FOR A HOSPITAL SHIP.

Patriotic People Of Pacific Coast ASKED
for Funds for That Purpose.
The JOURNAL has received the fol.
lowing from Mrs. Chas. II. Greenllef
Of Berkeley, Cal;
To the People Of the Pacific Coast:
The project Of having the people OF
the Pacific coast present to the
United States government a hospital
ship has been repeatedly mentioned 10
the press. A public appeal is now
made to all patriotic people for con.
tributions toward this great under
taking.
The people of Massachusetts, have
just now presented hospital ship to
the government at the cost of $3.50, 900.
This ship is for transport service
between the West Indies and the
North, that the sick and the
wounded may be safely conveyed to
suitable climate and quarters, and its
service is supplementary to that Of
other ships which fly the banner Of
the Red Cross on the Atlantic. We
have not single ship of CHS sort on
the Pacific, and we should have it at
once. The estimate cost of one
which should be adequate for the
needs Of the service, is 100000. This
Is large sum to raise, but there can
be no difficulty In doing so, II public
interest can be thoroughly aroused.
1t is suggested that the greater part
must be raised by ten cent subscrlp-
tlons on the part OF children and
dollar subscriptions on the part Of
Others.
The money must be raised by the
local societies, and administered by
the state societies, until the ship is
turned over TO the government. The
need OF the ship is absolute; this
method Of securing IL was first oflic-
tally suggested by Colonel Chas. r.
Greenleaf, chief surgeon OF the United
States armies in the field, aud has the
strongest approval OF the surgeon
general. The ship under the Red
Cross Flag Is protected from capture
or Injury by the terms OF the Geneva
convention. The People of these states
never had such chance as is now be-
fore them TO show their patriotism
and humanity; and this appeal is
made To the noblest sentiments OF
mankind with confidence that the re
sponse will be immediate and sufic-
lent.

MY DEAR MApAM;-I cannot too
cordially recommend the project you
have In view. A hospital ship at
Manila would be OF great advantage
TO our sick, and possibly wounded |
soldiers. The expense, as you state
II, would amount TO bagatelle so far
as the tenetit 10 crew would be con-
cerned. earnestly hope you may De
successful In securing subscriptions
sufficient 10 furnish ship.
IL has been suggested that some OF
the ships az Manila, which were cap
tured by Admiral Dewey, might be
turned into hospital ships, and think
well OF the plan.

the conditions that may arise, but II
anything further should be necessary.

Important to DepositOrs,

Congressman Fleming seems
always to have his eyes open to
the interests of the people and the
public convenience Gnd has
secured a ruling from the revenue
department on one point in the
tax act that will prove of wide
spread Importance and benefit.
In a letter to his brother, who is
president of the Commercial bank
in this city, Congressman Fleming
sends the ruling referred to, and
it will be received with pleasure
not only by the banks here but
elswhere, and by the army of
depositors who are worried at hav-
ing to afix a stamp every time
they desire to draw few dollars
out Of bank for their own use.
Here is the ruling by the depart
ment:
eff bank takes money on
deposit, and pays it out in partial
payments to a depositor upon his
signing receipt Containing no
words constituting an order for
the payment of money! it does not
require stamp under this act.
The effect of this ruling is to
enable depositors to 60 to bank
and sign receipt for any sum
they desire paid over to shen from
their deposit account and be reliev-
ed of the necessity of stamping the
receipt. This does not refer of
course to checks issued to a third
party. These are negotiable
papers and mrst be stamped.
Let US illustate. Suppose A has
money in bank and owes a number
of small accounts that be is
accustomed to pay on a certain
day in each mouth. If he pays
off Tom, Dick, and Harry with
cheeks when they come in to pre-
sent their accounts he must put a
stamp upon each check. If, how
ever, he steps over to The bank in
advance and draws out a sufficient
sum from his deposit to settle all
these accounts he can give the
bank a receipt for the sum, with
out a stamp OH it, and carry the
money to his office where he can
pay the accounts of Tom, Dick and
Harry in casn.-Augusta Chroni-

Molly obeyed Orders.

