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.

' The election of officers of the great eamp stirred up a little excitement, but not as much as was expected. DeVere Hall, who had bean-pat forward to run for great* commander against "Daddy" ebe handed him the gun, teileng him J Boynten, beeked out at the last hour ioshoot Worden, as he was going to prill her. 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.

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.

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."

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.

"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.

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.

Br special courier from the camp of Orover Cleveland we learn that the enemy ia beginning to accept proffered bait with avidity and that a general engagement with/ terrino slaughter may be expected within a few days. The only serious hindrance to "Corporal" Cleveland's movement on the enemy's fortifications la the temporary absence of his aid de camp, Captain Robley Evans, who haa obtained a furlough to whip Bpaia before he again returns to active duty. Austria, aside from lte rulers, la sot nearly so Spanish in its smypathlea aa haa been generally supposed. 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.

Strikes are not infrequently brought on or aggravated by the arrogance or lack of sympathy of employers* and there la reaaon to believe that a comparatively recently costly and bloody outbreak would not have taken place had not the superintendent mot the representatives of the worwlagnna with curses Instead of conciliation.

Washington: Ca.pt. Charles V. Gridley, of Hillsdale, Mich., who commanded the cruiser Oiympia in the battle of Manila, died at Kobe, Japan, while on his way home from Manila on sick leave. 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. As the commander of Admiral Dewey's splendid flagship and one of the admiral's chief adrisere, Capt. Grldley achieved distinction at the-battleof ^Mantra~~bayanoVadded his previous laurels by winning high praise from his superiors in the service for distinguished gallantry and ability. Itwaa got known for, several weeks; *ftgr thg Engagement that Capt. Gridley had suffered from it, and even now the precise nature of his trouble is not disclosed, bat the navy department was notified that Capt. tiridley had been condemned by a medical board and uinvalided home.*^ Subsequent nthrices ratitasted -that *'<5apt. Grldley was suffering from the effects of a rupture supposed to have been received during the battle of Manila, but no details were given. It was not supposed that his illness was very serious as the department W*» informed that the captain was ;n company with Paymaster Gait and would leave, J^home as soon as possible. On May 28 they left Hong Kong on the steamer Coptic and it is probable that Capt. Gridley died about the time the ship reached Kobe. His ashes are being brought home, his remains faaVihg;: been. cremated at Yokhoma. John Porterfield, aa old and respected resident of Menominee, was struck and killed by the cars.

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. There must surely be great cause for secrecy, when s o many iBoanismienoes Necessity knows no law, and ttaSbei • » • confronted to preserve It same with extravagance. ~f* * f S * thinking, I mae> my way to the den. For greater sasarll/, I trod out the embers of the nrevaad lit my lantern to examiat the wound upon my shoulder. It was a trifling hurt, though it Mad freely, and I dressed it as well as I could (for Us position made it difficult to r**ssV with aosae rags and cold water frost the soiling. While I waa thus busied, I mmftify decsared war against htorttas|»«r aad U s mystery. CHAPTER IH. For two days I skulked round the pavilion, profiting by the uneven surface of the links. I became am adept ia the necessary tactics. These low hillocks and shallow dells, running one into another, became a kind of cloak of darkness for my enthralling, but perhaps dishonortblc, pursuit Y e t in spite of this advantage, I could learn but little of Northmour or his guesta. Sometimes I thought the tall must be confined to bed. for I berei the feebleness of his gait; and I though* he xeuet navel alone to- The idea, even and tb* rounc lady gather la the pavilion. then, eliaf^eaaed sue. Whether or not this pair and wife I had seen abundant to doubt the frtendllneas of their relation. 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. Promise me that you will sleep no longer in that wood. You* do not think how I stnYer; all last night I could not sleep for thinking of your pertt." "Perilt* I repeated. "Peril from whom? From Northmour?" T "Not so." she said. "Did you think I would tell him after what you s a i d r "Not .from Norihmcurr" I "Then how? From nhom? I see to W afraid of.' peal that somehow touched her, for she gave me hers at once aad even eagerly. I held it for awhile in mine and gaxed into her eyes. It was she who first tpse her hand away and, forgetting all, about her request aad the promise) she had sought to extort, ran at the top of her speed aad without turninjr till she waa east of s i g h t And then I knew that I loved her, and thought In my glad heart that ahe —she herself—was not ia*l*ereat to my s u i t Many a time aha has denied it in after days, but it was with a smiling but not a serious denial. 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.

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."

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.

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.

This afternoon in the High School auditorium wilt be held the promotional exercises of the first eight grades comprising the Primary, Intermediate and Grammar departments. Each grade will have two representatives and will be very interesting. Everyone invited. The Junior reception and banquet will be held in the opera house this evening and no pains has been spared to make it one of the most enjoyable occasions ever witnessed in Pinr':ney.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Spain's efforts to secure a foreign 4o»n proved a failure. ANN AKBOft SPEAKS. Contntetor Wool*;, of 4 * * Ar|.j«r, Mukn » PuWJo atatem*nfc.

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!

Information and Characteristics Showing What Onr Capture of the Philippine Islands Means. A surprise party 13 counted a failure by the women unless they catch the one they are trying to surprise In bed. The one who works the hardest receives the most blame. The Idle, doing nothing, are responsible for nothing. We sometimes think the growllog of the New York Evening Post's dogs of peace Is more terrible than that of tho dogs of war. Wesley Merrltt ruling In the Philippines as a sort of vice-royal representative of the sovereignty of the American people, holding sway over a territory exceeding in extent the combined area of the New England states, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, and having authority over a motley population" of from 8,000,000 to 10,000,- 000! Does not this read like a tale from the "Arabian Nights"? 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. The Argentine te shipping freely, and there is ao prospect of ma early shrinkage in India ha* not been releasing on so large a scale lately, but there ea* be no question as to the cafnett? ex that country if crop report* PANORAMA OF MANILAntNTrTTTEnilVER PASIOr ~ — -.;-.--•- ¢1.

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.

I cannot thank you enough for what your medicine has done for me; it has, indeed, helped me wonderfully. For years I w a s troubled with a n ovarian tumor, eachycar growing worse, until at last I was compelled to consult with a physician. He said nothingeould be dona for me but t o go under an operation. In speaking with a friend of mine about it, she recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, saying she knew it would cure me. I then sent for your medicine, and after taking three bottles of it, the tumor disappeared. Oh! you do not know how much good your medicine has done me. I shall recommend it to all suffering women.—Mrs. ROSA GAUM, 720 Wall S t , Los Angeles, Cal. The great and unvarying success of Lydia B.

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. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter. j Ask-your doctor if this is not tru4, j SCOTT A BOWNB, Quintets, NfW Yarit ' W%«U Kin* Cfraeefally OrttltlM Cariosity of Two Country Dealer*.

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.

Five YouDg People Drowned at Flushing as a Result of the Overturning of a How Boat—Several Important Conventions at Detroit. Michigan Bar Association* About 300 of the leading lawyers ol the state met in the splendid new room of the U. 8. circuit court in the new poatoffice at Detroit, the occasion being the ninth annual convention of the Michigan State Uar association. The annual address of President Michael Brennan was followed by a paper read by Wm. H. Wells on the subject "In Cuban Affairs the United States Has Adhered to Its Traditional Policy/' It was highly interesting, showing deep research, and was enthusiastically applauded. This was enough business for one sitting, so they adjourned for the day and took their ladies on a trolley excursion to Grosse Pointe. 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. Olemens companies) of the 34th were Che first veinnteers to leave Camp Alger for the front. They were giving a contain* #B*ewell- a4> -they n w e h e * to Dunn Loring, Va.,Xa»d boarded the car* for Newport News where they went aboard the Harvard, with an immense amount of supplies, camp equlpand ammunition. 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. Shatter Hold n Lengthy Conference and Tlslt the Insurgent General Gnrcln—llot Fighting Kxpected. are: M. A. Prince, of Alpena; A. E. Mc- Cabe, of Petoskey, and H. S. Lock ton, of Charlotte. 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. Hedrick^of Ann Arbor, a-gxat}- uate of the literary class of '00 of the U. of M.. has secured one of the Morgan, fellowships at Harvard. 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!

Colon, with the minister of marine, Capt. 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.

"Northmour," I said, "we all k n o w you h a v e a bad temper, and I am the last man to be Irritated by words.

"You have too much the advantage of me, Cassilis," he added. I complied, of course, and he listened, with several ejaculations, while I told him how I had come to Graden; that it w a s I w h o m t e had tried to murder on the night of the landing; and what I had subsequently seen and heard of the Italians. "Well," said he, when I had done, "it is here at last; there is no mistake about that, and what, may I ask, do you propose to do?" "I propose t o stay with you and lend a hand," said I.

"I believe you, my boy," h e answered, looking me in the eyes, and with great emphasis. "We have all hell upon us. that's t h e truth. You m a y believe me or not, but I'm afraid of my life."

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.

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.

"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.

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 !

"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."

The regular monthly meeting of the Putnam and Hamburg Farmers* Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Briggs on Saturday afternoon last, and although, owing to the busy season, there was not as large a crowd as usual, a very interesting meeting was held. The president being absent, Hon. G. W. Teeple presided and the usual routine of business was transacted and a short program rendered, after which the club took np the question "The Relation of the Farmer to the Temperance Question," Nearly everyone present expressed their opinion and many of them were excellent. It was decided to bold tbe next meeting at tbe grove on Portage Lake and the same committees to act except tbe waiters. Arrangements will be made to hold the picnic at tbe Bluffs and a big time is looked for. Let every member try and be present, Tbe cooking etc., will be given out as usual but everyone is expected to take plates enough for their own number.

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.

If biliousness isn't the bully of the body then what is ? When once biliousness gets the upper hand you don't dare say your stomach is your own. " Don't you dare eat that dish says biliousness, or you'll see what I'll do.'1 YOH take the dare, and you do see or rather feel, the weight of the bully's revenge. The head aches, not a regular ache, out an open and shut ache. The eyes ache, not with a dull, tired ache, but with an agressive ache, as if they were being' bored by a gimlet. I h e stomach trembles with nausea. "The whole head is sick and the whole heart is faint." There are scores of hundreds of people who live so under the dominion of this bully biliousness that they don't dare eat or drink without hit permission. There's no need of such slavery. Dr. J. C. Ayer's Pills effectually cure biliousness. "For fifteen years I have used Dr. J. C. Ayer's Pills, and find them very effective in all kinds of bilious complaints. They are mild in operation and easy to take. I prefer them to any other pill, and have yet to see the case where they have failed to cure."—A. SWANGER, Texarkana, Ark. • I have used Dr. J. C. Ayer's Pills in cases of biliousness and general disorders of the stomach and bowels and have found them to be always reliable. T h e y are less liable to gripe than other purgatives, and although in.Id iu action, they are thorough in operation. They are the best family physic that can be had."—PETER J. D U F F Y , Rockport, Texas. "Having used Dr. J. C Ayer's Pills for years andthoroughly tested them, both as a preventive and cure for biliousness, I can truthfully say that I believe them to be the best medicine for the purpose and they do all that is claimed for them."— JJMO. H- KOLB, Shark, Ark. Biliousness is In general but a symptom of a more stubborn disorder, constipation. Constipation is the root of almost all physical evils, and Dr. J. C. Ayer's Pills cure almost all these physical evils by going to the root. They cure constipation, and the consequent maladies, biliousness, heartburn, palpitation, shortness of breath, sleeplessness, nervous irritability, foul breath, coated tongue, and a score of-other miserable maladies that have their origin in constipation.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. The last that I saw, he had onee more taken up his great Bible, and with rtremutoua hands was adjust* tag hi* spectacles to read.

CO. were there as ambassadors to arrange the quarrel; hut the stillness remained unbroken save by the sea-guHa and the surt I had a weight at my heart when we desisted, and I saw that even North, mour was unusually pale. 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.)

I , says: "For several years I have been almost a eonatact sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating me and rendering me on fit for my duties at the hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy The result has bees- very aatisfaotorj and almost complete relief from the Eviction.

The communism whieh obtains In the Friendly Isles is a little embarrassing to white men who employ native servants, for it Is impossible to make the servants understand that all the food in the larder is not their property and that of their friends. But the king's chaplain got over this difficulty by making a definite arrange* ment with bis housekeeper. "Understand." said he, "that halt of every pig belongs to me and my friends. The other half Is yours." He turned the arrangement to very good account in another direction.. His garden, of which he is very fond, is fenced, but the pigs, allowed to go where they wfll, are apt to gain admission. "Now," said he to his housekeeper, "this is really too bad! You kuown you like the front half of the pig, because it contains the tongue and heart. Well, I arranged that the front half of every pig should be yours; and just look at the harm your halves are doing! My halves can do no harm. All the mischief is done by yours. If you can't keep the pigs out of the garden I shall change and keep the front halves myself." A Haudsouie Book for a Two Out Stamp. New Publication by the D. & C. Line.

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.

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. TALMAGE'S $EUK0N. " 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.

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.

The farmer who found a friend. ^ B * i Serioss results often follow a strain, especially when ft adects the back, and few pcoj.Ie are so liable to strain sa those who are tilting heavy loads of various kinds, from day to day. The teamster rarely ever o v e r u s e s his strength. Familiarity with the class of wares be handles, enables him to entirely gage the load he lifts so ss not to put an excessive burden on himself. But with the farmer It is different. He Is lifting loads of such varying weights and under such varying conditions that he is very liable to lift a little too much some day, with injurious results. Many serious affections of the great organs of the body originate in a atraia. ft was so la the case of H. R. W. Beatley, of Towner, North Dakota, A strain resulted in serious trouble with the liver. How he recovered and was enabled to feed seventy head cf stock during the winter, let him tell himself: M About s yesr ago, I sustained s n Injury In my back and shoulders by lifting a heavy weight. After s time, s liver trouble came on, which so weakened me that I could scarcely lift my hsnd to my head. While ia this condition, Z began the use of T>r. J. C.

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. "It's nuffin' to say tonight," said he, "to disrupt ds feelings 04 yous'^le daddies sn* mammies, bsi I s Jts'.goln? ter consummate dem sinners back dar by de do'." 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.

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.

The harbor of Vladivostok, till of late hermetically sealed for four or five months, has since li»8 been kept accessible through the winter; the Finniah port ot Han go is now open to commerce throughout the year.

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 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. T h e y eJLaim that there are between 15,000-and S0,- 000 people—many of them old, who will leave.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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*.

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.

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."

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.

