This peace talk of the Spaniards ap-
pears to be solely a desire to have the
Americans cease fighting and give the
Dons chance to fight with their
mouths, in the mean time making such
preparations or alliances as will enable
them to protract the war and benefit
themselves in the end. The best peace
that can be given in this contest is the
complete annihilation of a foreign power
that has become SO degenerated that it
has no place in the great Congress of
civilized Nations.

Smokeless powder has proven to he a
great protection to the soldiers, fact
most thoroughly demonstrated in the
Santiago campaign. Our navy depart
ment is accommodating supply of this
kind of powder at the rate of 5000
pounds day, aud in very short time
our ships will all be supplied with it.
The war department is also being sup
piled with ammunition made with this

The skill and mechanical genius of
our people in building ships; the high
personnel of the many, and the foresight
OF our naval authorities in literally
spending money for target practice has
had much to do with the success of the
American navy in completely destroy
ing two Spanish fleets, each one of
which contained ships of the very latest
and most perfect type.

Some ImnrnvcmenrA.


Several new residences in the course
OF construction In Perrysburg can be
pointed to with pride as evidences OF
the enterprise of our worthy citizens.
The new residence OF H. @. Barton
on East Front street is completed and
is now occupied by that gentleman and
his family
The building is q handsome two-story
frame structure of modern style and has
nine large and commodious rooms, bath
room, closets, halls and spacious cell
lar. A large furnace in the basement
furnishes heat for the house.
The contractor was A. E. Wisner Of
Toledo who has erected several new
houses in this place of late and it is un-
necessary to state that he is builder
of no small ability.
Becker & Hitchcock were the archi-
tects and the painting was done by L.
1. Browne of this place.
Altogether the residence is irst-class
IN every respect and Mr.. Barton can
justly feel proud OF his new home.
Work on the new home OF G. A. Hoff-
mann on Second street is progressing
rapidly under the charge of contractor
F. @. Hahn, and when it is completed
will be one of the finest and most con-
venient residences in the village and a.
great Improvement to the appearance
of the locality in which it is situated.
The building stands about 3Ox6O feet
on the ground and is of the English
shingle style with colonial details and
was designed by architect George B.
Rheinfrank. 1t has IL rooms besides
bath room, halls, etc., which will be
fitted up for electric lights, gas and
water, and has the latest improved sys-
TENS OF plumbing.
The mason work is under the super
vision OF James Thornton which is a
sufficient guarantee that it will be first
class.
This elegant new abode will be ready !
for occupancy in September.
The elegant new home of Mrs. j. G.
Maddy on West Front street is rapidly
nearing completion and when finished
will be unexcelled from point OF conven.
ience.
In the basement is the furnace which
is King No. 150 made by the Monroe
Furnace Co., and the Patterson
Acetylene Gas generator. This gas
generator furnishes illuminating gas
for the entire house which is said to
equal if not exceed electricity for light
ing purposes. The house is also fitted |
uD for electricity, should our town eyer
afford such a luxury. The plumbing
which is being done by Thos. Kewley of
Toledo is worthy of especial mention as
the joints are all polished and fitted in
such manner that they are hardly no.
ticeable. The laundry room is also in
the basement and is connected with
waterworks which saves much labor of |
hauling water, etc.
The residence has ten large rooms
finished In natural wood, bath room,
with hot and cold water appliance, and
in fact every improvement of modern
workmanship. A large veranda across
the front of the house is shaded by huge !
maple trees where the occupants can
repose and be famed by the gentle
breezes from OIL the Maumee during
the warm summer months.

Shetland Ponies.

The great value of the Shetland pony
lies in it's diminutive size, combined
with hardness and surprising strength
for so small an animal. These desira-
BILE qualities are the result of long
breeding in hilly, rocky country,
where pasture is scarce and the wealth
er often severe. These last facts les
sen the size, so that the animal may
more easily conform to it's surround
ings. The strength of the limbs is also
increased by the labor needed to climb
hills in which it's native home
abounds. Bred on lower and level
land, with abundant feed, the Shetland
pony increases in size, and also loses
some of the shagginess of name, tail
and fetlocks which are its distinctive
characteristics. Even in Shetland, as
the foreign demand for ponies make
them more valuable, the tendency is
to give them while growing better feed
and care This increases size and per-
haps lessons hardness. But this last
is quality only gained through heavy
losses of young animals which per-
ished under the old method of manage
ment, leaving only the most hardy to
survive. But if even - Shetland the
conditions which created the Shetland
pony are disappearing, it may be just
as we'll to have this breed become
more nearly the size that average hors-
es attain. The Shetland was always,
outside its native home, a breed for
fancy use rather than for either work
on speed.

