DELOS BURLINGAME. Bi/.erville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. From, our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June sth. 1899. I'resident McKinley will issue uo call for volunteers for the Philippines for sometime, if it all. Owing to the rainy season, no ex pensive military operations will he i inducted in the Philippines before full. Gen. Otis has reported that :10.000 men are all that he will need, and regulars will he sent to him in sufficient numbers to keep lis army at about that number and still allow all of the volunteers aho wish to do so, to return home ;nd be mustered out. Gen. Otis has also been authorized so enlist as many natives as he cares to. Vdjutant General Cor bin says that ill the volunteers will be home in The course of live or six weeks. The speeches made when the aew Spanish minister to President McKinley were out of the ordinary .it the matter of plain language, ihe minister said: "I have come o renew the relat ions of friendship. •\hieh have existed from of ohl be ween .Spain and the i". S., and .hicli were interrupted by the war : last year, and now. looking only o the future. Spain desires that r relations with this republic may /C as friendly as they were in iwnes past and from the days in ■ hi< h this country was struggling 'gain its independence." Presi dent McKinley said in reply: ■You will find. Mr. Minister, a •ordial welcome in this country, . it only from those whose friend ship you acquired during your . inner residence. ' at from all our people, who rejo ; »asldo at the enewal of the ncient bonds of unity which, wii <a briefinterrup ion. have united our nations for more than one hundred years. That these friendly relations may " confirmed and strengthened, to the advantage of both peoples, is ;■ ' ivnest wish and I can assure a, 1 ; that every member of this ■.■ eminent will heartily co-oper • vl.h you to that desirable end." i ! eis naturally much gossip .n official and diplomatic circles <i 'out the official announcement hut Germany had purchased from Spain its remaining island posses ions in the Pacific, paying 85,000,- 00 therefor. A member of the Cabinet when - iced whether this government i'elL any concern about the deal, re plied: ••No: why should il ? We aave acquired everything we want in that quarter.'' It is now re called with amusement that while ihe I'aris Peace Conference was was in session, the German news papers. known as government organs, fairly teemed with edi torials telling the Tinted States to >e just and liberal to her fallen foe, md pointing out the greatness of magnanimity in a nation. It was thought at the time that these ...rticles were printed because of the •ympathy of the German govern ment for Spain, instead of being aspired by the selfish desire to -;eep the 1. S. from taking articles hat Germany had already bar ;aine<: to buy, if they were not taken. The inventive genius of the i itr\ ! s always most active when the country is most prosperous, ami it was never more active than t is time. But. by the good management of Commissioner iHiell, the efficiency of the I . S. Patent Office has increased even : :stcr than the number of applica tions for patents. This is so marked that the prominent patent law firm of C. A. Snow & r i., which has obtained more than _'o 'OO patents for inventors in ■every city, town and village in the country, say they are getting prompter—the average is from four "o ten weeks—and more intelligent ■ tion upon application for patents than at any time in their twenty ve years' pi act ice. Private" Dal/ell, who knows Ohio politics from top to bottom is ji -t returned from the State. He speaks with enthusiasm of the Lie]) l'olican ticket and platform, and -ays there are no serious insnis in the Republican rank.-. H • predicts that Judge Nash will eii tod Governor by a majority ■in ]es- than Ho.ooo and says lie ' mi higher. Frank Thompson, President of the Penna. R. R., died suddenly at his home at Merion, last Mon day. This removes the foremost railroad man in the country. EXCURSItTIT NOTICES.

A grocer in a New York paper tells j i of a bride who entered his store and j gave an order for "ten pounds of j paralyzed sugar, one pound of dese i crated codfish and a bag of fresh salt-- ' I and be sure it is fresh." Composing his features into a respectful sobriety, the grocer ventured to suggest the addition !of some very nice horseradish. "No," j I was her reply, "we couldn't use it; we don't keep a horse." When she had j ; flitted, the grocer sat down on the ice ; I box and fanned himself with a patent J washboard, although the temperature 1 I outside was nearly zero. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To bo successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of ; it. A little forethought will also save 1 much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle <if Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ! and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until ne cessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out twenty-five cents, the other is out a hundred dollars and then won ! ders why his neighbor is getting richer ! while he is getting poorer.
