When Dr. Hayes, Buffalo, N Y, an
nounced nearly twenty years ago, that he
could cure Asthma so that the sufferer
would stay cured, few believed him, for they
doubted the pernanency of the cures which
he established. For many years DIR.
Hayes has been issuing annually his Thesis
with Reports of Cases" each recurring sea
son strengthening his position; and it is
remarkable fact that many of the first cases
reported are still represented in his book,
for they have stayed cured-some for nine
teen years, some for sixteen or more years,
others for twelve, ten, eight and six years.
The names and addresses of the patients are
given in full, so that anyone who now doubts
may consult the former sufferers freely. DR..
Hayes practice now extends not only to
Great Britain and the continent of Europe,
but to India, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa as well. Each patient is
treated individually by separate prescrip-
tions varied from time to time as frequent
correspondence shows is needed and in this
way suecess is attained in even the most
difficult and obstinate cases. ANY sufferer
or person interested can obtain the latest
edition of DR.. Hayes book on application

The highest grade now provided for
by law in the navy Is that of rear ad.
miral, the grades OF admiral and vice
admiral having expired with the
deaths of Adm. Porter and Vice Ad-
miral Rowan. Special Legislation
would be required TO revive either
grade. II Is probable that one or both
of them may be revived at the end OF
the war as rewards for officers who

Dewey will receive one of these re-
wards may be regarded as certain.
Acting Rear Admiral Sampson Is looked

GREELEY AS AN ORATOR.
The Famous Editor Had Many Pc
culiarities, But Always Said
Something Good.

Mr.. Greeley was not an orator in any
scholastic sense. He had a poor and
somewhat squeaking voice; he knew
nothing of gestures, and he could not
take an orators pose, which>adds such
emphasis to the matter and argument
to be set forth. Not all his years of
practice on the platform and on public
occasions ever changed his habits and
methods as a speaker, and he ended as
poorly equipped in the respects named
for the vocation as when he began. But
he had one prime quality, without
which all the others are exploited in
vain. He invariably had something to
say, and he said it in such clear and
wholesome English, with such SINGER
ity, that he was an orator in spite of all
the rules, says Harper's Magazine.
TO state it briefly, of all the eminent
speakers l have ntroduced-and more
than once-there was not one who gave
better satisfaction, different and nota-
ole as they We're, than Horace Greeley
As consequence, he came to me often
est, and wore the best. We might or
might not agree with some of his me-
cuiiar premises, as when he saws: THE

FRENCH AND GERMAN TRADE.
Comparative Statistics That Present
Very Encouraging OutiOOk
for France.

Under the title of '"The German In
vasion," M. Jules Roche, formerly
French minister of commerce and in
dustry, writing in the Paris Figaro,
draws very discouraging picture of
the present position of French COM
merce. Taking the statistics of the
custom-house administration just pub
lished for 1897, he shows that the i'm
ports last wear amounted to 1900, 00O, 900
francs. / the exports to $3.50, 900, 900
francs, which was an increase compared
with 1896 of O1,oOO.OOO francs in the
imports, and 275, 200, 900 francs in the
exports. NJ. Jules Roche admits the
progress is considerable, but he con-
tends that to form a just opinion of
the commercial situation of France it
is requisite to compare it with that of
other nations, and especially Germany.
Taking the year following the Franco
Prussian war as a starting point for
his comparison, NJ. Jules Roche points
out that in 1872 the exports of France
amounted to $780,, 100000 francs, and
those of Germany to 1900, 900 francs.
In 1896, however, the exports of France
were only 3,401, 100000 francs, while
those of Germany had increased to
4,S92, 100000 francs. Consequently, be-
tween 1872 and the end of 1896 the ex-
ports of Germany had increased by
1892 100000 francs, and those of France
had diminished by 361 100000 francs
that is to say, an increase of over So
per cent. for Germany, and decrease
of nearly ten per cent. for France.

here is that they have not. Col. Hum

petition are some batteries of artil-
lery. In all these forces constitute
about $500 or 1000 men.
The officials hope to rush the rcen-
forcements to Gen. Shafter so that
there will be from 81. 200 to $4,000 men
under his command within the next
ten days and sooner if this can be ar
ranged. This is exclusive of the in
