May 9.—Captain Huberts of the Warren Ian steamship Roman, now in this port, reports that at noon last Fri day, when 7" miles southeast of Sable island, or about Cikj miles due east of Bos ton. a Spanish torpedo boat was sighted. Site was sharp and low at both ends, with two funnels close together. She had no masts and she showed no flag. She was under full head of steam and was clear ing the water at the rate of 12 knots an h ur. about the same speed that the Ito man was then maintaining. She continued steaming in the same .ireetion for fully half an hour after she was sighted and was apparently gaining slightly on the Homan. At this juncture4 a thick fog settled over the ocean and th torpedo boat was lost sight of. The incident was considered of sufficient importance for Pilot George \V. Lawless, who brought the Homan into this port, to notify Captain Sands, commander of the cruiser Columbia, now in the harbor. Captain Sands dispatched one of th“ lieu tenants in a steam launch to the Roman to obtain full particulars. It Is Major General Coppinger. Washington. May 9.—In obedience to orders.

The most signifi cant fact of the present moment is that the military party is beginning o use its undoubted strength. Gen. Lochambre, who has lately returned from the Philip pines. convened, yesterday (Sunday), a meeting of the military members of the Cortes, at which it was resolved to ac centuate their solidarity on ad questions directly or indirectly connected with the army, such action to be wholly irrespec tive and independent of polities. “At a future meeting, they would invite (Continued on page 2.)

THE GENERAL WAR SITUATION. (Continued from page 1.) concentration themselves. The order as published by the department is thought in some quarters to warrant \he assumption that it contemplates a speedy movement of the United States military forces upon Cuba and in much greater force than was originally planned. The war department officials refuse to say anything on this point, but there is every evidence that they expect a short, sharp, conclusive and immediate campaign, such as could not be waged by 5000 or 10,000 soldiers. It is also to be noted that preparations made by the quartermaster’s depart ment and the commissary department, so far as disclosed by actual orders, in dicate that provisionists being made for mobilizing, transporting and feel ing many thousands of men outside of the United States. With a view of systematizing tin work of mobilizing the forces and put ting them in service, the yar depart ment has planned a scheme which it is believed will very much hasten the work of getting the men together and equipping them, while avoiding any congestion of the railroad traffic, in stead of allowing all the troops called for from a particular state to be as sembled and broken in at the rendez vous, the department is instructing its mustering officers to complete the or ganization of regiments as rapidly as possible and as soon as om* is organized to report the fact; to th department, when that regiment will be ordered it once to the point selected for concen tration. In this way the government will be relieved greatly in the distribution of stores, which will be called for only as fast as they are needed. The men will also be* mere amenabl* to disci pline when quickly transferred to the concentration points outside their «»wn states. It is the expectation that the first regiments organized and reported from the states will he sent to Chatta nooga. thence going to Cuba via Mo bile, Tampa, New Orleans and Gal veston. for expeditions will be des patched from each of these ports. The governor of a state will hav*- no hand in the designation of the regiments to go to particular concentration camps; the destination will depend on tlie promptness with which the volunteers are organized and are ready for trans portation. Probably about one-third of th*- en tire levy called for by the President of about 40,000 troops will constitute the force to be sent South to take part in the first Cuban service, following the regular army forces. These troops will be the first to receive their equipments just as was defined in Gen. Miles' cir cular issued, today. When they un organized. equipped and concentrated, the government will be ready t«> equip the second contingent, namely tie forces about equal to another third of the total call, which will be assigned the defences of tie* coast and harbors, replacing the regular United States troops withdrawn from these post:-*.. Thus, it w ill be noted from a study of the concentration or that six regiments of two troops of New Voik volunteers are assigned to duty under command of the department of the east com manding coast and river, as guards to prop i tin important shipping inter* sts of that section. When these an* equipped, the govern nu-nt will turn its attention to the thin class, comprising th>- last third «>f tin 125.001* volunte I'.-; e.-.lled P**-. It is :he sin ere hope of the war d* partnn-nt that i will not be ••ailed upon t fully i-quo these troops before hos;ilities are it ai end. but tie- work of preparations is pro cowling on the iontr.il> assumption. Thi third division will constitute the .--econ* reserve, to be drawn upon for reinforce ments whenev- r needed, and it is pussibl that the men will never be ade.l upon t leave their own states unless the plans n the war department miscarry. Out of the first eiass will come th troops which will be sen; to the I'kikppiu Islands. Gen. Miles has prepared scheme changing the boundaries of th present department to facilitate the wort ing out of this plan and it is now befoi Secretary Alger for improvement.

In bis cablegram received here, Satur day. tin- admiral made no requests for troops, not knowing the government’s in tention in regard to the occupation of the islands, it seems quite certain, however, that tb' government intends to make an a 'W, y will be so informed. It is not probable that the squadron will bombard the city or engage in any active work against tile fortifica tions there, except such as the admiral may find necessary in order to retain con trol of points now in his possession. On the arrival of the troops, which will he immediately concentrated from the 1 \n I tic coast state,, it is expected that a landing will be made at once and opera tions begun to capture the city and re duce tlie remaining fortification--. In ad dition to the or K'hh) troops, the trans ports will also take out a considerable j cargo of supplies, in hiding ammunition. Til■ Pp si 1-ait and members of bis cab inet arc now expecting important news from Admiral Sampson's fleet, which was dispatch 'd against Porto Rico. It is be lieved that his victory then* will be as complete as was that of Admiral Davy i at Manila, although it is hardly to be ex j peel' d that the consequences to his fleet will be as unimportant. Xn alarm is l'*’h as t the when ahouts of the Spanish fleet, and ir certainly is 1 not expected that Admiral Sampson will encounter them at Porto Itico. As to the plans of campaign in Cuba, lit is under-stO"d that there has been no material change from those announced some time ago. At the proper time it is j. expected that a landing of a considerable Ion c with provisions and munitions for the insurgents will he effected at some easily accessible point an l that an active campaign will then la-gin from the rear as well as from the fleets in front of Ha vana and other important seaports. 50 000 SOLDIERS To Bo at Once concentrated in the Vicinil; of Philadelphia.

"In the ptesent juncture there is no time t• i lose. It is useless to debate. We must reserve all our strength and all our energy for tomorrow. Our first duty is to unite in order to vanquish our enemies and to uphold the honor of Spain. It is necessary, to secure that end. for the government to have the support of all. without consideration of party and exclusively on patriotic grounds. Parliament, too. must grant j the government the resources required. "Now this is precisely what grieves l me.

They thus paralyze our efforts and di minish the strength which is indispen sible to the government. “In such difficult times some are even ceaselessly intriguing, others are full of reticence and all has been dene in the name of the fatherland. Attempts have even been made to assail the monarchy, without their authors ap pearing to imagine for a moment that this is simply weakening the country, lowering the prestige of the flag, tend ing to discouragement of the troops and the encouragement of our enemies.

