times we were not divided about the
Cuban question, because we co::s:}dered
it as an eminently national question.
“In the revolutionary times we iso

island and made it impossible to invade
the fertile plantations of tobacco, coffee
and sugar cane, which were sheltered
by a wise defense during the whole pe

was the source of some injury to the
mother country. In those times there
was a fine organization. Patrician fam
ilies ot the old colonial and proslavery
rezime directed it, it was governed by
the most experienced men in adminis
trative affairs, a very well made con
stitution formulated its principles and
a well organized party supplied the war
with scldiers and money contributions.
And ve so well knew how to surmount
all (! stacles, by keeping the war with
in tbe narrowest limits, that, thanks to
its little importance, it could hardly be
compared with the struggle maintained
during some 80 years by the Dutch at
Sunatra.
~but we are now in an epoch when
there is Dlowing over Europe the wind
of a maniz for territorial extension.
Canovas del Castillo left to us on the
day of his Qeath the Cuban question
submerged in a pool of tears and of
blood. In Europe the climate is neutral
between the combatants, while in Amer
lca it fights against us in favor of our
€uemies,

the greater number, decisive in all seri
ous fights, is in Cuba generzlly impo
tent in the pursuit of rebels. It is indis
pensable at first to get acclimated, to
adapt oneself to the surrocunding condi
tions, to possess a colonial army consti
tuted on the basis and the model of
those heroic Cuban volunteers and the
Philippine militias, which were so use
ful recently in sustaining our tropical
wars, where new soldiers are marching
like sheep or running like shadows.
There is no doubt that our Cuban war,
which must and will end in the victory
of the peninsula over its ungrateful col
onists, would have avoided numerous
evils and had a less acute phase if in
stead of transporting from the old world
into the new an agglomeration of sol
diers such as history has never before
chronicled we had confined ourselves to
guarding our villages and opposing with
intrenchments and other defensive
works an impassable barrier to the reb
els who were tempted to pass from the
sterile regions of the eastern part of the
island ‘to the more fertile ones of the
western part.’’

HANNA’S SISTER MARRIES.
Young Groom Goes to the Ordinary in Per

A special from Thomasville, Ga., to
the Coustitution says: "The marriage
this afternoon &t 6 o'clock of Miss Lil
lian C. Hanna, a sister of Senator Mark
Hanna, to Mr. S. Prentiss Baldwin,
a young attorney of Clevaland, 0., has
attracted wide attention.
The bride and groom, accompanied
by a sister ot Miss lanua, Mrs. Pick
ands, arrived here on Saturday and
were driven to Elsoma, the palatial
country home of Mr. J. Wyman Jones,
of Englewood, N. J., who married a
sister of Senator Hanna. On Monday
the young man came to town, inquired
for the ordinary’s office and called up
on Judge Montgomery, ordinary, in
person for the necessary license. He
seemed to regret the publicity being
given to the marriage, and frankly
said that it was owing to the disparity
of the ages of the parties. Miss Han
nais reported to be forty-five, while
the groom issaid to be but twenty
eight, and he looks several years

