Washington, Oct. 5.-The navy de-

arranging to reinforce the fleet in the
Philippines as suggested, yesterday, by
Admiral Dewey. 1t was found that the
plan conceived, last evening, of send
ing the Marietta and the Machias with
the brooklyn would have to be modified
so as to drop the two gunboats. BY
noon the department had completed its
programme and was in position to send
sailing orders to the ships chos n to go
to Manila.
The New Orleans was tclegraphed to
proceed at once to the New York navy
yard to have some changes made in tn
galley apparatus. The changes can be
made in six days. when the ship will
start on her voyage. The Brooklyn will
be- turned back from Hampton Roads
as soon as she comes within signalling
distance and sent to New York. A
cablegram was sent to the Nashville
at san Domingo to proceed at once to
Manila via Suez and she is expected to
get off within "A hours.
orders Were also telegraphed to the
Badger al Mare Island to proceed to
the Philippines as soon as possible. No

DROWNING ACCIDENT
Frank McCarviIIe Loses His
Life at Watervi|Ie.
Mrs. Joha Clifford Killed by Maine
Central Train at Bath.
More Lumber Than Ever Will Be Cut This
Year. Around Moosehea

Waterville. Me, oct. 5.-(SpeciaD.-
Frank McCarvilc. aged 80. was drown
ed in the Kennebec river back of the
Hollingsworth x Whitney cos plant
His body was recovered late in the
afternoon.
McCarville is a mason by trade and
has been employed in one of Horace
Purintons crews that have been put
ting in new brick work at the additions
He had finished his work for Mr. Pur-
intOn and during the morning was
planning to take the train and leave
town.
He had been on the Waterville side
Of the river and at II o'clock started
with a companion to cross to the Wins
low side. They started from the bank
back Of the college with Richard Woods
at the oars. McCarVille stood up all
the way going over and when within
10 or l. feet from the WinsloW shore
stepped on the gunWale. The boat was
instantly overturned and the two went
overheard.
The companion was able to swim and
saved himself by striking out for the
shore. McCarville sank and up to the
afternoon his body had not been re
covered. The whole thing was done in
an instant and as the wind took the
boat up river it was not possible to tell
just where the accident occurred.
No attempt was made to find the
body until after the noon hour had
passed except that few men took pike
poles and sounded to see if the body
could easily be found. The river is
very still at this point. it being below
the upper Hollingsworth dam and the
place where the water rushes out from
under the wheels. 50 that the body did
not drift long distance.
The remains We're recovered during
the afternoon and taken to Coroner
SHELLS undertaking rooms. where they
will remain for the present that the
relatives, if there are any. may be
given chance to claim them He was
unmarried and had only been in the
city for a short time having come here
from the Provinces where he formerly
worked From the Workmen it was
learned that the man has an uncle liv-
ing in Berlin. \. H.. and he was noti-
fed of the death. Up to a late hour.
this evening no word had been receiv-
ed relative to the disposition of the
remains.
The young man was dressed in dark
suit and was about ) feet, 10 inches
tall. In life he was probably of rather
dark complexion. one of the most dis
tinguishng features was the fact that
he had a broad high forehead and
rather Il sharp nose. Ills face was en-
tirely without beard. Although a
mason by trade he had worked more or
less at The trade Of boiler maker.

INSANE MAJOR.
Change OF Food Cured Him.

What determined and intelligent
Wife can accomplish, is well shown in
the experience of n certain retired Ma
jor of the civil War, and his estimable
wife. For obvious reasons the name
and exact address of the Major is with
held. but the facts are given by his
cousin, Il Well-known lady of Marion,
TO-
Without apparent cause, but coming
on gradually, the Major lost his mind,
and some Of the most eminent special
lists in brain and nervous diseases
stated that he would never recover,
strongly recommending the wife to
place him in an asylum, although con-
iident he would live only a few months.
Being woman of much strength of
character, she refused TO incarcerate
him. but on the contrary, took him to
cottage along the shores of a little lake
for the summer.and devoted herself en-
tirely to the case, studied him care
fully. and especially applied herself to
the preparation of food and drink
gradually eliminating what was harm
full and substituting nutritious and
properly selected articles, with the
startling result that in about six
months he was an absolutely sane
man. and in year was healthier than
he had ever been in his life.
She reciteS that the chief agency in
his return to health was Postum Ce-
real Food Coffee. for from the moment
she began using that article in place of
coffee he improved in a marked de-
gree. At one time, she left off Postum
and allowed him to use ordinary coffee.
and he had quick and serious backset.
Returning TO Postum he improved
now they use nothing else and are most
enthusiastic in their faith in it's health
giving qualities. and naturally make
many converts among their friends.
The reater adds: "At first we
thought Postum was fiat and tasteless.
| but after following the directions ex-
actly and boiling it twenty minutes. we
secured richness equal to the best
Mocha and Java, and enjoy it greatly.
/ have lost that heavy. depressed feel
ing, that obtained formerly. and my
children are growing fat on Postum. .
The lady requests that her name be
omitted from publication. The name.
however. will be given by letter upon
application to the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, at Battle Creek, Mich.
