A GALL FOR VOLUNTEERS is COMING.
Representative Hull Of Iowa, chair
man of the house committee on mill
tary affairs, will today introduce an
administration bill authorizing the
president to issue a call for volun-
teers to the number.of. 60, 900 or 70 600
men. 1t will be considered imme-
diately by the committee, its passage
expedited as rapidly as possible and
will take effect Immediately upon
the presidents approval.
Its terms will authorize the presi-
dent to call on the various states for
quotas in making up the aggregate.
By reading in this way instead of
specifically looking to calling out the
various state militia it will avoid
several embarrassing technicalities, a
main one being the constitutional
inhibition on sending state militia
out of the country, while volunteers
SO called for can be ordered any
where.
1t is likely that if the situation de-
velops into such grave proportions as
is now expected a second call fol
100000 volunteers will be issued by
the president. The necessity for this
immense number, however, is no
clear to the military authorities a
this time. The draft of the presen
war measure has just been framed
by the war department officials ant
the leading members of the military
committee have already conferred
with the war department authorities
on the necessity of this line, the lat
ter having announced that a maxim
um of $4,000 volunteers would be
sufficient at this time.

A woman MS saw Min Hand.

f "a brawny woman clad in blue cot
tonade waist and skirt, who is able to
run a saw mill engine as well as any
man in the business, is rather an un-
usual sight," said Walter Wade, Of
Louisville, KY, "but that is just what
| saw In Tennessee woods few
weeks ago. The female engineers
name is Annie Fables, and she told
me she had been doing full hands
work at the mill for six years. Five
years ago she decided she could run
the engine, and the mill boss told me
she had been one Of the most careful,
as well as one of the most competent
he had ever seen.
MRS. Fables lost her husband elk
years and half ago, and few months
afterward she asked for place In the
mill where her liege lord had been
employed. She began working as an
off-bearer, and in year and half
was put in charge Of the monster
piece of machinery which furnished
motive power for the large circular
and straight saws. She has all along
earned mans wages and has been
able to support and give her seven
fatherless little ones good common
school education. She is fond of the
hard labor, and has lost but five days
during her connection with the mill
and then she was ministering to 9
sick child"

"REMEMBER THE MAINE"
Military and Naval Operations to Be-
gin at Once Unless Spain
WIthdraws From Cuba.

The sword that is to avenge the
dead sailors of the Maine and drive
the Spaniards out of Cuba is half
drawn.
Congress after o'clock Tuesday
morning adopted resolutions that
mean war if Spain does not withdraw
from Cuba. The president will sign
them early this forenoon. The mill
tary operations will be undertaken
with vigor. Spain will have notice
of our intentions in time for consider
alton at to-day's dinner.
The senate conferrees gave up their
resolution recognizing independence.
The house members agreed that the
resolutions should say the "people
of Cuba are and ofright ought to be
free and independent" the language
of our Declaration Of Independence.
The president suggested this COM
promise six hours before it was
agreed to. He communicated his
views through Senator Allison OF
Iowa. The house conferrees, how
ever, were obstinate. They had posi-
tive instructions from Speaker Reed
to insist to the last on the houses
action, which was to strike out the
words "are and" leaving the state
ment that the Cubans ought to be
free, and also the resolution of re-
cognition.
The speaker had not told them
they might follow the presidents
suggestion. The president told Sen
ator Allison that he was ready to
bring the matter to a crisis to-day.
This conclusion came only after
over fourteen hours of work in tine
house of representatives and nearly
thirteen in the senate. Most of the
disagreement was on the words "are
and" The house wanted to say the
Cubans ought to be free. The senate
insisted that they are and of right
ought to be free and independent.
Two conferences were held. The
scene which resulted in the agree

A case of youthful depravity has re-
Gently come to public notice at Turn
srs Falls, Mass. 1t appears that several
boys from Tough end" who had
heard the particulars of the execution
Of O'Neil, concluded to try one of their
number for the crime of murder. An
empty freight car was used as a court
room, and the trial proceeded With
Judge, jury, and full complement OF
officers.
After the trial, in which the accused
was found guilty, the sentence of death
was pronounced upon the accased, and
preparations taken to carry out the
decree OF the court. The death watch
was set and gallows improvised In
the car. When the time drew near for
The execution the condemned boy was
mounted upon box and the moose ad-
Iusted. The box was knocked out
from under his feet, and the victim
was told that when. he stopped kick
ing he would be cut down. He was
soon unable to kick, and the break
Ing OF the rope probably saved the
boys life. Some little time was re-
1uired to bring the boy around.
The ages of the boys are given aa
from 10 to Is, and the victims age was
about 12. The matter has been kept
very quiet, and 1t was only by accident
that the affair became known.

