Gently purchased for the navy, nor the
old wooden vessels brought over from the
last war, the United States navy amounts
in round numbers to about seventy-five
effective vessels, of all classes. In this
turreted monitors, one ram, thirteen old
style monitors, sixteen unarmored steel
cruisers, ten or twelve steel gunboats, six
torpedo boats, and half a dozen vessels
of special types like the Dolphin and the
Vesuvius. To this number must be added
the two Brazilian cruisers recently pur-
chased, and all craft bought at home or
abroad since the beginning of the present
war furry.

All Americans.
From the Washington Post Gnd.).

While there are many distinctions of
race and nationality in the elements that
constitute our nation, they are all alike,
all one, in loyalty to the government.
Discussion of this subject may be inter
esting and the conclusion is always graft
flying, but it has little practical utility.

From the Baltimore Sun Oem.).

Why should we go to war? The disas-
ter to the Maine is the only reason which
would justify such a course, and that
would only justify it if we could prove
conclusively that the responsibility for it
rests upon the Spanish government But
that has not yet been proved.

Mr.. POrter's Mandamus Suit

Judge w. S. Jennings, the able
and popular attorney from
Brooksville, was in the city yes
terday, crossing palms with his
numerous friends and looking
after his legal business. He re-
ported that on account Of the
jurisdictional question, it was
thought best to withdraw Mr..
POrter's mandamus suit against
the comptroller from Judge
Rockers circuit and bring it be-
fore Circuit Judge Malone at Tai
lahassee. The papers in the case
were presented to Judge Malone
on the 18th inst. by Col. John A.
Henderson, one of Mr.. POrter'S
attorneys, and he has entered
on examination of the same and
promises to give his opinion on
the legal points involved in a day
or two. 1t would be hard to find
stronger legal team in Florida
than Mr.. Porter has employed to
manage and direct his case. Hon.
w. K. Zewadslli, Judge Jen-
nings and Col. Henderson are all
heavy weights and have thrown
themselves into the case with I'M
usual interest and enthusiasm.
They believe they are advocating
a just cause, one thoroughly
backed up by the law, and are
very hopeful of ultimate success.
In this belief they are gratified
to know that they have the
sympathy and support of the
good people and press of the
state.

A Profitable Dairy

P. H. Shafer, living two and
half miles east of Ocala, OF Ock-
laWaha avenue, has one Of the
incest little dairies in the country,
known as the Standard Dairy,
which, he with the assistance of
his wife, operates successfully.
He has about fifteen nice milk
COWS besides a number of heifers,
calves and dry COWS. His COWS
are Jersey, with a few crossed
between Jersey and Holstein.
The mixers are fed on steamed
feed from Nashville, of which a
ton is used every week. In addi-
ton to this, large quantities Of
rutabagas, turnips, carrots and
beets are planted, which yield
well, and when fed to the COWS,
make the milk richer and the
yield greater. There is also a
good scope of pasture land for the
COWS to Craze on. Mr.. Shafer
does not undertake the cultiva-
ton of too much land, which is
the general mistake made by
Florida farmers and dairymen,
but has only Is acres and
thoroughly cultivates that, so
that in addition to feeding his
stock he has a great deal to sell.
At the city market he finds ready
sale for the calves for veal.
Mr.. Shafer has conducted this
business for a little over a year
and has built up q very lucrative
milk trade. About his dairy
every thing is neat, clean and in
apple pie order and his satisfac-
tory management of the business
has demonstrated the fact that
there IS money in small dairy
for the Ocala market.

Seems as if all the things we
like disagree with us, and all the
things we don't like, agree with
us. Dyspepsia turks in most of
the good things we eat. and in
digestion follows the qualification
of appetite. OF course, it isn't
natures fault. Nature does the
best she can, and if a man will
only help her a little bit at the
right time, he may eat what be
likes and as much as he likes.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
for people who are troubled with
indigestion. Particularly for
those in whom it manifests itself
IN the form Of constipation. The
"Pellets" are quick and easy in
their action. They are in perfect
harmony with nature. They
effect permanent cure. You
need take them regularly only a
little while. After that, use them
occasionally when you need them
when you have eaten anything
that disagrees with you. They
may be taken just as freely as
you would take water or any
other necessity Of life. Once used
they are always in favor.

