fills its promise and withdraws.
Already along the blue line OF sol
diers the songs of home are being
sung; within sound of where the
Maine and her heroes sleep in the
oozc, the seamen on the ships OF
the republic are singing Sweet
Home.
Whatever may succeed in the
years to come, this history is fin
ished now.
1t is worth all that it has cost.
1t is a page of completed history,
and the splendor of it causes all
the great achievements of all other
great nations, since the beginning
of the world, to seem mean and
poor by comparison.
1t gives to the great republic
new grace and majesty; it gives
to the Monroe doctrine a new
meaning and dignity; it gives to
the flag of the republic splendor
which dims all the eagles and
standards of Rome, even when
Rome in her mightiness ruled the
world"

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplex
the wife who sees maternity before her.
IF she is treading an untried path, she
sometimes frets herself into a nervous
condition which is injurious and pros
trating. II motherhood has already been
a painful experience she is apt to shrink
from the coming trial and by her very
mental anxiety increase the possibility
of her suffering.
There is no cause for anxiety for those
prospective mothers who use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t tranqulizes
the nerves, encourages the appetite, in
duces refreshing sleep and produces
mental cheerfulness as we'll as physical
vigor. 1t gives strength and muscular
elasticity so that the baby's advent is
practically painless. 1t is the best tonic
for nursing mothers.
rI am so thankful for what Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has done for me" writes Mrs.
John T. Smith, OF SLOGAN, Brit. Col, Box 50. 1t
helped me through the long months before baby
came and 1 have big, strong baby girl, the
most healthy of the three, aud it cured me OF
disease which was taking away all my strength"

NEVADA.
CUBA.


carefully read by every person in
the land:
when on Tuesday next this
means last Tuesday, the United
States turns the island of Cuba
back to the rule of its own people,
Withdrawing its sovereignty; furl-
ing the flag of the great republic
and giving with its retiring guns,
a solemn salute to the flag of what
is to be a new republic, all civil;
lied nations will be thrilled. No
other such magnificent spectacle
has ever been witnessed through
all the rolling ages of the past, no
other such stately history has ever
been written; in no other instance
have the effects of the workings
OF free government upon a nation
been so manifested to wondering
world. When years of cruelty on
the part of old Spain eliminated
in the destruction of a friendly
warship of the great republic, and
her devoted crew. in the harbor of
Havana-a destruction which had
all rhe sinister features of a mon
slrous assassination; and when a
public opinion, which could not be
restrained, demanded the aveng-
ing of that tragedy in a manner
which should be forever a notice
to the nations of the earth that
the American flag and American
citizenship were things which the
world, to its remotest bound, must
respect; even while from every
State and Territory was heard the
ominouS, measured tread of the
volunteers pressing forward to a
common center, eager to take part
in a bloody vindication of the in
suited majesty of the flag and the
barbaroIs murder of American
sailors; the Senate of the United
States spread upon its records a
notice to mankind, that no lust of
conquest was behind the tremen-
dous movement, and coupled with
1t was a promise that, when re-
deemed, Cuba should be given
back to her own people.
At this the minions of kings
sneered; the worlds diplomats
doubted; hostile press scoffed
through all the lands of Latin
America there were tremblings,
lest indeed the Great Republic
was about entering upon career
of absorption, which under one or
another excuse would never cease
until the continent should be sub
dued.
That was but four years ago. A
short but decisive war succeeded,
in which the arm of Spain was
broken on land, while on the sea
her fleets disappeared in flame and
wreck and the flag of the repub-
lie took on glory indescribable.
The war over, millions of
wretches were found starving, the
republic fed them; thousands were
found sick, the republic built hos
pitfalls and supplied them nurses,
physicians and medicines. Every
city was breeding place for the
pestilence; the republic compelled
their sanitation and forced the pes
thence to poise its black wings
and fly away. Tens of thousands
of children were growing up in
ignorance, for these schoolhouses
were built and teachers sent to
them
The rule of violence and dis
order was crushed and an exam pie

CAROLS Win Two Games From the

PORTS IN GEN ERAL

Carroll Institute played a three-game
match with the bowlers from the South
Washington Business Mems Club last night,
the contest resulting In two more vic
tories for the CAROLS, South Washington
getting the odd game. The match was full
Of brilliant plays, and the Business Men
were well to the front in good scores, losing
in the first game by small margin and by
one of the biggest losing games of the year
In the second. In this game the CAROLS
broke the seasons record, running 972. This
was the one uninteresting game of the
series, the Business Men, while getting
fair score, being long way-behiuG their
opponents. The visitors Won the last game
by a few pins, and the CAROLS were just
a wee, bit surprised at the result, the South
Washington lads having been so frequently
defeated that any other kind of a result
was not expected. But these men from the
south side have put UP one Of the bravest
fights in the history Of the league, playing
a steady game in the face Of almost con-
slant defeat. Away from home they bowl
good tenpins. and their low standing and
poor record can to a great extent be traced
to the poor alleys on which they bowl when
at-hone. go

record by making big scores in every game.

Manager Lotus Signed Clever Right
FEEDER in Chicago Yesterday.
Washington base ball enthusiasts received
with delight the news from Chicago that
Manager Lotus Of the Senator's had signed
Right Fielder Jimmy Ryan for the coming
season. Manager LOTUS met President
Postal in Chicago yesterday by appoint
ment to arrange spring plans for the Sen
ators, and after short conference 1t was
decided that the club would take its early
work on the home grounds should the
weather permit. Capt Delehanty advised
this course, as he thinks this city is as
good as any within radius If 500 miles
for early work.
After the conference Manager LOTUS ran
across Ryan in Comiskey's Office and deal
was quickly fixed up. Ryan named a stiff
price in the way of salary, but LOTUS de-
cided on having the veteran at any figure.
Jimmy Ryan came into prominence while
playing with Capt. Anson on the Chicago
team, and has always been considered one
of the best f1elders and batsmen In the
business. His age has nothing to do with
his work. as he Is Of the Van Haltren
stripe, always taking good care of himself
and never going backward. Last season
Ryan dropped out Of the Nation League to
run club In the Western League, acting
as manager-captain and made a good-stzed
pot Of money. Owing to the disorganfzed
situation in base ball, both in the National
and Western leagues, Ryan decided to go
back into harness and signed with Lotus.
He kept himself in f1rst-ciass condition last
season by playing frequently, and the lay
off from fast company will not hurt him at
ALL Ryan IL well liked in Washington, hav-
ing many personal friends here. and he viii
