Washington. April 1e.--After one OF
the hardest fought battles between the
two houses known in many years con.
gress at an early hour this morning
came to an agreement upon the most
momentous question it has dealt with
In third OF a century. The Cuban
resolution was passed and was sent tC
the president this morning. Its pro-
visions mean the expulsion OF Spain
from the island of Cuba by the armed
forces of the. United States. There
were many roll calls in both houses,
and each body held tenaciously for its
own resolution. The conference had
great difficulty In agreeing. The first
conference showed a determination on
the part Of the house not to yield sin
gle point. and It was only after long
consultations with the house leaders
that they agreed to allow the little
words ARE and in the first section of
the senate resolution, which declares
that the people of Cuba are and Of right
ought to be free and Independent. The
resolution as finally adopted is that re-
ported from the senate committee on
foreign relations, with the addition of
the fourth section, known as the Teller
amendment disclaiming any intention
on the part Of the United States to ac-
Quire Cuba.

London, April 19.--The Vienna corre-

Austrian government and emperor. He
says: 1T Is not true that any very
prominent part has been taken by
either the emperor or the government.
Moreover, there has been and can be
no question of intervention. 1t is medi-
alton in its least obtrusive form which
the powers have attempted, conflning
themselves to appealing to the prin-
ciples of humanity and proffering their
good offices in case the two conflicting
parties should want to take advantage

Embarrassing Kindness.

says that the Newfoundland fisherman
is the personifcation of hospitality.

An American comedian went to New

few notes as to their appearance.
When he and his companion had fin
ished their meal, and were turning to
go, their hostess, In her husbands abb
sence, pressed parcel upon them.
They accepted it, thinking it was fish.

The parcel was Immediately opened,
and was found to contain the eccentric
trousers. The two strangers ran back
and took the fisherman completely by
surprise. 1t was a chilly day, but he
was mending his nets in his wife's
skirt.
He was very much hurt at the I'm
ability of the guests to accept his gift.
He had been wearing those trousers
for period of seventeen years, and
was naturally attached to them; II
seemed to him that the gratitude of the
recipient should have been proper
toned to his own pang in parting with
them.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1898-06-10

HAD SOME GENTLE EXCUSE.
the night Of the ball everything was
altered between them. Hildred was
no longer the devoted, unselfish wife,
who studied him and his interests
above everything else-she was the
proud, passionate, tender woman, who
would rather have died than let him
know that she loved him in spite Of
his neglect.
In consequence Of this the earl was
thrown more and more into the society
Of Lady Hamilton. His wife declined
to ride with him; Lady Hamilton as
sured him there was nothing she liked
better than overlooking another per-
sons correspondence. His wife never
asked him to sing; Lady Hamilton did
so, and sat listening. and looking un-
utterable things. Lady Caraven's shy
ness was her opportunity. Not that
she for a moment intended to make any
mischief between husband and wife,
or that she was in love with Lord Cara
ven; but she acted as she did simply
because it was her practice to absorb
the attention and engross the interest
OF every man who came within the
sphere of her attractions. The deeper
nature Of the nobler woman did not
recognize this. The young countess
hid her love as she had hidden her
jealousy. But it was hard to bear.
Ito be continued.)
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1898-06-10

"She does not like me-" thought the
earl; "and she has little reason to-"
He was frank enough to own that.
The dance ended, he led his wife to
seat, and then left her with bow.
She was never quite the same again.
AS 1t needs but small match to fire a
train OF gunpowder, so it. needed but
little to awaken her love into keen,
quick passionate life. That one dance
with him had done it. She loved him
with her whole heart, and the sudden
ness with which that conviction
flashed over her bewildered her. She
sat quite still, the soft, sweet music,
the ripple OF the little fountain, the
subdued murmur, all mingling in her
ears-fowers, lights, jewels, fair faces,
all dazzling her eyes-and she said to
herself: II love my husband" The
whole world seemed changed to her.
Shyly, timidly, she looked at him. He
was talking to group of ladies, his
handsome face all animation, his tall,
well-built figure all grace. He was a
man to be proud ola man to love.
But he must never know about this
love of hers-this newly-found pre-
cious treasure. He despised her for
her want of noble birth; she must
keep her love as secret as the grave.
That increased the distance between
them. She was so fearful that he
should think her unwomanly, so afraid
that he should imagine she wanted his
love, that she took refuge in cold, shy
proud avoidance. There were no more
rides or drives to see the buildings and
improvements; there was no more
quiet letter-writing in the library.
When Lord Caraven wanted Hildred,
she had some gentle. ready excuse, and
with a house full OF visitors it was
difficult to determine whether those ex-
cuses were genuine or not. But from

this ball. All that flowers, lights and
superb decorations could effect was eff

and tapers made brightness greater