Spanish deserters from Guantanatno say their soldiers there are absolutely starving and would surrender but for the fear of being murdered by the Americans, as their officers tell them they would be. - George H. Ellis, the only American killed in the battle with Cervera, was chief yeoman of Commodore Schley's flagship Brooklyn, in which office he succeeded Downing, the Spanish spy #iptured by secret service officers and r/ho ended his career by suicide in the Washington barracks white awaiting trial. Ellis was born at Peoria, III., In 1871. His naval career was very brief, he having enlisted on May 80, 189», and his only cruise being that whu-h resulled in his death. 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.

REVOLUTION IS MUCH FEARED. vrench Awb«Ma<Jor Trie* to Sound President MeMlnley — VnclvSatn' Wb*Ys*| to Deal With Spain Direct —ICnd ol - i the War Evidently Near. \ Madrid: Senor Sagasta went to the palace and tendered his resignation and that of the cabinet. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Have you seen a paper in the laBt month that did not announce the passage out of life by one's own behest? Defaulters, alarmed at the idea of exposure, quit life precipitately. Men losing large fortunes go out of the world because they cannot endure More than one day ot this year will henceforth be commemorated in recurring anniversaries. 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. War made these anniversaries. War will now change them for the better, and forever. liking i t it is mine!" "How could yon raise such a geranium as this?" was the astonished reply. Bhe gave a look of tenderness to the flowers and gently answered: "It was a baby stem when I got it from my mamma's coffin, and as I had nothing else to love I carried ^ h i y existence. 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."

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

They are members of the 33d Bod 34th Michigan volunteers.

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.

Near Benton Harbor for a distance of one mile, a strip of land 80 rods wide is a scene of desolation. Peach, pear and apple trees and sturdy oaks were pulled up b y the roots and twisted off. Several farm buildings were damaged and the surrounding country also suffered. In the vicinity of Traverse City and Menominee there was also much wreckage of farm property. Joseph Eatough, Fred Suddaby and Wm. McCarthy were drowned while bathing in the bay south of Gladstone. The men were alone at the time, so nothing is known as t o how they m e t their deaths, but it is supposed that one of the number cramps and in the attempt to rescue him lost their lives. Eatough w a s formerly city marshal and leaves a family; the others were single men. Suddaby was r s * engineer on the Soo lodes and McCarthy an employe at Soo railroad I shops. 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.

Pilot The following, clipped from an exchange, is the old superstition about being born on certain days of the week: Born on Monday, Fair of face; Born on Tuesday, Full of ^od^s-grace; Born on Wednesday, Merry and glad; Born on Thursday, Sour and sad; Born on Friday, Godly priven, Born on Saturday, Work for a living; Born on Sunday, Never shall want; So there's the week, And the end on't. The boy had enlisted in the army—had slipped away from home and "jined the regiment'' and the old couple worried over it until the mother decided that the father must go after him and bring the boy back. After a weary journey the old man reached the camp and saw his boy on para/fa and heard the band play "Dixie" as of old, and he got enthused and "hurrayed" louder then anyone else, and patted his boy on the shoulder and telegraphed home: Maria—the durn thing looks so much like old times that I think I'll jine'er myself! Send me my old rifle and canteen by express. Hooroar, all well.— Ypsilanti Sentinel. The Pentwater admirers of Capt Sands, of Co. A, composed largely of men from that town, insist that that company, now at Island Lake, shall have a mascot. A cute little pig, bedecked with red, white and blue ribbons, was first sent to the company, but soldier life was too much for piggie and he died. Lrst week the company received another mascot from Pentwater. It was labeled "Mason County Canary," perhaps because the people did not wish that the company should ever eat crow. He is as black as the essence of darkness. On his cage was the following salutation, from the bird: "I've enlisted in the army, My only name is Jay; My rank is that of mascot For the men of Company A." Yellnw ,J»eueelftce C u o i .

In an eastern county court, the judge was in a quandry the other day. A coat w&s in dispute. The parties were Irish, and the evidence was positive for' both claimants. After much wrangling Patrick Peters, one of the parties, proposed that he and Timothy Maguire should see whose name was on the-4Joat^^imot^js£Bjrch£ ed in vain and the coat was handed to Pat, who immediately took his knife, opened a corner of the collar of the coat and out dropped some small peas.

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. Hidden sharpshooters can demoralize a detachment of the best trained troops, and superior topographical knowledge would baffle the tactics of civilized warfare as easily as the military genius of Marshall Soult was baffled by the fox-trail stratagems of Pancho Zapirote.— From "A Guerrilla Eden" in Demorest's Magazine for August. m s • His Creed a Good One.

This is the religion we believe in and is the kind, if any, that leads to everlasting life and a seat at the right hand of the Father in the Kingdom of Glory. 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. The kind you have may answer your present purpose but when weighed in the balance will be found wanting, and the harp that you now think will be yours will be played by someope else and the devil will gather you into his sulphurous kingdom."

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.

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.

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. Did England strike a blow total force of nearly 2G0,uw> »*«.. *»a v*t it w|s no; until August 27, two njonths and %j haft af Jpr the* declaration of war, |h«t ;En»land: managed to land 2?;000 men at IsmallaTna Port Sajd, where active land operations were begun. 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

"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 $700 had been taken?" :-'ivj' '•*!• M«4«rn OMvalay. 81r Walter Raleigh's aleak has a symbol of chivalry for many y hot the little street hoy's cap in the mi> lowing story, from the Snaday Magesine, deserves an equally honorable place: The best story I know of aa Edinburgh street boy was told to me by a lady who witnessed tfce Incident. There was a Christmas treat given te poor children at a mission hall, and hundreds of little ones were assembled at the doors in sdvance of the hew of admittance, many of them barefoot Among the number was a sweet-faced little girl, who seemed lees hardened than most to the cold, for %he shivered in her poor jacket and danced from on$ foot to the other on the coal, hard stones.

Washington: The Spanish government has sued for peace, not indirectly through the great powers of Europe, but by a direct appeal to President Mc- K in ley. The proposition was formally en- submitted to the President by the French ambassador. M. Jules Cuinbon, who hud received, instructions foreign otliee at Paris to the U. S. governtender of peace formthe Spanish ministry. The proposition submitted by the ambassador acting for thi* Spanish povermnent was quite general in terms nnd was con lined to the onv essential point of uu earnest plea that negotiations be opened for the purpose of terminating tho war and arriving iit terras of peace. The communication of the Spanish government did not suggest any r.peeitlc terms of peace, nor was any reference made to Cuba, the Philippines, Porto llico or other Spanish possessions. The evident purpose of the Madrid authorities was to first learn whether the United States wonld treat on the subject of pence and after thnt to take up such terras as the two parties might suggest. Neither was there any sujrgrestiott- from the Spanish government that an armistice be established pending the peace negotiations. The President informed the ambassador that he would consult the members of his cabinet concerning the proposition, and after a decision had been arrived at M. Cambon would then be invited to the White House for a further conference and for a final answer from the United State* government. Soon after the departure of M. Camlion tho. President and members of the cabinet held an informal conference, but there was no attempt to come to a conclusion as to the repiy of this government to Spain's appeal. There was strong intimation, however, that there would be no acceptance wliieh woxild imply the stopping of the WT*r for the purpose of embarking on a vague diplomatic negotiation when the American arms were g-aiuing victories. Madrid, via Paris: The government denies that the cabinet council occupied itself with the question) of peace. Senor Sngasta denies the existence of official peace negotiations, but Duke Almoriorar del Rio. minister of foreign affairs, says negotiations of a private -due at one time been the feameof Gen.

Only 1-n horses were surrendered by the Spaniards at Santiago, all the cavalry horses have been slaughtered for food. Maj.-lien. James F. Wade has assumed command at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, now that Gen. Brooke has gone t° Porto Rico. Natives are being put to work at Santiago cleaning up the city and improving the sanitary conditions. There is very little sickness. Gen. Wood, of the Rough Eiders, has been appointed military governor of Santiago succeeding Gen. McKibbin, who returns to his old duty and who is on the sick list. Fred D.

This statement that the negotiations were of private origin was evideatly intended to have a quieting effect upon the Spanish people,, as the Spanish premier on the following day said: "We resolved on peace many days ago and made known our resolutions to the United States government- I regard as null and void and as destitute of good faith everything the Americans have done since, and I am ready to protest against it forms* ly. Spain will probably protest against an attack upon Porto Rico after the Washington cabinet had officially received Spanish overtures for peace. Should a circular note on this subject be sent to ttee powers, it will contain the exact dates of the Spanish communications, making it clear that the United States deferred its answer in order to be able to date this after the American forces had gained a footing in Porto Rico." Washington: All of the talk about the bad faith shovyn by our government in pressing- the Porto Ricart campaign during the last few days is absolutely without foundation. In addition to the representatives- of the United States, the persons qualified to speak for the government of Spain in this country make an exactly similar statement, and the alleged charges of bad faith against the United States, attributed to Premier Sagast*, are discredited as inventions designed t o prejudice the successful progress of the preset*', peace movement. Even supposing there had been pence overtures, which there had not been, military authorities regard Premier Sagasta's alleged statement that peace overtures operate to stay the course of military operations, as little short of amazing, and as directly contrary not only to the military law of tbe United States, but to the whole recognized principles of international law. In general, the international law writers agree that military operations stop only when a trsee or aa armistice is actually concluded, and that this truce or armistice must be in writing. Until then the mere preliminary overture toward a suspension of hostilities is not regarded a> any warrant for stopping the war. Military authorities, as well as the specific regulations of the United States, hold that there is no suspension of hostiliejs prior to the agreement to suspend military operations. Even then, the agreement is binding on military commanders only from the time they receive actual notice of it, In the meantime ihUitary J H O O P S ON THE MOVE. Porto Kiwi Expedition li«U>K Hurried Akiittr With Mil PuMlbl* 8pe«d. ' Gen. Miles was delayed two days in getting away from liuuntonauo faarbor. but his Porto Uico expedition was in good shape when it did get away.

Each of the four batteries have six guns, 100 horses and mules and from 140 to 175 otlieers and taen. The departure of Maj.-Gen. -Brooke and hiu entire statf from Camp Thomas for Newport News aroused intense enthusiasm in the camp as the boys saw in their commander's going good prospects- <yf etirly activities, und that is what *L1 of the boys are hoping for. By the time Gen. Brooke readied Newport News fire troops of cavalry had arrived, from Camp Alger, as follows: Troops A and C, New York, and troops A. Kami C. Pennsylvania. The Third* brigade.

S. auxiliary gunboat Gloucester. Four of the Spaniards were killed und no Americans were hurt. Tho troops were pushed forward promptly in order to capture the railroad lading to Ponce, which is only about 10 miles east of the place.

The railroads have agreed to make very low rates for the tournament, and it i.s expected thut 50,000 firemen and their friends will be in attendance. The national firemen's tournament was held at Chicago ~0 years ago. At that time there were but two state firemen's associations in the country, whereas there is now one in nearly every stute. The tournqinent to be held in Omaha will be very much more elaborate than was attempted at Chicago in 187H. There will be three times as many coptest.s and a very much larger number of competing companies and it is probable that nearly every state in the union will be represented by one or more companies.

When the stomach begins to fail in Its duties, other organs speedily become affected in sympathy, and life is simply a burden almost unbearable. Indigestion and dyspepsia are so common that only the sufferer from these disease* kuows the possibilities of misery that inhere in them. A typical example of the sufferings Of the victim of indigestion is furnished in the case of John C. 1 ritchard. He weut on for fifteen years, from bad to worse. l a spite of doctors he grew constantly weaker, and thought he would die. He got v e i l , however, acd thus relates his experience: " For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from indigestion in its worst forms.

Under orders from Rear Admiral Sampson the Annapolis, Topeka, Wa-sp and Ley den sailed into the harbor of Nipe, on the northeast coast of the province o# Santiago de Cuba, and after a furious bombardment took possession of the harbor. In the course of fin hour they silenced three forts, sank the Spanish gunboat Jorjre Juan and scattered Spanish riflemen who had taken part in the engagement. Two smaller Spani ,h gunboats which were in the fiffht with the Jorge Juan fled before the Jor^e Juan was sunk, taking refuge in small creeks, where they wero afterward found abandoned and were captured. Atter the fahore batteries were silenced and the Jorge Juan was destroyed a body of m?irines wus sent a»shore, where the Hag of (.rucc htul been hoisted over the fort. Tiie (surrender of the eity was demanded and WHS promptly complied with by the military gov/Cfnor. The Spanish flag was hauled down from the city hall. The American flag was hoisted in its st.-iid and the city was taken possession of by a company of marines fr >m the ships. The engagement lasted scarcely an hour. Not a man was hurt or a vessel injured on the American side, All the American ships sent small boats over to the Spanish gunboat. They found that the Jorge Juan's forecastle had lnjen entirely nipped away by the Topeka's four-inch shells and that her fore and miz/.enmnsts and flagstaff were carried oil". It is, thought the Spaniards scuttled her before abandoning the vessel. The harbor was found to be well mined, and two of the mines exploded. Nipe harbor is 20 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is surrounded bv mountains and i.s admirably adapted as a base for 11113-• campaign. The TopeUa sailed for Key West after the fight and on her way passed the monitors Terror and Puritan and gunboat Montgomery, heading for Xipe where they were to rendezvous. PEBIODS OF PAIN.

Secretary Aiger is deeply concerned over the welfare of the gallant troops under Gen. Shafter's command now encamped ou the outskirts of Santiago. The health reports show a surprisingly large number of eases of sickness, but army surgeons say that these figures are misleading in a certain sense, and that the situation may not be nearly BO bad as they would seem to indicate. The inference is that many of these cases in Geti. Shafter's camp are of a trivial nature, but go to swell its^rand t)tal of sick and wounded. Notwithstanding fchis mitigating fact. Secretary Alger is going to remove the soldiers at the vi:ry earliest opportunity to a more healthful clime.

When any of our townspeople display their ignorance as well as lack of pood taste by sending off to some distant part of the country for a job of printing, it doesn't make us sour on them, but it does make us smile a great big smile of sweet content to HOC them get a piece of work that could have been done better and cheaper in their own town. It reminds us of the Grand Rapids bride who thought that anything made in her own town wasn't good enough for her and so sent to New York for her housekeeping outfit. When the goods came, they bore the mark of Grand Rapids, the greatest furniture manufacturing town in the world. Then she was a sadder and wiser woman. And there are pendent. others.—Holly Inde- There Are Others. An exchange says: A prospective subscriber wants to know if we will take chickens on subscription.

A curious Illustration of the power of light when driven at a high velooity 1« mentioned as having taken plaot In the Royal arsenal at Woolwich, Eagiazul, lately. In the coarse of experiments on firing gas in mlnea, conducted by Capt. Cooper Key, R. A., under the homo office, a special gun is employed to do duty for a borehole with a charge of high explosive and pressed cylinders of gray dry clay, three Inches long and one and seven-eighth! inches in diameter, aro used to represent tamping. These shots are made to %ct In various mixtures of air, coal dust, gas, etc., and to stop the course of plug, etc.; eventually a cast-iron target plat*, one Inch thick, was placed twenty-.five feet in front, a't an angle of forty-five degrees, in ord«r to break up everything into duat and throw it up^ ward. After three or four shots with this arrangement, the clay plug, weighing seven and one-half ounces, perforated the one-inch iron plate, and the hole thus made hae steadily extended since.

