the troops sent to Cuba.
Sampson should have shown impatience
in his dispatches to Washington be
cause of the delay in sending him the
troops promised. He has had within
the last week ample cause for impa
tience, aye, and lor indignation, too.
He destroyed the outer forts as Santia
go and had everything ready for troops
to land, but there were no troops; he
capturtd Guantanamo Bay, and still
holds it for the same purpose, but the
j troops which ought to have been there
i to land were on transports anchored at
1 Tampa, held up by orders from Wasli-
! iugton, on account of the cock and
' hull story about a fleet of Spanish war-
j ships? being at Havana ready to steam
out and capture the troops as soon as
they started, until Sampson could de-
| inch a number ot his most formidable
j ships and send them to convoy the
I transports to Santiago. Meanwhile
Sampson’s marines hold all the Cuban
ground they have captured. Although
nothing official can be obtained, there
I is reason to believe that the troops are
now on their way to Cuba, under con
voy. The frequency with which hold
up orders have been sent trom Wash
ington when important movements were
about to be started, on no better foun
dation than wild and improbable stories,
of Spanish origin,makes it look as t hough
somebody who lias influence enough to
control the issuing ot orders has the
misfortune to have a streak ot yellow
down his backbone. It cannot be stated
to an absolute certainty who this in
dividual is, but, unless the delays have
been purposely made to prolong the
war, there is little doubt that he exists.
It is only where those in command are
out ot reach ot hold-up orders that not
able successes have been obtained.
Orders have been sent to Generals
Coppinger and Lee, who are to com
mand the Porto Rican army, to get
their men ready to start, but there is
no telling how many hold-up orders
they will have to contend with be
fore they getotf.

bat need tor him and what is lie to
dor He is to preside—to sit above oi
over, in authority. His office is that
of servant to the meeting. The meet
ing is the body to act, whose will is to
control, whose sense is to direct. The
chairman is to keep order, so that all
things needful be “done decently and
in order.” He is to see that the bus- (
iness be so brought and kept before the
meeting that the will of each and his
opinion get before the body, so that it
may be canvassed, discussed and fully
understood before being fairly voted on.
W ell, that is a good deal and how can
lie do this?
He must have a place of authority
and so use it that he can see into every
face—that lie may assign the floor to
any who may desire and be entitled to
it. His seat, therefore, must be eleva
ted above all others.
He must himself understand the mat
ter pending, and if need be should re
quire the mover to restate his motion.
He must be fair-minded and just,
and not a partizan in any matter un
der consideration. Wherefore lie can
not make a motion at all. To do so
were practical abdication.
Understanding the pending business
himself, lie must see that it be fairly
understood and not misrepresented by
any one. He must submit the matter
fairly, allowing tree discussion
parties ; for so only can the sense of

the “previous question” is not authori

the popular meeting. Parliamentary
law is for the convenience of assemblies
and not to defeat their will.

spirited horses, keeps his will impress

king each horse to fill his place and
perform his duties and not obstruct an
other. He exercises authority, as does
the chairman, for which he must have
his own high place, and the attention
of those whom he directs. Magnify

Danger From Yellow Fever.
It is safe to say that more hesitation
lias been lelt about enlisting in the
army because of the yellow fever, than
from the dangers of war. In a major
ity ot men there is the fighting instinct
and a love of adventure. Man has
been said to be “a fighting animal.”
The average man does not fear to fight,
and is willing to take his chances in
any sort of a mix-up where he has a
fair showing.
But many a man who would charge
a battery of cannon was seen to trem
ble with absolute trepidation during
our earthquake experience some years
ago. There is something uncanny
about an unseen and insidious foe
against whom a man cannot interpose
liis strong right arm, nor meet on
equal terms. Such lias been the feel
ing about yellow fever in Cuba, and
many a man who would have enlisted
in the army without hesitation or with
out a tremor in contemplating the dan
gers ot war, has been filled with dread
at the probability of sickness and death
in a foreign land, without proper nurs
ing, and with all the chances against
him. This consideration has kept many
a young fellow out of the army, or
caused him to do with misgivings and
by all dread, what otherwise would have been
a delight—Augusta Chronicle.

analysis of the characters of the so-
called self-made people, we will find
that they were blessed with certain
gifts, more or less pronounced, in their
mental make up, a person who has no
mathematical, musical or. mechanical
talent, a gift in their mental composi
tion, will never be great in tho^e
branches; nor will they willingly seek
such callings. Ninety-nine men oit
of a hundred are only great or passable
in spots or tastes, and outside of their
mental inclinations, they would be
classed ns ordinary or very common
people. A great many pass in life for
more than they are worth, while nnny
others do not pass for half they are
worth. The noisy, self-conceited, self-
inflated, self-presumptions, self-arro
gant man, will succeed in thrusting him
self upon the public eye, get office and
honors, where a more modest, .self-re
specting and self-retiring man, hut
with far more merit and brains, will
be overlooked. Nothing is truer: “On
their own merits modest men are
dumb.”

