Favorable weather for ten days past

Roadway in corn working, which was
previously very much retarded by rains'
With corn to work, clover to cut and
wheat harvest near at hand. there is no

Some, however, take occasion to have a
chit chat on the church yards, Sunday
mornings, which is not very good
preparation for taking in and feeding
upon the Gospel.
DR.. McElwee has been, by the
session OF his church, granted the priyi-
e &c of emitting any rail- of the regular
services, during the extreme illness Of
his vile but filled his pulpit on yester-
day as usual, giving to an attentive
congregation a sermon full CT the very
essence of the Gospel.
Mrs. McElwee's friends were for q
time encouraged to think that there
was decided change for the better,
but, recently, her condition is not
thought to be so favorable. Any i'm
provement in her case is hailed with
pleasure by anxious friends, and the
RES grafton OF her health woul be q
source Of universal rejoicing.

OUR FLAG IN CUBA.

The invasion of Cuba by the Ameri-
can forces began Saturday. Six hun
dred marines have pitched their tents
about The smoking ruins of the outer
Notifications of Guantanamo, and the
Stars and Stripes, for the first time
float from a Spanish flagstaff in Cuba.
To Captain Clark and the battleship
Oregon belongs the honor OF accom-
plishing the first successful landing OF
the war.
Forty marines from the battleship
went ashore and occupied the left
emit ance Of the bay, until the troop
ship Panther arrived, with 600 ma
rines. These under command OF Lieu
tenant Colonel r. W. Huntington, az
rived at 3 o'clock, and within half an
hour they had burned the buildings Of
the Spanish camp, and had set fire to
the miserable little village which
crouched on the beach under the hill
top Of Guantanamo.
The whole operation of silencing the
guns andIanding the forces was as easy
as placing Sunday-school picnic. The
Marblehead, backed by the Vixen and
Dolphin, opened fire on tie earth
works Friday. The shore to the right
Of the entrance was lined with guns
and rihe-pits, but the Spaniards
stampeded after firing few rounds.
The main fort lies within the city
limits and is still to be reduced, but it
is not in difficult position, and the
American officers say it can be taken in
fifteen minutes, when desired.
SPANISH sKKDADDLING.
No attempt was made to land until
the Oregon steamed in early Friday.
Captain Clark Immediately sent
forty marines ashore, and twenty from
the Marblehead followed. They found
evidence of a very hasty departure by
the Spaniards. Watches, hammocks,
and ammunition were scattered about
the earth works, and a Spanish flag
was found in one Of the rifle pits
The little detachment of marines
held the place until the Panther ar
rived, when they were recalled, and
and the work of Decentralization began.
The first boat load had scarcely landed
when the village burst into flames.
COMPANY B, under Lieutenant Hall,
was the first ashore, and without the
loss of moment the colum started up
the steep, rockp hillside of the earth
works. For an hour the broad column
of marines filed up the narrow path,
eventually taking up position at the
top OF the hill.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is not surprising that Blanco
should nav. issued an order banishing
all foreign newspaper correspondents
from Cuba; he doesn't wish the out
side world to know how badly off he is
The Jack Astor Battery is getting
almost as much advertising as Teddy s
trough riders"
That Wall street regiment seems to
have been like great many other
things started in that locality--a
fake.
He ought to be, and probably will
be Captain Hobson when be gets out
of that Spanish prison.
One of the best things taught in our
navy is to hit what is shot at.
The war-revenue bill provides for
bonds, owing to division of the Dem
ocrats IN the Senate, just as Mr.. Nc
Kinley wanted it to do.
If Congress doesn't look out some
very questionable legislation will be put
through under the "war measure"
label,
We trust that no Democrat will vote
for the adjournment OF Congress until
the war has closed and the terms OF
peace been approvedby Congress. 10
do 80 would be to make serious
mistake.
Ex-senator Wolcoit is unduly sensitive
over any reference to the failure OF the
Bimetallic Commission s visit to Europe
He couldn't help the inevitable and
nobody holds him responsible, unless
it be himself.

PRAISE FOR POLICEMEN.
Major Sylvester Pleased With Work
Recently Done.

