The aCabinet Members Wife,

The authorship of the muchdiscussed
elmer Experiences of a Cabinet Mem
ber's Wife," printed in The Ladies, Home
Journal, will be revealed in the June issue
of that magazine, when the name of Anna
Faiquhar will appear as the author. 1t is
surmised that the domestic experiences
described in these letters we're those of
Mrs. w. H. H. Miller, wife of the Attor-
ney- General in President Harrison's
Cabinet, since Miss Farquhar is known to
be a personal friend of the Miller family,
and to have spent considerable time with
them in Washington during their official
residence there. The author of these
letters was born and raised in Indian
apolis, in neighborly relations with the
Harrison and Miller families, but for ten
years past she has lived studious pro-
fessional life in New York, London and
Boston. She is now connected with the
editorial staff of The Boston Transcript

Death of Mrs. T. K. Hall.

On Tuesday morning Mrs. 7. K. Hall,
died at her home at North Tazewell. She
had been sick for about two days and her
death was sudden and unexpected, few
persons in the community having
even heard of her illness. The cause of
her death, we are informed, was heart
trouble. The deceased was fifty seven years
old and most estimable Christian wom-
an. She was member Of the Baptist
church and greatly beloved by "a large circle
of friends and relatives She is survived
by her husband, three sons, Mr.. Geo. P.
Hall and Drs. Irb and Robert Hall, and
two daughters, Mrs. Robert Shelton and
Miss May Hail. On Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock funeral services were held in
the church at North Tazewell, conducted
by Revs. l. P. Martin, of the Methodist
church, and Rev. w. w. Ruff, of the
PRESBYTERIAN church. At the conclusion
of these services the remains were taken
to the new cemetery and laid to rest.

Another Small Fire.

Last Friday morning at about II O'Clock
the alarm of fire was given and it was
found that the roof of Mr.. j. w. Chap
mans kitchen had caught fire. A colored
man who was working for Mr.. Chapman
went upon the roof Immediately and, as
sisted by several men who had gone there
when the alarm was first given, in few
minutes put out the flames. Very little
damage was done. A large crowd re-
sponded to the cry of fire, but by the time
they got there the flames were out.
Mr.. Chapman is rather unfortunate
about having his premises catch on fire,
this being the third time in about six
months, but exceedingly fortunate in es-
Gaping any serious damage.

Chairman Dingley estimates that the
war will cost our government $2,0O0,OO0 a

will entail a heavy cost upon the country.
Twenty-three newspaper tugs sailed with
the fleet from Key West, carrying num-

Under the call of the President for vol
unteers Virginia will supply 1913. This
shows what an immense army our country
can place in the field if it should become
necessary. The 29l3 men will amount to
only three regiments, and Virginia can sup
ply hundred regiments.
There is some astonishment being ex-
pressed at the lack of excitement and ca
gerness on the part of the men Of Tazewell
to volunteer for the war. When the time
comes the men of Tazewell will do their
duty. They always have.

SPANlARDS BURNING CUBA.
Troops at Guantanamo Leave Many Towns
In Ashes.

Kingston, Jamaica, April 24,-The'
United States Consul at Baracoa, Cuba,
Alfredo 7. TRAY, bis wife and child, two
Spanish merchants and twenty two Gu
bans and Cuban-Amerlcansi mostly women
and children, from Guantanamo, debarked
from the Ely here today, after a 24-hours
quarantine.
When the steamer left Guantanamo on
Friday last, a Spanish mob, including
many soldiers, filled the public square and
adjacent streets, yelling "death to the
Yankees" Several American flags were
soiled, torn, trampled and treated with
elaborate unmentionable indlgnities. Some
naturalized Americans were compelled to
take part in the insulting work on the
threat of death if they refused.
Orders of the armistice we're posted FRI
day at Guantanamo, Two days previous
the troops began concentrating at the prin-
cipal sea coast cities, abandoning all the in
terror towns and plantations, in many cases
burning them. The passengers on the Ely
believe the devastation of that part of the
island will be completed before the Ameri-
cans can invade the ports held by the
Spaniards,
Ordinarily there are 1000 Spanish sol
diers at Guantanamo. Now there are
1000 there. New defenses, earthworks
chiefly, are under construction, and the
mounting of field pieces is in progress,
Two rapid-fre three-pounder and four an
cient models have been received.

LATEST WAR news.
Expedition to Be Sent to Cuba Next
Week.
THE OREGON SIGHTED At SANDY
POINT.
Asiatic Fleet Has Sailed for Manila
The Monitor Terror Captures a
Prize.

The plans of the War Department it is
said have been perfected for sending arms
and ammunition to insurgent army, under
escort of United States troops. The expe-
dition will start early next week, and the
only reason for delay is waiting to hear from
Lieutenant Rowan and Capt. Dansh, who
are now comforting with Garcia and Co
mez. 1t is understood that Brigader Gen
eral Shafter, now commanding troops at
New Orleans, will command the expedi-
ton. Our troops will unite with the in
surgent forces and make an attack on Ha-
vana.
The battleship Oregon, about which
there has been so much solicitude, was
seen with the gunboat Marietta at Sandy
Point, Punta Arenas, in the Straits of Ma
gelan, six days ago, They were at the
station taking on coal for the Atlantic trip.
The Spanish torpedo beat, Temerario,
which has been waiting at Buenos Ayres
for some time, was preparing at last ac-
counts to sail, presumably to attack the
Oregon.
The Asiatic Squadron sailed from Hong
Kong on yesterday, destination Manila.
Commodore Dewey will demand the sur
render of the city as soon as he arrives,
and thirty-eight minutes will be given the
authorities to respond. He may first have
to encounter the Spanish fleet, but fears
are entertained that it will not dare to
meet our squadron. 1t is reported the
Spanish squadron has started out to meet
ours. This gives great satisfaction to the
Navy Department, as our fleet is much the
best equipped.
The Monitor Terror captured a Spanish
coastwise vessel that tried to run into the
harbor of Cardenas on Tuesday.
The Spaniards claim that their troopship
Montserrat has successfully run the block
ade and entered the port of Cienfuegos on
yesterday.
Four shots we're fired at the New York
from Moro Castle yesterday morning, The
flagship was eight miles from the city and
none of the shots landed near her. She
did not reply, but steamed out of range.
1t is stated on excellent authority that
the nomination of General Fitzhugh Lee
for Major General will be sent to the Senate
on Saturday, with that of Gen. Wheeler,

WEAR WOoDEN-SOLEDS SHOES
They Will Be introduced This Winter
for Laborers' Use

The professional clog dancer is not the
only man nowadays who wears wooden
shoes. Shoes with thick wooden soles are
now quite the thing" for the laborer to
wear, and shoe dealers in this city are or
dering sample stocks of them to place on
sale this winter. The shoe with the wooden
sole weighs less than the ordinary leather
shoe usually sold to the laboring man. The
wooden sole Is an inch thick and shaped
like the ordinary leather sole. 1t is fast
ened to the leather upper" by means Of
stout brass nails and is really quite neat
looking. The upper is lined with canton
flannel, the fuzzy side in. and the shoe is
clasped to the wearer's foot bya large steel
buckle.
Shoe dealers say that the wooden soled
shoe has several advantages over leather
for laborers' use. 1t costs much less and
will keep a mans feet warmer and drier
than will a whole leather shoe. In the iron
district Of England and among the French
and German peasantry wooden shoes are,
and have been, In use for years. How they
will be received In this country remains to
be learned this fall and winter.-Kansas