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Selt-made men, so-cailed, are not
accidents, not creatures of fortuitous
circumstances, but men who have cre
ated circumstances, and controlled the
circumstances after being made. Such
a man was Napoleon, Ceasar, and other
great generals who won fame on the
battlefield. So of other men in all the
callings ot life. They looked ahead,
they had plnhs, they had intentions,
and they had an objective point in life
they intended or desired to reach.
They did not work upon the line:
“Thy modesty’s a cradle to thy merit."
But with an ambition known only to
themselves, with a determination
hacked by industry, and a persever
ance unvaried and unshifting, worked
to one point only. Their continuity of
thought ran in but one channel. Su :-
cess could but follow when thus backed
by all which can win success.
BOOKS, COLLEGE.
It is the veriest stuff and nonsense
to think that books or a college educa
tion can develop a man. They are
but the tools to work with; for there
must be a mind, a disposition, a deter
mination and a right ambition to take
hold of those tools and use them for
all they are worth. The scholar makes
himself not the books lie studies or
the college he goes to. Nothing is
truer: “A poor workman always finds
fault with the best of tools, while a
good workman will turn out a first
rate job with poor tools.” Jesus told
his hearers where they would find the
true religion and the true church,
when he said: “The Kingdon ot God
is within you.” Not in a college of
divines, not in a church, not in a con
gregation, or a name, nor in any creed,
dogma, or confession of faith. No
church can make a man religious, no
confession offaitli can save him, unless
he exemplifies it by acts* deeds, and
doings.
SELF-MADE.
So of the college, books or anything
else, the self-made man must be in the
man himselt; and if he has good tools
to work with as a boy and holds on to
those tools as a man, he has in the be
ginning of life, the advantages of good
tools. But he must have a desire, an
ambition to add to those tools. But
he who has no tools to begin with, or
very poor ones, yet, does in time good
tvork, declares, with good tools I could
have done more and done it better.
As to the art of making money, which
many think means the greatest success
in life, and the only thing desired, it
requires but two well developed organs
ot the brain with kindred feelings in
harmony with them. A man with
large acquisitiveness and close calcula
tion, who lives up to the Iron Rule of
life: “Keep all that you have got and
get all that you can,” will be rich in
purse, but a pauper in soul, Selfish
ness, greediness, stinginess and penuri
ousness, will be his daily companions
through life.
FIRST HONORS.
The boy at school or college who
has an ambition to excel, is but a self-
made scholar. There may be in his
class boys with more brain, more
talent, and more genius, but if they do
not take advantage ot the advantages
given, the tools they have are. of but
little value to them. Self-made men
have a self ambition, a self-industry, a
self-perseverance, a self-reliance and
an objective point in life to work to
achieve something. No matter a man’s
talent3 or ambition if he loads himself
down with vices, bail habits and an
unprinciple character, he will have an
up hill struggle. His genius or talents
may aid him, hut his vices will be the
Nessus shirt he will have to wear.
Like a diseased system or body, the
result of excesses, repentance, regret,
sorrow, and self-condemnation majr
follow, but that does not cure the dis
ease whicli point to past follies. The
man with an object in view and being
true to himself, true to his aspiration,
will be a self-made man.
THE JOURNEY.
Life is at best a journey. Some are
aided on the start; some are encour
aged; and others relying alone «ti
themselves, ask but a tail- field and a
fair light in the battle of life. There
is no royal road to learning, and there
is no royal road to self-respect. Every
one makes his own character, and by
it lie will be judged. Many are satis-
tied to shine in the phosphorescent
light which glimmers from the decay
ing bones ot a dead ancestry, and tell
or boast of what their ancestors did,
but which they are unable or incapable
or never will do. They ask th it you
look into the grave for their certificate
of character.
“How poor are all hereditary honors,
Those poor possesions of another's deeds.’
"Boast not the honors of your ancestors.
They are their possessions, not yourown."

Newspapers as a Cause of W«f.
From the Springfield Republican.
Mr. Woleott, of Colorado, speaking
in the senate on the subject if apply ing
a stamp tax to newspaper packages
when Sent by express, said that the
newspapers had been a strong agency
in bringing on the war. This recalls
General Sherman's letter to General
Diomas in 1864. wherein he said that
the press had been the chief cause o(
this horrid war.” The press, he contin
ued, “has made false issues, it has kin
dled the wildest passions and kept them
alive till reason no longer even pretends
to enter into our national affairs. It
has cost us two thousand millions of
dollars, has destroyed half a million of
the finest young men of our country,
and filled the land from Maine to Louis
iana with widows and cripples.”
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. V., and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism af-
tei three years of suffering. He say a.
“I have not sufficient command ot lan
guage to convey any idea of what d
suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could bo done for me and my
triends were fully convinced that noth
ing but death would relieve me ot my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evens,
then salesman tor the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chnmberlain’s Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after I began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
now I consider that I am entirely
cured. For sale by Culver & Kidd.
