If you want to get married in a hurry without the publicity, expense and luss and leathers of a city wedding the ni itter can be readly accomplished, Sos a Chicago exchange. Just take a trip to Milwaukee on the whale back, and on the way np, iust before entering Milwaukee, Rev. J. C. Urodfuhier will perforin the ceiemony. Of course on wi'l be expected to furnish ihe bride, all Dr. Jirodfuhrer can do being to supply the license, the ceremony and witnesses. It only takes a minute and $2 and you aud the girl are man and wife Hust as tightly though the Archbishop of Cantetlmry had performed the ceremony. Some time ago Rev. Mr. Brod fnhrer disco ered by reading the newspapers that a great many young couppes went on the whaleback every day and were there married, coujoles who 'vished to avoid the notoriety and expense ol a wedding in Chicago. In Wisconsin, as is well known, no marriage license is required, and all that is neces sary is a bride, a groom and a minister, and there is your wed ding. Rev. Mr. Brodluhrer, be ing a hard working Chicago mini.-tc, di.i not see the con siateucy of having all the reven ties accuiiu' from these weddings of Chicago people going to Milwaukee p.isons. How to stop this sinful waste was the question, and at last he solved it. Ride on the whaleback and many the couples en route! This was no trouble at all. The management of the steamer was agreeable to big the the plan of carrying a minister on every trip, and Rev. Mr. I'rodfuhrer was regularly in stalled as one of the daily pa.-s-engers. On every trip he takes up his station where he can watch the crowd coming aboard, and ii he sees a couple looking at all as if it might turn out to be a match he walks down aud hands out his caul, saying he will be around later. Ii there is a wedding iu sight that is enough. Just as soon as the three-mile limit is passed and the steamer is under Wis con. si si jurisdiction Rev. Dr. IJrodfuhrer comes to the front, the couples are lined up in the cabin aud the weddings are pulled off with ease and dispatch. Sometimes there are none. Sometimes there are three or four. All is fish to Rev. Ikodfuhrers' net, and he wishes the excursion season would last all the year. New Perils For Soldiers. Wounded Heroes Besieged by Pretty Brooklyn GirU. New York, Aug. a. Alter vie- i- ! .. 1 4 ... Z -!.,-. 1,i.-rlifa I of San Juan aud coming out of the fierce struggle with honora ble wounds, the soldiers who are convalescing in the hospitals of South Brooklyn find themselves the prisoners ot a regiment of heroworshiping girls. Not one of them can s.t foot outside St. Peter's or the Long Island College Hospital without being surrounded by at least J half a dozen feminine arms aud j compelled to surrender. i Not that the soldiers mind it in the least, they surrender without even a show of resis tance, but the hospital authori ties are completely disgusted to day and ray that the hero wor shiping girls are keeping the men out long after hours when they ought to be in bed testing. Partly through hero-worship and partly through baneful ex ample set by the young woman who kissed Hobson, the girls cluster about the hospital gates as thick as butterflies in June, and every wounded soldier who corncs out has to clear a way tor him self.

Been All Military and Na val Commanders Ordered to Stop Fighting. Special from Washington, under date of August 12 says: An official statement for press publication setting out the pro ! visions 01 the peaee protocol was read cl II d approved at the Cabinet session tosday. It wai prepared by Secretary Day, the purpose being to make it pubs lie immediately after the requi red signatures had been affixed to the protocol. It does not give the text of the document, but details its main and provis ions, which are as follows: 1. Tli at Spain will relin quish all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba. 2. That Porto Rico and other Spanish Islands in the Ladaoues to be selected by the United States shall be ceded to the latter. 3. That the United States will occupy and hold the city, oay ana harbor ot iianiiia, pen ding the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the control, disposition aud gov eminent of the Philipines. 4 That Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish islands in the West Indies shall be im mediately evacuated and that commissioners to be appointed within thirty days from the signing of the protocol, meet at Havana and San Juan, respec tively to arrange and execute the details of the evacuition. 5. That the United States aud Spain will each appoint not more than five commission ers to negotiate aud conclude a treaty of peace. The commis sioners re to meet in Paris not later than the first of October. 