THERE are current rumors, which
we hope are well founded. that the war
in Cuba will ere long come to an end
and that Spain will give up the island.
The financial straits to which the long
war has reduced her, are nearing cri-
ses and unless some relief is speedily
found, the Spanish Government is
hopelessly ruined, and the best way
and only way out of her troubles Is the
abandonment of Cuba, for it is more
and more clear that the insurgents are
well able to keep up the fight for lib
erty. indefinitely, and having the SYM
pathy Of the people of the United
States, they are not likely to run short
of supplies. Pope Leo has recently sent
letter to the Queen Regent Of SPAN
interceding for the Cuban insurgents,
which has done much to increase and
strengthen the..feeling of the European
powers against Spain. Let us hope
that the ruinous warfare will speedily
end.

THE TIMELY RESCUE.
HOW THREE BOYS BECAME FAST
FRIENDS.
IN TWO PARTS.


Scarcely had Joe thrown himself on the
the ground, when dull sound half drown
ed by the roar of the waters, caused him to
spring to his feet "The boat had gone to
pieces against tree" was his first thought
and running to the highest part Of the
bank he peered anxiously among the
trees.
There, surrounded by the high waves
dashed into foam, against the trees with
the undergrowth lashing the muddy tor
rent into fury, he saw his naked compan-
ions-one in the act of-seatiBg himself on
the trunk Of leaning tree, while the other
was struggling nearby to pull himself up
among the branches of o. young button
wood. Shouting and waving his hat to
notify the boys that he saw them, he ran
home for help. The boat was gone, but the
boys must be saved.
He reached home just as his father rode
up. who crossed the creek on bridge some
miles above. Joe related all that had hap
pened, as well as he could in his excite
meflt.
Foolish boysI" said the doctor. eve
can scarcely save them. The river win be
overfowing its banks before night, and
there Is no way as see, of reaching
them"
'Yes, father, they can be reached" an
swered Joe. I'VE can take the wire from
the fences and put it on the well windlass,
and let boat float down to them"
"My son, where is your boat2" asked 4he
doctor. 81 doubt If any boats have been
left along the river"
"At the boat house on Capon Lake, " re-
piled Joe; I can have boat here by four
o'clock, and that viii give rs ample time
to rescue the boys before night comes
| on"
DR.. Mitchell quickly dismounted nd
Joe sprang into the saddle. Taking off his
spurs, he buckled them on Joe's boots.
sNow, my boy" said the doctor, close no
time. Take the Ridge road. Report the sit
uation as you pass through the village Be
careful about fording small streams. Let
Caesar know that he is carrying yen on an
| important mission
Joe spoke to the trusted Caesar, end
touching him with the spurs, the noble
animal sprang forward. He had been
taught the meaning OF those spurs. They
never touched him unless some one needed

A Tour to Washington at Exceeding
ly Low Rates.
Washington is to-day the handsomest
city in America, and nndoubte dly one of
the most beautiful capitals in the world.
That grand monumental building, the Cap
itol, has no counterpart. The new Con-
gressional Library, with Its statues, its bas
reliefs, and its marble halls, is veritable
palace. The great monument, five hun
dred and fifty-five feet high, is the loftiest
memorial shaft in the world, and the Ma
tional Museum has the reputation Of being
the most perfect ln design for the purpose
Of any in existence. In point Of interest 1t
is second only to the famous British Mu-
scum of London. The three day tours Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
arranged to cover all these points of inter-
est, and many more. The tour of this city
is made under the personal escort Of an ex-
perienced tourist agent, and every facility
is afforded for complete visit.
The next tour Of the present series will
leave New York and Philadelphia March
II. Round trip tickets including hotel ac-
commodations and every necessary expense
will be sold at rate of $lA50 from New
York, $1l.5o from Philadelphia, and at pro
portionate rates from other stations. Ap-
