Washington. July 12.-Captain Cooper,
superintendent of the naval academy at
Annapolis. spent some time with Secre-
tary Long yesterday going over the
question OF caring for the Spanish naval
prisoners. including Admiral Cervera-
who are to be quartered at the academy.
A complete understanding was reached
by which the Spanish officers Will re-
ceive every consideration consistent
with their rank Captain Cooper stated
that II he were TO remain at the academy
he would invite Admiral Cervera into
his own house, but as he is about to go
TO another duty he could not extend this
courtesy to the defeated admiral. While
relieving the prisoners from all undue
humiliation there will be no disposition
TO bestow such courtesy upon them as
to place them in the light of hero
martyrs.

Last Sunday morning, Februa-
ry 18th, Mrs. Amy Engle, wife of
Christian Engle, departed this life
at the advanced age of nearly so
years, after an illness of several
years.
She was born in May, 1913, at
Greenboro, Pennsylvania, and came
to this place with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Hattley, in 1888.
In 1910 she was married to Chris
tan Engle, who survives her, their
married life having extended over a
period of IS years.
Mrs. Engle was kind hearted
woman and no one in want ever
appealed to her in vain for aid.
She was a good neighbor, and one
of the kindest and most indulgent
of mothers, and lavished upon her
children an affection equaled by
few. She was prominently domes-
trio in character and habits. pre-
ferring home and home duties to
everything else.
Her sons, Ben Engle and P. H.
Eugle, aod her daughters, Mrs.
John Riggle. Mrs. r. B. F. Martin
and Mrs. w. H. HUH survive, and
are citizens of this community, and
to them and the aged husband we
extend sympathy in their sorrow.

UNIQUE ILLICIT STILL


WEIGH, w. Va, Feb. 22.-Sun-
day revenue officers captured very
unique illicit still about two miles
west of Norton, near here. The
still was located in the center of the
field and was under the ground.
When the field was cleared about
two years ago a lot of brush and
logs had been thrown in little
hollow and under this brush and
logs it was that the moonshiners
had dug out a room sixteen feet
square and were operating fine
copper still when captured by the
revenue officers The place was in
full view Of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, and was only two
hundred yards distant from the
residence OF Dave Nichles.
The still belonged to and was oper-
ated by Billy O'Neill, who made
his home at Nichles'.c The officers
had suspected for some time that
there was a still in this immediate
vicinity, and set watch on Mich
les house. A woman was seen 60
ing into the brush pile with load
of wood, and then it was concluded

officers crawled into the still during
the night and waited until daylight,
when O'Neill came in. He said no
one except himself was connected
in the operation of the still. It is
not known how long the still had
been in operation, but it is sup
