RECORD OF DISASTER.
List of Wrecks and Lives Lost Grow
ing Hourly.

Ing AOuE4Vs
Boston, Nov. 29.-From reports that
have come by wire, mail and meSSen-
ger to the Associated Press from New
England points up to 10 o'clock this
forenoon. is was difficult to estimate
the total loss of life and the damage
to shipping along this coast as the re-
suit of the recent storm. The list of
disasters seem to grow every hour and
from dispatches thus far received it ap-
pears that at least thirty schooners
have been wrecked at different points
from Eastport, Me, to New Haven,
Conn. Eighty-six schooners have been
driven ashore and 140 barges loaded or
empty are aground. This list does not
include the thirty vessels, either wholly
or partially wrecked in Bostor harbor,
nor half a, dozen or more craft which are
reported missing, nor the big Wilson
Spectacle island in this harbor; the
steamer John ]. Hill, which is ashore at
Atlantic; the Merchants and Miners
transportation steamer Fairfax, ashore
on Sow and Pigs ledge, off Cuttyhunk,
nor the small steamer George A. Chat
fee, foundered at Rockport, Mass.
When these are added, the aggregate
list exceeds ITO vessels
The loss of life is hard to determine.
1t is known that about so persons per
ished in and about Boston harbor. Re-
ports from other places, in some cases
state that the crew of this or that veS-
sci has escaped, many state, however,
the fate of the crew is unknown. Some
survivors have turned up and life saw
ing stations and incoming vessels have
brought a few sailors from wrecks.
Perhaps a score would cover those OF
whom nothing is known.

INCREASE OF PAY
Will Be Necessary to Induce Men to
Enlist

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Herald from washington says:
One of the first results of the determ-
ination of the peace negotiations at
Paris will be orders for mastering out
of as many as 10000 men of the volun-
teer army. The orders thus far cover
about Sc, 900 men, but not more than
81, 900 have actually been mustered out
The present army consists of about
100 900 men, exclusive of all ordered
mustered out, $1,000 of whom are reg
ulars. The forces contemplated for the
islands are: For the Philippines, 20, 1000;
for Porto Rico, about 1000; for Cuba,
not more than go 900. This, on the basis
of Is 900 men for the regular establish
ment-which is the number now reckon
ed on by competent military fOrecasters
here-wiII leave 10000 men for frontier
and station work in this country. Sec
retary Alger recommends 100, 600 men,
There are now 80, 900 volunteers who
are entirely useless in view of the
technical cessation of hostilities. Or
be issued without delay, which viii
leave 100 900 in the army. It was re-
called by army officers that the regular
army of $4,000 men had never been up
to it's limit of enlisted strength and
that the army of 1000 men under the
Hull bill lacked ten thousand Of COM
plete enlistment.
Secretary Alger refused to say wheth-
er he would ask for more pay for en-
listed men, but it is asserted unhesitat-
ingly that it will be impossible to secure
the enlistment of 900 men unless
there be a greater pay than $13 month
for each man. An increase of pay for
privates in the service will be one of
the almost certain developments of Leg
islation for army reorganization, the
argument being based upon the danger

possessions.

idence of the brides mother in Vir-

Both bride and groom were former

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells az about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
"At the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming
