dashes. The idea of a Gustavus Adolf
phus invoking blessing from above in
front of his regiments before opening
battle, or of the roundheads of the
Cromwellian age, so well delineated by
Walter Scott, had always something
strange in it. The admonition to
trust to Cod was generally assoclat
ed with the mundane advice, land keep
your powder dry" as Col. Blacker adj
vised his "ooys" In short, fighting,
both by sea and land, has been coupled
more with his satanic majesty than
with anybody else. The God of bat.
ties usually came in for His share be-
fore the fray to assure His assistance,
or afterward to express gratitude,
1t is certainly not the least insignlf-
cant experience of the present war that
officers in high command think of the
GOD of battles" when the fray is on.
No doubt many a commander is true
Christian but few will have the trul
manhood to avow their religious senti-
ment while shells are bursting and
bullets are whistling around their ears
One of these few is John w. Philip
commander of the United States battle
ship Texas, who demolished Sacopa
battery on Santiago bay and who
helped to send Admiral Cerveras fleet
to the bottom on the eve of the "glori-
GUS Fourth"
1t is indeed a strange contrast, the
conduct Of Capt. Jack" during and
after the great battle off Santiago on
Sunday, July 8, and the conduct of
many heart of oak" on similar oc-
casions. Touching as well as fine
sample of the American sailor is Capt.
Philips remarks to his crew when an
American shell exploded the magazine
OF the Oquendo and the boys began to
cheer tremendously: Don't cheer,
boys, when SO many brave fellow has

the great battle, when the Texas lay
alongside the Cristobal Colon after the
latter had been beached and surrender
ed to the American commander, Capt
Philip said to his officers and men: 81

of the Texas, but my faith in you is
secondary only to my faith in God.
We have seen what He has done for us
in allowing us to achieve so great a
victory, and l want to ask you all,
or at least every man who has no scru-
pies, to uncover his head with me and
silently offer word of thanks to God
for His goodness toward us ALL" What
a strange contrast, indeed, between
this silent prayer and the customary
wild shouts Of victory!
Chaplain Harry w. Jones of the bat
tle-ship Texas furnishes these and 9TH
er incidents of the pronounced re-
ligious sentiment of Capt Philip.
On one occasion, prior to this battle,
so disastrous to Cervera's feet, the
captain was called on board the flag
ship for a council of war 1t was also
a Sunday, and the decision was
reached to lombard the forts of San
tiago bay that afternoon, when Capt.
Philip said:

Admiral, this is Sunday. l do not
think we should fight today. We may
be sorry if we do
The bombardment was deferred until
the next morning.
The strong religious faith of Capt
Philip is corroborated by Edwin S.
Wheelock, of this city, president Of

pany. whose brother married sister
of the captain.
From all | know about him." said
Mr.. Wheelock, 81 know he hates to
hurt any human being, yet, if his duty
calls him, l know he will fight as
bravely as any warlike Christian of an
cient times. You can readily imagine
what the officers and crew of such a
commander are. He is a very quiet
man, almost reserved, in fact but he is
a great fayorite wherever he is known,
with his equals in society as well as
with his men in his capacity Of com
mander."

not prevented him from being a good

Washington, August 13.-The army
will not now be scattered. Twill De
kept consolidated, at least until the
question of garrlsons for Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines has been es-
pec.ally decided upon. This was the
statement Secretary Alger made to me
this morning.
"Of course said lie, mo detailed
plan of the government can be given
under circumstances such as these, but
orders for disseminating hostilities Will
be Immediately sent out to the differ
ent commanders, and their orders
could be put in five words as far as
am concerned"
"You will Immediately cease hostl-
tiles" That would be the terse way
in which Secretary Alger would phrase
the orders.
"The troops at Montauk Point will
not be Immediately assigned to sta
tlons." he continued. THE work of
garrisoning the islands must be taken
up before any change in the organiza-
ton of the army is effected. Undoubt-
eddy, a large force will be required in
Cuba. These troops will be put at
different important points in Cuba.
The regiments that will go have not
yet been designated 1t will be the
policy of the administration to have
all the states represented, as far as
possible, so that there may be no pos
sible basis for complaint of unjust dis
elimination, which it is desired to
avoid.
"The army will remain in Porto Rico.
am not certain that 1t will be increas-
ed, as that seems to be the most at
tractlve territory, and as we are in
full possession of that island with no
doubt of consent as to our claims.
But it will take a much larger force to
garrison Cuba, and the additional
troops will be sent over as soon as
| from sanitary standpoint it is safe
to do So"
Secretary Alger said that under the
act creating the new army, they had Il
right to call for services of volunteers
at any time within the period of en-
listment. 1t is realized that many of
the men sent to garrlsons will have to
be brought home from sickness. A
large number of troops, therefore, Will
be kept under orders in the country for
recruiting purposes.

Uninspected Horsef1esh Exported
The American government has never
taken official cognizance of horseflesh
as an article of export. Nevertheless,
it is being exported. If this trade be
allowed to go on it should be subjected
to the same inspection rules as beef
and other meats that are ordinarily ex-
ported. If this be not done, the meat
trade of this country will suffer, for
the reason that the prejudice awakened
by the unsanitary horsefesh will pass
over to the other meats. We can not
claim that man being citizen of
the United States necessarily makes
him an angel, and therefore we must
look out for the rogue among us that
he does not bring our good name into
disgrace in foreign lands. Recently
the authorities in Sweden inspected
some horsefesh imported from Amer
lea and claim to have found it to be
of character entirely unfit for food,
the flesh being evidently from diseased
animals.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting if the locks were short and
scanty,: 1t almost as serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of Chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow OF their former brightness. Such
loss is no longer necessity. There is
one remedy. which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruff, and re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. Dr.; Ayers Hair vi gor is stand
