A cAMEL,s Two DIVERSIONS,
The Mig UnEainfy Animal Hates
Black Clothes and Does Not
Want to De Touched.

Camels very frequently wear, muzzles
made of rope, and this leads to mis-
conception, says a writer in London
Sketch. 1t is merely to prevent them
snatching at the trees along the way
side, and not on account of viciousness,
for they are the kindest and most hu-
name of animals, and, feel convinced,
could not find it in their hearts 10 hurt
a fly. They are, moreover not half so
conceited and overbearing as they
look.
Two great dislikes they have. One
is to people wearing black clothes and
the other to being jostled in hestreets,
or even touched.
once went to call on beautiful
white camel, and, as II was Sunday,
put on black coat. The camel looked
at me, edged away, and finally turned
his back to me.
Not understanding, insisted on pat
ting him, whereupon he repeated the
same antics and gave a deep growl
and the driver explained that camel
detests somber raiment, probably be-
cause he becomes accustomed to the
bournouses of the Arabs.

THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT.

According to the best authorities OF
I international law the recognition Of
new governments by existing nations
is simply question of fact. Whenever
|. new state shall come into existence,
by revolution or otherwise, whether
justly or unjustly, it is the duty of all
} independent powers to recognize such
state just as soon as it has established
its authority over the territory in which
it exists.
1t is another well-established princi-
pie Of international law that as soon as
granting such recognition must refrain
from Intervention between it and the
parent state, for the reason that the
recognition of independence presup-
poses the ability of the new state to
maintain its independence without
assistance from other nations. On the
other hand, under international law, if
attempted at all, it must be on humani-
tartan grounds or for good internatio-
nal political reasons, and it must be
undertaken not to assist rebellion
primarily or to maintain new govern.
ment organized as result of q reyo-
luton.
These are the main reasons why the
President refused to recommend the
recognition of the Cuban Republic. In
the first place the existence of that
republic, as a government exercising
authority in Cuba, is not fact. In
the second place, if the Cuban Republic
were a government worthy Of recogni-
tiop and able to maintain its indie
pendence, there would be no occasion |
for Intervention on the part of the
United States. In the third place, if
we are to intervene in Cuba we must
act on humanitarian grounds and not
as an ally of the Cuban rebels, if we
want to win for our cause the approval
Of all other nations.
The President was and is right, and /
his course will be vindicated by his
tory Cleveland Leader

SECOND DAYS SESSION.
Close OF Annual Meeting. Of Washington
County Sunday school Association.

The annual convention of the Wash
ington County Sunday School Associa-
tion closed Wednesday evening, after
most profitable and enthusiastic session
covering two days. The meetings
were held in the First M. E. and Pres
byterian churches and were attended
by oyer 100 delegates. nearly every
Sunday school in the county being rep
resented. E
On Wednesday the published pro-
gram was followed, with few slight
changes. Mr.. A. d. Cross, of Toledo,
delivered an address on What to
Teach and How to Teach IT. which
created a deep impression on his hear
ers and will undoubtedly prove pro-
ductive of much good in the work
throughout the county.
The report of the Field Secretary,
Miss McLaren, covering the work of
the past year, was revelation in the
way of showing what may be accomp-
lished by conscientious and energetic
work: BY unanimous vote it was de-
cided that Miss McLaren continue her
work during the coming year, the evil
dence Of her efficiency being highly
commended on all sides.
Other features of the convention
were: "The County Sunday School,"
by Rev. j. L. Landsittle; Conference
led by G. E. VanDervoort; The Home
Department, by Secretary Eva zumbro;
the use of the Bible in the Sunday
School, by Rev. A. X. Mccall, and
Primary Conference led by Mrs. S. R.
McClurken.
In the evening addresses were de-
livered by Rev. w. V. Dick and Rev.
w. A. Powell, of Athens.
The Library question came up for
discussion and it was decided to estab-
lish library for the benefit of all the
schools in the county. Each install
ment of books will remain with each
school two months, when others will
be sent to take their places The cost
of main taing the library will be about
s400 per year. half of which will be
raised by assessment of four cents on
each member and the remainder by Sc
curing subscriptions to paper.

MEDICAL ADVICE

One of the richest and rarest Jokes
of the season is contained in the set OF
medical instructions formulated by the
Surgeon Of the Seventy-frst New York
regiment for the health OF men of the
command in the event of their Icing
called into active service. This con-
scientious disciple of Esculapius grave
ly informs the militiamen under his
care that: They must not drink water
unless it has been boiled; must not
bs the in water unless it has been boil
ed; must not use alcohol internally;
must avoid being out in the night air:
must, at the end of march, battle the
feet in boiled water and powder with
talcum powder; must never wear damp
stockings; must not eat fruit in sum-
mer; must take five grains of quinine
every morning; must wear a flannel
band over the abdomen; must change
all clothing every day; must avoid ex-
cesses of all kinds; must avoid expos
ure to the sun, be vaccinated and carry
lemon. This is rich. We can imag-
inc the Seventy-frst going to war
equipped with train of hot water
boilers, some wagons loaded with lem
ons, and Others freighted with talcum
powder and dry socks, flannel bandages
etc., while the idea of a regiment,
members of which would not take al
cohol internally, but which confined
itself at all times TO boiled water,
would strike terror into Blanco's Span
iards as nothing else would. Call out
the Seventy-frst and end the existing
Observation-Disclosures Register.