Doubtless the velocity must be tremendous. It is pointed out that the velocity for the hard cylinder of this weight and size to cut through one inch of wrought iron at forty-fire degrees would be over 1,800 foot seconds. With cast iron and clay, and the three or four repeated blows, everything is so greatly altered that there is little more to be said than that the effect is remarkable and unexpected.—- London Engineer. Live Stock Breeding Pro&peots. There was never a more favorable time in Illinois than the present to engage in any or all the live stock Industries, if the farmer will do it in an intelligent and business-like way. We do not mean he -should rush Into the business inflated with the idea of making large sums of money, or stock iiis farm with horses, cattle, sheep and hogs of any kind and at any price, but should engage in it for a term of years, lay the foundation in the best blood to be obtained, arail himself of every up-to-date method of feeding and caring for Btock,and then gradually grow into it. LetTiim make the stock a market tor everything grown upon the farm; let him save the manure and increase the fertility of the soil; let him raise his own feeders of better breeding and quality; and by doing everything so far as possible within himself, cut off from all charges of middlemen aad expense of transportation; adopt the secure and conservative business of breeding and feeding stock, aud tfcue bring our state back to it* former standing as a atoctt growing stale. The advantages of Illinois have designated it aB tlie greatest stock growing state in the union. There is no reason wliy we should not become permanently noted for the number and quality of our herds of fine stock.^Our herds of the whole Spanish population i Pu r e b r e d cattle- horses, sheep and hogs will want to come over here after they learn what splendid treatment Uncle Sam is giving the Spanish prisoners of war.—Lansing Republican, should make Illinois the Mecca for the breeders of fine stock' from every state aiMl section in this broad land.—A.

It's only a man's heirs who are ever really Interested In his ailments. Dewey Is still keeping things In hand, especially Spaniards, at Manila. The opportunity of a lifetime seldom comes heralded by a bras3 band. Some artists know as little about work of art as they do about the art of work. Some men are born great and others roll up their trousers and wade right Into the midst of greatness. A man never realizes how meaajie l s until he is a candidate for some office or the defendant in a divorce suit. A tramp abroad in the morning for your health Is better than two at the back door looking for something to eat We don't know how Cervera feels on j|he subject, but we would rather be in pr lson rOh1r^Tte^= ^tater= thair f ree in Spain. During his short captain-generalcy of Cuba Weyler cleaned up $11,000,000,and still some reople say there is no money in the butcher business. Instead of desiring to lead a Spanish army across the United States, Gen. Weyler seems now to be getting ready to take a thorough course in a deaf and dumb institute. The man who boasts that he works with his head Instead of his hands is respectfully reminded that the woodpecker does the same thins and is the biggest kind of bore. A great deal of fuss is being made because Hamilton Pish, a rough rider killed in the first battle in Cuba, was a New York society man. Brave he was -without doubt, but his comrades who died with him were just as brave, though not in "society." "Ham" Fish will be remembered as a hero, but while we are about it, we Bhould not forget that "there aro others." Not since Edward the Black Prince served the defeated King John of France on bended knee at Poitiers, more than &00 years ago, has there been shown an instance of more chivalrous and courteous treatment of a defeated foe than was shown to Admiral Cervera and his officers on board Capt. Evans' battleship. After she has paid for the results of her folly and ignorance and the war is over Spain will have abundant material for revising her notions about the "Yankee pigs/' The civil war is said to have cost the country fully e'ght billion dollars.wh'lo it was in progress—adding to the d;recL outlay the value of property destroyed and the damage done by interference with Industry. And the end is not y^t, for though thirty-three years have passed, pension and interest payments still continue to increase the total. A part of the cost of that was put off on another generation, just as a part of our present outlay will be; but the people who danced paid the piper notwithstanding, in the form of "war taxes"—and we mut* do the same. T*ie men and women who cheerfully bear this Increased burden are not the lowest on our list of seventy million par triota. ™ ' • John Albion Andrew, the great war governor of Massachusetts, had th* good fortune to spend hia boyhood ou a farm in the state of Maine. His father and mother, though of genial humor, were rigid disciplinarians, «nd he Had occasion in after life to thank them for training him in orderly habits in small, every day matters. One of his sisters related not long before her death, which occurred in 1897, that Albion was summoned home from tchoo? one day by his mother, who merely pointed to the boy's cap, which he had carelessly left on the floor. The Wnt was enough. Without a word ."*« picked up the cap.hung it on the proper peg, and promptly went back to school. The father also strictly enforced the rule, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." A pitchfork-, in common use for foddering the cattle, was always to.be kept standing in a certain comer of the barn, where .se could lay his hand on it In the night, without a lantern. On one occasion, he felt tor it in vain, and called the boys to account. With a mixture of chagrin and amusement, they reported that "Father was nighty particular, tor that fork wasn't morc'n two tut of pit eel" ALL ABOUT SANTIAGO The Ancient Cuban Capitol That Has Been Surrendered to the Victorious Troops of the United States. The City of Santiago, surrendered to General William R. Shafter, Is the oldeat town In the western hemisphere with the exception of Daracoa, which is also in Cuba. Tho limits of Santiago inclose an area of two square miles. The city is about a wllo wide and two miles In length from the shore of the bay to the eastern limit. The town is situated at the eastern end of the graud bay of Santiago. By water Santiago is sovon miles from the coast, but owing to a peculiar curve In the outline cf the bay It is much nearer by the overland route. In 1838 the population of the city was estimated at 5D.0C0. Santiago is laid out from the Grand Cathedral, and that temple is the number center for the streets. In the vicinity of this building are all or nearly all the fashionable residences. The cathedral itself is by far the most superb and Imposing edifice In Cuba. Its beauty surpasses the finest o! the ecclesiastical structures in Havana itself. This building and the beautiful yacht ~anH==best ^4ftfo--nouiip -<m-4it3- bay fwinjL the two points in which Santiago rises above Havana. In all other respecta it is a secondary city. Havana is always classed as the first city of Cuba, and Santiago as the second. Directly before the cathedral ia one of the numerous small public parks which separate the great church from tne residence and offices of the civil governor of the province, of which the town is the capital. Havd by aro tho palace of the archbishop of the city, the post office, the telegraph office, tho residence and offices of the military governor, a branch of the Bank of Spain, the principal theaters, c jail and a large and well-f;ppolnted public marUet. Issuing from the city on the north arc four broad roads that lead to the villages and towns of Saa LUIB, Chisto, Santa Incs ana Cuabltas, and to the copper mines four leagues away to the northwest. One of these roads is famert for the ample provisions made along the way for the watering of cattle. This system is called "Abrevndero" and "Potrero Espanto Suenos." To the east of the city are the towns of Sevilla and Caney. Tho rop.d divides at Fuerte Canosa, or the "Fort of the Broad Road." Five highways is3ue from the southern part of the city and lead to Sardlnero, Justlci, Laguna. Ataranza, Cruces and one to the Morro at the entrance of the harsa roads was well slaughter houses and the now e«me- I handsome and Intriguing, &nd the" men guarded by a fort. The business portion cf the city is corfmed to the street* near the water front. Here also are the government and public docks and the terminus of the railroad which runa Into the Interior for a distance of 2S miles. On the north shoro of the bay are the tery. The cental portions of the towu are highly elevated, and .arc called "alta. N or high, while th4 reinahitfs* bf Vb* streets are denoted by the prefix "bnj*" meaning low. The blsh section is bounded by San Tomas and Hereflia atreeta. On the bay front is the alamedaor boulevard tastefully laid out by landscape gardeners aud fringed with noble trees. It is about a quarter of a mile long and makes a very pleasant promenade. * Santiago is by no means on unpleasant place for a garrlsou, despite sfiusatlonal stories of yellow fever. False impressions concerning the climate, etc., have been prevalent. Of course the weather is hot there in summer, but heat has ltd compensations, and with plenty of supplies there is no reason why American soldiers should not enjoy their stay in the town, no matter how protracted Uiat stay may be. Thero Is no disease in the-town for the rnan who takes ordinary care of himself in tlie mutter of diet and bathing. A hill that rises on an easy incline of 150 feet above tho bay furnishes a site for the city. Until about thirty years ago the streets were in poor condition, and the drainage was insufficient. Now the city is well pnved and well lighted, and combining into a most pleasing effecjt with these modern comforts is the ancient aspect of the houses and scenery. Santintjo has several Industries, the chief of which is copper. It llea in the center of the best copper district of Cuba, and until the revolution paralyzed nil Industry in the island it was the outlet for copper products of great Point=da SaL on the bay are located the great copper mines of Lomas de Cobre. The Cubans and the Spanish of Santiago have ever been an indolent people, whose sole desire is set on pleasure or gratification of some kind. The aenoras and senorltas are picturesque.

WAY HIS MOTHER COOKED. HUB Sever B.ild Anything About It Blnee Tliat VUlt liome. "J'y husband was forever telling; ma about 'the things ray mothey used lo make' during the first few n^onihs of our marriage," said a young Washington matron to a Washington Star reporter, "but he storped doing that after wo made a summer visit of a week at his mother's home out West about half a year after I became a 'Mr3.' It had up to that time been 'My mother used to make this and that so U would melt in your mouth,' and 'My moJi^r had a knack of cooking that utuff that would simply make a man glad he w^J born.' and all that sort of thing, un- .Ml I was almoct distracfeJ amT t s to believe that his mother, whom i had never seen, must be the greatest preparer of food that ever lived in this world. Then, as I gay, we went out to his mother's home to stay a week. His mother is an old-fashioned woman, who likes to do the cooking herself. The first hreakfast we ate was simply a marvel of awfulness. There waft fried round steak, tougher than leat)/ - er; 'potato biscuit' as heavy as lead, yallery coffee that tasted like dlahwa. ter, big hunks of fried potatoes, terribly greasy; thick slices of fried pork, all shriveled up; cornbread that was only half-cooked—oh, my, It was really frightful! My husband, I could plainly see, was crestfallen but he stuped himself, said everything was 'out of sight/ looked daggers at me when I said that the long Journey had taken my appetite, and announced after breakfast that he hadn't eaten a meal in a decade that he had enjeyod BO much. He didn't want to own up, you see. Well, every m«al was simply a repetition of this broakfast—'old-fashioned cooking, you know, that I'm sure ow our foreimh- My bus- I can't understand ers and fore mothers endured, band stuck it out for three days that he was enjoying his meals hugely, but 1 could see him becoming somewhat tireder-looking all the tim*, and, finally, after dinner on the third day, he came upstairs with me and eai-d, L fefi-r my mother is sort o' losing her prrtp in cooking.' By the time we left his mother's home he was the picture of a dyspeptic and it was fully two weeks after we arrived home in "Washington before he could as much aa think of eating a square meal. Cut after he recovered from the aitack of dyspepsia he certainly did enjoy our little meals, and he has never re-erred since to the 'things my mother used to make.' Men, you know, only remember how they used to enjoy their food at home when they were ravenously hungry boys, returning froa swimming or wal" uting expeditious, but nothing btft their return to their boyhood hd»e after an afcsaoce of many years, during which they have grown.to manhood, will ever convince them that the things they had to oat when they were young ones were uot the greatest ever served."*' A Wadding D.-t?

