The Vizcaya is now anchored off
Sandy Hook, guarded by two navy
yard tugs and the police patrol. Pre-
vious to her delayed arrival, feeling
over the prospect ran high in the me-
tropolis and the sensational newspa-
per articles relative to the Spanish
war vessel did nothing to allay the
excitement Reports that the expected
visitor had been sighted or was enter
ing the Narrows We're general and
long continued. Pictures of the Viz
caya and descriptions varying some
what in detail We're published, and one
or two of the more sensational papers
depicted her as in position in the North
River and scattering projectiles about
with generous profusion.
On Thursday afternoon a strange,
black -hulled steamer of small size
came slowly up the Hudson and cast
anchor off Eighty-fourth street. I'm
mediately the report spread about Har-
lem that the vizcaya was off Riverside
Drive, and crowds We're soon flocking
to nearby wharves only to be disap-
pointed.
Perhaps the most laughable feature
of the situation was the frantic at
papers to prove that they were the first
to communicate with the Vizcaya peo-
pie when the vessel arrived on Friday.
All five described in detail the surprise
and horror of the officers and crew
when the information of the Maine dis
aster was delivered All five tell of
the startled ejaculation of the Ameri-
can pilot aboard, who was ignorant of
the news, and the very similar accounts
would lead one to believe that all the
newspapers hired the same tugboat. 1t
certainly does not seem probable that
man possessing the good sense usu-
ally attributed to New York Harbor
pilot would come to the rail five times
to yell at five different tugboats, MY
God, boys is that true?'
1t is well for the newspapers that,
in view of the awful gravity of the
whole thing, such trivial circumstances
are soon forgotten.

The twenty-second annual dog snow
makes its public bow this week at the
scene of its former triumph, Madison
square Garden; it is an event notable
in way, because ii is the only one or
the garden shows that makes pre-
tense of rivaling in fashionable sense
the equine exhibition. and in this case
even it does not go beyond pretense.
There a few facts in connection with
this years dog show worthy OF notice: +:
Firstly, the seventeen hundred entries
are five times greater than the first OF
the Westminster Kennel Clubs shows,
and in excess of the showing made
by any subsequent event. Secondly,
the circumstance that the rouSh-coated
ST. Bernard has been replaced in favor
by the Great Dane. and, thirdly, that
the dear little puggy' can no longer
be looked upon by the eyes of fashion
as "the thing" his place having been
usurped by the long haired lapdog
generally and the japanese poodle
especially.

especially.
The idea prevails generally that this
city does not, because of its cosmopli-
tanism. share the patriotic feeling cem-
mon to the rest of the nation. Well,
this may be so, but the events of the
week certainly do not point in that di-
rection, as the most prejudiced visitor
from out of town must now admit.
Ever since the morning that the news
papers published the news of the Maine
disaster, the entire proposition has
been plunged into a state of feeling
| that borders upon hysteria.
Flags all over the city, on private
as we'll as upon public buildings, are
flung to the wind and storm at half
mast. In the trains, hotel lobbies,
stores and upon the streets the theme
of conversation is the same. AT the
theaters the orchesras, in apprecia-
tion of the popular sentiment, during
the intervals play the national airs, IN
which the audience in some cases join,
while in others the efforts of the mu-
sicians are greeted with the widest
applause.
The city's role of great news center
is played under such circumstances IN
a most remarkable manner. The me-
tropoiitan journals all seem TO be en-
gagged in a competition as to which can
daily devote the most space to ac-
counts Of the disaster and descriptions
and opinions relative thereto, whole
double pages being in some instances
given over to purely imaginative pic
lures of the terrible spectacle; while
even the staid, censorlous Sun, 2"
though finding time for column head
ed wild Mems Newspapers, reprints,
word for word, long description from
it's morning issue of the day before.
Every kind of story however vague
is given space, and the atmosphere has
been overcharged with the widest ru-
nlors and contradictory reports. The
newspaper excitement reached its
hight ON Thursday, when the Journal
issued no less than eighteen extras, !"
each cotaining glaring red headlines en-
titled War" These stated among
other things, that the special divers
hired by the paper had examined the
wreck and found unmistakable evil
dences of torpedo action. Also, that
the President had notified the differ
ent Governors to hold their troops IN
readiness for transportation to Flor
ida. These papers sold on the streets
for two cents per copy, and proved to
be a veritable bonanza for the news
boy army; the urchins rushed about
the streets, crying, "All about the big
war" etc, while the amount of their
sales surpassed those of the time Of the
Venezuela scare or the night of the
Carson fight
A popular news bulletin at the cor
ner of Broadway and Houston street
during Wednesday was entirely bare.
There We're signs in the morning that
the notices had been removed, the
small scraps of paper yet sticking
fast, and the runor rose that this meth
cd of creating excitement among the
crowds was interfered with by the au-
thorities. The rumor was strength
ened somewhat by the newspaper talk
of suppressed dispatches" and by
the appearance on Thursday of buile-
tin notices that We're ultra -conserya-
tive in tone.

