All things considered, the

According to his own testi
mony, Chaplain Mclntyre did

This emphasizes the necessity of

The New York court of Ap
peals has decided that the sur
plus of savings banks is not
taxable. This is a very proper
exemption. The weight of tax
ation falls heavily upon the
shoulders of the poor. They pay

life, without giving up in addi
tion any part of their accumu
lated savings.
“Advertisers know the paper
that brings results,” says a New
York journal ; and the saying
can be accepted unreservedly.lt
is true that when the full re
sul'.s fail to come the cause may
lie as much in the advertising
matter as in the medium ; but
as all papers are subject to the
same conditions in that respect
the general rule that a paper
should be judged by the results
is practically as fair a one as can
be devised.

CURSED BY AN OPAL.
Opa's are coming into fashion
again , but the old superstition as
to the ill luck attending thsin is
not dead in Spain. Spanish people
believe that all tbs trials that
have eome to the reigning bones
are through the influence of a eur
sed opal ring.
The ring belonged to that famous
beauty, ths Comtease de Castig
lione.
On& of the ad nairers of this beau
ty was Alfonso Nil of Spain. Shs
thought hs was going to marry
hsr, but hedidjnot, and sbs resolv
ed on revenge. She sent him this
magnificent ring.
The King showed it to his wife,
Queen Mercedes, who was eharm
ed with its beauty and begged to
keep it, Alfonso gave it to her
readily, and she s'ipptd it on her
finger. From that moment she
I ined away, and in a few months
died.
The ring fell from hsr dead
hand, and the King gave it ts bis
grandmother, Queen Christiana,
who died a few months later,
Next the ring was given to
Alfonso’s sister, the Infaata Mari a
del Pilar, who wore it but a few
days before she died of a mysteri
ous illness.
After this series of fatalities the
King determined to keep the ring
himself, and hs slipped it on his
finger. From that moment his
health oommenaed to fail, and m
twenty-four hours he was dead.
Physicians could never quite ac
count for it, and the matter was
hushed up.

The Spaniards, however, are not

WHEN EL CANEY WAS CAR
RIED.
Nearer and nearer drew the
American lines. The fort had
been deserted, the trench;» be
fore it heaped with Spanish
dead. The left of the Twelth, I
noticed, clesing in, appparently
for a charge, which in fact,went
forward with a cheer at once. As
I reached the charging party,
after a race I fancy I ehall nev
er forget, with the Mausers {top
ping apparently directly back of
of my ears all the way across
the opening, the gallant little
band wae just crossing the
trenches.
The fort had been carried
(3 :30 o’clock), but the fighting
wae not over. From the town
and frum the block houses on
both sides the Spaniards main
tained a dogged fire.
But the end was near. We
simply riddled that town, and
at half after 4 those Spaniards
who were left retreating toward
Santiago assembled on a small
hill half a mile off and fired sev
eral volleys at us, defiant to
the last.—From “The Santiago
Campaign.” by Caspar Whitney
in Harper’s Magazine-.
THE WIZARD’S DAUGHTER.
In the realm of philanthropy
the end-of-the-century woman is
well in the race with all mascu
line competitors
Helen Gould, daughter of the
late “Wizard of Wall street,”
has just received a vote of thanks
from New Yorkers for her many
benefactions.
This young woman is well
deserving ol gratitude Her ed
ucational, charitable and benev
olent work has all bean
unostentatiously. Working’ in
different lines fiom Mrs. Hearst,
Mr*. Stanford or Mias Garrett,
yet she ia a wise and libera)
giver.
The world notes with gratifi
cation the good being doae by
woman in her ever-widening
lelds of endeavor, but the spec
tacle of the daughter of Jay
Gould miniatering to sick and
dying soldiers is one that “pleas
ea by surprise and delights by'
contrast.”
The process of cutting down
thu army has been leisurely
enough thus far, and many offi
sera and men are still retained
in the Federal service subject to
orders froty headqai tersj al
though there is’no possibility of
an occasion |oi* their s&rvices.
Within the next thirty days,
however, the volunteers, who
are to be relsased from military
duty will have been mustered
out, and the remaining force of
regulars and volunteers, about
120,000 strong, will be fully pre- 1
pared for service at home or
abroad. There is an ample mar
gin m this number to cover all
contingencies—even the remote
chance of another outbreak of
hostilities with Spain.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says :
There ought to be a reform of
the pension system in Georgia.
No one not absolutely indigent
should draw a pensian. The ten
dency is to pension every man
who was in the Confederate ser
vice. The motive back of it may
be all right, but the taxes are
already far too high. The pen
sion and shod funds should
both be j educed.
When the war came on,” said.
Mr. McKinley at Bushnell, 111.,
“There were 200,000 volunteers
within sixty days,” Very true.
But Why? Would not 50,000 at
the outside been enough? And
did not Gen. Schofield warn you
that 50,000 were as many as
could be handled without need
lessly imperilling lives and
health?—New York World.
Capt. James G. Blaine haw
