Several years ago, as we have been
told, newspaper printed long story
about the celebration of military
company. 1t filled great deal of
space, and cost a good deal Of money
to put it in shape for the entertainment
of the reading public. 1t would seem
that the newspaper had done its full
share in writing up the the celebration !;
but the next morning, all the same, a
request was made for $50 copies of the
paper containing the story for general
distribution, and $50 copies were
worth, according to prices prevailing
at that time, exactly $3.50. Besides
the expense of writing up the celebra-
ton, the newspaper was asked and ex-
pected to contribute $3.50 to the ad-
miration fund Of the company.
When men die who have occupied a
prominent place in the community,
and who have done good work for the
state or church or society in their day
and generation, it is the invariable rule
of newspapers to speak we'll for them,
and to give an account of their lives.

The FUTURE OF CUBA.-General
Fitzhugh Lee, a few days ago, gave
out an interview with regard to the
occupation of Cuba. He said
"The army in Cuba is simply going
to be big police force, the duty of
which will he to maintain order from
one end of the island to the other. We
will garrison it and see that every one
behaves himself, and then not only
charitable work but private enterprise
and our own governments plans re-
garding the restoration of the island
can be carried forward without danger
of interruption or antagonism.
81 have no information as to Presi-
dent Mckinley g intentions; but this is
my idea of what is going to happen:
We will send 10000 troops to Cuba
and scatter them over the island. We
will garrison it from end to end-not
to take possession of it; but to see that
peace and good order is maintained
and that society reaches settled and
comparatively satisfactory condition.
awe will let the insurgent govern
ment set itself, and we will teach it
how to levy and collect taxes, how to
run its schools, how to maintain ne
cessary sanitary and quarantine regu-
lations, and how to develop the won.
derful country that is back of it. l
think that we will let the Cubans es-
tablish themselves according to their
plans, and recognize them in their ad.
ministrative positions. But the fact
that we have placed them in power
not only gives US the right to see that
they exercise that power judiciously,
but we are morally bound to watch
over them until they are able in every
sense of the word to govern them
selves"

while the hole was narrow. The moon
glanced upon him, and she saw the gilt
ter of his excited, determined eyes. Inch
by inch, without a sound, he dragged
himself to freedom, and No. continued
to tramp the wooden porch unsuspect-
ingly The man was out and on his
feet stopping low, glancing here and
there to make sure of the right direc-
tion to run.
"Quick, quick Oh, man, be off with
you quickr' murmured Mother Revell.
AS if he heard her, he started to run
through the deep snow, soundlessly.
One step he took, and Mother Revell
closed her eyes in despair. The mans
legs, cramped by confinement, were un-
certain. His toe struck rock in the
snow, and he fell, noisily humping
against the wooden wall. At that he
forgot himself, or became at once retJs>
less, and swore aloud
Sergeant of the guard!" the sentry
shouted and dashed round the house,
while inside tumult and clashing Of
steel resounded. The prisoner picked
himself up, but slipped and slid again
before he could start afresh, so that No.
|, carbine loaded and cooked, was on
his heels. 1t was no intention of the
sentry's to kill but rather to recapture
alive. He brought the butt to the front
swiftly and thrust yiciously to knock
his man over like rabbit The running
blow missed, and in all instant the pris-
oner turned, q shaggy, wild eyed image
of desperation. They closed, but for q
second. The next instant the sentry lay
on the snow. and the prisoner had the
carbine. He was off again with dash,
but now the guard came running out,
Sergeant Revell ten PAGES in advance,
revolver at the ready.
Halt, or tire!" he yelled.
The prisoner swung about and brought
the carbine to his shoulder. A scream
came from the spring, and Mother Rev
ell ran out, wringing her hands.
mo, no! Both of you! Don t shootF
She rushed to her son and flung her
self entreatingly OH his breast, but not
before his revolver had cracked. The
prisoner was second later. Unhurt by
Martin s bullet. he returned the fire as
Mother Revell clasped her boy. Martin
heard his mother cry out in pain and
felt her fall heavily forward upon his
rescuing arm. The guard rushed past,
carbines ready, in pursuit of the fugi-
tive, but the sergeant Of the guard paid
no attention to them He picked the lit
tie unconscious woman up in his arms
and dashed away to the post hospital,
terror in his eyes.

