in a few minutes.
Another example: Miss Helen Gould,
who is one of the Florence Nightin-
gales of this war, gave Mrs. Hardin
Walworth $25, 900 the other day to be
used at her discretion, and Mrs. Wal

more than a diet kitchen. She started
the wheels in motion, sent to New
York for trained cooks and materials,
and they were on the grounds three
days before she could get permit to

In the hospital, although carloads of
cots were at the railway station wait
ing to be unloaded. 1t was explained
by the hospital authorities that the
cots could not be secured because
means of transportation were lacking,
and yet there were thirty or forty
empty wagons in sight, waiting in line
to be loaded.with wood for the regimen
tai kitchen. Many of the men were
without blankets, and the same ex-
PLANTATION was offered. General Alger
tore off several yards of red tape, con-
fiscated the necessary wagons, and had
those cots and blankets brought in, aud
he remained on the spot until they ar
rived, too.
One of the first and most Imperative
duties of congress should be to put the
army on a new, modern and intelligent
basis, to clean ont the cobwebs and

accumulated In many years of peace.

suffering during the recent war can be
traced directly to the army regulations
of past generation which prevented

Had General Alger been able to per-

5hods suggested by which to deal o!
exact justice to all involved while
giving suitable recognition to those
who are especially distinguished for
auy reason. So far as medals issued
for bravery, or in commemoration OF
battles, are concerned, the proposal of
Admiral Schley is by far the best. He
says that the medals issued for these
purposes should be of.the same metal in
all cases-th at the medal issued to priv
ate di stinguished for bravery In bat
tie should be exactly the same as that
issued to a general officer, and when all
were equally exposed, that all should
be equally rewarded. This is truly
idea. and will commend It
self to every one.
But in certain cases, as, for instance,
in those of the officers engaged in the
naval battles of Manila and of San
tisgo, IL seems to be advisable to re-
ward "meritorious services" that ex-
tend beyond the definition of bravery
in battle" Commander Francis w.
Dickens recently addressed letter to
the chief Of the bureau of navigation,
in which he made q suggestion that
seems to contain more merit than any
yet put forth. In substance, it Is bas-
ed on the orders of merit in use in the
nations of Europe, with some changes
and additions. Commander Dickens's
idea was adopted substantially by Sec
rotary Long, who in letter written
from bingham, Mass, to Judge Advo-
cate Lemly of the navy authorized the
latter to draft bill, to be presented to
congress at the coming session, which
is designed to obviste the injustice SO
manifest in the system of promotions
in the navy now in force. Cd
The secretary is OF the opinion that
the system of numbers, by which,
when one officer is advanced in rank,
other officers in the same grade
are reduced. should be entirely
abolished. He then goes on to out
line a plan which, briefly stated,
provides for the formation of an
honorary order, of which naval officers
become members after having per-
formed meritorious service in battle
In this order are to exist three badges
one of iron, q second of silver, and q
third OF gold, the character of the
badge to be conferred to be determin
ed by the value OF the services render
ed by the officer. 10 addition to this
officers upon whom badges are con-
ferred are to have an increase Of from
five per cent to ten per cent in their
pay, and their names are especially tG
be marked in the naval list.
This plan seems on superficial con
sideraUion to answer the demand fol-
just and generous treatment of every
member OF the service. There is little
doubt that some such regulations will
be adopted by congress in the near flu
ture, and it may not be too much tC
hope that there may be such a read
justment in the naval list as it stand:
at present as to place the officers more
nearly in the relative rank they de.
serve.

PROMOTIONS IN THE NAVY.

THE question Of the character of the
honors that should be bestowed upon
officers Of the navy who especially dis
tinguish themselves in battle has often
come mp in the history of our country,
but IL seems as IL the discussion it has
aroused during aud after the war with
Spain has been more general than any
that has preceded 1t. And also, it is
likely to produce actual results this
time. Reference has been made in
this column before to the manifest in
equity attendant upon the system now
In vogue, by which officers are advsn-
ced In grade, or number" while en-
ORDERS" or in resolutions of con-
gress.
IL all the promotions that have been
made had been held back until the end
of the war so that the advances could
have been properly proportioned, it
may be that the net result would have
been more satisfactory TO all concern
ed. But in response to the popular
clamor for some suitable recognition
of the services of the prominent Of
fcers while their work was yet fresh
in the memory of the people the pres
sident made q number of advances in
the grade Of the particularly success
full ones. The result, while temporari-
ly pleasing to the country and doubt
less to the officers themselves, has
been in fact TO work great injustice
to largo number OF distinguished aud
deserving officers. This has been done
by advancing officers by "number''
over the heads OF other officers who
may have richly deserved their position
OF precedenoe.
In the Chicago Record William f.
Curtis gives good idea of the real
state of affairs at the close of the war.
He says:
The net result is that Commodore
Philip was advanced five numbers and
pushed back three, Captain Clark of
the Oregon was advanced five and set
back four, while the net result to Cook,
Chadwick, Taylor, Evans, Wilde, Dyer,
Lamberton aud other captains was
about the same. Their new commits
sions are OF course, very compliment
tary aud highly priced, because 1t is
written on the sheepskiu that they are
advanced five numbers for extraordi-
nary heroism, but the statement is ac-
tually untrue and carries with it no in
crease OF pay or emoluments.
II would be very much better IL our
government should adopt the reward
system that prevails in the European
navies, and when an officer has distin-
guished himself give him some taugi-
BILE recognition. The usual custom is
to confer u decoration which carries
with it an annuity for life from $3.50 to
81, 900 q year. This would be appre-
ciated by our naval officers, because
the most of them are men of small
means and dependent almost entirely
upon their pay; or congress might pass
an act authorizing them 10 draw full
pay after retirement, which would be q
blessing in their old age.
Naval authorities who have been fig
uring up the pecunisry advantages oil
the promotions thus far made find that
Admiral Dewey will be just $3.50 better
of. Sampson and Schley will receive
about 81, 500 more from the psymsster
during the rest of their lives and Cap
tain Wilde of Dewey's squadron hs:
improved his financial status by exact
ly S34.

TOCURENERVoUs DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep We'll, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make Test of stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are noteured by nerve medicine and spring reme- dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the or gan to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as i'll nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are eonstipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appe- tite, with accumulntioE nf gas. sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. w. Sharper of No. 6l Pros peet St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure grat- itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. 1 have been a sufferer from ner- vous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent med icines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary hab- it's, being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for 1 have gained in flesh, sleep better and am betteTflr' every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on ac- tual fact" Respectfully yours,
 A. W. Sharper, 6t Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.
 It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease. except cancer of stomach. They cure stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleepiess- ness, palpitation. heartburn, consti- patton and headache.

IS IT LEGAL?
A Wedding Performed on Steam
 boat in the Ohio River.
(owensboro (KyJ Tnquirer.)

(Owensboro (Ky,) Inquirerl
 A couple of weeks ago Mr. James Martin, Q well-known young man from Fordsville, came here with Miss Dayella Hatcher to get married. They did not succeed, and in. eompa- ny with Miss Hatcher's brother-in- law, Rev. G. Reynolds, of Fords- vile, went to Rockport. Here the license was procured and the we'd ding took place on the Rose Hite while on its way down the river.
 The question has been raised in the last day or two as to whether they are legally married or not. The license was procured in Indiana, and the ceremony was performed in this State, under the law governing the river. Even if it had occurred in Indiana, the Kentucky preacher was not authorized to solemnize it. So it is that the young people are not married at all, and some of their friends have advised them to have the knot tied over so as to guard against any possible complications that may arise.
