Blessed be languages and books, say
the philosophers, for they enable us to
transmit to posterity the wisdom of ex-
perience. Now if men were always
models OF prudence this might be good,
but unfortunately they are not. And
so it happens that books are not an un-
mitigated blessing. The wisdom Of our
fathers is there, truly, but so are their
delusions, their rascality, and their
ignorance. In the horoscope of the
stars astrologers darkly wise once read
the fortune of men, and in the compli-
Gated criss-cross lines Of the palm some
genius discovered the destiny of human
ity. In the books we find il all-good
and bad-and believe it too. Not all OF
us, but a good many more than might
be thought in this scientific twentieth
century. Superstition is not dead,
nor the allies OF superstition
mystery and deception. 1t has been a
long time ago since astrology was voted
humbug, but only this year popular
treatise on this mystery of the stars was
printed and sold by thousands in our
own land. Palmistry flourishes-even
In Reynoldsville-and its devotees are
not the ignorant either. There's many
fine lady who anxiously views that
cline of life," and finds here cross and
there break and trembles for the mis-
haps that portends.

In every church throughout the land
the coming week there will ascend the
divine chant Of Peace on earth, good
will to men," that sublime dream OF
twenty centuries. II will be offered in
good faith, and will no doubt be devout-
iy wished for, but when we've said 1t,
we will forget it, or perhaps haye not
faith enough TO practice 1t. AS nation,
represented in congress, we will i'm
mediately vote some score OF millions TO
increase our fighting forces. Great iron
monsters will be constructed to belch
forth death and destruction. We want
"peace on earth" but suspiciously get
ready to fight. We bear good will to
men," providing they always do just as
we want them to. We are christian
nation, but keep always prepared to be-
come savage one. After all the CEN
turies Of progress, we are yet very close
to the days when the sword was right,
when might was right and the only
true peace was the peace that came
when the battles were over and its vic
Tins lay cold and unmoving.

Self Rule Near for Cubans.

With the adoption by the Cuban
convention Of the conditions imposed
by Congress, there remains now, in
the opinion o. officials at Washington,
no serious obstacles to the establish
ment of the new Cuban republic with
in a comparatively short time as gov
ernments go. The United States in
sisted, it is said, on certain fundamen-
tai propositions being made a part Of
the Cuban constitution, and now that
the convention has adopted these prop
ositions without alteration this gov
eminent will turn its entire attention
toward helping the Cubans to estab-
lish the new republic. AS to the date
on which the flag will first be flying,
there is, of course, considerable uncer-
tainty, due almost entirely to the nat
ural disposition of the Spanish-Ameri-
cans to take their time about mat
tiers. The first thing to be done is for
the convention to agree upon an cleo
toral law. This has already been
drafted and the substance OF it has
been approved by Secretary Root.

jury to Mccormack, his wife and chill
dren. The house was picked up and
carried several rods, then twisted into

against barbed-wire fence. Mrs. Nc
Cormack and the seven-year-old son
were most severely injured. The child
cannot live and the mother is in
critical condition. Mr.. Mccormack
collar bone is broken and he is badly
cut about the head, while two daugh-
ters sustained internal injuries.
A schoolhouse a half a mile away
from the Mccormack home and the
residence of Mr.. Gardner, five miles
away, were completely destroyed. Mr..
Gardner was slightly injured. The
third house to be struck was that Of
the Palmer farm, where one person
was severely hurt and much property
destroyed. The Gillespie home was
partly destroyed and two persons more
or less injured, one man having his leg
broken. Other farmers suffered losses
and many horses and cattle were killed
by lightning. The rainfall is estimat-
ed at about three inches in two hours

combination OF the piano manu-
facturers, controlling the entire output
of the country, is in process Of organi-
cation. Marc A. Blumenberg, editor
of the Musical Courier of New York,
is at Cincinnati, promoting the scheme.
Max Blumenberg claims that the pur-
pose of the combine is to reduce the
selling expenses, which are now SIS
for every piano made. He states that
while the combination will cut off a
number of hangers-on of the trade it
will materially benefit the workmen in
the factories. He will endeavor to
interest Cincinnati manufacturers in
the scheme, and states that nearly all
of the large factories have the matter
under consideration.

FERRY GOES TO THE BOTTOM.

The ferryboat Mortified, with 600
passengers aboard, was sunk Friday
night in East river at the foot of Coen-
ties slip, where it had drifted after a
collision with the Mauch Chunk. How
many persons persisted is not known,
and until reports of those missing
from home come in it will be impOs
sible even to estimate the loss of life.
Eye witnesses of the disaster tell wide
ly different stories regarding the fatal
titles, some insisting at least 100 were
drowned, others holding thirty or forty
as more correct estimate of the vic
tins, while the most conservative de-
clare the fatalities numbered only one
or two. A number of persons who
were injured were taken to hospitals,
while others were able to make their
way to their homes. 1t is known that
one young man persisted in an attempt
to leap ashore. His name is not known.
David Van Name and George II. Cop
pers, reported missing, are believed
among the victims.

All England is stirred again by the
news of disastrous defeat OF British
arms in south Africa. Lord Kitchener
cables that only fifty men out OF $50
Victorian mounted rifles escaped in an
attack by Beers. The British public is
growing impatient at the apparent
lethargy in the operations in south At
RIGA. Nearly all the reports of the
small battles that have occurred dur
ing the past two months show that the
Beers each time were the aggressors,
according to London reports, and the
British suffered more or less severely

Pretoria, and says: Near Welmans-
rust, twenty miles south of Middle
burg, $50 Victorian mounted rifles from
Gen. Beaston's column were surprised

Only two officers and fifty men escaped

taken from them and released. Two

Lord Kitchener reports is the first ac-
cident of the kind that has happened
TO the Australian contingent, and it
IS supposed to be due to neglect Of
proper picketing. More or less fanci-
full accounts are published on the con-
tinent of alleged peace negotiations,
but there is nothing in them, and
nothing has come of the interview be-
tween Mrs. Botha and Mr. Kruger be-
