AS A COLONEL OR NOTHING.
Private Dalzell Would Prefer to Have
 Rank in This War.

Washington, June 14.-Private Dal- zell is in this city, visiting his daugh- ter. Mrs. McGarry, at- 124 D. street northeast, for a week or two. The pri- |vate is still the same old private. Age has not withered or custom stalled" the |exuberance of faithful enthusiasm and interest in public affairs When asked if Ee should again enlist as a private in the war for humanity, he replied quickly: No; excuse me. had three years of it in the ranks, and, like Artenius Wards man, who dined on crow once. and who declared he never hankered for crow afterward, believe have never sighed for the ear-pierc- ing fife or the spirit-stirring drum for the past three and thirty years. If go, 1 go as colonel or nothing
 In response to a question about the popularity of the president he said emphatically: You cannot tell any body in Ohio anything about McKin- ley. They know him from the ground up and have every confidence in his in tegrity and ability, and no patience with the carping criticism which calls his policy of conservatism and sound sense a Fabian policy of masterly in activity. Give him time enough and he will give the country just what they elected him for-an administra- tion to be proud of.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING.

Successful advertising is a lad der with many rounds. The higher you mount the nearer you reach the ultimate object-that is, profit. Each advertisement is a round in the ladder. In newspaper advertising there ought to be at least one new ad a week for 8 year-that means a 52-round ladder. At the end of twelve months. if good me dium is used. and if the ads themselves are good. the profit is pretty apt to be in reach. The good medium" in Phoenix is The Arizona Republican, published every day in the year, which presents daily more high class, high price advertising than any other paper in its field. The Re publican will cheerfully prepare your advertising for you. If you want good results patronize this paper.

HEAP BIG SHOOTING.

It is wonderful to think of the amount of steel in the form of projec- tiles which Admiral Sampson is throw ing against the forts and batteries at
 Santiago. Fortunately reason exists
 for believing that there is plenty more l where this came from, though even
 the contracts for shot and shell made
 by the government will hardly do more
 than maintain the supply. Every hours bombardment uses up some tens of tons of ammunition. To re- store to each ship its supply after the
 battle also means much labor And vessels carrying the projectiles to San tiago must have to be kept on the
 move at all times. Such firing as is reported to have taken place probably
 never was recorded in naval history,
 and if it has been known in land con- flicts probably only the Crimean war offers parallel. But one may incline l to the belief that the stories of the
 bombardment are not all true. For in- stance, the life of gun is not so very long, reckoned in discharges. That is, such Is the calculation of ordnance ex-
 perts. Perhaps, however, this war will
 prove that the experts either know
 nothing about American guns or that
 they have been greatly mistaken.

MRS. NELLIE sARToR1s TO WED
Daughter of General Grant to Wed g
 Confederate Veteran.

One of the most notable weddings
 this year will be the marriage of Mrs.
 Nellie Grant Sartoris to General Henry
 Kyd Douglass of Maryland. Mrs. U. IS. Grant will come to Sorrento this week, and with her will come Mrs. Sar- toris.
 The marriage of the daughter of General Grant to General Douglass is another of the many tokens of reunion of the north and the south. General Douglass is one of the old time sol diers, and was prominent figure in Bar Harbor life in the sos. He is oi a very striking parsonage, of a decided ly military bearing, and is million aire.
 General Douglass fought against the
 Union in the civil war. He has just been appointed assistant adjutantgen- eral in the army of the nation he once sought to disrupt, and is now in the south and expects to go to Cuba. He
 is the last surviving member of Stone
 wall Jackson's staff, and he is one of
 the noted military men of the last war Before Nellie Grant married Alger- non Sartoris, General Douglass was
 her admirer, and the gallant confeder- ate soldier has been very attentive since last summer, when he was al
 Sorrento. He will come here later in
 the season, and it is said that late ir
 the fall the daughter of General Grant
 will preside over the Douglass estate on the banks of the Potomac, at Ha-
 gerstown-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

There seems to be slight change ill the tone of the German press. Sneers at Yankees are less frequent, though hatred of the United States has not been materially modified But the Ger man mind is practical, if nothing else. and the question now asked is, What are we going to get out of it?" Ger man friendship cannot be had free of charge. The United States must make some concessions-a commercial treaty, say, like that with France, or a slice of territory in the Philippines. This is Bismarck's do ut des'' policy again. It may make a good working policy for Germany; and then it may not. For if the United States should go ahead on it's own hook what would happen? Would Germany have the courage to press her pretensions to the point of war? We guess not.

There vii be a general acquiescence in the decision of the New York court Of appeals confirming the verdict ol the lower court that Martin Thorn must die. Nobody doubts his guilt and why he should have expected to secure clemency is not clear The only regret that most people feel regarding the Guildensuppe case is that Mrs Mack, one of the most repulsve womeI in criminal history, should have been let off with a punishment comparative ly light. She was largely responsible for Thorn's wrongdoing and yet it is he who is to be executed, while she goes to prison for a term of years.

BARBER ZANOLI.
Sentenced to Nine Years in State Prison


 New York. June 14-Charles Zanoi. the weeping barber. was sentenced to State Prison for nine years and six months by Judge Newburger in the court of General Sessions today. Zanoli was charged with various crimes for the purpose of defrauding life insurance companies. It was even said that he committed murder in order to obtain in- surance money. The grand jury. how ever, did not think so and he was indict- ed on a charge of forging a check for $355 drawn upon the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company on July 16, 1896.
 In sentencing Zanoh Judge Newburger said: "If your case had not been han dled so carefully you might have stood before this bar charged with much more serious crime" Zanoli kept up h.s reputation by crying when sentence was imposed. As he was being led back to the Tombs he threw his arms about the neck of his counsel, Stephen J. O'Hare. and tried to kiss him. The lawyer would not have it.

