The and Stripes Will Float
Over Porto Rico-
Washington, Oct. 14.—The follow*
log cablegram baa been received at
the war department:
“San Joan de Porto Rico, Oct. 12.
Secretary of War, Washington. The
United States commission has in*
formed the Spanish commission that
the United States expects to have
complete possession of Porto Rico on
October 18th. The Spanish commie*
sion assents to this and says it is ex
pected that evacuation will be com*
plete on or before that day. If not
it will concede possession. The Uni
ted States oom mission has practically
completed the details of the evacua*
tion and the joint commission bss
held its last session and adjourned
without delay United States troops
will be placed in San Juan and the
flag hoisted at noon October 18ch.
"Brooke.”
This dispatch is very gratifying to
the war department officials and ends
all contention regarding.the possession
of Porto Rico The details of agree*
ments reached by the commissioners
have not yet been received at the de
partment, but as negotiations seem to
have progressed smoothly, it is sup
posed that the instructions of the ad
ministration to the commission have
been carried out.

A Pleasant Letter-
It takes a clever man to find a good
word to say on every occasion. It is
said of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he
once received a letter from his friend,
Prof. Edward 8. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible. Mr. Al*
dricb was not at a loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr. Morse
the following reply:
My dear Morse, it was very pleasant
to receive a letter from you the other
day. Perhaps I should have found it
pleasanter if I bad been able to deci
pher it. I don’t think I mastered any
thing beyond the date, which I knew,
and signature, which I guessed.
There is a singular and perpetual
charm in a letter of you re—it never
grows old, and it never loses its nov*.
elty. One can say every morning as
one looks at it: ‘'Here’s a letter of
Morse’s I haven't read yet. I think I
shall take another sby at it today, and
maybe I shall be able in tbo course of
a few years to make out what be
means by those t’s that look like w’s
and those i’s that haven’t any eye
brows’’
Other letters are read and thrown
away and forgotten, but yours are
kept forever—unread. One ol them
will last a reasonable man’s lifetime

An Unintentional Injustice-
Those who edit the dispatches io
Washington for the news associations
do tbe South an unintentional injua,
tics by permitting the yellow fever,
now prevailing in portions of the
states of Mississippi and Louisiana, to
be referred to always as being in tbe
South, but in only a small part of the
South From what they see in tbe
newspapers people in tbe North and
West who read ibe papers hastily, are
very apt to'get the impression that
tbe feveg is prevailing all over the
South.
It is not an unusual thing for per
sons visiting New York who live in
tbe South Atlantic states to be asked
if they are not afraid to return borne
before frost Those who ask these
questions are entirely sincere. They
don’t know whereabouts in tbe South
the yellow fever is. They have heard
or read that it is in tbe South. Hence
they think it dangerous to vist any
one of tbe Southern states, or any
part of any of them.
When officials in the office of the
head of tbe marine hospital service for
instance give out information" re
specting the progress of the disease
it would be an easy matter to name
tbe state in which the disease prevails.
By doing so tbe impression that the
fever is prevailing in all parte of the
South would be quickly corrected.
New Orleans does not look upon
the fever situation as being at all
alarming. Her leading physicians
gave it as their opinion a day or two
ago that there would not be an epi
demic of the disease and the Lousiana
board of health was asked to take
steps to have the quarantine against
New Orleans declared off.
In epidemic years the fever comes
much earlier than it did this year.
There will be scattering oases from
now on until frost but there will be
no such outbreak of tbe disease as will
ustify tbe adoption of shot gun quar*
antine to stop its spread.—Savannah