On the contrary 1 desired a peaceful solution which would have protected our interests and honor, our rights and sovereignty. The govern ment did everything to avoid a conflict, more even than it should have done. Then our adversaries began to treat us with contempt; war because inevitable and we are compelled to accept it with till its consequences, whatever they may be. “The situation is very simple and un fortunately cannot be concealed. Spain i is desolated and' ruined by internal j troubles. The United States have coveted Cuba for a long time, first b cause it is an excellent strategic point, second, so as to be masters of the in teroceanic trade. To attain their oh j Jeet they have literally hesitated at 'i ithing. They knew the state of out i finance and took advantage of it to attack us, after having assisted the I Cuban insurrection with a view of completing our ruin and with a cut and I dried plan declaring war was as soon as they considered our examination sufficiently advanced. Now that the struggle has begun, the Americans continue the same tac ti'-s. Instead of openly making war they encourage in every way the i troubles in Cuba, Porto Itieo and the Philippines, and if they could they would stir up an insurrection in the peninsula.

Dauy Rennebec Journal. 55th CONGRESS. Com. Dewey Promoted to Rank of Rear Admiral. Both Branches Also Unanimously Tender Him Vote of Thanks. And In Addition Will Be Presented With Medal and Sword. Washington, May '.'.—The greater part of today in the House was con sumed by war measures. The recom mendation of the President that a vote of thanks tie tendered Commodore Hewey and his associate oliieers and men was followed quickly with a unanimous vote, and with equal eon cert the House passed the bill creating an additional rear adtniralship for the hero of Manila. The bill providing for the organiza tion of volunteer engineer brigade and enlistment of 10,000 volunteer troops immune to tropical diseases, was passed after two hours' debate. The principal ground of opposition presented was found in the feature giv ing to the President the appointment of all officers. The Senate hill authorizing the army to distribute food among the suffering Cubans and to arm the Cuban people was passed. An unusually large crowd was in the House? galleries, today, being brought to the Capitol in anticipation of a mes sage? fnnn the President, relative to the' Manila victory and recommending a vote of thanks to acting Admiral lVwey and his men. A very large a; P raia ir of members was on the tloor. As soon as the journal had been read th" President's message was presented and read. At the conclusion a demonstra tion on tiie floor and in the galleries followed which continued several minutes. When til" applause ceased, Boutelle. chairman of ih-- House committee on naval affairs, offered and asked im mediap- e-onsideralien of a joint resolu tion on tendering the thanks of Con gress. in line with the President's recommendation. Butuelle moved the adoption of the resolution. I'pon th" suggestion of Henry, Miss., tin- vot was made a rising one and it was unanimous.

King. Ptah. asserted that the mil was unnecessary: that it discredited the bravery and power of the troops ir doubting that 1.10,000 men already or ganized, aided by our fleet, was in adequate to subjugate the island and establish peace. ‘If we had landed 21.000 men on the soil of Cuba two weeks ago." he declared with vehe mence, "and had taken adequate arm: to tile insurgents, and had deployed out fleet before Havana. Havana long sine, would have fallen and the Stars am Stripes long ere this would have floated from Mono Castle.” Hawley, Texas, said the bravery "i th-- bravest men could not rope witt the hidden and insiduous foe. yellow i’-ver. before which armies bowed. Th. organization of inimunes was impera tive under the conditions in Cuba. Brow. Penn., the veteran member a thi' House, criticised these members, "'ho assumed to know better how to conduct the war than the 1’resident and his secretaries of war and navy. He said many people believed U would have been folly io risk our licet against Havana while the Spanish licet was on the sea. Steel. Hid., approved the bill. Sayers. Texas, said that while he preferred to have the bill amended so as to leave the naming of the officers with the vol unteers. he would support it without such amendment in the event that the hitler could not lie secured. Hewis. Wash., opposed the feature of the bill which placed with the Presi dent the appointment of ofllecrs and further opposed the bill because it was indefinite as to the determination ot the question of the volunteers’ imr m unity.

Texas, a brief speech upon the danger of legis lating at this time touching the army and navy establishments. He said Congress was united in a determination to prosecute the war to an early and victorious end. but it should be on guard against any permanent increase in the army and navy features of the government. He referred to recent journalistic expressions congratulating the country upon the growth of senti ment favorable to a stronger navy and army as deplorable.

In compliance with a wise provision of the statute, it becomes my duty to pro claim Tuesday, the 10th Day of May, 1898, AS ARBOR DAY, and I earnestly recommend to all people in this State that they observe the day by the planting of trees, shrubs and vines for the adornment of their homes, the beautifying of their fields, their school grounds and roadways. I am persuaded that the influence of such an observance, with concert of ef fort, will ever bo ennobling and benefi cent, and will bear witness in the years to come that we, caring for the future, devoted this day to beautifying and in creasing the value of our estates. Given at the Executive Chamber, in Au gusta, this twenty-second day of April, in the year of our Eord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, and of the Indepcndenco of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-second. lleweeiLyn TOWERS. By the Governor, BYRON BOYD, Secretary of State. Wonder if Blanco wouldn't like to de clare an armistice? The volunteers have no objections to a trip to the Philippines. The course of empire continues to make its march westward. “Surrender or sink" is Sampson’s ul timatum to the Spanish lleet. Spain is discovering that our dogs of war bite much worse1 than they bark. The expectant eyes of the American people are now turned toward Porto Rico. Every day gives added proof that the Spaniards are the poorest marksmen on earth. Dewey's politics have not yet been discussed in the papers.—but then, he's from Vermont and it isn't necessary. If Dewey is to be made a rear ad miral we hope the title is a misleading one. His place is forever in tne van. The Senate Democrats were red hot for war. Will they now try to embar rass the government by holding up the war revenue bill, and trying to load their financial vagaries upon it? Speaking of coolness, v\hat would you call that act of Commodore Dewey in stopping the battle to let his men have breakfast, and then continuing his work of destruction and death? Senators Hanna and Tillman led tin Washington cheering when Dewey’s message was received, and then locket arms and went to the White House to gether. Down with party lines; we art all Americans now. One of the humorous comments upoi the war is from the Libre Parole o Paris, which declares: “The day h coming when Europe will cease to tol erate such miscreants and assassins a; John Bull and Brother Jonathan.” A revolution in Spain that woult make Weyler dictator would not fail ty the Governor, according to law, for the planting of trees and shrubs, and for the general beautifying of lawns, grounds and highways. The observance of such a day had its origin.not many years ago, on the prairies of Nebraska, and tlienee it has spread to all parts of the I’nion. The question of the de struction of our forests has become a vital one in many parts of the country, and in no section is it a matter that can be ignored. Here in Maine we have great forest areas, but the crying need of sy's tematic forestry in our lumbering operations is every year more apparent. It is the enormous waste that causes the greatest drain on our lumber re sources, a waste that is totally unnec essary and which with intelligent effort could quickly lie stopped. Would that some of the spirit of Arbor day could be imbibed by the lumbermen of Maine. The day is not far distant when Americ ans, as well as Euro-peans, will have to apply themselves to the science of forestry. I tut the observance f Arbor day is a simpler matter than this to most of us. Those who have the grounds, whether living in the city or the country should improve the opportunity to plant trees, shrubs or vines, to care for those al ready planted, to trim out unnecessary bushes, and in general to do such work as will make more beautiful and at tractive the home and the community. If all our people would improve the day in the practical manner which is its object, what a happy change it would make in every village, town and city in the State. Well may school children be taught the lessons of Arbor day: they are as truly sacred and patriotic les sons as those of February -2 or July 4. Park commissioners and street com missioners can do much, but every owner of a home should keep its sur roundings neat, and take a live interest in the matter of shady streets and at tractive lawns. In the country the les son of Arbor clay needs more to be learned than in most of our cities, for where nature does the most her human children are often the most careless of her beauty. No man can be too busy to make the surroundings of his home pleasant, to have trees and vines and flowers and well cut grass around his house, and to keep the- sides of the neighboring highway neat and clean. There is great need of such work in our rural districts. Why not observe Arbor day?

