BABY Cured of Eczema

Gu little boy was only three months old
when he was taken with Eczema that broke
ont IN the most horrible state. His face was
full of scabs, and some parts of the flesh were
raw. We used CUTICURA soar, and one
box of the CUTIcURA (ointment), and IA one
reel this boy was as good as eUer, aud we can
saw the child has been o. X. ever since. We

The History of a Month.

History is being made rapidly these
days. Event has succeeded event
with such startling rapidity that few
well-intormed persons even have been
able to keep coherent idea of what
is occurring. 1t may be well TO give
the record of the month with the date
of the principal events arranged in a
consecutive manner, as follows -
Jan. a4-The Maine ordered to
Havana.
Jan. 25-Vessel arrives in Havana.
Feb. e-The De Lone letter pub
lished.
Feb. I4-Formal demand made on
Spain for disavowal of the DE Lone
Insult.
Feb. I5-The Maine destroyed in
Havana harbor.
Feb. 17-De Lome's letter form
ally disavowed.
Feb. 21--Court of Inquiry opens
at Havana.
Feb. a2--Signs of Government pre-
paratlon for an emergency.
Feb. 24--Belief in Spain's COM
plicity in the Maine explosion steadily
Strengthening.
These are the leading events of the
month which ended last week. One
event, however, which is probably the
most significant of all but which can
not be credited to any particular day,
is the self-restraint and self-poise of
the American people exhibited all
through this trying period, They have
proved that they are not a nation of
hotheads but stable, balanced people,
capable of meeting crisis temperate,
ly but firmly, while ready for any
emergency.
All these events will find place in
history and make the present period
one of the most interesting and mo-
mentous in the closing years of the
Nineteenth Century. 1t is we'll to
keep track of them today also,--

STARTLING CALCULATIONS.

Young Joe Letter, the nervy broker
who showed some of the old time
spectators that the rising generation
is the real thing, is going to realize
heavily on his big wheat deal. The
magnitude of this young p!ulger's deal
may be better realized when it is
known that the 100000 bushels of
wheat which he owns, if made into
flour and barreled would reach from
Chicago to New York four times,
placed end to end and if made into
bread would reach around the earth
four times placing loaf alongside Loaf.

Should Have Been Done Long Ago.

The hysterical haste with which the
government authorities are pushing
the preparations for the defence of the
comparatively unprotected seaports
against the attack of an enemy, shows
that such measures were neglected
while the country has been drifting
into dangerous situation. Ordnance
and ammunition that should have
been on hand ready for use, are being
hurriedly manufactured. Last Sunday
workmen were engaged all day in a
snow storm putting heavy guns IN
position in some of the uncompleted
Notifications around New York. And
it has been just discovered that New
York harbor might be protected by
submarine torpedoes, the fatal effect
of which has been demonstrated in
Havana harbor by what was probably
treacherous trick on our warship,
which was sent down there without
proper precaution against such treat
ment. If we should happen to drift
into war with even SO comparatively
weak power as Spain, we are afraid
that we should find our nation far
from being thoroughly prepared for it,
notwithstanding the hundreds of mill
ions that are expended by our gov
ernment, annually, in matters that are
OF no substantial benefit to the country

The Pennsylvania railroad has
given out orders FOR the construction
OF 100 locomotives at its own shops.
The engines will be ofvalious capacity

to assign the locomotive construction
work at this season of the year, but
100 is an Unusually large number for
a preliminary order. Last year only
seventy-fve were built and it was
found necessary later in the year to
order 10 more. The highest number
built in any one year is 100.

William M. Singsrly Dies Suddenly.

