WORDS OF WISDOM.

Talk about the wisdom OF age, but
listen to this chunk Of philosophy
from the Comet. periodical conduct
ed by the boys and girls OF the Reno
High School. and edited by Miss Jen-
ME Riley, '99. Jennie expresses her
self as follows:
1.-THE newspapers of the State are
having lively time politically. The
supporters OF Senator Stewart charge
his opponents with being 'goldbugs,'
claiming that his defeat would be q
blow to free coinage. On the other
hand. his opponents claim that home
rule is the great question to be do.
cided in Nevada. and further, they
claim they are as good free coinage
men as Senator Stewart.
"Charges and counter charges have
been made and much bad feeling en-
gendered. Keep cool, gentlemen.
Great issues are not decided by calling
Names"
Thanks, Jennie; we didn't know
that before.-Virginia Report.

The grain exporting trade Of our coun.
try exceeds anything ever dreamed Of in
this old world. The wheat shipments Of
old Rome no more compared to our grain
exports than did her ships compare with
the 5000 and 10. OOO-ton vessels Of mod.
ern times. The shipments Of wheat last
year doubled that Of the previous year.
The shipments Of corn in the past twelve
months were 209. .O34. 459 bushels. There
was a great forward stride also in the
expectation Of oats, the aggregate Of
which rose to 69.Os0, 344 bushels and
the combined shipments Of all cereals,
including -four as wheat, reached g total
522, 400, COG bushels. which greatly ex-
ceeded any former contribution from
this country to the food supplies Of the
rest Of the world. The grand aggregate
value Of American bresdstuffs exported
in the past year was 1888, 759. .Sl9.

The American Loss One Killed and Two Wounded
Grand Victory for Our Superb Gunners

Ten Miles West Of the Harbor oil San
tiago de Cuba, July 4, p. m.-Admir-
al Cervera's fleet, consisting of the
armored cruisers Cristobal Colon,
Almirante Oquendo, Infanta Maria
Teresa and Niscaya, and two torpedo
boat destroyers, the Furor and Pluton,
which had been held in the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba for six weeks past,
by the combined squadrons of Rear
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, lies today at the bottom of the
Caribbean sea, off the southern coast
of Cuba.
The Spanish admiral is a prisoner of
war on the auxiliary gunboat Glouces-
ter, and one thousand to fifteen hun
dred other Spanish officers and sailors,
all who escaped the frightful carnage
caused by the shells from the Ameri-
can warships, are also held as prisoners
of war by the United States.
Admiral Cervera made as gallant
dash for liberty and for the preserva-
ton of his ships as ever occurred in the
history of naval warfare.
The Americans saw him the moment
he left the harbor and commenced
their work of destruction Immediately
For an hour or two they followed the
flying Spanlards to the westward along
the shore line, sending shot after shot
into their blazing hulls, tearing great
holes in their steel sides and covering
their decks with the blood of the killed
and wounded
At no time did the Spaniards show
any indication that they intended to do
otherwise than fight to the last They
showed no signals to surrender, even
when their ships commenced to sink
and the great clouds of smoke pouring
from their sides showed they were on
fire. But they turned their vessels
toward the shore, less than mile
away, and ran them on the beach and
rocks, where their destruction was soon
completed.
The officers and men on board then
escaped to the shore as we'll as they
could with the assistance of boats sent
from the American men-of-war, and
threw themselves upon the mercy of
their captors, who not only extended
to them the gracious hand of American
chivalry, but sent them guard to pro-
tect them from the murderous bands
of Cuban soldiers hiding in the bush
on the hillside, eager to rush down and
attack the unarmed, defeated, but val
orous foe.
But she Immediately put about and
followed the other vessels in the race
to the westward and overlook them in
time to join in the chase for the Cristo-
bal Colon after the other Spanish YES
sells had been destroyed by the Brook
Ign, the Oregon, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Indiana, Texas, Gloucester and other
ships of the fleet.
The bluffs on the coast line echoed
with the roar of every explosion and
the Spanish vessels sank deeper and
deeper into the sand or else the rocks
ground their hulls to pieces as they
rolled or pitched forward or sideways
with every wave that washed upon
them from the open sea.

Two Suns In One Sky.

Wonders will never cease A remark
able phenomenon is thus chroDicled by
the Acworth Post, one of the best and
most reliable of Georgia s weekly news
papers:
For the past few days we have heard
considerable talk about the two suns
that were seen in the heavens last Fri
day morning at an early hour Shortly
after the sun had risen in the east an
other sun was distinctly observed in the
western horizon, with magnificent
rainbow between them. The people who
witnessed the phenomenon are much ex
cited over the matter,
Perhaps the above story can be ex
planned by another: Two Georgia farm
ers who had been having high ole
time" in town, started home in a Wagon
at daybreak. "John,' said one to The
other, hanged eff thar amt two suns
shinin yander whar one orter be. "
You're drunk" said John. THAI

The Bulldog q Good Dog.

No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as a sort of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name," is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
ton, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one Of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that Of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldog affection is never to
he doubted. Outing.
