For New Sidewalks.

The interest of the people of our city in the efforts of the Ladies Aid Society to raise funds whereby to repair the sidewalk leading up to the church, has been shown in substantial manner by a donation of ST. 50 to the fund, which was left over from the Fourth of July subscription. This is certainly work which should enlist the hearty support of all our people, as it is dangerous experiment now to attempt to go over the walks, except in daylight, and as the dark time of the year will soon be upon us, it behooves us to be "up and doing while it is yet light" The ladies will make an attempt to raise the mon- ey for nails and lumber and hope some kindly disposed men will offer their services for the work, gratuitously.
 Inclosed in mothproof glass case in Secretary Alger's office is a flag with d history. This emblem was used to drape the casket of President Lincoln when his remains lay in state in the TO- tunda of the capitol in April, 1865, and enyeloped the casket on it's long jour ney through the states to it's final rest ing place at Springfield, III. After the ceremonies had been completed the flag was removed from the casket and shipped to Washington, where it was draped and placed in the case in which are moth balls to prevent as far as possible its decay. The flag is draped as only experts employed by the gov ernment know how to do this work, and on the case is an inscription re- citing its history. The cowardly assas- sination of the war president immedi- ately after the cessation of hostilities, might properly be called the last act of the great drama and by strange CO., incidence, in the next room, which is occupied by the adjutant general, is found the base of the flagstaff from which flew the stars and stripes when Fort Sumpter was fired upon, and thus the relics of the beginning and ending of the greatest modern war repose with in few feet of each other-Gaylord (Kan.)

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS,
Surfeit of Pre-Lenten Festivities
Events Past and to Come

The observance of a time-hOnOred
social function of the city last Wednes-
day afternoon caused our principal
thOrOughfares to resOund with the
cOnvivial music of tinhOrns and cow
bells and the merry peals of feminine
laughter. Until the true import of
the affair was generally known, this
disturbance of the customary quiet
pervading our peaceful community
somewhat startled the natives. and
doOrWays and windows along Main
street were crowded with pairs of
amazed eyes and rubber necksn as
the mirthful galaxy sped by. The
occasion was the Young Married
Ladies' Ride, a winter fete inaugur-
ated fifteen years ago and observed
annually ever since. The first ride
was participated in by the then brides
of the city, with a few young lady
friends. and this set has continued the
custom, adding new participants as
the years rolled by. Last Wednes-
days party was an exceptionally cav
one and the turnOuts were becOminolv
bedecked with bright ribbons and
streamers. In their rounds the ladies
paid their particular respects to the
local newspaper offices, serenadino,
each one. After the ride the company
was entertained at 5 o'clock tea bv
Mrs. Anna Sleeper. The participants
were:
Mesdames Anna Sleeper, John Throne Lila

The second dancing party of the
Iroquois club series was held in the
club rooms Friday evening. Music

ately set and adorned. The club
quartette gave some excellent vocal
numbers during the evening. Those

whereabouts Long Unknown.

In 1858 there lived in the town of
Aztalan man of the name of Charles
Hathaway, who was somewhat dissi-
pated. He had a very interesting
family of daughters, one of whom
married Hayward, one of the Califor-
MIA millionaires.
During the above named year the
bridge across the Crawfsh river, in
Aztalan, was carried away in flood,
and it has always been supposed that
Hathaway was drowned, as he was last
seen on the bridge. Last summer, in
August, a man appeared in Freeport,
H., who proved to be Hathaway. He
was inQuiring for daughter who had
married resident of that city. Dur
ing all these years he has been living

A BRIEF SESSION
Common Council Finishes business in
Three-Quarters of an Hour.

The common council was in session
last evening only from 8:45 to $50.
The meeting, for regular one, was
probably the shortest on record
in recent years Aside from the
consideration of the usual quantity of
accounts, there was not much business
to transact. Aldermen Kessler, Null
berger, Skinner and Wertheimer were
absent.
A communication from the board of
water commissioners, setting forth
that Charles G. Schiller is desirOus of
having city water in his new residence
to be constructed at the corner of
Main street and Concord avenue; that
in order to accommodate him an ex-
tension to the water mains of about
900 feet would have to be made: that
there will be no funds of the water de-
partment to meet such outlay, the
estimated amount of which is about
$500; that if the council sees fit to
grant the accommodation an apprO-
prlation will have to be made from
the city general fund. The communi-
cation was referred to the finance
and WaterWOrks committees
The Judiciary committee reported in
favor Of allowing the account of JUS
tlce Henze for costs in the case Of the
city VS.. Karger Bros, amounting to
$1OS.69. The report was adopted.

