Ruaia keep the peace in Kurope,
And Europe calls her barbarous.
If Spain thinks that "Martinez Cam
pos is the greatest living soldier," she
ought not to lose a minute, but guesa
again.
If Spain sella Cuba, the purchaser
should Insist on a warranty deed. A
mere quit-elaiin title will not be worth
the notary fee.
"A St. Louis man," says an exchange,
"was present at the marriage of his
divorced wife, and gave the bride
away." The mean thing! What did he
say?
Our coast cities are not defended by
great fortresses, but the nation who
sends a shell whistling luio one of
them will pay a billion or two for the
whiste.
Those Kansas girls, calling them
selves "The Sparrows," who are goin
to speculate in Cripple Creek mines,
will find that oue of the most prevalent
birds of Colorado Is the tierce and un
appeasable sparrowhawk.
A St Faul jury has filed the market
price of kisses at $1.75 each, whereas
In Massachusetts, it is understood, kiss
es are going begging at a premium for
purchasers. Is the interstate commerce
law operating to offset the law of sup
ply and demand?
According to recent statistics, 549,042
of the farms of the country are occu
pied by negroes, and 120,738 are ow ned
by such occupants. The negro race
has not made much progress In com
mercial or manufacturing vocations,
but this showing is certainly creditable,
and that Is probably the line In which It
Is most likely to succeed.
There has been a good deal of Im
provement In live stock breeding the
past few years, and vast Improvement
in feeding of meat animals, but the
good work needs to be puslu-d further.
No man is apt to do good work unless
he takes a pride in It and puts enthusi
asm Into it. Most of the raisers and
feeders ought to (eel ashamed instead
of proud of the live stock now mar
keted. The attempt of Spain to borrow more
money for the Cuban war Is not likely
to succeed, even If the Spanish Cabi
net is rash enough to make it. The
condition of the treasury of Spain is so
scandalously bad that no account of
receipts and expenditures has been
published since 1870, but even In time
of peace the annual deficit runs from
60,000,000 to over 100.000,000 pesetas,
while the kingdom has a total debt of
nearly six billion pesetas. A country
thus circumstanced is not a favorite
with the money-lenders.
The ability of a farmer who planted
seed and then left It to take care of
Itself would be questioned. Just so
with advertising. This is the seed the
merchant plants, and, if not rightly
taken care of, a fruitful harvest ought
not to be expected. To get good re
sults from advertising you must help
It along. This is the grease put on the
squeaky wheels of your wagon to help
It up the hill. Simply oiling the wheels
though, will not start it going, nor keep
It running. It requires pushing, and
then the grease will make it move, and
lively, too, If the requisite amount of
push be there. It will have to be a
case of pushing and pulling if you want
to get the wagon to the top of the hill.
It Is said that Alfred Austin, the new
poet laureate, finds waiting for him a
small accumulation of salary and sack,
which has been accruing since the
death of Lord Tennyson. The same
thing has happened before, when Dav
enant died in 1608, and two years
elapsed before Dryden received the po
sition. Of course, It is not a great mat
ter, for the salary per annum Is only
$360, or about a dollar a day, but one
can realize that Dryden, as compared
with Davenant, need have bad no re
luctance In accepting the arrears. But
think of the assurance of Alfred Acs
tin accepting the arrears consequent
upon the death of the great Alfred,
Lord Tennyson! As to that, think of
paying Mr. Alfred Austin a dollar a
day for stuff that is not worth a dollar
a year!
Those patriots who consider them
aelTea Injured because the Campania
did not run aground alongside tbe St.
Paul can ascribe It all to the lack of
fair play so characteristic of the Brit
ish. It would have been an act of chiv
alry worthy of a high-spirited nation,
and peculiarly well fitted to smooth tbe
asperities now prevailing, if tbe Cunard
captain, when he discovered tbe plight
of tbe 8t Paul, bad gallantly beached
bis own ship, and said to Capt Jami
son: "I will never take an unfair ad
vantage of yoo by going into port while
you are In this predicament" Instead
of this he went Into tbe harbor as soon
as the fog lifted and sailed up to his
own dock in the most unfeeling man
ner. Re never even said good-by. Tbe
effect of this on all Jingoes who visit
Long Branch Is Mid to be harrowing.
