Charged with Arson.

Ellicott City, Nd, June 29.-Walter
Clark, who was already in Jail on Il
charge of larceny, and Elmer Wiles, had
warrants served upon them yesterday,
charging them with setting fire to and at
tempting TO burn the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad station. in Elicott City. on the
night of June 13. The fire. which was dis
covered in time to save the building, was
started in the ticket office, pile of pa
pers and books having been thrown on the
floor to give it n good start. The object
is supposed TO have been the robbery of
places of business after the fire should
attract the townspeople. the station being
a large building near the center of the
town.

Spaniards and Dirt.

The Spaniards have always had antipathy
TO water. There was once Spanish queen who
made VOW that she would not change her linen
until a certain city, then being besieged. should
surrender. and the siege lasted about year. A
Spanish historian of the Conquest of the Granada
Speaks thus sneeringly about the Moors and
their addiction TO water: water is more neces-
sary to these infidels than bread. They make use
their damnabe religion, and employ it in baths
and in thousand other idle and extravagant
NODES of which We Spaniards and Christians
make but little account" The horrible sanitary
state of Havana and other Cuban cities and the
unspeakable filth of Havana hrbcr, which for
three centuries has received the sewage of that
city without once being cleaned out, shows that
the modern Spaniards have made no progress In
that virtue Of cleanliness which good Christians
of more advanced rations hold to be next to
godliness

RADpoTZ SUBMARINE BOAT.
A Successful Test Was Made Yester-
day Mt Milwaukee,.

Milwaukee. Wis, June 29-The Rad
dotz submarine boat was given sue
cessful test of an hour and quarter un-
der water yesterday afternoon. The
test. however. was sufficient to prove
that the boat can operate successfully
under water.
The boat was only submerged to Il
depth which did not quite obscure the
two small coming towers. On the top of
one of the towers is a camera arrange
ment. 1t shows the images of all bod
les on the surface of the water. and
would be of great service in locating
boat against which a torpedo might be
fired.
The boat moved through the water at
the rate of eight knots an hour.

Among the curious things connected with the
Goldfish is the frequency of large stones being

1t is popular belief among fishermen that these

That Reported Battle.

Inasmuch as the report that Schley
had forced an entrance into Santiago
harbor and engaged the Spanish fleet
comes from Spanish sources and ad-
mits that the Americans gained an ad-
vantage, the only reason to doubt its
correctness is that ii may be a ruse to
delay the movement of troops toward
Santiago.
AT the time this is written no con-
frmation of the report had been re-
ceived and the naval authorities at
Washington were inclined to discredit
it; yet the fact that they have been re-
ported as expecting Schley to do some
thing of the sort tends to intensity the
public's anxiety for authentic news. All
that Is known of Commodore Schley
corroborates the theory that he is the
kind of man who would do Just such
a daring deed.
Schley is not the man to miss a
chance for writing his name alongside
Deweys.

The State Convention.

1t is the wish and hope of the best
Republicans of Pennsylvania that the
state convention at Harrisburg tomOr-
row will place in nomination for gov
ernur a man sufficiently free from fac
tional entanglements and sufficiently
strong i'm personal character and i'm the
elements which give honest popularity
to avert any possibility of an indepen-
dent movement and to poll the party's
utmost strength. Such nomination
is yet possible in spite of assertions to
the contrary, and the making of It
would insure not only a victorious is
sue but the preservation of the splendid
four years ago.
The Republicans of Lackawanna
county offer for the consideration of
the convention Canddate whom they
believe to embOdy these requirements
in the person of William Connell. 1t is
unnecessary to inform the people Of
this community concerning Mr.. Con-
nells career and characteristics; but
on the score of good politics it may be
noted that of the various gentlemen
thus far mentioned for the gubernator-
ial office Mr.. COnnell seems best adapt e
ed to bring harmony out Of chaos. AL
though positive and uncOmpromising,
with a sense of duty which could not
be swcrved by intrigue or bandish-
ment, and absolutely free from pledge
or unworthy obligation, he has influen-
tial friends among all the factions, and
his nomination it is believed would
bring the party together as no other
could.
If the convention is wise it will nomi-
nate Mr.. Connell or some one like him
who will cement rather than separate
the party strength. The name of the
man is Of slight significance compared
with the necessity for concerted and
harmonious party activity. Mr.. Con.
nell, we may say, cherlshes no decep.
tive personal ambitions; the office OF
governor, if it were rendered to him
would represent a serious problem ir
work and worry which man of his
years and cares might well hesitate tC
attempt to solve. His candidacy, eC
far as inspired by himself, has beer
with view more especially to empha
size the growing need of harmony thar
TO crafty personal ambition He anC
his friends, therefore, are entirely con
tent to abide the partys will. They
have made known their views of part,
policy; they have pointed out part!
risks and perls. and it is for the dele
gates of the party in convention as
semhled to record the verdict whicl
makes party law.

