Efforts laborious Grandly were crowned. Tlattling was llorco and hot; Boldly the Spaniards fought, Hut it all came to naught, For they were drowned. Our heroes poundod thorn, Shafter surrounded thorn, Sampson confounded thorn, Putting to flight. But it Is due to them, And it is true of thorn, It was all now to them How Yankees tight. Fires of destruction flushed, Earthworks and forts wore smashed, Sampson's great sea dogs dushod, For the Don's ileot. Then came Cervera's end Ships that had long been penned He saw in smoke ascend, Dire his dofeat. Ships which had come 'mid boasts That they would scourgo our coasts, Now blackened shells and posts, ' Neath the waves rest. Fleet that stirred Spanish pride No more the seas will ride ; Gnus that frowned from each sido No more molest. Gono are Cervera's boats, At Santiago floats Banner that e'er denotes Whore freemen dwell. Down goes the (lag of Spain, Never to rise again ; For her oppressive reign Fnto rings the knell.

Thoy were talking over the war qnestiou on the front porch, and during the conversation tho young man foolingly remarked that war is hell nd no mistake."

X torriblo ship-wreck occurred off the Sabln Islands, Nova Scotia, on July The French liner, La Bourgogno, ran Into the British ship, Cromartyshire, and me rencn snip, which carried 714 per sons, went down. So siiddouly did the ship sink that only 103 of the persons on board wcro saved. The survivors toll terrible stories of the Inhuman treatment ot the womon and weaker porsons on board by the crew, and by a gang of low class foreigners, who fought with knives and clubs for positions in tho boats. Out of about two hundred womon on the ship only one was saved. A very severe electrical and wind storm swept through this section on Sun day, July 3. At Stowarts Run tho torm assumed tho proportions of a yonng tor nado, largo trees being twisted from the ground and carried a considerable dis- trnce from their stumps, a number of fences and small buildings were demol ished, while growing crops were laid flat to the ground. At Endeavor the new Presbyterian church was struck by light ning and whilo tho beautiful edifice did not take tiro, one side of the costly me morial window was damamaged and lot or plaster torn off. Says the Tidioute News : Americans in France are not receiving tho best of treatment in Paris principally on account of the pro-Spnnlsn reeling of the French. And so iney compliment Mrs Isabel Smith, sister of Mrs. N, P, Wheeler, is all the more remarkable. Mrs. Smith was granted the honor of having two of her miniature portraits ex hibited at tho Salon do Mars, of which tho celebrated Paris paper Patrie says iu writing of the exhibits, aud of which we make a treo translation as follows : "By Isabel K. Hmllli two very protty minia tures, one being tho portrait of Monsieur Felix Fauro, Prosident of France, and tho other the CVsar-like face of William B. McKinloy, President of the United SUitos." Tho W. R. C. has received a request from tho National Beliof Commission for supplies for the reliof of our woundod soldiers in the war with Spain. This ought to appeal to the hearts of all pa' triotic citizens, as all know that this war Is in the causo ol humanity. The articles most needed are: Dolicasies for the sick jellies, canned fruits, farnia, cracked wheat, lime juice, malted milk, canned soups, etc.. pines and tobacco, towels gray or brown socks, night shirts, small pillows and pillow cases, and sheets for ordinary cols. All donations can be left at the W.C.T.U. rooms over Citizens' Na. tional Bank. A meetins of the patriotic women will be held at the residence of Mrs. Craiu tomorrow for the purpose of sewing on the articlos needed. YOU AXD TOUR FBI ENDS.

