TORPEDO BOAT WINSLOW.

The gun boat Hudson ran in close
enough to throw rope to her, in
tending to pull her out OF the range
of the enemies guns. While trying
to fasten the rope a shell struck the
bridge on which the commander, j.
B. Bernandon stood, he was severe
ly wounded. Ensign W. Bagley's
face was blown off, another of the
crew had his throat cut as with a
knife by q piece Of shell, and an 9TH
er was killed by the conclusion of
an exploding shell, an other had his
stomach blown out. The others of
the crew were wounded. The line
at last was fastened and the disabled
gun boat was pulled out of the reach
of the Spanish guns. On the same
day, away off across the Pacific ocean
at the Philippine Islands where
Dewey performed such wonderful
naval work, g Spanish gun boat was
found and Immediately engaged in
ia fight. A fight Of two hours result

THE MAID ACROSS THE WAY.

Everything goes in time Of war,
said the heroine Of the following story
TO the Wayfarer in extenuation Of her
participation in the incident
On the eve OF the departure Of the
National Guard for Camp Tunnell each
unmarried officer and private made 1t
point to see just how many OF his
girl friends would bid him adieu in the
most affectionate manner. The Way
farer knows of onemember Of Company
G who was kissed four times by four
different girls in four different squares
between Tenth and Fourth streets,
while he was marching TO the railroad
station. He afterwards remarked to a
comrade that he was certainly grateful
that all the girls didn't happen to be
in the same square or he would have
been in a most embarrassing position.
But the heroine above referred to,
who resides on East Eighth street,
played no part in that quadrangular
exploit in osculation. Her soldier
I'boy called at the house to say farewell
before going to the armory to take his
place in Company G. For the time be-
ing he was her soldier boy, although,
really, he belonged to another girl
but everything goes in time OF war,
so there was no material difference. II
came time for him to break away, and
they went to the front door. He looked
at all the windows Of the houses toppo-
site, and so did she. Then their lips
met in one long, luscious, farewell kiss
After IL was over they looked around
| again, and were Mortified to see tn.
face OF a middle-aged spinster pressed
against the window pane in the hous'
| directly across the way, and the o.
preston upon ii being one OF virtuou.

one in the neighborhOod was fully ac

for the removal Of various bars and

use OF the comparative greater. since
no other dredge is mentioned in the pre-
eeding part OF his report: And wha, does
he mean BY the probable" construction
OF such a dredges BY whom IS such
vessel to be construcsed' Surely not by
the goyernmeni-slnce the construction OF
no such machine has been authorized by
congress on the COLUMBIA river. nor have
proposals been invited Tor her cons,ruc-
ton In any Of the papers published on the

PEELED to Increase our navy by the use %
