HoBsON's wRECK-RaIsING PLANS
What IL VIII Cost to Recover Span
ish ships and Merrimac.

WASHINGTON. October 29.-Naval-
Constructor Hobson arrived in this city
to-day. from Philadelphia, where he tool.
part in the Peace Jubilee This afternoon
he appeared before the Board OF Naval
Bureau Chiefs, for the purpose Of ex-
planning the condition of the Spanish
ships wrecked off the coast of Santiago
and the progress and prospect of the ef-
forts which he is making for their re
cOvery.
1t is said a million dollars will be re-
quired 10 continue the operations, and
the Secretary Of the Navy desires TO
know what chance there is OF success be
fore authorizing the expenditure OF so
large an amount of money. The action of
the department will be based upon the
reports of the Board Of Bureau Chiefs
after the examination Of Naval-Construc-
tor HObsOn.
The latter was with the board all the
afternoon, and gave a great deal of de-
tailed information as to the condition
OF the wrecks He was of opinion that IL
was useless TO continue the services OF
the wrecking company any longer, and
that results did not warrant the $500 per
day il is receiving.
COLON AND VIZCAYA.
Constructor Hobson said that in
his opinion the Colon and the
Vizcaya could both be raised and
brought TO dry-docks at New York or
Norfolk. at cost of 100000 for one An /
500 600 for the other, and possibly both
could be brought in for 100000 each.
Mr. Hobson wanted 10 be placed at thc
head of a wrecking company which he
should organize, and be authorized to
expend from $500 600 to 100000 on the two
vessels. He said the hull of the Vizcaya
was intact. and he proposes to build a
Golfer dam around her and bring her 70
the surface. after making the repairs
necessary to float her.
Mr. Hobson also gave the Bureau Chlefs
some information concerning the Reina
Mercedes and the Merrimac. The former
could be easily raised. he believed, Tor 1t
was apparent that she only had been
scuttled. The Merrimac could be raised
and he said she must be removed from
the mouth Of the harbor In some way.
The board will have another meeting
Monday. and possibly make some recon-
mendations TO the Secretary regarding
the wrecks off Santiago.

There are Times
When you Can't
Lay Up a Cent.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-05-11

When a business man gets to the point
where he annot sleep at night, where he is
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
ever remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the foor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn
If he does not, it means nervous prostratiou
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make a man of him
again. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom Of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause - the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. 1t promptly transforms a weak stom-
ach into a healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. It gives a
man an appetite like a boys. It invigor-
ates the liver. 1t fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
we'll and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
6bers. 1t puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing Just as good" can be found at
medicine stores.
II had suffered about eleven years with a pain
In the back of my head aud back, v writes Mr..
Robert Hubbard, of Warner, Lincoln Co., Ark.
II suffered for eleven years and spent a great
deal of money for doctors and medicine, but did
not get relief. Then I tried four bottles of the
Code Medical Discovery and improved great
ly. I sent for five more and now am glad to tell
everyone that l am in good health.''

The Burlington's New Trains.

Railroad men who have had the privi-
lege Of examining the four new trains
which the Burlington Route, on the 1st
of May, placed in service between Denver
and Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the country
that even the famous limited expresses
between Chicago and New York are
not handsomer or more luxurious,
Every car is wide vestibuled, and was
built especially for the Burlington
Route.
\ The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement. Each is
composed Oft buffet-smoking-library car
with bath and barber-shop), a palace
s~leeplng-car, a %dining-car, and two
reclining-chair cars. The butfet-smok-
ing-library car is something new for a
Denver-Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
club house on wheels, where one may
read, write, smoke, talk, Or play cards.
while travelling at the rate of fifty miles
al hour. 1t is handsomely carpeted
and furnished with s%ettees, cushioned
easy chairs, a l%avatory, a wrlting-desk,
a compartment for card-players. and a
well-stocked buffet. The current
periodicals and newspapers are on file,
and a carefully selected library is
provided for the free use of passengers.
The sleeping-car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way worthy
of the train of which they form an i'm
portant part.
The Burlington Route takes these
palatial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.
Leaving Denver at $3.50 a. H.. today on
one of them you are landed in Chicago
at 2:15 tomorrow afternoon, there max.
ing close connections with trains for all
points east. The running time from
Denver to Chicago is only tw~enty-seven
and three-quarter hours. Just how
fast that is will be best understood when
it is stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule in effect
prior to February 9th, 1898.

College Athletics.

A distinguished writer in a pamphlet
published by the intercollegiate Athletic
Association, says that an immense i'm
provement in the moral and physica
status of college graduates has taken
place since the Introduction of athletic
games in college. There is no reason
why ''brain and Drawn should be an.
tagonistic. In support of this last
proposition the action Of that genial
invfgorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which in strengthening the body
increases mental activity. may be
authoritatively cited. This famous
medicine overcomes the dyspepsia
peculiar to persons of ~sedentary,
inactive habits, and yields sound refresh
ing sleep. It also remedies liver
complaint, constipation, malaria, rheu-
matism, nervousness and kidney trouble.
