although up to this moment no ad-
vances have been made to the state
department by any Of the European
powers, there is an indefnable sug-
gestion in the air that any moment

kind. For this reason the campaign
against Porto Rico will probably be
hurried in order to ensure its posses

effect that this fleet has already
started for the West Indies or the
Philippines, it can be stated that the
government has information which it
regards as reliable that the Spanish
fleet had not left Cadiz up to yes

Educated, by JoVeI"

At leading New England college,
some years ago, when the CONNIE nee
ment exercises were over and the d.
plomss had been distributed, says D.
s. Sanford In the Atlantic, member
of the graduating class. who had been
more distinguished by convivislity
than studiousness, and who had barely
es aped losing his degree, appeared
upon the campus, and waving the
much-prized parchment over his head,
shouted Rleefuily, Educated, by Jove!
Educated!" The idea expressed by the
rollicking student, more In jest than
in earnest, illustrates q notion Of edu-
cation which dies hard. The popular
prejudice that culture is srmething ex-
tracted from books, picked up in .
lecture-hsll or laboratory, or seized
during the aeetiue years of ones
school or college life, is so prevalent
that it becomes the obvious duty OF the
school to press home to the conscious
ness of every person the conviction
that an obligation rests upon him to
undertake a course of education last
ing throughout his life.

A Member of the Light Brigade Dies
In a Seattle Hospital.


Seattle Post Intelligencef.
With the death of DR.. John S. Nc
CURE in the Seattle general hospital.
hero worthy Of the hif hest respect
passed away. Every school boy and
girl in the world has read of the
"Charge of the Light Brigade" 1t
Balaklavs, and wondered at the brsv-
cry Of those immortal 900 souls y no
marched into the jaws Of death with
oolors flying, even though they knew
someone had Numbered.
1t was not for them to wonder why;
They had but TO do and die.
DR.. John S. MCGUIRE was one Of that
six hundred. His career did not end
there. Medsllions and marks of honor
were bestowed upon him for brilliant
services to her m u >sty, the queen of
Grea, Britain, at Inkerman, in the
Crimesn war, and later in the famous
relief of Lucknow.
10 speaking Of DR.. McGuire's life,
that he was born at Belfast, ireland,
February 20, 1888. He came of long
line OF Irish gentlemen. His father was
. celebrated criminal barrister of Bel
fast. DR.. MCGUIRE was educated in
Queens college and At the college Of
physicians and surgeons. Edinburgh.
He was graduated in 1854, with the de-
gree of A. B. In 1884 he received his
degree in medicine, and shortly after
surgeon in the British army. He was
attached to the Fourth light dra yoons,
and with them was present at the bat
tie of Bslakiava.
November 30, 1854, he was trans.
ferred to the Fourth Royal Irish Ora
COON Guards, and served with them at
the battle of Inkerman aud the fall OF
Sebastopol, which latter event closed
the Crimean war.
In 1857, through the influence of
Florence Nightingale, he received q
commission as assistant surgeon in the
Bengal army, and proceeded to the
Indies, where he was attached to the
Eighty-seventh Connaught Rangers
aud the Third Bengal Fusileers.
The SepOy mutiny was now at it's
height, and be proceeded to Delhi, be-
ing present at it's fall and capture Up-
on the fall of Delhi he was ordered to
Cawnpore for the purpose OF saving the
men and women there. The expedi-
Tope and Mana Sshib being totally an
initiated and scattered.
But the end was not yet. Lucknow
was in peril, and every energy was
bent to relieve it. BY forced marches
and untold privations they reached the
Cora river, crossed it on q pontoon
bridge, stormed Lucknow and took it,
with loss of 800 men. This practically
ended the Sepoy mutiny, and, a. we'll,
stands q 1T victory to mark the close of
the DOCTORS remarkable military ca
reer.
In 1871 he resigned his commission.
and, after a short residence in Austria
lis, sailed for the Golden Gate. He re-
msined in San Francisco but q brief
period, going from there to Victoria,
B c., but eventually. after prscticiug
for various periods In Snohomish and
Centralis, came to Seattle in 1880.
where he practiced medicine till the
time of his death, May IL, 1898.

The MaChete.

