in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is supposed
to have been brought to Philadelphia
by Italian thieves. Large rewards have
been offered for its recovery, and de-

HE DENOUNCES CERTAIN DISCIPLINE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE secretary
of the navy has issued general order
as follows: The frequency with which
punishment by solitary confinement on
bread and water or on diminished ra-
tons is imposed by the sentences of
summary courts martial meets with
the disapprobation Of the department.
This punishment is a severe one, and
it was not probably contemplated by
the law that it should be generally re-
sorted to for the correction of offenders.
1t is beloved that other authorized pun
ishments will, in most cases, prove
more efectual than this. In cases
where punishment by confinement on
bread and water or diminished rations
is imposed by sentences of courts-mar-
tial that portion of such sentences will
be disapproved by the department.

NO DRINKING IN THE HOUSE RESTAURANT.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 2
Speaker Keifer Issued an order
yesterday prohibiting the sale of liquor
in the house restaurant. where, it is
alleged, Intoxicating beverages have
been sold under various DISCUSSES. The
speaker stated that if this order was
disobeyed hereafter a resolution would
be offered in the house for the appoint
ment of another restdurdteapr for the
house. This action, it is believed, is
the result of movement by the Wom-
ems Temperance Union of the District

Aerid Imnnrities in the Blood

Produce rheumatism, govt and other distressing
maladies. 1t is one of the benefcent effects of
using Hostetters Stomach Bitters that these inn
purities are absorbed from the vital current, and
carried off by the kidneys which rendered
standard depurent. This also results in benefit
to the kidneys and bladder, since the activity
which the Bitters produce is reflected in increased
health and vigor in these organs. A sluggish ten
dency in those is thus overcome, and renal
diseases of destructive and obstinate nature pre-
vented. Fever and ague, dyspepsia, constipation
and liver complaint are among the forms Of indis-
position which this fine medicine eradicates. 1t
regulates the habits of the body, improves the
health, and remedies the feeling Of dependency
resulting from dyspepsia

New YORK, Feb. There is deal

the clubs about ex-Secretary Blaine's
Gargold memorial Grafton, to be de-
livered in the house on the 9th inst.
Mr.. Blaine and his personal friends are
said to be giving out some of the
points in advance, and if these in
timations are not misleading, the dis
tinguished statesman from Maine
would seem to be essaying the histori-
cal role of Marc Anthony. The same
ideas, curiously enough, would seem %
be current at Washington, inasmuch as
a Post correspondent telegraphs from
there that "a warm friend of Mr.. Blaine
said this morning that it was going to
be very curious performance" add
ing, "there will be great deal more of
Blaine in that meeting than of Gar

CASE OF THE PRIvATE.ARmED BRIG GEN


CASE OF THE PRIVATE. ARMED BRIG GEN.
ERAL ARMSTRONG.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE commit
tee on foreign affairs of the house have
reported in favor of the bill for the re-
lief of the owners, officers, and crew
of the private-armed brig General
Armstrong. This celebrated case was
prosecuted by the government of the
United States against Portugal for a
number of years, and it was finally
submitted to the arbitration of
Louis Napoleon as president of
the French republic BY some
oversight the claimants evidence was
wholly excluded, and they we're not
represented, while Portugal and Eng
land, the parties interested as code
PENDANTS, had i all their own way, and
Louis Napoleon beccming emperor
found it polite to decide in favor of
the crown heads.
THE FAMOUS DEFENSE OF THE BRIG
General Armstrong has been Justly
called the "Thermopyla of the ocean. !"
She was a small clipper armed with
only seven guns and ninety men, and
was attacked in the neutral port of
Fayal, one of the Azores Islands, in
September, 1914, by the boats Of a
large British squadron, with a total
force of 1876 guns and over two thou
sand men. The British lost over three
hundred of their braveSt and best,
while the Americans lost but two men
killed and seven wounded. The squad
ron composed part of the fleet con-
centrating at Jamaica for the conquest
of Louisiana, and the battle with the
Armstrong caused delay Of some ten
or fifteen days, which enabled General
Jackson to reach New Orleans just
four days before the fleet and troop
ships and thus win the victory.
THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
sets forth at length all the facts of this
interesting case, which reads more like
romance than a reality. 1t is a
document of marked ability, and was
drawn up by the Hon. William w.
Rice, Of Massachusetts, one of our
ablest jurists and statesmen AS this
case has now been pending before the
government and congress for the last
sixty-seven years, and has cost the gov
eminent alone in printing the decu-
ments, etc., over five times the amount

FARMERS, CONVENTION.
Meeting or the Agricultural and Ho

ticuIturaI Societies at the state
Capital
The farmers and gardeners of Wfscon-
sin met in the agricultural rooms of the
capitol on the 9th inst, in annual con-
vention. The agricultural society
which was board meeIing-was pre-
sided over by Hon. n. d. Fratt, of RAJ
cine, who made appropriate remarks,
as did also Geo. f. Bryant, secretary.
President J. NJ Smith called the horti-
cultural society to order, and members
proceeded TO discuss the question of
summer meetings, all agreeing that they
had proved both interesting and profit
able.
A resolution was adopted providing
for holding one summer meeting, with
some local society, and the usual APP
preparation for premiums with such so
ciety, and as many conventions at more
leisure seasons of the Year as may be
deemed expedient by the executive
committee, and this is left largely discre-
tionary with the president, who shall
secure the attendance of members of
the state society at these local conven-
tions.
The society appointed the district
committees for the several fruit dis
tricts of the state.
The committee on programme re-
ported the regular order of exercise for
each day of the convention, ending
Friday.
