LIEUTENANT HOBSON
Is or THE RIGHT KIND or STUFF TO
BE A HERO.

Birmingham. Ala, June i.-Lieut.
Richmond T. lIGbsnn, the hero Of the
Merrimac. was born az Greensboro.
Hale county, Alabama, July l., 1870.
lie is son OF Judge james II. Hob
son, one OF the most prominent law
yers in west Alabama, aud for twenty
years probate Judge OF Hale county.
His mother Is daughter of the late
Judge Pearson, who, before the war,
was chief Justice OF The supreme court
Of North Carolina, and is sister OF
Congressman Richmond Pearson OF
that State, for whom Lieut.. Hobson
is named.
Judge Hohson and wife are both
members OF aristocratic North Caro-
lima families, and came To Alabama as
groom and bride soon after the war.
Lieut.. IlUbsun, their second son, began
his education at the Southern Uni
'ersity at Greensboro, Ala, at the age
of Is, entered competitive examiu :
tion for appointment to the Unite
States naval academy, and made a
splendid record He graduated Mt the
head OF class OF thirty-fyc at An
napolis. being the first Southern boy
winning such distinction since the
civil war. lie was then chosen as ono
Uf three to study naval architecture
at The French naval school in Paris.
On graduating with first hnn0rs there,
he was appointed assistant naval con-
structOr with the rank Of lieutenant.
He has since served at the Washing |
bon, Brooklyn and Newport News
navy yards, taking sea duty with the
cruiser New Imk at the outbreak Of
the present war Lieut.. Uubson's re.
cord shows him to be remarkably !
brilliant man, yet he is as unasSuming
and as modest as a girl lie is ex-
tremely conscientious. ard his friends |
say thatthiS element Of character had |
quite as much to do with his act Of
daring at Santiago as did his great
courage. He is one Of the sort who,
when he feels that duty has called
him, will not hesitate to respond.
though in so doing he must face death
itself. 1t was this conscieniouSn ness
which rendered him very unpopular
while he was senior at Annapolis.
When serving in an official capacity,
he disregarded the custom of not lc-
porting seniors fol breaches Of dis
clpline. showing no fayuritism, but
reporting all alike. For this his fcl-
low seniors ostracized ani tauntrd
him, but he paid no heed and when
he graduated with highest hunors
friends and cncmies alike showered
congratulations upon. Lieut.. HobSon
has ever been a close student and Il
hard worker. He has strong religious
inclnati0ns and is a kind Of dutiful
son, and Is an especial fayorte of his
mother who idulizcs him and to whom
he is verf devoted.
TIE lIobsun family is quite remark
able. James HUbson, brother Of
Lieut.. HobsUn, has just won sc0lar-
ship at West Point, through cumpeti.
tive examination Another brother,
S. A. Hobs0n, is brilliant lawyer and
editor at Tuscaloosa, and prominent
leader in Populite politics. His faith
or is one Of the ablest lawyers in west
Alabama, where he enjoys the widest
confidence, having served twenty
years in one office.

offered Il position as a reporter, with

Consider what must be involved in
the truth that God is infinite and that
you are part of his plan.
Memorize some of the Scripture
promises, and recall them when the
temptation to worry returns.
Cultivate spirit of gratitude for daily
mercies.
Regard worrying as an old. enemy
which destroys your happiness.
Realize that it can be cured by per-
sistant effort.
Attack 1T definitely as something to
be overcome.
Realize that it never has done and
never can do the least good. 1t wastes
vitality and impairs the mental fac

Forgive your enemies and conquer
your diversions.
Induce others TO join the Don't

That is a good hand which is put

mood told the following:

A GREAT MAN GONE.
Close of the Life of William Ewart
Gladstone.
Death Comes Peacefully to the Fa-
nous Statesman I'm the Early Morn
ing HOurs-A Sketch of His
Remarkable Career.

Hawarden, May 19.--William Ewart Glad
stone died this (Thursday) morning at five
o'clock
Mr.. Gladstone had been unconscious prac-
tically all day, though at times he seemed
to recognize for a moment some of the
watchers about him. Certainly he did rec
ognize his wife, who was beside him all day
except when the physician prevailed upon
her to rest. She tenderly clasped her hus-
bands hand as she watched him. Appar-
emily he slept a good deal; occasionally he
uttered a few words in an incoherent,
dreamy way, words which those who were
watching were unable to catch. Their only
consolation was that he was not suffering
pain. No narcotics were administered.
Though national funeral will prob
ably be accepted by the family, there is
little doubt that the remains of Mr.. Glad
stone will be laid to rest in the peaceful
graveyard of Hawarden adjoining the
church where he was married more than
half a century ago.
According to the description of the i'll
ness given by DR.. Dobie, Mr.. Gladstone's
heart had been weaker and liable to fall
ure for the last IS months or two years.

Prince bismarck Utters Words of
Criticism of Americas Posi-
ton in the Crisis.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 10.-The cold
and rainy. weather has increased Prince
Bismarck's neuralgia and aggravated
the swelling of his legs, and he has
been unable to leave his bed for several
days. DR.. Schwen;nger is again here,
and is disquieted about his patient
The prince, therefore, is unable to re-
ceive visitors, but correspondent from
members of the family has been able to
obtain the views of the former chan
celior on the war and the suggested
Anglo-Saxon alliance, as expressed by
the prince during his most recent talk
at the table. In substance they are as
follows: Prince Bismarck condemns
the war outright. He says ii is due to
systematic American provocation,
which finally became unbearable. He
added:
The whole course of the Washington ad-
ministration has been insincere. My views
of war are well understood l have always
held that 1t is only defensible after all
other remedies have failed. The result of
the war cannot be wholes some either to
America or Europe. The United States
will be forced to adopt an intermeddling
policy. leading to unavoidab BILE frictions
She thus abandoned her traditional peace
policy, and, in order to maintain her Do
sition, she must become a military and
naval power-an expensive luxury which
her geographical position rendered unnec-
essary. Americas change of front m ans
retrogression in the high sense of civiliza-
ton. This is the main regrettable fact
about the war;"

THIS IS A "HOT" ONE.

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 9Th, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such a llanner that he re-
manned doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
OF the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant. My
attention was then called to Aliens Ulceripe
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once. 1t at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu.
lated healthy discharge. We kept the
beef's blood and wine, and in about two
months he was well on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. 1t
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. / believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced it's use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be-
gan to use the Salve. Signed, II. E. WOODS,

A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.
From the Mail, Milford, Ind.

Miss Emma Rybolt, prepossessing school
girl of Milford, Ind, is of more than usual
intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the
literary world.
'In the fall of 1885," said Mrs. Rybolt,
dent and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
planned of pains in her back, chest and limbs
A few weeks passed and she grew worse.
The doctor said she was a victim of ner-
vous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier. She gradu-
ally grew worse, her nerves were so tense
that the least noise irritated her and she had
fever and a continual twitching in her
muscles. The symptoms were much like
st. Vitus' dance.
