booker, of the Cromwell line, running
between New Orleans and New York,
wax in great storms, and the captain
and crew saw the schooner Mary D..
Cranmer, Of Philadelphia, In distress.
The weather cold, the waves mountain
high, the first officer OF the steam
ship and four men put out in a life
boat to save the crew of the schooner,
and reached the vessel and lowed 1t
out of danger, the wind shifting SO that
the schooner was saved. But the five
men of the steamship 4oming back,
their boat capsized, yet fighted again
and came on, the sailors, coated with
ice. The boat capsized again, and three
times upset and was righted, and a
line thrown the poor fellows, but their
hands were frozen so they could not
grasp it. and a great wave rolled over
them, and they went down, never to
rise again till the sea gives up its
dead. Appreciate that heroism and
self-sacrifce of the brave fellows all
who can, and can we not appreciate
the Christ who put out into a more

peril into everlasting safety? The

fury rolled over him on,the other side

Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only n way to cure Deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an nflamed condition of the

When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its

Mrs. rlckinIeY,s Gowns.

Mrs. Mckinley has received from Chi
cago ten magnificent gowns which VIII
go with her to Washington They are
OF satin, velvet and silver cloth, with
pearls, priceless lace, blazing diamond
stars, etc.
The cost of the costumes will be be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 and will be as
fine as any ever displayed in Washington
society.
The gown to be worn at the Inaugural
ton is especially handsome. The mate
rial is what is known as cloth of silver.
The ground work is of white satin,
heavily woven with silver thread in a
conventionalized design. The train,
which is plain, full and sweeping, is pa
yards long. On the left side it is open
over panel of seed pearls, embroidered
on satin
Beginning at the bottom is hounce OF
Venetian point lace of a special and
beautiful design a half-yard in width,
which is cascaded narrow at the bottom
and gradually widens toward the top,
until it is extended its full width over the
top and out to the back, where it is
partly concealed under the full train.
The right side Of the skirt is also slashed
open half way up, and under that is an
embroidered petticoat of pearls. The
bodice is tight fitting and slightly pointed
front and back. The lower part is of
silver cloth, and the upper and back Of
pearls.
The same beautiful lace that is used in
the flounce is fastened at the waist line
into narrow point, and draped wider
toward the shoulders in Y shape.
The collar is of pearl embroidered satin,
and from it is high Medici collar of the
lace.
The sleeves are long and fairly tight,
and are finished at the wrist with Van
dyke effect, embroidered at heedge, from
which falls narrow lace OF the same de-
sign as that on the skirt.
With this gown Mrs. Mckinley wears
a number OF diamonds to fasten the lace
on the front of hergown, the handsomest
being a diamond star and sunburst of
unusual brilliancy.
The lining OF this beautiful gown is of
white satin, heavy and rich. Around the
bottom and side are hall dozen rufiles
to give a full effect.
The lace which is used was made es-
pecially for the establishment where the
gown was designed. tits almost priceless
in value, the whole pattern being pur-
chased by Mrs. Mckinley.

Spain Cannot Conquer Cuba.

England has been making a quiet
investigation of affairs in Cuba,
being desirous to know the true stu
alton. The government recently sent
orders to Mr.. Costing, the vice consul
OF Great Britain in Cuba, to make a
trip OF investigation throughout the
island. The trip was made and the
report sent back to England was
not favorable to Spain.
The English diplomatic agent con-
siders that the Spanish government
misrules Cuba to an incredible
extent, and that the immoralties OF
the Spanish administration are be-
yond description.
With regard to the war, Mr..
Costing believes that as it is being
carried on now it may last many
years. The insurgents, he says, can
not be conquered by the Spanish
army.
Though the Cuban soldiers are not
trained veterans, and deficiencies in
discipline may be observed in then
ranks, their leaders are as rule
wonderful strategists, far superior
to the best Spanish generals.

Mr.. Costing, is a military genius

Civil Service Reform.

President Cleveland will retire from
Office with practically the entire civil
service OF the United States, with the
exception of 10000 village postmas-
tiers, subject to the merit system and
competitive examination is now
necessary for admission to it.
On March 4, 1898, President Cleve-
land found about 43, 900 places class
fled; on Dec. /, 1896, the places in
the classified service numbered 49,
021. OF this addition of $4,000
made in three yea RS and nine months,
10000 were due to executive order,
and 5000 to automatic growth.
Under the revisons Of the rules made
on Nav 6 and Nov. 2 OF last year,
81, 60 places were added to the
classified service, Taking account OF
the II ,74S places added to the ser
vice during Mr.. Cleveland's first
term, his two terms count for the
placing of 56,841 places under the
direct operation of the merit system.
These amount to GO per cent of the
entire classified service. In the civil
branch Of the government, there are
some ITS, TT places, SO that deduct
ing the S8,021 already classified, and
the &c, 725 fourth-class postmaster
ships which cannot be effectively
classified without the aid OF con
gress, there remain 1871 still out
side of the classified service. OF
these, $50 are excluded from cassi.
hcation for reasons deemed best for
the service, 1915 are appointed by
the president and confirmed by the
senate, and 1854 are of the grade of
laborers and workmen. There re.
main, therefore, still classi6abe,
only 1882 places, outside Of the
fourth.class postmasters whose rele-
cation to the grade of clerks and
superintendent in the classified ser
vice has been, SO far, blocked by the
refusal of congress to invest the post
master-general with the discretion OF
transferring salaries from one ac-
count to another.

A Costly Fancy Dress Ball.

The Bradley-Martin fancy dress ball at
the Hotel Waldorf in New York last
week Wednesday night was scene Of
bewilderng enchantment, veritable
fairy land, respondent with all that
wealth and taste could command, and
graced by the presence of 700 members
of the fashionable set, radiant in rich
robes OF historic renown. The richness
OF the decorations, the ancient, pictur-
esque costumes, the beautiful allegorical
toilettes, the commnging of so many
beauties old and young, charmed all
fortunate enough to have been hidden to
