The war ships of all nations and the
three initiated ships of Columbus that were
assembled at Hampton Roads, sailed from
there Monday, and reached New York on
Tuesday.
Wednesday they steamed up the bay and
anchored in the Hudson in two lines di-
rect,y opposite the city, extending from
30th street on the south TO Goth street on
the north. q distance of three miles. This
covered the major portion of the beautiful
Riverside Park. which adorns the edge OF
the river and reaches from 72d street tc
l25th street. On the New Jersey or west
side Of the river are the high cliffs known
as the Palisades. Fine views of the ma
neuvers were obtained.
Wednesday morning also an interesting
ceremony took place pertaining to the In
augeration of the statute of ] Ohm Ericsson,
which is to be placed in the beautiful Bat
terry Park, at the extreme southern point
of the city, where the waters of the Hud-
son and East rivers meet and flow souther-
" into the Bay of New York.
Ericsson was, in certain sense, the
father of ironclad war ships. In conuec-
tion with the statute inauguration there
was grand parade on Broadway.
To-day, Thursday a grand naval re-
view will take place. The President Of
the United States and many distinguish ed
members of the government, foreign am
basadors, and prominent visitors will take
part in the affair. Among them will be
Don Chrisobal Colon be la Cerda, Fl ON
Spain, who is lenial descendant of the
Great Admirals.
The President and party, amid the thund-
ering of great guns, will embark on the
war ship Dolphin, and move up the river,
between the two lines vi war ships. Each
vessel, as the Dolphin passes, will ire
salute of twenty guIS. Alter passing
through the great feet, the Dolphin Will
come to an anchor. and the President Will
hold a reception tor The commanders OF
the various vessels. after which, the Pres
ident will Dissent bark; and at this moment
each of the great ships will deliver another
laundering salute Of t@eRty-"ne guns.
The festivities Of the day will close with
a grand ball at the Madison Square Gar
dens, where fifteen thousand people may
be easily entertained.
Tomorrow. (Friday) Broadway will be
the scene of further festivities, taking the
10TH Ol Il STSuu pdIdue VI soIuiOiS oh u
sailors, to which many of the war ships
will contribute quotas of men. The line
of march is to be from the beautiful Italian
statute of Columbus, to 59th street, the en-
trance to Central Park, down Broadway to
the City Hall, distance of five miles,
where the governor, the mayor and the
civil authorities will receive and entertain
the honored guests.
This will be the greatest naval demon
stration ever witnessed in the new world
and will form fitting prelude to the open
ing ceremonies of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, which takes place at Chicago
on May 1st.

Can't wake the Baby,

A child of John Russell, of Peabody,
Mass, has been sleeping for six days and
shows no signs of waxing The child WIS
perfectly healthy previous to this attack,
and the first thing that attracted the atten-
tion of her father was that she did not
wake up. She lies on the bed day after
day in the aame positi on, suffering no
pain, but with every appearance of natur-
al sleep. Her temperature has been ~ lit
tie higher than normal at times, but when
last taken was only normal.
The child is insensble topain, and the
doctors say her finger could be cut of
without her feeling it. Nourishment is
given her, and she swallows the food which
is put into her mouth. The cause of the
long sleep is thought by the attending
physicians to be a low form of meningitis,
but the outcome is wholly problematical,
although the child may live. She is four
years old.

az do not write this at the request OF
any one, but because feel it duty to hu-
manity, so that others afflicted as my boy
was may know where to find relief.
"When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack of fever,
which was broken up, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing him great
suffering, and the muscles so contracted
that his leg was drawn up at right angles.
He was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and thought him a
Confirmed Cripple.
"After a time we had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over pint
of pus at times. I decided to take him to
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,
expecting he would lose it. But he had
become so poor and weak that / thought
would let him gather some strength, il
possible, and bought bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and began giving it to him.
This medicine soon woke up his appetite,

Political.

A Harrisburg correspondent says:
SenatorMeredith's congressional appor
tion ment bill was finally passed in the
Senate. / have already referred to this
bill. 1t is the same as passed and vetoed
at the last session and leaves the districts
throughout the State as they are at prea
ent except in Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties, where an additional member II
added which makes the required thirty
members for the State. Mr.. Lawrence, O
Washington, has presenter bill to the
House which makes several changes IN tht
different districts. Under its arrange
ment The Twenty fourth District would be
composed Of the counties of Warren, Nc
Kean, Elk, Venango, Forest and Jeffersoni
Twenty fifth, Clarion, Butler, Armstrong
and Indiana; Twenty sixth, Erie, Craw-
ford and Mercer; Twenty seventh, Law
renee, Beaver, Greene and Washington.
Westmorland and Cambria would form the
Twenty second. 1t is safe TO say, how
ever, that either the Meredith bill will be-
come law or the State will remain under
the present apportionment.
The Republican primaries of Lawrence
Co., held last Saturday were quite lively
and resulted as follows: For Clerk OF
Courts, CAPTAIN A. S. Love of New Castle;
for county treasurer, James W. Cunning
ham Of Wayne twp; for county commits
sioners, Stewart Thompson of West New
Castle, and r. NJ. Eccles of New Castle.
"The bill to make Lawrence county a
serarate judicial district, which passed
finally in both branches of the Legisla
ture at Harrisburg last Friday, is now in
the hands of the Governor. A strong pres
sure is being brought to bear on Governor
Pattison to have the bill signed. A day
or two after its final passage. the two Rep
resentatives from Butler county, the pres
ent other half of the judicial district,
Messrs. Mates and Douthett, accompanied
by our representatives, Messrs. Grigsby
and Martin, called on Governor Pattison,
and that distinguished gentleman listened
to arguments in favor of the bills.
If Governor Pattison desires to make
the people of Lawrence county happy, he
will sign the bill and put us out of sus-
pence.-New Castle C0urdAt.
The Republican county committee OF
Erie Co. met Tuesday and fixed August l9
as the date for the primaries. Early
primaries have not Injured for the benefit
of the Republicans of Erie county in re-
cent years, as they have given the Demo
Gratis too much time to organize. The
offices to be filled are prothonotary, regis
ter and recorder, clerk Of courts and coun-
ty commissioners.

ed them out in obedience TO instruchons,
Holly escaped, but Fuentes was captured
by the guard that surrounded the Lega-
ton.

A GENTLEMAN Just returned from Chicago
said to jamestown Journal reporter: IF
you go to Chicago be prepared to be feeced
at every turn. All Chicago is in conspiracy
to get out of visitors every cent he takes
there. 1t costs money to breathe there
now. Every convenience, every comfort,
not to mention the luxuries, are charged
for. Let no one be led into going to Chi
cago without plenty of money. The
Worlds Fair this year is in different city
than the Centennial was held in. Chicago
gives you hearty welcome; oh, yes; but
she invites you to leave your money there.
If you do not take big wad there you
will have to telegraph home for additional
funds Still it will be a big show and re-
pay visit, if it does come high"

THE real balm of Gilead is the dried juice
of a low shrub which grows in Syria. 1t
is very valuable and scarce, for the amount
of balm yielded by one shrub never exceed
60 drops day. According to Josedhus,
the balm or balsalm of Glead was one of
the presents given by the Queen of Sheba
to King Solomon. The ancient Hebrew
physician prescribed it evidently Tor
dyspepsia and melanchOlia.
