DR.. b. L. Keller, of Washington C.
H., o., visited his brother Dr. Z. G.
Keller of this place the latter part of

Richard Browning, of Oakland, ac-

A CRITICAL TINE
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL. A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.

p. 7. BUTLER, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago De Cuba, on
July Esd, says: We all had diarr-
hOea in more or less violent form, and
when we landed we had no time to
see a doctor, for it was a case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy, we were able to keep at work and
keep our health; in fact, | sincerely
believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of
our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have
been no way Of getting supplies to
the front. There were no roads that
wagon train could use. My com
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in supply of this medicine for
our pack train before we left Tampa,
and | know in four cases it absolutely
saved life

Typical Cuban Giri.

Cuban women are noted for their
beauty, and it is said that they retain
their good looks much longer than
the women of some other countries.
The typical Cuban girl has black hair
and eyes, fine figure, fascinating
manner and a soft, sweet voice. She
is not as dark as mulatto, but looks
like an American girl who has been
at the seashore and become beauti-
fully tanned. Most women think of
the Cuban woman of one who habit
ually smokes, but this is not a faith
full picture of her The well bred,
dainty Cuban girl never smokes, and
she is seldom seen on the streets in
the evening, and only rarely does she
go out during the day, and never
without chaperon. In the company
Of a parent, brother or husband, a
Cuban girl will go to the park in the
evening or to the docks when a vessel
arrives or departs. She is, above all,
a home body. Her home is the centre
of interest, and she is never so much
at ease as there.-EX.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a woman in
this country. Disease fastened it's
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed incessant-
ly, and could not sleep. She finally
discovered a way to recovery, by
purchasing of us a bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs
Luther Lutz. Thus writes w. G.

REPORTS from Honolulu describe
the raising of the Stars and Stripes,
Aug. IL, as a rather sombre and one
sided ceremony. The Hawaiians did
not participate. On the contrary they
studiously and purposelv absented
themselves. As they had no hand in
turning over the sovereignty of the
island to foreign control so they re-
fused to take part in secondhand
transfer by usurpers. This mute sub
mission to the inevitable has a touch
of pathos in it, and should at least
serve as reminder to the new pro-
Drietorship is still a rooted remem-
brance.

Schley IA Genius.

Among the tributes that have been
paid to Admiral Schley the following
of Gen. Bradley T. johnson, in yes
terday's Baltimore sun, deserves
more than passing mention:
"As Maryland man, | am proud
of Schley. He is the greatest genius
in war that the State has ever pro-
duced. | take no account of his dar-
ing and his courage. That is com
mon to our people, for we come of
gamecock breed. But in GOODNESS, in
sense, in knowing by intuition what
to do or in doing it he is without a
peer. He sat in his Office in Wash
ington and thought out where Greedy
was to be found, and then went
straight to the spot and found him
there. When Cervera bolted out of
Santiago harbor instead of cutting
off the rear of the column, as Lord
Howard did the Spanish armada, he
made straight for the head of it. for
he knew if he got the head, he'd have
all That is genius-for that decision
must be made on the instant; on the
sight of the. field, And no orders of
Admiral Sampson could have pro-
vided for the contingencies that must
occur in action and did happen here.
We owe it to ourselves, to our pride
in our State to show our appreciation
of this gallant gentleman"
Add to genius, valor; and to valor,
modesty; and to modesty, courtesy
and thoughtfulness for others Can
not the American people be forgiven
for little hero worship in this in
stance?

Annexations and Statehood.

