of three great squadrons of American
fighting ships. One squadron will be
commanded by Commodore Schley and
the other by Captain Clarke or Com

Movements of the Troops.
Washington, May 19.--More than fifty
regiments of the volunteer army either
have started for or reached the mobiliz-
ing points to which they were directed
to proceed by the secretary Of war.
Fifteen or twenty other regiments have
reported their readiness TO start for
such points. In ordr to avoid confusion
at the camps and any congestion in
the railroad traffic the war department
officials are deferring giving orders for
a number of the volunteer regiments
to start. The volunteers mustered to
date number $4,000 men. All the regi-
ments which were directed to go to San
Francisco, except those from North and
South Dakota, have left their local
rendezvousing points for the Golden
Gate city. The greater portion of the
men composing these organizations are
destined for the PhiliDDineS

INNOCENT ADJUSTMENTS.

In his impressive sermon on last
Sunday evening upon the subject Of
Sowing and Reaping," the Rev. w. VI.
Kincaid repeated the truism that re
ligion is not opposed to innocent
amusements. He then fOrcibly urged
the young nTan not to abandon this
safe domain of innocent amusement,
daring into the land of wild oats"
where the prodigal sons are rioting.
But the Pulpit rs an instructor
should make very clear definitions.
It's only true place is to be abreast of
| the best thought. There is a singular
want of unanimity among scholars in
defining innocent and wicked amuse-
ments 1t is not yet settled in serious
circles whether the game Of checkers
is innocent amusement or not. Per-
sons of high order of sanctity in
dulge in the game And yet man
hung for murder in New Jersey, sew
| eral years ago, declared that his down
ward career began with playing check

ling an innocent amusement? The pull
hit knows that any discussion OF that
luuestion in church circles converts the
debating ground into a DonnybroOk
Fair. Colonel Parker claims that the
art and practice of dancing is educa-
tional The kindergarten schools APP
prove of it. Yet several denominations
{denounce the art and practise, as that
of the most liberal sowing Of wild
oats"
The attempt, however, to clearly de-
fine the moral standing of any amuse-
ment is a dangerous business. So II
is to define what wild oats are. The
Iattempt in the early days to abolish
here the hula" was due mainly to the
| fact that it was classad as one of the
dances, which Puritanism did not
tolerate The definition Of innocent
amusement was vague in those days
New England mothers looked upon
wine rs a fluid that irrigated the crops
of wild oats. Yet the good people OF
California today cultivate vineyards
with unblushing effrontery. The whole
subject of amusements and the defini-
| ton of wild oats needs some revision

At the same time many serious
stories relating TO public affairs are
accepted as historical truths. although
they have no more foundation than
these fake" narratives.

corded them, neither machines nor

and Thucydides were perhaps the
ablest men who ever gave themselves
up to writing history. Yet even now,
after all these centuries, the truth Of
what they relate is called in question

impositions, as the other portions

CUBA AS A COMPETITOR,

The price Of sugar in the future is
largely dependent upon the recupera-
tive power OF the sugar interests Of
Cuba. The enormous resources of that
island are acknowledged. But in what
condition does the war leave the su-
gar industry? Some OF the writers in
the eastern commercial journals state
that the effects Of the instruction and
the war viii disappear within one or
two years. There are many strong
reasons for the belief that there will be
no effective r6cuperation until a
longer period has passed The reports
of those directly interested in the cuI-
tivation Of sugar on the island are not
encouraging. Many Of the skilled Ia
borers have died Of starvation Many
have left the island. Some Of the
largest mills have been destroyed. and
the land has gone TO waste.
1t has been often stated by his
torians that agricultural districts
quickly recover from the effects of de-
vastation by war. That portion. of
France, overrun by the German army
in 1870, showed little evidence Of the
waste caused by the march of the hos
tile army within two years after that
event. The peasantry remained and
quickly restored their own property.
The case of Cuba does not present a
parallel. A vast amount of capital has
been destroyed, and the labOring class
is utterly demoralized Even under the
most favorable circumstances it is said
that the price of labor will be cOnsid-
erably in advance. of the prices paid
before the instruction began. The
sugar planters of Cuba will ask for the
privilege OF importing Asiatic labor
Congress will not consent to it. The
planters will then resort to better
methods of cultivating cane, and i'm
prove the methods of making sugar
The reconstruction process will require
much time The continuance of higl
prices for sugar, through American
protection may hasten the re-adjust-
ment On the whole, there is no dan
ger of any serious decline in the values
of sugar for some time to come, so fan
as Cuba can affect the market.

