among the oaptorA
The term 'prize money" has wider
significance than the term "prize, and
extends to any reward granted by the
state for the capture of enemy's proper
ty, whether by land or sea. In the Unit
ed States, according to the act Of 1864,
the whole proceeds go to the captor
where the prize IL of superior or equal
force to the oaptor. This fact Is deter
mined by the court. Where the prize Is
of inferior force the oaptor receives one
half the proceeds and tho other half
go~ to the pension fund of the govern
ment A bounty Of 5000 is awarded by
the government where the prize is Of
equal or superior force to the captor and
800 where the prize Is Of inferior force.
The commanding officer Of a feet OF
squadron receives one-twentieth Of the
proceeds of the capture, the commander
of the division one-fftieth, the feet
captain one-hundredth and the COM
mander Of q single vessel assisting In
the capture one-tenth Of the amount al
lotted to the vessel. The rest Of the crew
shares in proportion to the pay they re-
ceive from the government. The prize
money is turned over to the treasury Of
the United States at its nearest subde-
partment and is distributed in accord
ance with the decree Of the court. The
distribution Is made by the commanding
officer Of the feet and the paymaster.

shal who has the custody and care Of
the capture receives one-fourth Of per
cent as his compensation. The prize
commissioners receive a salary Of $3, 600
a year when their service covers that
period. Otherwise their compensation is
fixed by the court, as Is the pay of the
other officers Of the court. Privateers
. may be awarded the entire proceeds Of
a prize unless it is otherwise provided
in her commission. In the absence Of
any special agreement the proceeds are
divided equally between the owners OF
the privateer and the ships company.
In the United States salvage on re-
capture is allotted according to circum-
stances. It is also noteworthy fact
that some countries, notably England.
have held that although naval prize
vests in the sovereign the captors have
an insurable interest in their prize inn
mediately after capture and before con-
demnation on the ground that the cap
tors have certain expectation Of profit
upon the safe arrival Of the prize in
port and ON the ground that they are
liable in damages and costs should the
capture prove unjustifable. San Fran

Destined tn Re the Most Enicient That

A Berlin paper. The Tagliche Rund-
schau, touching on the proposed Anglo
American alliance, remarks in its
naughty, patrician way:
America. with its mish mash OF
wante pieces of nationality, millions of
emigrants, with the English tongue and
black. red and yellow skins, suddenly
becomes an Anglo-Saxon racel"y
Precisely. We are as startling to the
aristocrat as interesting TO the ethnolo-
gist. The republic is a gigantic ANAL
gamating mill. Persons like the Berlin
editor, peasants, impoverished wretches
for whom there is no room in Europe.
no chance to make living come here
and are made over into men. Citizens
are manufactured out of clodhoppers,
and the children Of intellectual and
physical runts from the old world be-
come bright, active, well nourished
Americana That is the glory Of this re-
public. Liberty means opportunity for
the common man--the man who does
the work and is taxed and fed down to
within an inch Of his life in the land OF
his ancestors. A human being can be
one here instead Of serving as beast
of burden for the nobility and gentry.
We are producing the American race
in America The raw material, as our
scornful Berlin friend observes, Is COM
posed of q "nish mash Of waste pieces
Of nationality, millions Of emigrapts
we all spring from emigrants--but the
result is destined to be the most efii-
cient and decent and self respecting
and freest amalgam that has graced the
globe Even at the present stage Of prog

other population, bar none. And it is
growing SO rapidly in stature, breadth
Of shoulders and brain power that the

scHLEY A HUMoRIsT.
How tho Commodore Won the Approval
Of . Party Of Visitors.