Waiting for the Next Battle. Tin' heart of the American people is far out to sea with Admiral Sampson and his mighty battleships, it is hoped he may meet the Spanish fleet; that is all he asks and all that is all his coun trymen desire. If he can but meet the enemy, the tragic tale of Manila bay win be repeated and the fate of Spain's Atlantic fleet will be that of her Pacific naval force. The fleet of Spain that itas so mysteriously disappeared and which is expected to turn up at Porto Rico, is large and powerful, but that under the American admiral is made up of those magnificent fighting en gines. the Iowa, Indiana, New York. Puritan, Amphitrite and several nn armoied cruisers and torpedo boats. American seamanship, gunnery and bravery make the odds much in our favor and we may rest assured that when those sea forces meet the Maine will be remembered in the good, old fashioned way. The air is charged with all kinds of rumors, but it seems certain the Span ish fleet left Cape Verde for Porto Rico and that the greatest naval battle for generations, if not in the world's his tory, will lie fought near there very soon. It cannot be expected that Ad miral Sampson can gain as signal a victory as Admiral Dewey won, or that the unprecedented feat of destroying tin* enemy's entire fleet with many hundred lives, without the loss of a single American life, can again be ac complished. But our government, our sailors and our public feel confident that the general results will so closely approximate each other that the differ ence will be immaterial to Spain. In the meantime the Oregon is com ing safely northward, and the people oil the North Atlantic coast are draw ing their breath a little more regularly and with a less panicky palpitation of the heart. Preparations are being lias timed to rush troops to the Philippines and to Cuba, and perhaps also to Porto Rico. If Sampson can only sight that Spanish squadron the problem of out war with Spain will lie reduced to very i simple proportions. The war is being vigorously pushed. If it is made sharp, it will certainly lie short and decisive. Humanity's cause is rushing on to a glorious triumph. God speed the cause of the right. i i ne i- rench steamer Lafayette was seized under a misunderstanding, and j it is well she was promptly released. I It would have been hard, indeed, foi II the 1’nited States to have had even a siight unpleasantness with the French i republic over anything bearing the J name of the beloved Lafayette. ■j I* is food for reflection that every i j cruiser and every transport, which wt send out to Manila will have to stoj: ‘j at Honolulu to coal— and t'ncle Sam will lose no time in hoisting his flag j over that indispensable way station. Riots and the Price of Wheat. The bread riots in Italy and the de mand for cheaper food in France have a much closer connection with the rise of the price of wheat in this country than the war. In those countries it has been found necessary to remove the im port duty on wheat in order to satisfy the people. The result has been an in creased demand for American wheat with the consequent advance in price. Bread riots are not common in France, but they are in Italy. When there is a strong popular outcry against t lie dearness of the most important neces sary of life the government must take action. When the trouble blows over the duty is put hack, because the reve nue is a necessity. There is an in creased consumption now in this coun try for obvious reasons, but that fact would of itself have hut little effect on the price of wheat in the United States. Tt is the foreign market that causes the lluetuations and fixes the price. England, France, Germany and other countries must always import wheat. The United States is not the only coun try that exports wheat, but, till things considered, it is the most important one. The methods of collecting statis tics and reporting on crop conditions generally during the year make it pos sible to arrive at a fair knowledge of what the crop is likely to lie. and cal culations are made accordingly. There is moreprobablility of a failure of crops in tlie countries that compete with tlie United States than in this land. Corners operate occasionally to dis trub the market, but actual demand and supply are the determining factors in tlie long run. So far as indications go, the price of wheat,which is now un usually high in this country, is likely to lie for some time much above what the average has been in the last few years. If the use of corn were as common in Europe as it is here, tile price of that article might be expected to rise much higher also. Corn follows wheat sym pathetically, as it always does to some extent, and the price now is considered good. The murder of live American mission aries on the west coast of Africa is a fresh reminder of the perils and hero ism of the men and women who take their lives in their hands when they go out to teach the gospel to savage peoples. Their labors attract little no tice, and their deaths are briefly chronicled, but they are of the stuff that heroes are made of. As might have been expected, there are a lot of way amateurs, some ot them in newspaper offices, who know! exactly how operations ought to be conducted, and are swift in their criti cisms when the army or the navy does not do exactly what they have outlined. But the responsible authorities appear to be getting on pretty well. Dixie" for Dewey. Oh, 1»■ Spaniards blow, en liras’, on blus lor. 'Tivii Dewey come, en jerk d his duster, fin away, Dat day.

Gardiner Herald: Tuesday is Arbor day, and the day should be observed for what it is intended by those owning or caring for real estate. The trans planting of young trees, the setting out of hedges, rose bushes and trailing vines, should be accompanied by the general clearing and cleaning up about residences and lawns. It is the indivi dual ettort put forth in this direction that counts, just as it is in any depart ment of life. Make your own lawns and residences look so mat and trim that your slovenly, lazy neighbor will lie ashamed of his own. And then if the street department don't keep the street in front of your home clear of refuse and in good condition it is your privilege to criticise and complain of this neglect. Your summer visitor w ill soon be here and if this work is not done he will think you are not yet out of your winter's nap. The city that is kept clean and wholesome through the individual pains of its citizens speaks of thrift and enterprise at lirst glance to the stranger. Aroostook Star-JIerald: A public official is fortunate in an exigency just in the measure that lie possesses qual ities to meet it and answer its de mands. Gov. Powers, who is called upon to discharge the serious duties of a "wargovernor” possesses in a marked degree the sound practical judgment, executive capacity and promptness re quired in such an emergency. Gov. Powers’ administration has shown it self from the first to be straightfor ward, capable and thoroughly business like, and the war emergency will fur nish still more forcible illustration that there is a strong and steady hand at the executive helm of the State govern ment.

