Cssqi5t SUCKERS II Fs,oo.

The old expression that "a sucker is
born every minute" seems to be fully
proven by the results in Fargo. Some
time ago a fellow, who gave his nam as
w. H. Cashier, struck Fargo with an adj
vertising scheme. His plan was to sell
space to the business men and then have
frames 4 or 5 feet square prepared in
which cards were painted. A glass
front was put over the case and it was
promised that they should be in all the
hotels and other prominent places.
Cashier roped in a number of local
gentlemen, promising a large number OF
the cases. One man was caught for s64
and others for smaller amounts. Carpen-
ter Pearson, was engaged to make the
frames and a local painter to do the rest
of the work. Castner collected his bills
and left the city. He overlooked Pear
son and the painter and is also said to
have thought it unnecessary to pay his
hotel bill. Peason has been investigat-
ing Cashiers career and asserts that the
latter has played the same game all over
the country. He has found creditors
everywhere. The men, who ave the
fellow advertising must feel good over
the matter, as less than half the number
of frames promised. were prepared and
probably less than half a dozen are on
exhibition. One was place in the
Europen Hotel without permission.
Landlord Cummings concluded he was
not running a junk shop and fired the
thing.-Forum.

HEAVY NAVAL GUNS.
Springs to Take Off the Recoil-Quick.

Springs to Take Off the Recoil-Quick-
Loading Devices.
The inventor of the double turret, the
recoil springs for heavy naval guns and
the rapid-loading mechanism for big
guns is Lieutenant Joseph Strauss, of
this city. Seventeen years ago, while
the Strauss family lived in Lynchburg,
Va, it was decided by the Naval De-
partment to appoint twenty-five young
men to the Naval Academy as cadet
engineers, the appointments to be made
on competitive examination. Virginia
won two of the appointments, Joseph
Strauss being one of the lucky men.
After graduating the lieutenant de-
cided to go on board vessels and study
ordnance. AS the result of this study
he evolved the plan of the double tur-
ret, which enables a conservation of fire
unattainable without it's use. While
watching the work of the big guns the
lieutenant was struck with the ineffici-
ency of the hydraulic recoil, which was
constantly getting out of order filing
the floors of the turrets with water and
drenching the men to the skin, render
ing the working Of the guns not only
dangerous but in every way disagree
able. He devised a system of heavy
steel springs, wound in cylinders, which
not only take up the recoil of the guns,

For awhile the cigarette has been
quite respectable. We have been told
by eminent scientists" that it is not
harmful, and careful and costly analy-
ses have shown beyond doubt that it
is not. Lovely Woman has also added
her convincing testimony, and friends
of the human race have been quite en-
couraged. But an estimate just made
from reports of the examining surgeons
of the war department shows that
ninety per cent. of the cigarette smok-
ers who enlisted under the call for
volunteers have been rejected. The
disability" of the cigarette habit at
tracted attention as soon as the exam
nations began, but it was not suppos-
ed that ninety out of every one hum
dred who were addicted to the habit
unfit for military service.
The argument against cigarette
smokers is that the habit humans them
makes them effeminate, unassertive
and weak. The poison, owing to the
pernicious habit of inhaling the
smoke, permeates the system and
creates demand for it's continuous
use. This poison is an insidious thing,
and is much more freely absorbed
through inhalation than through the
ordinary processes of the pipe or the
cigar. The rejection of such a large
percentage of cigarette smokers by our
army surgeons is practical and forci-
BILE reminder of a growing evil 1t will
enlist the concern of many who have
given the subject little attention here
tofore. If, as the surgeons declare, the
habit makes of its victims something
less than men, the Importance of
checking or graduating the practice
will be given more general and more
serious thought.