How tho Commodore Won the Approval
Of Party Of visitors.
Flying Squadron" Schley has always
been a popular officer among the men
forward ON ships under his command.
One Of the ex-bluejackets now in Wash
ington tells story Of Schley that shows
him tosbe something of humorist. A
number of years ago Schley was in
command Of one Of the old navy ships
that was fitting out at the Brooklyn ma
Wy yard for foreign cruise Now, naval
officers of the wardroom carry lot of
good beer along with them when they
start out ON a cruise. They are not
heavy drinkers of beer, but they use it
at mess with their meals. The beer is
taken aboard in bottles packed in straw
in immense hogsheads. A few days be-
fore Schley's ship was to sail for a for
eign station q big party Of Brooklyn
Sunday school teachers visited the ship
in body. The party was composed
equally Of men and women. The crew
were engaged in slowing and breaking
out stores. On the main deck stood one
of the big hogsheads packed Full of beer
bottles that had been emptied. The
hogshead filled with empty bottles was
about to be hoistcd. AS the bottles
stuck out Of the packing straw there
was no way of telling whether they
were filled or empty. The Sunday
school teachers figured il that the bot
ties were loaded, and they looked upon
the hogshead with eyes Of disapproval.
They had q conference among them
selves over that hated hogshead. and
they determined to send an emisss.ry to
the skipper, who was Schley, about it.
Schley receiAed the emissary in his cab
in.
"Sir," said the messenger. "It is re-
grettable to observe the huge quantity of
liquid intoxicants your vessel is receiv-
ing"
Schley is quick minded man, and
he knew that the hogshead was what
allied the emissary. But he didn't let ON.
"How's that?'' he inquired.
The emissary told about the enormous
hogshead filled with beer bottles.
"It is simply shocking" he said.
Shocking! Well, should say sol''
exclaimed Schley. "I'll attend to the
matter at once"
Schley rushed out of his cabin, fol-
lowed by the emissary.
"Bo'sun's mate" called out Schley
as soon as he reached the main deck,
"send me few hands at once"
The hands were aft instantly.
"Rig tackle and dump that hogs
head over the side," ordered Schley.
The sailors, who knew the bottles
were empty, grinned, but in jiffy they
had the hogshead over the side and at
the bottom. The Sunday school teachers
looked ON approvingly and when the
hogshead had disappeared they hocked
around Schley and told him what fine,
noble example he was setting. Schley
took it all with becoming modesty. For
the fun he had out of it he paid cou-
pie of dollars into the wardroom mess
for the loss of the empty bottles, which
should have been returned to the bother.

Professor Alvin P. Barnaby, President Of
Hartsville College, at Huntsville, Ind, has
learned the method by which professional
men or business men, or anyone whose
duties are too much for their strength, may
repair their shattered health.
Graduates of the college in aft parts Of
the world will rejoice to learn that President
Barnaby has fully recovered from the break
down that threatened to end his Useful career.
He IS a new man, mentally and physi-
cally energetic, enterprising, foil of vitality.
He tells his own story.
To begin at the Beginning" ne said, II
studied too hard while at school.
"After completing the theoloeical course
accepted the charge of United Brethren
Church at small town In Kent Co, Mich.
"Dligent work and study finished the
breakdown OF my constitution, which be-
gan at school.
My chief trouble was indigestion; this
with other affections, caused nervousness.
My physician sent me away for rest and
change Of scene and improved somewhat.
Soon afterward came to the college as
professor in physics and chemistry. My
nervous trouble returned.
II suffered complete prostration.

"At length, one day, Professor Bowman,
our instructor in natural science, came to
me and advised me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They had cured
him Of an illness similar to my own.
II resolved to take his advice.
The first box Of pills did me good.
The second box gave great relief, s0eh as /
had never experienced from the treatment
OF any physician.
Six boxes of the pills cured me. ] feel
better and stronger than for years. ] cer-
tainly recommend the medicine"
To strengthen his testimony IN the eyes
of strangers the professor made affidavit to
its truth before Lyman ]. Scudder, a local
Notary Public.
The cure of Professor Barnaby was eff
tected by restoring tone to the nervous sys-
tenn, the weakness Of which caused his IN
digestion, and was the reason for his break
down. The pure, powerful vegetable IN
gradients of the pills supply the elements
necessary to build the wasted nerve cells, and
by purifying the blood, assist IN the cleans
ing and upbuilding of the entire system.
he almost miraculous power of the
pills has been exhibited in thousands Of
cases like that of Professor Barnaby, prov
ing them to be natures specific for the ner-
vous breakdown so common among hard
workers. s
All druggists sell Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and count them
among the most valuable medicines that
scientific research has ever revealed.
