A CHARMING HOSTESS.

A CHARMING HOSTESS.
Our Grandmamma gave luncheons
In dear old days Of yore,
She served them in her kitchen,
Where shonc yell w floor.
A useful, quaint collection
OF brie-a-brae was there;
An antique ehurn stood open
With most inviting air.
The hostess, dear, kind Lady,
Received with gracious ease
And smiled when children's children
Came near and murmured, "Please.'
The guests all wore checked aprons
And shoes adorned with dust,
And earnest tongues were pleading,
And eyes were full Of frost.
For Grandmamma, wise woman,
Knew such charming way
on helping little mortals
Who toiled long hours at play.
She filled her shining glasses
For eager hands to hold
With buttermilk made tempting
With speeks Of creamy goli.
From an alluring pantry
That hid nice things away,
Such queerly twisted erullers
We're brought out on tray;
And caraway seed cookies
With scallops on the rim
With plates that had for borders
Blue roses round the brim.
For floral decorations,
An open windows screen
Was woven by the roses,
With twining leaves Of green.
Long wreaths Of honey-suekle
Held blossoms by the score,
That swung and shed their fragrance
Around the shaded door.
And strains Of joyous music
Among the trees were heard,
While tones Of gleeful laughter
Chimed in with song Of bird.
The little winds came waiting
Soft puffs Of garden air =
O, Ger was breeze more balmy!
And ne'er was scene more fair!
Far down the years long vista
Where childhood lies in view
The simple, sweet old fashions
Seemed touched with grace anew.
Still DER those summer mornings
Blend all the charms they wore
When Grandmamma gave luneheons
In dear old days Of yore.

Quay Defense Receives a Bad Blow in
Their Admission.
PHILADELPHIA, April 18.-When court
opened for the third day of the trial of
x-United States Senator Quay, there
was indication on all sides that the cru
cial point ON the whole proceedings had
been reached, namely, the question of
the admission Of the books of the bank
as evidence, and especially those docu-
ments found in the private desk of Cash
Ter Hopkins. The argument made by
David T. Watson, of counsel for Mr..
Quay, in opposition to their admission
generally, and specifically to the private
letters written by Quay to Hopkins,
which were identified by Teller Tabor,
was the subject uppermost in the public
mind. A decision in favor Of the de-
Tense virtually means the collapse of
the trial, while the admission of the
books may prove serious blow to the
defendant.
Books Decided to BE Evidence.
Judge Biddle took his seat promptly
at 10 o'clock, and after the jury had an
swered to their names, District Attor-
ney Rothermel began his reply to Mr..
Watson, urging the admission Of the
books of the bank.
Judge Biddle decided that the books
of the bank are admissible as evidence.
He stated that he was not satisfied,
however, that the fred book" was
proper testimony against Senator Quay,
since it was not found among the reg
ular bank books. It has not yet been
regularly offered in evidence, and the
question of its admissibility will be de-
cided when it is presented.

Editor Milwaukee Journal:

have found among the Democrats
no hostility toward those who wish
to- return, provided they recognize
that the Democratic party now has a
platform that is satisfactory to the
Democrats. A Democrat who comes
back merely for the purpose of fighting
against the reafirmation of the Chicago
platform will not find the party con-
genial. Those who recognized they
erred in '96 are not likely to insist upon
prominence in the party management
until they have time to bring forth
works meet for repentance. If they dc
aspire to prominence, they will have to
convince their associates of the sincerity
of their purpose to aid the party in its
fight against plutocracy.
The only unwelcome guests are those
who deserted in '96 and still claim to be
better Democrats than those who re.
manned with the party, and who demand
the surrender of the Chicago platform
as the price of their. return. Only those
who are willing to stand upon the last
platform ought to have part in the
writing of the next platform.
Yours truly,

REAR ADMIRAL ALBERT KAUrz,

j. R. Monahan of the United States
cruiser Philadelphia, were left dead on
the field. Lieutenant Monahan remained
to assist Lieutenant Lansdale and was
shot in retiring.
Two British and two American sailors
were also killed.
The natives engaged were some OF
Mataafa's warriors. They severed the
heads of the British and American Off
GERS killed. Priests of the French mis-
sion afterward brought the heads into
Apia. The manager of the German
plantation has been arrested, and de-
tanned on board the Tauranga, on aft
davits declaring that he was seen urg-
ing the rebels to fight. In a previous
engagement 81 of Mataafa's warriors
were killed and there were no casualties
among the European forces.
SAN FRANCISCO, April l3.-The call
prints the following copyrighted cable
gram from Auckland, N. T.:
On April l, $40 Of Mataafa's men
ambushed 100 blue jackets near Apia.
The fighting was terrific. the American
and British tars repeatedly beating
back their assailants, who sought to
overwhelm them by force of numbers.
Lieutenant Landale and Ensign Mon
ahan of the United States cruiser Phila-
delphia, and Lieutenant Freeman of the
British gunboat Tauranga, were killed.
After the rebels had been driven off
the bodies of the three officers were re-
covered. They had been decapitated
by the savage Samoan warriors.
Four marines were killed.
Mataafa's loss was 40 killed and q
number wounded, these being carried
off the field by the rebels when they re-
tired.
The bodies of Lansdale, Monahan and
Freeman, as well as those Of those of
the unfortunate marines, were buried
with military honors at Mulinuu.
There is constant fighting with the
natives around Apia, and the life of no
European in the island is safe.

