blown to thunder, as the citizens did

Philadelphia, February 2S.-Leaguc
Island navy yard literally swarmed
with visitors yesterday in consequence
of the report from washington that
the cruisers Columbia and Minneapo'
lis, the double turreted monitor Man
tonomoh and the ram Katahdin had
been ordered to go into commission
with dispatch. Both cruisers have
skeleton crews aboard, while the moni-
tor has been lying at her dock for
several years, and the Katahdin since
last winter.
Chief naval officials at the yard
would not say anything relating to
the future movements of the vessels,
but from workmen it was learned the
commission orders had been issued
This was borne out by the fact that
all day large force of men in the
Miantonomoh and the Katahdin. Visit
ors were kept off these boats, and
only those having friends among the
officers and crews of the cruisers We're
allowed on board.
The repairs to the monitor are all Of
n minor nature and will be completed
by Tuesday. Over twenty men have
detailed for her it is said her full
complement of $50 will be up as rapid
ly as possible.
A large force of men were busy on
the Katahdin improving her ventilat-
ing apparatus and fixing her steam
pipes This work will only take a
few days.
Sunday work at the island is unus-
ual and yesterdays activity is taken
to indicate that the navy department.
intends to get the vessels ready for
sailing at moments notice.

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

monial purely in the hope that it may

MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
OF its friends; those who have tried 1t and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testimony 1t throws all
theories and fnncies to the winds aud
stands solidly upon the rock of expeti-
ence challenging every skeptic with a
positive ~ knoW." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy tor every
form OF disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tuniors sores,
ulcers, boiis, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DIR. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in .complete cure:
Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went on to q course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. when she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent II. So she took couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are thousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free BY the

Washington, February 2S.-Should
the destruction of the Maine lead to
hostillties between the United States
and Spain the Dons will have to fight
alone. They will obtain no assistance
from any other European power. This
fact has just been ascertaincd by the
state department after discreet and So
cret inquiry ON the part OF orr repre-.
sentatives abroad. AS soon as the pos
sbillty of war presented itself to the
officials of the national administration
they deemed 1t eXpedlent to learn the
attitude which European nations would
assume in the premises, and they pro
ceeded to institute quiet inquiry for
the purpose of securing this Informal
tion. They have learned it is now
claimed that the most powerful coun-
tries of Europe will remain perfectly
neutral, and will watch the conflict,
If one should take place, from an i'm
partial point of view.

II Is not a common occurrence that
friendly word should be the means OF Civ
ing nearly forty years Of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice I
carried. This was the case with Mary
LinRard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years Of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on 1t, aud they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. 1 was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress but for five years
between the pain in my side and the
biisters l was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take DR.. Ayers Sar-
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
regular course Of it. When l first COM
menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side
was SO painful that could not fasten my
dress, and for time did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per-

come it did. This happened, as 1 say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years

CRUDE AND COMMONPLACE.
Old Fashioned melodrama With Vii
lains and Gush at the Crawford.

A melOdrama is nothing without an
abduction. It is the one thing that al
lows the villain TO be villainous and the
nero to be heroic II It were not for
abductiOus. meIodramas couldn't be
written and the big outside world would
never know how genuinely high minded
and good hearted the habitues Of the
Bowery and other tough districts of the
great metropolis really are. 1t was an
abduction that set all these things right
in the performance of The Daughters
Of the Poor" at the Crawford theater
last night The audience that filed the
upper floors of the house knew it was
coming because they had seen meIO-
dramas before, and waited for il with
must needs follow the abduction and
that then was the time to swat the vii
lain and jar the plaster loose from the
ceiling OF the theater- The abduction
was accomplished and the audience
waited in breathless silence for the
rescue Lightning flashed and thunder
rolled as II drew near. and interest in
the gallery reached a fever heat with
the temperature but a few degrees be
low in the floor below. At last il came
and down a rope from q balcony Il
stories in midair slid the heroine and
her reScuerS- But the finish was vet
to come The audience couldn't see him
but they knew the villain must be in hot
pursuit Just as the heroine struck
terra drna or the stage floor. he rushed
upon the scene He took in the cirCum-
stances with wonderful rapidity and
gained the balcony in a jump The bal
Soay was IN good shape when the hero
me descended a moment before, but the
ElIlalns weight OF sins was too much
Tor ITS supports Down it crashed and
AeadIong the villain bounced into space.
The company that aided and abetted
n the abduction and rescue at the
crawford theater last night was alto
getner up to the average Of meIodrama-
tic companies, and in some rasnac+s ha+-
ter The usual meIodramatic strain was
somewhat relieved during the course of
the performance by the fntroductfon If
song and dance speciaIties- The au-
