The nains Disaster.

A thrill Of sadness filled our hearts

The awful neSsage reached our ears
That Spain had wrecked the Maine.
We knew our noble battlcship,
TIE pride OF patriots true.
Was anchored of tiavaua's coast
With Sigsbee and MS crew.
Her mission was a friendly call,
The Sp uish thought il not
And by plan more black than hell,
They wrecked her on the spot
She sank beneath the waves.
But No, the ship alone
More than two hundred OF her crew.
Down with her they have gone.
Tears me in eyes when they left home
To enlist upon the Maine.
But now they fiji waiery grave
Caused by n plot of Spain.
Twas done 10y Spanish treachery
To blow her in the air,
For Butcher weyler had the mines.
Placed in the harbor there.
When To their berth> they had retired
Those blue coats OF the Maine,
All. little did IN " think
They'd meier see home again.
They died upon battlcship
Whose Ensign Monsrchs fear,
And Spain shall tremble mt the news
That soon shall reach her ears.

Who on the Maine did die,
Wen plant our flag above their heads
Where they SO peacefully lie.
Tod pity those with homes made sad
By those who sailed away
TO join the crew for Cubas Isle
And there for eyer stay.
Sleep on, brave boys, sleep on.
Your lives were not in vain,
You went when duty called you forth
As patriots on the Maine.
A nations love for you shall live
For Cuba shall be free.
And by the flag that we love dear
Wen have revenge for thee.

ness WAS discussed and IL was decided
To strictly enforce the law in regard Ia
selling or furnishing cigarettes TO mi
nors hereafter, so far as the corp "a
ton is concerned anyhow. IL was re-
ported that at least three nercnants
OF kingwood were handling them and
i'm some way the small boys seem To
get them whenever they want To, AS
they are frequently seen smoking the
socalled 'coflia nails" The merchants
deny selling To- the boys and claim that
they secure them through the medium
of other parties, who are subject TO n
tine of not less than SIS for every act
OF this kind and have probably been
violating the law through ignorance,
thinking that IL was repealed. The
Legislature placed n prohi oitory license
on the sale of cigarettes at all aud the
law was tested aud declared uncousti-
tutional and afterwards repealed by
the Legislature. but the following law
