In MenOrianl.

There arc times when tho heart of a
whole community beats to the same pulse
of griof, and 80 it was on that sad ninth
of May which brought us tidings of Mr..
II. ID. A. Biemann's death. That tho tall,
vigorous form was laid low in death with
so little warning, was SOLEMN thought.
Thore are probably few men whose
personality is moro part of thoir town
than was his, who was born hero when
Walhalla was in its infancy. His fathers
honored name was identified with the
place from it's earliest inception, and
every congregation Of Christian worship
per's in this town owes to the elder Mr..
Biomann tho lot on which their house of
worship stands.
TO this literally his son was worthy
heir. How ho was loved lot tho tears
sheo by his opSSin grave bear witness.
From miles away people gathered, many
in the morning, to pay their last tribute
to their friond. ..
In that crowded church, where were
gathered "high and low, rich and poor,
ono with another" there was no dry eye
whom the still form, 50 latoly part of
tho busiest life of tho town. was borne
by tho hands of bis follows up tho aisle
walked, with glad thanksgiving heart, to
500 his young daughters confirmed.
1t was a moving sight, that mourning
congregation, mourning as we'll for the
orphans bercaved rs for tho friend takon.
And equally moving it is to hear, little
by little, the words which show how
real, how personal is tho mourning foI
him. His children's sobs arc echoed in
many a cabin, many an humble homo.
looked over that crowded church, :"
said ono who knew him we'll, "and
thought how few would remain seated If
some one should say, Lot ovcry ono rise

"Ah," said an old negro man, "thelS's

Anatomical.

A quack doctor stood on his
wagon Mt street corner selling his
cure-all. A group of people gath
cred about him, and he undertook to
explain to them the anatomy of the
throat.
"My dear fricnds," he began, "per-
haps you don't know it, but there
are two passages that go from the
back of the mouth to the stomach.
One is called the @sophagus, and tho
other is Gsophagi. Now, the solid
victuals 60 down the msophagus,
and the liquids down the nsophagi.
"Over the tops of the holes is q
cover with hinges in the middle, and
when you swallow beefsteak the lit
tie door over the @sophagus flies
open, and the little door over the
Gsophagi drops down, and vice versa
when you take a drink of coffee"
This description proved too much
for q farmer who stood on the edge
Of the crowd. Shaking with laugh

HARBOR OF SANTIAGO.
Description Of the Place Where Ger
vera's Ships are Said to be
Bottled UD.

Tho port of Santiago do Cuba, in which
tho Cape Vordo fleet, commanded by
Admiral Cervera, is said to be bottled up,
is situated on tho southeast coast of
Cuba. BY land it is 500 miles from
Havana, which is situated diagonally
across tho island, On tho north west coast.
The distance by water is from 900 to 900
miles.
Tho harbor of ,nr port is ono of the
of access. From the sea \ dcop but mar
row channel leads into tho harbor be-
tween fringing reefs. Tho channel is
Ovor mile long and at it's narrowest
point only about 5d0 feet wide. Its
greatest width is said to be only an eighth
of an mile.
Once in the harbor great depth of
wator Is found, and space for tho accom-
mediation of q large fleet.
Santiago City is situated at the head of
tho harbor four or five miles from tho
sea. 1t has had in ordinary times popu-
latiOn Of $4,000, largely composed Of
blacks. Before tho outbreak of the
revolution, which has paralyzcd all
business ON tho island, it's commercial
Importance was second only to that of
Havana. There arc numerous handsome
buildings in tho city, public and private,
including the residences of tho arch
bishop and tho governor of tho province.
Although tho peculiar entrance to tho
harbor would seem to mako it possible
to fortify. tho port imprognably. tho
dcfcnses of tho harbor are not roputod
formidable. The Notifications arc said
TO DO oiiioiiy of ih'.soitry, vi fittie use
against modern high. pressure gums, and
tho guns mounted there arc genorally
old-fashioned smooth -boros.
On tho land side there are numer rous

which have been sufficient to keep back
the insurgents, unprovidcd with artillery
Novertholoss, for many months General
.Tcia has kept tho city practically in a
state OF siege. Communication with tho
western part of the island has boon had
almost wholly by water.
The chief fortifcation of Santiago is
MORO Castle 1t stands out boldly on q
hill east of tho harbor, making q most
conspicuous target for tho guns of %
hostile fleet.
MORO Castle is rambling, irregular
fort, noither circular nor oblong in shape
1t is about 1900 yards around the struot-
urc. Tho fort Is known to have five
modern 10-inch guns and largo number
OF Othor old"stylo cannon.
Directly opposite MORO Castle Is tho
Block house, q small stono building,
strengthened with heavy railroad iron.
This building has some good guns in

of Cuba, for thoy havo boon rocontly
placed in position.
Along the entrance to tho harbor arc
tho Estrella and another small battery,
and tho Santa Catalina fort, mono Of
which Is supposed to be formidable. The
Blanco battery within tho city limits IS q
small affair.
Tho harbor is further protected by p
number of masked batteries, located at
points on both sides Of the harbor.

