MIR. LOWS VIEWS.
The London Editor Wonders at

london March I.-Mr. Sidney Low,
who recently retired from the editorship
of the ultra-Conservative st. James Ga
Zette writes from New York as follows:
ITO an EngIishman the feeling of the
Americans about Cuba is intelliSible
enough. What chiefly surprises him is
the patience which has allowed it to re-
main dormant long. Reflect on what
our own sentiments would have been If
we had at our very gates rich, fertile
territory which for years had been well
ter of barbarous anarchy and brutal
savagery. We went wild over the atroci-
ties in the remote recesseS of the Armen-
ian hills among people with whom we
had no part or lot, but what If we had
an Armenia in the English Channel. If
villages had been burned and devastat-
ed. women outraged, men shot and bay
oneted and starved to death and civil
war Waged in the most revolving form un-
der our very eyes?
'"There is only one answer. We should
not have endured. Tho Spanish would
have been cleared out, bag and baggage
from Cuba long ago. With reluctance
which would have been perfectly genuine,
with emphatic protestations of disinter-
estedness which we should have meant,
though nobody would have believed us.
we should have bloCkaded the island.
bombarded Havana as we did Alexandria
and occupied Cuba as we are now occupy
ing Egypt to the bubbliIig indignation and
resentment of foreign nations and the in
eStimable benefit of the inhabitants.
Some Lord Cromer or Gen. Kitchener
would have taught the islanders what
law, order and honest finance meant, and
tens of thousands of miserable pacificos
and wretched Spanish conscripts would
not have died of starvation butchery and
disease. 1t would have been an unprofta-
Bile and an unwelcome task but it would
have been undertaken and accomplished IL
the shores of Great Britain instead of the
United States hedged the blue waters of
the Mexican Gulf. That is what would
have been done if our section of the
Anglo-Saxon race had the management OF
the Cuban question: and we cannot be
| surprised if another branch of that race
are arriving at the conviction that it Is
| about time that they took the settlement
| of the problem seriously in hand. quite
| apart from the Maine incident.
This opinion has been ripening in the
| American mind and it might well have
| been expected to have reached maturity

CONGOSTO'S ANTICS.
He Furnishes Another International
Incident.

Havana. via Key West. March 17.-Sec-
retary General Congosto has furnished
another international incident" His lat
est exploit interests the consular repre-
sentauves OF European governments in
Havana.
On Tuesday Congosto called on the
British consul general. Mr. Collin. in
great excitement, and demanded to know
if ii were true that the Prince Of Wales
had declared in favor Of American inter-
vention in Cuba and had intimated that
England would uphold such action.
Congosto also wanted an explanation of
the alleged circumstance that English and
American flags We're flying together at
a Cuban demonstration in New York.
The British consul general was not able
to inform him as to the correctness of
either report and had no official mes
50 &c 10 communicate regarding the Prince
Of Wales or the attitude of the English
government.
Congosto's call on Consul Collin was in
keeping with his demand for an explana-
tion from Gen. Lee when the latter was
said to have reported officially to the
State Department the failure of auto
nomy.
1t shows the great tension under which
the Spanish officials are laboring and
their anxiety regarding the attitude OF
European governments toward inter-

ADVERTISING.
Mr.. Ogden Says 1t is the Dynamic
Element of Business.

Element of Business.
New York. March l7-At the rooms of
the Merchants Association, Broadway
and Leonard street, yesterday, Robert c.
ogden, resident partner of John Wana-
maker, made an address on advertising
as a Business Force" 1t was at the sec
ond days meeting of the second Spring
convention of the Merchants Associa
ton. w f. King. president of the asso-
citation. presided The rooms were crowd
ed. Mr. Ogden said:
'"The success of a business depends on
three things-merchandise. service and
advertising; and advertising / regard as
tho dynamic power of the business. 1t
makes the business when taken serious
". One trouble about it is that mer-
chants do rot always take 1t seriously.
Under present conditions no business
can be conducted successfully without ad-
yertising 1t is the fundamental princi-
ple of business and should receive the
attention of the head of the business.
THE columns of the newspapers are
the rostrum of the merchant, from which
he speaks to the people whom he wishes
to influence. Advertising should always
be true. 1t should be a test of the char
acter of the merchant. Advertising
should never be stupid. 1t should be so
attractive as to gain the attention of the
reader whether he wishes to give it or
not 1t should always be in good Eng
lish. the illustrations should be of high
artistic character and the printing in
good type"
He said it required a high degree of
skill to write advertising matter intelli-
gently. Mr.. Ogden was frequently ap-
plauded.

