Reaches Harbor In Bad State After
 Striking Rock.
 Belllngham, Wash, Sept. s. - The famed cruiser Boston, whose iron mes sages helped to spell out the doom of the Spanish fleet at Manila, lies here listing and waterlogged, helpless as n mortally wounded Ieviathan.
 Dangling from her sides, swung out ready for instant use, are all her life boats, provisioned and manned, ready for the quick, sharp alarm of "Shlp sinkingr'
 Aboard are 800 men, haggard and listless after night and day of tre- mendous physical exertion. These men of the United States navy have saved the vessel by maintaining a bucket brl. gade system that in thirty hours did not pause and by propelling the great pumps that could no longer be worked by steam.
 AS result of striking Peabody rock in Rosario straits the Boston Is yirtu- al wreck. That she ever made port, WILL StNtn Ol hST hooh' ed and a seam In her hull three feet long, is the marvel of all who are ac' qualnted with the facts.

INSURGENTS GAINING.
Cuban Rebellion Becoming Stronger In the Provincial Country Districts.

the Provincial Country Districts.
 Havana. Sept. 5.-The surrender of some of the more vigorous insurgent leaders in the provinces of MatanZas and santa Clara and the coming in of a scattering few insurgents in response to the governments proffer of amnesty is vastly more than offset by the insur- gent sentiment looming stronger daily in the country districts of the prov inces of Havana, Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara and which now is report ed to be gaining headway in Santiago, but more especially in the districts where the insurgents are operating.
 The Constancia Sugar company, an American corporation, having q plan tation near Cienfuegos, has filed Il claim against the government for damages for live stock taken and prop erty injured. The state department has conferred with Consul General Steinhart regarding the matter.
 The hopes of those who tentatively suggested a project of mutual conces- sion us n means of ending the rebel lion were shattered when President Palma called General Cebreco, one of the proposed peace commissioners. to the palace to inform him that the gov ernment had no concessions to offer or accept and no intention other than fighting the matter through.
 It is said to be absolutely beyond question that the inner circles of the government have about reached a ten tative understanding that If the gov ernment Is unable to control the lnsur- rectlon by Sept. 15 1t will ask for the assistance of the United States.
 What Is beginning to disturb busi- ness interests more than anything else is the increasing evidence that tobacco planting. sugar cultivation and crop preparations will begin so late as to be ruinous to the coming winters crops. The planters see no prospect either of getting men to do their work or of bor- rowing money for developing the crops.
 President Tomas Estrada Palma in pectation that he would make any con sessions whatever to the rebels be- yond the offer of pardon already ex- tended. The president said he could not possibly make such concessions ei- ther now or hereafter and could not see in any event what the government could ofrer beyond what had already been done. American intervention, the president said, had not been considered because the government believed 1t could end the lnsurrectlon without as-  sistance.

APPLE EXHIBIT NEXT YEAR.
Prizes will be Awarded Garrett Coun-
tianS at Show to be Held
in Oakland.

State Senator w. McCulloh Brown,
since the recent meeting of the Mary
land Horticultural Society when the
Garrett county apple growers carried
OFF SO many prizes, is greatly elated and
Is more convinced than ever that more
and better apples can be grown in the
hills of this county provided the farm
ers will take the matter in hand and
endeavor to improve their orchards by
planting new trees and grating stan
dard fruit on the old ones.
In order to arouse more interest in
apple culture Mr.. Brown is already
planning for an exhibit of Garrett county
fruit to be made in Oakland next fall,
when not less than eight specimens of
the same variety of apples will be enter
ed in the competition for the prizes
awarded Mr.. Brown as an individual by
the Horticultural Society, amounting to
$1,000.
The REPUBLICAN will place at Mr..
Browns disposal an additional So to be
awarded to the successful competitors.
The exhibits to be made in Oakland
will be taken to Baltimore and there
exhibited at the next meeting of the
Horticultural Society, so that competi-
tors stand a chance of winning two or
more prizes with the same fruit.

SECOND CLASS MATTER.

