Paine's celery compound has observed
how soon it regulates the bowels and
clears the whites of the eye of that yellow
aundiced look. Another witness of its
invigoratiDg capacity that may escape
he notice Of persons not accustomed to
ordinarily employing this test is its
effect on the pulse. Observe th firm. reg
ular, full pulse that was before uncertain,
fiuttering and feeble.
The great susceptibility of woman to
worry is heightened by the fact that she
leads more confined, monotonous life,
narrowed down to the four walls of home
the greater part of the day. Paine's cele-
ry compound is just what such nervous,
depressed persons need to restore their
nerves to energy and to lift them out of
their constipated, dyspeptic habit of
body.
Paine's celery compound counteracts
the exhausting strain Of work by IT'S
strong inducement to the delicate tissues
to take more food. 1t plainly induces
the nerves and brain to feed themselves
more literally, and has thus saved count,
less men and women from chronic neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, sieeplessness and
failing mental power.
No remedy has been discovered so rich
in flesh forming and energy producing
constituents as Paine's celery compound.

The case of the firing on the United
SUates steamer Chesapeake by the British
snip Leopard, Is another case affording
preceuenG as to the governments mode OF
action. The Chesapeake was pro ceeding
TO sea, when she was hailed by the COM
mander OF the Leopard with demand
that British deserters said to be in the
hold of the Chesapeake be surrendered
The American commander refused to
comply, whereupon the Leopard first sent
shot across the bow of the Chesapeake
and followed this with two broadsides.
Inc American commander was severely
wounded, three sailors were killed out
right and many were wounded. Being
unprepared for action, it being time of
peace the American commander sur
rendered.
Tremendous excitement prevailed in
the United States over this outrage.
President Madison speedily issued
proclamation excluding from American
ports all British warships. He also caused
energetic protests and demands to be pre-
sented at London. The British authori-
ties promptly recalled the admiral under
whom tho outrage had been perpetrated
ana without request rendered an 1ndem-
nifty sufficient to support the widows and
families Of these who had been killed
and wounded
In a later case the American ship Pro-
VI
Greytown. The ship had declined to pay
excessive port charges imposed by the
King Of the Mosquito company, then
controlling the country under British
protectorate. The King called on the
British warship Express to sustain his
demands and the Express promptly sent q
broadside into the Prometheus. There
were no persons killed but the United
States made prompt demand for repara-
ton. The British government gave this
in the fullest manner and without ques-
tion, disavowing the act and condemning
the officer of the Express.
Displays OF force were resorted to by
the United States in 1859 against Japan
and in 1858 against Java. In the case of
Japan, American sailors had been severe
ly handled in Japanese ports and the
native courts failed to give adequate
redress. A naval expedition WAS sent
to Japanese water and this had the effect
of securing the fullest apology and also
an agreement by which every protection
was guaranteed to American citizens and
property in Japan. In the case of Java
the secretary of the navy sent large
naval force to the waters of Java to de-
mand that the native trial courts should
give the fullest protection to Americans.
The expedition was successful In its pur-
pose and all assurances desired were given.

CURRENT NOTES.

Russia has spent over $3.50, 0O0O 600 Tin
naval ornaments during the past seven
years.
In every state where test has been made
populist administration has resulted in saw
ing to the taxpayer and exposure of official
rascality.
An ancient Greek, when asked how he was
getting along, replied II am beginning to be
friend to myself" 1t is time for the Ameri-
can voter to be friend to himself
Repeal the war taxes upon industry and
impose taxes upon plutocratic incomes to pay
the plutocratic bondholders. And, as the
contract so provides,we may as well pay them
in silver.
An encouraging sign of the times is that
our free silver allies, the silver republicans
and democrats are constantly getting closer
to true populist principles. We shall soon
have great and victorious reform party.

TO WHOM MAY CONCERN.

