SPANISH DEAl'EA
The battle of .Manilla Bay, fought
on Sunday between the Spaniards and
Americans, at the Philippine Islands,
was an event that will Le. into history
in a shape creditable to both coin-.
batants. Thesplucky tight made by
the Spanish navy against such heavy
odds, and their conduct in -; sinking
their vessels rather than bartender. . to
Abe 'enemy, makes it e'question in the
. naiads. :ofsome people, whether on•
even terms the American would have.,
scored_ a decisive Victaiey.. in .rio short a
time. 'There may just possibly be
.probability thet as soon is the .de-
cisive victory at Manilla is fully appte-
bended by the powers an effort will be
made to put an end to the war, before
there is an opportunity for another
collision between the navies. There
.is little dout,t that such a movement
would he weidaused by Spain, and • the
United States could hardly refuse to
grant an armistice during negotiations,
which if once entered into would sure
iy result in a settlement of the war
involving th* indeperidefice of Cuba.
If. happily Such shOuld be the end of
the struggle there •would be rejoicing
thraughtout the _eivilized world, while
the people of the United States would
have grourids fur congratulating theru-
selvea in having wiped out the Yellin
bict with such celerity and so small a.
less of life.

•'rite cession to the British syndicate

ince of Shansi, China, is tantamount

listery shows that British commerce
usually the:precursor of British pog-_'

• The • Washington authorities esti.
'nate the war expenses of the l'nited`
States for the last two nisnths at $25,
000,000 • month and think probably
the present rate of outlay is abort
1700,000,00 a year. That is •a* big
sum, but the figures dohot tell:, the
whole story. The United States are
now only laying the foundationa of a'
debt, for whichtheir citizens will
go on plying. Wei for a generat-
ion. Even after peace is estselished-
the canker of militarism will go on
devouring the substance of the people;
the war servants of the people will
act the inastera,
The Foreign Enlistment Act fortun-
ately stands in the way of foolish
young men in Canada , enlisting in
foreign armies, and hot headed youths
who want ta go to cut the shroats of
Dons or Yankees, must leaves Canada
to enlist. It is said that seine have
applied at Consulates for information
as how to enlist. Doubtless the coun-
try would be well rid of some of those
fel:rms. but it ii to be feared that some
really useful young men are carried
away by the glamor of war. It is to
be regretted that this should be the
case Perhaps they hear too muni of
war's glory and take too little thought
of its horrors: There are boys who
are too tender-hearted to cut a sheep's
throe., or beat the brains out of a pet
cat, who in these jingo days prattle
about going to war," and talk glibly
ab Jut murdering their fellow men.
-Just inside one of the leading
drug stores of our city there is a black-
board which is used very effectively
for advertising pusposes, the "ads"
thereon heing got up in a very catchy
matter. For instance the other day
the following on it to catch the eye of
the young lady customers: "Have
you a sweetheart 1 If so buy him a
bottle of our pure Florida water." A
young man who dropped in to get a
glass of soda water saw it. Next day
he was passing by with his girl and as
they were going in to get some soda
water he told her to read the sign.
Hi spoke 5efore he looked for to his
dismay the inscription on the black-
board was: "Ifave you a baby? If
.so use sterilized milk."

opposite the post office, • the animal
suddenly turned toone side, and the .
waggon made a complete summer seult

All lovers of good horse flesh will

one of his fore legs was broken at the

Death of Mrs. Kent.