They can consols themselves, however,
with the reflection that several British
sals have gone sshara there la times
Indeed, tho remains of on of

tbe haunts of the Dacolt bandits are

There is no further dread of danger
from famines or pestilences. Encour
aging advance has been made In pub
lic works, railways, telegraphs, post
offices, etc. Imports rose 15 jter cent
and exports 40 per cent during the
year. The British now have IInjO
square miles of forest area, yielding
a gross revenue of 5.50ti.oi0 rupees.
Both tin and gold mining have been
pushed forward, and the former last
year yielded 1UH.700 rupees. Under
British administration, it Is said, there
Is absolute order and good government,
and the traders carry on business with
as much security as if they were In En
gland. There Is very little doubt that Russia
has made some kind of a bargain with
the sultan, w hereby the latter becomes
a vassal of the czar. If this proves to
be the fact, it indicates that British di
plomacy has again been defeated by
the KUiwrior ability of Russia in that di
rection. Yet the result is what should
have occurred many years ago. Rus
sia is fairly entitled to an outlet Imo
tue Mediterranean. While Grat Brit
ain holds the Straits of Gibraltar and
the Suez Canal, Russian vessels lu the
Mediterranean cannot do any damage
to British Interests In the East, least
of all can they attack the British Isles.
England should months ago have In
terfered to protect the Armenian Chris
tians whom the Turks have leen mur
dering. An English newspaper pro
poses that the United States shall in
terfere for the protection of Turkey
against Russian rule. That we would
not do any way. It is none of our bus
iness how Turkey Is governed. All the
excuse we could have for lnterfertag
would be to protect American citizens.
As to whether England or Russdi shall
dominate in Turkey Is no concern of
ours. Russia has always been our
friend, and It would not !e grateful in
us to go out of our way to prevent Rus
sia from acquiring territory to which
It seems to have a natural right when
Turkey ceases to be an independent na
tion. That day Is apparently not long
to wait for.
The commendation of a majority of
the London newspapers even the
abuse of the Loudon Times was not
required to make the reiwirt of the New
York Yacht Club's board acceptable to
yachtsmen and sporting men generally
on both sides of the Atlantic. So far as
the public Is concerned It made up Its
mind long ago as to Dunraven's
charges, as well as to the character of
the noble earL The people have only
one word for the bogus yachtsman who,
having been fairly beaten at his own
game, spread broadcast libelous
charges and Insinuations against the
victors without having a solitary fact
or circumstance upon which to base
them. It would be as much as to. say
that the English are a race of chimney
sweeps to believe that they will not
accept the verdict as final. As for Dun
raven, he has made a spectacle of him
self that will live in siwrting history.
The patience of the yacht club under
his accusations, while It excited con
siderable Indignation In the United
States, was worth bearing for the sake
of the Impressive rebuke finally admin
istered to the noble "weleher." It is
likely to result In great benefit to In
ternational sport, for It has cleared the
air. But English yachtsmen should be
given to understand that in future
racing arrangements Dunraven must
not enter the reckoning. We have had
enough of this coarse-grained calumni
ator. And if English yachtsmen hare
not had enough of liirn the spirit of
sportsmanship In England has fallen
far from old-time standards.
Major Andre's Will.
A curiosity hunter has been looking
for Interesting wills in the surrogate's
office In New York city. The most fa
mous will Is that of John Andre, the
British spy, who was hanged by Gen
eral Washington's orders In 1780. It
was made in June, 1777, when Andre
was a captain In the Twentieth in
fantry. He bequeathed 50 to his
mother and each of his uncles, who
were made executors. Seven hundred
pounds were given to each of his broth
ers and sisters, on condition that each
contribute 10 a year to the support
of bis mother. Tbe first right of In
spection of his papers was given to his
friend, Peter Bolesler of the Eleventh
dragoons. The will wag admitted to
probate soon after Andre's death. An
other notable historical document re
corded In tbe record room of the sur
rogate's office Is the will of Alexander
Hamilton, made on July 9, 1804, two
days before bis fatal duel with Aaron
Burr,
Cranberries.
Cranberries should never be too ripe,
or when cooked tbey will be dark and
dull In color and lacking In flavor.
While some prefer these refreshing ber
ries cooked In their skins, the most
elegant way is to put them through a
colander, the skins being thus removed.