William M. Singerly died very sud
denly at his home IN Philadelphia
Sunday afternoon. Heart disease was
the Immediate cause of death. He
had been suffering for about ten days
with a cold and had remained at home
since Wednesday although his in
disposition was in no way serious.
While sitting in his bedroom smoking
segar he was seized with violent
fit of coughing and Immediately after.
ward fell over dead
William M. Singerly was proprietor
of the "Record" publishing company;
president of the Chestnut Street ma.
tional bank, and the Chestnut Street
savings fund trust company, which re-
Gently collapsed; and president Of
the Singerly pulp and paper mill. Ie
was member of the Fairmount Park
commission and until lately its treas
urer, and a trustee of the Philadelphia
commercial museum.
In 1887, upon the retirement of
Governor Pattlson from office, Mr..
Singerly took an active part in estab-
fishing the Chestnut Street national
bank, of which the ex-governor be-
came the first president. Upon Mr..
Pattison being called for a second
time to the governorship of Pennsyl-
vania Mr.. S,ngerly succeeded him as
president of the bank, and also be-
came president of the Chestnut Street
saving fund and trust company.
Mr.. Sngerly was always an active
Democrat. In 1894 he was unani-
mously made the Democratic candi-
date for governor of Pennsy ylvania, and
entered with great energy into the
q canvass, speaking in nearly every
county in the state. In all he made
over seventy speeches in upholding
the cause of Democracy. The nor
NAL Republican majority was too
great to be overcome and his compe-
tltor, General Hastings, carried off
the prize.
During the national campaign he
supported the Palmer and Buckner
ticket, making a number of speeches
in its behalf in Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Maryland, and organizing
local association in aid of the move
ment. He also took an active part in
forming the Pennsylvania bankers as
sociation. Financial misfortune over
took Mr.. Singerly during the last few
months of his life when, on December
a3 last, the Chestnut Street national
bank and trust company were COM
PEELED to close their doors. Messrs.
Earle and Cook were made assignees
of the trust company and managers
of plan looking to the liquidation of
the affairs of both institutions. Mr..
Singerly promptly turned over to
them every personal asset he possess
ed, including his interest in the
"Record." Since then receiver has
been appointed for the bank and the
affairs of it and the trust company are

INDEMNITY.
What we Claim From Spain for tho Mainc

If the Court of Inquiry holds Spain
responsible for the disaster to the
Maine it is estimated that the amount
of indemnity to be asked is placed by
competent authorities at $I3, 900.
This is on the basis of $4,000, 900
for the battleship, $1,000 each for
every human life lost and Sc, 500, 900
for the expenses incurred by the
United States and the loss of the
vessels service. This sum will be i'm
mediately demanded and pressure
brought to secure payment in the
event that Spanish responsibility is
established.
The presentation OF this demand
for indemnity will be the first step to
follow verdict by the Court of
Inquiry. The possibilities of war with
Spain will be contingent upon her
willingness to pay such an indemnity
and make other suitable reparatlons.

Agricultural Discoveries.

II GRTCULTURE is keeping right
up with the scientific procession.
! Some time ago 1t was announced
that tomato plants had been success
fully grated upon potato stalks, and
now correspondent of the New Haven
Register tells of a Connecticut Yankee
who has undertaken to raise straw
berry cream by grating strawberry
plants upon Tilkweed. The Connect
cut people are justly celebrated for their
ingenuity in the mechanic arts, and
they seem AT last to be grating it over
into the vegetable garden. In Connec-
ticut men may yet gather grapes of
thorns and figs of thistles. The raising
of crops should be much slmplified and
cheapened by the Innovations. Many
weeds thrive luxuriantly without any
attention. The scientific farmer has
only to let them get a good start, and
do little grating, and presto! there
are peas, beans, cabbages, turnips.
beats. corn, berries. currants, in fact all
kinds of garden sass, sans blowing,
sans hoeing, sans everything but graft
ing. The farmer ought to have the
most successful graft on earth.
More than a century ago Connecticut
placed a superior article of wooden nut
megs on the market-we doubt If they
have ever been surpassed. She showed
what she could do when she turned her
peculiar genius to the science of bot
any. That after one hundred years
spent in inventing and perfecting
mechanical devices, Connecticut inge-
nuity again invades the field of the
agricuturist is interesting and signifi-
cant. No man now dare cast a horo-
scope of the twentieth century and
predict the progress of agriculture.

