RELICS OF A PAST AGE.
In . subterranean Cave In
West Virginia.

A most remarkable discovery has
been made on the farm of b. A. Prince,
at Belpre, near Parkersburg. w. Va.
A cave heretofore unknown to even the
oldest inhabitant was found. The en-
trance will permit of one person going
in at time, and after proceeding ten
or fifteen feet large room is encoun-
tered, 20 feet square, of solid stone.
Dates are carved in the walls as far
bac kas 1898. In one corner of the
room a stone door, swung on large
steel hinges, leads to stone steps, which
led the explorers to room ten feet
below the first room, which contains
human skeletons in endless numbers.
by the aid of rocks and a rope one can
be lowered to another room, 20 feet
below the aforementioned room, in
which is to be found fish by the hun
dred in a pond, the fish resembling the
common perch. Hundreds of perfect
stone fish are to be found on the floors
of the two Aforementioned rooms, with
dates carved back az far as 1898. The
people are carrying the odd specimens
away for relics.

Catarrh Can be Cured

By eradicating from the blood the scrof-
ulous tsints which cause it. Hoods
Sarsaparills cures catarrh, promptly and
permanently, because it strikes at the
root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which 1t makes,
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucus membrane, soothes and
rebuilds the Tissues, giving them q ten
dency to health instead of disease, and
ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debili
tated victim of catsrrh feel that new life
has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants OF
other local applications, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes
which produce it.

A Washington correspondent writes
the following concerning the wonderful
explosive power OF shell.
"The Navy Department has obtained
very striking conception Of the tre-
mendous power Of shell, bursting with
in the close enclosure of q battleship,
from report which has just been re-
ceived at the department from Captain
Taylor, Of the indiana. Aside from the
actual bursting energy Of the she'll de-
scribed by Captain Taylor, 1t is per-
ceived from bis report that great danger
was experienced from fire owing to the
fact that the Indiana is not, like some

1t is safe to assume that this report, ta-
ken in connection with the destruction
of the Spanish vessels in q large part Of
fire of Santiago, will lead the Navy De-
partment to redouble instead Of relax its
efforts to protect the American warships
from fire by all known scientific means.
Captain Taylor's report reads as fol.
lows:
Omitted States Battleship Indiana, of
Santiago, July s, 1898 About IL mid
night last night the ship was struck by
shell, apparently an 81 mortar, which
pierced the deck, the flash plate between

starboard rail. The shell exploded in
compartment BLOC, just forward Of the
cabin door, fragments piercing the water
tight bulkhead in two places near the
starboard cabin door. Large fragments
pierced the water tight berth deck in
two places, entetering the paymaster's
stateroom. Large fragments also pierced
and completely wrecked the water tight
hatch plate, leading to the orlop deck.
The rooms in the vicinity on both sides
we're badly wrecked, considerable dam
age being to the furniture and corruga-

The law governing the distribution
of this money is very explicit There

effect, and every man, according to his
rank, will be paid in due season. This
statute is as follows:
"A bounty shall be paid by the United
