EIGHTEEN KNOTS AN HOUR
Uncle Sans Ships Car Move, Even When
Not on. Exhibition.

NV Oo I1utostiOos
Washington, March 13.-In view of the
assertions made in congressional debates
and elsewhere that the trial trips OF our
naval vessels were made under such ar
tificial conditions favorable to the ships
that their records could never be repeat
ed without Special preparations he
navy department officials are feeling
much comforted by the reports coming
in from some of the captains of cruisers
who have been putting their ships
through their PAGES just 10 learn how
much they deteriorated. The San Fran
cisco had jus. come out of dock in the
Mediterranean when Admiral Selfridge
ordered her 10 make run for few
hours. The vessel rushed away at eigh-
teen knots an hour and kept this up for
ten hours without stop, making a rec
ord of high efficiency for ship of her
class. There was no fault to be found
with the machinery and while the speed
average was not as high as knot and
half as that made on the trial trip OF
the San Francisco, il is the general be-
lief that the ten-knot record under ser
vice conditions is far better than the rec
ord made on the trial which lasted four
hours. Captain Sehley OF the crack cru
User New York started away from Hamp
ton Roads for New York the other day
and giving the signal TO let out the ship,
she steamed along for hours at eighteen
knots and that without resorting to
forced draught, which is used on speed
trials. In each case the runs were made
without any addition 10 the fire rooms
crews, or unusual preparations, in fact.
regular service conditions prevailed and
the ships have been several years at sea.

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
baffied the doctors, for notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches Of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto n. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 22d Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date of April 5th, 1896, writes:
Several years ago was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment of the
best physicians continuously for four
years. As soon as discovered that had

under the care of one of the foremost
doctors in my State, and took his
treatment faithfully for several months.

nounced me well, that the disease broke
out afresh, and I was in far worse con-