Some of them may be as resourceful as was Hen But ler when the Dowell city council past an ordinance requiring, under a heavy penalty, that all dogs running at large should wear muzzles. Ben always re spected the law. whatever it was: and, the morning the ordinance went into effect, he walked down to his office, fol lowed by bis big Newfoundland dog. fully complying with its provisions. The animal wore a muzzle; but. in stead of wearing it in the usual place, it was tied to the end of his tail. Sure enough, the council had not specified w here the muzzle w as to be worn, and Benjamin had the better of them—as tie usually did of those who matched their wits against his. The Titomas ton law requires that the dogs shall be ehained up: but it does not say. as re ported, where the animal shall lie kept or w hat he shall be chained to.

T.ondon. April hi. ts'ix If every tilan could live an outdoor life, passing his time with gttti and fishing-rod and canoe, there would be less illness in the world. Unfortunately, the demands of modern civilization will permit very few men to live this ideal, healthful life. Many men have to pass the day shut up in offices and stores, and the nights in close apartments in crowded cities. They get little outdoor exercise. One of the results of this unhealthy, sedentary living is the awful prevalence of that dread disease— consumption. One sixth of all the deaths each year are due to this relentless enemy. Formerly physicians pronounced this dis ease incurable. It i now generally known that there is a marvelous medicine that for tht' past thirty years has been curing con sumption almost without a failure. It is I)r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures qS per cent, of all cases of consump tion, bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis and other diseases of the air passages. It is the great re-builder. It tears down, carries oft and excretes old, inert tissues and replaces them with the firm tissues of health. It restores the lost appetite and makes the digestion perfect. "Four years ago I had an attack of grip that left my throat and lungs in a had condition." writes Mrs. Mary Hartman, of 300 Darker St Mansfield, Ohio "The doctor said I had dis ease of the throat and hrotudiial tubes. I con tinued togrowwor.se.

BUCKLEY GOODRICH, Under Cony House, Augusta, marjg.eodtf AlnJuo pernumerary officer of the guard, -d Gieu t. J. H. Lapham of Co. B. It takes quite a little amount of food to feed tin1 hungry men that make up j the National Guard, and they are aj hungry lot of men from colonel to pri vate. Of course the food that is given tin men, is not such as many are used to 1 having at home, and could not he set j upon the table in as grand and tempt ing a style as at one of Augusta's crack hotels, but it all gets there in a sufficient quantity. The men do not look for style, neither do they expect to j have the food cooked as mother cooked it, so there is but very little grumbling ever heard among the men. The cooks of the various companies are as a rule, good ones, there being many who have had years of experi- 1 enee in one form and another. Many of the cooks, especially those of the j Second Regiment, are old logging camp I cooks, and know just how the boys like everything. Instead of the regular army fare ot hardtack, salt meat and coffee, the Na tional Guard have a change at every meal, so that every day brings some new article of food. The bill of fare is printed, and the cooks do not like the modern house wife, have to worry to think what they are to prepare for supper, so that there may be something new to suit their constituency. The cooks of the com panies at Camp Powers, have only to j follow the order laid down on the regu lar daily Gill of fare, and devote all their energies to making what is given them by their commissary department, as good as possible. The following is the regular weekly Gill of fare: SINN DAY. Breakfast Baked beans, brown bread, coffee or tea. Dinner—Vegetable soup, beef stew, pud ding. Supper—Stewed prunes, bread, cheese, coffee or tea. MONDAY. Breakfast—Fish, baked potatoes, coffee or tea. Dinner-Boiled dinner and vegetables. Supper—Steak, potatoes, bread, coffee or tea. TUESDAY. Breakfast—Ham and eggs, baked pota toes. coffee Of tea. Dinner— Roast beef, potatoes, bread, coffee or tea. Supper—fold roast beef, stewed prunes, bread, coffee or tea. WEDNESDAY. Breakfast- Beans and brown bread, cof fee or tea. Dinner—Roast Mutton and vegetables bread, coffee or tea. Supper—fold mutton, potatoes, bread, coffee or tea. THURSDAY. Breakfast—Pork chop, potatoes, bread, coffee or tea. Dinner—Boiled dinner and vegetables, bread, coffee or tea. Supper—Vegetable hash, stewed prunes, coffee or tea. 1 It I DAY. Breakfast—Fresh haddock, bread, cof fee or tea. Dinner—Salt lish, potatoes, beets and onions. Supper—Fish balls, bread, coffee or tea. SATURDAY. Breakfast—Bacon and eggs, johnny rake, coffee or lea. Dinner—Roast pork an 1 vegetables. Supper—-Baked beans and brown bread, pickles, coffee or tea. And about the amount consumed by the men. In each regiment commissary depart ment, there is a sheet called the ration sheet. It is exactly the same as that used in the regular army, and contain the figures that shows how many pounds or ounces, of every kind of food used, is required for a day's ration for one man, and for any number of men. From this sheet the estimates of the amount of food required for the com pany are made, and the food dealt out accordingly, to the company cooks. It was through the kindness of the genial commissary Sergeant Ralph W. Pulaifer of the Second Regiment, that j the Journal man was enabled to see the inner workings of the commissary de part inen t. M onday. The stores are kept in a little house in the cook house row, that is a litth larger than the ordinary cook houses, and it is to this house that the martyrs called cooks, assemble to get what they need for the day. Each article of food that is given out, is recorded on a large sheet that is divided into many spaces, one for each company, and the other departments, and the amounts given out. do not ex ceed the amount recorded on the ration sheet. To give tin example of the amount given out in a day, take that given to one company on Sunday, anti this does not include the meats: Forty-two pounds white bread. S pounds pickles. 24 cans baked beans, 10 pounds brown broad, one pock onions, one peek 1ur n;ps, one half peek beets, three heads of cabbage, eight pounds sugar, six pounds cheese, one barrel potatoes, which will last two days, 10 quarts of prunes. This will show that there are eOt pounds of while bread used in the one regiment in a day. The vegetables on this day were for tlu* soup only, and it can be imagined how many cabbages and other vege tables were required to feed the entire force at the vegetable dinner, Monday noon. It requires 4!i pounds of ham to a company for a breakfast, or r,40 pounds to a regiment. Thirty-four pounds >f roast pork will accommodate a com pany for dinner, and have some cold for supper. There were 40 pounds of fresh ha 1 doek eaten by a company for breakfast, Friday morning, or nearly a half a ton by the whole Guard. Quite an amount of coffee and tea is consumed, as it is Served three times a day. For tie* benefit of those who never visited tin* grounds, it may be ex plained that tin- rook houses and mess houses are arranged in two paralM rows along the west side of tin grounds, about eight feet apart. Th mess houses are about l-xlirt feet in sin while tin- cook houses are less than half as large. Kach cook house has a nice large cooking range and all the necessary cooking pots and tin dishes that are need- d, so tin* cook is but very little handicapped on a-count of lack of utensils, and there is sufficient room ba the cook and bis assistant to work in the bouse with ihe greatest of ease. Tin* water is obtained by the us** of a team with two hogsheads, ami k-*pt in barrels securely covered from the dirt and dust, just outside the conk house door. The work of washing the tin dish.-s from which the soldiers eat, is done largely by privates who are detailed for the work. This sec tion of the camp is one of the busiest of the whole at a time just be fore the meal hour. The clatter of the tin dishes, the hustling of the cook and the waiters getting everything in readi ness, taken with tin* savory orders that come from the row makes the plat one of interest, but very aggravating to a hungry man, who hasn't been in vited to indulge with the others.

