4 MODERATE WANT.

The United States wants something. It wants men. They must be men not less than 22 nor more than 50 years of age, who are not less than 5 feet 9 inches in height, and who weigh not less than 150 pounds, who are possess ed of sound physical health, good mor- al character and undoubted honesty, great personal courage and a kindly but firm disposition, sound judgment and discretion, an inclination to faith fully carry out the orders of superior, g. personality and characteristics which would command respect and obedience and a temperament calculated to gain confidence and friendship.
 And what, the gentle reader will ask are such finely equipped men wanted for? Well, they are wanted for guards in the United States pen!tentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, and they will get $60 per month.

ested in little story that a man sent me on a photographic cylinder the other day from San Francisco. In the year 1873 a man from Massachusetts came to California with chronic liver complaint. He searched all over the coast for mineral spring to cure the disease, and finally found down in San Joaquin valley a spring the wa ters of which almost instantly cured him. He thereupon started a sanita- rum and people all over the world came and were quickly cured. Last year this man died and so powerful had been the action of the waters that they had to take his liver out and kill it with club.

 Harbor of Manila, June 5.-Commu- nication with the shore is easy, thanks to the permission of Admiral Dewey, who has shown most remarkable pow CTS of administration under anomalous circumstances. It must be understood that Spanish rule still prevails, and that there are about twenty-five thou sand troops in the capital. It is said that the government has enrolled about one hundred thousand volunteers, but this, I take it, is brag. It would mean that it had reinforced the insurgents with that number of men.
 Here, then, is Dewey, with his small squadron. not only overawing the heavy odds of Spanish troops. but in possession of the harbor and preventing the arrival of supplies. Hunger, or rather famine, will render any man desperate, but, although there is some

The bodice was of the same, had drap- ed fronts of nile green chiffon, the back being laid in small folds The yoke was separate and was of white lace whose pattern was outlined with gold. Collar and epaulettes were attached to it. The gown might be copied in lawn, organdy or woollen stuffs with lace or embroidery for the yoke.
 The scarlet golf jacket is appreciated for color and is admitted as correct for country wear, golf or no golf. It is donned with any sort of summer costume, but is adapted especially to afternoon rigs that are semi tailor Over a white duck suit the scarlet coat Is very effective. It is right to refer to them as pink, though they are noth- ing but an uncompromising and unmis- takable scarlet. It is fancy, too. to wear fringed silk sash wound about the waist. We are all tired with the struggle to keep our belts in place, and it is the notion of the moment to make the sash scarlet no matter much what the color of the rest of the gown is. The war feeling Is responsible for the craze for red this summer so wiseacres say. FLORETTE.

R4fTE T4GONS.

"Rail wagons" are the latest. They have made their appearance in Toledo, the Council of which city has granted company the right to run it's ''rail- wagons" on the street-car tracks. In this may be found a realization of the expectation that, as the trolley had brought the city nearer to the country, it would also bring the farmer nearer to his market. To the farmer who, like the market gardener, must bring his product to the market every day, this is highly important. The wagons to be run on the trolley lines centering in Toledo are constructed with dou- ble set of wheels, and can be drawn on ordinary roads or on street-car tracks, the shifting from one set of wheels to the other and the mounting on the rails or the dismounting there- from being quick and easy. The far mers can load these wagons and drive them to the trolley line, where motor car will pick them up, one after an- other, and haul them to the city. As this is to be done almost wholly during the nighttime it will interfere little with city traffic.

THE PEACE T4TK.

