Some War Relics.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2S.-Two of
the old United States navy monitors,
the Lehigh and the Catskill, are now
at the Leauge Island navy yard, hav-
ing been towed up the river yesterday
by the tug boat Luckenbach. Both
the old monitors have been in the dry
dock at Norfolk, Va, where they had
their bottoms cleaned and painted.
Their matches and other deck openings
were made water-tigbt for the ocean
trip. The old monitors had been lying
about two and half miles below
Richmond, Va, since 1886, when they
were taken there from City Point,
some distance below, on the James
River. These monitors, some of the
few remaining naval vessels built dur
sells during the rebellion, will be most
attractive for Philadelphians to visit,
for they bear evidence of the
fire from the Confederates. Both
the Catskill and the Lehigh
have a number of shot indenta-
tions in their turrets and some in the
low sides of their hulls. The Lehigh
went aground during the war near
Fort Moultrie, Charleston harbor and
received a heavy fire before she was
pulled off Of the shore. The CatSkill
was engaged in the attack on Fort
Fisher, n. c., in which she took a
prominent part. The other monitors
which are to come to League Island
all show the indentations made by
shot, either in their turretS or hulls,

of the double tragedy Arizona, Leonia
and Laura Moore, all sisters, went on
visit to neighoor's house. keener
saw them go and when they returned
he sprang out from behind rock and
shot Leonia first. Laura seized both
his hands and held them while her
sister, Arizona, ran away. keener
finally broke loose, however, and pur-
sued and killed Arizona. He threat
ened to kill his sister, who tried to
save the girl There has never been

No Wonder.

South BEND, Ind, Aug. 2S.-For
several years Mishawaka, a small
place three miles east of South Bend,
has been visited annually by conta-
gious diseases; causing many deaths.
About three months ago an epidemic
of diphtheria broke out which quickly
spread over the entire village with
many fatal cases. Workmen engaged
on an electric plant shut OF the water
to drain the large pit, or reservoir,
from which the water mains OF Mlsh-
awka are supplied. The bed OF the
pit was covered with dead flesh,
snakes, dogs, cats and other dead ami
mails. Workmen who attempted to
clean the pit were overcome. All OF
the water used in Mishawaka was
drawn through this mass Of decaylng
animal matter.

in the record and pension division of

some of the details preceding Kittels
leaving here were learned at his board
ing house. Here he formed the ac.

ty-year-old daughter of the landlord.
Kittel wasalmost constant in his atten.
tionto theyoung lady from the frstand
they were engaged to be married. The
wedding day was fixed for last Satur'
day, all arrangements having been
made to have the ceremony performed
in Baltimore on that day. Mr.. Kittel
surprised his sweetheart Friday night
by telling her that the wedding would
have to be postponed for short time,
because he was broken down in health
and had obtained a seven days leave
of absence from the office and intend
ed going away for short time to try
and recuperate. The young lady pro-
tested at first, but seeing her entreaties
were without effect she reluctantly
consented to the proposed trip. He
left Washington Saturday night, 60.
ing direct to Pittsburg, and the sad
news o. his suicide in that city was
the first word Miss Wylie has received
OF him since his departure. He is
about 80 years of age and it is under
stood that his parents are in Florida.

An Heirloom Of Disease Germs.

Infected beds are a menace to the
health, but an exchange says the
most unsanitary Of all household artl-
cles is the feather bed. Quite too fre-
quently it is an heirloom which has
come down through many generations
past, and at times it proves to be a
genuine Pandora's box OF germs and
malodors and other unsanitary things
which have accumulated during the
several generations in which it has
done service for all sorts OF people an
der all sorts of conditions. In the
larger cities, convenient renovatlng
establishments afford facilities for the
publication of feather beds, pillows.
etc., which to some degree remedies
the evils of which we complain, but by
no means altogether, for the feather
bed, at best, contains a considerable
amount of organic matter clinging to
the quills and feathers, which, absorb

undergoing decomposition, throwing
off poisonous gases into the air and

All Want Office.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 2S.-Now
that the constitutional convention is
almost in sight there are hundreds OF
hungry office seekers wanting jobs
and they are making life miserable to
some people whom they think have
numbers of positions to deal out to
the faithful. For instance the Attor-
ney General has received between
S. 5zty-fve and one hundred applica-
tons for positions in the engrossing g
department of the convention: Really
there is no such thing. No provision
was made for any such department
and the Attorney General has abso,
lutely nothing to do with it and hence
has no positions to give. II applicants
will bear this in mind they will save
themselves trouble and disappoint-
ment. If there is to be an ergrossing
department the convention will have
to provide for one and how the posi-
tons shall be filed. The Attorney
General, in speaking of the engross
| ing department, said that he had al
ready two hundred applications for
positions in that department during
the session of the Legislature. There
are only twelve to be given out and
out of the batch Of two hundred there
are exactly one hundred and eighty
eight people who are going to get left.

It is estimated that this acreage
should average $50 pounds to the acre
at least, thus giving for this year a
production of 13, ,067, ,750 pounds. Its
possible that it will 60 higher, but the
most conservative men place the total
crop at not over this figure. This crop,
taking minimum average price of 10
cents a pound, ought to bring to the
farmers 81, $50, $50. 1t is estimated
that the average cost of production of
the tobacco IS only S45 per acre, in
which case, taking the acreage as Civ
en-. the total cost Of production of the
crop will be s691.S75, leaving profit
to the tobacco farmers Of SS76, 225. 1t
is easy to see what a handsome profit
per acre these figures allow. Some Of
the best farmers tell me that they do
not think the average profit per acre
will fall below $23, under any circum-
stances whatever. If cotton were s
cents pound, they tell me, it would
be hardly possible to make more than
Sc per acre. The difference speaks for
itself.
In Florence county there are 800 to-

THE Union will continue to do the
piping for Gest with the idea that if
it should come Gest's way in the fu-
ture. in the event of his going to
congress, he will reward it. But
how sadly the 1 MON will be disap-
pointed! The poor blind thing does
not realize first that Gest is polit-

down his friends, and second, that
under its very nose a combination
has been made by which should the
unexpected happen-Gest be elected.
and the republicans elect the next
president-McConoch e is to have the
preference. But even this is not like

one who must be placated.
