Pastor Thomas j. Cross threatens to
go to war.
A Spanish flag used for decorating pur-
poses, near the Boardwalk, was torn
down, on Saturday, and burned amid
the cheers of the spectators.
The Morris Guards, at q meeting, Mon
day evening, volunteered their service to
the Governor if needed, and will recruit
the company to one hundred men. Capt.
Perry's Company F. of the Sixth Regi-
ment is ready to move to the State
Camp grounds at any hour if needed.
At the meeting of Council, Monday
evening, it was voted to adopt the
report recommending the purchase of
site for new Crematory-the same to
be located near Clam Creek. The tract
covers three acres and the price named
is $4,000.
On motion of Mr.. Rose the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereae-The President of the United
States has called on the volunteers to
carry on the War with Spain, and
Whereas-Certain city employees are
members of the various military organ
izations of this city;
IneroIOfe, De IL resolved lndC ii any
of the said employees are compelled to
go to war that their several positions
shall be filled temporarily and their
salaries continued during their absence;
and that they shall be reinstated on
their return if within one year.
The Press of Monday says:
"Silly yarns regarding the intentions
of Atlantic City hotel men are gaining
currency. The last one is that several OF
the leading hotels contemplate closing
because of the war. There is positively
no basis for the rumors.
Proprietor Waters, of the Windsor,
seems to have been singled out as the
victim of the canard. Mr.. Waters denies
emphatically that he has ever thought
of closing his hotel. The Windsor has
more guests now than ever before at
this season of the year. The engage
ments of rooms for occupancy next
month and during the summer promises
to be the most prosperous in the
Windsor's history. The other hotel men
say the same thing.
Business is brisk at all the hotels. The
railroads report increases in passengers
and the Esplanadeis daily crowded with
visitors. There is no basis for the idle
and ridiculous rumors in circulation"

Cooperative Living Association was
organized for the economic and social
benefit of its membership. In order to
insure a reliable, orthodox reputation,
the association has enrolled among its
members bankers, merchants, drug
gists and a representative preceptor
and dominic. The practical advantages
of the club may be noted as follows:
First, the saving of from fifteen to
twenty-five hours of kitchen worry
per week. Second, the providing OF
w~ell-cooked and well-served meals
ranging in cost from TX cents to 8
cents per meal. 1t may be we'll to note
that low rents (sS per month for an
eight-room house, and the compare
lively low wages paid to the cook 1925
per month, with use Of house and with
board for herself and family Of three
children) may not be duplicated in
larger towns. A purchasing commit
tee of three members buys the provis-
ions, groceries at wholesale rates.
meats by the quarter and side, and all
provisions in correspondingly large
quantities. Another member acts as
treasurer, and all bills are paid prompt
ly on Monday morning for the week
ending the Saturday previous.

An Unexpected Reply.

The duke of Wellington, writes Sir
William Fraser, detested being helped;
not from ingratitude, but from two dis
tinct feelings-one, that he did not
like to be thought, what he certainly
was not, decrepit: the other that he
knew very well that the majority OF
persons who helped him did so in or
der to be able to say that they had lone
so. This to him was revolving. Stand
ing opposite the Apsley house, in the
evening, in Piccadilly, when the street
was evea more crowding than It is
now, the duke was hesitating on the
curbstone. A gentleman, nearly as
old as himself, made some demonstra-
ton OF assisting him to cross the road,
endeavoring TO check the tide of cabs
and other vehicles that was setting
strongly. When the duke reached the
gate of Apsley house he touched his
hat and said, II thank you, sir" The
elderly stranger Immediately uncover
ed. Holding his hat at his knee, he
addressed the duks as follows: my
lord, I have passed a long and not un-
eventful life. but never did / hope to
reach the day when l might be of the
slightest assistance to the greatest man
that ever lived" The duke looked at
him calmly. and, In a voice not the
least choked by emotion, replied:
Don't be a fool!" and walked into
Apsley house.

Nine OF the most staid and respect
able families in Burton, Kan, have
thrown away their stovelids and pack

ISOLATION, wherein the food question is
settled upon a cooperative basis.
Burton is a small village without any
immediate prospect of growing larger.
The size Of the town does not warrant
the location of a bakery, and all the
wheatstuff must be bought from the
neighboring cities. AS a consequence
of the limited population there is a
very small supply of hired help, wen
smaller than the limited demand. The
heavy burdens of the household fall
upon the housewife alone, and very
little social intercourse can be enjoy

Benefits OF the war.

Benefits OF the War.
at is not likely that wars will cease
to break out from time to time. The
interval CT peace which this country
has enjoyed since the close Of the civil
wal is the longest which has happened
since the declaration of independence,
and our situation now shows the neces-
sity of being prepared for war at any
moment. l regard the present war as
fraught with many blessings. 1t uni
fees the country by giving the South
the opportunity to prove her loyalty TO
the flag-an opportunity which she
eagerly embraces. 1t will create a SEN
timent in favor of a strong navy, which
is indispensable in these days to the
security of a great maritime and com
mercial power like the United States;
for it is sea power which commands
the wholesome respect OF nations to-
day. 1t will prove that the island OF
Cuba, directly or indirectly, is as es-
sential to the peace and safety of the
United States as the control OF a large
island at the mouth OF the names
would be to England, or n at the
mouth of the Seine would be to France.
Look back over the diplomatic history
of this country for seventy-fve years
and you will find that n Of its most
interesting chapters relates to Cuba.
You will find that during all of that
period Cuba has been a constant source
of anxiety to us lest it might, through
European intrigues or upheavals, pass
into other hands than those Of Spain.
More than once the United States has
been brought face 10 face in hostile at
titude, first with n power and then
with another, because they coveted It's
ownership. In the hands OF a strong
power II would be an uncomfortable men

later was inevitable. In no other way
