After all, there is really only a differ-

president and the manifest purpose of
congress. The president would give Spain
another chance to get out; congress would

Gen. Lee’s presence in Washington has
had two distinct effects. One is to inten-

the course of his judgment.

Was at the Taking of Vicksburg and the
Magistrate Let Him Go.
New York Herald.
James Kelly, a gray haired, elderly man,
who was arrested Tuesday night for beg-
ging, was arraigned in the Jefferson mar-
ket court before Magistrate Pool. The man
said he was a hatter, but that he had lost
his place and, having no home, no friends
and no money, he had been compelled to
beg. He spied the button of the Loyal
Legion on the lapel of Magistrate Pool’s
coat and said:
“Your honor, I was in the war myself.”
“In any fights?” asked the magistrate.
“I was at the taking of Vicksburg.”
“On what vessel?”
“The Carondelet.”
.“Who commanded her?”
“Capt. McLoud Murphy.”
“That’s right. You have my sympathy.
I guess you can go.”

The Tribune submits that this is not the
proper time to settle a labor dispute con-
cerning the wages to be paid upon the
local fortifications. Without questioning
the fairness of the carpenters’ contention
for their regular scale of 35 cents an hour,
the sensible and patriotic thing to do, it
occurs to The Tribune, is for the carpen-
ters to continue the work under the scale
fixed by Lieut. Riche and appeal to the
war department for the difference of 5
cents an hour. Uncle Sam has never been
niggardly with his employes and will not
be in this instance. Meanwhile if the
forts here are needed at all they will be
needed mighty bad, and the loss of an
hour right now may mean a great deal
hereafter.

Scared When a Woman Proposed to Enlist
2000 Female Sailors.
New York Sun.
A woman who habitually seeks notoriety
called on Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn
of the war department the other day and
asked him if there would be any objection
to mustering in several regiments of wom-
en, who were armed, equipped and uni-
formed and waited only the word to march
to the front.
Mr. Meiklejohn was obliged to admit
that he thought sex was a bar, and ad-
vised the woman to apply to congress.
The woman also offered the services of
2000 sailors for the regular navy to Asslst-
■ ant Secretary R'oosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt

MRS. F. A. HAUSLEIN, 3816 P.
Gen. Lee unreservedly expresses the
conviction that the Maine was exploded
by Spanish design—not by Gen. Blanco or
with his knowledge, but nevertheless by
Spanish officials or persons in collusion
with Spanish officials.
Opinion is not proof. But the judgment
of a man like Lee, who has been on the
ground, who was there before and after
the explosion, who for two years has ob-
served Spanish methods and breathed the
atmosphere of Spanish rule in Cuba, is
worth as much in arriving at a just con-
clusion as the direct testimony of an eye
witness.
In relation to certain things there is
evidence in the air more convincing than
overt acts or specific utterances. Every
lawyer and every man who has served on
a jury has heard a witness tell a perfectly
straight tale, confirmed by other wit-
nesses, and yet has been morally certain
that the witness was lying. Many juries
have been compelled to render unjust ver-
dicts on such testimony.
In a. court of law, judgments must be
rendered upon the oral testimony, as the
Maine court’s judgment was rendered. If
the case were one simply for damages
against Spain, we would have to let it go
at that. But conclusions in a matter of
national honor are formed upon other
than oral testimony. The intangible evi-
dence of the convictions of just minds is
. more trustworthy than denials of partisan
witnesses.
The nation is not a litigant. It is a sov-
ereign, concerned solely as to its own dig-
nity and taking advice solely of its own
welfare. If it believes as Consul General
Lee believes, as Captain Sigsbee believes
and as its people almost unanimously be-
lieve, that the Maine was exploded by the
Spaniards, that is the verdict by which it
must stand, and it is not competent for
any power or combination of powers to
review or reverse , the judgment. This is
what sovereignty means, for sovereignty
is above and beyond appeal or jurisdiction.