She was going away, that was a blessed consolation; going to a busy office, where she would have no time to wire chats. I could endure her for a few hours; and although I would have resented from any one the imputation that I was a liar, I assured her I would be delighted to have her come, &nd would endeavor to make her brief visit a pleasant one. When the freight from the south whistled that afternoon, I had nerved myself for a few hours of torture. The caboose stopped away down in the yard, and as I stood on the platform reflecting on what a martyr I was going to make of myself, I saw the conductor assist my visitor to the ground, and start with her along the side of the train towards the depot, A call from the Instrument drew me Inside, and when I came out again they were near the platform. I stood and stared In blank amazement. A neat, stylish little figure clad in grey, a Jaunty hat, from beneath which the prettiest imaginable brown curls fell in clustering beauty above the prettiest face I thought I had .everseen, laughing merrily at some remark from her escort, and the air seemed filled with rippling music. As be ascended the platform steps to wbore I stood transfixed and dumb with amazement, ihe gave me but one glance of her nerry blue eyes, and was about to pass on into the office when the conductor aaid* "A moment, Miss Rankin. Let me Introduce Mr. Saunders, the agent here. Fred, this is Miss Carrie Rankin, late of Edmond." She started ct me with a look of unutterable surprise, and had a mirror been thrust in front of me, I would no doubt have seen reflected an expression of equal amazement. For a moment she stood glancing first at myself and then at the conductor, and then a peal of merry laughter rang out from her pouting lips, ana extending her hand she said: "Oh, that monstrous fibber, Tom Armstrong! If I ever get within reach of him again I'll pull every hair out of his head! Why, he told me you were -an old man, Mr. Saundei'B, and—and— that you were humpbacked, and had lost one of your limbs in a railway accident some years ago. He pictured you such a fright that I hesitated long before deciding to come here. I was actually afraid of you!" "I'll kill htm»on sight!" I cried, retaining the pretty hand which rested in mine. "He led me to believe you an aged widow with two children, and a face that would set my teeth on edge when you should present it before me, and that you had a temper which a buzz saw could not scratch. However, in the glad awakening from that hideous dream I almost feel that I can forgive him, and as the frightful old widow no longer confronts me, permit n>e to bid you a hearty welcome to your old home. I trust you may en- Joy the few hours you are to remain here. You have the freedom of the office; and of the great city." "Thank you. It is very good of you, and since my humpbacked ogre has limped away on his one leg, I will enter his den with no fear. How drearily natural the old place looks" (taking off her hat and throwing it on the table). "How many lonely days and nights I spent here, fearing each rattle of the window by the wind might be a tramp or a prowling Indian, and every sound from the outside at night might come from the dreaded Dalton gang, lying In wait to rob a train. May I look in my old room?" "Certainly." "Same cheerless place. Yes, more cheerless, for really, Mr. Saunders, you do not keep It so neat as I did. When did you sweep it last?" She glanced into my face with an arch look and smilingly awaited my reply. "I th|nk It was one day last week, or. was it week before? It was the day the superintendent came over the road on a special. The sprucing up of depots by agents—male agents, that is— is always regulated by official visits, you know." We patted on into the freight-room, such only in name, for no goods save section me**- supplies had -ever been stored thereto. From the freight-room a ladder led up to the loft between the ceiling* of the office and sleeping room and the roof, and, pointing- up at the dust-covered rafters, wf fair visitor said: "I had a dreadful time up feere one day. The Insulated copper wires from the Instruments run up through the office celling, you know, and connect with the line out under the eaves of the depot. I fut out my instrument* for a heavy thunderstorm/and when I cut ft again after the storm had patted, I found the wire open on both sides of me. Fearing the trouble was in my office I began a close search for it, and, finding the wires below all right, I elhnbed up the ladder to the loft Up in that dark, black, dusty, sooty place I found both wires burned off by lightning ; and what a time I had repairing them! It was very hot and close up there, and I had left my handkerchief on the telegraph table, and frequently1 wiped my perspiring face with my Bmutty haads. When I climbed down again you should have seen me! I had that morning put on a white summer dress mamma had just sent down to me, and it was ruined, and my face was as black as any Topay you ever saw. What made it more horrible was that the passenger go-ing south whistled just as I descended from the loft, and not knowing my face was in such a horrid condition, I gathered up my train mail and went out on the platform, and such a guying as the train men gave me! There was a grinning face at every car window as the train pulled by. Oh, dear! what a fright I found myself when I looked in my mirror!" As we sat in the office daring the evening chatting she grew more and more vivacious and Jolly, and our merry laughter rang out in marked contrast to the usual stillness which prevailed about the dreary station. ,We went to supper at the section house, and on returning she went at once to the key and asked the dispatcher If the train then nearly dtfe was on time. "No. 4 delayed by wash-out below Guthrie," came the rejyly. "Can't say TFdwsc^fflilcTrwnriWirepWrW." "Oh. dear! My usual luck!" she said. "I seldom find a train on time when I want to go anywhere!" "Are you then so anxious to terminate what has been to me a most delightful visit?" I asked. "Ok, no. I assure you I have enjoyed it fully as much as yourself, but I fear I will become tiresome to you with my senseless chatter." I felt like assuring her that a lifetime spent in her society would not weary me. The time sped swiftly until the grey shades of evening began to gather, and I lighted the office lamp. No. 4 was reported safely over the track, and would reach Red Rock about 9 o'clock. Excusing herself a moment to go to the cooler in the freight-room for a drink of ice water, Miss Rankin passed from the room, and had scarcely disappeared ere I heard heavy footsteps on the plauorm, and a moment later the front door was thrown open and four masked men entered and covered me h murderous-looking revolvers. Git away from that table, young feller, an' don't you make a move fords that tellygraph till the train comes, or it'll find a piece 0' baggage 'yar it ain't looking fur. How soon is she due?" I am not naturally a coward, but this harsh transformation from a blissful dream of love to the very precincts of death unnerved me, and confess I was tnoroughly frightened. Then came the thought that Miss Rankin wQuld return in a moment, and what Indignities might not be offered her by these members of the notorious Dalton gang (for such I knew them to be); cruel, reckless men who had less regard for women than for dumb brutes which carried them to places of safety after their lawless raids. "The train is past due now, but has been delayed by a washout below Guthrie, and may not be here for several hours yet," I replied. "I'll ask about her." I made a move toward the telegraph table, hoping by a word to warn the dispatcher, but halted at the ominous clicking of a pistol. "No, you don't," the leader said. "If you want that pale hide o' your'n tattooed with cold lead, you jeet male another break like that! Yer lyin' about that train, an* we're agoin' to camp right 'yar with you till it comes, fur we have business with It. Sit down on that bench." I could but obey. The mental torture I endured was terrible, not only through fear of MIBS Rankln's return to the office, but through the knowledge that an attempt was to be made to rob the train, and the lives of good men might be sacrificed defending the property entrusted to their care. How could the robbers be frustrated? If I could but reach the key and flash the words. "Train robbers," and sign my office call, the dispatcher would hear and understand; for in those troublous days the keen-eared night guardians of the company's interests were ever on the alert for such Intelligence. For half an hour I weighed the matter of a desperate attempt In my mind. I had lost fear of my charm ing visitor's safety, feeling satisfied by her absence that she had heard the robbers and was concealed in the freight room, or had escaped by the back door and tone to the section house for aid. But what assistance could come from there? I knew there was not a firearm *i the section house, and the section men would seek safety fn fllgttt at the first intimation that I was la the hands of the Dal tons. ^ It at last jueterfcined to make one desptratt. attempt | ^ warn the train-ditpateher,- and thiW save tht train from robbery. I did not believe the villains would shoot, and felt that although they might use me roughly for my attempt, my duty to the company demanded that I should make it and meet the consequences. Waiting until I heard the dispatcher respond to a report of the belated train fro>\ Mulhall, but two stations below, and knowing that he was at his table, i rose and bounded toward my instrument. "Trai—" I got no further. There was a loud report, I f»lt a heavy blow accompanied by a stinging sensation on my right thigh, and sank to the floor. "You cussed fool, that's yer game, is it? Lucky fur you my gun went off afore I got it raised, or that shod'd a tuk you whar* lt'd a done more good!" They picked me up and threw me roughly on the bench, cursing me in a fearful manner for my attempt to thwart them in their plans. I knew I had been shot through the thigh, but from the absence of severe pain felt sure the bone had not been broken. The train must be nearing Wharton, the next station south, and after pass- Ing there no earthly power could prevent it from failing into the hands of the scowling villains who aat near me. The instrument had been quiet for a long time, and I laid trembling with anxiety expecting every moment to hear Wharton report the passing of No. 4. "Click! Click! B-r-r-r-r click!" What caused the instrument to act so queerly? Then, in clear clicking* I beard "the dispftEEefT calL Wnlrton was about to report the train—but, no I My own office signal was signed to the call. What did it mean? The dispatcher responded, and my heart gave a great throb of delight as I heard these words flashed over the wire: "This is Cr at Red Rock. Sd held by train robbers in office. I have wire tapped in loft. Stop No. 4, Wharton, quick!". "I heard that, will hold 4 here all right," Wharton broke in and said. An order was sent him to hold the train for further orders, and an explanatory message sent to the conductor. Thank God, the train was safe! I understood it all now. The brave little girl had heard the robbers when they entered,.had listened to our conversation, and recalling her former experience in the dirty loft, had climbed up there in the darkness, broken one of the wires and, striking the ends together, had been able to communicate jlspatcher T" th? WHAT'S IN A NAME? Mmmj Time* Notliii.g—Somtrtlmwi » Vaad of K.o u th tb of the night I knew she could hear every click of the instrument below, and work as effectively as if sitting at the telegraph table. "God bless you, little girl, you have done great work this night. Special train with sheriff's posse will leave in five minutes, and make run to Red Rock in forty-five minutes. Remain where you will be safe in case" of a fight with robbers." "Oh! I am so fearful Sd has been killed," I heard her say. "I heard them threaten to kill him and heard a shot, followed by a shuffling of feet." In a tone of voice so loud I knew she could hear it, I said: "Men, I have been shot in the thigh and am In pain. This bench is a hard bed for a wounded man. Won't you carry me in and lay me on my bed In the next room?" "Wat do we keer how you suffer after that bad break o' yours? Lay still, or you'll get more of It!" I heard the little heroine report the words to the dispatcher, and felt that my object had been accomplished and her anxiety relieved. In a moment came a message intended for my ears: "Brace up, Fred, for help is comin*. We've got the best of this game, but I am distressed at your condition, old fellow. Grrn and bear it I will be with you the minute the train gets here.—Cr." (To be continued.) It's a good old saying, and a true one too, "Know all men by their works." The public have been imposed upon so many times by unscrupulous claims made for selfish means of protit, they look for something more substantial; they ask for deeds. The little conqueror has earned the reputation made in Michigan and no imposter can steal it. From north to youth, lrom eai& to west, in every city, town and hamlet in the state, people &tand ready to testify to merit. Gratitude for comfort brought to thousands of homes brings emphatic rejoicings and words of praise the like of which has not been equalled in modern times. Is it a wonder the name DOAN is a familiar one in every household? Is it surprising the pubic appreciate Doan's Kidney Pills and will not be led astray by the ingenious efforts of would-be competitors? A Detroit citizen tells here why the name of Doan is dear to him: Mr. R. N. fclliott, of 143 High street. Detroit, says: My knowledge of Doan's Kidney Pills datea back to tive years apa I was th^n living in the town where Dr. Doan wns located. I was tortured with kidney troubles and inflammatory rheumatism. The doctor prescribed the pills for me which have sinoo become so ju>*tly famous. Their u»e quickly eliminated the uric ivcld from my wystcm and with ittt departure came the cure of the rheumatism and the end of the kidney troubles. It took but a few boxes to accomplish thin end and I feel that I owe Dr. Doan an everlasting debt of Kratitude for prescribing Kuch a valuable remedy. I Yave taken great pleasure in recommending this medicine to a number of my friend*. I luways keep a box of these pills on hand so that should I take a severe cold and feel that it, is seUlinK on my kidnevs a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills relieves* all apprehension. Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box. Mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. The mati says that it?s a poor villain who doesn't attempt to kiss the heroine when ne has a good opportunity. THE BEST DICTIONARY. What World's Bent Scholars Smy Atxmt the The Sunday School Times, Philadelphia, Pa., May 11, 1895: "Continual use of the first volume, since its issue, has shown the work to be a weighty, thorough, rich, accurate, authoritative, and convenient addition to lexicographical material. The collaborative method reaches high water mark, and produces bold, original, independent, and scholarly results." Notes and Queries, London, April 19, 1895: "So far as the English language is concerned, it may claim to be the most ambitious and comprehensive yet given in its Integrity to the world. The work is all that it pretends to be, a splendid bequest to the English-speaking races.—Thebook ia the moat valua- Ks tk« Early Moraine* In the early morning as soon as you awake to consciousness, remember that you are in the very presence chamber of God, who baa been watching beside you throngk the long, dark hours; look up Into His face aid thank Him.

The Scotsman, Edinburgh, April 1, 1895: "Different dictionaries suit different sorts of men and different sorts of libraries; but it is not rash to say that the man or library which owns the Standard need not have any other." William J. Milne, president of New York State Normal College, June 5, 1895: "It defines every word with such discrimination and thoroughness that the keenest scholars In philosophy, science, literature, art, will find In it the most lucid, accurate, and comprehensive definitions to be found anywhere." ,T. G. Fitch, LL.D., Department of Education. London, Eng., March 29, 1895: "The book bears throughout abundant evidence of care and thought and scholarship. I cannot doubt that it will be accepted as an authority of the highest rank in the department of j?liilology." The Engineer and Iron Trades Advertiser, Glasgow, April 4, 1895: "Taken altogether, the sum total is, the Standard Dictionary is without a peer. It is a distinct gain to literature, to science, and to education." See display advertisement of how to obtain the Standard Dictionary by making a small payment down, the remainder in installments. Around us the spiritual is everywhere trying to express itself through what we call the natural. If we knew how to look for it we should everywhere find the heavenly hidden in earthly things.

The Concho •ras crowded with sick soldiers, but was sadly deficient of physicians, nurses, medical supplies, suitable food -fmd fresh water. As a consequence the sufferings of the poor fellows were rery severe. Only two of those on t>oard were badly wounded, the others Buffering chiefly from malarial fever. Lengue of American UunU-lpnltttot. Many important conventions have been held in Detroit, but it is doubtful if there was ever one of greater import thun that which assembled under the title of the League of American Municipalities. The delegates were full of enthusiastic interest in anything brought forward for the betterment of life and government of cities. Mayor May bury gave these busy men a warm welcome to the City of the Straits and Gov. Pingree, who was strongly identified with the organization of the League, welcomed them in behalf of both city and state. At the sessions of the convention proper a large number of papers on municipal reforms of various kinds were read and discussed with much force. On the side there were entertainments of various kinds provided by the city authorities of Detroit and by business men. This included an exhibition by Detroit's splendid fire department aud fire boat; visits to the city's water works and lighting plants; a grand band concert on Belle Isle, the island being illuminated with many thousand lights; bout rides on the river, and trolley rides about the city. •900,000 Conflagration at One of the worst conflagrations ever known at Escanaba broke out in ratrick Foparty's hay barn, located in the center of the city. It soon spread to the store and residence and Mr. Foyarty barely, escaped with his life. The whole block, consisting of Western Express Co.'a otliee, Bert Ellsworth's drug store, I. Kratz's double clothing store, Melvin Young's tea store. Win. Eifler's cigar store and factory, Hainm's and D. A. Oliver's furniture storeroom bu+Mtng7==It then +etfcped aei*oss tlia street and completely ruined Mrs. L. D. McKenna's double store. Every glass in the Musouie block was broken with the intense heat; St. Joseph's Catholic church, worth S'>0.000, caught fire two or three times and it looked for a while as if the whole western part of the city would be ruined. The loss is estimated at about S','.* 0,000. Tried to Meal Other's Glory. ' Three young mea who represented themselves to be brave members of Uncle Sam's fighting force—Edward A.

A, 33d regiment, from fHint—took Detroit by storm, being at once surrounded by admiring crowds, to whom they told their experiences in Cuba. One had a scratch on his left eye whioh he said was made by a Spanish bullet. All wore the uniforms of U. 8. volunteers and had hardtack, brass medals and cigarette buttons all over their coats. They told about the fight at Agnadores, how bravely they had acquitted themselves; complained of the lack of surgeons and the poor medical facilities; cursed the Cubans 4or poor, thieving, know-nothings; but did not know who Gen. Duffield was, and were somewhat at a loss when Questioned closely as to the reasons for getting three months* furloughs at this &me. Investigation showed that their kuunes were not in the official roster of the 33d regiment.