In his Fourth of July oration at
spartanburg, S. c.. Senator Nc
Laurin interpolated this:
Senator Bate of Tennessee told
me an aneodote of Col. Tom
Sumter that have never seen III
print. Sumter was a great, big,
giant of a fellow, with voice like
a foghorn. Itis said his "holler''
could be heard for miles. On one
occasion when he was off on a
foray the Tories came and captured
his wife, Molly, and stripped the
plantation of everything. When
"Old Tom came home and found
Molly" gone his rage knew no
bounds. Gathering together such
forces as he could he put after
the Tories.
He overlook them on the third
day and hung about until midnight
Then he deployed his forces around
the camp and told them to await
his orders to fire. He was afraid
of "Molly" being shot in the melee,
so when he got everything ready
he opened his big mouth and let
cut a yell that fairly made the earth
tremble. clay down, Molly! Lay
down, Molly" and Molly, rAcogniz-
ing those stentorian tones, fell
prone on her face, and, after the
last, "Lay down, Molly" came the

MILES HAS ARRIVED

No Word Has Been Received
From Him Yet.

Washington, July 25.-While it
is known that Gen. Miles has
arrived in Porto Rican waters,
nothing has been heard directly
from him and the department
cannot announce whether or not
he has commenced a landing.
Unless he meets the enemy III

When he came to leave on his
ship, the Newport, the other day,
he did not even take Il carriage
from his hotel to the dock but
climbed on a street car and paid a
a nickel for the ride. After he got
on board he waved off all those who
were trying to make great
ceremony out of his departure,
and said to the steamer captain :
Come on; let's get out of this.
Then he waved his handkerchief
to some good-looking women on
the dock and went into his cabin
to unpack his grip"

Judging a Cow.

Andrew J. Fuller in the In
dependent gives the following
points to be observed in the
selection of a COW;
The model cow should have a
small, clean, rather long head,
tapering toward the muzzle.
The mouth should be large and
broad, the eye bright and spark
ling, but placid in expression with
no indication of wildness. The
horus should be small, short,
tapering, yellowish and glistoning.
The neck should be small, thin
and tapering toward the head, but
thickening when it approaches the
shoulders; the dewlaps small.
The fore-quarters small when
compared with the hind-quarters.
The barrel large. Each rib
should project further than the
preceding one up to the loins.
She should be well formed across
the ribs and in the rump. The
spine, or backbone should be
straight and long, the udder large
in propo. ton to the size of the
animal, and the skin thin with
soft. loose folds extending well
back, the milk veins, especially
those under the belly, should be
large and prominent.
After selecting a good COW make
the most OF her. A French writer
says that by inducing COWS to
drink more water the quantity of
milk yielded can be increased
without injuring the quality.
He asserts that the amount of
milk is proportional to the amount
of water drunk. In experimenting
with COWS fed in the stall with dry
fodder, that gave only nine to
twelve quarts of milk a day, that
when this dry food was moistened
with from IS to % quarts of water
daily, their yield of milk increased
up to 12 to IA quarts a day.
Besides this water taken with the
food, the COWS were allowed to
drink the same as before, and their
thirst was excited by adding a
little salt to the fodder. The milk
was of good quality and the
amount of butter satisfactory. He
found, by a series of observations,
that the quantity of water
habitually drunk by each COW was
a criterion to judge Of the quantity
of milk that she would yield. A
COW that does not drink as much
as q quarts of water a day, is a
poor mixer, giving only five and
a half to seven quarts day; but
all the COWS which drank as much
as fifty quarts Of water daily gave
from IA to % quarts of milk daily.
He believes the amount of water
drunk by cow is a test of her
value as mixer.

A DREAM WARNING.
An Incident Related by MIR
Wallace G.. Addison.

Mr.. Wallace G. Addison, has
just returned from a trip north
and east and he is relating a story
that is indeed interesting.
Mr.. Addison, on his way south,
stopped over a few days in
Philadelphia, and while there call
ed on friends. He learned that it
was by a strange coincidence that
they were in the city when he call
ed, and indeed had things gone
as they at first intended they may
have been drowned when the
steamer LaBourgogne was sunk by
the Crowmartyshire.
The gentleman and his wife had
intended taking trip to Europe
for the summer, and had engaged
passage on The steamer which off
the banks met so horrible a fate.
Three days before they were to
leave for New York to go aboard
she told herhusband that she could
not sail on the Bourgogne.
The night before she had q dream
and in it she saw a terrible disaster,
The ship was in collision. She
saw the decks crowded with frantic
people and saw men fighting the
women and children back from
theboats. She declared that she
would not leave home. The lady
was almost in fit of nervous
prostration and it was necessary to
send for a physician.
She got better, but refused to
make the voyage. Her husband
went to New York and cancelled
the booking.-Augusta Chronicle,
