THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.
no Prospect of It's Immediate DIsband-
mant.

Washington, August s. Assuming that
Spain has decided to accept our terms for
the negotiation of peace, it is expected
that the peace agreement will be formally
completed the first Of next week and hos
tilities suspended at once. This will
not be followed at an early date by the
disbanding of the army, but on the con-
trary the period before the signing of The
formal peace treaty and its ratification by
the Senate, will be devoted to perfecting a
compact and effective organization of the
army, and cleaning, repairing and placing
all the vessels of the navy. The sick and
wounded of army who are regarded as
incapacitatcd for further service, will prob
ably be given their discharges at all early
date. The men who are i'll good condi-
ton or are suffering only temporary dlsa-
biity, will be held together and put in the
best possible shape for service. a part OF
the forces sent to Porto Rico will be kept
there and others sent TO Havana and
other Cuban cities for garrison duty. 1t
is regarded as quite probable that some OF
the best of Skaters army, after thor
cughly recuperating in the United States,
may have TO be sent again to Cuba.
The so-called "immunes," WHO will
take the place Of General Skaters forces
at Santiago, are not, in many cases, it is
believed, really immune, aid it therefore
is probable that SOME of them will fall vic
TINS TO the climate.
The protest Of Senator Bacon against
sending the Georgia "immunes' to San
tiago, indicates lack of confidence, in the
locality from whicl. the so-called Sim
munes'' come, in their ability to withstand
the heat. Communications to the De-
pgrtment from friends Of some of TIC "im-
munes" shows the feeling of anxiety
which exists. The Department, however,
while anticipating that there will be sick
ness among the immunes, and that some
OF them will have to be brought babk in
capactated, does not feel that the great
anxiety expressed is warranted. The reg
iments sent to relieve Shaiter, whether
actually immune Or not, will land there
under much better conditions than Gen
eral Skaters army, and will be provided
with every comfort possible under the cir
cumstmces, will not be called upon to ell
dure exhausting fatigue and exposure, and
will be provided with shelter, wholesome
food and sufficient medical attention.

Projected Peace Carnival.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Two hundred promi-
nent business men met at the Great North
ern Hotel last evening and decided on a
grand carnival and peace celebration to
which the whole country will be invited.
The sentiment of the meeting was to make
the celebration as great in its line as was
the Worlds Fair. The spectacular fea-
lures will eclipse anything ever seen in the
country. The demonstration will con-
tinue for ten days or two weeks. The cor
ner stone of the new post office will be
laid, at which President Mckinley has
promised to be present. Members of the
cabinet and high government officials and
other civil functionarics will be among tile
invited guests.

THE terrible suferings that our brave
soldiers are now undergoing at Santiago,
resulting from sickness, prove the wisdom
of President Mckinley in his earnest eff
font to postpone the commencement Of
hostilities until after the rainy or sickley
season in Cuba was over.

ONE important lesson that has been
taught the United States by the war with
Spain is that merchant ships are as neces-
sary in times of war as are armies and
navies. They afford training schools for
seamen and engineers, and when war
comes can be used for auxiliary cruisers
and transports.

BRYAN1sM, free silverism, free tradeisn
and all the ism's contained in the Pulaski
platform were rejected by the people Of
the Ninth District in 1896. Has anything
occurred since then to commend those
ism's to the people of this district? Ii
not, Why then should the party that pro-
claims them assert that it will win in the
Congressional election in November
Why?

SOME of our Democratic contemporaries
seem to think they have selected a candi-
date for Congress that can bulldoze Gen.
Walker. The Democrats might possibly
defeat Gen. Walker out the whole party,
every man that composes it, in the Ninth
District could not possibly bulldoze him.

Wartime WoOlng.
Philadelphia Times. ]

Philadelphia Times
Tales are told of the soldiers and sailors
having sweethearts in every town they
visit, but there is another side to the
story. 1t was no uncommon thing during
the civil war for girl to be engaged to
three or four men at the front. She took
the precaution, of course, that each man
should be in a different regiment and as
widely separated as possible, but still she
did it. For many years the daughter OF
one civil war woman veteran was familiar
with by no means small trunk which,
safe in the corner of the attic, was, she
was told, filled with "letters from the
'front.'" On housekeeping time the trunk
happening to be open the daughter was as
tonished to see that it was indeed filled
clear up to the limit. "Why, mammal"
she cried, as she gazed curiously at the
hundreds of bundles of faded, fast yellow
ing letters, 81 don't see how papa had
time to fight and write all these letters to
you, too" "Papa?" repeated the mother;
"my dear child, hadn't even met your
father then. Those letters are from four
different men in four different regiments
to whom was engaged. You didn't sup
pose one man could Or would have writ
ten all that ?"