Death always bring with it sadness
and gloom, and this sad event is no
exception to the rule.' As deceased
had not been laid aside hone the active
duties of life by long illness, news of
her death came startling eudder and
unexpected. She is highly spoken
of as a good neighbor, a kind parent;
and many indeed gre those who can
testify to her kindness of heart, Held
in high esteem, her sudden demise
brought satThess to a very large circle
of friends, gained by long residence
and the kindness of her disposition.
The funeral took place on Tuesday,
the largo gathering in attendance and
numerous floral tributes, evidencing
the esteetn in which deceased was held
anti the symrsolw f ,lt, for the bereaved
relatives. ller .40 wits fi'ty years.
The deceased doubtless had her share
of life's discouragernents. To her, life
must have lost its charm, when she
could bid a last farewell to her hived
ones and then take the fatal dtaught
that so quickly caused the spark of
life to go out. In. every com-
munity, there are those who de-
light in rumors and 'sensationalism,
but the Advance prefers not to deal
. in these. Rather would we tender
1 our sincerest sympathy with hearts
that are troubled by the sad event.-

A terrible accident occurred to Jas.
Richards on _Friday last at Kinlaugh,
attended with fatal results. Mr. Rich-
ards'in conaparaY with his father had
a saw mill.Whiathey have operated
for a number of years. On Friday
last while manufacturing shingles the
son attempted to adjust a belt on a
pulley. A projecting bolt which fas
tened the pulley to the shaft caught
the sleeve of his smock and in 8€-
'cond of time he became entangled and
he was hurled round with ftightful
rapidity, the shaft making between
two or three hundred revolutions a
minute. The frame which surrounds
the shaft is about three feet away and
every revolution of tho shaft the vic-
tims feet and limbs; would strike against
this frame with the awful result that
hid legs and the lower portion of his
body were pounded into jelly. Gra-
hain, the fireman, was fast to eee the
accident but after shutting down
steam. was unable to relieve the un-
fortunate you man. Mr. Richards. sr.
was called, and the son was quickly
relieve.' He was conscious during
the whole of the time, his position be-
ing such that he was not injured in the
head. That portion of the mill where
the accident occurred was splashed
%;ith blood and the sight was most
heart-rending. The poor fellow was
taken to his home and medical aid
summoned, where everything Was
done to relieve his sufferings. He
lingered until early Saturday morning
when death relieved him from his
agony. The deceased was a young
unmarried man, ahout thirty four
years of age, was very popular with
all of his acquaintances and a member
of the K.O.T.M. The fureral took
place on Monday to the Kineardine
cemetery when it large cortege of sor
rowiug friends accompanied the holy
to its limit resting place. The heart
of the whole community beats in sym-
pathy for the bereaved family,

To the blitor,1 The Sentinel
Over twenty-eight hnndred Ontario
fermiers have received material and
instructions for conducting tests upon
their own farms duriag the present
season. l'hese include young men who
have attended the Agricultural College,
successful and painstaking farmers
who have experimented previously,
and others who are undertaking the
work for the first time.
About two thousand experimenters
have conducted satisfactory experi-
mental work within the past ten years.
Of this number, two hundred have
furnished good reports for at lead
three different years and some for five,
six, and even mile years. These little
experiment stations form object lessons
in nearly every neighborhood in the
province, the influence of whichlilan
never be correctly estimated, To give
sorneidea of this influence, I quote the
following from reports sent in by ex-
perimenters .
"I get much beuefit from ley experi-
ments and my plots are visited by
!nest of my neighbors every year."
"A.. a result of my experiments I
raise more bushels to the acre and
Make more money on my farm."
- "Looking at it from a financial
point of view, my neighbors have
received benefit from my experimental
work to the amount of • good many
hundred dollars."
This system of co-operistive experi-
mental work in agriculture, which
centers lit the Agricultural College
and operates through the medium of
the Experimental Union, is being en-
larged and improved from year to
year. A study of the fertiliey of the
soil on different farms, and of the
relative merits of promising varieties of
ag ri c a I tura! crops for different sections,
are the main subjeets under experi-
ment on about twelve thousand plota
this year. There are in all nineteen
distinct experimenia, which embrace
the agricultural crops grown on about
nine tentenths of the cultivated land
of Ontario. The demand has been
greatest for experimenta with oata,
spring wheat, peas, corn and mangels.
We could still furnish i number of
applicants with a package of each of
Eris leading varieties of eorn, which
forms a valuable test for farmers who
are anxious to ascertain which
varieties of corn are beet adapted to
the soil of their own particular farms