The peace talk progresses and it seems to mean business this time. Probably, however, there will be delay before the business is done. There is stance, 1t is said that our State depart ment is again about to give the diplo- straightforward dealing, abandoning the devious paths of old-time diplo- macy and striking straightforward and without double dealing and hair-split- ting toward the object in view. In chance for the successful exercise of what is termed Spanish diplomacy. There will not be any disposition shown to take undue advantage of the posi- ton of defeated and helpless nation, treatment that the United States is now in temper to accord, the Span lSli LSSUlletliOiS lluot pC lOliCoiiyJ LIAl ly, openly. and directly conducted. It cannot be tolerated for an instant, it is announced, that through the indul- gence of the United States, by granting an armistice or otherwise, in the early stages of the peace negotiations, the Spanish government shall covertly se- cure a breathing spell to recuperate and rally for further resistance to the American arms.
 This is @ vigorous and a cheering layout, and 1t is to be hoped that 1t cor rectly represents the situation. But it will be surprising if the Spaniards don't manage to lug into the deal their honor and their diplomacy.

ums libraries, the observatory and a special chair in the University of Ma drid must be paid. Add to this the squeezing and peculation of every Spanish official from the governor gen eral down to the lowest alguacil, and it is no wonder that these people, robbed right and left of the fruits of their toll, hate the Spaniard and will have no more of Spanish rule.
 l acknowledge that l was not predis- posed in favor of our good friend and ally Don Emilio Aguinaldo Fami, or General Aguinaldo, as he is known to fane, The fact cannot be denied, nor does he attempt to deny it, that he re- ceiVed eight hundred thousand dollars from Governors General Primo de Rive ra and that he refused to share with his fellow insurgents, as had been under stood. But General Aguinaldo is help ing to make history and I was anxious to obtain for your readers a true &C., count of this man and the role he has played in his island home. The infor nation l secured is rather favorable to him, the more so since my informants, old residents of Manila, did not mani rest very friendly feelings for the lead- CT ot the insurgents, I have taken eve ry possible means to verify the account.
 In the latter part of last year the in surgents held the mountains, while the Spaniards were masters of the princi- pal towns and villages on the coast. General Primo de Rivera understood that an end must be made to this con- dition of affairs, and by means of two well-to-do natives whom he dispatched to Aguinaldo at Biacna-Bato, entered into negotiations with the insurgent leader. A council was held and the in surgents agreed to lay down their arms on the following conditions:
 First-The expulsion or seculariza- tion of the religious orders and the abo- lition of all the official vetoes of these orders in civil affairs
 Second-A general amnesty for all rebels and guarantees for their personal security and from the vengeance of the friars and parish priests after return ing to their homes.
 Third-Radical reforms to curtail the glaring abuses in the administration.
 Fourth-Freedom of the press to de- nounce official corruption and black mailing.
 Fifth-Representatio in the Spanish Parliament.
 Sixth-Abolition of the iniquitous sys- tenn of secret deportation of political suspects.
 Does not the simple enumeration of these conditions of peace condemn the colonial system of Spain? And in ac- cepting these conditions did not the governor-generala admit that the abuses existed? For Governor General Primo de Rivera did agree, but insisted that the leaders should leave the country. To provide them with the means of liv- ing, since all their property had been confiscated or destroyed, the govern ment paid them eight hundred thou sand dollars.
 So far all was well. But when peace was restored and the insurgent leaders had left, Spain's governor-general re- fused to execute any and all the condi- tions agreed upon, playing the same trick that had been successful with the Cubans after the peace of Zanjon,

THE SNUBBTNG OF SISTER SCHLEY

Miss Schley, the ambitious "lady phi lanthropist" who visited Madrid to call on the queen regent and Sagasta for the purpose of arranging a peace be- tween Spain and the United States, has been most thoroughly and justly snub- bed at Madrid. Neither the queen re- gent nor Sagasta would receive her. and she has been requested to leave the country.
 Miss Schley has been treated in strict accordance with her deserts. And she has been more than foolish. She evil dently didn't know that there is a law in this country against such a perform ance as hers. This law forbids all citi- zens, no matter how much they may be actuated by patriotic or humane im- pulses, from entering, directly or fndi- rectly, into any verbal or written corre- spondence or engaging in intercourse with any foreign government, or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of such foreign government in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the meas ures of the government of the United States. Such persons may be punished

Summer silks are made most elabor- ately Putting, shocking and shmrng are indulged in till the pattern of the silk is completely lost, Ribbon braid ing is laid on in bow knots, scrolls, circlings and all sorts of irrelevent sweeps. It is odd that the graceful woman will wear dress all patched up with lines of trimming in all direc- tiona and somehow give sweep to the dress that brings all the lines in har- mony with her figure.

