Hatch, the mother of Clyde Mat
tox, who secured a Communication
of his sentence from President
Cleveland, is still laboring for a
pardon for her wayward son.
Mrs Hatch has made her home

Mrs. Hatch spent a fortune
keeping her son from the gal

tiles in Leavenworth when she
was there last week that she
hopes soon to secure a pardon

The Ks.pon.IslItls. Of DruEEl.t.-

A discussion having arisen ON the
responsibilities Of druggists, an emf
nent jurist was called upon 20 an
swer the following question: IF n
druggist who is ignorant of the
business, merely furnishing the
capital and paying the help, sees fit
to employ a cheap dispensing clerk,
and mistakes are made with fatal
results, who is responsible"
The jurist unqualifiedly decided
that the employer alone was respon-
sible- The old rule, "Obey orders II
you break owners" obtains very
strongly in anything appertaining
TO pharmaceutical transactions. The
druggists clerk Limply fills an order.
He does what ho is told TO do and
has no right to alter or modify the
prescriptions Therefore, IL he is in
competent the employer is the per.
son TO be held accountable. New

then turn to the ARDMOREITE

SECRETS OF FRIENDSHIP

that sometimes nlpS the tongue,
and Major Mckinley is getting
his fill of it just now.
This remark is not prompted
solely by the fact that the name
of friendship is being profaned
by legions of oficeseekers who
besiege him on every side and
haunt his ho' e, but by the fact
that Mark Hanna is engaged in
stopping over at banquets about
his friend Mckinley and is tell
ing what he did for Mack and
the mutual condolences in which
they have indpl.a
Brother HahLa told his Cleve-
land entainers Il about his un-
dying devotion to his chief, and
how after two years of still
hunting and open hunting and
scheming and sweating he won
the prize and laid it with we'll
ing heart at McKinley's feet.
The big boss fairly boiled over
with the oil of friendship when
he told how Mckinley had Civ
en- him Presidential inspiration
and had placed future and hon
or in his hands, of how the Ma
poleon had said: Mark, l
trust you with my future"; and
then supplemented the trust
with the warning: Mark, there
are some things / will not do to
be president of the United
States, and | leave my honor in
your hands"
Mr.. Hanna said that this
qualification convinced him of
the nobility of his friend and he
resolved to see the hero through.
He said he brought back Nc
Kinley's honor unsullied, after
his successful quest. In other
words, Mr.. Hanna got the pres
idency, but there were some
things he did not do to get it.
1t would be interesting tC
know what these some things
were. The question is the more
interesting because in a review
of the months of ''still hunt
for the nomination, of the weel
of trapping in St. Louis and the
several months of boodlinl
: during the campaign, the i'm
agination grows weary trying t
divine what Mark refrained from
doing.
1t is interesting also to not
that the compact between Mari
and Mack to capture the presi
dency was made two years ago
The accusation has been brough
4 against Bryan by republican
T organs that he began a montl
, or so before the Chieag,
4 convention to work for hi
: nomination, as if the ambition
Y were discreditable. What d
/ they think of a "still hunt" eS
E tending over two years and
: compact that far in advanc
j, with a commissioned agentl
e Boss Hanna is fruity. Their
: is hope that we shall get it a
y in time if the banquets keep NJ
it He may tell what he did wit
+! it and what the some thing
S that would sully the honor of
u presidential candidate are. II
II may give a definition of homo,
But when Major McKinle
prays to be delivered from hi
: friends he ought to sacrifC
Il Mark Hanna, now that the bos.
! mission is over and in h
9 exuberant JOY he is tellin
/ about It.-Republic.

POLK WELLS.

Legislature WIN Probably Grant him a
Pardon.
DEs MONIES, March 2.-The commit
tee on pardons in both branches have
unanimously recommended a pardon
be granted Polk Wells one of the most.
notorious criminals in Iowa history
and member of the James gang.
Attorney Stewart, of Fort Madison,
has been here since the legislature first
opened, working for Wells. No Grim
inal ia the state ever received as much
newspaper comment as he has. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary in
1880 for eight years for robbery of a
bank in Mills county. Hewas captured
at Randolph, Wisconsin, and shot two
men while resisting arrest. In 1881,
with two other prisoners. he admin
istered chloroform to guard, who
died from its effect He was tried and
sentenced for life and has been in the
penitentiary sixteen years. His two
accomplices have since been pardoned.
Wells claims one of them claimed to be
acquainted with the use of chloroform
and that this was what induced him to
aid in administering it. The past two
years he has professed religion, and
this has had much to do with his
petition fer pardon. He has been an
exemplary prisoner and his health is
said to be broken down.