"TH Il PHILfPPiNESo 4 mar
BLUNDER

To the Editor OF the Journal and Courier.
There may be other causes of the
Spanish war known to the Lord God
Almighty, but we poor mortals, at the
last resort, know of no other cause than
this: For a hundred years more or less
Spain has so misgoverned Cuba (there
is no question about this) as to embar-
rass the political life of the United
States. We are so near that Cuban
juntas have in fact made the United
States their base of operations, involv-
ing us in serious international questions
and causing great expense. The result
of it all has been an intensely hostile
feeling against us by the Spaniard, re-
sulting in the blowing up of the Maine.
In the language of President Mckinley,
Spanish misrule in Cuba has become
an intolerable nuisance to the United
| States
| This wartis to abate that nuisance.
| 1t is not to feed the reconcentrados
| They are already dead. 1t is not to set
up Gomez and Garcia and their follow
| ers into a Cuban republic. The insur-
| gents have mostly been killed. AT least
| they are dead or never existed. Gomez
| and Garcia and their followers are not
as thick as plums in hotel pudding.
We have got to drive Spain out of
| Cuba, and 1t is no easy job The war
will not be a picnic, as some suppose.
| The successful carrying on of the war
will only happen when it's operations
are conducted with view to the only
| desired result-driving Spain out of
| Cuba. Of course we will cripple the
naval power of Spain wherever we find
| it, for that helps us in driving her out
| of Cuba.
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in
| Manila. That was right. 1t relieved
| our Pacific coast of all danger from a
| Spanish fleet. But what on earth are
we thinking of in sending an army and
| navy to capture the Philippine Islands,
six thousand miles away from San
| Francisco? 1t is an enormous under
| taking, and when once undertaken how
can we back out of it? How can we
hand back the Philippines to the mis-
rule of Spain?
| How does the capture of the Phil
| ippines help us drive the Spaniards out
| of Cuba?
| The Philippines and Spanish misrule
| there are no nuisance to us. We don't
want those islands. Whether we do OF
not, why divide our forces and under
| take two great wars at once?
The instant Dewey destroyed the Ma
Mia fleet he should have been ordered
to the Atlantic by the way of the
| Straits of Magellan, following the
course of the Oregon. 1t was not, is
not, our duty to maintain order in the
Philippines. That is for Spain. If she
can't do it let her get into a fight with
England, Russia or Japan, or whatever
| other power might step in to protect its
own interests in those islands. We
have no interests there
If we had called Dewey to the Allan
| tic, by this time his fleet would have
been off Peru or Chill, and in four
weeks more at Key West. He has
what we most urgently need on the
Atlantic, two fast boats-the Olympia
and Baltimore.

Is IT AGdIN IlTlLINENT ?

The elusive Spanish squadron has
finally been located" or, rather, it has
located itself, at Santiago de Cuba
This information is good until some
thing better comes along. How long
the squadron has stayed or will stay
at Santiago de Cuba nobody knows but
the Mephistophelian boss of Spanish
naval movements, and he isn't talking
for publication just now.
Is that great battle imminent
again? Probably not unless the Span
iards really mean to fight, or unless
they get trapped. So far there has
been no indication that they mean TIC
fight or that they will get caught. But
even If they don't mean to fight they
may get careless because they have
had such luck, and may think they car
do things they can't. If they get into
that frame of mind they may get into
irremediable trouble.

A PHEASANT GENTLEMAN.

Some Of the Spanish gentlemen are
cheerful and hospitable fellows. Senior
Enrique Capriles, governor of Santiago
de Cuba, is one of that kind. He kind
ly remarks: 1--WE hear America pur-
poses to assail us with 100000 men.
Some reports say 100000 men, and raw
levies. We invite four times that num-
Der to enrich our fields with their car
easses. The greater number the great
er the glory. Let us keep our hearts
elevated by patriotism and thoughts of
our wrongs. Our flag has been called
the Golden and Bloody Flag of Spain
In our hands may it indeed win that
name"
Senior Enrique Capriles is all right,
but it is not probable that his gentle
invitation will be accepted. The 'com-
mercials" can't afford to make such
use of themselves as he suggests. Some
of them may, however. call upon him
soon, and they will be glad to find him
at home when they call

A GREAT DAY IN BAL?IMORE.

There will be sight worth seeing in
Baltimore to-day. Thirty-seven years
ago on the 10Th of April the Sixth Mas
sachusetts regiment marched through
Baltimore on it's way to do its duty in
the War of the Rebellion. Such was
the sympathy in Baltimore at that
time with the southern cause that the
regiment was mobbed and some of it's
members were killed and others
wounded To-day the Sixth Massachu-
sets regiment will march through Bal
timore on it's way to do it's duty in the
war for the liberation of Cuba. But it
will not be mobbed 1t will be well
coined and cheered and honored. Con-
federate and Union veterans will be its
escort and the city authorities will do
all in their power to make this visit

He also saw that the old fashioned
loading mechanism for heavy gtins was
faulty. He worked out a new device
for loading them, which has made it
possible, as shown by a test recently
made in Texas, to load a 13-ineh gun
in two minutes, instead Of six minutes,
as required under the old machinery.
1t was the intention of his superior Of
ficers to have him occupy a chair in
the Naval Academy, but, being Of q
practical turn of mind, the lieutenant
begged to be allowed the privilege of
studying the actual workings of guns

nance Department who have watched
his remarkable genius say that should
he suffer no misfortune he will contin-

of danger to it's working force.--Lex-

Cape With up-TO-Date Trimming.
In the white and black that are used
for trimming, one color is usually put
over rather than beside, the other.
In hats much black yelling and fibre
net is seen over white, and in dresses
a new trick that produces much the
same effect is crossing white trimming
with black cross-s stitching. Pictured
here is cape ornamented in this man
ner. The garment was made of beige
cloth and was lined with white satin,
the white showing in the draped revers.

sorts of wonderful belts that sell at
very low prices and that have more
shine to the inch than the cost would
seem to explain. Sometimes these are
made in close imitation of the better
belts, and for the girl who wants va
