovered, and the others were soon afterward brought to the surface. * National Credit Hen at Detroit. The third annual convention of the National Association of Credit Men, was held at Detroit, calling together a goodly assembly of representative men from all parts of the country interested in making a uniform and firm basis for the founding of credits, reforming laws that are now unfavorable to an honest credit business, and securing legislation that will be helpful to the commercial interests of this country. The association was organized in Toledo two years ago, by representative credit men from the leading commercial interests and centers Of the country, and now it has. a membership of 2,332, which represents interested capital of over $600,- 000,000 and a volume of business of of over $1,800,000,000. Hon. Chas. G. Dawes, U. S. comptroller of the currency, made the leading speech of the convention. A reception was tendered the delegates and their ladies at the Hotel Cadillac. Michigan Boys to Reinforce Shafter. The- brigade commanded by Brig,- Gen. Henry M. DufBeld, ol Michigan, at Camp Alger has the honor of being the first expedition against the Spanish made up purely of volunteers. His brigade has sailed to Santiago to_ reinforce Gen. Shafter. The Yale and the Harvard carry this expedition, which will consist of about 4,000 volunteers Gen. Duffield's brigade consists 33d and 34th Michigan, Ninth shusetts and Third Virginia regiments. Owing to the fact that the Yale was not quite ready to sail Gen. Duffield's brigade was divided, and the aid Mipbigan and one battalion (the Marnuette, Houghton. Ionia-and Mt.

PINGREE AT CHICK AM AUGA. BUeulgttu't Governor Receives a Welcome at Camp Thomas. Gov. Pingree, accompanied by Inspector- General Case, quietly entered the camp of the 31st Michigan regiment at Chickamauga, just a day ahead of the time he was expected. It was the intention of Col. Gardener to meet the governor at the depot with an army wagon, drawn by four mules and have the band ready to welcome him upon his arrival at camp, but the first notice the regiment had of his arrival, was when he got out of an old carry-all, driven by a Negro, and was recognized by a sentinel at the guard house. The news spread quickly through the camp and every one turned out to give him a hearty welcome. The men had just returned from battalion drill, and they ran to greet him. They crowded around him to shake his hand until Capt, Baxter, officer of the day, had them form in two lines, and the governor passed between them, shaking hands as he passed. Cheer after cheer was given. His excellency was then conducted to Col. Gardener's tent, lie inspected the hospital and cook's teuts and after dinner accompanied Col. Gardener to call upon Maj.-Gen. Brooke, Brig.-Geu. Poland and Q.-M,- Gen. Lee. Gov. Pingree was visited later by officers and privates from regiments of other states and he was well pleased with the condition of affairs. A regimental drill was given in honor of the governor. • • • - The 35th Michigan Volunteer*. Having received positive assurunce that Michigan would be permilicilto furnish another regiment of volunteers under the Presidents second call, Gov. Pingree and the state military board went to work and by the time the formal order had been received from the war department the outline of the organization of the 35th Michigan volunteer regiment had been almost completed. Adjt.-Gen. E. M. Irish, of the Michigan National Guard, was chosen as colonel of the new regiment, partially in recognition of his services at Camp Eaton. Quartermaster-General Wm. F. White, of Grand Rapids, was named for lieutenant-colonel. Maj rs, Lieut. H. H. Bandholtz, Lansing; Geo. Corns, Detroit; third not decided upon; adjutant, E. S. Hoos, Kalamazoo; quartermaster, W. B. McDonald, Ionia; surgeon, with rank of major, Dr. O. P. Barber, Saginaw; assistant surgeons, with rank of lieutenant. Dr. H. A. Grube, Coldivater, and Dr. L. B. Sandell, Au, Sable. It was announced that the companies would be taken from districts not already represented^Companies will be drawn from the regions surrounding Alpena, Charlotte, Detroit, Wyandotte. Howell, Petoskey. Pontiac and Sanilac, and possibly from other communities. Then there will be one company of Sons of Veterans, who will probably be from all parts of the state. The officers will practically be picked out by Col. Irish. Men who may have been elected officers of independent companies will not stand any particular show. So far three captains have been practically settled upon. They i t vy W Y . 1-6,000 U. S. Troops Arrive Before the Beleaguered City, HOT FIGHTING IS EXPECTED. Admiral Hampton and Ms].-Gen.

The officers of the S. of V. company will probably be men who are prominent in that organization. Charlotte: The local military company recently organized by Sergt. Anness, of Ft. Wayne. Detroit, are in open revolt because of the action of the state military board in rejecting Anness as captain and appointing R. S. Lockton, a well-known politican of Marshall. Michigan Naval Reaerveg Loae a Kingston, Jamaica: The captain and officers of the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, which is manned by the Michigan Naval Reserves, feel foolish and are thoroughly vexed. - As the Yosemite approached Port Royal she passed a large steamer going out. No attempt was made to ascertain her name, but on arriving here the Yosemite's captain learned that it was the Spanish steamer Purisima Coneepcion. The Yosemite, with other American cruisers, had been especially warned about this Spaniard as she would be a rich prize. She is said to have $100,000 in gold on board. Her cargo of food and medicine is destined ultimately for Cienfuegos and Havana. Capt. Emery, who is an old navy officer, is responsible for the error of not stopping her. A dispatch from Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, announces the arrival there of the Spanish steamer Purisima Conception, with food and medicines for the Spanish troops and carrying, it is said, ¢100,000 in gold. Elevator Fire at Byron. The elevator and wool warehouse of F. E. Close & Co., at Byron, was totally destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $20,000; insurance $15,000. An Ann Arbor freight car loaded with beans also burned. The Yosemite has been sent to Cien fuegbs to intercept supplies being sent to Havana by way of the south coast of Cuba. E. R.

He held a scholarship at Harvard the past year, working exf-im' .---- i •v.ith^mati'."-. The United States army for the Invasion of Cuba, about 10,000 Btrong, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Shafter, arrived off Santiago de Cuba, after a six days' uneventful journey from Port, Tampa. The voyage throughout was tedious and uninteresting. The weather was excellent, and consequently there was little suffering from seasickness. But 14 cases of typhoid fever, and some measles developed, the former being especially ou the boats which carried horses and mules. Surgeons, however, say the health of the men is unexpectedly good. The heat and long confinement iu the holds of the transports have told very severelj' on the horses and mules, and many of them died. The first sight of laud was obtained in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba, and when the topmasts Of the, blockading ships were seen they sent a thrill of enthusiasm through the soldiers. When the fieet of 37 transports swept up the southern coast and slowed up within sight of the doomed city of Santiago de Cuba, the soldiers were greeted with ringing cheers, which faintly echoed to the transports from the decks of the blockading warships far inshore, and were answered by the troops most heartily. An order from the admiral stopped the advance of the transports about l.r» miles to the southeast, and, escorted by the Gloucester, Gen. Shafter went forward on the Seguranca to confer with the admiral. The transports lay on the smooth sea while the plans were discussed by the leaders on board the flagship. After Admiral Sampson and Gen. Shafter had finished their first consultation they boarded the Seguranca and went to Acerraderos. about 17 miles west of Santiago, and near which place Gen.-Cnlixito Garcia is encamped with 3.(>0(> Cuban soldiers- Gen. Shafter and his staff and Admiral Sampson wont ashmv and proceeded to Gen. Garcia's headquarters, about a mile inland, where they spent several hours in consultation with the Cuban general. At the conclusion of the conference lien. Shafter and other officers had little or nothing to say regarding the plans tivr landing the American troops or for the co-operation of the Uubans. Within ".'4 hours, however, the work of disembarkation had begun. Three thousand men, the vanguard of Gen. Shatter's force, first went ashore at the old iron pier that was built to expedite the shipping of Manganese ore from the mines to the northward. While the troops were passing ashore Admiral Sampson's lieet bombarded the forts both east and west of Santiago. A force of 1,000 Cubans seemed to spring out of the ground at just the proper moment and attack the Spaniards near Daiquiri. The Spaniards had prepared to meet a disembarkation to the west of Santiago, and also to the eastward, but at Baiquiri there was only a Spanish blockhouse on a high cliff to the right of the landing pier, and a small fort and earthworks in the rear. Proceedings were begun, by the American fleet, which strung out along the coast for 20 miles, hurling shells at nearly every fortress. The fortifications at Aguadzores, Cabanas, Siborney and Juragua, as well as the blockhouse and Prize. the fort near Baiquiri were bombarded. Dispatches direct from Shafter and Sampson said there was very little resistance from the Spaniards, The New Orleans, Detroit, Castine and Suwanee shelled the vicinity before the landing and a big demonstration was made at Cabanas to engage the attention of the enemy. The Texas engaged the west battery for some hours and had one man killed. Admiral Sampson's dispatch indicated that he was carrying out his instructions thoroughly to clear a way for the landing of troops. Tbe cable station through which the American commanders will communicate with the departments at Washington has been established, as shown by the dates of the dispatches received at Playa del Este, a small place directly on the coast and about 15 miles east of Santiago. The change was made from Camp McCalla to Playa del Eate in order that the station might be nearer the scene of action. Washington: In both army and navy circles the information contained in the dispatches of Gen. Shafter and Admiral Sampson was received with intense satisfaction. The landing of so large a body of troops as Gen. Shafter at present has under his command is a task of immense proportions. A prominent oflieial of the w a r department' said that the complete debarkation-of the troops, animals, field guoftandauj^- pjies within a week after their arrival off the, Cuban coast would be a task we^; accomplished.., It. is probable in t^ie^opinion of the officer reverted io,, that only a partial landing of tbe troops was effected the first day and that the landing will be continued from <!uv »,r» dav until completed. It CO GETTING tp y J ^5—H c Betimes to UxcTmnge the Merrlraac Heroes nud Fires on Flags of Truce. Washington: The following was received from Commodore Watson In onnynand of the Havana blockading squadron: "The captain - general (Blanco) states that the Spanish government refuses to exchange prisoners." Lieut. Hobson and his companions who sunk the Merrimac across the entrance to Santiago bay are the prisoners in question. A warship was sent under a flag of truce and tried to arrange for an exchange of prisoners, Gen. Blanco aent out a launch to meet the United States officer and his messenger stated that the governor-general wpuld not agree to any exchange. "The men are my prisoners, and I will keep them," said Blanco. "You will first have to capture Havana before getting them." Blanco also notified the American blockading fleet that he*will hereafter recognize no flag of truce, adding that every vessel within six miles' range will be fired upon, whether flying the stars and stripes or a white flag. Morro castle keeps tiring heavy shells at the blockading squadron, and it is not believed such accurate shots can be fired by Spanish gunners. I l l ISWWi >t)v * t i t * * J!

Aunon, on board; Alfonso Doce, Canndonga, Antouio Lopez, Isla Panos, Buenos and San Fran- While the Washington authorities have received no official news of the arrival of the American transports at Manila, j^here is no disposition to discredit the private reports of their reaching their destination with 3,000 soldiers to assist Admiral Dewey in taking the city. It is questioned whether with this force to back him Dewey will feel justified in assaulting Manila, or even accepting its surrender. Either course would involve heavy responsibilities for the admiral, and it is extremely desirable that no protext be afforded jealous European powers for intervention at Manila under guise of protecting the interests of their subjects. Therefore it may be that the admiral will wait for another 10 days until the second installment of troops reaches Cavite. In this case he probably will land the troops that arrive in the town of Cavite, which is now completely under the control of himself and the insurgents, and employ the time in accustoming them to Manila methods and climate. ciseo=have,left=Catiix^ Thefirst eleven, The l-a test ,d, isp_a tches from Admiral passed the Rock, bound for C a r t h a g e n a T 1 ^ ' ^ a n d ^ e r sourccyTiay t h a t ^ b e for orders; the last three have troops on board." Madrid: There are a number of rumors in circulation a*to the destination of Admiral Camura's fieet; one has it that the Spanish warships are now heading for Boston, Mass., with the intention of bombarding New England towns, and another report sets forth that the Spanish reserve fleet is going to the Philippines. The fleetr said to consist of over 20 vessels, is reported to have proceeded to . different destinations. It has an'enormous quantity of of war material on board, including a mysterious new explosive. Sampfton Secures a Cable. Washington: The war department has received information that its officials have secured an end of one of the cables running out from Cuba, and which, when properly connected, will give Admiral Sampson direct communication with the department at Washington. Later. — Direct communication hadbeen established between the United States and Guantapamo. Not only is Blanco cut off from the outside world, save through the Key West cables within our control, but the authorities in Washington have been placed in close connection with our forces at Santiago. To Gen. Greeley and his signal corps belongs the honor of achieving this last feat. Second Philippine Fleet Halls. The second expedition of U. S. troops has sailed from San Francisco to re-inforce Admiral Dewey at Manila. It consisted of 3,r>QQ soldiers on the steamers China, Colon, Zealandia and Senator. The troops were under the immediate command of Brig.-Gen. F. V. Greene and comprised the f o l l o w i n g First Colorado volunteer infantry; First Nebraska volunteer infantry; loth Pennsylvania volunteer infantrj'; two batteries Utah volunteer light artillery; 18th U. S. regulars; 23d U. S. regulars. The thirdo expedition will sail about July 1. NOTES ON T H E WAR SITUATION The Spanish reserve fleet is reported to have again returned to Cadiz. The war department will send 8.000 more troops to reinforce Maj.-Gen. Shafter at Santiago at once. During the recent bombardment oi Santiago's forts one of the 13-inch gunson the battleship Massachusetts was disabled by a shell from the forts. In spite of strong protests on tbe part of the colonels of the volunteer regiments at the front the war department insists on doing away with regimental hospital staffs and is creating division hospitals. Mrs J. Addison Porter, wife of President McKinley's private secretary, has joined the Red Cross society and gone to Key West as the assistant and adviser of Miss Clara Barton, the president of the society. Several Spaniards, among them a lieutenant, hare walked into Camp Mc- Calla on Guantanaino bay and surrendered in order t o .get something to eat. They say the Spanish soldiers about there are half-starved and would gladly surrender if they thought their JUvetf would be spared. After the defeat of the Spanish ait their base of operations near Camp Mc- Calla by the marines and Cubans, the* Oregon, Marblehead and Suwanee<uai*efully picked their way through the channel several miles above CatnpJVlc- Cafta and fired upon a large Spanish force at ilicacal point. A Cuban scouting party soon after fo,«r\d 48 dead Spaniard*. - insurgents are daily gaining victories over the Spaniards. They have captured 5,000 prisoners, including 3,000 regulars, the prominent generals, Garcia and Cordoba, and the governors of the provinces of Cavite, Balacan and Bataan. They have also captured 3,000,000 rounds of ammunition in the fortified cathedral at old Cavite, whose large garrison surrendered, giving the insurgents the entiie bay shore. They also captured on June 14, the town of Oalanga, the place next in importance to Manila on the bay, and now control the Manila waterworks. The insurgents o » land and the American squadron on the water completely surround Manila. All foreigners have fled to the ships- in. tbe harbor, while the Spaniards have placed the women, children and priests in the forts for safety. The family of Gov.-Gen. Augusti fled! to> the interior for safety. Owing to their lock of field guns, the insurgents are unable to take Manila, even if Admiral Dewey permitted, which he will not do. Gen. Nonet,.coming southward with 3,000 troops from Balacan. 30 miles north of Manila., found the railway line blocked and was attacked by insurgents in ambualu Fierce fighting ensued for three days, during which Nonet was killed. The native troops joined the insurgents and the Spaniards who were left,, about 500, surrendered. This.is but a sample of the victories won by the insurgents. Gen. Filipino, military leader of the insurgents, officially proclaimed a provisional government in old Cavite. There were great ceremonies, and a declaration of independence was read, renouncing Spanish authority. Gen. Aguinaldo was elected president. lie has informed U. S. Consul Williams of the formation of a provisional government, merely for cohesive purposes, and notified him of the desire *of the insurgents that the Philippine islands become an American colony, and also declaring that if this cannot be he will insist upon a republic being formed. If any otk*r country than the United states wants to secure possession of the Philippines it will have to fight for it. Tbe insurgents now have 10,500 rifles and eight field pieces. Some correspondents think that Aguinaldo will become intoxi ated by his success And will become intolerant of American control. TisV insurgents are, ho wcver, keeping their pledges to Admiral ttewey. A Madrid dispatch says: Capt.-Gen. Augusti telegraphs that he has gone into the walled city and that he will be unable to communicate further with the government. The belief 1B expressed in government circles that Capt.-Gen. Augusti will ask the foreign warships to land detachments to, occupy Manila, on the grotfnd that he ia no longer able to resist the insurgents, All the papers say the government is satisfied with the prospect of Capt.- Gen.

"Tell m e o n e thing," said I. "What are they after, these Italians? W h a t do they w a n t w i t h Mr. Huddlestone?" "Don't y o u k n o w ? " h e cried.

We were admitted t o t h e pavtlion b y Clara, and I w a s surprised by t h e completeness and security of t h e defenses. A barricade of great strength, and y e t easy to displace,. supported the door against a n y violence from without; and t h e shutters of the dining-room, Into which X w a s led directly, and which w a s feebly illuminated by a lamp, w e r e even more elaborately fortified. T h e panels were strengthened by bars and cross-bars; and these, in their turn, were kept in position by a system of braces and struts, some abutting on t h e floor, s o m e on the roof, and others, In fine, against the opposite wall of t h e apartment. Northmour produced some cold meat, to which I eagerly set myself, and a bottle of good Burgundy, by which, wet a s I w a s , I did not scruple t o profit. I have a l w a y s been an extreme temperance m a n o n p r i n c i p l e ; b u t it is useless to push principle to excess, and o n this occasion I believe that I finished three-quarters of t h e bottle. As I cte, I still continued t o admire the preparations for defense. "We could stand a siege," I said at length. "Ye—es," drawled Northmour; "a very little one, per—haps. It Is not so much t h e strength of t h e pavilion F misdoubt; it is t h e double danger that kills me. If w e get t o shooting, wild as the country is, some one is sure to hear it, and then—why, then. it's the same thing, only different, as they say, caged by law, or killed by Carbonari. There's t h e choice. It is a devilish bad thing to h a v e t h e law against you In this world, and so I tell the old gentleman up stairs. H e Is quite of my w a y of thinking." "Speaking of that," said I, "what kind of person is h e ? " "Oh, h e ? " cried the other; "he's a rancid fellow as far as he goes.

I proposed, I remember, t o make loopholes; but he told m e they were already made in t h e w i n d o w s of the upper story. It was an anxious business, this i n - spection, and left me down-hearted. There were t w o doors and five wlndews to protect and counting Clara, only four of u s to defend t h e m against an unknown number of foes. I communicated m y doubts to Northmour, w h o assured me with unmoved composure that h e entirely shared them. "Before morning," eald he, " w e shaM all be butchered and buried In Graden Ploe. F o r m e t h a t Is written." I could n o t help shuddering at the mention of the quicksand, but reminded Northmour that our e n e m i e s had spared m e in t h e wood. "Do not flatter yourself," eald he. "Then you were n o t In t h e same boat with the old gentleman; now you are. It's t h e floe for all of us, mark my words." I trembled for Clara, and Just then her dear voice w a s heard calling us to come upstairs.

H e wore a skull-cap of Mack silk; a huge Bible lay open before h i m o n t h e bed, with a pair of gold spectacles In t h e place, and a pile of other books lay o n the stand by h i s side. T h e green curtains lent a cadaverous shade t o his cheek, and, a s h e s a t propped o n pillows, h i s great stature w a s painfully hunched, and h i s head protruded till it overhung h i s knees. I believe if he had n o t died otherwise, h e must h a v e fallen a victim t o consumption In the course of but a very few weeks. He held out to me a hand, long, thin and disagreeably hairy. "Come in, come in, Mr. Cassilis," said he. "Another protector—ahem!— another protector. Always welcome as a friend of my daughter's, Mr. Cassilis. H o w they have rained about me, my daughter's friends! May God In heaven bless and reward them for i t ! " I gave him my hand, of course, because I could not help It, but t h e s y m - pathy I bad been prepared to feel for Clara's father was immediately soured by his appearance and the wheedling, unreal tones in which h e spoke. "Cassilis is a good man," said Northmour, "worth ten." "So I hear," cried Mr. Huddlestone eagerly; "so my girl tells me. Ah, Mr. Cassilis, my sin h a s found me out, you s e e ! I am very low, very l o w ! but I hope equally p e n i t e n t We must all come t o the throne of grace at last, Mr. Cassilis. For m y part, I come late indeed, but with unfeigned humility, I trust." "Fiddle-de-dee!" said Northmour roughly. "No, no, dear Northmour!" cried the banker. "You must not say that; you must n o t try to shake me. You forget, m y dear, good boy, you forget I may be called this very night before ray Maker." His excitement w a s pitiful to behold, and I felt myself growing indignant with Northmour, whose infidel opinions I well knew and aeartily derided, as he continued to taunt the poor sinner out of h i s humor of repentance. "Pooh, m y dear Huddlestone!" said he. "You do yourself injustice. You are a man of t h e world Inside and out. and were up to all kinds of mischief before I w a s born. Your conscience is tanned like South American l e a t h e r - only you forget t o tan your liver, and that, if you will believe me, is the seat of the annoyance." "Rogue! rogue! bad b o y !

"I am n o precisian, if you come to that; I always hated a precisian; but I never lost hold of something better through broke out suddenly, h i s hand raised with interest and terror. "Only the rain, bless God!" he added, after a pause, and with indescribable relief. For some seconds he lay back among the pillows like a man near to fainting; then he gathered himself together, and. in somewhat tremulous tones, began once more to thank me for the ?hare I was prepared to take in his defense. "One question, sir," said I, when he had paused. "Is it true that you have money with you?" He seemed annoyed at t h e question, but admitted with reluctance that h e bad a little. "Well," I continued, "It Is their money they are after, is i t not? W h y not g i v e it up to them?" "Ah!" replied he, shaking his head, "I have tried that already, Mr. Cassilis; and a l a s ! that it should be so, but it i s blood they want." "Huddlestone, that's a little less than fair," said Northmour. "You should mention that what you offered them was upward of t w o hundred thousand s h o r t T h e deficit is worth a reference; it I s for what they call a cool sum, Frank. Then, you see, t h e fellows reason in their clear Italian w a y ; and it seems to them, a s indeed it seems to me. that they may just a s well have both while they are about it— money and blood together, by George, and no more trouble for t h e extra pleasure."

Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful, one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself, he is ready to take advantage of it. \ little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A pro dent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the bouse, tbe shiftless fellow will wait until nscessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out 25c, the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why bis neighbor is getting richer while he ie getting poorer.

All Ignorant men are superstitious, but all superstitious men are not ignorant. The balance of political power Is in the hands of men who can do nothing but vote and find fault. "What has become of the mosquito fleet?" anxiously asks a contemporary. Probably gone into summer quarters. Up to date Marshal Primo de Rivera, who declared "That rag called the American flag shall never float over the walls of Manila," has not been heard from in regard to recent events in the capital of the Philippines. The progress of English toward universal use was shown when Doctor Nansen recently addressed the Russian Geographical Society on the theme jf his Arctic adventures. He spoke in English, saying he knew no Russian, was not sure of German, and could not use French with any degree of ease; but not one of his audience complained of not being able to understand English. "Westward the course of empire takes its way," until px*w the west becomes the east. There axe few greatef romances in history than that suggested by the raising of the American flag over the Phil.pplnes. For they are a part of the land which Columbus sailed to seek and which he thought he had discovered, and they are now wrested from the land he served by the land which he did discover. If we were back a few centuries, that would be a theme for an epic. "We Chinese bind our feet and you Americans your lungs," a royal little lady said one day to a missionary who protested against the former crue1 practice; "it is a difference of custom, that is all, except that ours is the better/' Similar superiority is felt by the native women of India, some of whom were recently horrified by a sight of the corsets of an American traveler. After examining the garment one asked If she might touch her, and receiving permission, exclaimed, " 0 child of God! Have you really bones inside of you? We supposed that you must have been made without them, since you wear them outside." Lieutenant Carranza, whose bid for notoriety by challenging all the Washington officials whose names he knew or could obtain fell on barren ground, has now settled down as a member of Spain's secret service establishment in Canada. We are not sure that the challenged officials on this side of the line have the best of the bargain. It might be a waste of time and powder to fight a duel with a bloviating fire-eater like Carranza, but he would be safer in the hospital than as a cunning spy. As a Spanish lieutenant could not probably hit anything short of a forty-foot bill board, we must conclude that a great opportunity to remove a dangerous spy without incidental danger has been xnisiBr The liberal government in Canada is preparing to hold a referendum on the subject of prohibition.

There are flag days and all sorts of days we celebrate in 615" fashion or another, b u t w h e n t h e Fourth of July gets w i t h i n reaching distance, then we realize that the day of days is at hand. That Is why the star spsngled banner Is in the minds of everybody. The orators with silver tongues have told and the poets have sung about all that is great and glorious regarding the old flag. So much for patriotism. Really, the flag is a very prosaic benefit, apart f«om the sentiment that attaches to it. Thousands and thousands of prople gain their living, from one year's end to another, In making United States flags. Think of It. Every year, the people of the United States buy three millions of flags. During that same period a million flags disappear. Nobody knows where they go to. The American flag has just passed its one hundred and twenty-first birthday. The patched up affair that Betsey Ross gave to the world at the time of the revolutionary war has been reproduced millions of times. Yet the only change from the design that the expert fingers of Mrs. Ross prepared is in the number of stars. It Is just the same flag in appearance that decorated the hall in which the first congress of the United States met. It is a finer flag now in point of material, and almost any sort can be bought that one is willing to pay for, but whether it be silk or paper, it is the stars and stripes, the idol of the people, whose fame increases with the addition of every star. And all the time we think of the poetry and prose of the flag. If any reader of these lines has ever visited a foreign country, has been a stranger in some far away place over the ocean, he may remember the feeling of joy. of pride, almost rapture that came to him when he first saw the stars and stripes floating over the consulate. The writer remembers some years ago walking down the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. Just ahead of him was a regulation man of the world, and yet something about him indicated that at one time or another he had lived in America. He walked slowly down the avenue until all of a sodden, from the second story of a building at the right, there was flung to the breeae the silken folds of a beautiful specimen of the I morion flag. The man of the world •aw tt. In a second his sUk hat was off his head, and despite the onlookers he gave three as lusty cheers for the stars and stripes as ever came from an American throat. As the'writer reached him, he turned about and with tears rolling down his cheeks, said, "I did not know that the sight of anything could touch me like that." And then he cheered again. This is just by way of evidence that the average person who looks at, waves and carries the American flag has really no idea of the place in his heart that it holds. If anything were ever a thing of beauty and a joy forever, it is the flag of the United States. Thousands of people say that it does not protect them when away from home. It has been said in mass meetings that it was no longer the flag of the free. And yet there is not one of those who make the remarks referred to who would not fight In a minute for that same flag if any one beside an American citizenspoke against it. A singular.fact concerning theAmer lean flag and the people over whom It floats is that with all reverence for It they are dreadfully irreverent with it. The flag is something to be cheered and saluted and honored in every way, but when it is worn out it is cast aside and a new one substituted. Nobody knows and nobody cares where the worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the day is the fact that they have served their purpose. This by no means refers to the battle flags. No. indeed. If there are GAVE THREE LUSTY CHEERS, only three inches of red, white and blue, and a single star remaining attached to the staff of such a banner, the people think infinitely more of it than they would of the finest thirtyfoot flag that was ever made. The poor old rent and tattered banners all have a meaning. There is history, tragedy, romance and sometimes humor amon** the memories of the dear old relics. Let any one who doubts that pay a visit to the state house at Hartford. 'Jonn., that staid old town, where it used to be against the law for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday. Hard«featurad old farmers come in and riew the cases whore the flags ore located and presently, if one cares to watch, there will ho distinct evidence* of moisture and the dew on the grass of a June morning was never i I lightful than the dew of patriotism that really iprlngs from the heart of the American cltisen, whether he be old and hard-featured or in the flush of youth.

