Maj. Gen. Black, acting governor of
Hongkong, has issued a proclamation
stating that, having received official no
tice from the British colonial secretary
that state of war exists between Spain
and the United States, he calls on all Brit
ish subjects to observe the neutrality
laws.
Commodore Dewey has informed the
governor that he will depart for British
waters Immediately.
The Boston, Concord and Petrol have
sailed for Mirsbay, about thirty miles
from Hongkong.
The Olympia, Baltimore and Raleigh
will Join the others tomorrow. All six
have been painted the color of gray fog
and are fully laden with coal, ammunition
and supplies.
o. F. Williams, United States consul at
Manila, is expected to arrive on Tuesday
with important news as to the condition
of affairs in the Philippines.
The anchorage in Mrsbay is in Chinese
jurisdiction and the fleet can there COM
plete its preparation for active service.
The Washington correspondent of the

within the next few days.
Official information, 1t is understood,
has reached Washington Of the departure
today of the squadron from Hongkong,
where 1t has been making preparations for
the work which the navy department has
laid out for 1t to perform. Accompanying
the men of war are the revenue cutter
Hugh Mccullough and a number Of col
liers conveying coal and other stores
needed for the fleet in its operations
against the Spanish naval service In the
waters of the Philippines and against the
fortihcations of Manila and other seaports
of those islands.
No Orders Given
WASHINGTON, April 25.-From the
fact that the state department has not
been called upon SO far to prepare any
proclamation giving notice of blockade
Of either Porto Rico or the Philippines, II
| may be set down as a fact that the nava
forces are not yet ready to move in thai
direction. 1t Is the practice. as shown II
the proclamation relative to the blockade
Of Cuban ports. to give due notice to the
foreign powers by proclamation of an in
tention to blockade, and although it is not
absolutely necessary to follow the course
1t is believed the state department will
observe the usual rule. 1t is entirely with
in the province of an admiral command.
ing, if in his opinion an emergency exists
sufficient to justify it, to establish the
blockade first and then give notice, and in
the case of the Philippines it is just pos
sible such course might be followed ir
order that the Spanish naval force now al
Manila might not be given an opportunit,
to escape capture at the hands of the
United States Asiatic squadron.

Religious Liberty.

tConcIuded from Last Week. ]

rConcluded from Last Week.
INT HAS been held by the highest courts in the land
IL that State statute prohibiting the running OF
trains on Sunday, where such trains ran from or
into another State unconstitutional, because
Congress alone has the power of regulating COM
merce between the States and Congress had passed
no law prohibiting the running of trains on Sunday,
therefore the State could not usurp that power But
if the train did not go beyond the borders Of the
State and did not come from another place into the
State, the State Sunday law would be upheld as
stitutional.
The full scope meaning, and effect of the consttu-
tional guaranty OF religious liberty is first, to keep
Church and State separate; and secondly, to allow
the free practice and enjoyment of the subjects rel
gous profession free from any official disturbance or
interference in the exercise thereof but with this linn
tation-that in it's exercise injury must not be done
to the rights of others or to the public which rights
Of others and the rights of the public sacred
and fully constitutonally guaranteed the free
dom Of religious worship. Nor does religious freedom
that all religious practices will be tolerated
der such constitutional guaranty. Mormonism with
its practice of poygamy, and the practices Of the
Phoencians in immolating human sacrifices in the
ignigenous of Moloch are religious practices
subversive of the general welfare, for the promotion
of which all civilized governments should exercise
their best endeavors That these practices are sub
versive of the general welfare is not Judged from the
standpoint of Mormonisnn, the religion of the
Phoncians, but by the standard OF the predominant

The religious practices Of the Salvation Army

gether form professions for POLITICAL religious,

repressive power these movements except when
they create public disturbances, operate as NUS