CM SEE [JOJP W. French Minister Made Envoy of Spain to Make Peace. TERMS PROPOSED BY THE U.S. rorto Rico to be Ceded to the U. 8.—Cuba to be Free—Uncle Sam to Take Manila and Surrounding Territory — Future of I'bilJpplue* to be Settled Later. 1 The conferences of President McKmley and hU cabinet to pie^are a re* sponse to the Spanish overture for peace made through M. Canibon, the French ambassador, allowed considerable difference of opiuion as to the position the United States should take regarding the Philippine islands. On the other issues unanimity developed. There was to be independence demanded for Cuba; Porto llico was to be ceded to the United States; coaling stations were to be ucquircd at Guam, in the Ladrone islands, and one in the Caroline islands. As to the Philippines, the cabinet finally ngreed upon the following: That Manila bay, with the city and surroumliug territory, should be retuiued in the possession of the United States as un American port and coaling station, li Spain is to be allowed to retain the Philippines, which the United States hus not occupied, it must be under an agreement that neither the islands, as a whole, nor any part of them, shnll be ceded by Spain to any other power but the United States, except with the consent of this country. The trade of the Philippines must be freed from restrictions of the Spanish colonial system. The policy of "open door" must be established for American products. The port and coaling station which the United States tukes must bo protected from any trade restrietionn. It must continue to be, as it has been, the central port of this island system. Spain's colonial administration must be improved and the United States must be able to make its reform effective and permanent. No part of the* region which has risen against Spain on our approach and no man concerned in the rising shall suffer after the close of the war. The United States must bo left in a position to prevent the terrible cruelty which has ,lisgraced the Spanish administration in the pust. Once-established at Mnnila, the United Stat£» cannot permit unchecked atrocities of the past in the islands about. Incident to the cession of Porto Rico and the recognition of Cubun independence by Spain was the decision that every vestige of Spanish goveroment and authority an the Caribbean diaa waters must be removed, effecting a^ material ac of numerous islands over whieb the Spanish (lag flies, one of the most important of which is the Isle of Pines. Furthermore, this sweeping change of authority from Spain to the United States in our nearby waters is to be effective also as a c^oit claim of alt indebtedness assumed by the Spanish government and charged by her to those islands, so far as the United States is concerned and all commercial treaties now existing between the Spanish government and her possessions there and outside powers are extinguished. Mast Move Shatter'* Men Iforth at Once. Maj.-Gen. Shatter called a meeting of every commun<Iing and medical officer of his corps at Santiago to consider the recommendation oi the war department that tlie army be moved to the interior to a healthier location. Col. Roosevelt handed Gett. Shafter a letter in which he gave it as his opinion that if the army i& kept in Coba during the next two mooths one half of the soldiers will die, as an epidemic of genuine yellow fever is sure to break out which would ruin, from the standpoint of military efficiency, the flower of the American army. While the sick list exceeds 4.000 it affords but a faint index of the debilitation of our force*. Not 10 per cent are fit for active work. Every shifting of the camp doubles the sick rate and, besides, the coast is as healthy as the interior'at this period. For these reasons Col. Roosevelt urged the immediate transportation of the army north. Following this a paper was signed by every American general officer present, stating, "This army must be moved at once or perish. As the army can be safely moved now, the personB responsible for preventing such a move will be responsible for the unnecessary loss of thousands of lives." Gen. Shafter at once cabled this to Washington and a conference at the White House took action for the prompt transportation of the army from Cuba to the splendid - camp at Montauk Point, L. I. The first troops moved will be the five cavalry regiments, including the Rough Riders. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. That Npaln Had 4e«ept«4 Otar fvruit Frortod Immature* v Washington; Unofficially the President wus informed that the Spanish ministry had acceded to the .terms of the United Stato-i f r a cessation of*the war. While this govern meat has strong reasons for believing that its terras of peace have been agreed to by the Madrid government,'the President is taking nothing fpr ^granted. Arrangements for pressing the war to a Bucoessful conclusipu are going forward precisely as if no negotiations were in progress. In event of Spain's acceptance of the terms proposed by this country, the flr.st step will probably be toward an agreement to close active hostilities, pending the drafting of a treaty of peace ulong the lines ot the accepted terms. Later.—An appointment was made by M. Cambon, the French ambassador, acting for Spnin, for u conference with President Me Kin ley and Secretary of State Day to consider a communication from Madrid on the peace question. After a conference lasting just an hour Secretary Day emerged from the White House and announced that the conference was inconclusive; wherefore the parties to it had agreed to say nothing publicly as to what had occurred. From this it is gathered thirt the i xpected answer of the1! Spnnish government to the Presi'l n "s note upon being received had turned out to'be- either a counter proposition or a remiest for a fuller statement in detail upou some of the heads of the, President'!* note. Meantime in consonance with' the declared purpose of the President ait the beginning of the overture,' this conference is not operating to restrain' militarv optnratjons in any THE WAR SITUATION. The battleship Texas has arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard for repair of injuries received in the campaign off Santiago. Her fighting ability was not r& the leaftt impaired, however. The warship and her crew were given a wildly enthusiastic reception aa she tip New York ltarbor. The governuient is now waitings to hear again from Spain, and this time it is expected the answer will be flnuL Firmly, but courteously, the President has declined the earnest appeal of the French ambassador to modify the United States' d. m nds, excent in slight and comparatively unim ortant respects. One of these was that the commission to be appointed to settle the terms ot peace shall meet outside of the United States, and preferably in France. '1 h * President sees no material objection to granting this request, and it is said to be practically settled that the conferences will be held in Paris. The Madrid p"overnmei t through M. Cambon, propounded a uuinbcr of questions as to the i m when Spain would be expected to evacuate Cut a aid the territory to be ci d.;d the United Stat.-Sf and us to what provision would be made by the United States to protect the interests of Spanish subject in these sands, while the evacuation was in progress. There is one point, how-1 ever, which the Spanish authorities* o comprehend, and Secretary Diy made a special call upon the ambassador for the purpose principally of malting perfectly ciear this one point. The point was that the evacuation of Cuba. Porto Itieo and one of the Ladrone islands, to be selected by the United States, and their permanent session to this government, was made a question precedent to all peace negotiations, and not until these terras had been fully complied with, will this government consent to entertain any peace propositions whatever. Madrid; Consultations held between Premier Sagasta, the presidents of the chambers and other prominent persons, are of a national character, with a view of ascertaining the opinions of all parties. The cabinet will follow the advice of the party leaders and will; leave to the crown the liberty of chosing advisers. All the leaders consulted have observed the strictest reserve. with the exception of Senor Romero y Robledo, leader of the Weylerite party, who declares himself for continuing* the war. Owing, in a great measure, to the patriotic efforts of Gen. 4'cuavieja. a tacit truce .seems now established between all factors of internal disorder in Spain, until the peace treaty is signed. The feeling of all classes is that the humiliation resulting from this disastrous war fail* sot upon the Spanish naiion. but upon the dynasty and government. Th* moment peace is signed the government will be made a scapegoat, and th* people will then turn savagely-against the dynasty and make it answerable for the consequences. 15 Regiment* More for' Verv* Bteo. The war department 1MM ordered Maj.-Oen. Wade, who w** placed-in command at Camp Thomas after the departure of Gen. Brooke, to proceed to Porto Rico with 15 more regiments of volunteers, which are to form a provisional division, the regiments being selected from various, brigades. The following regiments bare been selected: First Rhode Island, First North Carolina, First New Uansphire. First New Jersey, Second Texas, First Maine, Fourth Missouri, First Alabama.

A Romance—By Hannah B. McKenzie. CHAPTER I, "Going out again, Magnus?" "I must, little one. You look quite disappointed, as if you had expected me to spend the rest of my life over a luncheon-table." "Now, you're laughing at me, Magnus, No; but I hope you are not goinj; far. You're not going to—to Crag Castle?" Daisy Halcrow uttered the last words hesitatingly, as if not quite sure o* •how they might be taken; but her brother answered readily enough, though a close observer might have noticed that his bronzed face took on a darker tint as he did so. "Yes, I am going, Day. You know I have to see Lady Westray." "Is she then so very ill, that you must go to see her every day?" asked Day quickly, Perhaps there was a faint shade of sarcasm in her question; but if tihere waa, Dr. Magnus took no more notice of it than he had of her former hesitation. •He had been standing by the mantlepiece, leaning his elbow upon it. Now he came to the window, in which Uis hla hand- Abbot's Head stood on an eminence overlooking the sea and Day could let her gaze travel over that great expanse of water which stretched away to unknown worlds. Today It was as calm as glass, but had a dark hue, such as often, presages a storm. The sky above was blue, but thickly veiled with grey, thundery clouds, edged with a tinge of copper. on her shoulders. "My d ar little Day, Lady Westray is just as ill as she imagines herself—in other words, she is a confirmed hypochondriac. But I must not forget that she Is one of the few among my patients who are likely to pay me for my gervjres." The girl caught his hand impul- Blvely. "That is not the spirit of my noble, Independent, great-hearted Sea-king, who does bis work for love of itself, and for love alone! Nor is it the spirit of our dear old daddy, Magnus, who gave of what he had freely, and was content eo long as he had wherewith to eat and drink and be clothed/' "Our father was only too generous, Day," said Magnus slovAy. "You know it is nei*r?«ary to have '* little worldly wisdom and forethought as long as you are in this wor]d. And I have an ambition, as you know, and fhat is to re- air and beautify this ruined home of the Falcrowa. But I must not waste time now. Give me a kiss, little one, and let me go." "Take care of yourself, and don't bo ~"oTefta];< n fry^ftF-Trtornrr^eirrr^saM the girl, She stood on tiptoe ami preyed her fresh young lips to her brother's bearded ones; then suddenly threw an arm around his neck, whispering, "Safe home, my Sea-king!" She stood by the window until she saw her brother emerge below, leading out his bicycle. The fortunes of the Halcrows were fallen indoed, and long since Magnus Halcrow had had to part with his fine chestnut, the leas aris- • toorattc and less expensive steed serving him equally as well. Day smiled and nodded and waved her handkerchief, as her brother took off his cap, smiTrn a so mounted his iron steril, and pbnoting down the road, soon vanished out of sight. A bicycle is not the best mount for showing off a man's stalwart or handsome figure; but Magnus Halcrow's prorortions were so magnificent that nothing could hide them. He was, as his sister had called him, a veritable Sea-king—a lineal descendant of those golden-haired, blue-eyed, brawny Northmen whose fame and exploits Saga and Scald have sung. Six feet in height, he was splendidly made, with square shoulders and unbent back. His limbs were sinewy and muscular; his face, burnt to a bronze hue, was the noble, open, generous one of an honorable, God-fearing, clean sou led young man. His blue eyes and abundant auburn hair made him like a sun-god. The Halcrawa were true Orcadians, and 'to them this "land of the midnight sun" waa of more importance than all the great world without. For thirty years Dr. Halcrow, t h e . elder, had lived at Abbot's Head, wearing out his life in the hard work of a country doctor, at1 his father had done before him. Then he had died, and his son Magnus had taken his place, ministering to the rough flsherfolk ami farmers within twenty miles. And Day lived with him—Day, whom her mother, who had died shortly after •the was bora, had named Daisy; but •who, to her father and brother, was always Day—Day, the soft-eyed aud dark-haired, amaJl and slim of stature, whom everybody loved; Day, the eltrhteen-year-old, to whom all life as yet was fair and sweet, because she bad koown nose but those who loved to* and whom she trusted. Wfcen Dr. Magnus was out of sight Day still stood by the window, looklag out half aseeatly on the coene before her. CHAPTER II. It was a day of excessive heat. No bird chirped, no leaf stirred. All nature seemed exhausted, or preparing for some terrific outburst. "The atorm is coming; I can see it," Day said to herself. "I hope he will reach Crag Castle before it bursts. Why does he go so often? Is it to see Lady Westray, as he says, or to gee Lilith Stuart?" Some disagreeable thought awept across the untroubled calm of Day's brow, like the dark clouds on the Summer sky without. She pressed her hand over it, as if to clear away some unpleasant thought, and murmured: Am I anjust, I wonder? Unjust, and J^cjharita_bie_? Dear daddy ivjed_tp say it was the way of youth to judge hastily and uncharitably; yet I can't help it —I can't, I can't! I don't trust her. and can't compel myself to like her. Sometimes I feel as If—as if she were wicked—really wicked, like those women one reads about—wily Vivien, the "lovely, baleful star," or Cleopatra, •?bo won men's soul8 and then ruined (them. "How unRiGd, how bitter I am!" sha cried, beating her little hands together the next moment. "I must do as dear daddy used to say we ought to do when the devil enters into us—drive him out by doing something for God or for our neighbors. I'll go and see poor old Low. I promised to bring him a little treat of my own baking." For Day H ;)crow was her brother's right hand In everything, and there was no poor or aged or dying person among his patients whom she did not visit and bring comfort to, either physical or mental. She ran lightly downstairs, packoJ her little treat—a small cake and one or two other dainties—in a basket, and, putting on a sailor hat in the hall, prepare4- togo-out. BelL-tie. old servant^ who had been with her mother, heard her, however, and ran to the door. "Ye'll not be going out just now, Mi?s Day? The storm is coming up fast." "I don't think it will overtake me. I'm only going as far as old Low's; so don't you bo anxious, you foolish Bell," said the girl. "Where's Oh! Ola! Ola! are you coming, old boy?" A groat tawny co!)ie os large «s a St. Bernard cam<* lumbering into the hall flora the kitchen regions at lfer call, nwd thrust his coid nose into her hand. "Come on, then, old boy. and take good care of your missis," rried Dx' gaily. "Gond-byo, Bell. I'll be back in h.ilf an hour." A long straight road led down from Abbot'n Head to the small hnralet of Finstray, whore Day's pensioner lived. The village was- by the sea, most of the houses b^ing built in a holJon- )»•>- 1/ween the road and the shore. The road ran on past the lone'y lakes of Harris and Stennis, and the standing stonos to the important little town of Kirkwall. The air was still as death and as hot as an oven. The silence and oppression were appalling, and even Day, WHO was a brave little soul if there ever was one, felt awtd by it. "Magni'j must be near Crag Castle now, so fc ' is all right," she thought. Her anxieties were always for her beloved brother, not for herself. Old Ix)W was both lame and deaf, and a conversation with him was trying. He sat outside his door on a bench, smoking A pipe, his only solace; but he smiled, laid it down, and put a trembling old hand to his hat as Iuy approached. Day presented her little gifts and sat rhatting with the old mac for a little. Suddenly she was startled by a vivid flash of lightning, and the next instant a loud roar of thunder burst overhead. "It be a* goln* to storm, miss, and D<\*nietake," said the old man. "Yu'd bv%r come indoor* till it be paat." "No; I. think 1 shall run home before it comes on very badly," said Day. "Good-bye, Mr. Low. I shall come again in a day or two." "Good-bye, miss, and God bless yu for the comfortable, words ye've a* spoken to. me this an' many times," said the old man. holding her own little roseleaf of a hand in his own workroughened, aged one. "The Lord be with yu for a sweet young lady." Day picked up her basket, hurried up to the main road, and was soon walking swiftly homewards. But swiftly as she weut, the storm moved more quickly still. Flash succeeded flash with startling rapidity; the whole artillery of heaven seemed rumbling across the skies. The sea was no longer calm, but moved and 8welled as if in some strange convulsion; and every moment the sky grew blacker. A dreadful oppression filled the air, which was almost suffocatingly hot. As Day hurried on, half running, she felt her throat dry and parched, and the perspiration stood In beads on i^er face. No human creature had passed her; there were no houses between Flnstray and Abbot's Head. But suddenly, as Day ran on, she heard the sound of a bell ringing behind her, and, turning, she saw a cyclist come flying along the road at terrific speed. For a moment her heart bounded, for she thought it was Magnus. Bicycles were not so common in that far Orcadian land, next jnoment she knew it was im- We^Magnua had gone in the other direction. The cyclist was on her in a few seconds. He slowed up as he approached, and, touching his cap, asked: "Can you tell me if I am right for Stromncss?" "Straight on," Day replied. He touched his cap again and fiew on. Day looked after him, and his figure was lit up by a brilliant flash of lightning as she looked. He was a gentlemau, she could tell at once—slight in figure, dark in complexion, handsome and almost patrican in features. X>\ that Day took in in that bright flash; thnn he was beyond her sight, hid by a tura In the rond. She hurried on. tt flash ef forke (1 11 g b t-n \ s ^ burst out, quivered for a moment ov.3 • the landscape, lighting It up with a blue and purple glare, then went out Almost at the same moment a terrific | clash of thunder shook the whole sky: i the rattling and pealing above w*us i like the day of doom. Day was couri ageous, but that awful p^al made her j start nervously and fly onwards. She was close to the narrow road w.Mch turned up to the Head when some object lying on the ground just at th<? cross-roads drew her attention. Her heart leaped to her mouth. Could it be the cyclist, struck by that fearful bolt? She ran up to tt, hardly touching the ground in her haste. In a few seconds she saw that she had been right in her conjecture. The bicycle lay on the side of the road, with twisted handle-bars; and a few paces from it. in a strange, huddled-up position, motionless, lay the unfortunate rider! TAK4N43 AIL BEFORE THEM. Gen. HUM' Force* Meet Ufctle Baalstance —News From Porto Rioo* Following the landing of the first American troops at Ouanica and the surrender of the port of Ponoe t o the auxiliary cruiser Dixie, Gen. Henry's division of the forces under Gen. Miles moved from Guanica to Ponoe, taking en route the cities of Yauco, Tallaboa, Sabana Grande and Penuclaa. Attempt* by the Spaniards to blow up bridges and otherwise destroy the railroad between Yauco and Ponce failed, only a few flat cars being burned. Our troops fired up the locomotives and are now operating- the road from end to end, carrying men, supplies and messages. At Yauco the Americans were received by the alcade who issued a proclamation welcoming them and dated it "Yauco, Porto Rico, United States of Araeriea." Maj. Webb Haves, Sixth Ohio, son of former President Haves, hauled up the flag on the palace amid cheers from the populace. The people seemed almost overjoyed that the Americans had arrived, but feared an uprising of natives in the interior, who would murder and pillage in revenue for the many years of Spanish misrule. To prevent this a guard will be left to protect the capUired cities. Gen. Miles reports from Ponce: \*Volunteers are surrendering themselves with arms and ammunition. Fourfifths of tHe people are overjoyed at the arrival of the army. Two thousand from one place nave volunteered to serve with us. They are bringing in transportation, beef cattle and other needed supplies. The custom house lias already yielded $14,000.

