THE FALL OF MANILA.

The fact that Manila was bombarded
and fell after the peace protocol was
signed will in no wise complicate mat
tiers, and has no abrogating bearing upon
any of the conditions of that document.
The bombardment and capture of the city
were the logical elimination of the
trend of events. News Of such a culmi-
nation had been expected for some days.
1t would only have been prevented by
this governments sending to Dewey and
Merritt precautionary notice-that is,
notice that it was believed the protocol
would be formally agreed to.
Considering, however, SPANS penchant
for procrastination and her record for
the sending of such a notice would not
have been justihable-was not, indeed,
called for.
Nor is the event unique; similar events
have occurred before, notably, the battle
of New Orleans. which was fought after
peace between this country and Great
Britain had been declared.
OF course, the public will await with
interest details of the fighting, but they
will await with greater interest news
as 70 the aftermath as involved In our
relations with the insurgents. Recently
there has been promise that following the
fall of Manila these relations would be
very ugly, and that we might, in order to
protect the Spaniards, have to turn our
guns upon the Philippine rebels.

IL must attune its efforts II IL would
make mental moral, and material pro-

that facts must be looked squarely in the

Savannah News.
If the recruiting officers and examining
surgeons have preserved the records as
to enlistments, they will, we think, afford
data of the highest importance.
The negro race is diseased TO an aston
ishing extent; fact that we do not give
sufficient attention to, considering that
they make. our bread, wash our clothes,
and nurse our children.
There are hundreds Of negroes employed
as house-servants who would be instantly
dismissed If their employers only knew
how badly diseased they are. Colored
ministers, teachers, and physicians, and
all others who have the ear Of these
people would do them a good service,
and benefit the general public, by warn
ing them to take better care of themselves
and TO keep clean.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer, ="
and young women are so taught.
There Ia q little truth and great deal
of exaggeration In this. II young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she getsit.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate TO
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address Is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. have gained flesh and have
good color. am completely cured OF
irregularity."

THE KILLING OF HALL CARTER.
Prices Trial VIII Commence To-
Day-MysteriOus Call.

| FARMVILLE, VA, August 16.-(Spe-
ciall-Contrary to general expectations,
Mrs. Thomas w. Price arrived in Farm
Vile to-day in order that she may testify
at this term of Prince Edward court in
| behalf of the husband, who tomorrow
| will be put on trial for the murder Of
| Mr.. Hall Carter BY order OF the Court,
| Dr. L. \. Winston made an early start
| this morning for the Price home, seven
| teen miles from this place. Sheriff Dick
erson accompanied him. The Doctor had
a brief conversation with Mrs. Price on
his arrival at her home, and she con-
sented TO make the trip, though she
seemed reluctant to do so. Having been
for many years an invalid, confined for
the greater part of that time to her cham
Der, II was with great difficulty that
the saddened old lady could prepare her.
self for the Journey, and before she had
dressed herself. and started, she said:
oh! Doctor, cannot go to Farmvlle"
The kindly physician replied, tenderly,
to her, saying he was there as her friend
and meant not to subject her to the jour-
ney to Far1nville, if, for a moment, he
thought it would endanger her life. Re-
flecting a moment, and thinking, perhaps,
OF the husband, whose interest she was
wanted for, the poor. old lady, brushing
away the tears, said: IN try to 60"
and then so filled was she with the sad
dest emotions that for awhile she could
speak no more.
Mrs. Estes. good neighbor, who has
been with Mrs. Price ever since the hor-
rlbie tragedy, accompanied her to Farm
Vile.
STOOD TRIP WELL.
Mrs. Price stood the trip remarkably
well. being In splendid condition when
she reached Farmville, at about noon.
The carriage conveying the party drove
TO the Old Dominion Hotel, and the in
valid lady was taken out and seated in
a. chair. in which she was carried by
strong arms to comfortable apartments.
The prosecution expects to be able to
get through with their witnesses certain
ly in two days, when Mrs. Price will take
the stand for the defence. The witnesses
are few in number, and ii Is not believed
the trial will consume more than three
DAYS. 1t is said that Mrs. Price at
tributes the shooting of Hall Carter TO
a drunken spree, and says that whiskey
has been the bane OF her married life.
MYSTERIOUS CALL.
Or. Winston. is one of the best-known
and most prominent physicians Of this
town. Last nigh: a mysterious tele-
phone call was received at his residence
for him to go Immediately to F. r.
Twelvetree's a distance Of five miles in
the country. Whoever 1t was at the
phone refused to impart the name. Dill
gent inquiry to-day has failed to throw
any light upon the matter, and no one
has been reported sick at the home OF |
Mr.. Twelvetree's. There are not more |
than a score Of telephones in Farm |
Vile. and inquiry was made all to-day, |
but no one had any idea who rang up the |
Doctors residence and gave the sum-
mons referred to.

1T is not true that American pos

American monopoly there in commerce.
Unless high discriminating tariffs were

mere political control determines the

Great Britain's export trade with Canada
is far less than that of the United States

we to explain the fact that Great Bri-