But when wo gather ourselves together and get to the wludow and look out; when we see on the nearest flagstaff the stars and stripes, brilliant and beautiful as the debutante in the first flush of social success, wo forget about the noise. We only remember that we are citizens of the greatest republic the world ever knew, and we know that any disturbance we may hear is In honor of that flag which is floating above us. We are proud of it. And then, as the day grows apace and all that it means 1B borne in upon us, the words of geniU3 come back to us and we say to ourselves that nature herself shows us that the United States will never be Bundered. France has the Illy, England has the rose, Scotland has the thistle, Ireland has the shamrock. All these have their day and pass from earth, but the stars shine on forever.

The most beautiful monuments ever erected to commemorate past deeds are those which, built by the peps of the poets, are. found in the literature of America. The hands that grasped the battle flags in the "days which tried men's souls," and the hands that, with the pen* have glorified banner and hero, • ' ; , C ' , r ' have also been the hands of patriots —patriots with hearts full of love, for liberty, not for conquest; for country, not self. Out of the gKeat number of subjects for literary work offered by American history no other one has received so much attention as the flag, Indeed, it has been called a "floating piece of poetry." It has been the inspiration of many a poem from the pens of that group of New England writers now so dear to American hearts, among whom are numbered Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Emerson and Lowell; while the fame of many of our minor poets, such as Joseph Rodman Drake and Francis Scott Key, rests especially, if not entirely, on a single production in honor of the flag. Naturally a great many patriotic poems have grouped themselves about the wars which our history records. The revolutionary war has furnished considerable material of this character, though most of the poems relating the struggle was ended. Probably the earliest mention of the flflg.Jji poetry Is found In "An Ancient Prophecy." a poem written soon after the surrender of Cornwallls, and predicting the outcome of the war thus: "O king, my dear king, you shall be very sore, . Prom the stars and stripes you will mercy implore, And your lion shall growl, but hardly bite more." Later, the .first flght In the war for Independence is portrayed by Emerson in words familiar to every American: "By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled. Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world." Holmes says, In speaking of the heroes of the battle of Lexington: "While o'er their ashes the starry fold flying Wraps the proud eagle they roused from his nest." Thus showing the flag as the emblem of the nation which those New England farmers helped to establish. In spite of the "Ancient Prophecy," however, the Hon. still growling, attempted a second bite, and the war of 1812 ensued. Again the poets come forward, and the flag of glory is borne irresistibly along, cheered on and encouraged by such words as these: "Comrades! Join the flaglof glory, Cheerily tread the dfclkof fame, Earn a place in future story, Seek, and w,ln a .warrior's name. * * * * . * * - * May our. bannered stars as ever Splendidly o'er freemen burn, Till the night of war is over. Till the dawn of peace return." It was .during a battle of this war also that the "Star Spangled Banner" wss written, one of the most patriotic and impassioned songs In all literature The Mexican war, too, adds its ooni tribution. A poem relating to that contest tolls how, after an ail-day's fight, the few surviving American soldiers were able to place the victorious flag upon the public buildings of Monterey: "Our banner on those turrets wave. And there ©or evening bugles fihy." The Ohio state convention of the Republican party, held HI Coluiul>ut v.as. unusually free from wrangling and passed off almost as peaceably o# a Methodist pruyer meeting-. There were four cpnleated. district, In which the delegation of 2-st district, in which uie uuitgaaoh of Mayor McKlsson, of Cleveland, Ugured, was the only one of any proportions, and It wns regurded by some as the' Inauguration of a third term movement by Mayor AicKlsson. The MuKiaum contestants kept the committee on creuentlals in session ail rpght unci all ihe ca»ea were divided uga.nst the aireuxly small minority. When lion. H. M. Daugherty. chairman of the suite central commuted, ca.led the convention to order, the auditorium was tilled, except the i;ailerle3; The only disturbance was in that section of tae hall assigned to the 21&t congressional district. The Hanna delegatus from that district had the tickets, hut the Melvisson delegates pot in early, through the indulgence of an assistant sergeant-ai-anns, aim preempted the seals. The other delegates crowded Into thtf same seals, and both delegations participated, but Cnulrman Grosvenor put everything through on viva voce votlnp, so that there was no eol.lslon. After pruyer by Dr. Franklin Mc- Elfresh, Chairman Daugherty, in opening the convention, strongly Indorsed he war against Spain and the President's policy. He then announced that Gen. Grosvenor would take charge of the convention as temporary chairman, with Hon. John R. Malloy, of Co umbus, as temporary secretary, and F. W. Gass. of Cincinnati, temporary sergeant-at-arms. Secretary Malloy read a letter from Senator Hanna, In wl.lch the senator expressed the regret t h a t his congressional d u U e ^ d f t a l r i M J ^ "offered this sentiment: "Kepublicanlsm In Its broadest, truest sense, devotion to principles arid loyalty to party organization, the administration of P r e s e n t Mc- Kinley as a fulfillment of our p'.ed?es to the American people and a guarantee of the future prosperity of our country." On be!ng introduced as temno-arv ^ a i r - man Gen. Grosvenor revtwed the pledges of the party at ihe S' Louis convention and what had been done since the inauguration of President McKlnley. His speech was regarded as thf keynote of the Republican campaign. Tn It he said that the American Hag would remain In the West Indies and Philippines, and wherever It was planted in warfare.. After the appointment of committees the convention adjourned for the day. When the convention reassembled it did rot require much tln^e to n>[=h nn its business. The temporary organization was made-permanent. Tne session lasted less thao two hours and most of that time was devo ed to u n s e ' t i n g the sm 11 minority of dissenters. After the contests were disposed of. everything was unnn'mous and by acclamation. Five nominations were made within 12 minutes, including the presentation and recording of speeches. The delegates, after the convention perfected Its permanent organization, were a.I H a n n a men. If the factions were not completely w'ped out thev were at least shut out. There was some doubt expressed as to two of the 21 members of the state central committee, Brown, of Toledo, and Craighead, of Dayton—but they were not long in announcing themselves as In accord with the maloritv. ?o 'hat the party machinery is entirely In the hands of the friends of Senator Hanna for the next year. rw,v.

The free silver Democrats, t h e free silver Republicans and the free silver P o p - ulists have again united their forces to Michigan and chosen the following tLcket to be voted o n In November: For Governor—Jusf in R. Whiting (Democrat), of St. Clair. i F o r Lieutenant-Governor—M. ' F . Mc- Donald (Democrat), of Bault Bte. Marie. F o r State Treasurer—Dr. E . B . timith (Democrat), of Detroit.

For Member of the Board of Education —George E. Wllletts (Populist), of Marshall. T h e conventions' of the three parties were held In Lockerby hall. Grand Rapids, and in spite of the predicted and anticipated fight over the division of the offices the fusion w a s effected w i t h o u . friction enough to make the event interesting, although t h e presence and eloquence of the principal party leader* caused plenty of enthusiasm. T h e Democratic' section of the convention a s s e m - bled In the main hall of the building promptly en time. The patriotic sentim e n t s of the gathering were shown in the p r o f u s e decoratl*ms—in red. .white and_ - s t a t e treasurer. ue. The delegates' s e a t s were well "" ' and earnestness of the brave men of Mich'gan, who, in the volunteer gervicn. have reflected iuch credit open our commonwealth. We at*, in favpr ojf equal ty in taxation. We Inplet that QorporaKona and accumulated wealth should pair their Juit share of the burden of .taxation. ' We call attention to the fact that when the Democratic party c-atuo ;nto power in thlt elate In 1891, for the fli-st time in many year*, it promptly inaugurated meatturea looking to the equal aud juet taxation of railroad and other corporation*. It paxaed a law compelling railroads to carry passenger* at 'i cents per mile, wnioh ha* been uutta ned by the Supreme Court Of the state; it <-»tabllHhed a. franchise fee for oerporatlons, which has produced large revenues; it restricted the r'-ght of consolidation of competing railroudts; it Inaugurated the first Australian ballot law ever enacted in the state, designed to prevent the coercion of the votes of workirTgmen by corporate agents; it enacted the first practical and effective law for the protection of mechanics' liens; it repealed the law which practically exempted mining companies from taxation, aud compelled them to pay their Just share of taxee; it Introduced business methodB In all branches of the state government by wh'ch the people were better served at much less exp<n.-:e than any prior or subsequent administration. A l i t r m e adoption of the platform a n - other wait ensued to give the conferenco Committee of tr-o three conventions time to report, and a recess w a s taken. The rnimbo'-j of i.ie tnplt- ci.tfer.'" e committees labored a l l t h e afternoon, finally reaching an agreement t h a t the offices of governor, lieutenant-governor and s t a t e treasurer should go to the D e m o c r a t s , the offices of auditor-general, attorney-general and superintendent of public instruc- .ton to the silver Republicans, and secretary of state, land commissioner and member of the s t a t e board of education to the PojiUli8t^, t h e nominations to be made In the separate conventions and he three to come together and ratify the whole. The report recommended that the triple name and the vignette used in 18W should be continued. As soon a s the report w a s made the Democrats rushed their business t o a finish. Fred A. Baker complimented Henry A. Robinson, of Detroit, as a political philosopher, but withdrew hla name in favor of Justin R. Whiting amid applause. Whiting was then unanimously nominated for governor. Fred Warren, of Detroit nominated Dr. Sdgar B. Smith, of that city, for lieutenant- governor. W m . P. Preston, of Mackinaw, nominated Michael F . McDonald, a young Sault Ste. Marie lawyer, for the s a m e position. Before t h e vote w a s announced Smith withdrew and McDonald was nominated. Dr. Smith was, rewarded by being unanimously nominated for THE ILLS OF WOMEN And Bow Mrs. Pinkhaxn Help* Overcome Them. tdu.. „- • • l e d , but there were few in the galleries, T h e W a y n e delegation marched in with a band and a banner, declaring the de.egation solid for Whiting. W h e n Fred A. Baker, of Detroit, as retiring chairman of the s t a t e cesitral committee, called the convention to order, he w a s appiauded, but made only a short speech, merely Introducing Rev. John M. McCormlck, of St. Mark's church, w h o delivered prayer. Then Mr. B a k e r Introduced T h o m a s F. McGarry, of Grand Rapids, as temporary chairman. Mr. McGatry made a speech t h a t w a s well received. H e declared that D e m o c - racy represents the conservative sentiment of the m a s s of the people, standing between the one extreme of disorder and the other extreme of the great concentration of wealth. There w a s a round of applause w h e n Mr. McGarry said It w a s th£ duty of all true Democrats to stand up for the vigorous prosecution of the war, no m a t t e r v/hat they m a y have thought of the causes that led to the strife. The w a r had once more united the nation and" it would take an archeologist to locate Mason and Dixon's line.

He closed with a plea for a just and frugal government and a Constitutional s y s t e m of g o d and silver, the government to be controlled by Democrats under the leadership of William Jennings Bryan. The mention of the n a m e s of McKinley and Bryan caused tremendous cheers. —The—chairman—had—scarcely—finl^lit'd when Mark W. Stevens, of Flint, offered a resolution for the appointment of a conference committee, to meet similar comm i t t e e s from the Populist and Silver Republican conventions. T h e point w a s raised that the convention w a s not yet organized, and the committees selected by the various district caucuses wer then announced, and T. E. Barkworth. of Jackson, w a s elected permanent chairm a n ; Wm. E . Fenwlck, of Detroit, secretary. Chairman Barkworth then a p - pointed a committee of five, a s follows: John Miner. Detroit; Charles R. H a m p - ton, P e t o s k e y ; Q. A. Smith, Lansing; A. A. Ellis, Ionia, and M. T. Ryan. Allegan. T h e convention then adjourned for dinner. Meanwhile the silver Republican convent. on organized by choosing Stanley C. Parkhill. of Owosso, temi>orary chairman. Three conferees w e r e appointed, a s follows: S. W. Hopkins. Mt. P l e a s a n t : Mai. E. C. Watkins, Grand Rapids, and W. E. Ware, Jackson. T h e Populist convention c h o s e A. W.

Haxen, St. Joseph; J a m e s Winnie, Grand Ledge, and J. W. Pettibone. W h e n t h e Democrats reassembled Chairman Barkworth m a d e a speech, in which he s a i d that there had boen no c h a n g e In conditions from those <$f t w o years a g o . Bryan had not changed any more than t h e state of affa;rs. The speaker referred to the improvement in the tlme-s a s a "fictitious prosperity," and h e herd t h a t t h e country's monetary s y s t e m still needs change. A s to the war, Chairman Barkworth said it w a s a nonpartisan w a r and should be carried on bv a united country. T h e veil between the three silver parties of Michigan w a s bec o m i n g thinner, and the chairman predicted the t h a t the time w h e n thev would b e c o m e one In organization a s well a s in principle w a s not far distant, tn Michigan a s well a s in the nation. Mr. Barkworth's speech w a s liberally applauded. Fred A. Baker, w h o followed, declared the Chicago convention of 1S96 to be the greatest gathering of t h e country, next to the c o n g r e s s which declared t h e independence of the United States, and the Chlca*o platform w a s a n e w declaration of independence. T h e strumrle, he (^- clared, w a s w h e t h e r t h e c o m m o n people shall control the government of the country or not. Baker, speaking of the silver men's support of the war, referred to Grover Cleveland's address on the a c - Suisitlon of territory, and said: "When I nd m y s e l f in accord with Grover Cleveland. I am s o m e w h a t ^uaoictous of m v Democracy." (Applause.) B a k e r declared that he would favor establishing the United S t a t e s flag over e v e r y place, where tt could he consistently maintained. The speaker declared against the national banking s y s t e m . W h e n th#> aoplause pers d t t e d him t * be heard. Chairman Barkw o r t h called for three cheer* for Mr; Baker, and they were g i v e n with a T"*ill. J u d g e Morse, of Ionia, a l s o made an eloquent address. T. E.

Ei»«'c'a!- U- do we feel Jurt pride in the high character Then c a m e the election of a chairman oC the s t a t e central committee, and Daniel J. Campau, of Detroit, w a s elected without a word of opposition. Mr. Campau, in his speech of acceptance, said he .hought the honor paid him w a s due rather to the principles h e represents ;han to his personal popularity. T h e convention then took a recess to permit the other conventions to make their nominations. The Populists had had a rather warm time over the conference committee's report. Ed S. Grcee, of Detroit, and several o t h e r s objected to the plan of nornlnaions in separate convention. T h e y wanted to meet in m a s s convention, a s w a s done two years ago. However, they were voted d o w n and the conference committee report adopted by a v o t e of 28 to 31. Grece and K. J. Jeffries, of Detroit, made the fight against the conference committee report in the interest of Henry A. Robinson's canclld.'icy. T h e y realized that if separate conventions were held Whiting would carry the Democratic gathering, w h e r e a s in case a m r s s convention of all the e.ements w a s held Rootnson wou.d have had more strength, but the fight ended in favor of the conference report and then all w a s smooth Bailing. The regulation Populist platform w a s reaffirmed and a clause added denouncing war bonds. The officers nominated were a s follows: Secretary of state, Leroy E. Lockwbod, of Coldwater; land commissioner. Carlton Peck, of Lapeer; member of the board of education, George E. Wllletts, of Marshall. The silver Republicans had a slight row over their resolution?. The platform a s reported declared for bimetallism: but -did not specify the Chicago brand. There WHS objection and the committee prepared another report, in which the ratio of 16 to 1 w a s mentioned definitely. T h e financial plank also declares that McKinley and Oage practically adopted the gold standard faith of the Indianapolis platform. The increased bond issues since 1893 w a s viewed with alarm. The resolution further declared in favor of a vigoro u s prosecution of the war. Attention w a s called to the high patriotism of Michigan's volunteers; a demand w a s made for better pay for private soldiers; direct legislation w a s favored: t h e union of the reform parties urj;ed. Congressmen Brucker and Todd were complimented for their v o t e on Hawaii. The platform also opined that no reforms could be expected from Republican legislatures, dominated a s they are bv federal patronage. The Republican silver men introduced a n Innovation, and gave their m a l e candid a t e s the company of a lady. Mrs. Flora B. Renkes. superintendent of schools of Barry county, w a s nominated for superintendent of public instruction, and s h e is probably the iirst w o m a n that ever ran en a state ticket in Michigan. The other nominations made were John L. Friable, of HilLsdale. for auditor-general, and Royal A. H a w l e y , of Ionia, for attbrnevgoneral. The throe co.riyontions, a m a l g a m a t e d In the Democrats' hall and went through the c t r e m o n y of indorsing the candidates? named, and then the gathering organized a s t h e convention of the I*emocratic- People's-t'nion-Silver party, with T. E . Barkworth in the chair and Frank Vandercook, of St. Louis, a s secretary. After organization. Airs. Elizabeth E a g l e s field, of Grand Rapids, made a sjpeech in which she said she v.-ould see to it that the w o m e n of the state would help the fusion ticket If there w a s a w o m a n upon it. »>tPlln R. Whiting, in accepting the nomination for governor, said he wouK not discuss important issues. "We arc now united," he said, "'and w e shall soon become the majority party of the s*ate. (Applause.) It m a y be too t*oon to hope for this in this campaign, but t w o years from now T believe we shall carrv the s,tate for William J. B r y a n . " (Applause.) Mr, Whiting said one of the heaviest burdens of the people is their debt, and there w a s no hope of getting rid of it under th<5 gold standard. Whiting went on with the d i s c i s s i o n of the silver propaganda, s a y i n g the people are suffering from "bond slavery," and t h a t there w a s a trick to m a k e a more important issue of the matter of taxation, which, he s»ld. w a s straining at « g m u and s w a l l o w i n g a camel.

I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Compound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that I am entirely cured.** Mrs. HENBY DOBB, NO. 806 Findley S t , Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham: " For a long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain In abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any* thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhoea. After doe* torin? for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound was doing., 1 decided immediately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies havs entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which I am gratef u l . M a y heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex."

A box containing wheat saturated ] with strychnine was recently placed In the hands of a scientist for examination because of the curious faot that a number of insects had beta found there, all of whioh were busily engaged in devouring the poisoned grain. Bo remarkable did this appear that studies have been made of the tastes and polson-reststing qualities of some of these small creatures. It is ascertained that the weevil will grow and flourish on grain mingled with strychnine. This is destructive to almost all insects/but the weevil seems to prefer it to other food. Samples of the same poisoned grain were glvea pests, and in every instance they died almost immediately. In this same Una of research it may be said that almost every poison plant has Its parasite, and from it some form of life derive* its subsistence. A Practical Invention. A man who evidently does his thl&klng to some purpose has Invented a small device which will, to an extent, do away with the setting of tires. It consists of two pieces of metal which are inserted between the sections of the felloes of the wheel. A series of plates made of thin metal are provided, and these are driven in between the metal blocks as described. They may be removed if the wheel swells or It is apparent that the felloe is too tigbt It is a simple device, and very easily adjusted.

J BEWICK AND AUDUBON. Two Or*»t Xaffemlirt* with Widely Varying FtoUU. The naturalist's mind is, above all things, receptive; open to impressions, not creative; a sensitive plate which records if it can, and if it canno^, receives the impressions for its own satisfaction and enjoyment. We believe that the very best record extant of this receptlveness and of the impressions which eucb minds rce^ye from nature, and of the mingled characters and relativity of these impressions, is seen in the cuts in Bewick's two volumes en birds—not so much In the plates of the birds as in the little vignettes with which the book is adorned, and in the tiny landscapes often inserted behind the figures of the different species. He know the wrinkles in the bark of every sort of tree, the natural line of the splits and the cracks in dead wood and living wood, the angle that each kind of twig makes with its parent branch when living, and the portions it loses when dead. Every shift of weather, the carpentry of the shed, the gate, the barn, the record of the tombstone, and the death and decay of men, animals and trees were all recorded on the sensitive plate of this northern naturalist's brain. He evidently derived Intense satisfaction from his way of life. Yet his area of interest was very limited. This matured very little to one who aaade such uae of it. But though change and variety are in time greatly desired, and the new sights give keener pleastire than the old, for in natural history as in other things the appetite grow* *>y what it feeds on, ft may be doubted whether the enjoyment necessarily increased wtth the quantity of food provided, Audubon, who had half a continent to roam jpver, from Florida to Labrador, and from Now England t# the Rocky Mountains, was not mora keenly happy than Bewick, wboa* range was limited te the moors of a ooraar of Northumberland, erf wbHa Audubon aisnaalf notes in lie Journals that "for sixteen miles a* taw no object of interest" The ga—tttf of Bowick and Audubon at Kawoattk, and their reciprocal display, be- tfee oae of fcle paintings from the wealth of Amet4- JfttfJ* 4*4 Apra. and. by (fee otagr f 0 (KottSitotMS ®f fUumittKtittg <&il Our oil marketed iu this district uader brand of Don't be deceived by paying a fancy price for an oil that has a fictitious value 'and which does not give as good results as are obtained from olir Water White __JEleetri^Oil.

TSamaxd $> C&uv$be\L Large Crowd, Good 8peaklng and Plenty of 8port. 1 COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS. The morning of the Fourth dawned as if it bad been made to order. It was clear and cool enough »o that no one suffered with the beat. The day was ushered in by the booming of tbe anvils in lieu of a connan (the cannon having been sent to Cuba) and the small hoy contributed to the best of his ability—to make th9 noise appropriate for the day. Tbe Jaekson County Cornet Band came down on the morning train accompanied by a good delegation from Munith and Stock bridge, and by ten o'clock, a large crowd thronged tbe streets. The business men~otd not takrholoy of the street parade with the right kind of vigor so that was not what it ought to have been. The parade wound up at tbe town ball where a staging had been erected for the speakers. The Declaration of Independence was read by Rev. K. H. Crane, and Rev. C. S. Jones spoke for about 30 minutes in a very fitting style. Rev. Fr. Comerford, in his pleasing way, told a few appropriate stories and the exercises closed. Immediately after and during dinner time, th) foot races, etc., took place on Main street. In the free-torall loot race, Frank Ei win won money and 8. T. Grimes second the boy's foot race, Johnie Brog first; Lutie Birnie second. The pi race was contested by F, Stoll and Arthur Glenn which resulted in a victory— for—StolL F.

Running Race—Time :59 Duster H., 1st: Young Jim, 2nd. The races were all £ mile heats and were hotly contested as the time will show. A con pie of accidents happened during the races which came very near being fatal. In one race the sulkies oH Messrs. Wilcox and Roche collided and Mr. Wilcox was thrown out and quite badly injured though not fatally. In tbe last Leat of the bicycl race, George Walters struck the mars hall's horse and was knocked senseless; and for a time it was thought that he was fatally injured but he rallied and was able to return to his home at Howell on Tuesday. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock, the horse racee and ball game took place on the race course. The ball game, Chelsea vs Stockbridge was hotly contested and won by Stosk bridge.

T h e blockade of San Jkian proelaitneoY is a reality, having b e e n initiated by Capt. Sigsbee last week, w h e n h e turned back a British steamer laden w i t h supplies.

"Is it in the pavilion?" I asked, ' "It Is; and I wish it was in the bottom of the sea Instead," said North* mour; and then suddenly—"What are you making faces at me for?" he cried to Mr. Huddleatone, on whom I had unconsciously tamed my hack. "Do you think Cassllls would sell you?" Mr. Huddlestone protested that nothing had been further from his mind. "It is a good thing," retorted Northmour, in his ugliest manner. "You might end by warying us. What were you going to say?" he added, turning to me. "I was going to propose an occupation for the afternoott," said I. "Let UB carry that money ottt, piece by piece, and lay it down before the pavilion door. If the Carbonari come, why, it's theirs, at any rate." "No, No I" cried Mr. Huddlestone; "It does not, it cannot belong to them! It should be distributed pro rata among all my creditors." "Come, now, Huddlestone," said Northmour, "none of that." "Well, but my daughter," moaned the wretched man. "Your daughter will do well enough. Here are two suitorc*, Cassilis and I, neither of us beggars, between whom self, to make an end of arguments, you have no right to a farthing, and, unless I'm much mistaken, you are going to die." It was certainly very cruelly said, but Mr. Huddlestone was a man who attracted little sympathy, and, although I saw him wince mentally Indorsed I added a contrlbuand shudder, I the rebuke; nay, tiori of my own. "Northmour and I," I said, "are willing enough to help you to save your life, but not to escape with stolen property." He struggled for a while with himself, as though he were on the point of giving way to anger, but prudence had the beat of.the controversy. "My dear boys," he said, "do with me or my money what you will. I leave it all in your hands.. Let me compose myself." And so we left him, gladly enough I • am sure.