G. 2d Regiment, who went to his home in Ran cor. last week, ou account of illness, re turned. Monday, to his company. Many eoniirtetits were made on tile Journal's estimate of the crowd. Sunday. The Journal estimated it at IL'H. while others set it a! 10.000. Wouldn't it he well to compromise on 1000? Several employes of the Maine Insane hospital have .signified their intention of volunteering, and Superintendent Dr. it. T. Sanborn says they art* to go, if he has to do all their work himself. Many expressions regarding the way to pose for inspection, and thus be looked upon as a soldierly-looking person, have been hear I, but the expression spoken by a sergeant to the man beside him on guard mount, takes the palm: "Throw out your chest, the ice man is coming." The soldiers are being toughened to be ing under lire, so that they do not min i it at all now. The manner employed in accomplishing this object is not done by the officials, lint by outsiders, and the many camera fiends are the ones who with their lover for “taking something" have exposed dollars' worth of negatives to the men. It seems as though every household in the State should have one of the pictures by tills time. Many of the young ladies of the city, are now wearing the crossed muskets: that are so often seen on the hats of the National Guard, as bosom pins. The miss who is so fortunate as to possess one of these is the envied of till the others, as it is a pretty sure sign that she is on intimate terms with some member of the Guard. During the dress parade of the 2d Regi ment at sunset. Monday evening, there was an alarm of tire in the 1st Regiment, as the fly over one of the conical tents in Co. C's quarters was blazing. A crowd quickly gathered, and one man with a pillow went to the top of the tent and tried to beat the flames out. Another man got upon the tent, and the whole tiling collapsed, much to the amusement of the crowd. As there was a fire in the stove, the men had to raise the canvas to prevent the whole from catching tire. The occupants of tile tents passed the night among the other tents. Loss by lire was small; no (insurance. STATE HOUSE. National Guardsmen Study Superin tendent of School’s Report. Hearing by Railroad Commissioners Who Arrange Many Inspections.

Local Matters MRS. WALDO RICHARDS. A Large and Select Audience Delighted With Her Readings, Last Evening. The Congregational eliapel was filled. Iasi evening, to ils utmost capacity by a select audience which Mrs. Waldo Rich ards of Boston, the world-famed reader, delighted in her own inimitable way. A number were present from Gardiner, the city which prou Uy claims Mrs. Richards as its own daughter. Mrs. Richards in her brilliant career before the public has so thoroughly established her reputation, both on this continent and abroad, that it goes without saying that last evening s entertainment was the best this city has enjoyed for many months. Augusta is certainly much indebted to the music committee of the Congregational church, and especially to the head of this commit tee, Mrs. J. Manchester Haynes, tor the privilege of hearing Mrs. Richards. For nearly two hours this talented lady swayed her hearers from laughter to tears at her own will. She rendered noth ing heavy or tragic, though several selec tions were serious and some pathetic. Rut most of her readings were in lighter win. anl she is supreme mistress of humor. As to dialect, she was equally at home in Scotch. Irish. Negro. Yankee and Dorset, while her child stories reached the reces ses of every heart. Some of her selections were: “The Way to Arcady." by Runner; ••The Rivals” and “l.'Knvoy,” by Kipling. “Fifteen Men and a Baby" and “The l.ittlcst One.” by Emma t\ White; "A Water-Dogged Town": “Seeing Things at Night," by Eugene Field; “Don't Kcer “Patsey.” by Kate Douglass Wiggin; “Miss Roxanna's Reflections": “The Kittle Dead Pussy fat"; "To Louise" and “When Malindy Sings.” by Paul Law rence Dunbar; and “The Kittle Boy s Rear Story." The next entertainment in the series will be a song recital by Miss Ethel Hyde of Rath, in the fongregationa! church, Monday evening. May hi. MUNICIPAL COURT Docs Big Rum Business.

By Teaching the People To Obey the Simplest Law of Nature Hundreds Have Been Cured of Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption. It seem? stranpe indeed that in this eniitjhtened age people should have to be taught that the air passages in the head, throat and lungs were made for dry air alone, and that moisture of any kind can not enter the bronchia! tubes and lungs. Vet such is the case, and the efforts of the K. T. Booth Com pany (who, during the past few months, have been teaching the people that great and unchangeable law of nature, which permits nothing but dry air to enter the bronchial tubes and lungs, and prevents moisture of any kind from entering tnese passages) show how much such a lesson is needed by th« general public. The reason why it has not been taught before is this: Until Hyomei’’was dis covered, there has never been found a germicide of sufficient power to kill the bacilli of bronchitis, asthma and consumption, yet volatile enough to impregnate every particle of air breathed by the patient and leave it tree from moisture. Since then, so important was this discovery considered by the medical profession, that over thirty-eight hundred physicians have prescribed this new method *>f treating diseases and instructed their patients in its HYOriEI CURES BY INHALATION It is Nature’s own remedy. Taken with the air you breathe, it reaches all the parts affected, killing tiie germs of disease at once, and bringing such re lief to the sufferer as cun be obtained in no other There is no danger., no risk.

TWO MEN KILLED One of Powder Mills at South Wind ham, Blown Up, Monday. Two Workmen Blown to Pieces-Cause ol Disaster Unknown. Portland, Me., May 1>.—At 2.20 o'clock, this afternoon, there was a terrific1 ex plosion at the Oiimlio Powder mills. The shock was felt in this city and to most people it seemed like an earth quake. By telephoning to South Wind ham and North Gorham, the Advertiser learned what had taken place. Tt appears that two workmen. Walter Maxfield and Frank Guptill, were en gaged in repairing the wheel mill, which stands quite a distance from all the other buildings. In fact the mills are built far apart on puri>ose, so that an explosion of one mill will not wreck the others. It is not definitely known what caused the explosion and probably never will he for both the men who alone could have any knowledge of the cause are dead. At 2.20 o’clock, the mill suddenly blew up, making a ter j rible report, killing Maxfield and Gup i till instantly and throwing the debris for many rods in every direction. Some of the timbers were hurled a great distance. The other mills wore heavily jarred but fortunately stood the shock without exploding. Houses which stood ;t mile distant were shaken so that dishes fell off the shelves and were broken. in fact so far away at Portland the shock was felt distinctly. The damage to the Oriental Powder Company, which owns and operates tie (bimbo powder mills, is not very heavy, j except in the loss of Stock. Til'1 liuild ing was an inexpensive structure. This makes one more fatal explosion 1 at Gamlio, and keeps up the average of fatal accidents there. Several explo sions have occurred there from time to time, none of them very damaging, but nearl> eve ry one resulted in the loss I ..f life. I Frank A.

