Schley can have whatever aid he wants
and it is only a question of hours when
the Spanish navy will lay down its arms
before the mighty power of the western

of the Spanish navy allowed Cervera to
be caught in this manner cannot be ans

who maintained wholesome respect
for this opponent.

Shot His Son-in-Law.

MANCHESTER, y. H., May 25.--A
special to the Union says that Benjamin
G.. Young, one of the most respectable
citizens of SteWertstOwn, shot his SON.
in-law, Ira \. Reed, late Monday night.
Reed died from the effects Of the wound
yesterday. Reed had an ungovcrnable
temper and was considered very dam
gerous. He frequently beat his
wife and four-ycar-old son. He took
them to a chopping-block and threaten
ed to cut their heads off. His wife left
him Sunday and Reed declared he
would come to to the house and Kill the
whole family. Young was afraid and
watched all night. When Reed came
he raised his rifle and shot at Young,
but the latter was too quick for him and
shot him in the hip. Reed died.

News of the Oregon.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Secretary
Long has received an official despatch
announcing the arrival of the Oregon
in Jupiter Inlet, Florida. The fact was
reported to the president Immediately.
At 10 o'clock this morning Secretary
Long said that he had received no Off
cial news of the bottling up of Cervera
in Santiago harbor by Schley. All he
had heard was the press reports, still
he said that he had re lson to credit these
reports. The latest press accounts say
that Cervera with his whole squadron
is inside the narrow passage which leads
to Santiago and that Schley is outside
the gate, not making any preparations
to rap and entcs, but waiting for Ger
vera to come out and greet him, while
the Spaniartl on the inside is waiting to
see what his visitor will do, following
out tine old fable of the spider and the
fly, except that the fly is not one Of the
ordinary kind. If the report Of the sit
uaton is true in every particular Ger
vera is sure to surrender or the whole
fleet of which he is in command will be
annhilated.

Who Will Speak
IN BARRE
Memorial Day ?
COL. CHILDS ILL.

II is,with much regret that we have
to announce today that Col. George 7.
Childs whom the r. b. Crandall Post No.
56, &. A. II. were so fortunate as to Sc
cure for a Memorial Day speaker will
be unable to be in attendance on account
of Il sudden and serious illness. Col.
Childs is a popular speaker and one of
the best known men in the state. The
people of Barre were congratulating
themselves that he was to deliver the
address, and now there is double cause
for regret, in the solicitude for his health
and the disappointment caused by the
news that he cannot be present.
In response to a letter written to COL
Childs on Monday the EVENING TELE-
GRAM received the following reply -
EDITOR EVENING TELEGRAM.
Dear Sr.-Your letter of May 23rd
to my father, Col. George 7. Childs,
received yesterday. In reply | have to
say that he has been confined to his
room and bed since Friday and is now
prohibited from the transaction of any
business. Although improving his at
tendant physician absolutely forbids any
mental and physical exertion for some
days to come. He has therefore been
obliged to advise the committee of ar
engagements of Crandall Post, No. 5G,
of the impossibiity of fulfilling his en-
gagement with them. He begs me to
express his sincere regret that the sit
lation should be such and to assure you
that nothing but question involving
his health would have prevented him
from being in attendance in Barre on
the 30'h. Thanking you on his behalf
for your courtesy, remain,
Yours respectfully.
HAROLD ID. ClIIIDS.
Just before going to press Rev. j..
Edward Wright has accepted an invita-
tion to deliver the address.

A SUGGESTION.
WHAT TIE POSTMASTER SAYS ABOUT
GETTING MORE CARRIERS.

WHAT THE POSTMASTER SAYS ABOUT
GETTING MORE CARRIERS.
When the people of Barre read the
new letter carrier schedule which has
been handed to the postmaster TO carry
out, there will probably be a good deal
of fault-1inding.
Some of those who have been rcceiv-
ing their mail twice a day will in the
future only receive it once day and
some will be compelled to call at the
office to get it. II will be a great in
convenience to some, while with others
who live near the center it will make no
material difference. Postmaster Nc
Whorter has done all in his power to
get better service for the people of Barre
for some time, and he has failed, but the
fault does not lay with him. If it was
under his jurisdiction there would be
no question but that this city would
have as good a carrier service as amy
city in the State.
An EVENING TELEGRAM reporter had
a little conversation with the post
master yesterday afternoon and he had
a suggestion to make to the people OF
Barre which ought to be appreciated.
He said that there was no question that
Barre is in need of better carrier service.
If the residents of Barre would circn-
late petition for the same and get a
large number of signatures and forward
it to Congressman Grout, he would use
his influence ard Barre would have a
first class mail service by the 1st OF
July. The term of the Congressman
runs out in a short time and he would
be none too glad to get on the right side
of the people of Barre and will do all in
his power to help them. Who is the
first to start this movement?

WAsInNGvoN, May 25.-One hun
dred and twelve thousand men have
now been mustered into the United
States service. a majority are ready to
move to the front 1wo-thirds of the
States have already completed their
muster. The failure of some southern
states to furnish the men called for is
surprising to army officers, 1t is not
regarded as a lack of patriotism. but on
account of home ties many members ex-
pect men unhampcrel by such ties to
enlist first.

Gc,9, to Prepare Them When NO iiot
water Is at Hand.
lamentations Of hot or cold water are
often very useful, and every one should
know how to give them, a flannel cloth
may be folded. Wrung o1t of hot or cold
water as is desired and applied directly
to tho skin. 1t is much better after
wringing out the flannel as dry as de-
sired to fold it in dry flannel cloth of
one or two thickncsses lcfCre applying
1T to the patient. \ little time is re-
ouircd for the heat Of the fermentation
to penetrate the dry flannel, and thus
the skin is allowed an opportunity to
acquire tolerance for the heat, and
higher degree of temperature can be
borne if the moist cloth is brought dl-
rectly into contact with the surface.
The outer fold of dry flannel will also
serve to keep the cloth warm by pre-
venting evaporation.
A hot fermentation is sometimes need
ed when no hot water is at hand 1t is
not necessary to wait for water to be
heated in the usual way. Soak tie ilan-
rel in cold water, wiring as dry as de-
sired, fold in a newspaper and lay upon
the stove or wrap it about the stove
pipe. In few minutes 1t will be as
warm as the patient can bear. The pa
per keeps the pipe from becoming
moistened by the wet flannel and at
the same time prevents the flannel from
being soiled by contact with the pipe.
Fomentations thoroughly applied will
relieve most of the local pains for which
liniments, lotions and puultices are gen.
orally applied and are greatly to be pre-
ferred to these remedies since theN are
cleaner and aid nature more ctTectually
in restoring the injured parts to sound
condition.
The fermentation may be changed fire.

massage may be given either by the per
son himself or another, so as to
strengthen the part and promote a bet
