Times: "The maritime Power that

to the Northern Pacific"
The United States now has in the Pa

ma, Machias, Monterey, Olympia, Ore

stronger fleet than any other Power
has in those waters. 1t is supposed
that by 1903 Japan, if it is able to carry
out its present naval policy, will have
2OO,00 tons in it's navy, an effective
force of six or seven seagoing ships.
with twelve torpedo-boat destroyers
and seventy-six torpedo boats.
This will be a more powerful fleet as
regards armor and armament than the
United States has now in the Pacific
Ocean. or would care to have, except
in case of war. But the key Of the Pa
ciflc is Pearl Harbor, and there the
United States will moor it's fleet.
AS long ago as President Lincoln's
time William H. Seward wrote these
words, which may have become trite
through repetition, but are as true to-
day as when he wrote them: "The Pa
cific Ocean, it's shores its islands, and
the vast regions beyond, will become
the chief theatre of events in the
worlds great hereafter"

name that 1 scarcely hear at all now
among my society friends, it is that
one; Ut the time was when it was a

is in town, and has been here for
months. He is living in apartments in
one of the Nevarro buildings, and his
son, Harold Willard, recently returned
from a wedding trip abroad, has apart

"Such quarters would be far more

this talk about prejudice against Amer

absurd. Look at the great success made
by Miss Ella Russell when she was
here last winter. OF course an artist

same is true of composers. But the

IN PEARL ISLAND
ltS Importance as Strategic
Point and to Protect Our
Western Carrying Trade.

At the next meeting Of Congress the
Hawaiian Islands are sure to be an
nexed to the United States, and there
is no doubt that the nation which con-
trolls Pearl Harbor and Hawaii, and an
chors its fleet here, controls the COM
merce of the Pacific Ocean.
There have recently been written
many articles in the newspapers and
magazines attempting to prove that
the naval power Of Japan in the Pacific
ocean was greater than that of the
United States. All that is sheer non
sense; although it is true that the en-
TIRE navy of Japan in tonnage at the
present time amounts to 10000 tons.
AS Mr.. Cramp, the great shipbuilder,
recently pointed out, it is also true that
the tonnage of the United States ships
OF war in the Pacific Ocean at present
amounts only to 425S3 tons. But while
the calibre of the main batteries of the
SHIPS OF the entire Japanese navy
amounts to 449 inches. the calibre of
the United States ships now afioat in
racine waters-eXclusive of the three
OLD ships, the Alert, the Alliance and
the Adams-amounts to ia inches, and
the test of the effective force of fleet
is in the calibre of it's guns,-the
weight of metal it can throw.
JAPAN HAS FEW MODERN SHIPS.
Japan to-day has not a single battle
ship afioat. She is building some, to be
sure. and her naval programme is so
large that it will sap her finances Fif-

There's lot of virtue in a piece of

rattlers or black snakes hide on the

like poultice, and draws out all the

| How Is rattlesnake oil made? From
the leaves Of fat that lie each side

tion as the leaf tallow in a beef The
leaves are tried out exactly as tallow

to speak of,-certainly no unpleasant

II have learned all know about the
curing power of snakes from old folks
who used to take advantage of it when
the country was new. They knew n
good deal more about some things than
folks to-day like to give them credit
for. There Is one of their old remedies
that have never tried,-and of course
don't want to give it my endorsement
until 1 have seen the effects myself.
Blu. I'm going to try it as soon as I
can find a man who needs it and has
sense and nerve enough to take it,
There really isn't any reason why
any one should hesitate at this remedy,
and l believe it will infallibly cure con-
sumption; yet some squeamish persons
would object, for 1t is raw rattlesnake's s
heart. The first time can find any
one with consumption who will swal-
low a snakes heart whole, 1 shall kill
one of my rattlers, cut out the heart,
and give 1t to the patient. The heart
should be taken into the system before
it has stopped beating; and. as I have
said, 1 feel confident 1t will cure the
worst possible case of consumption"

It is declared by the ingenious gen.
tleman who calls himself "Rattlesnake
Pete,"-Mr. Peter 'Gruber of Rochester,
N. Y.,-that the cure for almost every
Ill which human flesh is heir to may
be found in the serpent, If man could
only learn how to apply it. Gruber has
himself made several wonderful cures
Of this sort, he claims, and he Is quite
willing every one should know all about
them.
"Goiter or swelled neck" said Pete
to the writer the other day, "is one of
the things that can be cured every
time. without fail by the application
of live snake to the enlarged part. I
have heard about this from my boy
hood, but I never had chance to try
1t until a few months ago. An old
German came into my place of busi-
ness one day. and 1 noticed he had a
very bad goiter. I told him l thought
I could cure it if he was willing to let
me try: At first he held off, but 1
managed to persuade him.
Il took live snake, snapped a small
rubber band about it's head so that it
couldn't open it's mouth, and wound the
creature round the mans neck. i held
1t there not more than five minutes
A few days after the man came in
again, and ! repeated the application.
<1is neck is to-day as we'll shaped as
anybody's; there Is not the slightest
trace of goiter left No, the snake was
not a rattler; had 1 taken no precau-
tions and had the snake bitten the
man, no harm would have been done.
But every one doesn't feel about snakes
as / do, and l am always ready to
humor the general prejudice against
reptiles. l wouldn't think Winding
rattlesnake about anybod, * but
my own. 1 may be foolha1, Ear as
am personally concerned, but I
wouldn't like to put any other person
in danger.

be a good thing to try the remedy

daughter had Ii goiter, but had never

Il think it was most generously re-
ceived both in Boston and in New
York, considering that 1 was obliged to
entrust two of the principal roles TO
foreign artists. The chief criticism Of
it was that it was not strong dramatic

lasts till midnight, and then to get up
at seven o'clock and go to work is too
much to expect of a man more than
once a week at most"
DO you think it possible that Mr.
Grau could carry out the idea with
which he is credited of making a second
Bayreuth of New York, and bringing
people from all parts Of the United
States to hear adequate productions of
all the Wagner operas here?"
Il see no reason why it should not
succeed" said Mr.. Danrosch.