The fruit should then be turned Into a
bowl, which will give a pretty molded
form when tbe jelly has congealed.
When cold, this jelly mold should be
turned with the ronnded bottom up
ward opoa a gilfo or In a ruby colored
glass dish. Forail state occasions
cranberries sheafd be served In this
way. The rich clear red of the fruit is
most beantJfnl In a rich red glass dish;
and although such dishes are less fav
ored than formerly, nothing Is prettier
for fruit molds and Jollies of the same
hue. Artistic and harmonious effects
are more charming than those achieved
by frigid following of the latest fashion
or fancy- Womutklnd.

Boston, March 18. It took Cbasv
pion George Dixon but seven rounds
to get the decision over Jerry Mar
sh-ill at musie hall last night. Marshall
d'd not meet tbe expectations of the
2J0 spectators present, but there wss
some excuse for him, at he had to take
off considerable weight yesterday and
weighed in at 126 pounds, or four pounds
overweight. Diion was, however, one
and one-half pounds overweight, too,
s ) no forfeit u required.
After the first round it was evident
that Marshall was outclassed by Dixon,
who aho wed throughout the bout that
he far from being a back number.
Dixon forced the fighting fiom the
start and Marshall narrowly escaped
being put out in the first, the gong
alone saving him.
fn the middle of the second round bis
lej. became crauij i, and despite tbe
ru bing they received from his second,
they continued to grow worse and Mar
shall ordered his seconds lo throw up
the sponge on going to his corner at the
end of the seventh round.
Dixon was seconded by Tom O'Rourke
and 8am Ashe, Marshall's seconds were
Pa sy Kerrigan, Billy Hennessy and
Jack Edwards. At the call of time
Dixon feinted a few seconds, then
rushed in with the left on Marshall's
wind and got away without a return.
Then he came with another left and the
right on the jaw followed rapidly, with
both hands on the face. Dixon landed
rapidly and finally Marshall countered
o i the rit and the two clinched. When
they broke away Dixon landed a stag
gerer on Marshall's jaw and then kept
up his blows with the rapidity of a
windmill.

Havana, March 15, via Tampa, Fla.,
March 17. The present strength of the
insurgent army is close to 43,000. Cu
bans themselves estimate the number of
men in the field as high as sixty thou
sand, but even if unarmed camp fol
lowers, men in charge of provision
trains, hospitals and camps were
counted, it is doubtful if that nnmber
cauld be found actually in service.
There are thousands of Cubans whj
would willingly cast their lot with the
patriotic army, but lack of arms and
ammunition prevent The insurgent
forces operate as a rule in tones or dis
tricts and are organised on military
lines. Tbe columns of Gomez, Maceo,
Lac ret and Banderas are, however,
limited to no one province but pass
from one to another under direct orders
of Gotnet The commander-in-chief Is
now in Matanzas and the others have
re-invaded Havana province. The fol

and location of the forces of the prin

Kantarky Legislature.
Fran efobt, Ky., March 18. "Ever
lastingly, eternally and forever," accord
ing to "Cy" Brown's motion, the joint
assembly of tbe Kentucky legistature
adjourned yesterday The entire e
sion lias been devoid of results. Pri
marily, the chief business of tbe body
tbe provision of proper meant and the
enactment of just laws for tbe conduct
and ad mi o titration of government has
been neglected in the absorbing interest
attendant upon tbe senatorial contest.
During the lesson the rare spectacle
tl a state capitol filled with troops and
the enforcements of martial la was
presented. The revenue bills failed to
pes. Tbe urgent necessity for their
passage is apparent from the fact that
tbe present indebtedness of Ken lock y is
$860,000.
The militia leaves tomorrow. There
was a grand review at the capitol, at
which Governor Bradley made a speech
thanking them for their services.
Tbe proceedings of both branches
were pretty much like those of other
legislatures, being marked by a disposi
tion on tho part of members to do as
little as possible.

WafcHU-'it rox, D. D., March 19. The
announ exent that the resolutions re
ported from the committee oi foreign
affairs denouncing Ainhacsador Bayar4
would be the special order of business
in the bouse failed to attract to the ball
any unusual attendance, and thereby
tbe altnenteet deprived tneuiselves of
the privilege of liearii.g the notable ora
torical effort of the session, the speech
of Mr. Cousins (rep. 1. in support of
the resolutions.
