Harp and Banjo Strings.

1t has always been believed that
violin, harp and banjo strings we're
made out of the visccra of the cat, >
explained teacher Of music to Star
reporter, "but l have considerable
doubt that there ever was string so
made. The gut of cat is no more
suitable for such use than that of
mouse, aud as far as my invcstiga-
tion goes has never been so used.
Violin strings are made Of many kinds
of skins, but principally out of sheep
skins. The secret is in curing the
skins, which has always been in Italy,
where all the finer and better grade Of
strings are made. There are, how
ever, several concerns in this country,
which turn out musical strings, and
they make ~ very good grade, though
they do not compare as yet with the
Italian strings.
All the poets who have sung of
the musical insi6es Of the cat we're
wrong. Even Shakespeare, who was
phenomenally correct generally in his
productions, fell into the prevailing
error, probably because he did not
take the trouble to look into the mat
ter and accepted the general opinion.
The various metallic or wire strings
are improving constantly and are used
in very large quantities and by the
best musicians. They have one ad-
vantage over the skin strings when
used out Of doors in that they are not
affected by the weather. In damp
weather skin or gut strings, as they
arc generally named, are affected very
much, and, Notwithstanding all the
tightening, they arc very frequently
fiat in tone. The wir string escapes
that influence, though there is GER
tain effect, timbre, technically speak
ing, that can be got out of skin that
no wire string yet made will give
you. = Washington Star.

Governing our Colonies.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. l1-Plans for
the temporary government of Cuba
and the territory which will be acquired
from Spain as result Of the war are
now under serious consideration by
the President and the members Of the
Cabinet. Porto Rico as an actual
acquisition to the territory of the
United States will be placed in charge
Of military Governor who will cxcr-
else Il supervisory control OF all the
functions OF the government. under
the direction Of he President, until
Congress shall determine upon a per
mancnt form Of government for the
island The President. under the
| Con ,titution and laws, has no author
ity to 90 beyond this preliminary stage
in the establishment Of any system Of
governmental control, although it is
altogether probable that in his mes
sagc 70 Congress on the subject he
will exercise his constitutional prlvi-
lcgc o! making recommendations
| pom Congress alone will dcyolvc the
responsibility and duty Of determining
the character Of the political relations
which Porto Rico shall permanently
bear to the United States. There are
reasons for the belief that the Prcsi
dent himself favOrs IL colonial form of
government, and that this view is
shared by the members Of the Cabinet.
Canada is cited as having model
colonial government, which is salts
nl; t, e
pie and to the mother country. This
system, however, it is believed, can
be put into operation c"ly after the
lapse OF u considerable + -od Of time.
and after the people have dcmonstra
ted their ability to govern themselves.
1t is believed to be the intention Of
the President to establish for the
VIII island Of Cuba temporary
military government similar to that
now in operation in Santiago. When
order has been fully restored and
the people have settled down to
their peaceful occupations, it is bclicv
cd to be the view of the President that
convention Of representatives Of the
people should be called to vote upon the
question Of Il form Of government for
IIC lSIduu. uC pICSCHCC VI Ilc army
Of the United States would be Il guar
antcc that every citizen who would
subscribe to an oath binding himself
to support whatever form Of govern
mcnt should be decided upon should
have the unqucstioncd right to vote
for whomsocvcr he pleased to repre-
sent him at this convention. The ac-
tion of Lhis body. however, would have
to be submitted to the United States
for approval or disapproval. 1t is
pointed out that this convention Of
representatives of the whole people in
the free exercise Of their choice might
express wish to become colonial
dependency of the Uni,cd States, or
might favor Republican form of gov
crnmcnt, or possibly majority might
ask to be annexed to the United
States. In any of these contingencies
it is believed that their wishes would
meet the approval Of the President
and his advisers.

Reckless Expenditure.

Nobody, in fact, knows how much
the war has cost or is costing per month.
per week, per day. And, apparently,
at Washington nobody cares. 1t is
spend spend-sp spend. The country's 8
credit is ENTHUSIASTICALLY then stop
at few thousand or a few million dol
lars? But, by and by, there will be a
day of reckoning. The bills will come
in and will have to be paid. 1t may
be found that certain individuals, GER
tain classes Of persons, have profited
largely by the war-have been made
rich, thanks to their personal relations
with parties in power at Washington
and the influence they have been able
to bring to bear. But how about the
millions who have no "pull,' no in
fiucnce,' who have made nothing out
of the war, who will only have their
dead to mourn and the bills to pay !?
In the interest Of the great and over
whelming majority Of the American
people it is high time to call halt and
to say that the war should stop, and
that when the fighting and the shoot
ing cease the spending and the vast
ing should cearo baltimore

Just Like Wheeler.


