SHOOTING ON THE SEA,

Necessarily the deck of a vessel at
sea offers much less satisfactory plat
form from which to shoot than the
solid foundation provided in a land
fort, since even when the ocean is
calmest, the vessel must constantly
roll from side to side. Theoretically,
the best time to fire would be at the
moment between the rolls, when the
deck of the ship is perfectly level, and
in general way it may be said that
an attempt is made to do the shooting
at that instant. 1t is practically i'm
possible, however, to fire invariably
when the decks are horizontal No
matter how careful the gunner, the
piece is almost always exploded just
before or just after the proper instant.
The American practice, both in the
army and navy, has always been to
shoot low and always to save ammuni-
ton until it was possible to use it eff
fectively. In the navy the tradition
to shoot low has crystallized into a
standing rule, unwritten indeed, but
none the less religiously observed, and
its wisdom has been proved on more
than one occasion of great Importance.
The precise form of this unwritten
naval rule is to wait for the down
word roll This is the converse of
the maxim obtaining in the British
navy that it is best to take advantage
of the upward roll" which has been
observed almost from the beginning
of naval fighting by the gunners on
English ships.
This was rendered the more certain
from the fact that the spherical pro-
iectiles then in use would ricochet

THE CONYERS CASE.
The Doctors Withhold the Result OF
Their Investigation.

In response to call to examine the
body OF Leon Conyers, Dr.. Sweet Of
Bisbee arrived last evening and owing
to the fact that the post surgeon of
Fort Huachuca was unable to come the
defence secured the services of DR..
A. w. Olcott of Tucson, who arrived
this morning. DIR. Hall was asked to
assist Dr. Sweet and the conclave of
NJ. DIS. proceeded to their disagreeable
task, the body of Conyers being ex
humed and examination held.
What determination was arrived at
by the doctors is not made public and
will be withheld until called for by
the court. A Prospector representa-
tive was informed by each of them
that while they had no individual OBJ
lection to making their testimony pub
lie, yet were bound by other consider
ations and legal claims which must
be observed and thus their results will
not become known until such time
as the regular formal proceedings ar
rive.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Dwight L. Moody, who was a
business man before he was an
evangelist, has spoken plainly
on the question of advertising as
affecting religious gatherings
Mr.. Moody said: Zone thing
which is wrong is the way many
meetings are planned. Advertise
them. Let folks know what Is
going to be done. 1 believe if
business men would conduct
their affairs, or newspapers were
run as our churches are con-
Quoted, they would all be bank
rupt in six months. I don't be-
lieve any man need preach to
empty pews if he would only use
a little common sense. Adver-
tise. Put a notice in the paper.
Stick out sign"
The old advertising saw re-
fleets the true spirit of advertis-
ing. If you would be success
full don't go at this business
spasmodically. Keep everlasting
ly at it.

THE LONGEST TROLLEY TRIP.

One may now travel by trolley car in
eastern Massachusetts, very long dis
tances in continuous directions. The
longest continuous trip that may be
made is that between New Bedford,
Massachusetts,, and Nashua, New
Hampshire This route takes one from
the holiday shores of Buzzards Bay to
Mount Hope bay at Fall River, thence
to Taunton, along the right bank of
the beautiful Taunton river the great
er part of the way, and thence to Bos-
ton by way of Brockton and Quincy.
From Boston to Lowell there is a
choice of several routes as far as Read
ing, by way of Lynn, of Maiden, of
Medford, and Winchester, or Of Cam
bridge and Winchester. At Lowell
the Merrimac river is crossed to the
left bank, and a return to the right
bank is made not far from Nashua
There are also continuous trolley car
connections between Boston and Wor-
cester and Boston and Newburyport,
the latter city being reached by pleas
ant routes along the Merrimac through
the Whittier country" by way of
Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill.-

TAKE YOUR TIME, GENERAL.

