New York Commercial-Advertiser. The hopeful feature of the Cuban situa tion Is the obvious t-lncurlty of General Blanco's purposo to rlo all In his power to pacify tho Island and to satlsty public opinion in the United States. There l.. good evidence of this 111 his stout main tenance of the' right of autonomous Cuba to make its own turlit against the Ma drid government, in his modification of AVcyler's cruel hcheme of concentration, In the release of the Competitor prison ers, anil In the general mildness of his ndnilnlrttinllon. This, taken together with the peaceful and reasonable disposition of tho president, Is guaranty that the na tions will not be huirled into a position painful and difficult to both. Sagasta and Uluuco have given the president good grounds for a firm pulley In restraint of congressional ardor for demonstration of humane, sympathy and national telf-as-sertlon. o All that personal good sense and mod eration can do to bring about an accom modation bttweeu Spain and Cuba will lie done. Hut the dally march of events makes It only mine clear that Spain, Cuba and tb Vnlted States, Sapastn. Blanco and MeKlnley, are In the grasp of economic and so lal forces which can not be resisted or impeded, and uhloh mnko for separation between Spain and Cuba. The plan for autonomy has been declared, tmd It miisl lie assumed that It Is tliu most liberal the Madrid govern ment can grant without exciting a revo lution in Catalonia, Jiut It assures Span ish control 'of the provincial parliament through the power of appointment to the upper house, anil it retains a preferential tarur or 3j per rent. In favor of Spain. Moreover, It does not touch the question of what Is called tbe Cubuu debt, now not less than JWiuo.uw. o This has been accepted by the lead ers oOlho Insignificant parly of loyal au tonomists, but It has been rejected by the Insurgents, with promise of the death of a spy or traitor to any Spaniard who shall propose, or any Cuban who shall listen to It. But If It were accepted by all. this plan could not ining peace anil prospeilty to Ou1.ii. It does nothing to abate tho social und economic pressuro for sepal atlon. It leaves Cuban IikIuh liy and trade Impovcilshcd by tribute to Spanish manufactures and commerce and by the extravugance and corruption of Spanish administration, and crushed un der tho weight of Spanish debt. This means ruin ami bankruptcy for Cuban planters and traders, and starvation and despair for the Cuban people. Weio ev ery political motive to separation re moved, tho Spanish connection could not endure on this basis.

A few days ago u lnd was lending a cow along tho road near Ararat ami when he reached tho depot ho tied tho animal to the coupling pin of a freight car, which was standing o'n a switch, and went Inside of tho station to get warm. t'n fortunately for the cow, an engine backed upon tho BWltcli, and tho en gineer, not (seeing thu cow, coupled on to the car and started towards Car hondalc. The bovine wns not noted as ti sprinter, but she was forced down the grade at a S.144 gait. A farmer, who saw the predicament, managed to signal Knglneer Atmnermn'ri to stop, otherwise there must have been a purt of speed on the part of the cbw un heard of before by any cow, or a broken neck, for the boy had securely tied her with a stout rope. As It Is. she Is alive and well, and holds the record of Ararat for that sort of race. Tho Dela ware and Hudson may eventually adopt this method of getting live stock over the road "with neatness and dis patch." HOW TO ESCAPE OFFICE. In a deserved tribute to one of Sus quehanna county's talented sons, Hub ert V. Porter, In his New York letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, said that he had often wondered why the talented son aforesaid "never accepted the nomination for congress from his dis trict and made a legislative record." Ho has not accepted it for the good ai.J sulllcient reason that the nomina tion has not been offered him by "the powers that be." 1 have also refused to co to the legislature and other bad places, for a like reason. In all such cases the district or the county Is the real sufferer. SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY ETCH INGS. In the death of Hunting Jossup, esq.. Montrose will lose one of her foremost citizens, an able lawyer, nnd a brave soldier, who passionately loved his country. It will be a distinct, severe loss to the borough. Susquehanna county ltepublicans would be glad of an opportunity to vote for William Connell. of Scran ton, for governor. Mr. Connell pos sesses all of the essential quallllcatlons for governor, and he would make an ideal candidate. Montrose, by a vote of L'.Ti to 17. has decided to have a "poor farm." Crok inole is amuslns: Montrose. "William Titsworth. of Montrose, will probably succeed the late E. C. Ball ns county commissioner's clerk. He will ably fill the position. Hew Father Welch, of Bentley Creek, has heen appointed assistant to Rev, E. J. Eafferty, of the Catholic parish of Auburn and Montrose. Candidates for representative at Ilnr rlsburg are springing up like mush rooms In a jiasture after a warm rain. There Is no peace for the long-suffering voters. WE HAVE DOGS TO BUHN. A Blnghamton man has sold a dog for J150. Suffering Christopher Co lumbus: If Susquehanna could sell her .100 dogs for $10 each, she could pave Main street and donate a wagon load of books to the public library. It would be about the best exchange on record since William Penn traded the Indians a job lot of beads, coon rkins and bric-a-brac for Pennsylvania. "CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT," ETC. Whitney, of Susquehanna, thinks that live hundred miles is near enough for a saloon to be to a school house. We think this Is too near. Nicholson Examiner. To Hon. Terence V. Pow derly, of Scranton, should be given the credit of the above expression, but I nm perfectly willing to father it. I hate whiskey. Call mo what you will, I hate alcohol. I pray God to give mo an everlasting, increasing capacity to hate with burning hatred any agency under heaven that can enslave, lm brute and take away the best part of a man's life and give him nothing but all awful, black and fearful recollec tion to pay for it! HOME HAPPENINGS. St. John's Catholic congregation on Sunday donated $110 to the Orphan asylum in Scranton. Cards are out nnnounclnir the mar riage of Miss Florence Gertrude Stark weather to Allen W.

Wicked Psamuel More.of Great Bend, says "now is the time of the year when people feels very much like 'busting' little Willie's bank." Work In the interior of the new Pres byterian church is In progress. Quite a number of Susquehanna merchants have entered into the trad ing stamp scheme. Physicians report a number of cases of typhoid fever. Milk producers are now receiving three cents per quart. The farmer can live If he has a handy spring. RAIl-ROAD PICKUPS. There are l.i'Jl.JiOO fulght cars In the United States. Count them. The Erie's Sunday train over the Jef tcihon branch Is well patronized. The Susquehanna shops have been placed on eight hours' time, a loss of an hour. Thcte Is also a Saturday half holiday.

The editor of the Montrose Republi can Is Inclined to stold because to many tramps ore sent over to Montrose to board from this section of tho county. Th tramp doesn't find any fault with Montrose board.nnd why should Broth er Taylor grumble? Montrose gets rich off county patronage, and all tiny poor devils outside ever gel out of that city of wealth und culture Is an occasional free meal, nnd now Editor Taylor be grudges us that.

At last the football season Is non est, and the barbers have commenced their annual December "sheep shearing," and ns those noble locks fall one by one they will bo picked up and converted in sofo. pillows by admiring' young Indies. More trouble! Candidates for gover nor are looming up, and campaign but tons are arriving. Now Is the accepted time to get to gether material for that annual swear of. Home Is a great health resort for a fa?t young man. It Is now stated that the fabled fox did not c-ire for the grapes because he was afraid that a seed might get Into hl vermiform appendix. It Is temarked that when a woman stops crying about a man fche has stopped caring for him. If some men could buy the earth for ten cents they would think the price should have been only five. A Lanesboro young man ran away from home, headed for Klondike. Freight car trip tc Buffalo, and turn pike tour homo. The old man was jt.st out of veal, but he gave his noii a liberal amount of fence stake. A Susquehanna county "statesman" wants to an to the legislature on the ground that he weighs over TOO xunds and Is ic bow-legged tint he cannot attend to any regular business. WICKED PSAIvMUEL'S WISH. The English have invented a gun which does effective work at nine miles range. Imagine tho nosslbiilty of a gun beinc created with which a good marksman nt this place could disturb Whitney, of Susquehanna, nine miles away, lust as he was about to complete a tory about a Gulf Summit eat giv It'f birth to fifteen rattlesnakes. What n iionn to humanity such a gun will be. Great Bend Plalndealer. A ST PA NO E FIRE. The oddest place or sepulchre for the bones of a human being probably ever con reived has recently been discovered In Deep Hollow, Great Bend township. A party of woodsmen cut down a large oak tre. It made two saw logs, each fourteen feet Ions. These were skld-lf-d. On top of these, thirty feet from the ground, imbedded in the solid tim ber, and locking from the rings around it. .is if it had been there for a cen tury .ir so, was found the thigh bone of an adult human being, presumably a map'si. This bone was In a solid log. The timber all around it wns green, and there wps no deadwood or knot holes. When discovered one of the men cut Into the bone with tho bit of in axe. Tho axe broke, and the bit is firmly Imbedded In the Imne. Specu lation Is jiff as to the mysterious clr cuniFtanci s. There js a rumor of a murder committed very ninny years ago, when all the parts of the body were discovered but the head and one th'lgh bone. The neighborhood ban something of a reputation for occur rences of this kind. Some time ago ,i live frog was liberated from the heart of a large growing tree. Whitney. FINilKK I. CAPTIVITY. They Get orv Reckless, Sometimes, Alter Months of Apparent Con. teiitmeut. Fishes in niiuailunis when first placed In captivity are likely to be wild and to seek constantly to escape. Sooner or later they hey quiet down and often tnev very tame; they feed wli. become and grow, and seem quite aettlt.il and content In their new home. Hut it may be that some lish, after a year of this quiet, routine life, tire suddenly seiz ed again with a desire to escape and go wild In theli efforts, roaming the tank incessantly, and finally killing themselves by running blindly or reck lessly Into a wall. Fishes are sometimes greatly dis turbed by parasites: but fishes that are perfectly sound take on sometimes In this manner, and their actions seem attributable only to the awakening of an Intense dciro to 'lie free again. Shu Und Tho .Hushroom llubit. From Atii-wers. Th gtiaid of a uvent Blackpool excur sion train was Mirpiistd by a. violent tin ging at the comuii.nientloii cord by one of tin passengers. Looking out of Ids van, he was much alarmed at seeing n wonvm frantlcnllv waving her arms and' tin um brella from the wlndi w jf one of the car riages. It was evident that something tcrrlhU had happii.ed, and he speedily brought his train to a sUmlbtlll. and, running up to the curt luge, he breathlessly inquired why bhe had Hopped the train.

