MAY ASK FOR ANNEXATION.
Growing Sentiment IN Cuba for the
Union of that Island with
the United States.

Nearly every one who returns from
Cuba, both in official and unofficial cir
cles, speaks of the rapid growth Of the
annexation sentiment in that island. 1t
is said that practically all of the busi-
ness men and those who own property
are anxious to see the island annexed
to this country, as this would insure
stable government for the Cubans
and they would feel secure in their civ
il and property rights.
This sentiment Is rapidly crystalliz-
ing, and recent arrivals from Cuba pre-
dict that before the American troops
are removed from the island petitions
will be made for annexation. The ad-
ministration has no policy for the an
neXation of Cuba and cannot have any
on account of the declaration in the
Cuban resolution, which said: "The
United States hereby disclaims any in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over said island, eX-
cept for the pacification thereof, and
asserts its determination, when that is
accomplished, to leave the government
and control of the island to its people"
The language of this resolution is so
plain that it cannot be misunderstood,
and therefore the petition must come
from the Cubans. Notwithstanding this
belief is growing in administration
circles that Cuba will eventually ask
this government to take the island un-
der Its protecting wing and give these
people II stable government. At the
same time 1t is felt that so many Amer
lean lives have been sacrificed and SO
much American money expended in
driving Spain from the island, It would
only be fair recompense to turn the
Gem of the Antilles over to the United
States.

TWO sEvRES VASES.
Presented to United States by the
Late President of France.
Commemorate Opening OF New Frnn-
co-AmericRn Cable-Mngnincnnt
Specimens of Art Work of
French National Pottery.

The opening of the new Franco
American cable on August II last, on
which occasion President Mckinley
and President Faure exchanged the
first message over the new line, has
been commemorated by the presenta-
ton to the government of the United
States through President Mckinley of
two magnificent Sevres vases from
the French national pottery ut Sevres.
The gift WAS from the late president
of the French republic, Felix Faure,
and was presented by NJ. Cambon, the
French ambassador at Washington.
The vases and pedestals stand six or
eight feet high, and are of a deep blue,
characteristic of the finest Sevres ware,
as well as in happy accord with the pre-
yailinP colors of the blue room of the
white house, where they have been
placed in position, one on either side of
the large window looking toward the
Potomac. They far exceed in elegance
anything in the way of porcelain
hitherto brought to the white house.
The Sevres factory is n government
institution situated near Paris, on the
banks OF the Seine, half way between
Paris and Versailles. 1t was erected
by Louis XIV. because the soil furnished
a porcelain clay entirely unique in the
modelling of fine articles. Ever since
the time of Louis XIV. the factory has
been protected by French rulers. The
most prominent artists in France, both
painters and sculptors, have been at
tached to this factory. There is prob
ably not a royal palace in Europe that
does not possess one or more celebrated
specimens of the Sevres ware, such as
vases or table services, and the white
house itself possesses Sevres service
which always appears at the state din
ners given by the president
The vases will now remain a pcrma-
manent possession of the white house,
along with several other notable deco
rations given by foreign governments.
If they had been given personally to
President Mckinley 1t would have re-
quired an act of congress for their ac-
ceptance, but as n gift to the American
government and people no special act
is required, and they remain one of the
fixed possessions of the white house.

A NATURAL BAR.
Wireless TeleEraphy, as Far as Pres
ent Developments Go, ImpractI-
cable for Long Distances.

AS a result of conferences between
Prof. Bell, inventor of the telephone;
Prof. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau; Prof. McGee, of the National mu-
scum, and Col. Squires, of the army
signal corps, it has been decided that
SO far as present developments of the
system of wireless telegraphy are con-
cerned, the process is not yet applicable
to practical work at any considerable
distances. 1t is believed something
might be done in the way of short dis
tance signals, but the earth's shape ap-
parently interposes bar to work over
long circuits, as the direct line between
two stations at any distance would
necessarily pass through solid ground.
Scientists are. experimenting, and
have been for some time, but as yet
have not seen indications that tele-
graphing without wires has progressed
beyond the purely experimental stage,
although they look for new discoveries
and marked development in the future.

CHURCHES ORDER CHATS OFF"
Women In Columbus CO.) COnErega-
tiOns Must Remove Their
HeadGear.

