suonced there, with very comfortable
surroundings. Pursuing his aptitude for
caricature and sensational pamphleteer-
ing, Browne has spotted the mountain
roadsides and woodlands with his pccul-
lar handbills, exhorting the mountain
eers to rally around his standard and
become soldiers in the army Of indus
trial protest and reform.
The simple minded mountain folk, to
whom a few words written or printed
on white paper are as magic, have re-
spondcd aud many Of them have enroll
ed themselves under his command. For
several weeks they have attended regu-
lar drills on one Of the level mountain
benches, where the motley assemblage
Of lank and swarthy mountainccrs, un-
der Brownies pompous leadership, have
been perfecting themselves in tho man
ual Of arms and the movements Of the
| company
A singular thing told in this connec-
| tion is the statement Of the station agent
at Riyerton that Browne few days ago
received 200 stand of arms, with quite
large supply Of ammunition. Whence
| these guns came or for what use they
are to be placed in the hands of Browne &
company Of mountaineers is thus far n
mystery. Some residents Of the commu-
nifty believe that Captain Cullen has Sc
cured these rifles, and it is thought that
when the mountain recruits have been
sufficiently drilled, an effort will be
made to tender their services to the
commander Of the insurgent army in
Cuba. Cullen has sent out large num-
ber of nicely engraved invitations to
people who might be inclined to sympa-
thize with the Cuban cause, soliciting
contributions Of money and firearms,
and some connection is supposed to exist
between this action on his part and
Brownies enlistment Of men. To the
mountaineers, who are at this time Of
the year idle and ready for any kind OF
sport, the adventure is douhly inviting,
and they seem to be getting great deal
Of fun out Of it.
Browne has kept in correspondence
with many OF the famous army that
marched into Washington in May OF
1894 and has sent out to them the same

mountaineers. These notifications assure
the old followers Of Coxey that if they
will come to the Blue Ridge they need
have no concern about rations or place
to sleep, and that a full supply Of arms
and accouterments has been provided
for as many Of them as will return tC
the old cause. So far, it is said, none
of the old followers of Browne and Coxey
has made his appearance. The vel

they look upon Browno's S operations with

vicinity. They are therefore keeping 9
close watch on Browne operations, anC

regard to the present whereabouts and
operations Of Carl Browne, who became
conspicuous as the aid and son-in-law Of
Coxey. the labor agitator. After marry
ing Coxey's daughter and making his
home for several weeks in Washington,
where his huge figure, clad in deerskin
garments, became familiar street
sight, Browne betook himself TO Vir-
ginia, and, it is said, became the bosom
comrade and confldant Of Captain o. g..
Cullen. On the mountain farm where
Cullen built his hotel are several old
abandoned log houses, nearly fallen to
the ground. In one Of these Browne has
made his home, and, according to the

The Cuban Rebellion.


Cuba is again gravely disturbed. An
insurrection, in some respects more active
than the last preceding revolt which con-
tinued from 1868 to 1875 now exists in
large part of the eastern interior Of the
island menaoing even some populations
on the coast. Besides deranging the com
mercial exchanges Of the island, of which
our country takes the predominant share,
this lagrant condition of hOstilities, by
arousing sentimental sympathy and incit-
ing adventurous support among our peo-
pie, has entailed earnest effort on the part
Of this government to enforce obedience
to our neutrality laws and to prevent the
territory Of the United States from being
abused as a vantage ground from which
to aid those in arms against Spanish SOW
ereignty.
Whatever may be the traditional sym
pathy of our oountrylnen as individuals
with people who seem to be struggling
for larger autonomy and greater freedom,
deepened as such sympathy naturally
must be in behalf of our neighbors yet
the plain duty of their government is to
observe i'm good faith the recognized obli-
cations of international relationship The
performance of this duty should not be
made moro difficult by a disregard on the
part of our citizens of the obligations
growing out of their allegiance to their
country which should restrain them from
violating as individuals the neutrality
which the nation of which they are men,
bers is bound to observe in its relations TO
friendly sovereign states.
The Armenian Massaoress
Occurrences in Turkey have continued
to excite concern. The reported massa-
cres of Christians in Armenia and the de
velopment there and in other districts OF
a spirit of fanatic hostility to Christian
influences naturally excited apprehension
for the safety of the devoted men and
women who, as dependents of the foreign
missionary societies in the United States,
reside in Turkey under the guarantee OF
law and usage and in the legitimate per
fOrmance OF their educational and reli
giOus mission.

THE SHIRT WAIST.

When in the future days of prosperity
we shu9deringiy recall the recent period
of financial unrest with its distressing

ments, there will always shine out in that
somber picture of the past .he cffuigent
glory attached to the establishment as an
American institution of the shirt waist.
Originally conceived as a condescension
money market, and ushered in with al
most an apology, 1t has entwined itself

While woman has been gratified by its

part of man there has been an absolute
equalization to its daintiness, beauty and

Mr.. Gladstone's recent address at Ches-
ter on the Armenian outrages was char
acterized by the same matchless oratory
with which he called the attention of the
world TO the atrocities in the Balkan
peninsular. The grand old man has al
ways been a good deal of humanitarian.
at least in theory, and when 1t comes TO
defending the oppressed there have been
few men who could make stronger and
more stirring appeal TO the sympathies OF
an enlightened people.
Mr. Gladstone charges the Turk with
having overthrown peace in Armenia,
and he would have justice ordained there
even ifehe cost be millions and the result
the annIhiation OF the sultan's power in
Europe. This is all very fine. but rather
