Women are not the only ones who
are sensitive about their ages. A
man doesn't like to be told that he
is getting old. Health keeps a man
young. 1t doesn't make any differ.
ence if he has lived eighty years.
II they have been healthy years, he
will be hale and hearty and won't
look within twenty years as old as
he is. Good digestion and rich
red blood makes people look youth
full. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes rich, red blood.
1t makes health in the right way.
It works according to the right
theory, and in 80 years of practice,
it has proved that the theory is abb
solutely correct. 1t begins at the
Acknowledgements by putting the
stomach, liver and bowels into per-
feet order, but it begins its good
work on the blood before it finishes
with the digestive system. 1t
searches out disease germs where
ever they may be and forces them out
of the body. All druggists keep the
"Discovery."

such a charter would be highly

would have been under such charter,
aud would have written to the Governor
urging him to veto the bill if be had not
been informed that he had already done

SAYS he understands that gamblers from
New YORK, Chicago, and other cities
were interested in the Rossyn charter,
and that had the scheme succeeded IL
would have been worth hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to them, and that,
no matter how much some of the
people of the county may have been IN

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. "a, -

EVEN IN the improbable case that
the Maine was blown up by some lndi-
>idual or gang OF Spanish desperadoes
no unprejudiced and reasonable man
supposes that the government OF Spain
had any thing to do with that affair, or
knew of it untilit had occurred. There
fore, to 90 to war with her and risk the
lives of thousands of American citizens,
on that account, in order TO help some
negroes and scalawags in Cuba, would
be as silly as cruel. Nations are re-
sponsible for what their governments,
not their individuals, do, and to attempt
to hold them so for the acts OF the lat
ter would be absurd. This country has
had experience enough with blood
thirsty wretches, individually and col
lectively, as in the cases ofthe Garfield
and the Chicago Haymarket murderers,
TO teach it the folly of holding COM
munities responsible for the deeds OF
one or few men who live IN them.
and that it suspects more Gifts own
citizens capable of such deviltry, is
proved by the fact mentioned in yester-
davis Gazette, that during the whole Of
the Presidents recent trip to Philadel-
phis. he was never for one moment out
of the immediate presence of guards
and detectives.

Pennsylvania, last Tuesday, though it
had invited the Turner Ashby Camp Of
Confederate Veterans of Winchester, in
this State, to parade with it on that
day, refused to let them do so, because
they would carry their old flag along
with them. If in a war with Spain
she shall be supported by other foreign
nations, as it is confidently expected
she would be, this country will be in
need of all the men who will volunteer
in its service, and will not be particular
as to their sympathies with flag that

ago. But lingo warriors are not dis

A subterranean Passage.

HAVANA, Feb. 24.-In connection
with the claim made by the Cubans
that there are mine galleries under the
harbor of Havana, leading from subma-
rne passages, and known to have
existed for years between Fort CsbaDas,
Moro Castle and this port, the Span
iards explain that for over g century q
subterrauenn passage about two miles
long and eight feet at its narrowest
diameter, capable of giving passage to
q column of troops, has existed from
the navy yard to Castillo Del Principe.
But, the Spaniards further assert, the
existence of this passage was not known
TO the present authorities, or to those
who have been in power for many
years past. The entrances aud exits,
it is added, have been closed for years
by walls now covered with debris. and
their exact location is said to be lost.
At the same time it is admitted that
records regarding the subterrauesn pas
sage can be found in old documents
contained in the archives of Havana.
Finally the Spaniards insist that this
passage does not go under the harbor
at any point.