The French Thief, Who Helped Pluck
Max Lebaudy, Sentenced.
New York Sun.
Louis Alfred Balensi, who was convicted
under the name of William Bellwood for
obtaining by false pretenses jewelry val-
ued at $18,000 from the firm of Marcus &
Co. of Union square, was sentenced to six
years’ imprisonment yesterday. by Judge
Newburger in part four of the court of
general sessions. Balensi is the man who
helped to pluck Max Lebaudy, known as
the “Sugar Bowl” of Paris. After sen-
tencing Balensi, Judge Newberger said he
would make an order disposing of the
stolen property. The army of lawyers in
the court room who are engaged in legal
fights for possession of the diamonds
crowded around the judge’s railing with
anxiety pictured on their faces. Judge
Newburger ordered that two diamond
necklaces and a pair of diamond earrings
pawned with William Simpson & Co., and
covered by the indictments, be returned to
Marcus & Co., and that the rest of the
property produced in court be returned to
the pawnbrokers.
As soon as Balensi’s term of imprison-
ment expires he will be taken back to
France, where he has been convicted of
embezzlement. A warrant for his arrest
sworn out by the French consul will be
sent up to Sing Sing to be served upon
Balensi the day of his release.

Respectable Lineage of a Much-Disputed
English Idiom.
New York Sun.
The idiom “had rather” is legitimate
English. It was admitted into the lan-
guage some hundreds of years ago, and it
can not be crowded out by the misguided
persons who want to make over English
to suit their own ideas. We quote from
the Century Dictionary:
“To have rather, to hold, regard, or con-
sider as preferable; a phrase equivalent
to, and used like, to have liefer, and of
much later origin, not being- found, appa-
rently, before the 16th century; followed
by an infinitive with, or (as now usually
without) to, and now only with the pre-
terit had.”
“Have rather.” like “ have liefer,” “had
liefer,” and “had liverest,” the last a
form found in Sir Thomas North and
other Elizabethans, has disappeared; but
“had rather” has lived through 350 years
or so, the period during which most of the
best English literature has been written,
and it is just as good today as it was
when Shakespeare and the makers of the
King James Bible used it.
Some unfamiliar with the English lan-
guage and English literature imagine that
they are showing a superior knowledge
and correctness by kicking against “had
rather,” pursing up their lips and saying
in the prune-potato-prism manner of the
General in “Little Dorritt,” “I would
rather.” They are not displaying superior
knowledge and correctness. They are
guilty of an affectation founded upon igno-
rance. They will never know much aoout
English until they understand that Eng-
lish is what it is. not what it ought to be
or what they think it ought to be.
The voluble attorney of the New York
Cuban junta has had nothing to say since
the country uttered its protest against his
dictation. The Cubans will find nothing
to complain of in the ultimate effect of
the present movement of the United
States.

A remarkable spectacle was presented
yesterday at the Methodist Episcopal con-
ference In this city, when some 300 minis-
ters of the gospel, representing a church
membership of nearly 60,000, rose in their
places, and, with but three dissenting
voices among them, placed the seal of ap-
proval upon an indictment of Spain which
has not been exceeded in vigorous and un-
compromising expression. The Methodist
preachers are not more patriotic than are
their brethren of other denominations.
But in their weekly meetings, which are
public, they have enjoyed an opportunity
to record their indignant protest against
the conditions in Cuba; and they have not
been slow to avail themselves of the op-
portunity to prove that the spirit of the
church is not less aggressive in the cause
of right than it was a generation ago.
This arraignment is remarkable in its
scope and the set terms in which it as-
sails the Spanish government. It is re-
markable in that it voices the sentiment
of a body of men embracing a large num-
ber of distinguished and most conserva-
tive divines. It must be most welcome to
the president, coming as it doe's from the
representatives of that church to which
he owes individual allegiance and upon
whose spiritual guidance he has been wont
to depend in every crisis of life.
This indictment is not open to the scorn
or indifference of those who are accus-
tomed to regard clergymen as capable
only of dealing in moral and religious gen-
eralities in a case of this sort. In 10
counts it pillories Spain for each of her
leading offenses against Cuba and the
United States. It is intensely practical
and comprehensive in its view, sweeping
from commerce to diplomacy, from treaty
obligations to the destruction of the
Maine, from barbarity in warfare to the
problem of independence. It lays bare the
American heart, which is controlled by
the soundest of American heads, and finds
a fitting peroration in these words:
“Humanity, honesty, virtue, reason, lib-
erty, civilization and Christianity demand
the expulsion of this last consummate
specimen of the criminal cruelties of a
Latin civilization from the island, whose
shores are touched by the same tides that
wash the coasts of this republic.”
With applause and the singing of the
national hymn, this pledge of 300 men of
peace and preachers of the word was sent
on its way to the national capital to an-
swer every foreign charge of mercenary
motive in the attitude of the United
States toward Cuba. But the Methodist
preachers are only pioneers in the church
militant. Others will follow, for the
American pulpit, now as in the past, har-
bors American patriots, with whom the
cry of peace is potent only so long as it
presupposes the retention of honor and
compliance with divine law and the man-
dates of humanity.

