The old story of the railroad conductor who, on coming home and finding that his family had been increased by tbre< juvenile members, inquired if auy had PS caped, is familiar to all; but doubtless few have have thought of its applicabil­ ity to the Inter Oceans "Annual Year Book and Encyclopedia for 1898." If anything in the line of useful information or facts that everybody needs for daily reference has been allowed to oscape, it has not been discovered. This the most complete, best arranged, and valuable encyclopedia of things that everybody should know and cannot always remem­ ber that has yet made its appearance. It is right up to date in its records of pass­ ing events, and embraces everything that is worth knowing. (6T" Gen. Blanco's order permitting the reconcentrados to return to their home, is the climax to the farce in Cuba. How can they return ? They can scarcely sit up Wbat could they do if they did re­ turn ? Their homes are gone, their acres desolate. The monstrous cruelty of that Weyler campaign is not appreciated. Ii is the blackest crime in all history. That and the blowing up of the Maine are re­ corded against that butcher for future settlement. The existence of such brutes as Weyler almost upEets the belief that there is no hell. Where else could he re­ ceive his just deserts?--Every Saturday All work fiil-st class, ijeat and reason­ able in price. A. Wegener tbe West Mc Henry harness maker and dealer in all goods in that line. From the Springfield Journal, PROMPTLY AND PBOPBBliY. The timely and speedy action of Gover­ nor Tanner in providing instantaneous relief for the flood stricken residents of Shawneetown affords another instance of his remarkable ability to act prompt­ ly and properly in every emergency. Immediately upon receipt of the news of the appalling calamity, at Shawneetown he personally assumed the responsibility of placing $3,000 at the disposal of the authorities of the stricken city, and fol­ lowed it in an hour with a relief train car rying tents for shelter and provisions for the people who had so suddenly been deprived of their homes and all their possessions. With the same promptness Governor Tanner acted on the request of the navy departmentat Washing for placing the naval foi ce of Illinois on a war footing, and in such a proper manner that if tbe naval militia of the Btate is called out they will not only be ready to go when the call is made, but the ranks will com­ prise only those whose condition and circumstances render them best fitted to enter the government service. To this end the governor directed that all minors who may have enliBted without the con­ sent of their parents, and all members of the force who have wives, children or parents depending on them for support, should be discharged and their places filled by enlistments. This action gives to the force not only the very desirable quality of efficiency but eliminates from it all chance of unwilling service. This ability to do the proper thing with utmost promptness and dispatch, gives the people of the state the utmost confidence in Governor Tanner that in whatever emergency may arise, should war ensue, he can be relied on to act with credit to the state and to properly care for all the men that Illinois may be called upon to furnish for the National defense. f,.^ HOPKINS ON WAR. William E. Curtis, the well informed Washington correspondent of the Chica­ go Record has the following to say of Congressman Hopkins: Representative Hopkins, who is chair­ man of what they call the reconcentra­ dos in the house of representatives-- the republican members who have with­ drawn from the rest of the house and propose to force the issue--is more hope­ ful than Senator Cullora. He thinks there is still a way open for peace, and favors some such action as the president desires. "The house will wait until the presi­ dent is ready to report," said Mr. Hop­ kins this afternoon, "and he has given us to understand that he will report on Tuesday or Wednesday. If he should wait another day or two days' we will wait upon bis convenience. There is no disposition on the part of any member to anticipate him in taking action. There is a unamions feeling, that he ought to load and that we ought to fol­ low. He is going in the right way, there is no doubt of that. I have seen him several times during the last few days. I was one of the committee that waited upon him last week and laid be­ fore him the desire of the republicans for mediate action, and 1 have the very best reason to believe that he knowns wbat he is doing and that the country will approve his course when the facts are disclosed." . v-: TROUBLES OF PAINTINGh How Persons Who Use Paint Can Get the Best Results. An article that property-owners have always sought for, often without suc­ cess, is the paint that will cover the most surface, look best and wear long­ est. Frequently, after an expensive job of painting is finished, the owner finds the paint chalking and rubbing off, or cracking and peeling off, showing that in mixing it too much white lead was used in one case and too much zinc in the other. A paint in which either ingredient is mixed out of proportion is expensive because it will not last long. Since tbe art of making ready-mixed paints has been carried to perfection these mistakes have been avoided and a ready-mixed paint bearing a reliable brand, like The Sherwin-Williams Paints, can be used with absolute cer­ tainty that the ingredients are pure and in exactly the right proportions. This is tbe most important part of painting. If the label on the can bears the name of The Sherwin-Williams Company the con­ tents can be depended upon. These makers not only produced perfect honse pa ats bi t also special jkinds for house* u<jld use and for floors, for farm imple­ ments, for buggies, for barns and fences, each kind being perfectly adapted to the use for which it is specially intended. Color cards showing tints and combi­ nations together with the name of the nearest dealer selling the paints, will be sent to any one who has need of paint, on application by postal card to The Sherwin-Williams Company, 100 Canal Street, Cleveland; 2629 Stewart Ave., Chicago; for 397 Washington Street, New York. Experience las shown thousands of paint users that it is worth this slight trouble to get the best returns from an investment, either large or small, in paint.

Scientiflally speaking, this is a stereo- sr-OTie; and yet it is very unlike the ordinary instrumentoalled by that name. Tho stereo­ scope, heretofore In common use, although s pleasing instrnment and glvinga "solid view" as it8name indicate*, does not give a correct perspective, the depth of the view being much exagerated; but the new instrament. which is called the PERSPEOTOSCOPE, not only gives the "solid view," but tbe true perspec­ tive. v This is no doubt the most brilliant discovery in this line ot optics since Prof. Wheatstone's time, 70 years ago. The inventor of the Per- sbectoscope began investigations and opera tionsor. the theory of obtaining a perfect per­ spective from two reflected images of a'slngle picture. The Perspectoscope is a binocular Instrument which uses in its construction two groucd glass lenses and two mirrors of perfect rrflcctin • surface, and is constructed on scientific principals just dUoovered by its inventor, Its use is the same as the or linary stereo­ scope, but;»vitli the following differences and advantages: 1st As above noted, It gives a tmo perspeo- tive. A* you look at a picture through the Perspect'iscop* you behold a scene, in every respcet precisely like the one compassed by the camera which took the picture. 2nd- A Persp Jctoseope requires hut a sinprle picture and that of any size The numerous Kodak pictures and other photographs to be found in almoft arfy home, and whtch would be useless with a stereoscope, are already adapted to use with the Perspectoscope. 3d. In vlewinsr the pictures with the Per­ spectoscope the eves assume the natural position, as they look forward In parallel lines: there is. therefore, no pain attending the effort, as in the stereoscope, which require# the ;befcolder to cross the vision at a point which, to some eyes, is unbearable. Every body that is interested in the Kodak, will want a Perspectoscope. Anyoody possessing views taken hy a cam- era or other photographic instrument will want a Perspectoscope. We guarantee the article !to be exactly as wn describe it, and if you Iflnd it in anywise different, you can return it within 30days and the money will bo refunded. It is Ohet p We sell It to purchasers direct or through an agent, for}2.00, free of express or other charges, Full particulars in regard to the instrument or its sale will be sent free on application.