AN ALABAMA FRAUD.

In the April number of the Century
Magazine in the year 1886, was a most
readable article on the voyages of the
Confederate cruiser Alabama. The
author of it was one p. d. Haywood,
who represented that he was one of
the crew of that vessel from the be-
ginning to the end of her career. The
editor of the magazine even published
a biographical sketch of the author.
In the April number of the magazine,
published one year later the editors
frankly confessed to their readers that
Haywood was at no time one of the
crew of the Alabama, and had so con-
fessed TO them. He also confessed that
he had obtained the facts contained
in his narrative from one of the crew.
The statement of facts, relating the in
cidents of the voyage was substantially
correct.
One of the most extraordinary fake
stories, by which a newspaper was
grossly deceived, appeared in the y. Y.
Herald during the sixties. A man
well-dressed, calm and intelligent en-
tered the Office OF the Herald one
morning at o'clock just before the
paper went to press, and stated that
he had just come down from the Cell
trail PARK; that the wild animals in
the geological gardens were loose and
roaming over the country; that he had
seen one tiger disappear in the woods
fringlng the park, and that the keep
ers were unable to recapture them.
The paper containing the news was
distributed by the early trains
through the towns adjoining the city.
MANY persons were in the habit of
driving through the Central Park in
the morning to their places of bust
ness. On reading the Herald the front
doors OF houses fronting on the park
were fastened Grocery wagons dared
not to move Gentlemen living near
the park did not venture out OF their
houses. Stables were locked. Guns
and pistols were loaded. The upper
part of the city was travelled only by
those who had not read the Herald.
while those who had read il, looked
out of the windows, and expected to
see lions and tigers pounce upon the
horses in the milk wagons. Towards
noon the excitement subsidized, as the
inhabitants cautiously came out Of
their houses, and made inquiries. The
falsehood was exposed by evening.
One very fat merchant, living near the
park was under most serious obliga-
ton to keep an appointment in the
lower part of the city. Aiming himself
with a butcher knife he left his house,
but hearing a noise, he began to run
for the horse cars, and fell. He called
for assistance and gave tramp SO to
stand by him. His subsequent inter
view with the editor of the Herald
was intensely vituperative. 1t APP
peared on investigation that the author
of the story had resolved to get even

A CYNOSURE.

His front name was Adolphus and his sur
name was Brown.
The girls oil said his mustache was the
prettiest In town.
His hair was deep auburn and II crinkled
up in ctirls
That made him the cynosure OF all the
village girls.
Now being cynosure. no had more or
less conceit.
You could soc It In his manner when he
walked across the street.
His very air proclaimed aloud to everyone
In town:
Say, don't you think I'm handsome? My
names Adoiphus Brown
We'll so it went for several years. Adel-
phus cut a dash,
But being cynosure doesn't pay in ready
cash,
And finally his father brought the youth
UP with a jerk,
And he said, says he: "Adolphus. you have
got to go to work.
Now. when Adoiphus heard these words
and thought what they implied.
His first thought was that he would 20 and
be a suicide:
But of nerve to swallow poison he found
there WAS a lack,
And the thought or a revolver sent cold
shlvers down his back
And so Adolphus still survives, with his

And he stil Is a cynosure for all the village

In fact, he's rather more so now than he
ever was before.
For he's selling lace and ribbons in Nc
