A Determined West Virginia Girl.

Miss Mary Kenna, daughter Of the
late Senator John E. Kenna Of West
Virginia, is the subject Of an interest
ing story. The young lady, who lives
in Charleston with her mother, is four
teen years old, and it is said she has
the pluck and determination for which
her i5af5s a2B8o noted. Mrs. Kenna
recently went to Wasnla22}SS9ni - 70 a:.+ ?@-
anime the statue of her late dls,ra
guished husband. Miss Mary desired
to accompany her mother to that city
but Mrs. Kenna thought it wise for
the daughter to remain at home and
see to the household. The bafied
daughter turned to her ingenuity.
She proceeded to write to the presi-
dent of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail
road, and asked him for round trip
pass to Washington. On Friday the
young girl was rewarded by receiving
the pass, and next day she arranged
for the care of the household during
her absence and took the train for
Washington. She telegraphed her
brother to meet her at the train, but
not to tell the mother, who was taken
by surprise by the daughter, proud of
her victory. The daughter wanted
to be present at the unwilling Of her
fathers statue, which will take place
in few days. Miss Mary is said to
resemble her father very much both
in appearance and determination.

The Ruined California Grape Crop.

The partial loss of the grape crop this
year, caused by the heavy rains is esti-
mated to exceed 100000. Farmers
and vineyards all ever the northern part
of the State have suffered. While this
is true, it is equallya fact that lost and
failing strength may be restored by the
persistent, systematic use Of the great
national tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. which renews and tones the activ-
~ of the stomach liver and the bowels,
counteracts Il tendency to rheumatism
and kidney complaint, and prevents ma
larial disorders. After eXhausting dis
eases have run their course, recovery is
greatly accelerated by the use of the Bit
tiers. which improves appetite and i'm
parts renewed vigor to the debilitated
physique.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause Of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. 1t
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
is often. by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided To find out correctly,
set your urine aside twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the eX-
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's

A BATTLESHTP WRECKED.
The Maine Blown TO Pieces in Havana
HarbOr and Many Lives Lost.

One of the greatest disasters ever
experienced by the United States Navy
occurred Tuesday night, when the
great battleship Maine was blown ur
by an explosion as she lay in the har-
Dor at Havana, Cuba. At quarter
before 10 o'clock terrific explosion
took place, shaking the whole city and
SCATTERING glass for miles around.
Thousands Of persons Aocked to the
harbor, where it was learned that the
Maine had been blown up. Most Of
the crew were asleep in their hunks,
and, being stunned and made uncon-
scious by the force Of the explosion,
were drowned as the ship slowly sank.
Many of the officers were ashore. and
so escaped. Captain Sigsbee, COM
mander Of the Maine, was unhurt. He
telegraphed yesterday that two officers
and 256 Of the crew were lost.
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII
and the other vessels in the harbor
went at once to the work of rescue,
and picked up a number of men who
had been blown from the ship into
the water. The explosion seems to
have occurred in the bow Of the yes
sci, the front part being blown out.
The ship filled and went down bow
foremost. Captain Sigsbee telegraphed
the authorities at Washington of the
disaster, and several vessels were at
once despatched from Key West for
Havana.
The cause of the explosion is not
definitely known, but it is believed to
have been an accident on board the
Maine herself Our government is
satisfied that no Spanish official had
anything to do with it. 1t may pos
sibly have been caused by the con-
spiracy of hot-headed persons who
hate the United States, but this is
improbable. 1t was undoubtedly an
accidental occurrence.
The Maine, which is regarded as a
total loss, cost 50, 100000. She was a
battleship of the second-class and re-
garded as one Of the best ships in the
new navy. She was built in 1888 at
the Brooklyn navy yard, and was 3lS
feet long, 81 feet breadth, ZIG feet
mean draught and 6,682 tons dis
placement. She carried four ten-inch
and six six-inch breech-loading guns
in her main battery and seven six
Founders and eight one-pound rapid
fire guns and four Gatlings in her Sec
ondary battery, and four Whitehead
torpedoes, She left Key West for
Havana on January "a, the decision
to send vessel to the Cuban capital
having been made on the same day.
The Maine arrived in Havana harbor
on January 25, and was saluted by the
forts and war vessels. Subsequently
there occurred interchanges of cour-
tesies between the officers Of the Maine
and the Havana authorities.

The West Virginia Agricultural
Experiment Station is about to un-

study of road making. The officers
in almost every county lack knowl-

roads and still the roads Of the State
are not much improved.