WILL NEED MORE DEPUTIES. Proposed War Tax May Cause Division o Internal Revenue District. "Should tilt: war tax hill become a law." said John S. Williams, deputy collector of internal revenue, a day or two ago, "it may be necessary to sep arate Maine from New Hampshire In tin' revenue district and appoint addi tional deputy collectors.” Deputy Collector Williams was in town Saturday on ollicial business and in speaking of the proposed bill, now in the hands of Congress, said that even with present internal revenues tin deputy collectors had about all they could attend to in making collections, in further speaking of the matter hi said he had a talk with District Col lector Page. During this talk Collec tor Page had said there was but slight question imt wliat it would be neces sary to increase the number of depu ties. should the new Dill heroine a law. The plan as he outlined it was to sep arate Maine from New Hampshire as an internal revenue district and maki Maine a district by itself. Follow ine the same plan in operation while tin debt of the war of '61 was being paid. The plan further, as outlined, was ti divide the Stale into four distrii is and appoint two more deputy collectors t' \do the additional work which will Is Vi united, should the new bill become a Win-akin;; of tic nt w bill he said it w\e almost impossible to conceive tin w«Vk which s', ill In- required, should the Ujli be passed so as to go into el feet the first of June.

An Obstacle. 1 was climbing up a mountain path With many things to do. Important business of my own, And other people’s, too. A\ lien I ran against a Prejudice That quite cut off the view. My work was such as could tint wait, .\ly path quite dearly showed. My strength and time weiv limit'd, I carried quite a load. And tlu rc that hulking Prejudice Sat all across the road. So T spoke to him politely* For he was huge and high. And hogged tSint he would move a bit And me travel by; .He smiled, but as for moving! 1 fe didn’t even try. And then 1 reasoned quietly \Y it h t bat olossaI mule Mv time was short, no other path Tin mountain winds were cool; 1 argued like a Solomon. He sat there like a fool. Then l t'-’W into a passion. I danced aim howled and swore, pelted ami belabored him Till 1 was stiff and sore; He got as mad as 1 did. Put he sat there as before. And then i b« gged him n my knees; 1 might be kne. ling still. Jf so 1 hoped to move that mass Of obdurate ill-will; As well invite the nmnurm nt To vacate 1 inula r l till! So I sat before him helpb-ss. 1 n a n t esiiisy of woe; The mountain mists were rising fast, The sun was sinking slow. When a sudden inspiration ame. As sudden winds do blow. 1 took my hat. 1 look my stick. My load I s« tth d fa ir, 1 approached that awful inetthus With an absent-minded air. And I walked directly thro' him. As if he wasn't there! -Charlotte Perkins Stetson in Poston Herald. THE FIRST WAR DAYS. Rertiiniscenccsof a Field-IYIarsha! by Brevet. How well 1 remember the deep lines in the faces of friends in the days when we got the news of the bombardment of l'ort Sumter. First, tin re were in numerable multitudes of shouting men in tile streets, then a general expression of care in the countenances of the people. Then came the rush to find \Vi st Pointers and heroes of the Mexi can War and other fellow citizens, who. on the Hudson or the Kio t’.rande. or on tile march to the halls of the Monte zumas, had become experienced in the business of war. There followed the drillings, tile musierings, the camps of instruction, tile parades, the pathetic, thrilling matches of the regiments on the way to the front, the tearful part ings, tile news of battles, tie* terrible casualty lists, and all the pride, pomp, and circumstances, tie* misery and the glory of the tremendous drama of the combat of states and sections, by which at last through deluges of blood and oceans of misery, the Fuion was saved to become the mighty nation that it is, writes Mural finish ad in ihe Brooklyn Standard-Fnion. How well 1 remember, too, the streets of Paris in duly. 1S70. the sudden Solem nity that came upon and darkly cloud ed the gayeties of the splendid city how the Olliers and soldiers stood in tie* st reds reading portentious intelli gence in the frivolous Parisian jour nals: how ill** women in the shops stan d with drawn faces over their idle counters and talked us if tlveir conver sation had been studied and arranged, of the terrors of warfare—.tIt* dread traditions of the French people—how the poor tnen died on the battlefield to make great men, and the. kings who were responsible 'were never, killed! How the cuirassiers galloped through the streets with great envelopes con taining urgent orders under their belts; hotv the Emperor and Empress" drove amid acclamations, not general, from the Tuillet ieS to St. Cloud, the Empress holding a gigantic* parasol and bow ing right and left, and the Emperor lifted his shining silk hat as often as he was hailed, showing an extensive baldness, and his fiercely waxed mustache; how, ill*- troops for Algiers, in their fantastic cost times, streamed through the city, w ith trumpeters in advance, and a ^ur'-* prising roll of drums; how MafftjMjjj McMahan appeared, his face scayifej? from th>- sunshine of Africa.and waited in the depot of th* north on the'way. to Strasburg, in severe civilian's dress, and a new silk hat, his blue eyes sparkling as he glanced over the group of friends gathered to bid him goodby. Above all, 1 remember'of this stirring period the amazing frenzy of thepeople "f Paris when the war was declare* 1. The gigantic ting of the boulevards was one blaze of light, like a circling liver of (lame, thronged With innumer able carriages and oppressed w ith mul titudes of men. Tfte actresses* who "'•re songstresses dressed as goddesses of liberty, stood up in coaches, uphold ing tricoloK-d Hags and leading the frenzied populace fh singing ihe war song of France, the historical and terrible "Marseillaise." This was the hour of madness, when the French, in tens of thousands, shouted, "On to Berlin!" and "To Merlin in eight days!" The remembrance of this st ene is like that winch lingers of a great storm with a dazzling illumination of light ning. Through it all. in the night of the wildest excitement of the reckless ness of the humor cultivated in France, educated with apparent popular ap probation to turn all serious things to ridicule—T have a distinct place in memory for two groups of the repre sentative mischief-makers of the great and brilliant city, carrying slendci anes, something after the manner ot "itr political processions. One of these crowds incessantly cried. "Vive la peste," add the other, "Vive la pornme itit. ("Hurrah for the small pox,” and "Hurrah for fried potatoes!”) I am re minded of these tilings by recent dem onstrations of public feeling: the Presi dent's signing the congressional reso lutions of war and sending the ultima tutu of tin* Fiuted States to Madrid, where the people have exalted tbem selws into an enthusiasm that will cost them dear, for perseverance to the bitter end in the policy of comple ting tin* ruin of their country by hope less sacrifices of blood and money, in a cause already lost; for Cuba is lost to sl>ain as surely as is Mexico and Peru. Now. as the day is dawning, the first of the war. 1 can see as in a vision the great sheet of w hite paper printed with Mark ink, posted on the walls in Paris '--peculiar paper and ink. reserved for the use of the Imperial government— .announcing war! There was an im pressive simplicity in this white anti black poster, it was a momentous pa per ami boro llie signature of Napoleon military ballooning. The Most Interesting Feature of the Army Signal Service. ill* nj" balloon of the signal corps of la,‘ 1 uitod States army was sent up recently at Fort Wadsworth. New York harbor, for the first time in the Fast. ]‘s ,n^neuvers were watched with in tj'iest. for ii is upon tin* balloon corps that the ™ty will depend. to a greater \n' Iess f for its first knowledge of tio* approach of an entmv.