Tbo weather man was in a patriotio humor on the Fourth of July and a more ported day could not have been made to order, and tho people of this vicinity seemed to be imbued with the same spir it as tho weather man, for they turned out en masse. Early in the morning tho streets began to throng with enthiisiastlo people, all evidently boot on having a good lime and to judge from the manner in which they put in the day, they had it. The elaborate program which had been prepared was successfully carried out and was thoroughly enjoyed. The par ade in the morning was the best ever seen here ami with the many bauds which had been procured was grand in a musical as well as a spectacular sense. The raising of the liberty pole at the Armory was a very 'ntesesting feature of tho day's program and while all who were on the program did not take part in the ceremonies their places were easily and quickly filled and the ceremony was carried out without a "h.tc'b." The five minute speeches by Hon. John A. Mat- tox and "Farmer" Dean were thoroughly enjoyed and heartily applauded. After this the crowd went to tho Court House park where those who had brought their dinners combined business with pleasure and "chewed the rag" while they chewed their grub. Dinner over, the vast assembly gathered around the speaker's stand and listened to the read ing of tho Declaration of Independence bv Rev. J. V. McAninch, and to the speech by Hon. John L. Mattox, of Oil City, orator of the day. This lalter was a very ablo and interesting oration, and was thoroughly enjoyed and heartily ap plauded by all. Mr. Mattox is not only au able speaker, but a genial gentleman, and he mado many friends while here. The only disappointing feature of the day's entortainuient wasthepyrotechnio- al display In the evening. This, while very beautiful, was not what was looked for, but it was not the falt of the com mittee. They were swindled by the com pany who furnished the fireworks, and the fact was not discovered until too late. The day's festivities wound up with L'rand ball in the armory whieh was thoroughly enjoyed by all who partici patnd. Taken as a whole it was a gala day, and the sentiment of everyone was expressed in the interest manifested. Of course, as is to be expected on such day, a groat deal of "conversation water" was punished, but very little of it was of tho fiehting variety and ne blood was spilled and not an arrest was made. Tho "Dowey Reserves," from Oil City, a company of boys ranging in age from 10 to 14 years, made a very picturesque addition to the parado. They had their own drum corps, wore gaily uniformed and carried wooden puns. I hey were well drilled and marched in good order and mado a very soldierly appearance, Somo day they may have an opportunity to defond thoir country and when thoy do they. will show that they are made of the samo material as the gallant Dewey, Letter From Herbert Stonghton. Montciianin, Del., July 3. 1898 We, the 2d Regt., l v., are in camp hero at Montchaniu on the banks of the Brandywine river, seven miles from Wilmington. We are here on garrison duty, guarding the Dupont powder works, which at night is a vory danger ous task, tor fear of someone blowing up tho powder magazines, which contain many tons of tho explosive : some of the magazines having 250 tons stored away, We have a lovely camping place bore, the country is rino and the climate very healthful, although we have some very warm weatlior ; during each battallion drill, which takes place every afternoon, there are as hiiih as 5 and B nin carried in off the tiold exhausted from the heat, Take it all in all we have it very nice hero, althouch our Colonol is pretty se voro on us. We have roil call at fi:30 I m., 7:30 a. in., 10:00 a. in., aud 2:00 p. m 4:15 n. m. 7:00 p. m.. and 10:00 p. m., am for each ono ol tho roll calls we miss costs us ft, and by that it keeps us prit tv close to camp at all times. Thore are about 52 ol the bovs in tho Guard hoiiso, undor guard for leaving camp witlou permission. Their sentences are from 5 to 20 days each with a fine of from Jl.00 to ?i.00 each. The most interesting sight takes place every evening when the boys that are in Mm Guard house are marched to the Brandywine river for their evening bath, which they seem to enjoy very much; ono of tho boys (a German) makes plenty of fun for the rest of the prisoners by his curious actions and queer didos that he goes through. I must say gladly that I myself have been very lucky, escaping all punish ment of any kind, on account of not mis sing any of the roll calls nor any drills. My reputation in the army regulations is perfect. We expect to leave here in about four weeks for the Philippine Islands. I will bavo to contradict the statement that George Birtcil was the first volunteer from Forest Co., as I was in tho National Guard and swoin into tho U. S. Army boforo he was. ""here aro about 3,000 visitors here to day from all parts of the country, and a great many from Philadelphia. Thinking that I have already taken up too much space in the columns of tho Hk ruui.icA.N, and hoping it will lie read with interest, I will close with kindest rogarps to each and all of tho readers of tllO BEi'UIIMCAN.
