"Spanish Braggart Slain.'

The above is newspaper he adline over
an account of a gang of Ohio American
miners lately numbering one lone Spaniard
who had told how quickly Spain could whip
the United States. And this in papers that
generally advocate everything that is most
humane and would claim to stand high upon
the plane of civilization, morality and Chris
tian kindness. Such cowardly murder is
good cause for Americans to feel shame: but
of course it is only what might be expected
to occur amongst the ignorant and brutal, in
these days of one-sided evidence, excite.
ment and thirst. The murder itself is not
so much to be condemned as are the cold
blooded words under which the story was
told. They are words that clearly Imply
much more than they tell they plainly JUS
tify and glory in such useless and barbara
GUS murder. and may perhaps be the means
of other such cowardly deeds. Suppose
that one lone American, in Spain, should for
similar reason meet the same fate, and the
leading papers there should publish fam
ing headlines, american Braggart Slain,"
how quickly, and justly, we should be in
anger and point to the expression, more
than the deed, as proof Of Spanish barbarity
and their entire lack of humane sentiment.

listened to Mrs. FL. II. Hilton, who spoke so
delightfully."- Saturday afternoon on "Sunny
Days in the Orient
Mrs. Hilton took US on a little trip through
Egypt and the Holy Land in such happy
way that when she closed we felt that we
had awakened from beautiful dream and
had come back to the rough realities of life.
MIS- Hilton is not content to be simply a
lecturer, but she brought to every one a
true uplift of soul, for who could listen to
her charming description of the places where
our Lord lived and taught eighteen hundred
years ago, and not feel a desire to do more
for the lowly and dow ntrodden of humanity.
Though she shows great oratorical powers
you forget that you have listened to finish
ed rhetoric"-you may forget that she has
pleased you-but you can never forget that
she has done you service, and she will
be remembered with genuine gratitude by
all who listened to her.

The Women's Literary Club enjoyed a
treat Saturday afternoon in lecture by
Mrs. ID. ii Hilton, niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ihorndike. Her SUI ject was her travels in
Egypt and the Holy Land. We seldom have
heard lecturer who had such a wonderful
command OF language, whose enunciation
was so perfect, descriptions so graphic or who
could so interest and entertain. The ladies
of the Club and visitors all spoke in highest
praise OF Mrs. Hilton and hope they may
have the pleasure of hearing her again
sometime. Dainty refreshments were served
at the close of the hour.

his dishonest dealings Similar cases

opinion just rendered. and the amount of
