SPANS GIGANTIC EDIFIcE.

Spain possesses one of the largest build
ings in the world. 1t is at once palace.
a museum, library, picture gallery. a
monastery, church and burial place.
This wonderful ediice is called the Es-
corral, although the name is very gener-
ally corrupted both in England and
America into "Escurial."
The Escorial was commenced in 1868
by order of Philip III. of Spain, and was
intended partly as a royal burying place
for the Kings of Spain and partly as a
commemoration of Philips victory over
the French at st. Quentin in 1857. 1t is
built entirely of granite, and measures
744 feet in length by $50 feet in breadth.
At each corner is tower 200 feet in
height. The building is supposed to re-
resent an enormous gridiron lying
side down, and this shape is believed
have reference to Saint Lawrence, who
was martyred on gridiron.
Twenty-one years were spent in build
ing it and it cost over 81 z, 900. 900. 1t has
been twice partly destroyed by lightning
and was sacked by the French soldiers in
1903. There are $4,000 doors and / 900
windows.

the corporation and Lord Mayor rejoiced.
They had captured the Lord Mayor and
Mansion House since, and if Ireland
were true to herself she would yet cap
ture the Castle. He considered that
this was a great day for Ireland. He
agreed with what had been said by Mr..
Redmond earlier in the day as to their
differences. Their differences were as
to the most effectual method of asserting
the national rights of Ireland, but there
was no difference between Mr.. Redmond
and himself as to what that right should
be. Their opinion was the same-name-
lv. that the laws under which Irishmen
lived should be made by Irishmen, and
whether in the future those laws might
be administered by Mr.. Redmond or any
other man, they were all agreed, all the
great multitude assembled in the capital
of Ireland today, on the great principle
that they could never rest until the peo-
pie of Ireland had the making of their
laws. He most heartily agreed with the
definition of Irish nationality laid down
by Mr.. O'Leary. But he went even fur
Their than Mr.. O'Leary, who said he
would not be contented except by repeal.
He would not be contented with repeal,
for il was against the Irish Parliament
that Wolfe Tone rebelled. Until the
Executive of the country was responsible
only to the people of the country they
would never be content. Substantially
as regards the great principles which
should guide an Irish party they were all
agreed; there was only small difference
EXISTING as to methods, but as to the
future Irish nation there was absolutely
no difference.
The Lord Mayor, in proposing the
toast of the guests, said that the laws OF
England had within the past century
driven millions of their race from Ire
land. and some of these were present now
To show their love for the old land.
Miss Maud Come rejoiced at the great
demonstration which they had witnessed,
and which proved to the world that Eng
land lied when she said that Ireland was
coutented with her rule. This was a
movement Of the whole Irish people.
The spirit OF the Irish people was greater
than 100 years ago, and their chances OF
success might soon be greater.
Prof. NOUS alluded to the services
which Irishmen had rendered to France
from the days of Fontenoy to those OF
Marshal Mcmahon, and said that Ireland
would always hold high place in the
estimation Of France.

The latest notion in millinery is mar
row black velvet, mounted on wire, SO
that it can be bent into any form required
for bows, wings, rosettes, loops. etc. 1t
has found great favor, for, in addition TO
being effective, it is light and airy and
looks well with gauze-like materials.

