In batch of opinions handed down in
the supreme court yesterday, three Van
Buren county cases were decided: First
National Bank vs. Sherman estate %, af

Late Saturday afternoon, the house on
b. O'DelPs farm in Lawrence township
was burned with all its contents. Mr..
ODelPs son Bert and family lived there.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
loss is about 81 200, insured as follows:
S4OO on the house, $50 on contents and
$50 on wind mill, all in the Cass County
Mutual.
The Northerner received a pleasant
call yesterday from Lewis A. Moon of
halispel, Mont, a Paw Paw boy who is
growing up with the country" in the
great West. He is now express agent
at his home, and is spending a vacation
here. He is enthusiastic over the re-
sources of Montana and its opportunities
for young men.

representing farming in the West"
The stamps are of similar shape and size

An electric light had accidentally been

after the marriage had been returned
the error was finally corrected.

FIGHTING TO-DAY
SEEMS PROBABLE AT sANTIAG o-sPANIARDs
REFUSE TO SURRENDER.

Yesterday morning. according to late
dispatches, Gen. Toral sent out a reply
to Gen. Skaters second demand for the
unconditional surrender of Santiago,
made Monday. In his reply Gen. Toral
referred to his previous refusal to sur
render and reiterated his determination
to resist. The American troops now
completely surround the city, the bat
teries are placed at points of advantage,
and it seems probable that the final
bombardment, which cannot fail to re-
suit in Spanish surrender, will be on to-
day. There is an unconfirmed dispatch
from Kingston, Jamaica, which is not
generally credited, that Santiago has al
ready capitulated.
Gen. Miles is now at Santiago, but Gen.
Shafter remains in command of the
forces. Large reinforcements have ar
rived for Shafter.
1t is reported that Premier Sagasta
has resigned and recommended a ministry
of the military party. This is looked up
on as the first step towards peace, as
the military alone could prevent revo-
luton in Spain if territory is given up
as means of securing peace. The be-
lief that the war is near an end grows
stronger every day. Unless Spain sues
for peace soon, Commodore Watson will
surely start powerful feet for the coast
of Spain.
The Spanish navy is so powerless that
the mines will be removed from the
harbors of the United States.
Unofficial reports indicate that all of
Cervera's feet are hopeless wrecks ex-
cept the Maria Teresa, which may be
saved and rebuilt.

PROPOSITION DEFEATED.

The special election Monday resulted
in an overwhelming majority in favor
of the issuance of $4,000 of waterworks
bonds, the vote being 217 to 31-exactly
to l. Only 251 names appeared on the
poll list-a very light vote-and some
neglected to vote on each proposition.
The 5000 sewer bonds were defeated
by vote of 14S to 7S-a little less than
the required two-thirds majority being
given.

will smear the face and daub the ap-
parel despite all precautions. AS to the
flavor Of the mango, and no one would
bother with the extremely sloppy fruit
If 1t were not for real enjoyment Of the
flavor, it is possible to make a trial
trip. Set a large clingstone peach to
soak over night in diluted turpentine
and the next morning it will satisfac-
torily suggest the first taste of the
mango. The smack Of turpentine and
resin is most prominent in the skin, but
it is quite marked in the Juice and pulp.
After cultivating the taste most people
consider the mango the finest fruit Of
the tropics, and recognize dozen va
rieties by the varying strength Of the
turpentine. But no amount Of cultiva-
ton Of the taste will ever avail to solve
the real trick Of the mango, that is, to
eat 1t without needing bath after

BLOCKADE RUNNING

Stakes-HoW It Is Played.

only at the final destination, con-
demned the vessels when there was
evidence of an ultimate intention to
break the blockade This decision rest
ed upon an old principle OF the English
prize courts, known as the doctrine OF
continuous voyages, according to which
the mere touching at an intermediate
port of a vessel engaged in an illegal
voyage could not break the continuity
Of the voyage, or remove the faint Of
illegality. Hence, IL vessel cleared
from Liverpool with the intention Of
merely touching at Nassau, thence pro-
ceeding to Charleston, and if this in
tention could be proven from the pa
pers, the character of the cargo, and
the examination of persons on board,
the two voyages were held to be one,
and the condemnation followed.
Another course pursued by the block
ade running merchants was to send
their cargoes to Nassau, and there
transship them, sometimes directly
from vessel to vessel in the harbor,
sometimes after being landed on the
wharf, and then transported in new
conveyance to the blockaded port. Re-
turn cargoes were transshipped in the
same way. This course had double
advantage. It made continuity Of trans
action much more difficult Of proof and
enabled those engaged in the trade to
employ two different classes Of vessels
for service for which each was special
ly adapted. But the expedient was
transparent, and any such vessels that

