TiiK government has offered $300,000.-
000 of the new loan for popular sub
scription and made every post office and
depository of the government an agent
for sale of the bonds. They are issued
as low as S2O, and the response of the
people in eyery section of the country
warrants the belief that before the 14th
of July much more than the $300,000,-
000 offered will be taken entirely by
subscriptions not exceeding $->OO each.

miral Caniara's fleet of twenty vessels

Death of Judge Wlckham.
John J Wickham, a member of the
Superior Court of the State died at his
residence in Beaver last Saturday noon,
aged 54 years
His death was caused by over exer
tion at a fire. A week previous his
home was struck by lightning, and dur

heated himself as to bring about a hem
orrhage of the stomach, which caused
Kin rlnnlh ■
He was serving his second term as
Judge of Beaver Co., when the act
creating the Sujrreme Court became a
law, and Gov. Hasting* appointed him
one of its menity TS.
His death makes a vacancy on the
Superior Bench which Gov. Hastings
must fill by appointment before Sept. Ist
—the appointee to hold the office till
January Ist 1899
1 he Republican State Committee will,
under the rules, make the nomination
for his successor; and the Democrats
will probably norninatea man at Altoonn
next Wednesday. If the Governor ap
points a man to fill this vacancy who
now holds a commission as Judge such
ap]K>intnient, if accepted, will create a
local vacancy to be filled, first by ap
pointment, and afterwards by election,
with the necessary primary preceeding.
We understand that there will be an
applicant or two from Butler.
WASHINGTON.
On Friday last the President appoint
ed Win. Garvin, P. M at Ogle, and A
11. Lehnerd P. M at St Joe.
On Monday the debate on the Hawai
ian question began in the Senate.
Itep. ShowalUr recommended Rebec
ca A Allen for P. M. at Glenora
Hon T. W. Phillips was in Washing
ton, Tuesday, and the general iui
presaion there was that the President
would ask Mr. Philips to accept a mem
bership on the commission, which he
will be called upon to appoint in a few
days, to consider questions affecting la
bor and capital, as authorized by the
Philips la lor commission bill. It is
also probable that Mr. Philips may be
named for chairman of the commission,
especially as the enactment of the
necessary legislation into law was due
solely to his investigation and energy.
Mr. Philips is not urging his claims for
the place and has no one to work in his
behalf, but he is regarded as especially
fit for it.
The indications are that the president
will have hundreds of candidates ask
ing for the nine places that he has at
his disposal. The saleries are
per annum. Ho far as known all the
labor organizations will have candidates
for the places. Ex-Representative
Farquhar of Bnffalo, an old printer,
wants to represent the printers on the
Commissions, as does also John L. Ken
nedy, the Washington correspondent of
the I)ayton Journal and Louisville
Commercial. Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts,
the refornior, is also said to Is* a candi
date.