6 On the signing of the protocol, hostilities will be sua- j penned and notice to that enect will be given as soon as possi ble by each government to the commanders of its military and naval forces. As soon as the peace protocol was signed the President sent for Secretary Alger and Long and General Corb'u and by his direction orders to cease hostili ties forthwith were sent to Gen eral Miles, General Merritt and General Shafter, to Admiral Dewey, aud Admiral Sampson and military commanders gen erally. FRANCE INTENT IN SPATN'S DEBT. It is understood that ihe part of Spain's debt which is held in France amounts to several mil ion of dollars. France knows that Spain cannot pay it at least, she has reasons for think ing she cannot. Spain's fiuau ces are iu a deplorable con dition. It is stated that her na tional debt amount? to about $2,000,000, the an nu .1 interest charge on which is aid to be pretty nearly equal the whole income of the government in prosperous years. It n appar ent, therefore, that Spain can not pay the interest on her debt that she is, in fact, bankrupt. That being the case, it is prob ably that all the influence France can bring to bear upon the commission which will draw up the treaty of ptace, will be ex erted to get the part of Spain'., debt owned in France either paid or guaranteed by the Uni ted States. Oir commissioners will never agree, however, that our govern-1 ment shall assume or guarantee any part of Spain's debt, or per mit it to become a charge against Cuba. If a clause should; by any means get into the treaty making either the United States or Cuba responsible for debt, the Senate would strike it out. The war has cost the country all that the people intend it shall cost, unless it should become neces sary to give Spaiu other exhibit tiou of their strength and valor. In fact, it is doubtful if our gov ernment will consent that Cuba shall be held responsible for the bonds Trhich have been issued by Spain to subjugate Cuba. It certainly will not unless a ma jority of the Cuban people exs press a willingness to pay thesa bonds. But as far as the Spans ish bonds held by the French people are concerned, Spain must pay fer them if she can. If she casnot, th French peopli will never set again their hard- IN DAW An Enterprising Man Who Made S3oo by Reading to the Miners All About the Maine. Claude Smith tells a novel story about the way news of the blowing up of the Maine was re ceived iu Dawson City. An en terprising Yankee got hold of the first copy of a newspaper containing the account. He made arrangements for getting the news abroad iu this business like fashion. Renting a vacant saloon build mg he caused bulletins to be issued giving an inkling of the character of the news that had been received, most judiciously worded and announcing that the full account would be read in public in the evening in the mammoth one-story log edifice next the Blue Ruin dive on Brim stone street ; admission 2 'pens nyweights of gold, ranging in value from $1 50 to $1.75. At the appointed time the miners gathered to hear the news, and 200 or more of them tossed their gold dust into the doorkeeper's scales aud crowded inside. The reading was satis factory, if the news was not, and there was no grumbling about investment. No less than S300 and probably much more, was realized from that idea. The reader was a liberal sort of a chap, and he rea 1 the other news in the paper merely as a courtesy to the assembly. This practice grew as the na tion r.ejred war, s 11 d after the war began, and it is a frequent occurence for a public reading of important news to be given in Dawson at so much per head for admission.. And the cooped up men pay for nothing more cheerfully than for war news. Their liberality in tin matter is sometimes taken advantage of, and stale news palmed off for news, aud even the Dawson City public is discriminating 111 this particular, and is strongly disposed to resent the swindle. BALANCE SHEET OF WAR. Victory Has Been the Reward of the Best Equipped. London News. With the fall of Santiago the third month of the Spanish -American war is brought to a close. Victory has been the re ward of the best equipped bat talions, if not always the heaviest. Both Americans and Spaniards have shown that they can fight with conspicuous courage. Mere animal bravery, however, has been hopelessly beaten when it had to contend with courage reinforced by a thorough know ledge of the weapons which modern science has placed iu the hands of governments. The willingness of the Spanish sold ler to die in the last ditch, and of the Spanish sailor to go down with his ship, has not prevented Spain being beaten at every point. Nor has it enabled her to inflict any considerable damage upon her enemy. This can be proved by placing side by side the losses suffered by the com batants in the first three months of the war: spanis:i loss. 2 1 war shir s. 21 merchant vessels. 1 ,200 sailors killed. 1,300 sailors prisoners. Santiago and neighborhood. Fourth Army Corps (12,000 to 1 5 ,000 men.) Ladroue Islands. AMERICAN LOSS. i merchant vessel. Under 50 sailors killed and Wounded, 300 soldiers killed. 1,500 soldiers wounded. Such comparisons as these must speedily convince even the most sanguine of Spanish minis ters that further righting will only result iu fresh disaster for Spain, without inflicting serious injury upon the United States.

