Mrs. CIeNeInnd,s Courtesy.

The following pretty story is told of
Mrs. Grover Cleveland: At one of the pub
lie receptions given at the White House,
an old lady VINO was drawn up in the line
that was pushing its way forward to
shake hands with the Presidents wife,
dropped her handkerchief just before get
ting to Mrs Cleveland. She was too old
and rheumatic 10 stoop down and recover
it, and those back of her in the line were
too intent upon getting the one fleetng
glimpse possible of the mistress of the
White House to notice the old lady's loss,
and the handkerchief was trampled upon
roughly.
Just before the old lady reached her,
Mrs. Cleveland stepped out of her place
and deftly picked up the handkerchief,
tucked 1t in her dress, and taking her own
fresh one; which was of the most delicate
dainty lace, smilingly handed it to the old
lady with the sweet remark: please take
mine, and when you get home send II back
to me, will your" And when the handker-
chief came back to her Mrs. Cleveland re-
turned that of the owner, freshly laun-
dered, lying on the top of beautiful box
of rosebuds that came from the White
House conservatory

Remember the Maine"' How the echoes
hy
From North to South, from East to
West!
The dogs of war resound the cry
And call to battle the bravest and best
Old Glory waves DER glittering steel
AS battleships fly through the oceans
foam;
The call to arms is heavens appeal,
1t promises peace 10 a Cuban home
The power that leads Is still unseen;
The air is filled with the bugles call;
That murdeous hand God will not screen
The kingdom of Spain in its sin must
fall.
The spirit form of the gallant Maine
Is clearly seen by the sailors eye;
And the vision of those by treachery slain
In our country's memory will never die.
Unfurl to the world our flag so grand!
lis stars are a gift from the heavenly
dome
The colors are tints from the spirit land
Where our honored sailors have found a
home.
The Spirit Maine shall lead the way
With her snow-white PROV across the
sea,
And herald the dawn of a brighter day
The Island of Cuba shall now be free.
No blood-stained hand shall touch those
stars
That float from the mast of the Spirit
Maine;
The angel guards are her noble tars,
And the tyrants hand is raised in vain
Her sister ships shall cross the sea
In the foaming wake OF the Spirit Maine,
To answer the call of humanity
And free the Cubans from the yoke of
Spain.
The awful roar from the lannon's throat
That speaks for a nation whose cause is
right,
Re-echoes with heavens crashing note
And judgment speeds with the flashing
light.
The shadow of Justice on the wall
Points to the crimes of the Spanish
throne
The Maine, the blacklist deed Of all
Ever IN memory of nations known,
The Stars and Stripes shall ever wave
over the noble sons and daughters fair.
In memory of our martyrs brave
The world unites in silent prayer.
America stands for humanitys cause;
Our great peace-makers shall guard the
sea;
Her sons will defend our land and laws;
And thine, o Lord, shall the glory be.

Get the Troops Away quickly.

A dispatch from Siboney, Cuba, says
that only twenty-three new cases Of yell
low fever and three deaths from that dis
ease have been reported in the last twenty
four hours The word only in the dis
patch Is intended TO have a reassuring
effect but to those who know anything
about the yellow fever it viii have quite
contrary effect.
The fact must not be overlooked that the
fever made it's appearance only a few
days ago. Our soldiers nave been in Cuba
less than three weeks. To have twenty
three cases in twenty-four hours within a
few days after the disease appeared would
mean in any of the South Atlantic or Cuff
states an epidemic of large proportions
We do not know anything about the con-
ditions. so far as the yellow fever is con-
cerned, which prevail in Cuba, but it seems
to us that the governmeHt cannot act too
promptly in getting our soldiers away from
The Island or, at beast away from the
sea coast.
Gen. Shafter was led TO make extraor-
binary exertions to bring about the sur
render of Santiago by the desire to pre-
vent further loss of life among his sol
diers, as wen as to save the homes of the
people Of that place IL the yellow fever
gets a firm footing in his army 1t will
carry death 10 more of his soldiers than
would have the bullets of the Spaniards.
And that it viii get firm footing there
isn't much doubt, unless the army is
moved AT once from Cuba, or az least from
the coast to the high ground of the back
country.
The dispatch says that vigorous sani-
tary precautions have been taken to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. That
sounds very well, but who is there who
can say that the spread of the disease can
be prevented by such measures? If the
poison Is in the air no sanitary measures
that can be taken will arrest The disease.
The thing TO do and TO be done quickly.
is to get the soldiers away from their pres
ent surroundings. That is the best pre-
cautionary measure, in fact, The only one
that is certain TO save the Santiago army
from a genuine yellow fever epidemic.
Gen. Garcia, with his Cuban army, is full
" able to hold Santiago. After the Span
ish troops are sent back to Spain there
win be very few Spanish soldiers in San
tiago province, and there would be no dan
ger Of their attempting to recapture Santl-
ago.
We have no doubt that the government
has considered every phase of the situa-
ton but it will make a mistake if II
does not make all possible haste to gel
the soldiers out of their present quarters

