Letter From Admiral Dewey.

letter written by Admiral George
Dewey to his sister, Mrs. George p.
Greedy of Montpelier, and received
by her Sunday morning May ~:
Flagship Olympia,
Hong Kong, April is, '9S.
We are still waiting for the decla-
ration of war to begin our work out
here. | have seven men-of-war ali
ready for action and should war be
the word, | believe we will make
short work of the Spanish reign IN
the Philippines. The insurgents are
ready to rise at our first gun, and
long before this reaches you we may
be masters of Manila and other
Philippine cities.
But after all war is a terrible thing
and | hope some way out OF the
dilemma may be found without re-
sorting to the very last course.
My health continues good although
it is taxed TO the utmost, and my one
prayer is that | may hold out until
we have finished our work.
Our home news is very old and
we hardly are able to guess how the
case stands.

Fees of Lawyers.

Lawyers have different way of
reckoning the value of their serv-
ices from almost any other class of
professional men or tratlesmen. Fees
which reach the $50, 600 mark have
fallen to the lot of PittsburS law
yers, and, according to IL gentleman
who claims to know, one on.e re-
ceived Il fee of 500, 900.
This same person related several
interesting incidents in connection
with the receipt of large fees by
Pittsburg attorneys. On one occa-
sion II prominent iron manufacturer
of the city engaged an attorney to
go to New York and argue case
in which $3.50, 600 was involved. The
attorney spent one evening looking
up the case, went to New York the
next day. and Oh the next after that
argued the case and won the suit.
Returning to Pittsburg, he sent the
iron manufacturer IL bill for $l2, 600
The latter gentleman became very
indignant at what he considered az
outrageous change and made very
strong representations to Ike a.tor.
ney on the subject. The attorney
said:
"All right, Mr.. -, that is my
bill. If you won't pay it, let it So
l will not sue you either, never
have to sue my clients. "
The iron manufacturer thought
over the matter for Il few days and
then sent u check for the umount.-,

The use Of Gov Grout's portrait
bv a patent medicine firm was taken
very seriously by Nermonters in gen.
eral, but there is very little proba-
bility that anybody of the name of
Dewey will follow the governors

ever, is moved to remark that it
hopes Admiral Dewey will withhold
his consent absol utelv from the use
of his name for advertising pur-
poses. "Of course" says the Week

this would not do. Vermont would
not like it.

Yes, scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement Of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn end well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 30 far as VIC
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years OF faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-

Greater New Works first mayor is
upholding the traditions of rotten
politics in that city in way that is
greatly to the advantage of the Tam
many gang. The removal of Chief
of Police Mccullough, which he
managed to bring about by first
throwing out two Republican police
commissioners is his latest conces-
sion to the Tammany gang and their
workers and Is quite in line with the
old-fashloncd corruption from which
it was thought at one time that the
city had at least partially escaped.
In doing this Van Wyck is said to
have disrcgardcd the charter of the
city and Gov. Black is now asked
by P!att & Co. to remove him. 1t is
not intimated that Platt's motives are
always of the purest, but there seems
to be more than wind in the denun-
cations of the mayor over the recent
developments.