London has had school of medi-
cine for women nearly quarter OF
century, but during most of that time
the enterprise has had to encounter
the prejudice and opposition which
every attempt to invade masculine
monopoly always creates. In England.
as elsewhere, the experiment so vehe-
mently denounced has slowly won ap-
proval, and now that some magnifi-
Gently equipped laboratories are added
to the school the final disappearance of
all apprehension is to be marked in the
way most conclusive to British minds.
In other words, the new buildings are
to be opened and dedicated by the
princess of Wales. 1t has often been
stated by the critics Of women doctors
that they have never done any original
work, but hitherto the answer has been
ready that women have had in this pro-
fession only the most meager oppor-
tunities for display Of anything more
than knowledge and skill. In London
for the future all such drawbacks will
cease, for no medical school could be
better provided with the means Of in
vestigation than that of the women.
The structure to be opened on July II
forms the eastern end of the plan that
is to be completed as soon as funds
can be collected, and which will have
an imposing frontage on Hunter street,
Brunswick square. Including the base
ment, in which the study of physics
will be pushed, the building is of four
stories. Upon the second floor is the
department for physiological study, its
long tables furnished with abundant
water supply and smaller marble tanks.
An electric lamp is suspended over
each students place, and an arc lamp
of great power will be available for
lantern demonstrations. The dissect-
ing room at the top of the building
is lighted from the roof, and has gran
olithc paving in warm terra Gotta
color for the floor. The walls are lined
with glazed tiles of pretty shade OF
green, while slabs of dark slate let into
them will serve as blackboards to the
lecturers. On the ground floor is the
chemical laboratory, distempered in
cream color, but as this will be used
for the opening ceremony it's fittings
are not as yet fixed. There are Of
course teachers rooms and apartments
for smaller classes on each floor. The
stairs are broad and easy, and are of
concrete. Space has been kept for a
demonstration theater, which will be
begun if possible, in the autumn, and
between the present and the projected
wings will be preserved pleasant

Discovery and Chase.
When blockade runner is sighted
then 1t is all excitement on board the
ships of the blockading squadron. The
one that sees her first gives the signal
by hosting flag, II in the daytime,
or sending off a rocket or displaying a
light If at night. The squadron is al
ways ready for action, and the instant
the anchors are slipped the ships are
off at full speed. The chase Is on. Ana
now comes interplay the skill and co'lr-
age of the captain of the blockade run
ner. 1t is squadron of armed SHIPS
against his defenseless vessel. He I'M
derstands the risks he takes-his vessel
may be sunk, if he is captured the least
he can hope for is a parole, while ne
loses his vessel and cargo. He is never
more seen to be the master on his own
deck than at time like this. AS the
shots that threaten destruction are n.y.
ing about him and every moment seems
his last, he is directing engineer
watching the pursuing fleet and study
ing a way OF escape all at the same
time, In blockade running, as in many
other things, 1t is the unexpected that
usually happens. The captain may
make a sudden move for which the
squadron is not instantly prepared, run
under its very guns and escape to port
This was frequently done during the
civil war; it would be less likely to sue
coed at the present time.
During the war of the rebellion, the
number of prizes brought in was LAB;
of these 21D were steamers. Besides
there were 800 vessels burned, sunk

were caught were condemned by the
court.
AS a last resort, bold and an orig
inal plan was adopted. AS cargoes
from Liverpool to Nassau ran risk OF
capture. the voyage was broken again,
this time not by neutral destination,
but by one in the country OF the very
belligerent whom the trade was to m
lure. Goods were shipped to New YORK
by the regular steamship lines to pc
carried thence to Nassau, and so to
find their way to the blockaded terri
tory. 1t was supposed that the United
States would not interfere with COM
meroe between its own ports and those
of a neutral. This expectation, now
ever. was not we'll founded. AS soon as
Il was discovered at New York that the
trade with Nassau and Bermuda was
assuming large proportions instruc-
tions were issued to collectors OF Gus
toms in the United States to refuse
clearance to vessels which, whatever
their ostensible destination, were be-
lieyed to be intended for southern
ports. or whose cargoes were In imml-
nent danger of falling into the hands
of the enemy, and if there was merely
ground for apprehension that cargoes
were destined for the enemys use, the
owners were to be required to give
ample security.

