General Lee was retained as consul
general to Havana by President Nc
Kinley because the President and his
cabinet convinced themselves that un

get as we'll equipped a man to take his
place.
When General Lee left his post at
Havana, just before the outbreak OF
the Spanish war. his trip in Washing
ton was succession of ovations by
day and night. At Washington be was
greeted as the hero of the hour, and
President Mckinley took occasion more
than once to compliment him for his
ability in dealing with the trying con
ditions that had existed in Havana.
General Lee was soon commissioned
as major general of volunteers. and
after the treaty of peace returned to
Cuba, where he carried out his promise
that he would ride into Havana at the
head of American troops.

pairs, sewers, and curbing were adopt.
ed, to be completed as soon a. prac-
ticable.
Tue committee on grounds and build
ings reported that the market house

larger armory the city should buy a
lot and build one. The report was
adopted.

quired by the ordinance, was referred

system of fire protection, therefore,
Be it resolved, 1st. That it is the
sense of the council that the fire de-
partment be placed in the best possible
condition in the way of equipment;
End. That the committee on fire de-
partment be requested to consider the

The notion that tea is injurious to
people of weak nerves is altogether 9
false idea. as has been proven by the
eminent scientist, Mr.. JOnatha 4
Hutchinson. Tea is in reality nerve
nutrient and is extremely beneficial to
those of weak nerves, especially is this
so when you use tea direct from the