He looked over his shoulder nervously, as though he feared that some one had crept between him and the pavilion door. "By God," he said hi a whisper, "this Is too much for me!" I replied in the same key: "Suppose there should be none, after all!" "Look there," he returned, nodding with his head, as though he had been afraid to point. I glanced In the direction indicated, and there, from the northern corner of the Sea-Wood, beheld a thin column of smoke rising steadily against the now cloudless sky. "Northmour," I said (we still continued to talk in whispers), "it is not possible to endure this suspense. I prefer death fifty times over. Stay you here to watch the pavilion; I will go forward and make sure, if I have to walk right into their camp." He looked once again all around him with puckered eyes and then nodded assentingly to my proposal. My heart beat like a sledge-hammer as I set out, walking rapidly in the direction of the-smoka; and though up to that moment I bad felt chill and shivering, I was suddenly conscious of a glow of heat over all my body. The ground In this direction was very uneven; a hundred men might have lain hidden in as many square yards about my path. But I had not practiced the business In vain; chose such routes as cut at the very root of concealment and, by keeping along the most convenient ridges, commanded several hollows at a time. It was not long before I was rewarded for my caution. Coming suddenly on to a mount somewhat more elevated than the surrounding hummocks I saw, not thirty yards away, a man bent almost double and running as fast as his attitude permitted along the bottom of a gully. I had dislodged one of the spies from his ambush. As soon as I sighted him I called loudly In English and Italian, and he, seeing concealment was no longer possible, straightened himself out, leaped from the gully and made off as straight as an arrow for the borders of the wood. It was none of my business to pursue; I had learned what I wanted—that we were beleaguered and watched in the pavilion, and I returned at" once, and walking as nearly as possible in my old footsteps, to where Northmour awaited me beside the dispatch-box. He was even paler than when t had left him and his voice shook a little. "Could you see what he was like?" he asked. "He kept his back turned, I replied. "Let us go Into the house, Frank. I don't think I'm a coward, but I can stand ho more of this." he whispered. All was still and sunshiny about the pavilion as we turned to re-enter it, even the ?ulls had flown in a wider circuit, and were seen flickering along the beach and sandhills, and this loneliness terrified me more than a regiment under arms. It was not until the door was barricaded that I could draw a full inspiration and relieve the weight that lay upon my bosom. Northmour and I exchanged a steady glance, and I suppose each made his own reflections on the white and startled aspect of the other. "You were right," I said. "All is over. Shake hands, old man, for the last time." "Yes,"replied he, "I will shake hands for as sure as I am here J bear no malice. But, remember, if by some impossible accident we should give the slip to these blackguards, I'll take the upper hand of you by fair or foul." "O!" said I. "you weary me." He seemed hurt, and walked away in silence to the foot of the stairs. The remainder of the day was passed in the same dreadful tedium and suspense. I laid the table for dinner, while Northmour and Clara prepared the meal together in the kitchen. I could hear theft talk as I went to and fro. and was surprised to find it ran all the time upon myself. Northmour again bracketed us together, and rallied Clara on a choice of husband*, but he continued to speak of m» with some feeling, and uttered nothing to my prejudice unless he included himself in the condemnation. This awakened a sense of gratitude la my heart which ready dead. combined with the inunediateaoai of I made some light rejoinder, but i t | our peril to nil my eyas with tears. After all, I thought—and perhaps the thought was laughably rain—we were here three very noble hssnaa beings to perish in defense of a thieving banker. Before we sat down t e taste. I ieoked forth from an upstairs window. The day was beginning to decline; the Unas CHAPTERVII. The recollection of that afternoon will always be graven on my mind. We debated over and orer again my proposal with regard to the money, and had we been in complete possession of our faculties I am sure we should have condemned It as unwise; but we were flustered with alarm, grasped at a straw and determined, although it wag as much as advertising Mr. Huddlestone's presence in the pavilion, to carry my proposal into effect. The sum was part in specie, part in bank paper and part in circular notes, na.vable to the name of James Gregory. We took It out, counted it, inclosed it once more in a dispatch-box belonging to Northmour and prepared a letter in Italian which he tied to the handle. It was signed by both of us under oath, and declared that this was all the money which had escaped the failure of the house of Huddlestone. This was, perhaps, the maddest action ever perpetrated by two persons professing to be sane. Had the dispatch-box fallen into other hands than those for which it was intended, we stood criminally convicted on our own written testimony; but, as I have said, we were neither of us in a condition to judge soberly, and had a thirst for action that drove us to do something, right or wrong, rather than endure the, agony of waiting. Moreover, as we were both convinced that the hollows of the links were alive with hidden spies upon our movements, we hoped that our appearance with the box might lead to a parley, and, perhaps, a compromise. It was nearly 3 when we issued from the pavilion. The rain had taken off; the sun shone truite cheerfully. I have never seen the gulls fly s o e i o s e about the house or approach' so fearlessly to human belne*. On the very doorstep one napped heavily past our fcead«, and uttered its wild cry in my very ear. "There Is an omen for you." 'Said Northssour, who. like all freethinkers, was much under'the Influence of superstition. 'They -Chink we are alwith half my heart, for the circmnetanee had impressed me, A yard or two before the gate, on a patch of smooth turf, we set down the dkpafcfc-box; and Northaaour waived a while hsndknrchief over his head. We raised eur voic- In •till lay untouched where we had left it hours before. - Mr. Huddlestone, in a long yelhrw dressing-gown, took the end of t h e table, Clara the other, while Northmour and I faced each other from the aides. The lamp was brightly trimmed; the wins was good; the viands, although mostly cold, excellent of their s o r t . Mr,. Huddlestone wag certainly no ordinary character; he had read and observe!} for himself; bia gifts were sound, and, though I could never have learned to love the man, I began t o understand his success In business, and the great respect in which he had been held before his failure. He had, above all, the talent of society; and though I never heard him speak but on this one and most unfavorable occasion, I set him down among the most brilliant conversationalists I ever met. He was relating with great gusto, and seemingly no feeling of shame, the maneuvers of a scoundrelly commission merchant whom he had known and studied in his youth, and we were all listening with an odd mixture of mirth and embarrassment, when our little party was brought abruptly to an end In the most startling manner. A no'se like that of a wet finger on the window-pane interrupted Mr. Huddlestone's tale, and in an instant we were all four as whits as paper and sat tongue-tied and motionless round the table. "A snail/' I said at last, for I had heard that these animals make a noise somewhat similar in character. "Snail be d — - d ! " said Northmour. "Hush!" The same sound was repeated twice at ;*gular_intervals. jLnd_ihenLa_formid-_ ahte voice shouted through the shutters the Italian word "Tradltors!" Mr. Huddlestone threw his head in the air, his eyelids quivered, next moment he fell insensible below the table. Northmour and I had each run to the armory and seized a gun. Clara was on her feet with her hand at her throat. So we stood waiting, for we thought the hour for attack was certainly come> but second passed after second, and all but the surf remained silent in the neighborhood of the pavilion. "Quick," said Northmour, "upstairs with him before they come." LI. 1 . «*l; CHAPTER VIII. Somehow or other, by hook and crook, and between the three of us we got Bernard Huddlestone bundled upstairs and laid upon the bed In "My Uncle's Room." During the whole process, which was rough enough, be gavo no sign of consciousness, and he remained, as we had thrown him, without changing the position of a finger. His daughter opened his shirt and began to wet his head and bosom, while Northmour and I ran to the window. The weather continued clear; the moon, which was n o w about full, had risen and shed a clear light upon the links; yet. strain our eyes as we might. we could distinguish nothing moving. "Thank God." said Northmour, "Aggie is not coming tonight." Aggie was the name of the old nurse. He hnd not thoueht of her till now; but that he should think of her at all was a trait that surprised me in the man. We were again reduced to waiting. Northmour went to the fireplace and spread his hands before the red embers, as if he were cold. I followed him mechanically with my eyes, and in so doing turned my back upon the window. At that moment a very faint report was audible from without, and a ball shivered a pane of glass, and buried itself in the shutter two inches from my head. I beard Olara scream, and though I whipped instantly out of range and into a corner, she was there so to speak, before me, beseeching t» know if I were hurt I continued to reassure her. with the tenderest caresses and in complete forgetfulnees of oar situation, till the voice of Northmour recalled me to myself. "There is one point that we mus» know," said he. "Are they going t o butcher the lot of us, or only Huddlestone? Did they take you for him. oi fire at you for your own beaux yeaux?* "They took me for him, for certain.*" I replied. "I am near as tall, and m? head is fair." "I a m going to make sure," returned Northmour, and he stepped up to t h e window, holding the lamp above h i s head, and stood there, quietly affronting death, for half a minute. •Tea," said Northmour, turning cool ly from the window; "it's only Huddle stone they w a n t " "On. Mr. Northmour!" cried Clara; but found no more to add. the temerity she had just witnessed seeming beyond the reach of words. He. on his part, looked at me. cocking his head with a Are of triumph in his eyes; and I understood at onee that he had thus haaarded his life merely to attract Clara's notice, and depose me from my position a s the hero of the boar. He snapped his fingers. ~ r n e are is only beginning." he said "When they w a r n ap to their w o r t they w o n t be so particular.'' (To he continued.)

It la one of the national customs to go out on excursions, In parties of two or three families, to view the flowering trees an* plants In their season, t i e Japanese love all flowers, but prefer those to which they look up—the flowers of trees. They visit the plum blossoms In February or early March; the cherry, especially beloved, In April; the lotus in July; azaleas during the summer; chrysanthemums in the autumn and camellias in December. In the pleasure grounds connected with every temple there are always magnificent collections of flowers. An expedition especially to see the flowers la called a hanaml, or flower view. The bank of the Sumlda River, which crosses the city of Tokio. is covered with chepry trees. These give a pleasant shafle, a n d t h e spot is a favorite promenade^fotthe^'tlzens all the year round, but in time7 of "cherry bloom" the crowds that^throng the avenue are largerX^thanrever. It is crowded on moonlight nights, and also when the snow lies freshly fallen. Being fully alive to the beauty of their country, wherever there is a point from whieh a picturesque view may be obtained the Japanese will build a pavilion, or a tea house, or some similar place of repose, from which the eyes may feast on the lovely landscape. In the family picnics or excursions, which are frequent, some place of beautiful situation from which there is a good view either of land or sea is always selected. These expeditions are not discontinued even when the cold of winter comes. Snow scenes are greatly enjoyed, and when the freshly fallen snow is lying on the ground numerous parties are seen at points commanding a fine view. The children are never excluded,, but accompany their elders on all such occasions.—St. Nicholas. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in inv family for year* and always with yood results" says W.

A correspondent of the London Times furnishes some remarkable testimony concerning the result of the prohibitory liquor laws which were adopted in Norway some time ago. The people long ago became alarmed at tht spread of spirit-drinking, and, after trying the Gothenburg system, which purified the pothouses, eighteen towns resolved to prohibit the sal* of spirits altogether. They did prohibit it, closing every spirit shop, with the result that drunkenness immediately and decidedly increased. Not only was a strong kind of port wine drank in quantities, but flliclt stills were set up in most back kitchens, and the people drank the raw fresh spirits with lamentable results. Even the children were found intoxicated, and the arreeta for drunkenness increased from 30 to 80 par cent. Prohibition, in fact, totally Aci OH .V regulate i .. ana UGW».U . — , - , — tutrws.

Winter comes before the fall—in the grice of ice. Good imitations are sometimes superior to poor originals. ' 8trange aa It may appear, nations airways go to war for the sake of peace. T* OT i ' T T , * • The French chef broils the Spanish mackerel, but the American humorist roasts i t Spain certainly experienced a great deal of trouble in Manila Bay, but her warships were at the bottom of i t There are but very few women mind readers, but when it comes to mind speakers they are very much in evidence. This war may mean more compulsory education in giving scholars- something additional to learn about the United States and its dependencies. A S t Louis contemporary's Washington correspondent wires that "bu3tle is • everywhere apparent about the White Rouse/' How the fashions do change! A Topeka paper suggests that Admiral Dewey's service In the Philippine* entitle him to substantial recognition at the hands of the present administration, aside from mere idle Votes of thanks and suggests that he be /appointed postmaster at Manila just a s soon as the Philippines are pacified. The stars and stripes are doing honorable service In the public schools of Chicago. Little celluloid flags are offered to the pupils at five cents each. .The proceeds are already sufficient to maintain three vacation schools, which for six weeks of the summer bring unseized happiness and no little profit to the children of the very poor. Lonsr may our flag wave over not merely the land of the free and the home of the •brave, but over a people whose rich come into kindly contact with the poor, and where the learned and fortunate ahare their acquirements with the ignorant and the forlorn. The people of the United States, if not the statesmen who were responsible, have chafed at the difficulties and delays caused by the short-sighted and niggardly policy of the past thirty Tears, with reference to the army and nary. To use-a colloquial expression, It has been "like pulling teeth" to get a single war vessel out of congress; ann the politicians have pretended fear that, the liberties of the country would be i s danger if the army of a nation numbering 70,000,000 should exceed 25,000 enlisted men. Now we are thanking our stars that our foe is poor, weak Spain—rated as a third-class European power. If it had been England, or France, or Germany, or Russia, or Italy, perhaps we should have conquered in the end; but at the beginning any one of them would have outclassed us hopelessly. Fortunately we have not to cry over spilled milk this time. Yet unless we learn the lesson of our narrow escape, the twentieth century may And Uncle Sam in more than on* tight •lace. At the- Washington postal congress attention was called to the fact that two-thirds of all the letters which pass thftuglr the postoflces of the world are written-** and sent to people who speak English. There, are substantially 600.000,000 persona speaking colloquially one or another of the ten or twelve chief modern languages, and of these about 25 per cent, or 125,000,000 persons, spoa* English. About 90,000.- 600 apeak Russian, 75,000.000 German, K.000400 French, 45.000,000 Spanish, 35.000400 Italian and 13,000.000 ftartuguese, and the ha*.me* Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic* Roumanian, Swedish, Flnnisn. Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while only one-quarter of those who employ the facilities of the pasta! departments of civilised governments apeak as their native tongue English, two-thirds of those who correspond do so In the English language. The situation arises from the tact that so large a share of the commercial business of the world as done in English, even among thosn w h c d o not speak English as their native language. There are, tor instance. snore than 20.000 postoffices in Inula, the business of which In letters and papers aggregates more than 300.000,- •00 parcels a year, and the business of these offices is uone chiefly in English 'though of India's total population, which is nearly 800.400,000, fewer than 300,000 persons either speak or understand English. Though 90,000,000 speak or understand Russian, the business of the Russian post department Is relatively small, the number of letters seat throughout the tsar's empire nsoomnttngr to less than one-tenth the s a a iM i s G n a t Britain alone, t a e popntstloa of G n a t Britt t o population of lunate in Europe.

" A GLORIOUS R E S T " LAST S U N D A Y ' S SUBJECT. from the T«st of Bflc*fc, Chapter If* •era* 10, »• Follows t "ArlM Ye and Depart, for This U Mot Your R u t " - Drumboat of tho Prophot. This was the drum-beat of a prophet who wanted to arouse his people from their oppressed and sinful condition; bu^ 1* m a y Jll8t £ s properly be uttered now as then. Bells, by long exposure and much ringing, lose their clearness of tone; but this rousing bell of the gospel strikes in as clear a tone as when It first rang on the air. As far aa 1 can see, your great want and mine is rest. From the time wo enter life, a great many vexations and annoyances take after us. We have our holidays and our seasons of recreation and quiet, but where is the man in^hts world who has found entire rest? The fact is that God did not make this world to rest in. A ship might as well go down off Cape Hatteras to find smooth water as a man In this world to find quiet. From the way that God has strewn the thorns, and hung the clouds, and sharpened the tusks; from the colds that distress us and the heats that smite us, and the pleurisies that stab us, and the fevers that consume us, I know that he did not make thiB world as a place to loiter in. God does everything successfully; and this world would be a very different world if it were intended for us to lounge* in. It -dQea.rig.hJt well for a few years. Indeed, it is magnificent! Nothing Tut infinite wisdom and goodness could have mixed this beverage of water, or hung up these brackets of stars, or trained these voices of rill, and bird, and ocean—so that God has but to lift his hand, and the whole world breaks forth into orchestra. But after all, it is only the splendors of a king's highway, over which we are to march on to eternal conquests. You and I have seen men who tried to rest here. They builded themselves great stores. Tbey gathered around them patronage of merchant princes. The voice of their bid shook the money markets. They had stock in the most successful railroads, and in safe deposit vaults great rolls of government securities. They had emblazoned carriages, high-mettled steeds, footmen, plate that confounded lords and senators who sat at their table, tapestry on which floated the richest designs of foreign looms, splendor ol canvas on the wall, exquisUeness of music rising among pedestals of bronze, and dropping, soft as light, on snow of sculpture. Here let them rest. Put back the embroidered curtain, and Bhake up the pillow of down. Turn out the lights. It is 11 o'clock at night. Let slumber drop upon the eyelids, and the air float through the half-opened lattice, drowsy with midsummer perfume. Stand back, all care, anxiety, and trouble! But no! they will not stand back. They rattle the lattice. They look under the canopy. With rough touch they startle his pulses. They cry out at 12 o'clock at night, "Awake, man; how can you sleep when things are so uncertain? What about those stocks? Hark to the Up of that fire-bell; it is your district. How, if you should die soon? Awake, man! Think of it! Who will get your property when you are gone? What will they do with it? Wake up! Riches sometimes take wings. How if you should get poor? Wake up!" Rising on one elbow, the man of fortune looks out into the darkness of the room, and wipes the dampness from his forehead and says, "Alas! For all this scene of wealth and magnificence— no rest!" The very world that now applauds will soon hiss. That world said of the great Webster, "What a statesman! What wonderful exposition ot the constitution! A man fit for any position!" That same world- said, after a while, "Down with him! - He is an office-seeker. He is a s o t He is a libertine. Away with him!" And there is no peaces for the man until he lays down his broken heart in the grave at Marshfield. While Charles Matthews was performing in trondon, before immense audiences, one day a worn-out and gloomy man came into a doctor's s'hop, 'saying, "Doctor, what can you do for me?" The doctor examined his ease and said, "My. advice is that you go and see Charles Matthews." "Alas! Alas!" said the man, "I myself am Charles Matthews."' Jeffrey thought that If he could only be judge, that would be the making of him; got to be judge, and cursed the day in which he was bore. Alexander wanted to submerge the world with his greatness; submerged it, and then drank himself to death because he could not stand the trouble. Burns thought he would give everything if he could win the favor of courts and princes; won it, and amid the shouts of a great entertainment, when posts, orators and duchesses were adoring his genius, wished that he could creep back into the obscurity in whieh he dwelt on the day when he wrote of tho •tipped Napoleon wanted to make all Irarope tremble at his power; made It tremble, then died, his entire military achievements dwindling down to a pair of military boots which he insisted on having on his feet when dying. At Versailles I aaw a picture of Napoleon in his triumphs, X went Into another room and saw a bust of Napoleon as he appeared at St. Helena; but oh, what grief and anguish in the faco of the latter 1 The first was Napoleon in triumph, the last was Napoleon with his {heart broken. How they laughed and cried when silver-tongued Sheridan,*, in the mid-day of prosperity, harrangued the people of Britain; and how they howled at and execrated him when, outside of the room where his corpse lay, his creditors tried to get his miserable bones and sell them. This world for rest? "Aha!" cry the waters, "no rest here—we plunge to the sea." "Aha!" cry the mountains, "no rest here—we crumble to the plain." "Aha!" cry the towers, "no rest here— we follow Babylon, and Thebes and Nineveh into the dust." No rest for the flowers; they fade. No rest for the stars; they die. No rest for man; he must work, toll, suffer and slave. Now, for what have I said all this? Just to prepare you for the text: "Arise, ye and depart; for this is not your rest." I am going to make you a grand offer. Some of you remember that when gold was discovered in California, large companies were made up and smarted off to get their fortune, and a year ago for the same purpose hundreds dared the cold of Alaska. Today I want to make up a party for the land of Gold. I hold in my hand a deed from the Proprietor of the estate, in which he offers to all who will Join the company ten thousand shares of Infinite value, in a city whose streets are gold, whose harps are gold, whose crownu are gold. You have read of the Crusaders—how that many thousands of them went off to conquer the Holy Sepulchre. I ask you to join a grander crusade—not for the purpose of conquering the sepulchre of a dead Christ, but for the purpose of reaching the throne of a living Jesus. When an army is to be made up, the recruiting officer examines tne volunteers; be tests their eyesight; he sounds their lungs; he measures their stature; they must be Just right, or they are rejected. But there shall be no partiality in making up this army of Christ. Whatever your moral or physical stature, whatever your dissipations, whatever yo'ir crimes, whatever your Weaknesses, I have a commission from the Lord Almighty to make up this regiment of redeemed souls, and I Cry, "Arise, ye, and depart; for this is not your rest." Many of you have lately joined this company, and my desire fs that you all may join it. Why not? You know in your own hearts' experience that what I have said about thl« world Is true—that it is no place to rest In. There are hundreds here weary— oh, how weary—weary with sin; weary with trouble; weary with bereavement. Some of you have been pierced through and through. You carry the scars of a' Bcore of conflicts, in which you have bled at every pore; and you sigh, ''Oh, that I had the wings of a dove that I might fly away and be at rest!" You have taken the cup of this world's pleas ures and drunk it to the dregs, and still the thirst claws at your tongue, and the fever strikes to your brain. You have chased pleasure through every valley, by every stream, amid ever brightness, and under every shadow; but just at ihe moment when you were all ready to [iut your hand upon the rosy, laughing sylph of the wood, she turned upon you with the glare of a fiend and the eye of a satyr, her locks adders, and her breath the chill damp of a grave. Out of Jesus Christ no rest. No voice to sience the storm. No light to kindle the darkness. No dry dock to repair the split bulwark. Thank God, I can tell you something better. If there is no rest on earth, there is rest in heaven. Oh, ye who are worn out with work, your hands calloused, your backs bent, your eyes half put out, your fingers worn with the needle, that In this world you may never lay <*own; ye discouraged ones, who have. ««en waging a hand-to-hand fight for bread; ye to whom the night brings little rest and the morning more drudgery—oh, ye of the weary hand and the weary side, and the weary foot, bear me talk about rest! Look at that company of enthroned o n e s It can not be that those bright ones ever toiled? Yes! yes! These packed the Chinese tea boxes, and through missionary instruction escaped into glory. These sweltered on southern plantations, and one night, after the cotton picking, went up as white as If they had never been black. Those died of overtoil in the Lowell carpet factories, and these in Manchester mills; those helped build the pyramids, and these broke away from work on the day Christ was hounded out of Jerusalem: No more towers to bulldr heaven Is done. No more garments to weave; the robes are finished. No more harvests to raise; the garners are fall. Oh, sons and daughters of toll! arise ye and depart, for that Is your rest Soovlll M'Callum, a boy of my Sunday school, while dying, said to his mother. "Doot cry, but stag, stag, " There is rest for tho weary, There is rent for the : Then putting hj* w*atH.k*u4-,*«•*, his heart* he said. "There is rest for m e . " • ' ' - J-". But there are some of us -%ho want to hear about the land Where tn*y never have any heartbreaks, and no graves are dug. Where are your father and mother? The most of you are orphans, I look around, and where I see one man who has parents llvinav i see ten who are orphans. Where are your children? Where X tee one f a n - lly circle that Is unbroken, I see three or four that have been desolated. One lamb gone out 9* this fold; one flower plucked from that garland; one golden link broken from that chain; here a bright light put out, and fchere another and yonder another. With such griefs, how are you to rest? Will there ever be a power that can attune that silent voice, or kindle the luster of that closed eye, or put spring and dance into that little foot? When we bank up the dust over the dead; is the sod never to be broken? Is the cemetery to hear no sound but the tire of the heareewheel, or the tap of the bell at the gate as the long procession come in with their awful burdens of grief? Is the bottom of the grave gravel, and the 'op dust? No! no! no! The tomb is only a place where we wrap our robes about us for a pleasant nap on our way home. The swellings of Jordan will only wash off the dust on the way. From the top of the grave we catch a glimpse of the towers glinted with the sun that never sets. Oh, ye whose locks are wet with the dews of the night of grief; ye whose hearts are heavy, because those wellknown footsteps sound no more at the doorway, yonder is your rest! There is David triumphant; hut once he hemoaned Absalom. There is Abraham enthroned; but once he wept for Sarah,. There is Paul exultant; but he once sat with his feet in the stocks. Thetre is Payson radiant with immortal health; but on earth he was always sick. No toil, no tears, no partings, no strife, no agonizing cough, no niglit. No storm to ruffle the crystal sea. No alarm to strike from the cathedral to.vers. No dirge throbbing from seraphic harps. No tremor in the everlasting song; but rest—perfect rest—unending rest. Into that rest how many loved ones have gone! Some put down the work of mid-life, feeling they could hardly be spared from the store or shop for a day, but are to be spared from it forever. Seme went in old age. One came tottering.qn his staff, and used to sit at the foot of the pulpit, his wrinkled face radiant with the light that falls from, the throne ot Qbd> Another having lived a life of Christian consistency here, ever busy with kindnesseaMot her. children, her heart fo/1 of thae-meek dnd quiet s p i r t l t h a U s in tho eight of God of gieat pries, auddenly her countenance was transfigured and the gate was opened, and she took her place amid that great cloud of witnesses that hover about the throne! Glorious conaolaWLon! They are -iot dead. You cannot make me believe they are dead. They have only mov«»d on. With more love than that with which they greeted us on earth, they watch us from their, high place, and their voices cheer us in our struggle for the sky. Hail, spirits bles3ed! now that ye have passed the flood and won the crown. With weary feet we press up the shining way, until in everlasting reunion we shall meet again. Oh! won't it be grand when, our conflicts done and our partings over, we shall clasp hands and cry out, "This is heaven?" By the thrones of your departed kindred, by their gentle hearts, and the tenderness and love with which they now call you from the skies, I beg you start on the nigh road to heaven. In the everlasting rest may we all meet. One of the old writers wished he could have seen three things: Rome in Its prosperity, Paul preaching, Christ in the body. I have three wish-3: First—To see Christ in glory .surrounded by his redeemed. Second—To sVev Christ in glory, surrounded by his redeemed. Thlrd°*-To see Christ in glory, surroun€ed by his redeemed.. When on my new-fledged wings I rise, To tread those shores beyond the skies, I'll run through every golden street, And ask each blissful soul I m e e t - Where is the God whose praise ye sing? 01 lead me stranger to your King. 8AJLED FOR'MANILA. \rr <r '• Bp*«Jfk V**t Vstfer ftup»>* to go to the FhUiftplae*. via tew Hues Gaaal* Washington: The state department has received advices confirming the report that the Spanish Catfis squadron l a i n the'Mediterranean moving-east* A Madrid'correspondent says that SenorSagasta informed the chamber of deputies that Admiral Camara's squadron wee on the way to' t h e ' P h i l - ippines, yjsrtho Suea oa-aal. London: If Spain's reserve fleet goesthrough the Suez canal Its commander will have to pay about $122,0'Qu down. In gold, as canal tolls before the vessels enter the waterway. Port Said: Admiral Camara's squadron is in tho harbor awaiting orders. It cons'sts of the battleship PeTayo, Admiral Camara's flagship, crew S65 men; armored cruiser Emperndor Carlos V, 561 men; auxiliary cruiser Patrlota, equipped with 13-inch, guns and troops and marines; liarriere. crew 850 and 200 troop**; auxiliary cruiser Buenos Ayres, 10 guns, carrying stores, crew 181), troops 703; torpedo boat destroyer Audaz, 73 men; armed merchantman Isla de Panay, crew 103, troops 703; auxiliary cruiser Rapido, 12 guns, crew U38, troops 200; steamship Colon, -unarmed, cargo stores, crew 120; torpedo boat destroyer ProHorpina, 72 men; torpedo boat destroyer, Osada, 72 men; transport Covudonga, cargo stores, crew 120; collier Francisco, cargo ammunition, crew 08. Except the Carlos V., the Patriota, the Audaz and Proserpina, the whole fleets presents a forlorn appearance. All the other vessels show very foul bottoms and are in an extremely untidy, neglected condition. The soldiers^ miserably clad and evidently ill-fed and discontented, are confined on shipboard. The Egyptian government has refused Camara's Spanish fleet permission to coal at Port Said or in Egyptian, waters. Washington: Officials have been somewhat doubtful about Camara's fleet going to the Philippines, but there is no fear of its not beings well taken care of wherever it does turn up. This squadron is the most formidable Spain has afloat in total tonnage, strength of individual ships, armor and guns. The Pelayo is the strongest of the ships and is the only battleship in the Spanish navy. It and the Carlos V. are the only armored ships in the lot and it is felt that Admiral Dewey can handle them as the monitor Monterey will reach him before Camara gets anywhere near Manila. Gen. MtlM Goes W i t h Next Expedition. Washington: Preparations for hurry ing reinforcements to Gen. Shaftcr and for the Porto Rican expedition are progressing as fast as possible. Gen. Shafter's orders are to send back to T»U«w Candl«4 m% * Da^nt*. , To most people a tallow candle appeara more" in {Se'way of a necessity than 'iriuniry, but^'the Russian bluejackets who one enjoying shore leave lust-now from tho Rossit and the Admiral Nakimoff appear to find in assimilating candies of the Chinese make as mdeh gusto as an English child would have m eating a sugar stick. The other day a party of atsiwart Muscovite bluejackets were to he seen, along the Queen's road, and the aridity srlth which thejr polished off joss candles was a sight tor the gods. Some of the men, who were evidently petty officers, elected to dine o t candles as thick as one's ana—regular No. 1 joss pidgin arrangements— gad strisssII of grease trickled from the corner at each sett's mouth. British and American Jacks like their beer and runt, hut they drsvw tallow Tampa as maloy of the transports as he can spare. It is Stated officially that Gen, Miles would command the next expedition which leaves the United States. On the arrival of the force at Santiago, Gen. Miles, by virtue of his position, will assume active command of ail the forties in the field, and as soon as the city falls he will undertake in person the leadership of subsequent . campaigns, whether against Porto Ricp or various. Cuban points, 'ibe number of reinforcement* which are to be sent to Shafter will be an expedition nearly as formidable as that whieh he now has with him. After Santiago has been redueed and captured by the American forces there will b3 an ample number to leave in the province to preserve order and hold the place while the remainder may be used for the Porto Rico expedition. In addition to the 32 transports utilised by Gen. Shafter, the war department has chartered all other vessels which are available for immediate use* .The war department has- a n n ^ u e e d tfee purchase of eight trans^ti^nt^c liners, seven of them of ^ e j i g ^ ^ w capacity than any of the Americttn transports heretofore chartered, «nd as many of these vessels as can be made ready in time will be utilized. ,,' . * i i t " • i r '• i > « f T W M A « * E T * * t ; LI«£ STOCK.

