II Lieut.. Hobson, who is still in
Washington, has any of the supersti-
ton which most persons raised in the
South have, he probably regards him
self as having been hoodooed. He had
hardly recoved from the knock down
given him by the Navy Department
when it refused to allow him to con-
tinue his efforts to save the Spanish
warships, sunk off Santiago, when the
news reached Washington that the
Maria Teresa, the Spanish cruiser
raised under his direction. had founder
ed in a storm, while on its way to New
York. There is much real regret over
the loss Of this fine ship, estimated to
be worth 80, DOC, 900, but there are Ma
val Officials high ones, who regard
the loss with complacency, because the
vessel would have been a constant re-
minder Of Lieut.. Hobson, who has,
they think, already received too much
glory for his work.

Gently / discovered the house was in
tested with rats, they were destroying
the bedding and bed clothes and MAX
ing havoc Of everything. RAT CHEESE
was recommended; 1 tried it and was
surprised OF the marvellous result. In
a few days there was not a rat about
the place, they seemed to have left the
barns and out houses as well as the Ho-
tel. Every one who is pestered with
rats or mice should try Rat Cheese at
once; it did the work quickly and well
for me I gladly recommended it. A de-
cisive battle quickly won. Please send
