universe-a sort of modern edition OF
the revised statutes of the Modes and
Persian-are in a state bordering on
distraction because of several serious
infractions of that etiquette which have
of late occurred in Washington. The
first of these awful and woe inspiring
catastrophes occurred when Assistant
Secretary Uhl-it's now pronounced like
the Indians "ugh" by the mourners In
the diplomatic circle-so far forgot his
kindergarten lessons in diplomacy as to
receive, while he was acting, during
Secretary Gresham's illness, head OF the
Department Of State, II personal visit
from the first Secretary Of the Italian
embassy, and to allow that tunctionary
to call attention to the murder of ltal-
ians in Colorado and to ask verbally
that this government exercise Its author
ity to protect those still living, and to
have the murdererstried. This was pro,
nounced-in the limited circle above
referred to-a deliberate insult to the
United States, and before the pronoun'
cling was we'll oyer with, the Italian
Ambassador insulted Uncle Sam again
by communicating directly with the
Colorado S. ate authorities, instead OF
through the Department Of State. The
aforesaid mourners cite numerous cases
in which European nations have given
foreign ministers their passports tor
much lesser offences than these, land won
der what he administration will DO
about it. Other people laugh, and call
it "lempest in teapot"
Another shock was given the diplo-
matte circle and it's social outskirts by
Senior Muruaga, the Spanish minister's
newspaper criticism Of Secretary Ores
hams spirited demand that the Spanish
government apologize and take imme-
date steps that will prevent recur-
renee of incidents like the firing on the
U. S. mail steamer AlIlanca by Span
ish guuboat, but as this did not inyolye
any insult for Uncle Sam it was merely
regarded as "bad break" on the part
of Senior Muruaga. Asa matter of fact
it was the most serious Of the diplomatic
occurrences of the week, and if Mnrua
ga was correctly reported he ought te
be sent home in short order.

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money,and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiycs an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Untor.
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way Of improving upon, and 1t is these Kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REG ULAR CoRpEsroNDEN1

FROM OUR REG ULAR CORPESroNDENT,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 18th, 1895.
Is the acquisition of Cuba by the
United States desirable :? This IS very
old question which has been revived by
by the happenings of the last few days.
There was a time when the United
States offered Spain $l00,0O0,00O for
Cuba, and Spain declined to even con-
slider the offer. There are men who
advocate its acquisition by force, not by
purchase but there is no reason to be-
lieve that Secretary Gresham is one of
them, although his hasty demand on
account Of the firing at the U. S. mail
steamer Alliance by Spanish gunboat,
if made upon country more equal in
fighting strength to the United States
would put him under suspicion, 1t
would be useless for him to try to pro-
woke war with Spain. Nations are
like individuals. They prefer humlia-
ton without thrashing to humiliation
and the thrashing too. But that doesn' t
answer the above question. When the
United States offered to buy Cuba it
was with the intention of making it one
vast slave plantation. Conditions haye
changed. From what is known of the
present population Of Cuba they have
little that would make them desirable
as citizens, and much that makes them
the reverse, however desirable posses
sion the island itself might me. Just
keep that question in mind; it may
become very live one in American
politics in the near future.
Secretary Herbert has after mature
consideration confirmed the eleventh.
hour nominations of naval cadets made
by sixteen Congressman on the last day
they held office, but there are several
other nominations made by Congress-
men on March 4, in which the papers
did not reach Secretary Herbert until
afternoon at which hour the men who
made them ceased to be congressman.
These will probably be turned down by
the Secretary. This whole business is
regarded by the Congressman elect from
the districts directly interested, and by
other people, too, as a bit Of sharp prac-
tice on the part Of the retiring Congress.
men. Under the usual procedure the
vacancies at the Naval Academy would
be filled by the members of the Fifty
fourth Congress, but some oyershrewd
fellow discovered that there was way
by which this pay could be gathered and
proceeded to put it into effect, by getting
an amendment tackled to the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill authorizing the
immediate filling ofall vacancies. That
bill was not signed until the morning
of March 4. Then there was rush to
get nominations Tor the vacancies filed
before noon. Sixteen succeeded.

A Shocking Accident.

This community was Mortified at the
sudden and awful intelligence that
came to them about noon on last
Thursday, making known the sad fact
that Mr.. G. X. Harvey had been added
to that fateful list of the many-"kill-
ed by the train" He had been a mer-
chant here for years; but also served
as lineman for the telegraph company
and was trusted, beyond all cavil, by
his employers. On the day mentioned
he set out on his railroad velocipede
to make "his last trip" having sent in
his resignation to the company; and it
proved indeed his last earthly journey,
for when rounding the curve near
Hartman's switch, 3 miles below
Brookhaven, the heavy freight that
passes here near II a. M, bore down
upon him and before he was aware
threw him against the bank where in a
few seconds the Mortified engineer
leaping from his post, found that life
had fed and that his neck and back
had been broken He might have saved
himself, but in his last effort to re-
move his Car, probably thinking to
save others, he lost his own life.
Sympathetic friends, with palpitat-
ing hearts, bore him gently to the home
he had left so shortly before, strong
and well, and there,-where sorrow
in all the blackness of despair reigned
supreme in hearts so devoted and SC
awfully bereaved, we draw the veil
with the sacred cord of love, believed
with the tears of sympathy of thou
sand friends; and where the shadows
fall heaviest, and where the light OF
the Christians hope beams brightest
we leave the mourners' at His feet.
On Friday evening at o'clock the
funeral services were held at the fam
lily residence, where Rev. A. F. Wat
kins ministered in kindly and eloquent
words to the broken hearted wife
daughter and two sons left to mourn
the departed.
After the services at the residence
the body was taken in charge by the
Masonic fraternity, of which Mr.. Har
vey was loved and honored member
and the last sad rites performed at the
cemetery according to the burial ser
vice of that ancient order.