At the time of the Franco-Prussian war it was estimated that, for every man who was killed, the enemy expended ammunition enough to equal -hte-wsight.-A hotly contested -field was hlmost a battle in the dark, because of the smoke-clouds that masked the combatants and made their missiles ineffective. In the warfare of the future—to some extent, in that of the present—the use of smokeless powder is likely, especially in naval conflicts, to give good marksmanship an overpowering advantage. Smokeless powder was invented in America some twenty years ago, but France was the first nation to utilize it. She made vigorous attempts to keep the composition secret, even holding each soldier responsible for the number of cartridges served out to him! But that did not deter experimenters elsewhere; and,.as a matter of 'act, the ordnance bureaus of every nation are still experimenting. The problem of the best composition Is complicated by the curious fact that each class and calibre of gun seems to require a special sort of powder. Smokeless powder has, however, beon adapted to the thirty-calibre rifle an«l army, and toTHe" navy's breech-loading rifles and rapidfiring guns of all calibres up to six inches. Guncotton is the base of this powder, which is so far true to its name that it gives off only a light, bluish-white vapor. It is safe to handle yet in some respects it has the qualities of a "hi&rh explosive." For instance it takes five hundred and fifty pounds of brown prismatic powder to charge one of the Indiana's thirteen-inch guns; but three hundred and fifty pounds of smokeless powder would suffice for this and give the projectile much greater velocity. One serious objection to the new powder is its erosive effect on the gun. Ordnance experts say that this is counterbalanced by the Increase in power. They add that the use of the powder will lead to an Increase in accuracy of fire; and this Is obvious, though, perhaps, it does sttt appeal to us so forcibly as it may to other nations. The battle of Manila has just reminded us that Inaccuracy of fire is not an American weakness. Darky EsurUah. Every great language has its mock lingoes and clipped dialects. The common people make one of their own, and every tribe of adopted foreigners In our country has its peculiar and amusing vernacular. Generally it resembles the original very much as a monkey resembles a man. Darky English, like the grotesque blunderwords of the supposed Mrs. Partington, nearly always has a phonetic suggestion that makes the speaker's meaning laughably clear. The fat old cook in Lynchburg, Vs., who complained that her son "Sam's Coin'a on is conjurln' his institution sn' dlsriptin' us all" had the word "disreputable" echoing round somewhere in her head. She made herself understood, and there was piquancy in her new verb. The colored servant who reported that her mistress was "tick wld nervous perfection" conveyed the doctor's diagnosis—and sprung a droll possibility besides. &ev. Egerton R. Young describes to us one of his evenings in sn African church in Florida, where the minister announced "de fus* chapter of the Epistle o' David." and proceeded to read the First Psalm. One fiery yjung exhorter in the meeting, with exemplary good taste, confined his remarks to tbose of his own age.

None of the prayers were good English, but "We bow down on de bended an' syndicated knees of our body to beg a humble blessln'," somehow seemed to get singular emphasis from the Imported adjective; and O Lord, dellbber us from upsettin' sins, an* prop us up on de tippln'-over side," certainly left nothing to be desired In directness and graphic force. At the close of the service the pastor called attention to the rain-soaked and stained plaster in the recess sack of the pulpit, which he had long tried in vain to persuade his shiftless parishioners to fresco, and he pronounced his ultimatum in this wise: "Bredren, de guvices in dls church am over." Stroked t h e W r o n g Way. Dr. Edward Everett Hale has been telling the charity workers of Philadelphia that "whatever relief is given to a poor man no good is done him unless something is done to make him a better" man. Doctor Hale is too intelligent and just to assume that all poor men are morally degraded, or that all well-to-do men are morally superior. Yet It is probably true that a majority of those who are willingly dependent upon charity are feeble In intellect, In conscience, or in both. The saddest poverty la that of the spirit. Those who go among the poor to seek their elevation have need of the same subtle tact and respectful sympathy which are required in dealing successfully with human nature In every department of life. Doctor Wines tells of a visitor who entered a poor woman's home, helped herself to a seat and began with the awful question: "Does your husband _drinkl" "No," replied the insulted wife. "Does yours?" He adds the story of an Indianapolis klndergartner who called at the door of a really degraded woman and was met In a mood of sullen defiance. "Did you come from the mission?" demanded the woman. "No." "Are you going to preach me a sermon?" "No." "Did you bring a Bible?" "No. I came from the kindergarten, and want to talk to you about your little boy." "Come in.» There is a proverb which says, "Against the grain, nothing goes." The mission and Bible people had probably failed to secure the good will of this woman because they stroked their poor sister the wrong way. None Could Interpret H i m . From the Philadelphia Public Ledger: Pittsburg—A singular cause for adjourning a court earne-upday. While the courts in Allegheiy county are provided ag:inst almost every possible emergency that may arise in a polyglot community, Judge Shafer of Common Pleas Court No. 2 had to adjourn this morning because some «ssential witnesses could only talk in a language for which no interpreter was obtainable; Tipstaves and interpreters who command twenty-three languages could not make out a witness in a damage suit against the Consolidated Traction company. All of the Interpreters were sent for, but they had to give it up, and court adjourned. The Silver In the Treasury. Wall Street News: Responding to a resolution of inquiry the secretary of the treasury yesterday sent to the senate a statement showing the amount of silver In the treasury, the amount of treasury notes isued for silver bullion, etc. The statement shows that on May 1 there were 109,355,514 ounces of silver bullion, the cost of which was $98,874,662 and the coinage value $141,- 233,089, leaving a qelgnorage of $42,- 488,427.

Uppincott's Magazine: A young nssn lately went west, ss so many do, to seek his fortune in the gold snd silver districts.

But this fellow, after looking about him. took s cool survey of the food possibilities of this country for one year. And he discovered that the market would be short on that home vegetable—onions. So he set to work snd bought up onions. In fact, he cornered onions. And in less than two years he made a fortune of over $2,000,000. . n H e r M a j e s t y e M e a n Cards.

JL_Vnisop wflfl home for the- ThrUUnf Experience at Soutli Ad-lcan Water*. Durban Letter hi the Cape Argus: One of the local divers named Batten has experienced a shock aud a narrow escapt. He had been engaged to recover a few heavy rails which had fallen overboard between a steamer and the main wharf. The rails were found, and one had been hauled to the surface, when Batten perceived a young shark swimming around him. Having omitted to arm himself with the uaual diver's knife, Batten moved to the boat and secured a weapon, Intending to stab the shark if opportunity presented itself. On descending to the bottom again, however, Batten did not fit* the prowling "monster," and proceeded to the rails which remained to bt hoisted, He was about to attack the next rail when, te his surprise and alarm, he notioed a huge shark, approximately iixteen feet long, lying right across the rails. The diver was In a quandary, because retreat from such a monster was exceedingly dangerous, while open hostilities with the knife would have been almost suicidal, not only on account of the size of the shark, but on account of Its being literally sheathed with barnacles. Further, although the shark lay almost motionless, not a single rail could be touched without disturbing it. With a view to frightening the shark Batten suddenly released all the air contained Geuulae Article* Now So Bar* M to Aluiont Priceleaa. Dr. W. H. Work of Charlestown has returned from a trip to Arizona and has brought back with him several Navajo blankets. "But," he remarked sorrowfully, "they are not what they used to be. The Navajoa are too Improvident and lazy to make such blankets as they used to make in the years gone by and before the white man began to hanker after that particular weave. The blankets now turned out are pitiful and tawdry affairs compared with those of bygone times. Those of today can be bought for about |30, while a real old-fashioned blanket Is really priceless and cannot now be bought. Those ancient blankets were half an inch thick and would hold water as well as a wooden tub. The finest of them are found burled with bodies of dead chiefs and they are particularly indestructible. The women who weave the blankets of today can make the old-fashioned blankets Just as well, for they know the secret of manufacture, but the cheaper blanket Is easily sold and takes only a short time to make, while it would take nearly a year to weave one of the real blanketB, those glorious* combinations of colors and materials, one of which would easily be worth $100. They have exquisite color sense, these women, and blend their materials perfectly. The coloring is fast, and is made of vegetable and mineral matter, the secret of the making being handed down from generation to generation. A tribe can be known by the color scheme of its blankets. The deelgfis-^ vary greatly. Sometimes -religious ceremonies are typified, sometimes tribal and sometimes personal history or other themes, all of which may be read by those skilled in the sign and color language of these Indians. How are the blankets made? Oh, the manner is very primitive and seems simple enough. They are woven on upright frames by hand 4and the threads are pounded together as tight as possible. But the glory of the Navajo blanket has departed and I expect before many years the secret of their making will be lost." » , PALMED HIS CONTRIBUTION. Sleight of Hatul at a Church Collection Fool* the Deacon. Many years ago, when Joseph Marsden lived in Hawaii, he attended | church on Sunday morning In Hik>, Mr. Marsden was then noted for his skill ! in legerdemain. When Dr. pass- | ed around the contribution bag at a . Sunday service Mr. Marsden held up a j $10 gold piece between hlB thumb and forefinger so that Dr. could plainly see It. He then placed his hand over the bag, palmed the gold piece and dropped In a silver quarter. Dr. — returned to the table with his collection. After the service he emptied the , bag on a table, but could not find the , $10 gold piece. He shook the bag repeatedly, turned over the small pile of j contributions, got down on the floor and looked under the table, walked I down the aisle, looked closely at the | cracks in the floor, felt In his own pockets, fearing that he had made • some mistake, and then went home j wondering at the strange loss of the gold piece. Some time afterward the deceiver quietly sent the gold piece to the church.—Pacific Commercial Advertiser. Sober Second T h o u g h t . Ethei—"13ut he was so devoted to her!

A retired army officer who served through the late unpleasantness was asked which were the best fighters, regulars or volunteer!. "Well, both are brave enough, but the volunteers would fight longer than the regulars." "How do you account for that?" "That's easy.

Amsterdam, in Holland, is built on piles driven far below the water Into the earth. The city is intersected by many canals, which are spanned by nearly three hundred bridges, and resembles Venice in the mingling of land and water, though it is considerably larger than that city.

Canals 6erve as streets in Venice, and boats, called gondolas, for carriage*. The bridges are, as a rule, very steep, rising considerably in the middle, but have easy steps.

The Venetians Joined the Lombard league against the German emperor, and, In 1177, gained a great victory, in defenae of Alexander III, over the fleet of war vessels headed by Otto, son of Frederic Barbarossa. In gratitude for this victory the Pope gave the Doge Zlanl a ring, and instituted the world-famous ceremony of "Venice marrying the Adriatic sea." In this ceremony the Doge, ae the chief ruler of Venice used to be termed, with appropriate ceremonies dropped a ring into the sea every year in recognition of the wealth and trade carried to Venice by the Adriatic.

Feb. 1 7 , 1 8 9 8 . ltat*&r& Thursday morning at about one o'clock, while our little village was wrapped in slumber, the cry of fire was heard and the bells rang out a peal for aid. It was but a short time before a large delegation was dressed and on tbe scene of destruction, which proved to be Swarthout Bros, bean bouse and elevator near the By. Tbe fire had already made such a start that it was impossible to try and put it oat so the attention of all was directed to saving Thos. Read's lumber yard and elevator. By tearing down a large shed and removing thousands of shingle, the space was broadenedand the fire could be kept away from the lumber as there was no wind. Had there been a wind blowing from the west, nothing could have saved Mr. Bead's yard or anything on the line. The Swarthout elevator was fall of beans ready for shipment, but nothing could be saved and inside of one hour all was a mass of ruins. They carried 1700 insurance on the building and $1,800 on the beans. This will not meet the lo&s bat it will help. The building will probably be re-built, Mr. Reads loss will amount to the cost of about 10,000 shingle, fully covered by insurance. As to the orign of tbe fire, it is and probably always will remain a mystery. 4 At this time of the year, all horses need protection from the flies.

Hvpwumf-'r*'• - *«*r*mu&t>J& HSCM M I I The Spanish Attempted to Escape from Santiago Harbor. EVERY VESSEL DEMOLISHED. American Warship* Poured a Terrlfl* Storm of Shot and Shell Into the Fleeing- Spaniards — 350 Spaniards Killed, 1,000 Taken Prisoners. Washington: The secretary of the navy has received the following from Admiral Sampson: The fleet under my command offers the nation as a Fourth of July present the destruction of the whole of Cer- •era's fleet. Not one vessel escaped. The fleet attempted to escape at 9 a. m. and at 3 p. m. the last, the Cristobal Colon, had run ashore 60 mile* we&t of Santiago and had let down her colors. The Infanta Isabella (Maria Teresa), Oquendo and Vizcaya were forced ashore, burned and blown up within 20 miles of Santiago; the Furor and Pluton were destroyed within four miles of the port. Our loss, one killed and two wounded. Enemy's loss probably several hundred from gun fire, explosions and drowning. About 1,500 prisoners, including Admiral Cervera. The man killed was Geo. H. Ellis, chief yoeman of the Brooklyn. SAMPSON. The Associated Pre« dispatches report the glorious victory as follows: Admiral Cervera's fleet, consisting of the armored cruisers Cristobal Colon. Almirante Oquendo, Infanta Maria Teresa and Vizcaya and two torpedo boat destroyers, the Furor and the Pluton, which had been held in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba for six weeks past by the combined squadrons of Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, now lies at the bottom of the Caribbean sea off the southern coast of Cuba. The Spanish admiral Is a prisoner of war on the auxiliary gunboat Gloucester (formerly Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair), and 1.800 to 1,600 other Spanish officers and sailors, all who escaped the frightful carnage caused by the shells from the American warships, are also held as prisoners of war by the United States. The American victory is complete, and the American vessels were practically untouched, and oftly One man was killed, though the ships w ere subjected to the heavy fire of the Spaniards all the time the battle lasted. Admiral Cervera made as gallant a dash for liberty and for the preservation of his skips as has ever occurred in the history of naval warfare. In the face of overwhelming odds, with nothing be ford him but inevitable deabruption n> ftiiownHnr <f__h^, wmiinixj any longer io the trap in which the American flet t held him, he made a bold dash fro: a the harbor at the time the America* s least expected him to do so, and, fig sting every inch of the way, even when his ship was ablaze and sinking, he tried to escape the doom which was written on the muzzle of every American gun trained upon his vessels. It was about 9 o'clock in the-morning when the flagship Infanta Maria Teresa passed under the wall of Morro castle and steamed out to sea. She was followed by the Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya and Oquendo and last by the torpedo boat destroy era Furor and Pluton. The lookout on the American vessels, which were lying five to ten miles off the entrance to the harbor, sighted them immediately. Most of the American cruisers were without thought of anything a* surprising as the Spanish fleet getting past the sunken collier Metritaac. There was great excitement at bnce and very rapid action along the American lines. The signal for fall speed ahead was running from bridge to engine room of every ship, and the entire fleet commenced to move in shore toward the Spanish and the great 12 and 13-inch guns of the battleships and the smaller batteries on the other vessel* fired shot after shot. As the ships ran in toward the shore it soon became evident that the Span* . lards had not come out to make an aggressive fight, for as soon as they had " cleared the harbor they started on their i ace for safety, at the same time sending answering shots at the American ships as fast as the men could load and fire the guns. The Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Texas, Oregon and Iowa were nearer the Spaniards than any others of the American vessels, but still most of them were too far away to get an effective range. They crowded on all steam, however, in preparation far the chase, never stopping their Are for one moment. The Gloucester, a fast little yacht that cannot boast of any heavier batt e r / than several G-pounders and 3 pounders, was lying off Aguadores, three smiles east of Morro, when the gpaaiards came out. At first she Joined in the attack upon a large vessel* aad then held off some. Lieut. Wain- Sfriffct concluding to reserve his efthe two torpedo boat destroy- The Gloucester steamed when they appeared and to a point five miles west Of Morro, pouring shot after shot into all the time. Her efforts bore fruit, for to her belongs the ersaU for t h e destruction of both of t h e destroyer*. She fired 1,400 shots s t a t i c the chase, and it was not long )efore both destroyers, yerepn.**.^ and >lalnly disabled. Both put in tovard ,hore with smoke pouring from their <ides; the crews took to. the boats and made for land, about half of them reaching shore in safety. By that1 time he Furor was a mass of flamed and vaa drifting about helplessly. The Pluton was in the same distressed con lition and was headed for the shore, running up alongside of a low bluff, where she soon pounded to pieces and anally broke in two completely. The Gloaeester did not go any further west, but lay off shore and sent in * boat to the assistance of the crews of the destroyer* It did not take the dames long to reach the Furor's magazines, and there were two terrific explosions, probably of the gun cotton on board. Her stern sank immediately ind as it settled in the water her bow rose straight into the air and she went to the bottom in perpetual oblivion, giving out a hissing, scalding sound as nhe disappeared below the surface. Meantime the larger American ships were gaining on the Spanish cruisers and a storm of shots was passing between the pursuer and the pursued. The American fire was so rapid that the ships were enveloped in thick clouds of smoke and it was irapo sible to tell at the distance which vessels were doing the greater execution. The Brooklyn,Commodore Schley's flagship, was in the lead and with the five battleships kept up an incessant firing* upon the Infanta Maria Teresa, the Vizcaya and the A mirante Oquendo and the latter were returning the fire bravely, though with no success. The Spanish gunners seemed unable to get the pre'per range and many of their shots were very wild, though a number of them fell dangerously near the mark. The guns of the battery just east of Morro also took ± .rt in the game and tneir shells fell around the American ships. The Brooklyn was struck half a dozen times, but was not badly damaged and had only one man killed and one injured. The Spanish admiral's flagship and the Oquendo were the first to show signals of distress. Two 0-inch shells from one of the battleships struck the Maria Teresa at the water line, tearing great holes in her side and causing her to fill rapidly. The Oquendo suffered about the same fate and both ships headed for a small cove and went asrround 200 yards from the shore, flames shooting from them in every direction. The officers and crew must have been aware of the fate which seemed to be before them, but it was not until the ships were on fire and enveloped in flames and smoke that the men ceased firing. The Gloucester, after sending a boat ashore to the Pluton, steamed along "the coast to where the armored rruisers_ were stranded and went to their assistance. There was danger from the magazines and many of those on board jumped into the sea and swam to the shore, although a number were unable to reach the small strip of sandy beach in the cove and were thrown against the rocks and killed or drowned. Many of the wounded were lowered into the ships' own boats and taken ashore, but this task was a most difficult one. The Gloucester sent all her boats to the rescue and many on the flagships, including Admiral Cervera, lowered themselves into them with ropes. The wounded were taken to the Gloucester as rapidly as possible and the lower deck of the yacht was soon covered with Spanish sailors mangled in limb and body by the bursting of shells. The Gloucester's crew gave the wounded men every' attention possible. Admiral Cervera escaped to the shore in a boat sent by the Gloucester to the assistance of the Infanta Maria Teresa, and as soon as he touched the beach he surrendered himself and his command to Lieut. Morton and asked to be taken on board the Gloucester, which was the only American vessel near him at the time, with several of his officers, including, the captain of the flagship. The Spanish admiral,, who was also wounded in the arm, Was taken to the Gloucester and was received at her gangway by her commander, Lieut - Commander Richard Wainwright, who placed his cabin at the disposal of the Spanish, officers. The Cristobal Colon was the fastest of the Spanish pi rips, and she soon obtained a lead- over the others-rafter leaving the harbor and escaped theef; fect of the shot* which destroyed the other vessels. She steamed awajrwieh great speed, with the Oregon, Mew York, Brooklyn and several ether ships in pursuit, all ef them firing at her constantly and receiving fire themselves from hereafter guns. The Cristobal Colon w«« rem ashore 45 miles west "of Sasfttapo byfcer commander when he found 4fca% escape was impossible. The entice tattle was fought and won within An hour. The Spanish loss is about 3 » killed or drowned. MA seriously woundud and 1,600 captured. The fleet of Admiral Cereal* was one of the finest S]tain possessed. Four of the vessels, th<5 Almirante OqUendo, the Infanta Maria Teresa, the Vizcaya, and the Cristobal Colon were modern armored cruisers of the first class. Th«: .Vizcaya visited the United States soon after the Maine was sent to Havana, and was in New York harbor when the news of the destruction of the Amorican .battleship was received br b»>r cW^nmnnder. The American Forces Engage the Spanish at Santiago and CAPTURE THEIff OUTPOSTS, American, by Their Bnthnslasni and Aggressiveness Drive the Dots From Their Strong Intrenchmeots—S»mpsou's Fleet Bombarded the Forts. Washington; A general assault on the city of Santiago de Cuba, by the land and naval forces of the United States, began at 7 o'clock on the morning of July 1. Gen. Lawton advanced and took possession of Cabona.a suburb of Santiago. Morro castle and the other forts at the entrance of the harbor were bombarded by Sampson's fleet. The Vesuvius used her dynamite guns with good effect. The Spanish fleet in the harbor fired on the American troops, who were close to the city. Washington: The war department has received the following from Gen. Shafter, dated at Sibonev: Had a very heavy engagement which lasted from 8 a. m. until sundown. We have carried the Spanish outworks and are now in possession of them. There is now about three-quarters of a mile of open between my lines and the city. lJy morning troops will be intrenched and considerable augmentation of forces will be there. Gen. Law ton's division and Gen. Kates' brigade, which have been engaged all day in carrying El Caney, which was accomplished at 4 p. in., will be in line and in front of Santiago during the night. I regret to say that our casualties will,be above 400. Of these not many killed. SHAFTER. Later reports: The battle began just at daylight at a point eight miles from Juragua and four miles northeast of the outer fortifications of Santiago. The general order for an advance had been issued by Maj.-Gen. Shafter at dark and by midnight every man in camp knew that a desperate struggle would come with the dawn. The news put the troops in a fever of excitement. At 4 o'clock hundreds of bugles rang out the reveille and before the sun had risen the great line was complete. To the extreme left was Gen. Duffield. with the 33d Michigan, his command having reached the Aguadores bridge by train. Next, to the northeast, was Gen. Kent's division, a mile and a half from the sea, and held as a reserve force. The center of the line was held by a cavalry division, which until (Jen. Wheeler arrived at nooa was commanded by Gen. Sumner, Owing to Gen. Young's illness. Col. Woods, of the rough riders, commanded his brigade which consisted of the First and "Tenth relgnTar~cavelry,~the1*irftt »ulunteer cavalry (rough riders) and one bat* talion of the Ninth regular cavalry, alt dismounted with the exception^ of two troops', the extreme right was- under Gens. Lawton and Chaffee, fully five miles from the sea. It had been arranged that Gen. Duffield should make a feint of attacking Aguadores in order to draw attentionfrom the main movement, and at ft o'clock Gen. Lawton's troops moved forward, led by a battery of artillery under command of Capt. Allyn Capron. Every man in the army carried three days' rations and ammunition. The first shot was fired from the battery by Capt. Capron, whose son, Capt. Allyn K. Capron, of the rough riders, was killed in the battle at Sevilla. The shot was directed at Caney, where the Spanish were in force and it fell in the heart of the town. The firing continued 20 minutes without response. Meantime the cavalry division had moved forward on the main Santiago trail, headed by a light battery of the Second artillery under Capt. Grimes. The movement of this battery was a heart-breaking task, owing to the mud in the valley and a steep hill. Under the musketry fire of the cavalrymen the Spaniards in the little town of El Paso retreated and Capt. Grimes^ battery took up a position there and began a rapid firing into Caney. The guns of the two batteries made the place so hot that the enemy finally retired, having no artillery. After the enemy had been driven from EI Paso 21 shots were fired by Capt. Grimes and Capt. Capron from that position into the outer fortifications of Santiago before a response came. When it did come, however, it was with unexpected accuracy, the shots being from three and five-inch rapid-fire rifles, evidently taken from Admiral Cervera's warships and mounted behind the fortifications. The Spanish gunners raked the hill on which El Paso stands and which meantime had been made headquarters of Gen. Sumner and the Cuban generals, Garcia, Castillo, Capote and Rabi. A detachment of 200 Cubans went forward from El Paso and then Col. Wood with the rough riders, the First and Tenth Cavalry, started down the hillside straight for the enemy's fortifications. Capt Grimes' battery poured a steady fire into the Spaniards to protect Col. Wood's advance. The dismounted cavalry paused on their way through the tangled grass and underbrush and half way down the hillside .selected a good spot to halt, and from there opened and maintained for 20 jninutes a hot fire. The opposing batteries banged away, Capt. Grimes sending a storm of lead down into the • ^ • ! , » , . • •» i i i . i i » i r * ™ * " " ""••'• outer fortifications and the Spaniards pounding away at the hill top with viciouaeersisteace; Most of the'Spanish shells went over the hill tops and fell in a ravine beyond. . Cbl. Wood's command behaved wish great bravery, firing steady and deadly -Ajolleya with the enemy's shells screeching, and bursting over their heads. Twenty minutes of fearfully hot work silenced the Spanish batteries. Ten shots wore sent into them after they ceased firing, but there was no response, and it is presumed the guns were dismounted or the gunners driven off. Away to the left Gen. Lav* ton's division with Chaffee's men and Capron's battery was meanwhile fighting fiercely with the enemy entrenched in and about Caney. The Spaniards contested every inch of ground bitterly and fought with unexpected coolness and courage, but the irresistible onward movement of the Americans slowly forced them back up and beyond Caney. About 11 o'clock the terrific fire from Capt. Capron's guns and the muskets* of the men broke the Spanish line and a retreat began towards the line of outer fortifications. All this time Gen. Sumner had commanded the center owing to Gen. Wheeler's illness, but about U:30 Gen. Wheeler started on the two miles' journey to the front in an ambulance. About half way to the front he met a number of litters bearing wounded men. The veteran general, under protest of the surgeons, immediately ordered his horse, and after personally assisting the wounded into the ambulance, mounted and rode onward. The men burst into frantic cheers which followed the general all along the line. By noon, although still very ill, Gen. Wheeler had established headquarters at his extreme front and center of the line. The hardest fighting of the day was on the right flank, and heavy casualties are reported from there. The advance there was more rapid than at other points on the line, and Gen. Chaffee's brigade was the first to cross the little San Juan river, close to the line of outer fortifications. At 2 o'clock Caney had not been entered by the American troops, but they had pushed on past it, and it was theirs at any time they choose to march into it. At that hour Gen!. Shafter. whose headquarters for the day had been three miles to the rear, went forward to assume personal command of the operations. The fighting continued heavy all along the line the enemy being constantly driven from their. intrenchmenteamd taking refuge in the city, and finally darkness brought a cessation erf hostilities, but not until Caney had been taken, with 2,000 Spanish prisoner**. \ —The only movement—which did not meet with success was Gen. Duffield's attempt to occupy the sea village of Aguadores. The New York, Suwanee and Gloucester shelled and demolished the old fort and t h e rifle pits during the forenoon, drore all the Spaniards from the vicinity and bowled over the parapet from which flew the Spanish fl&gr but owing to the broken railroad bridge Geo. Duffield's troops were unable t o get across the river which separated them from the little town and were compelled t o g o back to Juragua. However, they had hot brushes with the Spaniards in the rzfte pits during the greater portion of the morning and the Michigan, boy*, suffered somewhat —two being killed and three wounded, as follows: Killed-^fobD H. Franklin, of Diamondale; Fsvdiaaad. G. Seabright, of Allegan eeuaty. Wouoded^-Frank Lawson, of Lawson, left arm fractured; Don A. Stark, of Ann Arbor, right arm fractured; Clifford II. Curtis, of Land Lake. AH were members of Co. L, 33d Michigan, which is composed of Sons of Veterans. They were victims of the first shells fired by the Spaniards, who had the line of range on the railroad by whieh the Michigan boys came from Juragua. They were just forming* in line for an advance when a shell from a three-inch cannon exploded in the ranks of Co. L. The Cubans behaved with skill and valor and rendered valuable aid. Gen. Garcia and the other Cuban generals led the troops in person and showed great coolness in tight places. The Spanish fought stubbornly throughout, and the retreat, though steady, was slowly and coolly conducted. They contested every inch of the way and fought with unexpected skill, their officers handling the troops with bravery and good judgement. As in all of their fighting, so far, however, they did most of their work under cover, rarely showing themselves in large bodies in the open. While Gen. Shatters men were driving the Spanish into Santiago the American fleet was bombarding Morro Castle and the other forts at the entrance of the harbor. The Vesuvius used her dynamite guns with good effect. The following day Sampson's vessels also pounded sway on the farts and the Punta Gorda batteries. When he thought he bad given a sufficiently large dose the rear admiral said that he was well satisfied with the results and deemed the attack the most destructive yet made by the American navy on Santiago. He also believed, he Said, that the moral effect would be sure to be good and wptjtjd tend to dishearten the Spanish trooosand encourage our own. It •e^tainfsjwld show fcho Spaniards Jihe hspelessness of their situation for within 24, hours Admiral Cervera made his ill-fated attempt t o escape. Shafter Demands Surrender of Santiago. For two days more the fighting continued after Gen. Shafter had driven the Spaniards within the city. The American troops had been entrenched U> l b s meantime, anil did not.suffer so heavily. The tremendous undertaking before him led the American commander to assume a less aggressive attitude, and he evidently felt keenly the loss of brave officers and men, as the following dispatch to the war department would' show : We have the town well Invested on the north and east, but with a very thin line. Upon approaching it we find It of such a character and the defences so Rtrong it will be impossible to carry it by storm with my present force. Our losses up to date will aggregate 1,000, but list has not yet been made. Hut little nickness outs de of exhaustion from in'ease heat and exertion of the battle and the almost constant fire which Is kept up on the trenches. Gen. Wheeler is serously ill and will probably have to go to the rear today. Gin. Young also very ill; confined to his bed. Gen. Hawlcins slightly wounded in loot during sorae enemy made last night, which was handsomely repulsed. The behavior of the troops was magnificent. SHAFTKB, Major-General. Maj.-Gen. Shafter was apparently at at the point of settling down to ayvait reinforements, or withdrawing 'his advance forces to the hills when the news of the_deatruction_oi.the__Spaniflh fleet_ was received. When the victory of Sampson was announced to the troops they well-nigh went mad with delight. It was the general belief that, the crushing of Admiral Cevera's fleet entirely ehangea the situation, now that Admiral Sampson can enter the harbor and the army and navy can make a combined attack on the city. With this idea in mind Gen. Shafter sent the following de ipateh: To the commanding-general of t h e Spanish forces, Sunt ago de Cuba: I shall be obliged, unless-you surrender, to shell Santiago de Cuba Please inform the citizens of foreign countries and all women and children that they should leave the city 1 ef ore IO o'clock tomorrow (Monday) morning. Very respectfully, W. It. SHAFTKB, Maj.-Gea, U. S. A. Following is the Spanish reply which was brought back by Col. Dorst: His Excellency, the General Commanding Forces of the United States, San'Juan River: Sir—I have the honor to reply to your eommunirat'on demanding the surrender of this city ; on the contrary case announcing to me that y o u will bombard this c ty, and that I advtse the foreign residents and the women and children that they must leave the city before 10 o'clock tomorrow (Monday) morning. It is my duty to say tb you that this city will not surrender, and that I will inform the foreign consuls and inhabitants of theeontents of your message. Very respectfully. JOSE TOBAL,-Command Fourth Carps. Gen. Shafter reported this- correspondence to the war department, and also cabled that "the British t. Portuguese, Chinese and Norwegian consuls have come to my.line with Col. Dorst. They ask if non-combatants can occupy the town of Caney and railroad points, and ask until 10 o'clock of July 5t before the city is fired on.