MISS ZENITH TELLS A LIE.

Pursuant to appointment the adju-
tant called at the Morton's and for
hours waited in anxiety for Miss Stel-
la. Weary with waiting, fearful that
she was in trouble at home, he at
length went to Captain Zenith's and
being shown in saw Miss Zenith to
whom he said
Can l see Miss Stellar"
stella went to New York last night
with a relative and will not return for
an indefinite time"
with whom did she go? Why did
she go so suddenly? What is her New
York address,"
"She went with a cousin who tele-
graphed for her from Scranton as he
was enroute home from Wilkesbarre.
have forgotten their address in New
York but we will have it when she
writes. The visit is one long promised
but it was not just now expected to
occur so soon"
The adjutant was bewildered by this
| information and finding it impossible
to elicit the name of the relatives to
whom his affianced had gone he return
eu 10 MS quarters III camp.
That Miss Stella had gone to New
York he did not doubt and he was wor-
| ried by her apparent neglect to write
to him before her departure, even
though it was so hurried and unpre-
| meditated He remembered that she
had spoken of an anticipated visit to
| an uncle in New York, whose name, he
recalled, was Wills. He slept but little
that night, his mind being occupied by
the situation of his love affairs.
The next morning he procured
through his Colonel, an order from the
department commander, to proceed to
New York for the purpose of execut-
ing verbal orders to be communicated
to him by Colonel Boyden, this method
being frequently resorted to to evade
record of leave of absence, when off
GERS desired to visit any place for pri-
waite purposes. Accompanying this or
der came one for the detachment to
move to Scranton.
Thus, at the hour that Miss Stella
left Barton, the adjutant started to
New York, and the detachment
marched out of Minersvale toward
Scranton.
So little did the adjutant doubt that
Miss Zenith had told him the truth
that he never thought of consulting
Miss Morton but proceeded to New
York without communicating with her.
He communicated with no one, except
the Colonel of the regiment who was
at Scranton and Captain Welter, who
commanded the detachment ut Miners
vale; thus leaving everybody in MI
nersvale under the impression that he
had departed with the troops
He reached the metropolis in the
night and before he retired procured
city directory and made list of all
those named Wills whose adj
dresses were found in that
volume. He intended to call
upon them. one after another, and to
say to each that he had just arrived
from Minersvale and carried a mes
sage for Miss Stella Zenith, lately ar
rived in the city to visit relatives
whose name he knew to be Wills, but
whose address he had lost. He had no
doubt that by this method of search
he would succeed in finding his affi-
anced very easily AS soon as he
found her, they would be married, if he
could gain her consent.
Having thus fixed his plan of cam
paign. he prepared and sent to each
morning paper this personal:

London Guyed Her,

Mrs. Fitzpatrick, weli-known Amer
lean cyclist, upon her return from re-
cent visit in London, said;
at is impossible for a woman to
ride comfortably in London unless she
keeps to the parks. Rude boys, men
and women stand on the sidewalk and
shout all sorts of outrageous things as
you pass. They cry out You ought to
be ashamed You are disgrace to
the country You are no lady.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick and l rode down
town one day. l wore skirt only six
inches from the ground When a rain
come on l dismounted and took my
wheel under an awning to wait until
the shower was over. Somehow |
lost Charley in the crowd. Over 500
people gathered to look at me. They
blocked the pavement and actually
stopped-the traffic in the street. l
called a policeman to protect me, and
he said, You've no business to be
down here on wheel dressed that
way, and he stepped back in the
crowd. This was enough for the mob.
They began to guy me and | again
called the policeman. This time he
asked me how one or two policemen
could dispense such crowd, and l told
him it would take two New York cops
less than two minutes to scatter them
and if they could not do it alone they
would call for help. Then l tried to
make my way into the street to cab,
and the men and women poked UNI
brellas and canes at my wheel, trying
to break the spokes. l was almost
killed by wagon, and the drivers OF
the first two cabs that passed said they
were engaged The third had man
in it, but he saw my predicament.
jumped out and told me to get in. IS
he lifted my wheel up, the mob tried
to pull it out. and he raised his cane
and threatened to strike the next man
who dared to touch it. They followed
the cab for two blocks, yelling like
savages, and in the heart of London"
