The War Stopped.

The war between Spain and the United
States, which began April 81, was stopped
by the signing of a peace protocol at the
White House in Washington on Friday
evening last.
The protocol was signed by VIM. Il. Day,
Secretary of State, representing the United
States, and Jules Cambon, French ambas-
sador, representing Spain.
As soon as the agreement had received
the official signatures orders were sent I'M
der President McKinley's direction, 10 the
American military and naval commanders
directing a suspension Of hostiities. The
President also issued a proclamation giving
notice OF the signing of the protocol.
The terms of the protocol are practically
the same as those proposed by the United
States soon after the negotiations began

West Indies, except Cuba, and an island in
the Ladrones to be selected by the United
States are TO be ceded TO this country Spain
will rellnquish all sovereignty over Cuba
The United States will hold the city, bay
and harbor Of Manila pending the conclu.
sion by the peace commission of treaty
establishing the future of the Philippines.
All the Spanish islands in the West Indies
are 10 be "immediateY evacuated and com
missioners are 10 meet at Havana and San
Juan 10 arrange the details Of the evacua-
ton.
A dispatch from Madrid, dated the 10Th
instant, says; The government has received
from Captain General Blanco a dispatch
rendering his resignation. The reason given
by General Bianco for resigning is that he
does not wish 10 superintend the evacuation
of Cuba.
1t Is believed that the Spanish govern
ment will decline TO accept the resignation
of Governors General Blanco and Augustin.
Havana kilograms present the Spanish
element in the colony as favoring American
annexation as the best means 10 insure pros
perity and avert anarchy.

In Memoriam.

Lines on the death of Miss Laura Estelle
Ray, Of Linden, Md, who died August /,
1898.
Why should we mourn Christians death
Why wish them back again;
Why would we have them linger here
In suffering and painp
Patient through suffering, like her Lord,
She speaks to you and me,
Oh let her gentle, loving life,
A perfect model be-
The chosen jewel of the flock,
He calls to lead the way,
Oh haste to seek your Laura's God,
Her warning voice obey.
But we are sad-these bitter tears,
Our true affections prove,
Our hearts would break could we not shed
These grateful tears of love.
Wen not forget that morn while yet
The parting moments fly,
She called her loved ones one by one
To say last good bye.
To each message full of love
From dying lips are given,
Oh may they prove beacon light,
To guide each one to Heaven.
Faithful her mission here on EARTH
Her victory noblY won,
Her crown with jewels all bedecked,
Her p.audt is swell done"
II faithful, we shall meet again,
In Heaven, her home on high;
Where in that land of Joy and song,
Wen never say good bye.

We concur in the above opinion and sug-

and build the road, regardless OF It's cost
There is nothing in the Act limiting the cost
Of construction to $4,000 This amount Is
to be borrowed, the balance, If any is re-

to wake. She fell asleep with hel
arms about me, thinking I shoulc
neve. leave her again. How could
have told her the truth? Who knows
whether 1 should have had the courage
to leave her after doing so? And
what would you have thought of me
if I had not come back =?
$50 I kissed her, and slipped away
like a thief while she was sleeping
and here 1 am. Pray God may be
good to her as she has been to me
Mon commandant, I have one more
thing to ask to finish quickly"
The officer looked at the boy with
mingled pity and admiration. Hi:
own eyes were full of tears.
"You are quite resigned, then
death does not frighten youP" he
asked.
Victor answered him with gesture
"And if I pardoned you ?"
"You would save my mothers life
too, and I would revere you as sec
ond father"
Gallons, you are a plucky lad, anG
you have not deserved to suffer as you
have done. You shall 90. Embrace
me first-bien Now 60, and &C
quickly. Join your mother, and love
her always"
AS be spoke the last few words the
officer took the boy by the shoulders
and pushed him away gently.
"It really would have been a pity
he said, half apologetically, to hi:
staff as he turned toward them.
Victor did not run-he flew home
His mother was still sleeping. HI
would dearly have liked to cover hel
with kissis, but he did not dare tt
wake her, although her sleep seemed
troubled. He lay down again beside
her.
Suddenly she sat up crying: "Mer
cy Victorl My child Oh! Mer
cy !-Ah you are here; is it really
you," she added, waking.
Her thin, weak hands wandered al
over him ; she pressed him close te
her and rained kisses on his face
Then she was shaken by convulsive
sobs, which Victor could not calm.
"Oh my boy my boy!" she moan
ed, II dreamed they were going tt
shoot you'll"

ROUGHLY SILENCED.-Archbishop
Whately had rough tougue-he was
called Ursa Major-the Great Bear
at Oxford-a fact unknown to young
aide-de. camp who at party in Dublin
Castle attempted to cross words with
the prelate. :,
Approaching the primate of Ireland,
the youth asked, "Does your grace
know what is the difference between
an ass and an archbishop"
"No," was the grave answer.
Then the youth went on, San ass
has a cross on his back, but an arch
bishop has cross on his breast"
"Very good" said the archbishop
"Now will you tell me what is the
difference between a young aide-de'
camp, like yourself, and az ass?"
~ don't know" said the youth.
"Neither do l." said the archbishop
and walked away.

TO You !

THEY were passing the inevitable SUBJ
= l. scription paper for the benefit Of the
family of the "good fellow" says The
Montreal Underwater, who had sudden
ly died. Said one business man: II
give this little for the relief Of their imme-
date wants, and I give under protest.
Nothing will give to create fund for
the relief Of the dead mans family, how
ever. You ask why? I reply because in
these enlightened days of life insurance
no man has right or excuse for leaving
a destitute family. He has no moral, and
he should have no legal right, to create a
family unless he has and will agree to
keep good-sized policy on his life. II
uninsurable, he should not be allowed TO
marry. I knew G. the deceased) well.
He had a good income and could have
been well insured. Now, why should l
or any other man be expected to CON
tribute out of our savings to pay G.'s
debts ?" Why should pay for his sell
fishness, or his carelessness or extrava,
gance? The idea that anybody should
but premium on selfishness is q wrong
idea, and these collections for destitute
families are responsible for much i'm
providence and selfish neglect of life in
surance. Men should be impressed with
a knowledge of their duty to save and
to insure by the entire absence OF any
makeshift in the form of post mortem
collection. Let US be just as well as gen.
erousD
