The degeneracy of the age was shown
in one of the churches last Sunday; It
was something terrible TO contemplate
The pastor while delivering his sermon
was considerably annoyed by the rust
ling of paper in pew n slight distance
in front, and finding that sundry Indlg-

had no effect he turned from his dis
course and requested cessation Of the
noise. Then two crimson courtenanccs,
possessed by n fond mother and son,

Won, while the Sunday paper that ere
ated the disturbance fluttered TO the
floor. Silence, deep and oppressive fol-
lowed. Some members Of the choir

1t Is question OF opinion how much
river water IS responsible for elckness,
The old theory that running water puri-
fles itself every seven miles isn't accept
ed so much as formerly and certain un-
cxplainable meteorological conditions en-
ter into the argument In these days Of
the bacillus and microscope. 1t Is a
strange fact, however, that though the
river was remarkably low last summer,
the quarter ending In September, ac-
cordins to the report OF DR.. Jepson, the
city health officer, showed less sickness
than In any corresponding period for
many years. Il Is popularity supposed
that with such a low river considerable
sickness results: but under Natures
lave of balance It is supposed that ell
matte conditions produce the necessary
antidote. In addition. It Is argued, that
in low stages the river Is fed by springs,
thus furnishing aqua OF some purity;
while the fever and other diseases which
appear to be frequent during high water,
are The result Of freshets which carry all
kinds OF Impurities into La Belle Rlvlere.
Upon Just how much river water figures
rs a primary cause. OF sickness local ply
slcians are not agreed, but there Is COM
fort for the teeto.aler In the knowledge
that the climatic conditions in this val
ley have little counteracting influence
Of their own, and that while the water
works variety isn't just the real thing. It
Is far superior TO that hauled into the

But this is getting vlle-so coming back
to the point. a young lady OF the have

ence at party on the Island one evening
this week, on account OF her persistence
in saying that she couldn't sing. Every
member of the company knew nearly as
well as she what q splendid voice she
owns, and 1t was known likewise how
she disdained requests to sing until her
admirers were nigh exhausted from ut

the same old sag. One after another
asked her to sing, and received the same
reply Indeed, you just know very

upon the builders of the recently purchased
cruiser Albany, formerly the Brazilian YES
sci Abreuall, ihe necessity to hasten the
construction of the ship with all possible
speed. In the ordinary course of work the
vessel would not be completed before next
December, but il is believed by officials
of the navy department that IL the build

ter Woodford when interviewed tonight
with reference to the report that he had
received advices from Washington as to
the findings Of the Maine court of inquiry,

government, declined to divulge anything.
Gen. Woodford said: President McKin-

Ell impartial says: 1.-The United States
are brutally forcing Spain into conflict.
To send the Maine report to Congress is
equivalent to throwing a torch into a bar

The government, despite such comments
is pursuing a conciliatory policy, and, it
is believed, will propose that the Maine
disaster be referred to international ar
bitrauon.
Among the wild rumors current to-day

Consul Lee at Havana had slapped Gen.
Blanco's face, and that Gen. Blanco drew
his revolver and killed his assailant The

Key West Fla, March 25.--The Associat-

here.

o'clock this afternoon for her to proceed
with all haste to'Havana and to take ou
board all the American officials in thas
city with the exception of Consul General
Lee.
It IS feared here that the knowledge %
the courts report has excited the Havana
population and brought the anti-American
sentiment 10 a climax.
Officers of high rank were still reticenhs
Rear Admiral Sicard. however. said:
"The court of inquiry brought In finds
ings according to what It's members be<
lieved. Nothing could have made them dd
otherwise. II they had been able to fix tho
responsibility ] feel sure they would not
have shirlSed this duty"
The attention of Rear Admiral sicard
was drawn to the fact that Spain had OFF,
clally denied that Havana harbor was
mined.
He replied: "1f Havana harbor wers
mine, should certainly have mined It.
The water there is especially suitable td
such method OF defense. Spafn's denial
hada nothing to do with the court Of in-
qulry. / should not believe a statements
that Havana harbor was not mined. The
court has not yet been dissolved. 1t 10
barely possible that more work may ba
required OF 1t; sbut this is not probable.
THE court of inquiry IL composed %
splendid men, am greatly satisfied with
their work I hardly suppose much exc
element win be caused by the announces
ment of the verdict, as / am under ths
impression that 30 per cent. of our own
people were already convinced that tho
Maine was blown up externally: and
scarcely think their Ideas would have
changed even II the court had reported
otherwise"
When the possibility of arbitration ana
the ensuing eptanglement were suggested
10 him, Rear Admiral sicard said: The
Maine case "a nothing In comparison with
the Alabama claims. Then we were ops
posed 10 powerful commercial rival: bua
now we are dealing with Spain.''
Washington, March 25.--At the White
House II was said that official advicea
here did not bear out the suggestion Of a
pending crisis In Havana and that thera
were no dispatches from Gen. Lee of a
disquieting nature.
AS to the movement of the Mangrove 10
was said that her departure was merely
in line with orders issue several days aga