It was year ago that Andree, Strindberg and Fraenkel ascended from Danes island in a balloon in the hope of making the journey to the North pole. A message dated July 13 was received from the party by car- Tier pigeons four days later. It show ed that the balloon had travelled 145 disappointing because the distance cov- cred should, according to previous es- inmates, have been 900 miles. Since that time not a single word has been received from the expedition.

A military device which has lately been tried by the British army is Lord Dundonald's galloping gun-car- riage on which rapid-fire gun may be mounted. The new carriage is de- signed to be drawn by one horse, and is to accompany cavalry wherever they go, being so light as to be readily lifted over fence, weighing less than. 400 pounds with its gun. It can be drawn by one horse, even at gallop, and enjoys the advantage that the horse can almost instantly start off at full speed in case of necessity. A hollow steel rod connects the trail of the gun with light shafts, in which the horse is harnessed by the ordinary ar arrangements.

President Julius D. Daeher, of Roan- ake college, addressed the Greenacre, Maine, Conference the other day on the development of education in the South He said that southern colleges reach many more young men in proportion to the money invested than do the col leges and universities at the North. The amount invested in grounds, buildings, equipment and endowment for each student enrolled in northern colleges varies from $3,000 to S1O,000 Gin one case s15,000), and in southern col leges from $1,0OO to s3,000 (only one in stitution having as much as $4,000). In spite of many difficulties, southern colleges have been much improved in the last two decades. Courses of study have been expanded and modified, the electrive system introduced, and the standard of graduation raised. The ouality of instruction has been im- proved, and higher qualifications are now generally required of the profes- sors.

ArizOnians as Soldiers.

It has long been conceded, says the
Prescott Courier, that the cow boys
make the finest cavalrymen tt be had
but the following opinions on the mat
ter from Major w. M. Wallace, End
cavalry, in reply to Col. Brodie, is ex-
cellent authority and will give renewed
enthusiasm to the gallant boys of the
plains who purpose to make up Col.
Brodie's cavalry regiment:
Whipple Barracks, Arizona,
April IA, 1898.
Col. Alex. o. Brodie, Prescott, Ariz.
Dear Sir: Replying to your ques-
ton as to the efficiency of the COW boy
in the capacity of a cavalry soldier, 1
have the honor to say that l believe
that the "cow boys" so called, are the
very best material for cavalry service
in Cuba, o. anywhere else, for that
matter. 1 have met them everywhere
in New Mexico and Arizona, from 1875
to this time. They are necessarily
young men and thorough horse men !:
the spirit that put them into the
saddle to start with is apparent all the
time. I cannot imagine any class of
men better fitted for the cavalry SER
vice-lots of assurance necessarily, and
having that qualification with all other
requisites to the make up of q
cow boy, bravery goes almost without
saying.
No man who is not q daring fellow

NINETY per cent of the people on the
streets Of Ell Paso yesterday were crit
icising the president severely because
he did not attach his signature to the
resolutions passed by congress instant
ly upon their receipt. This is al
wrong. This country loses nothing by
delay, as preparations for war are
pro ceeding as fast a. possible, and We
certainly, with all our wealth and
strength, are able to make more pre-
parations In Q given time than bank
rupt Spain. 1t is no small thing to
complete arrangements for q great
ration to 60 to war, especially ours,
which has been on q peace footing
solely for the last thirty years. Let
US be for the. defense of our country's
honor but trust in our president to ar
range the details. He is sure to handle
the matter wisely and every good citi-
zen should sustain him regardless of
party affilistiou. War Is almost GER
tain to come to US with all its dreadful
consequences and as We hear OF our
loved ones falling in battle or going
down upon q sinking ship she will
praise the noble Mckinley who averted
war as long Is possible.
