Before the Day.

We wakened at the dawning, but we

Oh! our love was sweet and certain till

Ay, we wakened at the dawning, but we
never saw the day.
There were buds within our garden but
they never came TO flower;
There were birds among our bushes, but
they never sang an hour.
And we laughed to see the swallow, but
the summer did not follow;
There were buds within our garden, but
they never came to flower.
'Tis a garment white and silken, tbs a
white and misty veil,
'Tis a pair of little slippers-O dear love!
SO white and frail.
Is the manhood in me dying that I'M sit

O er a garment and slipper and a, never
opened veil?
Dear, the world is empty-empty as the
gemless golden band,
The token 1 had fingered and that never
found your hand.
They've been telling me the story of an
everlasting glory;
But you were the only preacher L could
ever understand.

never saw the day:
And we spoke our little prologue, but we
never reached the play.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
Of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
hammatory Rheumatism, which though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that / was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March suffered agony. tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me-
Upon the advice of a friend / decided to
try s. s. 8. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pro-
nounced it free OF potash or mercury.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.
All Is Quiet In acknowledgements Com
ments en- the Courts Report.

Havana, March 26.-All is quiet
here. Neither the information from
the American court of inquiry nor the
war rumors have been able, to produce
any sentiment among the volunteers
or other Spanish bodies. They take
everything coolly, awaiting develop
ments. They do not believe peace viii
be interrupted by the report of the
American court, and they seem to feel
certain that arbitrators will declare
that the explosion occurred inside and
not outside the Maine.
La Lucha, in an editorial says
Captain Sigsbee's request to allow
him to blow up the rest Of the wreck
was most innocent, destroying 1t so
that the arbitrator would not be able
to verify any examination in the fut-
ure, and SO as to render it impossible
to lind out if the explosion was from
Nthe inside or from without"
La Lucia adds.
Inc American court has not taken
proper time to examine the wreck"

American court was Influenced by

OXFORD TRlUMPHS.
The Dark Blues Win the Annual Boat
Race from the Cambridge Varsity
CreW-.-Cantahs Were Outclassed.
They We're Beaten Almost from the
Word.

Putney, Eng, March 26.-The fifty
fifth annual boat race between crews
representing Oxford and Cambridge
was rowed to-day over the usual course
from Putney to Mort Lake, four and
one-quarter miles, and was easily won
by Oxford. 1t was really a walkover.
The day was overcast with occasion
ally fine rain falling and cold east
wind blowing.
The captains of the crews and the
coaches held a conference, and decided
in view of the unfavorable conditions,
which looked likely to grow worse
during the afternoon, that the start
should not take place until late in the
day. This plan was followed.
Oxford won the toss which, with the
prevailing wind was regarded as as
surfing them the race.
The two crews embarked at 3: 40 p.
NJ, and the two boats got away at
3:45 p. N. At the Dukes Head, soon
after the start, Cambridge was leading
and the light blues were a quarter of
a length ahead of the dark blues at
Clasper's boat house. AT the Crab
Tree, about one mile and a. quarter
from the start, Oxford was leading by
three lengths At the soap works.
about one mile and threS-quarters
from the start, Oxford was leading by
four lengths, which lead the dark blues
maintained while passing Hammer
smith bridge. At the Doves, a little
over two miles from the start, Oxford
was still leading by four lengths. By
that time Cambridge was pulling
short.
At Chiswick church, two miles and
three-quarters from the start, the race
had developed into a procession and
was regarded as a certainty for OK
ford. When Thorny Crofts works
were reached, three miles from the
start, the dark blues were leading by
five lengths. At Barnes bridge, three
and two-thirds miles from the start,
Oxford was As seconds ahead. They
rowed home twelve lengths in the
lead.
The Cambridge crew stopped off the
ship at Mort Lake thoroughly exhaust
ed and with their boat half full of
water.
Oxford has now won 80 out of As
races rowed with Cambridge, and has
been the winner nine years in success
sion.
The time was % minutes and Is Sec

The race was probably never rowed

has been compromised the vast ma
jority of Americans would as soon the
inevitable were commenced, that it
may be the sooner ended.
If hostilities are to result, they may
be brought about in number of
ways. For instance, there may be a
formal declaration of war by Con-
gress; there may be interven-
ton by this country in Cuba, which
Spain will resent; there may be a
declaration of war by Spain; there
may be a gradual but rapid drifting
into hostile contention by the two
powers without any formal action by
either, or hostilities may be precipi-
tated by the firing Of a shot by the
commander of a vessel on one side
or the other, or, finally there may be
some indignity offered some American
official, either in Spain or Cuba, which
may be forcibly resented by this gov
eminent. A revolver shot or a slap
in the face may start cannon to boom
ing at this stage of the situation.
But whether we shall have peace or
war, one thing is certain: The free
dom of Cuba is assured, and
the end of Spanish control in the
Western Hemisphere is in sight. Cuba
Libre is an assured fact, and the Queen
of the Antilles will soon take her place
among the nations of the earth.

THE HOLLAND
Seems to Be Working Nicely---She
May Be a Factor When the Fight
ing Gets Under Way.

New York, March 26.-The subma-
rine boat Holland was given another
trial to-day. She left her pier at the
Raritan dry docks shortly after noon
and accompanied by the tug Sallie z.
Linderman, proceeded toward Totem
vile. Mr.. Holland was in charge of
the new craft. After running short
time on the surface, the vessel vas
submerged, bow first, until all that was
above the surface were the flag poles.
The vessel came up bow first, show
ing that she had been turned under
water and was perfectly under the con-
troll of the inventor. This perform
ance was repeated several times. 1t
was only by the aid Of the flag poles
that the officials of the Holland ccm-
pany on the tug Linderman were able
to follow her. She remained in the
Sound over two hours and her trial
was successful in every particular.

will work from noon until midnight,
and they will relieve each other from

For several weeks the officials have
been working the force in three shifts
of eight hours each. but the failure to
secure the requisite number of hands
to push the work as rapidly as they
desire causes the change in their
plans. Captain Pendleton, who is in
charge, also says the work should not
be in the hands of three different men,
as it is too important.
Guns are being turned out rapidly
and prepared for shipment to the war
ships. Several large thirteen-inch
guns are being given the finishing
touches, and large number of smaller
calibre will soon be ready for bust