Major Richard Sylvester superintendent
of police. has issued the following circu-
lar to the members of the police force,
commencing them for their prompt ac-
ton at the time of the escape of Muir
derer Powell.
The major has lately concluded an in
yestigation of the alleged carelessness
exhibited by the officers OF the Sixth
precinct the direct result of which has
not been made public. but from the fact
that no mention of IL is made in the lat
est circular, it is presumed that the in
quiry exonerated the policemen on duty
at the station The circular Is as fol-
lows:
1T is pleasant to note the general ac-
tivity and interest on the part of the Off
GERS and the individual members of the
force in time of emergency. as was evil
denced in the case of Eugene. alias
James. Powell. wanted for murder.
The superintendent desires to express
the departments appreciation of the in
telligent cooperation Oh the part of the
members of the force on that occasion.
| and he hopes that the same may obtain at
all times. especially when emergency
cases arise in the future.
THE successful work at that time shows
| what can be done by limited force at
| a time when il has other work of various
| kinds to perform.
| Private j. W. Mccormick. of the Eighth
| precinct deserves speciaf mention for his
| zealousness in pursuing the murderer to
capture and Private Charles Ward, of the
| Fifth precinct, is likewise commended for

THE FLEMING-sAKs CASE.
Interesting Condition of Affairs De-
veIoped I'm Court

rather unusual condition of affairs
was developed in Circuit Court No. J.
Justice Cole presiding, this morning, when
the case of William H. Fleming against
Saks & Co. was called.
Lawyer Frisby. who appeared for the
plaintiff, announced that he was not ready
to proceed with the hearing because of the
absence of his client. Justice Cole asked
where the complainant was and why he
was not present. TO which Attorney Fris-
by replied that his client was working for
Saks & Co. and could not spare the time
10 come
The court said il was rather unusual
condition of circumstances for a man in
the employ of another TO be suing him
for damages, but being assured that this
is nevertheless a fact allowed the case
TO be passed.
The facts in the case are. as stated by
Frisby. that Saks & Co insure all their
employees in an accident insurance COM
pany. and Fleming is among those insur-
ed. Some time ago Fleming was injured
while at work in the Saks store and sued
the company for $500 damages before Jus
tice of the Peace Mills. He obtained judg-
ment. and the matter Is now brought to
the Supreme Court of the District of Co.

impossible for the Saks company to col
lect from me accident company without
judgment having first been obtained

WIDOW GETS HER PROPERTY.
Justice Coles Warming To Justices
of the Peace.

of the Peace.
The opinion Of Justice Cole, given yes
terday in the case of Cannatello against
Raimondi viii no doubt have the effect
of making justices Of the peace go slow
in their executing judgments against
widows, especially If their whole estate
consists of a few pieces of wearing ap-
parel. bed clothing, and some cooking
utensils. Justice Cole, in dismissing the
case. said I'm effect that the law which
permitted a constable to virtually turn
widow out of doors for the purpose of col
lecting a judgment such as was rendered
against Widow Raimondi is a horrible one
and he would find it a hard thing to en-
force It.
The case came up before Justice Cole
in Circuit Court No. ] yesterday on an
appeal from Justice of the Peace l.. G..
Strider. who had rendered judgment for
$50 against Mrs. Ninciniz Raimondi for
assaulting the child of Mrs. Cannatello.
Mrs. Raimondi was not able to pay the
amount of the judgment and execution
was issued against her.
The constable who served the process
found nothing at the home of Mrs. Raj
mondi but a few household articles, such
as are mentioned above. The constable
levied upon all he found and left the poor
woman with an empty house. The con-
stable afterwards stated that he had
taken even some of the widows under
clothing, blankets. and pillows.
At the trial before Justice of the Peace
strider Mrs Raimondi was represented
by Campbell Darlington and Irving Will
hanson, who procured bond for her and
carried the matter to the Supreme Court
OF the District Of Columbia. When JUS
tice Cole heard Mrs. Raimondis state
ment and that OF some other witnesses he
instructed the jury 10 return a verdict
for The defendant appellant, Mrs. Raj
mondi.

Poor Patients.
The Sibley Memorial Hospital at the

operations known to surgery were per-
formed there successfully and great
many patients were treated there.
