has decided in the event of war with
Spain, to present to the United States
Government a warship to cost S., ,000, 600.
This interesting information comes from
a most responsible source, with the ex-
PLANTATION that Mr.. Vanderbilt, impressed
with the justice of the nations attitude
in the present crisis, believed this to be
the most direct and practical manner in
which he could be of service to his coun-
try.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, il his decision is as
represented, has resolved to follow in the
footsteps of his grandfather, Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who, during the
Civil War, presented to the Federal Gov
ernment the large steamship Vanderbilt,
which was valued at 81, 100000

An Easter Sorrow.

The Easter bells ring clear and sweet;
To church the onward crowd is vending
sit and gaze into the street,
My thoughts another way are tending.
The happy chimes, the sunshine fair,
The jocund pilgrims make me nervous.
And precious little do | care
Who hears or misses Easter service.
Deep disappointment makes me frown-
I've even wasted tears upon 1t!
That horrd milliner, downtown,
Forgot to send my Easter bonnet.

Washington, Juno 2.-Senator Hans
brough today received notice from:
Land Commissioner Hermann that the
lands embraced in the Turtle Mountain.
forest reserve of North Dakota
has been opened to settlement and
entry under the public land laws.
This reserve vas created by President
Cleveland's order of May 4, 1892, and
Senator Hansbrough has been working
for a revocation of tho order for the
last two years. It has been demon
strated that the reserve is of no practi-
cal value az a forest reserve and a
number of settlers have located and
made improvements there. Land
Commissioner Hermann notified the
register and receiver of the land office
at Devils Lake by letter to accept
entries for these lands, SO that it will
be three or four days before the order
can go into effect. Senator Hans
brough is much gratified at the success
of his efforts.
