Those of our citizens interested in
getting up game of ball between the
Glenwood league nine and the locals
sometime during court week should not
fail to attend the meeting next Monday
evening, at the Meeker hotel, specially
called for that purpose. 1t seems the
Glenwoods are anxious to come over for
a little outing, and it rests with our
people whether they shall or not. Simp
Harp has, masnanimously, offered to
bring the BOYS over from Rifle and re-
turn them gratis, and If others are
equally liberal it goes without the say
ing we'll have the game. Attend the

At the kaiser's express wish the con-
firmation of his two eldest sons took
place on q recent Sunday At the Fried
anskirche, in Potsdam, the scene Of
the kaiser's own einseguurg, special
trains conveying the imperial family
and it's guests (about 20 in number)
from Berlin TO Potsdum. The empress
had. with her usual thoughtfulness,
invited her sons masters to be present
at the confirmation, and the princes
themselves had been allowed to bring
seven cadets, the companions of their
studies and games, with them for this
event. The Friedenskirchc, adjoining
which is the mausolrum where Kaiser
Friedrich lies at rest, had been bcauti-
fully decorated with shrubs and flow
crs for the important service, which
was choral one. The young princes
wore officers uniform CT the First
foot guards, with the orange ribbon
of the order of the Black Eagle, and, as
is the custom at the confirmation of
the royal family, each read in clear
voice u confession of faith composed
by himself. After this service a con-
gratulatory reception was held at the
stadtschloss in Potsdam, which was
followed by q breakfast there. In ac-
cordance with another German GUS
tom, the princes were the recipients
of numerous presents in honor oftheir
confirmation. and several high decora-
tions were conferred on the crown

HOLE IN THE TERESA,
1t ls Hoped TO Float the Cruiser In
ItortnIgiGt--Thc Colon u

ts'ETs
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 22.-Captain
sharp OF the Chapman-Merritt Wreck
ing company hopes to float the Maria
Teresa within II fortnight. The cruiser
has a hole fifteen feet long in her bot
tom, very close to the keel. This Is
bein closed and stopped with unrlV-
cted plates, soldering and cement and
hagging.
Captain sharp suggests bringing
the Maria Teresa first TO Santiago for
temporary repairs, n then taking
her 10 Havana, where it will be posi-
BILE to patch her up sufficiently for her
to undertake the voyage north. He
thinks the vessel can be SO repaired as
TO make her available as Il first rate
cruiser.
Captain Sharp, however, has no san
guine hopes of saving the Cristobal
Colon. In fact, he considers the task
practically impossible, despite the
contrary opinion entertained by some
and he would not guarantee that the
vessel can be 1oated.
The salvage Of the Rena Mercedes
and the Merrimac, he says, will be
easy.
Both can be foated with little diff
Guilty and he will undertake the con-
tract with confidence.
Thirty men are at work on the Ma
ria Teresa and twenty-one more will
be sent.
The Almirante Oquendo and the
Vizcaya are both total wrecks and are
not worth saving for junk.

"What do you think Of the New

"a bad ship. II was lucky for her
she did not get into the fight. She
would have burned like our three

accord with me on that subject, and
agreed that a shell might have set her
on fire, and with her woodwork she
would have gone the way of the Viz
caya."

asked.

"Both officers are men OF great in

said, "but Sigsbee, all, what shall L
say Of him. said the captain bitterly.
"After the Maine explosion he was in
Captain Eulate's cabin, on the Viz
caya. There, with tears In his eyes,
he said his career in life was ended be-
cause he had lost his ship. We res
cued the American seamen while their
officers were drinking champagne on
shore, and then Sigsbee goes into
court and forgets all about his tears
and lamentations in Eulate's cabin
and tried to shoulder the blame upon
MS. Never did we have a hand in the
blowing up of the Maine, and | am
convinced after the straightforward
and square way we have fought this
war, the American people do not be-
lievc we blew up the Maine"

A Prophecy or vhe War.

Poor Cuba had suffered at the very
threshold of this great and free country
for more than a century before any nc
tive Intervention was undertaken by
the United States. Outrage after out
rage had been piled upon American citi-
Eens who resided there or undertook to
trade at her ports. The present war
ought to have been fought fifty years
ago, and 1t is q long, sad commentary
on the too peaceful conservatism of the
past that the first man killed in front
Of Santiago in June, 1898, was the
grandson and namesake of the Secre-
tary OF State who held back the hand OF
justice in 1870 when the Virginius az
fair stirred the American people to in
| ,ignation. 1t seems to prove that,
whether the war was deferred or not,
II must come in spite of the conserva-
tism-in spite of the cost of life n
money.
The thought that 1t would come was
present in the minds of many, and In
one instance at least seems to have
been developed into a basis for action.
Many residents Of our city have noted
in the street cars among the advertising
signs which are SO prominently dis
played a series of cards which refer to
naval and military lines, and which
have a double interest at the present
hour. Although they were placed in the
cars over a year ago, before the Spanish
war was thought Of, their text In not
a few points seems to foretell with ac-
curacy some Of the relations Of the war.

PREPARE FOR WAR,
Russia and England Making Hnsty
Preparations to Meet Coming
Conflict.

Conflict.
London, Aug. 22.-The few and far
between defenders of the British gov
ernnent's Russian-Chinesc policy are
~endcavoring TO make capital out of the
return TO London Of the Russian am
bassador, De Staal. They alIege that
the abreviation of his holiday is on
nccted with the present crisis and that
sending him post haste to confer per-
sonally with Balfour clearly shows the
Russian desire 10 arrive at n settle
mcnt. IT is true that De Staal enjoys
the confidence OF the court Of st.
James TO n peculiar degree, but it is
likely to take more than mere words
to satisfy English sentiment, which
is now actively aroused TO the con-
seriousness that Russia has been trying
and partially succeeded in making
England the laughing stock Of Eu-
rope. But that Russia without a
struggle will relinquish any udvan-
tagc which she has gained in the far
east is considered by those who are
we'll informed about her MS in the last
degree improbable. If Lord Salisbury
attached such supreme Importance TO
the presence in London of the Russian
ambassador he surely would leave the
placid delights Of ContrcsviIlc and
would personally conduct the negotia-
tions.
Indeed, all information which can be
gathered tends in the direction diroot-
ly contrary to the optimistic one sng-
gestcd above. Both the British and
Russian governments are quietly but
hastily strengthening their defenscs
in every quarter that is liable to at
tack-England at Gibraltar in one
hemisphere and at Esquimalt in the
other: Russia in the Black sen and
nearest Port Arthur in the east.
The report that Russia has decided
not TO accept the dynamite gun for
use on the ships is untrue, expert
mcnts at NickolaiH being actively
pushed forward.

Meehan's Monthly: Considering the
many wonderful beautiful effects to be
had from the arrangements of plants
unknown to the general public, it Is puz-
zling that some OF our wealthy citizens
of leisure do not interest themselves me re
in ~beautifying the surroundings of their
large and expensive residences. The re-
sources are unlimited. Take the subject
of his paragraph, for instance. A hedge
of this lovely Japanese maple would sur
pass any effect ever attempted in land
scape arrangement, and so simple, too.
1t would cost no more than a good-sized
bed of rh~ododendrons and be exactly eight
times as effective. for the charm of such a
bed ceases with the fading of the flowers.
During he last week in April the writer
drew inspiration for this commentator
from a view Of about a dozen nursery

panded, each extending a distance of 100
yards. Their beauty was unsurpassed!