Today's stock nitr ket displayed roteworthy strrnth throughout tho day and the demand for stocks were broader and more widely dlf fiined throughout the Hut than has been tho case In a long time. There was hesi tancy nt the opening, probably Induced by tho lower price from London und some of the stocks which developed most ag gresslvo strength later showed small losses at the opening. Tho early strength wns in fact most notable In tho special tics. The largest gains In tho flrtt hour were nil in the specialties. Southern' preferred wns tho first of tho rallrond stocks to attract marked attention and tho prlco was advanced a point. Nov Jersey Central was also showing a ten dency to re?over lrom Its recent weak ness), though ltt tono won feverish. This and the Irregularity of Sugar checked tho advance and activity of the market at times and there were several periods ot dullness on slight reaction during tliu day. It was not till tho afternoon that tho strength of the railroad list became aggrcsMve and genetal. The market was helped by tho dividend declarations an nounced today and those In prospect. Tho street was full of rumors regarding the dividend on Sugar, but no authoritative announcement accompanied any of thoTi. The aclloa of the market' reflected very distinctly the largo nnd aggressive op erations of manipulative combinations ami there was very little outside Interest manifested In tho stock division of tho market. Total salea were 414,500 shares. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN, AL LEN & CO., stock brokers, Mears build ing, rooms 703-700. Open- High- Low- Clos ing, est. wit. tng. Am. Tobacco Co ., Am. Cot. Oil , Am.

She tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for I'alo People nnd they did her more good than all other medicines together that she ever took. A few boxes of that medicine accomplished the euro of a ease in a few months which had baffled pliysici&us for years. "About three years ago her health began to fall. The doctor who attended her eaid this was. earned by weak digestion. This produced n"rvotnness,whlch iras accompanied by neu ralgic troubles, which at first was located in the nerves about the heart. Of course this wana dangerous location for any such trouble, and she rapidly gre-r worse, notwithstanding that the physician was treating her. This continued till a year ago List November, at which time she was almost constantly confined to her bed. "The nenralgia became gradually worse, and finally sho was a confirmed victim to it.

She had no strength, and the least noise irritated her, she waa so ner vous. We had another physician, nnd he treated her steadily for a year without doing her any good. In fact, it seemed that the was continually becoming worse. Ho finally gave up the cose ns hopeless, and advised us to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for her, as he said that they were the only thing that would benefit her. "I procured n couple of boxes of the pills, and found that their use helped her con siderably. She kept on taking them till the used about a dozen boxes, with the result that she was entirely well, and aince then there has been noM-mptoms whatever, of her old trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are certainly a wonderful medicine, which did a wonderful good in Clara's cake, doing what several physicians failed to accomplish' All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the Mood and restore shatter ed nerves are contained, in a condensed form, in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They lire also a specific for trou bles peculiar to fcnlales, such as suppres sions, irregularities and all forms of weak ness.
