GLOBULAR LIGHTNING.

A peculiar freak of lightning is re-
lated by Rees Thomas, who resides
near Bellaire. While he and his
daughter and neighbor were stand
ing in doorway noting the progress
of the storm there appeared before
them, only few feet distant, a bunch
Of electricity which burst into several
drops almost liquid in appearance,
more resembling those drops from a
skyrocket than anything else that can
be imagined. A son Of Mrs. Thomas
who was lying on sickbed in an ad-
Joining room saw at the same instant
in his room what appeared to be ball
Of fire which dissolved much the same
as the drops from skyroeket. Mr..
Thomas was greatly alarmed lest his
house had been struck and was on
fire, but not trace of the lightning's
work could be found on the premises.

BEFORE SANTIAGO.
A Washington County Boy in That
Famous Battle.

A Washington County Boy in That
Famous Battle.
We clip the following from an ex-
change. The Mr.. Savage mentioned
is relative of Henry Savage, the lock
tender, of this city:
The following is part of letter
written by Bernard Savage just be-
fore Santiago's surrender, TO his father
near Relief, this county: We had a
pretty hard fight yesterday, but l am
out of it all right, except l got one
shot through my hat and one through
my gunstock, but a miss is as good as
a mile. There were 1000 Spaniards,
all in fortified positions and in breast
works on top of the hill and we wad-
ded right through them. We had few
er men and they had all the best posi-
tions, but they did not have the sand.
We only had II killed and 3S wounded
on our side and we found 61 dead
Spaniards while we were searching for
our own dead and there were over 100
found afterward. G and X troops
drove 500 sharpshooters right out of
their breast works on top of the high
est mountain in the country, but got
within so yards on them before they
run. When they did go we poured it
to them. They left their guns and
ammunition and everything they had.
One Spaniard that we wounded pulled
up his gun and knocked hole
through my hat, but he never pulled
another trigger That saw the closest
shave had. Gen. Wheeler compli-
mented us very highly for what we did
and the President sent message of
thanks. After the battle the English
and Japanese officers that run the
fight said they never saw anything
like it. If the enemy had had any
sand we would all have been wiped out
before we could have got reinforce
ments. We found one of our men
dead with his hand on a Spaniard's
throat and a knife in him and four
other Spaniards piled up around him.
He had killed the whole five of them.
We have driven them all into Santi-
ago and have the town surrounded
and are waiting for our artillery and
we will take the town in few days.
suppose we will have grand 4th of
July and our firecrackers will be load
ed with bullets. 1t is terribly hot over
here, but good soldier can stand any,
thing. We can't get much to eat nor
any tobacco.
We fought our way up the mountain,
We drove them from the heights;
We showed the dusky devils
The Americans style OF fight.
We showed them that Old Glory.
With her stars and stripes so grand,
Was as safe IN hostile Cuba
AS in her native land.
For we will sure protect her
While life and strength remsin-
For we have not forgotten
The sinking of the Maine

HAS SPAIN A FUTURE.

Probably the greatest blessing that
can befall Spain will be the loss of all
her colonies. They have been the
source of her troubles, the cause of
her national decline. They have
brought the curse of gold upon her.
They have diverted the energies and
the expenditures of her people from
her own needs at home. Spain has
magnificent internal resources as yet
undeveloped. Let the energies of her
people once be directed within. and
they will understand what obstacles
have blocked the way so long. Re-
forms will follow. Abuses will be
swept away. Popular enlightenment
will come. With the passing of
Spain's colonial might will dawn the
renascence of Spain.
AS to commercial prosperity, that
should continue upon truer lines un-
der the new conditions. Spanish COM
mercial interests in Mexico are now
on a healthier basis than they have
been in Cuba for long years past, for
in the daughter state they are not
pampered Dy favoritism and privilege.
Independent intercourse with the
severed colonies will continue and
lines of trade will shape themselves
naturally and legitimately. Ancient
rancor will gradually disappear and
Spanish commercial energy may be
depended upon to secure room for it's
exercise. Spain, regenerate, will be
the mother country for the nations of
ultramar that speak her tingue,. in the
same regard that England is mother
to lands in the seven seas, and will
stand second only to England in the
number Of her children.-Review of
Reviews for August.

THE BATTLESHIP.

Oh, men have fought with arrows.
And men have fought with swords,
And the deadly spit from the musket's
mouth
Has withered its coun ntless bordes.
But not for these would / sing a song
Nor raise glass 10 my lip.
Stand up! Now all! pledge health
To the modern batt,eship!
Here's to the graceful battleship,
Beautiful in her strength,
AS she lies at rest on the harbor's
breast,
Swinging an idle length;
A giantess slum bering the hour away.
A tigress at rest in her den;
At rest til the word Of the order is
heard.
"Go, shatter the works Of men,.
Here's to the deadly battleship,
Terrible in the fight;
With each dragons breath See her
belch forth death.
Glorying in her might.
Her eye is keen for an epemy's hull,
And she never misses one,
Till each finds its gave in the bhud-
dering wave
To the knell of a 12-inch gun.
Then here's to the laureled battleship,
Conqueror over all;
We may safely sleep while she rides the
deep,
Ready al dangers call.
We have tried her again and we know
she's true.
And We'll trust her another trip
Her health, first, boys; and then, with
noise,
Three cheers for the battleship.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is onlv Y one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remed les.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.
ditlou OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When thir tube gets in
famed you have umbiny sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its norm
el condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of tue mucous sur