MIR. MOODY'S MEETINGS.
A Wave of Religion Passes Over
New York.

New York, March 17.-The eight days
revival which Dwight l.. Moody is con-
Quoting at the Grand Central Palace
Lexington Avenue and Forty-third Street.
Is attracting greater audiences day after
day. Yesterday, at both the afternoon
and evening meetings, the members pres
ent were larger than on any of the pre-
ceding days, with the exception of Sun
day.
TO see a large hall in New York crowd
ed almost to the doors on a weekday af-
ternoon is not by any means an ordinary
sight, and when the gathering is a relig-
ious one ii becomes still more unusual.
But that is what occurred yesterday af-
ternOon. and several persons who could
not find a seat were invited by Mr.. Moody
to the platform. The evangelist's fire.

can possibly do so shall attend the morn

also resulted in large numbers of people
being present at that hour.
Mr.. Moody had only arranged TO preach
twice daily, in the afternoon and evening.

A WAR AGAINST sCALPERs.
Theater Ticket Spectators in Trou-
BILE LII NeM York

Theater Ticket Spectators i'll Trou-
BILE in New York.
New York. March lit looks as if the
fight between the theater managers and
the sidewalk ticket spectators was at
last fairly started. and the managers say
that the battle will be hot one. The
managers have asked the committee on
streets and highways of the board of al
dermen to postpone until March % the
consideration of the proposed ordinances
to regulate the sale of theater tickets on
the sidewalk. On that date all the parties
interested. managers and spectators
both, will be on hand with their lawyers
to make their arguments for or against
the sidewalk traffic in tickets.
The managers will hold a meeting early
next week to decide upon some plan of
joint action, and a well-known speculator
said last night that he and his cOnfreres
are prepared to fight to the bitter end.
Were fighting for our bread and but
ter" said he. "and it stands to reason we
wont give up the struggle easily. What's
more, the managers will find they haven't
a walkoyer by any means. We have some
influence, too"
There are two aldermanic ordinances

The Times man was in the same con-
dition and he acceded without protest.
To his surprise Sullivan took only Apoli-

stopped taking anything stronger. After
the liquid had been disposed of the ex-

any place of amusement under penalty OF
$50 for each offense. The other ordinance
urged by the spectators provides that on
the payment of n license fee of $3.50 any
one may sell tickets on the sidewalk, and
with the written consent of the manage
ment may sell tickets in the lobby of the
theater.
Every manager in the city has express
ed himself as heartily in favor of the do
ing away with the sidewalk ticket ped
ding nuisance. Many of them have al
ready instructed their lawyers to be pres
ent at the meeting at the city hall on
March % to urge the passage of the anti
speculator ordinance. The only way, they
say, by which the business can be abso-
lutely stopped is for the city to withdraw
the Deddler's license, and they declare
that they will do their utmost to induce
the board of aldermen 10 take the neces-
sary action.

A home has been stricken with sorrow,
A loved one is taken away;
And grief throws its gloom DER the morrow
And darkens the face OF its day
To all the dear loved now dwelling
In the home which shall know her no more,
As they will be constantly telling
OF the wife that has gone on before.
By Her Husband.
Our Efie now has gone TO rest
Beneath the Tree of Life;
She leans upon the SaviOur's breast,
So free from pain and strife.
Our Effe's troubles now are past,
Her pain dsturbs more:
But Jesus in His arms at last
Bore her to the Heavenly shore.
Farewell, dear Ettie, thou art at rest,
And shall forever be;
You could not stay earth with us,
But we come to thee.
The midnight moon Is shining
Upon her silent grave;
She sleeps, and cannot wake her,
The one we could not save.
o, chide not tor weeping,
For sorrow shades brow;
She has gone from Us TO Heaven;
We have no sister now.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have,a bilious look
if your stomache is disordered you have
dyspeptic look. 'ifsyour kidneys are
affected, you have a pinched look. Sc
cure good health and you will secure
good looks. "Electrict Bitters' is a
good Alternative and Tonic. Acts di-
rectly on the stomnch, liver and kid
neys, purifes the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.