The ordin^y every-day life of mostof our women is a ceaselesstreadmill of work.
How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of iha
female organs makes every movement painful and
keeps the nervous system unstrung!
The following letter from Mrs. Walter S. Banta,
Sparkill, N. Y., tells the story of many women,
and shows them how to get relief: /
“DearMrs. Pinkham:—I cannot thank you
enough for all Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound h as done for me. When I wrote to
you I had suffered for years with falling, in-
flammation and ulceration of the womb;
my back ached, and I was so much
distressed I could scarcely walk. I
was a burden to myself and did not
care whether I lived or died.
“I have taken five bottles of your
medicine and it has done wonders for
me as all my friends can testify. I can z
now do my own work, and do not know
how to express my gratitude to you for
the good your
have done me.
Pinkham. ”
Mrs. Pinkham’s counselisoffered free
to all women who need advice about
their health. Her address is Lynn,
Mass. Mrs. P. H, Hutchcboft, Kel-
lerton, Iowa, tells here in her own
words how Mrs. Pinkham helped her;
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—-I was in a
very bad condition before I wrote to
you and began the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I
did not know what to do. I suffered
terribly every month, when on my
feet would have such a bearing-down feeling, was very weak, womb was
swollen, back ached, appetite was very poor, also had trouble with my head.
I have taken several bottles of your Compound and cannot say enough in its
favor. It helped more than all the doctors.”

day. There was a party of 10 on board
when the stanch old 20-year-old coach
pulled away from the hotel behind as
sporty a looking four as any whip ever
tooled up Fifth avenue and into Central
park. The leaders, Splash and Flash, were
skewbalds, bay heads and half necks,
part of manes and foreheads white, quar-
ters and rear hind legs a mixture of bay
and white. The wheelers, 16 hands, were
steady, substantial and business-like, as
wheelers should be, the near horse gray,
the off black.
The route—that which the coach will
take daily, about 18 miles—was through
the lower end of Central park, through
Seventy-second street, up Riverside drive
—rapidly becoming one of the most mag-
nificent residential thoroughfares in the
world—from Grant’s tomb, down to the
boulevard, and thence to Seventh avenue
and 124th street, where the first change of
horses was made.
This daily coach, bookings on which are
open, is the first public conveyance of the
sort which has been run for some three
or four seasons. Several well known soci-
ety whips, amateur coachmen, have pre-
empted the driving seat, the “cushion,”
as it is called, right through the season,
but the six or eight seats for regular pas-
sengers are open.
Among those who will drive are: Mon-
days, Mr. James Sheldon, a well known
English amateur whip; Tuesdays, Mr. T.
Suffern Toiler; Wednesdays, Mr. Tracy
Dows; Fridays, Mr. Eugene Reynal, and
Saturdays, Mr. J. F. A. Clark. Unless
otherwise engaged, the coach will be
tooled on Thursdays by Aurel Batonyi, the
professional whip.
The Good Times was built in England
more than 20 years since, but two years
ago was fitted with new wheels and axles
in this city. It is a regulation road coach,
carrying 11 outside passengers, driver and
guard. Its -weight is 2,675 pounds. The
colors are black and yellow. The regu-
lar return route will be by way of Jerome
avenue, over Macomb’s Dam bridge, down
Seventh avenue and through Central park
to Fifth avenue, to the Astoria. This out
and in route is through much of the best
residential section of upper New York and
along some of the most picturesque roads
in the suburban district.

