100000 Loss by Fire.

Cleveland, May THE big six-story
block on the southwest corner of Bank
and Lake streets was partially wrecked
by fire Friday morning. The northern
half of the building is owned by the
Bradley estate and the southern por-
tion by the Root-McBride Co. The loss
by fire was confined to the former, but
the wholesale stock of the Root-Mc-
Bride Co. was badly damaged. The
total loss is about 100000, The fire
originated from the combustion of
chemicals in Beeman's chewing gum
factory. Munhall Bros, printers, and
several wholesale dealers in clothing
suffered large losses.

NEEDED HIM IN THE HOUSE.
The Cool RetOrt of Witty Girl to
Fer COmpIacent Finncee Sets
Him to Thinking.

Among weddings slated for the near fu
ture is that of a clever young lawyer who
has Just won for his bride a charmin~ girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law
yer is not without certain amount of good
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prdes himself on being rather favorite
among girls of his acquaintance. Nearly
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demurred. A few
months later he met with a second refusal,
but determined to make one more effort.
BY this time the young woman had come to
regard him with good deal of esteem. This
feeling grew in warmth, and so, when,
week or so ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap.
pest man in town.
And you will be mine?" he asked,
eyes"
at seems too good to be true. When shall
the wedding take place."
IL don't know"
There is no use in putting it off.
"No," she answered. 81 think not"
The young lawyer named day preposter
ously close at hand, and after some hesita.
tion his charmer agreed.
81 knew that you would realize that you
would be happier with me than without me, "
he suggested, with just hint of triumph in
his tone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this was
as good time as any to take him down a
peg or two, for she replied very coolly:
eyes, do realize it now. You see, papa
is out of town on business good DEAL so that
mamma, aunty and are often quite alone.
] have thought it all over and have come to
the conclusion that it would be ever so much
safer to have a man in the house all the
time"
The accepted lover gasped in astonishment
for a moment, but then, seeing twinkle in
his adored ones eye, forgave her on the spot.
On the way home, however, he voted that his
future wife would be dangerous customer

Madrid, May 1O.-The work of the
political agitator is daily becoming
more manifest, as the plight of the
people becomes more hopeless. The re-
publicans declare that the moment the
telegraph announces new disaster to
the Spanish arms, the great mass of
the country will rise and sweep away
everything. The Carlists say if there
are fresh disasters they will seize pow
er. Therefore the key to the situation
is war news. The Carlists are well Or
ganized. The republicans are divided
by the rivalries of their leading men.

The Star Spangled Banner.

BRookLINE, MASS, Oct. "a, 1898.
To the Editor Of The American.
Most persons are familiar with our
national hymn, 1.-THE Star spsngled BAN
ner," but many persons probably are not
familiar with the facts and circumstances
Of its writing.
Francis Scott Key, its author, was born
in Frederick county, Maryland, August l,
1779, and died III Baltimore, January II,
1913. A collection OF his poems was pub
lished in 1857. He at one time lived in
Georgetown, now a part of the city of
Washington, near the end OF the old
bridge across the Potomac, where his
house is pointed out to tourists as they
pass by on their way to Fort Meyer and
Arlington.
1t was while the British feet was bonn
harding Fort Mctlenry at the entrance to
the hsrbor OF Baltimore, September 10,
lS14, that Key wrote 1.-The Star Spsngled
Banner. He had been sent under pro-
lection of flag OF truce on board the
British flag -ship "Minden", for the pur-
pose of negotiating an exchange of pris-
oners, and WAS detained over night on
DOaru, NneTe between the decks Oh the
ship he wrote his first draft OF the hymn,
inspired "by the rockets red glare, and
we can well imagine with what esgerness
he watched for dawn that he might see
"if our flag WAS still there, waving upon
the fort.

Disposition of the Philippines.


President Mckinley has no idea nor
has he ever had any idea of guaran-
teeing one dollar of the bonded in
debtedness of Spain in the treaty of
peace, and our commissioners are
acting under his orders in everything
they do.
The story that this government, in
return for the Philippines, would agree
to assume $40, 900, 900 of Spanish bonds,
issued as lien upon the Spanish rev.
enues from the Philippines, was orig
mated and circulated in this country
by "yellow" journals and in Europe by
journals in the pay of Spain, and is
believed to have no foundation in face.
AT joint session of the peace com
mission, held Monday at Paris, the
American commissioners, acting un-
der instructions from President Nc
Kinley, informed the Spanish COM
missioners that we demanded full
possession and ownership Of the Phil
ippine Islands.
1t is expected that Spain will en-
deavor to secure money indemnity
for the islands, on the ground that it
has spent large sums, including the
money raised from the sale OF
$4,000, 900 of bonds issued several
years ago, in making public improve
ments on the islands. The result of
that endeavor is as yet undetermined,
and viii depend largely upon the
showing that Spain will be able to
make, as to money actually spent
upon the islands.
President Mckinley has no desire to
be unfair to Spain in any way, just
because we have the power to be, and
there is no reason to doubt that if
Spain shows its right to be paid an
indemnity, he will agree to pay it, but
it will be paid in cash, with which this
government is abundantly supplied,
as he will never agree to anything
that will mix this government up in
any way with Spanish bonds or the
Spectators who hold those bonds.
1t is not expected in Washington
that the treaty of peace will be COM
pleted and signed before about No
yember Is.

Silence Better Than Speech.

Those who talk volubly upon their joys
and their griefs are not generally those
who are capable OF the profoundest hap
piness or the most intense suffering.
Those who can put into ready words the
sanctities OF love, and fiuently express all
its hopes and fears, have seldom pene-
trated to its depths. Those who utter
gtbly and INCREASINGLY all their upward
thrivings, their sentiments OF contrition,
their feelings of reverence, their desire
for worship, are not usually the most
truly religious or devout.
For all that is highest, deepest and most
profound in human nature, silence is a
better exponent than speech. Not only is
language inadequate to convey the trut b
of such things. but they are themselves
drawn from their high estate by being
made subjects Of ordinary conversation.

Business has been more affected by
foreign affairs than many realize, says
Dun's Recietr. London's apprehen-
sion of war first caused advance in
wheat and fears of monetary pressure
here. Then came confidence in Lon
don, with flight of French money
across the channel, and stock markets
here advanced. while wheat fell.
Mobs in Paris did not mean to influ-
ence American interests from New
York to San Francisco, but electric
wires have made the world small. So
the wires moved a cargo of wheat
from the Pacific coast, started s., 5O0,-
900 more gold from Australia to this
country on London account, and the
selling of American securities one
day and buying the next.
