CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FRER.
one Of the Grandest oners Ever Made.

One Of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package of Red Cross" starch, one large
10c package of ''HUBINGER'S BEST'
starch, two Shakespeare pictures,
printed in twelve beautiful colors, as
natural as life, or one Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar, the finest of it's kind
everprinted, ,allabsolutely free. All 9th
ers procuring the Endless Chain Starch
Book will obtain from their grocer two
large 10c packages of starch for SC, and
the beautiful premiums, which are be-
ing given away. This offer is only made
for a short time to further introduce
the famous RED CROSS" starch, and
the celebrated "HUBINGER'S BEST"
cold-water starch. RED CROSS" laun-
dry starch is something entirely new,
andi without doubt the greatest inven-
ton of the Twentieth Century. 1t has
no equal, and surpasses all others. 1t
has won for itself praise from all parts
of the United States. It has super
seded everything heretofore used, or
known to science in the laundry art.
It is made from wheat, rice and corn,
and is chemically prepared upon scien-
tific principles, by j. c. Hubinger, an
expert in the laundry profession, who
has had 25 years of practical experience
in fancy laundering, and who is the
first successful and original inventor
of all fine grades of starch in the United
States. If you would have the best, ask
for RED CROSS and ''HUBINGER'S
BEST" which are the finest starches
on the market to-day. The jobbing
houses all handle it, the retail grocer
has it on his shelves, you find it in all
the homes. while the careful house.

Their Graves at Santiago to BE Suitably

The thirty-lve Americans who were
butchered by Spain twenty-six years
ago to crafty the brutal instincts of
revenge are at last to have tardy
recognition at the hands OF this gov
ernment. The story OF the fate of the
crew of the Virginius is still fresh in
the public mind. for II occupied con-
spicuous place in the early literature
relating to the late war with Spain
and the capture of Santiago de Cuba.
where the butchery Of Captain Fry and
his men took place. Senator Money
now proposes that the remains OF the
victims OF that massacre shall no
longer rest in unmarked graves and
he asked congress to make some rep
aration for the neglect with which
they have been treated. Under the
bill which he has introduced In the
upper house of congress the secretary
Of war Is authorized to have the bodies
Of these men exhumed and brought
to the United States for burial. II It
is found TO be impossible to identify
their graves with any degree OF cer-
tainty. then IL Is provided that the
place of their burial shall be fenced

then it was that Leopold got into hot
water. There is deputy in the house.
OF representatives named Journez OF
Luettich. He rose In public meeting
OF the house and charged openly ana
loudly that De Caters was only fig-
rrehead for Delloye; that Delloye is
the kings partner. and that the award
had been obtained with the most nag
rant bribe-giving and taking that ever
had disgraced any country. He said
that positions in the three gambling
palaces had been offered to all the rela-
tives and dependents of the members
of the municipal council. and that
$4,000 francs had been paid openly Tor
a single vote. After announcing that
formal criminal charges would be made
at once he continued: Not only were
privilege. but it is notorious that the
money which is paid for the privilege
is stolen and wasted in the most
shameful manner But the truth IS
that the government refuses to inter-
fere because the hand Of the king pre-
vents it. Behind the ostend municipal