INSULTS FROM SPAIN.
A Mob of Inruriated Spaniards Attach
the United States Consulate.


the United States Consulate.
BARCELONA, Spain, March 2.-The
| lever of indignation and hate against
| The United States, which seems to have
taken possession of the heart OF all
| spain, over the action of the United
| States in recognizing the provisional
| government of Cuba as belligerents,
md in calling upon President Cleveland
to use his good offices with Spain ia
secure the independence of Cuba, cul-
minated in violent scenes and an
attack upon the United States
consulate. A meeting had been held
to protest against the action of the
United States senate and $4,000 were
present. After becoming fred with
patriotism, a large crowd marched upon
the United States consulate, shouting
Long live Spain" and "Down with
the Yankees. Finally stones We're
hurled at the building and a number
Of windows were broken. The police
then charged the mob and they dis,
persod. They made their way to the
prefecture of police and newspaper
offices and after listening tomore fiery
speeches they tore up a number OF
United States flags which they had
purchased. They were cheered by the
popnlace wherever they went.
WASHINGTON, March "a cablegram
received from United States Minister
Taylor at Madrid says the Spanish
minister of state expressed deep re-
greet at the Barcelona affair and offered
4 complete reparation. The dispatch
added that measures were taken for
the protection of the United States
legation. This act viii doubtless tend
to greatly relieve the situation and
prevent d serions outcome of the MODS
attack on our consulate at Barcelona.
MADRID, March 3.--It is significant
that the minister of marine has issued
orders for the training squadrons to
be prepared to sail. 1t is regarded as
probable that this squadron will
proceed shortly to Cuba. 1t has also
been ordered that all other warships
available be forthwith armed and
equipped and put in condition for
active service In addition TO this,
about fifty merchant steamers, avail
able for the government service, will
be provided with naval ornaments.
For the military branch Of the service
a fresh expedition of 10000 infantry
and 5000 cavalry will be equipped and
put on war footing and will be kept in
readiness to leave on the shortest
notice. In view of the excited state of
the public mind, the United States
legation in this city has been placed
under the special surveillance of the

THREE THOUSAND KILLED.
italian Forces Meet Crushing Defeat in
Abyssinia.

ROME, March 4. News from Masso-
wah of the crushing defeat of the
Italian forces under General Baraticri
in Abyssinia, has created great excite
ment throughout Italy. Details Of the
battle show that the Italians were
defeated with loss of 5000 killed,
including Generals Dabormima and
Albertone. The fight lasted the entire
day. General Barateri, wish the
wounded, General Ellena and his forces
and those under General Arimondi,
have returned to Adecaje, 100 lSilo-
metres from Adowa. The government
has called out the entire reserves of
1872.
ROME, March 5.--Advices from
Abyssinia indicate that the loss sus-
tanned by theItalian forces was greater
than first reported. At least 5000
We're killed and the troops retreated
fifty miles. 1t is feared later reports
will show a worse condition, Rioting
and public indignation against the
ministry is in evidence all over Italy,
and it is feared more trouble will ensue
when the $4,000 reserves of 1872, which
have been ordered out, muster in large
bodies. The ministry is about to
resign rather than face the crisis.

ARBITRATION.
Meeting to That End Held in London
Passes Resolutions.


LONDON, March 5.--At n demonstra-
ton ut Queens Hall in favor of per-
manent arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain, much enthu-
siasm was occasioned when the girls
who were to sing in the choir trooped
upon the stage III patches, which We're
arrayed alternately in sashes formed
of the Union Jack and of the Stars and
Stripes, until a complete blending of
the flags of the two countries was
effected, intended to be symbolic of
international harmony, which the pro-
motors of the meeting are seeking to
establish. After the opening Of the
meeting, letters wereread of sympathy
with its purpose from Mr.. A. j. Balfour,
first lord of the treasury; Mr.. Glad
stone, Mr.. Henry Norman, who went
to Washington on behalf of the
Chronicle at the time the Venezuelan
question was at its acute phase, and
who wrote strongly from there in
behalf of international arbitration, and
many others. Mr.. Shaw-Lefevre moved
resolution instructing the chairman
to sign a memorial on behalf of the
meeting to President Cleveland, the
Marquis of Salisbury and Mr.. Balfour,
urging that the time was opportune to
conclude a treaty of arbitration. He
urged the arbitration of the Venezuelan
question without any reservation
whatever. The Bishop of Rochester
seconded this motion and lit was carried
by reclamation. The Right Hon. A. j.
Mundel advocated the formation of a
great Anglo-Ameriean association to
promote the movement and to per-
petuate the principle by means of a
permanent standing committee on both
sides of the Atlantic. This motion was
carried unanimously and the meeting
terminated with the sin ing of the
national anthem