HAsftaftAft PAINT CO., Bold They Dave Artistic Ability Despite Tbab ToUaooap Urea, The huge, expressionless face of an Alaska Indian woman shows but little evidence of any ambition or ability to perform eveu the simplest features of domestic art, and yet the skillful and' artistic results of the handiwork of these untutored aborigines Is much sought after by the tourists who visit their villages during the summer. Moreover, though the women are all fat and lazy-looking, their lives are not uninterrupted ease, notwithstanding that their needs are few. Abundance of fuel is all about them, and food, which with them is synonymous with fish, swims almost to their doors. But the procuring as well as the preparing of this food is all accomplished by the women. During the summer they leave the villages and towns for. the islands in less frequented waters, where they camp for weeks at a time, catching and curing the fish for winter use, while the men lazily watch them or paddle and canoe, or otherwise amuse themselves. If an Indian's wife is in ill health or too old to work he marries another younger wife, usually a relative of the first one, who is expected to provide the food, while the first wife cares for the house and children. Fish and berries furnishing almost the only food of these people, the women have little scope or ambition for developing culinary art, but in matters of personal ; adornment they take keen delight. Dur- | lng the long, dark winter they weave j beautiful blankets and baskets for their own use and to sell.

From the Washington Star: An artist of Washington speaking recently of a visit to Nantucket Baid: "I sketched a good deal out of doors, but when the weather was bad I made the best of it by working on what I considered a pretty good picture of the interior of one of the old houses or at least of one big room that lent Itself best to my purposes. The people who owned the house were so nice to me that when I finished my picture I thought to repay them in part for their courtesy by making for them a sketch of my ambitlouB canvas. For the sake of variety, however, I drew In the figure of an old man sitting in a big chair and gazing abstractedly into the fireplace. It was a fancy figure, pure and simple, and drawn without a model, but the face belonged to the type that one so often sees along the New England coast, a type that Is unfortunately growing rarer as the years go by. But Imagine my surprise when I came to present the sketch to my friends, for they drew back from it as if I had given them something uncanny, and the man said: 'Why, that's a picture of my father precisely as I have seen him sitting in front of that fireplace hundreds of times, gazing Into the coals and thinking of the daye when he captained one of the biggest whalers that sailed out of the harbor of Nantucket.' And his wife bore out his statement when she said it was an admirable likeness of the old man, who had died many years before I ever visited the island. The neighbors were some of these are as soft as silk, and in beauty of coloring and intricacy of design rival the oriental rugs and hangings. It usually takes a woman six months to complete one blanket, but many of them sell for prices ranging from $50 to $200. The muchsought- after, genuine Chilket blanket Is about four feet long and two and one-half feet wide at each end, but as one side is pointed, the center is a foot wider than the ends, and on this side is ornamented with a 10-inch fringe. These are worn in the dance, thrown around the shoulders, with the pointed fringed side hanging down. The design is grotesque, consisting of conventionalized faces of men and animals in pale green outlined with black on a white ground. Sometimes dull blue takes the place of the pale green. A peculiarity which stamps their genuineness is a fine thread or shaving of deerskin in the center of each hard twisted strand of wild sheep's wool yarn, of which they are made, rendering them almost indestructible,—Woman's Home Companion. nized the likeness witi a moment's hesitation. They said i .... in every detail of face and figure it was as accurate as a photograph could possibly have been. Now, of course, it was only a coincidence, but you could never have made any of those people think that there was not something supernatural about it all—and, do you know, I am more than half inclined to think they were right." *'I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for year* and always with «oo«l u'sults" says W.

A. Variation o f t h e Progressive Game Suggested by the Time. Euchre, progressive or plain and unadorned, has become so threadbare as an evening's entertainment that players will welcome with joy its brandnew form, military euchre. Those who have said that nothing could be wound around or made out of progressive euchre will now find themselves in the wrong, for military euchre Is really a variation of progressive j euchre—that is, the players move from : table to table, though irregularly, and j not In the old one, two, three fashion, j Each table bears a cardboard Bign, on j which is. printed in gay'letters its I name, "Fort Sumter," "Fort Hancock," j "Fort Hamilton," "Fort Schuyler,J' for i example, any names bein* used that j the host any hostess may prefer, each • table being a fort for the evening, hav- j ing players to defend it and other play- j ers to attack and try to board it by the force of superior "hands" of playing cards. A drum in the corner of the parlors announces that the games are to begin. Two girls and two men are assigned to each fort, partners are arranged, and the games are ready to commence. Now, .each quartet ia responsible for its own fort. It is attached to this fort the entire evening, to defend its own and to sally forth and attack the other forts. Partners never change. The leader, who is known as ths "general," distributes the pairs, send- j Ing a coupie from Fort Sumter to attack Fort Hancock, and so on, round after round, until every couple, as I nearly as possible, has met every other i couple. | If the attacking party wins it car- | rlcs back tp its-own fort a pennant; if ; the defenders triumph they run up a psnnant on their own staff. Thus a single fort may win two pennants In a single round: it may win one, or none. Some flagstaffs are crowded j with pennants within an hour; others ; art comparatively bars.

When we have cleared our minds of error, prejudice and injustice, enabling ourselves to understand what Americanism means—how it is not the predominance of any race or religion—we shall perceive the exact worth and character of the friendship subsisiting between Great Britain and the United States. There is a common language; there is a common law; there are many common political ideas; there are common interests in trade, so that the prosperity of the one is more or less intertwined with the prosperity of the othej; and, lastly, both are free states, having an active, educated public intelligence, peculiarly responsive to the appeals of a universal humanity.

Hanging Is too good for many of tht rteintlnga sent to exhibitions. The Incubator will never succeed la driving the old hen out of business. Lots of men have been-temporarily paialyzed who never had a paralytic itroke. Some kinds of love may grow cold, but the kind a man has for himself aever does. Wedlock holds a man, pretty close when his wife doesn't allow him to carry a latchkey. Some men are so versatile that they don't stick to one thing long enough to make a success of it. It is often a great disadvantage for a young man to begin a career with superior advantages. The love that makes the world go round often prevents the Income from iolng more *han half way. One of the greatest dampers to a man's ambition is the Knowledge that the mantle of greatness is usually worn as a shroud. The man of New Jersey who died after rapidly drinking three pints of. app'ejack must have had his stomach given him in some other state, and the other state must have made the beverage too. "Should one judge from the so-called comic page, all men are liars and dishonorable, all women frivolous and unfaithful, all children imps, all mothersin- law monsters, all homes unhappy, all husbands and wives quarrelsome, all dealers cheats, all ministers whited sepulchres, all charitable organizations frauds, all mankind thoroughly corrupt." Thus the editor of the Blmlra Gazette laments what he calls the mischief of the comic. The extract has its modicum of truth; but let the dear man thi~k! Shall we eliminate satire? Shall we abolish the exaggeration of -poetry? Shall we omit that part of history which is not susceptible of abr solute proof? Shall we overlook hypocrisy and pretension? Shall pomposity and vain-glorlousness go unpacked of their ridiculous wind? Give the world credit for some little Intelligence. The destruction of birds in America has become a serious matter, and scientists say that unless the killing of these citlsens of the air can be stopped a good many varieties which are of gre.Tt value to man will soon bftcome extinct. Such a result would work irreparable injury to agricultural interests, for no artificial aid has yet been discovered which can in any degree lane the place of these natural allies of the farmer in his war upon insect enemies. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Representative John F. Lacey of Iowa are deeply intei^sted in this matter, and have introduced in both houses of congress bills for the protection of the birds. Mr. Hoar's bill has passed the senate and will soon come to a vote In the house. To insure its passage by that body every agriculturist and bird lover is urged to write without delay Xn the representative of his district io congress, asking him to cast his vote V~> the measure. TALMAGE^S aJSEMON. "WOMAN WRONGED" LAST S U N - DAY'9 •UBJHGT* — r - - / W _ .,: From the T«*t Enther 1( 11-1S as Follows) "Bring Ya»htl, the Qaooa, •*•- for* tho King with tho Crow* Roys! to Show tUo FoottU M d Frlaoos Bor Beauty." We stand amid the palaces of Shushan. The pinnacles are aflame with the morning light. The columns rise festooned and wreathed, the wealth of empires flashing from the grooves; the ceilings adorned with images of bird and beast, and scenes of prowess and conquest. The wall are hung with shields, and emblazoned until it seems that the whole round of splendors is exhausted. Each arch Is a mighty leal of architectural achievement. Golden stars shining down on glowing arabesque. Hangings of embroidered work in which mlng.e the blueness of the sky, the greenness of the grass and the whiteness of the seafoam. Tapestries hung on silver rings, wedding together the pillars of marble. Pavilions reaching out in every direction. . These for repose, filled with luxuriant couches, in which weary limbs sink until all fatigue is submerged. Those for carousal where kings drink down a kingdom at one swallow. Amazing spectacle! Light of silver dripping down over stairs of ivory on shields of gold. Floors of stained marble, sunset red and night black, and in'ald with gleaming pearl. In connection with this patace there is a garden, where the mighty men of foreten lands are seated at a banquet. Under the spread of oak and linden and acacia the tables are arranged. The breath of honeyruckle and frankincense fills the air. Fountains leap up into the light, the spray struck through with rainbows falling into crystalline baptism upon flowering shrubs—then rolling down through channels of marble, and wftU entng out here and there into pools swirling with the finny tribes of foreign aquariums, bordered with scarlet anemones, hyperlcums, and many-colored ranunculi. Meats of rarest bird and beast smoking up amid wreaths of aromatics. The vaseB filled with apricots and almdnds. The basket piled up with apricots and. figs and oranges and pomegranates. Melons tastefully twined with leaves of acaria. The bright waters of Eulaeus filling the urns and dropping outside the rim in flashing beads amid the traceries. Wine from the royal vats of Ispahan and Shiraz, in bottles of tinged shell, and Mly-Bhaped cupa of silver, and flagons and tankards of solid gold. The music rises higher, and taahlonabe square, I greet her with the shout, "AH'hail. Queen Vashti! What glory was there on the brow of Mary of Scotland, or Elisabeth of England, qr.Maxiartt of Frejice, or Cather^ie ,ot Eusalg, compareA. with tho wort* o t sonie of our Christian mothers, many of them gone into glory?—or of that woman mentioned 1« the Scriptures, who put her »11 Into the consider Vashtl the sacrifice.

In resenting it, the ordinary young woman will exclaim wl'.h assurance that the criticism Isn't true; that many a girl has thought herte.f into a headache, which no one will deny; but even this, one tormenting young skeptic saucily declares, is quite frequently done after the man- ..?r of the glr| In the story of "How ~>ne Girl Studies." She places her:box —Of- rhorolatea rm thp tnhlp, and whpa Oktlng them and polishing her finger nail Is, *v/s aloud and indistinctly, of course, "The three angles of a triangle ar* equal to two right angles—Oh dear, I hope it won't rain tomorrow and spoil that picnic! The three angles of a triangle are equal to two right angles— I saw George Morris and Sue walk off together, and they just may for all I «are! The two angles of a triangle are jqual to three right angles—There, those chocolates are not so large as those that were on top! The three -right angles—well, this old thing is too stupid! There is nothing ia U but nonatose, so therer the revelry—breaks out into—wilder transport, and the wine has flushed the cheek and touched the brain, and louder than all other voices are the hiccough of the inebriates, the gabble of fools, and the song of the drunkards. In another part of the palace Queen Vashti is entertaining the Princess of Persia at a banquet. Drunken Ahpsuerus says to his servants, "You go and fetch Vash'i from that banquet will tUe women, and bring her to this banquet with (he men, and let me display her beauty." The servants immediately start to obey the king's command; but there was a rule In Oriental society that no woman might appear In public without having her face veiled. Yet here was a mandate that no one dare dispute, demanding that Vashti come In unveiled before the multitude. However, there was in Vashti's soul a principle more regal than Ahasuerus, more brilliant than the gold of Shushan, of more wealth than the realm of Persia, which commanded her to disobey this order of the king; and so all the righteousness and holiness and modesty of her natuie rise up into one sublime refusal. Fhe says, "I will not go into the barqiiet unveiled." Ahasuerus was infuriate; and Vashti, robbed of her position and her es'ate, is driven forth in poverty and ruin to suffer the scorn oT a nation, and yet to receive the applause of after generations, who shall rise to admire this martyr-to kinirly insolence. Well, the last vestige of that feast is gone; the last garland had faded: the last arch has fallen; rhe Inst tankard has been destroyed; and Shushan is a ruin; but as long as the world stands there will be multitudes of men and women, familiar with the Ulble. who will come into this picture gallery of God and a-dmi^e thp divine portrait of Vasht! the queen. Valri the veiled, Vashti the sacrifice. Vashti the silent. In the first place. I want yon to look upon Vashti thp queen. A Wue rib- LJJ>9ttiJ!*^?d_w;1/h \vb['e.

And yet lit is not necpssnry »o have place mid regal robe In order to be ojiwnW When I see a woman with sfon* fatfh In God, puttine h*r foot. upon all nicannes* and selfishness and gnrilc^s display, going right forward to serve Christ and the rare by a grand and n. glorious servk*.. I say: "That woman is a queen," and th* ranks of heaven look over the bel tiementi »poti the ^oronatie*; and whether *bc comes up from th* shinty on the comment or lb manslo* of the daughter,- who made a demonstration of unselfish patriotism?—or of Abigail, who -reaoited the herds and flocks of her husband?—or of Ruth, who toiled under a tropical sun for poor, old, helpless Naomi?—or of Florence Nightingale, who went at midnight to stanch the battle wounds of the Crimea?—or of Mrs. Adonlratn Judson, who kindled the lights of salvation amid the darkness of Burmah?—or of Mrs. Hemans, who poured out her holy soul in words which will forever be associated with hunter's horn, snd captive's chain, and bridal hour, and lute's throb, and curfew's knell at the dying day?—and scores and hundreds of women, unknown on earth, who have given water to the thirsty, and bread to the hungry, and medicine to the sick, and smiles to the discouraged—their footsteps heard along dark lane and in government hospital, and in almshouse corridor, and by prison-gate? There may be no royal robe—there may be no palatial surroundings. She does not need them; for all charitable men will unite with the crackling lips of fever-Btruck hospital and plagueblotched lazaretto in greeting her as she passes: "Hall! Hail! Queen Vashti!" Again, I want you to consider Vasht i t h e Teiied. Had she appeared be-_ fore Ahasuerus and his court on that day with her face uncovered she would have shocked all the delicacies of Oriental society, and the very men who in their intoxication demanded that she come, in their sober moments would have despised her. As some flowers seem to thrive best in the dark lane and in the shadow, and where the Bun does not seem to reach them, so God appoints to most womanly natures a retiring and unobtrusive spirit. God once In a while does call an Isabella to a throne, or a Miriam -to strike the timbrel at the front of a host, or a Marie Antoinette to quell a French mob, or a Deborah to stand at the front of an armed battalion, crying out, "Up! Up! 1 his is the day in which the Lord will deiver fcisera into thy hands." And when the women are called to such out-door work and to such heroic positions, God prepares them for it; and they have Iron in their soul, and lightnings in their eye, and whirlwinds in their breath, and the borrowed strength of the Lord Omnipotent in their right arm. They walk through furnaces as though they were TTedges~df wild-flowers, and cross seas as though they were shimmering sapphire; and all the harpies of hell down to their dungeon at the stamp of womanly Indignation. But these are the exceptions. Generally, Dorcas would rather make a garment for the poor boy; Rebecca would rather fill the trough of the cam- <fl*j; Hannah would rather make a coat for Samuel; the Hebrew maid would rather give a prescription tor Naaman's leprosy; the woman of Sarepta would rather gather a few sticks to cook a meal for famished Elijah; Phebe would rather carry a letter for the inspired apostle; Mother Lois would ra her educate Timothy in the Scriptures. When I see a woman go? ing about her daily duty, with cheerful dignity pressing at the table, with kind and gentle but firm discipline presiding in the nursery, going out Into the world without any blast of trumpets, following in the footsteps of him who went about doing good—I say: "This is Vashti with a veil on." But when I see a woman of unblushing boldness, loud voiced, with a tongue of infinite clitter-c'.atter, with arrogant look, passing through the streets w*th the step of a walkingbeam, gayly arrayed in a very hurricane of millinery, I cry out: "Vashti has lost her yeiit** When I s e e * woman struggling for political preferment —trying to force her way on up to consplcuity, smid the masculine dema gogues, who stand with swollen fists and bloodshot eyes and pestiferous breath, to guard the polls—wantiiig to go through the loaferism and defilement of popular sovereigns, who crawl up from the saloons greasy and foul and vermin-covered, to deride questions of justice and order and civilization— when I fee a woman, I say, who wants to press through all that horrible scum to get to public place and power, I say: "Ah, what a pity! Vashti has lost her veil!" When I see a woman of comely fea- TOrerr'gTrd -ofadi iltncsfl of—ifttaltect^ and endowed with all that the schools can do for her, and of high so lal position, yet moving in society with superciliousness a,nd hauteur, as though she would have people know their place, and with an undefined combination of Rifigte *nd strut and rhodomontade, endowed with allopathic quantities of talk, but only homeopatlxic Infinitesimals of aense, the terror of dry goods clerks and railroad conductors, discoverers of significant meanings in plain conversation, prodigies of badinage and innuendo—I say: "Vashti has lost her veil." , Again, I want yon this morning to she? It is Vashti the sacrifice. Oh I what a change it was from regal position to a wayfarer's crust! A little while ago, approved and sought for; her acquaintanceship. Vashti the sac rlflcel One nigat during our oivll w s r ^ went to Hagerstown to look at the army, and I stood on a hilltop and looked down upon them. I saw the camp-fires all through the valleys and all over the hills, it was a weird spectacle, those camp-fires, and I stood and watched them; and the soldiers who were gathered around them were, no doubt, talking of their homes, and of the long march they had. taken, and of the battles they were to fight; but after awhile I saw these camp-fires begin to lower; and they continued io lower, until they were all gone out, and the army slept. It was imposing when I saw the camp-fires; it was imposing in the darkness when I thought of that great host asleep. Well, God looks down from heaven, and he sees the firesides of Christendom and the loved ones gathered around these firesides. These are the camp-fires where we warm ourselves at the close of day, and talk of the battles of . life we have fought and the battles that are yet to come. God grant that when at last these fires begin to go out, and continue to lower until finally they are extinguished, and the ashes of consumed hopes strew the hearth of the old-homestead, it may be because^we have Gone to sleep the last sleep. From which none ever wake to weep. Now we are an army on the march of life. Then we shall he an army bivouacked in the tent of the grave. Once more: I want you to look at Vashti the silent. You do not hear any outcry from this woman as she goes forth from the palace gate. From the very dignity of her nature, you know there will be no vociferation. Sometimes in life it is necessary to make a retort; sometimes in life It is necessary to resist; but there are crises when the most triumphant thing to do is to keep silence. The philosopher, confident in his newly discovered principle, waiting for the coming of the more intelligent generations, willing that men Bhould laugh at the lightning rod and cotton gin and steamboat and telegraph—waiting for long years through the scoffing of philosophical schools, in grand and magnificent silence. Galileo, condemned by mathematicians, and monks, and cardinals, caricatured everywhere, yet waiting and watching with his teksropn to, sefilhe, coming up of stellar reinforcements,' when the stars in their courses would fight for the Copernican system; then sitting down in complete blindness and deafness to wait for the coming on of the generations who would build his monument and bow at his grave. The reformer, execrated by his contemporaries, fastened in a pillory, the slow fires of public contempt burning under him, ground under the cylinders of the printing press, yet calmly waiting for the day when purity of soul and heroism of character will get the sanction of earth and the plaudits of heaven. Affliction enduring without any complaint the sbarpaess of the pang, and the violence ot the atorm, and the heft of ..the .chain*. And-ifce darkness of the night—waiting,until a d"vlne hand shall b$3>*t ^ forth1 to Sdfcthe the pang, and hue* ttie storm, Wfcd release the captive. A wife abused, persecuted, and a perpetual ejeile from every earthly comfort—waiting, waiting, until the Lord shall gather up his dear children in a heavenly home, and no poor Vashti will ever he thrust out from the palace gate.

