MARTHA WASHINGTON'S OVEN
Druggist Brainard Discovers 1t
Among HeirIOoms, with Letter
Attesting It's Genuineness.

c. L. Irainard, an Oak Park (Chi-
cago) druggist, while searching among
some family heirlooms recently found
an oven which had once belonged to
Martha Washington, together with a
letter giving a history of the relic.
The utensil has more the appearance
of kettle than an oven. 1t is round
iron pot about six inches deep and 13
inches in diameter. Originally it was
suspended by chains to an iron tripod,
but the tripod has been lost.
Martha Washington gave the oven to
a Mrs. Mary Denning, in 1878, in ex-
change for some knitting. Mrs. Den
ming died in 1927 and the oven passed
into the possession of her daughter,
Mrs. Elizabeth Renshaw.
During the war of 1912 Mrs. Denninp.
who was living in Brandywine Manor,
Pa, buried the oven in her yard with
$500 in ii. In 1910 Mrs. Renshaw ex-
changed her treasure for some coal
oil and tobacco to r. w. Wright,
storekeeper Of Coatsville, Pa, who was
the grandfather of c. L. Brainard.

remarkable Operation Performed by
California Surgeons on n
Male Patient.

A remarkable feat in surgery was
performed at the city and county hos
pital at San Francisco few days ago.
and as a result John Rennie must here
after struggle along through life with
only one-half stomach and about
three-fourths the usual number of in
testines. Rennie for some years had
suffered from a stomach affection. He
was removed TO the hospital and pre-
pared for an operation. On Friday DR..
Ellinwood and DR.. Rxford, assisted by
DR.. Hoffman and DR.. Gibbons, per-
formed the double operation known to
the surgical world as pylorictomy and
gastrotomy. A cancer was located at
the junction of the stomach and
large intestine completely surround
ing the opening. Half Of the stomach
and six inches of the intestine were re-
moved. After the wound was closed
the patient, who is so years old, rallied
in an astonishing manner. He retains
and digests his food, showing that the
wound has healed, and the physicians
say Rennie will recover

The New Secretary Of State, Col. Hay,
Repudiates a Grave Ac-
cusatfon.

There is grave accusation against
YOU" some one said in the corridor
of the Holland house at New York city
the other day TO John Hay while he
was resting between the embassy to
Great Britain and the secretaryship
of state.
What is it ?" he asked, languidly.
you are accused of being regretful
at having written the Pike County
Ballads You are charged with repu-
dating the engineer whose ghost
went up alone, and the Yankee moral
ity expressed in the verses:
Saving little child
And bringing home 10 his own
Is a demned sight better business
Than loaiing about the throne"
Mr.. Hay had the authors smile of
satisfaction when the verses were
quoted. Then he said
81 repudiate these things? What a
calumny. l said some time ago that
regretted the publication then of Cas-
titan Days without a preface. My
ideas of Spain in 1871 were not ideas
Of Spain in 1897. To infer from that
remark that I am inclined 10 criticise
adversely even 'Castilian Days is
wrong, but you may understand how
the inference occurred"

Miss Mary Lee Hill. the pretty and
accomplished daughter of Gen. A. p.
Hill, who was one of the confederacy's

logical successor to the place held in
the esteem of the southern people by
Miss Winnie Davis as the daughter of

Miss Hills friends regard the matter
of her formal succession to both the
place and title as fixed. Miss Hill, who

Negroes Petition Congress

Washington, April 11.-A petition signed by prominent colored men of Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana was today presented to the senate committee on priv ileges and elections requesting the commit tee to extend it's recent senate resolution particularly as to the consideration of the franchise features of the completed consti- tutions of South Carolina and Mississippi, and the changes contemplated as to the suffrage in Louisiana. Attention Is called to the fact that the reconstructed consti- tutfons adopted by Mississippi, South Caro- lima and Louisiana, and ratified by con- gress could never be altered or changed so as to abridge the right of suffrage to any citizen, who was entitled to the en- joyment of the suffrage by the terms of the constitution approved by the acts of congress.

AS VIEWED IN HAVANA.
La Luchas Comments Upon the Presidents Mes
 sage.