Assistant Postmaster General Madden
is trying to persuade a congressional
committee that all printed matter should
be placed under one classification for
postal purposes and should pay rate
Of four cents per pound. He would
make no distinction between newspapers
and mere advertising matter This
method of solving the difficulties of the
department will not commend itself to
the great majority Of people the coun-
try over.
There will be no objection to such a
revision of the law as will put an end to
to the more fragrant abuses that have
grown up under the long series of rul-
ings and interpretations of the original
statue. The one cent rate should be re-
served for newspapers, and the defini-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-12-20

ton of second class matter should be
revised so as to exclude all the great
mass of advertising matter that cum
bers the mails and helps to produce the
seeming deficit in the postal revenues.
1t ought to be frequently pointed out
that this deficit is only an apparent one.
The vast amounts of mail matter carried
for congress and the departments free
OF charge would, if paid for at postal
rates, more than make up the deficit.
Moreover congress can at any time it
chooses call for revision of the enor-
mously eXOrbitant rates paid the rail-
roads for the transportation of the
mails. One postmaster general after
another has called attention in his re-
port to this unjustifable waste of the
postal revenues, and session after ses-
sion has gone by with nothing doing in
the way of an inquiry into the justice of
existing rates.
If Mr.. Madden will drop his four cents
a pound idea and agitate for reason
able rate of carriage for the mails by
the railroads, ne will get good deal
more sympathy from the country at
large. When the rates for haulage
have been revised and the abuses of the
franking privilege abated, there will be
no postal deficit, and the second class
rate of one cent pound or 500 ton
on newspapers will be found an entirely
adequate compensation.

FIRST. GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT

He gave His only begotten Son."
The world stands upon the threshold
Of that season of the year when the
thought of christendom instinctivelv
turns to the most gladstone day in the
annals of recorded time-the birthday
of the Savior of the World.
We may not be able without finite
understandings to comprehend the
height and depth of the great plan
which came forth from the mind of the
Infinite and which comprehended tn
redemption of the entire human race.
but we find the Inspired Word this pas
sage of unmistakable import: "For God
50 loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth on Him should not perish but
have everlasting life
In those words we find an epitome of
the Divine plan. The motive and the
reason are both set forth, and while we
may marvel over what was comprehend
ed in that plan, we accept it as a great
truth and know that the emerging of
the world from darkness into light dates
from the hour when the Star of Bethle-
hem flashed across the Judean skv.
Jesus Christ was therefore Gods first
Christmas gift to a sad and weary
world. No wonder that Heavens joy-
bells rang! No wonder that the gates
of Paradise seemed to open while an
gels looked down upon the scene.
In that hour was born the spirit of
cheer, peace on earth, and good will
toward men which has never died out
during all the centuries which have
passed. There have been times when
its splendor has seemed dimmed. and

REMIT TANCES;
THURSDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1906.
INCIDENTAL LESSONS OF ADVENT
NIGHT.

Angels and Shepherds! Highest anc
lowest. May not this meeting of eX-
tremes at the manger be taken as g
sign that Jesus, His life and teachings
is the solvent which will finally bring
all classes into one. His altruism, His
love and service of others is better un.
derstood, more generally shared thar
ever since His advent.
The shepherds life was favorable tc
the vision. They were in the vast soil
tude and stiffness of nature under the
stars. The very sheep they minded
We're types of the promised Lamb.
They thought and aspired. So, as ever,
the prepared message came to the pre-
pared mind.
1t is also worthy of rote that this love
ly and enabling apparition came tc
those who were engaged in common
place work. The shepherds were in
the field keeping the night watches.
So our divinest visions of the spiritual
and heavenly will come to us while
Loyalty attending to the petty duties and
humdrum of life. And will keep our
vision only by forsaking it betimes tc
obey the call of duty-a thought charm
ingly expressed in Longfellow's LEG
end Beautiful. "
The shepherds were not disobedient
to the heavenly visions. Scarcely had
the radiant forms Of the singers faded
and the echo Of their hallelujahs died
away in the Judean hills when these
rustic men were on their way to Bethle-
hem. A like obedience on the part OF
those who receive visions of the Spirit
to-day would lead to immediate conse-
quences. As a rule, to touch the cir
conference of religion is to fly off at a
tangent. Moral earnestness on the con
trary says, LET us go and see, and
starts for the center.
With the heart man believeth, and
with the tongue confession is made.
The shepherds filled the whole region
with what they had seen and heard,
bore their testimony with such fidelity
as to produce marked effect. All that
heard wondered. 1t is not enough &c
have vision. 1t must be told. Fail
ing to witness it is to lose it.
And the shepherds returned? How
could they? After seeing angels anG
hearing their song and visiting the in
fant.Messiah, how could they come back
to the dronish work of tending sheep.
But they did. There was nothing in
their recent experience to give them Z
distaste for their humble calling or dis.
qualify them for it. On the contrary,
they were even better shepherds thar
ever before. So to-day vision may be
a most practical thing. 1t may ever
promote diligence in business as well as
fervency in spirit.