The hour fixed for the consideration "f
the leaolutioo was 1 :30, and the niieol
laneous business of the morning was
not sutfi cient in volume to occupy all of
the time after assembling until Ijien so
that a rececsof fifteen minutes preceded
the beginning of the debate. A num
ber of priva'e bills were passed in tl e
house, but only one of public import
ance, a joint senate resolution instruct
ing the secretary of war to transmit an
estimate of the cost of deeening the
channel from Hampton Roads to the
Norfolk navy yard. The report of elec
tion committee No. 2. confirming Mr.
Rusk (dem.) in nil seat bh representa
tive from the Third Maryland district
was received and adopted.
When Mr. Hill called up the Iiaard
resoluticns about half of the menilxTg
of tbe house were in their seats while
the public galleriej were only comfort
ably filled. In the diplomatic gallery
were ilaron von Ketllcr (secretary of
the German embassy; Senor Domingo.) i
charge d' affaires of the A-ventine Re
public, and Mrs. Doiiiingtic-z ; Mme Ro
mero, wife of the Mexican minister;
Mrs. J. W, Foster and Mrj. Van ltei s
sellaer, Krucgfr, (Julian Gordon). The
members' gallery contained the wives
and members of the families ot numer
ous representatives.
Mr. Hitt was not in aood cond.tion
physically and after a few minutes his
voice gave out and he was compelled to
close. In conclusion lie expressed the
hope that the resolutions would be
adopted, saying that such spet-hea a
those made by Mr. Bayard destroyed
the respect which an ambassador ought
to command, diminished his usefulness
and was a wrong to the people he repre
sented. Mr. McCre ry (dem., Ky.) and Mr.
Dinsmore (dem., Ark.) in speeches of
more than an hour's lergth each, de
fended Mr. Bayard and opposed tbe
passage of the resolutions.
Mr. Draper (rep., Ms.) a member -A
the committee on foreign affairs, de
plored the severity of the language in
the resolutions of censure ami in ac
cordance with his views of the duty oi
the house gave notice that he wou:d
ask separate votes upon the two resolu
tions. .Mr. Cousins' speech advocating the
adoption of the committee's rcxrt was
the.feature of the occasion. It -as by
turns sarcastic and t loiim-nt, til with
criticisms of Mr. Bayard and glowing
with pictures of the greatti' Sii and gloiy
of the country and of ll.e individual,
under the syste n of protection which
the ambassador had denounced. He
ipeke for nearly an hour, commanding
th"utigliout the attention of all hearers,
to a marked degree, and at the close was
given an ovation that 1 uited several
minutes.
Tbe resolutions will be the subject of
consideration tomorrow, and a vote up
on thern will not be reached nntii the
close of the session and probably not
until Friday.
Hrowa Whitewashed.
6ak Ibakcisco, March 19. The
mem t ers of the First Congregational
church of this city at their regular
Wednesday nivht prayer meeting last
evening, were formally served with a
copy of the verdict rendered by the
ecclesiastical court of inquiry selected
to investigate charges of immoral con
duct and intimidation preferred against
Dr. G. O. Brown, paster of tbe Congre
gation. Tbe finding censures the pas
tor on tbe latter charge, without, bow
ever, fixing a penalty. Immoral con
duct was not proven, bat the doctor's
explanation of certain incidents in con
nection with his relat ons with Miss
Overman, Mrs. Tunnel and Mrs. David
son was not satisfactory to the coun
cil. A large majority of the anti-Brown
faction absented themselves from the
prayer meeting, having previously
agreed not to pa: t id pate In any de
votional exercises conducted by 0e doc
tor. A resolution to tbe effect that a
change of pastors was desirable was
laid on the table. While tbit would
appear favorable to the doctor, it must
be remembered that but a small num
ber of tbe congregatioa were present
tbe audience consisting largely of curi
osity seekers. Dr. Brown's adherents
and enemies alike agree that tho effect
of tho investigation will bs to disrupt
tho congregation and divide tho cbaifb.
At present no one can say bow tho
scandal will terminate.

Tin", Cal., March 20. An attempt
was made at 1 o'clock yesterday mo n-
! ing to bold up the Southern Pacific rail
way's southbound passenger train No.