Havana, April 11.--9 p. m.-La Lucha says editorialy: Diplomacy has triumphe6 along the whole line. Without being able to appreciate exactly what the victory DOT tends. As yet. 1t is McFinley's victory. The facts apparently show this. Still 1t is in g. sense triumph for Madrid, because they have yielded not to President McKin- ley, but to the entreaties of the great powers and to his holiness, the pope If the insurgents do not accept a cessation of hostilities, not having asked for 1t, and in- terpreting 1t as imposed by the United States, that would be defeat for President Mckinley, assuming taht their representa- tions are correct, who deny knowing this strange hand from which protector be- comes a master with selfish and interested aims"
 'In all the circumstances it will be an immense advantage if the insurgents would reject the armistice; for President McKinley's government would be defeat ed, they having demanded, requested or whatever 1t was this concession from Spaln. Madrid wants peace as a medium to an end; and the United States do not want war. That is enough for today and to- morrow will tell what Senor Sagasta and Senor Moret will show what they can ac- complish."

THE FOREIGN PRESS.
What the London Papers Have to Say of the
 Message.

London, April 12.-The Daily News, com menting editorially upon the presidents message to congress, says: "The message is vigorous and able document. Un- doubtedly it means war unless Spain agrees to make final terms with the insurgents and to recall her troops from Cuba. It must convince Europe that the cause for American intervention is a very strong one. President McKinley's refusal to rec ognize the independence on the ground that 1t would nullify Americas claim to inter- fere is sound sense and a staggerer for the jingoes, but Spain must Loyalty co-operaet with him if war is to be averted.
 The Standard says: The undisgused dis appointment of the jingoes at the subdued and cautious tone of the message cannot fail to cheer the friends of peace. Assum- ing an obligation to send the message at all, one could hardly have been drafted on lines less calculated to cause superfiu- ous offense. It is pity however, in view of the attitude of Spain that President Me Kinley could not have further postponed the message"
 The Morning Post says: "The studious vagueness of the message, except in that it plainly notifies Spain to choose between way and the abandonment of Cuba to such a future as may seem good to the United States, tells the world surprisingly little. The crisis arises from the determination of the American government to depart from Washington's precepts and to meddle in the affairs of foreign country"
 The Daily Chronicle says: President Me- Kinley has made many efforts for peace, but this is greater and bolder than any of them. His message calls a halt by throw ing upon congress the entire responsibility of making war. War is still inevitable un- less Spain makes concessions she has hith- erto shown no disposition to make"
 The Daily Graphic thinks the presidents message bound to lead to war; It says: Spain will. of course, resist intervention and war will result. But tine duty of the United States lies not less in the path marked out for her by the president"
 The Daily Mall and Telegraph will ad- init the message leaves the question of im- mediate war undetermined, but declares the eventuality of war uncertain. ''as 1t Is im- possible for Spain to accept the only con- ditions which will avert war"

SPANISH ADMIRAL DECLARES FOR WAR BeIittIes Our Navy and Says the Cuban Ports Are
 Mined.

Madrid, April 12.-El Heraldo de Madrid published an interview with Admiral Beranger, former minister of marine, in the course of which he expressed his confi- dence in the ability of the Spanish navy to win in the event of war with the United States"
 "There is no fear" said Admiral Be- ranger, "of our Cuban ports being exposed to night attack inasmuch as Havana, Cienfuegos, Nuevitas and Santiago de Cuba are defended by electric and automatic tor pedoes and with large radius of action.
 "The later Senor Canovas del Castillo who paid attention to these matters, de- cided in accordance with myself to send to Cuba 190 torpedoes which must have been placed in these harbors.
 q have already said that by sea we shall be victorious. I will give you my reasons. The first is the excellent discipline maintained on our ships; the second Is, that on board the American vessels as soon as firing is opened panic will set in since 1t Is common knowledge that their crews com prise men of every nationality. Fitted ship against ship, then, we have nothing to fear"
 Fl Imparcial. commenting on this inter- view, says:
 That those torpedoes should be sent in Case war shosld break out is very nat ural; but that as much should be admit ted at this moment constitutes two-fold imprudence; in the first place, because 1t warns the enemy, and the enemy being warned, it will do it's best to cripple those defenses; and, secondly, because the ilngoes availing themselves of the evidence afford ed by the minister of marine of the late Senor Canovas, will assert that one of the torpedoes he describes caused the Maine explosion"