Ghastly pale, with closed eyes an*? mouth, and vrlth apparently no breath coming from between the tlgrhtiy-set lips, it seemed to Day like the tase of a d«atr-ra*R. In its white, awful pal'or she saw it more distinctly now than she had before. The features were fine and delicately cut, and the whole face refined; only the mcuth, in its closeset seemed to give indication of a stern nature—too stern for so young a face. "Oh. merciful Father, grant that he may not die!" Day prayed again, hardly knowing what she said, for, in her deepesf heart she believed he was rea'- ly d>>ad. "What am I to do?"

The following was clipped from the July-August numbe r of the* Churc h News: We do not see how anyon e can. deny tha t the Tith e is th e Lords. I t seems to us tha t one is shut up to saying "if you do not believe it, you and th e Lord for it. H e says it is his". But th e objectio n is raised tha t thi s was simply a Jewish exnction , and not in force under th e New Testimen t dispensa - tion . Thi s is certainl y a misapprehension . If we may judge from various expressions, #oo d and devout men set apar t th e tith e of thei r increas e for th e Lord' s service long before th e Jewish natio n was in existence . Abraham paid tithe s as if it was a well establishedusage . vows th e tith e as thoug h it was a gb^ and -pkysieaily^=t o days in a week, and even familiar practic e with God-fearin g people . The Levitical expression in referenc e to th e Lord' s proprietorshi p in everything, and his rightful claim to the tent h as an expression of loyalty to him, is not made as thoug h it were a new enactment , but th e simple statemen t of a well-understoo d obligation . It costs a good deal to pay th e tith e to the Lord . But it costs a good deal more not to pay it. Th e Jews found it so. On accoun t of avarice and ingratitud e and irreligioti and unbelief, the y frequent - ly withhel d it, and ' the y always received the penalty . They could not spiritualiz e away this exact and literal obligation . They were called robber s of God . We ought to leaiu tha t it is a pocr exegesifi, stitution , no t abrogated , passes over int o th e New, and tha t the Sabbat h thu s does? And shall we not reason thu s in regard to the tithe ? I t did not originat e in Jewish law, even as th e Sabbat h did not . But like th e Sabbat h it passes throug h successive dispensations, never abrogate d in any. The tith e has the Savior's approval. "This ought ye to have done. " I t was all right. So lie approve s th e Sabbath . It would seem a jstrange thin g tha t th e Churc h should be starte d withou t some arrangemen t for meetiu g its expenses definitel y and promptly . The objectio n tha t we canno t afford to pay one-tent h of our income , year by year, goes too far. God asks one-sevent h of our time . It may be said thi s is too muc h to ask of a poor man , who need s to work every minut e of his tim e in order to make a living.

About 99 per cent of people's conversation is of no earthly use. Professional Jealousy plays havoc with many professed friendships. It'B far easier to purchase old Jokes In the comic paper than it is to sell them. When a man is swamped in speculation a tot of wreckage comes to the surface.

It Is rumored that Spain will Issue a new map of her possessions after the war—that is, if she has any possessions left Perhaps some people do not know that the sphinx got its reputation for being very wise by keeping its mouth shut for 3.000 years. The kaiser proclaims himself not only the head of the army but the head of the theatre. Will it be long before he becomes the head of the church?

The aptness of a quotation from the Bible—Isaiah 3:12—was never shown more forcib'y than i.i a speech recently delivered in the Spanish Carles by a Carlist deputy. Af;er eloquently arraigning the government for their incapacity, he closed with th°se worrts frotn Ipa!ah "As for my p<ople, children axe their oppressors, and women rule over them. 0, my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." The Cortes was instantly in an uproar, and the deputy, having refused to recall lius words, was expelled for the remainder of the session. The late President Cleveland,-with some otliere, warns us act to get intoxicated wiC tht v'lory of war and of the acquirement ol new territory. It appears, however, that we have got pretty deep into tbls war and it really wouldn't be wise :o pull out of it until we L&jre whipped the enemy.

Solomon's templn had stood there, but Nebuchadneuar had thundered it down. Zerubbabel'a temple had stood there, but that had been prostrated. Now we take our placeB in a temple that Herod built, because he jvas fond of great architecture, and he wanted the preceding temples to seem insignificant. Put eight or ten modern cathedrals together, and they would not equal that structure. It covered nineteen acres. There were marble pillars supporting roofs of cedar, and silver tables, on which stood golden cups, and there were carvings exquisite, and inscriptions resplendent, glittering balustrades and ornamented gateways. The building of this temple kept 10,000 workmen busy for forty-six years. In that supendous pile of pomp and magnificence sat Christ, and a listening throng stood about Him when a wild disturbance took place. A group of men are pulling and puBhing along a woman who had committed a crime against society. When they have brought her in front of Christ, they ask that^Hesen te nee herteHteath-by- Btoning. They are a critical, merciless, disingenuous crowd. They want to get Christ into controversy and public reprehension. If He say "Let her die," they will charge Him with cruelty. If He let her go, they will charge Him with being in complicity with wickedness. Whichever way He does, they would howl at Him. Then occurs a scene which has not been sufficiently regarded. He leaves the lounge or bench on which He was sitting, and goes down on one knee, or both knees, and with the forefinger of His right hand He begins to write in the dust of the floor, word aft«*r word. But they were not to be diverted or hindered. They kept on demanding that He settle this case of transgression, until He looked up and told them they might themselves begin the woman's assassination, if the complainant who had never done anything wrong himself would open the fire. "Go ahead, but be sure that the man who flings the first missile is immaculate." Then He resumed writing with Hfa finger in the dust of the floor, word aiier word. Instead of looking over Hislshoulder to see what He had written, the scoundrels skulked away. Finally, the whole place is clear of pursuers, antagonists and plaintiffs, and when Christ has finished this strand chJrography in the dust He looks up and finds the woman all alone. The prisoner is the only one of the courtroom left, the judges, the police, the prosecuung attorney having cleared out. Christ is victor, and He says to the woman: "Where are the prosecutors i - this case? Are th<jy all ro~°n Ihen I discharge you; go and sin no more." I have wondered what Christ wrote on the ground. For do you realize that is the only time that He ever wrote at all? I know that Eusebius says that Cnrist once wrote a letter to Abgarus, the king of Edessi, but there is no good evidence of s-uch a correspondence. The wisest bein? the world ever saw, and the one who had more to say than any one who ever lived, never writing a book or a chapter or a paragraph or a word on parchment! Nothing but the literature of the dust, and one sweep of a brush or one breath of a wind obliterated it forever. Among all the rolls of the volumes of the first library founded at Thebes there was not one scroll of Christ. Among the 700,000 books of the Alexandrian library, which, by the infamous decree of Caliph Omar, were used as fuel to heat the 4,000 baths of the city, not one sentence had Christ penned. Among all the infinitude of volumes now standing in the libraries of Edinburgh, the British Museum, or Berlin, or Vienna, or the learned :epoeitorles of all nations, not one word written directly by the finger of Christ. All that He ever wrote He wrote in dust, uncertain, shifting dust. My text says He stooped down an'! wrote on the ground. Standing stgratght up a man might write on thelgrourtl with a staff, but if with his fingers he would write in the dust ae must bend dear over. Aye, he must get at least on one knee, or he cannot write on the ground. Be not surprised that He stooped down, His whole life was a stooping dow*. Stooping down' from castle to barn. Stooping down from celestial homage, to monocratic jeer. •pram residence tibovt the stars to whe^e a star had to fall to designate His'andlng-place. Prom heaven's front 6oi*r co the world's back gate. Fr*>m writing in round and silvered letters tf ooatellatlon and galaxy on tfc* blue scroll of heaven to writing ou the ground in the dust which the feet of the crowd had left in Herod's temple. If, in January, you have ever stepped out of a prince's conservatory that had Mexican cactus and magnolias in full bloom into the outside air, ten degrees below xero, you may get some idea o( Christ's change of atmosphere from celestial to terrestrial. How maay heavenB there are I know not, but there are at least three, for Paul was "caught up into the third heaven." Christ came down from the highest heaven to me second heaven, and down from second heaven to first heaven, down swifter than meteors ever fell, down amidst stellar splendors that Himself eclipsed, down through appalling space, down to where there was no lower depth. From being "waited on at the banquet of the skies, to the broiling of fish for Hia own breakfast, on the banks of t h ^ lake. From emblazoned chariots it eternity to the saddle of a mule's back. From the homage of cherubic, serapnic, archangelic, to the paying of sixty-two and a half cents of tax to Ceasar. From the deathless country to a tomb built to hide human d ssolution. The uplifted wave of Galilee was hi?h, but He had to come down before, with His feet, He could touch it, and the whirlwind that arose above the billow was higher yet, but He had to come down before with His lip He could ki6s it into quiet. Eethlehem a stooping down. Nazareth a stooping down. Death between two burglars a stooping down. Yes, it was in consonance with humiliations that went before and selfabnegations that came after, when on that memorable day in Herod's temple He stooped down and wrote on the ground. " WlietWer thlf words Tfe~WRi writing were iu Greek or Latin or Hebrew, 1 cannot say, for He knew all thoso languages. But He is still stooping down, and with His finger writing on the ground; in the winters in letters of crystals, In the spring in letters of flowers, in summer in golden letters of harvest, In autumn In letters ot fire on fallen leaves. How it would sweeten up and enrich and emblazen this world could we Eeel Christ's caligraphy all over it! This world was not Hung out into space thousands of years ago, and then left to look out for itself. It is still under the divine care. Christ never for a half second takes His hand off cf it, or it would soon be a shipwrecked world, a defunct world, an obsolete world, an abandoned world, a dead world. "Let there lie light," was said at the beginning. And Christ stands under the wintry skies and says, let there be snowflakes to eunch the earth; and under the clouds of spring and says, come ye blossoms and make redolent the orchards, and in September, dips th»; branches in the vat of beautiful col- -&£»,—»R4 swings them—hrto—the hazy air. No whim of mine is this. "Without Him was not anything made that was made." Christ writing on th< ground. * * * 1 must not forget to say that a= Christ, stooping down, with his n'ngei wrote on the ground, it is evident thai his sympathies are with this peuiten. woman, and tnat he has no sympathy vviih her hypocritical pursuers. Jusi opposite to that U the world's habit Why didn't these unclean Pharisee; bring one of their own number to Christ for excoriation and capita punishment? No, no. They overloo* Jiat in a man which they darnua.te ii, a woman. And so the world has had for oil:-udi'jtf woman scourgea aud Ob jurgation, and for just one offense shi becomes an outcast, while for men whose lives have been sodomic for i.vventy years the world swings opei its doors of brilliant wekonie; ano they may sit in high places. Unlike the Christ of ray text, the world writes: a man's misdemeanor in dust, bu; chisels a woman's offense with grea. capitals upon ineffaceable marble. For foreign lords and princes, whose names cannot even be mentioned in respectable circles abroad because they are walking lazarettos of abomination, »oine of our American princesses of fortune wait, and at the first beck sail out with them into the blackness of darkness forever. And in what art called higher circles of society there It now not only the imitation of foreign dress and foreign manners, but an iruitation of foreign dissoluteness. I liiir a foreigner and I like an America but the sickest creature ou earth is an American playing the foreigner. So cioty needs to be reconstructed on this subject. 1 rea.t them alike, wasculin crime and feminine crime. If you cut :he one in granite, cut them both in £ranite. K you write the one tn dust w• ite the other in dust. "No. n o " saya the world; "let woman go down ;:na let man go up." What is that i bear plashing into t^e Hudson or Po- Lornac at midnight? And then there is a fttrgle as of strangulation, and all is still. Never mind. It is only a woman too discouraged to live. Le; the mills of the cruel world grind right on. But while I apeak of Christ of the text, hi* uteoptng (town writing in the dust, -do not think I underrate the literature of the dust. It Is the moat tremendous of all literature, it is the greatest of all libraries. When Leyard exhumed Nineveh he was only the door of its mighty dust. The excavations of Pompeii have only been the unclasping of the lids of a volume of a nation's dust.

