With us he's walked through many hapI years.
And won his many friends with words unspoken.
For kindness unsurpassed his neighbors all can
saw
A heart so noble and SO free
In those glad years it seems though but day,
He has accomplished more than can see.
A loving father and husba nd kind,
His home was happy while ne stayed.
But God knows BEST ITO us 1t seems so blnd,'
And makes path where no one is afraid.
For with His mighty arm He guides the way,
Across the stream that leads us to his land,
There is no night but everlasting day,
When we have crossed the bright and shining

This same great God can comfort all who mourn
If with Him they will all their burdens place,
Can heal the wounds so fresh and quickly torn,
And keep us in His ever bounteous grace.

Government Has Expended Nearly
100000 in This Direction.
Since the war preparations were begun,
forty eight vessels of all types and classes
have been added to the naval strength.
They range from tiny harbor defense tor
pedo-boats to the fast cruisers New Or
leans and Albany, and include steam
yachts, ocean-going tugs, Golfers, an am
bulance ship, auxiliary cruisers, the ves-
sells Of the revenue-cuttcr service, and the
lighthouse tenders, which have lately
been impressed. OF the total number Of
vessels now subject to the orders of the
Navy Department, about thirty have been
purchased outright by the government,
either at home or in Europe, and only
about one-ffth of them are yet in condi-
ton for service with the regular war YES
sells. The amount paid for these vessels
has not been announced, but approximate
ly it is understood that the newly pur-
chased vessels have cost the navy so far
nearly $4,000, 900. of which onethird was
paid for the ships bought abroad.

TO RAISE FUNDS.
Committee Agrees Upon a Plan for
War Revenue.

Committee Agrees Upon a Plan for
War Revenue.
The Ways and Means Committee
agreed upon plan for raising revenue in
case of need, to carry on war with Spain.
The plan will raise more than 500, 100000
additional revenue annually, and is thus
distributed:
An additional tax on beer of 81 a bar
rel, estimated to yield $50, 900, 600; q bank
stamp tax, on the lines of the law of
1866, estimated to yield $3O,000,O0O; a
duty of 3 cents pound on coffee and 10
cents pound on tea, and like amount
of internal tax on stocks of coffee and tea
on hand in the United States, estimated
to yield $2S,0O0,OO0; additional tax on to-
bacco, expected to yield $15,000,000.
The committee also agreed to authorize
the issuing of $500, 100000 bonds. These
bonds are to be offered for sale at all post
offices in the United States in amounts Of
$50 each, making great popular loan to
be absorbed by the people.
To tide over emergencies, the Secretary
of the Treasury will be authorized to is
sue treasury certificates. These certif-
Gates or debentures are to be used to
pay running expenses when the revenues
do not meet the expenditures. These pre-
parations are distinctly war measures and
would be put in operation only should war
occur.

Coal Used on Locomotives.

It will perhaps interest many readers
to know how much fuel a locomotive
burns. This. of course, depends upon
the quality Of fuel, the work done, tho
speed and the character of the roed.
On freight trains the average consump-
ton may be taken at about I TO l11f
pounds of coal per car per mile. With
passenger trains, the cars Of which ere
heavier and the speed higher, the coaa
consumption is greater. A freight train
of 80 cars at speed of 80 miles an
hour would therefore burn from 900 to
1850 pounds of coal per hour. -,

not take the view that the fever otigina

land, held that it was introduced by en-
ran refugees who met at Ocean SPRINGS
IN June to arrange a filibuster,ng expedi-
ton. This theory AS generally accepted
Is disproved by the committee, which
mas that the fever got into the country
AS early as April and came from Gua.e-
mRla
The existence of fever was not discov

and the utmost researches hitherto have

IT. was introduced by II family of residents
OF Mississippi, who had been temporarily
staying In Guatemala and who came to
the United States on the Central Amert-
can steamer Breakwater Their baggage
was not fumigated or dis'nfected. They
went direct to Ocean springs. Within
few days fever broke out in their i'm
mediate vicinity and FROM that time fever
OF some character prevailed at OCEAN
Springs all summer, although not dag
nosed as yellow fever until September,
The committee attributes the introduce
ton of fever to the fact that ouarantines
Of the Gulf States against West Indies
and Central America only go into effect

lier 10 assure protection.
The committee found that the damage
done by fever was greater than estima-
ted. The loss to business in the State
during the scare WAS % to 40 per cent.
and property on the Mississippi sound
has shrunk so per cent in value because
of the fever. The expense of the various
quarantines in vogue was found to run
as high as So, goo for many counties.
The committee recommends the re-
moval of the Ship Island quarantine as
injurious to property on the Gulf coast
and the adoption of uniform system of
quarantine for all of the Gulf States.
