BLUE GOT RELIEF.
Young Lieutenant Pined Away While
Acting as Steward.

Washington, June Lieutenant
Victor Blue, the nervy young officer
who recently performed the feat of
getting a good view OF the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor by making a
daring detour of seventy-five miles or
SO on Cuban soil, was attached to the
Bennington, which was lying in Homo
lulu harbor about three years ago. He
was then an ensign, and he had not up
to that time been a wardroom caterer.
So he was unanimously elected as soon
as he was attached to the Bennington.
Lieutenant Blue is a giant of a young
man and exceedingly good natured-
But he made a sad hash of the caterers
job. He got his accounts all mixed up
before he had served as caterer a week,
and he had to pay lot of seigniorage
out of his own pocket. The meals he
placed before his messmates were sat
isfactory enough, but the caterers job
wore on Lieutenant Blue a great deal
He figured on how to get his congo.
When a new caterer is elected it is the
custom of the wardroom officers to
weigh themselves every day, in a spirit
of fun, in order to worry the caterer,
and to make it appear by their solemn

went down to the engine room one day
after he had been worried over the
caterers job for week or so and dug
out a big drop scales. He tinkered with
it for a while Then he rugged bo'sun's
chair to it, carried it aft, and suggested
to the officers that when they wanted
to weigh themselves thereafter they
use those scales of his. The officers
didn't suspect anything, and after din
ner the same day several of them
weighed themselves. They had all lost
a pound since the day before. They said
the scales were wrong, and Lieutenant
Blue admitted that perhaps they were.
They all weighed again the next day.
Each of them had lost another pound,
and they began to feel of their waist
bands wonderingly. All of the officers
of the Bennington's wardroom mess
went on losing flesh, according to Lieu
tenant Blues scales, for ten days or
So Then a meeting of the wardroom
officers was called, and Lieutenant Blue
was dropped as caterer, as being IN
competent and no account, anyhow
Lieutenant Blue didn't have to serve as
caterer for the rest of that cruise, and
he wore a smile of deep content every
time he looked at weighing appar-

row of candidates of twenty-five sem
Tors, all wearing the United States uni

light artillery, of the volunteer service.
Although by reason of their volunteer
ing the college courses had not been
completed, the corporation had voted to
confer upon them the degrees so nearly
earned and they received their diplo-

A number of honorary degrees were
conferred, including the following:

Censumption Cured.
soUcHr BACK FROM THE CRAVE.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr. Joseph James,
painter, of 525 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
CONSUMPTION. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost miracle.

CHICAGO'S OWL TRADE.
Tt Threatens the Popularity of the
Doneatfc Cat

Chicago, June 30.-Chicago has a nov
Ell trade in owls, the supply coming to
the commission merchants from the
farmers boys in the nearby states.
The first owl which came to Chicago in
this manner was sent as a venture by
farmer boy, who had somehow man.
aged to entrap it alive. 1t proved so
unexpectedly successful In Kidding the
warehouse Of rats and Inice-having
been freed at night with the idea of
making an experiment in this direction
that 1T was purchased by the man in
whose care 1T was resting. The free
dom from rodents which 1t brought in
duced other commission men to look out
for owls, and from commission men the
idea gradually spread to the grocers,
butchers and market keepers generally
the city. Now a large percentage of
these men keep an owl down in the eel
lar during the daylight, and bring it up
to the store when darkness falls 1t
is said that the expense and care of
maintaining owls is more than repaid
by their services in vanquishing the
rats and mice The owners and jan
itors of the large apartment houses of
the city are also beginning to realize
the value of possessing an owl when
rats mice, cockroaches and vermin gen.
orally are to be exterminated

following:
TT is now 30 days since I issued a
challenge in behalf Of Jack DAILY to
meet Kid Lavigne for the champion
ship at the light weight limit. Lavigne
has made no reply. He no doubt has
such a horrid recollection of what took
place at Cleveland on the 18th of last
March that the mention of Days name
causes him to see stars. Daily is, ac-
cording to all rules of the ring, entitled
to the championship. and hereby
claim it in his behalf. He is ready to
defend 1t against all CONGREGATIONAL
ty or color not barred. Daily is now
matched against Jimmie Curran, of
England, to meet on the 18th of July.
After that date he will be ready to meet
any man in the world at 1873 pounds,
and will give Lavigne the first chance.
I'm reply to Spike SulIIvan's publish
ed desire to meet Daily, wish to say
that he can be accommodated, and Daily
will agree to knock him out inside of %
rounds or forfeit all claim to any part
Of the purse. Sincerely,

Small Courtesiss.

We are all born but once. Most
of us marry but once. We certainly
can die but once. And if we look at
life "as small bundle of great
things, we shall certainly not think
it worth while to practice small
courtesies. But if we regard it, far
more truly, as "a big bundle of
small things, we shall as certainly
feel that few things in life are bet
ter worth doing. 1t may never be
in our power to save anybody's life,
make for anybody fortune, shed
luster upon the family name, die for
our country, or set the smallest
river on fire in any way whatever,
but if we conscientiously and sweet
ly give ourselves to the practicing
of small courtesies, only the record
ing angel can ever set down the
good we shall do in our day and
generation to hundreds and thou
sands Of our fellow creatures in the
course of a lifetime.
