PEACEMAKER GARRISON's SPEECH.
Says War Was Hurried Regardless OF
Truth or National Honor.

The principal speaker at the annual
meeting of the Universal Peace Union at
Mystic. Conn. yesterday, was William
Lloyd Garrison, who devoted his time TO
vigorous denuncia ton of war in general,
and the late war in particular. He said in
part:
THE late war with Spain was worked up
with the unspontaniety of = labored drama.
1t was not called for by TIE people, was
earnestly opposed by disinteresred think
ers who had the public ear, and the aver
sion Of the evidently sincere President and
Secretary of the Navy gave hopes OF a
peaceful settlement.
"A remarkable series of fortuitous events
strengthened the hands of the yellow jour
mails and the jiugoes in Congress, beginning
with the theft of the Spanish minister's
private letter from the mails for publica-
ton, the still unexplained explosion which
destroyed the Maine and the carefully
worked up speech Of Senator Proctor. os-
tensibly in behalf of the starving reconcen-
trados who were soon to rue the senator's
friendship. All contributed to fire the
heart of the nation and force the unpre-
pared administration to instant war.
Like the Franco-Prussian war initiated
by falsehood our hostiHtles with Spain
were hurried, regardless of truth or ma
uonal honor. In the light of todays knowl-
edge Of the Cuban insurrection and the
real character of the insurgents, of the
eagerness of Spain to avoii fighting by
generous concessions, OF the brutal and
blind declaration of war by Congress re-
gardless of preparation or season. the ver-
dict of history must pronounce the incep-
uon OF the struggle to be without Justifica-
ton.
Behold country that has had its CEN
tury of dishonor with the Indians and its
tnfamy with the negro. prating Of its new
found duty to swarms of people OF whose
nature and needs il knows nvthingi Ad-
nlire the assurance of a people which shuts

FoRECAsTER DUNN's REVENGE.
Former New York Weather SbarD
Getting Even With the Bureau.
From the New York Journal Today

From the New York Journal, Today.
An explanation cf the continued hot wave
which has been sarping the vitality of New
York and the country surrounding is fur
nished by story concerning a warm time
in the local weather observatory. The
weather forecaster, Mr.. Emery, has been
notified to get out Of his lofty quarters on
the roof Of the Manhattan Life Insurance
building or pay 5000 year rental The
weather bureau in Washington refuses 10
pay $1,000 g year. Mr.. Emery cannot find
another suitable location and, to cap the
climax, the man who has been in charge of
the bureau at night, DIR. F. A. Davis. has
resigned.
Elias Dunn is cool enough to frappe even
as hot weather as we have been having
but he does not seem to be doing it. lie
holds the commanding hand in the game
against Mr.. Moore. chief of the bureau
who forced him to resign. II appears now
that Farmer Dunn, during his command of
the weather bureau in this city, saved the
government 5000 year in rent.
Before the Manhattan Life building was
built Mr.. Dunn saw the plans and arranged
with the insurance people for the tower.
Realizing the value of the advertisement
the life Insurance people entered into a COM
tract to supply place free for the ,locaI
branch OF the weather bureau so long as
Farmer Dunn was in charge. The recent
unpleasantness between Mr.. Dunn and
Chief Moore Of the Washington office, re-
sulting In Dunn's resignation, impelleo the
life insurance people TO serve notice on Mr.
Emery, Mr.. Dunn's successor, that he must
pay 5000 year for the privilege OF dish
ing up weather for New York or move
Mr.. Moore couldn't see II that way and
so informed Mr.. Emery. Now Mr.. Emery
has to get another place to cook up his
weather dreams In before November /.

IMPERILED MANY LIVES.
Incendiary E1aze I'm n Six-StOry New
York Tenement.

A fire which is believed to be of incendi-
ary origin imperiled the lives of eleven
families ana did $4,000 worth Of damage in
the six-story tenement at No. 733 5th street,
New York, yesterday.
Max Stein, a deaf mute, fell down an air
shaft and was badly injured.
Sehg Lipman and wife, who lived on the
top floor. were unable to reach a fire es-
cape and sought safety on the roof. AS
they were going up the scuttle steps they
were overtaken by flames, which severely
burned Lipman's naked arm and singed
the hair from his wife's head.
All the other inmates escaped uninjured.
Seven demijohns which had contained
kerosene We're found in the cellar of the
tenement, which pointed to incendiarism
as the cause of the fire. They had appar-
emily been SO placed about the foot of the
stairway in the cellar that they would
topple over and scatter the oil in all di-
rections. Three of the demijohns had top
pied over as planned and one had gone over
Only partly. An investigation is under way.

UsHER's TORPEDO PLAN.
Wars Chances Prevented Him From
RfvaIing HObsOn's Fame.

