NEVER MATCHED IN HISTORY.

From the Brooklyn Times.
 The victory of Admiral Dewey was never matched in history. He destroyed eleven ships and silenced many batteries, and he never lost man in the engagement. It was thought that the Japanese had an easy time defeating the drum-beating, tom-tom- playing Chinese, but no such achievement this can be placed to the glory of their ships.

The Philippine Islands have become prac- tically the possession of the United States by conquest. Admiral Deweys great tri- umph in Manila Bay stands as one of the great naval battles in history. It has never been equalled. He fought the battle against the Spaniards, completely annihi- lating the enemys fleet and proudly march, ed into possession of the city. The Ameri- can navy by its superiority carried out the instructions given 1t from Washington. From commercial point of view the Philippine Islands are very valuable. The possession of the islands is not necessity to the United States, but 1t will be of great benefit. It may for time require a stand ing army there to establish a stable form of government. Suppose 1t does. The United States can afford to have standing armies if it can extend it's possessions.
 The same may be said of Porto Rico and Cuba in the event those islands fall into possession of the American forces. It is not the nature of the Anglo-Saxon race to give up what it once possesses, although it is perhaps the best disposed to treat fairly of all the races. The value that Cuba would be to the United States is incalcula- ble. The island of Cuba is the richest ter

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Love with women is like poker with
a mamie does most of his winning
while he is learning it.
Women know more about love than
they do about loving; men know more
about loving than they do about love.
Married men are rare whose pride is
so strong that they can't bear to think
they might have been refused when
they proposed.
Every other woman you meet has
either missionary scheme that she IS
interested in or else a kitten that she
wants you to take care of
There is no surer way for man to
make a girl think she has got to have
another man than for him to make her
think he thinks he has got to have her.

Prohibition of the liquor traffic has
been carried in Canada by a majority
of q 900, but as the entire vote cast on
the question is less than 80 per cent.
of the voting population the result can
not be taken as expressing the senti-
ment of the whole people. In Canada,
as too often in the United States, it is
evident that there is too little interest
taken in the exercise of the right of
franchise when great public questions
are at stake. In this case the advo-
Gates of a better state of affairs APP
peared in sufficient numbers to make
their cause a safe winner at the polls,
but as far as the stay-at-homes were
concerned the results might have been
very different. At it is, it is said, the
Canadian Parliament may not take
action, on the ground that the vote
cast does not prove that the sentiment
of the majority of the people favors
prohibition.

1t will he easy enough to put a ludi-
crouss construction upon the report
which attributes theChinese Emperor's
downfall ito the fact that he recently
appeared in European clothes. But
the circumstance is really typical OF
the whole attitude of China. The Ce-
lestial empire is, above all things, con-
sentative. IT opposes to progress a re-
sistanca which is not the less powerful
because it is passive. Chinese civili-
cation. if we may believe Chinese his

it was 5000 years ago. It has neither

stood still. and he who attempts 70

sentiment, tradition and belief UNI
changed through centuries and CEN
turtles and now entertained by the haln-
dreds OF millions who make up the nom
Mation of the Chinese empire. The
past dominates China, and, though

well be true. President MCKINLEY

1t is said that additional naval pro-
motions as rewards for services per-
formed during the war will not be
made, and it is also reported that, with
the exception of Rear Admiral Dewey,
these who were promoted will be re-
stored to their old rank. Apart from
the case of Rear Admiral Schley and
those whose promotions We're not at
the expense of other worthy officers
the carrying out of these reported
propositions will likely be generally re-
garded as simple Justice During the
war the advancement of many officers
by the number system wrought in
justice to others probably just as
worthy of promotion, but who We're
not given the chance to distinguish
themselves. The completeness of the
injustice is well illustrated in the re-
ported exclamation of an officer, who
was in the thick of the battle of July
Sd and bore himself gallantly: Il am
indeed, lucky! 1 have only lost one
number!"

and diseases OF their ucN- N

Nothing less than unbeaIaole torment
would induce sensitive minded women to
submit to the intolerable methods OF the
average doctor in dealing with diseases OF
this nature.
That there is "a better way than these
detestable examinations and local APP
plications I" is truth which some women
have vet to learn. although thousands are
already rejoicing in the knowledge. They
have found in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription the one unfailing remedy which
heals feminine weaknesses at their very
source. This marvellous Prescription !"
restores absolute health to the internal
organism. stops weakening drains and ul-
cerated conditions, gives elastic strength
to the supporting ligaments, vitality to the
nerve centers, and complete womanly vigor
to the entire constitution.
It is the perfect fortifer and regulator Of
women at every critical period in their
deyelopment; from the time when they
merge into womanhood until the change
of life" 1t is the one medicine which
makes motherhood safe and almost free
from pain.
A lady living at Park Avenue Chicago, Ills,
Mrs. Emily Howe writes: I, myself, suffered
a long time from female weakness and seemed
to be going into a decline. Took several bottles
of your Favorite Prescription and 1t saved me

A Warning to Kickers.

A sad-eyed mule stood in the rain,
Tired was he and sick;
But against all proffered sympathy
He stubbornly did kick.
A cat came up to share his woes,
With new and gentle pur;
But she. alas! was soon transformed
Into fiddle strings and fur.
A yellow dog next offered to
His trials and troubles share;
And a moment later sausage meat
Was flying through the air.
Then little John, the farmers son,
Attempted. to his sorrow,
To drive him under shelter, but
His funeral is tomorrow.
A binding flash, an awful roar
He hadn't time to duck it:
No friendly lightning-rod was nigh
The mule he kicked the bucket.