it's grasping body, and smile at your wife's
second marriage. Don't worry about the
editor, he'll get along. The Lord only
knows how-but somehow"
That covers the case, and covers it
all over. The country newspapers In
this state do more hard and thankless
service for their respective communi-
lies than all the otficeholders and pro-
lessional sharps and gentlemen of
leisure, who were created for some
purpose, we suppose. They work
early and late, and 80 per cent. OF
their work goes without reward. 1t is
strange thing about the newspaper
business generally that most people do
not regard it as "business" at all.
Customers 60 into store and pay for
what they get. They do not ask for a
pound of crackers, a bunch of cigars,
box of candy, bolt of cloth, or any
of the many thousand things which
are sold but they ask the price of the
articles which they think they would
like, and if the articles suit and the
price is about what they can afford to
pay for them, they pay for them in
cash, Or "have it charged" 1t is not
SO with newspapers. If John Jones

at length by man who is paid for
doing The work, and is printed in a
newspaper which has to pay for put,

like to get u half dozen copies OF the
paper for distribution among his
friends, and Jones generally tries to
get them for nothing.
If the lovely Mrs. Brown-Robinson

mail TO her out-of.town friends, and

WHEN MARK TWAIN FELT EMBAR-
RAISED. When Mark Twain was first
introduced to General Grant the latter
shook hands in a perfunctory manner
and Immediately relapsed into his Gus
tomary attitude of reticence. There
was an awkward pause it grew longer
and longer as the hunorist tried to
think of something bright to say.
Finally, as if in sheer desperation,
Twain looked up with an assumed air
of great timidity, and said: "Mr.
President, IL feel bit embarrassed.
Do you?" The president could not
help smiling, and Mark took advantage
of the chance the incident presented
to give place to others.
Ten years later, when statesman and
humorist met again, General Grant,
with twinkle in his eye, said, before
Twain had the chance to utter word:

barrassed. Do you ?"-October La

Niger VERSUS NEGRo.-A gentle
man of color expresses himself as fol-
lows in the New York Sun:
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir:
After reading in your morning issue
an article headed "a Plain Speech"
by one of your constant readers, was
struck TO hear him say that it gave
him a pain to read the word Afro
American, as his preference is
"nigger."
You will do great favor to one of
YOUR constant readers to instruct the
gentleman that if the word Afro
American is improper, then the word
nigger is improper.
Negro is good enough, and if he
wants to be called nigger there are
others who know the meaning OF
nigger that don't.
Please teach him the word Negro,

It would seem that in doing this the
newspaper had discharged its full duty
to the public and to the deceased but
there are societies and orders and Or
ganizations that would also like to
make some public announcement
touching the esteem in which the de-
parted had been held by his associates,
and of how deeply they wonder at the
iuscrutable decree of Providence which
had removed their deceased friend and
associate, and their words of appre-
citation and sympathy and sorrow are
strung out in tributes of respect which
the newspapers are expected to print
for nothing. We have known persons
almost Frustrated by surprise and in
dignation when they have found that
the newspaper attaches money value
to such eulogies.
1t is in the religious press that the
obituary writer finds the amplest scope
for his talents, and his work of "em-
balming" the memory of the dead has
been pursued with such activity that
the religious papers have been com
PEELED, for self-protection, to publish
such reminders as the following which
we take from The Southern Presby-
terian
Obituary notices not exceeding five
lines inserted without charge. Excess
over five lines, five cents per line.
And it is a remarkable thing how
many obituaries are published that do
not exceed five lines. Otherwise our
church contemporaries would doubt
less be compelled to double the size
of their papers in order to. hold such
wordy manifestations of grief, than
which there is nothing cheaper, even
in these days of scents cotton.
We would like to suggest 10 our
weekly and daily contemporaries that
possibly they are to blame for the
value which the general public places
upon their work. Newspapers are
business enterprises just as mills, and
factories, and stores, and their stock
in trade is the paper which they sell
to their customers, and such space as
they offer to advertise. Newspapers
are not supported by public appro-

