The present is the point OF issue be-
tween The United States and Spain, rs
stated in non-oficial, but usually we'll
informed circles, and is as follows : The
United States asks, first, that in future
all American citizens in Cuba accused OF
the law, shall be held by the
civil courts and not by military trlbu-
nails, with all the rights in such cases AS
are secured by the 9TH article of the
treaty of 1875 and second, that all SEN
fences where American citizens have
heretofore been tried by military trbu-
nails shall be annulied. Spain agrees TO
the claim of the first PROPOSE
ton, agreeing in future American citi-
zens accused of the violation OF the law
shall be tried by the ordinary tribunals,
with the right to be heard BY counsel,
TO summon witnesses and employ all
other necessary safe guards to the ac-
cused; but with the reservation that all
such trials shall be according 10 Inc Ia"
of 1921, which provides more expedite
Gus proceedings than those Of civil courts
for common crimes in time Of peace.
She also offers to revise all sentences
passed by court-martial on our citizens,
where it shall be satisfactorily shown
thai snch sentences were in violation Of
established laws. This reply is unsatis-
factory TO the United States, which
takes the ground that American citizens
accused OF crimes cannot be tried by
court martial, but are entitled TO trial
by the civil tribunals only As secured by
treaty stipulation, with snch reservation
as is proposed by Spain.

Some of the buildings on the opposite
street from the fire were
pretty wei nbandagedx,tb wet blank

We don't know that we over saw bet

who did Distinguishing servicc at this.
Burning shingjk and particles of
wood assembled kigh into the air, and
then came dYkn on ncighboriDg build

promptly manned and the fire brands
as promptly extinguished.
There are many speculations as to the
origin :cf the fire. Fifteen minutes be-
fore the fire broke out in Huebner's sta
BILE, fire was discovered in the rear OF
A. NJ. Campbell & Co.'S store, near the
cellar windows, outside. The fire had
started in pile of rubbish, and had
evidently been set out by some maiic-
iouly disposed individual. That lrcen-
diaries had been at work was the gener-
al opinion at first. But owing to the
early hour of the evening when the fires
started, and when cverybody was abroad,
this opinion has been partially dlssipat-
ed. a discarded cigar or carelesSly
managed pipe Of tobacco may have
caused all this damsge.
FURTHER ITEMS CONCERNING THE FIRE.
We find that three parties, residents
Ottawa county, suffered quite severely
by tho fire. They had put up their
teams for the night at Huebner's barn.

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pell-
cts are SO compounded from concen-
trated principles, extracted from roots
and herbs, as 10 combine in each small
granule, scarcely larger than mustard
seed, as much cathartic power as is con-
tanned in any larger pills for sale in
drugstores. They are not only pleasant
to take, but their operation is easy -
unattended with any gripping pain. They
operate without producing any constitu-
tionaldisturbance. Unlike other cathar-
tics, they do not render the bowels costive
after operation, but, on the contrary,
they establish permanently healthy
action. Being entirely regetable. no par
ticulsr care Is required while using
them.
$500 REGARD is offered by the ProPrie-
tor 10 any one who will detect in these
Pellets any calomel or other form OF
mercury, mineral poison, or injurious
drug.
They are cold by Druggists.

About Steel Peas.

Few persons doubtless are aware OF
the fact that the original inventor OF
steel pens is still living. Sir Josiah Ma
son, now the pront r-~ --""n"t""tnrer NJ
Birmingham, England, enjoys that dis
tinction. He is now very old, being
above eighty. 1t is in his grea. factory
that several Of the most popular OF the
widely famed Spencerian Double Elias
tic Steel Pens are made, the models be-
ing supplied by the proprietors CT the
pens, Messrs. Evison, Brakeman, Taylor
& Co., the educational publishers Of
New York. The Spencerian Pens have
attained their great popularity for va
rie,y of reasons, all of which will be ap-
parent 10 any one who may try them.
OF one number alone more than SIX
millions were sold last year. We use
them in our Office, and are so well pleased
with them that we have no hesitation IN
saying that they are, IN our OPINION,
superior to any other article OF the KIND
with which we are acquainted. Their
chief characteristics seem TO be flcXlblli-
ty, elasticity, durability and evennesS OF
point, and Il nearer approximation 10
the real quill action than,has been here
toforc attained in a steel pen. The
Spenceran are comprised in fifteen
numbers all differing in hexibiIlty and
tincness of point, and for the convent
ence Of those who wish to Try them,
Mcssrs. Evison, Brakeman, Taylor q
Co., 1873 aud l40 Grand Street, Ne"
York, will send by mail Il sample caro-
securely enclosed, containing one each
of the different numbers, on receipt OF
twenty-five cents.

Herbalistic Remedies.

In former days, if member of the
household became indisposed, the family
head, under instructions from the gray
haired dame, went to the forest or the

the patient safely around, and saw the
family gathering once more without O.

A Good Thing.

A Russian naval officer has invented a
means of quickly stopping holes made
in ships by collision or otherwise. His
continuance consists of "plaster," as
he calls it, made of two rectangular
sheets of canvas sewed together, bor-
dered with rope, and containing q water
proof material. A sounding line must
be passed under the keel and brought up
on the other side, then the plaster can
be lowered to the hole and made fast. A
large number of ships in the Russian
navy are now furnished with this an
paratus, some of which have already
availed themselves of it with highly sat
isfactory results. 1t is now proposed to
put certain number of the men en-
ployed on each ship through course of
special training, 80 that they may be
ready, in an emergency, to apply the
apparatus with skill and rapidity.

wavy hair features prominent and hand
some with pair of eyes like stars He
was radical man-radical in his friend
ship, In his religion, in his politics, and
especially radical upon the subject of
temperance. He was one of your posi-
tive men, acting always upon convic-
ton.
The doctor was also a dear lover of
true, manly and healthful recreation. OF
good horses he was an ardent admirer.
and his team was hard to beat.
The temperance men of Lewiston were
pushing things, and the doctor pushed
with them. In fact, he rather took the
lead. A large number of surreptitious
venders of the ardent were brought up
and punished, and the disguised suffer
ers swore vengeance. Particularly did
they swear vengeance against the fair
haired, silver-tongued doctor.
The doctors Office was in Lewiston,
and his dwelling over upon the other
side of the river in Auburn. One eve
ming, little later than usual, he started
for home on foot. 1t was dark when he
reached the bridge. Upon the Auburn
side he was confronted by two men who
had evidently been lying in wait for him.
They were stout, burly men, coarsely
dressed, and very coarse of speech. BY
the light of neighboring street-lamp
the doctor recognized one of them as
the keeper of a low groggery which
had lately been cleaned out with his
help.
The men were not utterly brutes.
They gave their victim n chance. They
told him, honestly, that they were going
to lick him within an inch of his life.
And thereupon they squared of.
Gail right" said he, when the ruffians
had announced their. purpose. And with
the quickness of lightning, and with
about the same effect, he delivered q
blow of his fist directly between the eyes
OF the foremost aggressor. Aggressor
number two got the same dose instanter.
AS aggressor number one got upon his
feet, second blow leveled him again.
And just 80 with number two.
'tCome, come" cried the doctor.
Hurry up. I can't wait here all
night"
Aggressor number one raised himself
upon his elbow, and wiped the blood
from his nose.
"You needn't wait, doctor. We're
satisfied if you are." And, with an oath,
he added something about ga trump"
and about the David that slew Goliah.
The doctor, thus dismissed, wended
his way homeward, hrmming confer
ence meeting hymn. I never heard of
his being molested again.