Puzzled over the Horse.

Sandy McFadyen, Forfarshire farm
er, had been spending an hour or two
in the evening with a friend couple
of miles away. 1t was moonlight
night, and Sandy, after partGking free
ly of his friends hospitality, was rid
ing quietly home across the sheep pas
lures on his ''guid auld mare" when
they came to an open ditch which the
mare refused to cross. "Hoot ava
Maggie" said the rider, "this Wilma
dae. Ye maun juist gang over" He
turned back about a hundred yards,
wheeled round and gave the mare a
touch of his whip. On she went at a
brisker canter, but just as they reached
the edge of the ditch she stopped dead,
and shot Sandy clean over to the other
side. Gathering himself up, Sandy
looked his mare straight in the face and
said: Vera weel pitched, indeed, ma
lass. But hoo are We gaein' to get over

He Got His Price.

The discoverer of the famous Drum
Lummon mine near Helena, Mont,
was Thomas Cruise. In the days be-
fore he sold his property and returned
to- Helena a much honored millionaire,
Mr.. Cruise was locally known as "old
Tommy" and was looked upon as a
somewhat visionary man. None ques-
toned after a time that his mine,
where he lived and labored alone, was
valuable, but few placed it's worth SO
high as did the patient owner When
he refused half a million for his claim
the people of Helena called him fool
ish, and when he turned away from
the offer of a million they called him a
fool.
But the miner was wiser than his
friends, and eventually received his
price, 100000, and a goodly num-
Der of shares in the new company.
Then, as often is the case, the old ia
miliarity was dropped, and the tom
N.Y. Of bygone days became "Mr.
Thomas Cruise, Capitalist"

ECLIPSES THE KLONDIKE.
Enormous Output of Gold from the
Black Hills Region.

The output of gold from the Black Hills
region for the current year, it is estimat-
ed, will reach the enormous total Of 49,
100000. The prospects were never as
good as at present and the producing
mines have never paid a more liberal re-
turn on the capital invested in tn en-. The
Homestake, which is the richest of Amer
lean gold mines, shows total earnings
from June, 1897, to June of this year of
$2,494, 37453, the product of 54S, 800 tons
of ORE This mine was discovered by the
Manuel brothers in 1876 and they had a
rich elephant on their hands. The ore
was of low grade, with streaks Of rich
material at intervals, and they had a
mountain of it. They constructed crude
araster on Gold Run and worked the Sc
lected high-grade ore successfully. The
late ex-senator George Hearst of Califor-
MIA examined it with the practical eye Of
a miner. He saw a bonanza, asked their
price and paid it. The property is really
in its infancy, Notwithstanding it has been
operated for twenty years. On the 800
foot level they have 600 feet of ore in
width. None of the stock of the company
controlling the mine can be purchased at
the present time.

PENSION ROLLS INCREASED.
Report of the Commissioner for the
Last Fiscal Year.

Last Fiscal Year.
The Forthcoming annual report of the
Commissioner of Pensions will show that
63,64S original claims for pensions were
granted the last fiscal year, and 4,OS9
pensioners, who had for various cases
been dropped, were restored to the rolls.
On June 80 the pension roll contained
976,O14 names, while 1852 original claims
which had been granted and 1872 restora-
tons were not then entered on the rolls,
so there were Oh that date 9S5, 623 persons
entitled to pensions. During the year 49,
SOL names were dropped from the rolls
by reason of death and 5,346 for remar-
riage, expiration Of minority, and other
causes, making the net increase 1900.
The aggregate of pensions paid during
the year was $114 ,651 1897, while the ex-
penses of the bureau were $4,G13,S61.
No claim for pensions under the Span
sh war have yet been granted and no ac-
ton can be taken on those already filed
until the records of service are compiled
by the War Department. A new division
to be known as the Spanish-American
war division will be established in which
will be handled all the claims arising I'M
der the war just passed. No additional
legislation will be necessary and the claims
will be adjudicated on the same lines as
those from the civil war.
