A war between the United States
and Great Britain would be a great
calamity to the whole world, and
signify the destruction of more of
the worlds wealth than any war
recorded in history. The United
States would play havoc with En-
Slish commerce. and British mer-
liant vessels would not dare 60 to
tea except under convoy. Many
American cities would be lombard
cd. Canada would be invaded,
Gonquered and annexed but at ire
1nendous cost Of blood and treasure.
Our national debt would also be
hebled and our pension rolls, like
wise be trebled would be mort
gage on American labor for anoth-
ar century, A struggle between the
two dominant nations OF the globe
ID all probability would involve
other nations, and quarrel about
8 few seal in the Behring sea might
occasion bioodshed in the Baltic
the Mediterranean, the Indian ocean
and the isles Of the Pacific arcki-
pelago. The world not recover
from such struggle for century
and future generations would tight
and quarrel again. America and
England should not indulge in any
Jingoism when settling the little
breeze that has sprung up in the
North Pacific.-Louisville Times.

Il Boy Hero,

One chapter III the terrible storm
affair at IIinckley GA tue 3rI a.,
has as yet not been published, and
as worthy of something more than
passing notice. To begin, it is
necessary to state that Mr.. George
Maloney's house was co"pletely de
molishej aud all the family more or
less injured. After the house had
blown down, and while the storm
was yet raging, Mr.. MaIoney's
oldest son, a boy about ten years
old, did some heroic work IN caring
for and protecting the family. He,
like all the rest, was knocked sense
less by the falling tirnbsrs, but sooa
regatned consciousness. Realizing
that a great calamity had occurred
and not knowing but what the
other members Of the family were
killed or blown away, he staggered
to his feet and began searching
about the ruins for the other chill
dren. His frat thought was OF the
DlbY, which, aftes cropping about
hurriedly in the darkness and ter
ror OF the storm, he ionnd some
ways from the hOase, in the edge
OF the cotton patch. Ii was hud-
died up in its clothing, and thought
exposed to the peltiog hail it was
entirely unframed and as quiet as
If asleep in its cradle. He carried
it to the stable and put it out OF
reach OF the cruel wind and rain
Then he leturned to the fallen
building and ono by one carried all
the children TO the stable and
slowed them safely away. The
father and mother, he could not
move, as they were imprisoned in
the wreck Of the house, besides
being badly wounded. But with a
courage and devotion that has few
parallels, braved the fury OF the
storm and was enabled to break it,
force by placing planks on the
windward side. During all the
time he was engaged in this noble
and devoted work, the rain fell in
torrents and he WAS scarcely able to
see anything, so dark and dense
was the cloud GU which the storm
king rode. When it is further con
sidered IL4t he was alone-father
and mother wounded and uncon.
scious-the children all bruised anC
bleeding-it will be acknowledged
ut once that his actions were won
derful for one so young. and no on'
will deny that he exhibited spiri
of herolsm and thoughtIulness tina
is seldom met with in the records o

Wife-Be0tin9.

1t don't pay to whip your wife
in the free state of Van Zandt, as is
ev idence! by The verdict of iury
this week, which fined young fel
low named Wilson $25 and costs for
using the lash on his better half
the woman whom he prom sed to
love and protect.
While it does not exactly "pay''
to whip ones wife in Van Zandt, i,
can also be said that it does not
cost very much. A jury cannot be
Dragged on very much that would
fine man only that sum for SO
mean an act. 1t would have been
better advertisement of Van Zandt
if he had been fined $3.50 and given
term in Jail.
He ought TO have been fined $500
and put Ia Jail Tor twelve months,
at the end Of which time a good
whipping should close the scene.
Ii the wife was SO mean as to de
serve whipping he should have
been punished for living with such
woman; if she was a good wife
be should have been punIshed even
beyond the utmost limit OF the law
for his own meanness. SO it should
have been a penalty anyway.

Mothers.

There are upon the skin Of every hu-
man being, child and adult alike, 2, 300
600 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, Is ex-
PEELED more than one-quarter OF the
nourishment taken into the system.
The importance OF keeping open these
perspiration valves upon a child's body,
is second only to tibet eff promptly d.
costing the food eaten. 1t was to open
the pores of the skin and to assimilate
the food that DIR. Pitcher formulated
Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation,
fesers and eruptions which are so con-
slant among nfants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these two causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating
the stoEachs and bowels ard keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Casio
ria acquired its world wide reputation
With plenty OF water for the body,
pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
assmilate the food, there need be no
unaccounted Tor sickness among chill
dren. Castoria is vegetable prescrip-
ton without morphine or other narcotic
properly. Thirty years extensive use
has given it i. history yer attained by
another medicine.

Joseph Donovan Meets Death in a slOgu-
lar Manner.

Joseph Donovan Meets Death IA slogu-
lar Manner.
Joseph Donovan, a coal miner, who re-
sided at No. 1859 High street, was drowned
in q rather singular manner yesterday
afternoon about four o'clock.
1t appears that Donovan went to a els
tern, which is located beneath a porch at
his residence, for the purpose of drawing
some water. he lifted the trap door that
covered the cistern and stopped over to dip
the water ont, the well being nearly full
at the time.
Ia reaching over Donovan lost his equil-
ibrum and pitched headforemOst into the
water, but when his head and shoulders got
under the surface, be in sOmeway was
caught. but was unable to eXtricate him
self
His wife, hearing the noise, rushed out
and sezsd her husband, but she too was
unable 10 pull him from his peculiar and
perilous position. She shouted for help,
however, meanwhile holding him from GO
ing further into the water. In this posi-
ton the unfortunate man remained some
time and be was gradually sufocating.
At last his struggles became so violent that
his wife could hold him no longer, and he
shot head first 10 the bottom of the cistern,
a distance of about thirteen fset.
The horrifsd woman could do nothing
but scream for aid, and when it came at
last it was too late. Mr.. Donovan was 8
corpse
The body was taken out and everything
done to resuscitate il, but without avail,
and there was nothing TO be done except
to summon the coroner. Coroner Schultz
went mp, and after examining the remains
he gave a verdict Of accidental drowning in
accordance with the above circumstances.
Donovan leaves besides his wife several
children