Hats, off" is the order that must be
obeyed by the women as well as the
male worshipers in the three leading
churches of Columbus, Ca, Sunday
morning. The official boards of the
First Congregational, First Baptist and
Broad Street Methodist churches, the
most fashionable in the capital city,
held meeting during the past week
and decided that the women must re-
move their headgear during services,
The women concede the wisdom of
the reform, but maintain that with a
large hat in their lap they are prevented
from leaning over in comfort or from
arising to sing without seriously en-
dangering decorations on the hat. The
First Baptist church will meet the sit
uation by providing maid for the
women, relieving them of their hats
and wraps and checking them, such as
Is done in theaters, while man will
look after the overcoats and hats of the
men.

NEED NEW UNIFORMS.
Inspector General Breckinridge Calls
Attention to a Blue-striped Linen
UnifOrm Used by Spaniards.

A number of recommendation in the
interest of the health and comfort of
the American troops in Cuba and Porto
Rico have been made by Inspector Gen.
Breckinridge, who has just re-
turned from an inspection trip in those
islands.
While all the American troops in Porto
Rico were found comfortably housed,
Gen. Breckenridge discovered that many
of the men in Cuba were in tents,
though the war department since his
report reached it, has been making
strong efforts to get all the troops into
barracks before the rainy season.
The great fault found by Gen. Breck-
inridge was in the matter of clothing.
The khaki uniforms, with which most
of the men were supplied, have turned
all shades of color from white TO u dirty
brown and are not satisfactorily serv-
ing their purpose. He has brought to
the attention Of the department blue
striped linen uniform used by the Span
iards.

A wholesome suspicion is one OF onr
characteristics as a nation. In matters
worthy of Investigation we want real,
tangible facts regarding IL. The word
of those we know; the nearby evidence
obtainable, are generally what we
most desire. When we call on neigh
Dor, a man of busiue IS at that, and say:
You have he'd some experience with
so-and-so; what do you think OF it?'
aud he answers: Just the thing; L
know because have tried it." 1t goes
a long way in helping our decision.
This is always the case with Doan's
Kidney Pills. Everybody who has us
ed them for any kidney complaint will
tell you: "They are just the thing"
Why? because they do the work every
time and in all disordered conditions
of the kineys. The proof lies with your

Suggest. a Municipal orematory.

Mayor Quincy, of Boston, has sug-
gested that the city should build a mu-
nicipal crematory in which to incin-
crate the bodies of paupers, criminals
and others whose burial devolyes upon
the city. The idea is to do away alto
gether with the potter's field. 1t is as
serted that the city could cremate bod
les at cost OF only one dollar each,
while it costs three dollars TO dig a
grave. The present potter's field win
be filled before the expiration of the
present year. The burials now amount
to about 800 a year and increase in
number yearly.

TO MUSTER OUT IN MACON.
The sixth VIII Hardly he brought
IN Richmond-MiIitar Notes.

Governor Tyler has not yet received
official notification of the intention Of the
War Department TO muster out the sixth
Virginia. though II has been learned un-
officially that this step has been decided
upon.
II is believed tho regiment will be mus
tered out In Macon, instead Of being sent
here to be paid off and discharged Inc
men will each b. given months extra
pay in case they are mustered our at
Macon. This is TO cover their transporta-
ton home.
Major Price the muster-out officer Of
the Second and Third regiments, and
Major Shanks, the quartermaster for the
muster out, have returned from spending
the holidays with their families at Lex
ington and Salem, respectively. Major
Price will as soon as possible. ascertain
how much of the property Of the Nir-
ginia regiments is worth turning in, how
much must be sold, and what is to be
burned AS soon as he shall have passed
upon it, Major Shanks will proceed to
turn, sell, and burn.
An officer of one of the discharged Vir
ginia regiments says he IS overrun with
letters from men formerly Of his com
mand asking him to help them to secure
positions where they can earn a liveli-
hood. In many cases. TO his personal
knowledge, the men had good positions
before the war, but they gave them up
to enlist. They never got them back. The
officer referred TO says he knows that
in many instances mcn who volunteered
have been rendered almost objects of
charity by the step.
