The VOLUNTEER STATE.
Tennessee's Provess In All Our Coun
try's Wars.

Tennessce's prOvvess In All Our COun-
try's Wars.
In the revolutionary war, in 1912, in
the Creek and Seminole wars and in the
conflict with Mexico, Tennessee earned
the reputation and sobriquet of the
volunteer state. In the revolution her
pioneers left their feeble and unpro-
tected settlements on the Holston, Wa
tauga and NolachuclSy to pour them
selves a torrent of death on the invaders
of the Carolinas. At the commence
ment of the war of 1912, before any
requisition from the government, $500
Tennesseans volunteered; and this
number was increased to nearly $4,000
before its close. Tennessee fought the
Creek war almost unaided, and fur
nished the heroes who won the bloody
field Of Chalmette before the gates of
New Orleans. 1t was Tennessee valor
and dash in the person of the gallant
Gaines that won the victory for the
American arms at Fort Erie. which
first checked the invasion, of the east.
In the Mexican war Tennessee's quota
was $500. and 10000 volunteers re-
sponded to the call. In fact, from the
revolution TO the great civil conflict
Tennessee took n leading part in every
war. When the war between the states
came Tennessee furnished 100000 men
10 the confederacy and $4,000 volunteers
to the union; 30 general officers TO the
confederacy and eight to the fcdera!ists.
To the southern navy she gave q Maury.
the pathfinder of the seas. and to the
northern Farragut. The claim that
Tennessee furnished more soldiers to
the civil war than any other state will
hardly be disputed. Four hundred and
eight battles and skirmishes were
fought within her limits. n record sur
passing that Of any other state except
Virginia; and Tennessee's soil holds
"the dreamless dust" Of more heroes
that died in the conflict between the
states than does the soil of any other
state. Now all is peace and fraternity.

The latest novelty in foreign railroad
ing is the hospital car, designed to serve
double purpose. In tho event of a serious
accident, these cars can be run to the place
of the disaster, where the injured may be
picked up and carried to the nearest large
city for treatment instead of being lett TO
pass long hours at some wayside station
while awaiting surgical attendance. 1t
also enables the railway companies at Ger
tain seasons or upon special occasions to
transport largo numbers of invalids to
health resorts or places of pilgrimage
The interior of the car is divided into
main compartment, corridor to one side
and two small rooms at the end. The
largest compartment is the hospital proper.
1t contains "a isolated beds. Each patient
lies in front of two little windows, which
may be closed or opened at will Each bed
is provided with little movable table,
and cord serves to hold all the various
small objects which the patient may re-
uuire. The corridors on tho outside lead
TO the linen closet and the doctors S apart

Various trap doors in the floor, wher
opened, disclose to view an ice chest, 9

GENERAL LEES REPORT.
Discrcdits Weyler's Statement That tn
Island Is Pacified.

Washington, May 12.-During the de-
bate in the senate on the Cuban resolu-
tion strong plea was made for its
reference to the committee on foreign
relations on the ground that the state
department is in possession Of recent
official information on the Cuban ques-
tion which it is considered should be
consulted before action is taken by the
senate.
This information consists in the main
of a report by Consul General Lee dated
the last of April, in which he deals with
the general situation and presents all
the facts at his command without max
ing any recommendations as to the pol
icy to be pursued by this government.
General Lee states that the insurgents
are not decreasing in numbers, but that
according to the most trustworthy in
formation at hand there are more OF
them now than when he went to the
island. He explains the apparent want
of organization by the statement that
it is against the Cuban policy to con-
duct the war after the accepted modern
idea on this point.
General Lee also dwells upon the
condition of affairs in the island. The
document is of a private nature, and
while it could not be presented to the
senate, it is believed it would be ac-
cessible to the committee.

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight OF
a face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks,
sunken eyes, and a saliow complexion
will defy his best intentions. Beauty
is more than skin deep. The skin is
merely the surface on which is written
in plain characters the condition of
the body. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is good for the complex
ion because it makes the whole body
healthy-because it clears and puri-
fies the blood, makes the digestion
strong and clears out impurities of all
kinds. By increasing the ability to as
simulate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of its own ingredients it enriches
the blood and so makes solid, healthy
flesh. 1t cures diseases of the lungs,
liver, stomach, bowels skin and scalp,
simply because all these diseases
spring from the same cause--a disor-
dered digestion and consequent impure
blood.
