Vessels That Never Lett the Ways.
The Java and Colossus.

The Java and Colossus.
IBrooklyn Eaglnl
For a few days there will be some life and
activity in the Brooklyn navy ward, for a
large number OF workmen have already been
engaged to destroy two immense hulks
known as the Colossus and the Java. For
the past twenty years these two uncom
pleted vessels have never been moved from
the ways on which they were originally
built, and the very timbers on which they
lie are almost rotten from long exposure
The Java and Colossus have always at
tracted a great deal of attention from visit
ors, and from their battered appearance
many people supposed that the two ships
must have been through some frightful naval
cOmhats.
The Colossus was to be double turreted
monitor carrying four fifteen inch guns. She
was designed by Benjamin DeIano, one Of
the mos skillful naval constructors of his
day. Two millions and half were to be ex-
pended on her, but when the war was more
advanced orders were received from Wash
ington to sto work on the Colossus. This
was done, and many men in consequence
thrown ont of employment The ships
engines had just been put in her, and she was
all ready for launching when the men ceased
work, and nothing has been done to her from
that day to this.

Letting the ''Star" Shine.
New Orleans Times Democrat ]

Actors who star, as general thing, are in
the habit of seeing that the members of their
companies do not attract too much attention
first, because it detracts from the import
ance of the principal parsonage in the COM

who make strong hits usually fall at once
into the condition know. as feeling their
oats" 1t is related of a certain actor that
for long time after starting oct with his
new and popular piece, ne carried a pro-

WHY HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN
DR.. J. n. scHENcK AND HIS MEDICINES.

DR.. J. n. scHENck AND HIS MEDICINES.
During the past two years my mother and
brother have died of Consumption. was myself
quite unwell most of this time, and when, shortly
after their death, was attacked with cough and
severe hemorrhages 1 naturally concluded that
/ was destined to go with the same disease. i'm
mediately consulted a physician, who made spe-
calty of lung diseases. After examining me- he said
that he thought my lungs were sound, and that
would soon recover In less than aweek after this
had another severe hemOrrhage. Thinking that
my physician had made a mistake in my case, I
consulted another doctor. He thought my lungs
affected, and prescribed for me for a long time. I
got no better under his treatment, but generally
worse. Ny cough was very bad, my appetite en-
tirely gone; had severe pain in my right side.
and for months l did not sleep more than two or
three hours in night My tongue was heavily
coated and had q bad taste in my mouth. lad
the headache almost all the time
Feeling that something must be done, at last
concluded to consult with DR.. Schenck, the physi-
clan who, l think have good reason to believe,
to be the best in the treatment of lung disease.
went to his Office in Boston. and was examined
He found my left lung quite badly diseased. and
my liver seriously affected. He told me that
could be cured if would follow his directions
Of course consented to do so, and very soon
saw that my confidence in his ability was well
placed l took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic
and PuImonic Syrup, all at one time, as directed BY
him, and within one month my worst symptoms
were gone. went to see the doctor on his next
visit TO Boston, which was one month after the
first time saw him. and he said "Only continue
with the medicine and you will surely get we'll"
did so, and kept on gaining in every way until
/ was perfectly well, and able to work as usual.
Since my recovery have not lost a days time,
except when have made friendly visits TO the
doctor at his Boston Office. Ny cough is gone. my
appetite is good, have no headache or pain in
nv side: sleep better than ever did in my life,
and my lungs are apparently healed, as have no
hemorrhages.
These are the reasons why believe in and re
commend DR. ]. H. Schenck and his medicines.
He did Just what he said he would do for me, and
believe that owe my life to his medicines and
