Cincinnati, March 21. A local
paper bere prints a story tbat the
location of the keyboard by which
tbe Maine was blown up in Havana

The story that Capt. T L Hu

of cleaning out the fortifications of
Havana, had discovered in the gun
room of the Cuartel de Fuerste, a

evidenoeof a keyboard having been
torn away. Captain Huston had
confided bis discovery to Mr. War

who was visiting Havana, and said
he was about to trace tbe wires to
prove bis theory that the Maine
was exploded from tbat point. Tbe

Washington, March 21 Under
a law passed by the last congress
the printing; ot postal cards is no
longer a government monopoly,
and a number of printers are go
ing into the printing of private
postal cards, so-called. The size
fixed by law is 3 1-4 by 5 1-2
inches, and the weight six pounds
and three onnces to the thousand.
In color they must be white
cream, light gray or light buff,
while on the face must be the
words, "Private mailing card,
anthorizd by act of congress,
May 19, 1898," and in the upper
right hand corner must bo left
space with the words "rlace a
stamp here."
The practical effect of the
change is to increase the govern
ment s revenue and at the same
time enlarge the dissemination of
postal cards. The government's
revenue is increased beoause the
users of private postal cards pay
the same price for circnlating a
card printed by themselves as
they would pay for circulating a
postal card printed by the gov
ernment. Tho government makes
the difference.
The estimated number of postal
cards required by tbe govern
meet during the four years of the
prese.it contracts is 2,075.000,000
of which 20,000,000 are double
or reply postals. By the printing
of private postal cards the
number manufactured for pnblio
use will be still further extended

Springs, Ark., November, 1898, re
questing the United Confederate
Veterans to "limit tbe number of
ponsors and maids of honor to one
of eaoh from each State and Terr
tory where there is a camp of United
Confederate Veterans because the
Confederate reunions have of la'
years been an entertainment for tbe
ponsors and maids of honor instead
of the veterans."
General Gordon desires that the
original custom be adhered to, nnd
requests "tbe appointment of aspon
or by general department, division
and brigade commanders, and by
every camp, with as many mami of
honor as desired, but with the nn
standing that the reunion committee
at Charleston will only entertain

Contractors have been at work

The contract was given to Capt. A

tbat this means a good amount of

Of tbe lot there will be fifteen of
them two stories high, ten of them

will have only one story, twenty-

they will be built en Mr. Wagoner's

General Wheeler's Heeerd.
It is exasperating that a man
wbo rendered such distinguished
services to his oountry as Major
General Joseph Wbeeler should be
oalled upon to defend his conduot
in the Santiago campaign from the
a'.tacks of irresponsible vilifiers. He
ba, however, felt called upon to
put on record in the war Depart
ment evidence tbat be did not fight
the battle of Las Guasimas in dis
obedience of orders, and tbat be did
not want to retreat from before
Santiago on the nigbt of July 2nd.
All observant readers of official and
other reports on the Santiago cam
paign will recognize the truth of
Governor Roosevelt's remark
tbat "General Wheeler was the
backbone of the campaign." Gen
eral Shafter's dispatoh, showing that
bt contemplated retreat on tbe eve
of viotory, and escaped disgrace
only through the braye persistence
of his subordinates and tbe aooom
inodating disposition of Admiral
Cevera, baa been on record for many
months.
The efforts to make and unmake
men without regard to the merits
of their services were very conspic
uous during the brief war with
Spain, and the army itself seems to
bave been lnteoted by the War De
partment. Fortunately for the
truth of history, ; these efforts
bave conspicuously failed. Gen
eral Miles and General Wbeeler
bave been proof against assault,
and General Shafter came back
from Cuba with less reputation
than be carried thithar, although
he was given every opportunity to
distinguish himself. It is time for
tbe War Department to put some
authoritative end to the backbiting
and misrepresentation that have
marred the history of our brief
struggle with Spain; but no reform

remains at its head. Philadelphia

is the greater reason why he should
suffer the full penalty of a broken
law. lie is a worse man than the
ignorant and vicious criminal, who
has had none of the advantages
which made Breese a respected and
trusted man and gave him the op
portunity to steal. He knew his
duty and did it not and he should
be beaten with many stripes. Let
us hope that, in the interest of jus
tice he will, notwithstanding bis
appeal to a higher court, finally be
made to suffer for the wrongs he
has committed. Statesville Land

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood tbe severest
tests, but her vital organs were uns
dermined and death seemed immi
nent. For three months she
coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, and waa so much
relieved on taking first dote, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cared.

McCall's Queen of Fashion mag
azine has found its way on our
desk and with a spirit of senti
mentalism more common earlier in
lifd we glanced at its beautiful fig
ures and a few good love stories in
keeping with them. Some lady of
renown ia charged with saying that
there is a satisfaction about being
well dressed not even imparted by
the Christian religion. It's a won
der that the lovers ef the tidy do
not all get McCall at 50 cents per
year, but it is absolutely despoiling
to the young man struggling
against the fascinations of the fair
set.

Mr. John Barrett, a young business
man of Rock Hill, died on Monday
morning at about 2 o'olock from the
effeots of an overdose of morphine.
Ho had been on a protraoted spree,
and took the morphine Sunday
night, it is supposed, preparatory to
sobering up. Jt is not thought that
be intended to kill himself. His
people live in Union county, N- 0.,
and his remains have been taken
there for interment. Mr. Barrett
was notqaite 21 years of age. Yorkt

It Will All Come Ont Right-
Whatever is a cruel wrong,
Whatever is unjust,
The honest years that speed along
Will trample in the dust.
In restless youth I railed at fate
With all my puny might,
But now I know if I but wait
It all will come outright.
Though vice may don the judge's
gown
And play the censor's part,
And fact be cowed by falsehood's
frown,
And nature ruled by art i
Tho' labor toi's through blinding
tears,
And idle wealth is might,
I know tbe honest, earnest years
Will bring it out all right.
Tho' poer and loveless creeds may
pass
For pure religion's gold;
Though ignorance may rule the
mass,
While truth meets glances cold
I know a law complete, sublime,
Controls us with its might.
And in God's own appointed time
It all will come out right.
