The cable says several vessels Of the
Cape Verde fleet have returned to
Spain. Probably that is where Ad-
miral Villamil and the remainder Of

account for the fact that we have not
heard from Admiral Sampson. He is
probably industriously engaged in
chasing them and a stern chase is
proverbially long one.

Monsignor Martinelli, Apostolic Dele
gate Washington:

Some journals. especially English,
are diffusing insinuations with regard
to the Holy See in the present Spanish
American conflict, as though the Holy
See were taking the part of one or the
other of the conflicting parties 1t is
superfluous to deny such foolish talk,
the perfectly proper attitude which the
Holy See has maintained and will main
tain toward the two nations being
known to all, the HolySee having no
other desire than that for peace You
will make such use of this as you deem
opportune.

Gov. Atkinson says he fears to re-
lease Cap Hatfield from prison and
put him with the troops lest he
should escape. The Governors fears
may be well grounded, but we have a
notion that the terror of the West Vir-
ginia- Kentucky border is really in
earnest in his expressed desire to en-
list against the Spanish. He is an old
sharpshooter and a born fighter, and
would probably like nothing better
than to indulge his propensity to Kill

Every American will regret the
treacherous murder of the Spanish
Admiral Montojo by the enraged
Spanish population of Manila after the
destruction of his feet by Commodore
Dewey The Spanish admiral fought
bravely to the last and as well as he
knew how with the men under his
command. He would have Jared
infinitely better had he fallen into the
hands of his gallant American enemy
rather than into those of his own
people. This is another touch that
well illustrates the Spanish character.

LIVER cLoGGINe.
When Your Stomach Clogs your Liver
 See to Your Digestion.

Soe to Il our NlSeStioh'
 Not one person in thousand knows that the cause of biliousness is the clogging of the liver by the polsons or Indigestion. Nor that the only proper cure for 1t Is tonic to aid the stom- ach. But modern medicine declares the truth of it. And the Shakers nave proved it by the wonderful success or their Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 One of the most important uses or the liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to find their way into the blood. When it's clogged 1t can do this.
 Undigested food ferments and putre- fies in the stomach, and the poisons or putrefaction clog and paralyze the liV- CT, after which they. find their way into the blood
 Here is the true explanation or all the distressing disorders and comph- cations caused by indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial Is the only tonic cordial which aids the stomach in natural way to digest its food. By this means it cures indigestion, restores the liver and frees the body from poi son and disease.
 Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, men, tai depression, weakness, bad taste, fe- yer, fatulence, constipation, loss of ap- petite, anaemia, rheumatism and many other disorders are relieved and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial. At druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.

Funeral of Ella Antoinette Hotchkiss.

Funeral of Ella Antoinette Hotchlsiss.
 At o'clock Saturday afternoon the funeral services of the late Ella An toinette Hotchkiss were held at her late residence, 137 Main street, Westville Only two week and two days ago the
 same sad rites were performed for her
 mother. The same clergyman, the Rev.
 MT. Sexton of St. James, Westville,
 and Rev. MT. Phillips of St. Pauls, New Haven officiated. The same pall- ! bearers, Charles Gould and John C..
 Miles of New Haven, and William A..
 Pratt and John Alden of Westville, rendered similar services. Mrs. Borden sang the same beautiful words 'Thy | Will be Done" and "The Christians | Good Night" which she had so beau- tifully rendered scarcely more than l two weeks before.
 | Many relatives and friends attended
 the services, and very beautiful were the floral offerings. From absent | friends came tributes of remembrance | tions and other choice emblems. She loved the flowers, which to her were l Gods messengers of comfort.
 l At the head of the casket was a 1 beautiful pillow, given by her devoted friend, with the inscription At Rest which, like the calm, peaceful face be-
 low, spoke eloquently of the release l from intense suffering, which the low l ing care of friends and the skill of her physician, Dr. Frank H. Whittemore | could no longer alleviate.
 She was laid to rest by her mother
 who had so lately preceded her. They spend their first Easter together in the | land where there is no more suffering | Until the Easter glory lights the skies,
 Until the dead in Jesus shall arise,
 And He shall come, but not in lowly guise- Good night! Good night. Good night"

THE PRICE OF SHOES.
Why Is It So Low Compared With t

Why Is It So Low Compared With the
 Cost of Producing Them?
 The problem we find the most difi-
 cult to wrestle with is: What can be
 the reason why shoes are so low com
 pared with the cost of producing them,
 and why does not leather bring enough
 to yield any profit on the labor of
 manufacturing it, at the lowest rates
 at which hides can be bought? All this
 would be readily comprehensible if 1t
 were true that the stocks of shoes were
 excessive, but the weight of evidence
 supports the proposition that such is
 not the case. That there will be shoes
 enough to accommodate the demand
 may be taken for granted. There are extensive factories in which to make them and ample material to make them of. But that there will be so many more than enough as to render the pro- ductfon of them as unremunerative as
 it is now for any great~length of time, we consider highly improbable. We entertain the belief that the surplus holdings of vendors and consumers are essentially reduced; that they have been using up their reserves to such an | extent that they will require addition al supplies in sufficient quantities to | establish values which will admit of | satisfactory profits to producers.
 | Our conviction in this respect is strengthened by the undisputed fact | that dealers are almost all asking that the shoes they have bought or are buy | ing should be dispatched to them with | the least possible delay. The natural l inference is that they withheld their orders as long as they could, and longer
 than they have been accustomed to; l that they are accordingly running ! short, and find it necessary to replen-
 ish quickly. This applies, of course, l chiefly to shoes that are worn by the masses and sold at low figures; but of l these there are vast quantities consum- l ed, and when the stocks of them in sec- l ond and third hands fall below the average a great many are needed to make up the deficiency, especially at a ] time of the year when the want of I shoes is most pressing. Of the more l expensive kinds, of which fewer are
 worn, prices are less, and perhaps not at all inadequate. But we have the | idea that the rates alike of the low and
 the high priced will be equably ad- justed presently to the advantage
 equally of sellers and buyers.

