SULTAN BECOMES. ACTIVE. London, April 5.-The CoRstantinople
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-05-20

There is a good deal going on be-
hind the scenes at Washington as TO
this whole Cuban business and 1t may
be little premature to criticise a
work not yet done. If it is true that
the president is of the opinion that the
legislative branch of the government
Congress, the peoples representatives
should take the initiative and that he
is waiting for that, then the country
is ready to stand back in its criticisms
upon him and saddle the responsibility
UPON Congress. Certain it is that
there is a deep feeling pervading the
whole American people that the time
for active interposition in behalf OF
Cuba has come. The people will be
behind any action the government in
structed by Congress takes and will
accept the responsibility and the re-
suits. No one wants a war with
Spain, but every one wants the butch
cry in that island to come to a perpet-
uaI end and the destruction of proper
ty as well. This wish dominates the
whole people.

ryr women VINO Worry.

1t is trite advice to tell women to take
every day as it comes, to avoid remorse
over what is done, and forebodings over
what is to come, but it is no less val
liable advice. Nervous prostration is
seldom the result of present trouble o.
work, but of work and trouble antici-
pated. Mental exhaustion comes to
those who look ahead and climb noun
tains before they arrive at them. Reso-
lutely build wall about to-day and live.
within the Enclosure; the past may have
been hard, sad, or wrong-it is over.
The future may be like the past, but
the woman who worries about it may
not live to meet tiff she does she will
bear it, The only thing with which she
should concern herself is to-day, it's sun
shine, its air, its friends, its frolics, its
wholesome work, and, perhaps, its nee
essary sorrow.-Chicago Tribune.

Review of the Trade Conditions Dur
ing the Past Week.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May 20.-The
Northwestern Miller gives the flour
market as follows:
Minneapolis-Theo output this week
with Is mills running is estimated at
250,000 barrels. The flour sales of
Minneapolis mills Appropriated 1885,
barrels against 255,O00 the preceding
week The business done, as in the
past, was chiefly on domestic account
Some mills sold fairly we'll but others
did comparatively little. 1t was ex-
ceptional where a mill disposed of its
entire output. The domestic trade, in
buying seemed to follow the old policy
of taking just as little flour as it was
possible to get along with. Rather
more foreign business appears to have
been done, clear being taken the more
freely. The bids made for patent were
often ridiculously Iout of line. Com
pared with a week ago patent at Min,

To wash SIX Underwear.

Great care should be taken when
washing silk underwear. Soap never
should be rubbed directly upon the
garment. Strong soap suds made of
warm water and white soap will be
found best. Squeeze the garment in
this water, and then, if the garment is
very much soiled, pass it through an
other warm suds and then rinse in very
lukewarm water. Press between the
hands to get out the water. Shake
well, and pull into shape, and when
the garment is nearly dry press it on
the wrong side with a moderately hot
iron.

they are far too fastidious for even

and some who never go to church at