As IT is the unexpected that usually
happens, it is always well to be for
warned of what may occur. The pos.
session of common sense by the men at
the head of the government induces the
belief that there will not be war with
Spain. The President and the men
who bought his election unquestionably
do not desire such a war. Mr. Sher-
man is afflicted with senile imbecility,
Mr.. Day is utterly incompetent, Mr.
Mckinley is in the control of Wall
street. All are opposed to war, as all
should be, but the President wants a
reelection, and direful as war would
be, the gold monometallists imagine it
would hurt them less than the restora-
tion ofsilver coinage, and asa democratic
Congress would effect such coinage, they
may possibly be induced, as means Ct
securing popular favor, to agree to SUBJ
stitute blood and iron for the silver
question at next falls election, and may
compel Mr.. Mckinley to agree with
them and human nature is such that
the democrats, in order that he may
not concentrate all that favor upon
himself and his party, may prod him 10
warlike threats. So that if he shall
force Spain to take up arms against this
country, people entirely wise need not
be surprised

THE MAINE DISASTER.

Ano her visit was made to the wreck
of the Maine, in Havana harbor, yes
terdsy, by Capt. Sampson, president OF
the court.
The captain says he has no idea of
the length of time the court will remain
in session. 1t all depends upon the tes-
timony and new features requiring fur
Their investigation that may develop at
any time. Capt. Sampson added that,
sooner or later, every survivor OF the
Maine will be examined by the court
which seems to imply that sessions for
that purpose will he held at Key West.
DR.. Honeberger, Paymaster Ray and
Chief Engineer Howell and other witt
nesses testified before the court of in
quiry yesterday.
Admiral Sicard has transmitted TO
the Navy Department message FROM
Capt. Sampson stating that the forward
half of the Maine was completely de
stroyed, but that the after part stands
fairly we'll together. 1t is feared that
if the forward magazines have disap-
peared it will be impossible to discover
the primary cause of the explosion
Lieut.. Com. Wainwright will be sent to
Havana to look after the governments
interests while the wrecking companies
are at work on the Maine.
The Navy Department: yesterday re-
ceived information tending to sustain
the theory of accident and suggesting
doubts of the ability to bring home
what remains of the Maine. A brief
cablegram from thu examining beard
indicates that the explosion may have
occurred through the bursting of the
two forward magazines.
1t is believed in Key West that the
naval court of inquiry at Havana will
fud that the United States battleship
Mains was blown up by submarine
mine or torpedo.
Gen Lee, who has received numbtf
of dispatches inquiring as to the accu-
racy of the report that he is arrar gtng
10 &C 10 Key West on the torpedo boat
Gushing to meet Senator Proctor, says
he has no present intention Of doing so.
It is pointed out that European nations will
never permit Spain to be attacked unless
more tangible ard serious grounds for war
than the blowing up of the Maine as SO far
shown should BE discovered.

From Havana.

Excitement ON the Stock Market.

New YORK, Feb. 24.-The bottom
had apparently dropped out OF the
stock market at the opening This morn
ing and the depression was very acute.
verging toward panic conditions, and the
whole list showed running sales down
wards. Nearly every prominent stock
on the list opened at decline of q
point and the market tended heavily
downwards after the opening. Condi-
tions were decidedly nervous, owing to
the pessimistic view of the Spanish
American situation taken by brokers.
Everybody wanted to sell stocks and
apparently there were no buyers. OF
ferings at the opening of every promi-
neht stock were o: several thousand
qhares and quotations were almost lost
sight of. The tendency continued
downward very violently in the first
ten minutes, the average fall increasing
to over points. The swiftness of the
decline gave assurances that the bot
tom would soon be reached and the
first half hour saw prices steadying and
rebounding. Government bonds fell /
to l per cent, the latter in coupon As
both of 1907 and 1925. Spanish As fell
per cent additional in London.
Sales Of stocks up to y N. were 396, 10
shares. Railroad bonds shared in the
weakness and fell between and 2 per
cent. Some marked recoveries were
made in the hour after midday. An
easier tendency resulted in the general
ist. A rapid decline followed in the
late session, which Included practically
everything in the list. The losses
ranged from l to points as compared
with the preceding rally.

surprising. Southern white people will
not quietly submit to the social equality