From the window we could aee the figure of a man In the moonlight; ha etood motionless, bla face uplifted to ours, and a rag ot something white on his extended arm; and aa we looked right down upon him, though he waa a good many yarde distant on the links, we could aee the moonlight glitter In hla eyes. He opened hla lips again, and spoke for some minutes on end, in a key ao loud that he might have been heard In every corner of the pavilion, and aa far away aa the borders of the wood. It waa tbe same voice that had already thouted "Traditore!" through the shutters of the dining-room; this time It msde a complete and clear statement. If the traitor "Oddleatone" were given up, all others ahould be spared; if not, no on* should eaeane i o tell the tale. "Well. HuddJestone. what do you say to that?" asked Northmour, turning to the bed. Up to that moment the banker had given no sign of life, and I, at leant, had auppoaed him to be still In a faint; but be replied at once, and. in such tones as I have never heard elsewhere, save from a delirious patient, adjured and besought ua not to desert him. "Enough," cried Northmour. and then he threw open the window, leaned out Into the night, and in a tone of exultation, and with a total forgetfulness of what waa due to tbe presence of a lady, poured out upon tbe ambassador a string of the most abominable raillery, both in English and Italian, and bade him begone where he bad co^e from. Meantime tbe Italian put hts flag of truce in hla pocket, and disappeared, at a leisurely pace, among the rand-hillR. "They make honorable war." said Northmour. "They are all gentlemen and soldiers. For the credit of the thing. I wish we could change sides— you and I. Frank, and you too. Missy, my darling—and leave that being on the bed to some one else. Tntf Don't look shocked! We are all going poet to what we call eternity, and may as well be above-board while there's time. Aa far aa I'm concerned, if I could flrat strangle Huddleatone and then get Clara in my arms. I could die with some pride and satisfaction. And aa it is. by Ood. I'll have a kiss!" Before I could do anything to interfere, he bad rudelv embraced and repeatedly kissed the resisting girl. Next moment I had pulled him away Aa we went downstairs the heat waa exceaalye, and the roaring of tht fire filled our ears, and we had scarce reached the paaaage before the auira* window fell in, a branch of flame shot brandishing through the aperture, and the Interior of the pavilion became lit up with that dreadful a d Uuciua ing glare. At the same moment we heard the fall of something heavy and lneiaatic in the upper floor, Northmour and 1 cocked our revolvers. Mr. Huddleatone. who bad already refused a firearm, put ua behind him with a manner of command. "Let Clara open the door," said he. "So. If they Are a volley, ahe will be protected. And In the menntime stand behind me. I am tbe scapegoai: my ainB have found me out." I beard h,m. AS I stood breathless by his shoulder, with my pistol ready, pattering off prayers in a tremulous, rapid whisper; and 1 confess, horrid aa the thought may seem, I ae^ibed him for thinking of supplications in a moment t>c critical aiid thrll lng. in na meantime Clara, who waa dead wh.te but still possessed of her facultlea. hod displaced the bat r.cade f i o a the front door. Another moment, and ahe had pulled It open. Flieligh; and mooilight illuminated tbe linke wl.h confused and changeful luster, and far away against the sky we could aee a long trail of glowing smoke. Mr. Huddiestoce, filled tor the moment with a strength g.ea er than hla own, struck Noribmour and my&elf a back-hander In the chest, and while we were thus for the moment incapacitated irom action, lifting h<a arms a^ore hie head like one about to dive, he ran straight forward out of the pavilion. "Here am I!" he cned—"Huddlestone! Ki.l me. and spare tbe others." His sudden appeaiance daunted. I suppose, our hidden enem.es; for Northmour and 1 bad time to recover, to seize Clara be ween us one by each arm, and to rush forth to bla assistance, ere anything further bad taken place. But scarce bad we passed the threshold when theie came near a dozen reports and flashes from every direction among the bo lows of the links. Mr. Huddleatone staggered, uttered a weird and freezing cry, threw up his arms over bis head and fell backward on the turf. "Traditore! Traditore!" cried the invisible avengers. And just then a part of the roof of the pavilion fell in, ao mpid waa the progress of the fire. A loud, vague Stand eftdewtone depends upon the piayer. Look before vou leap; see before you go.

"Aa you please." aald he. "You're been a prig In life; a prig you'll die." And with that he aat down in a chair, a rifle over hie knee, and amused himself with snapping tbe lov'k. All this time our aaaallanta might have been entering the house, and we been none the wiser; we had In truth almoet forgotten the dagger that BO Imminently overhung our days. But Just then Mr. Huddleatone uttered a ' cry, and leaped from the bed. ! asked him what was wrong. "Fire!" he cried. "They have aet the bouse on fire!" Northmour waa on bla feet in an Inst** t, and he and I ran through the door of communication with the study. The room waa Illuminated by a red and angry light. Almost at th* moment of our entrance a tower of l a m e aroee In front of tbe window, and. w.<h a tingling report, a pane fell inward on the carpet. Tbey had aet fire to the lean-to outbouae. where Northmour uaed to nurse hla negatives. "Hot work!" said Nortfcmonr. "Let us try ia your old room." We ran thither in a breath, threw np the casement and looked forth. Along the whole back wall of the pavilion piles of fuel had bees arranged and kindled, and it le probable tbey bad been drenched with mineral oil, for, in aplte of tbe morning's rain, tbey all burned bravely. The i r e had taken a firm hold already on tbe outbouae. There waa not a human being to be aeen to rigbt or left "Ah, well!" aaid Northmour, "here's tbe end. thank God." And we returned to "My Uncle's Room." Mr. Haddieatone was putting on bis boots, still violently treanbiing. but with an air of determiaatJon sues aa I bad net hitherto observe*. Clara etood clone by him, with her cloak in both bands ready to throw about her shooMers. and a atranfa took la her eyes, s s tf ahe were half hopeful, beif doubtful of her father. •'Well, boys and girls " jaid Northmour. "bow about a ssilyt The oven is heating, it ia not good to stay here and be baked, and. for my part. I want to come to my hands with them and be done." T h e r e Is nothing elae left," I replied. And both Clara and Mr. Hnddteetone. tbomgb with a very different In- "tonation. adwed, "Nothing!" and horrible noise accompanied the collapse, and a vast volume of flame went soaring up to heaven. Huddleatone, although God knows what were bis obsequies, had a fine pyre at the moment of bis death. CHAPTER IX. I should have the greatest difficulty to tell you what followed next after thia tragic circumstance. It Is all to me, aa I look back upon it, mixed, strenuous and Ineffectual, like the struggles of a sleeper in a nightmare. Clara, I remember, uttered a broken sigh and would have fallen forward to earth had not Northmour and I supported her InsenaibJe body. I do not think we were attacked: 1 do not remember even to have aeen an assailant; and I believe we deserted Mr. Huddlestone without a glance. I only remember running like a man in a panic, now carrying Jlara altogether in my own arms, now sharing her weight with Northmour. now scuffling confusedly for the possession of that dear burden. Why we should have tcaJe for my camp in the Hemlock Den, or box we reached it, are point* lost forever to my recollection. The firat moment at which I became ue*ui.tcly suie. Ciara .' had been suffered to fail againat the j outside of my little tent. Northmour ( and I were tumbling toge«aer oa tbe J ground, and be. with ounvinued t%- rocity, waa atriking for my head with the butt of hie revolver. He had already twice wounded me on the acalp, and It ia to tbe consequent loan of blood that I am tempted to attribute the sudden clearneaa of my mine. I caught him by tbe wrut, "Northmour," I remember aaylng, "you can kill me afterwards. Let na first attend to Clara." He waa at that moment uppermost. Scarcely had tbe words pa sen my lipa, when be had leaped to tua teec and ran toward tbe tent, and the next moment be waa atrafcaing Clara to bis heart and covering ber nwtnawtoaji bands and; face with hla r a n n a r "Shame r» I eried. "Shame to yon, Northmour *** And. gMdy though I still was. I struck baaa repeatedly upon the bead and shoulders. He relinquished his grasp, and faced me in tbe toroken moonlight. "I had you under and let yon go." aaid be; "and now you strike me! Coward!" "You are the coward." I retor*<t "Did she wish your k'sees while ahe waa still wenaible of what ahe wanted? Not ahe! And now she may be dying: and yon irertt t h e rr?c cue time. abuse her helpieianese, and let me%efp her." He confronted me for a moment, white and menacing; then aaddealy bs stepped aside, "Help ber. then.'* said he. 1 threw myself on my knees beside ber and loosened, aa well aa I was able, her dreaa and corset; but while I waa thus engaged, a grasp descended on my shoulder. "Keep your hands off her." aaid Northmour, fiercely. "Do you think I have no blood in my veina?" "Northmour," J cried, "if yon will neither help her youraelf nor let me do ao. do you know I shall have to kill you?" "That ia bettev»* he cr?ed. "Let ber die, also; Where's the harm? step aside from that girl and stand up to fight." "You will observe." sa'd I, half-rising, "that 1 have not kisved her yet." "I care you to!" be cried. I oo not know what po: sensed me: It waa one of the things 1 ym movt aahamerl of In my 1 fe. ihnu<*b aa my wife used to aay, I knew that my kisees would br always welcome were she dead or living: down I fe'l again upon my kneea. parted tbe hair from ner forehead, and. with the deareat re p-ct, laid my lipa for a moment on that cold brow. "And now." eMd I. "I am at your service, Mr. Northmour." But I saw, to my surprise, that he had turned hiB back upon me. wDo you bear?" I uaked. •*Yea," said he. "1 do. If you wish to fight, I am rerdy. If not. go on and save Clara. All is one to me." I did not wait to be twice hidden; but. stooping again over C a: a. continued my efforts to revive her. She j l U U U y whlxe and lifeless; I began to fear that her sweet spirit had Indeed fled beyond recall, an 4 horror and a sense of utter desolation gebed upon my heart. I ca'led her by name with tbe most endear nginflec 1 na; I chafed and beat her hands; now I laid her head low, now supported It against my knee; but all seemed to be In v a n , and the lids still lay heavy on her eyes. "Northmour," I said, "there 13 my hat. For God's sake bring aome water from the spring." Almost in a moment he was by my side with tbe water. "I have brought it in my own," said he. "You do not grudge me tbe privilege?" "Northmour," I was beginning to say, as I laved her head and breast, but be interrupted me savagely. "Oh, you hush up!" he said. "The beat thing you can do la to aay nothing." I had certainly no desire to talk, my mind being swallowed up in concern for my dear love and her condition; ao I continued in silence to do my beat toward her recovery, and when tbe hat was empty, returned It to him with one word—"More." He had. perhaps, gone several times upon this errand when Clara opened her eyes. "Now," said he, "since she la better, you can spare me. can you not? I wish you a good-night, Mr. Caasllis."

Wrapper writing is, It would seem, a fopular way of earning a livelihood with the Inmates ot Rowtou houae, a 6-psnny hotel. Here la au amusing story ot the perfection to which it may be brought by practice and a strong will: "There la a tradition lingering among the elder brethren of the wrapper writing profession to the effect that, once upon a time, when the work was better paid than now, a young man from Australia turned up aud ventured ft* a last resource into tbftir sphere of labor. He spent hie all and found himself stranded until funds should arrive from the antipodes. So, on the suggestion'of an acquaintance, he applied for a job at the world famed firm of Schmidt ft Co. On being duly installed and supplied with 600 envelopes and some pages from a directory he looked around and asked tor a pen. " 'But you have one already/ said the young man in authority. " 'I want two,' said the Australian, and an interested and obliging fellow scribe supplied the need. The scene which thereupon ensued baffles description, for the colonial, separating the pile of envelopes into two equal lots, began copying the addresses by writing simultaneously with both hands. So runs the legend, at least, and, furthermore, It is averred that his rapidity was such as to put the 'Bloggers' to shame. Fifty pens dropped from the nerveless grasp of those who but a minute before had been writing against time and as itfor dear life. A hundred eyes were fixed in astonishment on the unknown one. Presently the young overseer who superintended the labors of many old enough to be his grandfather rose and timidly said he would consult 'the governor.' The latter arrived, and, the, situation being explained, the Australian was turned Into a loose box all by himself and fed with another thousand or so of envelopes. At this rate he earned enough in two or three weeks to enable him to last ont comfortably until the remittances arrived; then he went home and Schmidt's knew him no more.

'Phone Sabecrlb«rs Conld»8ta>nd AnythlBf bat ThU Talking Machine. A wholly unexpected difficulty attends the use • of an Invention which was adopted with enthusiasm in the San Francisco telephone Office recently. -M tenalgia In applying nj) automatic phonograph to a telephone switchboard, so that if the line was in use the phonograph answered, "Busy now; call up later." The difficulty developed in practice was that people who called up several times in a few minutes on a busy wire found the monotonous tone and form of the reply Intensely irritating. They did not know that the answer was given by. a machine. As often as they complained or demanded an explanation the answer came in the even, indifferent tone, and in precisely the same words. Abuse and threats had no effect. After the wildest reproaches the voice from the operators' room merely said, "Busy now; call np later." Subscribers became so angry that the managers were afraid to continue the use of the invention. One of them remarked to a Tisltor who had listened to blood-thirsty remarks over the wire: "That is one of the drawbacks of this invention. It excites profane men unduly, and it might lead to violence." -It doss not appear that the apparatus has been withdrawn yet, but it is likely to be if there is much more trouble. Tet it Is a useful thing in Itself, and if the public were once made to understand that It is not an insolent human being, but an innocent machine, just as passionless as it sounds, the whole difficulty might be removed. Anyway, there should be nothing that adds to the irritation Inevitably caused at times to telephone subscribers who are in a hurry. Their case is pitiable enough now.—Hartford Times.

After struggling with a drouth for six weeks, frosts have practically ruined the crops. Field after field of potatoes, the principal product of these counties, and corn flattened and blackened by these frosts. Forest fires have been raging also, destroying quantities of stove wood and many gratn~and pasture fields. Seme farmers have lost their outbuildings. J. B. Eastman, a farm hand employed by Fred Lawsen, of Uurnside, was arrested charged with burning Law sen's barns. Eastman, it is said, attempted to take improper liberties with Law sen's 5-year-old daughter. An older sister knocked him down with a plow point. Eastman then begged the girls not to tell the father, saying that if they did so he would burn the buildings. The young lady refused to consider his proposition. A little later Eastman turned the horses out and set the barns on fire. Lawsen's loss is about $2,500; insured. The acreage of wheat grown in Michigan this year is. approximately, 1,710,000 acres. The average yield per acre in the state is estimated at 16.74 bushels. This estimate is based on nearly 1,150 reports covering all parts of the state. The estimate points to a crop of about 28.G00.000 bushels. Harvest is full two weeks earlier than in 1897. The area planted to corn is about normal, and the crop is in excellent condition. The condition is 22 per cent higher than one year ago. The average condition of oats is 91; potatoes, %; apples, 80; peaches, 74. Don Stark, Co.

Old Glory Floats Over the City— Our Terms Accepted. EASTERN END OF CUBA IS OURS Tb« Spanish Surrendered with the Understanding that Their Troop* be Sent Baek to Spaln-PraUe for Shatter from Mile*. When for the fourth time all seemed in readiness for a final assault upon Santiago still another white flag appeared just outside the city walls and the Spanish asked for another conference under a truce. Th is time Gen. Shafter insisted on meeting Gen. Toral, the Spanish commander, in person and a meeting was held between the hostile lines at which (.Jen. Shafter and Gen. Wheeler and the Spanish Gen. Toral were present, the latter claimed that he was unable to act without authority of his government, but had received authority to withdraw his forces and surrender harbor ports, munitions of war and eastern portion of Cuba He urgently requested 24 hours to receive answer from his government regarding offer of our government to send his forces to Spain, which was granted. Upon receipt of news of this conference Secretary of War Alger cabled Gen. Shafter that under no conditions would the Spanish forces be allowed to withdraw, but must surrender unconditionally. The war department further insisted that, the surrender should not only include the beleagured Spaniards in Santiago, but the whole province of Santiago de Cuba, including the garrisorfs at Manzanilto, Holguin, Guantanamo and Baracao. The United States, on its part, agrees to send the Spanish troops back to Spain and to allow their officers their side arms. No other concessions will be granted. In a short time the following dispatch in reply was received from Gen. Shafter: *"Have had an interview with Gen. Toral and have extended truce until Thursday noon; told him that his surrender only will be considered and that he was without hope of escape and had no right to continue the tight. I think I made a strong impression on him and hope for his surrender. If he refuses 1 will open on him at 12 noon with every gun I have and will have the assistance of the navy, which is ready to bombard the city with 13-inch shells.'' The Spanish general delayed his final action until within one hour of the time set by Gen. Shafter for beginning the assault upon Santiago and then he decided to surrender and sent a request f o r t heappointment of conunis- _ sioners to arrange for the capitulation of the city. The war department received the following dispatch from Gen. Shafter. Have just returned from interview with Gen. Toral. He agrees to surrender under the basis of being returned to Spain. This proposition embraces all of eastern cuba, from Acerraderoe on the south to Sagua on the north, via Palma, with practically the Fourth army corps. Commissioners meet this afternoon to definitely arrange the terms. A short time later a dispatch was received from Gen. Miles, evidently written before the final surrender, as follows: Gen. Toral formally surrendered the troops of his army—troops and division of Santiago—on the terms and understanding that his troops shall be returned to Spain. Gen. Shafter will appoint commissioners to draw up the conditions of arrangement carrying out the terms of surrender. This is very gratifying and Gen. Shafter and the officers and men of this command are entitled to great credit for their sin erity and fortitude in overcoming the almost insuperable obstacles which they encountervd. A portion of the army has been infected with yellow fever and efforts will be made to separate those who are infected and those who are free from it, and keep those w h o are on board ship separated from those on shore. Arrangements will be immediately made for carrying out further instructions of the President and yourself. This was almost immediately followed by a cable saying, "Santiago surrendered at 3."' The first chapter in the land campaign of the United States against Spain closed when the Spanish colors gave place over Santiago to the American flag* Next wiU follow the transportation of the Spanish troops back to their native land and the capture of the island of Porto Rico, unless peace soon intervenes. The seige of Santiago had lasted two weeks and was remarkable in many respects, and in none more than the heavy percentage of loss through death and sickness of soldiers and sailors engaged on both sides. 'l^VTi^l>ae1cl»ver the"recora^o?theee~ two weeks it is seen that a great ironclad Spanish squadron has been destroyed, that nearly 1,000 Spanish sailors have been drowned or killed by shell and flame, and that an untold number of Spanish soldiers have died In the trenches of Santiago. On the Other hand about 250 American soldiers have been killed, and, in round numbers, 2,000 more have been sent to the hospitals from wounds, fevers and other ailments. Our fleet hac\ a remarkable exemption from disaster in the many engagements it has had with the forts at the entrance of the harbor and with the Spanish squadron. The territory surrendered to us by Gen. Toral makes about 5,000 square -miles. The Spanish soldiers to be sent to Spain is estimated at 15,000 men. The statement that the Spanish proposition embraces all eastern Cuba from Acerraderos to Sagua is important in that it shows the surrender to embrace all the harbor and contiguous territory of Santiago. It does not include Holguin and Manzanillo, where the Spaniards are reported to have considerable bodies of soldiers, as these places are to the west of the surrendered itone. The territory includes a population exceeding 125.000 when the country is in its normal state. It includes the important cities of Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Sagua de Panama, and IJarocoa. It is exceedingly rich In minerals, sucrar and coffee. The large iron and copper mines at Juragua, Uaiquiri and vicinity are ownod by American companies. In the Guantanamo district are extensive plantations. liaracoa carried on an extensive fruit trade with the United States. The line begius at Acerraderos, about 15 miles west of Santiago harbor, and then runs due north about 25 miles to Palma Sorians. Had the line continued due north it would have pussed west of Holguin, thus taking the Spanish garrison at that point. Evidently Gen. Toral wishes to avoid the inclu-iion of Holguin so t h e line turns to the northeast of Palma and runs to the coast town of Boca del Sagua. The extreme length of this surrendered tract is about 110, extreme width about 50 miles, and is a rugged mountainous country. —Santiago, with Us fine harbor, is the main point, while Guantanamo is second in importance. With Santiago in our hands the way will be clear for Admiral Sampson's fleet to enter the harbor, as soon as the torpedoes and mines at the harbor entrance are removed. The fortifications of Morro eastle. Socapa, Cayo Smith and others ore included in the surrendered zone. The possession of these fine fortresses, particularly Morro castle, will afford valuable garrison points for a large numberof men. Great attention will now be given to the care of our sick and fever-stricken soldiers on the island. In the opinion of the army sur^pons the sick ran be best treated by removal to the high ground back of the southern coast, where the heat is less severe and where recovery could proceed with >ut fear of communicating disease to the rest of ttie army. Secretary Alger is anxious to bring the entire army back as soon as it can be done with safety to the men themselves without jeopardy to other troops in Florida and to the public. The active preparations made t o deal with the emergency are such that it is felt the question of disease ean be coped with successfully, now that the military situation has been simplified. The plan of the war department for returning the surrendered army of Gen. Toral to Spain will not necessitate the use of American vessels. It is the purpose of the department to ask for proposals from all steamship companies which desire to compete for transporting the Spanish troops to Spain, and the most advantageous bid will be accepted. The advices of Gen. Shafter state that the number of Spanish prisoners to be between 12,000 and 15,000. Secretary of War Alger says that the Porto Bican expedition would go for- •• ward immediately. It will comprise new men entirely. The warriors in the trenches before Santiago have distinguished themselves, and it is not deemed prudent to bring them in unnecessary contact with new troops in view of the danger of spreading contagion. The sick soldiers will be nursed back to health and brought to the United States as soon as they can be safely moved. Immune regiments will be ordered to Santiago to garrison the town, and two of these regiments are already under orders to proceed. The Porto Bican expedition will be commanded by Gen. Miles in person, though Gen. Brooke, now in command at Camp Thomas, is expected to be in his main dependence. The size of the expedition will depend upon Gen. Miles' wishes, although it is believed that 25,000 men will be sufficient for the purpose. At San Juan the navy will be of greater assistance than H was at Santiago, owing to the possibility «f approaching the town more e i e s e l j without risking contact with sateen. The experience gained in dispaaslstef Shatter's expedition, it is expSflaaA, will aid the officials in their dgHMstaation to make short work of the Parte Bican affair. There will be Stent? «f transports available for the espasisteB. Porto Rico is n o t expected to safer a very formidable resistance.

It is said that he advised the queen recent to appoint a new cabinet, largely consisting of the military element, which would not necessarily mean the adoption of a warlike policy, but probably the reverse. It is generally expected £hat the resignation will be accepted, hut the result may possibly be merely a partial reconstruction of t h e cabinet. The cabinet resigned inconsequence of irreconcilable diiferencesof opinion on the question of initiating peace negotiations. Duke Alraodovar de Rio, minister of foreign affairs, had an audieneo with the queen regent and subsequently an important conference with the French ambassador. Washington: M. Jules Cambon'. the French ambassador, had a conference with President McKinley. and it i s a d - mitted in diplomatic circles that Subjects of the greatest importance- £©• Spain were discussed. It is said that M. Cambon asked the President what h"3 would do if a represe tative of Spain should offer to yield Cuba directly tn the United States, give up-PortoBico* and pay an indemnity, providing the United States would withdraw all claims to the Philippines and the Ladrone islands. President McKinley is said to have answered: "When such a representative makes such a proposition it will be time to answer." He further is quoted as saying that Spain must make a definite proposition looking to peace. The only terms which the United States will consider, it is said, are Cuban 'ndependence, free and absolute; the permanent occupation of the Philippines and La drones for an indefinite period, and Spain to pay an indemnity, the amount to be decided by the United States. London: France's new foreign minister, M. Delcosse, has notified the Spanish ambassador at Paris. Senor Leon Castillo, that the French government is ready to tender the good offices of the French ambassador at Washington in opening negotiations for peace, if the Madrid government will permit it. Madrid: It is asserted that the United States makes the foMowing demands as conditions of peace: 1. The possession of Cuba and Porto Rico, with a port in the Canaries. 2. An indeinnity of $240,000,000. 3. 7f he'ref efilloo" "of the Philippines as a guarantee of the payment of the indemnity. These terms are regarded as impossible. SptfeHftrllavel- Prisoner*. The auwWsry bruiser St. Louis w i ^ i ; more than 746 Spanish naval prisoners, including Admiral Cervera and 53 other officers, arrived in Portsmouth N. II. Admiral Cervera was confined t o his cabin, Capt. Eulate, who was commander of the Vizcaya. was also quite ill, having been wounded in the head during the battle of Santiago. All of the Spanish commissioned officers were on parole and had the freedom ot the ship with one exception, the governor of Santiago de Cuba who was trying toescape on Admiral Cervera's flagship when she was destroyed. He refused to sign the parole papers and was consequently confined in one of the cabins under guard. The remainder of the prisoners were confined between decks and closely guarded by 28 marines from the Brooklyn, and 21 marines from the Marblehead. Admiral Cervera and! about 80 other officers will be detained at the Annapolis naval acadamy while the other Spaniards will be confined at Portsmouth.

