BROOKLYN EAGLES" OPINION

From the Brooklyn Eagle. Indepen-
dent Democratic, we quote:
No man in the presidential Office
was ever more scrupulous i'll his con-
duet of the peoples business; no man
in that exalted Office ever had nicer
sense of its properties. No man was
ever nearer the hearts of the common
people than William Mckinley
American diplomacy in China has had
in it no element of either militarism
or Imperialism, but it stands today as
an example to the world of what plain
speech and direct methods can accom-
plish in the intercourse of nations. 1t
is but link in the chain of the adj
minstration' achievements. 1t APP
peals to all classes as a substantial adj
vance of the republic in the pathway
Of progress and civilization. From
the hour of the declaration of war
with Spain, America has taken her
proper place among the nations To
day she stands at the front. with no
entangling alliances With the des-
tiny of the enfranchised in her keep
ing, she undertakes the heavy burdens
and responsibilities which come with
grow TN and advancement. Ever alive
to her material interests, she has yet
kept steadily before her, clear as the
pole-star, the guarding principle of
duty, and no amount Of partians ran
cor, no sort of cheap political argu-
ment, no din of sophist cry and assur-
ance, no weakling reserve will stand
in the way of her enlightened progress
and commercial supremacy And be-
cause he has at heart the republics
best interests, and with an eye single
to her future greatness bent the energy
of his administration to their achieve

and the old sentiments, abating no.
thing of devotion and adherence to
the constitution, the Declaration of
Independence and all the other great
bulwarks of our national safety-be-

days of the century, will William
McKinley's name go into the history
Of his country as one of her greatest
and best beloved citizens.

The New York World says
Militarism is this In 1898 the regu-
lar army consisted of 25, 900 men. 1t
now consists of 65, 600, and there are
So, 600 volunteers besides, making 100,
900 in all. = We are glad to know that
militarism, as developed by the
United States is no worse than this.
We have an army strictly limited to
the needs of the nation. 1t numbers

900. 900 not too large a force even if
there were no instruction or foreign
complications on hand Militarism
has been held up as system by which
national soldiery continually threa-
tens personal liberty and popular
government. But it seems that it is
nothing more than an army just big
enough for the absolute needs of tine

The Werld is entitled to the thanks
of the public for the information so
frankly given relative to militarism',

New York and Newport society. He was
of an old Massachusetts family, and In
herited q very large fortune. He married
a famous beauty, Miss Flossie Green, Of
Rhode Island. She died a few years after
the birth Of their only child.
In 1888 society was apprised Of his enc

Washington. Invitations to the wedding
were sent out, but at the last moment
the engagement was broken Of by Miss
Claggett, for what cause was never

Romdmee of a millionaire Youth.
Young Henry 1avemey Heir Wealth Engaged
Beautiful Young Society Belle Before s School

OF all the young men at Yale who are
up to their eyes in work, none is looking
forward to the graduation exercises next
month with greater eagerness than
Henry o. Havemeyer Jr., one OF the
wealthiest of them all.
Many eyes will follow him, and the
other members Of the senior class as they
step forward to receive their diplomas;
but the secret of the stalwart young
Havemeyer's agitation is that one pair
of those eyes viii belong to Miss Char
Iotte Whiting, Of Newport, who will be-
come his bride before next winter
Fashionable society has long been
aware that these fortunate young people
loved each other, and is waiting to ex-
tend It's congratulations when the for
NAL announcement of their engagement
is made after Mr.. Havemeyer Is gradu-
ated from his university.
Rich as he Island he inherits a goodly
share of the millions his family has
made out of sugar-he is not denied the
satisfaction of being loved for himself.
Miss Whiting has a fortune of her own
large enough to enable her to marry
penniless man and still enjoy all the
luxuries to which she has been accus-
toned. Her income is $4,000 year.
That 1t ia love match on both sides
and that Mr.. Havemeyer and Miss Whit
ing are at the dawning of the romantic
age-these considerations are stimulus
to the feelings of interest with which So
ciety would under any circumstances
look forward to such an important we'd
ding.
In view of this event, which will take
place in the fall, Mrs. Theodore Have
meyer, the prospective bridegroom S
mother, has abandoned her intention OF
going to Europe for a long visit and will
reopen her Newport villa. Her daugh-
tiers will be her guests for the season

could not fix 1t into associa ton with any

While Weltwerter was mixing his in

the theft OF his Amati by the critic, I was
closely examining the writing. 1t clearly

Of the brewer, said that these things
indicated that the burglar was man of
education, trained singer of a baritone

the technical side of music, and that
otLer indications showed that he was
familiar with the interior of the house
and Its habits and customs. Said I:
This is no ordinary burglar. Mr.. Welt

be clews to his detection and should
enable you to settle on some one or more
persons TO be suspected. In fact said I,

Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is medicine

use are marvellous, because it cufes the causes
which undermine the womanly health and strength.
1t regulates the periods, dries the drains which

in her beauty; ip mooth cheeks, bright eyes, rudy
lips and rounded throat
But there Is woman on the wall watching; a
shadowy woman with thin cheeks and wasted hands
The young wife does not see the woman on the
wall. If she did she would only smile at the
grotesque shadow-picture. How can shadow so

In that worn and wasted shadow of woman On

throat grow lean. The changes which marriage
often makes In women are matters of common note.
