A terrible explosion has occurred at the
military laboratory in Copenhagen. While
some workmen we're engaged in filling
shells some of the shells exploded and
killed seven men and severely injured a
non commissioned officer and two work
men. The laboratory was destroyed.
A bill will be introduced at the next SEES
sion of the Georgia legislature providing
for the trial of persons accused of rape and
murder within five days after their arrest,
and if convicted the hanging is to follow
five days later-that is, within ten days of
the commission of the crime the criminal
shall be executed. This law is intended to
substitute legal hangings for lynchings.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Cuban Dispute Settled.
Gen. Brooke Directed to Begin the Dis
trIbutIon of the s3,OOO,OOO.

VI 4bsOOOsOOOs
Immediately after his return to Wash
ington Saturday evening President Nc
Kinley had a conference with Secretary
Alger, the result of which was that the
secretary cabled directions to Maior-Gen.
Brooke at Havana to proceed Immediately
with the distribution of the 81, 100000 fur
nished by the United States for the pay
ment of the Cuban army on condition that
it surrender its arms and disband. This
marks the end of the embarrassment arts
ing from the negotiations between Gen.
Brooke and Gen. Maxine Gomez, which
threatened at one time to prove serious. The
action of the President and the secretary
of war was made possible by more accurate
knowledge of the plan of Gen Brooke for
disposing of the arms to be surrendered by
the Cuban soldiers. Although the agree
ment between Gen. Brooke and Gen. Go
mez is a modification of that outlined in
the original instructions of President Nc
Kinley, it is of such a character that the
President and Secretary Alger had no
hesitation in approving it, and the direc-
tions to Gen. Brooke were sent accordingly.
Gen. Brookes plan, approved by the
President and the secretary of war, is in
substance as follows The arms are to be
surrendered to thelAlcaldes in the presence
of United States officers designated by
Gen. Brooke, and not directly to these Of
fcers, as originally directed by the Presi-
dent. The Alcaldes are then,to turn over
the arms to the American representatives
and representatives of the Cuban army
and they are to be shipped under guard to
Havana and Santiago, where they are to
be placed in the United States armories.
At the armories they will be under the inn
mediate care of armorers appointed by Gen.
Gomez, and are to be exhibited as relics of
the Cuban insurrection and Spanish Amer
lean war. In this way the Cubans will
have proprietary interest in the weapons
and will be charged with their preserva
ton, while the American authorities will
be in practical possession of them.

Postage to Be Reduced to one Cent.

The enormous increase in the number of letters
carried in the United States mails makes it GER
tain that the rate of postage must eventually be
reduced to one cent an ounce instead of two
cents. The President who succeeds in getting
such a measure through Congress will hold a
high place in the esteem of the people, but no
higher, perhaps, than the esteem in which every
body holds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This
medicine has an unequalled record in reducing
the sickness OF mankind. 1t gets at the starting
point of disease by acting upon the stomach d.
rect, helping that important organ in its duty Of
digesting food. 1t fills the blood with the rich,

THE natives as a rule, are well edu-
Gated, but a shftless lot. 1t would be a
difficult matter to get into the interior

Causes of Hysteria.

Most people do not sufficiently I'M
derstand that hysteria is a symptom
and not a disease, says an exchange.
Among the many predisposing causes
which might be named are chronic
dyspepsia, neuralgia, anemia, depress-
ing surroundings and a great mental
anxiety and worry. Sometimes hys-
terra Is due to ennui, and it is a we'll
accepted fact that it Is an affection
which chiefly attacks the upper middle
classes. Poor people have no time to
indulge in the luxury of a display Of
the emotions. When the cause a be
ascertained, the general treatment
must be directed toward its removal.
Daily exercise in the open air, the
morning sponge bath and a good quiz
nine and iron tonic are valuable aids
toward a cure. A change Of air and
scene will also sometimes work mar
wells, and in all cases the patients
mind should be kept interested and
amused.

AFTER ALExANDER's DEATH.
. New Era Introduce BY h Great
Macedonian Conqueror.

Macedonian C0nqueror.
when Alexander came upon the
scene. writes Prof, Wheeler in closing
ais Alexander TIE Great" in the ce-
.ober Century, Greece was still the old
Greece. the composite OF autonomous
cities and cantons. In this form 1t
was past the bloom, and was ripenlng
10 seed. All that the little communi-
ties could accomplish for history
through living for themselves had been
accomplished. In the miniature life or
their isolated valleys, opening to the
sea, they had developed a social sys-
TEN in which, as individual achieve
ments directly counted, and individual
responsibility was directly assessed.
personality gathered to itself unwonted
consciousness of power. So 1t a that
here man first, as it were, discovered
hlmself-frst saw with clearness the
power and the right OF the free uma
soul. Man as a base line for measur-
ing the universe, man as a source or
governing power, arose in Greece; 1t
was Greece that shaped the law OF
beauty from which came the arts or
form. the law of speculative truth from
which by ordered observations came
the sciences, the law of liberty from
which came the democratic state. This
was what the old Greece held in keep
ing for the world. Alexander was the
strong wind that scattered the seed;
again, he was the willing hand Of the
sower. When he planted seventy
cities of the Greek type on Oriental soil
he acted with plan and purpose. The
city was Hellenism in the concrete. sAs
a principle of social order, Hellenism
was the government of communities OF
men located in territory, and the source
of authority was from within; Orien-
talism was the government of territory
in which lived men, and the source OF
authority was from without. The story
of Alexander has become a story OF
death. He died himself before his
time. With his life he brought the
Old Greece to its end; with his death
the state he had founded. But they
all three-Alexander, Greece, the Grand
Empire-each after it's sort, set forth,
as history judges men and things, the
inner value of the saying. Except a
grain of wheat fall into the earth and
die, it abideth alone
