McKinley Makes Statement That the Uuited States Will Hold and Govern the Islands Af:er Peace is * Established. At a reception at LoDg Branch, N. J., August 25, President McKinley addressed an audience of 12,000 people and in bis address he said: ''I believe that there is more love for our country and that more people love the flag than ever before. ?Wherever that flag is raised it stands, not for despotism and oppression but for libeity, opportunity and humanity, and what that flag has done for us we want it to do for all people and all lands which by the fortunes of war have come within its jurisdiction.

Wooten, after an illness of 26 days of typoid fever. Her sufferings were geat but she bore them with Christian fortitude, _ knowing that it was far belter to be with the Lord, as she often said during her illness and just a short while before she died, she told her husband j that she was going to heaven. She i has left that blessed assurance that ! she rests now on the other side of i the river with her other brothers and j sisters which number eight, and a > mother, and while our hearts are sad j on account of her absence from us j we are comfoited with the testimony the has left, that with her all is wel'. She was born January 2, 1871), and departed this life August 11, 1893, making bur sipurn in the earthly ! tabernacle 19 years, 7 months and 9 dajs.

According to the New Turk Commercial the cotton men of that city think Neill's twelve million bale estimate entirely too large. Oa the floor of the Stock exchange none of the traders seem to think that the crop will be over 10,500,000 bales at the highest. The mills have been taking orders for cotton goods, both in the United States and abroad, at prices that would allow the spinner to pay 8 cents a pound for middling cotton. Good farmers from differet sections tell us that this years's cotton crop will not be a bit larger than last year's. But it ought to bring a better price, because the world wants it. and the quality promises to be better than last year's storm stuff. Cjtton is opening with unexampled rapidity. Many fields are white already unto harvest. Heavy marketing early in the season will bolster up Neill's guess work and ruin prices. ?Barnwell People. A Negro Regiment "Will Probably be Organized with "White Field Officers. Washington, 4ug- 24 ?Great pressure has been brought to bear on the administration to organize a colored regiment for service in the Philippines. The matter is still under consideration by Secretary Root. It is reported that William P. Duvall, Captain First artillery (regulars) and Lieut. Col. of the Twenty-sixth volunteers, will be made Colonel of the regiment if it is decided to raise the organization. It is also said that I the Lieut.

James Creelraan Visits the Famous j Democrat at His Home. James CreelmaD, the well known j correspondent of the New York Journal, has been visitiDg Hon. Wm.

I have known Mr. Bryan for many years, and during the campaign of 1S0G, I traveled nearly 18,000 miles with him, although I did not support him with my vote. He is today the same sober, deliberate, intense American he was in those blistering, roaring days of multitudes and political upheaval. There is not a shadow i of turning or evasion in his conversation. Unlike Mr. McKinley, he does not shift his ground to suit the occasion. I came to Lincoln to see Mr. Bryan kn/innon Afi?

The interview with Mr. Croker was the result of a statement made to me by him nearly a year ago in London. He said then that he believed Mr. Bryan to be the greatest statesman in America, if not in the world. Mr. Bryan looks older. In a few months he will be 40 years old. He is stouter and weighs 203 pounds. Since the last campaigu he has bought a farm "of 25 acres just outside of Lincoln, and every two or three days the black charger which bore him as ,?? norriflo Viini t/"?

The Democratic leader is a good carpenter and makes his own chicken houses. I saw him carry an armful of melons from the field to his buggy while his wife and children strolled about the scene of plenty and beauty. I have taken the trouble to investigate the story that Mr. Bryan is the richest man in Lincoln. It is preposterous. Mr. Bryan's wealth does not exceed $200,000, and half of that is in real estate. His first profits from his book amounted to $31,000, Oi this he gave $17,000 to various free silver clubs. He also gave $1,500 to found prizes for essays on the science of government in eighteen colleges. His house in Lincoln cost $6,000.

