SI.oo A YEAR.
EAST MARYVILLE.

These are sad days for the poor
reader. One paper declares in
prominent headlines "Was due to
Spontaneous Combustion" Another
paper published exactly the same
hour and containing the same dis
patches, states in equally glowing
headlines, "Disaster was Due TO
Spanish Plot" And he has put
both Of them down, more bewildered
than when he took them up, After
careful reading of all the statements
published in regarnd to the blowing
up of the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor we are of the opinion that
something really did happen to that
Jessel and that is about all we know
about it. If the Spanards are guilty
of the deed we are ready to say in
the language OF Capt Gibson:
Polish up my rusty saber,
Dig up my blunderbuss.
I'll forsake my field of labor
And will fight the Spanish Cuss
I'll have none of moderation,
For my spirits sorely tried.
Naught will sooth my perturbation
But piece Of Spanish hide.
Pm warrier! Do you hear me?
Clear the track! Don't stop the way!
Those who know me best all fear me,
When l start there's TO pay.
Turn me loose once! Let me atem
And you'll hear heavy thud,
Then I'll llproudly march to Cuba
With bucket full Of blood.

10 set apart place where children under

OF the large collection of books for Juveniles
in the library
IN accordance with this idea q long room

tne quarters devoted TO the accommodation
OF the ollnd and of the jefferson collection
OF books. 1t is light and CHEEKY apart
Hent and will be furnished with rugs, tables
ana chalrs, and two ladies will be placed in
charge.
There are 10000 or 1900 books in the
horary which are suitable for children's s
reading, and these will be placed in the
room, TO be delivered by the attendants
Inc reading room will be open from a. m.
uhtli 10 p- -m., and the little visitors welcome
TO remain and read during good behavior.
II they are ill-behaved they will be bundled
home to their mothers.
No date has been fixed for the opening

were Unwilling to answer these points until
they heard what the Americans proposed to

This Is Why Spain contended that the artI-
cles Of the treaty be disposed of in their
order, while the Americans wanted 20 first

a fight on the order of procedure.

rejected in its entirety. The session then
adjourned with neither side in an especially
amiabe frame of mind.

The cabinet has not yet talked of cur
rency Legislation or the advisability of an