New Spelling.

Simplfed spelling will soon be more
or less interesting memory and the few
documents that have been printed in it
no doubt will become valued curios
treasured in the secret places of the
libraries of those who collect such
things. Before Representative Lands
introduced in the House Thursday his
resolution forbidding its use in any
Government publication ne had a talk
with President Roosevelt The Presi-
dent said he was more amused than
hurt by the opposition to his simplifed
spelling order and indicated a purpose
of Withdrawing the order if the House
showed clearly it wanted the old stand
ard adhered to in Government publica-
tions. The House did this in an en-
phatic manner when it passed the Ian
dis resolution, so that it is probable in
few days the attempt to reform Eng
lsh spelling by the Government will be
abandoned and the lists of 300 simplified
words will be thrown in the waste bas-
kets by all Government employees who
have had them for the last couple of
months.

HANGING THE STOCKINGS.

Christmas Eve, and the wild winds blow
Over the leagues of the frozen snow;
Christmas Eve, and the old, sweet face
Is there in the warmth of the chimney
place;
Murmuring softly a song the while,
She goes to the mantel with whisper
and smile,
Hanging the stockings there, one by
one
This for the daughter and this for the
son;
This for the littlest darling of all
Shadow by shadow they dance on the
WALL
Christmas Eve, and the house so still,
No voices ringing with throb and thrill;
No romping feet in the quiet room,
No childhood song in the tender gloom
Hanging the stockings for those who
roam,
Just the same as if they were home;
Hanging the stockings for those who lie
Under the stars and the wintry sky;
Sadly and softly, and one by one
This for the daughter and this for the
son,
Long gray stockings, and little ones,
Stockings of crimson and stockings of
blue;
Murmuring, whispering, singing, she
goes,
While round her warmly the freight
glows;
Tender and gentle and sad of face,
Just as in days of the olden grace
She watched them hanging the stock
ings at night,
There by the mantel, in shadow and
light;
Stockings for those who are far away
The old sweet mother, with ringlets Of
gray.
To this one, trembling, her lips are
pressed;
That one is crooned to, and stroEed, and
caressed-
Hanging the stockings there, all alone,
For the loved ones out to the wide
world flown,
For the unforgotten in snow-white bed,
Out in the calm of the quiet dead
Songfully, prayerfully, there by the
hearth
She treasures the dreams of their olden
mirth-
Hanging the stockings there, one by
This for the daughter, and this for the
son,
Softly and beautiful drifts to her ear
The echoing laughter she used to hear;
Tenderly there, as she leans in the
CLEANS
Of the Pickering flames there are
visions and dreams
Of the little and big, of the blithe and
gay,
On those Christmas Ewes of her yester-
day;
And so, for the sake of the old, sweet
time,
She murmurs the notes of the holiday
chime,
And, lacking them there on the mantel-
place,
A soft smile nantes her dear old face.
Christmas Eve-and the hours run bv,
There, by her stockings, to murmur and
sigh,
10 kiss each one in the freight DIM
For the sake of her and the sake of him:
Hanging the stockings with tender care,
She's hanging her heart in each one
there,
Little and big, and short and long.
With tender laughter and gentle song
Hanging the stockings there, one bv
one,
This for the daughter and this for the
