If you wish to get an ECONOMICAL stove
you will find that the MAJESTIC uses less
coal than ANY stove in the market, as the top
is of the best maleable iron and does not become
porous when heated
All we ask is that you carefully investigate
the merits of this stove before purchasing and
satisfied that you will buy other
Remember want you to take the stove into
your house and try it week and if you are not
perfectly satisfied that it is the stove you
want bring it hack and it does not cost you one
cent.
The stove speaks for itself and the best adj
vertisements the stoves we have placed in
the homes of your neighbors.

tion of the Maine is thought to be
directly avenged Naval officers here
would rather hear Of her destruction
than that of any vessel remaining in
the Spanish navy. She occupied the
berth of the Maine and when the
latter entered Havana harbor it was
to the Alphonso's buoy that the
Maine was moored, while the cruiser
moved her berth to the next station
above. While it has never been es-
tablished who planted the Internal
machine that destroyed the Maine,
the officers of the Alphonso XII
never have been cleared of suspicion,
for it is said that the only practicable
means of planting the mine in the
position where it must have lain
would have been through some
agencies on the Alphonso XII.

May Save Wrecks.

Washington, D. c., July 9-Ad,
vices of an encouraging nature about
the condition of some of the Spanish
vessels sunk or stranded off S4nti.
aso in the engagement of July 3,
were received at the Navy Depart
ment from Admiral Sampson to day.
The Admiral has had an examina-
ton of Cristobol Colon made, and
his report to the Navy Department
indicates that this fine armored
cruiser may be saved; in fact, naval
officials conetrue his telegraphed
statement on the subject to mean
that the Colon will undoubtedly be
preserved if the wreckers get to
Santiago in time.
The Admiral Is also Of the opinion
that fairly good chance OF saving
two of the three other armored
cruisers is afforded, but one of the
armored cruisers and the two de-
stroyers can not be used again.
Admiral Simpsons dispatch reads:
