been hidden around a point and which
appeared few minutes after the launch
opened fire, gave chase, using her bow
gun, evidently a 12-pounder The filibus-

gunners did poor work in the uncertain
moonlight. One shell passed over the

ahead of her. The others went wide, none
taking effect. Shrapnel poured from the
munster and burst near the Spanish
launch, but while l was watching from

any damage.
The roar of our Hotchkiss gun, giving no.

surprise to the Spaniards, and no doubt in

The h1buster had expected to meet a
strong detachment of Cuban troops at the

To Sufferers From Bronchial
Complaints.
The Victims Of These Distressing Ailments Can be Ssvat
From the Deadly Consumption Those Who Have bean
Cured Point Out Means Of Rsisf-A Traatmant That
Has Worked Wonderful Results

AT this season larger percentage of peo-
pie suffer from lung, throat and bronchial
troubles than all the numerous other dis
eases combined. A hoarseness, a slight
cough, wheeling and labored breathing
amounting at first to only little inconve-
nience may be the forerunner of one Of the
many distressing ailments peculiar to these
organs and which may develop into some
incurable disease. No disease is more
battling in its nature and none requires
more skilful and prompt attention than
bronchitis. This annoying complaint, un-
less checked, will eventually attack the
lungs and scarcely before it's victims are
aware Of its insidious growth they are in
ferers from throat and bronchial affections,
the clutches of the deadly consumption.
The excuse oftentimes given by suf-
why they do not obtain cure is that the
task to discover potent remedies and sue
cessfui treatment is hard one, and in the
large majority of cases results in despair
on the part of the sufferer. Thus it is that
so many people, the rich as we'll as the
poor, suffer days and sometimes years of
intense annoyance and severe pain, and
from which they seem TO have become
convinced that there is no relief.
This is a mistake, however, and one that
is readily proven so by the hundreds of
sufferers from these ailments that have
been given prompt relief and permanently
cured by Abbo's eficacious treatment
During the cold and dlsagreeable weather
of the previous winter and even when the
reputation and skill of Abbo had gained
but little spread in this vicinity, the Alb
bo Institute was a haven of refuge for per-
sons affected with lung and bronchial dis
orders, and who had failed to secure even
a degree of relief after visits to some of
the most eminent physicians.
Numbers of such cases were received for
nearly every instance the patient left re-
Joicing at the effects of the treatment and
remedies and with determination to re-
turn to Abbo should they at any time be
afflicted with sickness and disease.

TIPPING AT DELMONICO,s.
A Good Waiter Receives on an Aver-
age From So to 81 Day.

From the New York Journal.
The imported habit of tipping has be-
come so general that it now is impossible
to dine even in the most humble manner
without some fee being expected Of one.
The tips given vary as widely as the rates
in New York restaurants. The etiquette
governing the practice and the proportion
between the size of the tip and the face
value of the check remain, however, rea-
lively the same. The best authorities on
the tipping habit say that Americans are
the most liberal people in this respect in
the world. and that this particular virtue
at least IS recognized and duly credited to
them throughout Europe. There is prob
ably no higher authority on this subject
than Frank Lalong, at present head waiter
in Delmonico's downtown house. When
asked for his opinion on this question he
said:
"A good waiter at Delmonico's receives
on an average from 50 to 81 day in tips
And 1 believe that there are few men who
have to work harder for their income
Tips, even among our most wealthy pa
irons, are not what they once were. Iney
seldom exceed from 10 to Is per cent. OF tne
amount of the check. The average UP
Is cents.
Occasionally waiter is fed much more
literally, but unless the gentleman Is uh,

dinner, the tip rarely exceeds quartz.

RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1896.
The Railway Ages Figures for the
Year just Ending.


New railroad enterprises were the chief
suiferers by the continuance of the finan-
cial depression during the year just end
lng' says the Railway Age. EARLY in the
year. says the Age, when the return of
prosperity seemed near at hand, railway
projecting and railway building began to
Increase, and If enterprises which were
undertaken had not been checked by the
financial uncertainty attending the presi-
Dental campaign, at least $500 miles of
new track would probably have been add
ed to the mileage of the country. AS If
was there were built only about 800 miles
of road, and when we recall the conditions
OF distrust and fear that overshadowed

found willing to advance in such times the

several cases work in progress was ston-