public private mischief"
Some learned Judges have often remarked that
this is Christian alton Viewed in the light OF the
general welfare towards the promotion of which it
is the duty of all governmental functionares and IN
dviduas to contribute, this is true And as critic
rion by which all moral acts which come within the
sphere of legal cognzance to be Judged this is
sentaly Christian country. And this is so, not be-
the Christian religion has in itself claim to
promotion integral part of the general welfare.
On the contrary, Congress is prohibited from making
any laws respecting the establishment OF religion,
and it certainly cannot promote that which it can
not establish without indirectly doing that which it
cannot by law do directly, but because the greater
number of subjects allegiance to Christian
Cod which is by them regarded higher than the allie
glance which they to their country. And IN
promoting the general welfare of the subjects the law
must consider the condition Of such subjects with all
their administration being which those sub
ects owed higher allegiance to than the law when they
collectively became members of our present United
States and doing the greatest good to the greatest
number protect them in the exercise of their
ligon in order promote their general welfare In
other words the laws should protect their religion in
order they themselves may be protected and the gen
eral welfare promoted. And this is because the
Christians regard the duty owing Divine law as
higher than that owing to human law; hence there
is higher law in this country than the Constitution
the law of the Christian God 1t Isl nevertheless the
duty Of this country to protect in the promotion of
the general welfare the exercise of the religions OF
non-Christians, but the Christian divine law is
higher law than human law, the exercise OF non
Christian religions must not interfere with the

D eafness Can Not be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube IS
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Cattle In Texas.

The Texas Live Stock Association,
one Of The largest live stock organiza-
tiOns in the country, is now holding
It's annual meeting in ST. Louis, Mo.
Some idea of the importance Of the
industry it represents may be judged
when it is stated that the best authOri-
ties on the subject estimate that there
are now in Texas something over 6, ,5OO,-
900 head of cattle, Ofall classes. This Is
about tone-seyenth of all the cattle in the
United States The aggregate value Of
these {, 500, 900 cattle is over SlO0, coo, COO
Some idea Of the activity of the Texas
cattle market may be had when il IS
stated that fully one-fifth Of the $500,
600 cattle in the State have changed
hands during the past sixty days, which
would make the aggregate amount in
volved IN these transactions something
like 10000, 600. The principal cattle
market in Texas is San Antonio, and
scores Of the leading cattlemen from all
parts of the State have been making
this city their headquarters for the past
three or four months. The cattle trans
actions eGnsummated here during one
week in the month Of December aggre-
gated S3 900, ,OG0.
There were about 1S5, 900 head Of Tex
as cattle at the different oil mills on
what is known rs "first feed,D and be-
fore the season closes about =, 900 more
head will be placed on "second feed. "
1t is estimated that about - per cent.
Of the ''lirst feed' cattle have already
gone to market.

Clim tie and Health.

a change Of climate is highly recon-
mended by physicians to those who
suffer from many Of the prevailing dis
eases of life; indeed, this change seems
a sort of panacea for all Of the ills and
cares of existence.
While variety is unquestionably adj
vantageous to sick people, it is some
times quite as much so to those who
are well, but a profound study of the
change of climate theory fails to estab-
lish the belief that there is as much III
this as the fancy of the wOuld-be tour
ist and his friends and physicians would
wish US to think. One is Ill either from
an accumulation of waste matter in the
system or from lack of vitality. In the
one case the physical machinery has
been cIogged until it is almost past
moving; in the other there must be
some portion Of the system that does
not act properly, and is, therefore,
equivalent to a broken cog in wheel
or leak in steam pipe. Something
is wrong. The question naturally arises,
is change of climate going to effect
cure? 1t is an expensive remedy, and
in many cases an unattainable one.
Under these circumstances it is the
duty of philosophers and scientists to
bring to the door Of the sufferer who
cannot get away from his environment
some remedy that will tide him over
the shoals and quicksands of his i'm
mediate present. When the Creator
of oil things put together such an in
tricate and amazing bit of machinery
as the human frame. He provided
for It not only the means Of going on
in its regular course, but Of restoring
lost vitality and correcting many
evils.
One of the most important items in
health culture is to keep the lungs and
heart in good condition. 1t is possible
to breath sufficient air to so oxygenate
the blood that it will consume the

People who feel dull, heavy, stupid, un-
willing to exert themselves, indeed, of
en- unable to do so, will find that a reg
ular course Of breathing exercise will be
of more benefit to them than all the
medicine in creation. There are many
times when the use of medicines mere
ly aggravates the existing i'll. Itis sim
ply further accumulation of undesira-
ble material that must be carried about
until nature is assisted to cast off or
burn it up. This, in many instances,
is all the benefit that comes from such
migration.

Butter without a Cow.

