Naming Battleships.

II nav be of interest to those who
are reading the daily accounts OF the
doings Of our navy to know that our
ships are named in accordance with
the following rules: The battleships
are named for states, the cruisers for
cities. the monitors for Indian tribes,
torpedo boats for naval heroes, tug
boats for Indian chiefs and yachts
for birds and insects. The gunboats,
however. are vsriously named. 1t is
well to remember this, so when boat
is mentioned you will know to what
class il belongs.

THE WORLDS paralysis.
Spanish. American Wars Wide In.
auence on Nations.

But few persons see how great an
influence the Spanish.American war
has already exerted over the nations
OF earth. 1t Is a new issue and a new
nation at work, and there is some.
thing about it that strikes the govern
ments Of the word with sort Of
paralysis. They stand and tremble,
and well they may, as 1t is the com.
mencement Of the final campaign OF
the Israel family that is laid out in
Bible prophecies. 1t is the commence.
ment of lsrael's trouble described in
Jeremiah 80 and numerous other
places in the prophecies; and this Is
why such tremendous and inexplain.
able Influence arises out OF this war
bubble and checks the breath OF all
nations. All the people Of the earth
have heard about the United States Of
America. Our history is siited all
through every country. 1t is not
necessary that foreign nations
read our language in order to form an
opinion about us, as we have our his.
tory put in many ways and distributed
into every corner Of the world SO that
foreigners can scarcely cast their eyes
in any direction dn their own home1
without meeting with something that
has been invented and manufactured
In the United States. This alone
exerts powerful influence over their
minds. They see a snorting, putting
engine and train Of cars running like
mad through their country and they
ask where that awful thing came
from and the answer comes to them,
"This is an American concern, ship.
ped over here for US to use." They
step into an Office and there see a lit.
tie brass instrument ticking away and
a man sitting there writing down the
talk as the instrument speaks it. 1t
is telling something that is just tax.
Ing place in far-otf land, thousands
OF miles away, and the foreigner asks
what that instrument is an the an
swer to him is, This is an American
invention" And thus the foreigners
eyes meet with new and curious
things on all sides Of him, right in
his own home, and he learns that
they are all American, and he becomes
bewildered about us. He forms terri.
bic and exciting ideas about us.
He finally becomes filled with
an unconscious fear OF us on
account Of the curious and powerful
implements, machinery and weapons
he sees coming from our hands and
brain-work. Therefore, when we
start out on the warpath all nations
begin to tremble and wonder what
kind OF Yankee tricks" we will work
with our curious inventions and un-
heard Of ways Thus all foreign ma
tions become uneasy. They imagine
that "them swift and big headed fools"
from the United States will come
right over and make away with every
body and everything. Thus the Bible
promises to the Israel family are full
filled literally when it declares, "I
will make thee the head and not the
tail. All the nations OF the earth
shall see that thou art called by the
Lord and they shall be afraid Of thee"
This is what is now causing 80 much
fear and uneasiness over In Europe
and Asia about this Spanish. American
war. W. A. REDDING.

At a convivial gathering Of widow
ers recently held in Berlin a beer-sell-
er, whose wife had just died, remark
ed that her coffin had cost him $50. A
manufacturer of coffins happened to
be present, and said that he could
furnish as good an article for SIS;
whereupon the beer-seller replied
that he would take thousand at that
price. The manufacturer took the
matter seriously, and sent the coffins,
together with a bill for $4,000. The
Court before which the case was taxi

TAKEN IN HIS PRIME.
Aaron Allison, One Of Abilsns's Lead
ing Businessmen, Il Dead.

ing Businessmen, Il Dead.
1t was with much sadness that
Abilene on Sunday heard that Aaron
Allison was dead. Only few days
ago be was attending to business,
then came news that he was sick, but
few realized that his illness was dan
gerous. Saturday he sank steadily
and about II p. m. passed away, his
death being caused by Bright's dis
ease.
Aaron A. Allison was born Nov. 28,
1855, in Perry county, Pennsylvania,
moved with bis parents to LaSalle
county, Illinois, In 1865; in 1869 to
Benton county, Iowa; in 1878 to Clay
Center, Kansas, and in 1885 he came
to Abilene as clerk In the Chicago
Lumber yard office. Three years ago
he took the management Of the
Badger Lumber Co. interests and has
been known and respected as one Of
the city's most popular and worthy
businessmen. Apparently gifted with
enduring physical vigor and possessed
Of kindly nature that made him
ever mindful OF those around him,
each acquaintance was friend. 1t
is doubtful II he was called "Mr. Alli-
son" very often in bis life. A boy.
hood title Hank" was the familiar
greeting Of all and SO friendly was he
that dignifed address would have
seemed out Of place. He was a strict
businessman, careful and trustworthy,
and the Badger Lumber company bad
no more efficient agent in its employ.
His CHEEKY smile and pleasant words
were never lacking and sunshine was
ever part Of his greetings. He was
unassuming and modest yet he earned
admiration and respect because his
acts came from generous heart and
broad mind. The world loses much
when such a man passes away in his
prime and the deep regret felt by the
host Of friends can but feebly tell the
community's sorrow.
Mr.. Allison's father and mother
have died during the past three years;
q sister, Mrs. G. M. johnson, kept
house for him, a brother, Samuel Al
lison, lives in Clay Center, and an
other brother, Jacob Allison, In Hia-
watha.
A brother died few weeks ago in
Oklahoma and was brought here for
burial.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Monday P. m.
Rev. W. A. Crawford, assisted by Rev.
DR.. Blaypey, officiated.
The business houses Of the city
generally closed during the time Of

