A Noble Cause.

Perhaps it is not generally
known that Kings Daughters
| Circle No. 2, are now at work en-
larging their little home on Cen
trail Avenue, making such i'm
provements as will convert it into
a frst-class hospital with modern
appliances on modest scale.
Two months ago a trained nurse
was engaged, but owing to the in
sufficiency of the building for hos
pital work, she declined to take
charge, unless the necessary com
forts and convenienoes could be
added in reasonable length of
time, to insure success to the en-
terprise. However, she has rem
dered valuable service by nursing
in families in the city, having been
engaged every day since her ar
rival.
Through the united efforts of
the members of the circle and the
generosity of the public, the work
is already in progress, but several
hundred dollars will be necessary
to push it to speedy completion.
When completed, the hospital
will be in charge of frst-class
trained nurse. 1t will be under
the management and constant
supervision of the Kings Daugh-
ters, and above all it will be a
credit to the humanity of Green
vile.
Mrs. EDMUND TAYLOR,
Leader of Kings Daughters
Circle No. 2.

The Passover

The service at the Temple OF
the Hebrew Union on Wednesday
morning endeed the solemn festi-
val of the PassOver-the most ven
cradle religious observance in the
world, having beer celebrated by
the Jewish people ever since the
eliminating plague Of the death
of the first born broke the pride
of Pharaoh and freed Israel from
Egyptian bondage. The festival
was kept by the Hebrew congre-
cation of the Temple in a series
of solemn religious exercises, be-
ginning on Wednesday evening,
April 9th, and continuing on
Thursday morning at 10, and dur
ing the present week, on Tuesday
evening and Wednesday morning.
The services were marked by
learned and appropriate lectures
by the Rabbi, DR.. Joseph Bogen,
in which the vicissitudes of the
Jewish people through long ages
were feelingly recounted, together
with the marvellous changes which
the world has seen.

One Of the volunteer companies recently

lag, which was made and presented by q
number OF patriotic women In the Pennsyl.

II was presented just before the company
marched away-or steamed away, to DO 40

zion Of much ceremony. The company was
lrawn up in o long line-"company front"

very charming young lady read q very
charming and somewhat lengthy address,
which contained great deal Of aowery Ian:
yuage. The captain was ut" then, and had
70 reply. He is not an eloquent man at any
time, and he is extremely shy; but he had
written out q graceful speech OF accept
ance, and he stepped forward confidently
and received the banner.
Ladies'" he began, in Fourth Of July
voice, Ladies, we will accept this Gag. La.
dies, we've will accept this flag" Here
his color forsook him. He had forgotten the
best Of his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket Of his blouse. The manu-.
script was. gone.
Ladies'" he began again, desperately,
with a gulping kind Of gasp, ladies, we
will accept this flag, and, and, and thanks
awfully for it, don't you know"
And after all, l dare say the impromptu
was quite as effective as the address he
had prepared, but the captain doesn't like
10 talk about it.-Washington Post.

lessly Cypress them, all the while de-
luding them with the belief that they
were governing themselves.
1t was because President Mckinley
foresaw the danger Of this probable
condition that he sxerted his powerful
influence and succeeded In preventing
the congress from recognizing the indie
pendence OF the Cuban republic. Since
our army and navy have subdued the
Spanish forces in eastern Cuba, II there
had been any actual government in ex-
istence, some manifestations Of such
government would have been made.
But there Is no capital, no presidential
headquarters, no congress. no depart
ment of state; In fact, nothing TO indi-
cate that the Cuban republic ever had
any existence.
Gen. Gomez, Gen. Garcia and the 9TH
ers who have armed followers are likely
to cause great deal of trouble for our
country in the efforts which will soon
he made to give stable government to
the Cuban people. They have fought
for spoils, for their own enrichment.
They will be satisfied with nothing else.
They have already 30 indicated. Gen.
Garcia. with his rag-tag and bob-tail
army left Santiago in high Indignation
because Gen. Shafter would not permit
the pillage of Santiago.
II Is the opinion Of our best and
strongest statesmen that good govern
ment can be given to Hawaii md
Puerto Rico with but little show OF
armed force. Those peoples do not re-
quire the argument Of force. They are
tractable, and desire to do right. At
the outset there must be force used at
Manila; probably for at least full gen.
Grafton. But ripe craftsmanship will
be required TO deal with the solution
Of the problem OF what will be the best
government for each of these posses
sions.
The great and grave and vexed prob
lem. however, confronts us in Cuba.
Senior Bartolome Masso, the head of the
so-called Cuban republic, has written
a formal letter to President Mckinley,
claiming the right Of immediate self
government for the Cubans. His letter
Is interesting, well written, argumenta-
tive, plausible mud well calculated to
create public impression In favor Of
his proposition. He eulogizes the Gu
han people for their courage. intelli-
gcnce, humane aspirations and lofty
patriotism"
But beside TINT letter our statesmen
will place the reports Of Gen. Sbafter
and his general officers, showing that
the intelligence of the Cuban insur-
gents amounts TO but little more than
the intelligence of the Sioux Indians;
their humane aspirations" constitute
desire to machcte Spanish prisoners,
and their lofty patriotism was dis
played in running away from Pando's
army and In refusing to carry litters
for our wounded soldiers.
The Cuban republic will wait awhile.
The form OF government will be die
tated by this country. AS a result Of
this war the United States Is response
bic before the nations Of the world for
the protection Of the Cubans from their
own inherent enemies us well as from
foreign aggressors; and the good faith
OF the United States stands pledged to
give TO Cuba a stable government. This
problem cannot be solved at once. The
situation Is grave, and its gravity In
fully realized In the capital Of this re-
public. SMITH D. FRY.

seem to be equally intelligent and well
informed.
For example, the differences which
have existed between Great Britain
and this country have been adjusted
by statesmen, solely by the applica-

could bring that people to realiza-
tion OF the difference between human
