A correspondent of the Kansas City
Star, who was on the battleship New
York during the bonn mberdment of Ma
tanzas, gives the following description
of the effect on a vessel: When ten
thousand ton ship, usually as steady as
q rock, shakes and trembles like a frigh-
tened child, when firmly fitted bolts
start from their sockets and window
panes and woodwork are shattered !;
when the oar peals p from port to star
board and you feel your feet leaving the
deck and your glasses jumping around
your forehead, while binding, black.
ening smoke hides everything from
sight, then it is thatyou realize the ter
rible power Of a modern warship's bat

Both silver and gold abound in the
mountains of Arizona. The people OF
this territory stand for the fullest pos
sible use of both metals. There are
other and greater reason than that sill
yer is an Arizona product. There is not
enough gold in existence to make suf-
flcient money with which to do busi-
ness, Every time one who is indus
trious grows short of cash he is remind
ed of the fact most forcibly. Now that
war is on it is good opportunity to re-
turn to the full use of the money of the
plain people -Phenix Enterprise.

The evident intention of the United
States to hold the Philippine Islands
and possibly occupy the Ladrone and
Caroline Islands, is not viewed with
competency by some of the European
powers. Complications may yet arise
which will force other powers to come
to the aid of Spain. The Paris Temps
publishes dispatch from Madrid in
which it is said the communications
exchanged by high officials at Madrid,
Vienna and Berlin, do not treat entire
" Of peace, but that san important
view of the situation may arise out of
Germany's hostility to the development
of American Intervention in the Phil
| lippine Islands. AS the Spanish cabi-
net does not consider that the moment
has arrived to discuss peace, the war
party and press interpret the nterna-
tional pour parlours as an indication of
an und Outstanding and com bination pos
sibly leading to European cooperation
against the United States"

Senator Cannon, of Illinois, in speak
ing to the war revenue bill on the 10th
instant, used the following pointed Ian
guage. He criticised the conference re-
port and said "There was danger that
in freeing the Cubans our people would
be enslaved He thought he saw in the
progress of the war, so far as it had
gone, project of imperialism calcu-
lated to surprise tho civilized world.
He contended that this was not the
original aim of the war, and that on
this account, if for no other, opposition
was justifable. Discussing the policy

said that, while he did not want to be

Everything pertaining to Cuba is of
interest at this time. Cuba is much
larger than popularity supposed, for it
is 476 miles long and has width that
varies from 20 to 235 miles, averaging
80 miles. The total area of Cuba, in
cluding its adjacent islets is 1873
square miles, or about the same size as
New York state. Although mountain
Gus in the interior, much of the coast
line is low and fat, and difficult Of ap-

The Game of Life.

Thisli is like game of cards,
Which mortals have to learn;
Each shufies, cuts and deals the pack,
And'each a trump dothturn.
Some bring high card to the top,
And some dohring a lcwl
Some hold hand quite full of trumps,
And some but few can show.
In playing, some tn, ow out their trumps,
Their winning cards to save
Same play the king, some play the deuce,
But many play the lxnave;
Some play for money, some for love,
Some play for worldly fame;
But not until all hands are played
Can any count his game.
When hearts al 9 trumps we play for love.
And pleasure rules the hour;
No thought of sorrow checks our joys
In beauty's rosy bower.
We laugh we dance, sweet verses write.
Our cards at random play,
And while the heart remains on top
Our life's Holiday.
When diamonds chance to rule the pack.
Inc players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
By players, young and old,
Each one, intent upon the game,
Doth watch with eager ere
That he may see his neighbor's cards
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps look out for war
| On ocean and on land:
For awful deeds of blood are done
/ When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead of gold,
And dogs of war are freed;
/ And sad it is for any land
When clubs are in the lead.
Last game of all is when the spade
Isturned by hand of time.
He waits the end of players games
! ln'every age and cline;
No matter how much each one wins,
Or how much each one saves
! The spade will reckon up tho game
And dig the players graves.

BIG STOVE TRUST FORMED
1t Embraces Leading Factories in the United
States,
Capital Is $4,000, ,OOO-Its Object is to
Raise Price on All Heating
Appliances.

