ACTED ON DEWEY'S ADVICE.
President Mckinley Orders Three
warshIps TO be Sent TO Reinforce the
Squadron In Philippine Waters.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The president
has directed the immediate dispatch
to the Philippines of u number of
vessels of the navy, including the cr,li-
ser Brooklyn and the gunbCats Mari
eta and MarchaS. The action is the
result Of Admiral Dewey's interview
yesterday in which he went over the
Philippine situation with the presi
dent.
The orders given are in line with
the determination of the president to
furnish the army and navy every re-
source for stamping out the Philip
pine lnSurrectiOn at the earliest pos
sible time. At Admiral Deweys in
terview with the president the former
went into the Philippine situation ut
great length, explaining carefully the
existing condition of affairs and his
views of the outlook, concluding with
an earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels he
sent at once to the Philippines. This
reinforcement of the Asiatic squadron
he urged as necessary and said the
ships should be sent as soon as pos
sible. The president Immediately
communicated with the navy depart
ment and instructed the secretary of
the navy to issue an order carrying
out the admirafs recommendation
and to see that they be got in readi-
ness at once. The Marietta and Ma
chias, besides the Brooklyn. will be
designated by the navy department,
along with several other vessels which
have not yet been selected
The BROOKLYN is now with the other
vessels of the North Atlantic squad
ron off Tompkinsville. Staten islnd.
The Machias and the Marietta are ut
present lying at the wharves in this
city on waiting orders, having been
brought here to participate in this
weeks celebration in honor of Adj
miral Dewey. These reinforcements
Will add considerable strength to the
Asiatic squadron and the administra-
ton believes their presence will have
material effect in expediting the end
of hositilities.
The brooklyn is an armored cruiser
of the first rating, carrying 90 main
battery guns and is so well thought
of by Rear Admiral Schley that he de-
sired that she be assigned as his flag
ship in the new South Atlantic squad
ron.
The Marietta is a composite boat
with main battery equipment of six
guns. The Machias carries battery
of eight guns. The Hroolllyn is com
manded by Capt. Theodore 7. Jewell.

Mitchell Says No.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Comptroller
Mitchell has rendered Il decision in the
case of the proposed naval store Mt
Cavite, a case which has been watched
with interest as affecting all naval Of
ficers. especially those on foreign sta
tions. The comptroller holds that
there is no warrant for establishing
at Cayite naval store similar to the
stores maintained in the army, where
officers and men may purchase at cost
articles of food not included in the
regular ration list. The articles for
sale in the army stores include pre-
serves, lime juice, cigars and tobacco.

Last March the first messages between
England and France were flashed
across the English channel, the distance
covered being estimated at from 2S to

the use of vertical wires at the trans
mitting and receiving stations, the
height of the wires varying according
to the distance to be covered, also de-
pending to some extent on the induc-
ton coil of the telegraphic apparatus
For the channel service Il wire $50 feet
high is used, while with the others men
toned above 50 to 80 feet has been found

not entirely cured, although, to his
great joy, he is now able to dance Jig
The theory is that the hot air draws
the poison from the system. One case
of chronic lumbago and sciatica of
16 years standing, which had been
treated by noted physicians in Italy,
Germany, and at different springs in
America, was kept in the machine for
two hours. The patient was then told

for him to make the necessary move

work himself out without much pain,

was beyond description. After five or

| If it can be made certain that the
machines can be always depended upon
to exhaust the moisture from the hot
air and can always be in charge of
skilled attendants, they bid fair to rank
among the important discoveries of the
century.
The destruction to crops from hail
stones is such a cause of dread in farm
ing districts, especially in those coun-
tries where the vineyards furnish the
chief means of subsistence to the peo-
| pie, that for many years efforts have
| b<en made to discover some me hod of
preventing their falling. Chief among
! these has been the use of the mortar.
n special form is now used, set in
wooden base and having a sheet-iron
cone 6R feet high fixed to its mouth.
The mortar is charged with powder,
! well tamped down, the cone placed and
| the piece fired. Owing to the vibra-
tions of the cone, considerable dis
| turbance is produced in the air. If this
kind of mortar is flied near forming
hailstorm, the stones cannot form. and
heavy shower of rain falls. MANY
Italian provinces are adopting this
method of protection. In Styria and
Carniola. where these mortars were
first used, the vineyards thus defended
have remained uninjured for three
years. One mortar protects a space
of from 1900 TO $500 feet in diane ter,
Hence, they should be placed from
two-thirds to one mile apart. These