It was snon found that he had unusual char act.*r for the business of war. Young as he was. we soon found in him ex* 1 cutivo ability, and an unusual and un surpassed capacity. When battles wen. to be fought or service performed ii 1 warlike things he always took his place The night was never too dark, tin weather rawer p o cold, for prompt and rtheieut performance of his duty. When I became commander *»f the regiment he soon came to upon my staff, and 1 learned P* know him like a bonk, and love him like a brother. He naturally progressed, foi his talent and capacity otild not he unknown. The blendiesi ‘lay of the war. the day on which more men v m killed and wounded than any other day of the war. was Septemhet 17. 1m;_\ ill tile battle of Amietam. That battle began at daylight. Without breakfast,without coffee, the men went into the fig in and continued until al’tct the sun went down, lairly in the after noon they were famish'd and thirsty. 'Pile cemmissary department of the brigade was under Sergeant M* Kin ky s administration. Prom his hands every man in the regiment was served with le t coffee and warm meats, a tiling that has never occurred undek similar circumstances in any other army in the world, lb passed under 1 tire and delivered with his own hands 1 those things so essential for the men 1 for whom he was laboring. When in later years Major .McKinley s ■pidliiiis as a manager .*1 important un dertakings w ere called into question by somebody, the reply was made. ,*f famil iar rec.nl: “A man who, before he had attained the ag*> of twenty-one. kept up the supplies for the irmy of General ‘‘rook, in active service in the field, is not lacking in business ability." That his ac tion in emergency and und-r gr* at stress of circumstances is prompt and wise is shown by an accident occurring during Sheridan’s great battle at opequan. Gap- tain McKinley, as aide-d* amp on the staff of General Sheridan, brought a ver bal message t* General Duval. >niiriand ing the see.m 1 division, to move his com mand quickly to a position in the right of the Sixth Dorps, the first division hav ing previously been ordered to that posi tion. General Duval on receiving the or- 1 del- asked. “By what route shall 1 move my command?” Captain McKinley, knowing no more about the country than did General Huval, and without definite orders, replied. "I would move up this creek.” to which Duval answered: will not budge without definite orders.” Captain. McKinley replied: “This is a time of great emergency, General. I or- ler you, by command of General (.’rook, to move your command up this ravine to a position on the right of the army.” (lemral Duval obeyed, and moved on the route indicated by the young aide-de camp: attained the position, charged the enemy and drove them in confusion from their works, as the result cf the respon- sibility taken by Captain MeKinl -y in this critical moment. Of his personal courage in battle, a his- i lorian, writing of the Hattie of Winches ter. July iu. 1S(>4. says: 1 When it became necessary t*» fall back 1 it was discovered that one of the rogi- i ments was still at the point where it was posted at the beginning of the battle. (leneral Hayes, turning t*» Lieutenant McKinley, directed him to go and bring away the regiment if it ha 1 not already fallen hack. McKinley turned his horse and keenly spurred it. pushing at a tierce j gallop obliquely toward the advancing en- emy. A sad look came over General Hayes's face as he saw this gallant young hoy push rapidly forward to almost cer tain death. None of us expected to see him again as he pushed his horse through tlii‘ open fields, over fences, over ditches, while a well-directed fire from the enemy was poured upon him. with shells explol ing a round, about and over him. Once he was completely enveloped in the smoke of an exploding shell, and we thought he had gone down, but out of this smoke emerged his wiry little brown horse with M Kniley still lirmly seated, as erect as a hussar. He reached the regiment aud -rave the order to fall back. The colonel n reply said: “I am ready to go wher ■v* r von shall load, blit, nontenant. I be iev*- I ought to give those fellow:; a vol ov or two before I go.” McKinley's reply was: “Then up and at iu*m as quickly as possible." and on or ler- the regiment arose, give the enemy i crushing volley, followed with a rat ling lire, and then slowly retreated tin h r McKinley’s lead toward Winchester. \s McKinley drew up by the side of laves, after bringing the regiment to he brigade.

ACQUIRE BRAVERY. )ld Soldier Tells How io Overcome In herent Cowardice. 1 would like to let young men know, said an old soldier, "that brav ■ry. like almost any other attribute, ■an be acquired. I would like to let hem know this because there are some |mor fellows who are brought into the world with a timid nature that causes them rntich suffering. While having an' admiration for bravo men. they feel [hat they are cowards, and. accustom ng themselves to this belief.they never ittem.pt to light against their weak ness. Llo you know 1 really believe that most of the noted brave men of the world have become brave simply by systematically overcoming coward ice. Did not 1,unites, Napoleon's most [lashing general, say. 'The man who -ttys lie never felt fear is a poltroon and n liar." Itul. while Lannes thus ac knowledged to the sensation of fear, he never allowed himself to show it, and that is the point. Moreover, by practice such things become easy. Now. if there is any young man w ho is a coward and wishes to become brave, let me say this to him: Make up your mind first of all that it is much preferable to suffer death than to be trampled upon or humiliated. From what you have experienced you know the disgust, the suffering, acute and degrading, that results when you back dow n in an unmanly fashion. Hay this, then— I much prefer to die than to experience such feelings again. Im press it upon your mind, anti then, as a test to your spirit, force yourself to face those things that you have been avoiding from fright. If a man has been overawing you. bluffing you. in plain terms lay for him deliberately, bluff him back double, and if he w ishes to tight throw yourself upon him with tt vim and punch hard. He cannot do more than kill you. and. as you have made up your mind that it is better to die than to submit to humiliation, your death, as it were, is it thing already programmed. And if you whip him the sensation is very agreeable and frees you from any further fears of falling a victim to cowardice."—New Orleans Times-Denioerat. Apples for Cold Climates.

