The Shell of Pandora.

Sir" cried the young lieutenant as he
hastily saluted the distinguished Spanish
admiral, "a 13-ineh shell from the enemy s
fleet has just dropped in the mud at the
margin of the inner harborl"
The eminent naval dodger smiled, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
And why this unseemly haste, my good
Alfonso?" he courteously asked. "Is there
danger that the missile will get away?''
mo, admiral cried the lieutenant cit
Is not that. But strange and almost ON
nous thing has happened. The shell did
moi burst, but when it struck the earth its
cover flew off and disclosed the fact that 1T
was full of papers. In fact, admiral, I
have taken the liberty of bringing them
here with me-"
And touching his cap the lieutenant
dumped mass of newspaper clippings on
the table and respectfully drew back

He stared wildly at the mass before him.
Then SKINNED through the atrocious Ger

He glanced at the caustic Cervera editor

Then he fell heavily forward.
When they revived him, he looked about
with a shudder, but the clippings were
gone.

He VIII Do.

A certain wealthy man of this city, says
the Detroit Free Press, has set his nephew
up in business three times, but the young
man lacks something essential to success
an the mercantile line, and failed with each
effort When he came with the fourth re-
quest for financial backing the uncle de-
INJURED.
You must learn to lean on yourself. y

life. 1t would be an unkindness in me 10
keep supplying you with money to carry
on enterprises that invariably end in as
signment. Ia tell you what I'll do You
owe good deal as the result of that last
failure. Pitch in on your own hook, and
go 1t alone until you pay those debts off
When you've done that I'll give you a
check for all they amount to. Such an
experience would do more good than all
the money I could give you''
Three months later the nephew walked
in with every claim receipted in full, and
the uncle was delighted as he gave him
the promised check.
That's something like 1t now, and I
warrant you feel all the better for the
nard training. How did you manage.

Now the cid gentleman is telling about
that there is the making of a great finan-

TnIking About winds.

They were talking one evening in I'm
Gle Silas' country store about hard winds
and strong winds, says the Philadelphia
Press.
Speaking Of storms" said Abe Will
cox, I've seen the wind blow so fast
that il blew the town clock back seven
teen days"
wen, WELL" said Cy Campbell, per
haps you have seen some strong blows,
but when I lived up in Montana my
neighbor carelessIy opened his door dur
ing a storm. Well, gentlemen, you may
think I am a liar, but the wind got right
in behind the door and turned the house
completely inside out"
And the MANI" gasped several in one
voice
"Oh, he just sat on the stove and the
wind carried him fourteen miles and
landed him in the top of a peach tree.
Pretty soon a side of bacon and a loaf
of bread came sailing by. and, gentle
men, I'm darned if he didn't light fire
and cook his breakfast right up in that
tree"
The clock in it's excitement struck
49, and the tomatoes turned pale.
THAT was quite windy" drawled I'm
Gle Silas, chief village liar, as he care
fully emptied his pipe into the sugar
barrel, that was quite windy, but out
in Nevada a friend of mine started to
leave his house while the wind was blow
ing rocks as big as pumpkins around the
town. Now, | don't expect you to believe
this, but before he reached the bottom of
the stairs there wasn't a stitch of clothing
left on his back! (Sensation.) Yes, sir, and
then the wind blew him up against wall
and fiattened him out as thin as a wafer
Next day his wife came and pried him off
with a shovel, and"
What did she do with him?" asked
Abner johnson.
what did she do with him? Why she
just busted him off and used him for a
floor mat" and as the company slowly
fled out of the door each man shuddered
as he eyed the hoary-headed liar with a
reproachful look.

1t Masn,t News to Him.