"Gumpti0n' and q File.

If boy has any "mechanioal fac
ulty," if it comes handy to him to
use tools, let him be thankful. Suoh
a gift of nature-''gumption," it is
sometimes called-deserves to be
cultivated, though it may never serve
him quite as we'll as it served a man
who tells his story in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Ho opened door for,
himself in q really striking manner.
When I was fourteen years old,
he says, it became necessary for me
to go out into the world and earn
my share of the family expenses. I.
looked about with small success for
week or two, and then 1 saw card
hanging III a store window, "Boy
Wanted" >-~-;S
pulled down my aaiss s..si|aSaslfeu the g.
front of my jacket and walked in.
"Do you want boy ?" 1 asked of
the clerk.
"Baok Office" he said.
walked back to the little den
with high partition around it, and
pushing open the door, which
noticed was slightly ajar, cap in
hand, stepped in.
1t was chilly day in November,
and before I spoke TO the proprietor,
who was bending over a desk, L
turned to close the door. 1t squeaked
horribly as 1 pushed it shut, and
then l found that it wouldn't latch.
1t had shrunk 80 that the socket.
which should have caught the latoh,,
was q trifle too high. T was boy
OF some mechanical genius, and I
noticed what tho trouble was imme-
diately.
"Where did you learn to close
doors% said the man at the desk.
turned around quickly. "
CAT home, sir" ...
"Well, what do you want?"
"l came to see about the boy
wanted," answered.
"Oh!" said the man with erunt.
lie seemed rather gruft, but some
how his crisp speech didn't discour-
age me. "Sit down." he added, "I'm
busy" "
| looked back at tho door.
eff you don't mind," said I, "and
II little noise won't disturb you, I'll
fix that door while Pm waiting"
"Eh," he said quickly. "All right.
Go ahead"
had been sharpening my skates
that morning, and the short file |
used was still in my pocket. In q
few minutes I had filed down the
brass socket so that the latch fitted
nicely. / closed the door two or
three times to SEQ that it was all
right. When I put my file back in
my pocket and turned round, the
man at the desk was staring at me.
"Any parents? ?" he asked. ~
"Mother," answered.
"llave her come in here with you
at 2 O'clock" he said, and turned
back to his writing.
At twenty-five I was a partner in
the house; at thirty-fvo / had half
interest, and 1 have always attributed
the foundation of my good fortune
TO the only recommendation 1 then
had in my possession---the file.--.

After doing the "Dagoes" for two
hours we steamed slowly away and
are now making our way back to
Cuba.
FUNERAL OF THE GUNNER's MATE.
do not know whether l am more
tender hearted: now than ct yore, or
whether my late associations with
"Boar" made mo feel his death
kcener, but l certainly have never
attended moro impressive scene
than his funeral. He was sewed up
in his hammock and laid out on the
upper deck on the carriage to the
third field piece, and was wrapped
in jack. The captain ordered all
hands called to the quarter deck and
he read the Episcopal service over
the body, whom he ordered it COM
mitted to the dceps. As it slid off
the gun carriage and slipped down
the board, rugged over the side, the
usual salute of five guns was fired,
and 40 tho body strnok tho water and
sunk taps were sounded.
I looked around as the service was
being read and though the scene was
q sad ono, l could not help from OBJ
serving the numerous uniforms that
the crew wore, some in white, will,
and without jumpers, somo in blue
without shirts and some i'll mixed
habilament, several fircmen, (who
were on watch,) stood in the hatch
way with only pair of trousers on,
but in one particular they were all
alike, every man stood, in the torrid
sun, with his head bare.
READY FOR TIE NEXT BOUT.
And though our experience is 80
bitter we are ready for another bout,
and expect to be in the storming of
Havana at an early date. You can
imagine how badly we arc faring
for instance, we cannot sleep below
and it rains every night in this eli
mate, so if you sleep at all you must
prepare to do so floating around in
about six inches of water on the
supcrstructure deck. There is an
others great drawback to the climate
in our case, when it rains it just
comes down in buckets full for fif-
teen or twenty minutes, and then it
clears off and the stars come out as
pretty as though it had never raincd
at all. OF course, after the rain is
over everything is soaked and if you
had to get up to keep from drown
ing, you have to sleep sitting up for
the rest of the night, or until the
deck dries sufficient to lay your
caulking mat on it.
FREE AND EASY.
AS for routine, we have done away
with everything that ever smells of
the least flavor of routine. We wear
just what we please, 60 where we
please, eat and sleep whc:o VIC
please. 1t is not an extraordinary
sight to see the petty officers sitting
knccling or standing in groups on
the quarter deck, when the sea will
allow, with our dinners before us
too hot to stay on the berth deck
