MILDRED SMITHS ROMANCE.
Daughter of Wealthy Parents Weds n
Poor Salvation Army Man.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, June 2.-That
love will find a way was demonstrated in
the romantic marriage in this city yester-
day of Miss Mildred Smith, aged eight
cen, and Melvin A, Mann, twenty-five years
old. The bride is a graduate Of the school
for the blind at Vinton She was reared
with every advantage that money could
bestow, and after taking musical course
at that school she returned to her home
in this city. Shortly afterward while
passing down the street in a carriage with
her mother. Miss Smith was attracted to
a member of the Salvation Army, who was
kneeling in prayer on the street. The car
riage was stopped, and after the prayer
the girl did nothing but talk of the Won
derful voice of the young man. Unknown
to her parentsi she later visited the sal
walton Army and occasionally played the
organ in the barracks. There she met the
man whose voice she adored and long
courtship followed.
Mr.. Smith, the father of the girl soon:
however, learned of the attachment OF
Mildred for the Salvation Army man, and
forbade her ever again speaking to him.
The influence of the friends of Miss Smith
was also secured by her parents to break
UP the attachment, but all to no purpose.
Despite everything that could be done the
child of wealthy parents was yesterd lay
secretly welded TO the member or the
Christian soldiers. The parents of Miss
Smith have not yet outlined their future
course in the matter. Mann Is at present
working in a creamery at harrisburg, ana
has taken his wife there.

Free-silver papers are publishing with
evident delight statement prepared by
New York paper relative to the alleged in
crease in the number of tramps in the coun-
try. The figures are prefaced with the fol-
lowing statement:
Reports collected from every section of
the country show that there is now vast
army of tramps spread over the united
States. In almost every instance the IN
crease in the number OF wanderers mas
been due 70 the nonappearance OF Mchln-
-Iey's promised prosperity. The total num-
Der of tramps at present IN the united
States, according to the most c4nserVatl We
far the larger portion are men honestly
looking for work
Then follows a table purporting to give
the number of tramps in every State in the
Union, the total being 336, $50 The number
ascribed to Indiana is 10000. AS there is
no means of getting anything like an ac-
curate or even approximate estimate of the
number of tramps in the country this esti-
mate is probably based on wild guesses
made by cranky persons Of the free-silver
school 1t is probable that an actual
census of tramps would show less than
half the number stated. There may be as
many as 1886 250 persons out of employment
but there are not half that many actually
tramping from place to place. The worth
lessness of the estimate is shown by the
statement that "of these by. far the larger
portion are men honestly looking for
work" There is not an intelligent person
in the country who does not know that by
far the larger portion of so-called tramps
are persons who would not work if they
had chance. A few may be really looking
for work. or would work If they had an
opportunity. but much the largest number
are tramps and idlers from choice. An
other falsehood is the statement that 1.-THE
increase in the number of tramps has been

due to the nonappearance of Mckinney
promised prosperity" The assertion that
there has been an increase in the number
of unemployed since McKinley's election
is grossly false On the contrary, there has
been large decrease. Evidence of this can
be found in many directions Beginning
at home reporter of the Journal is en-
gagged in preparing a comparative state
ment of the number of persons employed
in this city and year ago. The can
vass is not completed yet, but as far as 1t
has gone the reports show an average of
about 20 per cent. more men employed now
than one year ago. One large establish
ment is working so per cent more hands;
another 200 more while another says I'VE
are swamped with orders The same is
true in other cities. "A Pittsburg paper said
few days ago:
An industrial revival along the Monon-
gahela valley has started, and prospects
are brighter than for months past. Both
the Edgar Thomson and the Homestead
steel works resumed this evening, all de-
partments running full. The Duquesne
steel works, which have been manufactur-
ing billetS, have begun on rails. Enough
orders are on hand to keep these plants
Braddock, the Pittsburg and the Rankin
wire works in full operation. The
Duquesne forge is on full for the firS&time
in two years. The National tube works, at
McKeesport, put in operation additional de-
partments to-day The Devices Wood Com
pany is reported as likely to start in a few
days.
Railroad shops. car works and locomotive
works everywhere are employing more men
than they were six months ago, as are
most of the manufacturing establishments
in the natural gas cities of this State. Judg-
ing from the increase in the number of
men employed in this city now and one year
ago 1t is safe to say that in the country at
large there are at least 900 more. This
may not have greatly reduced the number
of tramps, because, as before stated, a
large majority of tramps would not work
If they had a chance, but it has greatly
reduced the number of unemployed. Times
are still hard, but they are gradually i'm
proving. There are too many honest men
out of employment, but there are not near
ly as many as there were a year ago. and
the number is constantly diminishing. Such
statements as that referred to are wckedly
false, and made for a base purpose Those
who circulate them are guilty of vicious
lying.

