Prefer Comfort to STYLE.

A newly married couple In this city,
sad TO relate, have had their first
matrimonial complication, and peace
commission Is in danger Of becoming q
necessity. The young husband says
he has no objection to his wife doing
fancy work or anything else that
affords her pleasure, and does not
dictate as to the management Of the
strictly household affairs. He does
think, however, that he should have
the right to exercise some authority
over matters pertaining to his own
wearing apparel. The other day he
went to put on a pair of stockings,
when his eve and sense Of the fitness
of things were appalled, by the appear
ance Of the toe of one of them. As
such things have way Of doing, one
had yielded to the wear of time and
hole had appeared. 1t had disappeared,
however, under his wife's care and In
its place appeared beautiful and
gorgeous bit Of silk embroidery. Silk
there was in red, green, yellow, white,
and, in fact, nearly all the colors Of
the spectrum, and in about dozen Of
the fancy stitches known to woman
kind. Then he demonstrated and sug-
gested that fancy silk would not wear
as well rs good old-fashioned darning
cotton. The reply was very sweetly
said: II know, but 1t makes them look
SO prettyw-Brockton Enterprise.

TALKS ON CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Charles Nicely Says Cuba,s Arc Pleased
with tho Now Postal Policy-Brltish
Getting Cuba's Trade.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Charles +. w.
Nicely, director Of finance for the post
Offices Of Cuba, had long conference
with Acting Postmaster General Heath
yesterday. He said to reporter that
the Cubans were much pleased with
the new post Office system, which is inn
proving daily. He said he thought it
was mistake 10 have military men
govern the Cuban people. The British,
he said, were stealing march on Amer
lean people and unless the capital
lists NJ this country moved quickly
.hey will find that some splendid mon
ey-malsing opportunities were gone for
ever. The English had bought up the
railroads and were going to extend ex-
listing lines through the provinces
which are still without railroads. I'm
less stronger effort was made to
control the Cuban trade the British
will get 1t. Another thing that
will handicap Americans, in Mr.. Nee
ly's opinion, Is that in previous
dealings with Americans the Cubans
were not fairly dealt with. Cuban
merchants did not receive anything re.
sembling the samples which were
shown them when they gave orders,
and hereafter houses in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston will find it
hard to deal with them. Fun thermore,
American firms refuse to give the
Cuban merchants long credit, altho ugh
foreigners are willing to do so.

ALL THE WAR THEY WANT.
Secretary Root Says HostliitIes Against
Fiiipinos VIII he Pushed With vigor-
Senator Burrows Explains.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 9.-The war
In the Philippines Is to be prosecuted
with vigor that ought 10 result in
speedy cessation Of hostilities. The
correspondent Of the Associated press
saw Secretary Of War Root last night
In the office Of the Hotel Champlain
Just after he had said good-by to the
president and was preparing to take
the 9:i5 train for Washington. "Will
the war in the Philippines be prosecuted
vigorously from now on?" asked the
correspondent. Mr.. Root turned on
his heel and replied: "Yes. sir, the war
in the Philippines from now on will 10
prosecuted with all possible energy.
All the men, all the arms and all the
supplies necessary to end the trouble
in the islands will be furnished at tho
earliest possible moment"
''IIow large force will be at the
disposal Of the commanding general
there?" was asked. "There will be
$4,000 men there ready for active serv-
ice ut the close of the rainy season,
about the last of October, and more will
be sent there II necessary.
AS to the rumor published in some Of
the papers that President Mckinley
and he were not agreed upon the policy
to be pursued in the Philippines, Mr..
Root said: "Of course, that is all nom
sense" When asked whether Gen.
Otis would be relieved of the command
of the American forces in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Root replied that he had
nothing to say on that point at this
time.
Regarding the Burrows Interview.
Detroit, Mich, Aug. Ex-senator Bur
rows has written letter to the Detroit
Evening Journal regarding his WASH
ington Post interview in which lie
claims his position therein set forth
has been persistcntly and deliberately
misrcprescnted. 1.-The attempt to
make it appear front that interview"
he writes, "that was hostile to the
administration will, l am persuaded,
be as futile as it is fallacious. There is
nothing in the interview justifying such
a conclusion, and nothing in fact is
further from the truth" lie says there
can be no question as to the correctness
of his statement that, IL the war in the
Philippines is not ended before the
next campaign, it would be to the dis
advantage Of the republican party.
But" he says, Il expect to see the
campaign renewed with increased
vigor and pushed to q successful con-
clusion."

Many stories are told about the
raven, bird which really seems to
have reasoning powers. One story re-
lates how raven got a young hare for
dinner. 1t pounced upon the little
animal. but the mother hare drove 1t
away. Then the raven slowly reiterated,
pretending to be afraid, until it de-
coyed the hare considerable distance;
whereupon it rose in the air, flew back
swiftly and bore away the young hare.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from
a dog. They leased him until he grew
SO angry that he chased them, and,
then the artful birds turned sharply
around, easily reached the dish before
him, and carried of the choicer bits in
triumph. As to the ravens power Of
speech, the impression is that 1t can
talk IL II will, but it is not loquacious.,
and does not like to show off like
parrot. But when 1t does speak, 1t Is
very apt to use its words more appro-
priately than parrot does.-Golden

A London paper gives this story,
which may possibly have moral con-
cealed in It for some one in our coun-
try: As well-known London clergy
man was recently ascending the steps
to his church, an old lady requested his
help. With his usual courtly grace he
gave the old woman his arm. On reach
ing the top step she halted, breathlessly,
and asked him who was to preach.
1.-THE Rev. Mr.. -" he replied, giving
his own name. "Oh dear" exclaimed
the old lady, "help me down againl
I'd rather listen to the endless grind
ing of windmill. Help me down
again, I'll not go in" The minister
smiled and gently assisted her down.

the complete report made by the Mar
quis Romano, secretary Of the Italian
embassy at Washington, on his person
al investigation Of the recent lynching
Of five Italians at Tallulah, La. The
report presents the affair in serious
light. As whole, the Italian author

as one of unusual atrocity and without
any mitigating circumstances. There
Is no effort made in the report to OBJ

five miles beyond San Fernando to-day

ipino force of 5000 men. The enemy

Filipino independence, Tin document
dated from Tarlac, July 81. and signed
by Bucncamino. II has been received
by all the foreign consuls in Manila
with the request that they forward 1t
to their respective governments. The
Filipinos use their old argument that
they had conquered the sovereignty Of
these islands from Spain before the
signing OF the treaty of Paris and,
therefore, Spain was in no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession of 10 Span
ish prisoners, captured, with their
arms, fighting against the Filipinos,
lis eloquent proof of the nullity Of
Spanish sovereignty. Us when they SUR
rendered SPANS hold was irrevocably

Case OF Alleged Reluctance and
Neglect Of Men.

Manila, Aug. 0, via Hong Kong
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans, Gen. Lawton ordered that
Capt. Otis, of the Washington regi-
inent, be relieved Of his command and
placed under arrest on account of slow
ness and seeming reluctance of the
companies under his command in obey
ing the order to disembark from the
cascoes and wade through the marshes
under fire. The men say that ma
jority OF them have been sick and unfit
for duty and were given to understand
that they would not be asked to do any
more fighting. The Washington regi-
ment is among the regiments which
had served longest on the firing line
and had good record heretofore.
