Scrofuious Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on MS chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hood Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it 10 our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
hin, four bottles of Hoods Sarsa parilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

The Great Ground Mnn.

Senator Quay proposed yesterday an
amendment to the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill that is entitled to favorable con-
sideration by Congress. The amendment
creates a commission whose duty it shall
be to make inquiry into the feasibility of
constructing in this city or District
ground map of the United States as orig
inally proposed by Senator Cannon. Read
ers of The Star are probably already famil-
lar with this project, which commends it
self TO the patriotic sympathies of all citi-
Gems The latest proposal in connection
with the map plan is that it be located on
the northern half of the reclaimed flats of
the Potomac. now known to the law as
Potomac Park. The contour of this land is
peculiarly adapted to the purpose, curiously
resembling the outlines of the United
States at many points. Owing to this SINH
larity ii is probable that the work of con-
structing the map could be done at that
point AT minimum of cost. The commits
sion proposed by Senator Cannons original
resolution and provided for by this amend
ment would inquire closely into the item of
cost as of the first importance There is
some divergence of opinion as to the prac-
ucability of reproducing the principal geo
logical and geographical features of the
United States on such a large scale as is
proposed in such manner as to insure per-
manence in all conditions Of the atmos-
phere. The exposure of this great map to
the elements would perhaps initiate against
Its durability unless it were constructed of
some such practically permanent material
as asphalt or cement. Such questions
however. are to be determined best and
indeed only by board of experts, and the
small expenditure provided for by the
quay amendment is to be considered as an
excellent investment toward securing de-
sirable store of information on this inter-
esting subject.

Two Brave Elevator Bows,

Chicago was visited by another de-
structive fire yesterday which demon
strated that without the employment of the
greatest precautions modern large build
ing occupied by miscellaneous tenants in
commercial pursuits is most dangerous
potentiality. The flames found the elevator
shafts convenient tiues and the draft thus
caused contributed to the almost immedi-
ate destruction of the entire structure.
These fires are appalling So many of them
have occurred in Chicago of late that the
city seems fated to suffer at frequent in
tervals from the element that marked It
early in its career for one of the mo5t
wholesale distinctions the world has ever
known In yesterdays fire two elevator
boys distinguished themselves by their
GOODNESS and bravery and doubtless saved
many lives. Though the fire was fast
gaining ground and there seemed no hope
that lit might be checked, these boys
continued their work of rescue, running
their cars up and down the heated shafts
and conducting several scores to the ground
in safety. The cars were abandoned BY
the plucky fellows only when the frame
work at the top of the shafts began to burn
and it was certain that the cars would fall

boys should not be forgotten by the COM
munity.

Spain has no hope for success for au-
tonomy in Cuba. and has never had The
scheme was born of a trick. and was ex-
posed in the famous letter of Senior de
LONE to Senior Canalejas. In that letter. 1t
will be remembered Senior de LONE stated
explicitly that only through some pro-
nounced military success could Spain hope
to carry the day in Cuba. Autonomy and
reciprocity would answer as pawns in the
game but the Spanish reliance must be on
the effective use of arms.
No one will dispute the right of Senior de
LONE to speak in the premises, or under
value his appraisement of the situation.
There is every reason to believe LAT the
propositions of autonomy and reciprocity
originated with him. and were intended as
maneuvers in the game of delay which,
from the first he engineered, it must be
admitted, with a considerable degr"o of
success. But it so befell him-the most
astute and skillful trickster may look
for such hard fortune-that his hand
was exposed and his whole game given
away at a time the most inopportune for
him and his country. Just when the So
called autonomous government was form
ing IN Cuba, and dates for the elections
We're being canvassed. Senior de Lome's let
ter appeared in print and wet-blanketed
the whole insincere proceeding.
But although Senior de Lomes letter
clnched the matter. it was not necessary
to show the futility of Spain's new move.
When the insurgent leaders rejected au-
tOnoE1y its fate was sealed. The bait was
intended for them and they promptly
fused it. They put it Immediately under
the ban, and summarily executed more
than one Spanish emssary who approached
them with it. And even in Spanish circles,
where General Weyler is venerated as a
hero, it has never found moments favor
in Cuba.
Spain commands therefore neither respect
nor serious attention when she undertakes
to make the success of this already reject
ed scheme depend upon the withdrawal of
the American fleet from Florida waters.
Before there was thought of concentrate
ing those ships there, and, indeed, while
the only ships of the American navy in
those waters were doing patrol duty for
Spain in watching filbusterers. autonomy
for Cuba was very generally recognized as
being. next to a door NAIL the deadest thing
in the world.

