TERMS OF BUBSCRIPriOJ: Oh ysw br mall, postage paid Oos month Um week, by carrier Hike is the best speech that could possibly be made to a college or hifch school graduating clam. It is troin the pen of J. O. Holland: The first great lesson a young man ' should learn is, that he knows nothing, and the earlier and more thoroughly this lesson is learned, the better it will be for bis peace of mind, and his suc cess in life. When a young man has thoroughly comprehended the fact that he knows nothing, and that intrinsically he is of but little value, the next thing for him to learn is that the world cares nothing for him that he is the subject ot no man's overwhelming admiration and esteem that he must take care of him self. If he be a stranger, he will find every man busy with his own affairs and none to look after him. He will not be noticed until he becomes noticeable, and he will not become nnticptthlA until hn irxi) rmt-thinir to V . V- 1. J . . -J , . . . V. . .

The point is well and musically made. If the appeal were for angels instead of men it would not be reasonable. If the prayer were for perfect men it could not be answered, for divine authority has declared "there is none good." If the appeal were for nren whose raiment is too clean to brush against the multitude fwould come under t! e ban of that Morable declaration: Wo unto ribes, Pharisees, hypocrit " "V. for men without fault it cattered the crowd tbat stoning a poor, wr-ak iinan Let him that is witi-
... r
J out fault throw the fiist rtone." There is but one class of the m n prayed for concerning w!.:ch we hne a riLt ?o speak :ho editors. The netd of improvement in their field is very great. They have not only all the frailties common to humanity but some peculiar to themselves. Tbev know little enough, Ood knows, but they don't begin to till the world all they do know. In some cases they tell more than they know. If they would make all the exposures of corruption. intr'gue and scandal they are re' quested tj make they wouKi have no rr" nt fur ait.itii Aritn. tliA nnnihr of which would probably be greatly increased by complying with the reouesta. Of course, the editors are cowards for not doing it. Now and then they get what little virtue they possess wrought up to the point of exposing some specially aggravating case, but generally before they get their thunaerooit in type they learn from undoubted sources" that right in the camp whence they got their pointer a worse case has been discovered, one of the same sort. Then the weak and worldly editor kills" his reform fulmination, falls back on the miserable excuse that he is publishing a paper for business and repeats for the hun dreth time in hi editorial columns that mercenary misfit Now is the time to subscribe." THE NEXT NAVAL BATTLE. r rem present indication the next . - great navai e ngageuieiit win be som? where between the Cape Verde Islands and the east coast of Brazil, betveen the American battle ship Oregoa accompanied bv the minor vessels Nictheroy and Marietta on the one side, and the Spanish Atlantic fleet composed of I the fine armored cruisers Vizcaya, Alruirante Oquendo, Infanta Maria Teresa and the Cristobal Colon, together with the torpedo boat destroyers Furor, Terror and Pluton. The Oregon is one of the finest and most powerful battle ships of the United States navy, belong ng to tie same class and being identical in every way with the Indiana and Massachusetts. Her displacement is 10.2SS tons, length 34S feet and h?rse power 9,000. She was built in San Francisco and launched in 1S93, and her Lormal speed is sixteen knots.

The Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Infanta Maria Theresa are armed and armored alike. They are 301 feet long, and are protected by a belt of steel 12 inches thick on the sides. Tte barbettes are covered with eteel 10 inches thick, and the deck is protected with a coating 2 inches thick on the flat and 3 on the slope. They carry 4S4 men each. The armament of each boat consists of two 11-inch and ten 5-inch guns, eight 6 pounder and I ten 1-pounder quick-firing guns, eight I Nordenfeldt and two Maxim machine guns and six to eight torpedo tubes. The Cristobal Colon is essentially the same a-? the others, except as to gmsf of which it hai two Ii 8 innx and ten O-iuch, ten 6 pounder, ten l-pounder, 1 Maxims and four torpado tubes. The torpedo boat destroyers are armed with small quick-firing guns and torpedo tubes. It is at the present writing believed that this formidable Spanish fleet is hurrying in the direction of Cape St. Iioque in the vicinity of which it hopes to iocercept the Oregon and her two companions. Should they meet the advantages will be docidedly with the Spaniards so far as numbers are con cerned. The Oregon, however, i superior to any of the Spanish battle ships and with superior handling will at least make it very interesting for the Dons. But an important feature of the situ ation is that Acting Hear Admiral Sampson with his squadron, which consists of the fir-st-class battle ships New York (flagship), Iowa, Indiana and double-turreted monitor Puritan, is supposed to be on his way to take a hand in the contest. If he succeeds in joining the Uregon before the Span iards reach her and a clash comes be tween the combined American fleet and the Spanish fleet it will probably be one of the greatest naval battles in the history of the world. PORIO RICO The usually well informed Washing ton correspondent of the St. Louis Qlobe Democrat makes the followirg statement with regard to this govern ment'a intention toward Porto Rico: Spain's dismemberment Witt But iltOTr with a protectorate over the ' Philip pine and the independence or unoa, the United states will take as war mI demnity the island of Porto Rico This statement is based upon an under standing arrived at by senators who will have the ratification of the treaty of peace. The committee on foreign relations has considered the matter informally. A canvass shows that the members are almost solidly for the proposition. President McKinley's message aud the resolutions of conirress commit the United States against the annexation of Cuba. This govern ment has gone to war to make Cuba free and independent, and will carry out tee determination in good fxitb Little has been said about Porto Rico. That is . the last of Spanish pos sessions on this hemisphere, its lo cation commands the guit. it is a much smaller island than Cuba, being 100 miles long and about forty wide It is classed by many travelers as tt e fine-t of the West Indian islands in fertility and climate. Senators speak with much positireness of the inten tion to mike Porto Rico the indemnity for the war. They say it would be en tirely useies to demand a money in demnity from Spain, and that this island from, its strategical position, is needed by the United States. Shortly before the war came, the senate debated seriously an offer of the Danish West Indies for $5,000,000. The bargain was rejected after being discussed behind closed doors. The fact now comes to light that senators had their eyes on the acquisition of Potto Rico in tSe event of war. There is no other island in the gulf which 83 well roets the requirements of the United States for navsl purposes. Loyal Legion. The annual reunion of the Loval Leg.on occurs today at Indianapolis. Extensive preparations for the meeting have been made and it will probably be one of the most interesting in the history of the Indiana divisions. Ap propriate action will be taken with reference to the late Major Doxey. The banquet, which is always a feature of the Legion's reunions, will be spread at the Denison hotd this evening. Each member is entitled to one guest Local members will attend. Mr. and Mrs. Murray HiU weut to Elton yesterday to visit relatives for a few days.

Another attorney La3 been engaged in the case of the state versus John O'Neil, eharged with the murder of his brother, Dennis O'Neil. John F. Robbins has been retained to assist in the defense. There is considerable con jeetare as to the exact line of the defense in this case. It is a well known faet that in the law no killing is justi fiable except where an actual self -de fense is shown, or where the person who is killed had made some motion to make au assault when within shooting or striking range. None of the eye witnesses in this ae have testified to seeing any motion on the part of Den nis O'Neil toward striking or preparing tf strike or assault his brother. There ares those who say that, though Dennis was an intemperate fellow he was really harmless and not to be feared. The family, however, does not corroborate this story. It is also said that the line of defense may be insanity. It is. to say the least, a most singular ease, in the coolness that characterized the man before and after he did the shooting, and the ap parent lack of provocation at the mo ment when the tragedy occurred. The funeral of Dennis O'Neil yesterday was largely attended, and was a very sad affair. It is understood that the mother of the two boys, one of whom wa3 buried yesterday hfter having died at his brother's hand, and the other one of whom is now in the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury, is almost crazed.

AT MANILA.
Henry County Bov Was the Battle, on Board the Concord. in A letter from T. A. Goodwin, to the New Castle Courier is as follows: MEfHANicsBURG. Ind.. May 4 Henry county had on board the Concord, in the battle of Manila, a boy who was born and raised at Meehaniesburc. by the name of Claud McCurdy a son of Charles MeCur y. now of Markleville. Claud is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and is an exeep tion of a bright boy. His mother died in about the year 1S33 or 1SS9. Hi3 father ltft Mechanicsburg and moved to Markleville in 1SS9 or 1S90. Claud got interested in the navy through a gentleman who was speeding a shott time in Markleville and had been in the navy. He - decided to go and finally got the eonsent of bis father and in IS94 left with Sda Mauzy, a stock buyer, with some stock for Buffalo, New York. Mr. Manzy sent him on to Baltimore with a friend of his, another stock man. He was taken on board the training vessel Columbia, but about eight months ago when that ship went in for repairs, he was transferred to the Coneord. They had a letter from him onlv a short time ago while at Hong Kong, China. His letters al ways spoke of the kind regards the crew had for the captain and the com mander of the fl :et, Dewey. His father and grandfather are anxiously await ing news from the battle, which may bring sorrow or joy as the case may be. Harvard Students to Cuba. Last night on train number 7 from Co'umbus and the east, there was a special Pullman car, oecupied by a number of Harvard students.

