Every morning for a month thirty
prisoners OF war were shot at day
break under the walls Of Santa Clara.
Probably there is nothing which the
Spaniards have done in Cuba which
has more aroused the sympathy of
the people Of other lands for the Cuban
rebels than this ruthless slaughter Of
the prisoners of war in cold blood
Baltimore Sun Gold Democrat).
1t Is cold-blOOdcd murder OF course,
yet strictly legal, since no nation has
recognized the bclligerency OF the in
surgents, and they have no standing
other than that Of traitors at any
capital in the world. 1t is u terrible
shame, a frightful atrocicity, that
Spain should continue to execute pris-
oners captured IN battle, and the fact
adds greatly to the difficulties OF the
United States in dealing with the
Cuban question.-Springaeid Repub'

WEARING VEILs.-A Chicago ocu-
list, who has grown rich in the prac-
tice OF his speciality, says his fortune
is built on the face wells Of women.
The fine lines and dots are extremely
injurious, and bring all sorts OF dis
eases OF the eye. Most women know
by their own experience that after
taking of veil they see spots and
rings, or have a dimness OF vision,
seeing everything in a blur but so
long as wells are SO extremely FASH
ionable few are likely to heed the
warming. A dotted face veil, like
the mantle OF charity, covers up a
multitude OF faults.

TIE PRUNING OF SHRUBS.

Rural New Yorker.
Some people often complain that
their shrubs fail to bloom, when the
fault is entirely due to defective
pruning Shrubs which bloom early
in the spring form their blossom buds
the year before; necessarily, If such
are pruned severely in the fall, these
Towering buds are cut away, and the
owner complains that the shrubs
'fail to flower" The rule for all early
blooming shrubs is to do any pruning
Immediately after their blooming is
over, this encourages the growth OF
new shoots, which have time to ma
ture and form towering buds during
the seasons growth.
1t does not follow, by any means,
that severe pruning is needed: dead
wood and weak shoots may be rcmoy-
ed, and, If necessary, the shrub thin
ned a little to admit plenty of light
and air. Other shrubs, which bloom
late IN the summer from the current
seasons growth, may be pruncd either
early in the spring, so that there is
time to produce Towering wood, or
late in the fall, after blooming is over
In addition to pruning for bloom
we also prune to produce wcl-ripcned
wood, or to gain symmetry OF growth
For these purposes, we may prune all
summer long without injury to the
plant. Indeed, some shrubs and vines
lose SO much sap when cut in the
spring that they Will "blecd" to death;
such subjects may be pruncd in sum
mcr with mpunity.
Summer pruning is also found use
fui during a very wet season; it pre-
vents a soft, sappy growth, which
would otherwise suffer as soon as cold
weather sets IN, shrubs ordinarily
hardy suffer as soon as allowed to
carry aquantity Of succulent. imma-
ture wood. But while judicious prun.
ing is needed, over-pruning certainly
weakens plants, though it may result
temporarily in an apparent increase
Of growth Most amateur gardeners
will find a little thinning or the re.
mova Of dead wood, all that is re-
quircd.

for an oak tree. Roof came out ana
demonstrated when a rope was thrown
around his neck. Roofs wife became
hysterical and the little children we're

a big oak tree. their hands tied behind
them and then strung up to a limb.
They allowed them to kick and struggle
until life was almost extinct, and then
lowered them. This they repeated sew

with what they had done they made
the Japs pack up their traps and leave

THE NEW YORK BANKS.

New York. January 9.-The Flnan-
cier says;
The statement Issued by the clearing
house banks Of New York City. for the
week ending January ., is a more ef-
feotlve argument in favor OF an imme-
diate low money market than columns
OF theoretical discussion. The enormous
increase In deposits and in cash hold
ings have been equalled only once, and
that was for the week ending Novem-
Der Il. succeeding the election.
These gains, It is needless to say,
were the result OF the January dividend
payments. the continued flow OF money
to this center and the large increase
In savings deposits. As there is no
outlet for this money. the usual winter
gold exports having been postponed,
the total cash gain appears much larg-
or than during any previous year. The
expansion OF deposits, unaccompanied
by an increase In loans. as is usually
the case. also shows clearly the source
OF accumulation and that the result
OF the weeks operations has been to
increase by SlO7O4. 500 the cash in the
New York banks, bringing the total ex-
cess reserve up to s5S,S9l. .45O. which is
larger than for two years past.

Special to the Astorian.

number Of legislators. and the lobby Of
the Willamette Hotel presents a lively
scene tonight. Among those who ar
rived was Senator Mitchell who imme-
dlately upon his arrival here opened up

consultation with his lieutenants, Civ

didates for the speakership Of the
houe. also came In on the evening
traln. Bourne Immediately opened his
headquarters at the Eldridge Block.
The principal topic Of discussion is the
United States senatonship and the
speakershlp.
II Is generally conceded that Simon.
Of Multnomah, will be president OF the
senate. and organization Of the senate
Is not among the speculations. Senator
Mitchell stated 10 a representative OF
the Associated Press that ne would be
elected on the first ballot by the Re-
publican vote. Those opposing him are
equally confident that he VIII not re-
ceive the necessary number OF votes.
The principal candidates for the
speakershlp are Riddle. Benson. and
Bourne. Bourne 1t is thought is as
sured Of the support OF the Populists
and Democrats Tonight Riddle seems
TO have greater strength than Benson.
There is no diminution OF applicants
for clerkships in comparison with for
mer years. There is no general talk
OF a caucus yet. although many mem
bers express themselves as favorable
to one for both the senate and house or

FOR YOUNG MEN.
Eastern Man Who Visited Oregon Tells
Of the Way to Succeed.

A promient business man of the East
who recently visited the West. when
asked about the young mans chances
Aow to make his fortune, replied in the
following characteristic and interest
ms manner:
To answer intelligently questions such
as are presented TO me concerning the
present requirements and chances for
young men to attain success, counter
questions are in order,
So vast is the diversity of opinion as
to what constitutes success in life that
both time and space are wanting to
consider the subject in its varying as
poets. An entire column or page might
be devoted to the consideration of a
single phase Of the question involved,
without at all satisfying the special
curiosity Of the inquirer. as viewed
from his peculiar standpoint.
Then, too, very much depends upon
the character OF the man himself in
determining whether city or country
life is best calculated to promote his
advancement in the race, and whether,
with his mental and physical charac-
terlstics, he is more likely in the one
than in the other to reach the desired
goal.
My belief is that in this nation at
large there are as many opportunities
or openings" as there ever were for
the development of young mans ca
pacities and for his attaining success
in life.
Viewed in the narrower scope of
merely acquiring money or property
with which to secure a competency for
himself and family, there may be
greater competition than formerly in
the chief cities: but in the newer states
of the great West, and in the reviving
Industries of the awakening South. the
opportunities extended to industry and
to business enterprise and ability are
limitless.
The boundless natural resources of
the Northern Pacific states, as also
those of the Gulf states. offer a most
inviting field to young men desirous
of carving out their own fortunes.
Were starting again in life, the
question of climate would interest me
greatly and exercise dominant influ-
ence in determining my choice of a
home. Fortunately those states which
now hold out to young men the strong
est inducements for settlement offer
also climatic advantages superior to