THE SUN WILL SHINE TOMORROW.
Prof, Goldwin Smith has grouped five
essays, “Guesses a.t the Riddle of Exist-
ence,'
ment,” “Is There Another Life,” “The
Miraculous Element in Christianity” and
“Morality and Theism,” into a volume
which is just from the press of the Mac-
Millan company, 66 Fifth avenue, New
York.
Three of the essays have appeared as
articles in magazines, and the- others are
of like character. Therefore, the reader
of current reviews will not need to be
told that they are agnostic.
In the general tenor of argument they
are not conspicuously different from the
common run of naturalistic literature.
They lack the brilliancy of rhetoric of
Ingersoll, but they escape the sogginess
of the German school, and strike a sort
cf middle ground alike of style and toler-
ance, which is without offence to the
Christian reader. And they stop short of
atheism. They hold out no promise of
a future life, no direct belief in miracle,
no faith in a personal God; yet they do
not seek to disprove the perpetuation of
identity beyond the grave; they concede
the surpassing goodness of Jesus Christ
and they convey the impression that
neither science nor philosophy has suffi-
ciently accounted for the universe. In
short, they are truly and politely ag-
nostic.
In a way the volume is more of a critical
review of current philosophies, such as

WEDNESDAY EVEN’G, APRIL 13, 1898.
The One Thing that Kept Her From Going
as a War Nurse.
Washington Evening Star.
“Well, if you go, I’m going as a nurse,
and that’s all there is about it?” she said
to him the other night, when he threw it
out pretty strongly that he’d probably be
fighting for his country in Cuba before a
fortnight.
“Oh,” he replied, “that’s out of the ques-
tion, you know. You’d get the fever.”
“Don’t care.”
“And even if you didn’t die you’d be the
Color of an unripe orange for the rest of
your life.”
“Don’t mind that.”
“Then you might get beri-beri. People
that live after having beri-beri are holy
frights for the rest of their days.”
“All right.”
“And you’d never get the smell
bolic acid out of your nostrils.”
“Very well. If you go I am going too.”
“Of course you’d have to have that fine
lot of hair of yours cut off, to prevent in-
fection.”
“ji'.h—don’t mind that, either.”
“And you’d have to wear rubber gloves
that’d make your hands look bigger’n
hams.”
“That’s immaterial.”
“Fellows that have been down there and
know tell me that the Cuban hospitals are
simply alive with rats and mice—”
“Goodness gracious! George, must
go?”