Yet, a woman, sad and solitary, and well-nigh despairing. The mass of a London crowd is t o o i n - tent on the pursuit of pleasure t o trouble itself about the woes of a street flower-seller, forlorn and helpless though she be. Poverty and suffering are objectionable things at t h e best of times. Pleasure and pain may be akin, but they dislike being In company. She stood near one of the theaters in the Strand, trying to sell her p o s i e s - early violets—modest flower of springtime. But sentiment is dashed aside In the struggle to live; to the lonely woman on t h e curbstone m a y h a v e come visions of the dimly-remembered past when, as a free and happy girl, she plucked such flowers from sheltered nooks near the river or amongst fairy dells in the Kentish copses. Flowers in such a March seemed almost a mockery, for a driving sleet on u bitter east wind had nearly killed them and n o w strove to extinguish t h e last spark of vitality in t h e sinking flower-peller. As the last of the long line of men and women passed Into the warm theater from the March night Jenny Hayes Bank with a moan Into the gutter. Illness, starvation and despair made a breach for the bitter wind at last. The woman in the faded gray shawl had fainted, from exhaustion. "Confound h e r ! " exclaimed stalwart Number Forty-two. "Just my luck! Gets the crowd in ,and then a bloomin' flower-girl wants lookin' after. Come along.", continued the officer, shaking the gray bundle; "none of your nonsense, n o w ! I can't allow i t ! " But the bundle stirred not. ~ "Oh.don't hurt her." pleaded a y o u n g woman w h o was hurrying by. "Take her in there., I'll look after her, poor thing!" Maybe the glance of her bright eyes and t h e coldness of the night won the heart of the lav/'s representative; anyhow, without further demur, he carried the insensible woman, who w a s as light as a child, Into the main saloon of a neighboring restaurant, ahlaze with light and agog with visitors. So charmed w a s the policeman with his fair Samaritan that be laid h i s burden on a settee with a tenderness as welcome as it w a s unexpected. At the next table a lady and gentleman who were quietly discussing a most enjoyable repast looked with surprise at the unusual scene. "Do you know w h o she Is?" queried the young woman. "Well, miss." replied the constable, "I have heard her called Jenny Hayes." "What!" exclaimed the gentleman at the neighboring table. "Jenny Hayes? Never! Surely a mistake!" He came over to the group and begged pardon for Intruding. "Could he help? He had once known a lady of that name." A stimulant w a s procured, and after ho- woman regained conscious ness. only to find, gazing with deep concern at her, t h e kindly gray eyes of her schoolmate and playfellow, Philip Vane. Yes' without a doubt It w a s Jenny [&4 mm S A N K W I T H A MOAN. Hayes, a friend of his childhood; but O, what a change. She knew h i m instantly. "Phil! Mr. V a n e ! Thank God! I am 60 glad. I shall get better now, but I am so tired." In a moment he s a w that her only fault was poverty. As he looked into those honest eyes he realized that through t h e mire of a London life she had passed uncontaminated. Jenny w a s astonished to see s o many friends around her. The lady with Philip Vane w a s his sister, w h o proved unremitting In her attentions. The world had changed, indeed. Even t h e burly policeman smiled. Whv not? Policemen have hearts, sometimes, like other feiiJi. Atnybow, it w a s all pleasant for the tired woman, w h o , as s h e looked in the earnest face of Philip Vane...and. felt the clasp of h i s hand, knew that she had found a friend at last. After long years. Fate again w a s kind. Fifteen years a g o , when little more than a girl, she w a s taking all London by storm with her wonderful dancing. A t that time Philip Vane w a s on t h e high road to success a s a m i n - ing engineer. Had s h e willed h e might h a v e loved hor, but she did not—they had always bean friends, nothing more. Then he went t o the Cape tor a mln* log. aypdlcftte, where for years h e h a d been prospecting in the interior, never doubting that h i s little sweetheart had married well and forgotten her youth' ful swain. A l a s ! while he was prospering, s h e met with her great misfortune. She w a s doing an engagement at t h e Royal Music hall the week it w a s burnt down. At great risk to her own life she saved a child belonging t o one of the waiting-women, but sustained such an Injury to her right foot that from that moment her career as a dancer w a s ended. The world made a subscription and then conveniently forgot her existence. Her star had set. Broken in health, without friends, during those long and dreary years she had struggled for a bare subsistence. Six weeks before Philip Vane had returned from Africa with a comfortable competence and w a s visiting his sister in London. With her Jenny found refuge, and by kindly deeds and deep and earnest love they coaxed her bank t o life and health again. With returning health some of t h e beauty of her early days came back, and, although sho will have till her death the lameness that spoilt her dancing and the bitter memories of privation through which s £ e passed, yet a3 Mrs. Philip Vane she is keenly alive to the suffering in the world, for she ever remembers the joy that came into her life at the eleventh hour.— The Princess. JN " T H E V E X E D B E R M O O T H E S . " Peculiar Laws Which Apply to Women as Property Holders. There are, perhaps, a larger number o f -spinsters i n Bermuda in p r e p a y X ^ p s ^ r ^ H c k a o n ^ t t e . tion to the population than in any other place on this side of the Atlantic, and it Is a curious fact that this Is the law of the land. The semi-tropical climate of the islands and the isolation have made of the inhabitants of E n g - lish stock a quiet, almost sluggish, folk of a simplicity nearly Arcadian. The w o m e n especially, many of whom live very narrow lives, never leaving these islands, are remarkable for their old-fashioned hospitality, and a natural ease of manner which seems to rise from an entire f-iith in those with whom they come In contact. Perhaps the fact that it would be very difficult for a criminal to escape from the islands may account for it, but, at a n y rate, crime is very rare there. Bermuda women are excellent housewives and bring up large families of children, some of t h e most favored young folk being sent t o the United States for educational advantages. In matters of etiquette they are far more strict t h i n Americans. As a rule, they a r e . w e l l - to-do, and live comfortably, while some of them possess ample means and enjoy mt^ch luxury. In Bermuda, as in England, property, especially real e s - tato, remains in the same family for long periods and some of the descendants of the fir3t settlers still possess land which have never passed out of their families. It is just this conservatism about property which causes the superabundance of spins!ers. N o alien can acquire a title to land in Bermuda, cither by purcha?e or inheritance. This is chiefly a precautionary measure agair.st the Portuguese who flock to the country and go In largely for onion growing. But the lav.- provides that if a woman marries a foreigner she shall lose her landed property, and shall also become incapable of inheriting any. This lav/ is naturally not popular with the women, w h o see their brothers mate with Americans and other aliens, and would fain have the same liberty. Occasionally Bermudan girls renounce their birthrights for love's sake, but as a rule t h e charms of penniless maidens are not sufficient for young men to desire them for wives, and thus many girls are doomed to single blessedness in Bermuda simply by t h e law of the land.—Boston Herald.

The first 14 eases were all from t h e q u a r t e r m a s t e r s department—teamsters and others—but later cases have appeared amontr t h e troops nearest t h e coast. All cases are mild, however. As a further precaution t h e little t o w n of Juraguacito (Siboney), where the field hospital is located, was burned under t h e orders of t h e army health authorities.

If the slave-owning of the elder Gladstone had been only a minor incident of his undertakings and kept in the background of his life, it might claim little notice. B u t it took importance from its magnitude and from the prominence of his opposition to all measures in behalf of the slaves. He maintained the discipline of the '.ash on h i s plantations to the last, and his great Dem*rara estates acquired a sinister notoriety in the abolitionist reports of t h e day. At the end, when compensated emancipation w a s decreed by the British parliament, h e received more than £75,000 for t h e slaves that had been solely his own, besides large shares of payment that c a m e t o him through h i s partnership in other estates.

A Good Kan Gone. Joseph Ferguson, an old and highly respected resident of Fowlerville, died at his home in that village on Friday, July 8, in the ninety-fourth year of his age. Deceased was born in Whitsborough, New York, January 1st, 1804, and in 1847 was married to Miss Erneline Foster. In 1863 they came to Michigan and settled in Putnam township, this county, and remained on the farm lately occupied by C. L. Bowman about 3 miles south of this village until 1893 when they removed to Fowler- ville, where they have since resided. He was the father of 14 children, 8 of whom are still living. They with an aged widow are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and a kind father. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Fowlerville, Sunday morning, July 10, Bev. F. W. Warren officiating and the remains were laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery. Additional Local. STRUCK IT QUITS RICH. James Wilcox was in Dexter on Friday last.

Jlaa Warren a a * His Friend* Had Pita* ' M M U l LUC*. Among the early prospectors In Idaho was Jim Warren, who in 1862 started out from Florence on his own account. After two or three days he camped on the stream now known at Warren's creek and began panning out. The result was encouraging, and when the assay was announced sixteen men went to Investigate the new find. The expedition hastened to Warren creek and staked out the Warren meadows for themselves and their friends. Eight men were sent back to Florence for provisions, the rest remaining to work the claims. While the eight men were gone some of those who remained discovered better diggings at Summit Flat, obtaining from $2 to $4 to the pan. The claims at Warren meadows were abandoned and new claims/ staked out on the new field. When fne men returned from Florence with the provisions they were followed by about 600 miners, who suspected that rich dirt had been found and swarmed along Warren creek and its tributaries making rich finds everywhere. The original locators were extremely fortunate in the Summit Flat diggings. Two men, named Besse and Osgood, worked together and rocked out 100 ounces the first day and forty ounces during the next forenoon. The assay office had just been established at Boise, and these 140 ounces of dust were the first receipts of the office. The gold was found to be worth $14 an ounce, the net returns of the two men for a day and a half being $1,960. In three weeks that party of sixteen men had taken out from their claims on Summit Flat 30,000 ounces of gold. Before the close of "the season 100,000 ounces were taken out, and the original members of the expedition had enough money to keep them comfortably for life. About as much more waa taken out during the next season before the bar was exhausted. Business Pointers. NOTICE.

These figures make a powerful appeal to the Imagination, if one stops to reflect on the conditions which call for such gigantic outlays: and they also illustrate the demand which modern warfare makes upon humanity's sympathetic nerve.' 1 In the collection of geraniums at the great flower-show one held undisputed kingship because of Its strength and fcriniant flowers. On the day when the fudges were making the awards, a poorly clad little girl was standing dose to this plant whispering to it •words of admiration and approval. As the Judges approached she drew aside mad was apparently much agitated. "Whose plant is this?" the leader inquired. Unable to restrain herself until they should find the number in the list »he cried out "Oh. thank yen for whom there seemed to be something strange and supernatural. Sure enough, by miraculous power, they are free.aud the sheriff, waking out of a sound sleep, and supposing these ministers have run away, and knowing that they were to die for preaching Christ, and realizing that he must therefore die, rather than go under the executioner's axe on the morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves to precipitate his own decease. But before the sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the sheriff could strike hiB heart, one of the unloosened prisoners arrestB the blade by the command, "Do thyself no harm." In olden times, and where Christianity had not interfered with it, suicide was considered honorable and a sign of courage. Demosthenes poisoned himself when told that Alexander's ambassador had remanded the surrender of the Athenian orators. Isocrates killed himself rather,than surrender to Philip of Macedon. Cato, rather than submit to Julius Caesar, took his own life, and three times after his wounds had been dressed, tore them open and perished. Mithrldates killed himself rather than submit to Pompey, the conqueror. Hannibal destroyed his life by poison from his ring, considering life unbearable. Lycurgus a suicide, Brutus a suicide. After the disaster of Moscow, Napoleon always carried with mers. tu« tneo'ogian, and held unlver- J gists sitles spellbound while he told them the »*•«- story of what, he had seen of God in the Old Red Sandstone. That man did more than any other being that aver lived to show that the God of the hills is the God of the Bible and he struck his tuning-fork on the rocks of Cromarty until he brought geology and theology accordant in divine worship. His two books, entitled Footprints qf the Creator and The Testimony of the Rods, proclaimed the bjrnns of an everlasting marriage between genuine Bcienco and revelation. On this latter book he toiled day and nigM, through love of nature and love of God, until he could not sleep and his brain gave way, and he was found dead with a revolver by his side, the cruel instrument having had two bullets—one for him and the other for the gunsmith, who at the coroner's 'uquest was examining it and fell dead. Have ybu^any doubt of the beatification cf Hugh Miller after his hot brain had ceased throbbing that winter night in his study at Portobello? Among the mightiest of earth, among the mightiest of heaven. No one doubted the piety of William Cowper, the author of those three great hymns, "O, for a C'.osor Walk with God," "What Various Hindrances We Meet," "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood "—William Cowper, who shares with Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley the chief honors of Christian hymnology. In hypochondria he resolved to take his own life, and rode to the river Thames, but found a man seated on some goods at that very point from which he expected to spring, and rodo back to hla nome, and that night threw himself upon his own knife, but the blade broke; and then he hanged himself to the celling, but the rope broke.

And more than one long-established commemoration will, because' of this year's doing*, henceforth have a significance it never has had before. The decoration day recently past marked the transformation of that observance from a day of sectional memories of inter-fraternal strife to one of national honor to the nation's heroes on both sides of the now obliterated line. The last Fourth of July marked the ending of that day's century-old traditions of bitterness against our kin beyond the sea, and aa increase of joy, among them as well as among r~ in the vast good for the developmen/'of the race that has sprang from the blunderlngs of a stubhorn king.

Frustrated affection, it about to keep it in the sunshine." domestic infelicity, dyspeptic impatience, anger, remorse, envy. Jealousy, destitution, misanthropy, are considered sufficient causes for absconding from this life by pads green, by laudanum, by belladonna, by Othello's dagger, by halter, by leap from the abutment of a bridge, by firearms. More raBes of felo de se In the last two years than any two years of the world's existence, and more in the last month than in any twelve months. The evil is more and more spreading. A pulpit not long ago expressed some doubt as to whether there was really anything wrong about quitting this life when it became disagreeable, and there are found in respectable circles people apologetic for the crime which Paul in the text arrested. I shall uhow you before I get through that suicide is the worst of all crimes, and I shall lift a warning unmistakable. But in the early part of this sermon I wish to admit that some of the best Christians that have ever lived, have committed self? destruction, but always in dementia, and not responsible. I have no more doubt about their eternal felicity than I have of the Christian who dies In his bed in the delirium of typhoid fever. While the shock of the catastrophe is very great, I charge all those who have bad Christian friends under cerebral ftberration step off the boundaries of. this life, to have no doubt about their happiness. The dear Lord took them right out of their dazed and frenzied state into perfect safety. How Christ feels towards the insane you may know from the way he treated the demoniac of Gadara and the chi d lunatic, and the potency with which he hu3hed tempests either of sea or brain.

Revelations 21:8— "Murderers shall have their part In the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." Reveation 22:15—"Without are dotjs and sorcerers and whoremongers and murdererB." Ycu do not believe the New Testament? Then, perhaps,~~you believe the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not kill." Do you say that all these passages refer to the taking of the life of others? Then I ask you if you are ret as responsible for your own life as for the life of others? God gave you a special trust in life, and made you the custodian of your life, aDd he made you the custodian of no other life. He rave you as weapons with which to defend it two arms to strike back assailants, two eyes to watch for lovasion, and a natural love of life which ought ever to be en the alert. Assassination of others »a a mild crime compared with the assassination of yourself, because in the latter case It is treachery to an especial trust; it Is the surrepder of a castle you were especially annc'ntod to keep; it is treason to a natural law, and it is treason to God added to ordinary murder. To show how God i:i the Bible looked upon this crime, I point you to the rogues' picture gallery In some paitts of the Blb'e, the pictures of the people who have committed this unnatural crime. Fere is the headless trunk of Saul on the walls of Bathshan. Here is the man who chased little David—ten feet In stature chasing four. Here is* the man who consulted a clairvoyant, Witch of Endor. Here is a mar. who, whipped in hattle. instead of surrendering his a word with dignity, as many a man has done, asks his servant to slay him, and when, that servant declined, then the giant plants the hilt of his sword in the earth, the sharp point sticking upward, and he throws his body on it and expires—the coward, the suicide! Here is Ahitophel, the Machlavelli of olden times, betraying his best friend, David, in order that he may become prime minister of Absalom, and joining that fellow in his attempt at parrlc'' Not getting what he wanted bj 0"^ se of politics, he takes a short ot, out (f a disgraceful life into the suicide's eternity. There he is, the wait till my change cornea.' Notwithstanding the Bible is against this evil, and the aversion which it creates by the loathsome and ghastly spectacle of those who have burled themselves out of life, and notwithstanding Christianity is against it and the arguments and the useful Uvea and the illustrious dea&a of its disciples Is on the Increase. What la the cause? I charge upon infidelity and agnosticism this whole thing. If there be no hereafter, or if that hereafter be blissful without reference to how we live and how wo die, why not move back the folding doors between this world and the next? And when our existence here becomes troublesome why not paea right over- into Elysium? _Put this down among your most solemn reflections. There has never been a case of suicide where the operator was not either demented, and therefore irresponsible, or an Infidel. I challenge all the ages and I challenge the universe. There never has been a case of self-flestructlon while in full appreciation of his immortality and of the fact that that Immortality would be glorious or wretched according as he accepted Jesus Christ or rejected him. Yen say it is a business trouble or ycu say It is electrical currents, or it is this or it is that or it is the other thing. Why not go back, my friend, and acknowledge that in every case it is the abdication of reason or the teaching of infidelity, which practically says: "If you don't like this life get out of it, and you wilt land either In annihilation, where there are no notes to pay, no persecutions to suffer, no gout to torment, or you will land where there will be everything glorious and nothing to pay for it" Infidelity has always been apologetic for self-Immolation. After Tom Paine's "Age of -Reason" was published—and—widelylow. I was In constant misery. I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could not walk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with my back, had headache all the time, was uervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had a bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. I was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, hut still was no better. I was advised by one of my neighbors to write to you.

It was a long and serloua and profound study, and using the same principles of evidence in this religious matter as I always do In secular matters, I have come to the decision that the Bible tea supernatural book, that it has come from God, and that the only safety for the human race is to follow its teachings."

From the window we could see the figure of a man in the moonlight; he stood motionless, hi* face uplifted to ours, and a rag of something white on his extended arm; and as we looked right down upon him, though he was a good many yard* distant on the links, we could see the moonlight glitter In his eyes. He opened his lips again, and spoke for some minutes on end, in a key so loud that he might have been beard in every corner of the pavilion, and as far away as the borders of the wood. It was the same voice that had already xhouted "Traditore!" through the shutters of the dining-room; this time it made a complete and clear statement. If the traitor "Oddlestone" were given up, all others should be spared; If not, no 0T>f» shonlri escane to tell the tale. "Well. Huddlestone. what do you say to that?" asked Northmour, turning to the bed. Up to that moment the banker had given no sign of life, and I. at least, had supposed him to be still in a faint; but be replied at once, and. in such tones as I have never beard elsewhere, save from a delirious pstlent, adjured and besought us not to dese.t him. "Enough." cried Northmour, and then he threw open the window. leaned out into the night, and in a tone of exultation, and with a total forgetfulness of what was due to the presence of a lady, poured out upon the ambassador a string of the most abominable raillery, both In English and rtalian. and bade him begone where he had co^efrom. Meantime the Italian put his flag of truce In his pocket, and disappeared, at a lefpurely pace, amonp the pand-bllla. "They make honorable war," said Nortbmour. "They are all pentlemen and soldiers. For the credit of the tiling. T wish we could change sides— you and I, Frank, and you too. Missy, mv darling—and leave that being on the bed to some one else. Tut? Don't InoV shocked! We are all going post to what wp rail eternity, and may as well bi» above-board while there's time. As far as I'm roncprned, if I could first strangle Huddlestone and then get Clara In my arms, f could die with some pride and satisfaction. And as it is. by God. I'll have a kiss!" Before I could do anything to interfere, he had rudely embraced and repeatedly kissed the resisting girl. Next moment I had pulled him away with fury, and flung him heavily against the wall. He laughed loud and long. I turned from him with a feeling of contempt which I did not seek to dissemble. "As you please." aald he. "You'Te been a prig in Jife; » prig you'll, die." And with that.be sat down in a chair, a rifle over his knee, and amused himself with snapping the levk. AH this time our assailants might have been entering the bouse, and we been none the wiser; we had in truth almost forgotten the danger that so imminently overhung our days. But just then Mr. Huddlestone uttered a cry, and leaped from the bed. J asked him what was wrong. "Fire!" he cried. "They have set the house on fire!" Northmour was on his feet in an instant, and be and I rail through the dcor of communication with the study. The room was illuminated by a red and angry light. Almost at the moment of our entrance a tower of flame arose in front of the window, and. w.ih a tingling report, a pane fell inward on the carpet. They bad set Are to the leaa-to outhouse, where Northmour used to nurse his negatives. "Hot work!" said Northmour. "Let us try in your old room," We jran thither Is atbre*th, threw up the casement and looked forth. Along the whole back waif of the pavilion piles of fuel had hem arranged and kindled, and It ,1B probable they had been drenched with mineral oil, for, In spite of the morning's rain, they all burned bravely. The fire had taken a firm hold already on the outhouse. There was not a human balsa; to be seen to right or left "Ah, well!" tald Northmour, "aere'a the end, thank God." And we returned to "My Uncle's Room." Mr. Huddlestone was putting on bis boots, still violent!* trembling-, but with an air of determination such as I bad not hitherto observed. Clara stood close by him. with her cloak in both hands ready to thxqjr about bar shoulders, and a strange look in her eyes, sa if the-w*re half hopeful, half doubtful of her (athcr. "Well, boys and «rtrls.M said Northmour. "how stout a sally? The oven Is heetlwr. It % not good to stay here and be baked, and. (or my part. I want to come to my bands with them and be done." 'There is nothing else left," I replied. And both Clara and Mr. Huddlestone, though with a very different intonation, added. "Noth^f"" Ah we went downstairs the heat was excessive, and the roaring of the fire filled . our ears, and we had scarce reached the passage before the stairs' window fell in, a branch uf flame shot brandishing through the aperture, and the Interior of the pavilion became lit up with that dreadful and fluctuating glare. At the same moment ws heard the fail of something heavy and inelastic in the upper floor. Northmour and I cocked our revolvers. Mr. Huddlestone, who bad already refused a firearm, put us behind bim with a manner of command. "Let Clara open the door," said he. "So, if they fire a volley, she will be protected. And in the meantime stand behind me. I am the scape*c<dt: my sins have found me out." I heard him, aa 1 stood breathless by his shoulder, with my pistol ready, pattering off prayers in a tremulous, rapid whisper; and I confess, horrid as the thought may seem, I despised him for thinking of supplications In a moment po critical and thrll.ing. In Ua meantime Clara, who was dead white but still possessed ot her faculties, had displaced the barr.cade from the front door. Another momenta and she had pulled it open. Firelight and moonlight illuminated the links wiih confused and changeful luster, and far away against the sky we could see a long trail of glowing smoke. Mr. Huddlestone, filled for the moment with a strength giea er than his own, struck Northmour and myself a back-hander in the chest, and while we were thus for the moment incapacitated from action, lifting his arms aaove his bead like one about to dive, he ran Btraight forward out of the pavilion. "Here am I!" he cned—"Huddlestone! Kill me, and spare the others." His sudden appearance daunted, I suppose, our hidden enemies; for Northmour and I had time to recover, to seize Clara between us one by each arm, and to rush forth to his assistance, ere anything further had taken place, But scarce had we passed the threshold when there came near a dozen reports and flashes from every direction among the hollows of the links. Mr. Huddlestone staggered, utteted a weird and freezing cry, threw up his arms over his head and fell backward on the turf. "Traditore! Traditore!" cried the invisible avengers. s And Just then a part of the roof of the pavilion fell in, so rapid was the progress of the fire. A loud, v&sjue and horrible noise accompanied the collapse, and a vast volume of flame went soaring up to heaven. Huddlestone, although God knows what were his obsequies, had a fine pyre at the moment of his death. CHAPTER IX. I should have the greatest difficulty to tell you what followed next after this tragic circumstance. It is all to me, as I look back upon it, mixed, strenuous and ineffectual, like the struggles of a sleeper In % nightmare. Clara, I remember, uttered a broken sigh and would have fallen forward to earth had not Northmour and I supported her insensible body. I do not think we were attacked; I do not remember even to have seen an assailant; and I believe we deserted Mr. Huddlestone without a glance. I only remember running like a man in a panic, now carrying Jiara altogether in my own arms, now sharing her weight with Northmour, now scuffling confusedly for the possession of that dear burden. Why we should have made for my camp in the Hemlock Den, or how we reached it, are points lost forever to my recollection. which I became aeunitUy sure. Clara had been suffered to fall against the outside of my little tent, Northmour and I were tumbling together on the ground, and he, with conunued ferocity, was striking for my head with the butt of his revolver. He had already twice wounded me on the scalp, and It is to the consequent loss of blood that I am tempted to attribute the sudden clearness of my mina. I caught him by the wrist "Northmour," I remember saying, "you can kill me afterwards. Let us first attend to Clara." He was at that moment uppermost. Scarcely had the words pa&sed my lips, when he had leaped to uu test and ran toward the tent, and the next moment he was straining; Clara to his heart and covering her unconscious bands and face with his caresses. "Shame!" I cried. "Shams to you, Northmour!" And. giddy though I still was, I struck him repeatedly upon the head and shoulders. He relinquished his grasp, and faced me in the broken moonlight •T~ha<T you under and let you go." said he; "and now you strike me! Coward!" "You are the coward." I ret or 4 d. "Did she wish your kisses while she was still sensible of what the wanted? Not she! And now she may be dying; »nd you waste thS rrrc'ovis Urns, abuse her helplessness. Stand aside, and 1st me help her." He confronted me for a moment* white and menacing; than suddenly he stepped aside. "Help her, then," said ht. I threw mysslf on my knees beside her and toMsned, as well as I was able, her dress and corset; but while I was thus engaged, a grasp descended on my shoulder. "Keep your hands off her." said Nortbmour, fiercely. "Do you think 2 have no blood in my veins?" "Northmour," I cried, "if you will neither help b< surself nor let me do so, do you kno„ I shall have to, kill you?" "That is betterV he cried. "Let her die, also; where's the harm? Step aside from that girl and stand up to fight." '•vou will obierve," sa'd I. half-rising, "that I have not kissed •**» yet" "I dare you to!" he criea I do not know what pos-scssen me; it was one of the things I sm n-ast ashamed of in my I fe, though as my wife used to say, I knew that my Irises would be always welcome were >*ht dead or living; down I fell again upon my knees, parted the hair froi- ^er forehead, and, with the dearest respect, laid my lips for a moment on that cold brow. "And now.'* said I, "I am at your service, Mr. Northmour." But I 6aw, to my surprise, that he had turned bis back upon me. "Do you hear?'' I asked. "Yes," said he, "I do. If you wish to fight, I am rendy. If not. go on and save Clara. All Is one to me." I did not wait to be twice bidden; but, stooping again over Ciara. continued my efforts to revive her. She still lay white and lifeless; I began to fear thatJxer sweet spirit bad indeed fled beyond recall, and horror and a sense of utter desolation seized upon my heart I called her by name with the most endearinginflec ions; T chafed and beat her hands; now I laid her head low, now supported it against my knee; but all seemed to be in vain, and the lids still lay heavy on her eyes. "Northmour," I said, "there is my hat. For God's sake bring some water from the spring." Almost in a moment he was by my side with the water. "I have broupht It In my own," said he. "You do not grudge me the privilege?" "Northmour," I was beginning to say, as I laved ber head and breast, but he Interrupted me savagely. "Oh, you hush up!" he said. "Th> best thing you can do is to say naofh- Ing." I had certainly no desire to talk, my mind being swallowed up in concern for my dear love and her condition; so I continued In 6llence to do my b"»st toward her recovery, and when ttie hat was empty, returned It to him w tft one word—"More." He had. pertt-TJsr gone several times upon this errand when Clara opened her eyes. "Now," said he, "since she is better, you can spare me, can you not? I wish you a good-night, Mr. Cassllls."

Kvery traveller know* that continuous tetrraeyiinr °U the railroad ia very apt to derange t i e system in aome way. In apite oi springs and soft aeaU there » a continuous Jar and vibration, which acts upon the nervous system, and produces results varying somewhat, according to the strength of the traveller or his predisposition to some specific ailment The most common consequence of continuous car riding is constipation. And this condition invariably produces headache, and tends to biliousness. J. J. Converse, St. Louis, Mo., found a way to. avoid the evil effect* of constipation, to which he was subject when travelling. lie carried with him "the pill that will" cure constipation and all its sequent sufferings. This, is what he says: "Travelling on the cars tends to const!, pation with me, but by using I>r. J. C, Ayer's Pills moderately, my bowels are kept in healthy action. They also prevent headache."—J. J. CONVEK*JE, S t Louis, Mo. •Dr. Ayer'a rills are pood for constipation vnder all circumstances and conditions. They have cured long standing cases after every other medicine had failed, kev. Francis B. Harlowe, of Atlanta, Oa., fust nishes a ease ia point. B e wrius; "For some years past, X was subject te constipation, from which 1 suffered increasing inconvenience, in spite of the use of medicines of various kinds, until some months ago, when I began taking Dr. J.

