fmmorous Department. OLD TIMES IN MEDFORD. The world is growing better, said Eli Perkins. Who ever heard of a man talking temperance a 100 years ago. My great-grandfather was a Baptist minister in Medford, Mass., then, and it is one of the family records that be once received seven barrels of Medford rum for preaching the gospel a year. You ask me how he realized on it? Why, he used to peddle it out to the congregation. 1 can remernoer well how my grandmother said her good old white-haired father used to call and pray with the brethren, and then beg them to take a few gallons of rum to help the Lord's cause. Now Medford is a temperance town, and a Christian clergyman not a teetotaler would be ostracised. Speaking of these old times in Medford one day, my grandmother said : "Yes, they were simple times. The church service was simple. There were no candles and fiddles and organs in the churches then?no boys dressed up in nightgowns, and not ritualistic service set to music by the middle fiddler of a German band. We didn't have long courtships in those days; and such a thing as flirtation was never known." "Did I ever tell you how simply grandfather came to marry me ?" asked grandmother. "No; how was it?" I asked. "Well, I was a sitting one evening, after spinning all day, and a listening to the old clock tick?tack?tick? tack?when I heard some one at the gate. I opened the door, and there sat Marvin Brewster on his horse with a sheepskin for a saddle. " 'Betty, is that you ?' he asked, modestly. " 'Yes, Marvin.' " 'Well, Betty,' he said, 'the Lord has sent me all the way from Medford to marry you.' " 'The Lord's will be done !' I said. And it was. "They do things differently now," said grandmother, with a sigh. "How ?" I asked. "Well, that worldly Deacon Jen1? ? rtnom nrpflmprv. kids, WOO ruus luc okuu. -. ? j , rode over to Widow Modsod's farm in a yellow buggy yesterday, hustled into the bouse right in the middle of dinner, and gasped : " 'Widder JenkiDS, I'm a man of business. I am worth $10,800, and want you for a wife. I give you just three minutes to answer.' " 'I don't want 10 seconds, old man,' she replied, as she shook out the dish cloth. 'I'm a woman of business, worth $16,000, and I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on earth ! I give you four seconds to git!' "I call that flirting," said grandmother, as she wiped her glasses with a red bandanna handkerchief. The Troubles of a Prophet.? "How hit happen, Brudder Johnsing, dat yo' dun quit preachin' down in Alabamy a'reddy?" inquired an Atlanta Journal man. "W'y my ch'ch quit payin' tenshuD to ennything I say, an' dun shet off my salary." "Dey mus' be mighty bad lot o' brotherin' an'sisterin'down dar."

Not the Last Call.?A literary man who was on the verge of bringing out a book at the Pitt Press ordered his proofs to be sent to him at a house where he was engaged to dine out, intending to look them over in the halfhour after dinner. The printer's boy, however, was late in bringing them, and the gentleman had already joined the ladies in the drawing room when the company were electrified by hearing the sonorous voice of the butler announcing : "The devil from the Pitt has come for Mr. Joues." BaT" An exchange says that an editor once applied to the door of Hades for admission. "Well," replied his sable majesty, "we let one of your profession in here many years ago, and he kept up a continual row with his former delinquent subscribers; and, as we have more of that class of persons than any other, we have passed a law prohibiting the admission of editors." Repairs Wanted.?After a recent railway collision a Scotsman was extricated from the wreckage by a companion who had escaped unhurt. "Never mind, Sandy," his rescuer remarked, "it's nothing serious, and you will get damages for it." "Damages!" roared Sandy. "Hue I no' had enough ? Guid sakes, it's repairs I'm seekin' t? UUU i jJfiF" "An now," said the editor, "let us be thankful for one day of rest and get ready for church." "Yes," said his wife, "run out and chop some wood, and milk the cows, and light the fire, and make the coffee, and wash the children, while I bang my hair!" ^tUscctlaucous ^catlinq. THAT ANONYMOUS LETTER. Concerning the Kluwing Up of the Maine. Washington, March 29.?An interesting feature of the published report of the Maine testimony, issued from the government printing office today, was the famous anonymous letter mentioned in the evidence of Henry Drain, the clerk of the American consulate at Havana. The letter was received by General Lee a few days after the Maine disaster. It is dated February 18th, 1898, and signed "An Admirer." It is in Spanish, written apparently by a fairly well educated person. The certified translation is as follows: "It should be remembered that at dawn of the day of the terrible catastrophe an individual was killed in a small boat together with another who was found wounded and a prisoner. They were going ahout the cruisers Maine and Alfonso XII, and as the said individuals are of the worst antecedents as harbor thieves, I have interested myself in investigating what connection this occurrence could have had with the explosion of the Maine, and I have discovered that those two men, together with another, who is called Pepe Taco, had bought in a hardware store in Mercaderes street, called La Marina, a hose such as is used by divers, and that the three left Regla in a small boat, which they placed under the wharves of Santa Catalina, and they were loitering about more than an hour and a half, while Pepe Taco, who is a corker and a diver, probably the best in these parts, did the work to bring about the explosion of the Maine. With the data I went to Regla and discovered that the family of the dead man, who lived in the utmost misery in a bouse in Rodriguez Batista street, had moved to a wellfurnished one on Gelbert street. There I iearned that they had agreed with some merchants of Muralla street for the work of blowing up the ship for the sum of $6,000?