THE determined manner in which
the American soldiers walked over the
Spaniard's breastworks, tore down
their strong barbed-wire fences and
waded into double their number is
enough to open the eyes of the entire
world. Our men had all odds against
them, but never stopped for one mo-
ment to consider danger. Many of the
boys in blue fell, but they died nobly
and their memory will always be
cherished.

IT is all we'll enough to close the
postofic IS and banks on the Fourth OF
July and Christmas, but we fail to see
the prorriety of shutting up on the
other seventy-fve or one hundred
closing days now in vogue. Some lum-
ber-headed congressman will doubt
less recommend grounding and wash
days as appropriate closing times.
There would be just about as much
propriety in the latter as there is in
some now observed.

Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will DE the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly diuin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, andleaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

War Talk.

There is vast deal of talk in cir
culation about the Santiago campaign.
Now that the men who took part in it
are coming home in considerable num-
bers, stories lnnumerable are being
told, and comments of great vigor are
being exchanged. Everything that is
being said will presently find its way
into the newspapers for as soon as
peace is declared there will be no
further need of holding back anything
the communication of which will re-
lieve any truthful persons mind.
There will be an immense amount of
censure OF various representatives of
the government. 1t will not be pleas
ant, but it may be useful. 1t is for
the interest of the country that we
should all know In good time how the
war had been managed, how far poll
tical considerations have interfered
with good appointments and effective
work, how far maladministrat;on was
inevitable and due to a bad system
which the present administration in
herited, what was we'll done, and what
SO badly done or so outrageously ne
elected that some one should suffer
for it. The military end of the war
will make prodigious amount of
reading, considering how short a time
the was has lasted. The navy has
won glory enough to go around, but
the army hasn't. The army has won
glory of imperishable quality, but the
distribution of it is very unequal

THEY GAVE THE BALLS.

And tho People Danced to Pay tho Debts
of Louis XIV.
In 1712 Louis XIV favored the Opera,
then established in the first sale of the
Palais Royal (there have been two)
with special mansion for the better
accommodation Of its administration,
archives and rehearsals. This hotel is
situated in the Rue Nicaise. The build
ing was generally designated under the
name of "Magasia, whence the term
"Filles du Magasin" (not "de maga-
sin") subsequently not only to the fe-
male ohoristers and supers, but the fe-
male dancers themselves. 1t SO happen.
ed that the king forgot to pay his archi-
tects and workmen. In order to satisfy
them the Chevalier de Bouillon conoeiv-
ed the idea of giving balls in the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension Of 5000 francs. He was
paid, but the kings debtors were not,
for, although the letters patent were
granted somewhere about the beginning
of 1918, not single ball had been given
when the most magnificent of the Bour-
bon sovereigns descended to his grave.
One day, shortly after his death,
d'Argenson, the then lieutenant Of po-
lice, was talking to Louis nephew,
Philippe d'Orleans, the regent. "Mon-
seigneur," he said, "there are people
who go about yelling that his majesty
of blessed memory was a bankrupt and
a thief. I'll have them arrested and
have them flung into some deep under
ground dungeon. You don't know
what you are talking about" was the
answer. "Those people must be paid,
and then they'll cease to below" but
how, monseigneur?'' Lets give the
balls that were projected by Bouillon. 1"
So said, so done, and the people danced
to pay Louis XIV's debts, as, according
to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charles
IFS Golfers:
The kings most faithful subjects we
In q service are not dull.
We drink to show our loyalty
And make his Golfers full.

Chesterfield SuperficialIty.


Chesterfield's idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise of
solid requirement and genuine princi-
pie is always coupled with the assertion
of their entire inutility if unaccompa-
MED by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration OF their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity their value to the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned to his skill In using them
in social form.
In one of his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: "What an advan-
tage has a graceful speaker with gen.
teel motions, handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
Of them! II you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use to you. By manners mean engag-
ing, insinuating, shining manners. a
distinguished politeness, an almost ir-
resistible address. a superior graceful
ness in all you say and do" He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes 80 far as to declare that soldier
is brute, scholar, "A pedant and a
philosopher, cynio without good breed

TAMPA AS A PERMANENT POST.

Troops in Cuba to he AccIimatized There
Tampa, Aug. 23.-There is every indi-
cation that a permanent military post
will be established at Tampa, although
at present there are not one hundred
soldiers in the city. The site selected
for the post is Camp Rodgers, where
all the heavy artillery is encamped. 1t
Is a beautiful location, high and with
dry soil at all times. and the govern
ment has established a pumping sta
ton and laid pipes throughout the
camp. Two regiments of soldiers will
be kept here, it is thought, at all times,
getting them acclimated for service in
Cuba for garrison purposes.
The last of the artillery batteries left
Tampa yesterday, the last of the in
fantry, the Fifth United States, hav-
ing left on Saturday night for Santiago.
The Signal Corps detachment will send
up balloon this afternoon and photo
graphs will be taken of Tampa bay
for the use of the war department. A
few men are still here in the hospitals.
and the quartermaster's department
has at least 1000 horses and mules, and
500 large army wagons quartered here,
which will be kept until winter, when
they will in all probability be sent to
Cuba.
Cubans will leave by the hundreds
this week for Cuban ports, as several
sailing vessels are now taking on mer-
chandise and will also carry passen-
gers.

the conduct of the public business.
The Democratic party asks every
honest and conservative voter to close
ly scrutinize and most thoroughly
examine into the shortcomings, pecu-
lations and extravagances of the Re-
publican management Of the internal
affairs ofour tax-ridden commonwealth
before he casts his vote at the next
November election, so that he may
be enabled intelligently to vote upon
the live issues involved in this con-
test, and for better and more frugal
government of our domestic concerns.
Under the shield of the cry of sup
port to the federal administration the
Republican party seeks continuance
OF the same extravagant and corrupt
boss rule of our state government IN
the interest and for the benefit of
those who are in the ring. We only
ask every intelligent voter to exercise
his own sound judgment upon these
matters and to ascertain for himself
which party ticket will most likely
serve the best Interests of the whole
people, and to make up his own mind
in this particular as he would in any
ordinary business transaction and cast
his vote accordingly. Fho amongst
the voters of our commonwealth would
continue clerk in his employ after he
had betrayed his trust and proven him
self unfaithtul ?
1t will be my pleasure to enter more
in detail the presentation and discus
sion of matters of vital public concern
and demonstrate to the satisfaction of
the voters every charge which l shall
make of extravaganza and peculation
in the executive and Legislative de-
partments of our state government
under Republican rule. So far as /
am concerned this will be exclusively
campaign of principles and not one
of personalities. The record of the
Republican officials speaks for itself
and it only remains for me to call the
attention of the public to it.
By their fruit ye shall know them.
In my discussion Of public problems I
shall always remember the Biblical
injunctions "Thou shalt not steal
nor bear false witness against thy
neighbour" Honesty is the best
policy;" 'The truth is mighty and in
the end must prevail"

It consisted chiefly of old junks which
had not been in the water for more than
30 years. During this heightened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and
rain, the paint had peeled from their
sides, and, in some cases, the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.