That kind of inquisitiveness is an i'm
pertinence which is properly resented.
Men have property rights in their
thoughts and opinions as real as the
property rights in their pocketbooks.
To pry into their thoughts against
their will is an offense comparable to
tilching from their pockets. Inquisi-
tiveness of another kind which may
be justifiable is sometimes impolitic
As young people grow to young man
hood or womanhood and begin to in
dulge in the freedom of movement to
which their years entitle them par
ents sometimes forget that the child
rem are grown up and become I'M
duly inquisitive about their move
ments. Parents have a right to know
what their children under age are do
ing: it is their duty to inquire and
watch over and guard them. They
are quite justified in exhibiting solic-
itude for their welfare after they
have passed from parental control,
but they should guard against undue
inquisitiveness.
1t maybe resented, causing unseem-
ly quarrels, or it may be met by by
pocrisy and false statements. Inquis-
itiveness which leads to such respon-
ses is extremely mischievous, and yet
this is quite common effect of
espionage and prying into the affairs
of those who, though free to act, have
not yet forgotten the days of their
bondage. That which a parent may
do to a boy of eighteen he cannot
wisely do to the man of twenty-one.
In short it is impolitic to be inquisi-
tive when authority no longer exists,
except, of course, in cases where it
may seem necessary to extend author
ity over Il child who has fallen into
evil courses. The general rule that
should govern everyone's conduct is
to be inquisitive about all matters of
legitimate information that may be
useful. for in this way much informa
ton may be gained, but to keep a
check upon ones curiosity respecting
merely personal matters and to avoid
anything bearing resemblance to pry-
ing into private affairs. 1t is easier
to observe this rule as applied to
strangers than as applied to members
of ones own family. But it is in the
family circle that inquisitiveness may
be most annoying and mischievous.
The stranger will resent undue in
quisitiveness; the relative may feel
impelled to submit so it or to secretly
repel Sit by false replies. One has
only to extend ones notions as to
the rights of property to include be-
sides material objects personal affairs,
thoughts and opinions, to maintain
such respect for other people as will
preclude the possibility of becoming
a Paul Pry.-Balto. Sun.

Meaning of War,

The loss occasioned by war since
history began is beyond computation.
The loss of life in that time has been
estimated to have been at least IA, 000,-
600, 900 men. The United States has
not lost as much comparatively as
some of the European nations, but
the loss has been enormous notwith-
standing. The Revolutionary war
cost $20,000,00O a year. The second
war with England cost $72, 900, 900,
the war with Mexico cost $25, 900, 900
and 5000 men. The Civil war entail
ed loss of 81, 800, 200, 900 on the North
and $4,000 900 on the South and
left debt of $3,OO0,OOO, 1000, beside
other incalculable losses to commerce
and trade, to say nothing of the loss
of life, which mounted up into the
hundred thousands. The war now
being waged with Spain costs $780,
900, 900 per month. \ year of such
warfare, with the loss of men, arms
and ships will cost the country much.
Valuing the average man as wealth
producer at $1,000, the volunteers
called out by the President, the stall
wart, capable and useful men, repre-
sent an economic value of $625, 900, 900,
which is exposed to the risk of loss.
1t may be admitted that the first
results of war just now will be bene-
fetal to many kinds of trade and in
dustry. 1t will stimulate some kinds
of business, it will give employment
to many unemployed it will create
new demands and seem to justify the
assumption that war pays But ex-
perience teaches to the contrary. In.
creased values will be followed by
correspondingly low values, activity
by stagnation, increased indebted
ness, etc. 1t is no wonder that Pres
ident Mckinley was loath to begin
the war and with reluctance allowed
hostilities to begin.

VIM. +. Gladstone,

William Ewart Gladstone, the
greatestEnglish statesman of the 10Th
century, died at O'Clock, Wednesday
morning at his home, Hawarden Cas-
tie, in his eighty-ninth year. Mr.
Gladstone was a leader in English pol
itics for many years and was several
times at the head of the Government
as premier. He was a man of marvel
Gus physical and mental vitality and
was actively engaged in public affairs
until long past eighty years old. The
magnificent effort he made for Irish
Home Rule was of such recent date as
to be familiar to the young people of
to-day. He was not alone statesman
and politician, however, although for
the last fifty years and more he was
closely identified with public affairs.
and the acknowledged leader of the
liberal and progressive element in the
British nation. Through all the vic
issitudes of prolonged public career
he maintained a true christian charac-
ter, and many word was spoken by
his lips, or written by his pen, in the
interest of the christian faith. He
was in no mean sense theologian and
his greatness was magnified by the
simplicity with which he accepted the
Bible as the Inspired Word of God,
and the earnest devotion to Christian
duty that marked his life. He lived
and died untitled by man, because he
declined the distinction of nobility
which his sovereign was eager and
ready to confer upon him; but his
name alone is as proud title as the
most exalted in history. He was a
nobleman by nature and was more
capable of comforting honor upon,
than of receiving honor from, his
country. All honor to the memory of

THURSDAY. MAY 90, 1898.

BUT for the daily papers our people
would scarcely realize that the United
States is at war with a foreign power
Business everywhere goes on just the
same, our people are loyal, united and
patriotic, having every confidence in
those in authority, and thoroughly
satisfied that success awaits the ac-
ton of army and navy. We have
great cause for thankfulness, and the
people of toe Old World are learning
the lesson that the Americans can
fight one nation and feed all the others
whose people happen to be hungry,
and they should learn from this that
the Americans themselves are suffer-
ing no great inconvenience.

