calamity, also the. measures taken to bring relief, and is embellished with over 100
balf-tone illustrations from actual photographs.

Chestnut Spring Items.
Aug. 22.—There is no necessity for a
thriving little burg like this to be never
heard from, so here we are.
Mrs. Elias Blauch,of Conemaugh,and
Miss Annie Sibert, of Keyser, were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Blauch, on
Sunday last.
The several-days-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Nathan Keim was buried at
the Chestnut Spring cemetery, on Sun-
day forenoon.
Mr. Ed. D. Miller, of this place, and
Miss Annie Durr, of Masontown, Pa.,
compose the newly married couple we
expect to arrive here this week. We
wish them a happy and prosperous fu-
ture.
Blauch & Livengood are getting their
new cider machine ready, which they
locate in this town. They will soon be
ready to accommodate the public. They
are also drilling wells in the town of
Niverton.
Jacob Kinsinger has a new barn
about completed and a house well un-
der way, on the farm he purchased of
W. C. Livengood. He intends to occu-
py it this fall. :
D. J. Miller informs us that he now
has his house under a galvanized steel
roof and expects to have it finished in
the near future. Mr. Keim should
profit by Mr. Miller's example, and our
“burg” would soon be altogether in the
“swim.”
Most of the school teachers from this

The threshing machines are all very
busy, as people are in a hurry to thresh
since they are obliged to take in damp
grain.
If you have not known yet how it
feels to go to war, just get to dreaming

great row, getting several fingers sev-
ered with a knife. Then. when you

cursion trip. This was some one’s ex-

Beautiful Porto Rico.
Somerset Standard.
Rev. J. H. Sutherland, formerly pas-
tor of the Somerset Presbyterian
church, and well known by many peo-
ple here, is chaplain of one of the U. 8
regiments now in Porto Rico.
From a letter written by Rev. Suth-
erland, dated “Ponce, Island of Porto
Rico, Aug. 4,” which has just been re-
ceived by a friend here,we have been per-
mitted to take the following of general
interest:
“This is the greatest land in the world
—the richest soil, the best climate, the
most beautiful land I ever saw or read
of. The men who get here first will be
in it.
I expect to remain here permanently
with my regiment. This is the hot-
test- month in the year, and it seems
to me much like the month of June in
Pennsylvania. (Cocoas, bananas, limes,
coffee, cane, everything you can think
of, growing in profusion; not a bare
spot on the island.
Ponce is a beautiful city—a land of
Canaan is this. Three crops of almost
everything are harvested each year.
We are just moving farther into the
interior, toward San Juan.”

Outwitied the Spanish.
Lieutenant Marshall H. Stone, adju-
tant of the Second Texas cavalry,
whose company was the first to carry |
arms to the Cubans, relates the follow- |
ing experience connected with their |
mission :
“While we were over in Cuba a Uni-
ted States scout called Shorty
zales was told to deliver an important
dispatch. He set out upon his jour-
ney, riding a mule. I‘earing that he |
would fail into the hands of the Span-
iards, he hit upon a novel plan to keep
the message secret. Taking a rubber
tobacco pouch he put the message into
it. Then he pried open the mule’s
mouth and forced the pouch down the
animal’s throat. He fell into the hands
of the Spaniards,but after being search-
ed was permitted to continue his jour-
ney. The mule was killed aud a veter-
inary surgeon rescued the precious
pouch.”

The Mountain Chautauqua.
The sixteenth annual session of this
famous Chautauqua will be held Au-
gust 4th to 26th. It is the most superb
and sensible summer resort in America,
2,800 feet above sea level on the line of
the picturesque B. & O. The climate
and scenery and social surroundings
are all that could be desired and $300,-
000 have been spent in improvements.
Mountain Lake Park is furnished with
electric lights, and water works are now
being put in. Five splendid hotels and
two hundred and fifty cottages, many
of which receive boarders, open their
doors at reasonable rates to tourists.
The charming lake furnishes excellent
boating and fishing. The Chautauqua
Nummer Schools are in session for four
weeks. They include thirty depart-
ments of important study under the
care of enthusiastic and capable teach-
ers out of leading American colleges. |
The Chautauqua program with three
entertainments daily furnishes the best |
thing in lectures, entertainments and |
music which genius can devise or mon-
ey procure. The beautiful detailed
illustrated program can be secured by

Shelley’s Prophecy.
To the Editor of the New York Sun:
Sir—Was Shelley prophet as well as
poet? In “The Revolt of Islam,” writ-
ten 1817, I find these verses:
There is a people mighty in its youth,
A land beyond the oceans of the west,
Where, though with rudest rites, freedom
and truth
Are whorshipped.

Who since high Athens fell,among the rest
Sate like the queen of nations, but in woe
Turns to her chainless child for succor now
And draws the milk of power in wisdom’s
fullest flow.
From a glorious moth-
This land is like an eagle whose young gaze
Feeds on the noontide beam, whose gold-
en plume
Floats moveless on the storm and in the
blaze
Of sunrise glenms when earth is wrapped
in gloom.
Great people! As the sands shalt those be-
come.
Thy growth is swift as. morn when night
must fade.
The multiudinous earth shall sleep beneath
thy shade.
Nay, start not at the name—America!

A Prophecy Fulfilled.
Comes a cry from Cuban water,
From the warm, dusk Antilles,
From the lost Atlantis’ daughter,
Drowaned in blood as drowned in seas;
Comes a cry of purpled anguish—
See her struggles! Hear her cries!
Shall she live, or shall she languish?
Shall she sink, or shall she rise?
Shall she rise by all that’s holy?
Shall she live, and shall she last—
Rise as we, when erushed and lonely,
From the blackness of the past?
Bid her strike! Lo,it is written
Blood for blood and life for life!
Bid her smite as she is smitten;
Stars and stripeswere born for strife.
Once we flashed her lights of freedom—
Lights that dazzled her dark eyes
Till she could but yearning heed them,
Reach her hands and try to rise.
Then they stabbed her, choked
drowned her—
Ah,these rustling chains that bound her!
Oh, these robbers at her throat!
her,
And the land that forged these fetters?
Ask five hundred years of news.
Stake and thumbscrew for thoir betters?
Inquisitions! Banished Jews!
Chains and slavery! What reminder
Of one man in that land?
Why, these very chains that bind her
Bound Columbus, foot and hand!
She shall rise as rose Columbus
From his chains, from shame and
WIrong—
Rise as morning, matchless, wondrous;
Rise as some rich morning song;
Rise a ringing song a story,
Valor, love personified.
Stars and stripes espouse her glory,
Love and liberty allied.

And are sweeter than Italy’s wines;

They gather the delicate sea-weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;

And at night time are folded in slumber
By a song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toil bravely are strangest;
The humble and poor become great;
And so from these brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state,
The pen of the author and statesman—
The noble and wise of the land—
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.