H1Nai1nB hOUsOnS rame.
From the New York Journal Today.
A remarkable plan that failed through
no fault of his was that of Lieutenant
Usher. commanding the little torpedo boat
Ericsson. Had not wars chances been
against him his name would now probably
be on the nations tongue.
Usher intended to run into Santiago har-
Dor by night, torpedo those Of the Spanish
ships he could reach and ignore his chance
of ever getting out Of 1t alive.
He didn't do 1t, but the glory Of his plan
is interesting as showing how real heroism
Is not all closely monopolized by the ia
nous.
First Lieutenant Edi. who fires the Erics-
sons torpedo and Is her only other line Of
f1cer. told yesterday of the plan that was
nipped.
usher and 1 had 1t fixed up before we
left Key West" he said, but our machin-
cry broke down about that time and there
was no way of getting over to Santiago.
At last We were taken across under convoy
and Usher asked the admiral for permis-
sion to make an attempt on the Spaniards.
He expected to sink at least one of them IL
We could get inside
THE admiral kept putting us off, but
Usher persisted. Every man of our crew
about twenty in all-was dead anxious to
make the try.
II 1t would have come off IL
Cervera hadn't made his sudden move out.
We were expecting to go in day or two
later than the day he chose for his dash.
AS things turned out it's just as well
the Ericsson didn't try it. We looked at the
harbor entrance afterward and there were
booms strung across that would have hung
us up and made target for all the
guns in the Spanish fleet.
I'VE were looking for one line of booms,
but the way Cervera had guarded himself
would have made our little game a dead
loss.
They had chained a string of big logs
from each bank to the wreck of the Merri-
mac. We might have got over those by
breaking our propeller-that is, dashing at
them full speed and trusting the lift of
our bow to slide us over till the propeller
struck. If that hit right one or two blades
might be left, enough to give her steering
| way. Anyhow, the impetus would carry us
along till We could get near enough to
damage the enemy.
But the Spaniards had lot of other
booms run out and end of rapid-ti
pieces tucked away in angles along the
shore that would have raked us fore and
| aft.
of course. we didn't expect to get out
alive II we had ever started, but it would
have been good piece of work and easily
worth the loss Of two officers and twenty
men,"

IlolIl d waking SHADOW las my
friends called me) to perfect health"
Thirteen years ago | was wound
ed by ball passing through my
lung" said George H. Belcher, esq,
of Dorton, Pike Co., Ky. Il have had
a bad cough ever since with short
ness of breath, and it was very easy
to take cold; the slightest change of
weather would cause the cough to be
so bad I would have to sit up in bed
all night.
Il could not eat nor sleep at times !;
| was all run down; could not work
at all. A few months ago I began
using DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. [ have not used more
than two bottles and now I can eat,
sleep and work, and l feel like a new
man. | cannot find words to suffi-
c1ently recommend DR.. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery, or tell the
good it has done me-"
THE BASIS OF POWER.
The extraordinary effect of this
great discovery" upon the diges-
tive and nutritive organism, which is
the basis of all physical renewal,
gives it efficient potency in all those
complaints, of both adults and chill
dren, associated with debility, ENACT
alton and loss of stamina. 1t is the
sovereign remedy above all medi-
cines ever invented for overcoming
severe, chronic, lingering coughs,
throat and bronchial complaints,
bleeding from the lungs and all
kindred ailments, which, if neglect
ed, or badly treated, lead on to that
dread disease-consumption.
1t obllterates poisonous bile-pro-
ducts and disease germs from the
circulation and the skin; expels
morbid accumulations from the
bronchial tubes and lung cells; gives
keen assimilative power to the di-
gestive juices and blood-making
glands; and supplies an abundance
OF that pure, regenerating, nutritive
material which builds up healthy
tissue, muscular flesh and vital nerve
force. It regenerates the blood, and
thereby reJuvenates the man.
WHAT MAKES NERvE-PoWER?
For delicate, nervous, broken
down and emaciated invalids it is a
thousand times preferable to nause-
Gus emulsions, or delusive stimu-
lants, malt extracts and alcoholic
compounds" 1t does not give a
mere temporary stimulus to the
nerves. 1t feeds them; it rebuilds
them; it makes rich blood and trans
forms it into healthy nerve-hber.
GREAT SUFFERING

DANGERS AVOIDED.
This matchless Golden Medical
Discovery" is absolutely free from
alcohol. 1t is totally unlike the
numerous "sarsaparillas,' ''tcnics,"
compound" malt extracts" and So
called blood purifiers" which con-
tain so large percentage of alcohol
that their persistent use is almost
certain to awaken morbid craving
for stimulants. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" is a temperance
medicine, pure and simple 1t may
be used with perfect confidence in a
temperance family. Thereby all
danger of contracting the alcohol
habit is avoided.
The unparalleled reputation of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has led some unscrupulous dealers
to take advantage of the almost uni
versal demand by attempting to sub
stitute some other article in which
they have greater interest. Any
druggist who evinces his contempt
for your judgment by trying to foist
upon you something different from
what you ask for, on the plea that
his substitute is ''just as good"
should be met by a fiat refusal to
discuss the question. Show him that
you have a mind of your own.
The splendid Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y,
of which DR.. Pierce is the chief con-
sulting physician, is the model medi-
cal institution of America: DIR.
Pierce's staff of nearly a score of as
sociate specialists includes the most
eminent experts in every field of
practice.
NO CHARGE
No charge is made for consulta-
ton by mail; and any one writing to
DR.. Pierce will receive a cordial,
earnest, prompt reply, containing the
best professional advice obtainable
in America without one cent of cost !;
and the treatment suggested will be
always the most simple, sensible and
inexpensive.
AN UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE.
1t should be remembered that DIR.
Pierce in his thirty years of practical
experience at the head of his great
institution, has successfully treated
more cases of severe, obstinate,
chronic diseases than the average
local practitioner ever heard of. His
great thousand-page illustrated
Common Sense Medical Adviser"
has had greater sale than any other
medical book ever published in any
language: Three-quaraters of a mil
lion copies were sold at $I.5o each.
A free edition, paper bound, has been
issued, and one copy will be sent to
any one family for the mere cost of
mailing, Fl one-cent stamps sent to
DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y; or
for 81 stamps a heavier, handsome,
cloth-bound copy will be sent.