TROUBLE OVER DOG.
Diplomatic Correspondence Caused by
Landing Canine ON British Soil.

1t would be a misfortune If even a
$3.50 dog was suffered to bring us into
an international complication. That is
registered as the cost of the McCor-
mick dog, just allowed to land in Eng
land on his way from Paris to this
country, though there is British qual
antine on foreign dogs, and it took a
profusion of diplomatic correspond
ence to procure its suspension in favor
of this expensive animal. Even thus
its exemption was not without condi-
tioI $. 1t was not allowed to mingle
freely with the British dog and join it
in the customary forms of canine
amt sement On the contrary 1t was
enforced to complete isolation from it's
kird while on British soil, but was per-
mitted such solace as it might obtain
from the companionship of an under
cur In the legation. On the whole, it's
travelling experiences would be rather
humiliating to an ordinary dog; to one
costing $25 pound, the sum paid for
this extravaganza animal, 1t should be
unusually Notifying if it's sensibilities
are as acute as its price would lead
one to expect Luckily its transit has
not seriously embroiled us with Great
Britain, and now that the American
tourist is made acquainted with the
island law concerning the foreign dog
ne will no doubt give due heed thus
relieving diplomacy from any amount
Of perplexity and embarrassment, and
! the dogs themselves frCm an inyidious
and painful situation.-New York

A GREAT HEIRESS.

The public generally knows that
Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest and most
, remarkable woman In America, has a
son. But 1t Is pretty safe to wager
that few people are aware OF the fact
that she also has daughter. Interest
in the daughter Is melted when one
stops to think that the young woman,
Miss Sylvia Green, Is the richest heir
ess In the land, the Vanderblts and
Astors to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Miss Green Is now "a years of
age. On her mothers death she will
become possessed of a fortune of $780,
0000 900 In her own right. This being
the fact, the public naturally Is inter-
osted In her character, etc.
Miss Green, If her mothers words
are true, Is no more desirable as an
heiress than as q woman. She has
been reared to believe that a womans
sphere Ia the home and that she Is out
of place in business life. She has been
Taught that where her family Is there
Is her home, and that few tried
tinction. She has never appeared in
society because her mother has no OPP
portunity or wish for such things. She
Is a catch from u financial standpoint,
and still greater one IL her education
as outlined by her mother has been
the success aimed at.
Mrs. Green has said that all she de-
sires in her daughters husband Is that
he be an honorable man. She does not
care if he Is or Is not a business man
or professional man, churchman or
man of the world. If he Is an honor
! able man loves her daughter instead
OF her gold he can have her. The
mother does not fix any ironclad rule.
She says u man may be good man
and still have some of the so-called
bad habits. He may smoke and occa-
sionally indulge in liquors and still be
an upright, temperate man. she
draws the line at swearing. 1t de-
ponds upon the daughter If she ever
goes into society. She hae reached the
ago when her mother thinks she may
receive attention, and she will be per-
mitted to come out" IL she wishes.
But Mrs. Green says she would be sur
prsed to see Sylvia In society, as she
has always displayed more interest in
good books and simple things than
the giddy whirl of social life In great
city.

APPEAL OF A TOPEKA GIRL.
Asks Others to Stop Offering Liquor to
Young Men.

Lead them not into temptation" is.
the cry of Miss olivia Van Tassel, a
leader in Topeka society, who has Gre
ated sensation by declaring that the
young society women of the town are
Turing young men to ruin by offering
them drink when they come into their
homes. Miss Van Tassel charges the
downfall of one young man to this.
custom, and she has made an appeal
to the society women of Topeka to put
away their wine decanters and assist
in saving the young men from drunk
ards graves. She says:
Il think it is just awful the way
wine is served to young men by some
of the society women of Topeka. One
young man has been ruined by this
practice and others are on the road to-
ruin. These society young women are
responsible for their downfall. 1t is
amazing that so many of the young
women of this town do not object to
the young men drinking liquor and 1t
is still more shocking to know that
many of the young women drink liquor
themselves.
Miss Van Tassel will carry her war
into the churches and will appeal TO
the parents to throw the nasty stuff in
to the cutters.