| Especial Correspondence Record-Union
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. 1s9S.-The list
of the city's recent murder mysteries
/ horribly grewsome in character, brings
| to the fore that vulture of the press
the sensational newspaper. When CRIME
| thriyes the editor is saved the trouble
| of inventing war scares. railroad
wrecks and sundry other news OF llks
nature. Then even Cuban maadens must
| languish in Spanish jails for the iach
of gallant rescusers. from Newspaper
Row. So the actual presence of crime
| especially when attended with details
| so disgusting that the normal mind IN
| stinctively shrinks from hearing theia-
of, is attended with results beneficial
| to some anyway.
Now there is in every great city a
large proportion of people who think
that the highest achievement in life Is
newspaper notoriety and who, when the
desire for it seizes them, hesitate at ah-
solutely nothing to gain their purpose
If they cannot appear as Chinese
minister, rescued Cuban maiden or a
pugilistic champion, the alternative OF
making a public bow in the role Of q
and the probable fatal climax is re-
garded with indifference.
While it no doubt shows a highly
developed business instinct to devote a
heading to a revolving murder case that
is twice as large and more prominent
than those which introduced the obitu-
ary notices of Grant and Sherman, the
question remains, does it indicate an
impulse that is the result of a Chris
tian training, or, even moral, in the
narrowest use of the term?
The same editor who boasts that his
patronage includes the great mass of
the common people. and who is evident
ly possessed of enough worldly knowl-
edge to be aware of the many sub b-di-
visions among these same common peo-
pie because of different character, can
not but be guilty of one of the gravest
crimes toward humanity and civiliza-
ton, in the opinion of any sober minded
person, when he undertak = to
strengthen the evil side in ignorant hu-
man nature after the fashion of at least
two weli-known New York editors.
When, irrespective of lurid and mas
sive headlines, and descriptions revolt
iie as W dCIdil, SPStC 10 SANNii ~ PiN-
lures in life-size dimensions of bloody
hatchets knives and clothing, it is not
to be wondered at because contempor-
ary journals, still retaining some profess
sional self-respect refer with contempt
to sueh sheets as the Daily Scavenger
or the Evening Sewer" in fact, the
wonder is that such publications arc
permitted SO much license.

Woodlawn Cemetery, which, unlike
most Of the Greater City's communi
ties of the dead, is not situated in the
Borough of Brooklyn, but in one OF
the most picturesque parts Of the coun-
ty Of Westchester, is said to be the
city's fashionable burying ground, if
fashion can be imagined as existing I'M
der such circumstances.
Therefore, when the writer visited it
last Sunday he was not surprised al
seeing SO many noble monuments or
such sumptuous mausoleums. The sur
prise came when the various inscrip-
tions We're studied and found to be so
totally unfamiliar as regards family
names OF course all the finer monu-
ments in the cemetery were not exam
ined by the writer, but of those that
were. about two score, only one bore a
name familiar to him, and that was a
marble mausoleum erected to the mem
ory of G. P Morosini, the late Jay
Gould's partner on Wall street.
Among the less conspicuous memor-
ials was noticed a small granite shaft
erected tc the memory of Leopold Dam
rosch, who died in 1885, by the Arion,
Oratorio and Symphony Societies Of
New York. The deceased was The
father of the two well-known musical
directors and composers-Walter and
Frank Damrosch.
One little marble scroll was inscribed
with the simple legend ''Artie." On the
reverse side was read the following:
Arthur Barnard. eldest child of George
A. and Sara B. Cheney, born in Zanzi-
bar. January s, 1854; died in Provi-
dence, July 81, 1858" The son of a
missionary, probably, who, born at one
extremity of the earth, was destined TO
die at the other four years later.
If the writer was disappointed in the
matter of finding famous names, one
circumstance was noted which demands
comment. I refer to the practice most
~ connected with names of German or
igin) of decorating the graves with pa
per flowers or tin gewgaws. They nat
urally appeared absurdly unfit where
tokens demanded by true sentiment
should be of enduring rock. or the Gre
ator's own expressive symbols of love

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those SO unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sldered themselves beyond hope of
recovery The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to All early grave.
1t Is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed, They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns and is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the
dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the
sallow parsnip-colored complexion in
dictates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatistied feeling as if it
must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has a brickdust deposit or a
strong odOr.
When these symptoms are present no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring the
drawing of the urine with instruments,
or may run into Bright's disease, the
most dangerous stage of kidney trou-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling 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
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
