THERE are, according to an eminent

How the Naval Maneuvers of Queens

How the Naval Maneuvers of Queens
Jubilee Come to an End.
The whole programme of naval
maneuvers on the occasion of the
queens jubilee came to ludicrous fas-
co owing to a misunderstanding of the
orders of the admiralty. The fleet was
divided into two parts, one command
ed by Admiral Fellows. He had in
struction to steam out of Blackhead
bay, to await declaration of war and
then to endeavor to return into the
bay without being intercepted by the
other division.
When still go miles from the rendez-
vous cruiser overlook Admiral Eel
lows and told him that war had been
declared; whereupon he turned about
and, meeting no enemy, entered the
bay and telegraphed to the admiralty:
1.-THE war is over" After several hours
silepce the admiralty sent him a curt
order to go to rendezvous 200 miles
west. This he did and turned about
again. AS he approached Blackhead
bay Sunday morning the enemy APP
peared and cleared for action.
The flagship Majestic opened fire, but
Admiral Fellows did not respond. On
the contrary he signaled that he had
already captured Ireland, that church
service was being held in the various
ships of his division and that he must
decline to fight The admiralty was
furious, and it will be long time be-
fore the last is heard of this fasco In
naval circles.

Republican newspapers which
assume that Fred White Is about tc
go about the country making an.
archistic speeches, of any kind, are
apt to be mistaken. The people are
liable to observe q great difference
between Fred White on the stump
and Fred White as seen through the
reflection of the average partisan
newspapers. The fact is White is a
man of great ability. He is one of
best informed men in the state. He
has magnificent private library and
he has has used it for thirty years at
hours when others usually slept. The
republicans need as candidate for
governor man of equal attachments.

PAPA GOBLET is ANGRY.
Denies His Daughter Will Marry
Duke of Manchester.
Says He Would Rather See Her in
Her Grave Than Contract Such
Marriage - Why He
Objects.

Adispatch to theNew York World from
London says: II would rather see my
daughter in her grave than contract
such q marriage" said Mr.. Ogden Goe-
let, referring to the report that Miss
Goelet was engaged, or about to be be-
trothed, to the duke Of Manchester.
The published announcement that an
engagement had been arranged was
denied the next day, but it still is the
subject of much gossip.
1t Is evident that although the an-
nouncement was semi-official, Mr.. Goe-
let did not know that it was to be made.
He denounced the intimation that the
marriage is to take placeinnomeasured
terms. He is very angry that such a re-
port is circulated by the newspapers,
and is especially angry that it was
understand. The duke has been very
wild, and has given great trouble to
his family and to the estate. The 9TH
er night he dined with Mrs. Langtry
and very gay party at the Savoy. His
financial affairs are in much disorder,
and only q few weeks ago he remarked
to some one that he would have to
marry an Aston or Vanderbilt, or
throw up the sponge.
On one point everyone is agreed
that Miss Goelet will do exactly as she
likes in the matter. At the same time
1t is difficult to imagine any young,
bright girl FILLING in love with this
young duke. He is below the medium in
stature and his white face is covered
with plmples. He has not even theknack
of being well-dressed, and is Familiarity
known in society as ''Kimon" because
Of his exalted rank. He goes to most OF
the aristocratic houses, but he is not
popular with the ladies. There are sew
eral other manageable dukes and
lords galore. Even if this duke were
engaged he could not marry until of age
without seriously complicating his al
ready complicated affairs. He will not
attain his majority until March.

McKinIey,s Admission.

1t may have been an oversight on
the presidents part, and then he may
have been actuated by a feeling of
jealousy toward the urbane Mr.. Din
gley, but whatever the cause, the
president has just given the tariff a
blow between the eyes. In CONVEX
sation the president remarked that
1.-The present boom in..wheat is due in
great measure to the large crops and
to high prices, caused by the failure
of crops in other countries"
The president is not in accord with
with his party organs on the import
ant matter of wheat prices. The pres
ident declares that the increased price
is due to the failure OF crops in other
countries, while the organs are rending
their neither garments and pulling
all the ink off their form rollers in an
endeavor to convince us that the in
creased price of wheat is due solely
to the Dingley bill. By declaring that
we are experiencing some benefits
that are not due directly to high
protective tariff the president has
played false to the whole fabric of re-
publicanism. For him to attribute
the increased price of wheat to any
thing but the Dingley tariff is a bit of
treason to the protective principle
that cannot be condoned. The presi-
dent should remember that every
thing good is the direct result of the
Dingley tariff. The moment that it
received the presidents signature the
wheat crops of Russia, India and
Argentina were attacked by chinch
bugs, weevils and drouth. While it
was being carried from the senate
chamber to the executive mansion
every head of American wheat swell
led to twice its former size. While
the Dingley bill was in process of
cultivation American wheat stood
still and waited for the salvation that
it knew was at hand. And now to
have the president snub the law
which brought about all these bene-
fetal things! AS the late Artemus
Ward remarked, sit IL tew mucb!"-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
.neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to ur1nate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rene
dy fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, Kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp Roots soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distress
sing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggists price fifty cents and one

the action of the railroad companies
