MAY BE DRUG ON MARKET.
The Coming Of Peace Will Find Many
Mules, ships and Army Wagons
for sale.

With the advent of peace Uncle Sam
will enter the markets of this country
with large number of ships, mules
and army wagons for sale. Even after
peace is restored il will be necessary for
this government 10 maintain garrisons
i'm Cuba until a stable government has
been established. The requirements of
the commissary department will be re-
duced, thus partially relieving the gov
ernment of the necessity of maintain
ing this expensive branch of the army.
When these mules were purchased an
attempt was made 10 corner the mar
ket, but Uncle Sam promptly frus-
trated the scheme 10 fleece him, and set
his own price on the number Of mules
time arrives 10 dispose of them, and
these vicious animals will be sold at
public auction for what they will bring.
The vessels which were so hurriedly
purchased are unfit for the permanent
naval establishment, and large num-
ber of them will also go under the
hammer. II is the intention of con-
gress TO assign some of these ships TO
the revenue cutter service, but that
body will meet with strong opposition
when they attempt 10 carry out their
plan. The senate made provision in the
urgent deficiency bill for five new rev
enue cutters, but Uncle Joe" Cannon
stated on the floor of the house that the
government would possess large sur
plus of vessels at the cessation of hostil-
tiles and no more revenue cutters would
be needed, so the house promptly re-
fused TO accept the amendment adopted
by the senate. Capt. Shoemaker, chief
of the revenue cutter service, asserts
that these vessels will not meet the re-
quirments of the service, and an inter
esting fight is expected when congress
meets.

WILL BE FASTER.
New Warships to he Constructed by
This Government VIII Have
High speed.

From present indications the new
warships which were provided for in
the last naval appropriation bill will
be faster than those now in commits
sion. Navy department officials have
receded from their old ideas of sac
riticing speed 10 armor; and the les
sons learned from naval operations in
the present war are responsible for
this change. Experts who have here
tofore been inclined TO disregard
speed as an important factor in the
navy are forced 10 their convictions in
the face of recent demonstrations in
actual service. The work of the Ore
gon. which is one of the heaviest bat
tleships in the American navy, in sink
ing the Cristobal Colon in n terrific
running fight has had much 10 do with
forcing these officers to take a step
forward in regard TO speed. Had il
not been for the rapid movements of
this magnificent ship, which at times
reached 10 knots an hour, the Colon
might possibly have escaped and given
the war officials trouble before its fate
was finally sealed.

HOW A WOUND HEALS.
When the Blood is Pure Wound Heals Quickly.
The Fact Demonstrated in the Case of a
Baptist Clergyman of Ashley. Ohio.
From the Times, Ashley, Ohio.

Elder A. 8. Shoemaker has been a life
long resident of Ashley, Ohio, and is favor
ably known bya wide circle of friends in
this part of the state. For many years he
was a prominent Baptist minister. He has
been Mayor of Ashley for three successive
terms, filling the position with dignity and
honor, and has held other Offices of trust.
He is sixty-six years of age, hale and
hearty, and attributes his present healthful
condition entirely to the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.
"For about twenty-five years" he says

stantly in pain. | could not remain in one

Pale People and concluded 10 try them. In
the morning i went 10 the drug store and
purchased box of the pills and commenced
using them according 10 directions

the third night after commencing their use L

=" Just after l stopped the use of the pills

thought the wound would be very hard to
heal for u man of my age, but to the surprise
of everybody il healed quickly without any
difficulty. i attribute this also TO the good
condition of my blood through the use of
the pills"
In rheumatism the blood has an acid i'm.
purity which irritates the sensitive tissues
that unite the joints and cover the muscles,
thus causing those indescribable tortures which
rheumatic sufferers endure. rheumatism is
always dangerous as il is liable 10 attack the
heart.
Years ago those afflicted were bled as II
taking away some of the impure blood could
remedy the balance. This folly has been
abandoned, and to-day physicians prescribe
and druggists recommend the use of DIR.

A special dispatch to the New York
Tribune from Boston says: Rear Ad-
miral Kimberly, u. S. n. (retired), de-
livered an address on "Our Nay" at
the Chautauqua assembly grounds,
Lakeview, South birmingham.
After sketching the early history of
the United States navy aid its glori-
Gus achievements previous TO and in
the civil war, the speaker called atten-
tion 10 the fact that for two decades
after the close of the rebellion the
navy lay idle, ii being apparently for
gotten. Many of the ships became old
and rotten, almost unsafe. he said. It
was no fault of the naval officers. Since
then the navy had made great strides.
The armament of our navy was SUI
perior 10 any in the world. but its size
was about sixth. when il should be
second. at least, If not first.
'Our government" he added, (which
stands for morality and which seeks to
protect the rights Of the weak, is all right.
But what IT seeks 10 do can only be done
through an adequate navy. Diplomacy is
good, but there are times when II is impo-
tent unless IL Is backed up by a strong
navy. We are now going 10 build up our
navy 10 proper size and am glad OF II. But
no matter how fine ships we have they will
be practically useless unless they are
manned by capable officers"
Admiral Dewey was alluded to es-
pecially by the speaker, and the hero's
name was greeted with loud applause.

bravely. That he should not have forgot
ten the lessons OF that grand man was
shown in the battle of Manila bay. His or
ders were 10 destroy the Spanish fleet, and
he did It. But he also had 10 secure har-
Dor.
I'm the Philippines there are 114,0W
square miles and 100000 population. The
only way 10 solve the problem is TO take
the islands ourselves or TO set them free

that we would turn the city over TO him. I
explained 10 him fully that we were at war

NEVER FRETS.
The Reason Why Gen. Shafter Is Able
to stand the Trying Heat
of Cuba.

Everybody is wondering how Gen.
Shafter manages to survive the blister
ing calorics in Cuba with his $40 pounds.
The explanation is simple, says the
New York Press, he never frets. He
is not less cool on the heights of San
tiago than he was at Fair Oaks, where,
Notwithstanding severe wounds, he
voluntarily remained on the field of
battle, taking an active part until the
close of the engagement. For this con-
gress gave him a medal of honor, which
he wears on the biggest chest in the
army. Notwithstanding his great
weight he is, at 63 years of age, as ac-
tive as lieutenant of 30. "Pecos Bill
is fine old chap.
Shafter being a Michigander, and not
having reached the command of the
department of the east. is generally
unknown to New Workers. For
good many years he was sta
toned with his old command,
the First infantry. on Angel is
land, seven miles from San Francis
co, where in 1897 he commanded the
department of California, with the
rank of brigadier general. He was
colonel of the First infantry for IS
years. He ought TO know all about
volunteer soldiers, as he served with
the Seventh and Nineteenth Michigan,
and as for colored troops, why, he was
colonel OF black regiment in 1864.
