There Is a woman In Keynoldsvillo who has a very slanderous tongue which is almost continuously working to at least attempt to Injure other people. A slanderous story Is a sweet morsel for her, and tho story never loses any by being rolled under her tongue. The woman's past reputation should bo enough to forever seal her lips from uttering a word against any person whohaseven committed a wrong, and yet she gems prowling around to find something on which to taint the reputation of others. She Is. ouo of those women that Is a curse to any community. Sho wants to sit In judge ment on tho action of other people. Sho poses A3 a christian and judges others by her own hypocritical life. Have you ever neon her? She is often on tho streets. Tho Pittsburg Dispntrh has made elab orate arrangements to Bccure every do' tall of the war that has been Inaugurated between the United States and Spain. Dozens of staff correspondents are al ready at all points where war develop ments are possible. They are In Spain, in Cuba, scattered all over the West Indies and Southern States, and accom- , panying the various squadrons at sea. Fast ocean vessels have been chartered to bring tidings from points where cable and telegraph lines are not avail' able. No expense Is spared In these arrangements. The regiments going to tho front from Pennsylvania will be ocompanied by staff correspondents, with Instructions to use every effort to provide daily information of the movements of the soldier boys for those who are left behind. This feature will be conducted with particular care. The Dispatch expects to koop track of every single volunteer from every flection in which its leadership as newspaper is acknowledged. An official report from tho War Do partment, December, 1807, shows the peace and war footing of the United States and Spain to be as follows United States, peace footing, 27,531; soldlors; war footing 140,402. Spain peace footing !t')2,lU7 soldiers; war foot ing, 1,512,107. In the peace and war footing of all the first to fourth class powers, Russia is ahead, with 1,743,244 peace footing and 5,008,284 war footing, and the United States Is practically at the bottom of tho list. Foreign coun tries judge us by a comparison of the standing armies of other nations, and our army of 27,000 men and reserve or militia of about 110,000, ocoaslons, On their part, a fueling towards us of con' tempt and superiority. This applies to Spain to-day. Had it been understood among the masses in Spain' that the United States had not alone an army as above given, hut also an enlisted reserve force of several millions of men, we doubt if the war between this country and Spain would now be on. There Is now a proposition on foot for the United States to take the leading place from a military standpoint, among the nations of the glode. Thin is to be accomplished by the creation of a National Volunteer Unserve, whose object 'shall bo the strengthening of the available Naval and Military forces of the United State by the organization ol a citizen soldiery of patrlotlo volunteers of proper age and physical qualifications to bear arms, who shall , sign an enlistment blank agreeing, in event of war between the United States nd any foreign power, to take up arms if called upon by the constituted authorities of his State, or of the United States, through the lawful existing channels! It is believed that such an orjraolxation would bring out from two to five million volunteer. ' COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. Graduating Class' Orations Excellent An Able Alumni Address Ban quet a Success. In our tnst Issue wo gave nn uccount of tho biiecnlnurettto sermon and junior contest, therefore, this week wo will confine our remurks to tho graduating class, alumni address and bnnquot.

Then followed the orations by tho graduates, Inter spersed with music by orchestra.

Thursday evening tho Alumni As sociation held a reunion in Assembly hall. A memorial paper on the death of Mrs. J. H. Murray, tire Mildred Fuller, who was president of the Alum ni last year, was read by Miss Minnie Whitmore. It was a beautiful, touch ing and fitting tribute to tho memory of a noble character. This was followed by reading by Miss Susie Sehultze. Then the Rev. Georgo Sylvester Worn or, of Nescopeck, Pu., was Introduced to deliver tho Alumni address. His subject wns, "Tho Inlluenees of a Schol nstic Training on Intellectual Life," which ho handled In a masterly manner. Rev. Womer's host of friends hero were well pleased to hear him and delighted to know that he has become such an able public speaker. The alumni banquet was held at Ifotel MuConnull Thursday evening, Mine Host Black had been notified that ubotit sixty persons would attend the banquet and when the number was run up to ninety-two shortly before tho ban queting hour, his plans were somewhat disarranged, but Mr. Bluck Is usually equal for any emergency and he was not downed on this occasion. A feast of good things was ready for the ban' quoters. After the Inner man had been sutlsfied a number of toasts were re sponded to. Prof. Lenkerd was toast master. It was an exceedingly pleasant occasion. The banquet was closed by a few touching remarks from Rov. Worn' er on home, mother, &c, which ho closed with a request that all present join In singing "Home, Sweet Home," which they did heartily. A Clever Trick.