| There is a flavor of civil war times
in the advice now being supplied to
General Miles in connection with the
proposed invasion of Cuba. The gen.
eral doubtless remembers how General
Grant caught it at the time of the
Vicksburg campaign, and again in the
halt before Petersburg. Both of those
maneuvers were much too slow to suit
the more impatient of the civilian OBJ
servers throughout the north, who in
sisted that the proper thing to do was
to rush in and finish the enemy. What
could he be waiting for? The enemy
was at hand. He had a large force
and could secure a larger for the ask
ing. But General Grant took his time
and turned the tricks. He knew the
conditions far better than his critics
Something like this is being heard
now. There lies Cuba. The enemy is
on the island, and awaits battle. Gen
eral Miles has large force at his COM
mand, and for the asking can have it
augmented any day. Why the delay?
Why does he not move and begin the
march to Havana?
| But if he were to move tomorrow the
clamor from this source would lot
cease. It would then be insisted that
no halt should take place on Cuban
soil. He would be urged to go right
on and crush Blanco Immediately Any
stop for preparations of any kind, or
for strengthening lines or smoothing
the way, would be denounced as evil
dence of incompetency. He would be
sharply reminded that the country ex-
pected him to fight and not simply
maneuver his men in the presence of
the enemy.
The country, as General Miles well
understands, wants as early action as
is consistent with the common sense
of the situation. No person who real
lily desires American success advocates
the landing of an undisciplined and a
half-equipped force in Cuba An in
strong as possible, both in point of
numbers and in training. 1t takes hot
and hard work to dislodge men who
are familiar with the ground and are
well entrenched. and it is especially
important that there be no bloody re-
pulse at the outset
The war is only five weeks old, and
great deal in the way of preparation
for land fighting has been done in that
time. Much more remains to be done,
but it is being hurried as fast as is
consistent with its very great impor-
lance.

ABOUT HAY FEVER.
Season is Approaching When Lots O
People Will Suffer.

"The season is approaching" said a
prominent physician recently, when
a great many people will suffer from
what is known as hay fever, and as
but few who are susceptible to the
complaint know how to avoid, much
less to cure it, few remarks about
the nature and treatment of the all
ment may not be uninteresting.
'Hay fever is a nervous affection
usually, most prevalent during the
spring and early summer, from which
the poorer classes and more especially
those living in populous towns rarely
If ever suffer. 1t is known only to the
educated, whose nervous systems are
highly developed, and, though not in
any sense dangerous, it is at all times
very irritating and troublesome The
smell of hay, grass, the pollen of flow
ers, the odor of fruit, dust or draught
will generate the complaint or excite
an attack in persons subject to it, but
rain or damp weather invariably
brings relief. At one time it was gen
orally supposed that the oder of hay
when being mOwn or carted could
induce the affection which is closely
analogous to asthma, but recent obser-
walton shows that its prevalence is
entirely Independent of the existence
of hay fields and is really a nervous
arrangement.
"A visit to the seaside, trip to sea
or residence in populous town viii.
however, remove the asthmatic tell
dency, but one of the best remedies is
tobacco smoke, retained in the mouth
as long as possible and then elected
through the nostrils. The inhalation
of the steam of ten drops of creosote
in pint of hot water is as good, or
twenty drops of spirits of camphor to
the same quantity of water makes a
very effective inhalation. But the af-
lection being a nervous one, tonics
and nourishing diet are more essential
than any of these palliatives, which
merely afford temporary relief"

BRITISH APPRECIATION.

What does it matter to the United
States if victory costs them half mil
lion of men, or five hundred millions
of debt? Taxes on liquor and tobacco
will pay for everything, anr as for
lives, throughout the American civil
war the more sanguinary battle the
more eagerly brigades of half-drilled
but perfectly armed volunteers pre-
sented themselves in front. Only
France could defend Cuba, for we shall
not; and if France were rash enough
for such an adventure, America would
endure her declaration of war with
tranquility, and within eighteen
months would have produced fleet
before which even that of France
must perforce recede.-London Spec

The thorough reorganization now in
progress On the Vanderbilt roads
shows that capable railroad managers
have come to the conclusion that in
the more thickly populated parts of
the United States railway gross earn
iDgs have about reached the maximum
and that any increase in the returns to
stockholders must come from more
careful economy in operating expenses.
And this is decidedly encouraging for
the future value of American railroad