f-iau tiiig<* Dt Cuba
S'exi to tliat of Rio de Janerij, the
bay of Santiago de Cuba if. admittedly,
the most picturesque in the western
hemisphere In reality, the bay forms
two harbors, an inner and an outer,
both landlocked, and approached by a
very contracted and more or less tor
tuous channel, beset with rocks and
shoals. In fact, the entrance to the
outer harbor is difficult to locate, and
would be almost impossible hut for pe
culiarities of topographical outline and
the fortifications that loom up against
the hillside. Santiago City, generally
known as "Cuba to the native- 1 lies
at the farther extremity of the inner
bay on its right bank, consequently i
not at all visible from the sea Dirty
autl ■j.jUAliJ foi the most part, with ill
kept streets and dilapidated dwellings,
it. nevertheless, is most attractive when
viewed from the water front and at a
distance; the yellow and blue houses
literarly rise from the water's edge, ex
tending almost to the summit of a bill
that, but for a dwarfing effect produced
by the hazel blue peaks that encompass
both valley and bay. would be termed a
mountain. Indeed, the shores of the
harbor are almost uniformly high and
rugged, beintr merely the foothills and
spurs of the Sierras.
As a military and naval station.
Santiago dates from 1514. when Diego
Velasquez here founded a settlement
and erected rude defenses for its protec
tion Thus, after Baracoa. Santiago is
the oldest city in Cnba. and for more
than two centuries enjoyed the distinc
tion of being the capital of the island.
In 1558 it was raided by the French and
the fortifications in part destroyed.
Ten years later a new series of defenses
were undertaken, that in 1663 65 were
replaced the obsolete brick, stone
Castle, and Estrella, Punta Gorda and
Santa Catalina batteries Of later
date are batteries A<,uadoros and Blan
ca—the one an outlying defense to
Morro, the latter occupying the place of
the ancient artillery barracks just be
low the city—and the fortress of La
Zocapa ior Socapa). Of still later date
are water batteries on Isla de Smith,
where the lower bay debouches into the
narrow gut that ccnnects ii with the
Caribbean Sea.
Morro, which is practically a dupli
cate, though on a slight re duced scale
of the castle of the same name that
guards tbe entrance of Havana, is
perched high upon th* cliff that at the
i right hand entrance of the harbor forms
Morillo Point Its ancient crumbling
look and weather-beaten and discolored
walls cause it to have the appearance of
I being ready to topple into tbe waves
| below; but for all, it is stronger and
more defensible than its eiterior would
indicate, and the least salient portions
lie beneath the masonry, having been
excavated from solid rock. It will be
recalled this structure once held the
cells, offices and torture chambers of
the In'juistion at tne tinje when the
"Holy Office" assumed to be arbiter of
the destinies of all Spanish America.
How far the Morro and its sister and
outlying fortifications have been
strengthened in order to meet the exig
encies of modern warfare, and special
ly of the present conflict, is chiefly a
matter of conjuncture, and it is not safe
to rely too much upon the indolent hab
its and procrastinating traits of the
Hispano- Latin race
Diagonally across the outer entrance
of the harbor, to the west of Morro,
and exactly opposite to the fortress of
Santa Cataiina on Canones Point, stands
the castle of La Zocapa Here is the
narrowest part of the channel, there not
being more than 120 yards between the
opposing shores. By a glance at the
haabor plan, it is possible to more fnlly
realize the nature of the defences of
Santiago, remembering also that the
sitntes the strongest portion thereof,
being such as to defy any inproveni«ut
at the hands of xnan beyond fortifica
tions and armament. The hostile ves
sel that essays Santiago Harbor is not
only subjected to the fire of Morro and
the water batteries below and behind to
the east of this castle, bnt must like
wine rnn the gauntlet of th" Estrella,
•Santa Catalina and Zocapa; farther,
from the moment she is well inside
Morillo Point she is subjected to fin en
filading fire from I'unta Oorda, an or
de»l that is supplemented by a like fire
from Isla de Smith as soon as the nar
rowest part of the channel is reached.
At present thU gut i« additionally de
fended by the Spanish warship#. A'luiir
al Cervera having manifestly taken an
advantageous position with this view.
Presuming, however, all these obstruc
tions and dangers are safely encount
ered awl passed. to reach the city there
still remains to l«o forced the second
narrow channel, only about double the
width of that guarded by Morro and
Zocapa, et al., in order to enter the np
l«*r bay. Guarding the Jupper end of
this channel is Itat Island tlsla de lta
tones), now believed to l>e well defend
ed by modern earthworks; and the bat
tery on Punta (lorda has again to be
considered, for if It ha* not been com
pletely silenc*d, it is still capable of de
livering an enfilading fire, and over the
stem, instead of over the bow as before,
of the foe. Again, certain charts indi
cate that in the vicinity of Itat Island
the only navigable channel in certain
spot* shoals to U4 feet, which is prohibi
tive to the passage of battle shin* and
the heavier class of cruiser*, which re
quire feet.
Thus Santiago is eminently fittod by
nature to be a western Gibraltar. Prop
erly fortified and defended, the harbor
conld defy any attack from the seaward;
and to the landward the rugged charac
ters of the hills and mountains are such
as to offer almost unparalleled ad van
tages for either offensive or defensive
operations. Unt since the early history
or the province of Santiago, no meas
ures have ever l**« n taken to defend its
capital city and chief seaport from the
rear, except those of temiiorary and
flimsy character that have beet) neces
sitaied by the raids of insurgents
In the light of the foregoing, the feat
of Lieut Mobson, in blockading the
lower bay of Santiago, by sinking the
collier "Merritnae in the narrowest
part of the channel, between Santa Cat
alina and ha Zocapa. acquires new in
terest and further evidences the act was
of a more daring and difficult nature
than has generally ls-«-ii imagined It
is evident the strongest battleships
could hardly hope to i,scape scathless
under the ttre of the fortresses with all
the advantages of elevation and lis
many batteries, to say nothing of the
Spanish fleet, not even if all the guns
employed by the foe are of an obsolete
type and comparatively deficient nene
trillion That the "Merrimac" ami her
volunteer crew suffered so little from
the batteries must be ascribed first, to
surprise, and, second, to the distraction
afforded by the fire of the United States
squadron To surely and certainly igjr
form the task set demanded a cool head,
insouciance to surroundings, and dog
ged persistence, since the enterprise
was of the nature of a naval forlorn
hope. The results to the country in
practically, and for the present, at leant
disposing of the Spanish flfret as regards
future offensive operations in western
waters, arc incalculable. Scientific