RELIC OF PAST AGE.,
A Centary Old Newspaper That Is 80-l
markably Well Preserved. ‘
Mr. Glenn Brown, the architect, has
an interesting relic in the shape of an
old newspaper, probably one of the old
est publications to be found in this
country. It is The Virginia Gazette
and Alexandria Advertiser, published
in Alexandria. The copy is dated Thurs
day, April 25, 1793. The motto of the
paper, which is printed under the title,
is as follows:
O thou by whose almighty nod the scale
Of empires rises or alternate falls,
Send forth the saving virtues round this land!
There is no mention made of the
names of the publishers or editors, but
an advertisement, which is inserted,
asks for rags, old seines, fishing nets
and the like to be brought to the office,
so that paper can be made from it.
From this it would seem that the firm
manufactured its own paper.
In the news columns, which form but a
small portion of the paper, the adver
tisements covering a greater part, is a
dispatch dated London, Feb. 25 pre
vious, giving an account of an insurrec
tion in Ireland. There are also publish
ed Paine’s reasons for preserving the
life of Louis Capet. The plan of the
new French constitution is given and
a number of dispatches from Paris ap
pear.
One of the most interesting advertise
ments in the paper is that of a lottery.
It states that it will be given by the
commissioner appointed to prepare the
public buildings, etc., within the city
of Washington for the reception of con
gress and for their permanent residence
after the yeay 1800. Samuel Blodgett
was the agent for the affair in this city.
The capital prize was a hotel, with all
furnishings, valued at $50,000. There
were cash prizes of $25,000, the whole
amounting to $350,000. The lottery,
by the way, was never held, as much
opposition was developed against it.
Samuel Blodgett was the one whose
beirs claimed a large portion of the na
tional capital.
There are several advertisements for
runaway slaves, offering rewards of
from $6 to $l6. There is an offer of a
reward of §4O, which would seem large
compared witk those offered for the
runaway slaves, for eight bushels of
clover seed, stolen from Mount Vernon.
The advertisement goes on to state that
the clover seed was stolen from the
granary and is supposed to have been
taken by negroes. It is signed by An
thony Whiting, who was Washington’s
overseer.
There is an advertisement in the pa
per of the celebrated horse Eclipse, from
which many of the thoroughbred horses
of the present day have descended.
There is also an advertisement of the
opening of the city tavern at the sign
of the ‘“‘Bunch of Grapes’” by John
Wise. The statement is made that
northern and southern mails will arrive
at the office until Nov. 1 on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 p. 1.
On_one of the pages is a song com
posed for Lodge No. 10 ““‘of Charles
town,’’ commonly called Portobacco.
The paper consists of four pages of
four columns each. The size of the
sheets is about 12 by 18 inches. The
paper was published Thursdays of each
week. The ¢’s were all like f's. The
paper bhas been remarkably well pre
served.— Washington Star.

The Haggard Specific Comp'y
‘
Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth $2.50, to anyone who may
have used as ruch as one box of their
tablets without decided benefit. We
have never heard of a single case where
the tablets have failed togive satisfactory
results, and if there is a person to be
found who has used them without bene
fit we want to know who he is and where
to find him. They never fail to cure
kidney and bladder troubles and affec
tions of the gential organs and overceme
all debility and weakness in both men
and woraen, They improve the appetite,
aid digestion and assimilation and over
come constipation. They have vital ef
fect on all of the secretory organs and es
tablish a healthy condition of the mu
cous and gland secretions in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi
tions of the capillaries and secure per
fect circulation of the blood, so that ev
ery organ is supplied and every function
‘is normal and healthy. Being the only
‘remedy ever compounded that fully
meets the logical physiological conditions
of the human system, it is no wonder
that they give resnlts unknown to medi
cal science. No matter if the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are
superior to all known remedies, Their
effect on the nerve centers is a complete
surprise to physicians who have used
them. Cases that have baffled ihe skill
of best physicians and no remedies seem
ed to benefit have been promptly con
trolled and vermanently cured by the
Tablets. Cases where injections of
morphine have been resorted to as the
only means of even temporary relief have
been promptly controlled by the Tablets
and the trodible completely overcome by
their use. Price: one box $l.OO, three
boxes $2.50, This wondeful remedy is

FLOUR ADULTERATION.
Something in Which Every Reader of The
News is Interested,
Ou account of the high price of wheat
flour is being greatly adalterated. Near
ly all the mills are putting fr.m 20 to 30
per cent of meal in their flour. The Obe
lisk people now frankly admit that a
goodly per cent of their flour is meal.
A flour and meal mixture bakes a very
white biscuit, but for a genuine wheat
biscuit, not s» white but with all the
rising, sweet and baking properties due
a good flour, is combined in the Famous
Spotless now on sale by all the leading
grocers of Dawson,
Parties selling this flour offer a reward
of 850 00 for every sack containing any
meal whitever. Another inducement to
get the trade educated to using gennine
wheat flour is a ticket found in an oc
casional sack which entitles the bearer to
a free sack of Spotless trom the grocer of
whom it is purchased.
Novel Grounds for Divorce.
W. “I. Richardson of Denison, Tex.,
has brought suit for divorce from his
wife on rather unique grounds, They
were married in 1857, and lived together
until 1895, when she left him. Her rea
sco for going was that before she married
him she had loved another, who had died.
The longer she lived with Richardson
the more convinced she had come that
one who had loved once could not love
again, and she left her husband. after
thirty-eight years of married life, on this
account,
Spotless flour is not the whitest, but
the best and sweetest and only flour on