Serious Problem Which Confronts Ranchmen ol the West. 3 The wolf question is one of the mos j serious which confronts the ranchman «.f the West. People who live in cities know little and think little about it. They are so busy guarding: themselves against wolves in tailor-made clothing that they have little leisure to devote to consideration of the four-legged kinds. The annual loss from these posts in any one of the Western states will run far into the thousands of dol lars. however. Montana. Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, the Dakotas, New Mexico, Arizona, all that vast stretch of sage-brush land that lies within smelling distance of the Rockies,- is ravaged from end to end by the most voracious of our wild ani mals. Th’e loss in Montana ahum last winter from wolves was more than $100,000. They have not been exterminated >r kept w ithin reasonable hounds because of lack of concert on the part of the Western statesv s&ys the Chicago Times-Herald. If Montana offers $1 for the scalp f a full grown wolf and for the scalp of a coyote, while Wyoming offers for a wolf s^alp and $1 for a coyote scalp, all of the wolf scalps and coyote scalps taken in Wyoming will he shipped into Montana and the higher bounties collected. !t has been suggested that the difficulty could he smoothed by a great inter state convention to fix a uniform rate and urge the passage of suitable laws by respective legislatures. Possibly it could. If it were made worth while trained hunters would soon exter minate the predatory animals of the plains. As it is. they an- increasing with marvelous rapidity. All through the West arc 20 wolves where there was one five years ago. This is owing to the fact that many of the states have repealed their scalp statutes. Wolves destroy cattle, sheep an 1 horses. The losses mainly fall upon the cattle and horses. They do n >t have so good a chant** at sheep, owing to the presence of herd**rs, hut hun dreds upon hundreds of calves and colts are killed. If the cattle are cor ralled the wolves will not hesitate t enter the corral at night. It they are simply bedded down in the open the wolves will stamped them before day light. and when the herd is gather** 1 many will be missing. Wolves fre 1 quently kill for tlie mere pleasure of killing If given opportunity they will dost toy many more animals than they ran devour. The wolf is an exceeding j ly iioet and powerful animal.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION Official list, showing the number of delegates which the different cities, towns and plantations are entitled to. 20 cities, 421 towns, and 78 plantations, entitled to 1526 delegates. Republican State Committee, Augusta, Maine, May 2, 189S. The basis of representation in the call for the Republican State convention to be held at Augusta, Tuesday, June 28. 1898, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor to be supported at the September election. Each city, town and plantation will be entitled to one delegate and for each 7.7 votes cast for the Republican candi date for Governor in 1896, an additional delegate, and for a fraction of 40 votes in excess of 75 votes a further addi tional delegate. That there may be no misunderstand ing. the secretary of the committee has made a classification of delegates based upon this representation. The town or plantation which threw 74 votes is, un der this call, only entitled to one dele gate. In order to get a second delegate it must have thrown 75 votes for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1896. The fraction of 40 votes to give another delegate, must he in excess of 75 votes. It is hoped that if any errors are discovered in the list they will be* promptly reported to the secretary so that all mistakes may bo corrected. J. 11. MANLEY, Chairman. BYRON BOYD, Secretary.

At the hour appointed for his de parture a hearse, drawn by a long rnaned black horse, drew un at the college gates, anil the undergraduate took his seat among the nodding plumes. Two friends, clad in black, took up positions on each side of the horse's head, and a crowd of under graduate mourners formed a procession behind the hearse. In this solemn form the cortege wending its way slowly through the Oxford streets toward the station, the crowd of mourners being gradually swelled by hundreds of townsmen and gownsmen alike. At intervals the hap py “deceased” improved the occasion by speeches of fitting solemnity from his "bad eminence.” When the station was reached tin "corpse” was carried shoulder-high to itis train, while hundreds of lusty voices joined in singing "Britons Never Shall Be Slaves" and "Auld Lang Syne." THE AMERICAN FLAG. The History of the National Colors an In teresting One. Philadelphia is; tin- birthplace of the American lias:. In 1775 Benjamin Franklin designed tin* lirst national colors. They consisted cl' tlie present 15 stri.nes surrounding the British "Jack.” This was to sig nif.v that the cotonics had not alto set her renounced their allegiance to tin 1 mother country. The Betsy Boss Hits followed in 1 1770. There has I teen much antiqua rian wigpulling ovt r the story of the Betsy Boss lias, some claiming: tin'll the stars in the Held numbered 11. i others claim that there were but 15. it has been pretty well established, how ever. that at her own suggestion. Betsy l Boss was permitted to make the stars live-pointed, as in distinction from tin usual six points. The distinguishing Hag of the Penn sylvania militia in 1775 was a crude standard bearing the letters 1*. M. B. in a center field of green. In the left of the field is a figure of a man with upraised spear in the act of attacking a lion that has been entangled in a net. The significance f the group is doubtful. .Many scholars believe that the lion typified (Ireat Britain on- I snared by the less powerful but more adroit colonist. Battiesnake (lags abounded in a large variety of designs during the colonial days. They all here the le gend, “Don't Tread on Me." In some cases the snake was cut into 15 sec tions, but it invariably had 15 rattles. The rattlesnake Hag was the first Hag of the revolution. As first lieutenant of the original American flagship "Al fred." commanded by Commodore Hop kins, John Paul Jones in 1776 raised the rattlesnake flag. Two of Jones's orig inal Mags are now in Independence hall. Some time previous to the net of Con gress. June 1777, authorizing the Betsy Boss flag, some patriotic women of Philadelphia gathered in Old Swedes' church and made a dag under the di rection of Commodore John Harry and John Brown, secretary of the Cnited States marine. This flag was similar to the later Betsy Ross flag in all re- speets. which (lie exception of the stars, which were arranged in three rows of four each. Jones hoisted it over the Hanger when he sailed for France in the autumn of 1777. At Quiberon bay he met Admiral Piequet. commanding the French fleet. Jones saluted the French, receiving in return nine guns, the first salute ever received by an American flag from a fon ign power. The national colors of the Cnited States were changed in 17114 to twenty stars and fifteen stripes. Hater on the stars were arranged in a circle, with five outer stars to represent the points of a larger star. The flag of the civil war was 45-starred and contained Un original thirteen stripes. The origin of the American flag will always remain an open question. There is no convincing proof one way or the other whether we borrowed our design from the French, adding the stars as emblems of celestial rectitude, or whether the American flag was taken as a whole from the coat of arms of the Washington family, with the color scheme adopted from France's stan dard. Away back in 1306 the "De Wessing tons" in England claimed as their coat of arms a red shield with an argent liar bearing "three cinquefoilles of ye first.” In 1500 again, the “Weshiyng tons" come out with the same design slightly altered,and described as "three mulcts gules in a fasse sable.” George Washington’s great-great grandfather brought over to America in 1657 tin latest fashion in the family coat of arms—an argent held with "two ban's: and in chief, three mullet gules." Washington was too much of a Re publican to permit the direc-t use of any heraldic design of his own in the national colors, and he never said any thing that could be construed as a de sire on his part to perpetuate his name in that way. But from the fact that In' drew the design for the Betsy Boss flag hiriisclf.and from the close approx imation of (lie design to his family arms, it is not improbable that he adapted one to the other from purely disinterested motives. The American flag has passed through more vicissitudes than the flag of any other nation. It has undergone six al most radical changes from the day of its creation, irrespective of the fre quent additions of stars on the admis sion of new states. For every change in the national colors there has been a war—with Great Britain ill 1776. France in 1798, Tripoli in 1803, Great Britain In 1812, Algiers in 1815, Mexico in 1840 and the Civil War. It is significant of Washington's greatness—the man who really designed the American flag—that When Wash ington died, 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the standards of the French army to he shrouded in crepe for ten days: and in England a fleet of 00 tnen of-war lowered their flags to half-mast. The present war with Spain makes the seventh actual war with a foreign country in which the American flag has been flown, and it has never seen de feat.