As a military measure the blockade
ia of vital importance. 1t has been
commonly said with regard to the civil
conflict that without it hostilities
would have been protracted much long
or. and would have been far more bit
ter and bloody than they were. Its
peculiar Importance lay in the isola-
ton of the southern states, and in their
dependence upon the outside world
for the necessaries Of life. The only
neutral frontier was along the hio
Grande, and the country for many
miles on both sides of the boundary
offered few facilities for trade or trans
portation. All supplies had to come
from the seaboard, and the peculiarl!

Welded Under Difficulties.

A Georgia rural editor thus describes
an accident that occurred during we'd
ding ceremony: "The bride, looking
the picture of loneliness, stood under
the swinging chandelier. So did the
bridegroom. The bridegroom was over
six feet two, and, in bowling his re-
sponses to the minister's questions, he
accidentally tilted the chandelier,
which overturned a kerosene lamp, the
oil of which spattered all over the
brides dress and the minister's broad
cloth coat. To say that the bridegroom
was mad would not do justice to his
feelings. But he restrained himself,
and supported the bride to the front

necessity.
During the early part Of the war
blockade running was carried on from
the capes of the Chesapeake to the
mouth of the Rio Grande. Vessels OF
all sorts and sizes were engaged In 1t,
but the most successful were the steam
ers that had belonged to the southevn
coasting lines which found themselves
thrown out of employment when war
broke out.
Familiarity with the coast was al
most essential to successful blockade
running, more especially when dark,
moonless night were usually selected
for the task. A sharp lookout had to
be kept for cruisers on the outside
blockade, and the blockade runner, by
keeping at a distance, could generally
pass them unobserved. II by accident
or carelessness he came very close, he
would press ON all steam and take to
his heels, trusting to speed to get
away. He never hove to when ordered,
for 1t was usually as hard to hit him
as to overtake him. The run past the
inshore squadron was always a critical
moment for the latter. 1t was no easy
matter on a dark night to hit, much
less to stop, small and obscure vessel
running at Is knots whose only object
was to pass by. The service called into
action all the faculties Of the blockade
runner. 1t required cool head, strong
nerve, superb courage and ready re-
source. It was a combat Of skill and
pluck against force and vigilance. The
excitement of fighting only was want
ing. II a blockade runner should fire
shot he would constitute himself a
pirate and be liable to death If cap
tured. The bloclader is in every way
at disadvantage. He has no objective
point save the blockade runner, and he
never knows when he is coming. He
can choose nothing, but must take tho
circumstances as they happen to come.
and they are pretty sure to be unfavor-
able. He is compelled to wait in the
worst of ali situations-incessant
watchfulness combined with prolonged
inaction. He spends days and nights

THE REAL MANGO TRICK.
II Il to Eat the Fruit without Necesss

Some people take to olives, caviare,
and complicated cheese without any
preliminary training, by sort Of in
stinct. They are SO very few that they
serve only as limited proof Of the doc
trines Of heredity and atavism. The
mango of the tropics falls In the same
class, fact which Gen. Merritt's army
of occupation is going to discover for
itself as soon as it begins the soldiers
soulful investigation Of the Indigenous
commissariat of the Philippines. The
mango is of the size Of large apple
and something the shape Of pear that
has turned a somersault and has land
ed on the stem big end to. Its color Is
a rich and dark green with a blotch or
salmon on one side. 1t Is impossible
to bite into 1t as one would into pear
for two reasons the skin is too tough
and the stone is fully half as large as
the whole fruit The only way Is to
nibble off the skin, for 1t is too juicy
to be pared; gnaw the skin off one side
until considerable portion Is exposed
of the red flesh. Then suck In the
Juices and the meat together until the
stone presents itself. The next feat is
to get the stone and the other side OF
the fruit inb the mouth while leav-
ing the remainder Of the skin outside
and clear of the meat. In this ungrace-
full operation one speedily learns that
the mango belongs to the natural order
Of clingstones. The remainder Of the
process is to eject the stone, which Is
an uncomfortably large mouthful.
When one has eaten all the mangos he
