Courtship by Music.

1.-TWO OF the Spanish naval officers
confined at Annapolis have put
in their spare time to advant-
age. having succeeded in capturing the
hands and hearts Of two American
girls. They could tall very little Eng
lish and the girls could talk no Spanish.
But love finds n way. II found IT this
time in guitars and pianos. The ofi-
GERS would pick their guitars and sing
Spanish love ballads. and the girls IN
turn would pound the piano and
MARBLE the latest and most touching
coon songs. The words were unintel-
ligible as between the parties OF the
first part and second part, but the
meaning was plain. Every afternoon
for a month there was n musical con-
cert OF this kind, and finally at one
grand concer OF the powers the Span

The Annapolis correspondents Of the
New York papers. from whose reports

details and we are left in doubt
whether the girls responded with
aaagio, andante, pianissimo, staccato,
pIzzicato, scherEo. caprecioso, cres-
cendc, allegro or spiritoso effects;
whether they essayed a bravurs or
went on into a s~olfeggio. It seems
clear, however. that the Spanish over
lures struck a responsive and har-
monious chord and that presently there
was an obhliCato performance Of uni
sonant i]sotouic and %mellinuous homo
phony. In other words. the pro-
gramme concluded with a couple OF
engagements of an entirely different
character from the one the Spanish
officers ran up against when they
steamed out of Santiago harbor. 4

there will be two American brides in

not to go TO war with Spain, and ever
since the country declined TO take his

American alliance. To Norton's mind
the war has unsettled h foundations
of the republic and violated the nations

Dealing with the Sultan.

From the washington Star.
The issue between this country and Tur-
key is as 10 whether our moral case,
which Is as good as can be, is at the same
time legally strong. From the point OF
view OF national or International right
eousness the United States are assuredly
justified In insisting upon their demands
regardless of the sultan's disclaimer or
responsibility and in going 70 the extreme
limit Of their power to enforce their
claims. IL would be a wholesome specta-
Gle for the powers II after sweeping Spain
out Of this hemisphere the American re-
public were to do Europe the favor OF

Recognizing the Republic.

From the Pittsburg Times.
At last the powers OF Europe have con-
coded that the United states is one OF the
overs of the world. and IL is announced
that at an early date the republic will be
recognized by the other six powers as a
seventh world power. Official recognition
will not count for much. for every man OF
perception has long known that the Uni
ted States were about the first OF the
rank. But Il does no hurt for the nations
Of Europe TO confess semi-oficiany that
they have got their eyes open.

some young man on horseback halted
at a place in Westchester county, New
York, where the road to Manhattan
Island divided. The horseman knew
that if he chose the right hand road,
he would save time but run great risk,
for he was a British officer, and the
right road was infested with vigilant
American partiSans. So he turned to
the left, hoping for a safer, if longer

RaIi-SaIOOns and Other Institu-
tiOns Are Mentioned.

Sixteen persons, interested enough in
the Municipal Ownership league 10 at
tend a meeting of the organization
gathered IN one Of the rooms at Assem-
bly, hall last evening.
Scott Macdonald was chosen chair
man and A. w. Craighead, secretary,
and before adjournment committee Of
five, consisting of j. II. Steiner, Louis
Nash, j. p. Brown, John r. Clapp and
y. w. Craighead, was appointed to
draft q. constitution and bylaws to be
presented at q meeting to be held next
Wednesday evening.
j. r. Steiner spoke on the subject Of
unjust taxation for two hours and in
the couse of his remarks said:
Taxes We're levied in st. Paul con-
trary to the statutes. The law provid-
ed that taxes should be levied equally
but the authorities had comedy
ed plan to escape the provisions If
taxes were assessed equal the rate in
st. Paul would be SIX instead of twenty
one mills.
The records showed that the jobbers
and department stores carried stocks
valued at $4,000, 600 while they were
assessed only 81. 532 ,2iO, and carried in
surance amounting 20 $9,73OG00.
The state board of equalization had
raised the assessment on saloon men
so per cent and on merchants 10 per
cent. The assessment had been raised
by the county officials on some of each
class and not on others.
Politics had brought about this state
of affairs and there was a crying need
for an organization to bring relief to
the merchant and small taxpayer. A
number of people in st. Paul cared not
a whit what party was in power so long
as they could control the officers Of the
county who took c1re of the taxes.
He cited an instance where a saloon
man had been originally assessed $780,
and then the assessment was lowered
to $185. and after the state board had
ordered the asse ssmert on this class of
business men raised so per cent the
amount had been raised to $3.50
This, the speaker said, showed that
the county officials We're not enforcing
the law fairly and justly.
John r. Clapp said he had been in
formed at the county auditors Office
that the raise of 30 per cent on saloon
men ordered by the state board had
been added. A visit to the county
tICasurers office showed that it had
been done in some cases and not in
others. He favored an investigation
being made and the Indictment of the
officials who had not complied with the
law.
