CHURCH NOTES.

The series of services which have
been conducted in the Lutheran
Church in Shepherdstown during the
past ten days by Rev. L. L. Selber,
Of Gettysburg, Pa, closed last night.
Rev. Mr.. Seiber made an excellent
impression upon the large congrega-
tons that listened to him at each SER
vice, His sermons were logical, elo-
quent and inspiring, and the earnest
ness of the speaker made his addresses
doubly impressive. He carries with
him from this place the best wishes OF
those who were edited and instructed
by his ministrations, and we feel sure
that the good seed he has sown will
Weld a rich harvest. Mr.. Seiber left
for Gettysburg this morning.
Easter services were held in the
various churches Of Shepherdstown
last Sunday, and at the Reformed,
Lutheran and Episcopal churches the
communion was administered. The
sermons were appropriate to the res

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices, very
large abroad of late If this state of
things holds. there will be an increasing
influx of British gold into this market.
This demonstrates the faith abroad in
the stability of our credit. There is an
other point of faith for which the pco-
pie not only of this but foreign countries
have good grounds for credence, and that
is belief in the efficacy Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs for inorganic maladies
which affect the stomach, liver, bowels,
kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia, bilious
ness, constipation and rheumatism are
conquered by it, 1t haStens GONZALES

CRITICAL.

Dispatches this morning show
critical state of affairs. War seems
inevitable. The House of Represen-
tatives by an almost unanimous vote
has passed resolutions that surely
mean war unless Spain backs down
entirely, and the Senate apparently
stands ready to take similar action at
once. These resolutions direct the
President to use the Army and Navy
to carry out an aggressive policy, and
the only way to avert war is for
Spain to surrender Internationally.
This she will not likely DO.

ON THE EVE OF WAR.
BY DANsKE cambridge.

Strong God of battles who art still
The God of Love, the God of Rest.
Subdue Thy peoples fiery will
And qucll the passions in their breast
Before we battle our hands in blood
We lift them to Thy Holy Rood,
The waiting nations hold their breath
To catch the distant battle cry,
And in the silence as of death
The fateful hours go softly by.
Q hear Thy people where they pray
And Shrive our souls before the fray.
Before the sun of peace shall set
We kneel apart solemn while:
Pity the eyes with sorrow wet,
But pity most the lips that smile.
The night comes fast; we hear afar
The baying of the wolves of war.
Not lightly. o not lightly. Lord,
Let this our awful task begin:
Speak from thy throne warning word,
Above the angry factions din.
If this be Thy Most Holy will.
BE with us Stlll; be with Us still.
Good Friday.

Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee, in
obedience to the orders OF our govern
ment, closed the American consulate
at Havana last Saturday and took
passage for the United States. He ar
rived at Washington Tuesday after
noon. At every point along his jour
ney where his train stopped he was
greeted by enthusiastic multitudes,
who cheered him for the bravery and
wisdom with which he had performed
his trying duties as consul at Havana.
The Spanish, however, hooted him
when he left that city, though no harm
was offered him. General Lee had an
interview with President Mckinley as
soon as he reached Washington, and
later went before the committees on
foreign affairs in Congress and told
what he knew of the Maine disaster
and other matters of interest in Cuba.

Prepared to execute every obhga-

The Presidents message was at once
referred to the committees on foreign
affairs of both the Senate and the
House. Yesterday the House commit
tee reported the following resolution,
which was adopted by a vote of 800
to 10:
Resolved, That the President is
hereby authorized and directed to IN
tervene at once to stop the war in
Cuba, to the intent aud purpose Of Sc
curing permanent peace and order
there, and establishing by the free
action of the people thereof stable
and independent government OF their
own in the Island Of Cuba ; and the
President is hereby authorized and
empowered to use the land and naval
forces Of the United States to execute
the purpose Of the resolution.
In the Senate the committee on for
eign relations submitted the following
resolutions, and the indications are
that they will be adopted in the near
future
Resolved, That the people of the
Island Of Cuba are, and Of right ought
to be, free and independent.
Second, That it is the duty Of the
United States to demand, and the
Government of the United States does
hereby demand, that the Government
of Spain at once relinquish its authori-
ty and government in the Island of
Cuba and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third, That the President of the
United States be, and he hereby is,
directed and empowered 10 use the
entire land and naval forces Of the
United States, and to call into actual
service of the United States the mill
tia of the several States, to such eX-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
If both Houses shall adopt similar
resolutions it will be a declaration Of
war by Congress- The President will
at once, as directed, land troops in
Cuba. Then, unless Spain shall sub
missively yield, and entirely abandon
all her interests in the island and
withdraw her troops, fighting will be-
gin without delay.
