A WAR ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Il Few Important Things Worth Knowing
at This Time.

e Few Important Things Worth Knowing
at This Time.
Privateering is nothing more or less
than legalized piracy, and is now treat
ed as such by most civilized nations.
The crews Of such vessels were for
merly allowed to draw lots, and the un-
lucky ones had either to walk the
plank" or hang from the yardarm.
Those who escaped this fate were
forced to enter the service Of the
enemy.
1t has become such dangerous busi-
ness in these days of steam and cleo
tricity that few men could now be
found to take the risks.
War is an expensive luxury. The
cost per day of maintaining in COM
mission an ordinary warship is $500.
The present outlay for the United
States Navy is more than $4,000 day.
On a peace footing it cost the Gov
eminent 1891 ,O65.60 to maintain the
cruiser New York during 1897.
A single charge of ammunition for
some of the great guns costs as much
as $500 Such a shot may do a million
dollars worth of damage to the adver-
sary against whom it is sent
The custom still prevalent of bel
ligerents in war Selling the merchant
vessels of the enemy on the high seas
is survival Of the old custom of prey
ing on all private property found in an
enemy's country.
What are called the rules of civilized
warfare forbid an army to modest nom
combatants, or to interfere with the
homes, persons or property Of peaceful
citizens
A great writer on the laws of nations
begins his monumental work on In
ternational Law with the frank ad-
mission. There is no international
law"
The reason there is no such law that
is binding on the nations is found in
the fact that only the signers are bound
by any international agreement
Any of these may retire whenever
such agreement seems to clash with
her interests.
There is no power except the sword
to hold them.
American college men always come
to the front in time of war.
The students of the old Kings Col
lege in New York, the foundation Of
the Columbia University OF to-day,
were among the first patriots to offer
their services to the popular cause
when the Revolution broke out.
1t was the same with the college
men, North and South, when the war
of secession came. 1t is the same
to-day when foreign enemy has to be
dealt with.
President Mckinley, desiring that
the present war shall be carried on in
a civilized manner has proclaimed the
following rules for its conduct:
The neutral flag covers enemys
goods, with the exception of contra
band of war
Neutral goods not contraband of war
are not liable to confiscation under the
enemy's flag.
Blockades in order to be binding
must be effective.

This is the amount due by the city TO
the company as the purchase price of two

REPUBLICANS NOT DECIDED.
Some of Them Intend to Support
Col. Lester.

The Republicans of the First congress
sional district by reason of their failure
to unite on a candidate for Congress, have
one of three courses to pursue at the com
ing election. They will either have to vote
for Col. Lester, the Democratic nominee,
the Independent candidate, or go without
voting at all. There is no understanding
about the course the party leaders will
pursue.
1t is a fact, however, that many of the
Republicans will vote for Col. Lester. The
fact that they have no candidate, will
cause many of them to go his way. Some
are outsDoken as to their intentions, and
have no hesitancy in saying they viii put
forth all their efforts to run Col. Lester 5
majority UP to ringing pitch.
Il want it understood that l am open
and above board for Lester" said one CT
them yesterday, In my opinion he will
get many Republican votes, and it IS my
intention to induce all I can TO vote for
him. Col. Lester suits me. Had the Re-
publicans nomlna ted a candidate, should
have worked Gor his election, but as they
have not done SO, / am going to work for
my choice between the two who are in the
field"

Two cars reached the city several
days ago, but when about half of one was
unloaded, it was discovered the lot was
not up to sample. Commissioner Williuk
at once decided not to accept the ship
ment, and accordingly notified the COM
pany's agent in jacksonville.
Samples of another kind were after
wards sent but as the company failed to
pay the express charges, Commissioner
Willink declined to take them from the
Office. This was followed by a correspond
ence, which ended in the company agree
ing to furnish the Tennessee brick, which
is manufactured at Robbins, a small town
near Chattanooga. This is the kind used
around the market, and has proven salts
factory in every way. The shipments will
probably begin to arrive soon after which

an Alderman Contends With.
Mr.. ]. 7, West is still undecided about
accepting the vacancy in. Council as an
alderman. to which he has been elected.
II is very doubtful whether he will accept
as his business takes much of his time,
ana If he assumes the duties of an alder-
man. he thinks it will be at a sacrifice.
1t seems Mr.. West was scared off at
the start. Some time before he knew of
the action Of Council he was awakened
the morning afterward by a neighbor, and
told Of his election. Mr. West had not
been at his store long that morning until
he was besieged by scores Of ofiice-seek-
ers. He told them he had not accepted
the office, and could therefore, make no
promises, but this did not suffice. They
wanted him to promise he would vote for
them in case he accepted, and as some
were his best friends, he realized at the
start he was 90 make enemies. As he is
now one of the most popular men in the
city. he naturally hesitates TO go into the
board.
Il am glad YOU are elected, Tom" one
office holder said. Those fellows are Civ
ing me a close call, but with your help l
think I can pull through"
Wei, but l am told they have you
slated to go" Mr. West laughingly re-
piled.
Some of Mr.. Vests callers wanted the
place as city physician, just made vacant
by the resignation of DR.. Howkins. 9th
ers said they were after Health officer
LeHardy's place, while there were still
others who wanted promises in the event
certain things come TO pass. All this has
made MIR. West reluctant TO accept the
office, and, unless he changes his mind
the chances are that the vacancy win re-
main.