A Champion sneezer.

Did you ever know a man who could
sneeze loud enough to break up camp
meeting, to stop the taking of testimony
in court, and cause a believing COW 10
stop in disgust and wonder what the noise
was that was drowning its thunderous
voice?" said an old fisherman last night,
according TO the Louisville Post.
On being informed that his sneezer was
entitled to cake and all the accessories
necessary to conduct an up-to-date bak-
cry, the gentleman consented to tell more
OF his sneezing friend. He said:
while fishing in a mountain town in
Eastern Kentucky last fall l went to the
village nearby one rainy morning to at
tend Circuit Court. The judge was deliv-
e1ing an impressive charge to the grand
jury and every ear was listening to catch
each word, when the stiffness of the
court was broken by an unearthy kerr
chew, ker-chew, ker-chew, ETC., etc, etc
The judge was Ihunderstuck, and In
stantly every eye was turned toward the
rear of the room, where a little unob-
trusve looking old farmer sat sneezing
as if his head were coming off. The
judge ordered the sheriff TO bring the IN
1ruder before the bench. The offender
came forward, and the judge had a fine
entered against the innocent cause of the
disturbance.
1.-TWO of the sneezers friends were
called, who testified to the mans good
character and high standing but said they
could hear him sneeze three miles any
day in the year. One said that the
sneezer once broke up a camp meeting
with a sneezing spell, and that he saw an
onraged bovine stop a thunderous below
ing fit TO look in wonder at the human
who could make more noise than a mad
! bull. But the old fellow couldn't help it,
and the fine was remitLed."

Reasons for n Populist Party.

Hon. J. r. Hogan, the Populist candi-

reasons in his Douglassville speech last
Tuesday. why the Populist party should
continue to have an existence in this
state. but he gave none at all why it
should have control of the state govern

leaves the impression that the mission Of
the Populists is to hold the Democratic
party in check-that the latter party will
give satisfaction in making, administer
ing and executing the laws provided the
Populist party keeps watchful eye upon
IL.
The people will not object to having
the Democratic party watched and if the
Popuiist party will be content to perform
that service and not become ambitious 10
take charge of the state there will be few
that will find fault with it. The people
don't want the Populist party TO get con-
trol Of affairs because they don't approve
of its principles, and they will take care
that IL doesn't get into power, but they
haven't a word to say II 1t is satisfied to
give its time and energies to keeping the
Democratic party straight

In his speech at Douglasville last Tues
day. Judge Hines, who has been nominated
for Congress of the Fifth district by the
Populists, said, in speaking of the fact
that the state has to pay $50 year for
an electric fan at the Governors mansion,
that when Hon. J. R. Hogan became
Governor there would be no electric fan
or fans at the mansion, because Hogan
wouldn't need an electric fan to fan him
to sleep" Judge Hines was safe in max
ing that statement. Mr.. Hogan will never
occupy the executive mansion.

The New York Tribune a day or two
ago had sensational story TO the effect
that the auxiliary cruiser Buffalo, for
merly the Nictheroy, which was recently
purchased from Brazil, had been found
unavailable as a warship, that she was to
be turned into a collier that an exorbi-
tant sum had been paid for her, and that
she was yellow fever infected. A most
emphatical denial as to all the points
raised has been entered by government
officials. 1t is to be hoped that the de-
NAL is correct. There are scandals
enough already in connection with the
war
