There was shocking tragedy in

the 11th. About supper time one of
the young sons of John Allen was
examining pistol near the bureau in
one of the bedrooms. and in swapping
it shot and killed his brother Oscar.

time. Oscar was seven years old. The
pistol was thought to be unloaded.
The accident is sad one, and all par

A dastardly deed was committed

The best work any Legislature can
do is to repeal, if possible, all the laws
passed by the preceding one. This is
because in most legislative bodies
there are three demagogues to every
man Of independent thought. Many
men get to the Legislature by making
lot of fool promises which they know
they cannot fulfill, and as their first
care after getting there is to get back,
they have sometimes to lie, but most
often to hedge and indulge in such
legislative gymnastics as would make
a pig laugh. Now, if you don be

session, and when they tackle the dis

If you have never seen a cat with Its

ment on the family cat at once and

will step. The reason is that the dear
people have never directly voted on
our great moral agency, and the un-
certainty makes cold chills run down
the legislative backs. We should not
be surprised to see some straddle on
the line of continuing the humbug
until a direct vote from the citizens
can be had, aud thus in the future

SONG AND SERMON.

At the Baptist church last evening MT. Cairns preached a most powerful sermon on the excuses given for not confessing Christ, singing for a pre- Jude 'The Gospel Supper" He devoted the most of the discourse to showing the emptiness of the excuses offered by those who refuse to unite with the church because of the so-called hy- pocrisy of it's members. I prefer to live awhile with hypocrites in the church here to spending eternity with them. Of course there are hypocrltes in the church. Everything worth counterfeiting is counterfeited. Did you ever see counterfeit infidel? Jesus hated hypocrites. If I were you I would join the church to get rid of them. The church has not monopoly of hypocrisy. You could not be a merchant CT lowyer or grocer without associating with hypocrites. Watch the man who is the first to cry hypo- crite and you will find him the biggest hypocrite of all. On Thursday evening MT. Cairns will speak on the second coming of Christ. On Friday evening his theme will be 'The Unpardonable Sin"

to the Maine disaster. It is pointed out that none of these suggestions af- feet the fact that it lies with Spain to determine whether she is going to make war necessary, and that the pol icy of this government is straightfor- ward and does not necessarily involve war. It is a known fact that the Gu bans would not refuse to assume part of the Spanish debt upon the isalnd, and that they would be glad to avail themselves of a guarantee of their bonds either by this government or by private capitalists. It is held, however, that if this government is not going to give up the guarantee it. self, it cannot base negotiations on the private transactions of individuals, but that the recognition of indepen- dence of Cuba by this government must come independently of any flnan- cial deal the Cuban or private parties may enter into with Spain. The whole thing is regarded as of a piece with the many other suggestions of settlement which have been made, and have been declared a sure thing by their auth OrS.
 On a par with this is the story that the democrats in congress are seek ing to force an adjournment of con-
 gress before anything is done in the Cuban matter. The fact, as disclosed i in conversations with many men in 1 both houses of congress, that there is
 no division on the question of the
 present crisis, but the democrats al
 most to man are opposed to an ad-
 journment until the policy of the
 president is definitely announced
 Many and probably most of the re-
 publicans occupy the same position
 A few men, not distinguished on party lines, are anxious that congress should adjourn, leaving the Cuban question
 unsettled. These are ultra peace men men who are for peace at any price i The position generally assumed is that | the president having the support of congress, is going to follow out a policy
 which will be satisfactory to congress If this assumption is correct, there is
 believed to be reason why congress
 should be in session until it is shown that there will be nothing for it to do; i if the assumption is incorrect, then there will be strong disposition i on the part of congress to take some action respecting Cuba. Senator Jones
 of Arkansas, the democratic leader of i the senate, said today that he had 1 heard of no such thing as democrats
 trying to force an adjournment, and
 that the suggestion was absurd.

THE SITUATION.
Preparations for War Go on-The
 Syndicate Plan for Buying Cuba.

Washington, March 22.-According to the statements of men in both houses of congress who aim to keep themselves posted from day to day as to the developments of the situation there has been no change in condi- lions. The Cuban question has been developing steadily along the lines which have been apparent for more than a week. The preparations for war are going on with all possible energy, and nothing has occurred to render the aspect of affairs less seri- OuS, except that the better prepared this country is for war the greater be- comes the hope that Spain will act with some degree of wisdom. The fact that this government has purchased the two Brazilian cruisers gives more promise of peace than would their pur- chase by Spain. The fact that we are able to make such effective prepara- lions for war in a short time, while Spain's best efforts make but slow progress, is also an argument for Spain to be more reasonable than to force war upon us. According to the most reliable information, it is in this way only that the situation has become more satisfactory. There is no change in the situation that can be foreseen until the board of inquiry has been received. After that developments are expected to be rapid. Meanwhile re- mors Of all sorts are started by men with theories and men who have some selfish aim to advance.
 Most of the reports relate to impos- slble conditions and things which could not have any influence upon the main issue. The report that a syndi- cate is ready to put up the money for Cuba to buy her independence is not credited by the best informed men in congress, and, if it were true, it is said 1t would not materially change the as pect of affairs. There is no indication that Spain will change from the posi- non of not being willing to part with Cuba under any conditions, least of all for money. Nor would the willing ness of certain wealthy men to make investments in Cuba have any relation

Now, 1T will appear to the casual
reader at the first glance at these fig
ures that they are very extraordinary.
They make 1t seem as if the total num-
Der Of males in the country was enor-
mously greater than the total number
OF females. But it must be remem-
bered that the mass of the population
IN each state Is paired off by MARRIAGE
evenly as between the sexes, leaving
only comparatively small fraction of
single persons of manageable age. 1t
IS only this fraction that is considered
IN the present statement, and in most
states the male part of the fraction is
much in excess Of the female part, and
hence the great percentage Of bachelor
surplus quoted. In the whole of the
country there are 5,427,7 67 bachelors
against 1924, 494 spinsters-an excess of
6S per cent Of bachelors over the I'M
married women.
Women live longer than men. Also,
as q rule, they marry men older than
themselves. Consequently, there are
nearly three times as many widows in
the country as W1dOWerS, the figures
being 2,151,615 against S15, 437. Divorced
men marry again, much oftener than
divorced women, as Is shown by the
fact that there are 49, 101 divorced men
IN the United States against II 1895 di-
Vorced women, those who have married
again not being reckoned in this cate
cory. A statistician who has gone
somewhat extensively into this subject
hnds that one in every nine widows
between the ages Of twenty and thirty
i've remarrieS. Widows from twenty
to twentyfOur remarry much more
often than spinsters OF any age mar
~. In fact widows are the champion
marrying women. For every 1000 bach
elors which would fairly fall to their
lot, as compared with spinsters, 1.O25
are married by widows. The chances
OF Widower's remarrying are always
greater than those Of a bachelors mar
fylng. The men who marry most are
Widowers from twenty-five to thirty
four years of age. Widowers, indeed,
are the best marrying men, and it will
pay the women to keep an eye on
them. The misfortune of the maidens
who fail to secure husbands is due in
no small degree to the seductions of
females In that condition which was
made the subject Of a warming by the
elder Weller to Sam. Rene Bache.
