with solemn significance to the occa-

May we all have light and strength to

has ever been known in the worlds
history, and we shall have passed away
and been forgotten when the mex. one
recurs. May we be permitted to rise
up to the grandeur and importance of
the work before us, so that the results
and lessons of our labor may bless and
last until u descendants shall cele-
brate in a similar ann the next
centennial.
The vast and varied and marvellous

Love of Country.

In these days of rapid national
growth, when the citizen of TO-DAY is
supplanted by the youth and franchised
emlgrant tomorrow; when LOCO, 900 vo-
ters cast their ballots with no higher
motive thar compliance with a custom
or the dictates of party henchmen;
when one-fourth of our henchmen:
nave no stronger ties of residence than
aVarlce, whose strength varies with the
fluctuations of the business
world; when year by year our shores
receive the restless spirits of other
lands VINO acknowledge nc higher au-
thorlty than their own caprice; when
SO many of our youth are row1n INTO
manhood ignorant of everything save
the means of licensed ~indulgences and
frlvolity u liberty affords; when. as
partakers of the grandest political in
herltance ever transmitted from one
generation to another, we are all about
to forget the fearful responsibilities
thrust upon us in our acceptance of tht.
blessings of liberty we enjoy, it is time
to halt.

votion to its peace, happiness and per-

noble efforts, the grand achievements
of those who gave their all that we.
their dependents, might taste the
sweets of freedom undisturbed.
Let us realize that this grandest ner-
itage of earth's martyrs came to us,
not alone through the business tact
and prudent foresight of our sires, but
by years of toll and suffering, Of cold
and hunger, of want and %privation, and
by the generous sacrifice of precious
blood; and that, though it be vouch-
safed tc us through blessings of a no.

permanence to an unworthy race.

foster and protect; ours to guard from
schism, vice and crime, ours to purify,

ing place for the purest, fairest, best
Of earth's humanity.

cred by the Spanisl; General Blanco.
The same may be aid of the entire
movement.
In contrast to the Spanish fashion
was the cool, deliberate Yankee work.
The American squadron vas without
sentiment apparently. The ships went
at their Spanish opponents and liter
ally tore them to pieces. Admiral Ger
vera was taken aboard the Iowa from
the Gloucester, which had rescued him,
n he was received with a full admir-
ais guard. The crew of the Iowa
provided aft over the turrets, half max ed
and black with powder. as Cerve1a
stepped over the side bareheaded. The
crew cheered vociferously. The admir-
al submitted to the fortunes Of war
with a grace that proclaimed him a
thoroughbred.
The officers of the Spanish ship Viz
caya said they simply could not hold
their crews at the guns on account Of
the rapid fire poured upon them. The
decks were flooded with water from
the fire hose, and the blood from the
wounded made this a dark red. Frag-
ments of bodies floated in this along
the gun deck. Every instant the crack
OF exploding shells told of new havoc.
The torpedo boat Ericsson was Sent by
the flagship to the help Of the Iowa in
the rescue of the Viscaya's crew. Her
men saw a terrible sight. The flames,
leaping out from the huge shot holes IN
the Viscaya's sides, licked up the decks,
sizzling the flesh of the wounded who
were lying there shrieking for help.
Between the frequent explosions there
came awful cries and groans from the
men pinned below. This carnage was
chiefly due to the rapidity of the Amer
lean fire.

terry under a 12-inch u was blinded
by smoke n saltpetre from the tur-
ret, and his crew were driven off, but
sticking a wet handkerchief over his
face, with holes cut for his eyes, he
stuck to his gun.
Finally. as the six-pounders were SO
close to the eight-inch turret as 10

safety, the men were ordered away be-
fore the big gun was fired, but they re-
fused to leave. When the three-inch
gun was fired, the conclusion blew
two men of the smaller guns crew 10
feet from their gun and threw them to
the deck as deaf as posts. Back they
went again, however, and We're again
blown away from their stations. Such
