An Unmanly Complaint.

is nos only unmanly, but it is
outrageously unjust for men to COM
plain that women are driving them
out Of employment. There are 49,
000, Goo heads Of families il the Ua;s,d
States. Some Of these aro widows,
but the greater number are men.
There are men enough in the country
to support all che women If they
would. The fact is they do not. It
is their own fault. If every man who
pretends to be man were supporting
q woman as he should there would be
probably 1900, 1000 places in Offices,
stores, shops and factories that are
now occupied by women workers left
free to men and the women would be
at home. The worst feature in the
entire situation is that the women are
put of with about one-half the wages
size. 20 n.en enr the eama aArvioAa.

IA pathetic incident occurred in q

an Ex-Confederate soldier, Who him
self entered the Confederate srmy at
the age Of 18 and fought through she
war, was attracted to sica!y -llcck:as 4
youth Of 18 with the United States
army uniform on, and engaged him in
conversation. Finding that ne was
on furlough owing to illness, and on
his way to Ohio, and further that all
he possessed was fifty cents, plus his
transportation, the ex-Coniederate
took him to breakfast, and with the
assistance Of few friends placed him
in ample funds to travel, likewise
providing sleeping &C.: .cccmmeda-

erable in so many respects, served at
least one good end, viz, to obliterate
all lingering vestiges of sectionalism,

grade womanhood, you dissolve socie-
ty, you brutalize mankind. History
has no palmer lesson than that which
teaches that States are strong and
progressive where marriage is sacred
and indissoluble, and inevitably weak
and rctrograding when marriage is
civil contract to be annulled by the
consent Of the parties. God has no
direr curse or retribution than he
holds in store for that man or woman
who breaks the most sacred bond pos
sible to the highest being of creation.
Like Herod, either Of them will taste
hell on earth before its engulfng fires
swallow them up in an unspeakable
eternity.
Let US have great awakening in
our community on the all-important
subject of purity and love in the
home. Marry in the Lord or marry
not at ali. Whst JOY surmoal.sa The
marriage bell at your wedding? To
you she was queen as she stood
there by your side ct the altar arrayed
in her loveliness and beauty. She
was as pure as an angel and the best
of womankind. And you were her
king. Into your keeping she con6ded
her best affections, her honor and her
highest Joy. Your hearts went with
your hands when you plighted your
troth to be all the world to each other
in sickness and in health. in adversity
and in prosperity, so long as life
should last.
Never was heaven nearer to you
never was the purpose more high or
holy to keep heaven in your hearts
and home perpetually. Just in 80 far
as you and she have kept yourselves
pure and faithful, just to that degree
has your hearthstone continued to be
q patch Of Paradise. Only Gods sim
less ones in glory can realize one title
OF the bliss Of truly welded love. II
between any welded ones here to.
night there has grown colduess or
alienation, let there be an immediate
confession, and reconciliation. Get
together. Go into your chambers and
get down upon your knees side by
side, take each other by the hand and
each pray aloud prayer OF thanks
giving for each other and prayer Of
earnest petition FOR each other that
God may quicken your mutual love
and make you more congenial, moro
considerate, more consecrated to each
other. And, IL you have children,
remember you can leave them houses,
lands, stocks, bonds, property of all
sorts, but nothing Of the kind will be
q substitute for what they most desire,
namely, the priceless satisfaction that
arises from the assurance, My father
was good husband, faithful and true;
my mother was good wife, loyal,
loving and constant; my parents
proved the honorableness and the
happiness of Christian marriage and
set their children an example which
they not only initiate, but commend,
to all who wish heaven on earth.

CITY PROPER NOT DAMAGED

Only the Outskirts of Manila Were Bonn
barded by Americans.
HONG KONG, Aug. 16.-It was ru.
mored here last night that Manila had
surrendered but no news is obtainable
from the Spanish consul. Governor
General August refused to speak. The
German consul was called upon and he
informed the correspondent that the
outskirts of Manila were bombarded
and the city surrendered. No damage
was done to the city proper, only the
outskirts being bombarded. The date
of the bonn bardment was unknown to
the German consul, who refused to
say more.
General August told a lady that Ad-
miral Dewey demanded the surrender
of Manila in an hour. The Spaniards
declined to surrender and Dewey began
the bombardment and the Spaniards
hoisted white flag. General August
Immediately jumped into a German
launch, which was in waiting, and
went to the Kaiserin Augusta, which
sailed before the bombardment was con.
cluded

DISMISS CUBAN SOLDIERS

United States Will Pay OFF Insurgents
and Send Them Home.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug ia Sc.
cret meeting was held at the palace
during the evening between command.
ing officers of the American army and
the Cuban leaders. The strictest Sc.
crecy was maintained, but it can be
said with good authority that General
Garcia was present. The meeting
lasted an hour and a half. The infor-
nation obtainable is that the Cuban
situation was thoroughly reviewed and
that it was resolved to disband the
Cuban army and the United States
should pay the men off. This involves
the expenditure of 100000, but it is
most important to the prosperity of the
island, whose wealth is purely agricul-
ture, nobody, farmer or planter, daring
to cultivate his lands while running
the risk of having his fields raided and
burned.
