SHERMAN AS A TAIL TWISTBR. England Believes the United States II Trying to Force a War. , ‘ London, July 19.,——The Sunday papers '_., . review the letter of Secretary of State _- , " John Sherman and comment at length upon the Bering sea controversy. The references of The Observer fol-low: _ “As couched. such terms could not be ' played by any other civilized nation t determined upon war. If anything is meant by the letter it means a men- ace to Great Britain, and the cembined hostility of the United States and Rus- sia. Unfortunately, the party in power in the United States is under tempta- tions to distract attention from the failure to dispel depression." The weekly papersiake virtually the same View as the dailies with reference to Secretary Sherman’s dispatch on the sealing question. The Spectator says: "He scolds the British government as if ministers were a set of mean. under- hand, thieving scoundrels. It is abso- lutely essential should refuse to consider the question in any shape until he has received an. apology for such wanton imputations.”._ The Speaker says: “Mr. Sherman is an old man. Wehope br his sake that the dispatch was drafted by some in- subordinate who was for the time be- ing oppressed by the heat. Its language is quite strong enough to justify the suspension of all diplomatic relations if that were worth while." ' The Morning Post's editorialyester- day suggesting that the time would come when a certain class of Americans would force a war. represents the true conviction of a majority of the Eng- lish people, who firmly believe that the United States is seeking a war With Gréat Britain. An interesting corre- spondence confirming this view of the matter appears in The Morning Post. One correspondentsays: “History re- peats itself. We should at once. d that, as in 1812, our cruisers, tfih Vmore numerous, iwould relatively ferior for offensive and defensive oper- ations against those opposed to them. Moreover, as regards familiarity in the uSe of high explosive _shells, both at sea and_on shore“ we are not in it with the Americans. It seems to me that we are , rapidly approaching the crisis in our history which will decide once for all our existence as an empire." JAPAN AND SPAIN. —_‘_ t} The Report of Their Alliance Against ‘ the United States Said to Have I" Been Confirmed. .\ At a.- ‘ayo . ,. .,*I..r-Ia:rs" London, July 19.-—-A dispatch from Paris to a. news association says that a .continued investigation into the re- ports of the Spanish-Japanese alliance against the United States government indicates that. despite the repeated de- nials, there is reason to believe that early developments may prove that there is some truth in the information. The rumor of the Spanish-Japanese alliance against the government of the United States came from Madrid. The report has been confirmed by cer- tain members of ainterested embassies, who are likely to be acquainted with the Subject. TIII: BIG STRIKE. West Virginia Miners In Line \Vith Penn- sylvania and Ohio. I Wheeling, July 19.—A few days ago the representatives of the national as- sembly of the United Mine Workers of America came intosouthwestern West Virginia. At that time the mines were in operation, and larger amounts of coal were being turned out daily than ever before in the history of this region. Today the situation is entirely chang- ed. Working with unceasing energy, the representatives of the miners have turned the scale little by little, and now the miners in the Elkhorn, Logan, Thacker and Shamokin fields, along the Norfolk and \Vestern, have laid dOWn their picks and swore fealty to the cause of their Pennsylvania and Ohio breth- ren. They are 5,000 strong, and. in addition to quitting work themselves the edict has gone forth from them that the mines in the Flat Top and Pocahontas fields must also close. The agents of the strikers will leave for the last named fields at once, and there a new campaign will be opened in the expectation that it will be no ESS successful than here. It is believed that by tomorrow night not a miner in this region. outside of the Winnifrede mines, will be at work, and that in I. short time the whole state will be tied up. Dun-ant and the Stars. San Francisco, July 19.——The parents of Theodore Durrant, the condemned murderer, have been consulting astrr‘- ogers to ascertain what the stars say about his fate.

Millard, of 51 West ave- nue South N orwalk engaged in the fur manufacturing business in West Nor- walk says “I have had kidney trouble for years, and have taken so much medicine and been under the care of physicians so often that. I ought to be an authOrity on the question. I seemed to be rid of my trouble for a time, but It showed signs of returning and I wanted to check it. I noticed SOme published statements about Doane’s Kidney Pills and procured a box at Hale’s Pharmacy in Norwalk. They helped me, and a continuance of the treatment I believe will eventually ef- fect a radical cure.” Doanc’s Kidney Pills help at first, heal, strengthen, then cure. That is their record everywhere and there are many such cases. You can read about them every day. T‘HE GOAT‘WAS A POLITICIAN. Hat Falling into Machine Ways Got; film into Trouble. John Combs, treasurer of James- sown, Ottawa county, welded some time ago that the safest way to keep thetownship cash was to place it in an iron pot and put it under his house. He thus stowed away $400 in bills and $100 in silver. - The house was a frame structure, with no walls surrounding the wooden supports, and the family goat crawled under and ate the township’s entire stock of gneenbacks. One of the chil- dren who saw him nibbling at a silver dollar in the back yard gave the alarm. Acting under the advice of his bonds- ;uen, Combs reluctantly killed the goat and dissected it. The entire $400 was found, but badly mutilated. The bills were sent to Washington for redemption, and the department succeeded in identifying, about $130. The bondsmen had to put up for the" rest—Cor. Bufialo Inquirer. p In 'the Good Old Days, In the year 17 .2 visiting was often managed by sending round an empty ahair attended by footmen—that is to say, the chairmen carried the chair, ind behind it walked two footmen, who carried the cards. and, with grave faces, asked at each door whether Lady A. was at home. She never was at home. Again—but only if one was a very great lady—it was common to Invite one’s ' friends to a rout, and. when the street was blocked with the coaches and the rooms with the com- oany assembled, the hostess would call her own coach and go .off to somebody else’s rout. There were ladies, too, but not great ladies, who gave fre~ quent card-parties, and found their hospitality profitable on account of the “card—money.” At that time every player was supposed to slip something under a candlestick. When the com- pany departed the servants collected the money for themselves. In the case of one prudent housewife, she lifted the candlesticks herself and kept the 30m. ' Matches Made of Paper. Matches made of paper is one of the atest inventions. The time-honored plan of rolling paper into a spill and using it for lighting purposes, has been utilized by an inventor in the manu- facture of matches, and promises to reVOlutionize the European trade. The paper is immersed in wax, stearine, ind similar substances, and burns with l. bright, smokeless and odorless flame. Cut into match lengths, it is dipped In a phosphorous composition like the :ommon wax match. The invention is :egarded as a timely one, as the wood used in the making of matches is con- stantly growing more scarce and 2ost1y. , Davis’ Afi‘ectation. . “Richard Harding Davis," says a writer, “does not care ‘if people know that he ‘keeps a man.’ In fact, he rather courts the publicity. In regis- tering recently at a Bryn Mawr, Pa‘., Inn, he inscribed himself. ‘RiChard Davis and valet.’ A Philadelphia gen. tleman immediately followed Davis in registering, and, with a quick glance at the scrawl above, wrote, ‘Bradle'y Warburton and valise.’ ” A Test of Prominence. “Hiram,” said Mrs. Corntossel, “I’m afraid our Congressman ain’t making- the impression at washington that we expected.” ‘ “Why, he made some fine speeches.” “I know that. But I don’t see the newspapers goin’ inter no conniptions about the kind 0’ clothes he wears."——, Washington Star. . YUN q Fever Cure MUN k. allays Fevers promptly.