And Then They Breakfasted.

The Philadelphia Press says: For
telling light on the American char
acter none of the many glorious and
dramatic incidents of the fight in Ma
Mia Bay equals the knocking off for
breakfast. The forts had been pass
ed, the mine fields defied, the enemy's
fleet destroyed after three hours
work and then they breakfasted. The
attack tells of American daring, the
result tells of American skill, the car
ing for the wounded is eloquent of
the American heart, but the break
fast at $50 on the morning of May list
proclaimsa determinate GOODNESS that
is not unlike the calm inexorableness
of fate itself.
"Why not coffee and rolls and a
chop? Orders had been carried out;
duty had been done; the situation
was in our control, the end was in
sight, and all this on empty stomachs.
To a considerable commodore, careful
of his men, approaching at the full
extent the effect of such an order on
esprit du corps, such a simple act
came doubtless as n matter of course
And yet it had in it elements that
made it easily the dramatic bit of the
fight. What Manila took for re
treat was simply the call to reflection
The yankees in flight" were quietly
comparing notes on the Hong Kong
egg and girding themselves anew
for the work still cut out for them
The commodore might have done
many things-fought to finish with
out stop, for instance. But he die
not. He stopped for breakfast.
Madrid should not overlook this
point. The censor may omit it as al
unimportant detail. Senior Polo, how
ever, who happily is where he car
read uncensored news, should report
it at once. 1t is vital. 1t means the
Yankee head is as cool as his heart i:
warm, and that against such com
manders as those in Manila Bay
Spain fights in vain. Daring, intrepid
equipped, resourceful, without fear
they shot to tell and-well they stop
ped for breakfast. Magniticent.''

Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The propri-
etors of Dr. Kings New Discovey for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, lhave
given away over ten million trial bot
ties of this great medicine, and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has alb
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness and all diseases of the Throat,
Chest and Lungs are surely cured by
it. Call on A. e. Sturgiss, Druggist,

Judge Edward Stake, in imposing
sentence for gambling in Smithsburg,
gave warning to the community that
all raffles and games of chance would
be dealt with as gambling devices.
The party sentenced had been keep

The court also referred to the prac-
tice of fire companies and churches
when they hold fairs getting up games
of chance, which, he said, all came
within the scope of the gambling law.

The new town being built by THE
Pen Mar coal company, % miles North
of Grantsville, has been named Hast
ings, after the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. a force of men is employed
grading for a railroad from the mihes
to West Salisbury, where connections
will be made with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. They have opened
about one hundred and fifty feet,
where the vein is about eleven feet
thick. 1t will require two or three
good sized trains to move the coal az
ready taken out. A little distance
from the opening the company erect
ed a large and commodious stable and

Normal Literary Society for Friday
evening, June 8, 1898:
The Coming Season ON the Mountains.

The season of 1898 promises to be
the best ever enjoyed by the resorts
in the mountains. The reason ad-
vanced for the greatly increased num-
Der of visitors at this time is the fear
that the Spanish fleet, should it not
be annihilated by Sampson and
Schley, will sail along the eastern coast
and strike our seaside resorts. The
people who frequent these places do
not relish being bombarded and
therefore will spend the summer in
the mountains.

DROWNED IN A SPRING.
A Little son of Marshall Friend Falls I'M

A Little son of Marshall Friend Falls into
Spring and is Drowned.
Saturday afternoon of last week a
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall
Friend, residing near the Bray school
house, six miles west of Oakland, met
with death in most distressing man
ner. The little one was in the yard
surrounding the house with two sis
tiers, engaged in play. They relaxed
their notice of him for few minutes
and in that time he wandered away
from them and went to the rear of
the house at which point a spring is
located. 1t is supposed that the child
attempted to dip some water from
the spring and in doing so lost his
balance and pitched headlong.
Shortly after his absence was discov-
cred the lifeless body of the little one
was found, his head resting upon the
sandy bottom of the spring and his
feet above the water.
The funeral took place Monday
morning and the interment was made
on the farm of the child's bereaved
parents, who have the sympathy of
the entire neighborhood in their sore
affection.
