Did you ever notice that when

A WOMAN AS A GUNNER.

Since the time of Alexander there
has been one, and only one, record of
a woman who fought behind the guns
of battieship. This woman was the
wife of a gunner on Admiral Rodney's
flagship. During a certain hot en-
gagement with the French, so the
story goes, Admiral Rodney saw, to
his very great surprise, woman
serving one of the guns with all the
energy and skill of a trained gunner.
This was a fragrant breach of disci-
pine; but the Admiral said nothing
just then. When the victory was won
he went to the woman and demanded:
What are you doing here?"
Fighting the French, your honor.
Ny husband is wounded and down in
the cockpit, so I took his ploce. And
why not, your honor? Do you think
[ am afraid of the French?"
The admiral reprimanded and sent
her ashore; but before he did so he
gave her ten guineas as a reward for
her bravery.

a home rule measure for Ireland and
this created dissension in the liberal
ranks and practically broke up the
party. The bin was rejected by a
majority of 80. Mr.. Gladstone then
appealed to the country, but was
overwhelmed as a result. Mr.. Glad
stone resigned without meeting par
lament and Lord Salisbury became
prime minister for the second time
on Aug. 3, 1886. During 1892 Mr..
Gladstone carried out yet another and
a most vigorous campaign in Mid
lothian. He was elected but by
greatly reduced majority, and for the
fourth time he became premier In
April, 1893, Mr.. Gladstone moved the
second reading of another home rule
bill for Ireland in the house of com
mons, but the bill was thrown out by
the lords. During his stay at Biarritz
in February, 1894, a London journal
announced Mr.. Gladstone's retire
ment, but the report was contradicted
turn to England the rumor was re-
newed and in the midst of the I'M
certainty Mr.. Gladstone delivered his
last speech as prime minister in the
house of commons on the first day
Of March-the occasion being the
lords amendment to the parish coun-
ellis bill. The next day his resigna-
ton was made public and the dis
coVery that the premier was suffering
from cataract in both eyes was given
as the chief cause for such a decisive
step. On March Mr. Gladstone in
an audience with the queen, gave up
the seals of office. A successful OPP
Grafton was performed two months
later by which the cataract was re-
moved. His long connection with
the house Of commons terminated in
1895, as he did not seek reelection.
He was active in political life for
over so years, since his election from
Newark in December, 1882. He was
born at Liverpool in 1909.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Hark to the rich martial music
AS it floats through the valleys so
grand;
All the hills with glad echoes are
Ginning
The free airs of our own native
land;
Rolling back in an anthem of glory
Bold melodies wave after wave,
And they tell to all nations the story
How Columbia doth honor her
brave.
Garlands, fresh garlands are blending
All their tints with the Red, White
and Blue,
And the sky, in the glow of the sun
light
Sends back from above every hue.
All nature is decked with adornings-
The fairest that God ever gave;
And she joins with nation to honor
With her splendors the graves of
the brave.
Veterans are marching with banners,
Shoulder to shoulder they tread
Up the long streets that are leading
To the beautiful homes of the dead.
Sadly they step to the music
And their faces are sober and
Comrades in battle are sleeping
Meath the willows, the sleep of the
brave.

says Polo is paying out $500 day

which point they are cabled back to
the United States. Canadian detec-

that he is violating the neutrality
laws the Canadian authorities will put

or make desperate dash for Porto

fancy is the intention Of the Spanish
admiral. It is thought that the Span

are maneuvering to mislead Sampson
and draw him from Cienfuegos. For

The report is being circulated that

come from Madrid that the Cape Verd
! feet is at that place and that a bonn
| bardment has taken place. These re-
ports cannot be verified, but it is be-
IieVed that the reported bombardment
! is nothing more than the operations
| Of American vessels attempting to cut
the cables leaving Cuba at that point.
! SIMPSONS feet is believed to be
| guarding this vicinity and if the Span
iards have attempted to make this
port the two fleets have undoubtedly
come together. Later dispatches, how
ever, may fail to confirm these reports,
particu arly as they come through
Spanish sources. It is not believed
that Ceryera is in the vicinity of Ha-
vana, but if so, he will encounter not
only the flying squadron but also the
blockading fleet.

Hawarden, May 19.-WiIliam E.
Gladstone passed away at ) o'clock
this morning. Last night a crisis
came. He rallied for a short time,
and then began to fail rapidly until
the end. Mr.. Gladstone had been IN
conscious practically all day, though
at times he seemed to recognize for
moment some Of the watchers
about him. Certainly he did recog-
nize his wife who was beside him all
day, except when the physician pre-
vailed upon her to rest. She tenderly
clasped her husbands hand as she
watched him.
Though a national funeral will
probably be accepted by the family,
there is little doubt but that the re-
mains Of Mr.. Gladstone will be laid at
rest in the peaceful graveyard at Ha-
warden adjoining the church where
he was married more than half
century ago.
When Mr.. Gladstone returned to
office in November, 1885, just five
months after the liberal defeat, he
announced his readiness to introduce

THE FASHIONABLE VEGETABLE.

At present celery is rising to the
top Of the wave of popularity. There
is good reason for the change. It is
fine appetizer raw, it is a delicious
vegetable when boiled, steamed, fried
or baked. It makes an admirable
soup and a superior salad. When old
1t has medicinal virtues, being an ac-
tive nervine. The seeds dried and
pulverized make celery salt, and this,
mixed with powdered pepsin, makes
an invaluable remedy for many kinds
Of dyspepsia. The root, which most
Americans foolishly throw away
when washed and boiled is a very
wholesome and palatable dish. The
pale green, yellowish tips are fine or
naments for garnishing meats and
salads, and to cap the climax, the
chemist now extracts from the plant
several new medicines of great ef1ca-
cy.
