The Spanish government probably
has another revolution or its hands,
the people of the island Of Porto Rico
having taken up arms against Spanish
rule. The information comes through
DR.. J.. Julio Henna, president OF the
Porto Rican revolutionary committee
in New York, who fully confirms the
truth Of dispatches from the island an
%nouncing the beginning of the revolu-
ton. DR.. Henna says the spirit OF the
people in Porto Rico at the present
time is such that their effort to over
throw Spanish rule will necessarily
succeed Spain is evidently in hot
water pretty nearly all around the
globe. and is even threatened with Car
list troubles at home. The young king
is indeed growing to manhood in a tur-
bulent age, knowing not what he may
call his own when he reaches his ma
jority.-Baltfmore Sun.

of Russell and Dockery never ends. 1t
crops out in the independent movement

The statement of the governor that
he really desired a negro physician ap-

The refreshments at an affair for
children should be of the simplest.
Ice-cream and cake, fruit, sherbet
and bon-bons are quite sufficient.
But the small guests can, If prefer

simple supper provided. BouiIox
or clear soup of some variety, sand
witches, cold meat, fruit, sherbet and

The entertainment may consist of
dancing or of old-fashioned gsmes,
which are always popular.
Then there many new ideas which
come in excellently for an occasion
of the kind.