$2,000 in advance and the other $4,000 after seeing the result. But as they did not come out * * ' - * 11 oi me aaveDture very wen, uaviug been attacked when they were retiring, the result of which was the death of one, who left his teeth in the boat, and another one wounded, the third one has not presented himself to collect the rest of the money, and it could be probably secretly done, that by paying him the rest that the others will not now pay him, he would declare the truth of all this. The one whom I called the third is the diver, Pepe Taco, who is unwounded, who is no doubt afraid to present himself to collect the rest. In Muralla street, they tell me, was the place where the business was arranged with Messrs. Garcia Corujedo, Villasuso, Maribona, and whom else I do not remember. The man who is arrested is being administered morphine constantly to see if he will die aud not give evidence, so as not, as they express it, to spoil the affair after it has come off so much to their taste. I certify that the above is a true copy. (Signed) A. Marix, . Lieutenant Commander U. S. Navy, and Judge Advocate. Drain, the consular clerk, stated in his evidence that an effort was made to ascertain the authenticity of this letter, although the consulate was handicapped, having no secret fund. Witness discovered, however, that the name Pepe Taco must have been a mistake, as the man mentioned had died a few days before the explosion took place. Witness thought the name should have been Pepe Barquin, who had died a couple of days after the explosion. DECLARATION OF WAR. run iext oi mtj nnwnn^n mcouiuiiwu* In the dispatches to The Enquirer last Tuesday, it was stated that Senator Rawlings had introduced a resolution declaring for war, and that the resolution had been referred to the committee on foreign relations. The full text of the resolution is interesting : Whereas the war waged by the Kingdom of Spain agaiust the people of Cuba has destroyed the commerce between them and the people of the United States, and its revival will be impossible so long as such war may continue; and Whereas, by the authority of that kingdom, in the course of such war much American property has been destroyed aud many American citizens, without just cause, have been imprisoned and some assassinated in their prison cells; and Whereas, while our ship Maine was at anchor in the harbor of Havana, within the dominion and under the control of the Kingdom of Spain, at a place designated by her authority, that ship and most of the men ou board, in the service of their country, by the explosion of a submarine mine, were wilfully, wickedly and treacherously mangled, and destroyed ; and Whereas the Kingdom of Spain has proven herself incompetent to tranquilize the island of Cuba, either by the methods of peace or by means of ' j * Civilized wuritue, uuu, ucuuiuui^ij, proceeded to make desolate the homes of its peaceful inhabitants, driving men, women and children into guarded camps, detaining them there without making provision to shelter, clothe or feed them, thus wilfully causing their extermination to the number of huudreds of thousands, by the slow and tortuous process of starvation ; and Whereas, against these wrongs, against these revolting acts of inhumanity, this^government has time and again made peaceful protest to the Kingdom of Spain, at the same time endeavoring by a helpful charity to relieve those whom she has thus brought to such dire distress, and our repeated protests having proved unavailing ; and Whereas, firmly convinced that further peaceful protest will prove equally in vain, and that the recognition ol the Republic of Cuba and armed intervention in its behalf by this government will alone be effective for the redress for past and the prevention ol future wrongs ; and Whereas, while regretting the necessity?now imperative?for such action, but mindful of our duty to a neighboring people and to huraauity, and with a consciousness as to the justness ol our cause and that our action will meet with the approving judgment ol all civilized peoples; now, therefore, 1_ _ oe it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assem bled, That the independence of the Republic of Cuba be, aud the same is hereby, recognized, and that war against the Kingdom of Spain be, and the same is hereby, declared ; and the president is hereby authorized and directed to employ the land and naval forces of the United States of America to wage such war to success. "FIGHTING BUB" EVANS. The Officer Who Is to Command the Iowa, the Finest Ship In the Navy. Washington Dispatch, March 27. Captain Robley D.

