you have a pinched look. Secure

ep ,cial to The Herald.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE secre-
tary of war this morning cabled in
structions to Miles, Sbafter and
Merit to make no further movement
against the enemy. Miles was in
structed to inform the Spanish COM
mander at Porto Rico of these orders.
This move is considered significant.
It is understood that the admins
t alton has receive ; inform II rotic of
Spains acceptance of the protocol.
The orders are virtually the first
step of an armistice. The latter will
probably be declared today when the
formal reply Of Spain is received.
The instructions sent The COM
manders to make no futher move
ment against the enemy were pre-
paratory instructions of probable
armistice: not final or definite in
structions.
Hong Kong, Aug. 1.-THE Span
ish consul has chartered a steamer
to carry the peace news in order to

which is so imminent.
Gibraltar, Aug. 1.-THE British
Mediterranean feet is ordered to re-
main here. The reason is unknown.
This is regarded in Madrid as a
strange proceeding.

to their bosoms. What cold and
dismal world this would be-no
mothers, no fathers, no grandmas' no
nothing but grown-up people who
never played horse or sang lullaby
song.
My cynical friend says that children
make no return except in filial duty
and no recompense but affection.
Well, that is enough. Parents do
not ask any more. The love and
obedience of good child is beyond
price. The disobedience and ingratl-
of bad one is the most intense OF
all miseries. There is not greater
contrast upon earth than in the Joy
or the sorrow that children bring to
parents. From the time OF old Eli
until now this contrast has been
going on. That poor old man had
the curse of God upon him because
his children were vile and he re
strained them not. I tell you, young
friends, who have mated and married
and are rearing children, you had
better read and ponder the story OF
old Eli. The first commandment
says Il will visit the sins of the
fathers upon the children" but in
this story the Lord visited the sins
of the children upon the parent. The
ole man was cursed and the priest
hood taken from his house forever.
What if all the preachers who have
bad children were deposed in these
days? How many churches would
be closed against the married clergy?
Wouldn't the young theologians be
in demand and have monopoly OF
the business until they, too, got mar
ried and raised bad children? There
has been much said and more written
about how to raise children; but the
old landmarks are the best. They
must be restrained and, if example
and commands will not do it, then
the rod must help. Line upon line,
precept upon precept-here a little
and there a little, which I suppose
means whip little on this side and
then little on the other side. l
heard sensible and fond mother
say yesterday: II spanked Mary
Lou twice within few minutes, and
it didn't do her bit of good. Then
I spanked her third time and she
has been the best little child in the
world ever since"
But every parent knows as much
about this as I do, and so l will re-
frain from further advice. Every
mother knows how TO raise other
peoples children, and I know Of no
one who says she is tempted to move
away to get her children away from
the bad influence of her neighbors'
children. The neighbors smile at
this, for they know that she has the
worst in town and they are willing
for her to 90. Even my wife used
to think teat the school teacher ought
to whip every boy but hers. 1t is a
touching and beautiful fact that how
ever bad boy may be and however
abused and condemned by the COM
munity and the laws of the land, if
he has mother he has friend.

SHE FOUNDED TIE UNION
MISS WILLARD'S LOSS KEENLY
FELT HERE.
Memorial Meeting of the Womens
Christian Temperance Union Today
Ladies Will Tell of Her Work.

Mrs. p. c. Jones, Mrs. II. j. Green
and Miss Mary Green will give remi-
niscences of the life of Miss Frances
Z. Willard at the memorial services to
be held by the Womens Christian
Temperance Union in the Central Uni
on church parlors this afternoon.
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Green met Miss
Willard at the national convention in
Boston some years ago. A warm
friendship sprang up among these la
dies. Miss Green was thrown largely
in Miss Wizards society at the con-
vention of the Union held in Toronto
last year.
To Miss Willard belongs the honor
of being the founder of the local So
ciety. 1t was she who first suggested
by letter the ACCESSIBILITY of organic
ing a union in Honolulu. Mrs. Lea
witt afterward organized the union.
Since that time Miss Willard always
had the warmest aloha for the
Honolulu Union. Up to very few
weeks previous to her death she was a
constant and cheerful correspondent
of the officers. Many of the officers
of the Union, including Mrs. J. NJ.
Whitney, the president, who had never
had the pleasure of meeting Miss Will
lard, felt that they knew her quite in
timately by the letters they received
from her.
Resolutions on the death of this no.
bic woman will be presented and
adopted at the meeting this afternoon.

'SCROFULA
1t is Foul Blood's Advertise
ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.


Yes, Scrofula, il anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with inn
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms Of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
SMITH, South Middleboro, Mass.