19 between Tulare and Goechen av
tions. In a duel with one of tbe rob'
Undet Sheriff Earl Daggett wai dan
gerously, if not fatally, wounded and
Deputy Victor Reed received a bullet
in the shoulder wiiicu may prove trou
blesome. The robber, who ia reported
to be a member of the noted Dalton
gang named MeConib, was riddled with
bullets and dropped from the tender of
tbe engine, rolling down the side of the
iump, where he wa found a few hours
later, stone dead. a
About ten days agi Sheriff Merritt of
Tu.are received information that an at
tempt, was to be made to hold up pas
senger train N'o. 20, northbound, on the
night of the 18:h, between Tulare and
Goschen. He immediately prepared to
irive the roblfers a warm leception.
Last night a posse of four deputies was
placed on train No. 20, while Daggett
and Reed were selected to guard No. 19
in case the bandits should attempt to
throw them off the scent and hold up
No. 19 intead of No. 20.
Djgett and Reed were seated on top
of the co il bunkers on the tender, with
thi ir backs to the baggage car. When
m ar Tagus siding, eight miles distant
from Tuiare, the engineer observed a
masked man crawling over the coal to
ward tbe officers. He shouted an alarm
but the robber was tro quick and plant
ed a bullet in Daggett's side. Reed
drew his revolver and emptied the en
tire stx chambers into the bandit at
short range, receiving a slight wound in
the shoulder in return. The road agent
ilropjx'd from the tender, leaving a pool
of blo wl behind him.
The train went on to Tulare, where
Daggett's wounds were dressed and
found to be serious. A posce was quick
ly organized and started for Tagus.
Before reaching the siding they found
the body of the dead roblier beside the
track. No truce of his accomplices, if
he had any, was discoverei'. The blood
stained rifle of the bandit was also
picked up Ther3 is still a doubt as to
the identity of the dead man, but judg
ing from the nerve be displayed he was
no novice at the business and had evi
dently carefully planned the holdup.
The dead robiier has lieen identified
as Dan McOall, a laborer, who has leen
working in the vicinity of Visalia. Lov
ern, a notorious character, Charles Ar
detl, a barkeeper, and John Haynes, a
Salvation army man, have been arrest
ed for supposed complicity in the at
tempted robbery.
Striking ll .r.lrr.
Chicago, March '.'). A delegation
from t' e striking tailors vicited the
(hop of Klein A Mirks, 128 Fifth ave
nue, yesterday morning and called upon
the 100 men and girls employed there to
quit work and join the big strike. They
were also asked to join the union, and
so much excitement followed among
strikers, sympathizers and employes
that the proprietors closed the p)ace
and called tbe police to clear the rooms
and passageways. Some of the em
ployes went to the strike headquarters,
but the firm expects most of them to
return to work tomorrow, raying they
were scared out.
A form of agreemcn was dra n up
by the uuited garment workers' yester
day for the contractors to sign as a basis
of settlement for their part of the strike.
The proposition was considered by the
employers and rejected, the most ob
noxious part lieing a requirement of a
liond of $200 by each contractor to keep
the agreement.
The contractors claim only five shops
sre clo-ed, and the strike leaders eay
all are closed except one. All of the
shops that are running are under police
protection.
Montreal Kiposltlon Hroke.
Montbkal, March 20. A tensution
has been caused here by the sudden de
parture of Joseph H. Stiles, promoter
of the defunct British Empire exposi
tion scheme. Since tbe collapse of the
project, Stiles has been besieged by
creditors and not being able .to meet
them he quietly left the city en route
for England,
Considerable sums of money have been
paid to Stiles and his agents on account
of the concessions and contracts of var
ious kinds, but these sums are far from
representing the actual losses of differ
ent parties interested. C. Gaston Akoun
of New York is said to have paid $1,000
to Stiles for tbe privilege of showing
the "Streets of Cairo" at the proposed
ox position. Akoun has a large consign
ment of camels, donkeys and Arabian
horses and twenty-five men and women
natives of Algeria, now on their way
across the Atlantic to Mr. Akoun, who
had to pay the French government a
thousand francs deposit on each mem
ber of the troupe a a guarantee for
their aafe return. The greatest victims
here of tho collapse of the exposition
scheme are George C. Huttmeyer A Co.,
who are creditors for about $20,000 for
printing, and who yesterday made an
assignment.

