That the spy sent by the United

Weyler himself, seems increditable.
Yet there 10 nothing more true. The

the facts. Crossing the frontier in .
first-class carriage, he was BY trifling
accident brought into conversation
with young Spanish nolbeman; pres
emily who should come along but the

ance led to his receiving many atten-

Madrid, and the General actually gave
up day to trip to the Escuriel. I'm

Government Anxious to Have n Private
Company do the Work.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.--Captain Ches-
ter's decision yesterday to abandon
the work of wrecking the Colon marks
the end of that undertaking of the
government. 1t is said at the Navy
Department that the captain was di-
rected to stop the work when, in his
discretion, it was no longer profitable.
Because the contract with the wreck
ing company has been terminated it
does not follow that all idea:has been
abandoned of saving some of the sunk
en- Spanish warships.
The Navy Department is ready to
engage with thoroughly responsible
wrccking concerns, providing the lat
ter absolve the government from pay
ment unless the ships are delivered
in nited States navy yard. Already
one of the greatest wreck1ng concerns
IN the world, a Swedish organization
has opened negotiations on the sub.
Ject. 1t is willing to undertake al
once the raising of the Reina Mer-
cedes, which lies in the channel ir
Santiago harbor, and it has indicated
disposition to undertake the wreck
ing of the Colon.

The War Loan.

It is evident, however, that the
object Notwithstanding the
bonds as widely as possible among
the people-was not so fully real
lied as It might have been. The na-
tion's debt could be most effectively
distributed among large number Of
the population by making provision
for depositing small sums from
time to time, so that the person
without accumulated means could
hope to acquire possession of a bond
through saving. The postal saw
ings system would best accomplish
the purpose in view of distributing
the nations debt widely among the
people. That system could have
been established for the expense in
volved in floating this loan, and
when once in operation it would be
self-sustaining. Had Congress
been wise enough to make provis.
ion for the postal savings system
early In the session, the war funds
which it was deemed necessary to
borrow could have been received
thru that institution, in which
case the loan would have been pop.
ular In q much fuller sense than II
has proved. Congress should pro
fit from the experience with this
loan and make provision at the
next session for the postal savings
system.-The Chicago Record.

INFANTA MARIA TERESA SUNK.

The Spanish Cruiser that Hobson Raised
Goes Down In ~ Storm.
The wreeking tug ]. G.. Merritt ar
rived at Charleston Friday night and
brought the news that the Spanish
cruiser lnfanta Maria was sunk
while off the Bahama Islands Tues
day afternoon during a severe storm
The Infanta Maria Teresa was sunk
during the famous naval engagement
between America and Spain off San
tago on July the Sd. Later lleuten-
and Hobson and wrecking crew
raised the cruiser, and after some
temporary repairs sailed for Nor
folk, Va under her own steam from
Guantan amo Saturday Oct. Goth, ac-
companied by the Vulcan and Mer-
ritt.
When the storm arose the Teresa
began to take water and the newly
rivited plugs in the cruisers hull be-
gan to give way.
Lieut.. Commander Harris was last
to leave the ship, and his eooluess
contributed much to the work of res.
cue of the men in the Spanish cruis.
er. lie had first tried every avail
able means of saving the ship. The
Teresa went down headferemost
where the water was over three hun.
dred fathoms deep, so there is nc
possibility of raising her again.
All the guns were taken from the
cruiser before she started north, and
these will be the only trophies of hel
unsuccessful contest with American
ships. A court of inquiry to deter
mine the responsibility for the Ter
esa's loss will be appointed by Sec
retary Long. This is largely per
functory procee ding, as naval offi
cials believe the vessels loss was uu
avoidable.

They Are Of All Sor's, From the Thin Gold

Necklaces of oil sorts are worn with
the low-cut gowns. The strings Of
c0lored glass beads have found many
admirers, and notice thst they are
being worn with day - well as evening
crowns. The little thin gold "baby
chains" with a locket or pendant are
taken out from among the keep
sakes or supplied BY the jewellers.

bracelets are again worn, and that

bracelets 1t their best are unbecoming

prettiest. The wearing Of black velvet
band held by = jeweled clasp and worn
half way between the elbow and
shoulder is fetching fasiOn and one
mnch followed. And another quaint
style is the narrow black velvet ribbon
about the neck, from which hangs q
torquoise-set or blue-enameled locket.
The black velvet makes the white neck
and arm look whittier.

