Government Notifies Spaniards That
Evacuation Means "Get-Out.'
WASHINGTON, Sept. pa very
peremptory message of instruction
has been sent to the Cuban Military
Commission, and by them made the
basis of note to the Spanish Com
missiOners. The authorities in
Washington will not make public
the terms of the note, but It's general
tenor is that the United States will
not be satisfied with any further de-
lay in the evacuation of Cuba. 1t is
to the effect that the terms of the pro-
tocol called for the immediate evac-
uation of Cuba, and that Spanish SOW
ereignty must be relinquished. The
American Commissioners have been
informed that the evacuation OF
Cuba can not be delayed.

Another Candidate for Representative
win BE Nominated Tuesday,.
Capt. Frank Craig, who was
chosen in the convention last week
as one of the Democratic nominees
for Representative from Maury
County in the lower house of the
Legislature, has written to Chair
man n. b. Cheairs, of the County
Democratic Executive Committee,
declining to accept the nomination
and than king the convention for the
honor conferred upon him. Capt.
Craig was not present in the conven-
ton, but his friends, recognizing his
worth and thinking that he would
accept, gave the nomination to,
MIN without his consent. In his
letter to Chairman Cheairs he does
not state his reason for declining.
The same delegates who cOnstitu-
ted the convention last week have
been called to meet in the court
house Tuesday IT, nominate candi-
date to fill his place. OF course 1t is
impossible to say who the candidate
will be, as the unexpected frequently
happens in uninstructed ,onven-
tions, as was demonstrated last week.

PRACTICAL KIN DNESS.
Tobacco RatiOns For One Hundred Thous'
aud Grateful Soldiers.

Tobacco kattOnS For ODe hundred InOus-
aud Grateful Soldiers.
These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like a
shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of
the cloud of privatiOn and endurance
has been the work that The American
Tobacco Co. has done among the [. )
Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war
began-for when they discovered that
the camps and hospitals were not sup
piled with tobacco they decided to pro-
vide them, free of cost, with enough for
every man, and have already given out
right to our Soldiers and Sailors over
one hundred thousand pounds of "Bat-
tie AK Plug" and "Duke's Mixture"
Smoking Tobacco, and have bought
and distributed fifty thousand briar
wood pipes, at a total cost of between
fifty and sixty thousand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by established head
Quarters in each camp so that every
camp and every hospital of the United
States Army has been supplied with
enough tobacco for every man and the
sailors on thirty United States Ships in
Cuban waters have shared with the
soldiers this most welcome of all
"rations."
Perhaps il will be only fair to remem'
her when we hear the remark again
that corporations have no souls" that
there is one American corporation
whose soul has been tried and has moi
been found wanting in practical kind
ness"

Fernando Freye, Auditor General
of the Cuban government, has given
out an interview in which he says
the Cubans will not lay down their
arms until an independent govern

also oppose American occupation
after the Spaniards have evacuated.
Senior Freyre says he is confident
from the correspondence between Sc

that the United States will recognize
Cuban independence, even though
there may later be a desire fol

called for October 10, when, among

"May the remains and image
of the great Columbus lie
thousand centuries preserved
in this urn and in the remem-
brance of our nation"

After the four hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery of the New
World by Columbus the Spanish
Cortes included in the Cuban budget
large sums for the purpose of erect
ing a fitting monument symbolizing
the travels of the discoverer, to be
placed in the most conspicuous place
in Havana, and the construction of
mausoleum to hold his ashes. This
mausoleum, the work of the Spanish
sculptor Melida, was brought to Ha
vana and placed upon base erected
in the centre aisle of the Cathedral,
close to the main door.
The monument, the work on which
was entrusted to Sculptor Susillo,

but circumstances have overturned
the plans made on the occasion OF
the celebration of the four hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of
America, and it is probable that both
the monument and the mausoleum
will be placed i'm fitting place in
Spain, where they will be looked
upon as one of the treasures of the
Spanish nation.
The ashes were deposited in zinc
case which was placed in the sacris-
ty of the Cathedral and permanent
guard was established to watct
them. Public religious services will
be held shortly.

N FOR THE EARS.

The custom of wearing earrings has
come down from the earliest time.
Among the Athenians it was n sign Of
nobility to have the ears pierced.
1t is said that earrings are coming
in again, but few omen nowadays will
be willing to have their ears pierced
and disfrured with pendants.
Among the P~hoenicians the wearing
Of earrings was a badge of servitude,
the same custom obtaining with the
Hebrews. The latter people said when
Eve was expelled from Paradise her
ears were bored as a sign Of slavery.
The Egyptian women wore bangle
hoops of gold in their ears, which were
regarded as the wearers' choice posses
sions, and were parted from only un-
der direst distress. The gold calf was
supposed to have been made entirely
from the earrings of the people.
Among the Arabs the expression "to
have a ring in ones ears" issynonymous
with "to be a slave" and to the present
day an Arab who has been conquered
Ivy another places a ring through his
a as a token.
The wearing of earrings was so gen
eral in Rome and the jewels were SO
heavy that there were professionals
known rs ear-healers, who tended the
ears of ladies who had torn or in.
jured the lobes with the weight Of the
pendants. At n time Roman men
wore rings in their ears, while in Greece
the children wore a ring in the right
ear only.

Queen Victoria has given orders that
the old state apartments in Kensington
palace, which have long been disused,
shall be put in order and opened to the
public indefinitely, says the New York
Mail and Express. Nine rooms will be
renovated, among them the bedroom in
which her majesty was sleeping on the
memorable June morning nearly 81
years ago when the news came to her
that the archbishop Of Canterbury was
waiting in the council chamber to tell
her hat she was sovereign of one of
the great Kingdoms of the world.
All these nine rooms are denuded of
furniture and almost knee deep with
dust. The ballroom in the Denmark
wing, where the men and women of the
aristocracy held high revel for two CEN
turtles, has been found n handy place
for tucking away things which were
not wanted elsewhere, and it looks like
a regular junk shop. Rusty barrel or
gans, broken-down tables, unseated
chairs and pictureless frames lie on the
floor in heaps, and over these hangs in
ragged strips, as though to cover the
desolation, the tapestry which former
