The Lincoln Club alias the "Git To

One lonely newspaper man wandered
incidentally into the building and hi
inclinations finally induced him to entel
the room where he saw so many l,lgu.
brious looking countenanccs.
The reporter was about toquestion the
"grave' assemblage as to when inter

preached and rude y shocked by the
affability OF one OF those attending the
mourning obsequies.

gently over his heated brow, resuscitatcd

returned sadder and wiser man to the
office.
The reports published OF the two
previous meetings Of the'Git- t-Togethrrs," :"
evidently has not pleased Fred Eden
Bach, Esq, and it is said that he was
instrumental in giving the reporter the
frozen hand.
Fred, it is alleged, had on his war

night when the membership committee
reported "progrpss.
Biblical history says there was o

voice was heard in righteous indignation
when he requested the chairman Of the

The chairman did not hear and il is

At the last meeting OF Street and Sewer
Department Of this city Il communication
was received from the Wilmington Light,
Heat and Power Company, requesting
that thev be allowed to tear up certain
streets for the purpose OF laying under.
ground wires for the transmission OF
heat. light and power to consumers.
Decision in the matter was deferred by
the members of the body for the reason
that the company had not given any
definite estimate as to their plans
THIS action on the part OF the gentle
men representing the Street and Sewer
Department was q just one and the pos
sibiities now are that the request OF the
company will be promptly refused when
it is again brought to the attention OF the
body.

had been granted the Wilmington Light,
Heat and Power Company, they offered
to sell the same to the Wilmington (1ly
Electric Light Company ,, :,
The price asked was eXhorbtant and
the kind intentions of the gentlemen
spoiled Ar the old corporatioc politely
refusing to purchase.
Before again rcstlrcrtlng the Charter,

! WASHINGTON, April c.--War with
Snain :, i'll continues to be the absorb
ing topic of conversation in thisci'y.
The Committee on Foreign Aha'rs
have been working on the report OF
the Naval Board Of Inquiry on the
Maine all day, and the conclusion now
arrived at is that war is inevitable and
will lc declared ON Monday or Tues
day at the very latest.
The greatest excitement prevails In
all circles, and, as IL member OF Com
grcss said tonight. the Naval Board Of
Inquiry is now designated as the c"ro-
ncr'S jury. Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs the Grand Jury, and Congress
the prosecuting attorney In the Span
ish question
President Mckinley has been greatly
misled, as he believed the Senate was
conservative. He has since found out
his cgrrgriOus error and will rcctify
the mistake when his message is sent
to ls,th houses on Monday.
WASHINGTON, April president Me-
Ninley will send his answer to Spain to-
uay. 1t will be brie; and oninous, stat
ing, by inference, that the only cou,se
left to the tinted States is war.
The President will inform senior
Gullon, the Minister OF Foreign Affairs.
through Minister Woodford, that the
reply OF the Spanish Government has
been received, and that he will submit
the subject t" Congress f"r consider
alton.
This, Spain knows, means war. The
Spanish Minister at Washington has kept
his government informed as to the over
whclming sentiment in Congress in
favor of armed intervention in Cuba
The President will devote today and
tomorrow to the preparation OF his mes
sage to Congress, which, it is now stated,
NAV not be sent in before Tuesday or
W eunesuiy.
The President will send privatcI Iinstrnc.
tions to Minister WoodfOrd today. Onr
can guess that they will almost solely
crrccrn the American Ministers departure
from Madrid.
The steps leading up to war, already
tacitIy agreed upon, are as follows:
Congress. following the Presidents
message OF the facts in the case, will take
the initiative.
A resolution i,r Hrmcd intervention
will be- passed.
This the President will il'nrse.
Spain will be notified.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
sp Rc..1 ccRnHsronpENcE OF THE MONITOR
Wushin oton. Auq. 18th. 1898.

Washington, dug. 18th. 1898.
No other country ever did, and it is
not likely that any. other country ever
will, in the short space of three
mo nths and a half fight such a re-
markable war as the U. S. has just
fought to successful close. Tt was
one line of successes, without even a
single setback from Dewey's victory
in Manila Bay to the acceptance of
the terms of peace by the French am
bassador, authorized to act for Spain.
Without detracting in the slightest
degree from the honors grateful
country are paying the heroes who
participated in the fighting, it is well
to call attention to the fact that there
is a man in Washington, to whose
iron will and sleepless energy more
credit is due for the glorious results
and ending of the war than to any
William Mckinley, who has shown
himself worthy to be the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the greatest and strongest
nation that the world has ever seen,
by gaining the admiration, love and
confidence of our own people, and the
respect of the entire civilized world.
He has raised the U. S. to a higher po-
sition than it has ever occupied in the
eyes of the world, and yet he is today
as unostentatious as he was when
pride other than that which every
man has who conscientiously per-
forms mis- duty. Every American can
point with pride to President McKin-
ley and say to less favored nations:
This is the sort of man that a free
country produces at need.
The members of the military COM
missions that are to act with Spanish
commissioners at San Juan, Porto
Rico and Havana, IN arranging for the
evacuation Of Porto Rico and Cuba by
the Spanish troops, will be selected
this week, but there is no special
hurry about selecting the five peace
commissioners that are to negotiate
UAO III udol u OoCy VI POoSO OOCWOOh
the U. S. and Spain, as the commits
sion will not meet until Oct. LIST, at
Paris, and the President wishes time
to select the very best men to be had.
All of the revenue cutters that were
transferred from, the Treasury De-
partment to the Navy Department fat
the beginning of the war, have been
ordered back into the Treasury SER
vice, and they will, as fast as possible
resume ktheir peaceful avocation of
watching for violators of the tariff
laws.
President Mckinley took occasion
in a letter declining an invitation from
Gen. Breckenridge to review the
troops at Chickamauga PARK, because
of his inability to get away from the
Capital, to say few words that will
do much to soften the disappoint-
ment of the thousands of volunteers
who had no opportunity to do any
fighting. These words were: 1.-THE
highest tribute that can be paid to the
soldier is to say that he performed his
full duty, The field of duty is deter
mined by his government, and wher-
ever that chances to be is the place
OF honor. All have helped in the
great cause, whether in camp or bat
tie, and when peace comes al will
be alike entitled to the nations graf

OF all the specialists in the world there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases as DR.. X. v. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y. With
the assistance of his staff Of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. DR..
Pierce is pre-eminently a sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she laboTs because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
Tepugnant examinations and "local
treatments" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious local
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and hts for wifehood and mother
hood.