From the Chicago Record.
Some people know, but q great many
do not know, that machete is q cross
between Q corn knife and . butcher g
cleaver. It has blade about "a inch
es in length-one shaped considerably
ated and falsified razor blade. The
edge of the machete runs due north, In
. swelling line, with q curve, or
rather, Q suggestion OF q curve, until
1t is surprised to find itself at the Ii
| mits of the knife. At the point the
line of the machete angles two points
south OF southeast-by mariners COM
pass-for q distance Of inches, when
it drops straight southwardly along
the back of the thing to the place of
starting At the handle. This handle
is OF horn, aud little curlicue at the
rear end Is intended to keep the hand
from slipping and enable it to poise the
tool and cleave the Douglas head with
freedom and ease.
From an inspection of certain ma
chetes submitted in the course of q
recent visit to that part Of the country
where this product hourishes most
rampantly, it is found that the best of
them are made in Hartford, Conn.,, but
that they reach their highest develop
ment in the warmth of the tropics.
One machete, belonging to the light
x. eper at Cape San Antoine at the
western limit of Cuba. was spoken of
as having been in at the deaths of no
less than forty-three identified persons
and at least 100 more who may be
counted among the ''also rsn," but
whose names we're unknown to the mar
rator. This weapon was made In be-
nignant, tranquil New England, and
the altruistic Yankee who mauufac-
tur, it would doubtless take great
deal of honest aud conscientious salts
faction out Of the knowledge that it is
not even nicked after such overtime
use.
In tropical country the machete is
fret in war, first in peace and frequent
ly fret In the hearts of the country
men. 1t 10 used In cultivation of crops,
in cutting weeds, in chopping wood, in
harvesting bananas, in blowing the
ground. In building such houses as the
native uses, in beating wives and in
skinnfne animals. 1t ia sometimes
pushed into the ground until only the
matt fs visible, and then great games
of quoits are played by its agency, or q
man will tie his dog to it. Armed
with the machete, the native surgeon
defies the intricscies of any kind of
amputation. 1t Ia invaluable to the
diner at meal time, and q clever hand
can throw it up into q tall cocoanut
tree, and in that way chop fruit.
We have also en- self-acting chiro-
pod at using it with splendid effect on
bic corns, and II his corns had been
catarrbs cad there is scarcely any
doubt that he would have found q way
to utilize his machete in inducing Q
cure.

STREET SpRINKLIN6.

The agitation of the question of
street sprinkling, which has been led
and kept alive by the HERALD, has At
last borne some fruit. OThe streets in
the business part Of town are now kept
in pretty good condition, and even the
residence portions are fairly we'll
treated. The great objection now is
that the city has not enough sprinklipg
carts or enough stand pipes to enable
the work to be done often enough to
keep down the dust. On Myrtle

SUCCESS.

The HERALD can be truly classed
among the pioneers of Ell Psso. II
was successfully published % . weekly
journal for several years. Then it was
changed to q daily, with q weekly edi'
tion also. It's career as daily was
varied until late in 1891, at which
time the present management assumed
control.
The HERALD'S upward career wal
steady from that time until last year,
when it secured permanent and ex.
cellent Geographic service, and added
original illustrations and the Saturday
Supplement.
During last year the regular sub
scription list increased by rapid strides
This showed not only that the city OF
Ell Paso was growing at . surprising
pace, but also that the management OF
the HERALD was appreciated in its of.
forts to give the reading public OF FL
Paso and vicinity Q live, newsy evening
paper.
1t has been and will ever be the pol
icy of the HERALD management to
take advantage of every honorable
method to keep the HERALD in the
lead as newspaper in this vicinity,
regardless of the outlay necessary: for
we believe that our efforts in the
future will be appreciated and our
patronage increased as they have been
in the past. Acting upon this deter
mination we have added . new fast
power press and folder, enabling US to
increase our already large edition to
meet the growing demand, and yet to
give every patron his paper at . sea-
sonsble time.
The circulation of the HERALD has
increased by many hundreds Of copies
within the past three months. Our
early train editions are eagerly sought
in oil the towns along the line, for
they not only contain the best news
accessible to these towns, but it reach
es them from fifteen to twenty-four
hours earlier than any other.
The plant is briefly described and
the new press pictured in todsy's Sup
plement. Our friends are cordially in
vited to call at the HERALD Office any

JUNE.

o, June! delicious month Of June,
When winds and birds all sing in tune;
When in the meadow swa' m the bees
And hum their drowsy melodies;
o. June! the month Of bluest skies,
Dear to the pilgrim butterflies.
Who seem gaycolored leaves astray.
Blown d wn the tides of amber day;
o. June! the month of merry song,
OF shadow brief. Of sunshine long;
All things on earth love you the best,
The bird who carols near his nest;
The wind that wakes and. singing, blows
The spicy perfume OF the rose:
And bee who sounds his muf1ed horn
To celebrate the dewy morn;
And even all the stars above
At night are happier for love,
As II the mellow notes of mirth
We're waited to them from the earth.
o. June! such music haunts your name,
With you the summer chorus came.

which has At last resulted in q thorough
sprinklinR of city streets. May you be
equally successful in providing US with
another thing to sgitate for, and that
Is good macadamized roads every
where within the city limits.
The city itself should do this maca-
damizipg and should assess the charges
against property holders in the shape
of taxes. At present many OF our
streets are in wretched condition due
to the fact that owners of fronting lots
don't have to improve the streets.
