Some one once wrote a sentimental
song about the Tight in the window
for me-" and ever since that time the
light in the window has figured in
poetry and song to a greater extent,
and in a more sentimental manner,
than it is entitled to- The cold truth is
that when there is a light in the win
dow, it means some one is sitting up to
give the last one to come home a scold-
ing, or advice about the good sense of

window is something that a nagged
person never fails to see, and when his
eyes first see it in turning a corner he
gets a cold chill and longs for a home

France is glad to adopt Jules Ferry's

Immediately following a birthday
party at Mrs. Mary Berkey's residence,
last evening, which was given to the
young folks in honor of little Miss Beulah

prise was sprung upon Miss Fanny Smell.
The little folks were taken to their homes
in the tally ho, being escorted by Misses
Dopp and Smell, and upon returning to the
house Miss Smell was astonished to find a
gathering of the Ladies of the Macca-

when Miss Cassie Dopp stepped forward
and on behalf of the order presented her
with a beautiful fraternity pin with her
name engraved thereon. The occasion
of the gift was Miss SHELLS birthday
which was the day before. He. delight

DELOME RECALLED
The Letter Insulting President Mckinley
ArOuses Indignation.

The Letter Insulting President Mckinley
ArOuses Indignation.
Washington, Feb. o-It is reported al
the state department tina: the Spanish
government has recalled Senor De Lone.
Assistant Secretary Day had a confer.
ence with the president and then after
being closeted with Solicitor Springfield
of the state department made the follow
ing guarded statement:
"In the absence of any certain knowl-
edge that the letter published in the
newspapers is authentic, the department
must decline to discuss what action, if
any, it may take, or whether it will take
any action to discover the authenticity
of the letter"
Notwithstanding this diplomatic state
ment. there is reason for believing that
Woodford has been telegraphed concern
ing the letter with instructions to enquire
concerning it. There is little doubt De
Lone is about to be recalled. If he is
not recalled within two or three days he
will be dismissed by this government, as
it has in some mysterious way learned
that DeLome is not able to satisfactorily
disprove the authorship of the letter.

CUBANS CAPTURE.ALETTER.
Senior De LONE Says Some Uncomplimen
tary Things About Mckinley.


New York, Feb. o-The New York
junta is pluming itself upon securing the
letter alleged to have been written by
Minister DeLome to Senor Canelejas in
Havana. The letter is declared to be
genuine. being written on the paper OF
the Spanish legation and in the well
known chlrography of DeLome. The
fac simile of the original was published
this morning and is in accord with the
translation made public yesterday. The
insult to the president is there in pure
Spanish and bears all the evidences of
genuineness. The only thing that might
cast doubt on the letter is the fact that
it is given out by the enemies of Cuba
and that it is hard to believe that Senor
DeLome would trust such sentiments to
paper. y2s
