pair of spectacles you have the pleas
ure of seeing the same with both eyes,
as that IS the greatest trouble with
ordinary glasses, as no two eyes
are alike. They make each eye do its
work the same no matter If one is bad
or how difficult the case may be.
These gentlemen will DC here for a

one could make a greater mistake in

Halliday Schools.

The plan of halliday sessions hng
been adopted In some Michigan
schools, in order to relieve the over
erowding of children. Objection tn
the plan has been made on the ground
OF Its depriying the children Of half
their allotted opportunity for the ac-
QUESTION OF knowledge, but the reports
OF schools, when it has been tried, are
conclusive ms TO its great advantages,
as well as 10 the fact that In the lons
run the children learn quite us much
as they do in the double session. Que
superintendent reports that In every
school where the single session has
been adopted, the children, besides
making just as good progress rs those
in the doublc-fashion departments,
have n freshness and vigOr unknown
before; their discipline is far less dif-
iicult and the need for corporal pun
ishment is greatly diminished.

ton III the name of the exposition, not
only 10 tile PRESIDENT, hut to the MEN,
berS of his cabinet as well. Mr.. Rose
water has not yet received accept
ances from the Cabinet officers, but
from private sources 1t is learned that
there is liItlc doubt that Il majority
will accompany the President to Oma-
ha in October This news was received
with the most enthusiastic satisfaction
by the exposition officials and by pri-
Nate citizens. The success of the peace
jubilee is now assured and the manage
ment expects that hundred Of thou
sands of people will be on the grounds
during the week. 1t will be the big

FIFTEEN NEW WARSHIPS.
Naval Board Decides Upon n Big Addition
to the Sea Fighting Force.

to the Sea Fighting Force.
Washington, u. c., Aug. 2O.-A naval
program for presentation to Congress,
involving the immediate construction of
fifteen warships was adopted to-day
by the naval board of experts to
whom the subject had been referred
by Secretary Long. 1t provides for
three sea-going barbctte-turret battle
ships of 13,000 tons displacement and
Il minimum of eighteen and onc-half
knots speed when the vessels are load
ed to their deepest draft, or an aver
age speed above nineteen knots under
ordinary cruising conditions; three
first-class armored cruisers of 1900
tons and twenty-five knots speed, sim
liar to the Maine type but highly I'M
proved, and for six protected cruisers
of $500 tons and sixteen knots speed.
The reduced speed of these ships.
which is uniformly about two knots
less than proposed at the preliminary
meeting Of the board yesterday, was
brought about by the desire to secure
unprecedented range of action, on ac-
count Of the increased responsibilities
of the United States in the Pacific and
the certainty that these vessels or most
Of them will be required to make up
the feet In that ocean. The sacrifice
of speed to endurance was advisably
of at least 5000 knots radius, or capa-
BILE of steaming straight away from
San Francisco to Manila or Samoa.

Prc.lden. Deserves . Rest.

President Mckinley is likely to have a
chance to take vacation soon. and he
needs and deserves one as much as any
hard-working man in America. He has
not had q moments rest since the Cuban
troubles eliminated last winter, and has
labored from sixteen to eighteen hours II
day, seven days in the week, during the
intense heat that has driven from WASH
inston everybody who was as not compeilssd lee
hottest summer known in Washington for
many years, and the heat has been agra
waited by unprecedented humidity: The
President and Mrs. Mckinley both have
endured the ordeal in a remarkable man.
ner. He has a fortunate disposition and
can endure heat and fatigue better than
most men, while she enjoys hot
weather. and during some of the torrid
nights, while other people were painting
for breath. has sat complacently under
the portico of the White House with a
shawl over her shoulders.
The President has no definite plans far-
ther than that he has promised to visit
his brother Abner. who has taken cot
tage near Long Branch for the summer.
and he will probably run down there with
Mrs. Mckinley for a few days as soon as
he can get away.

Terrible Railway Dls.,t.r.

Sharon, Mass, Aug. PA frightful
rear-end collision occurred in the Sha-
ron station of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad at 7:3O
o'clock tonight, when an express
train, which was running as the Sec
ond section Of long train, crashed in
to the first section, composed Of local
cars.
As a result. six persons were killed
and twenty-six seriously injured. The
injured were nearly all removed to
Boston on n special train, which was
met by ambulances and surgeons. The
rear car OF the local train was CON-
pletely demolished and a portion Of the

press train was crippled.

AWFUL STATE IN SANTIAGO.
Spanish Soldiers Are Dying so Fast That
1t Is Impossible to Bury Them.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug 16, $50 p. m.
The Eighth Illinois arrived this fore
noon and will garrison and police the
city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards are
to be crematcd. Over 700 have been
burned so far. This afternoon seventy
were to be burned. Over two rails
dozen bodies are stretched and across
them another dozen, and about thirty
corpses are stacked in an immense
funeral pile ten feet high. The pile is
then saturated with kerosene and the
torch applied. A fall Of rain put out
the fire, causing the bodies to be only
half burned Around the pile lay
twenty-five collins containing corpses
in state Of decompositions. Several
naked bodies were strewn on the
ground in n condition of putrefaction.
Altogether about seventy unburied and
unconsumed bodies wexa there. The
stencil was terrible. This happened at
a cemetery within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery officials
say it is impossible to get men to work
at the cremation. Wages of dollar
day prove no inducement to the na-
tives to work at the gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
on the earth until tomorrow, when
fine weather may help the work of ere
nation. These seventy corpses repre-
sent two days dead from the Spanish
camp.
The danger to the population from
the stencil, the presence OF the buZ-
yards, vultures and flies is incalcula-
Bile.
