Washington, Aug. Io-The papers are
from reliable sources stating that Spain
does not accept Americas terms of
peace. The conference of the president
and several cabinet members, which
lasted until 1890 last night. was not
made public. Secretary Days failure to
announce the substance of the answer to
the United States is regarded as an in
dication that it contains serious and per.
haps fatal objections to acceptance by
America.

HE CLOSING D0yS
PYTHIAN DAY.

The Knights and Ladies' are in Full At
teudance To-day.
Boulder day was one of the most de-
liehtful events of the assembly. From
2:3o to E p. N. the Boulder ladies held
reception in the c. L. S. c. tent which
was beautifully decorated for the occa.
sion. The we'll known courtesy and
hospitality of the Boulder ladies insures
a delightful social event wherever they
are interested and their reception was
one of the most informally pleasant af.
fairs Of the session. At 4p. m. in the
Woman's Council Mrs. o. c. Charlton of
Waco, Texas, gave an eloquent talk on
Birds IN Millinery" Mrs. Charlton is
an earnest defender and protector Of our
birds and deplored theft wholesale
slaughter. Mrs Charlton gave statistics
to prove the deadly work now in progress
but said that she believed it was chiefly
thoughtlessness on the part of the wo-
men. Her earnest appeal aroused such
enthusiasm on the part of the council
that Mrs. Pennybaker offered the fol-
lowing resolutions which were accepted
by unanimous rising vote:
Resolved, That we deplore the use OF
birds in millinery, we condemn their
use as ornaments and pledge ourselves
to refrain from wearing birds stuffed or
manufactured as articles Of decoration.
Miss Barrett suggested the substitution
of insects for millinery decoration which
novel idea was received with so much
applause that 1t is quite possible that the
Chautauqua ladies may be seen in the
future with halo of mosquitoes or a
band of beetles decorating their classic
head gear.
The Round Table discussed the eth.
les of Amusement" and many new and
clever ideas along that line were brought
out. In the evening the Funny Phases
of Art and Literature" were given in the
auditorium and much sport was caused
by the guessing of the title of the pictor-
ial enigmas.
One of the finest exhibits of the season
is the art exhibit of Professor Cox and
Miss Vanderpoel in the c. L. S. c. tent.
They give an extensive exhibit OF their
work and the work of their classes which
is considered remarkably fine by the art
critics. In the beginners classes the
showing of their five weeks drill is won
derfully good and they have some very
clever studies to show as the result of
their mountain summers work.
Today is "Pythian Day" and crowds
from outlying towns are coming in with
festivlsy intent. The Pythian address
will he given by w. A, Davis, past grand
chancellor of Denver. DR.. Homer T.
Wilson will give one of his witty speech
es on "Half an Hour with the Goat"
The Rathbone sisters will give a re-
ception from 4 to p. m. and there will
be fine miscellaneous program in the
evening.
DR.. Homer Wilson announced today
with deep feeling, that at the close of
the assembly. he and Mrs. Wilson will
take bridal tour. The Chautauquans
all applauded and are gathering up rice
and old shoes in preparation for the
event.
At the close of the assembly, Mrs. ].
Otis HUFF, the popular contralto of the
assembly, leaves for an extended trip
abroad. where she will study under the
direction of Walker in London.

A Quaint Bit of Flattery,

A very great military authority said:
There are no bad regiments, but only
bad colonels." There is abundant proof
that Napoleon's belief is shared by the
rank and file of soldiers, but this fact
could not be more happily illustrated
than by the following story, taken from
the London illustrated News, Of a
quaint compliment paid to the German
crown prince, afterward Emperor Fred
erick:
After the battles of Weissenburg and
Worth, which he had won, the crown
prince was sauntering alone one even
ing past barn occupied by party Of
Wurtenberg troops. Hearing some
thing like stump oratory going on, the
prince opened the door and looked in.
Every one rose.
"Oh, sit down! I'm sorry to disturb.
dare say there's room for me to do the
same" said the prince. Pray, who
was making speech?"
All eyes were turned on sergeant,
whose very intelligent countenance
looked, however, sorely puzzled when
the commander in-chief asked:
"And what were you talking about?"
Quickly recovering his presence Of
mind, the sergeant confessed:
well, of course, we were talking Of
our victories, and I was just explain
ing to these young men how, four
