OdOrs That Captivate.

In ancient Greece and in the East wo-
men availed themselves of perfumes to
captivate the heart OF man. Their rooms
were filled with intoxicating perfumes,
as also was every article of their cloth
ing. There is quite an art in the choos-
ing of a suitable perfume for each season
of the year. The perfume should change
with each change of the season. and in
this We should be guided by nature her

Summer, the odor of fruits for Autumn,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April "a special

mile above the town and from all the
Information that can be secured here
1t Is learned that great part of the
place has been destroyed and that per-
haps a large number of citizens have
been drowned
ShawneetOwn is seventy-five miles
below Evansville, on the Ohio river. 1t
is situated in valley of extremely low
land, with hills skirting it ip the rear
and with a twenty-five foot levee in
front running from hill TO hill. The
town is very much in the position of a
fortified city, and when the leyee gave
way a mile above town under the
pressure of very high river the wa
ter shot through twenty foot opening
and struck the place like a hurricane,
sweeping everything before it.
Houses we're tsrned and tossed about
like boxes. The people were not
warned of the break, and for that rea-
son so many were caught.
Those at home sought refuge in Sec
ond stories and on housetops. Those
in the streets were carried before the
avalanche Of water and probably ma
jority were drowned.
Citizens came from the place by
skiffs to a telephone several miles
away and asked for aid from Evans
vile. They said that more than 200
people were drowned and they had
reason to believe it would reach 500 or
even 1000.
The water stands from twenty to
thirty feet all over the town.
There are no fires or lights in the
place, and total darkness envelopes the
desolate scene.

4 CHANGE OF HEART.
Mr.. Hawes' Late Acceptance of the Finan'

Mr.. Hawes' Late Acceptance of the Finan-
cial Plank of the Democratic Platform.
From the Albany Herald.
We are not so much surprised at the
candidacy of Colonel HAYES, who con-
fesses that he sis following the prompt
ngs of just and reasonable ambition
to represent the second district In con-
gress ,as We are at his declaration that he
fully and unequivocally endorses the
Chicago democratic platform as the high
est and most authoritative expression of
democratic doctrine AID the true embod-
ment of democTaCc principles"
Has Colonel Halves experienced a
change of mind and heart on the fnan-
cal question since 1896? If our memory
hasn't gone entirely wrong Colonel
HAYES either held views on the money
question which were not in accord with
the financial plank of the Chicago plat.
form in 1896 or else he was unfortunate
enough to be misunderstood and misrep-
resented throughout the district at a
time when the issue was made between
those who stood upon the Chicago plat
form demanding the free and unlimite
coinage of silver and those who opposed
it. If Colonel Halves was not then
counted and rated as shining light
amongst those who pleased to term
themselves ''s1und money men, in OPP
position to what they then derislvely
called the "free silver craze" he should
now either move to amend the record OF
that memorable campaign in this con-
gressional district or rise to a question
of personal privilege and explain; for
the money question, or the silver ques.
ton, if you please, is still very live
issue and will have something 70 do with
the choosing of the democratic nominee
this year lust as it did in 1896.

HORRORS OF NAVAL WAR.
Fearful Scenes and Experiences in a Sea
Battle.

Fearful scenes and Experiences in a Sea
Battle.
No one knows what would be the hor-
roIS of a naval battle between the mod
ern war ships of NO powerful civilized
nations. The first time test was made
of the power of recently constructed ships
was made at the great naval battle of the
Yalu River, of which Captain PhilO Nor
ton McGritfiD, formerly of the United
States navy was the hero. This was
fought on Sept II, 1894, between the Chi
nese and japanese fleets, and resulted in
victory for the "Japs." The Chinese had
ten ships and the Japanese like number
The Chinese ship Chen Yuen was COM
manded by the American, who was one of
the few that lived through the fight
McGritfin would have made fine show
ing had not his men under him proved
base towards.
McGriffin's desc iptiOn of the small
part of the battle he himself saw before
he was totally disabled is stronger than
could be any painting or picture, but
even that falls far short of the reality.
The imagination cannot cope with such
a scene. SuCE sights must be realized
The great ship in the foreground was
the Chen Yuen, Captain Ting command
ing She was battered by four of the
enemy and sunk wi ali on board The
Chen Yuen fought bravely, with McGrif.
fin doing all be could to inspire courage
into the cowardly Chinese. Shells were
bursting all around him. His head and
body were gashed with pieces of steel
Once he pulled piece of shell out of
the side of his head and at once was
struck in the same spot with another
piece, A great fraction of shell swept
across his abdomen and tore il. He fell
and 10 found one of his own guns star
ing at him. He rolled over and dropped
eight fee. below, the blood bursting
from dozen wounds as he struck.
The Chinese thought him dead, but
some water from a hose spurted on his
lace soon revived Kim He was carried
aft, and few seconds later shell burst
on the very spot where he had fallen.
McGrifin died insane in New York
hospital year ago. lie was an Annapo-
lis man and a born fighter. He never
knew what fear meant. On that bloody
day Of the Yalu River fight he saw scores
OF men torn into shreds about him.
Shells grazed him and struck full on
men at his very elbow. But he stuck to
his guns and fought back until, batter
ed and bleeding, deaf and blind, he quit
IN spite of himself. The facts related by
McGritfiu suggest the very serious ques-
ton; Is not the modern battleship a
menance to its very self? would it not
disable its own men? The membranes
OF both McGriffin's ears were split. Tha
gunners of the Chen Yeun were dazed
and deaf, and from what was learned Of
the victorious japanese they were near
er dead than alive when they withdrew
from the action.
And these ships were weaklngs com
pared with the terrible ships of civilized
nations. In fact, no real test of the
modern battleships has been made. Old
navy officers say that the sea battles eff
the civil war made them think they were
under the lid of hell"
