and in spite of the efforts Of the
surgeons in attendance, and of the
ships surgeon, the prince died at
8 O'Clock yesterday morning. The
Blonde then returned to Sierra
Leone, on the west coast of Africa,
from which place the news was
cabled to the admiralty. The first
lord of the admiralty, Hon. Geo.
G. Goshen, after consulting with
the queen, has given instructions
that the Blonde be ordered to
bring the remains of the prince to
England. The greatest sorrow is
manifested throughout the Isle of
Wight at the death of Prince Hen
ry, and the flags are everywhere at
half-mast. Prince Henry was the
third son of Prince Alexander of
Battenberg, and his uncle was
Ludwig ", grand duke of Hesse.
He married Princess Beatrice, the

toria, in 1885. They have four
children. He was governor of the
Isle of Wight, and also OF Carts

is hoped the reverses which the

Reports to That Effect and General
Denunciation.
TAMPA, via Trilby, Fla, Jan. %.
The correspondent of the New
York World here received news
from that paper to the effect that
Spain had sold Cuba to England.
The news has created a great sensa-
ton among the Cubans of this
place, many of whom credit the re-
port.
A number of prominent Cubans
here have declared that such step
on the part OF Spain and England
had been feared, and that compli-
cations OF the most serious nature
were sure to follow. Spanish Con.
sui Consollia, of Tampa, is said to
have received cables regarding
the matter, but refused to disclose
the contents. Four hundred men,
bers Of the National Editorial asso-
Citations were informed of the
rumor as they boarded the train
for st. Augustine, and in a chorus
shouted for Cuban belligerency.
The southern contingent was par
ticularly enthusiastic, and the
rebel yell and Yankee cry resound-
ed from coach to coach as the train
speeded along. j. w. Buchanan,
editor OF the Grenada Miss Sem
tinel will introduce in the conven.
ton today, strong resolution
favoring belligerency, and it will
doubtless pass unanimously. Buch,
anan has consulted with over q
hundred members and all indore
the resolution.

To most aople comfort. convenience

and we'll paved streets seem to furnish.
But while these are unquestionably ad-
vantages worthy Of appreciation, there
are other far moro important reasons
why street construction and paving
should occupy the closest attention of
enlightened communities and why sci
ence and capital should be expended in
a wise effort ro produce the very best
and most advanced results. For it is
conceded by the city governments of all
the great centers, whose duty it is to
make an exhaustive study of the sub
ject, and hy the political economist, the

ness that good and scientific street CON
struction means not only the comfort,
but tine wealth and success of that city,

that canning factories can be started III

ing plan for securing the necessary cap
ital The suggestion is q good one, and
there are plenty Of reliable business
men in every community who could or
ganize company on the proposed plan.
AS the truck farmers, etc, would be
interested, why can't some good man
get up company OF, say, 1000 shares
of $40 each, payable in installments of
81 per month, and get those that will
be interested into it2 The truck farmers
could sell all their surplus tomatoes and
other vegetables to the canning factory
when the markets are glntted There
would not be any trouble in placing
| 900 shares CT stock payable in install
ments, as there are plenty of people
that would subscribe to enterprises of
this kind OH that plan, but who are I'M
able to pay $25, $50 or 500 down III a
lump, and it will be found that there
are plenty of Iaboring men that would
subscribe for one or more shares. All
the people want to know is that there
are good, reliable business men at the
head of it.

Public Libraries.

The most important step in behalf of
the country town is perhaps the estab-
lishment of the public library. 1t should
have books for serious study and for
light reading; it should have aroom for
exhibitions, lectures and concerts, and
another for children. More than all, it
should have conversation room with
an open fireplace. 1t is rare New Eng
land town which is not the birthplace
of some man wealthy enough and will
ing (if properly approached) to give
such library building.
From the library the young people
will draw material for live debating
society, the older people material for
literary and art clubs. There is nothing
discussed in Paris, London, New York
or Boston which the smallest public
library may not know about in a fort
night. New England Magazine.

The Way to Build a Trade.

If you want to build business
Do it in the proper way
Start it we'll with advertising
That is sure to make it pay.
Let your goods be always honest,
Prices low as can be made,
Always working, always hustling-
That's the way to build trade.
Do not think when you're well started
In the race for fame and pef
That you can neglect the business,
For it will not run itself.
You must watch it, nurse it, tend it.
Giving it your constant aid.
Perseverance brings successes.
That's the way to keep trade.
All the arts of clever mortal
Or OF Solomon the wise
Can't sustain modern business
If you do not advertise.
Change your ad. and change it daily,
Have it of attractive grade,
And you may be always certain
OF possessing big trade.

SCHOLARSHIP is valuable only when
it's talents are used for noble purposes.
Educating the faculties for the mere
pageantry of knowledge and the polish
it gives manners, subordinates lntelll'
gence to egotism and love of soft
pleasures. The object of mental train
ing is to equip the intellectual powers
for active pursuits and broaden the
mind for determining the relation OF
self-interest and the duties owed to
others. Misdirected genius is a great

THE fatuous defiance of the laws OF
health that characterizes the morbid
mixture of ignorance, superstition and
criminal negligence embodied in the
creed of the Christian Scientist was
exempliied by the recent refusal of a
Chicago adherent to this so-called
faith to permit his dying son the use
of the commonest necessaries of the
sick. The timely interference of the
officers of the humane society pre-
vented the crime of filicide by failing
the misguided parent. The safety Of
health, life and regard for the axiom:
of common sense demands the adop

out this sect, whose dangerous incanta