A Baltimore inventor asserts that he !
has discovered a process of making but
Ter direct from the vegetables which
constitute the usual food Of cattle
Electricity IS the force employed, snd
according to the Boston Herald, the in
ventor evolved his process from the
discovery that tae peculiar Charseteris-
tic traits of different varieties Of butter,
cheese, etc, were owing to two general
causes. One was the kind Of food on
which the COW was fed; the other was
the kind of mierohe nourished at and by
the roots of the plant which furnished
the fOod to the COW.
He succeeded in producing from the
vegetable kingdom oils which differed
very slightly from those Of the animal
kingdom. Having gone this far, the
next step was to change the vegetable
oil by giving it the sarle chemical con
stitution as that possessed 10y the animal
article desired.
The secret in this part Of the process
the inventor found to consist in the fact
that animal and vegetable carbohy-
dra,es strongly resemble each other.
The differences which are found in oils
are nearly all owing TO the nitrogenous
sheaths in which the globnles Of oil are
contained. Thus 10 this sheath is due
the tallOwy smell of talIOw, the NUT
ton smell Of mutton, as well as all
the rank odors of many vegetable
oils.
When oils are extracted by heat, or
the mechanical violence Of pressure, the
deleterious nitrcgenous characteristics
Of the glObule sheaths are impaired to
the oil globules themselves, and no art
can separate them afterward. Here
comes in the great discovery in the use
of the electric light.
It was found that, when these oils
and fats were subjected to the radiant
energy Of powerful electric light, the
heterogeneous sheaths were shriveled, and
their contents put in condition TO be
MIXED out or extracted by gentle
pressure, without being contaminated
by the characteristics Of the animal or
plant itself
Another effect was also produced.
Whatever microbe was associated with
any particular oil or fat was killed by
the actinie power of the light, thus leav-
ing the article free from any of its
native microbes and ready to be used
as culture medium for any desired
microbe.
Among the microbes destroyed by
the light are those which cause putre-
faction and decay. As a result, the
various kinds CT butter, ekeese, etc,
made under the new process show re-
markable keeping powers, far surpass-
ing those produced hy the oId-fashiOned
methods.
For the same reason, the new articles
are not affected by any diseases, such
as tuberculosis and typhoid fever,
which may be carried and transmitted
in the milk Il cows, as well as by
contamination from barnyard associa-
ti0ns.

In old times, when the country was
new, and shops and stores were days
journey from the door Of the house
holder, borrowing appeared sometimes
a necessity. The good man or woman
of tie house came 10 an emergency
where nothing bat call upon the
neighbors seems 10 meet the case. In
most instances lending was a cheerful
courtesy, aud the borrower merely felt
under obligations 10 reciprocate il ocoa-
sion offered. But every community
had wbas might be called its profes-
siOnal borrowers - families who. per-
haps, were not as improvident as they
were greedy and selfish. What they
borrowed they didn't have to buy, and
anything obtained in this way was
clear gain. They would borrow any
thing that the neighbors would lend
them, from the carving knife to the
family carriage, and it was 8 fortunate
circumstance indeed, if the things came
back in good condition. No matter
what the breakage, the entire family
would testify that it was cracked and
came to pieces almost Immediately.
Borrowing, with some people. is a
most equivalent to peremptory de-
mand for ones property without the
slightest idea or intent Of compensa-
ton. There is one kind Of borrower,
however, who is more difficult to get
along with than all the rest. i. is the
man who comes on ones premises in
the absence of responsible persons and
takes away what he wants, telling his
neighbors afterward that as nobody
was home be took the article, for he
was sure the owner would not mind.
Possibly the owner might not mind so
much if the thing were returned
promptly aud in good order; but il IS
likely to be something Of every. Gay ne
cessity, the lack OF which causes its
owner great inconvenience, if not Sc
rious loss.

Then Princess Pauline turned slowly
in her saddle and looked with flashing
eyes at her companion.
"His own?n she echoed haughtily.
''who tells you that l am his to claim ?''
"But did not your own lips say so on
that terrible day?''
"You are dreaming; it was your lips

1t took little time to convince both
Brentner himself and the regiment at
large that Princess Pauline was serious,
and that behind her numerous fiirta-
tions of the past two years there had
been slowly growing up an interest
destined to ripen into love-in the dark,
silent man who kept so studiously in
the background, but in whose eyes she
bad early read a devotion fsr more real,
passion far purer than was mirrorcd
in the smiling faces of her more brill
liant and youthful admirers.
By what means she succeeded in OBJ
tanning the old Princes consent to her
marriage always remained mystery
to the world, as great a mystery as the
exact scene between father and daugh-
ter which had taken place on the occa-
sion OF the famous reprieve.-Dorothea
