How we grow Old

The thread that blinds us to life is most frequently severed are the meri- dian of life is reached in the case of persons who neglect obvious means to renew failing strength Vigor, no less the source of happiness than the con- dition of long life, can be created and perpetusted where it does not exist. Thousands who have experienced or are cognizant-including many phy- sicisns of eminence-of the effects Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, bear tes- timony to its wondrous efficacy as a creator of strength in feeble constitu- tions, and debilitated and shattered systems. A steady performance of the bodily functions, renewed ap- petite, flesh and nightly repose attend the use of this thorough and standard renovant. Use no local tonic repre- sented to be akin to or resemble it in its place. Demand the genuine which is an acknowledged remedy for ipdi- gestion, malaria, nervousness, cons tipation, liver and kidney complaints and rheumatism. A

The St. Petersburg correspondent oi the Cologne Gazette says Russia in tends to add, on August list, 90 per cent 10 the present maximum tariff of German importations. This will be Russa's reply to Germany's increase oi 90 per cent on her tariff.
 Representative Geary of California says he always has been opposed to the Sherman act; it is vicious and time does not improve it. Ol course some subsequent legislation will be necessary. but he was not prepared to say what it will be. He is satisfied, however that the sherman law will go, and in its stead we will have some thing of benefit instead of harm.
 Senator Pugh, ol Alabama. in an interviep on the coming congress says the unconditional repeal Of the Sher- man law will leave silver at the mercy of its enemies. The majority of both houses are Democratic and fearful responsibility will rest on those Demo- crats who aid in giving the enemies of of silver all they want. The majori- ty of the Democrats senators, he says connot be influenced to vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act.
 Senator Wolcott of Colorado ex- pressed the opinion in an interview that ice coinage would triumph in the special sesslon. The deplorable con- dition of aflai.s all through the mining region Of the west ;.ad strengthened the determination Eof the silver people The Sherman bIll, he thinks, will not be repealed without satisfactory substitute.

BY WIRE.

A telegram from Bankok indicates that the siamese are deeply disapoint- ed at not receiving the support of the English government on which they reckoned in the dispute.
 The Siamese government has &C., cepted the full terms of the French ultimatum, which is the same as published in these despatches a few days ago with the exception that the war cloud in the east will pass away.
 The Washington Post today pub blishes an estimate of the probable vote in the senate on the repeal of the sherman silver purchase law. It gives 37 for unconditional repeal, II who will vote for repeal but would like to mellow it and 34 against it, or for free silver coinage.
 The canvas made by the silver men give the figures as follows: For a gold standard and absolute repeal, 34 1; probably Tor, but as yet uncommitted 6; total 40. Against repeal unless with conditions, for free silver coinage 43. Three senators from Washington, Montana and Wyoming are to be ad- mitted, which will swell this vote to 46.
 Senator Hill in the course of a speech in New York said: The whole country is at last awakening to the impropriety of making our money metals a matter of merchandise by the government itself, and hoping the patriotic congress, soon to convene will faithfully respond with promti- tude to the demands of public senti- ment in that regard"
 An interesting comment made by Emperor William prior to his depart. ure from Kiel for the Isle of Wight, is reported. His majesty remarked that England was not strong enough to assert herself against any European power or against the United States. He further declared that if ever she was brought into conflict with any O! these nations, the belief in her for midable strength and her reputation as queen of the seas would burst like a soap bubble.

WON'T CONSULT THE eARoNs.
The Next Tarin BilI VIII lie Prepared
without Their Aid.


