Capt. Gen. Weyler as the Herod of
Havana, the murderer of women and

The Embezzle1hents Of 1896.

According to the remarkable compila-
tions prepared and published by the Chica
go Tribune the sums represented by the
embezzlements, defalcations, forgeries and
bank wrecking of the past year in the
United States amounted to 80, 1856, ,921, an
average of about s7ss, ,S26 per month. The
losses inflicted in this way upon the conf
dence of the public were not as great as
they were in 1895 and fall far below the
figures Of 1894, s25, ,234, 112, when these
forms Of rascality wrought most destruc
lively in the history of the country. The
nearest approach to the record Of 1894 was
that of 1884, when the public was victim.
lied to the extent Of S22, 1910 The fig
ures relating to the operations of embez
zlers, forgers, etc., vary of course greatly
from year to year, SO that 1t is difficult to
determine from a record of this character
whether the world is growing better or
worse. The record by states shows that
New York occupies first place, with New
Hampshire second and Pennsylvania a
close third. The losses are distributed as
follows: Stolen from banks, SO, 996, $40; by
city and county officials, 81, 1893, 975; by
agents, $1,045, 900; by forgeries, $341, 500;
from loan associations, $479, 5S7; miseel-
laneous stealings, $4,000, 900. --Philadel

Boies Penrose.

The Washington Post thus quotes a
Pennsylvania congressman: "Senator
Boies Penrose comes of good old Philadel.
phia stock he has the Philadelphia ac-
cent, too, and will make the galleries laugh
when he says 'Oi' in voting upon the af.
hrmative side of a question. He is fine,
handsome young fellow, athletic and over
6 feet tall, only s6 years old and unmar-
ried. He looks enough like Fred Dubois Of
Idaho to be his brother, only he is larger.
Penrose is said to play a strong hand at
whist and other card games much in vogue
and is sure to be popular. He is a little
eccentric in his dress and insists upon
wearing a broad brimmed, bell crowned
silk hat Of the vintage Of about 1862. He
also wears sack coat Of unusual length,
which is known in Pennsylvania as the
Penrose coat. He may lay these aside when
he comes to Washington, but he won't be
the same Boies Penrose without them.''

Daniel De Foes Niece.

The supposed destruction of Juan Fer
nandez island, famous as the home of Alex
ander Selkirk, whose fate suggested "Rob.
inson Crusoe, brings to mind the fact
that the niece Of Daniel De Foe lived at Cal
vert, Cecil county, where she married and
died. The name of De Foe niece was Eliza
beth Maxwell. She was 1S years of age
when she left her uncle's home, in London.
The cause for her departure is said to
have been on account of the attentions of a
young man of whom her mother and uncle
disapproved. The young lady is said to
have been determined girl, and, boarding
vessel, she agreed to be sold for term of
years to pay her passage to the new world.
She reached Philadelphia in the autumn of
171S and was sold with several others who
had been brought over on the vessel. Her
purchaser was Andrew Job of Brick Meet
ing House, now Calvert, Md
In 1926 Miss Elizabeth was married in
the old meeting house to Thomas Job, son
of the old Quaker who bought her. After
the wedding she wrote her uncle and in
formed him of her whereabouts and cir
cumstances. De Foe replied that her mother
was dead, but some property had been will
ed to her. The author expressed great de-
sire that his niece take good care of the
effects that had been left her, as they had
descended to the family from their Flemish
ancestors, who sought refuge under Queen
Elizabeth from the tyranny of Philip of
Spain.
Several pieces Of the furniture are still
in the keeping Of descendants in Cecil
county, among them two chairs owned by
Hannah Griffith, both coming from De
Foes study. One is in its original condi.
tion. 1t is heavy chair, with oaken seat
and carved legs and back. Daniel De Foe
Job, one Of Elizabeth Jobs grandsons de-
scribes his grandmother as little woman,
passionately fond of flowers and retaining
her activity of mind and body until the
end of her life, in 1889. She was SO years
old.
Another grandson, Andrew Job, the her.
NIT of Nottingham forest, died in the nine
ty-second year Of hisage. The sole descend.
ant bearing the Job name is Haines Job,
who resides near Calvert. Baltimore Sun.

tered at Cabin John creek. Here deep
ravine obstructed the way. The genius Of
man surmounted this obstruction, and the
result was a model Of engineering skill
A fine stone arch, 220 feet in width and
110 feet in height, spans the ravine and the
creek and has the distinction Of being the
largest single arch In the world. 1t Is built
of brown sandstone brought from the quar-
ries OF Seneca, about 10 miles above this
point, and is of solid masonry. Its con-
struction was begun in 1853, under the su-
pervision Of the war department, during
the official term Of Jefferson Davis, by its
architect and engineer, General NJ c.
Meigs.
In 1859, owing to pressure of work in
this department., the work Of construction
was transferred TO the interior department
Caleb b. Smith, secretary-and remain
ed there until 1857, about the time of Its
completion. During the process of build
ing the names Of Presidents Franklin
Pierce and Abraham Lincoln and of Secre-
taries of War Jefferson Davis and Edwin
NJ. Stanton were inscribed on one of the
large stones on the west end of the bridge.
After the secession of the south the name
Of Jefferson Davis was cut out, and only
blank space remains to tell of the obliter-
alton.
This celebrated bridge and the stream
that it spans derive their names from
solitary settler, who, tradition says, ap-
peared on this spot some time before the
war of the Revolution and built near the
banks of the beautiful Potomac a rude log
cabin. For number of years he occupied

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Remedy Winch Will Do It.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many people ito be nearly, if not quite, tncurable. No good reason can be given why they think so except that perhaps they have tried various remedies without much, if any, benefit. But the progre s in every branch of medicine has been such that among other things a lasting cure for indigestion in its chronic form as well as temporary, has been discoy- cred and is now plaosd before the public strictly on it's merits as permanent cure for all stomach troubles or difficu,- ties with the digestive organs.
 This new treatment is called Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets being put up in tablet form so as to be easily taken and also to preserve it's good qua.itl:s for an indefinite length of time.
 This remedy has produced surprising effects in the worst forms of indigestion, and in many cases where ordinary rsme- Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured.
 The splendid results from using this preparation are owing to the fact that it is prepared and intended for dyspepsia and stomach troubles only It is not cure-all like so many advertised reme- dies, claiming to cure everything under the sun, but 1t is claimed that 1t is certain cure for dyspepsia. and anyone suffering from any form of indigestion cannot fail to get permanent relief and cure from it's use.
 It is so prepared and the ingredients are of such a nature that when the tab lets are taken into the stomach they di- gie!st the food, no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or not. sustenance and strength to mind and body by reason of the food being proper ly digested and at the same time the much abused stomach is allowed to rest and recuparate.
 Notwithstanding the great benefits to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, the price is but soc for full sized package and all druggists sell them.