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT AT GIN
CINNATI. M

Nobody will be any better treated
during the National Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Cincinnati, September 9Th to 10th,
than the old soldiers who come with
their posts and are accommodated in
the roomest and newest of the school
houses. A member of the committee
on School houses has been delegated
to take charge of one school house as
officer of the day and he will have two
assistants. Mattresses will be pro-
vided for the accommodation of the
veterans, who, as is customary, will
bring personal articles with them.
The best of sanitary arrangements
have been provided, with wash rooms
and similar adjuncts. Special trips
will be paid to every school house
each morning by some of the city's
best known and most skillful physi-
clans, who have volunteered to serve
in the Medical Corps, and free medi-
cal attendance will be given. Eating
places will be provided for members
of posts as convenient to the schools
as possible. Similar accommodations
to those in the schools will be extend
ed to such of the veterans as desire to
camp out in Camp Sherman. 1t is
predicted that numbers of oIu soldiers
who go into camp will seldom if ever
come down town as the entertain
ment that viii be provided at Chester
Park in the way of operas, fire works,
drills, spectacular shows and
Tie like will give them all they want.
The restaurant at Chester Park will
be attractive, the excellent
meals that have been contracted for
being promised by written agreement
to be furnished the soldiers for 25
cents. In all arrangements the Gin
cinnati Committees have had their
mind on the thousandc of members of
the order who will come, and it is de-
termined that no soldier shall go
away dissatisfied.

WE SHALL GAIN MUCH IN CUBA

In estimating the compensation
which the United States may count
upon for the great expense and losses
of the war with Spain it is mistake
to take account only of such territory
as this country may formally acquire.
That would omit the island in which
we are likely to gain most in the way
of trade and opportunities for busi-
ness and investments. The American
people are destined to gain much in
Cuba, even if they do not bring that
island Immediately within the limits
of the republic.
We shall either absorb Cuba or so
dominate and control that country for
the period during which the estab-
lishment of an Independent govern
ment there is in progress, that its
commercial and industrial relations
with the United States are sure to be
very close. In so far as Cuba may Of
fer opportunities to American enter
prise it will not make much difference
whether the island is annexed or left
independent, under the shadow Of this
great nation and resting upon the
strength of the American republic for
safety and support in time of need.
No one can doubt that in either case
Cuba will be so tied to the United
States in business and financial rela-
tons that its position will be virtual
ly that of dependency.
For this reason 1t is entirely safe to
count upon Cuba as one source of gain
to the American people that will
largely offset the expenses of the war

B. & O.'s BIG BUSINESS.
The Net Earnings are More Than
$1,000, 900.

pibOOV,OVo.
Baltimore, Aug. 2.-The gross earn
ings of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company for the fiscal year ending
June 80, were s27,642,432, an increase
of s2,060,310. These figures do not
include the income from sources other
than operation. The net earnings are
considerably in excess of $1,000, 900, an
increase Of more than $1,50O,000.
These figures represent the biggest
business in the history of the B. & o.
railroad company, but as 10 to IL per
cent less than they would have been,
had rates been maintained, The Bal
timore & Ohio was forced to cut rates
in order to meet competition.

shots of admiration. For the hour he was
unquestioned hero, albeit grave enough
type of the heroic. Mathew sat opposite
to him, trying to catch his eye, but shy OF
making a scene.
Holden initiated his wine card for a bot
tie of volnay and aiterward talked chart
room mysteries with the captain.
A light ground swell listed the ship
lightly, and the bergs of ice in the deep
sea tumbers pinged against the glass like
the dropping of small shot. The portfolio
and yellow heat haze filed the saloon
and touched the skin like prickly fever.
People who are imprisoned for six weeks
catch at excitement with both hands, as a
Gods gift precious beyond PRAYER. To-
night it ran as a whisper through the soup,
and if fish begat steadiness by the joint it
was again rife and bubbled mercurylike
from sweets to salad. 1t was terribly hot
but at coffee time all settled in their seats,
( we'll fed and cozy. Then across the table
the captain caught the eye of the inquirer,
and the chief nodded to the doctor.
With a hand on each lapel the doctor,
dapper and rotund, stood at his ease to
talk. They were proud, be said. among
other things, to carry Mr.. Holden in the
ship; proud to think that whether in
Netherlands hooker or in II. NJ. S. Birk
enhead-aye, in any floating craft, from
grand hotel to tattered little North sea
tramp-there were still men, large hearted
and strong lmbed, ready at call to offer
their lives in another's service.
Ladies sparkled at Holden, beat hands
and smiled, as in tournament days they
garlanded their knight in flowers, and the
men shook their glasses and deeply Hear
hearedr' Then the captain, lifting his
glass to the level of the lights, called out
cheers for Holden, and wheezy, salted
piano drummed hoarsely rearward, and
the men on the watch wondered why the
saloon dinner was run mad.
Lifting himself TO his feet, Holden stood
with an Gffort. 81 have only to say" he
said quickly, "that rather than have saved
this mans life would have given up my
own. Yet | am glad to pull round to call
him here blackguard, a cur and"- He
lifted his glass and, stem to finger, flung
the burgundy full tilt in the mans face.
Oddly enough, the next morning
Mathew, too, fell sick. He kept his cabin
till the steamer hove to at Cape Town,
when he went ashore without ostentation
in hired dngey. His baggage fol owed
in the tender.
And Mrs. Georgie sat up in her gauff-red
nightdress aud with large, appealing eye,
told Of the mans RELENTLESS persecution, of
her mercilrss snuhbings and how she had
kept counsel from her husband for peace's
sake. You don't know, Jack. God. You
don't" she said
And Holden believed Mrs. George for
it is written he was in love with his wife's
eyes They looked at him now full OF
depths and wonders and meanings, like the
dream of Aluaschar.