Mr.. Greville of Memoirs" fame was
persuaded, when he was over so years of
age, to attend a spiritualistic seance, saws
an exchange. Foster. the presiding me-
dunn, was in great form, and the revela-
tions were astounding. Greville sat silent
and his aged, wizened face was emotion
less as a mask. Suddenly the medium
grew excited. and said TO the old gentle
man:
"A female form is bending over you. oh.
the extraordinary likeness!'
Greville sighed.
"She lifts her hands to bless you.'
Greville sighed again.
1T is your mother"
"Ah, poor thing" said Greville; ST am
glad"
she smiles. She says all is well with
her.
"Grevlle sighed again and said 'I am
delighted"
She says she will see you soon. You
are old, and you must meet her before
long"
Then Greville quietly observed, That's
very true. I'm going to take tea with her
this evening"

Some Of the newspapers which are out
side of the yellow fever territory and
which know little or nothing about that
disease, are telling the country what Gen
Shafter will have to do with Santiago to
make the place healthy. They say that
he will have to give Santiago what Gen.
Butler gave New Orleans in 1852, namely,
a thorough cleaning.
There are many people in this country
who are thoroughly satisfied that Gen.
Butler kept yellow fever out of New Or
leans during the time the Union army
had charge of that city in the civil war
period. They may be right. 1t Is true
that Gen. Butler gave New Orleans
pretty thorough cleaning and it is also
true that there was little or no yellow
fever in the city while his troops occupied
it; but it doesn't follow that the cleaning
he gave it kept yellow fever out Of It,
The real reason, probably, why there was
no yellow fever in New Orleans while Gen
Buffers army was there was that there
were no ships from yellow fever infected
parts permitted there during that period
All shops from such ports were rigidly ex-
Guided from the Mississippi river.
From 1879 until 1S97-a period of eighteen
years-New Orleans had no yellow fever.
and yet 1t cannot be said that her sani-
| tary condition was particularly good. but
during those years a very strict quaran-
tine was maintained against fever-infected
ports. The presumption, therefore, is that
New Orleans was kept free
from yellow fever for eight
cen years by means of quaran-
tine and not by sanitary measures, and
| If it was kept out during the period from
1879 to 1897 by means of quarantine. why
| isn't it fair to assume that II was kept
out by means of quarantine rather than
| by sanitary measures when Gen. Butler
occupied the city?
There is no doubt that a clean city is
much less lklble to an epidemic of yellow
fever than a dirty one. but it has not been
shown yet that yellow fever will not be-
come epidemic in town that is in a good
sanitary condition. In the great epidemic
of 1878 good many places occupying ele-
waited locations and well drained suffered
from the fever
Gen. Shafter should, Of course, give San
tiago thorough cleaning, if he occupies
it with his army, but by doing so he will
not be sure of keeping the yellow fever
out of the place.
In the North the belief is widespread
that the yellow fever can be kept out of
any place by enforcing good sanitary reg
ulatiOns. The belief is based upon Gen.
Buffers experience an New Orleans. but
it doesn't appear that New Orleans
wouldn't have had the fever during Gen.
Buffers occupation of It if the port had
been open to ships from yellow fever in
fected ports.

Mistaken About the south.

! When the war with Spain began some of
| the Spanish newspapers stated that the
| Southern states OF the union would not
! give the government a loyal support, hut
would seize the opportunity which the war
| presented to reassert their adherence to
the cause for which they contended in the
war Of secession. These Spanish newspa-
! pers were mistaken. They knew nothing
! of the Southern people. Their assertion
was based upon the hope that the South
would not support the government.
But the Spanlards were not the only ones
who were mistaken. Some of.the editors of
Northern Republican papers had an along
encouraged the idea that it would not be
advisable TO trust Southern men in high
places in the government. They had ex-
pressed that idea whenever Southern men
came into prominence in Congress and the
different departments. They were very
much surprised therefore at the prompt
ness with which the Southern states rails
ed their quotas of troops, and still more
surprised when young Southern men In the
navy, like Bagley and Hobson, came 10 the
front on account OF their conspicuous deeds
of daring. We speak of young Southern
men, because there are, very few Southern
men in the navy beyond middle life, South
ern men having been eliminated from it by
the civil war.
These Northern Republican editors are
beginning to wonder how they could have
been so greatly mistaken about the South
ern people; how they could have formed so
Incorrect a judgment in respect 10 them.
The truth is they were so partisan that
they could not see how the Southern people
could be loyal to the government and yet
refuse 70 believe that all that was great
and good and desirable in politics was not
TO be found in the Republican party. In
other words, they thought because South
ern men rejected the Republican party they
could not be loyal to the government. The
war with Spain has, partly at least, open
ed their eyes to the fact that they them
selves were at fault, that their misjudg-
ment of the South was due to their own
narrow and partisan spirit Now that it
has been made apparent to even the most
partisan of the Republican editors that
the honor and glory of the country is just
as dear to the South as 1t is TO the North
it is probable that from neither the Span
iards nor Republican editors shall We
again hear the loyalty of the South ques-
toned.