My womb pressed backward, causing piles. I was in such misery I could scarcely walk across the floor. Menstruation was irregular and too pro fuse, was also troubled . with leucorrhcea. I h&d given up all hopes of getting well; everybody thought I had consumption. After taking five bottles of Lydis E.

Old f aohionrd WttekM Were Mad la Many Carlo Shapes, Since timepieces have come within the reach cf everybody and watches aie made large enough for bicycle bars and wnall enough for the lady's ring if- is curiously interesting to recall some of the old fashioned ones tbat Served our ancestors so well genera tic ns ago. Long before our time or that of our grandfathers watches wwe made in such fantastic fashion that it is a marvel tbat their owners managed to carry them about. No one seenis to know the exact date of the first timepiece, but the middle of ' the fifteenth century seenis to have been the period when "portable clocks' began to appear; in the different, collections of anti quaries there area few specimens of the "Nuremberg eggs, or watches made in oval shapes aud coming from the town after which they were named. In the ljossession of Lady Fit2gerald of England there was one watch which was shaped like an eagle which had asmall boy on its back. This odd ornament was made to hint at the story It Jupiter and Gany mede. The Ifreast of the bird open ed to show tee dial beneath it. and the works ware most elaborately ornamented. IVhen the fair owner of this treat aredid not wish towprjt her table. 1 uoiu ana teilver emit us seem to have let theft fancy run riot durin the sixteeiitbr-century, and watches made in the torm of ducks, acorns of cockleshells and of all possible things made their appearance. Most oi inem strucK tne Hour, anu one notable invention tired a diminutiv pistol at certain intervals. When Henry II of Fiance fell in love with Diana of Toitiers (about iu4). 6ne was a widow ana wore mourning. Of course that offered an opportunity to the extravagant courtiers of the day, and the resul as that all the ornaments fit court were fashioned after such grewsome ideas that the ridiculous was close upon the soblime, to say the least Rings were formed like skeletons, tiny coffins of gold were worn as or naments, and they contained enam tied figures of death, but the most striking products of the hour were the watches which dangled from fair ladies' belts and which repre sented grinning skulls, the tops of which lifted to disclose the dial plate. Of course the eyes were brilliant jewels, and small tortunes were spent in the elaborate ornamenta tion of tkese funeral trinkets. Eut tho watches, the trinkets and the people who wore them have all pass ed away, and since 1C20, or there about, the fiat oval or round time piece has been the general favorite. Time dees not go so fantastically within as it did with those untutor ed geniuses of earlier times, and perhaps our plain, substantial watches tell as much of our charac ter as did those bizarre inventions of earlier days about the men and women who wore them. Brooklyn Eagle. Tbat Waa Different. A small boy stood before Justice Kersteu one morning recently to an swer a cbarge of assault with intent to do bodily injury.

A night or two ago he was due at a swell curd iKirty out in the neighborhood of Iiittenhouse square. Nine o'clock was the hour, and at 7:30 he found himself unable to keep his eyes opeu. He repaired to his aitaittneuts, but dared not lie down for fear be would oversleep himself and miss his engagement. In the emergency an idea struck him. (ioing over to the messenger call with which his sitting room is equipied he rang for. a boy. In a few miuutes one put in an appearance, "Did you ring, siri" inquired the lad. I did," answered the man about town. -"rise that chair over there?" The boy nodded in the affirmative. "Well," continued the man about town, "I want you to sit down in it and never move for just 30 minutes. Then I want you to make ue get up. Understands" Once more the messenger nodded, and in less time than it takes to tell it the man about town was sound asleep on a couch. Promptly at the expiration of the half hour the boy awoke him, and the engagement was kept on time.
