QUEEN RECENT
OF Spain Makes Il Sort of
Declaration of War and
Appeals to the Spanish
People to Stand Behind
Her Sons Throne.

MADRID, Spain, April 20.-The
spanish Cortes convened. The Queen
Regent read a speech. She narrowly
escaped making a declaration of war
when she said in her speech Spain had
hitherto submitted to the threats ar d
injuries on the part Of the people of
the United States as not being the gen.
ulne expression of the American ma
ton, but in becoming national they
will oblige me to break relations with
the United States. She appealed to
the Spanish reople 10 gather behind
her sons throne.

ROAD HOUSE.
The Road House West of the
City Along the National
Road to Reopen

The road house west of the city along
the National road, that has had such a
varied career, is to be opened soon
once again, and this time Eddie Chris
man, under his real name, J E. Greer,
is TO be the nominal proprietor.
The place was originally opened
some three years ago, and has been
closed perhaps half a dozen times
since. Perry Long, one of the pro
prietors, is now a refugee, and the
man who tended bar for him spent sew
eral months in the county Jail. 1t has
never been productive of mint of
money to its proprietors, and has al
ways been looked upon with the dis
favor with which road houses are
usually regarded.

WILL FIGHT.
Sagasta Speaks for the Spanish
Government and Says it Has
Reached the Limit of COnces-
sion.

MADRID. Spain, April I9.-The sup.
porters of the government III both
houses of parliament met in the senate
chamber at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, addressed
them as follows:
The times are so grave and circum-
stances are so exceptional that acts and
not words are necessary to face the
pressnt difficulty. Attempts are being
made to sully the glorious history of
Spain by an Infamous calumny. The
different Spanish governments have
done their utmost to avert the war to
which we are being provoked. We
have now reached the limits of conces
sion compatible with honor and terri
torial integrity.
I'VE consented to the last
concession at the instance of
tho Pope and the powers. We
yielded, in fact; but now attempts are
made upon our honor and meraces di-
rected against our territory. That is a
thing to which Spaniards will never
consent. (Applause.) This is not the
TO trace a parliamentary pro-
gram, but the moment 70 unite our
selves, as our fathers have done, in the
face of an odious attempt against the
of our territory. The insult
offered us today is the most infamous
that has ever been offered" (Pro
longed applause.)
Continuing, Senior Sagasta coun-
seled the rapid constitution of the
chambers in order to accord to tn
the means to defend the
country's interests.
Spain" he added, will not allow
a parcel of her tarritory to be taken
from her with impunity, nor will she
be party TO any trafficking for her
possessions. Prolonged and enthusi-
astic cheers greeted the speech.

THE QUICK HORSE.
An ontgrowth of Improved American
 Methods of Fire Fighting.

In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Quick Horse" by F. s. Dellen- baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod ern fire department. Mir. Dellenbaugh says: It is only within recent years that quick horses have been developed and appreciated and admired, and the poet has not yet attempted to sing the praises of this more prosaic but noble animal. Yet, after all, to one who carefully ex- amines the matter the quick horse ap- pears to have quite as good, if not bet. ter, claim upon our admiration and sympathy and encouragement. The swift horse wins the race, and in these days ho may cause considerable money to change hands, in which there is cer- tainly nothing that is eommendable. But the quick horse write about saves life, saves property and under modern conditions of life Is essential to our safety and general we'll being. He Is the result indirectly of poor bnilding- an outgrowth of our skillful American fire departments, which could not now exist without him.
 Not 30 very many years ago when 6 fire broke out everybody far and near began to run and especially began to yell, and the volunteer firemen of that time, being in the service for the excite mont of 1t, joined in the yell and start ed out the old hand engine from it's sol. emn repose, while the foreman running ahead shouted innumerable orders hoarsely through his trumpet, to the great delight of hundreds of small boys panting to keep up in the glorious race.
 The fire--that was altogether see- ondary matter, and when they all final iy got there they went to work with more or less efficiency. There was a great deal of fun in the business, but fires were not extinguished. Our cities in the early days were not built to pre- vent fires, but seemed, if anything. ra- ther built to encourage them.
 In France we may well be amused as we watch the pompier corps trundle its bathtub on wheels to the scene of the confagration and deliberately fill it's apartments with water dipped up from the gutter, whence 1t is thrown by q little pump upon the flames, because we know much of the architecture there is solid, and if the fire is not extinguished it will soon burn itself out. But in ouI counsry mere spark may in few sec. onds become a devouring furnace and destroy house after house and block aft or block. Many buildings are finder boxes, and our dry climate adds to theil infammability, while the ever present careless or lazy workman by improper construction gives the fire it's first op Dortunity.

Lady barristers will certainly be 8 novelty. and there seems no particular reason why they should not be successful novelty. "The gift of the gab' has al. ways been 8 woman's attribute, and when to this she adds discretion, know ledge and good looks she bids fair to prove formidable rival to her male competitors. Whether her prudence will be equal to her zeal, her tact equal to her enthusiasm, remains to be proved, but in cases where women have conduct ed their own cases they have generally done it efficiently, as those who remem- Der Mrs. Weldon and other ladies versed in the law must acknowledge.

He Prayed EloquentIy, but Gestured 8
 Little Too Forcibly.
 Uncle Nose came down from the country to visit his son, who worked in the livery stable. Uncle Nose was a deacon in little country church and was noted for his long, fervent prayers, but when his son Ike took him to the colored church in the city and when he heard the organ and gazed upon the we'll dressed darkies he felt as if the Lord was long ways off. Uncle Nose had met the parson the day before, and what was his surprise when that person said during services, Well all join in pra'r wid Brother Nose Smith" Uncle Nose went down on his knees and threw his deep voice and soul in prayer which shook the rafters As he came to the close his old white head was shak- ing and his voice was bringing each saint and sinner to the shouting point:
 70 Lawd, we know dat we is weak in dy sight an hab been follerin after things which sabor uv de debil, but, o Lawd, we know dat dow in dy rich ness of mercy gwine tuw swipe hit offen de big book an say, 'Yo' count is squah.