which is always ready to do homage to
real merit.
During the last few years a great
many kinds of hot-air treatments Tor
rheumatism have been invented, tried
and discarded, but at last one has been
found which, while there seems to be
great chance of killing the patient,
may, if he escapes alive, be expected to
cure him. Numbers of successful eX-
periments have been made, notably
some of recent date in the Cook county
hospital, of Chicago. About year ago
Warden Graham and DR.. Thoren, of
that institution, were in New York,
and there saw a hot-air machine in
vented by Mr.. a. V. NJ. Sprague, of
that city, whose wife was a sufferer
from rheumatism. 1t had been found
to work satisfactorily, and Mr.. Sprague
offered to present his visitors with 4
similar machine. BY means of this APP
paratus a person may be exposed to a
temperature of 400 degrees, or nearly
, twice as hot as boiling water, without
serious inconvenience, because the hot
air is rendered entirely free from
moisture. Four hum ID degrees of
heat will melt several kinds of metals.
If one drop of moisture were to gain
entrance and be diffused over the body
of an occupant, the whole skin would
be scalded and the patient would die.
Perspiration is burned up before it
can spread over the body.
The Sprague machine is a double
cylinder, the inside of copper the out
side of steel. An asbestos blanket is
between the two. Through the inner
lining, which is pierced with holes, the
heat penetrates like shower bath.
Tiny jets strike the body simultane-
ously, but with far different results
than from an unbroken blast. An ar

RICHARDSON
RESIGNS.
Will Give His Whole Time to
His Race.
His Action Was Not a Surprise to
His Friends.

The Hon. Gus W. Richardson, of
Meade county, Deputy Clerk Of the
Court of Appeals, and candidate for the
Democratic nomination for State Treas
urer, has resigned his Office in order to
be able to more thoroughly canvass the
state in the interest OF his candidacy.
The resignation was handed to Clerk
Shackelford and Immediately accepted,
Samuel d. Hines, OF Bowling Green, be-
ing named to succeed him.
The retirement of Mr.. Richardson
was not a surprise, as he has felt for a
week or two past that his candidacy for
the State Treasurship was being injured
by the fact that be was holding an office
to which he had to devote almost his
entire time. The fact that he held a
State office, though a minor one, was be.
ing used to advantage by his opponents
in the race, and this was another reason
for the resignation. The office of Depu-
clerk of the county, which is not an ex-
cesslVelY lucrative one, was gwen TO Mr..
Richardson by Clerk Shackelford last
September, when the latter came into
office. OF his opponents for Treasurer
two hold public offices, one being a
County Judge and another a Circuit
Clerk.
The letter of resignation is in full as
follows:
"Sam Shackeford, Clerk of Court OF
Appeals, Frankfort, Ky.-Dear Sir: AS
candidate for nomination of State
Treasurer, l have received such encour-
agement from my friends that it ssems
to my best interest that devote my en-
tire time to the canvass for this Office,
and that l may do 30, hereby tender to
you my resignation an Deputy Clerk of
the court to take effect to-day, and
Iecomm nd that you appoint Samuel
d. Hines IN my stead, Yours truly,
GUS w RICHARDSON"

The Detectives are Hard at Work on
the Case.

The Hancock county grand jury last
week returned an indictment against
Abe Rosenblatt, formerly of Patesville,
for arson. The accused is the son of a
former merchant Of that place.
1t will be remembered that fire oc.
cured last spring at Patesville, which de.
stroyed several stores and cottages. The

ton of the perpretrator of the deed
Detectives worked on the case and il
is alleged that the indictment of young
Abe Rosenblatt was the result.
1t is alleged that the stock of goods
in the store was rather low and the in.

HOLDING TOBACCO.
Half A rllIIion Pounds Remain UnsOId
in the County.

While partially all the Pryor tobac-
CO in Hancock county has been sold
there remains about 500 900 pounds Of
the weed in the barns of the farmers in
Breckenridge county.
The stripping season in this vicinity
will close about May 1st and the dealers
are anxious to get what tobacco they can
before the work OF stripping ceases.
Local tobacco men say that Brecken.
ridge planters are holding the weed for
higher prices, but as this crop has been
very large and the prospects for big
crop next year are bright they predict
that the holders will be disappointed
and say that they would do better if
they would sell now.
