man, ana y. Lyon secretary.
Charles Hall, of the Granite Co.. said
that the company believed it would
be an advantage to both the city.
and the concern to move. The cost
Of moving he estimated at $1,000.
What they desired was to have the.
citizens raise the amount necessary
to put UP their shed on the West: side
$500. The concern employs
skilled workmen, not one Of whom
receives less than IS a day. They
expected to double the force il O.

ite, Mr.. Hall said, was as good as
any in the United States, and had
no superior. The city Of Barre, Yer

good results which would come from
the estab blishment .of the industry
here. Dr. Roberts followed IL the
same etrain, and G. A. Lind dbergh
and others spoke in favor Of assist
aHce. The meeting then passed q
motion approving the plan to aid
the company, and also a motion
that q soliciting committee Of three
be appointed. The chairman ap-
pointed Messrs. Medved, r oberts
and Barney Burton. 8

The men comprising the company
are thoroughly reliable and trust-

what the removal OF the plant to
Little Falls will be Of great benefit
to the city.

In her speech from the throne yester-
day. carefully prepared for her by the
cunning Saeasta. Queen Christina an
nounced that her royal mind Was filled
with grave preoccupations.' and
among other things asked the following
question:
Is il possible that an outrage j- 10 hc com
n,itted and that the efforts OF his holiness. our
own right and the moderation which VIC have dis
PLAYED. and the express wishes Of the Cuban peo-
pie viii not be able to stop passions which have
been unclaimed against Spain2
Considering the latitude Of Madrid
this is decidedly cool BY today her
majesty has had an opportunity 10 read
the polite request of the American Con-
gress and people, and is in an excellent
situation To answer her own question.
She is completely aware now that the
Outrage" to which she SO feelingly
refers. really is about to be committed
notwithstanding the moderation"
which her kind and Christian agents
and servants i'm Cuba have ever dis
played toward their erring brethren
and sisters. the natives OF that Ever
Faithful Isle"
There is a bit of news i'm the query
of Christina which would strike one
as humorous were the subject not so
deeply laden with tears and shrieks Of
murdered men and outraged girls
She insinuates that the outrage" pro-
posed by America is against the ex-
press wish of the Cuban people Left
to themselves. according TO the royal
theory. they would be on their knees
praying for and blessing the kind lady
whose delegate, Weyler, deliberately
undertook their determination: whose
gallant officers and soldiers sold little
Cuban girls 10 a life OF shame at pub
Iic auction in the market place of Pinar
del Rio. and amused themselves by
holding ten little babies up by the legs
and slicing them in half with their ma
chetes before the eyes of their wretched
mothers in the main street Of Artemisa
Oh. yes, No doubt ii is "the express
wish of the Cuban people" that we
should not interfere to stop such dis
plays of Spanish moderation" It
would have been we'll If Christina and
the Pope had done SO couple OF years

ago. In that case the present situation
of affairs would not have existed. Wey-
lev would not have been able to write
the blacklist page of human hellishness
in the annals of mankind. and the
Maine massacre would not have oc-
CURED. Then the Cuban people might
have been willing to allow Spain to re-
tain a nominal suzerainty over their
country.
It is too late now. Ii is pathetic IN
deed to see how the tender heart OF the
Queen Regent is touched at the thought
that her boy may lose his throne she
could bear the sight of Weyler's incon-
ceiVable atrocities without much dis
comfort. and that is where she and the
governing class Of her kingdom made a
fatal mistake. The great heart of the
American people has been not only
touched. but filed with dynamite. by
the horrors Of Spanish persecution in
Cuba. while they do not care what the
Duke II Wellington used TO call "a tup-
penny damn" FOR the son Of one OF lsa-
nella's nlecitimates. or his blood and
dirt-bespatterod throne. What they
do care FOR is To see that neither he
nor any other Spanish ruler shall ever
again boast Of foot OF ground in the
Western Hemisphere. and their
grounds for this determination are so
satisfactory to themselves that there
are ten million hghuing men and billions
of treasure ready to carry it out against
an the rest Of the world should that be
necessary.

The seven Wonders of the World.

(From the Century,
We have no indication of the existence
of a cycle of seven wonders until about
the end of the second century, B. G..
Then appears in an epigram of Antipater
of S:don, an enumeration of seven great
works, which prove to be the very ones
later appearing as the seven wonders.
They are: %, the Walls of Babylon: (2l.
the Statue of Zeus at Olympia; 90. the
Hanging Gardens of Semirams at Baby

Pyramids of Memphis: (6). the MausO-

Diana (Artemis) at Ephesus. Within the

lusion to the septem opera. betrays that

1t is quite beyond the range Of prob

from the throne is sufficient answer.

Spain to arms. We are unable 10 see

suasion contained i'm a display Of the

friends stiu assert that il is a mission

for the Maine massacre that he is en-
tering upon.
We DO not believe a word Of it, The

coal for the Spanish fleet at Cape Verde

have found themselves short. and have
been compelled to steam away with their
