spAINs DEcADENcE.
The Causes Are Internal ana Spring
from Pride, Conservatism
and CIericnlism.

When Charles V. was obliged to re-
nounce the dream of q universal mon
archy and 10 abandon the Holy Roman
empire to his brother Ferdinand, says
Henry c. Lea In the'Atlantic, he was
still able TO make over to his son Philip
II. territories which rendered Spain the
preponderating power In the civilized
world. Besides his ancestral domin-
ions in the Peninsula, to which, IN 1880,
he added Portugal, Philip was master
Of the wealthy Netherlands, Of Milan
and Naples, OF the Mediterranean IS
lands, and of the New World. His rev
enues far exceeded those of any other
monarch, his armies were admitted TO
be the most formidable In Europe, and
his command of the sea was disputed
only by the Turk. whose navy he
crushed nc Lepanto, until the disasters
OF tho armada gave warning that the
old methods OF maritime warfare were
becoming obsolete. In every way The
supremacy OF Spain was the dread oi
the nations, ohd its destruction was che
cherished object OF stntesmen for n cen
tury. Il was nob their efforts. however
which accomplished tho result. oil
wares, Il is true. was oVermatched b.
Idchelieu. but Spain had a vantage
ground enabling her TO hold her OWL
against external assault. The causes o
her decadence were internal; they wer'
numerous, but may be roughly defipet
as spFinging from pride, conservatism
and~clericallsm.

BHlAND STILL AT LARGE.

Media, July 22.-The evidence before
Coroner Thomas Minshall, at the in
quest yesterday, on the body OF Sam
uel Sewell, stabbed to death by Peter
Bland at Media station last Saturday
night, makes out a case OF deliberate
murder against Bland. It was shown
that the men had previous trouble over
a game OF crap in which Sewell had
won money from Bland. Also that
Bland had, a short time before, insult
ed Sewell's young wife. Bland waited
for Sewell at the railroad bridge, and
demanded the return OF the money.
Sewell refused to give up any OF the
coin, and Bland picked a quarrel with
him, which lasted but a minute, in
which Sewell was stabbed in the heart.
The jury, after a few minutes deliber-
alton, decided that Bland was guilty
Of causing Sewelps death. In spite OF
the fact that $500 reward has been Of
fered for Bland's capture. and the po-
lice for miles around are on the alert,
nothing has been heard from him since
the night Of the murder.

Frozen Oysters for MARKET.

The latest novelty In the London mar
kets is frozen oysters from New Zea-
land. Some time ago a New Zealand
merchant on a summer visit 10 London
sought unsuccessfully for an oyster.
He suggested that there was something
Of absurdity in accepting the idea that
because there was no ''r" in the month
Londoners should be deprived Of the
toothsome bivalve, and promised when
he returned home TO see what could be
done in organizing summer supply
for Londoners. This has been done, and
the oysters are being used for cooking
purposes, soup, sauces, stews, patties
and the like, The frozen oysters have
not yet reached the dignity Of being
consumed on the half,shell. Fhey are
said 20 be fine, white and plump, and
more Of them are TO be imported.

The strength of grizzly bears is al
most beyond belief. 1 have read, says
a writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
about the powerful muscles in the arms
of African gorillas, but none can com
pare with those in the arms and shoul-
ders of big grizzly bears. have seen
grizzly bear with one forepaw shot into
uselessness pail its own 1 100 pounds OF
meat and bone up precipices and per-
form feats of muscle that trained ath-
letes could not do. have seen grizzly
bears carrying the carcasses Of pigs
that must have weighed 7opounds sew
eral miles across a mountain side to
their lair, and have heard hunters tell
Of having seen cows knocked down as
II by thunderbolt with one blow Of
the forepaw Of a bear. Three summers
ago spent the season in the coast
mountains up In Monterey county and
one moonlight night I saw big griz-
zly bear in the act Of carrying q dead
COW homo TO her cub. / had position
on the mountain side where I could see
every movement Of the bear in the
sparsely timhered valley belowme. The
critter carried the dead COW in her fore
paws for at least three miles, across
Jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over
fallen logs, around the rocky mountain
sides, where even a jaclSass could not
get foothold, to a narrow trail up the
steep mountain. She never stopped
to rest for a moment, but went right
along. I followed, and just about half
mile from the beasts lair 1 laid her
low. The heifer weighed at least 200
pounds and the bear would have tipped

Acting Mayor Frank Pagan has re-
ceiyed two letters from parties Wishing
20 locate two plants here. One is a shirt
factory, the managers OF which ask for
information as to the facilities which
the city offers for such business.
They would start on basis Of employ

horse blankets, which will employ

business, may employ $50 at time.

the Wilmington and New Castle trolley
road, suggested to the writer the idea
of looking up New Castle This same

be made to induce the firms to come

stamps all bear q picture Of the Maine.
those affixed to checks being Q liRht
red In color. They are q little wider
than tho ordinary postage stamp. The
revenue department has had hard
work to get the stamps in readiness for
distribution, on account of the limited
length Of time which elapsed between
the period Of the passage Of the Law
aud the date when it went into effect.
The local banks succeeded in securing
q limited number OF stamps for their
patrons on the moor train Friday, but
until they arrived there was q tie.up
of business In some OF the stores. 30
far us paying bills was concerned.
Every check, note or conyeyauce 81

make it legal. Failure to uflx q stamp
is punishable by u heavy fine.
Tho druggists seem to think that
they arc given greater cause for re-.
Numbering the Maine than those en-
gagged in any other line OF business.
Every proprietary article which they
sell must have q stamp affixed. On q
5-cent article a n eighth cent stamp
must be attached. A dollar article
takes two and Il half cents. This tax