On tiii* Annexation «>• Hawaii.
The House haying? under consideration
the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands Rep. Showalter spoke in favor
of it. and after ijaoting historical pre
cedents and naval authorities concln
ded as follows.
From the coast of Japan and China to
the Golden <*ate from Alaska to the
equator, there is bnt one place in the
Pacific where food, water and coal can
be obtained; that place is Hawaii The
roads of the Pacific with Hawaii are ours,
our Pacific coast can be protected easier
than without them. It has been repeat
edly officially stated by naval authors
ties that the trans-Pacific countries and
islands, with the exception of Hawaii,
are so far distant from the American
coast that unless the ships of such na
tions can reeoal at Hawaii it is impossi
ble for them to get to our coast for
effective military operations It' this is
true —and who is there to deny it ■
| does not common sense dictate to ns to
possess, them to close Hawaii to them
all. and thus make our Pacific coast un
assailable?
It is evident to everyone that the
Hawaiians are unable to maintain
themselves against any foreign power
They are weak and helpless. They are
a tempting bait to the nations of tne
Old World. Let ns remove this tempt
ing t>ait Let ns do it for our own pro
t .ction. for the protection of a helpless
friendly power, and for the protection
of tbe future peace of the world.
The i>ossession of these islands has
now become it millitary necessity; we
need thein-in our business Th< flag of
the Republic now waves over Cavite,
in the harbor of Manila. The unpara!
I leled victory of Commodore Dewey and
his gallant officers and men has made
plain our duty. We owe it to these
dauntless American heroes whose
bravery. courage, and skill have added
luster to wir fiat? and imperishable lien
or. glory, and fame to the American
Navy, to at once annex these island-
We owe it to the Government at Hono

Mr. Speaker, faom the day that our
noble battleship with her 266 brave sea
man went down tv, death in the dark,
sullen, and mysterious waters of Hav
ana Harbor, victims of cruel, treacher
ous Spanish hatred. I kpew. every one
who felt the public pnlse knew, that
nothing but armed intervention in the
affairs of Cuba to the end that the strug
gling patriots fighting for liberty and
independence should triumph, would
appease the just and awful wrath of an
aroused, awakened American consci
ence. Mr. Speaker, we have entered
! upon a war for humanity the most
holy war ever waged. We have enter
ed upon a struggle to rescue and succor ,
starving childhood and outraged |
womanhood, over 300,0(j0 of wnose

That the results of this war will be of
inestimable value to us as a nation is
now a certainty. That it will result in
a wider, fuller, and better knowledge
of us and onr institutions by the civili
zed nations of tbe world is also a cer
tainy.
When we ha/C fought thi j war to a
glorious finish and the Star® and Stripes
waye proudly over Cuba, Puerto Rico,
Hawaii' and the Philippines, let us build
a navy that will have no equal upon the
seas. Let ur take our place as the
greatest maritime, power upon the
earth. Let us foster our merchant mar
ine, our shipbuilding interests, until
their numbers become as conntless as
thi; stars in the blue vault of heaven, i
sailing every and t »t::ii;ax!di ng the
commerce of every zone.
Let us build the Niearaguan Canal
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
which will unite nations of the Western
Hemisphere in one indissoluble bond of
commercial and trade relations, giving
us the supremacy not only in the trade
of these conntrcs bat also in (he trade

when American ideas, American civiliz
ation and Commerce, arid American
Christianity shall permeate and influence