Miss Helen M. Mason has been
most Efficient, earnest and devoted Of
fflcer of the B c c, her whole time
having been given to it from an early
date in it's history. She has worked
much overtime, and this she did I'M
complainingly for month after month.
When all the other national officers
had grown weary she remained at her
post, true to the cause, and she has
rendered most valuable aid in contin-
uing the work and in making effective
the efforts of those who have sought
to extend the usefulness of the &c c.
For all her endless toll and devotion
to duty, she has had a bare main
tenance, and the present national Of
fcers feel that she should have further
reeompense, slightly in keeping with
the value of her services, but they can
see only one way by which they may,
IN some measure, reward a most wor-
thy member, and that is the follow
ing plan: we propose to give Miss
Mason 20 per cent of all subscriptions
taken for Industrial Freedom on the
goth day of Dec. 1898. Now how
many will help us do simple justice to
one of our most faithful and devoted
workers?
Do not forget the date, and be sure
to make special and prolonged eff
fort to send us as large list as posi-
bic all dated Dec. 20, 1898.

1t is incredible that the administration
should even consider the proposition to inn
pose our government upon Cuba and the Phil
ippines without the consent of the people of
those islands. We have no citizens to sacri-
flee to the yellow fever as Spain has been do
ing. We have no right to keep single SOL
der in Cuba after the departure of the Span
iards. and if we do we shall suffer from it.

Cooperative Insurance.

We now have over s., 900 worth of prop
erty liable to destruction by fire. Such loss
would seriously cripple our work. In few
weeks we will have system of waterworks
affording much protection. At present we
have no protection at all. Hence we call on
each of our more than 5000 members to sub
scribe for as many of the 81 shares of insurance
fund as he can pay on short notice. No money
is to be paid in: but in case of fire each will
be called on in. proportion to the amount of
his subscription. Send in your letters at
once, stating how much you will take. We
don't want TO pay extortionate rates to the
old-line companies. and so ask our own men,
bers to carry this risk on their own future
homes. There will thus be no expense at all,
except in case of loss, and then merely enough
money to replace.

OUR MODERN SHIPS OF WAR.
Complicated Machinery Crowding ir

Complicated Machinery Crowding in
Them From Stem to Stern.
While in one sense all warships are
battleships, the craft which bears that
technical name is a steel structure
usually about $50 feet long, 10 feet wide
and 43 feet deep. She weighs, with ev-
erything on board, about 1000 tons.
Her engines can propel her at about Is
knots per hour. Her guns, about As in
all, vary in calibre from the huge 49,
inch, throwing a projectile of 1,150
pounds, to the little Calling of .23 inch,
throwing a bullet weighing about
three-tenths of an ounce. To protect
her engines and her guns, and to in
sure the buoyancy and stability of the
ship, she carries steel armor varying
from to Is inches in thickness; and,
finally, she is the abiding place of some
500 men.
Her chief characteristic is the pre-
dominance of guns and armor, as COM
pared with speed and coal-carrying
capacity in which respect she is the
opposite of the cruiser.
The cruiser preys on an enemy's COM
merce, and swoops down upon his
coasts; therefore, she must have speed
and endurance-speed to enable her to
catch the swiftest ocean greyhounds,
and endurance, which means coal-car-
rying capacity enough to let her steam
around the world, if need be, without
replenishing her bunkers. The Mime
apolis for example, can steam at %
knots per hour, and about half of her
entire weight is that of propelling ma
chinery and coal.
The battleship, on the other hand, is
pure fighting machine. Her normal
endurance is about 1000 miles. In the
Iowa one-half of the total weight is
that of the ship herself, ee-tenths is
guns with armor, and only two tenths
engines and coal. The cruiser is not in
tended to fight any vessels more pow
erful than herself. She runs from a
battleship. The battleship fights any,
| thing afloat.
| Now, what sort of a structure is this?
A huge steel honeycomb-frames and
ribs and plates and braces in every di-
rection. Look at the inextricable tam
gle of them in the shattered Maine No
| more great expanse of deck with the
| tiers of guns in diminishing perspective,
! such as one sees in the old wooden frig-
ates and three-deckers. But compart-
| ments everywhere-272 of them in the
| Indiana. Little steel boxes inclosing
| engines. and box for the helm and
| labyrinthine passages in and out of
and around them where daylight
never gets; and endless doors, doors,
doors-354 water-tight doors and hatch
| es on the Indiana, every one of which
somebody must look after and see
closed when the ship goes into action
| Else why compartments if you cannot
keep them separate, so that if water
| comes in from ram thrust or torpedo
| or shot, you can confine it to one or two
| cells and so prevent the ship from fill
| ing. There are more compartments in
some of the smaller cruisers-the Gin
cinnati has 4S7; but cruisers run and
| battleships do not.
