Spanish torpedo-poat destroyers are
not now alarming. This was shown at
the Santiago fight, when the Gloucester,
an American gunboat, formerly yacht,
completely wrecked the two Spanish
torpedo-boat destroyers, Furor and Plu.
ton, when attempting to follow Cerve-
ra's cruisers in their dash to escape. 1t
was commanded by Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright, who was second in
command of the Maine when she was
blown up in the harbor of Havana, and
was the last to leave the wreck after re-
covering the mangled bodies Of Ameri.
can sailors. The Gloucester was in the
thick Of the fight.

LONDON, July IA special dispatch
from Madrid says:
"All the talk of peace seems up te the
present to have led to no tangible re-
suits. No doubt the government would
welcome an opportunity to negotiate
directly with the United States.
"The fall of Santiago will convince
the most sanguine of the hopelessness Of
of the struggle, and will give the gov
ernment the desired opportunity at
least to suggest an armistice for the de-
cision Of terms.

The scheme everywhere is to shift the
war taxes from the corporations to the
people. A little matter Of one cent is
the war tax on each shipment by. ex-
press, but the five principal express
companies of the country have figured
out the consequences. and find If they
should pay for the stamps on all their
shipments it would require an expendi.
ture equal to per cent on their com.
bined capital. Their dividends, in a
word, would bg cut down about one
half. They have concluded that they
cannot possibly assume such burden
But the merchants association of New
York has declared that the shippers
cannot stand the cost of the tax, and 1t
has entered vigorous protest against
the declared purpose of the express
companies to pass the tax along to their
patrons. The chances are decidedly
against the patrons of the companies.
In the end the taxes will difuse them
selves among the general customers and
consumers. An income tax could not
be shifted in this way.

comparison OF Vnese ugures SHOWS
that the highest pay in the naval service
is less than the regular pay to officers of
corresponding rank in the military SER
vice.
The article in the A. and N. Journal
without rejecting on the army at all,
shows that, in this war thus far, almost
everything that has been actually ac-
complished has been done by the navy.
1t thinks such good service should be
recognized by congress by having the
pay of naval officers made equal to that
of the army officers. This demand will
strike the pubic as just. The American
navy has always given good account
of itself. Its recent achievements should
bring substantial reward in the form of
increased salaries, so that the pay OF
naval officers shall equal that Of officers
in the military service.

Chairman Carleton of the inland fish

word of the slaughter of deer which on
account of the deep SHOWS are easily

scot county gives the information that
ten deer were killed by poachers in one
day near. that place. A circular letter has
been sent by the commissioners to the
fourteen hundred registered guides in che
state. asking them to do all in their
power to protect the game, which is
now entirely at the mercyaof the poachers.
There has been considerable fault found
with the commissioners for their appar-

KISSES WITH THE TICKET.
How Pretty Lottery Agent Doomed Her
Trade.

Exchange street had a visitation from
q lottery agent on Tuesday afternoon.
She was young-about eighteen years of
age, of good figure and an abundance of
blonde hair-real blonde hair, too. She
wore large black hat and a fur cap and
was altogether very fascinating young
woman, and as a result the tickets that
she had disappeared like snow before an
April sun.
The tickets were for chances upon q
gold watch, which she displayed and they
sold at prices ranging from one cent to
one dollar, the buyer picking an envelope
and paying sum corresponding with the
number of the ticket. 4
Most Of the places visited by the young
woman were saloons, and her method of
selling was decidedly unique. She would
walk in and explain her business and ask
who wished to purchase. Generally all
would refuse, but aEpair of nice plump
arms about the neck, and sometimes a
kiss, would generally. change sthe verdict
and the young woman made sales rapidly.
None Of the buyers expect to get the
watch, yet all feel satisfied. - bangor

Generally ill-health in woman is due to
disorders or arrangements of the delicate
and important feminine organs which are
the cradle of the race. No woman who suf-
fers in this way can retain her good looks
or her attractiveness. The daily burden of
torturing, dragging pains that she carries,
will soon make her a physical wreck, and
eventually either kill her or drive her to
insanity. Any woman may restore and re-
tain her health and strength in a womanly
way by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite

A MASCOT IN REALITY.
Prices of Land Boom Wherever Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland Resides.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat. }

Grover Cleveland is mascot for real
large sums for landholders in three wide
ly separated parts Of the country. When
he was married ten years ago, during
his first term, MT. Cleveland bought for
S21, 500 place of twenty eight acres in
the suburbs of Washington. Until that
purchase the sightliness of the locality
had not been recognized. The land was
in small farms and there were few Wash
ington people who had homes along the
questionable pike. The President made
soma alterations in the comfortable old
stone house and lived there in the sum-
mertime. When he went out of office,
after two or three seasons occupancy of
cred Top" as the place was called,
from the brightly painted roof, he sold
his twenty eight acres for $l35, 0O0. But
previously thousands of acres surround
ings, had changed hands. Cleveland
road had been built and all OF the access
series of real eStatespeculation on grand
scale had been appl ed
Mr. CleveIaud's next venture was in q
desolate tract of land on BuZZard's Bay.
He went there on the recommendation of
Joseph Jefferson, found good fishing and
bought literally of the rocky and ssandy
acres. The history of Red Top repeated
itself, save that Mr.. Cleveland did not
sell when the boom came. Buzzard's Bay
has come into prominence rs one of the
choicest localities on the Atlantic coast
for summer homes. The land has gone
up and up, until the advances parallel
those of the first neighborhood to which
Mr.. Cleveland lent his name. And now
the news is that Princeton acres, and es
pecially that part in which the ex-Presi-
dent has invested, are soaring in values
