GOLD continues to pile up in the
treasury and in the country at large,
all the products OF the farm are quoted
at high prices, business is steadily in

are the reports that come in from ev-

A Miniature Monarchy.

THE ships company" of man-of
war is like q small limited monarchy,
10 which the captain is the monarch, his
power is limited only by the "Articles
for the Better Government OF the navy
of the United States - otherwis
known as the Articles of War. aud the
orders and regulations of the navy de-
partment. With this restriction, his
word is law; his mandates must be OBJ
eyedto the letter by all on board.
The commissioned officers are the
nobles, the aristocracy. Between them
and the crew there is social gulf Is
wide as that between q British peer
and shopkeeper. There is none but
official communication between these
two elements; yet the officer has the
nobleman's solicitude for his people,
and the men have the corresond-
ing respect, loyalty, and oftentimes AZ
lection for their officers.
The Ourghers are the warrant officers
the bostswain, gunner, sailmaker
and carpenter. all worthy, important
men, entitled to the prefix "Mr." be-
either superior or interiors.
The naval cadets or 'smiddies'' are
the student class.
The crew represents the great body
OF the people. In it are to be found the
representatives OF nearly evey trade.
There are the "yeomen," as they are
technically termed, who are the clerks
and storekeepers. The psymaster 8
yeomen keep record of and serve out
the clothing and miscellaneous stores
consumed by the ships company; the
ships yeoman is the storekeeper for
cordage, oil, canvas hardware and the
like; the engineers yeOman lie the Gus
todisn of the mechanics tools, spare
pieces of machinery and general en-
gineer's supplies. There are phar-
macists, ebay men," or nurses, electri-
clans, carpenters, machinists, black
smiths, painters, tsilors, snip's-writers,
printers, bakers. and, naturally, the
essentially nautical artisans, such as
calkere, riggers and the like.-Harp-

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A
RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Effort in Getting Ammunition and Ra-
lions to the Front Saved the Day.
P. f Butler, of pack-train No. B,
writing from Santiago de Cuba. on July
23d, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain 3 Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact. l sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for If the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way OF getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa,
and know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines,
Iowa. For sale by all druggists.

GREAT LOSS OF SHIPPING.
blizzard Makes Havoc in Boston
HarbOr and Vicinity.

Boston, Nov. 29.-Tugs returning to
this city at noon yesterday, after tours of
the harbor, report about IS vessels OF all
sizes ashore or sunk in or near Boston
harbor.
Seven large schooners and two Balti-
more coal barges are completely wrecked
and it is estimated between rs and 80
lives have been lost. Only one body has
vet been recovered. More than a dozen
are reported in the surf at Hull and eff.
forts are being made to recover them.
Daylight yesterday morning revealed
the awful havoc of the storm in Boston
harbor. Not since 1852 have the ele-
ments caused such destruction of prop
erty and loss of life so near the city.
The tugs sent out to explore the har-
Dor found on every shoal and reef some
recovered vessel being dashed to pieces
by the waves. The raging waters thus far
prevent any attempt to recover the bodies
seen floating among the debris and it may
be days before an accurate list OF those
lose can be obtained. The list of deaths
thus far reported follows:
From the schooner Calvin Baker, three
unknown sailors drowned and one frozen
in the rigging.
Schooner Abel G. Babcock, entire crew.
supposed to number nine, names UNI
known.
Schooner Samuel w. Tilton, all hands
lost, supposed to number four.
From other wrecks in the harbor, ID
men.
AS far as is now known 20 vessels were
wrecked in Boston harbor and vicinity.
The names of only portion of them are
known.
