NOT or THE NAVY.
Commenting on that feature Of the re-
port stating that some Of the men got
drunk, naval officials expressed the opin-
ion that these men were not seamen Of
the navy. but were sailors from the
wrecking crew.
No orders were issued by the Navy De-
partment M to the close OF Office hours
as 10 the disposition Of Lieutenant-Com-
mander Harris and his crew and Captain
Crowninsheld, of the Bureau OF Naviga-
ton. said no orders would be formulated
tonight.
II IS said at the Navy Department that
provision was made by which the Teresa
could have weathercd any ordinary
storm. A rough wooden deck had been
nailed over her upper works. Her hull
was then sheathed and heavy chains were
wound around her so as 10 hold her to-
gether Although far from seaworthy all
that was expected was the cruiser might
be kept afoat until locked in this coun-
try. She had been stripped OF all guns
and valuablos save the big turret eleven
inch guns before starting, so that IL is
believed there will be no loss on that ac-
count.
THE GOVERNMENTS LOSS
It is tho opinion of the Navy Depart
ment that the Government has lost, be-
sides the value of the ship herself. only
the amount Of the per diem of $500 per
day through the sinking Of the vessel.

The first thing I'm order now is court

no option IN the case OF a loss OF

which led Commander Harris TO choose

ODD SEWING MACHINES.
ome of the More Curious of the Uses to
Which They Are Put.

The ~buttonhole sewing machine Is ia
miliar, but il is probable that the but
ton-sewing machine is less so. Such
machines. however, have been used for
years. The same button-sewing ma
chine might serve to sew on buttons of
a dozen styles n sizes. but they would
all be buttons with the eyes at the
same distances apart. There are many
buttons of various sizes as to diameter
whose eyes are punched alike. Button
sewing machines are most commonly
used to sew on buttons that are placed
close down to the fabric, as on under
wear, and any other things. They
are not used to sew on buttons as they
are often sewed on clothing, where, af-
ter sewing IN the button, the thread
is drawn with a few tight turns around
between the button and the cloth, thus
raising the button upon a little column.
Ordinarily in the use of sewing ma
chimes the material is fed to the ma
chine. In sewing carpets the machine
travels along the carpet. The carpet
with the edges to be sewed together is
stretched and held between the sup
ports of a frame. The carpet-sewing
machine is placed on the double edge of
the carpet along which il travels, as il
is operated, sewing Is II goes. There
are carpet-sewing machines that are
operated by hand, and also machines
that are operated by power.
Sewing machines have long been used
for a great variety OF leather work.
Some Of the machines used for such
purposes, as, for example, sewing ma
chimes used for stitching leather or rub
Der betting, are powerful machines that
stitch through such materials half or
three-quarters OF an inch or more in
thickness. Besides machines used for
stitching leather there are also made
sewing machines that are used for
stitching paper in blank books and
others

A consumptive patient, who made use of Ripans
Tabules, found his weight increased but was made anxious
because expectoration ceased, and feared on that account
that harm would result, but on consulting a physician he
learned that Ripans Tabulcs do not affect the conditions
of the lungs in any material degree, but If they do so at
than to suppress it. Consequently there is no reason why
a consumptive should discontinue the use of Ripans Tab
ules because expectoration has ceased. Furthermore, in
lung troubles an increase in weight Is the best indication
of Improvement, and as the Tabules regulate the diges-
ton they increase nutrition and are doing the very service
required to produce best results.

Fitzhugh Lee leading the first Ameri'
can land assault on Havana, with young
Algernon Sartoris, Grants grandson
serving as a volunteer aid de camp on
Lees staff
In so far as the two themselves are
concerned, they have already placed
themselves in line for just such service

honor of heading the American charge

will enable HIM to command victory in

just attained his majority, has made
formal application to General Lee fol
service on the old ex Confederate's staff
explaining that his grandmother, Mrs
Ulysses S, Grant, desires that in the
event of war "a Grant and a Lee shall
fight together"

by both men is typical of the national

the future is dreary waste, the young
wife who is a helpless, nervous invalid,
the mother whose babes are burden in
stead of blessing, all these, unless they
take the right measures to recover their

majority of cases these ghosts of women
owe their condition to weakness and dis
