July Ladies' Home Journal.

The President on horseback rides
spiritedly across the cover of the
July Ladies' Home Journal under
his new flag, and his chief charac
teristics are detailed in an illus
trated ::anecdotal biography, con-
tributed by his nearest and most
intimate friends.
At this time much interest will
be taken in the original Declara-
ton of Independence, now guarded
from public gaze, which, with the
original draft of the treasured doc
ument, is photographically repro
duced in the July Journal.
"Where Christmas is Like the
Fourth of July" describes New
Orleans Christmas, and GA Peace
Loving People" gives an interesting
glimpse into the lives and customs
of the quaint, picturesque Dunkers.
"Sam Markham's Wife," Hamlin
Garland's new Western story, and
Julia MAgruder's serial, ga
Heaven Kissing HILL" are strong
fiction features. Mrs. S. T. Rorer

Railroad Wreck.

A wreck occurred on the Column
bia & Port Deposit railroad about
one o'clock Tuesday afternoon at
Mount Ararat, one mile below Port.
An axle of a car on an extra freight
train broke, throwing four cars off
the track and badly damaging the
track for some distance. One coal
car was broken up, and its contents
turned into the river. All trains
and mails were delayed until $50
p. m, when mails and passengers
were transferred around the wreck
Wreck trains from Wilmington and
Columbia cleared the track and the
road was in running order at 8
o'clock. Capt. Gilligan's train
reached Rising Sun at about 1880
o'clock.

The Game of Bluff.

The Spanish government an
nounced with considerable flourish
that Camara's fleet which had been
lying in the harbor of Cadiz, had
been ordered to sail for the Phil
ippines, and proceeded as far as
Cape Said at the entrance to the
Suez Canal.
The Washington government, not
to be outdone, Immediately posted
the following bulletin on Monday :
Commodore Watson sails today
in the Newark to join Sampson,
when he will take under his COM
mand an armored squadron, with
cruisers, and proceed at once off
the Spanish coast"
1t is all bluff in both cases. 1t
would be a good speculation for the
United States government to coal
the Spanish fleet and assist it to go
to Manila where it would be COB
bled up by Dewey.

The war news of the present
week has been chiefly the advance
of Shafter's army on Santiago and
getting in position the siege guns
to lombard the defenses which the
Spaniards have. erected. The re-
ducing of the Spanish works was
expected to commence yesterday or
today. Barbed wire has for the
first time in the worlds history of
wars, been used as defense OF
obstruction to the advance of a
charging army. 1t is to be tested
whether this new device will prove
any more formidable than the tor
pedo boat, which is also new and
as far as tested in this American
Spanish war seems to be of little
account.

News Readings I'm Daysou-

fT m the Morning Orescnian.
Claude Smith tells novel story about the
way the news of the blowing no of the
Maine was received in Dawson City. An
enterprising Yankee got hold of the first
copy of newspaper containing the ac-
count. He made arrangements for getting
the news abroad in this business-like fash
ion:
caused bulletins TO be issued giving an
inkling of the character of the news thar
had been received, most judiciously worded.
and announcing that the full account would
be read in public in the evening in the
mammoth one-story log edifice next the
Blue Ruin dive on Birthstone street; adnis-
sion two pennyweights of gold, ranging in
value from $1-50 to S115.
At the appointed time the miners gath
cred to hear the news, and 200 or more of
them tossed their gold dust into the door
Keepers scales and crowded inside. The
reading was satisfactory, IL the news was
not, and there was no grumbling about the
investment. No less than $500, and prob
ably much more. was realized from that
idea. The reader was a liberal sort of
chap, and he read the other news I'm the
paper merely a courtesy to the assembly
This practice grew as the nation neared
war, and after the war began, and il is
frequent occurrence for public reading of
important news to be given in Dawson at
so much per head for admission. And the
fully than for war news. Their hberality
in this matter is sometimes taken advan:
taRe of, and stale stuff palmed off for news
and even the Dawson City public is dis
eliminating in this particular and is strong

thoroughly promised implicit obedience, but
it was evident, when he departed that he