A Noble Work Uadertaken by Chattanooga Pythians There is in friendship more than a name, and that indefinable something is being symbolized iu Chattanooga in the work be iug done by the order, Knights of Pythias. It was in keeping with the ' eternal fitness cf things that the order should have had it origin in the capital of our country just at the close of our civil war. It ranks are composed of the best citizens of the towns and cities throughout the whole of the United States and Canada, and no other civic order has contributed so many of its ranks to our volunteer sol diery. But the Pythian soldiers have no immunity against ill ness; therefore, the Knights in Chattanooga, headed by Supreme Representative, Dr. E. B. Wise have opened a Pythian hospital for ihe accommodation of such of their brothers as may become ill while iu camp at Chicamauga Park. While the military hospitals are ably providing for the sick, an auxiliary institution on the infimary plan, as the Pythian Hospital is intended to be, is of great importance. Away from the noise incident to camp life, under the ministrations of train ed nurses, sisters, whose Di ight smile and gentle touch are the sunshine and elixir of life, in the midst of brothers on whose friendship they can implicit) redly, "even until death," the sick soldier is the recipient of those little delicate attentions that are so largely conducive to recovery and which make the whole world kin. The site of the Pythian Hos pital was well chosen no better to be found in the city. and the medical staff is composed of pro minent physicians, all of them Knights. The management has petitioned the lodges in the State for financial aid, and would be pleased to receive assistance from members of the order throughout the Supreme Do1 main, as the amount of good tc complished will depend largely upon the voluntary offerings made by brother Knights with which to carry on the work. The improvements of a per, manent character that are being made at Camp Thomas would seem to indicate that, at least, a large portion of the volunteer soldiery now here are likely to be quartered at Chickamauga many months, and so long as the soldiers remain, the Pythian, Hospital will be a necessity. The first patient admitted to the hospital was from far away Maine; others have been, and are being cared f. rfrom Dakota, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Masschu setts and Montana. Chatta nooga Times, 1 ith.

Tne latter will be tried by court-martial for surrendering without mik ing a greater resiscance. Trouble at Manila Hong Kong, August 17. It is rumored that the United States troops at Manila have had trouble with the rebel forces under Aguinaldo. According to one account the insurgents.upon whom various restrictions had been placed by General Mers ritt, mutiued at not being per mitted to have a share in the surrender of the city. It is re ported that they attacked :he Americans in their trehches. CaptainsGeueral Blanco, ot Cuba, has resigned, because he does not want to have charge of carrying out the terms of the peace protocol. The condition of the Spanish troops who are left at Santiago is described as terrible. Desease is so rampant that they are dy ing by dozens. Although the war with Spain lasted only 114 days, it is esti mated that it has cost the gov, eminent so far $150,000,000,0! which $ 98,000,000 has been ac tually paid out from the treas ury. The total charged to the War Department L 65,000,000; total charged to Navy Depart ment $32,700,090. The appro priation made by Congress on account of the war aggregated about $360,000,000 and covers the time to January 1st, 1899.

OUR SOLDIERS MOT TRAMPS, Banker Declares Army Made of In teligent Men. "I wish 1 could meet some of the people who say the United States Army is made up of the 'riffrafl' of the country," said the banker, holding up a small bun die of drafts with which ioine of the Chicago soldiers had been paid and which they had en dorsed and sent home to people dependent upon them, says the Chicago Times-Herald "I should just like to show them how bad ly mistaken they are. Now, here I have a bundle of drafts on the New York SubTreasury 137 of them iu all. Kvery one of them was made out by the Government to py some soldier who is down at the front, aud every one of them is endorsed by the man in whose favor it is written. Take a look at those signatures. You will find that every one of them shows not only intelligence but education ou the part ol the man who wrote it. Tramps and 'riffraff don't w rite that way. Only men of intelligence can do it, audi would wager a small amount that you can't circulate a peti tion among the business men ot Chicago and get 137 signatures that average up a well as the signatures of these 137 soldiers "No, Sir," the banker contin ued emphatically, "it is not the scum of the country that is fight ing this war, any more than it was the scum of the country that lought for the Union in the civil war. Why did our men fight so well at El Cauey and Santiago and the other bat ties in Cuba ? Was it because they were a lot of roughs who were down there for the love of a fight ? Not a bit of it. It was their principles and their pride that made them brave, and pride dosn't come to the 'riffraff.' I tell you there is not one man in fifty in our armiel in Cuba who isn't down there to make a name for himself, and the people who dared to think they are a lot ot young animals who went to war because they had nothing else to do simply don't know anything about it. Not only these drafts, but tht fighting that has been done shows that our soldiers are men of intelligence.'' WHAT ELLA WHEELER THIUKS. Mrs. Wilcox Gives Her Views on The Girl Who Kissed Hobson. Ella Wheeler writes: "The young woman who k:s sed Mr. Hobon laluted heroism. She would have done the saute had the hero been a heroine. She forgot sex in sentiment. It is doubtful if Mr. Hobson was equally forgetful. Hobson, no doubt, forgot that he was a hero, and remembered he was a man. At that moment it is to be ques tioned if he rememdered the Maine. He will surely remem ber the girl. "To some women, a kiss is the highest expression of regard. It is the royal seal of queen woman's approval, whether it falls on a kitten or conqueror. While the woman who asktd the privelege of kissing Mr. Hobson is 10 be congratulated for her achievement, the wo man whom Mr. Hobson will ask the prirelege of kissing will be an object of greater Interest. That will be quite another story aud quite another kiss." A Little Boy'H Trouble.