WHEN the President signed the Cuba

WHEN the President signed the Cuban
resolutions on Wednesday they became

LOCKED IN DEATH.
Courageous Duck Deer Whose Fierce
Conflicts OFTEN Result
Fatality

Although it is generally known how
the buck beer fight and how sometimes
in consequence their antlers become in
sons who have seen them when so inter-
locked. says the New York Times.
At certain seasons of the year when
the does are breeding their young the
bucks are both very fierce and coura-
geous in theirprote of them and the
approach of another buck is signal for
battle. In these conflicts it frequently
happens that one or the other is killed
| and there are occasional instances in
the course of these struggles of the
autlers becoming interlocked between
each other, which results in the death
of both animals. One instance is on
record where three pairs of horns were
found thus entangled together, the
skulls and skeletons lying as proof of
the deadly outcome of the battle.
IT is in October and November that
the buck becomes SO combative and in
few weeks thereafter he loses his
sleek condition. sheds his horns and re-
treats to the denser forest.

THE OLD SORE HEALED.

From the Toronto Globe.
The splendid reception given to Cen
eral Lee by the people of Washington
was a picturesque development of the
situa uion. The veteran of the civil war
has done his work in Cuba well, and the
Americans have for once been well
served by public official, The nephew
of General r. Il. Lee, himself a distn-
Guished officer i'm the ranks of the Lost
Cause" FitzhuRh Lees ovation in Wash
ingtOn was most significant of the heal
ing of the breach between North and
South. In the Washington from which
thirty-five years ago issued the armies
gainst which he fought, the old Conted-
crate fighter was given bouquet
wrapped in a Confederate flag. Graceful
in itself, the token was a symbol of the
unity which time has wrought between
North and South.

CONDUCIVE TO HARMONY.
From the Olyphant Record,

From the Olyphant Record,
Hon. William Connell has publicly de-
clared himself as a candidate for the
nomination OF governor before the state
convention of Republicans. Mr. COnnell
is the strongest man that can he present
ed from northeastern PENNSYLVANIA, and
we believe him to be emincntly qualified
to be governor of our state. He is truly
representative man, and his fervent pa
triOtism and executive ability highly
commend him TO the attention of the
party in the state. He is also free from
partisan rancor which has of late made
such havoc in the ranks of the party,
and his nomination would undoubtedly
restore harmony and secure victory in
the next election Our congressman
should get the undivided support of the
district he represents, and a united front
from his own county would be a power
not to be despi3ed by the convention and
| the best commendation Of the merits of
the gentleman these delegates choose to

CD HE greatest achievement In the line
OF statecraft in centuries would be
union of both branches OF the
Anglo-SoXon race: n union of IN
terest and policy OF these countries
for the benefit of all mankind. God hast
en- a Consummation so devautly to be
wished. 1t is becoming more apparent
every moment in view of all that is
happening in Europe, that the United
States and England are the only efficient
representatives Of liberty ana law against
militarism and despouic government Thus
it Is imperative that they come together
and form A compact for the continued
preservation of human rights and the
advancement of all Christian, humane
principles.
1t il said Lord Salisbury a few weeks
ago spoke hopefully Of such a union
and it is significant that the idea found
instant favor among tho representative
people of both countries. The British
Empire and the American Republic are
closely related to each other in blood,
language and ideas. Both are highly
gifted in the qualities needed to carry
out the higher ideas of civilization.
Both understand the real meaning of
liberty and equality, a government of,
the heavenly ichor in the blood needed
TO stimulate them 10 further advance
ment in the line of culture and progress.
These nations arc the only ones that
hate injustice of all kinds and will not
| tolerate for one moment any form OF
political injustice. Recent events, how
ever, show that this form of oppres-
sion is Condoned in Latin countries on
| the slightest pretext and that the peo-
| pie themselves submit 10 it like craven
| towards and spit upon those who en-
| deavor TO heal their wounds and Hum
| Inc their intelligence.
| o
The time is now at hand when the
| English ard the Americans should feel
that each has in the other friend and
| brother in time of need. II is not neces-
sary that each should fight the battles
| OF the other on all occasions, for this
would hardly be practical But let IL
| be understood that in the event of an
| attack on either country that would
mean an attack on "the liberty of the
people" that would mean an attempt
! TO degrade freemen and TO put them
| back where they once We're as mere
creatures Of despots. then let both act
| together.
For instance an attempt 10 isolate
| and humilate England by the other
| continental powers should enlist our
services in its behalf. For IL success
| ful 1t would mean a blow at the will of
the freemen and a distinct gain for milf
| tarism and despotism. If Russia and
| Germany and France together attacked
| England It would destroy the rights OF
the individual and place the SOLDIER