Chow is she?"
sis she better?"
sis there any chance for herr"
All day long the men came slipping
up to the hospital and whispered their
anxious inquiries in the attendants
ears and went off in gloom when the
steward pursed his lips and shook his
head.
Toward evening she became sensible
and found Martin in the room with the
doctor, and tall mustached figure in
the shadows of corner.
MARTIN" she whispered, "are you
hurt boy?"
II wish I were, dear little mother, I"
he cried, $50 that you were safe"
Hush! None Of that now, sergeant,
or you'll have to get out, :" the doctor
said as the lad flung himself on his
knees by the bed.
Mother Revell petted her boys hand
weakly, and her eyes sought the corner.
SIS it you, major?" she asked softly,
and the officer commanding came silent
ly to her side.
Mother Revell," he whispered,
"don't you wish to speak to me?"
She paused, closing her eyes, and
then opened them upon the doctor.
"I've seen many of the poor boys go,
DOCTOR" she said. "Tell me-"
And he told her. The doctor took
Martin by the shoulder and pushed him
out before him gently, and the major
and Mother Revell were left alone. At
once she asked:
"He was caught?"
"He was shot down, dead, Bessie"
"And you recognized him?'
"But nobody else, Bessie. Nobody
shall know he was Sergeant Revell "
"Thank you, major, she sighed, with
O content that almost stifled her pain
Martin will never know when-when
he's an officer and gentleman. Major,
you've been very, very good and kind. "
"I'd have done more if you'd let me,
Bessie" he answered.
"Do it for-for Martini" she plead
ed. Hes not like his father"
"No, no, Bess-like you, dear girl,
like you, Bess. "
She looked at him with faint shake
of the head.
"Bess, give me right to be father
to the boy. Thrice I've asked you, and
you refused, though Revell was good as
dead"
"For your sake, major I'm only a
laundress.
II rose from the ranks" he replied.
Il don It want to think that the rascal
who spoiled your life won to the end.
I've been patient. Let me remember
you as my wife-takc my name"
Again she motioned mo"
"Ive money, Bess, and Martin will
be my son. l have influence, and Mar
tin, as my son. will draw on it natural
ly."
"You attack the weaker wing, ma
jor," she answered, and pressed his
hand.
"Yes?'
Eyes"
He stopped and kissed her and hur-
ried out to send his orderly for the post
chaplain. Martin, bewildered, was
there, and the doctor, and these alone
saw Mother Revell acknowledge the
mistake of her hasty girlhood and marry
at last the man who had patiently
waited.
After that she lay in pain, sinking
swiftly, and grew little delirious and
yaw into the future, speaking of her boy
as Captain Revell, a gallant officer
and gentleman. At 9 o'clock she was
very weak, but sensible, and sent mes
sages to q number of her children-the
grief stricken troopers. Shortly she
whispered to them to open the window,
although it was very cold, and they
did so.

method of doing business. Every
weekly newspaper in South Carolina,
we venture to say, would be able to
pay all it's debts and declare a good
dividend the first of every year on the

nothing, and for which the newspapers
do not receive so cheap a reward as

GENERAL WOODS FINE WORK.
He Has Greatly Improved Health Condl-
tions In Santiago.

He Has Greatly Improved Health CondI-
tions In Santiago.
In long personal letter to Secretary
Alger, General Leonard Wood, mill
tary governor of Santiago, outlines the
work he has accomplished since he
took charge of the city. He says that
when the American forces entered the
town the sanitary situation was some
thing frightful. Unburied dead lay
in the houses, 5000 Spanish sick and
wounded crowded the hospitals and
barracks, horde of 10000 half fam
ished people walked the streets, the
water supply had been cut off, and the
streets were full of dead animals and
filthy materials. Because of the ad-
vance of decomposition, the dead were
burned. Yellow fever was raging, 20
or more cases being in the Spanish
hospital alone and the charity hospital
was filled with dying persons.
General Wood began Systematically
to improve the situation. He has 10
men constantly at work and the death
rate is only one-fourth what it was in
July. The sick are given careful med
ical attention and the worthy poor are
fed, $4,000 rations being distributed
every day. The garbage is taken out
side the city and burned, and the
unhealthy parts of the city have been
drained. The police force in the city
and the lighthouse system in the har-
Dor have been re-established. The
courts are not in operation yet, but
General Wood sits each day as police
Judge. Since the Americans took the
city the customs receipts have been
100000. The present expenses at
tending the work of operating the
city, which are in some extent extra
ordinary, are about $4,000 week.
BY the effective measures adopted by
General Wood a general epidemic of
yellow fever has been averted. The
general hopes soon to start the schools
and thus get the children off the
streets.