Gladiators were captives, slave? criminals, or even free citizens. They were trained with great care, an< were, as a rule, tall, well built me? in the very prime of life. The emner or, after seating himself in the plac always reserved for him in the Col' seum, gave the signal for the spor to begin. Sometimes it was a combi' between ferocious beasts; in that cas' the CKvea was thrown open at th' empcror'3 signal, and the beasts wer turned into the arena, where the} "fought to a finish." When it was a gladiatorial oombat the gladiators marched In, made their obeisance to the empercr, and in chorus said- "Hail, mighty one; those about to die saluts thee!" When a gladiator wounded his adversary he shouted to the spectators: "He has it!" and looked up to know whether he should kill or spare. If the people held up their thumbs, it was the signal to spare the conquered one; if they turned their thumbs down, he must die. Thus the life of a vanquished gladiator was often taken just to make a Roman hoMday. Finally Christianity prevailed and such cruel sport became abhorrent. D. V.

It adds to the appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The ca«es are rare when the falling out of the hair mav not be stopped, and a n*w and healthy growth of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp lilte a plant in the •oil. If a plant flourishes, it must have constant attention; it must be watered regularly aud find its food in the soil where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the he'.pnning; of baldness. Dandruff U allowed to tlucl&eu on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its viU'ity. The hair, insuf- 6ciently nourished, begins to fade and to fall. The Instant need in such a case ia some practical preparation which, supplying the needed nourishment to the sculp, will feed the hair, give it strength, •nd so produce a strong and healthy growth, All this is done by Dr. Ayer'a Hatr Vigor, the most practical and valuable preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones i>p the scalp, uoes away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the rriirinal color to gray or faded hair, and rives an abundant and fftattv growth. Those who are threatened w«h approaching baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made by Alderman S. J. Green,of Spencer, Iowa.

In the day bf France'H last national humiliation, when her armies were scattered and her capital at the mercy of the Germans, yet one more terror was added. When the German army entered Paria Ui the spring of 1871. a saysterloua body, calling itself the "Central Committee," begaa extensive organisation, and under pretext of securing them from the Germans, got possession of a large number of cannon and miti ailleuaes. These they placed in positions chosen by therasel res, and notably at Montroartre, where a formidable array of guns were directed towards Paris. Simultaneously, restlessness and insubordination broke out among the national guard, a force appertaining strictly to Municipal Paris, and not under orders of the Central Government. An attempt was made by Generals Vinoy and Le Comte to seize the guns at Montmartre, but the greater i part of th* soldiers mutinied, and made common cause with the "Committee," and the national guard, a j large part of which openly joined with I the Bed Republicans. Troop* Harrying From Santiago. Ma j.-Gen. Shatter began to move his troops to the transports as soon as he received orders to send them a to more healthy camp at Montauk Point, Long Island. There were six ^transports at Santiago at the time and they were ordered to discharge their cargoes and to get ready without loss of time. Gen. Shaftcr's orders for the movement of his command provides the following program: The embarkation of the Third and Sixth regular cavalry, then the First regular cavalry and First volunteer cavalry (Rough Riders).

BECAUSE THE HOUSEWIFE DIDN'T USE APOLI This plan of government wa3 to be enforced on Paris, willing or not. A peaceful demonstration of unarmed citizens which met to protest was fired upon by the national guard, and fled, leaving thirty dea-d and wounded. Barricades were thrown up in the streets and the reign of terror and civil war begaiv In ten days alone, 160,000 persons left the city. A great sortie of the Communal party was broken up j and driven back by the army of Ver- [ sallies. The Germans gave permission for the organization of 150,000 French soldiers (many returned prisoners) to begin the second siege of Paris—a siege of Paris by Frenchmen. Point after point in the outer defenses was taken, and the Communists saw themselves defeated. Whereupon they took to wanton murder and arson. Public buildings were set on fire and petroleum was pumped on the fires. People were shot in batches— often tortured by hopes of rescue first. Priests were dragged forth and shot as they stood, and in particnlar the venerable archbishop of Paris, was KDUCATIONAL. rr Remember the name when you buy p been confined, as a hostage, and murdered. The incoming troops on their part spared no Communards, and gav? no quarter, in many places equaling the atrocities of the revolutionists themselves. Cuba to the United States. Fear of Negro domination has led to his complete change of mind on the subject, and, it is said, the large majority of the white officers in the Cuban army are in favor of annexation. President Me Kinley has decided to recommend to congress that both Acting1 Rear Admiral Sampson and. Commodore Sehley be promoted to the rank of rear admiral, Sampson ranking just above Schley. Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, is to be advanced six numbers in the captain's grade, and Lieutenant- Commander Wainwright will go up eight numbers. Other promotions will be made throughout the fleet. Reports have been received that Gen. Luque, commanding the Spanish garrison at Holguin, province of Santiago de Cuba, has surrendered to Gen. Garcia. At the time of the surrender of S-intiago Gen. Luque had 10,000 men in his command, but hundreds deserted to the Cubans, and.seeing starvation and ruin before him,. Gen. Luque surrendered. The town of Gibara has also been taken by Garcia, who is taking care of 1.000 sick and wounded Spanish left there.

Baltimore <& Oh\o Railroad have turned tlieir attention to the improvement of the grades on the third division, from Cumberland to Grafton, or rather that portion which lies between Altamont, the top of the seventeen-milo grade, and Terra Alta. where the Cranberry grade begins to descend. The line passes through Deer Park and Oakland an(S crosses what is known as the "Glides" of the Allegheny Mountains. The grades are short and choppy, some of them being 80 to 85 feet to the mile. One of the first pieces of. work to be done is now in progress at No. 58 Cut, where the grade is being reduced from SI feet to 42V= feet per mile, with equations for curvature. It is expected that "the cutting down of this grade will enable the iweivers to increase tho train load from 1,000 ton3 to 1.300 tons on .ist-boumi trains. One mile of tho ronrlway will be lowered and it is p::pccted that tbe work will be complcud by the middle of October. ANTON SEIDL'S SUCCESSOR. Emil Paur, the successor of Antor. Seidl as conductor of the New Yoi'. Philharmonic society, is not only an able musician but a very popular muu. Paur came to this country in 1893 from Germany to be the leader of the Boston Symphony orchestra. At that time Herr Paur had all the appearance of a continental artist. His hair was flowing, his beard untrimmed, his clothes were neglige and he was most unconventional in manner. Now he is trim and ultra-fashionaV»e, His career leader in Germany was noteworthy. He conducted opera and concert at Berlin, Koenigsbi>.'g, Leipsig, Mannheim, and Cassel. lime. Paur the new leader's wife, was Marie Burger, who, as a pianist, won considerable fame in Germany. She has had masters such as Lehert, Rubinstein, Bruckner, Leschetslcy and Essipofl. She practices enthusiastically. The Paur home is disdered voluntarily to Admiral Dewey at Manila. Lieut. Peral, the efficer, reported that he had come out of the Pam pan eras river, having1 been beset on all sides by rebels, who had cut off all l'ood supplies, ami Spanish at Pampanrri\ s were starvinsr. The Leyte had on iiourd a load of sick and wounded, fticludiner m»ny womun. Admiral Dewey held tlieni as prisoners of war until Manila's fate is decided. A considerable sum of money was found on board and Admiral Dewey ordered the officers and crew of the Leyte paid in full out of it. Gen. M"'l',is lias* cabled that he has all the 1 iv><sp.-, needed for the conquest TQ MBS. PJNKHAM From Mrs. Walter B. Budd, of Pa*» ohoffue, New York.

Franchises have been asked for through several townships in Oakland Co. by the Flint and Lansing Electric Road Co. The plan as outlined by one of the company's officers is to ruu, a line from Flint to Lansing Mid then east to Farmington to connect with the Detroit line now being built.—Enterprise. The Business Men's Convention to be held in Detroit on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of August 1898, is under the auspices of 12 of the leading Commercial organizations of Detroit, including the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Manufacturer's Club and the Merchants and Manufacturer's ExijEangeT" ffT A Broken Chain. Among the devices for raising money, the Chain letter is one of the most deceptive. The average person does not stop to consider the enormous sum involved in ft geometrical progression and gives the small sum demanded with no thought other than he is helping a good cause. Recently a lady of no commercial rating, conceived the suheun1 of buyiug ice for our sick and wounded soldiers, raising the necessary funds by this moans: She wrote four letters numbering each 1, requesting that each recipient should send her ten cents and write four copies of the original letter numbering each 2, and so on until the number 50 shall be reached when the recipients should simply send the dime and the chain would be completed. The letter to which my attention has been called is Tiumbered 23, hence the logical assumption is that all the No. 22's have been paid. The annexed computation shows how much must have been the merchants and business men of Michigan an opportunity and an incentive to visit the State's metropolis in one great gathering, here to enjoy two or three days of pleasures in the most beautiful city in the country. Those of our visitors who wish to inspect the factories and salesrooms and meet the dealeis in those lines of trade in which they nre particularly interested, will have RU opportunity to do so, while those who prefer to give the entire time to recreation and enjoyment will find the hours well filled. An organization consisting the! leading wheelmen from every part' of the state has been perfected, whose object is to construct a bicycle path from the south Michi-! gan. line to_ilifi_ .slraits_of Mecki-i liac. The path as now proposed; will run through Hillsdale. Lans-1 ing, St. John, Ithica, Mt. Pleasant, thence in a north-westernly direction to Grand Traverse Bay, and follow the shore of the lake to a terminus, thereby striking the famous summer rpsorts of northern Michigan and giving wheelmen an elegant route for summer outings, etc. The method oi raising money for the carrying on of the work will be done as follows: First, the secretary will issue three circular letters to cycling friands, requesting them to send him ten cents together with the names and addresses of three of their friends who would be likely to be interested. When he receives the answers from these three friends, that will conclude Series No. 1; then circulars marked Series No. 2 will be mailed to the nine persons recommended in the first series, with the same request as the first circulars, aud so on through the chain until twelve series shall have been issued. If the chain has not been broken, *l,G77,721.60 will have been secured for the project. of 22 series is $2,345,624,805,922. If there were 500,1)00 soldiers in the army, this sum would be sufficient to give them each a present of $4,091,249 and leave foj the collector $305,922. Is it not time to break the chain? A.

Th«M la Alao » Conutaat Supply of Lake Superior 1B th« largest body of ftaah water l^tho werM, n y a the San Praaciaoo Call. It li v i l i r of wonderful purity, which It holds, too; and •ome time, and in the not *try distant future, elthsr, the peopte vno live in the large olttat to the weit and south will eoaae to tkla lake to gst the water f«r tlMi* hoofes. It wOl not be so re- Marliabla an engineering foat to pipe the wm£*r af this lak«, pure and spark- Uof and fraah, from Its cold depths to ttaoe citlas, waich are M V ttruggling with the qnestiom of tfiair water aupplf aad meeting ail sorts of difficulties in their efforts to get Vater fit to drink. At the very moat the temperature varies through the winter and Bummer not more than six degrees. Winter ana summer this great lake never changes to any appreciable extent, so that if you dip your finger tips in the blue surface on a day In July, or if you test U some day In early winter, when you hare been-out on some belated, icemalied flshlog smack, or when you have gone out to watefo the fishermen spearing their supplies through the thick ice In mid-J^ttiuary, you wHl find but a trifling difference in the temperature. Away down at the bottom, too, there is but little variation in the temperature, for it steads' at nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom, and varies from 40 to 46 degrees winter and summer at the surface. The other lakes, though cold, are not In this respect like Superior. The whole bottom of the lake is believed to be a strong rock basin, though it would agein that jhMJtmust be great springs at the bottom to help keep up the enormous volume of.water. From the north there is a large amount of water pouring into the lake year in and year out, the swift-rushimg, narrowbanked NIpigon and other streams furnishing no small part of the supply. These streams in a large measure make up for the loss on the surface. One of the old lake captains, a bronzed kindly faced man, who bad been for thirty-five years on the lakes aad had fac«d death many a time in the frightful storms which sometimes rweep across these beautiful bodies of water, taM> me, as we were passing along near the north ooaat of Superior, with tha headlands and inlets and gloety green bluffs of that most picturesque sh*M In M l view, that the theory that the take is skrwty going down in size wae true. He maintained that he could tall from certain landmarks along the shores, with which he is as familial' as he would be with the streets of his old Scottish birthplace, that the lake was slowly—very slowly—but swely receding. However, it will be some centuries yet before there will be any appreciable lessening of the great lakes, J. H. Davidson of Wfe* has introduced a bill to tbe house of rspreseatative* providing that 9«re, wholesome theese shall hereafter constitute a portion of the ration sf our soldiers. 8uoa a measurs Is timely and important, for sheess is <tnm of the cheapest foods available to man. It is condensed, has no waste, requires no preparation for consumption and is peculiarly suited for nourishing soldfert In their fatiguing labors in a tropical climate. Brery person interested in dairying should work for th« wider distribution and more general use of lairy products. Every former who reads this article Is urged to write at once to his member of congress in both houses urging their immediate support of the Davidson bill. If our dairymen will do their duty congress will no doubt enact the Davidson bill into a law within the next two weeks, In time to render our soldiers now in the field a genuine service. Butter makers as well as cheese manufacturers are interested in the measure, for every pound of milk turned Into cheese leaves the market in that much better shape for butter, and aside from personal interests we are all desirous of seeing dairy products more largely consumed because of their wholesomeness, palatability and the low cost for nutriment furnished. Congress is now debating the question of adjournment, and unless there is quick action by our people the measure may fall this session, ! Will not every dairyman make this a personal matter and write at least a postal card to his representative and lenaterTTirlllf t l i r tllyTu^p^rTTne Davidson bill? "In union there la strength." Let us see how quickly the Davidson bill will become a law! W. A. Henry, Dean of Wisconsin Agricultural College. The Other Waj Around* The loyalty of the Scottish Highlander to his kilt Is a picturesque thing. H« will never admit that it makes h l n cold; and Highlanders who were suffering from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substitute the kilt for it, in order to get warm—though this would be much like removing one's coat and waistcoat and rolling up one's shirtsleeves for the same purpose. It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier in full Highlander uniform shivering in a cold wind, asked him: "Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?" "Na, na. mon," the soldier answered, indignantly, "but I'm nigh kilt with thf> cauld.<t" Bnckleu'n Arnica Salve.

