The dismissal of Consul General Lee
iron: Havana by the Spanish govern-
ment might not mean war. This dis-
pineal has not yet been made and per-

doubted right to say she does not wish
him to remain at Havana, says the

Hartford Post. She has already made
known her feelings 'to that effect.
President McKinley’s prompt refusal

this demand would be unfortunate in

ed to stamp the consul general with in-

a.ce were not to be avoided there is
not yet sufficient information as to the

prompt words of the consul general in
response to a questioner to-day.

The demand of Spain that food sup-
plies be sent to reconcentrados in ves-
sels other than those devoted to pur-
pgses of war may not be good in inter-
national law but it was to beiexpected
under the circumstances. Two war-

dition of affairs between this country
and Spain it might possibly be an en-
:ering wedge for something important

is not looked for. We say Spain has
perhaps no legal right to 'object and
that her objection adds to the certainty
that she thinks she must do something
to appease the people of the kingdom,
butthe demand is, under the circum-
stances, reasonable.

The real intent of this objection is
we think to be found in the desire of
Spain to let the reconcentrados alone.

purpose and the country is not very
safe for Spanish trains. The insur-
gents have enough food but added sup-
plies would not be undesirable and
some of them while being thus dis-
tributed might fall into their hands.

It was to assist in getting these sup-
plies to the starving people‘ at the
more easterly ports of the island that
we sought and obtained permission to
take cargoes directly to such ports. At
thislate date just as the suffering peo-
. pie Were to be reached effectively Spain

Cream white note paper is once
again in vogue, in fact it is in too good
taste always to be ever actually aban-
doned.

In noting the way a child is gowned
you can form an estimate of the sort of
meals-and the style of house furnishing
in the home presided over by its moth-
er.

A man is never so exasperating as
when he asks a woman for a detailed
account of her day’s doings and then
reads the paper while she is trying to
give it to him. ‘

The so-called theatre hat of ’98 is
simply bristling with upright bows
every bit as exasperating as any nod-
ding plumes that ever drove a man to
drink between the acts.

Can disappointment be termed such
when you have so much of it you get
to expect it? '

One of the most trving combinations
of life is to possess feet a size larger
than the shoes you wear.

Why is it that when the expected
happens we have a sense of regret that
it was not the unexpected ?

No one is apt to get much sympathy
when complaining at this season of the
year

If there were a plan submitted to
bald— headed men for the arrangement
of the hairs grow1ng on their pates
there would be fewer going about look-

been clipped by novices.

How perfectly idiotic you feel when
you encounter a woman who is undecid-
ed which side of you to take, and in
consequence you two stand bobbing be-
fore each other making false starts to
the amusement of onlookers and your
own embarrassment.

That flowers, like laces, should be
worn only when in their pristine fresh-
ness is a fact entirely overlooked by
the belle who parades the street in the
morning with the remnant of last
night’s corsage bouquet conspicuous by
its shabbily withered droop.

The old-time idea regarding a wom-
an’s literary ability and love of finery
being at odds has long since been ex-
ploded, and the writer of a successful
book is quite as apt to glory in silk
hosiery and the frou frou of gay petti-
coats as her sister who never even at-
tempted a composition on “The Horse. ”

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

WHAT To DO.

There IS comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish' in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon Iealized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures 0f the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by d1 ugg1sts, price fifty
cents and one dollar You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
f1 ee by mail upon receipt of three two-
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,