The South Atlantic Coast.

While there was not the slightest reason
to expect a different response, there has
been the livliest satisfaction felt and ex-
dressed at the response the south has made
in the face of the threatened war between
Spain and the United States. Her people
have spoken as with one voice. and that in
pledge of devotion to the interests of the
whole country. Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Texas, are as loyal to
the Stars and Stripes as ever they were to
the Stars and Bars, and the ex-Confeder-
ates living within their borders will be
among the first to enlist in case the Union
needs defenders.
If war comes, the South Atlantic coast is
likely to feel the brunt of any attack that
Spain may be able TO make on this country.
Spain's base of supplies must be Cuba, and
as long she holds the island she will
necessarily have to direct her attacks at
those points on our coast nearest Cuba.
Her lighting ships could not carry a supply
of coal Sufficient to enable them to make a
long cruise to the north and run the risk
of delays. But from Norfolk down, every
coast city of any consequence would require
vigilant protection.
This would bring the north and the south
together in circumstances of the closest

eracy the spectacle CT a war waged for the
reunited country under the Old flag would
present the perfect realization of all pa
triotic dreams. And that such a war would
DE waged with the utmost yigor admits of
not the slightest doubt. North and south
would alike be on their mettle, the one to
honor the flag it had once opposed, and the
other to honor and help defend the section
now giving evidence of such thorough
brotherhood and determined spirit
1t is not unlikely that Spain has been
misled on this point. She has had from one
source CT another good deal of misinfor-
nation about the United States. She may
have calculated on some advantage from
attacking a section of the country repre-
scented to her as lukewarm in matters of
national moment. But she will find if she
clears her decks for action that an attack
en- any American seacoast city now, north
OF south, will meet with a reply represent
irg in its warmth the fire and feeling and

Manifest Destiny for Our Institutions
From the New York Independent

What we sometimes call the manifest
destiny of our country is not the express
sion of jingoism or megalomania. We fully
believe that our institutions are worth eX-
tending. We do not seek or desire TO do 1t
by force; but we believe that it is better
for regions geographically connected to be
united rather than to be rivals and posi-
Bile enemies. There is prevailing mega
lophoDia which all the time dotes on dan
gers, which has no confidence in the
strength of goodness and patriotism, which
sees only corruption and boss rule. 1t may
be our duty to intervene in Cuba, in our
own interests and the interests of human
ity: only the craven fear of being great
will stand in the way. 1t may be our duty
TO take responsibilities for the good gov
eminent of neighboring territory in Ha-
wall or Cuba. There are those who believe
our institutions to be imperiled by stepping
into the water, whose Encyclopaedia has
developed into hydrophobia.

No Time for "a Quarrel.
From the London Chronicle.

The Alaska boundary has been a disputed
enc for long time. 1t is precisely one of
those questions fitted for amicable decision
by familiar methods, and certainly neither
this country ner the United States would
be willing to make difficulties at this mo-
rnent. Americans have shown their SYM
pathy for US, in our attempt to preserve
China for the trade OF the world; we as a
people have profound sympathy with them
in the position of really terrible perplexity
and responsibility in which they have been
placed by the action of Spain in Cuba and
the appalling catastrophe which has over
taken them in the matter. This is no time
for quarrel over few miles of Alaskan
wilderness. The people who settled the
Venezuelan difficulty without unsheathing
the sword, will not draw on each other Just
DOW out of mere "superfiuity of naughti-
ness"
