FROM the testimony given by Secre-
tray of the Navy Herbert before the in
vsstigating committee, it appears that
the United States government has been
paying more for armor plate than is
charged by the same firms for the same
thing sold to Russia. The secretary's ex-
PLANTATION is that competition for the Rus
sian trade was so sharp that it was nee
essary to sell close in order to get the
business. A little competition might be
a good thing for Uncle Sans pocket
book. There is something wrong about
system which permits manufacturers to
exact higher prices from home trade
than they can obtain elsewhere. 1t is
not very long since Singer sewing ma
chimes made in the United States were
being purchased in Europe and shipped
back here for use as a matter of econo-
my, and it was a we'll authenticated fact
that American harvesting machinery
could be purchased in Russia at lower
price than that at which it could be OBJ
talked here.

SLEPT SEVEN YEARS.
Almost Unparalleled Case of william De-
pue of Milford, Pa.

Information was received at Milford,
Pa, to the effect that William Depue, a
prominent citizen of Bushkill, Pike cCun-
ty, whose mind for seven years has been a
blank, had suddenly returned to con-
sciousness.
Mr.. Depue is very averse to discussing
the particulars of his almost unparalleled
case. Seven years ago, while at work,
Mr.. Depue became i'll. Doctors were
summoned, but they could find no posi-
BILE ailment.
The sick man sank into a cataleptic
sleep, from which medical science could
not arouse him.
At 10 time during the long period did
he recognize any one, and food was given
him through tube inserted in his mouth.
He lost no flesh and was apparently as
healthy as any man.
Although the best medical men in the
country were called to his bedside, his case
baffled them all.
Upon recovering his senses he set about
his usual labers as if he had been asleep
but the ordinary time. He remem bers
nothing that has taken place during his
seven years trance. The only result is
that he is almost blind, otherwise his phys
ical health is perfect.-New York Herald.

A One Armed Tennis Champion.

The champion lady tennis player of New
Zealand is Miss Hilda Hitchings. Her
performances are remarkable in view of
the fact that she was born with only one
arm. With the left hand she holds the
racket with three fingers and the ball
with the remaining finger and thumb. A
slight toss of the ball. followed by a smart,
twisty tap with the racket, results in a
fast, low service which her opponents have
found anything but easy to take.
Miss Hitchings is described as 8 feet II
inches in height of 1.-the figure, COM
manding reach and active movement,
which physical qualities, added to accurate
placing, WOE for her the gold cham pion
cup of 1895.

ADVOCATES of government ownership
and operation of telegraph have been
accustomed to cite the postal system as
justification of their claims regarding
the great benefits which would accrue
from an extension of government man
agement to the telegraph service. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to them
that in reality the government owns, OPP
crates and controls but a small part of
the postal service, which includes merely
receiving the packages. asserting and
properly distributing them. The work
of transportation which involves the in
vestment of many millions of capital is
carried on by private corporations gen
orally at a fixed price per pound per
mile. This means of transportation
could not be maintained at all were it
not for other traffic in both freight and
passengers. A government operation of
the telegraph would necessarily involve
ownership of the means of transmission,
while such is not the case with the postal
service. Hence, comparisons cannot be
made with any degree of accuracy.

POOR WALLER.

Resolutions calling for the cores
pondence and evidence in the Waller
case were adopted in both houses at the
very beginning of the present session of
congress yet no compliance or attempt
at compliance has been made by the
administration. The administration ap-
parently realizes that its conduct of the
Waller case has not been anything to be
proud of and is willing to let it remain In
the back ground as long as possible.
Representative Miller the other day
called the attention of Representative
Hit of Illinois, who is chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, to the matter
and he called on Secretary Olney. Sec
rotary Olney gave every outward mani
festation of being anxious to move in
she matter but pleaded the excuse that
the work of the department had been
greatly increased of late with no provi-
ton being made for extra help and it
was impossible to get the Waller matter
in shape.
There is of course every reason to be-
lieve that the admiRistratio doesn't care
to furnish the correspondence and docu
ments in the case but the foreign affairs
committee feels a reluctance to go be-
hind the secretary's word. So the JUS
tice of Walters Imprisonment remains
undetermined on account of red tape and
an uninterested administration.

uNERRrNa INSTINCT.
Remarkable Test of BIoodhounds In 3
CitY,s Streets.

Citys Streets.
An interesting test of the skill of blood
hounds in man tracking through the
streets of a populous city over ice and snow
was given at Indianapolis recently in con-
nection with the pet stock show. Four
dogs were entered in the test.
Early in the morning DIR. Bell of Ko-
komo left Tomlinson hall and passed out,
and after walking through alleys and
streets he put on a pair of arctic over
shoes and continued his walk through the
parks and on the streets frequented by. pc
destrians. On the line of march the doc
tor saw runaway team, and, in connec-
ton with the crowd, assisted in catching
the horses. He then returned to the hall
where the show was in progress.
An hour later the dogs were placed on
the trail and followed with comparative
ease, except at the point where the run
away was halted and one or two other
places over which there had been consider
able travel and around which the crowd
following the dogs surged until it was al
most impossible to break through. With
unerring instinct, however, the dogs again
found the trail, followed it steadily over
the entire line which DIR. Bell had walked
and back to Tomlinson hail, whore they
picked him out of a crowd of several hun
dred people, going up to him and indicat-
ing his identity by barking.

REVOLUTION PREDICTED.

If Spain Does Rot Restore Order In Cuba,
Monarchy May Be Abolished.
Havana newspapers publish a Madrid
dispatch stating that the newspaper FL
Pals of the latter city is causing great ex-
oitement by its attacks on the government
for its course toward Cuba. FL Pals
charges that Spain for years has allowed
impoverished noblemen to name their
henchmen for official positions in Cuba
and that the Cubans have been robbed
that these grandees might live in luxury.
Thousands of Spaniards know this"
continues Ell Pals, land in their hearts
hope the Cubans will win. Monarchy has
been a failure in Spain, and unless the
government quickly restores order in
Cuba and grants the island autonomy
there will be revolution in Spain which
will result in the establishment of a re-
public. Spaniards have their grievances as
we'll as Cubans, and there are indications
that, taking advantage Of the absence of
the soldiers in Cuba, they will attempt to
redress them. The monarchy has itself to
blame. 1t has been the ally of corruption.

We will do our share of fighting
If the worst should really come,
Though we aren't just delighting
In the music of the drum.
Some may love the blare and riot
When O nation strikes blow,
But it's nice to sit in quiet
With front seat at the show.
With Williams rage arising

How much trouble they may raise;
But Uncle Sam, whose ardor
Was great some months ago.
May now do nothing harder
Than to sit and view the show.
