The Best Man.

During the old days of Sweden
there were several best men, and
the term was applied in its full lit
eral sense. The duty of the best
men in those times was to defend
the groom and his prospective bride
from a rival, who, accompanied by
several retainers, was sure to ap-
pear while the wedding procession
was on it's way to church and maize
a stubborn fight for possession Of
the woman.
The Scandinavian warrior consid-
cred it beneath his dignity to court
a maiden's favor by gallantfy and
submission and therefore generally
preferred to wait until she was on
her way to be married to another
man, when the attempt was made
to carry her off by main strength.
It was then that the best men-if
they were the best men-came into
good play; hence the custom is still
preserved in "best" man of today.

From a combination of cir
cumstances, very fortunate for
this country in view of inter
national complications, gold
has been coming this way in
great amounts. The New York
banks have more than they
know what to do with, and it is
apparent that when the newt
able bond issue comes the gov
ernment will not have to bid
for gold in a cornered market
But it is not certain that there
is gold enough to supply the
demands of commerce and fl
nance. The bank of England
has less than the directors
think is prudent to carry. They
have gone to the extraordinary
step of advancing money on
bills of exchange without in.
terest, on the stipulation that
the bills must be paid in gold
Foregoing the interest is equiv.
alent to paying a premium fol

what his "consistory' called
1abor nonsense" DR.. Cakes
is an able thinker, an eloquent
speaker, and devoted to the
help of the under dog We
clip the following from the
Binghanpton, N. Y, Indepen-
dent: The laboring men OF
Kingston have prevailed upon
DR.. Cakes to remain there and
start a church of his own. The
members of the different unions
have volunteered to do the
work free. Last Sunday ser
vice was held in the opera
house, and will continue until
the new church is completed.
There will soon be two dis
tinct classes of preachers in
this cOuntry-snoDsa ana Nhr1s-
tians. We have some of both
kinds in Binghamton now,
but the 'narrow-heads' have
deposed one and are talking OF
firing another. The bigots
may succeed for a time, but in
the end the truth will prevail
and the honest ones will be re-
spected and the others de-
spised. Labor churches will
be more numerous in a few
years than they are today, and
then perhaps real Christianity
will accomplish what the sham
has failed to-the uplifting OF
mankind until it shall be done
on earth as it is in heaven y

WAR IS DECLARED.

War was declared in effect
ten days ago when President
Mckinley sent to congress his
message reciting that Spain
had forfeited by incapacity the
right to rule in Cuba, describ-
ing the intolerable conditions
there as an international scan
dial, insisting that we must es-
tablish peace on the island and
asking authority to use the
forces of the United States to
that end. "~
The house passed resolutions
forthwith affirming that the
Cubans have a right to their
independence and charging the
president to give the resolutions
effect. The senate would have
added that the republic Of
Cuba is already an independ-
ent state, but yielded to the
house after repeated conferences
during which the> lobbies re
sounded with patriotic song
amid s11ch fervor as the capital
has not seen these thirty years.
It doesn't matter much about
the language. Our recognition
or it's omission would not alter
the facts. Whether the Cuban
republic is a competent state
depends wholly on the Cubans.
On the other hand events will
compel alliance between us as
binding as the Cubans are ca
pable of entering upon.
The rest follows quickly. To
day determines what is already
decided. Unless Spain agrees
this noon to avacuate Cuba,
our forces start to drive them
out. Diplomatic relations have
been broken off, itself a token
of war. All the national pride
of Spain is reused, all the ma
tional spirit is invoked to resist
what they regard as unwar-
rantable invasion and aggres-
sion. ... .--.... r
In this country there are
hardly two opinions now,
Whether the president was for
ward or reluctant, whether this
should have been done long age
or not at all, there is but one
voice. In the name of liberty
the United States elects to put
forth it's sternest powers; may
the undertaking in no other
spirit be concluded.

How to Make Cold Cream.

To make cold cream take of oil of
almonds two ounces, spermaceti half
an ounce, white wax a dram. Melt
together and while cooling add two
ounces of rosewater, stirring until
cold. Cold cream may also be made
by this formula: Take four ounces of
unsalted butter, four ounces of white
wax and an ounce of vaseline: Melt
together and perfume with oil of
bergamot. The more cold creams
are stirred and beaten while cooling
the whittier they become.

EIxtracting the. Young Idea.

Two events Of one day convinced
young lady Of Piety Hill that the
infant mind is one of the most pro-
found mysteries of nature. It was
her first effort with a class of little
Sunday school children, and after
talking with them in her most i'm
pressive way for half an hour che
asked her precious charges what
they thought of their lessons. One
little girl, with golden hair and
great blue eyes such as artists love
to reproduce in themes divine, indi-

The second developed later in the
day. She told the little ones that
they must not let the weeds grow

Of the cause of alarm, the terrified
parents kept the telephone wires

three doctors, who were quickly
followed by others who had not

others were gravely consulting, one

story of the Sunday school lesson
and administered a dose of sugar
and water. Ten minutes later the

OILED CLOTHING.

