An Army In Hospitals.
From the Buffalo Commercial.

The question is. how much longer can
Spain afford to hold on to Cuba. Gen
Blancos report to the home government
shows that of 1872 900 soldiers of the regu-
lar army sent to Gen. Weyler, only 81 OO(

are to be found 10000, thus leaving 63 OOt
who have persisted of wounds or disease
when we remember" says the New York
Evening Post. that this appalling loss OF
life has been suffered by an army which
has never fought pitched battle worthy
of the name. in a struggle with an enemy
who probably never mustered more than
10000 rifles in any one place, we get an idea
of the stupendous task which confronted
Spain in the suppression of the Cuban re-
belhon." 1t is marvellous that Spain has
hung on SO long, and that she has moi
found out, as Great Britain did that IL IL

Unrewnrded Energy

He worries over how the state
Will go the next election;
And over all the evils great
That clamor for correction
He worries DER earth'S wicked Wiles
And whittier we are drifting;
He worries Ger the silly styles
That fashion still keeps shifting.
He worries DER the power of pelf
Neglecting other labors;
Both night and day he grieves himself
And likewise grieves his neighbors.
Yet hope still cheers this mortal plan,
And through the dismal furry
Improvement shines, save in the man
Who's foreordained to worry.
And when peace comes at last the throne
VIII thank, amid it's thriving,
The silent ones who trudged along
Content with merely striving

lis there any danger Of England beinf

was recently put to General Wolselcy. Hi
reply was as follows:
mot SO long ago we were within meas
urable distance of war with France
Such war, believe me, would not he onl,
naval. A country which has such co
lossal army as France would certainly wisl
to use it, Invasion, attempted or accom-
plished, would have to be one of the mill
tary contingencies to be considered by us
OF course we rely upon our fleet for pre-
venting descent.
"Tho navy Is our first line, but ther'
are some who think-I do not say I an
one of thcm-that our navy IL not SO i'm

San Francisco. Feb. 22.-For two years
past the natives on the islands OF Raiate
and Taha, dependencies Of the Tahiti
government, have refused to recognize
French authority. News from Tahiti
Is that on Dec. 26 last, Governor Gallet
left Papete on board the French cor
vette Duguay Trouan, with the trans
port Aube, to punish the people. A
force of Tahitian volunteers, marine in
fantry from New Caledonia and Papete,
with sailors from the warships, were the
combatants. The bombardment OF
Taha village was effected by the war
ships. and on Jan. 3 a fight took place
at the village Of Tevaitoa, where the
natives made gallant fight against
the 700 French troops. They suffered
defeat and had IL killed and five wound
ed. According to the official narrative
the victory will suffice to produce an ex.
cellent effect upon these rebellious
natives who are charged. among other
crimes. with having an English flag In
their possession.

Showing the Difference Between Begin
ming the Right and Wrong Way.
About the year 1870 two suburban spec
ulations were begun in the neighborhood
of Chicago. Ono district was situated nine
miles from the town, the other six. But
both were on the same railway and land
In each was worth from 500 to $500 an
acre. The managers Of one district laid
out their plan in what was then the usual
way. They made streets Of prairie soil
with neat open bitches on each side, and
they left proper spaces for sidewalks, alone
which trees were planted. They hit upon
a good name, issued Autographs and al.
vertised-with no very profitable results.
Tho managers Of the other district bor
rowed large sum Of money at high rate
of interest. With this they underlaid the
land with several miles Of drainage pipe
then built macadamized roads with paved
cutters, iron gratings, concrete sidewalks
and broad borders frequently spreading in
to little green's and commons planted pic
turesquely. All the natural wood and the
banks of the stream which passed the place
were made public property, and shelters,
seats, bathing and boat houses were pro.
vided upon 1t. An artesian well was sunk,
and with steam pump water was sent to
all parts Of the property. Before these in.
provements were nearly complete the own.
ers began selling land upon the roads nj
e20 the front foot, and soon afterward ad
vanced the price to $50, and then gas wal
introduced. The price Of land rose, ever

COURT CENTRAL, F. OF A.


Sucosssful Open Meeting Held Yesterday
Afternoon I'm Edgerten's Block.
Some little time ago the charters Of all
the courts OF the Foresters' order in this
vicinity were opened by of the State board
of officers. That is to say anyone wish
ing to join any of the courts could do so
by paying the regular charter fee. AS an
added inducement the various courts, par
ticularly Court Central, have been holding
what Is termed open meetings.
In this manner they brought before the
young men the social side of the order.
AS rule in about all societies the same old
routine Of business goes on from one end
of the year to the other, and to dispel this
idea the excellent meetings have been ar
ranged. Court Central has held quite a
number in the past, but it remained for
the meeting yesterday to suppass all prevI-
Gus efforts, not alone in point of talent
participating, but in point of enthusiasm
and attendance, both of members and their
friends.
Edgertons Hall was engaged for the
meeting yesterday, and at precisely at
o'clock the meeting was called to order
by p. c., M. j. German. The program
consisted of vocal selections and remarks
by members and invited quests. The fol-
lowing gentlemen rendered pleasing vocal
selections: w. Forestal, f. Dugan, p.
Quinlan, DIR. f. A. Kennedy; recitations,
P. Dugan; remarks, j. F. Kelly; solos, M.
Brobrian, j. H. Bannon, J. Hude, j. Nc

enjoyed delicious collation..
