A notable feature of Admiral Dewey's arrival in, Washington will be the presentation to him by the President of tfie superb jeweled sword, made by :he authority of Congress,' as a- testimonial from the government. I The sword was completed' some! time since, but owing to to its delicacy and great value, it was deemed best not to send it to the Admiral. A young woman in Kansas, en gaged to a soldier ' in: the" Philip pines, killed herself the; other day when she learned of bisTdeath' in battle ; and now a Nebraska girl has visited a violent death upon herself1 with a shotgun begun be cause of the loss of her soldier sweetheart before : Caloocan. -So the casualties of the war go mount ing up. 'i A negro named Htnwphrey Tay lorLjwho committed a double mur der, Was surrounded in an put house near Washington a few days ago. He got in the loft and killed one policeman and wounded"btlv ers. Finding that they could not get him out otherwise they made preparations for firing the house, when the. negro gave tip. The of ficers had "much 'difficulty, in pre venting his being lynched. Municipal Ownership Uader Hszekiahv Monroe Enquirer. ' .

Already the clerical staff has- been organized fpr the work, in skeleton shape, and everything ,ii even now in trim for beginning the "fount. It is believed that the .population will not- be found to exceed 7s .oio, 000. Those .4 .-. - - - . who guess 00,000,000 and up ward fail to take into consideration the large decrease in the birth rate, which has run down in a surprising way during the last ten years, aw- iflag, apparently, to a growing prej udice in favofof setting an artifi cial limit u pod the size of the fami ly. This idea, says the Commis sioner of Labor, "has more effect upon the growth of population than war, pestilence, and all other causes combined' Nevertheless, as will be; shown . .. ' r by the new census, a baby is born in the UnitedStates every twelve seconds, arid t this rate 3,475,000 fresh citizens will be added to the population of the country in 1900. At the same time, of course, people will continue to die, and, to keep up with their departure, the, pass ing bell must ".toll every twenty- thrje : seconds, 'ushering 1 ,350,000 Americans out of the world during the twelvemonth. Eyery twenty four seconds, however, a marriage will occur, giving expectation of filled cradles, and it is a comfort to know that five of these latter will be supplied'with occupants every minute in7the twenty-four hours throughout the last year of the nine teenth century. . Wheo a Girl ShoBld Xearn to Unlove. XT - Thee is a time, I believe, in love's first approach when it is not too hard to bar the door if there is reason why it should not stand ajar. A girl may not have to learn to love, but she car) learn to unlove if she must. She herself must be the judge, vif the man brings her weakness instead of strength low ideals and not high ones ; if he is indolent or iutemporate or up. clean; if she feels that she will be mated down, and not on the sweet and wholesome- Jevel " on which she lives, then if she is tru ly wise she draws the "bar of the doOf gently but resolutely and holds t fast, i; And when her heart ucltess1 ft .fesbmes time's half ouVijof f sheer-ry-fprl; f him and half because she soi misses he weet accustomedness bf his presence, the little attentions, the flowers, the tender look that stir red her so strangely when her- heart aches because of what is gone out of her;Jife, let her hold" fast to her brave resolution ; let her strong self whisper to her weak, pleading self, "I will -be nobly mated, or oot at all." nden Waterson Moody in Ladies' Home Journal. , Ycde Hunptoa Declines. ;' Columbia S.C., May 18.

There were a" few steam doc tors who received some practice. Their remedies were mostly pep per teas and different "herbs of the garden and woods. In ' those days there was a good deal ot talkabout the mineral and steam doctors. There was an -old-time wooden clock at a neighbor's house and few young ladies at Christmas time, for amusement, heated aToec and placed it in the old clock that had been still for a year or two, to test the steam remedy. After be ing warmed Hip the clock was stait ed and to the surprise of every one it continued to run and keep good time for. a year or two, Morrison tliil derived, its - name from its feriner owner, John Mor nson. lie had a large orchard and ' V v 1 . 4 V manufactured fruits into brandy and kept a sros shop. Morrison insulted John Slater; Slater walk ed to Morrison's counter, put it on his shoulder and carried it into the yard. It was a rowdy place and some peisons were afraid' to pass there at nierht. Morrison was a peculiar, .energetic man and accu mulated "wealth, but by some means the greater portion of it wasted away before he died. Dr. Owen Hadley, ' about 1844 joined Dr. McLeod to study medi cine and later on attended the Medical college, and vvhen Dr. McLeod died- he took his field of pr ictice and lived at the McLeod hpmestead, where "Alfred Hadley yes.
