BANQUET TO THE DEAD.

A unique banquet was held in
Ligonier, Ind. The participants were
members of the Anti-Smelling society,
which had its inception about twenty
years ago, when twelve young men
bound themselves into this body,
whose object is only known by it's
members. On the night of Jan. IL OF
each year, according to their rules,
the surviving members must banquet
the dead members, and plates are laid
for the dead ones. This custom must
be continued until but one member
lives. when he must banquet all the
dead members. A loving cup, with
each members name inscribed there
On, goes to the member who last sur
wives. The society is the only one OF
its kind in America. There are about
ten members still living.

A NEEDLE BOOK.

The accompanying sketch shows a
very dainty needlecase that can be
carried out in various ways. Two
pieces of card, neatly covered with
silk or satin, could be painted or en-
breidered on one outside panel with a
fantiful design such dis is here sug-
gested. Again, thin whitewood
panels could be employed instead OF
card, and here l would use pen and
ink to illustrate my ideas while in the
burnt poker work now so popular
such a design would look particularly

added round the extreme edge of such
case, and smartly-tied bow Of

be carried out in making larger case,
such as a portfolio for music or

inside to hold the papers or music in

HOW TO WRITE FICTION.

Read UP on United States history
you will get some useful nation,
anyway-and see what you can do
with that. Don't take your scene
from France or Italy, where you have
never been. Hcme is nearer and
just as good. If you can light upon
an idea which has not been done to
death, or a situation unhackneyed or
unfamiliar, make the most of it. New
England has been so run upon that
it affords material only to few ex-
perts; the middle states and those be-
tween the Ohio and the Rockies, To-
cally speaking, are poor literary
field; but the south and far west are
not worked out yet. Avoid dialect;
as main reliance its day is done.
Avoid "hifalutin," spread-eagle, and
riproaring styles; they are of the yet
remoter past. Find out what your
bent is, if you have any, and what you
have to say, if anything; If not, seek
other pursuits. Remember that poor
story or essay is of less value than
a peck of inferior apples, and that
the author of bad novel is entitled
to no more respect than shoemaker
or farmer who does not understand
his business. The pioneers of our
literature may have done what now
seems poor work, but they knew no
better then, and had nothing BETTER
they we're pioneers, and as such en-
titled to place in history; but no
body is going to write the history
of the multifarious literary efforts of
our time that come to nothing.
Whatever you do, take pains with it.
Try at least to write good English;
learn to eriticise and correct your
work; put your best into every SEN
tence. If you are too lazy and care
less to do that, better go into trade or
politics; it is easier to become con-
gresham or millionaire than real
author, and we have too many bad
story-tellers as it is.-Lippincott's
Magazine.

The Navy Department posted bulletin
yesterday morning stating that Capt.
Sigsbee reports that on Wednesday afier-
noon the st. Paul, while off San Juan,
Porto Rico. was attacked by a Spanish
unprotected cruiser and the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Terror. The st.
Paul bit the Terror three times, killing
one officer and two men. The Terror got
under cover of the Notifications and was
towed into the harbor in a sinking condi-
ton.
By proclamation issued by the Presi-
dent yesterday the blockade has been ex-
tended To include all the ports on the
south coast of Cuba and the port of San
Juan in the island OF Porto Rico.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to prevent the escape of Admiral

that the wreck of the Merrimae docs not

Rough Riders shot.

AeUApoREs, June p, via Playa del
E.te.-Ten of Roosevelts Rough Riders
we're killed in an engagement this morn
ing with a Spanish force that ambushsd
them. These troops had requested that
they be sent TO the front at once, and they
we're ordered to march over ths foothills
from Baquiri last night
AMER a forced march the troopers dis
mounted. They were then eight miles
distant from Santiago. They heard the
Spaniards telling trees short distance
from them, and they were ordered 10 ad-
vance upon the enemy.
The country about is covered with high
grass and chaparral, and in this a strong
force of the Spaniards was hidden. As
the Americans moved forward they were
met By whitening fire.
Col. Leonard Wood and Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt led the charge with
great bravery. They scorned to hide
themselves in the grass or underbrush as
the enemy did, and ultimately they drove
the enemy back toward Santiago, inflict-
ing heavy losses upon them.
The Rough Riders were supported by
the Second Massachusetts, Volunteers and
the First Regular Cavalry.
The American loss is 10 killed and 81
wounded.
A number of Cubans took part in to
days lighting. and forty of them were
killed.
Edward Marshall, correspondent OF
the New York Journal. was at the front
with the Rough Riders, and was seriously
wounded.
The Rough Riders have received high
praise from General Shafter for the gallant
style in which they defeated the Span.
iards. The enemy was utterly routed.

From The New York Tribune.
The latest accounts of Spain's sentiments
on the su ,ject of peace-making rurports
10 come from the private secretary Of the
Spanish prime minister. and is published
through the medium of lie Petit Bleu, o f
Brussels. The gist of it is that Spain
wants peace, that she would especially
like to get it through French or Austrian
mediation l. tLat she is ready 10 accept
any peace proposal submitted, on the ex-
press condition that il does not emanate
from the enemy"
II is natural that she should want peace,
for she must realize the hopelessness OF
further conflict with the power she once
despised and threatened to crush. 1t is
natural that she should desire the good
offices of either France or Austi ia. for the
ore is her next nei zhbor and chief credit
or and the other is of close dynastic kin.
Perhaps the final prov iso is natural, too.
But it must be natural TO nothing but the
most purblind pride and incorrigible in
fatuatiOn.
For, whatever conditions of peace may
or may not be granted. that one assuredly
will not be. No matter what mediator
Spain may or may not ge., the peace
proposals she must accept will be those
that emanate from the enemy. Let that
be unfailingly borne in mind. The Uni
ted States and no other power is at war
with Spain. in war of Spain's own seek
ing: and the United States and no other
power will settle the terms of peace.
Some other government may serve as a
go-between, to facilitate negotiations, but
it will have no voice in declaring terms
of peace. It will merely report to Spain
the proposals that 'emsnate fron. the
enemy" and report back 20 the United
States her acceptance or rejection of
them.
II has been Spain's misfortune to have
other experience and observation. She
has had her own affairs settled by con-
ferences of the powers. She has seen
wars ended and peace restored by con-
certed action OF the powers, over the
heads of the belligerents. And she seems
10 have got the notion that all wars, with
whatever power, may be settled in that
way. The sooner she gets rid of that
notion the better for her. 1t is erroneous
and mischievous. The power with which
she has now 50 msdly and wickedly pro-
volIed a war is one that joins no concerts
and accepts no dictation, but fights out
its own qnarrels, and at the end makes its
own terms of peace.

TIE enemies of the Republican party

Telegraph, have been trying to get to-
gether for some time il the hope that
they could defeat the Republican ticket,
but the trouble with them is that they
all want to be "ItD with big I, and
that is the rock they split on. Why
don't they behave themselves and take
their licking with q good grace? They
are sure to get it as good and hard as
they did two years ago when President

AT THE Cambria county Republican
primaries Saturday Alvin Evans, Esq,
received the endorsement for Congress,
which completes the list of candidates
who will go into the district confer
ence. The candidates from the four
counties composing the congressional
district are the same as two years ago.
Hicks has the conferrees from Blair,
Thropp from Bedford, KOOser from
Somerset, and Evans from Cambria.
In view of the last conference we would
suggest to the several candidates that
they go TO work Al the earliest praetica-
BILE day and knock out a. nomination.
There should be no monkey business
this year like that of two years ago;
and the Republicans Of this district
are not likely TO tolerate with patience
a repetition of the disgraceful proceed
ings that characterized the congress
