! San Francisco, June 15-Shortly after
noon the announcement was made that
the steamer Senator, which had been
lying at her dock all night taking on a
cargo and undergoing repairs, was
ready to go into the stream, and about
l o'clock the order was given to cast
OIL At the same time Major General
Greene ordered the transports Colon,
China and Zealandia, which had an
chored off the mail dock last night, to
weigh their anchors and then proceed
up to the bay to Join the Senator,
which had continued her voyage ocean
wards without coming to anchor.
Thousands of people had assembled
along the docks to witness the depart
ure of the fleet and when the signals
ordering the vessels to get away were
observed mighty cheer went up.
Added to the cheering of the people
was the blowing of whistles and the
ringing of bells Every steam vessel in
the harbor with steam up blew long
blasts from their sirens, and every
factory and mill in the manufacturing
district saluted the vessels with blasts
from their whistles. Bombs were ex-
ploded, and cannon were fired, and
amidst this hubbub the four stately
vessels, bearing their loads of human
ity and munitions of war, passed down
the bay
The excitement was intense. The
water front was black with people,
and the waving of flags and handker-
chiefs presented a beautiful sight The
vessels in the harbor dipped their col
ors as the transports passed by, and
countless yachts and other small craft

MARINES REINFORCED.
Large Body of Cubans Come to Relief
of Americans

Washington, June 15.-Like the relief
of the beleaguered at Lucknow came
the welcome news to the navy depart
ment this afternoon that the little band
Of American marines who had planted
the flag ON Crest hill and were defend
ing it night and day against heavy
odds-were not only safe, but were
strongly reinforced by 1,5OO Cubans
from the commands of Garcia and
Rabl, and were now strong enough to
more than hold their own. It was dis
closed in a dispatch from Admiral
Sampson, and brought much relief to
naval officers The early reports had
indicated that the marines were sur
rounded, and it was feared that they
might be compelled to return to the
ships before General Skaters invading
army reached there on Friday.
The coming of the Cuban forces
seems to have been in the nick of time.
and the naval officials give the fullest
credit to the timeliness of this Cuban
cooperation.
Probably the most significant feature
OF the adnliraPs dispatch was the state
ment that the Cuban General Rabi
mad occupied Accerraderos, only eight
miles from Santiago, and practically a
suburb of that Spanish stronghold. 1t
was the execution of a plan arranged
IN Washington some weeks ago. when

GEMS OF BEAUTY.

It is curious to speculate on the probable reason for the diamond being such fa- vorite with women, for in reality it has not tithe of the beauty possessed by many other precious stones It simply reflects the prismatic colors and has nothing of its own in the way of attractiveness. Many do not wear opals because of the ill-luck which superstition says clings to them, yet the ancients thought the opal the luckiest of stones. The oriental opal is often very valuable, and the Mexican stone, while cheaper, is very pretty and brilliant. Set in silver, together with pearls, this stone becomes surprisingly lovely. Usually we see it in conjunction with diamonds
 The amethyst has been much abused be- cause there are so many cheap grades on the market people forget how fine the good stones are. The oriental amethyst has a wonderful fire, is very deep in color, often a deep purple, sometimes red. The jewellers of the far east show such skill in cutting these big crystals that they become nearly as dazzling as a diamond.
 The amethyst depends upon its setting for much of its attractiveness It looks well in silver, as does the opal. A pin of mod erate-size oriental amethysts set in silver is very unique and handsome.
 Amber is cheap and effective at once. It is usually seen in strings of beads, but there have been so many limitations on the mar ket that amber beads have fallen into dis repute. Amber is also disliked by the peo- pie who wear gems not for their beauty, but to let people know they can afford such extravaganza. However, as 1t Is said, the supply of amber is getting alarmngly small it may soon rise to prodigious value.

The Time to Advertise.

In these quiet days following the Ihol- 1days buyers are making their spring time plans, and are carefully consider ing purchases. Perhaps no one in the country has more closely studied the art of advertising than MT. John Wanna maker. He has certainly reaped a shower of gold from it, and here is what he says as to such days as these: "I do the heaviest advertising in dull times. Then is when people look most keenly for bargains, are anxious to know how much things cost and when and where they can save money. I advertise particular things; give prices and take as much palms with my announcements as do with my stock. One big din- ner won't keep the reputation of the house, but steady, good cooking does it. I never permit dntere.st in my annouce- ments to lag, and never miss an issue in my chosen publications. Advertis- ing has made my store one of the larg- est in the country"

A young fellow who drank much more than was good for him was advised by his friends to take the gold cure, but he re- fused. "But," protested his friends, "your physician says that if you keep on drink ing you will surely soon go blind. Now the question is simply this: Do you prefer being cured of the drink habit and and re- taining your sight, or do you prefer to keep on drinking and go blind" The young man paced the floor for some time and was in a brown study. Finally he turned to his friends and, with a resigned expression of countenance replied: ''Well, I guess I've seen about everything"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago News
 Playing with loaded dice is shaky bus mess.
 The worst of all "isms" is the rheuma- tism.
 The cup that cheers is a noisy piece of crockery.
 A word to the wicked is sufflcient-if you call him liar.
 A thing of beauty Is joy forever-if the cost price doesn't leak out.
 The ink is entitled to credit for much of the mightiness attributed to the pen.
 The average girl prefers a y-caught to the presidency of spinster club.
 By the time age brings wisdom to a man he is usually too old to have any use for it.
 A clock points out the hours for a man, but a charming woman makes him forget them.
 When debtor puts airs and his creditor gets wind of it they sometimes come to blows. The mutual disappointment or a huband and wife is one of the most pitiful things in the world. Usually when a woman begins her mis- sionary work on a man she loses the most of her influence over him. There is no objection to a man blowing his own horn, but it's the tune he always selects that makes us tired.
 It's an easy matter for girl to fall in love with a shiftless man, but when she has to take in washing to support him aye, there's the rub.

Three Alabama Towns.

The three interior cities of Alabama. Montgomery, Selma and Birmingham, each had some failures Tn 1897, but with one exception they were of minor na- ture; and all three cities go into 1898 in excellent condition, hopeful, and solid as a rock. Bach and all promise to grow and prosper in 1898 as they have not grown and prospered since 1892.
 The general conditions are sat.sfac- tory. The banks are full of money, and investors are looking about sharply for opportun ties that. win give larger returns than the ruling rates for monsy dn the large money markets afford. Some of those investors will come this way. Then. too, the farmers of Ala bama are paying more attention to food crops, and this will result in more
