WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Our Regular Correspondent.

FROM Our iteRultlr correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. IS. 1898.
Spain has not added anything
to the already slim prospects for
a peaceful ending of the present
situation, by its foolish attempt
to make it appear to Europeans
that the United States by gather
ing a fleet Of warships at Key
West had made the success of
autonomy in Cuba impossible.
This suggestion, like that for
the recall Of Consul General Lee,
was made IN such a way that the
Spanish government can disclaim
responsibility for it, should it
become necessary. This govern
n1ent is not likely to take the
slightest official notice Of it, any
more than it will break up the
fleet at Key West orstop any other
preparation it is making for
war. The only possible effect
of this virtual acknowledgement
of Spain that autonomy is fail
ure---an acknowledgement made
in writing by Senor de LONE
months ago7--will be to furnish
an additional Justification for
speedy Intervention by the United
States in Cuba.
The desire of spectators tc
influence the stock market has
been responsible for more OF the
recent conflicting stories than
any actual changes in the situa-
,tion. Everyttlitl g has be n
steadily marching che way to
war. The administration has
been spending large sums Of
money III the purchase of war
ships, guns, ammunition and
fothef war paraphanalia, and
naval experts are busy examining
the nearly one thousand mer.
chant vessels which have been
placed by their owners at the dis.
posal Of the government, while
the navy department is enlisting
all the men who can pass a satls-
factory physical examination.
One of the most significant
'oacHrrences Of tho week was the

cambridge Democrat Says 1t VIII Be Exc
teBded to Columbus via Daw son.
The cambridge Democrat, published
at the home of Hon. A. L. Halves, vice.
president aud attorney of the Georgia
Pine Railway, prints the following con-
corning the extension of that road:
cit 10 the purpose of the people of the
above railroad to extend it right along
to Dawson and Columbus from Airing
ton, which latter point will be reached
by the first of October next month.
The road will consequently cross the
Central at Arlington and Dawson and
connect with it at Columbus Hen ce ,
it seems to US that the logical CONTROL Ell
of the G. z road must be the Central.
The G. p. will, without doubt, extend
its line from cambridge to Tallahassee.
This done, as an independent line, it
would pay handso ne profits.
"Hhe line from Columbus to Balm
bridge runs through the garden spot of
Georgia, and the immense productions
OF the ChattahOOChee alley would reach
the markets over its rails. Below Balm
bridge to Tallahassee is one of the fairest
regions Of The south, and this road will
cause untold numbers of the best citizens
to settle along it's line.
Colonel J. p Williams, the turpen-
tine king of Georgia, is the president of
the Georgia Pine, and he can control
money sufficient to extend it in any di-
rection he sees fit. The road will be
forty miles long when il reaches Airing
ton, but its showing for its first years
work was marYelous-65 per cent. profit
over and above construction and operat-
ing expenses. We doubt if there is a
parallel case in the country of such earn
ings by new road,
1--WE trust that the Central will COM
bine with and operate this valuable piece
Of railroad property. We desire this on
account of the power and resources of
the Central system for the reason that it
will take a giant to compete with the
Plant system in this section. That the
Central is the road to do this thing most
effec.ually we do not nor cannot DOUBT.

ParrOtt,
The farmers in the vicinity of Parrot,

ant says it is altri buted to feeding on
German milet. Some farmers who
have been feeding on this miilet have

it is their opinion that the millet is re-

The O of the ripe miliet seed produces I'M

1t is reported that an unusually large

Uctrotlill HinRn.

Modern Greek peasants exchange a
gold aud silver wedding ring, and they
drink wine from the same cup. But the
regular rituul of the Greek church or
1ains that solemn bctrothal precedes the
actual marriage, in which are used gold
and silver wedding rings blessed by
the priest, the gold ring being given to
the man, the silver ring to the woman.
The form of the espousal is then repeat
ed, and the rings are placed OH the right
hands and then exchanged that no in
foriority may be betokened by the wom-
an wearing the silver ring and also to
indicate common ownership of prop
Brty.
An Armenian mother usually chooses
her daughters husband. After all bust
ness preliminaries are settled between
the families the bridegroom's mother,
accompanied by priest and two ma
irons, visits the bride and gives her
ring in token of espousal, and with this
ring the couple are ultimately married.
Among the fishing communities very
ancient and elaborate rings are used,
and they descend as heirlooms from
generation to generation.
In japanese marriages arranged be-
tween very young people the girl re-
'ceives ring in evidence that the union
is binding. In Malabar an old native
custom seats both bride and bridegroom
on dais, and a relative washes the
feet of the bridegroom with milk and
puts silver ring ON the great toe of the
right foot. He then hands gold ring
to his kinsnan, and a necklace and
chaplet of flowers are put on the brides
neck and head.-London Mail

WHAT THEY ARE.
Composition of the Famous New Food.


a wide spread interest has been
created among good livers, as to the
composition of Grape-Nuts, the new
food that has come into popular use
of late. 1t has long been known to
physicians, chemists and food
experts, that the starchy por-
ton of entire wheat flour
and barley is transformed into Il true
and very choice sugar, by the act of
intestinal digestion in the human
body. This sugar is identical with,
and is known as grape-sugar. and it
is in condition for immediate trans
formation into blood and the neces-
sary structure from which the deli
cate nerve centers are built up.
A food expert of the Postum Cereal
company, Limited, Battle Greek, Mich,
followed Il line of experiments until
he produced the food called Grape
Nuts, of which grape sugar forms the
principal part, and is produced by
following out natures processes in a
mechanical way. That is, heat, mOis-
ture and time are the methods en-
ployed and directed by scientific facts
gained in research.
Grapc-Nuts are probably entitled to
the claim to be the most perfectly
adapted food for human needs now
extant. Certain it is that the users
delight in the flavor and the perfect
action of intestinal digestion during
the use of GrapeNuts is satisfying,
and the added strength of body con-
firms the fact.

DESIRABLE IMPROVEMENT.
Extension of the Wing Dam Above Gov
eminent Island.


The proposed extension of the wing
dam above the government island
will raise the stream over three feet,
giving Moline and the arsenal an eX-
cellent water power and providing
Moline with harbor. Altogether it
will be an improvement which has
long been needed.
The general feature of the construc-
alton of the proposed wing dam con-
sists of Golfer dam, built in the
usual way, the top of which for its
entire length is to he on level two
feet above low water mark. The eN-
listing wing dam is To be brought to
the same level if found too low. The
lateral dam situated about $500 feet
below the Duck Greek dam, is to be
removed, and the loose rock thus OBJ
tanned to be used in the new cOnstrnc-
ton. The present Duck Greek dam
is also to be removed, and its site
dredged out clean to the rock, so that
no obstruction be left in the bed of
the river ut this point to obstruct the
free flow of the water into the pool.
