general rejoicing of the people OF Balti-
more that the deferred opportunity of
thirty seven years has at last arrived; and
|, and in behalf of the people OF our be-
loved city, tender you the welcome, free
dom, hospitality, and protection Of this
city. The latch strings not only hang on
the outside of the doors, but the doors OF
the citizens of our dear old city are wide
open, and their arms are outstretched and
eager to receive and do honor to those who
have inherited the legacy of the old Sixth
vaor on many hard-fought fields can only
be told by the historian. The citizens Of
this city will never enjoy a greater degree
OF pleasure than in meeting this splendid
body of soldiers on their return to the
bosom of their families, with each of their
names emblazoned high upon the scroll of
honor in letters wrought there with patrio-
tic and loyal actions of their individual
worth that will never bring shame Or blush
to theI posterity."
Happy will it be, if, after the present
contest there shall he left no remembrance
of vindictiveness, cruelty and revenge, but
only memories of sacrifices made in the in
terest of freedom, civilization and human
ity.
We used to hear much of "the code Of
honor If one man insuIted another,
honor required challenge to mortal COM
bat. Even in this day Spanish officer
challenged a United States commander for
offensive words before the Naval Court OF
Inquiry. Fortunately the officer had sup
erlOr obligations to his country, or we
might have lost him as the country lost
Hamilton at the hands of Aaron Burr.
Happily this type of honor is less common
than formerly, especially in this country.
Franklin saw its folly as early as his day.
lie supposed one man saying to another:
Your presence is offensive; | wish you
would move away" A challenge ensued,
but the man refused to fight, alleging that
II he got killed he would become offensive,
himself, and il he killed the challenger he
you'd become become more offensive than
before. That code of honor settles nothing
and makes bad matters worse Senator
Ben Hill, of Georgia, challenged Alexander
II, Stephens. Stephens declined to fight
tor two reasons. IL" said he, have a
family to support and soul to save, and
you have neither ~
We look forward to the time when the
international code of honor will be above
ply steal contests, and referred to albitra-
uon but whenever war seems unavoidable,
may it be carried on with honor, y in the
nigh SENSE Of IA regard, not for sellshness or
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Or revenge, but for the

X-RAY In WARFARE.
Many Lives and Limbs Saved by til
Use of Roentgen'S Discovery.

Surgeon Beeyor who recently accompar-
led the frontier campaign in India, has sub
'ntted the first report OF the use OF the
ROentgen rays in warfare to the United
Service Institution, in London. Many
important cases consisted of bullet wounds
received by Offices and men who were in
juled in the bones, joints and internal or
Sans, which injuries but for the N-rays
would have resulted in the amputation of
limbs and probable loss of life. The pic,
lures shown included wounds in the arm,
leg, chest, back, finger and other parts.
The most remarkable results, perhaps, were
case of bullet Embedded in the back
bone, another in the hip, and the case of an
Indian soldier who was shot in the foot,
pieces OF the bullet finally lodging in the
back OF the heel also the case of General
Woodhouse, who received bullet wounds in
the ley and at the memorable skirmsh at
Dargai. In all these instances the bullets
were, by the use of the \ rays successfully
removed, the men subsequently rejoining
their comrades at the front. The ap-
paratus weighs from eighty to one hundred
pounds.

A few days ago young man saun- tered into the gymnasium of the Y. NJ. C. A., being accompanied by member who invited him to do a little work with him. The newcomer stripped to beau tiful flesh. hard and rigid and won derful to see. After some little combi-. nation work with the member who had introduced him, the visitor began, op- erations on his own account He lift ed enormous bells with graceful ease he swung clubs which others had re garded simply as being there for show, . he hoisted himself upon the pole with one finger, and in general he acted like modern and well-kept Samson. The other man stopped his little triv- ial work and stared at the athlete as he put those steel muscles of his into use.

 But. in spite of this, in 1893 the na- tional finances had been so far pulled up out of the slough that Spanish four per cent. bonds were selling at about .63 in the money centers ofsthe world, and at this figure returned to investors profit of six per cent.
 The war with Cuba turned the fnan- cial tide against Spain once more. The cost of this war has from the first been charged against the resources of the island. but as these ceased to exist as

