| the city in general IS meant, and not iso-
| lated cases OF individual excitement. The
removal Of the embargo consequent upon
quarantine laws gives relief to thousands
but the new trouble arises of lack Of
transportation. No doubt, many will
leave as the result Of a needless scare
since probably they would be as safe here
as anywhere, a possible bombardment
being left out of the account. Some Of
the Spaniards still talk wildly about the
United States fleet being blown out Of the
water by fire from the Habana batteries
on the water front, but, as careful prac-
tice two days ago showed the inability Of
the gunners 10 come within a hundred
yards Of a target on smooth water. at II
range of two miles. or Whereabouts Amer
lea need not be apprehensive of the Ha-
bana guns.
NO MINES IN THE HARBOR.
The story sent north that forty mines
had been recently sunk in Habana har- |
Dor is not verified. 1t IS improbable |
Likely enough, however, a single line |
or perhaps a double line, of torpedoes |
has been laid IN the narrOwest part Of |

No news has been received from the

likely to be any for some days, since the

ment as the city, and. indeed. owing to
the distance from news centres, i'm even

the home of Mr.. John Schnauffer on

sketches drawn by Mr.. Turner Mes

the capitals of the various
countries throughout the world and as
a picture was drawn each person wrote

organization of four young women,
who possess voices of unusual merit and
know how to tastefully use them to
the satisfaction Of the average music
lover Their selections were all of a
nature to please and they found ready
and sincere applause to all the mum bers.
Mr.. j. Edmund v. Cooke, the reader,
is Buckeye poet, whose home is in
Cleveland. His work is on the Riley

where They Tolerate Almost Any Old
Thing.
Sistersville has justly got the reputa-
tion that Everything goes" and the
city officials will tolerate anything
that comes along, from q shell game to
n gold brick scheme or lightning rod
agent. Everything that becomes in-
tolerable in nearby towns is received
here with open arms. OF course the
town is represented to be worse than
it really is, but 1t is surely too loose.
With the slot machines that were run
out of Waverly and Parkersburg, come
other vices. And last but not least are
the Hooche- -Kooche dancers that were
run out of Wheeling and Bellaire.
They came here Monday night, sell
tickets around town and show on n
shanty boat. Review.
