A Day i'm the Hospital.

Our first Sabbath at the Butler Coun-
ty General Hospital was ushered in by
the sweet songs of a red breast from a
bough of the hickory tree, nigh the
front of the building. Soon after we
were greeted with the smiling face of
Miss McNickels, our night nurse. who
is kind enough to satisfy any unless
they are regular hospital buns. When
she has taken our temperature and
counted our pulse she vanishes as COM
pletely (fOr the next twelve hours as if
She had gone up in a chariot of fire.
The next incident worthy of note is
breakfast, which is good enough to sat
isfy an epicure. The next event is the
appearance of Miss Leech and Miss
Lowry, whose beaming countenances
are an index to their kind hearts, whose
great ambition seems too be to make
the patients as comfortable as possible,
and to feel at home. After they have
put the ward in order, administered the
medicine and made everybody as com
Portable as possible, they are off to some
other wards to render like services to
other unfortunate human beings who
are not able to help themselves. Last
but not least of the regular routine of
each dayis the appearance of the benign
countenance of the uperintendent,
Miss Emma J. Limberg, who calls to
see that everything is i'll order and that
everybody is as comfortable as possible,
so ends the regular routine of each day
Then comes the tiresOme part of hos
pital life, all the patients in the ward
but myself are able to get out on the We
randa or to walk around and enjoy
Gods bright sunshine and pure air.
This Sabbath morning am left alone;
first | was greeted by the smiling face
of Col O. c. Redick, who spent a few
minutes in social conversation and then
left, the balance of the forenoon was
spent in looking over the Sabbath
School lesson for May 13.
After dinner | was very agreeably
surprised by visit from two of my
daughters, who helped me pass away
the afternoon until 4 o'clock, when they
left me for home Soon after their
departure | was favored with call by
Mr.. Reiber and lady with whom | am
not personally acquainted, but whose
call was appreciated just the same, and
whose call was probably shortened by
the appearance of our genial friend,
w. c. Negley, of the CITIZEN, who
spent half an hour with us and OF leav-
ing gave us paper which we enjoyed
until the fading twilight warned us
that our first Sabbath day at the hospi-
tai was about over; so aftera reasonably
good nights rest | concluded TO tell my
friends about how | had spent the day
so while l was writing this had a visit
from the attending physician, DR.. At
well, who is a pleasant, jovial fellow
and if you want a leg taken off he can
do it as easy as you could take the head
off chicken for a Sunday dinner
will just say to the readers of the
CITIZEN that if any of you are not well
and have not got every convenience you
need at home you can get it here at the
reasonable rate of one dollar per day,
which includes all charges.

A Political Postal Thief.

Most of the administrative work
hitherto required in Cuba and Porto
Rico has been done either by officers
of the army or by experienced officials
sent out from the departments at Wash
ington. AS consequence thas gener-
ally been done honestly and well. 1t
appears, however, that some outside
appointments were made for the postal
service, and an Indiana person in need
of job was sent to sell stamps in the
Havana Post Office. The present scan
dal is the natural result
As now explained, the embezzlement
was simple When the American pos
tai service was established in Cuba,
quantity of stamps were sent over for
use there with the word Cuba" printed
across the face When the special
sramps had been engraved for Cuba
these sur-charged stamps were with
drawn and ordered destroyed. This
duty was entrusted to the Indiana poll
tical appointee, to whom the opportun-
ity was to good to be neglected. Instead
of destroying the old stamps he sold
them and put the proceeds in his pocket.
As these stamps had been officially
cancelled it was not necessary to account
for them. The sudden and large decline
in the receipts from the sale of stamps
called attention to the theft, and the
enterprising Hoosier is under arrest
The discovery, it may be remarked, was
made. by military inspector.
The Havanese are said to regard this
affair as a good joke on the United
States, whose officials turn out very
like the Spanish offici:ls to whom they
were accustomed and who were expect
ed to fill their pockets at the expense
Of the government they represented.
And this is what may be expected
generally of men who seek public APP
pointment for what there is in it. If
the administration expects to make a
colonial service that will do it and the
country credit, it will have to find
better way of selecting its employees
than by the Endorsements of State pol
iticians. s.-Phila. Times

THE AFRICAN WAR.

Sunday's papers brought the surprIs-
inc news that the Beers had abandoned
Kroonstad, and that the English had
occupied it without fight. Numerous
kopies in the neighborhOOd of hroon-
stad afforded the Beers the opportunity
for making a strong opposition. But on
the other hand military experts pointed
ont that the country behind Is so open
that a protracted resistance involved a
serious risk of the Beers retreat being
interfered with by the large forces OF
British cavalry
There We're no details beyond the fact
that Kroonstad had been occupied and
the British flag hoisted
On Monday news reached London
that Butler had moved out in force
from Ladysmith and won an important
victory, driving the Beers from the
strong positions and rugged detiles OF
Biggarsberg.
The enthusiasm displayed in London
when the news of Buffers success ar
rived clearly manifested the popularity
of the General. for the sentiment of the
country was aroused in his favor by the
recent discussion of the Spioukop dis
patches Therefore the news is hailed
everywhere with quite as much satlsfac-
tion as was the news of the occupation
of Kroonstad by Roberts the other day.
Driven ont of Biggarsberg the Beers
will have no choice but to fall back
through New Castle upon the enormous
lv strong natural Businesses of Lalngs

dominated by Majuba Hill
SOME time ago one of our naval off,
GERS invented a projectile that cut
clean hole through a 14-inch Krupp OF
Harveyized plate at the Indian Head
testing ground. The matter was kept
a secret, but at an executive or secret
session of the U. S. Senate, few days
ago, the matter was mentioned in con
nection with the price to be paid for
armor. and the whole matter was
promptly made public by the news
papers next morning. Some Senator
had leaked, and years ago it was said
in Washington that a certain Vice
President made a business of furnishing
certain newspaper correspondent with
the particulars Of every executive ses
sion of the Senate held during his term
of office.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

In tie Senate last Friday afternoon
Germany received a second warning,
unofficial, of course, that her scheme
of colonization in Southern Brazil and
dickering with Denmark for the acqul-
sition of the Danish West India islands,
if carried to a conclusion, meant war
with the United States. Senator Lodge
who is in perfect accord with the Ad-
ministration ON every important ques-
tion and who never discusses our for
eign relations in either light or jim
goistic spirit, made speech strangely
similar to the one delivered by Secretary
Root some time ago.
Mr.. Lodge was ostensibly discussing
the part of the naval appropriation bill
which makes provision for armament
and armor. He protested against stop
ping the building of ships, which would
be the effect of the adoption Of Senator
Tillman's amendment providing for
the purchase of armor now needed at
$500 and the construction of an armor
plant. His reasons for desiring more
ships and desiring them quickly is his
belief that the safety of the United
States depends on the navy.
The inference that Lodge was speak
ing about Germany's schemes was so
plain that Senator Tillman, without the
sligh test hesitation, remarked that 1t is
a we'll known fact that the American
navy is superior to that of Germany.
G. H. Gibson has been appointed P.
NJ. for Eau Claire vice Mrs. L. Stalker,

Rep. Showalter has recommended G,

In the Senate, Tuesday noon, Senator
Clark of Montana read defense of him
self and criticism of his enemies and
then resigned his seat; and that evening
the Lieutenant Governor of Montana
(the Governor being out of the state
appointed Clark to succeed himself.
Whether the 'trick" will work or not
remains to be seen.