 soon as the insurrection gained head way the mother country was forced to guarantee the debt.
 [ In March, 1895. 1Sagasta's cabinet found it necessary to borrow from the Bank of Spain 17,50G,o0o pesetas. A pe- seta is equal to about 10 cents in our money. This loan was secured by the Cuban five per cent. bonds of 1890.
 The next administration, when it came into power, gotan additional loan of 25,o00,00o pesetas from the same source, giving as before Cuban bonds as security.
 Later on Spain made an appeal to the French banks, which in former times had rendered her assistance in her diff culties. The sum Spain sought to bor- row was 1o0,000s00o pesetas. The bait held out was liberal promises in the way of favors to the French capitalists interested in Spanish railroads.
 There resulted from this sale of 50,- 100000 pesetas in Cuban bonds by the Banque de Paris ct Pays Bas.
 Oyertures were also made. to the Rothsehilds to take up some of the bonds. The famous Almaden quicksil- yer mines. were offered as security for the proposed loan, and the deal was al- most on the point of consummation when the Rothsehilds drew out, refus- ing the lease of the mines. In Novem- Der, 1896, Spain asked for 400, 1000, ,o00 pe- setas at five per cent, the bonds to run for eight years and made good by the customs of the kingdom. These bonds were taken largely in France and re- turned about 392, GOO, GOO pesetas to the Spanish treasury, the greater part of which, however, had to go to make good the previous loan of the Banque de Paris ct Pays Bas.
 These transactions were followed by others of a similar nature, all guaran- teed by Spain herself, but charged against the myth known as Cuban re- sources. r
 In the mysterious course of her fnan- cial engineering the bulk of these so- called Cuban bonds journeyed back to Spain, and are to-day in Spanish hands. 1t is what are known as the Spanish four per cent. externals that are held abroad.
 This particular issue of bonds was handled originally by the English banks and brokers to great extent, but, judging from England's present excess of friendship for the United States, one is led to the belief that very few are now held there.
 Itis the Spanish fours that are held in the United States, but whether or not the holding is large enough to exert any such influence as Senator Chandler ai- leges is of course purely a matter of conjecture.
 The secret will not be divulged until the war is over and the question of in-

demnity comes up for settlement. Then those who own the bonds will be much in evidence, working their various pulls 10 secure an adjustment that will not leave the Spanish fours on the chilly side of nowhere. A canvass of Wal street revealed the curious fact that Spanish bonds are not held in quite the esteem one might fancy.
 Said a well-known broker:
 Spain is really q much richer eopn- try than the public supposes, and can meet her obligations, heavy as | hey are, when the war ceases. France had Q greater debt to provide for when the Franco-Pfussian war came to an end, and yet stood firm.p

Strange Mode of Trave1-Possible so- IutiOn of the Puzzling Flights
 of Small Birds.
 TCopyriG ht, 1898. ]


 However the little birds contrive to get across such vast expenses of the sea in their annual migrations is a pug zling question. That they do it is un- questionable; it is admitted by the most competent observers that they some times get over stretches of billowy brine that for a thousand miles afford no perch for their weary little claws to clutch on. That such an extended flight is too much for them is not only evident in itself but is proved by the fact that these too venturesome song sters sometimes alight on the rigging of ships in such state of exhaustion that, when disturbed, they are unable to fly the length of the vessel, and oc- easionally even fall helpless upon the deck. Sometimes, too, they are seen floating on the water with wings out

 Young women are wing with each other to see which can devise the most patriotic wearing apparel. The two ar ticles which so far deserve the prize are pair of hats, one Cuban, the other decidedly American. The American hat is large poke with sIaall crown, made of loosely woven straw in the three colors of our flag.

stretched Possibly they may now and then rise from the waves refreshed and able to continue their journey, but it is an uncommonly hazardous resting place, for if the weather is stormy they are sure to be drowned, and anyhow the. sea swarms with rapacious fishes that rarely get a bite at bait so dainty. as birdmeat. Yet these tiny creatures. though plainly incapable of an unbrok- en flight so protracted that it is se- wore strain even to the big wings Of the strongest fiers, seem in the major ity of cases to reach the shore in safe ty.. And here is one theory of how they manage the matter:
 An English trevcler, who was eonsid- erably interested. in birds, happened to be passing the autumn in the island of Crete, in the Mediterranean; and he often noticed a sound like the twitter- ing of small birds at times when the sand cranes were passing overhead on their way southward. As the only fowl in sight were the cranes, this aroused his curiosity, and he mentioned the matter to friend who was a na- tive of the island, suggesting that pos sibly the noise was caused by the whir- ring Of the feathers of these great birds His friend, however, said no; tho noise, he declared, was made by song birds that were riding on the back of the cranes, and he further as serted that the saucy little fellows had come all the way from the coast of Europe with their good-natured com. panions, who lent, if not helping hand, helping back, which was much more seaviceahle, Us often as .Leeded.
 A few days later the Englishman got pretty conclusive proof of the truth of these statements. He was cruising about in boat about 15 miles from shore, when another flock of cranes passed overhead, and he heard the same twittering notes. He there fore discharged bis gun to see what would come of it; and forthwith he saw three small birds rise up from the flock in fright
 The next year he was visiting Cairo, in Egypt, and observed a great num- ber of wagtails in the palm gardens there. After watching them for some time, as they hoped about and tilted in the fashion that has given them their name, he asked an old Bedouin chief who stood near how he imagined they got there, as they always spend the summer in Europe. The sheik at once replied: ''Ya khamageh (my dear sir), do you not know that these little birds are borne across the sea by the larger ones?"
 The traveller put the same question to couple of Arab donkey boys who came up to offer him their beasts.
 Surely" they cried, "Abu Saad (the stork) has carried them over the sea-

 The Cuban hat is a kind of palmetto sailor with a rolling edge and dented crown. Gold braid trims the edges of the hat band, and the Cuban flag, knotted at the back, is frifged in the same manned as is the American flag in the other hat. These silk flags with fringed ends make a very pretty trim- ming and will be popular on all sorts of sailor hats this summer