The Great Adam FOrepaugh and Sells
Brothers. Consolidated shows.

In connection with the advent in
Nelsonvi.le on Wednesday, April
9th of the above united big and
famous menageries, circuses and
hippodromes, attention is called to
the following statement by the
New York Journal:
"a circus deal, involving two OF
the largest amusement enterprises
in the country, has Just been con-
summated, in the combination OF
the interests of the well-known
Forepaugh Show with Sells Broth
ers' Enormous Railroad Shows
The combination was effected by
James A. Bailey, owner of the
Forepaugh Show, who concluded
arrangements with Mcssrs. Eph'
RAIN, Lewis and Peter Sells. The
consolidation will make the new
show one of the largest in. the
world. The Forepaugh Show was
founded nearly half century ago
and was purchased by James A
Bailey on the death of its proprie'
tor In 1890"
Notices similar to the above ap,
peared in all the leading dailies oi
the country and were telegraphed
by the Associated Press and the
United Press, the event they
chronicIed being justly regarded
as the most important and far
reaching one that has transpired
in show business; and such it un-
doubtedly Is. Since then the press
of over hundred leading cities,
from New York to San Francisco,
have testified that the enterprise
has fulfilled every expectation its
magnitude and wealth aroused,

In Memory OF Mrs. Rachel Wright.

All day we watched the ebbing life.
As II Its fight to stay,
When falling twilight closed around,
Our last hope passed away.
Ger her couch, we bent and prayed.
In the hnlf-lighted room,
The joys and sorrows, of her life,
Sank slowly into gloom.
AT last the futtering heart stood still,
The death-frost through her clay
Stole slowly, and our sister dear,
Had passed from us away,
Her race is run, she's cached the goal,
How sweet. her peaceful sleep;
Sorrow and pain, she knows no more,
Why should we mourn, or weep?

mission this season. A great many OF
the larger sailing craft also will not be
taken out OF their winter quarters this
summer. All this will of course detract
a great deal from the usual interest
and excitement that attend the annual
cruises and regattas of the prominent
yacht clubs.
Small boat owners and those who are
interested in the doings OF what is
known among yachtsmen as the mos
quito fleet believe that all this Will have
a tendency to increase the popularity
of that class of boats. Many yachts
men who have been in the habit OF
cruising and racing in large sloops and
schooners are this year afraid to ven
ture in their vessels far from the shore
and consequently will turn to the 20 and
25 footers, which can be handled near
the coast and in the numerous sounds
and inlets OF our vast seaboard.
The leading organization to encour-
age small boat sailing in the United
States is the Seawanhaka Corinthtan
Yacht club OF New York. This club has
done much TO foster Corinthian racing
in the United States-that is. races In
which the boats are neither sailed nor
manned by professionals. Its member.

amateur yachtsmen OF the country.
Nothing in years has contributed SO
much to the awakening of interest I'm
Corinthian racing as the action Of the
Seawanhaka club In instituting what Is
officially known as the "Seawanhaka
international challenge cup for small
yachts" The matches for this trophy
are limited to boats whose racing meas
urement does not exceed the maximum
limit Of the 90 called 25 foot class or fall
below the minimum limit OF the 10 foot
class. ~
For two years the seawanhaka club
retained the cup, but In 1896 the Cana
dians managed to carry IL off. Last
spring IL little yachts were built to
contend for the honor Of trying to win
back the coveted prize. The Canadians
built eight boats from which to select u
defender. Heavy weather was the rule
during the trial races. The Mono and
Alanka, designed by the Cranes of Bos-
ton, proved the best in all work. The
Mono was finally selected. The Cana
dian boat was the Glencairn III. de-
signed by Il. III. Duggan.
The breaking of the tiller OF the Cana
dian craft at the start of the first race
caused her to stave a hole in her bow
by colliding with the stakeboat. by
reason OF her taking In water she lost
the race. but she won the others handi-
ly, the heavy weather encountered be-
ing clearly I'm her favor.
This year strenuous efforts are again
being made TO win back the cup. Trial
races for the purpose OF selecting the
yacht 10 represent this country will be
held on July II. ~ and ~. Any organ
lied yacht club may send a representa-
tive TO compete In these trial events.
The Cranes are building three boats. ono
for Henry G. Emo, one for the Crane
family and the third for a syndicate
composed of members " the Seawanha-
ka club. Several western organizations
are also building. and ~ some Of the
