Women are known to have many
novel vacations, but that of Miss
Edna Wynock, OF this city, is
about as novel and out of the gen.
eral order as any. She does all
sorts of outdoor advertising work,
such as painting on barn sides,
signboards, roofs Of houses and the
like. She is not afraid of scaffold
or ladder, and will scale a rope lad

She is fearless and enjoys her
work. She engaged with local
tobacco company, and with rule,
pencil, brushes and bucket she
assumed command of the side OF a
brick building and commenced her
work. During the day hundreds

her situation. She gave the on

but continued work In purely
business-like manner until 5 go

Horatio Rubens, attorney OF the
Cuban Junta, Is still in the city,

ments of prominent Cubans.
From good authority 1t is
learned that arms and munitions
Of war have been coming into the
state for some time and are being
stored at point south Of Jackson
vile. The general opinion is that
these supplies are to be carried te
sea on a tug-boat and then put or
board the steamer Laurida, which
is now on her way south with 9

OF the revenue cutter Boutwell,
would seem to indicate that thu

HERBERTs ADDRESS.
Tells the War College Boy Of the Advan-
tags of Floating Fighters.


NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 13.-Secre-
tary Herbert addressed the class
at the War college here on "The
Sea and Sea Power as a Factor In
the United States"
The secretary recalled the value
Of a navy to engage in prolonging
the war of the revolution, enabling
tn 10 country to preserve basis Of
supplies and transport troops by
water, which, owing to lack of
ships, the colonists could not do.
In the war OF 1872, almost ex-
actly similar conditions prevailed,
but in the civil war the United
States government had the advan-
tage in having q formidable navy
at its disposal, and being able to
blockade the ports of the Confed.
eracy and prevent the sending OF
cotton, etc., abroad to purchase
munitions.
The secretary cited a number o.
| instances to show the value Of
naval service in the late war, an6
went into a brief review Of parts o
that wonderful struggle.

CRIMINAL CARLESSNESS.
q. s. Ship Montgomery Fires a soli'
Shot Into Key West.


KEY WEST, Aug. ia solid
shot from the U. s. ship Montgom-
cry caused considerable excitement
on North Beach in this city.
About II o'clock the people living
in that vicinity were startled by
the report of a cannon and on look
about discovered that the shot had
struck the fence Of Mr.. Samuel
Crates, directly opposite the front
door of his residence. There were
several persons in the hallway at
the time, but luckily the direction
of the shot was changed by strik-
ing the outer edge of one OF the
fence pickets about twenty feet
distant from the house, thus avoid
ing what might have been serious
consequences.
Mr.. Crates was considerably
wrought up over the affair and re-
ported tito the commander OF the
naval station. 1t is rumored that
the shot was fred at one Of the
sponging fleet about to pass quar-
antine trying to evade the quaran-
tine laws. This does not justify an
American war vessel in firing solid
shot into a densely populated city
and jeopardizing the lives OF its

THE GERMAN VOTE.
1t is Strong and Solid In the Central
States.

States.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 3D.
The politicians are not little con-
cerned with the probable action of
the German vote. The most en-
thusiastic Democrats are not say
ing much about it, while the
sound money people are freely
predicting, and apparently with
good reason, that it will be cast
almost entirely with them. One
close student, who has followed
the campaign in the northwest,
said: 81 set great store by the
Germans. The vote OF naturalized
Germans and their sons is about
million. In the twelve states
called North Central, by the
census, the German vote exceeds
100000. Roughly speaking, it is
about $4,000 in Illinois, 10000 in
Michigan, $4,000 in Wisconsin, 49,
600 in Minnesota, about the same
in Iowa and Missouri east, $4,000
in Nebraska, and $4,000 n Kansas.
"This vote is the most independ-
emit in America. In 1892 1t went
very generally for Cleveland. This
year it will be almost the unit for
sound money, in part, perhaps, for
a third ticket, but mostly for the
Republican platform and McKin-
ley. Accordingly Ihave no fear OF
the result in Illinois, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa
and even Nebraska. Kansas and
Missouri are in doubt. I believe
South Dakota will 60 Republican.
"For the figures on which 1 rely,
look at the census for population
and the parentsge Of voters, bear
ing in mind the added population
of the past six years. 1t should
also be remembered that in Indi-
ana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas, citizenship is not prere-
quisite of voting, and many aliens,
who have declared their intention
to become citizens, will according
ly vote for president. How the
German element of this alien vote,
as we'll as the Germans and their
sons who have been in the
country for many years, in
f1uenced results in 1892, Is we'll
known. Mr.. Cleveland could not
have carried Illinois or Wis
consin without the Germans. In
1860, when the Germans of Illinois,
then fewer in number, made the
state Republican, you could hardly
find an anti-Union German there,
and this year it will be almost as
difficult to find free silver Ger
mans.
"In dealing with this German
vote, English-speaking politicians
usually blunder greatly. The Ger
mans are critical and sensitive,
and in most cases prefer English
to German speeches. A campaign
document in faulty German en-
RACES the men for whom it is
intended; when in doubt they
should be given honest English.
They came here to become Ameri-
cans, and resent being called any.
thing else. They use the word
German as Yankees use the word
English, to denote a language, not
citizenship nor allegiance. Similar
reasoning, to a certain extent, ap'
plies to the Scandinavians. The
greatest danger to the gold stand
ard cause in the states 1 have
named, comes from the possibility
OF laundering campaign managers
who, by patronizing course, may
| drive off the German vote"