Warner, has with the amount paid by the insurance companies, succeeded in making a plain old style block tene- ment into a beautiful up to date affair the embellishments including hard wood finish and floors, high panelled hall with settles, modern stairs, art glass doors, bevel mirrors, closets and window seats, open sanitary plumbing, etc. The walls are decorated with the latest styles of paper by John H. Platt, and the entire outside of the block is being painted in light colors by him al- so. A personal inspection would repay one interested in handsome, low price homes.

MONARCH OF THE GRAND PRAI-
 RIE
Battle Between a Buffalo and Score
 of Wolves.

Battle Between a Buffalo and Score
 of Wolves.
 Take your stand here on this bluff and you can look down upon a spec tacle as exciting as anything offered in the days of bloodthirsty Roman sports. Stretching away to the north is dip and hollow and broken ground for a mile. Then comes the grand prairie, sweeping clear to the south fork of the Platte before it surrenders to the hills.
 Did ever human king have grander throne! He stands on knoll covered with rich sweet grass, and even with the naked eye you can see the volets and bluebells and forget-me-nots peep ing between the blades, It is a throne of wildfowers.
 Ten miles away are a dozen moving black specks. They are buffaloes. Nothing else with life in it is nearer. The kings domains are rich in food and drink, and the early morning sun shine tells of peace and harmony. He stands with head elevated, and as he slowly turns in his tracks he sniffs the air for scent of danger. Who is our king? A buffalo bull-nature's mon- arch of the grand prairie. How came he here alone and depriv- ed of companionship. Men become cynics and world-haters and shake off all attempts at friendliness. So with wild animals. This monarch is here to pout and sulk and feel aggrieved and plan for revenge.
 An! High above him, with every foot of ground under your eyes, you could see no danger. His keen scent warns him of peril, and a wolf breaks cover not one hundred feet away in a manner to startle you. He seems to rise from the very earth-not with a bound and a yell, but with a quiet coolness that bodes evil.

EASTER AT WELCOME HALL.
Programme. of Services Held There
 Yesterday.


 The programme of the Easter ser- vices at Welcome hall yesterday after noon was unusually attractive. The platform was decorated with palms and recitations by children in which the parts taken by the primary class were most pleasing, formed the larger part of the service. One exercise was the placing by fifteen little children of white floral letters to form the words Resurrection Day" against a green background. A noticeable feat ure was the superior character of the music, which included 70, the golden glowing morning" and Jerusalem the Golden" by Le Jeune. In both of these Miss Grace Porter sang the so- prano obligato. The high grade of the music and the childrens enjoyment of such selections as these and Wood mans "Hark, my soul. 'tis Easter morn" demonstrated the possibility and value of teaching such music in Sunday schools.
 The music was varied by Miss Took's effective solo singing of There is a Green Hill Far Away" At the close each scholar received either a carna- ton or a daffodil and the members of the primary class each had in addi- ton colored Easter egg.
 The evening service consisted also largely of music, which like that of the afternoon, was under the direction of F. B. McAllister of Yale seminary, but

AT ST. ALoYs1us CELEBRATION
Twenty fifth Anniversary of the Found

TWenty-fifth Anniversary of the Found
 ing of the Society Observed.
 The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of St. Aloysius T. A. and B. society took place at the hall last night. The members of the society and their friends were in full attendance and the hall was well filled. A musical programme was rem dered by local talent and almost every number was encored. Richard Gordon made his first appearance and created favorable impression by his singing. The committee who had charge of the meeting occupied seats upon the plat form. J. F. Brennan was the chair man. He introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. L.M Lake of St. Louis, third vice president of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of America, and referred to her having been con- nected in work with Miss Frances Will lard. Mrs. Lake spoke quietly but forcibly. Her jestures were few and simple, but quite to the point. She spoke of the appropriateness of cele- brating the founding of society in- tended to save men from drink, upon the same day as the celebration of the | resurrection of Christ. She said that the same divine providence which caused the total abstinence movement | to be started in Ireland sixty years ago was behind the founding of the St. Aloysius T. A. and B. society in | New Haven.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION ol
 SHIPBOARD.


 At meeting in September last F. M. Syme addressed the Insurance Insti- ute of Victoria on the subject of Causes of Fire" and gave some very interesting information with regard to what is commonly known as "the spon- taneous combustion of coal cargoes." This phenomenon by which many good ships have been destroyed, was at one time attributed either to the oxidation of iron pyrites, an impurity always present in coal, or to the influence of moisture. Experiment has shown that both these theories are untenable, and it is now believed that this mischief is due to the chemical action set up by the absorption in the coal of atmos- pheric oxygen. Large coal where the proportion of surface to bulk is com paratively small, is the safest and any heat that may be evolved is rapidly carried off by the air spaces between the Jumps. But, owing to the rough manner, in which coals are generally dumped into a ships hold, the coal is broken up into fragments, and it is pre- pared, as it were, for spontaneous com bustion. It is found, moreover that the fire invariably begins just be- low the hatchway. where a cone of broken coal is formed by this rough method of loading. It has also been ascertained that large bulk of coal is more liable to combustion than a small one, and that loading during a high summer temperature has direct bear ing upon the liability of coal ships to this form of accident.-Chamhers Jour nal.
