A valuable lesson in bird hunting was
given T. e. Curtis dog Tip at Belfast,
the other day, says the Maine Sports
man. Having secured a partridge, it
was let loose in the store, and Tip was
allowed to tree him on the top shelves.
All went we'll until the bird flew
through one of the back windows and
escaped, but Tip was equal to the emer-
gehcy, for after a sharp run around
the buiding he flushed the bird in
the grass and caught it before it could
fly Pretty good work for a ten
months old puppy. It's all owing to
the difference in locality. That's all
right in Maine, where they tree birds
and then shoot them; but here in Mas
sachusetts, sportsmen expect their dogs
10 stand" the birds and not chase or
catch them. If Tip had cut up such
antics in Worcester, he would no doubt
have been severely reprimanded by his
owner.

Art in service is the freest and ma
olest OF all, said Kenyon Cox in the
analysis of mural decoration which ac
companied his illustrated article on
the work of the late Puvis de Cha
vannes in the Century, some time ago.
Mr. Cox went long way in coming to
belief that the day of the isolated
easel picture is nearly ended. But
with some laws that he lays down
artists and amateurs must all agree
For example, 1.-THE great law of dec
Grafton is that the ornament should
set off ard embellish, but never dis
guise the thing ornamented; and in
mural painting this thing is the wall.
and its ESSENTIAL qualities of fatness
and extent should be accentuated. not
concealed. That is a good point for a
student to think of who wishes to
know why the fiat panel pictures in
the library are high art Art is in
service in decorating the wall, and the
stair panels wait their turn

Paris. Oct. S0.-The United States and
Spanish peace commissioners held a
brief joint meeting yesterday, the Span
iards asking an early adjournment. The
assigned reason for the delay is believed
to have been to allow an interchange of
communications with Madrid and to
formulate final attitude on the Cuban
matter. This attitude of the Spaniards.
to be developed tomorrow, will be
watched with no little interest. Their
alternatives are few but pregnant.
They may accede to the American at
titude, themselves assume the Cuban
debt and go forward to consider the next
protocol point, of Porto Rico and the
choice by the United States of an island
in the Ladrone group; or they may at
this juncture formally ask for arbitra-
ton, or. as an extremity which is not
likely, may retire from further nego-
tiations.
The SpaniarGs may not yet be wholly
convinced that the United States did
not make war with Cuban annexation as
the object. but the firm refusal of Judge
Day and his colleagues to assume the Gu
ban debt because the United States will
not take over the sovereignty. has wild
ered Spanish perceptions and has I'M
Cuestionably fastened their convic-
lions

In the center of each of the thirty three

was placed across the hall, the nine re-
served for distinguished guests being
placed at the side and directly in front
or that at which the president was

CRUSH DURING THE PROCESSION.
Terrible and Dangerous Opposite the Re
viewing Stand.