explosion It is the most confused pile of distorted metal imaginable. There Is one deck above water which is turned completely over by the eXplo- sion. The deck is bottom side up. with the deck frame on top. That looks to me as if the destructive force came from within. If a mine did the work and played so much havoc with the up per deck, where must the bottom be? Can she have any? Yet, they say they have found some of the bottom intact. My opinion is that if the affair had oc cured in an English harbor, say Kingston, Jamaica, there would not be one man in hundred who would say the cause was external after looking at that wreck as it is to-day. I heard that the Spanish divers found piece of the forward turret. I do not believe a mine in the harbor would have broken the turret, while an internal explosion would

expected, however, early in the pres ent week, and as soon as received 1t would be handed at once to the PreSl- dent, and when it has been read by the President it will be made public. Sec retary Long, in speaking of the report, said that while fully realizing its inn portance, the country, in his opinion, would willingly accord to the President a dav or two for it's consideration. The indications seem to be that the report will be made ~ublic by the middle of the present week.
 The presence of Charles R. Flint at the conference naturally gives in ference that the President and his ad- visers are discussing the question or ac- quiring additional ships. MT. Flint whose commercial interests are largely with South American countries, IS be- ieved in a measure at least to repre- sent Chile and Argentina in negotia- tions which are under way for the dis position of their war vessels. A re- porter to-day asked MT. Flint if he could say wether or not the United States had secured possession of the Chilean ship O'Higgins and the Argen- tine ship San Martino, but he declined to make any statement as to the par ticular feature of the subject. When pressed for information in regard to the matter he replied: Both Chile and the Argentine Republic have the warmest friendship and admiration for the United States and her institutions. Neither country is anxious to sell its ships to this Government, basing the indisposition on the belief that we have an excellent navy of our own. They want these vessels themselves. If the time should come, however, when it was apparent that the United States needed these vessels they would gladly part with them to us"
 The attention a Of Mir Flint was called to the published report that the United States would purchase the Brazilian torpedo boat Tuby, but he said it was not done so far as he. was aware, as there were no negotiations under way to that effect.
 Aside from the meeting of several members of the Cabinet at the White House there were no incidents of inn portance during the day. Judge Day, Assistant Secretary Adee, Chief Clerk Michael and other officials were at the department, but this has been quite common during the recent month. Also at the War and Navy Departments a number of the chiefs of bureau were at their desks for several hours, mainly for the purpose of disposing of the busi- ness which recently has accumulated so rapidly.
 The most interesting topic of the day was based on the dispatches from Ha- vana, indicating a prospective confer ence between General Pando and Gen. erals Garcia and Gomez and others of the insurgent army for the purpose of submitting to the latter formal offer of autonomy. The basis of autonomy as outlined in the dispatches apparently found no credence with the officials of the Spanish legation. They stated their disbelief that a conference on the pro- posed lines was probable and added that they had no information on the subject. Minister Polo Bernabe ex- pressed the opinion that the report from Havana was unfounded as he said the basis upon which it was proposed to grant autonomy was absurd.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
 SUNG BY HUNDREDS

NEW YORK, March 20.-Over 400 people arose simultaneously tonight in the Metropolitan Opera-house and joined with the chorus on the stage in the singing of The Star Spangled Banner" with more enthusiasm than has been exhibited in the opera-house for many months. It was upon the oc- casion of the performance for the bene- fit of the Maine monument fund.
 On the great stage stood the we'll known opera singer, Camille DArville, and behind her were maSsed the con- bined choruses of the Broadway Theater, the Casino and the Whitney and the MadiSon-Square Theaters. In the background an immense American flag waved from a tall pole. Each of the singers carried a small flag and the moment the patriotic air was started the entire audience arose in their places and joined in the melody. At the con- clusion there were tremendous cheers and a great demonstration. Then My Country" was sung.
 The entertainment, aside from the subscriptions, netted about SIP LOGO. Many of the best-known actors and actresses took part in the performance, and among the spectators was Miss Evangelina Cisneros, who came in for much applause at one time in the even ing.