The jubilee Festivities are to continue in
one form and another until the end Of next
week. The programme contains a long list
of banquets, receptions and other cere-
monials at many of which it is planned
that the Queen shall be present. She can,
it is true, delegate her duties. but as it is
the desire in each case to pay her personal
homage deep disappointment would result
at her absence, and this she, of course,
understands and is doubtless DESTROYS of
carrying out her part Of the affair com
pletely as possible. At its best and how
ever gratifying the adulation of the popu
lace, the fortnight must be great nervous
strain to her. and the authorities in charge
should have care lest the burden be such
that the celebration of another anniversary
is made impossible.

free-silver men will be trying TO get into

1t is not an uncommon thing to hear a
man say of some favorite article of food
that he never had enough of it. John South
wick, an Illinois man, felt that way about
strawberry shortcake, and the fruit being
cheap this year he resolved to crafty him
self. To that end he procured five quarts
of strawberries, made an immense cake
with his own hands, spread the berries over
it, ate it all-and died. The account of the
affair ascribes the unfortunate result to
the quantity of berries. but it must not be
forgotten that he made the pastry himself.
Plenty of people will be ready to testify
that if the fruit came in five quart boxes
there were not enough of them to kill any
man

The new programme of the Spanish Lib
erals can hardly fail to have marked
effect on Spanish politics. The determine
ton to abstain from all relations with the
government as long the Duke of Tetuan
is retained in the Cabinet precipitates anew
the very crisis that caused the recent res
ignations of the Ministry which it was sup
posed had been bridged over by the reap
pointment of the Duke of Tetuan. The
present decision of the Liberals means that
they will not participate in the Cortes
while the offensive minister remains in the
Cabinet. and this means a deadlock which
can only be removed by a dissolution of
the present Ministry. The Liberal pro-
pramme goes further and declares in favor
of the immediate recall of General Wey-
Ter, the stopping of the reign of terror In
Cuba and the substitution of home rule

The English society editor" is very
frank and outspokeh. The London Nails
chronicle of society movements has this
item: Among those one has seen about in
the streets are Mr.. and Mrs. Lancelot
Lowther, who were walking together, and
she, although seldom well dressed. is ex-
tremely pretty, and was looking her best
in dark blue" Think of an American paper
of repute venturing to say of any lady that
she was seldom well dressed" Even the
accompanying statement that she was
handsome in spite Of her attire would not
lessen the deadliness of the insult.

Americans more than anybody else have
a right to criticise the official acts and
expressions of the President, and as Mr..
McKfnley's letter of congratulation to
Queen Victoria is pretty sure to be critt-
cised in England, we may as well have our
saw in advance. The letter shows good
feeling, but is no~ in good form The prin-
cipal objection to it is it's commonplaceness.
1t is to be regretted that an occasion which
called for a formal expression from the
head of one of the two great English-speak-
ing nations of the world to the head of the
other should have called forth letter so
perfunctory in tone and SO nearly slipshod
in expression ut is pleasing" says the
letter, ito acknowledge the debt of graft
tude and respect due to your personal vir-
tues" Now, aside from the poor taste of
congra tulating the Queen that she is good
woman instead of a bad one it is neither
pleasing nor correct to say that the Amer
lean people owe debt of gratitude to the
Queen on that account. They may admire
her for it, but there Is no occasion for graf
itude. 1t is not likely that Mr.. Mckinley
wrote or dictated the letter but whoever
did produced ore that never should have
been sent to a country Astounding with
English critics.

The question of Hawaiian annexation
should be considered in the light of future
rather than of present conditions. A CEN
fury is not a long time in the life of a ma
ton. and the question will appear very diff
ferent in 1897 from what it does in 1897 Be-
fore that time arrives our present popula-
ton will have more than doubled, our Pa
cife ocean trade will have vastly increased,
and Hawaii will be far more important
and valuable possession than it is now. 1t
Is the province of craftsmanship to look
ahead