NASHVILLE Tenn, Aug. 12.-Post-
master A. w. Willis received letter
from Gen. joe Wheeler to-day dated
Santiago de Cuba, July q, 1893, in
which Gen. Wheeler says, referring to
newspaper reports concerning Gen.
Shaftcr:
Il think the criticisms upon Gen.
Shaftcr were very unjust. lie has had
hard task, and has performed it sue :
ccssfully and we'll. He is Il man of
more than ordinary brain power and
administrative ability. The criticism
that he did not place himself on the fir
ing line is ridiculous as on July he
was carrying on two fights at the same
timc-onc at Cancy and one at San
Juan. lie had some reserves, and had
to place himself whclc he could see
both fights and manage the whole af-
fair. which he did efficiently. With
very high regards,
Truly your friend,

Probably Sixty-Two Thousand.

The question Of how many men
South Carolina furnished to the Con
fcderatc army is one that for various
reasons cannot be answered with abb
solutc accuracy. and owing to the fact
that the muster rolls Of several regi-
mcnts have been destroyed, and that
there were South Carolinian, in every
regiment that went to the front from
States west Of here, there is no proba-
bility that it ever will be answered to
Il man. or to within few hundreds Of
the correct figure. In response to the
rcuucS; Of a correspondent reporter
undertook to secure the figures ycstcr-
day. and by applying to the best avail
able sources arrived at as close an
estimate. perhaps, as can be had;
fixing the total at G2 800, Of which
3o,9O7 volunteered prior to the passage
Of the Conscript Act.
According to the figures furnished
by the war department at Washington
South Carolina furnished 10 rcgi-
mcnts. IL battalions and indcpcn-
dent companies Of infantry; 9 rcgi-
ments, II battalions and 6 independent
companies Of cavalry; , regiments, i
battaions and II independent com
pancs Of artillery. and 8 regiments
and Z battalions Of rcscrvcs-homc
guards; making total Of 62 rcgi-
mcnts, 30 battalions and 80 indcpcn-
dent companies. Estimating that
regiment in the civil war had about
900 men on its rolls, battalion
about 600, and company 100, this
would make it appear that there were
$4,000 men or more in grey from South
Carolina. The fact, however, is that
there were not nearly so many South
Carolina regiments, the mistake kav-
ing arisen by reason Of several Of the
regiments being remembered at the
time Of their reorganization, and in
that way counted twice, a fact which
very readily accounts for the error
into which the war department has
fallen
1t would be most remarkable fact
if these figures were true, when it is
recalled that at the beginning of the
war the total arms bearing population
Of the State between the ages Of l8
and 10 was 55,046, and that under the
Conscript Act of 1863 there were only
69, $3.50 men in the State liable between
the ages Of 10 and SO. Therefore, as
will be seen. the figures of the war de-
partnlcnt are ruled out of Court by
the census figures of the year 1860,
which cannot be gone behind and bear
out the G2,50O estimate, which may
be regarded as nearly correct as can
ever be madc.-Ncrs md Courier.

''Mr. Jollnsing Turn HE loose. -

war, was y. G. johnson. He was
always in place. He wore long-tail-

After the war he was showing a negro
how to handle pistol when it went
off and entered his thigh, ranged
down and came out near the ankle.
He said then he never would have any
thing to do with firearms again but he
hasn't kept his word. His nephew
Henry j. Power, was in the city last
week and told US that this same Mr.
johnson was in the battle at Santiago
and got out with only slight wound.
His home is in Florida and he was liv-

watermelon party was given by Miss
Maude Penn last Friday evening COM
plimcntary to her guest, Miss Henry.
Miss Penn is an admirable hostess,
and her entertainments are always
occasions of delight. After the usual
amusemcnts with music, conversation
and games, all repaired to the dining
room and feasted on the lucious Grim

most entertaining features Of the oc-
casion was the aggregation Of conun-
drums on watermclons, each guest pro-
ducing one original. Several were as
follows:
Why is watermelon like book {?
Answer: Because it is read on the

Why is the meat Of watermelon

Answer: Because it is on the

Cubaus Fight No Longer.