Constipation is, perhaps, the most serl* ous physical evil of to-day. It is like the Octopus, that grapples its victim and fastens its tentacles on trunk and limb* one after another, until at last, incapable of longer resistance, the helpless being succumbs to his frightful foe. Constipa* tion is the beginning of many of the most murderous maladies, the clogged system becoming charged with poisons that affect the liver and kidneys, and prostrate the entire being mentally, morally, a i d physically. Dr. Ayer's Pills will cure constipation. If you doubt it send for Dr. Ayer's Curebook, free, containing the testimony of those cured by this remedy. Address J.

"There had been no rain for weeks, and the corn and cotton were burning up in the fields. The creeks had begun to dry up, and even springs that had never been known to fall gave signs that their supply of the aqueeous fluid was running low. It began to look as though relief could never come from the heavens. Day after day a biasing sun shone down from a cloudlets sky, blistering and withering all vegetation and oppressing the hardworking sons and daughters of the land with a fear that distress would soon be their portion— distress that might take on starvation's form. About this time tUo religious people of the county began to hold prayer meetings to invoke assistance of the Deity. In every community the good old farmers and their families assembled to pray for rain. This was at an epoch when the scientific ideas about producing rain from explosives had not gained a foothold, and no fakirs went about, as they lately have does in Kansas aod other parts of the West, offering to bring showers at so much per shower. No, indeed; these were the times of simple faith and belief in the efficacy of supplication to the Omnipotent In one neighborhood In tbe eocnty of Coweta, . where the drought was particularly on that date 011 all y severe, a prayer meeting had been making special fast time to Niag- f catted for a certain day, and at the ara Falls. Tickets sold on the 29 of July as per programmes issued, will be valid to return up to and including Wednesday, Aug. 3, (leaving Niagara Falls not later than the night train of Aug. 3rd.) This is a rare opportunity to visit the greatest natural wonder of the world, and also to have a view of the Grand Trunk single arch double track steel bridge across the Niagara river, the largest of its kind in the world.

Coming to this country as fast as ocean steamer can bring her is the young wife of Carl J. Gryn, who is engaged In business as broker and insurance agent at 15 Bridge street, Paterson, N. J. The pair were wedded i a few days ago while the groom was in Paterson and the bride in Amsterdam. Qryn's father Is a well-to-do broker in Amsterdam. The latter desired that his son should follow in his business, but the young man refused, declaring that he intended to travel. Father and son quarreled, with the result that the latter left home. He was then only 18 years old. After two years of rough life Gryn obtained a position with the Netherlands embassy in London and while there was discovered by Melndert Van Huystel, a merchant of Amsterdam, who toldjhli father of his whereabouts. He became ' reconciled with his father and returned to his home in Amsterdam, only to fall deeply in love with Van Huystel's daughter. His attachment was reciprocated, but the parents would not consent to an immediate marriage, as Miss Van Huystel was scarcely 17 years old. Gryn again became enraged and left home, coming to this country and embarking in business with Eugene Murray in Paterson. He received a letter from Miss Van Huystel four weeks ago, saying she had gained the consent of both his and her parents for their marriage and - asked him to name the day. Gryn had sworn when he left home that he would never set foot there again and he determined to live up to his resolve. Miss Van Huystel, however, wrote that her parents were too aged to cross the ocean and had declared that the marriage must occur at home, and he was in a dilemma until a lawyer friend suggested marriage by proxy. Gryn empowered William H, J. Ten Henzel of Amsterdam as his proxy. The Official seal of the consulate In New York city was affixed by William M. B. Grovenhoret, vice consul, and the document was forwarded to Amsterdam. Gryn received a cablegram saying that Miss Van Huystel had appeared with Ten Henzel before Burgomaster Meinerz and had been married. The bride added that she intended taking a steamer that day for this country. Gryn says that when his bride arrives the religious wedding ceremony will be performed In the Dutch Reformed church of New York city.

It was unanimously agreed that the letters wera prophetic of something, but what? One lady suggested that it meant "Olve Sinners Help." Another suggested that it meant "God Sends Help." Still another said it meant that "God Saves Heathens."" Another declared that it meant that "God Sendx^Hafmony." A certain old lady, who is well known for her religious devotion, had not taken part in the discussion, but sat intently listening to her sisters, who were becoming quite animated. Suddenly this good old lady jumped to her feet, and in tones of exultation declared that she had figured out what the letters on the egg Btood for. With the fire of righteous indignation sparkling in her eyes, she declared that tha letters meant "Give Spain Hell."

We occasionally hear one say during these hard times that the interest in fine poultry is on the wane, says a writer in Breeder and Horseman. Well, perhaps it is, not though, from any oversupply or lack of appreciation, but merely because the masses of people feel that this is the season of economy, and do not care to invest money In anything not absolutely necessary. Fancy poultry to-day has a firmer hold on the American people than ever before, and the dawn of prosperity wM prove the wisdom of those who have pinned their faith in its future. Only last week a wealthy gentleman paid a well-known breeder $60 for six Barred Plymouth Rock females and one male, and those who have seen the fowls candidly say the price was low. Those who can breed above the average will always find a market and the nearer the Individual approaches perfection the higher the prices he can get. There was a time when tew knew anything of fancy fowls, and as a result almost any kind of mongrel specimens could be sold at good prices, but that-day has passed. Now every man you meet has a very definite Idea of at least the moet prominent breeds, and as a consequence only the very best birds can find purchasers. This is perhaps one reason why the demand has apparently fallen off, the buyers preferring to wait rather than take any bet the highest class. Stick to fancy poultry, and yon will see the revival of that interest which the tour years of panic have lulled to rest Likely t o B e H i g h When One Wants S o m e t h i n g Unique. The aesthetic person who desires a unique door handle for his favorite room must pay for the privilege.

Resp'y Home From Mackinac. The party who visited Mackinac Island the past two weeks, returned home on Saturday last. Tbey report an excellent time and much cooler weather than they found on reaching home. Visitors were jast beginning to come to the Island in great numbers and every hotel and boarding house was full. While there the party put up at the Palmer House, and the genial proprietor, L. J. Jollie did all in his power to make the visit a pleasant one. Mr. Jollie has been a resident of the Island for about 40 years and is a good person to go to for information. The hotel is situated very pleasantly and conveniently on the beach, only about three minutes walk from the wharf. On taking our leave, Mr. Jollie presented the editor of the DISPATCH with an old key and a ugrape shot'1 that were found while excavating to make improvements* They are relics of the war of 1812 and are much prized by the editor. A surveyor, Byron E. Cubley of St. Ignace, is plotting out land for cottages and many improvements are being made every year. While on their visit, the party went to St. Ignace and called upon Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Reeve, who were formerly residents of this place. They were in excellent health and enjoying themselves in their new field of labor. Of course they were glad to see anyone from the old home and they entertained us right loyally. The party returned home more enamored than evir with the Island and its scenery.

They are members of the 33d Bod 34th Michigan volunteers. Army regulations forbid giving out information regarding hospital patients, but it Is known that none of the Michigan men Are in danger, the majority of the •rounds being minor gunshots received » t the battle of Aguadores. Some of t h e members of the 33d who were •eeerely wounded were left at Siboney, a* their condition was too critical for t h e n to undertake such a journey. 6ome of the men now in the hospital trill be well enough to go home on furtough shortly, as the air is having a beneficial effect and everything possible LB being done for the sick and •rounded.

DaffleUTs Brigade Isolated. It is altogether likely that the outbreak of yellow fever will put an effectual stopper upon any further military operations by the men of Brig.- Gen. Buffield's command as well as subject them to an indefinite stay at Santiago. The war department has decided to isolate the 33th and 34th Michigan and Ninth Massachusetts regi tnents until all danger of their spreading the fever is past. They will be placed upon the high altitudes surrounding Santiago, where it is said the fever can be easily combated. None of the command will be, sent to Porto Rico or on any other expedition, but as soon as it is safe to do so they will be brought back home. The following dispatch has been received from Santiago: "Gen. Duffield has yellow fever; is at the hospital, but is doing nicely." Many Tax Titles Invalid. The supreme court decision in the Hughes-Jordan case is likely to spread consternation among tax title dealers. The court holds that the auditor-general cannot convey a good title from the state to lands upon which taxes remain a lien whether the}' have been returned to his office as delinquent or not. The auditor-general, it is held, must require evidence of the payment of all taxes which have become a lien upon the property before he can* issue a deed, and as this requirement of the law has not always been strictly complied with, there are undoubtedly many invalid titles outstanding.

The flag- that w a s raised over the city of Santiago at the time of the aarrender and which was selected for this purpose, was carried by a Michigan regiment through the late war and was sent to Secretary Alger by a number of his old comrades, who requested that it should be the first flag raised when Santiago surrendered to t h e American army.

Washington: After three dayB' consultation between President McKinley, Secretary Alger and Maj.-Gen. Brooke, during which there was frequent communication with Gen. Miles at Siboney, the details of the Porto Rican expedition were perfected and the expedition itself was gotten under way, Gen. Miles with some artillery and troops sailing from Santiugo for Porto Rico on the auxiliary cruiser Yale, to be followed quickly by an army of about 30,000 men. The same day Gen. Miles sailed from Santiago three regiments of volunteers embarked at Charleston, S. C, for Porto Rico and others will follow from various ports as rapidly as transports can be provided and made ready for the joui'ney. Maj.-Gen. Brooke will be the senior officer in Miles1 command and upon him will full the responsibility for the execution of the details of his superior's plans. The part which the navy is to take in the assault against Porto Rico has been fully matured. The several transport fleets will have with' them one or two auxiliary craft carrying strong secondary batteries. Secretary Long said that no time had been fixed for the departure of Admiral Sampson's fleet for San Juan. Aa« to> the-naval plans he would only say that they would co-operate in every way with the movements of the army. The movement of the ships from' Santiago to their new fields of action will begin at once, and it is probable that some of Admiral Sampson's-ships-were detached and proceeded with Gen. Miles' first expedition toward Porto Rico. They will be needed to cover the debarkation of the troops on- Porto Rican soil. The others will follow as soon as the full army expedition' is ready to make a landing, when the attack will begin simultaneously from land and sea, The purpose of Secretary Alger is tomake the Porto Rican campaign a short one. An overwhelming force will be thrown upon the island, and it is expected that the Spanish will soon become convinced that they have no reasonable chance to resist successfully. The expedition is to comprise 30,000 men at the start, and it will be swelled soon to 40,000 men, and if necessary to 70,000 men, the equipment of the volunteer forces having now progressed so well as~to w arrantrt he statement^that that number of men can be ready for service in Porto Rico in a short time: The preparations are to be more complete and ample than have ever beforebeen made by any government in any enterprise of a similar nature. Shipssnd men, hospitals and supplies, doctors and nurses, ammunition and provender, artillery and fittings, ail are to receive such care as to make the enterprise a swift and deadly one for Spanish hopes in the. remaining island of the West Indies dominated by Spain. It is probable that the preliminary expedition will make its first landiag at Porto Ponce, on the south coast of Porto Rico. Ponce, the second oitoy e* the island, has a harbor that can fioat ships of 25 feet draught. It. is healthy, has plenty of good water and: is, defended only by a couple of small batteries. The 0,000 regulars and the artillery with Miles can hold the place and, having established a base of operations, Gen. Brooke can bring on bis army of occupation and land his ferees with deliberation. It. is. the expectation of the secretary of war that bv August 1 an army of 40,000 men will encamped on Porto Rican soil. The entire bodv of troops at Tampa will be taken, numbering: 13.000 men, and including a lot of heavy and light artillery under command of Gen. Rodgers. The expedition will b e particularly strong with-artillery* as some of that at Santiago, commanded by Gen. • Randolph, is to be drasm upon. The Tampa troops are known a s the Fourth corps under Ma>-Gem. Coppinger, comprising the Eleventh, and Nineteenth U. S. infantry, Second New York, Fifth Maryland, Third Pennsylvania, 157th Indiana, First Ohio, Third Ohio, Fifth Ohio* First Florida, 33d Michigan, 69th New York, Second Georgia, the provisional cavalry brigade under CoL Noyes. and consisting of detachments of the First, Second, Third, Sixth and Tenth U.

The hurdle-roads of Cuba that connect the coast plain with the uplands can be demolished at short notice, or switched off into a man-traw, and where the traveler at last emerges from the Gehenna of the three M's, the region of mudpuddles, mosquitoes and malaria, death may lurk in the overhanging rock and defiles that afford superlative facilities for ambuscades, for the rocks are bush-shrouded. Avalanches of boulders can be tumbled down the roadside precipices directly in front of supply-train.

If you have not got that kind, and pretend to have any at all, you are a hypocrite and not on the road that leads up to the Celestial city, you will enter no pearly gates nor pass over any streets paved with gold as you go onward but not upward.

In the Georgian period men aad women alike sported gilt buttons. Great was the appreciation shown wfeen the shank was first appended to the metal button; its inventor realized a fine fortune. Now a variety of materials are called into play—glass, bone, born, papier mache, stones of all kinds, eaamel, china, gutta pereha, ivory and xylonite. More than 100 years ago but. tons were made of cloth. Bohemia is famous for glass buttons, Paris for painted china, cloti and metal being mostly British productions. Some ingenious people collect buttons as curiosities and some employ them for decorative purposes. News comes to us of a garden where the flower beds are bordered with buttons set in cement.

Kissing may not be dangerous, but it often causes palpitation of the heart. Some men hatch up excuses to call on their neighbors just about dinner time.

The number of dead heroes' sons is not so large that everybody must needs make a fuss when one of them gets a slight military or naval honor. We notice that the "gilded gang" in Roosevelt's regiment—that is, the sons of rich men—are taking their share of the roughing business with the utmost cheerfulness; and the names of Logan, Blaine and Grant are carried by very promising men. Besides, if they make mistakes, with the eyes of the country on them, won't they catch it? \ Alfonso plays-with toy soldiers, some of them representing Americans and some Spaniards, and in every sham battle the former get whipped. On the last day that the prince imperial of France was at the Tuileries he played with toy soldiers, and the German half of them were bacny beaten. The next day his little majesty went with his papa to the front, and presently got his baptism of fire. "He picked up a spent ball," says the account, "and the soldiers wept at his temerity." In a few weeks Louis Napoleon was a prisoner and an exile, and the empress and the prince imperial joined him at Chiselhurst. Soon the ex-emperor died, and a few years thereafter the prince went to South Africa and was killed by Eavages. C01IJCT OF OUR"WAR As Compared With Other Wars, Uncle Sam Has Made a Record; Progress Has Been Satisfactory. Th* Association des Dames Francalses of Havre. France, which is composed of ladies and gentlemen of the best families in that city, and which was founded in 1882. for the purpose of rendering aid to wounded soldiers In time of war. has sent a communication to the American consul at Havre advising him that 500 francs Is to be expended by the society for the wounded in the American army. The letter says: "Tb» cbmmHte* ha* imt forgotten the aid rendered az.d the assistance offered tbn French army during the war of 1870, and it trusts that the irterest now taken by the French people in your behalf will serve not only to assure you >f our profound sympathy but also dispel any unhappy misunderstanding that may ••• ureseut ex 1st" That is a mean nature wh'ch tan see co. good and acknowledge no capacity ;n an enemy. Heroism is heroism still, tho«i£h a foe display it Here is a story of bravery from a London journal, and the hero was a surgeon of the Spanish army in Cuba. In the course of an engagement he proceeded to the front line to help the wounded. Forthwith a bullet shattered his kneejoint With the help of his assistants be dressed his wound, and then went to work. Disabled and suffering, under a hot fire, the surgeon performed no less than twenty-four major operations on strieken soldiers. Could any American have well shown more courage, patience, unselfishness? This man and his nation will one day cease to be at enmity with us, but need we wait till that happy day before praising Spanish merit? There are some persons in the United States and a good many elsewhere who find much cause for complaint in what they are pleased to term the dilatory prosecution of Uncle Sam's war against the Spanish Dons. Were these kickers thoroughly familiar with the annals of the present century they would know that to date events have moved with remarkable rapidity since the beginning of hostilities last April. It la true that the Franco-Prussian war was shoved along with much greater celerity and so, perhaps, was the war between the Italo-Prussian alliance and Austria, but in these two cased conditions were so different from those prevailing in the present war that comparisons are by no means fair. In neither case was it necessary for the aggressive nation to put to sea, let alone expand a little group of between 20,000 and 30,000 fighting men, barely enough to maintain military organization, to an effective army of Invasion. Prussia and France are contiguous, and it was only necessary for the Prussians to advance to the French frontier to begin operations, and conditions were not less favorable to the expedition of operations in the Austro- Prussian war. Besides, all parties were ready for both these wars, having been perfecting military organizations for many years. The only wars fought In this half century that can be compared with the current one with any degree of fairness were the Crimean war of 1S54-">G, and the conquest of Egypt in 18S2. Both were conducted with much greater deliberation than that with which our operations against Spain have been carried on. Yet in both instances the aggressive nations were provided at the beginning with thousands more trained soldiers than the United States possesses even yet. Moreover, in the Crimean war, England was not fighting single handed, being in alliance with France, while In the Egyptian operations England had the moral support of every European power, and her antagonists were all Asiatic or African blood—people totally unable by natu-e to put -up—ar winning fight against Europeans. It is now two months and four days since the present war began, on April 22, by the Nashville's capture of the Buena Ventura. Since th*a the United States forces have completely destroyed one Spanish fleet in waters thousands of miles from home, annihilated another on this side and the conquest of an enormously rich group of islands Is virtually accomplished. From an effective fOi'ce of less than 30,000 men the army has been increased to more than 100,000, and the new troops are being rapidly transformed into one of the most effective fighting organizations In the world. Events moved vastly slower in the Crimean war. For causes which neod not be explained here, England and t ranee, acting jointly, declared war against Russia on March 28, 1854. Instantly the mobilization of large uasses of troops was begun both by the French and the English. Considering the inferior means of transportation then existing, they were moved eastward with commendable celerity, for, after spending some time at Galllpolis and other Oriental localities. they landed at Varna on May 29 of the tame year. This, however, it will be observed, was almost -exactly as long after the declaration of war against Russia as the period which has now elapsed since the capture of the Buena Ventura, the first act of the present war, and there was no end of complaint, both in England and France, J over the delay. ' But the war was not ictually begun by the end of '£54. tided at once upon an expedition \ igalnst the Crimea, but they took their •ime, and plenty of it, before they got down to business, for they didn't embark their forces until September 3,; and the voyage from Varna to Old Fort, near Eupatoria, about thirty miles from Sebastopol.was not finished untl the middle of the month. Lord Raglan**or the English and Marshal St. Arnaud for the French had charge of the allied forces, amounting to 58,000 men and they were landed on Sept. 14, 15 and 16. The battle of Alma, the Russians numbering between 40,000 to 50,0Cn men, was fought four days later, and resulted in a complete rout for the Russians, but the war lasted until April, 1856, two long and weary years and more after the declaration of hostilities. It was five and a half months after the declaration before the first shot was fired, and nearly eleven months after the destruction of the Turkish fleet by the Russians (at Sinope, November 30, 1853), which virtually Insured war between France aiv.l England on one side and Russia on the other. Now for the Egyptian campaign. It was in the last week of May, 1SS2, thnT Arab! Pasha seized the reins of power in Cairo.

Yet England is not now held to have acted unwisely in the Egyptian campaign. The result was, of course, complete victory for the, British arms and a highly beneficent extension of civilization followed the em'.ing of the war, much similar to that wtitch is bound to follow the close of the war between the United Stales and Spain. THRILLINO BURGLAR STORY. In Which Two Phn*d«rlpul» Women Are Coucerneil. An elderly woman and her daughter living in Philadclph a have been spending the last few days in recuperating from a nervous shock they recently received, each blaming the other as tha cause of the trouble. The elderly woman is slightly deaf, and lives In constant dread of burglars, and to additionally fortify her room at night she ha3 tal-cn to standing a stick between the lower sash of her window and the c:ising above, so that it cannot be opened. The other night she was awakened'by hearing a racket in her room, and finally, mustering up enough courage to look arotind, she discovered that her sfck had fallen from the window to the floor, behind the sewing machine. She arose, went to the machine and leaned over it to reach the stick. Meantime the daughter had be*n awak'.ncd by the same noise, and, fearing that a burglar had entered her mother's room and would frighten her to dTatli7"~sTTe_^rrrTe^~To""lh^estigate.

The control Is likely to continue where it Is placed, in European hands. 'The few states that may be called native have no promise of permanence* The destiny of the two Boer republics is absorption in British South Africa* Mr. Stead, it will be observed, Is very confident of this.ianrt he has good reason: for his confidence.* Independent Morocco and semi-Independent Tripoli, on the Me liter ranean, have no future of their own. Sooner dr later they will go to swell the possessions of Franco and othor European powers. We must regard Africa, therefore, as an appendage of Europe. The white faces which pushed back the natives and settled and erntrol the American continent from Cape Barrow to Cape Horn dominate all the other continents and the black tribes nf Africa, as well as the brown and yellow of Asia; are subject to their rule. The greatest of Asiatic kingdoms Is In the process of decay, and its partition Is already begun. It sema terribly"enjust for iho white interlopers to wrest two continents— America and Australia—from the aboriginal man Rnd make them their own; to take another from the Asiatic races and erect their standards over it, and, finally, to take Africa from the b!aeks and subject it wholly to their will.

It was a month after that before the historic bombardment of Alexandria took place. England was then in much the same situation as that in which to* United States was placed when Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila, having no army ready to occupy the city after practically destroying it. But the results were far more deplorable, since Alexandria was sacked and a large part of its buildings buruel by a half savage mob. Yet England was then, as now, one of the great military powers of the world, with many times more trained fighting men that the United States had when the war against Spain was begun. On the other hand, Arabi Pasha's army, in arms, organization and command, was about as poor as was ever lined up in fighting array. Its total strength amounted to only eighteen regiments of infantry and four of cavalry, twenty- two in all, or from 15,000 to 20,000 May, J men. It was made up wholly of Egyi> The authorities in charge de* \ tian peasants, untrained to withstand the onslaught of civilized soldiers and really worthless as military material. England's organised army at that time numbered 1318C9 men at home and 62«5S, all British soldiers, in Irdia. a head down, over the machine, evidently dead or unconscious. Though the daughter is small and frail, she desided to carry her to the bed and hurry for help. Running over, she clasped the supposedly unconscious body around the waist. Immediately the mother gave forth such a succession of biood-cuidlmg shrieks as might have been heard for squares, as she struggled in the grasp cf the long-expeced burglar, but the daughter, certain that her mother had gone mad with fright, held on for dear life and the two struggled and swayed tiii finally they both fell exhausted on the b-d. Then they realized the true situation and they've been blaming each other ever since.—Utica Observer. T0-r Requisites, an old ingrain carpet^patience and a good pair of shears. Thoroughly cleanse the carpet, then cut in strips lengthwise, each atrip a foot wide (a foot and a half will main longer fringe). The warp is drawn out, leaving the wool as fringe, and to facilitate this work I cut the strips of carpet in one inch slashes on either side, leaving in the center of the strip an inch intact to hold the fringe. The fringed strips are then doubled and sewed iu rows on a foundation of carpet. If the rug is wanted stiff, attach the under surface to a second piece cf carpet with heavy raste. The fringed rug is very handsome and the eoiors Will not fade. ,-. . . .. SUDDEN SKIRMISH IN THE PALMETTO BUSH. . An Arfeonm H«l cut. "Doesn't It disturb you whsn they have a shooting scrap next door?" asked the tenderfoot who was undergoing an Arizona hair cut. "Disturb nothln'l" answered the barber. "It gener'ly makes it easier." At this juncture the shooung began at Red Mike's saloon next door. The tenderfoot's hair rose on end, and the barber trimmed it as expeditiously as if be were shearing a hedgehog.—Chir a c Tribune. In treating of South Africa I must Include Cape Colony, Natal, Bechuanaland, the South African Republic and the Orange Free Sta^J. because want of apace forbids detail and compels brevity. The most marked advance In Africa during the next century will te in this region, because it is suitable to the constitution of the European, and for 250 years he has proved himself adapted to it, and has already founded several flourishing states wit bin it. Even the youngest state is possessed of all the advantages necessary to the fullest expansion, railways, telegraphs, and steam lines bring it in direct contact with the center of the civilized world. Nevertheless there is a peculiar condition of things in south Africa, found in no other part of the continent, which as we look forward along the coming century, satisfies us that ilere must be a troublous future In store for- these colonies and states. The worst danger I'think to be apprehended is <from the1 stubborn antagonism which exists between two such da-. termined races as the'British and the Dutch.

"There wa» a warm week in Independence, Iowa, aoxne years ago," sett the rounder, "and a novel case ot dia> mond out diamond came off during a pace meet there. The races drew as fine a lot of strong arm men, thieve*, pickpockets, and sure-thing gamblen aa ever congregated in one municipality. A atraight gambling outfit could not be found with a microscope. Soma of the more daring of the' crooks determined to make a haul and resolved to rob one of the faro banks. One of the establishments occupied a room above a store running through to an alley. This place was selected by the dealer because the dealer sat with his back to a window that opened on the alley and the drawer containing the hank roll was easily within reach. A ladder wa£ secured by the trio engaged in the job and one of the men climbed in and deftly skeaked the bank roll concontaining about $200, kept merely as a bluff, as there was no chance for t.ny man beating the game. The dealer saw the thief's hand as he drew It back, but made no outcry. The matter was reported to the owner of the game. He was a wise man and said nothing. He simply waited. He was practically certain of the Identity of the men engaged in the robbery and knew that they expected a much larger sum than that obtained. Two days afterward one of the men approached and, after condoling with him upon his loss, casually inquired how much money had been taken. "A mere trlle," was the response; "about $700 was all the thieves secured." The Inquisitive man went away and a couple of hours later there was as pretty a three-handed fight as one would wish to see in progress on the main street The Inquisitive man had become satisfied that the thief who had done the work had held out $500, told the other man about it, and the two promptly proceeded to beat up their companion in crime In a shocking way for not splitting up the amount taken in proper proportions. His protests were of no avail, for had not the actual loser admitted that $700 had been taken?" :-'ivj' '•*!• M«4«rn OMvalay. 81r Walter Raleigh's aleak has a symbol of chivalry for many y hot the little street hoy's cap in the mi> lowing story, from the Snaday Magesine, deserves an equally honorable place: The best story I know of aa Edinburgh street boy was told to me by a lady who witnessed tfce Incident.
