Il will be remembered that a short time

1t will be remembered that short time
ago, when John Y McKane made appli-
cation for a pardon, it was represented
that he could not live his term out. Well
he has been released by the expiration of
his term, and it is reported that he looks
exceedingly we'll, and able to resume bnsi-
ness at once at the old stand.n He has
gone back to his old home at Gravesend,
but he will be handicapped by the fact
that, although an inhabitant, be is not a
citizen, his four years in the State Prison
having deprived him of that political priv
iIege. He is said, however, to have many
friends left, and it is not unlikely that he
will endeavor to re-establish himself as
the political boss.of Coney Island. Why
not. when other political bosses who as
richly deserve term in the State Prison
as McKane did, Notwithstanding their Of

maintain their influence and to sway the

Tennessee is known as the Volunteer
State, titled gained in the war of 1872,
the Mexican war and Indian wars. Then
in the civil war she furnished big quota
to the Confederates and a smaller one to
the Union army. Under the Presidents
call Tennessee's quota is only about 5000
two-thirds the strength of the National
Guard, while the Adjutant General of the
State has on file in his Office the applica-
tions of over 10000 volunteers outside
the National Guard and expresses himself
as confident that Tennessee alone would, if
given the opportunity, furnish enough
volunteers to satisfy the Presidents entire
call for $4,000 men.

Somerset Messenger "The Unt5nist-
Gazette scoIds its party, in mild way, for
the retention of the Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners, and for its refusal to
have the laws published in the news papers;
and there is more truth than poetry in its
utterances. The Board in question last
year cost the State over $4,000 of this
sum $4,000 was spent in stocking the
streams with fish (which is all right, and
the most of the balance went into the
pockets of the wardens for salaries and
expenses (which is all wrong). Publish
the laws in the papers so that the people
may know what the laws are, and the
people can be depended on to see that
they are properly enforced. No assistance
will be required from his body of secret
police,who go around the State prosecuting
and presenting the citizens for the sake
of the few dollars there are in it"

Since 1776 the American people have

The Revolutionary war cost them $780,

The doubts expressed in some quar-

be just as good as that which most of
the nations have to great part Of the
territory which they hold We shall
have better title than the nation we
are driving out has had. SPANS right

The country has SO far settled
down to the war as to take reports
from the front with complacent in
credulity pending their verifying.
The rumors of some sort of an
action off Santiago are persistent,
but the country is not excited
over them. There is a feeling that
they will keep and a confidence
that the result will be satisfactory,
even if we have to wait while to
be sure of it.
AS The News pointed out yes
terday, the governments purposes
would seem to be unhampered
without the present destruction of
Cervera's fleet, which, indeed, it
would be worth while to capture
without destroying. Still, Of
course, if the Spanish ships sought
to steal out they would be throt-
tied, and if the forts opened on any
OF our ships they would likely be
at once demolished.
II is terribly hot off Santiago.
Blockade duty at the best is de-
moralizing. On the steaming
waters off Southern Cuba, with
the other contributory conditions
that exist, the spirit of the Amer
lean sailors must be strong to sail
in at once and finish the business
that they will sooner or later be
called upon to do anyhow. There
must be maintained constant
watchfulness in the feet against
attack by torpedo boats, and the
way the crews are kept on edge
must be weakening. So it would
not be surprising if they took ad-
vantage of the first excuse to clear
ships for action and go for the
enemy. 1t is a desperate and
soul-trying situation for brave and
eager men, and while we may not
fully accept all we hear from the
Caribbean, we may yet not be
surprised if there is action down
there of an important kind almost
any hour, that Santiago has fallen
and that Cervera is crushed along
with the bottle.

Amusing Incident In the Admiral's Life
- Told By His Boarding Mistress.
1t is not generally known that Ad-
miral Cervera, the commander Of the
mysterious Spanish feet which is now
causing the navy department 30 much
concern, was formerly naval attache
in Washington.
He represented the government Of
Spain in Washington about 10 years
ago. He resided In boarding house on
Thirteenth street, and the landlady OF
this establishment now has good pic
ture taken of the lieutenant when sta
toned here. Lieutenant Cervera was
universally liked and y, as close stu
dent of naval mattera He was recogniz-
ed then as an unusually capable fellow.
The woman with whom he boarded told
me an amusing incident of Cervera.
The latter had white monkey which
he kept as a pet. A young woman who
boarded at the house took q great liking
to the animal and asked the lieutenant
II he would part with it. Cervera re-
piled In laughing manner:
II will give you the monkey il you
will kiss me tomorrow in the breakfast
room before all the boarders."
He thought nothing further of the
matter, but the young woman was not
easily put off. When Lieutenant Ger
vera appeared at breakfast the follow
ing morning, he was astounded by hav-
ing pair Of arms thrown around his
neck and receiving hearty kiss on his
cheek. The young woman had taken
him at his word and carried ont her
part Of the compact, and Lieutenant
Cervera promptly turned over to her the
pet white monkey. Washington Tele-

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA Talk wrrH MRS. prsKHAn.J

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She Is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical. IS
The condition of the mind known rs
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
IL is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that nero
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs Pinlham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and Is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs +. S. BENNETT,
westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, i wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than /
have had for the past ten years. 1

ing women, do not tsuffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