The Waterproof Garments and the Ira
ditional Sou'wester of the Sailor.
A suit of oiled clothing such as is
commonly worn by sailors, consist
ing of a coat and pair of trousers,
costs from $3.50 to $3.50, according
to the q,aality. An oilskin sou west
er costs Is to so cents. There are
many makes of oiled clothing, in
GLIDING some whose trademarks
have been familiar for many years.
The oilskin coat hanging outside the
Quitting and supply stores in
streets along the water front has
long been familiar sign.
The life of an oilskin suit depends,
of course, primarily upon the wear
to which it is subjected, but largely
also upon the care taken of it. An
oilskin suit will last longer and keep
much better if hung up when not in
use than it will if rolled up, but it
may be that the user has no place to
hang it or that he keeps it rolled
up to be ready to carry with him at
any time, as pilot would do. In
dry ATTITUDES, where a sailor has less
occasion to wear them, his oilskins,
if cared for, would of course wear
longer than where they were often
worn. Usually the average life of
an oilskin suit worn by a sailor
would be about year.
When a sailors oilskins crack or
get worn SO that they are not water
proof, he oils them. They may need
oiling two or three times a year.
There are prepared oil dressings
made for this use and put up in lit
tie tin cans. Some sailors use oils of
one sort and another, and some sail
ors make mixture of their own for
a dressing. The sailor is likely to
have a preference for some one
brand of clothing and to stick to it,
and he has his own idea as to the
best dressing for it, but he carries
always with him dressing of some
sort. 1t is put on with brush, the
garments being hung up and painted
with it.
Oilskin coats worn aboard ship by
men before the mast are cut short, so
as not to interfere in any way with
their5movements. The coats worn by
the officers Of a ship are cut longer.
The officers in some cases wear rub
Der coats, but the oilskin is the coat
they commonly wear.
While oiled clothing and the ira
ditional sou 'wester are most famil-
iarly associated in the mind with
ideas of sailors and of the sea, they
are also, as matter of fact, very
largely and extensively worn upon
the land by truckmen and car driv.
ers and many other outdoor workers
and by sportsmen.-New York Sun

county except one was represented, while there was a large number of democrats from every portion of the county present
 The meetings was called for the purpose of deciding whether a primary or conyen- tion should be the manner of nominating county officers, and selecting delegates to the state and judicial conventions. A primary was elected by unanimous con- sent. The various beat committees are to act as managers of the primary. The date of the primary and county conven- ton will be April and 13 as recommended by the state executive committed The qualifications for participation in the pri. mary are the same as those recommended by the executive committee of the state.
 It was the most harmonious meeting held by the democrats of DeKalb county for many years, and the enthusiasm dis played presages democratic victory in Au- gust. M. R.

NO NEWS FROM UNDERWATER.
Must Have Encountered the Terrible Gale of
 Hateras

Norfolk, Va, March 5.-Absolutely noth- ing has been heard here to indicate that the tug Underwater, which left here Thursday for Havana towing the derrick Chief. is either saved or lost
 The sole reason for fear on her account is that she must certainly have encoun- tered the terrible Thursday night and Friday morning gale off Hatteras. How ever, the fact that no sign of her or her tow has been seen by any life saving crew between Cape Henry and Hatteras Is taken as very favorable sign, meaning that the tug must have outridden the gale. Had she been wrecked something would have been heard from her unless she foun- dered, which is very improbable.
 The impression at the Merritt Wrecking company's office here Is that she has of course had rough trip, but will show up at either Havana or Key West safe enough. She has not had time, under nor mal conditions, to make those ports. The local office knows nothing of the tugs crew or equipment except in general way as she merely stopped in here en route from New York and did not com up into the harbor.

CHAIRMAN DEANS,
Of the State Populst Committee, Expresses
 His Views-State PopuIst Convention.

Chairman G. B. Deans, of the populist state executive committee, who was a spectator at the populist meeting, held in the chancery court room yesterday, was seen by an Age-Heraid reporter after the meeting and said: q am pleased at the able manner in which Dr. Grove presided over the meeting He displayed great ability and tact and only his cool judg- ment prevented disagreement. As to the legality of the call I know nothing, but it is impossible for a convention to re- solve the party in this county or any other county into the democratic party.
 "A convention is servant of the people and can not say that party organ1za- ton shall disband so long as there are those who will stand by it.
 "Any man can leave the party at his wil but would not give convention oi meeting power to cut his throat. As far cials issued the call in an official man. ner
 If these alleged leaders want to go back to the democratic party there are plenty of others who will keep the party togeth- CT in Jefferson county"
 The state convention will be held i,s May but no place has yet been decided upon The place of holding the convention has been left with committee composed o1 Chairman Deans Dr. Grove, of this coun ty, and Frank Baltzell, of Montgomery.
 It is probable that the place of holding the convention will be announced in tht next two weeks.
 The Auditorium has been suggested ana it is probable that If some efforts were made the convention would be held here.