During the parade yesterday Mrs.
Mckinley sat at window of the Union
League club and was an interested
spectator, and a frightened one when
she saw the terrible crush on the OPP
posite side of the street. AS soon as
the parade passed the president left
the reviewing stand. going into the club
house. Three cheers were given him as
he left, and these cheers were nearly
the death-signal of many people. All day
long the pressure of the crowd on the
police lines at this point had been
enormous. Time after time the utmost
efforts of the officers had been unable
to Withstand the weight of the crowd.
Their lines had been frequently broken,
and the officers We're well nigh ex-
hausted with their long hours of hard
work.
They opened their lines just as the
crowd in front of the club house was
cheering the president, and the crowd
thinking some new excitement was on,
FASTENED from both ends of the square
toward the center. Seeing the awful
crush that must inevitably ensue the
police made desperate efforts to push
the crowd back toward the ends of the
square. but without avail. Detachments
of soldiers and marines hurried to their
assistance, but in a short time they, too,
were powerless. Tighter and tighter
the crowd became. and then came from
women and men cries of distress and
calls for help. a large stand had been
erected opposite the club house on the
vacant ground upon which the newpost-
office is in course of erection.
All along the edge of this stand hands
were reached to the struggling crowd
below, and hundreds of men, women and
children dragged anyhow, everyhow-
by arms, legs and collars-into the
stand above. Cloaks, overcoats and
dress shirts were torn to shreds, and in
numerous instances torn completely
from the body of the wearer as the res
cuers above dragged them hastily over
the railing. After nearly half an hour
of this sort Of thing the crowd was
thinned so that long. breath was pos
sible ands comparatively quiet restored.
No lives were lost, but there never was
a more narrow escape from a long list
of fatalities.
The crowd still fingered in front of
the club house and called for the presi-
dent. He was at luncheon, but the
crowd would not be denied and the pres
ident stepped once more upon the re-
viewing stand and spoke very briefly.
After the conclusion of the presidents
remarks there were loud calls for Cen
erals Miles and Shafter, but neither of
those gentlemen would make his ap-
pearance, and the crowd, after cheering
the president as he left the club house
slowly dispersed.

form the covenants which the war has
sacredIy sealed with mankind. Accept
ing war for humanity's sake we must ac-
cept all the obligations which war in duty
and honor imposed upon us. The splen-
did victories we achieved would be our
eternal shame and not our everlasting
glory if they led to weakening our orig
inal lofty purpose, or to desertion OF the
immortal principles on which the ma
tional government was founded.
Cannot FortelI the Future.
War with Spain was undertaken not
that the United States should increase
its territory, but that oppression at our
doors should be stopped. This noble
sentiment must continue to animate US,
and we must give to the world full
demonstration of the sincerity OF our
purpose. Duty determines destiny. Des-
tiny which results from duty performed
may bring anxiety and perils, but never
failure and dishonor. 1t is not within the
power of man to fortell the future and
to solve unerringly it's mighty prob
lens. Looking backward we
can see how the hand of destiny builded
for us and assigned US tasks whose full
meaning was not apprehended even by
the wisest statesmen of their times.

CONSEQUENCES OF WAR GROW.
Whatever They Make BE They Must BE
aithfuIly Dealt With.

Whatever They Make BE They Must BE
Faithfully Dealt With.
"Our colonial ancestors did not enter
upon their war originally for indepen-
dence. Abraham Lincoln did not start
out TO free the slaves, but to save the
Union. The war with Spain was not of
our seeking, and some of its conse-
quences may not be to our liking. Our
vision is often defective. ShoFtsiShted-
ness is common malady, but the closer
we get to things, or they get to us, the
clearer our view and less obscure our
duty. Patriotism must be faithful as
we'll as fervent; craftsmanship must be
wise as we'll as fearless-not states
manship which will command the ap-
plause of the hour, but the judgment OF
posterity. Progress in a nation can
aione prevent degeneration. There must
be new life and purpose or there will be
weakness and decay. There must be
broadening of thought as well as broad
ening of trade
Territorial EXPANSION is not alone
and always necessary to national ad-
vancement. There must be constant
movement toward higher and nobler
civilization, a civilization that shall
make its conquests without resort to
war and achieve its greatest victories
pursuing the arts of peace. In our
present situation duty, and duty alone,
should prescribe the boundary of our
responsibilities and the scope of our
undertakings.
THE final determination Of our pur-
poses awaits the action of the eminent
men who are charged by the executive
with the making of = treaty of peace,
and that of the senate OF the United
States which, by our constitution. must
ratify and confirm it. We all hope and
pray that the confirmation of peace
will be as just and humane as the con-
duct and contamination of the war.
When the work Of the treaty-makers is
done the work of the lawmakers will
begin. One viii settle the extent of our
responsibilities: the other must provide
legislation TO meet them The army and
navy nobly and heroically performed
their part May God give the executive
and congress wisdom toperform theirs"