Let us have done with this talk
about the admission of Porto Rico as
a State. Men who deem themselves
sane are talking as if such action were
a matter of course. They seem to
think there is some natural and in
alienable right on the one side and
some inevitable compulsion on the
other that if Porto Rico wants to
come in she can, and we cannot hold
her as a Territory or colony.
That is a deplorable view for any
one to take. The fact is that no State
has ever been admitted as a matter
of right, but of privilege. Not one
has ever come in because it wanted
to, but because those already in were
willing that it should. One of our
Territories might be bigger than any
State, and richer. and more highly
civilized, and yet be kept forever in
the status of a Territory and excluded
from the Statehood it coveted, and
that would be in exact accord with
the Constitution and with American
principles and practice. So if this
Union does not want to take Porto
Rico in, and we do not think it does,
Porto Rico cannot get in, and there
is an end of it.
In this the wisdom of the fathers
OF the Constitution, whom the Little
Americans affect to despise and would
have us repudiate and contemn, is
abundantly vindicated. They pro-
vided in that noble instrument for
the admission of new States solely at
the will of the existing States, and
they also provided for the holding of
territory, temporarily or permanent
ly, not as States, but as colonies or
dependencies. Apparently they fore
saw exactly what is now occurring.
Indeed, we know that some of them
expected it. And they made full pro-
vision for it. This Nation can hold
Porto Rico and Hawaii, and any
other island or land it may come into
possession of, even to the whole of
the habitual globe, without ever tax
ing in any of it as State, and in so
doing it will be living up to the letter
and spirit of the Constitution with
admirable fidelity.
The trouble with these people who
are opposing annexation of more ter
ritory is that they think they can i'm
prove upon Jefferson and Adams and
the rest of those old worthless They
reckon the Constitution obsolete, and
want to lead the country off into new
and untried paths. For us. the old
Constitution and the policy of the fa-
theirs, even though it does seem a tri-
file jingoish, is good enough to stick to
a while longer. The principle of ter
ritorial expansion has worked splend-
idly for a hundred and fifteen years,
and we reckon things will not go to
everlasting smash if we stick to it a
little longer.

Mountain Chau tauqua.

Friday was the last and the banner
day of the Mountain Chautauqua for
the season of 1898. The Baltimore
and Ohio ran excursions both East
and West, which brought in an enor-
nous crowd of people. The last day
of the Chautauqua is always set apart
as Grand Army of the Republic day,
when all old soldiers are admitted to
all entertainments free. 1t has al
ways been the custom for the eX-Con
federates in this section to meet with
the Union Veterans at the Chautau-
qua, but never were sectional lines so
completely obliterated as it was on
this occasion.
Rev. Frank G. Bruner, of Illinois,
chaplainin-c chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, created the widest
enthusiasm when he told the audience
that he had just returned from the
Cuban war, where he had served as
chaplain. He paid a magnificent
tribute to Lee, Wheeler and other
Southern men who had been con-
spicious figures in this last war, and
thanked God that we have a united
country and rejoiced in the fact that
the Southern people are loyal to their
country and flag.
Among the speakers were Professor
Robinson, of Baltimore; Rev. J. p.
Mckee, of Pittsburg; Hanson b.
Friend, of Garrett county, and others.
In closing up DR.. w. l.. Davidson
said: I'VE propose to build new
auditorium, seating four thousand
people, with grand pipe organ on

to assist the chorus in making the
finest music in this part of the coun-
try. In conclusion want to say that
people have come from all parts of the
country to attend this Chautauqua
and there have been twentysi States
represented at our various entertain
ments. Notwithstanding the fact
that we have had ten days of rain
out of twenty-three, our receipts are
largely in excess of any previous year,
and tonight we close the most sue
cessful Chautauqua ever held at

The moderation of the United States
in refraining from the exaction of a
money indemnity from Spain has
been met-as might have been ex-
pected-by the suggestion put for
ward on the Spanish side that we
shall relieve Spain of her Cuban debt
and load it on Cuba. AS the debt is
about $3.50, 900, 900, this little arrange
ment would start the impovished
Cubans in life with a debt of nearly
S400 per capita. or an annual interest
charge, at per cent, of $40 per cap
ita.
This would be rather a heavy mort
gage to start with-about as heavy as
if the United States should he called
on to assume a debt of $29, 600, 600, 900
and an annual interest charge of
81, ,4OO,O 900.
The suggestion is too absurd to be
worth discussion. The Cuban debt
was contr acted not by Cuba but by
Spain, and was contracted wholly for
the purpose of expressing and rob-
bing the Cubans. If Spain will not
pay the debt it will not be paid. n. Y.