The Consent of the Governed.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem,

The people of Hawaii have been given
no opportunity to vote upon the question
of this transfer of sovereignty to a for
eign power. The people of the United
States have not been given, and are not
to be given, an opportunity to vote on
the question of its acceptance.
1t Is a bargain and sale between parties
not specially authorized by the people of
either country to make the dicker. The
people of neither country are to be given
the opportunity of deciding whether the
deal shall be ratified.
Is this in accordance with the funda-
mental principle of the Declaration of In
dependence that to secure the right to
life liberty and the pursuit Of happiness,
governments are instituted among men.

Interest in the latest flag incident in
volving the return Of captured Confeder-
ate flags to their former owners, seems
10 have about petered out. While the
Southern people would appreciate
the return of the old flags, as
articles of historic interest, they
are not giving themselves any trou-
bic about them. If the North
thinks well of the proposition to send them
back, well and good. they will be ac-
cepted in the spirit in which they are sent;
but if they should not be returned it would
not make the slightest difference. There is,
however one thing which the South would
like TO have, and that, as the Richmond
Dispatch suggests, is access to the muster
rolls of the Confederacy. These rolls were
captured at Richmond and Danvile and
are now in the custody of the war depart
ment. Under the rigid rules of the de-
partment no copy of them can be made,
except by its high-priced clerks. Copies
of the rolls desired would cost $4,000
if made by the department clerks, and
about one-tenth that sum if made by pri-
vate copyists.

Memphis, Mobile, Birmingham and other
Southern cities are talking up an odd
time Fourth OF JULY celebration for this
year. Before the civil war the Fourth
was celebrated in the South with as much
enthusiasm as any other part of the coun-
try; since that period, however, compar-
atively little interest has been taken in
the holiday in this section, for reasons
which have now been entirely wiped out.
There is no good reason why the whole
United States should not throb with pa
triotic orations futter with bright bunt-
ing and smell to heaven of burned gun
powder on the next Fourth of July; on
the other hand there are many reasons
why the country should do these very
things.

The New York newspapers announce
that in accordance with an order of Gov.
Black of New York, Brig. Gen. Howard
Carroll and Maj. Theodore L. Poole, Off
GERS of the militia, are making an inspec-
ton of the New York volunteer troops in
the different military camps. Gen. Car
ron and Maj. Poole are now inspecting
Camp Alger in Virginia, but they will
soon be at Chickamauga and from there
they will visit Tampa and Jacksonville
camps.
We do not see what benefit the junketing
trip of these two militia officers win be
TO the New York volunteers. Il may he
that it is not intended to be of benefit
TO them. They have friends, however.
who have votes, and it is safe to pre-
dict that Gov. Black is a candidate for re-
election. He doesn't want his opponent
whoever he may be- to have a chance to
say that New York $ volunteers were neg
iected by the state authorities, and he
wants to be in a position to say, when
the political campaign opens next fall
that he made special efforts to see that
the wants of the New York volunteers
families of soldiers were taken care Of
IT is not improbable therefore that the
mission of Gen. Carroll and Maj. Poole
is in the interest of Gov. Black rather than
of the volunteers
Gen. Carroll and Maj. Poole may be
very conscientious officers, but what are
they likely to find more than the volun-
teers officers would report if such officers
felt that there was need of Gov. Blacks
interference in behalf of the volunteers?
About all that goes on in the camps is
reported in the newspapers. The greatest
publicity is given to whatever complaints
tho volunteers have to make In fact,
there is nothing that Gen. Carroll and
Maj Poole can tell the Governor that he
doesn't know. Therefore, 1t looks as if
the inspection tour was merely a junket-
ing trip OF two militia officers at the ex-
pense of the state, undertaken 10 advance
the political fortunes of the Governor.
As far as the volunteers are concerned,
it would be better for them to get it out
of their minds that the politicians of their
respective states are waiting for a chance