"Wide-open eyes are indicative cf rashness. Brown eyes are said by oculists to be the strongest. Small eyes are commonly supposed to indicate cunning. The downcast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty. The proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye. People of the melancholic temperament rarely have clear blue eyes. Eyes with long, sharp corners indicate great discernment and penetration. The white of the eye showing beneath the iris is indicative of nobility of character. When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil the indication is cool deliberation. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking j from side to side, are frequently in- ! dicative of an unsettled mind. Gray eyes turning green in anger or .excitement aie indicative of a choleric temperament. An eye the upper lid of which , passes horizontally across the pupil i indicates mental ability. It is said that the prevailing colors ! of eyes amoDg patients of lunatic asylums are brown and black. Eyes of any color with weak brows and long, concave lashes are indica- \ tive of a weak constitution. Eyes of which the whole of the 1 iris is visible belong to erratic persons, often with a tendency toward insanity. Eyes that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to indicate great intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes placed close together in the head are said to indicate a pettiness j of disposition, jealousy and a turn for fault-finding. Wide-open eyes, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity without firmness. When the under arch of the upper eyelid is a perfect semi-circle it is indicative of goodness, but also of timidity, sometimes approaching cowardice. All men of genius are 3aid to have eyes clear, slow moving and bright. This is the eye which indicates mental ability of some kind, it doesn't matter what.

There was present at this meeting i a gentleman named Oawfurd, who ( always was on the opposition. Some ' one who bad spent half of his life 1 in Queensland and was owner of vast 1 flocks and herds, was discaDting on 1 the great importance of developing 1 the resources of a part of the world at that time comparatively little known, especially in connection with the wool trade. "Whoever heard,'' said "objector i general," "of wool beiDg grown in the tropics! Nature by giving the 1 sheep a warm fleece intended it for 1 cold climates." The Australian stared at him in 1 amazement. "Why," said he, 'T i have lived there neaily all my life 1 and made my foitune by wool. As to wool growing in the tropics, who on < earth have more wool on their heads 1 than niggers?" There was a roar of laughter, 1 amid which Crawfurd's voice was heard sajing: "You have beaten me. 1 I offer not more objections."

Such is the Judgment of a New Yorker, Who Studied Public Feeling in the Metropolis of the Pearl of the Antillies. Washington, August 23?"Two weeks ago I was in Havana," said Mr. R. J. Spicer, of New York, "and I thought I would do a little investigating on my own account as to the sentiment of the people regarding Americans and American occupation of the island. "After talks with all sorts and conditions of men, I formed the opinion that the vast majority of the citizens of Havana dislike us heartily and that the disappearance of the United States flag will be to them an hour of almost universal rejoicing. I will hazard any reasonable amount of money that my statement is in accord with the facts. We are looked upon as aliens and intruders, and our presence down there is getting more hateful to the Cubans every day. JLney nave notning in sympathy with us, there are no common ties, no similarity of customs or religion. We are distinct races, and these radical differences will continue permanently. ' From no source did I hear aDy expression of a desire for annexation and the annexation sentiment, if it does exist, is confined to a very 3mall majority. The Cubans are willing to accord us thanks for running out the Spaniards, but they are eternally opposed to being absorbed by this country. Even the improvements that we have made for them in sanitary and other matters are obnoxious if they imply that our occupation is going to be prolonged." ftf i <5 In the Civil War our soldiers faced privation and hunger. A little story in H. Clay Trumbull's book, "War Memories of a Chaplain," tells of the spirit in which they sometimes did it. While before Petersburg doing siege work in the summer of 1861, our men had wormy hard tack served out to them. It was a severe trial to the men. Breaking open the biscuits Bnding live worms in them, they would throw the pieces into the trenches, although the orders were to keep the trenches clean. A brigade officer of the day, seeing some of these scraps along our front, called out sharply to our men: ' Throw that hard tack out of the trenches." Then, as the men promptly gathered it up, he added, "Don't you know that you've no business to throw hard tack in the trenches?" Oat from the injured soldier near: there came the reasoDable explanation, "We've thrown it out two or three times, sir, but it crawls back." & Poet's Impressions of Nilsson's Singing.
