Gen. GObln's Present.

Gen. Goblin wore a fine gold watch
and chain hat had been presented
him, at the camp fire Wednesday
night, by his old comrades of the For
t~y-seventh Pennsylvania regiment,
and on the assembling of the encamp-
ment he was presented with n fine
gavel made of historic timber.
The encampment will have much
work in considering the proposed re-
vision of the ritual and also in consid-
ering propositions for amalgamation.
Sentiment in Favor of Blue and Gray Meet
Ing Together.
There is more sentiment in favor Of
uniting those who fought on different
sides in the same war, and a resOlu-
ton will be offered inviting the con-
federate veterans to meet with G.. a.
+. next year. The Missouri delegation
will likely present the resolution, as
that state was about equally divided
during the civil war. If no joint en-
campment is arranged it is proposed
to have fraternal delegates sent from
one encampment to the other.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Aside from
the loss of her colonies and the ships
destroyed in battle, the war has cost
Spain about 1914, 100000. information
to this effect has been received at the
navy department from the naval at
taches of this government abroad. In
Guiding the cost of preparation in an
ticipatiOn of the war begun by Spain
in May, 1895, these sums have been
raised and expended:
How the Money was Raised.
From the sale of 500, 944C uban notes,

From the sale of GO,OOO Cuban notes
of 1856, $j,7S4,S97.

These sums do not include debts for

imately S62, 100000.
Nearly All Went to the Army.
According to the information in the
possession of the department, all the
money obtained has been expended on
expeditions sent to the colonies, whose
total amounted to 1S0.431 soldiers, g.
222 officers and about 20 generals.

FL Mundo, of Spain, commenting up
on this small appropriation for the

this sum was sufficient to have bought

Spain. Too Late, Sees Her Mistake.
According to the reports received
here, it is evident that Spain deeply
deploreS her failure to add a large
number of SHIPS to her navy instead of
applying at least half of the appropri-
atoms made bv the corteS to the MAIN
tcnance of the army.
1t is appreciated by the Madrid gov
eminent that, in view of the condi-
ton of her treasury and the further
fact that her naval force is now great
" inferior, it would be useless to try
TO continue the struggle, especially as
there is no nation of Europe willing
20 support her in case she Shouldagain
resort to the arbitrament of arms.
Because of this the authorities have
no reaso to believe there will be any |
serious hitch in the negotiations of the
peace commission, and while they ex-
pect the Spaniards will do everything
possible to delay the completion of the
treaty, believing they may bring about
complications advantageous to their
government, the American representa-
tives will be in Il position at any time
&c bring them to terms by a simple
threat TO withdraw.

IF PA WAS RUNNIN' THINGS.

| wisht my pa was runnin' things
down there at Washing'tun;
l bet you then the fur would fly and
that we'd have some fun!
Why, he'd of had the Spaniards licked
at least month ago,
Because they's nothin' he can't do
and nothin' he don't know
And you don't believe me, you jist
cine around, some day,
And hear him talk a little while
that's all [ got to say!
Pa says that Dewey, he's the boy!-
just suits him to a T!
"Old George" says pa to me and ma,
lis the admiral for mel
If I'd been there instead of him, that
day he had the fight,
I'd sailed in jist the way he did and
licked 'em out of sight!
/ wisht we had him over here to put
in SIMPSONS place
There'd. be some fghtin' then, in
stead of jist sailin' race!
I can't see fer the life of me-" says pa
to me and ma,
''Why Miles don't go ahead and swat
old Blanco on the jaw!
If I'd of been in Miles's place, do you
know what I'd of done?
Why, I'd of gone a month ago, and
had 'em on the rum!
By George! it's lucky for the dons
that, I amt President,
Or Spain 'u'd be a total wreck to-day,
I'll bet cent!
''Them boards of strategy's all right
fer runnin' county fairs,
Or layin' plans for putin up pre-
serves or cannin' pears,
But oh!' says pa to me and ma,
them fools in Washington
Don't konw no more about war, or
INV it should it be run,
Than you do or the man that's s'posed
to be up in the moon!-
If I was President I'd end this foolin'
mighty soon
'I'l1 bet" says pa to me and ma, ''if
I'd had the fleet
That SIMPSONS got the dons would
not have found no safe retreat!
I'd batter down Havana and I'd sail
across the sea,
And begin bombardin' Madrid, by the
jumpim' jimmantt!
I wouldn't wait minute nor go fool
in on the way,
But l d sail right in as Dewey sailed
up through Manila Bay!"
wisht nv pa was runmin' things
down there in Washington,
I bet you then the fur would fly and
that we'd have some fun!
There wouldn't be an hour nor a min
ute, day or night,
But what the bulletins would say
we'd won another fight,
And if you don't believe it, list you
come around, some day,
And hear him talk little while,
that's all I got to say!

DECORATE YOUR HOMES.
Beautiful Representations of Wild
Ducks, Pheasants, Quail and Snipe.

Ducks, Pheasants, Quail and Snipe.
Probably at no time in the worlds his
tory has as much attention been paid 10
the interior decoration of homes as at
present. No home, no matter how hum
BILE, is without it's handiwork that helps
to beautify the apartments and make the
surroundings more cheerful. The taste
of the American people has kept pace
with the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way of a pic
ture, draping a piece of furniture or
other form of mural decoration. One Of
the latest OF these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muyllle,
in series of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any
thing as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American wild ducks, American
pheasants, American quail and English
snipe. They are handsome paintings and
are especially designed for hanging on dim
ing room walls, though their richness and
beauty entities them to a place IN the
parlor of any home. These original
plaques have been purchased at cost Of
$5O, 900 by J. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., man.
ufacturers of the celebrated Elastic
Starch, and in order to enable their num-
erous customers to become possessors of
these handsome works of art they have
had them reproduced by a special process,
in all the rich colors and beauty of the
original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape of plaque and trimmed with
heavy band of gold. They measure forty
inches in circumference and contain no
reading matter or advertisement what
ever.
Until Oct 1 Messrs. J. G. Hubinger
Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every
purchaser Of three ten-cent packages of
Elastic Starch, fatiron brand, manufac-
tured by J. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., is en-
titled to receive one of these handsome
plaques free from their grocer. Old and
new customers alike are entitled to the
benefits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your gro
Ger. Every grocery store in the country
has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t is the old
est and best laundry starch on the market
and is the most perfect cold process starch
ever invented. It is the only starch made
by men who thoroughly understand the
laundry business, and the only starch that
will not injure the finest fabric. It has
been the standard for quarter of CEN
fury and as an evidence Of how good it is
twenty-five million packages were sold
last year. Ask your dealer to show you
the plaques and tell you about Elastic
Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear in
mind that this offer holds good short
time only and should be taken advantage
of without delay.

So Kelley got handicap
And Gordon got it not.

And won a hole in four;
He made ten-foot put to halve,
He broke the boyle score.
But Kelley's shots were penalized,
He got way off the line;

And bungled eight or nine.
Yet Kelle won the loving cup.