The next ways and means committee
of the house will not give hearings to
the various people who are interested
in maintaining the present high tariff,
or their attorneys. That much at
least is settled. OF course there may
be some deviations from this rule, but
there will be no such scandaious doings
in the next congress AS there were in
the Reed congress which put through
the Mckinley bill. The ways and
means committee will not take up
months of time listening to arguments
of interested parties. 10 preserve tho
present high tariff, nor will they al
low the representatives Of the different
infant industries to lobby through
schedules which will benefit them and
work injury TO the country at large.
One of the greatest scandals in the
history of legislation in this country
was connected with the preparation Of
the Mckinley bill The representa-
tives Of the iron. steel and other big in
dustries. after arguing before the CON-
mittee, submitted the schedules they
wished adopted. They were accepted
and embodied in the bill which bears
Mckinlcy's name, without single
change. An exposure Of this infamy
was made on the floor Of the house by
Representative Tarner, of Georgia. IL
was made at a time, however, when
other important events were crowdinR
each other and did not excite the at
tcntion IL should. 1t will have no rep
ctition in the next house. There are
volumes upon volumes Of testimony
and arguments which the next commit
tee will have mt its hand, and there
will be no necessity, except in few in
stances, for that body to take testimony
or hear further arguments ST LouiI

She is 1yU feet in length, with beam
of 10 feet, draft of 10 feet and dis
placement Of $50 tons. Her bow and
stern are long and sharp, her upper deck
low, with no rail, and the projections
to her engines and boilers are of the best
ard so arranged as to permit her to run
at the enemy head on. Eight feet under
water is the alleged destroyer. 1t is of
steel, projects forward 81 feet inches
in length and weighs 1,525 pounds.
From 80 to 40 pounds Of powder propel
the torpedo at a velocity of 54S feet per
second, and in the forward end Of it is
a charge weighing 300 pounds, which is
exploded by percussion cap when it
strikes. A tube runs the entire length
of the vessel just above the keel. fixed
with water tight cap at the bow. Re-
cent experiments show, the engineers re-
port, that at distance of 900 feet three
shots out of four would strike and de-
stroy an enemy's vessel.

ERlCSSON,S LAST VESSEL.

The Destroyer. Which the Aged Inventor
Designed. but Never Saw.
No certain limits can be fixed to the
progress which science will make in na-
val warfare, as from year to year there
seems to be a pretty even race between
the builders Of stronger ships and the in
ventors of more destructive and far
reaching projectiles. To vary the famous
old paradox, no sooner does one invent
an invincible steel, iron or tinclad than
another invents an irresistible shot or
torpedo.
Captain Ericsson had but just revolu-
tionized naval warfare with his monitors
when he began the construction of aves-
sci to insure their destruction. He died
before completing his plans, but the
United States naval department. was so
satisfied with his plans that it intrusted
their completion to Engineer V. F. Las
soc and others familiar with them. The
vessel built under their instruction is
now completed and is aptly named The
Destroyer.

KRupp's GREAT GUN.
Has Reached Baltimore and Will Soon
Go to Chicago.

The great 124-ton Krupp gun for ex-
hibition at Chicago has reached Balti-
more on the steamer Loquiel from Ham
burg. The car which is to carry the BIZ
gun to Chicago is ready and is almost as
much of curiosity as the freight. 1t is
a huge affair, which looks like nothing
else on wheels. The stout, fiat cars run
up to within ten feet of one another, and
connected by superstructure styled
bridge and having something the appear,
ance of section of elevated railroad
pared down at the ends make up the
chariot on which Herr Krupp's master
piece is to ride to Chicago. 1t is partic-
ularly rich on wheels. There are thirty
two of them in all. Each of the fiat cars
has sixteen, arranged on two eight
wheel trucks, which work on pivots.
Further play for curves is allowed by the
attachments of the bridge 80 the cars,
like the seat attachment the small boy
uses in his bob sled.
The question of meeting the twists in
the railroads appears to have been met.
There is a lavish equipment in the way
of brakes. An old-fashioned hand flair
sticks up on each of the flat cars, while
every wheel has its-automatic brake to
be worked from the engine. The coup
lings and buffers are of the most MASSIVE
description. Gun and car together will
put burden of 445,O0O pounds on the
rails. This is the way the total will be
made up: Weight Of gun, 27o,0oo
pounds; weight of bridge, 1900 pounds;
weight of each flat car. 81, 900 pounds.
To the lay observer it looks very much
as if the Krupp rifle on its travels would
strike as hard blow in case of a coils
ion as would be inflicted by it's four-foot
projectile discharged in orthodox fashion
against an enemy's defenses. The gun
in place on its carriage viii tower up
good deal higher than the roof OF an Or
binary box car.
