Rev. Myron Reed, the Denver minister
preached on the brevity of life Sunday
morning. He said;
Perhaps you have lived in village
where there was no railroad. If so, you
remember the manner Of the people. In
such a village people saunter. sit on dry
goods boxes, whittle, nobody is in haste
Business that might be done in four
hours distributes itself into 16 hours. In
my observation of a country town it takes
farmer and all his boys all day Satur-
day to buy pound of tea and jug Of
molasses, and more or less tobacco. The
strge waits, drives around the town and
picks up its passengers and then rolls
around to the postoftice and waits on tho
postmarter.
People used to live more years than we
do. but did not pack the years. There
are few men and only a few, that a train
will wait for. This railroad system OF
ours is a good deal of a democracy. The
public school, the street car and the
railroad mix people up.

on the time wasted in this city by failure

to-day is about 33 years and fraction.
That is short time to live. Not much
of that ought to be spent in gossip or
any idle words. l marvel that people
will read the poor books. Says Victor
Hugo: ut is easy to die, it is frightful

There are people who have read all
Mckinley has said, and very little of

The young men of the world have done

WASHINGTON, June 25.-If SDain is
foolhardy enough to send the Cadiz
feet through the Suez canal to attack
Dewey IN the Philippines, it is an
nounced on good authority that before
the last Spanish vessel has passed
through the canal an American squad
ron will be steaming at full speed across
the Atlantic straight for the coast of
Spain to bring the war home to the
Spanish people There is no doubt that
Dewey can take care of himself against
this Cadiz fleet, since his own sqadron
will be reinforced by ironclads long be-
fore Camara's ships sight the bay of
Manila, and he will have the shore bat
teries with him instead of against him
III the struggle.
But it has been concluded by the adj
mlnistration that nothing save the most
severe measures will suffice to bring the
Spanish people to a realizing sense of
the hopelessness of the continuance of
the present war, and even kindness, it
is held, will dictate such blow as that
it is proposed to administer if the Span
ish persist in this last project After
the fall of Santiago and the capture or
destruction of Cervera's squadron
Sampson will have an abundance of
vessels to spare for the task set for him.
Probably he will constitute the attack
ing fleet in two squadrons, the first a
flying squadron to be composed of the
swiftest yesselsiof the fleet, such as the
Columbia, Minneapolis, Harvard, Yale,
st. Louis, st. Paul, New Orleans and
such craft.
This will be followed under another
command, either Sampson or Schley, by
the battleships which Captain Clark's
experience with the Oregon has shown
can easily be counted on for the voyage
across the Atlantic. With the Iowa,
Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Texas, all battleships, supplementing
the New York and Brooklyn, armored
cruisers, and the less powerful but
speedy vessels of the flying squadron,
the Spanish coast would be speedily
swept clear of all commerce, all Span
ish shipping would be destroyed and
some of the best ports blockaded or
hombarded.