Somebody suggests the laurel as our national flower. It is a fine blossom. but it does not last very long, and what would we do for a symbol at other seasons of the year? The fact ic that there can hardly be any one national flower. None is sufficiently distinctive, and if we bestowed such an honor upon any one it would have to be an arbitrary choice. There is no bloom that is peculiarly American. and none that answers all the require

SPANISH LIES.

| The humor of the war consists large 1 ly of the Spanish version of aggressive
 acts upon the part of the American
 navy. From Madrid and from Havana
 are sent out glowing accounts of Span ish victories and American defeats. The Spanish masses are served with lies pure and simple and they are de-
 luded and deceived until the truth can
 be held back no longer The battle of
 Manila was Spanish victory at first,
 and when the truth came out Spain
 was torn by riots and threats of a civil
 revolution. Every shot fired by an American ship is magnified into a
 Spanish victory, and it is probable
 that the Spanish people are not yet aware of the true inwardness of the sinking of the steamer Merrimac in Santiago harbor.
 Deception is a chronic habit of the Spaniard, high or low. It is as diff cult for Spaniard to tell the truth as 1t is for him to fire cannon with eff lfectiveness. The average Spaniard Ih hates to tell the truth and the govern nent officials are no exception. The
 marvel of it all is that this policy of lying and deception has been going on for centuries and the masses tolerate it and swallow 1t for the gospel truth. It was so in the time of Philip II just as it Is tOdoy. Philip was supplied vf.ifh fo1
 turn served them out to his cabinet, and they dished them up for the public. In time, however, few survivors of the Armada reached home half dead, while thousands of men and sixty-odd vessels never came back. But Spain still insists upon pointing with pride to the Invincible Armada
 Montijo's fleet slumbers at the bot tom of Manila bay. Cervera's fleet is corked up in Santiago harbor, with one of the ships there knocked into splin- ters and scrap iron, according to Spanish dispatch. Camara's fleet at Cadiz is becoming moss-covered and barnacle-encrusted, while the boilers are rusty and sparrows are nesting in the great guns. The rest of the Span isl navy-well, there is no more of it.
 In spite of the hopeless condition of the late Spanish navy the Madrid gov ernment and Blanco at Havana in turn insists that the Spanish sailors are doing admirably. and that at least nine American vessels have been knocked out. Xlother dispatch of Spanish origin says that the American lost fifteen hundred men near Santi- ago. All of which is to delude the
 Spanish masses with the idea that
 Spain is crushing the Americans day after day. One object of these absurd and sometimes humorous reports is to keep up the struggle so as to give the Weylers and the Blancos an opportun ity to steal as long as a peseta can be drawn out of the pockets of the peo- pie. Another object sought by the promulgation of these lies is to hold back as long as possible the revolution that is bound to come in Spain and to hold up the tottering throne of the decayed dynasty for a few months.

ments. By the way, what do we want a national flower for, anyway?

In letter dated April 30, 1883, Gen. eral Grant informed General Badeaa from personal inspection that the forts and armament of Havana were form idable, and, with additions that could easily be made before any country could attack them, impregnable from direct attack But General Grant in 1883 had hardly dreamed of the mighty guns in service today.

ADJUSTMENTS.

POPULAR "CHIMMIE FADDEN."
On Monday evening, at the Grand
Opera House. Wilmington theatre-go-
eFs will see the great New York and
Boston success, "Chimmie Fadden.
This piece was one of the mcst pro-
n0unced artistic and financial hits of
last season. 1t began an engagement
I'm New York city carly last January,
and became so permanently popular
that it ran to crowded houses until the
end of May making a consecutive run
of nearly five months. The astonishing
success Of the play is due to a variety
of causes; the first probably being that
the authors have constructed a dra-
matte work of intense and continuous
interest, eniivened by thoroughly matt
ural comedy incidents, punctuated with
several startling climaxes and involv-
ing a great variety Of characterizatiOns.
While the play is undoubtedly "the
thing" Charles i. Grapewin's intelli-
gent, forceful and unctuous portrayal
of the uncouth, but gOod-hearted, hero,
"Chimmie Fadden," has certainly had
much to do with the popularity and
prosperity Of the drama Ii must not
be imagined that "Chimmie Fadden" is
anything like the rough Bowery plays
of the day While some of it's chaTac-
ters are of the slums, the tone of the
piece is distinctly high and on a plane
with the best society plays Of the time

to her, "and / viii rcjoin you before

"All right" she replied, and he hur-
rled into the office.
Unconsciously she turned off on the
intersecting street and went saunter-
ing along, expecting him to catch up
with her every minute.
Meanwhile, the young official trans
acted his business, came cut of the Of

saw a glrlish figure q little over q
square Off Thinking that his girl was
endeavoring to play a joke on him by
hurrying so, ne accommodated his gait

another square before, finally, he sidled
up to her, with the remark:
"Oh. ! don't knOw-you're not so
many"
"Sirl" exclaimed the young woman,
and she turned her indignant face to-
wards him.
He WIS astounded, for 90 was not his
girl at all, but a perfect stranger, and
she was lighting mad.