CHICAGO, February s.-The Tribune
says: stove trust is the latest addition
to the combinatic MS of manufa cturing in
terests. According to Chicago men, who
say they have correct information. the in
fant was born Monday at Detroit, Mich,
and it already represents $4,000, 600 of in
vested capital.
The primary aim of the promoters, 1t Is
said, is to raise prices on all kinds of cast
stoves, ranges. heaters, etc. 1t is said the
advance will take effect within sixty days,
and Il e first jump will be at least 20 per
cent. The concerns which are said to have
gone in as charter members are the Mich
isan Stove Company. Detroit Stove Com
pany, Peninsular Stove Company Buck
Stove Company, Union stove works, Phil
lips & Clark Company.
OF these, it is said the Michigan Company
is the largest in the country, if not IN the
world. The Detroit and Peninsular are
close competitors for second place, and
with these remaining in the list represent
the largest part of the stove manufacturing
business of the country, and for several
years have dictated prices and controlled
the trade.

MAY RETAIN THEIR PAPERS.
Rules Regarding POstmnsters Modi-
fled by Mr.. Heath.

The embargo against newspaper men con-
tinuing their vocation while serving the
government as postmasters has been
raised, and hereafter, SO long as the public
service does not suffer, editors and cor
respondents generally who have been for
tunate enough to secure positions as post
masters will not be required to still their
pens during their term of office.
This is briefly the ruling of Mr. Perry
Heath, the first assistant postmaster gen
eral TO whom numerous inquiries of late
have been addressed cpon this subject
1t was during the Cleveland admins ira
lon that the order went forth that no edi-
TOR or newspaper man should. while serv-
ing the government as its postmaster, con-
unue his editorship or connection with a
Newspaper This rule provoked a protest
at the time. but it was insisted upon and
enforced. For some time MIR. Heath has
recognized the injustice of this. He takes
The ground that the man who gives up his
vocation OF journalist to enter the pNblic
service does so with the determine ton of
returning to it after his term of service
has expired, and 1t is unjust to deprive a
man OF his property while serving The gov
e-nment, which is virtually what the re-
strlcton would do. In a recent letter to an
litouirinS editor-post ostmaster, Mr.. Heath says
it might be the better part of discretion
not to be the editor, but if the papar is
conducted in clean, STRAIGHTFORWARD rd
manner, and the Post Office Department
receive at the same time good, attentive
service acceptable to a majority of the
people, there is no reason Why the editor
nalistic career.
This ruling will be especially welcome to
number of third and fourth-class post
masters throughout the country, who have
nttle weekly papers, which they are loath
to suspend during their short terms as
pCStmasterS.

DRAWING TWO PENSIONS.
The Charge Brought Against Benz

Benjamin Dowart, alias Benjamin Daw-
art, of Company c, 23d United States IT.
fantry. and of Company D. 18th United
States Infantry has, according to the rec
ords of the pension Office, been drawing
two pensions since 1889. Yesterday he was
arrested under a charge of filing false
claims, and admitted to the pension Office
officials his guilt. Dowart was until re-
Gently dOmiciled at the Soldiers Home in
this city, where he was transferred from
Hampton. According to the statement Of
the supervising examiner to a reporter of
The Star, Dowart has been drawing two
pensions since 1889. His first pension for
services in the 23d United States Infantry
was granted in 1875. and since that time
he has been draw ing a pension for that
service of so per month. In 1889 he was
granted a pension for services in the 18th
United States Infantry of s17 per month
and since that time has been regularly
drawing both pensions. One was drawn
from the San francisco agency, while the
other came from the PHILADELPHIA Ac-
ccrding to the evidence adduced, Dowart' 8
practice was to uraw one pension AMI have
one notary subscribe to it, and then take
the other certificate and have different
notary certify to his signature In this
way he kept up the deception. Some time
ago he made the fatal mistake of appIying
for an increase. In the investigation which
followed the duplication was discovered
and the case was heard before United
States Commissioner Mills today and the
prisoner bound over in $1,000 bonds to
await the action of the grand jury.

there were 1900 persons in that section,
more persons, in fact, than in all Mt.

some road should come to them from the

The Metropolitan Railway Company's pro-

18th street to Lydecker avenue was then
discussed. DR.. Hammond opposed the road
using 18th street. He said he owned prop
erty at the corner OF 18th and Princeton
streets, which would be damaged by the
extension. The street was but forty feet
wide, not wide enough for two railway
tracks. He suggested the use of Sherman
avenue, which is parallel to 18th street, and
which would take the line one square fur
ther from proximity to the l4th street line.
He said hes had moved to his present loca-
uon TO escape street railways, and he did
not want the line in front of his property
Mr.. M. A. Ballinger of the Columbia