I learn, wrote personally last week to Emperor Francis Joseph and other sovereigns, including Emperor Nicholas, requesting not precisely intervention, but the life QUEEN REGENT MARIA CHRISTINA. exercise of such influence at Washington as might conduce to a peaceful settlement, without injury to Spain's dignity and vital interests. "I am in a difficult position," she wrote, "having to act as the guardian of the dynasty, which I must not expose to any danger, and at the same time as the defender of the rights, honor and interests of Spain. To surrender Cuba in any form would unquestionably injure the dynasty under which it occurred ; whereas to fight for it would keep those interests intact, together with my country's honor. f But the disadvantages Spain would have to fight under are obvious ; and a peaceful solution would best serve > everv purpose." r * TRIALS OF GENERAL LEE.

Just over the state line, near Grover, on last Sunday a week ago, there occurred a fight or fracas in which Henry Howard, a white man who worked at Jackson's saw mill, was right badly used up by blows over the head with a gun iu the hands of Frauk Turner, also white. It seems that all the participants are trying to keep the matter a secret and hence we have failed to hear it "ou time." The three men, Henry Howard, Frauk Turner and his brother, Bud, were drinking and carousing around together and when they came to Turner's house and were about to separate, fell out and Howard was struck over the head with a gun by Frank Turner. Turner then was about to continue his assault on Howard, who had been knocked down and senseless, but Bud remonstrated with him for such cowardice, whereupon, Frank fell upon him and hit one of his fingers very badly. Howard was left lying outside of the house all night in this condition, aud < next morning Mr. Jackson, hearing about the fight, sent over and had | Howard cared for.

Columbia State, Saturday. It appears to have been customary for sometime for the public schools of the state to charge a small incidental fee of 10 cents a month, or $1 a year. Frequently the patrons complain that this is a perversiou of the public school law and that the trustees have no right to impose this fee, as a public school snouta oe tree in met as wen as iu name. The state superintendent of education recently received a letter from the superintendent of the Laurens graded school, in which it was stated that some of the patrons of the school have refused to pay this incidental fee. Mr. Mayfield forthwith submitted the matter to Attorney General Barber, who has expressed himself as of the opinion that public schools have no right to impose such incidental fees. ' The letter from Mr. Barber reads as follows : Dear Sir?Your reference to this office of the letter of Professor J. B. Watkins, superintendent of the Laurens graded schools, has my attention. I note his statement that the trustees of bis school charge $1 per session for incidental expenses and that a few of the patrons refuse to pay this fee. His inquiry is, "Whether or not the trustees have a right to stop children from school if their parents refuse to pay the fee ?" In the school law of the state there is no authority for the trustees of any * public school charging such incidental fee, and the charge is, therefore, illegal. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the trustees cannot discbarge from the school children whose parents refuse payment. Yours very truly, William A. Barber, Attorney General. READY TO FIGHT. Congressmen Wish to Prove the Sincerity of Their Words by Actions. New York Herald, Wednesday. Representative Robert F. Broussard, of Louisiana, has tendered his resignation to the governor of his state, to take effect immediately upon a declaration of war with Spain, says the Washington correspondent of The Herald. Mr. Broussard left for bis home in Louisiana where he expects to form a regiment, which be will command in the event of war, which he says is sure to come. 4,I have been in receipt of hundreds of letters from citizens in my district," < said he, "offering their services in case of hostilities, and I have decided to organize a regiment of my own. I have spoken and voted, and will speak and vote for war, aud I am willing and anxious to hack up my vote and words with a sword or musket." Mr. .broussard is not tne oniy representative who has announced his intention of giving up a seat in the house for a sword and blue uniform. Representative Sulzer, of New York, was the first to announce that he would raise a regiment in his district, and Representatives Colson aud Berry, both of Kentucky, have expressed their determination to go to the front. The latter was a colonel in the Confederate army. "I am very anxious," said Colonel Berry, "to take a regiment of my old men, their sons and their grandsons, it may be, and go to Cuba with them. We would soon show what American soldiers and Kentucky soldiers at that were made of. We would show them that the men who fought under the blue and the gray, who stood face to face with American bullets, are not afraid of Spaniards." mi POWDER Absolutely Puro ftSonyJteis r Wanted j 4- ?
