| Several or the Things Which Philip IN.
Forgot.
In the lrmada the crusading enthu-
siasm had reached its point and focus,
says Froude in I.ongman's Magazine.
England was the stake to which the
virgin, the dauGhtcr of Sion, was bound
in captivity. Perseus had come at last
in the person of the duke of Medina
Sidonia. and with him all that was best
and brightest in the countrymen of
Cervantcs, to brcal her bonds and rc-
place her on her throne. They had
sailed into the channel in pious hope,
with the blessed banner waving over
their heads.

Providence is q lofty ambition, but men
in a state of high emotion overlook the
precautions which are not to be dis
penscd with, even on the sublimcst of
errands. Don Quixote, when he set out
to redress the wrongs of humanity, for
got that a change of linen might be
necessary and that he must take money
with him to pay his hotel bills. Philip
H., in sending the Armada to England,
and confident in supernatural protec-
ton, imagined an unresisted, triumphal
procession.
He forgot that contractors might be
raseals, that water four months in the
casks in a hot climate turned putrid
and that putrid water would poison his
ships companies, though his crews
were companies of angels He forgot
that the servants of the evil one might
fight for their mistress after all and
that he must send adequate supplies Of
powder, and, worst forgetfulness Of all.
that great naval expedition required
a leader who understood his business.
Perseus, in the shape of the duke Of
Medina Sidonia, after q week of dir
astrous battles, found himself at the
end of it in an exposed roadstead, where
he ought never to have been, nine
tenths of his provisions thrown over
board as unfit for food, his Ammunition
exhausted by the unforeseen demands
upon it, the seameD and soldiers har-
assed and dispirited, officers the whole
week without sleep, and the enemy.

Banker Hammond, of Chicago, Commit
ted Suicide by Drowning.
CHICAGO, Jan. Wv. A. Hammond,
vice-president of the National Bank of
Illinois, committed suicide during the
night by jumping into Lake Michigan.
Hammond called on Percy Palmer,
an old friend, and confidential adviser,
at 8 o'clock last evening. He talked
gloomily about future prospects. About
II o'clock Hammond went home, and
at 11:30 retired for the night. He and
his wife slept in adjacent rooms.
Early this morning Mrs. Hammond
discovered her husband gone, and
notified friends, who found trail of
scraps of paper which led to the edge
of the pier at Dempster street. The
rain has soaked the scraps of paper
and made the contents almost illegible.
The lifesaving crew was notified,
and began a search for the body. A
tug was also sent from Chicago for the
same purpose.
Sixteen-year-old w. E. Rodney,
with companion, was walking along
the beach in the vicinity of Church
street, when they sighted the body
floating only few feet from the shore.
An ambulance was called and the body
was removed to an undertaking es-
tablishment, where it was soon identi-
fed by friends.
