A recent Madrid diepnteh announc
ed that Admiral Montejo would be

to him. By the aame token
they won’t do a thing to Cerevra.

Cochran, Ga„ claim* the distinction
of having the oldest man in the world

The story of tbe old mao who took
to tbe loft while tbe old woman grab
bed the gun and put an end to tbe in
truding bear I* bruncht to mind by
Sampson’s claim. “We killed the
bear,” said the old man alter it ws*
over with, and “we sunk the fleet”
■ay* Sampson, coming to the scene a*
Schley was putting tbe finishing
• touches to Oetvera’* fleet. Tbe Amer
ican people will place tbe credit where
It belongs. Sampson ba* done him
self incalculable Injury by attempting
to appropriate tbe honor of Schley’s
great victory.—Columbus Enquirer.
Th* Augusta \Herald say*: If tbe
war department to put an end
to tbe siege of Santiago quickly and
effectively, then why not send down
all the southern troops at our com
mand ? They would make abort work
of the Spanish forces. Tbe fact that
they wore outnumbered three or four
lime* would make but little difference.
It take* odd* like that to get their
mettle up and arouse their intrr. , *t*
■A few brigade* of *smtbern troops un
der their own leader* would fall upon
the dons like a thunderbolt, and then
'hostilities would be over. This Isn’t
bombast. It’s logic drawn from his
tory.” .
' There ia a atriking difference be
tween tbe Astor*, William Waldorf
and John Jacob. While tbe former is
in London spending bis millions in
high living, hiring Paderewski to play
for him at 35,000 an evening, and
Melba to sing at $2,000 for each per
formance, the latter ia in Cuba fight
ing for bis country. And not only ie
John Jacob at tbe front in person, but
he ba* opened hi* pur*e and poured
out the dollars for patriotic purposes.
He ha* raised, armed and equipped a
fine light artillery battery, which ba*
Scent to serve under Merritt at
ya. Rich men like John Jacob
f are worth having in a country.
Tbe government has awarded a con
tract to a large firm of packer* in Chi

When one of these garments came