Spain's Cortcs.

~ NGLISH newspapers that are apt
to be well informed on a matter
of the sort. predict that the
Spanish elections will return strong
majority in support of the present gov
ernment-the local officers are expected
to do what they are told in the premises
and take care of the result. Still. the
English press is not leaving out of the
account the fact that an ugly spirit
pervades Spain--it manifests itself in
mutterings against the policy the
Sagasta ministry is pursuing. In the
election of the lower house of the Span
ish legislature all male Spanards who
are twenty-five years old, who possess
full civil rights and have a two-year
residence in their voting district may
vote for members of the lower house.
This right the Spanards enjoy under
law of seven or eight years ago. The
house has 1872 members. The Spanish
senate is large, having about $50 mem
bers. One-half of them are elected to
fiVe-year terms by communes larger
taxpayers, churches. universities and
the like. Others OF the senators are
nominees of the crown. Still others are
life senators. For members of the lower
chamber elections will be held on Sun
day, March 81. The senators will be
elected April 10, and the new Spanish
cortes will convene April %.

Nothing Against Him.

\ ANING nothing justly TO COM
~ plain about. the Spaniards are
j finding fault with Consul-Gen-
eral Lee. In instances the Madrid press
is taking up this complaint-over in
Spain they think, apparently. that there
must be some Offset for the disgrace
10 Spain that eliminated in De Lome's
summary recall.
These critics do not furnish a bill of
particulars-they simply charge, in A
general way. that the United States
consuI-general reveals his sympathy
for SPANS enemies and secretly helps
them. The only warrant for this accu-
sation Is found in the fact that General
Lee has done what he could to furnish
something to eat 10 the starving thou
sands in the Cuban provinces and that
he has done what he could TO provide
medicine for the sick and relief for the
dying. The humane task he undertook
with the consent Of the Spanish gov
eminent. Because it touched his SYM
pathies TO see regiments of human be-
ings perishing like dogs. the Spaniards
do not like him.
At Havana, General Fitzhugh Lee
appears to be the right man in the right
place. He comes from splendid Ameri-
can stock on both sides of his name
the Fitzhughs as well as the Lees. He
is Virginian from afar back He Is
descended direct from Richard Lee. who
died in Virginia 23o years and more
ago; from Richard Henry Lee, who, in

The Era of Rumor.

~ NE of the uses to which the news
~ wires were constantly put last
week was to expose more fully
the utter dishonesty of much of the
stuff that had been sent to the public
under the name of news about the
Maine Before the catastrophe was
forty-eight hours old, yellow journalism
had conclusive proofs of the fiendsh
perfidy of the Spanish government and
the photographs of the actual condi-
ton of the Names hull to show for it,
1t seems like a long time ago since
this truck was unloaded on the public;
the disaster is weeks old and the people
have settled down to await in patience
the result of official investigation. Tn
der the notion probably that il would be
a good thing to jolly up the newspapers
a little for their Sunday editions, the
press service furnishes for this morning
one item which quotes Lieutenant Manix
as having inferred in an Interview that
there is some pretty hot stuff coming
from his court of inquiry. Probably the
lieutenant never said thing of the
sort: IL he did, he is not a good man for
his job. This office expected, through
last night, TO receive a denial of the al
legged talk with Lieutenant Manix. but it
didn't come-probably he will have
heard nothing about it until leaving
Key West, he has arrived in Havana.
Then there's another little bit of talk
in this mornings news for those who
like to linger on the ragged edge of war.
1t is the suggestion of war between
the United States and Florida; ii is a
cloud about as big as a dolls hand on
an otherwise azure armament. 1t is
about quarantine at Florida ports. 1t
seems not threatening; at the hour of
going to press the Standard had not
learned that the minister of the United
States to Florida had been given his
passports. These dispatches served their
useful purpose. we supposed. In these
exciting days. little. no-account items of
the sort. logged out in attractive cos
tuning. help to entertain the public
while we wait.
