NILES PROCLAMATION.
General Miles has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
In the prosecution of the war
against the kingdom of Spain by the
people of the United States in the
cause of liberty, justice and humanity
its military forces have come to occupy
the island of Porto Rico. They come
bearing the banners of freedom, in
spired by a noble purpose, to seek the
enemies of our government and of
yours, ana TO destroy or capture all IN
armed resistance. They bring you the
fostering arms of a free people, whose
greatest power is justice and humanity
to all living within their fold. Hence
they release you from your former pO-
litical relations, and, it is hoped this
will be followed by your cheerful ac-
ceptance of the United States.
THE chief object of the American
military forces will be to overthrow
the authority of Spain, and give the
people of your beautiful island the
largest measure of liberty consistent
with this military occupation. They
have not come to make war on the
people of the country. who, for centu-
ries, have been oppressed, but, on the
contrary, they come to protect not only
yourselves, but your property, promote
your prosperity and bestow the immu-
mites and blessings of our enlightened
and liberal institutions and govern
ment. 1t is not the purpose to interfere
with the existing laws and customs
which are wholesome and beneficial to
the people, so long as they conform to
the rules of the military administra-
ton, order and justice.
This is not q war of devastation and
desolation, but one to give all within

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE Of
ID MARCH, 1t is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers IN
the state, it Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILI.E ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families in the county desire i as regu,
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks. probably, Is the inconven;
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, to
secure the services Of a large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make It
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker
but sends 1t direct to this office. In clubs.
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR

price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay US. Now TO our

q certain old farmer learned this Sc

watching two "city fellows" playing
chess. The game was long, and he
ventured to interrupt it.
"Excuse me-" he said, "but the OBJ
ject of both of you is to git them wood

"That partly expresses it," replied
one of the players.

Finally he made his reluctant way
to the superintendent's Office to give
an account Of the matter. The super

tened to his story.
"And you say there were 124 horses
in all, and you have 80 of them in the

FAITHFUL WATCHMAN.-The truth
of an old saying about children ano
fools is newly illustrated by a story ir
a London paper.
A gentleman went into fancy good:
store. 1t was early in the morning
and in order to make change the
shopkeeper was obliged to 60 up
stairs after the cash box. AS he went
out of the room, he said in whisper
to his little son:
"Watch the gentleman that he doe:
not steal anything"
The precaution was natural enough
but the form in which it was convey
ed was unfortunate, for when the shop
keeper returned, a few minutes later
the boy cried out:
"Pa, he didn't steal anything!

DIDN'T LIKE THE ANTHEM.-Fifty
years ago the Presbyterians of Scotland
insisted that the service of praise
should be expressed by singing tt
plain, simple tunes the Psalms of Da
vid in "Rouse's Version" or in "me
tre." This custom, which many re
garded as a precept of worship, ex
plains the following anecdote:
An old Scotch lady who had ne
relish for modern church music wa.
expressing her dislike to the singing O
an anthem in her own church one day
when neighbor said:
"Why, that is very old anthem
David sang that anthem to Saul"
To this the old lady replied, "Weel
