The good filth of this government Is Involved. We should not talk of annexation until Ihe t’uhans nsk us to annex them.” One result of the troubles In t’uba and the apparent Inability of the peo ple in innlntaln a stable government, Is renewed agitation or the proposition to withdraw the. treaty ceding the Isle of l’lnes to Cuba and declaring that Island to be American territory. Sen ator Spooner, who Is one of the Influ ential members of the committee on foreign relations, refused to discuss this phase of the case. HUGHES IS STUMPING. WESTERN NEW TORN Canandaigua. X.

KAPLAN, 113-115 Whitehall Street The droll little sketch entitled “The Harp of a Thousand Strings'* ap peared muny yea in ago In n New Orleans newspaper. While Jonhua 8. .Mori Im Is generally credited with the authorship, the claim* of other* have been advanced from time to time, and the authorship appear* to be almost iim cloudy a* the Identity of the writers of “Laugh nnd the World Laughs With You,” ‘Vasey at the Bat,” and ”lf I Should Die Tonight.” But, however cloudy may bo the Identity of the author, there I* no sug- gextlon of hnxlnexn about the humor which Invest* the sketch Itself. “The Harp of a Thousand String*” had scarcely more than attained the digni ty of print when It was pounced upon by nearly every elocutionist nnd chronic story teller In the country. Hundreds of. newspaper* reprinted It, and In England It was frequently quoted as an admirable example of the American humor. All thin popularity was too much for It, however. Gorged with pros perity, It lay down to a Hip Van Winkle slumber from which It has Just l»een awakened for the readers of The Hcrap Book. Like Rip Van Winkle, “The Harp of a Thousand String*" And* that during It* long sleep one of It* old friend* ha* passed away. This Is the quaint old exhorter who. combining business with theology, was so common In the Houth half a century ago. Hometluies ho was a peddler, a patent medicine man.n light ning rod agent, or, like the old fellow pictured In the *ketch, a Missis sippi llat boat captain In search of a cargo, or with liquor to sell. I limy say to you, my brethrlng, that I am not an edlcated man, nn' I am not one of them a* believe* that edten- tlon 1* necessary for a Gospel-minis- ter, for 1 believe the Lord edlcnte* HI* preacher* Jest a* He wants ’em to be edlcated; an* although I say It that oughtn't to say It, yet In the state of lndlanny, whar I live, thar^ no man as gets bigger congregations nor what 1 git*. Thar may be some hare today, my brethrlng, as don't know what persua sion I am uv. Well, I must say to you, my brethrlng, that I'm a Hard-shell Baptist. Thar's some folks ns don't like the Hard-shell Baptists, but I'd rather have a hard shell as no shell at nil. You see me here today, my brethrlng, dressed up In fine clothes; you inout think I was proud, hut I'ain not pnmd„ my brethrlng, ami although I've been a preacher of the Gospel for twenty years, an’ although I'm captlng of the flat boat that lies at your landing, I’m not proud, iny brethrlng. 1 am not gwlne to tell edzartly whar my text may tie found; suffice to say. it's In the led* of the Bible, nnd you'll find It somewhar between the first chapter of the book of Generation* and the last chapter of the bo4>k of Revolu tion*. nnd ef'you'll go and search the Scriptures, you’ll not only find my tex thar, but a great many other texes ns will do you good to read, and my tex. when >*4*\i shall find It, you shall find it to reau thur.: » “And he played on n harp uv a thou sand strings, sperlt* uv Jest men made perfeck." My text, my brethrlng. leads me to speak of sperlt*. Now, thar's a great many kinds of sperlts In the world— In the fuss place, thar's the sperlts as some folks call ghosts, and thar's the sperlts as some folk* call liquor, an* I've got as good nn artlkel of them kind of *|>erlt* on my fiat boat a* ever wo* foteh down the Mississippi river; but tbur's u great many other kinds of sperlts, for the tex says, “He played on a harp uv a t-h-o-u-s-and strings, sperlts Uv Jest men made perfeck.” But I tell you the kind uv sperlts as I* meant In the text Is firt. That's tfie kind uv xperit* as I* meant In the tex. hmUiHnr Now. thar's A great many kinds of fire In the world. In the fuss place, there’s the common sort of fire you light your cigar or pipe with, and then thar's foxfire and camphlre, fire before you’re ready, nnd fire and fall bark, and many other kinds uv fire, for the tex says, “He played on the harp uv a thousand strings, sper lts of Jest men made,, perfeck.” 1 But. I'll tell you the kind* of fire as Is meant In the tex, my brethrlng—It's hall fixer nn' that’s-the kind uv fire as a great many uv you'll come to, ef you don't do .better nor what you have been doin'—for “He play^jt on a harp uv a thousand strings, sperlts uv Jest men made perfeck." -Now, the different sort* of fire In the world may he likened unto the different K rsuaslons of Christians In the world. the first place, we have the Piscapu- llons. an' they are a high-sailin' nnd highfalutin' set, and they may be lik ened unto a turkey buzxard that files up Into the air. and he goes up, and up. ami up, till he looks no bigger than your finger nail, and the fust thing you know, he cum* down, and Is a-fillln himself on the carklss of a dead hose by the side of the road, and "He played on a harp uv a thousand strings, sper lts uv Jest men made perfeck." And then thar's the Method!*, and they may be likened unto the squlrrll runntn' up Into a tree, for the Metho- dix beleeve* in gwlne from one degree of grace to another, and finally on to perfection, and the squirrel goes up and up, nnd up and up. and he Jumps from limb to limb, and branch to branch, nnd the fust thing you know he falls, and down he cums kerfiumlx. and that's like the Mcthodls', for they Is allers fallen from* grace, ah! and “He played on a harp uv a thousand strings, sperlts of Jest men made perfeck.” And then, my brethrlng, thar's the Ifciptlst, a!)!, and they have been llkepgd untp a 'possum on a 'slmmon .tree, and thunders may roll and the earth may quake, hut that ’possum clings thar still, ah! and you may shake one foot loose, and the other's thar, and yotf may shake all feet loose, and h^' laps his tall around the limb, and clings, and he clings furever. for "He played on the harp uv a thousand strings, srtrits uv Jest men made perfeck.” 'GRAND MATINEE TODAY—TONIGHT.