In These Days Hostilities Often Begin
Without Warning.
New York Herald.
Notwithstanding the fact that most peo-
ple consider a formal declaration of war
necessary before active measures can be
taken, it is usually the case in these go-
ahead times that no warning whatever is
given. <
When Rome was mistress of the world a
declaration of war was a solemn function,
attended with so much ceremony that a
special college of heralds was always kept
in readiness t^perfertn it when necessary.
In mediaeval . times letters of defiance
served to g’V'e warning of hostile inten-
tions, and stifl?.later heralds were sent to
throw down gauntlet and make a ver-
bal declaratiofisbf waL
In such tin^:§ formal declarations were
necessary to ditfereni{iate between the pri-
vate brawls of a Lew barons and a na-
tional war for whi'^ the community was
responsible, but at the present day total
concealment as lonj/- 'as possible is the al-
most universal rule. The objects, says a
writer in TiSjSit^ of this are usually
either to antietpate the designs of some
other power, to avoid the on-us of admit-
ting a state of war as long as possible or
gain time by swiftness-’of attack.
The latest instances of formal declara-
tion by herald were in 1635, when Louis
XIII sent a herald to declare war against.
Spain and in 1657, when Sweden declared
war against Denmark by herald sent to
Copenhagen; while as late as 1671 war be-
tween England and Holland was declared
by solemn proclamation.
As the most recent cases are those likely
to influence the conduct of nations in the
immedite future, the wars of the present
century are of the greatest Interest at
the present crisis.
In the quarrel between Russia and Tur-
key which immediately preceded the Cri-
mean war, a formal declaration was Is-
sued at Moscow by proclamations of the
czar, and three days later, after the
Turks were well aware of the state of af-
fairs, operations were commenced in ear-
nest.
In the cases of Britain and France less
consideration was shown. War was form-
ally declared by Britain on March 22, 1854,
and on the 31st it was proclaimed by the
high sheriff of London from the steps of
the exchange. But these declarations
were made merely to justify the step to,,
the people and to ask for their approval
and help. Before that time active opera-
tions had commenced by the entry of the
British and French fleets into the Darden-
elles, contrary to treaty, and the forced
retreat of the Russian fleet to Sebastopol
when the allies reached the Black sea.
On Feb. 8 the Russian minister was
withdrawn from London, and the British
and French ministers from St. Petersburg.
Although such a step usually precedes
war, and is often regarded as equivalent
to a declaration, it only signifies that all
hope of successful diplomatic negotiation
has been abandoned and that war is likely
to ensue. It does not necessarily imply a
state of war, such a state requiring some
definite act of hostility.
In the opium war of 1840, the Italian
wars of 1847 And 1849, the Anglo-Persian
war of 1856, the wars between Austria and
France in 1859, Prussia and Schleswig-Hol-
stein in 1863, and Brazil and Uraguay in
1864, various hostile acts were committed
before any declaration of war was made,
although in some cases manifestoes were
issued to neutral powers. In the Austro-
' Italian war of 1859, the Austro-Prussian
■ w>ar of 1866 and’the Russo-Turkish war of
I 1877 the declar-ation and active operations
were practically, synonymous. In the last
> mentioned case-, fqg example, the porte
1 received a copy of tih.e declaration on the
evening of April 24,:!Hie very day on which
50,000 Russian!troops crossed the Rouma-
nian frontier, y,. .
The most notable instance in the present
century of a formal 'declaration of war be-
ing made before actual operations were
begun was tliat of9the Franco-Prussian
war in 1870. In this case the declaration
was almost tfofeed, as the French, who
were the aggressors,'voted large war cred-
its on July 15, and on the following day
the French minister returned to Paris. A
formal declaration of hostile intentions
was then sent to Berlin and laid before
the parliament of the North German con-
federation on July 20.
On Nov. 12, 1885, Britain was honored by
a declaration of war from King Theebaw
of Buririah, but it was a needless formal-
ity on the part of his dusky majesty, for
the British troops were already on the
way to his capital, and the only reply to
his challenge was his deposition, which
immediately ensued.

Brought to America by the Secretary
Joseph Bonaparte, Fugitive King.
Ladies’ Home Journal.
In 1817 Joseph Bonaparte’s secretary,
Maillard, left Philadelphia armed with let-
ters which represented him to be a trav-
eling agent for Girard’s commercial house
and visiting Girard’s correspondents in
Holland and Switzerland. His real desti-
nation was the Swiss chateau at Pran-
gins, from which the king had fled two
years before, and his real object to. se-
cure the treasure which had been buried
in the ground of the estate on the eve
of his flight. Maillard found the buried
packets, and with them he would also
have brought to Philadelphia Queen Julie
if her physicians had not compelled her to
renounce the project of joining her hus-
band.
The jewels, which were valued at one
million dollars, were stuffed into a belt
which Maillard wore on his person when,
returning across the Atlantic, and with
which he was gladly received by his mas-
ter in the- Lansdowne house, near Phil-
adelphia. It was about this time that
wil'd rumors began to circulate in Phila-
delphia concerning the ex-king’s riches
and of the hordes of specie which he had
deposited in the vault of Stephen Girard’s
Philadelphia bank. Mysterious heavy
boxes, sealed with wax, were believed by
Girard’s clerks to contain the crown jew-
els of Spain and Naples. One or two old
men in recent years, who were then
among those clerks, have told how Jos-
eph would sit in the bank talking with
them affably while waiting for the great
banker.