Queer Story of Two Lakes-
Tbe Wetternsee in Sweden, like so
many other lakes, has long enjoyed
the local reputation of being a bottom
less pit The Swedish scientists have
now destroyed the venerable legend,
for in the measurements taken a few
days ago, they have successfully dem*
onstrated that the greatest depth of
the lake is only 119 meters.
There still remains, however, a series
of mysteries which science most be
content to leave unsolved—at least for
a time. It is not only a legendary be
lief, but there is a quasi-scientific
ground for tbe queer supposition that
living creatures, animals and vegeta.
bles, cm, and do make jaurneys to and
fro between the high nortben lake of
Western and tbe South German Lake
of Constance. This bold conclusion
has been partly justified by tbe ap
pearance of exactly tbe same fauna,
and even of tbe samj animal life, in
tbe Swedish and tbe Swabian island
seas It is even asserted that when
there is a storm on the Lake of Con
stance tbe Lake of Wettern begins
sympathetically to roll and swell, gnd
that the southern lake is similarly
moved by any agitation in the distant
northern lake Tbe Kleine Zeitung
soberly declares this sympathetic pbes
nomenon to be a known fact, but con
siderately adds that we have to gait
some time for a rational explanation
of it.—London News.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to tbe pub
lic to know of one concern in tbe land
who are not afraid to be generous to
tbe needy and suffering. Tbe propri
etors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Cougbs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine; and have
tbe satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness
and all diseases of tbe Throat, Chest
and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call

bottle guaranteed, or price refunded.
Mr. H. A. Paas, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children, was very delicate and
we despaired of raising it. For months
my wife and I could hardly get a night’s
rest until wo began the use of Pitts’ Car
minative. We found great relief from the
first bottle.” Pitts’ Carminative acts
promptly and cures permanently. It is
pleasant to the taste, and children take it
without coaxing. It is free from injurious
drugs and chemicals.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15. 18>8.
Blacksmith Became a Lard
Tbe death of William Strati, eon
and heir of Baron Belper and nephew
of the Earl of Dunmore, who was
found dead ou Oct. 5 in the bathtub of
bis room at the West End Hotel, 81.
Louie, Mo , baa recalled some early
history of the Belper family, says a
London cable.
The first Lord Belper was a black
smith who helped Arkwright with bis
inventions. When Arkwright made
his first spinning frame he found tbe
threads twisted. Greatly chagrired.
he went lo the blacksmith, who said
be would remedy the matter on oondi
tion that be receive half tbe profits of
tbe invention for 10 years. Arkwright,
it is said, agreed to this, whereupon
blacksmith rubbed bis band over one
of the cylinders and said :
“That’s all it wants.”
He had chalked his bsnd and creat
ed a rough rurface, where Arkwright
had it too smooth.
“Absent Treatments ”
A man of tbe Christian Science
faith fractured his femur Under the
Christian Science it is united, of
course, but of course there was consid
erable shortening Some months later
a lady called at bis place of business
to sell him a book. In the course of
conversation he related bis experience,
bemoaning tbe fact that tbs one timed
injured limb was so short that he
walked with much difficulty. She ex
pressed much sympathy, but assured
him that just as Christian Science had
mended the bone, just so could it
lengthen it. She informed him that
she understood and could give him
one treatment then, and after that
give him what were called “absent
treatments.” This she did and depart
ed. A fortnight later tbe man believed
his leg was really a little longer. After
another week be was sure it was. A
week later it was still longer, and soon
afterward it was as long as the other,
and later still it was longer than tbe
uninjured limb. At last accounts the
leg was getting too long; the “absent
treatment” was still going on, and tbe
whereabouts of tbe woman could not
be ascertained.”—Massachusetts Med*,

Legal Status of Poker-
Poker has now, on a test case, been
declared a game of chance and pro
hibited aa illegal says the Vienna cor
respondent of the London Poet. Five
players were proceeded against, and
each fined 10 florins. The defendants
included two lawyers as well as tbe
proprietress of tbe case where tbe
game was being played when the po
lice made their appearance.
Tbe action of tbe authorities against
this popular game dates from 1886,
when it was decided that poker was a
game of chance. For a time tbe game
lost a good many devotees, but it
gradually regained its old widespread
popularity io the cases. Tbe disas
trous consequences of poker playing
for many of the citizens, with whom
it ba«| become a ruinous passion, led
the authorities two years ago to put
the old deciaion once more into force.
The defendants, however, were found
not guilty on appeal, and, as a result,
the gamp was played with impunity in
every public case and restaurant under
tbe eyes of the police. A few days
ago, however, the wife of a desperate
and almost ruined gambler appealed
as a last resource to tbe authorities,
and in consequence the police made a
rade on tbe case in question. One of
tbe arguments produced in defense
was that the cards used for poker were
stamped by tbe authorities and pre
pared under their supervision, and
that thus tbe state itself bad counts
uanced the playing. The decision is
to be appealed against.
A Clever Trick.