LONDON, April 13.-The dispatches to
the Associated Press from Apia, Samoa
via Auckland, NJ, were the only news
received here of the treacherous attack
made by the Matafaans upon American
and British naval forces. They created
considerable sensation in official circles
and among the general public. The
newspapers sent out large placards
printed with such startling statementsa as
British and American forces routed; ;
German treachery," etc.
The heroic conduct of Ensign Mona.
CHAN Of the United States cruiser Phila
delphia, particularly appeals to the
public. The British admiralty has re-
ceived dispatch from Captain Stuart
the senior British naval officer in Sa,
moan waters, giving the news of the
death of Lieutenant Freeman of the
British cruiser Taurangia, in "an en-.
gagement with the rebels"
Beyond this, no further details have
been received.
The German ambassador here, Count
Won Hatfield Wildenburg, first received
the news from representative of the
Associated Press. He quickly recog
nized its Importance, and asked permits
sion to make copy of the dispatch
He said:
''This news is indeed grave, and it il
unfortunate at this moment that any.
thing should occur to endanger the ne.
gotiations for the settlement that we
were glad to feel would soon have ar.
rived. Of course, I cannot discuss the
particulars given in the dispatch, but
the occurrence is certainly very unfor.

WHEATON AFTER FILIPINoS.
Driving Them Back From the american
Right Flank.

MANILA, April Is. $40 p. m.-Gen-
eral Wheaton started at daylight, with
the Tenth Pennsylvania and the Second
Oregon regiments and two guns to drive
the rebels from the American right
flank, between the railroad and the foot
hills. He met with slight resistance
near Santa Maria, and had one man
wounded. But the enemy bolted when
shelled by the artillery, and burned and
abandoned the town of Santa Maria,
where 1000 rebels were reported to
have been concentrated. During the
rest of the day the enemy was in full
retreat towards the mountains, burning
the villages behind the retreating
forces. Occasionally few of the rebels
dropped to the rear and fired at the adj
vancing American troops from the
jungle, apparently with the idea that
this would check our advance and cover
the retreat of the Filipinos. But find
ing these TACTICS Intellectual, these rebels
scrambled aiSar the main body. The
American guard along the railroad has
been materially strengthened, and it is
not likely the rebels will succeed in get
ting in the future at as close quarters as
they did Tuesday, even if they return
from the mountains.
WASHINGTON, April 13.--The follow
ing cablegram has been received from
General Otis:
Yesterday in the lake region, Law
ton pursued insurgents eastwards from
Santa Cruz, dispensing them. Captured
all the larger vessels used in the lake
trade, and Spanish gunboat. He is now
endeavoring to pass them from river,
where concealed, into lake.
Wheaton drove enemy 10 miles to
eastward of railway line of communi
cation with. Malolos. Lawton's and
Wneaton's casualties few and slight as
enemy made no stand.
Notified by Spanish executive that
he will evacuate Mindanao and Polo

Mayor of New York Would Establish a

NEW YORK, April 13.-Mayor Van
Wyck sent a message to the municipal
assembly in which he said:
ut is in the interest of the city of
New York, that the municipality should
establish and maintain a plant for sup
plying gas both to the city and its in
habitants. Municipal ownership of gas
plants is not a matter of experiment.
Such plants are in successful operation
in cities in this country and in Europe.
I am credibly informed that such a
plant can be maintained so as to yield a
handsome profit to the city and at the
same time supply the public at the rate
of about 70 per / ZOO feet"

Arrest Cf Gelman Subject by
Britis,l Authorities a Serious
Feature.
The Sensation Caused in London
Fuiy. as Great as at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The news
from Samoa was received here with a
feeling approaching dismay. There
was refusal on the part of the higher
officials to discuss the sad event. The
secretary Of the German embassy called
early in the day upon Secretary Hay.
Neither official would disclose anything
as to the nature of the exchange that
took place.
The arrest and detention by the Brit
ish naval officials of a German subject
is one Of the most dangerous features Of
the controversy. 1t is said that the con-
suls of the three powers stationed at
Apia claim extra-territoria jurisdiction,
involving the right to try the subjects
of their respective countries for any Of
lenses alleged to have been committed.
Under this practice the German consul,
Rose, may demand the surrender of the
German subject. If the man is guilty
it is considered improbable that the
British will yield unless upon some
adequate guarantee that he is to be Suf-
fciently punished. 1t is not believed
likely that Rose will make such promise.
1t is believed that Admiral Kautz, with
the cooperation of the British, will con
tinue his efforts to bring the bring the
rebellious natives to terms. This is moi
likely to be an easy task, in view of the
small force at his command, but it Is
possible the British government may
accept the proposal of the authorities
OF New Zealand, TO send a regiment OF
soldiers to Samoa.
No protest thus far has been lodged
at the department against Admiral
Kautz
