SUNKEN CITY ROMANCE.
Port Royal which slumbers Beneath
the Blue Caribbean
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
There Is little of poetry in war. The gen.
tie muses. wing their flight before the deaf
enlng roar of cannon and the rattle of
musketry. The newspaper correspondents
in Southern waters are too busy with the
stern realities which confront them to pay
much heed to beauties which under other
circumstances might inspire them to
dainty bits Of descriptive writing.
10 Illustrate my point I shall quote from
a dispatch dated from Kingston, Jamaica
which reached New York last week. For
two days writes this correspondent. "our
dispatch boat has been lying here in the
beautiful harbor of Kingston Under the
clear blue water a few fathoms beneath
her keel, sleeps the sunken city of Port
Royal. Not a stones throw from our boat
a red buoy swings and rocks in the moon
light. 1t marks the spot where the old
city's cathedral sank and where the spire
stil reaches up nearly to the surface"
That was all. That was the only refer

of interest, and she is never so much at
ease as there.
To judge from the number of this peo-
pie and the size of our army, says Clara
Belle in her New York letter in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, there should not be
many women about who are compelled
to get on without mans assistance, but
among the swells there seems a much
greater lack of men than is usual. I have
had this repeatedly impressed upon me
this week. There was Teddie NJ who
came up from Tuxedo to find out why in
cook stove his tailor hadn't sent down
that extra pair of golf trousers. That
was his only reason for being in town
and he hadn't an idea of seeing any one
he knew He had tried to catch the a
m. train back, had missed 1t and was com
ing out of the depot in no pleasant frame
of mind when down the steps after him
a whirlwind of silken petticoats and sobs.

she, do come and help u.s. We are try
ing to get off for the country and papa
and brother Bob are both at Tampa and
the hateful things won't let us have our
trunks. Mamma is having Mysteries and
the maid doesn't speak a word of Eng
lish."
what on earth have your father and
Bob got your trunks for?" gasped Ted
die, skipping preliminaries as Tottie had.
"Oh, they haven't; it's those horrid bag
gagemen. I told them just which ones
they were" Teddie allowed himself to
be dragged in. The official was determ-
ined. I'VE can't give up the baggage
without the eXpressman's receipt" was
his ultimatum. How perfectly ridicu-
lous' walled Mrs. Van, coming out of
her mysteries long enough to speak, ct

Herewith she collapsed on the largest of
the seven disputed boxes. Teddie was
taking out his money. Don't pay him a

Teddie. Marie has charge of it, and

commanded Teddie, also emitting the
same sort of consideration.
Tottie screeched, but dragged Marie
away. Meanwhile Mrs. Van, unsupported.
had Mysteries on the floor Teddie gave
the baggage man 81 to timber him up a

An Accidental Success.

From Munsey's Magazine.
Once upon a time, so runs the story,
there was a man in London who had
ventured upon various publishing schemes
with but poor success, and was beginning
to despair of ever making fortune when,
by chance, he bethought himself of a huge
scrapbook which his wife had compiled of
various literary odds and ends that had
unclaimed her fancy She called her scrap
book "Tit-Bits' and it occurred to her
husband that such odds and ends, publish
ed in periodical form, might interest 9TH
er people as well as his wife. The result
of this meditation on his part was the APP
pearance of a little penny paper called
"Tit-Bits," which proved so popular al Il
gained such wide circulation that tJs
proprietor felt encouraged to place other
literary ventures on the market, and IL
was not long before he became known as
the publisher of a number of extremely
popular penny periodicals. He is now u
millionaire many times over and a baro-
net, while his wife, whose scrapbook prov
ed the cornerstone of their prosperity
finds her reward in the title of Lazy
Newnes.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago l had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable So it went on
until last October, 1 felt something
terrible creeping over me, 1 knew not
what, but kept getting worse. 1 can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" Indeed, 1 thought I would lose nv
mind. No one knows what endured.
L continued this way until the last
of February, when 1 saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegeta.

well woman, and can say from my
heart, THANK God for such a medi-

women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen

Woman's Weapon

An odd little story is told about Nine
Jane Hading, the French actress, and her
eyes in a foreign paper. 1t says:
Her eyes are very remarkable; not only
OF the clearest and purest brown, like that
of mountain brooks, or the eyes of Gwen
dolin-which George Eliot described as re-
sembHng 'wave-washed onyx'-but yelled
with a thick fringe Of black and silky
lashes, most unusually and extraordinarily
long The story goes that Nine Hading
owes this marvellous length of eye to ar
tficial means used by her parents in her
childhood. 1t is said that it is a common
custom practced among the Turks who
hold long eyes in such exalted esteem as
to lengthen them by cutting the corners of
the eyes. This is done very early-at the
age of or 8 years-the outer corner be-
ing deftly slit with lancet about the
twelfth part of an inch. While the wound is
healing the lids are drawn outward every
day and when il is quite
curved the eye is still sub
mited to the drawing process every
day for a long time. with the eventual re-
suit that 1t becomes long and narrow. and
satisfies the taste of the unspeaka BILE
Turk The story about Nine. Hading
proceeds to declare that her father had
been in Turkey and had seen this practice
and determined 10 try it on his little girl
who was then a pretty baby of years
with bright brown eyes and a mop of yell
low curls. Whether the story is true or
not, one thing Is certain, and that is that

Paris, Sept. 3o-The American and

assert that unless one or the other side

American commissioners may have to

stration.

urged the Spanish commissioners to
