The Heavy Handicap Admiral sampson
Carried Ia san Juan.

/ may be permitted to say. on the au-
thority of men who know, that the
squadron which Admiral Sampson had
TO take when going in chase of the
Spanish was not only most remarkable:
II was. from at least one point of view.
simply absurd. One need not be a
trained naval man to understand this.
For consider the Spanish squadron.
Admiral Cervera had -four modern
ships, every one of which was rated at
a speed OF 20 knots. not to mention the
swift torpedo boat destroyers, like the
Furor. His was a 20-knot squadron,
we'll armored and well armed. To catch
this 2O-knot squadron Admiral Samp-
son had the 20-knot New York. the IL
knot Iowa, the l5.5-knot Indiana, the
10.5-knot Terror and Amphitrite. a
squadron that at best was fit to make
for brief intervals a speed of 10 knots
and for a fun days passage no more
than eight. This is not to criticise the
admiral, he lad to take what was given
him.
Placing the 10.5-knot Amphitrite in
tow Of the 17-knot Iowa, Admiral
Sampson. at 10 O'Clock on the night Of
May 4, started in chase OF the 20-knot
Spaniards. The next morning he had
to take the Terror in tow of the New
York. and thereafter we all moped at
an average rpeed of under sever knots
away through the long narrow channel
that lies between the Bahama group
on the north and the chain that is
formed by Cuba, Hayti and Porto Rico
on the south.-From THE Chase of
Cervera." by John II. Spears. in the

Hunger Madness.

The sufferings of pellagra are those
well known In times of famine. The
effects sometimes do not entirely dis
appear. a woman of my acquaintance
near Monza. h had had the pellagra
some years before, was considered
cured. She was the wife of a prosper
Gus shop keeper when I knew her. The
only remaining trace of her malady
was that from tim to time she stopped
in conversation, a look of anguish came
into her eyes, n she would say in
her dialect: I'll pan lie bon. e II win lie
bon ma IL lie bon Bread Is good.
and wine is good. but bread is good"
The horror OF that suffering from
starvation had never left her.
The worst Is that no serious measures
Of relief are being taken. The govern
ment. while squandering millions for
the prestige of the monarchy. gives
nothing but a small sum, amounting,
when divided among those suffering
with the hunger madness. to % cents
each per year. That could not be called
a serious measure of relief. The rem
eral poverty is so great that Is seems
hopeless n useless for private citi-
gems to attempt to relieve IL by chari-
ties. Besides. everybody knows that IL
is not a question of charities, but a po-
litical question.-From Hunger and
Poverty in Italy" by Mrs. Dario Papa,
in North American Review for July.

country in the state legislatures to
make II a crime to wear the uniform

IT WAS GET AWAY DAY
Star Pointer Gave a Remarkable
Performance.
LOWERED TRACK RECORD
Five Thousand People Saw the Stallion
Pull 1t Down From 2o1 l-2 to
1:5o Ia Crowd Wild
With Enthusiasm.

Columbus. Ohio. Aug. 6.-This was
get away day at the Columbus park.
Only four of the five vents were fin
ished on account of several of the races
being badly split. Fully 5000 people
were in attendance, attracted by the
announcement that Star Pointer would
attempt to lower the track record of
2:o114. made last yea by Joe Patchen
in his race with Pointer. The track
was not as fast as it ordinarily is under
favorable conditions. and teams were
working ii between heats all day.
1t was after 4 o'clock when Pointer
was brought out for the test. The
breeze which had blown up the stretch
at a merry clip for several hours had
died down and the pennant from the
stand chung to the pole. For the time
Pointer was brought dow to the wire
he did not have his stride and went
almost to the half before he was turned
back. 1t was about 4:20 when Geers
brought him down the second time.
The stallion was as steady as a machine
and Geers nodded for the word. George
Spear drove the pacemaker. a runner,
hitched to a sulky. and the start was
a beautiful one. The crowd was on its
feet before Pointer was under the wire,
and there was a painful silence until
h stallion reached the quarter, when
1t was the time was :29Ih.
This brought forth a shout of exulta-
ton. for il was certain Pointer was
giving a remarkable performance.
There was another shout when Pointer
reached the half in :5S1A, and still an
other when Pointer reached the three
quarter pole in 1:2S%, for IL was then
certain that the mile would be under
two minutes.
AS Pointer came into the stretch his
feet plowed up the dust as the bow of
a tug plows up smooth water. There
was a smile on McCleary's face, and
when the runner moved up at the fin
ish Pointer pushed his nose ahead and
kept 1t there until he passed under the
wire. A mighty cheer went up from
the crowd the instant the 1891 was
announced.
The 2:05 pace was easily won by Che
halls, although Bumps and Pearl On
ward both sold for more money in the
pools. The second heat, 2:04h, is the
fastest heat paced in a race this sea-
son.

THE DuNKERS AT MEETING.
Beautiful and Impressive Service of a
Profoundly Pious People.

Profoundly Pious People.
"At the farther end of the meeting
house sit the ministers, four or five in
number. at a long. bare table, facing
the congregation, while an equal number
of deacons are seated on the opposite
side, with their backs to the ROOM"
writes Clifford Howard of the Dunkers
of Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pennsyl-
vania, in the July Ladies Home Journal.
There is no liturgy, no ritual. no for
NAL mode of conducting service. h
worship of these men and women is in
perfect accord with their humble lives
and their beautiful, childlike faith;
wholly without affectation or Formally.
So soon as 10 or 20 persons have arrived
one of the ministers starts the singing
of a hymn, which is taken up by the
little congregation, and, without instru-
mental accompaniment of any kind, is
sung to its close, the gentle voices of
the women blending sweetly and effec-
lively with the deep, rugged tones of
the men; and while there may some
times be a lack of correct technical exc.
cution. there is in this artless singing
a certain indescribable spirit-a tender
and touching soulfulness-that carries
IL beyond the pale of material criticism.
In this a considerable number
or hymns are sung at short intervals
as the congregation is assembling; and
then, after a fervent prayer, during
which every one reverently kneels, each
of the ministers in turn delivers a short
discourse or exhortation, based upon a
text selected at random from the Bible
There is no discussion of theological
subtleties nor OF church doctrines"

From Senator McLaurin's Fourth of July

Senator Bate OF ennes told me an
anecdote OF Colonel Tom Sumter that I
have never seen In print. Sumter was
a great big giant of a fellow. with a voice
like a foghorn. II is said his "holler''
could be heard for miles. On one occa-
sion when he was OF on a foray the tories
came and captured his wife. Molly. and
stripped the plantation OF everything.
When "Old Tom came home and found
Molly gone. his rage knew no bounds.
Gathering together such forces as he
could he put after the tories. He overlook
them on the third day and hung about
until midnight. Then he deployed his
forces around the camp and told them to
await his orders TO fire. He was afraid
of Molly being shot in the melee. so
when he got everything ready he opened
his big mouth and let out a yell that
fairly made the earth tremble: Lay
down. Molly Lay down. Molly and
Molly. recognizing those stentorian tones.
fell prone on her face. and after the last
Lay down. Molly" came the
to fire and charge. Molly was recaptured
without hurt.

We Apologize.

Our last issue reported Il surprise party on the steamer Casca, given in honor of Capt Gray. A list of names purporting to be those attending was given us by the person who gave the invitations, but the names of Miss Dena Nelson and Miss Kellner were in advertantly omitted, which we of course very much regret. The Misses Nelson and Kellner are bright, hand some young ladies, esteemed by all who know them, and a social gathering in the city is certain to include them among the invited.