THE balance of trade for the last fiscal
year in favor of the United States amour
ted to about 5000, 100000. This was occa-

our imports. Not only we're the exports
of grain enormous but also of manufacture

If President Mckinley is as successful
in conducting peace negotiations as he has
been in prosecuting the war with Spain,
those who undertake to criticise him will
be laughed at.

A Graceful Tribute.
Springfield Republican. |

1t is a graceful tribute that General o.
O. Howard, one of the most conspicuous
of our Federal veterans, pays to General
Fitzhugh Lee. "Of the six encampments
along the coast that visited and carefully
examined" he writes in the Independent,
General Fitzhugh Lees is all in all de-
cidely the best" This endorsement is of
particular value, coming from a seasoned
commander who fought against General
Lee a generation ago.

large money in litigation and lawyers fees,
the simple people of Burmah manage to
settle this question without the least diff
Guilty and without waste of substance.
Recognizing the fact that marriage is often
lottery, and that, in cases of suddenly dis
covered incompatibility, it always is the
Burmese man and wife agree that divorce
shall be decreed by lottery also. If a. Bur-
mese couple find that they cannot live in
peace, and decide that they would be best
separate, the wife goes out and buys two
candles of equal length. These candles are
made for this especial purpose, and are the
only legal expenses that need be incurred
in obtaining a Burmese divorce The wife
brings them home. She and her husband then
sit upon the floor, and, at a signal, each
lights a candle. One candle stands for him,
the other for her. The one whose candle
burns out first rises and goes out of the
house forever, taking nothing. The one
whose candle burns longest, even by frac-
ton of a second, remains and takes every
thing. Thus the divorce is settled without
any fuss or scandal, the general public is
not annoyed by the contentious of the sepa-
rating couple, and each is free to remarry.
There are, indeed some lessons in plain
common sense that may be learned even
from the ways of the heather who lin his
blindness bows down to wood and stone"

L want to tell about most delicious cake
concoction l have lately encountered for
the first time; it was a revelation of what
cake can be, and good enough to venture
giving for the benefit of those who have not
met with it as yet. 1t is just the right thing
for serving at this season at a luncheon or
high tea, or as an accompaniment TO iced
tea or coffee. or, in fact, whatever cake
would be grateful. 1t certainly is a dream
of a cake!
The first requisite is ring cake mold like
a ring jelly mold, but the center hole must
not be too large and the tin must be rather
deep so that the cake will stand high on the
plate on which it is served. The mixture
for the cake may be made from any good.
rich chocolate cake receptive all have our
particular favorites. and they are all alike
in general principles, consisting of a good
sponge-cake mixture, with melted chocolate
added towards the end of the stirring to give
the necessary flavor and richness. When the
cake is baked il is turned out as soon as
possible on to the platter or plate on which
il is served and then covered with a rich
chocolate Icing the soft kind which pene-
trateS into the cake as well as covering the
outside. And then comes the finishing touch
that gives this especial delisacy its char
acter which is sweetened whipped cream
that fills the hole inside of the ring of cake.
While simple enough 10 make and prepare,
the combination of the hot rich chocolate
cake and the whipped cream is really ideal,

CONCERNING A NORTH CAROLYN
IAN

The Washington Spcctm says this of
well known North Carolinian. Mr..
Edward A. Oldham. in connection
with the appointment Of the In
dustrial Commission as provided by
act Of Congress:
Among the names mentioned in
Washington for the nine places on the
new Industrial Commission to be
filled by President Mckinley, is that
Of Edward A. Oldham. who ten years
ago founded and has made a success
Of the news gathering institution
known as the Associated Trade and
Industrial Press. Mr.. Oldham has
been identified with industrial de-
velopment for nearly 20 years,
during which time he has given at
tention to public questions touching
material conditions. He had the
reputation OF being an able writer
and IS said to possess a marvellous
fund of general information on all
industrial subjects, which latter fact
is regarded as adding to his peculiar
fitness for the position. He is a
native of North Carolina, and is not
yet forty.
The Industrial Commission is to
investigate questions pertaining to
immigration, labor, agriculture, man
ufacture, and business, and to re-
port to Congress and to suggest
such legislation as it may deem best
upon these subjects. 1t is also to
furnish such information as may be
made basis for uniform legislation
by the various States. in order to
harmonic conflicting interests, and
to be equitable to the laborer, the
employer, the producer, and the
consumer. The term Of the COM
mission will be two years. 1t will
make Investigations in different
parts Of the United States. The
opinion is general that Congress has
created no more important board Of
inquiry in many years.