A Double Anniversary.
The friends of Mr. .S. J Black and
wife, of Marion township, planned a
pleasant surprise party for them, to
take place on the 1 *>th inst The occa
sion was the fiftieth anniversary of Mr.
Black's birth, and the silver wedding of
the pair. The surprise part of the af
fair miscarried at the last, but perhaps
the pleasure of the day was none the
less to all on that account. Most people
would want a little time to brace up be
fore such a tremendous crowd invades
their premises. From eight o'clock
till twelve of the appointed day the
friends of Air. and Mrs Black filed in
from all directions till a really astonish
ing crowd had collected
Living, as your correspondent does,
some miles froui this home, we were
not familiar with the way they have of
turning out in that neighborhood to
honor and encourage their friends. We
are pleased to know that th' j se people
prefer to give a good friend and neigh
bor a royal good cheer while he lives,
rather than wait ti'l he dies and then
flock to the funeral
"May their tribe increase.
An ideal day, and ideal place, a most
splendid dinner, social good time, and a
worthy purpose combined to make the
day one to be remembered After the
dinner was duly "discussed," the meet
ing was organized by calling to the
chair Mr Ephriam Blat.k, of Franklin.
A beautiful address of welcome was
given by Miss Lillie Adams Appropri
ate lemarks were made by Mr. J. J.
McGarvey and Hon. Win. Brahain, of
Harrisville; also by Leander Adams and
James Vandyke, of Marion township
Beautiful and useful presents were
brought forward for Mr. and Mrs
Black by their children and also by
Ephriam hiiii k Leander Adams, James
Sfoan. and others. Among these pres
ents we mention: Two fine rocking
chairs, two sets silver spoons, tea-bell,
watch chain, slippers, etc. These were
presented on behalf of the donors by W.
11.-Brown, of Harris vine. Mr. B Jack
although protesting hi- inability to
speak made a feeling response* A
social good time took up the Test of: the
day. and perfiaps part of the next. For
they do say that the young j'eople re
turned in the evening, and "made a
night of it" in the best sense of the
term.

shock to onr peoulc. It is mneh regret
ted V»v all who knew him He was a
useful citizen, a generous man, an
obliging friend, modest and nnassum

charity and benevolence were praised
by all and he will be missed by many.
Doctor Graham was born in Butler,

John 13 Graham and grandson of Robert
Graham, one of the pioneers of this
place and who gave part of the land
upon which Butler stands. He received
his early education at the common

here. Having studied medicine, when
the late civil war broke out. lsfil, he en
listed for the Union cause and soon be
came an assistant surgeon in the army.
He served as surgeon until the close of
the war and then returned to Butler

a very large practice and obeying the
calls of his profession with great fideli
ty. He leaves a widow and two
daughters who, with his many other
friends and relatives,have the sympathy
of this entire community in their great
loss. His funeral takes place today and
will be largely attended.

Most of us nowadays,
like John Gilpin's wife,
have frugal minds. Yet
how we do hanker after 1
beautiful furniture! And
why not have it ? When
we offer it now at almost
half prices,
Refrigerators.
Six walls to save the ice; char
coal filled, and the porous cells of
charcoal hold air much better than
any other subitance. This re
frigerator costs more to build than
the cheaper kinds, so the price is
a little higher. We sell a good
sized refrigerator as low us •*lO.
Couch s.
1 Next week you will see them
in our show window. Some were
marked sls 00, ionie marked
ifiS.oo. others marked #2O .00 and
011 up to #30.00. All these Couches
are well-made, only one of a kind,
but you can have your choice for
$15.00.
Porch Chairs.
The Hiud vy© sell so many of
will soon be here again. All sold
out to-day, but another lot is on
the way and will be on sale before
you read a!>oiit them. After the
couches are sole we will place
them in the show window at
$1.75.
Screen Doors.
We don't sell the cheap kiud;
nothing but the best. They cost
more money, but they last longer.
Price, complete, $1.25.