war great numbers Of young men OF sim
liar antecedents were appointed to the
staff, and generally they performed thcir
duties with admirable skill and assiduty.
As the staff in time of war Is likely to
be exposed to special dangers, these
young men cannot be accused OF any DIS
position to escape from the porils OF the
military service. As rule. the selections
for these staff places from civil life Scem
to have been made wisely. BeCaus" they
are sons or grandsons Of able ana proml-
ucnt men Is infcrentially point in their
favor. They have an inheritance OF ahlI-
ity, and presumably there is In them the
pride of charaC CtCr which Is always n Nal-
liable resource for a young man in the
trials ana under the hardships and dam
gers of actual warfare
O.
the cagcrness Of such young mon TO re-
spOnd to the call to arms II one OF the
most hopeful indications of this time 1t
shows that there is no dcgcneracy in the
American race ana that the long inter-
val of peace has not weakened the energy
of our youth. Whether they go infO the
military service as enlisted men merely
as so many OF them have done and are
doing, or as commissioned officers, theN
exhibit the same courage ana patnoul
devotion In each capacity the strength
Of their manhood Is likely TO be put tc
the scvcrest test; and moreover, the cN'
pcriCnCe of war proves thdt the Officer
whether of the staff or the line, Is even
more i'm danger of wounds and death thar
the enlisted man.

a soldier at Tampa lately wrote to a
library committee for a pocket bible,
saying that, although he was not super
stitious, he believed a man could fight
better after reading the bible and was
sure he could sleep better with one
under his pillow. At last accounts this
particular cavalryman was receiving
an embarrassment Of riches in the way
Of bibles, and his entire troop was en-
joying temporary immunity from
visitations of pincushions, penwipers
and needlebOOks.

AS TO AREA AND POPULATION.


From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is early to speculate what effect the
var will have on the area ana popula-
ton of the United states. No territory
has as yet been annexed, and while the
Spanish power appears to be permanently
broken in the Philippine Islands, and
cuba is virtually under American con-
troll and Porto Rico is at the mercy of
the American fleet no one Of them is ac-
knuwledged as under the jurisdiction or
the American government. And even
Hawaii, which has been freely offered to
us. is compelled to stand on the door
step waiting our pleasure.
But admitting that all these Islands will
become parts of the United States as a
result of the war with Spain 1t will cause
u sensible il crease in the area OF this
cauntry's possessions and u big jump in
it's population. The area of the islands
that may be wrested from Spain is pretty
we'll known, but the population cannot be
estimated very closely. II can be APP
proximately computed, however. TAX
ing these islar DIS and the Hawaiian
Islands and the following table can be
constructed:

~ ONE newspapers of mschievous
w and malicious disposition are seek
~ ing TO provoke popular dsCOntcht
WI by pretending that because COM
missions have been given to a
score or more of young men from civil

have been sacrificed to reward undeserv-

The truth is, as We explained particu-

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR lNDlGES
TION,
As ven as the safegt and Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, SJuart's Dys
pepsa Tablets, digest the food instead of
making the worn out stomach do all the work,
give it much needed rest, and cure of
dyspepsia is the natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the same
time because these Tablets will thoroughly
dieest all wholesome food taken into the
stomach whether the stomach works or not.
A cure is certain to result because the diges-
tive organs are given a chance to rest and re-
cover their natural vigor and tone. The
Tablets are then no longer required.
To show the manner in which the remedy
acts on different people and how quickly and
eftectually it cures stomach troubles we pre-
sent a few recent cases.
Mr., J. O, Wondly, Of Peoria, Ills, writes
I was unable to eat anything but the plainest
food and even that often distressed me- but

Tablets can eat anything and everything 1

am thankful for them.
Mrs. A. f. Bowen, Barnard, VI. writes
I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tn
best thing for dyspepsia ever took. wi
recommend them to anyone troubled as bad q
/ was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not disaI
point because they cure Dyspepsia surely an
lastingly by causing the food to be properl
assimilated, and cure constipation by pre-
ducing the proper quantity of bile. Sold by a