New YORK, August 13.-Word was
received late tonight from the Cubans
in the field that they have accepted
the armistice and are no longer fighting
the Spaniards.
H. 5. Rubens. counsel of the Cuban
delegation, said: "The Cubans may
be depended upon to cooperate with
the Americans in carrying out the es-
tablishment Of peaceful and stable
government on the island. The Cubans
stand accused by the Spaniards as not
being capable of self-government, and
they feel that it is question of dignity
and honor to disprove that falsehood
to all the world. They have no feel
ings but gratitude for the timely and
effective intervention of the United
States in their behalf They have full
confidence in the justice Of American
government, and feel sure that they,
the true friends of republican institu-
tions, will not discriminate against
them in any way because Of pretend
ed fear for the safety Of the island be-
cause of tie calumnies of Spain. They
will assist the United States in every
way in their power to settle any ques-
tion that may hereafter arise, and with
the same order they maintained when
the principle was Independence or
death, will they not strive for the re-
alization Of the new motto, peace and
Prosperity

The Rebel Yell, Junior.

The American army has adopted the
rebel yell
The famous war cry of the Confcd-
cracy is alive to-day, but it is the boys
in blue who unlimbcr their vocal
chords and search like a lot of old
rebels as they dash to the charge
The men Of Massachusetts, yell just
as Justify as the men south Of the
Mason and Dixon line In fact. the
northern troops. and particularly those
from New York, seem to place great
confidence in he horrible scrccch. The
roar and rou>ing cheer which en-
couragcl the boys Of Gl, who were
battling for the preservation Of the
Union. seems to live in memory only.
1t has been succeeded by the blood
curdlng yell which the wcarcrs Of the
ragged Jackets made heard far above
the howl OF the shell. and roar of the
cannon or the bark Of the mu~hct. In
- the old rebel yell is heard again.
1t is not generally known that yell
ing when the charge is on is pre-
scribcd in the army regulations.
"Whcn from thirty to fifty yards
from the enemy emit yell, saith
the drill book, and the yell that fills
the air is the plain old d-fashioncd
rebel 'Y-Yo- Wo-Wor The
New Workers turn loose a fearful yell
when they charge, and the Fifth rcgi
mcnt Of Maryland lets go All even more
dangerous howl. The sound is nothing
of the nature of a cheer 1t is avid,
unearthly cross between screcch and
yell that is calculated not only to
strike terror to the enemy, but to en-
courage our own boys. The yell is sup
posed to put the finishing touches t,
the enemy. The Americans in their
charge, having covered all but about
thirty yards of the distance until the
Spaniards are reached, dash forward
from double-quick to mad rush,
yelling wildly, for the triple purpose Of
encouraging each other and confusing
and terrorizing the enemy.
There is not question Of doubt that
the battle cry of the American army
is the rebel yell of old, and its
adoption by the boys in blue is
great compliment to the men who set
it to music of bullets thirty seven
years ago.
The Fifth took to the yell most nat
urally. There are men in the command
who 'sang in the choir" of 81 and
who are delighted to hear the revival
of the old but ncver-to be forgotten
melody
Capt. Lee Goldsborough, of Co. I,
says tho yell, junior, is real thing,
and is of the opinion that it is the
sweetest Emusic he ever heard.
When the order ''to the charge is
given the men start forward at
double-quick. Then as the cnemy's
line is neared, the squirt begins, the
yell is given and all is over, perhaps.
During every skirmish drill scores Of
men may be seen rushing over the hot
sands against an imaginary foe, yell
ing like wild. The yell, it is hoped.
will prove very effective against the
Spaniards, who by this time have
heard it, and understand that it is

Yankee Gunboat and Women.

The old man was asked by boy Ii
the volunteering now was like it was
in 1861. "Oh, Lor. no" he said,
"Old Abe called for volunteers from
Virginia, and then Virginia woke up
and pulled out of the Union. Old
John Letcher called for volunteers,
too but the Chesterfield and Man
chester boys did not wait for that,
tell you, sir lie went on: "Along
in the winter of l86O.6l Old Billy
Jones, who had gone to Richmond to
carry his tobacco, came galloping
through our neighborhood, leaving his
cart at the ware house in the city, and
crying: The Pawnee. The Pawneen
a lot of us were at the village store,
as was the custom then, where we had
gone to hear the news, and after
awhile we got Old Billy calmcd down
enough to make us understand that
Pawnee was Yankee gunboat, and
that 1T was reported in Richmand she
was coming up the river to destroy
the city.
That was enough. A short con-
ference was held, and in less than two
hours every man had his muskct on
his back-some riding, others walking
but all going toward Richmond.
Late that night we were in Richmond,
and when we left it war had begun,
and we left as enlisted soldiers in the
service of the Confederate States"
"Did the women take it hard, your
going?' somebody asked. "Take it
hard" he repeated. "No, sir, they
didn't; they eggcd us on, and wanted
US to 60 They were more excited
than the men. They were not much
grieved at parting, either, because
they were too proud of their husbands
and sons and sweethearts to be very
sorry, and, besides, everybody thought
the wcr would he over in three weeks"