After Savvinjc a B»br« Li** He Modestly Tuk«t to tbe Wood*. Train No. 20 on the Indianapolis and Vincennes, in charge of Conductor P. W. Russe of Indlanapolki, was tearing along toward Indianapolis yesterday evening fifty miles an hour. The train waa loaded with passengers and was behind time. Bast of Edwardsport Engineman Doreey saw on the track far ahead a dog that was jumping about and acting In a peculiar manner. The dog's actions looked suspicious and, as a measure of caution, Dorsey shut off the steam, so as to have his train under control. When the train reached a nearer point the dog stood and barked at it, and then, with a yelp, started for the woods. Then it was that Dorsey saw that th«re was something red between therallt, and he threw on the emergency brakes and opened the sand box. The train came to a standstill within ten feet of a pretty, flaxen-haired baby in a red frock. The child was about 2 years old and had been playing with the dog. The train crew ran forward and Baggageman Franklin picked up the child, which laughed and crowed and patted his face in glee. ' About one thousand, eight hundred yards distant was a farmhouse, and toward it Franklin started with the baby, to meet a man running toward him like an insane person. It was the child's father, who had missed the baby just as the train stopped and supposed that the little one had been killed. How it got so far away from home and into such a dangerous place no on* could understand. Tbe passengers were .considerably joltad by the sudden stopping of tbe train. but ko one waa hurt, and when they learned the cause of It they clustered about Engineer Domey and congratulated bin OD ais caution. and Frankfort—Thursday, Aug. 25, the Ann Arbor Railroad will sell tickets to the above resorts, limited for return to Saturday, Sept. 3, at a low rate of $5 for the round trip.

TAKING FORT SAN JUAN Description of the Battle That Preceded the Surrender of Santiago de Cuba—The Spaniards Fought Like Demons. Th e governo r of Havan a recentl y expressed th e hop e tha t th e heavenl y vault would sink and bury th e Unite d State s In an abyss; but we still have bop e tha t it won't occur . • We recall nothin g of th e histor y of Gen .

Th e mugwum p Idea in politic s is to win victorie s an d han d th e flags a n l honor s back to th e enemy . Ther e is a mugwum p idea in war to th e same effect; but we guess that , havin g con - quere d th e Philippine s an d th e desiivd Cuba n territory , th e Unite d State s will hold on to the m lon g enoug h to see what the y are mad e of. Anyhow, strang e as it may seem, tha t Is a part nf thp piirpnHfl r>f this blood-shedding.

"Thank the Lord, my dearie, ye're back In safety! I was half demented (n tb/s w ul storm, thinking ycu might tbe killed," said the good woman, drawing Day in by the hand. "Yesi,p$\}" sajd Day, W voice brokeu.and parting, "There's some oae down there who, I am afraid, has been killed By it." And, as briefly as possible, she told what bad occurred. "Now, Bell, what I wish you to do is to run and get Jamie, and come down with me to the road. J think you and Jamie can? manage to carry him up between you." Bell was 'considered one of the strongest women within the island. "Then Jamie must go to Crag Castle for the doctor as fast as ever he can." Bell did not oppose her young mistress, though it was with a considerable amount of fear that she ventured forth. Jamie, the farm lad, was still worse, hanging back in evident terror, and starting nervously at every flash. But both were, awed to a solemn silence when they looked upon the white and apparently dead face turned upward to Htorrny sky^and every-few illuminated by the awful glare of the lightning. "He's a deid man," said Jamie presently, in a low, awe-stricken voice. "There's no use carrying him up to the house, missis; it's wasted labor." "No, no! do as I tell you," said the girl, with an imperiousness she could use at times. "There may still be life in him—we do not know—and God may spare it. Carry him into the house, and then run down to Mr. Banks, Jamie, and ask him to let you saddle his horse and ride to Crag Castle as fast as ever you can for the doctor." Her orders were obeyed. In less than ten minutes the unconscious man was lying on the couch in the sittingroom, and. Jamie was hurrying to Farmer Bank's, sorely against his will, though the storm was already fr tfinning to abate. Meanwhile Bell, who had not been In a doctor's household for twenty years for nothing, tried, with such simple remedies as she could think of, to ness. But all her efforts were of no avail—the deathly pallor, the fixed rigidity of; that strong face still remained unbroken. "I fear—I fear," said Bell, standing up and shaking her head at last, "there's not much hope here, Miss Day. Ay, it's a sad thing, such a noble-looking young fellow as he is, and a gentleman, as any one may see. Well, I've done all I can, so you'd better come away, dearie, and leave him till the doctor comes," "I shall stay here with him, Bell. You can go and see about your work," said the girl quietly. "He might come out of it, you know; and it would bo terrible if there was no one beside him when he recovered consciousness." "Just as you please, Miss Day," said the faithful Bell. But she shook her head as she went out of the room, muttering: "Ah, the poor hairn! she has not seen death as often as I have." Day sat perfectly still in her chair a little distance away from the couch, with her eyes fixed on the face lying on the cushion. Something in It fascinated and almost mesmerized her. She could not withdraw her eyes. So young a face it was, so handsome, so refined! And only half an 'hour ago the owner had been full of youthful strength and energy, and had perhaps been thinking, as he sped along that long country road, of many a plan and scheme for his future life. And now he lay there, cold and still, and they said he was dead. Oh, it could not be! it could not! A low cry burst almost involuntarily from Day's lips, and, rising from her seat, she went to the couch, falling on her knees beside it, and'covering her face with her hands. ' "God have mercy!" she prayed, speaking aloud in her" passionate earnestness. Her head sank lower, and for a long time she remained kneeling thus, feeling the warm tears run defcrto her cheeks and drop on the cushion on which the unconscious man's head rested—the tears of pity for the unknown and lonely stranger, whose friends could not weep for him because they did not know what had befallen him. Suddenly Day fancied she felt a motion beside her, as if the man had sighed or drawn a long breath. With o. nervous start she lool^d £p quickly. ' The eyes in the midst of that death- • ?f pal* face—Jt was no less pale than man__tn fonsrlouw- | acated in MlsrSfifart's dainty boudoir, before—were wide open, and staring ai her with strange fixity. For a moment a vague, powerless, superstitious fear rushed over Day's soul, seeming to clutch her heart in an icy grasp, The face waa still so like that of a dead man, and the eyes seemed to have no sight in them. Then she summoned her brave, womanly spirit to her aid, and, putting out her hand, gently placed it on hia. "Don't speak," she said, very softly. And Day Halcrow's voice was one of the sweetest In the world when modulated by pity and sympathy. "You had a nasty fall from your bicycle, you know; but I hope you will soon be all right. My brother, who is a doctor, will soon be home, and I am sure he will be able to cure you." Those dark, brooding eyes still gazed at her, never once removing their glance from her faee. The gaze frightened Day, but she made another brave effort. "You are among friends here, you know; so you don't need to be anxious or disturbed about anything. We shall take care of you until you are quito better." stranger=»rt last, speaking in a deep, toneless voice. He hesitated for a long time, then at last added: "And God bless you for— for what you have done. You have been kind. I cannot thank you now—the words will not come; but, if God spares me, presently." Then he lapsed into silence again; and, as his eyes closed, Day stole softly from the room to summon Bell. Meantime Magnus Halcrow was at Crag Castle. The Westrays of Crag Castle had been lords of the soil for generations past, and were also proprietors <>f many broad acres on the Scottish mainland; but now a time had come when the heritage of many brave and daring men had fallen into the hands of a girl, and Lilith Stuart queened il at Crag Castle. It was the Dowager Lady Wastray— a distant relative of Miss Stuart's, who also acted as her chaperon—whom Dr. Magnus Halcrow had eome to visit professionally; but his patient was not yet able to see him, and he was now drinking a cup of afternoon tea, poured out by her own slim, white hands. "It is BO oppressively hot that I feel as if even tea drinking were an effort," she said, smiling—and Lilith Stuart's smile was a wonderful one—as she handed him his cup. What was the secret of Lilith Stuart's strange power over him? None could say—or, rather, every one assigned it to a different cause. Her female acquaintances denied that Lilith was beautiful—and certainly her features were not perfect; yet there was a strange, subtle fascination, far greater than that of beauty, in the half-closed, slumbrous, blue-back eyes, usually so modestly veiled by their long dark lashes, but sometimes flashing a look of bewildering, maddening brightness upon those who had been patiently waiting for it; in the droop of the soft, red mouth, whose whole expression was so oddly changed when she smiled; above all, in the smile itself. The face was fair and somewhat pale; the hair of a ruddy, auburn hue. There were those who called Lilith Stuart a modern Cleopatra, and those who gave her even more unpleasant names; but as those were mostly discarded lovers, their opinions were not to be trusted. And Magnus Halcrow, that great, noble, simple-minded son of the Vikings of old, had also fallen a prey to Lilith's strange fascination. He himself knew it, and chafed at the knowledge; for he was proud and independent, and could never stoop to sue for that which was ,«o far above him. "I think a thunderstorm is not far off, and I am glad; it will clear the air," he said, in answer to Lilith's remarks. "O, I hope not! I hate thunderstorms; I am so afraid!" cried Lilith. Even as she spoke there was a vivid flash, and in a few moments the storm broke in all its fury. CHAPTER IV. Lilith's face turned pale, and her lips quivered as if in abject terror. Pear is not an ennobling expression on the human countenance; and it was so altogether foreign to Magnus Halcrow's nature that for a moment he experienced a sensation not' altogether flattering as he saw it depicted in Lilith's. As flash succeeded flash she caught nis arm nervous];' and chins: to it. Magnus was sitting close to the window. She drew h :v, j'.a*. "Oh, i<c i3 awful! Do come bacK rrom the window; I am so frightened—so horrlb'v frightened! What if it were to striKe us? How awful to die so suddenly!" "There Is no danger, Miss Stuart," said Magnus soothingly. He yielded to her pressure on his arm, and allowed himself to be drawn from the window towards the couch on which Lilith had been sitting. Lilith still clung to his arm. "Oh, I know you are good and brave, and you think me a coward! Well, I dare say I am—weak and cowardly and womanish. I wish I were brave. I wish you could teach me to be brave, as you are!" There was a momentary lull in the storm, and Lilith's words, spoken In that low, subtle-sweet voice of hers, were distinctly audible to Magnus. His pulse thrilled, his heart throbbed. Lilith's face was close to his shoulder— so close that, by putting out his hand, he could have drawn her within hia arm; he could almost feel her breath upon his cheek. It was a temptation. Lilith strangely appealed to the sensuous part in Magnus' nature—for every human being has a twofold nature, one part spiritual, the other sensuous and material; but whether Magnus would have yielded to it or not was never known, for at that moment the door opened gently and another girl came In. Magnus rose to his feet, a slight flush on his face. It was Impossible to say whether the new-comer noticed it or not. She extended her hand calmly. "Lady Westray is able to see you now, Dr. Halcrow," she said. Magnus knew Elspeth Troll well. They had played together as children, and Elspeth was not far from his own age, which was twenty-six. She had cirtid=of~ tfre^Manse Tit Finstray in those days. Now both parents were dead, and for five years Elspeth had been part companion, part secretary to Lady Westray. Now that Lady Westray was no longer lady of the manor, but that lady's chaperon— for the widow of the late Sir James had been left poor—Elspeth occupied a somewhat anomalous position. Sh* was a tall, slender girl, with a grave, thoughtful face, whose only beauty lay In the eyes—dark brown, soft and earnest. They looked at Magnus often with an expression whose meaning he could not fathom, but which made him vaguely uneasy. He rose to follow her from the room. As he did so there was a startling glare of light, and overhead a rattling peal, which seemed to shake the whole house. Lilith uttered a cry and clung to Magnus. "Oh, don't go! don't leave me alone! Lady Westray can wait; there is no hurry!" "Lady Westray is nervous about the •thunder-storm, Miss Stuau," said EIspeth, in her quiet tones, which might have almost seemed emotionless if it were not for a certain flash in her brown eyes, which Magnus caught as she raised them for one moment, and then let them fall again. "That is why she wishes to see Dr. Halcrow at once." "But you are keeping her company!" Lilith cried. Then she raised her imploring eyes to Magnus' face. What man could resist that look? "Miss Troll will stay with you, Miss Stuart. There is nothing to be afraM of," said Magnus, gently loosening her hold. "You know my first duty is to my patient." "Duty? Ah, what an unpleasant word that Is!" said Lilith. "But I have no right to detain you; only you will come back before you leave the castle?" "I shall come back!" Magnus replied gravely. Then he left the room. But he had barely escaped from Lady Westray, who was a nervous, selfish hypochondriac, for whom no one had any affection save Elspeth Troll, when the messenger arrived from Abbot's Head, covered with perspiration and pale with fright. Magnus was met on his way to Lilith's sitting-room by a footman with the message. "It's a matter of life and death, sir, the young man bade me tell you," said the pompous functionary. "Tell him to return to Abbot's hw-.d at once, and I shall overtake him," said Dr. Magnus. He snatched a moment to say farewell to Lilith, who was still sitting in a corner of her room hiding her eyes from every flash of lightning; while Elspeth Troll bent aw dark eyes over a heavy seam. Elspeth, as Magnus knew well, never Idle, but employed all the time she could spare from Lady Westray in working for the poor. "Going? Ah. It is unkind—it Is positively cruel of your* said LJtttfc -when Magnus announced his intention. "And in such a storm! Must I exercise my woman's right, and forbid it?" "You will not, Miss Stuart, I t*m sure/' said Magnus, holding her hand fast and feeling his palse thrill, you know duty calls me away." (To be Continued.} He: "I beg your pardon, but wereal we once engaged to be married?** She: "It's quite likely. 1 thought just now when I saw you that your face looked familiar!"—Unsere Gesellschaft BEAUTIFUL HOMES.

Near the little town of Woods Corners, about six miles from Ionia, resides R. L. Pierson. Mr. Pierson, a farmer by occupation, and like all hard working tillers of the soil he has found the burdens the back must bear no light load to carry. Few people who never lived on the farm appreciate what it means to follow the plow from sunrise to suDset, but if the public in general don't know how hard such work is, the kidneys do. Long hours of work of any kind means long hours for the kidneys, and they can't stand it without rebelling. When the farmer comes home tired out at night, if he only re* alized that the tired feelings mostly always came from tired kidneys, and that the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would right the wrong brought on by over-work, life would be easier for him. Read what Mr. Pierson says about his experience: I noticed when I stooped, lifted or changed my position suddenly, early in the fall of 1897, that I was always rewarded with sharp paiaa across the small of my back, and In the morn- IDS I was so lame and sore that I could scarcely get out of bed. The too frequent action of tha kidney secretions, especially annoying at night, plainly indicated that my kidneys were the cause of the trouble. I had often heard Doan's Kidney Pilts spoken about by my neighbors, and as it was the first time I required such a preparation. I procured a tJox. I notioed their beneficial effects in a day or two and I continued the treatment until my backache was cured and the other weakness was thoroughly relieved. 1 make no mistake when I say that Doan's Kidnev Pills cure backache und kidney complaint.
