TUESDAY JtjJSE 29, lfo
- - Pcoe old John Sherman has
Ifnd his Day it seems that his
career ss secretary of stale
would have been -a complete
failure without his Day.
, Experob WilIiasi has grave
ly declared that his "abilities
belong to the world and Father
land." Just how much ths world
and the fatherland are enriched
by this heritage is not appre
ciable. Dou't stop advertising be
cause times are dull, for that
will isake them duller. Besides,
the more competitors laat leave
the field temporarily, the bet
ter is it for you during their
-absence.
If good Queen Vic but knew
. bow she is catching it from
Borne of the small fry papers of
ibis land, because she is a
eea and because she and her
people have dared to celebrate
llie sixtieth anniversary of her
reign, Jhe dear old lady might
not enjoy her jubilee quite so
beartily. The awarchistSj the
Pareellites and the aforesaid
hereditary enemies of royalty
would like very much to infuse
a few drops of bitterness iuto
her majesty's cup of joy.
Chulalogkokn", the king
- of Siam, who is coming shortly
to. tour through the United
States has already about three
bundred wives, butthat need
Tiot discourage American mil
lionairesses who are straining
after foreign titles. The law
of Slam allows his majesty to
Lave as many consorts as his
xoyal fancy chooses, and no
doubt For a satisfactory remun
eration In the way ofAmeri
can gold, trade-tainted though
;it be,, he may be induced to
&dd a few American beauties
to his harem.
1 Russi views with distrust
the prospect of the United
States annexing Hawaii and
thinks it very bad that this
couutry should extend is pow
er in the Western Hemisphere.
Just what Kussla has to do
with the affairs of the Western
w.orld, where she owns -not a
foot of territory, is not very
easily discerned. For a coun
try which is itself so greedy of
territory as Russia, it would be
more becoming not to criticise
aoj&olher country which may
glalPLa small portion of the
artSv- surface. It may be
felly, if not something worse,
for the UniteCStates to annex
the SasdwicliplJands, but it
cannot concern Russia if the
thing be done unless, indeed,

VENTION
The wnventioB wfeich is to
be fceld at Bockporjt for the
consideration of the develop
ment of an .tntercoastal canal
or water-way along ihe Texas
coast is one fraught with great
interest to the coast region" of
Texas. Every acre of "the soil
along the coast of Texas pos
sesses exceeding fertility and,
with the mild clhaate which
prevails along these Gulf-laved
shores, is peculiarly adapted
to the production of early fruits
and vegetables, besitles Sea Is
land cotton, sugarcane and rice.
LProperly developed,, it would
become one of the richest pro
ducing regions in tne entire
world. ITet, for lack of cheap
transportation this wonderful
soil, with its great latent possi
bilities, lies' untilled. If the
proposed convention can Revise
a practicable plan for the ac
complishment of the groat pro
ject wiiicli it will consiier,
then will it be fraitful 'of ines
timable' good. The construe
tion of an intercoastal water
way aloog the entire coast from
Sabine to the month of the Rio
Grande has been pronounced
feasible by many engineers,
bat the means for Jts develop
ment have never yet been avail
able. This is the great obsta
cle to be overcome, and it is to
be hoped the coming conven
tion may disclose some pfan
whereby itmay be done.

What was at first thought to
be more than a college esca
pade has rapidly developed
into the matter of very serious
consequence to between forty
and fiftjyf the students at the
Georgy University;
Las winter-they organized
the duban Club at Athens
and when they announced that
it was their intention as soon
as their, studies were over to
go to Cuba and spend the
summer shooting Spaniards,
most people laughed' at them.
The entire affair was for
gotten until to-day, when a.
secret meeting of a large body
of students in this city was dis
coverer it was aiscovered,
too, thajae young men had
been activewat work ever
since their club vjgis organized
and had equipped an expedi -
lion in true filibustering style.
They have arranged for the
purchase of 200 refies and 4000

A considerable sum of mon
ey has already been paid for
these supplies.
Gordon . Bower, of Barn
bridge, -GeM presided at to
day's meeting, but it was im
possible to learn what busi
ness "was transacted.
Bower; admitted the inten
tion of die students to take the
expedition to Cuba but said
that most of the boys would
make no effort in joining the
insurgent army He said that
the expedition would be met
by some of Gomez's officers,
and that the details had al
ready been arranged by the
Cuban Junta in Apalachicola.
There is no doubt whatever
of the serious intentions of the
young men, and it is said .on
good authority that most of
them have obtained the con
sent of their fathers.
The entire athletic team of
the university is included in
the list.

The capture, invasion aird
barbing of oar National Capi
tal by British forces Under Ad
miral Xjockburn are graphical
ly recalled by Clifford Howard
in the July Ladies' Home
Journal5 in its notable "0reat
Personal Events" series. Mr.
Howard lucidly tells of the in -
ciaents leading up to the invas
ion, and pictures the terror
and excitement of the people
of Washington-, who ed shout
ing, screaming, jostling one an
other under foot, into Virginia
as the enemy approached.
President MadiBoa had gone to
the front, and his wife was anx
iously awaiting his return, in
fear for his safety. The White
House attaches had nearly all
deserted their posts, but Mra.
Madison had packed all her
husband's papers and records,
and she was about to abandon
the housp, bethought herself of
General Washington portrait.
The heavy frame inclosing it
Was broken by a servant with
an axe, and she removed the
canvas with her own hands,
keeping it from falling into the
hands of the enemy.
"It was then," writes Mr.
Howard, ''jnst as she was in
the act of hurrying away, that
Dolly Madison was seized with

Without a moment's hesitation
she turned "and rushed back
into the house. 'Stop! for

friends, vainly endeavoring to
intercept her. Regardless of
their commands regardless of
her danger, the brave woman
sped to the room containing the
treasure for which she jvas