the smokers unawares. 1t has even
reached the clubs which were sup
posed to be plentlfully supplied with

that the stock Of Havana cigars is al
most exhausted and that the import

with . death grip. The supply is TO
be apportioned 80 that j. may last ~

the sale of box lots are almost entirely
prohibited. One of the largest club.

from . single importing house in the

To Cure Catarrh

DO not depend upon snuffs. inha-
!ants or local applications. Catarrh
is constitutional disease, and can
be successfully treated only by
means of a constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which thor
oughly purifies the blood and re-
moves the scrofulous taints which
causes catarrh. The great number
OF testimonials from those who have
Seen cured of catarrh by Hoods
oarsaparilla prove the unequalled
power OF this medicine to conquer
tnls disease. If troubled with ca
.arrh give Hoods Ssrsaparilla q fair
trial at once.

" Dnmsgsd.
AsHTNCToH, Nov. An tx-
pIosion occurred in the capitol build
ing, under the Supreme Court room,
yesterday afternoon between FIVE

age OF a gas me re. The fire de-
partmeut was summoned and did
heroic work The flames were soon
subdu' q, but it was feared that the
damage was irreparable. The Law
Library was in thla building, and
many handsome busts and pieces Of
of statuary.
The work of cleaning away the de.
bris in the capitol, which was the re-
suit of yesterdays explosion Of fire,
began to-day. An examination of
the Supreme Court, 10 which the
fire was confined, showed that the
walls and ceilings were discolor ed
and the carpets soaked, but no Sc
r,ous damage done. The benches
occupied Dy the Judges were unin-
Jured and the briefs left by
some of the Judges under their
paper weights, were undistuIbed
The windows and sash IN the fue
old colonial windows, thanking the
boncb, are in ruins. However, the
frescoed ceilings are only blurred
and sotted, and the carpets and dra-
peries soaked. The personal effects
of the Judges, such as their robes,
etc, were uninjured. The main loss
is in the marshal's Office, in the
storage room, where the valuable
old records are kept. The extent of
this loss is not yet exactly determ-
ined, but the court officials expect
TO make critical examination to-
day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Iuvestiga-
tion showed that the damage to the
capitol by the explosion and fire last
night was very much less than at
first thought Elliot. Wood, assistant
architect of the capitol, under whose
direction the repairs will be made,
after the examinations, said the
foundations were not disturbed and
that the necessary repairs could be
made by the time congress meets.
The repairs to the building will not
exceed $4,000.

MANUAL TRAININGS TEACHINGS

1t Enlsrges the BOy's Interests and Helps

manual training teaches no spe
ei6c trades, but aims to give knowl-
edge Of the principles underlying all
trades,' explains q writer in the Nc
vember LADIES' Home Journal. "Lit-
orally, it means hand training. It
teaches the young men the princi-
pies and practice of carpentry, pat
tern making, wood carving. black
smithing, wise work and machine
construction, and 1t does it more
thoroughly and in far less time than
it is possible to do it in the manu-
factories themselves. The models
are not finished articles, but are sim
ply general principles in both wood
and metal working.
II am led to believe that manual
training, by enlarging a boys inter.
ests and outlook. not only helps him
more surely to find his right voca.
ton, but also tends to make that vo.
cation one Of nobleness and worth
And not only are these young fel-
lows occupied, but they are also sue
cessful. As students, teachers, jour.
nalists, architects, engineers, eletri.
clans, draughtsmen, physicians and

American Postal Re form.

A"0HACAA OoI0A 1NeAOE"s
The United States Post office, Offer
ing comparative few facilities to the
public, is run at large annual loss
in 1897 over $11 100000. On the other
hand, the Postal Departments of the
civilized world, Offering much wider
postal facilities, are usually run 1T q
considerable annual prof1t-that of
Great Britain, in 1896 7, over $ls,OOO,-
600. The German Post Office, in 1896,
made profit Of over $1,000 600. The
letter-rate in Great Britain is two
cents for package up to four ounces,
four cents for half pound, eight
cents for 0ne-pound letter, with still
lower rates for parcels. The average
British postal telegram costs less than
one-half the average American pri-
vate telegram. Six and one. quarter
cents carries parcel up to
eleven pounds in weight, in
Germany, distances up to ten
miles,aud for any greater dist
ance within the limits Of the empire
the rate is but twelve and one-half
cents.
The United states Post office can be
made to furnish the American people
with the very best and cheapest postal
facilities in the world, and this with
no deficiency in the postal revenues
The essential thing is to arouse pub
llc attention as to the possibilities Of
this most wonderful of public services
