A new button has made its appearance
In New York and is being affected by large
numbers of wearers. The design on the
button is intended to typify the friendly
relations between the two great English
speaking nations. The flags of Great Brit
ain and the United States, and the lion
and the eagle of the countries, form the
chief part of the design. The legend is;
"one tongue, one people; invincible in war
Triumphant in peace" The sentiment has
grown considerably during the past few
months

The HaverhiH (Mass) Gazette, speaking
of Consul General Lee, says: 1T is a
great pity that this gallant gentleman can
not be retained in public life" Why can
not he be retained in pubic life? He has
no intention of retiring to a monastery.
The Massachusetts paper is evidently a
little behind the times. Not only can
Fitzhugh Lee be retained in public life
but he will be so retained Whatever
there shall be of public life in this country
for the next few years will know Fitzhugh
Lee, for ne will be right in it,"

The surgeon general OF the navy has de-
cided that he will have no female nurses
on the hospital ships. All persons en-
ployed on these vessels according to the
regulations, must be regularly enlisted in
the navy. and the law prohibits the enlist
ment of women in that branch of the SER
vice. Male nurses are rated as ships
cooks, and receive $50 per month.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd

The Spaniards themselves should have
the highest regard for Consul General Lee,
for he dealt fairly by them at all times; yet
from Gen. Bianco down they did their best
to insult him as he was taking his depart
ure from the island. If he should ever
return to Cuba he should be sent as a mil
itary not consul general, and then Gen.
Blanco will be Obliged to receive him no
matter how busy the Spanlard may be.

1t seems that Col. Gambler is disposed TO
make point against Mr.. Berner because
the latter is a bachelor. According TO a
little story which found its way into the
prints some time ago it would appear that
It is not altogether MIR Berners fault that
he is not married man. 1t takes two TO
make bargain in marriage, the same as
in anything else. However. it is not yet
too late for the candidate who has become
known from one end of the country to the
other as Handsome Bob" to disarm that
objection, if it is really an objection, to
his occupying the executive residence.

The Army and Navy Journal. which is
usually conservative in its utterances, is
considerably angered by what it conceives
to be an unfair advantage taken of the
government by persons who have vessels
to SELL These are happy days" it says,
for yachtsmen who know how difficult it
IS to get, when they want to sell, over a
half or a third of what a vessel cost them.
Uncle Sam is in hurry, and has fifty mil
lions burning in his pocket, so he. is will
ing to pay an advance on cost. To re-
ceive $4,000 for a vessel that cost $4,000
and could not be sold TO a private owner
for more than $4,000, makes a ship owner
realize that this is indeed the greatest and
best government the sun ever shone on"
1t is believed the vessel the Army and
Navy Journal had in mind was the May
flower, purchased from ogden Goeet. The
purchasing board. however, affirms that
1t secured that particular vessel for $45,-
900 less than it. cost to build her.

One Way of Settling 1t.

An amusing comedy in real life Is
reported from Paris. A married man
was in a cafe near the Opera with his
better half one evening and left her for
a few moments. While he was absent
his wife was ,nsulted. The lady rose
from her seat and went to meet her hus-
band The latter re-entered the cafe in
order to chastise the offender. The lat

band found his name and address

On the following day the indignant
husband was amazed to receive a COL

name, all beautifully printed, accom-

This helped to close the matter, and it
is recorded that after brief explanations
on both sides the husband paid the bill,
