THERE: is now falr prospect that the
misfortune Of crippled postal service
will b. ayrrtcd by means OF deficiency
appropriation. Members of Congress
and the Po.totlice Department have been
submerged in protests against such
eactionary policy. Business inter
ests, just rcvving after a long pros
tration, are emphatica|ly demand
ing that the menace shall be with
drawn, and postmaSterS in large
cities are explaining how serious would
be the consequences OF the congestion
which tie proposed curtailmcnt would
inevitably produce. 1t is suggested that
the Department anticipated the outcry
which its action would cause, and
shrewdly calculated the effect Of gen.
eral renonstrancc upon Congress. How
ever that may be- there is no doubt that
a tremendous pressure has been put on,
and those best informed believe that it
will be cffcctual.
SPANS own testimony that she has
falsely denied that the Cuban revolution
exists, and that Spanish power in the is
land is contested by a revolutionary
government, is very impressive. Cuba
could not have exhibited the strength Of
Il i'll
Spain when she resortcd to the desperate
act of assassination and stole the life OF
Macco like thief. Since then she has
exchanged prisoners with the rebels. and
yesterday she reported with unconccacu
cxultation that tie SpaniarlS had cap
turcd the Cuban capital, til" seat Of the
Cuban Government. Yet nothing within
Spain's power can shake the CUbans'
resolution to drive out the Spanish tyr
amy, which squcezcs the life ont Of the
island the more inhumanlv because the
horror OF it is not within sight Of Euro
pcan civiliz ltion. President Mckinley is
a cautious man, but he is loyal to the
duties Of his place. lie knows as well as
any one that American sentiment looks
with indignation upon the physical and
political atrocities continuing in Cuba.
And he is also aware that in the middle
OF the platform upon which majority y
of the voters made him President OF the
United States there is plank demand
ing the termination Of the Cuban war, il
necessary at the hands OF the United
States Government. The time for EX-
ccutive response to this powerful and
characteristic feeling cannot be very .ong

A Pathetic Case.

A most pathetic occurrencetransplr-
ed near Unger's Store, w. Va, the
latter part of last week and the first OF
this week. Dlphtheria has been raging
in that vicinity and Ella the 18-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Montgomery I'm
ger, acquired the fatal malady and
died last Friday. On Saturday when
Undertaken Shanholtz went to the res
idence to bury the remains, he found
the body had not been prepared, so
great was the fear OF the neighbors
that the contagious disease would be
contracted. At the same time Mrs.
Unger was also i'll with a combination
of quincy and diphtheria, A number
OF men volunteered to undertake the
disagreeable but civilized act of pre-
pairing the remains for burial and
they were inferred. The sorrow
stricken family's grief became more
pungent when the mother died last
Monday. A grandchild is also i'll WITH
the disease. Mr.. Unger is respected
citizen of that community and has the
sympathy of all in his hour of deep
distress. World.

A Picnic.

On Thursday last, a small party
composed of six girls, left Martins
burg early in the morning with the
intention OF spending the day at Will
low Grove, west of this city. A very
enjoyable time was had during the
day until FIVE o'clock when they LETT
the grove and reached the home OF
Mr.. John Kilmer, when terrific rain
storm began. At first comfortably seat
ed on the spacious porch in the front OF
the house, time was spent pleasantly
watching the course OF the elements.
Presently it became too damp and
cool for some to be satisfied in the
open air, and through the hospitality
Of the hostess they found their way to
the kitchen where they enjoyed watch
ing the sparks fly, singing songs and
conversing gayly. After long but
pleasant season of waiting, a good
Samaritan from Martinsburg was
spied on the road with a covered
conveyance which brought the bevy
home safe and sound.

Big Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since Danville, ILL.,, jury
ordered the male defendant in a
breach of promise case to pay the
competent sum of $54,333.33 to the
afflicted one. Though it is a pretty
high estimate of blighted affection,
there is another estimate which, il
not in dollars and cents exactly as
high, yet in general consideration OF
excellence reaches as lofty an attitude.
This is the estimate of the people as
to the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as a remedy for constipation.
The action Of this gentle but effective
laxative is never accompanied by the
gripping so marked in the operation
of most cathartics 1t is an incom-
parable remedy for and preventive of
malarial, rheumatic and kidney COM
plants, and a promoter of appetite
and sleep.
