Pioneer Women .1ournnllets.

Of the 57 newspapers in the Ameri- can colonies at the time of the Revo- lution, says E. Cora Depuy in The Household Realm, several were owned and managed by women.
 The first newspaper published in Rhode Island was owned and edited by Mrs Anna Franklin and established in 1732. She and her two daughters wrote the items and set the type, and their servants worked the printing press. For her thickness and correctness Mrs. Franklin was appointed printer to the colony, supplying pamphlets to the colonial officers. In 1772 Glementine Reid was publishing paper in Virginia called the Virginia Gazette, favoring the colonial cause and greatly offending the royalists, Two years later Mrs. H. Boyle started paper under the same name, advocating the cause of the crown. Both were published at Will liamsburg, and both were short lived.
 In 17T3 Elizabeth Timothy started a paper in Charleston. After the Revolu- tion Anna Timothy became it's editor and was appointed state printer, which position she held for IF years. About the same time Mary Crouch started a paper in Charleston in vigorous opposi- tion to the stamp act She afterward moved it to Salem, Mass, and eontin' ued it's publication for many years.

Novel Ideas In I2raidinp.

Satin ribbon braiding is new and pretty, and when well done has quite a professional air The ribbon should be narrow and usually black, of good quaI- ity. In turning a corner or making a circular figure the inside edge should be gathered in very fine stitches, which are drawn tightly and holds the figure in shape. The rage for braid has ex- tended it's use, and the old time braided pillowshams and counterpanes are said to be the coming style in bedroom fur

Artists' Fa,lu.s,a.

"Do not, let me beg of you, be afraid of SO called failures, said well known artist addressing his class. "They are only stepping stones to success, the premiums we all must pay for experi- enee. may say, without vanity, that I have been fairly successful in my pro- fession, and yet to one canvas that suc- ceeded there have been as many as 40 which have soraped down with my palette knife in disgust. Even if stu dent never succeeds, his very failures may be noble. :"
 1t is not only to art that this exhorta tion might apply. In every career, in every walk in life, the same point of view should be taken. Failures are not failures really-they are lessons; they are stepping stones. They should not be associated for moment with despond- ency or hopelessness Just as q child tumbles and picks himself up as a mat ter of course and runs gayly on, so should we children of larger growth regard the ups and downs of life, never losing courage, however often we tum- ble. Young people especially should bs taught that it is not always success to succeed and that disappointment ts should be taken philosophically The Idea of booby prize in games is good one. There are many prizes i'll life foi those who apparently fail, and even in worldly matters the last shall be first and the first shall be last in nine casss sut of ten --N New York Tribune

Fitz-Hugh Lee has conducted the af- fairs of his difficult and trying office as consul general to Cuba in a way that calls for only approval and admiration. He has proved himself to possess wisdom, good temper and courage, tho three splendid qualities necessary to succeed anywhere. The courage all knew him to have before he went to Cuba The statesmanlike tact and good temper have shone conspicuously when occasion demanded. One result of his appoint ment to the Cuban place and his con- tinuance in office under the Mckinley administration is that the southern peo- pie are intensely interested ill the Cuban cause.

M'CULLOCH MAKES A DASH

A Chronicle special from Cavite OF June
q, says:
The Mccullough had an exciting adven-
ture up under the guns of Manila this
morning on a mission that concerned the
safety Of Flag Lieutenant T. NJ. Brumby
who left Cavite in a small launch to go
to the British cruiser Immortalite, at
anchor with the foreign fleet off the
mouth of the Pasig river. When he was
well up the bay, the lynX-eyed watch on
the Olympia detected larger craft steam
out of Manila, under flag that looked
like the Spanish colors. The Mccullough
was ordered to get under way and five
minutes later the dispatch boat went
rushing up the bay at 15-knot gait. Ev-
cry officer had his side arms buckled on
and the crew stood ready at their guns.
They headed direct for Manila in order
to get inside the fleet and cut off the
retreat of the Supposed Spanish boat.
When she neared the feet, it was discov-
cred that the craft under suspicion car
ried the Austrian flag and the chase end
ed.
The Mccullough held her course, how
ever, and made d careful examination of
tie batteries in front of Manila and 4
close inspection of the foreign fleet. M
hostile demonstration was made.

OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

London. July 20.-Neither the officials
of the Spanish embassy. those of the
British foreign office, nor the United States
ambassador, Colonel John Hay, have any
news tending to confirm the report circu-
lated in the United States that the Span
Ish cabinet has decided to sue for peace.
on the other hand, dispatches received
here from Madrid late this afternoon
make no mention of such a determination
upon the part Of the Spanish ministry.
The decline in Spanish tours in Paris
ad London is another reason for discredit-
ing the report.
A special dispatch from Madrid says:
THE powers, including Great Britain,
are exchanging notes concerning their at
titude in case Commodore Watson comes,
and the progress made thus far is salts
factory to Spain"

at the United States embassy here, but
not from an American source, says the

II is also admitted that several of the
powers are urging Spain to ask for peace.

modore Watson's appearance Will had

Madrid, July 19-Oelayed in transmits
sion)-General Parreja, the Spanish COM
mander at Guantanamo, refuses to be in
Guided in the capitulation of Santiago de
Cuba. According to Spanish military law,
a commander can surrender the troops
which he personally commands but he
cannot oblige other commanders at dis
tant points even though under his au-
thority, to follow suit. Consequently, it
is held that the capitulation comprises
only about 1000 troops actually at San
tiago.
Madrid, July o. .. m.-The govern
ment has received a dispatch from Cen
eral Blanco in which he announces that
he did not authorize the capitulation OF
Santiago de Cuba and asserting that the
place was surrendered without his know
ledge. AS result General Toral will be
vigorously tried by court martial.

MERCY TO SPAIN'S SOLDIERS

san rancisco, July ga Chronicle spe-
cial from Cavite, dated June Is, says:
One hundred and eifihty-fve wounded
Spanish troops were sent into Manila to-
night under the Red Cross flag. They
were part Of the fruits of the campaign
that the rebels have conducted against
Manila for seven weeks past and their
removal was relief to themselves and
their captors.
That many of them lived to get back to
their beloved Manila is due almost en-
tirely to the skill and sacrifice Of the sur
geons from the American cruisers, DR..
c. H. Bromwell, Of the Petrel Dr. D. n.
Carpenter Of the Raleigh; DR.. c. Broder-
lex, of the Concord, and DR.. j. B. Greene,

their time to the Spaniards under orders
Of Admiral Dewey. Other fleet surgeons

HURRY ORDERS TO IMMUNES

forward the immune troops General
Shafter has urgently requested and 1t

a hours.
They are wanted by General Shafter
to serve as military piclets for the city
OF Santiago proper. thus obviating the
necessity Of retaining within the zone OF
infection any of the men who now con-
stitute his army. The situation at Guam
tanamo among the Spanish troops there
surrendered, is calculated in some mea-
sure TO disturb the departments plans
for the shipment OF those soldiers back
to Spain. The department is under obli-
cations not to place aboard the steam
ships that are to be used for the convey
ance of the troops and soldiers having
yellow fever, so it probably will be necss-
sary to place the surrendered camp under
very rigid sanitary rules and TO sift out
carefully all persons showinb the faintest
symptoms OF disease. When the others