cold weather, be contracted what wa
thought to be sciatica, lie having first
noticed it one morning in not lieing able
to arise from his lil. After the usual
treatment for this disease he failed In im
prove, but, on the contrary, grew rapidly
worse, the case developing into Hemiple
gia, or partial paralysis of the entire right
side of the body. Kic.-tricity, tonic and
masKHKP, etc., were ail given a trial, but
nothing gave any benefit, and the paraly
se continued. In despair he was coin
nelled to hear his physician announce thai
his case was hopeless. About mat nm.
his wife noticed one of your adfrtie
inents and concluded to try your I'mk
1'llls.
"He had given up Iiok- and it repaired
great deal of Ugging on the part of hi
wife to persuade him to take tbem reu
Jarlv. "lie, however, did as she desired, and
if apjiearanees indicate health in this man,
one would think he was better than before
his paralysis.
" 'Why,' says he, '1 began to Improv
in two days, and in four or five weeks I
'was entirely well an. I at work.'
1 "Having s-en these results, I concluded
hat such a remedy is surely worth a tniil
el the hands of any physician, and con"
fluently nbvn a short time later I was
called upon to treat a lady suffering wild
palpitation of the heart and great uerv
ous prostration, after the usual remedies
failed to relieve, I ordered lr. Williams'
i'ink Tills. The result was simply aston
ishing. Her attacks became less frequent
tind also less in severity, until by tb-ir
use for a period of only two months, she
was the picture of health, rosy-cheeked
iiml bright-eyed, as well as ever, and she
lias continued so until to-day, more than
one year since she twk any medicine. 1
have found these pills a specific for
chorea, or as more i-omamuly known. St.
Vitus' dance, as beneficial resulis have in
nil cases marked their use. As a spring
tonic any one who, from overwork or
nervous strain during a long winter has
become pale and languid, tbe I'ink Tills
will do wonders in brighleiiirg 'he couu
tenance and in buoying the spirits, bring
ing roses to the pallid lips and renewing
the fountain of youth.

HOW HE LOST HIS SWEETHEART.
Courtship Hlvulry of Tenneaaee Mo
and tbe Heroarkuhle Outcome.
When tbe morning extirexs arrived rw
cently from Brleevllle there came as
HaasengMs Robert M. Lindsay and
bride, nee Miss Nellie (ilrton, of Camji
Hairemnn, Ohio. Mr. Lindsay Is one.
of the largest coal operators In this sec
tion of TenuesHee, and bis arrtial with
a wife was a very happy surprise to tils
friends. Around their wedding Is wov
en a romance rather out of tbe usual
run of air sirs. About a year ago C. M.
Moore, also of this place, visited the
Normal University at Lebnnon, Ohio,
and by accident met Mlsa Glrton, and
fell in love with her. Moore and Lind
say were bosom friends, and when the
former returned to this place he con
fided to Llndaay the details of his Ohio
visit In a Joking way Lindsay vowed
that be would win Miss Glrton away
from Moore, and the latter, with true
chivalry, assured him that tbe contest
should be fraught with none aave the
kindliest feelings, and that the nneuc
cesaful suitor should be best man at the
wedding. Soon thereafter Lindsay ad
dressed a letter to the lady In question.
A correspondence soon sprang up and
In the fall, Lindsay, after an exchange
of photographs, begged tbs privilege
f calling upon Mlaa Glrton at ber home.
Tbe latter referred hla request to bar
father, a G. A. R. veteran, who com
mnnicated with Tennessee comrades to
ascertain what kind of a man Lindsay
was. In due coarse of time the father
waa Informed that the gentleman was
all that could be desired In the way of
a son In-law, and when TnleUde was at
band the Southerner waa pressing his
salt with Miss Glrton. When he re
turned to this city at tbe close of the
holidays he served notice upon Moors
that It was tbe ex pressed wlab of Miss
Glrton and himself that he should be
the beat man at their wedding In May.
The ttnsucceasful rival lived up to his
bargBln.-twluuatl Commercial Ga
sotte. Tincture of myrrh is one of the beat
things to use as a mouth wash. ' It har
dens tbe gums, lesves a clean tails In
Ihe month and a pleasant odo- on the
breath.
