Money Order Service on the Mainland

Money Order Service on the Mainland
Improved.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The fol-
lowing suggestion for general adoption
at the postoffices in all large cities was
given out at the Postoffice Department
today:
1T is now the practice at the large
post offices to close the money order
business about 5 o'clock in the even
ing. The Department realizes that
many persons, particularly those whose
time is fully occupied during the day,
are thus prevented from obtaining
money orders, and it has sought for
some time past to remedy this incon-
venience. A plan recently adopted at
st. Louis has proved so successful that
it will be generally introduced by AS
sistant Postmaster General Heath, who
has suggested that inasmuch as clerk
is on duty at the stamp window Of the
larger post offices during a part of
every night, he may issue money ord
ers when applications are made there
for. AT present no arrangement is pro-
vided for the payment of orders, but if
the measure meets with the approval of
the public, doubtless a complete system
of issue and payment will be provided
for in the near future"

IN THREE WAYS
The British Army Tests in
the Use of Liquor.
WhiSkey-Malt Orink-The Alb
StainerS-The Temperance
Men Proved the
Best of All.

The British army's late guide for
rations, issued during operations in the
field, recommended rum and lime juice
at the discretion of commanders and
upon recommendation of medical Of
ficers The British ration table OF
equivalents also prescribes that pint
of porter is equal to a half gill OF
spirits. But since these were issued
the British army has gathered the first
experimental evidence bearing upon
this military temperance question.
Three regiments were selected from
each of several brigades for tests at
different times, partly during maneuv-
ers. In one every man was forbidden
to drink drop while the test lasted;
in the second malt liquor only could be
purchased; in the third a sailors ra-
ton of whiskey was given to each man.
The experiment was repeated in sew
eral instances where forced marches
and other hard work was required. The
whisky drinkers showed more dash at
first, but generally in about four days
showed signs of lassitude and abnormal
fatigue. Those given malt liquor at
first displayed less dash at first, but
their endurance lasted somewhat long
err The abstainers, however, are said
to have increased daily in alertness
and staying powers. AS a result OF
this experiment the British war de-
partment decided that in the recent
SOudan campaign not a single drop OF
stimulant should be allowed in camp,
save for hospital use. The officers, in
Guiding even the generals, could no
longer enjoy their accustomed spirits,
wines and malt liquors at their mess
tables. There must have been some
wry faces, especially among the Scotch
laddies, when the order was published
that for all hands, including even camp
followers, liquid refreshment was to
be limited to tea, oatmeal water or
lime juice and Nile water. Today it is
great feather in the headgear of the
advocates of military total abstainers
that Lord Kitchener's recent victory
was won for him by an army of tee
totalers, who made phenomenal forced
marches through the desert, under a
burning sun and in a climate famed for
it's power to kill or prematurely age the
unacclimated. Indeed, it's said that
never has there been British cam
profiting by so much endurance.

RESORT IN JAPAN.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Secre-
tary of War has received a recommend
alton from Surgeon General Sternberg
for the establishment of an army sani-
tarium at Nagasaki, Japan, for the use
of the United States troops at Manila.
The recommendation has not yet been
approved, but it is looked upon with
much favor, owing to the STABILITY
OF having such a sanitarium we'll away
from the Philippines and from any pos
sible epidemic that may arise there
II would require the consent Of the
Japanese Government, but little doubt
exists that this will be given. The eli
mate in this Japanese locality is very
salubrious and bracing. and is in every
way better than that about Manila,
particularly for the sick and conva-
lescing

BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

Manager Martin, OF the Pierson drug
store, informs us that he is having a
great run on Chamberlain'S Cough
Remedy. He sells five bottles OF that
medicine to one Of any other kind, and
it gives great satisfaction. In these
days of Ia grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to stop
the cough, heal up the sore throat and

WHAT CUBA'S LOSS MEANS TIC
SPAIN.

The loss OF Cuba means to Spain the
loss OF the very sustenance of the ma
ton. Already her tax-ridden people
are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss of your once vigorous appe-
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. If any reader Of this pa
per wishes to be as hungry again as

hearty meals, drink Seattle beer. It

81 SMITH SHOT IN HIS CELL.
jail Entered by Mob That RiddIed
the Man With shot.

Gainesville, Ga. July ia mob of about
thirty men surrounded the Hall county
jail early this morning, and by a clever
ruse tricked the sheriff into admitting
them into the Jail, after which five of
them went to the cell of 81 Smith, the
murderer of Judge w. B. Bell of Atlanta
and shot him to DEATH riddling his body
with bullets and spattering his blood on
the cell walls.
The mob pretended to be a sheriffs
posse from Gwinnett county with a pris-
oner whom they wanted to lodge in the
Hall county Jail for safe-keeping. The
leader of the mob said he was the sheriff
of Gwinnett and the unsuspectng sheriff
of Hall county, w. B. Munday, admitted
the men.
After its bloody work the mob quickly
dispersed. The Governor will be asked
to offer a reward for the capture of the
men composing the mob. There is great
Indignation among the people here that
such a crime was committed.
Smith was asleep when the mob entered
Without warning or arousing him, one of
the mob deliberately levelled and emptied
his pistol at the sleeping form, one of
the first bullets piercing the heart of
the. victim. The other men opened fire,
and when they ceased the victims body
had been riddled with bullets.
The sheriff said the leader of the mob
was about so years old and the others
were all young men, all well dressed,
one of whom was feshy and clean-shaven.
The coroner of Hall county summoned
a jury this morning and held an inquest
but no verdict was reached
81 Smith was recently captured in Hab-
ersham county, and was brought here and
lodged in jail for safe keeping He was
held for the murder of w. B. Bell, who
formerly travelled for an Atlanta drug
house.

ceived the following reply:
Magnolia, Mass, July 15.-To the Ed
ttors of the Baltimore Herald, Baltimore
Md. Dear Sir: In reply TO your telegram
l have to say that too constant applca-
tion TO duties resulted in quite a severe
spell Of sickness. My physician assures
me that complete rest and more north
ern climate is all that is necessary to
complete recovery.
Il have no definite plan other than alb
staining from all work, both political and
private, for the time being.
My refusal TO be interviewed has re-
suited in our ingenious friends of the
press drawing all sorts of fancy pictures
in regard to my health, and when they
tire of this they insist that l am engaged
in political plans, either TO advance my
own ambition, or TO thwart the aspirations
OF others
"As The Herald has been 50 considerate
and fair, | concluded to say through ii, l
have not, am not now, nor do l expect in
the near future to take any part in shap-
ing party policies or selections of candi-
dates in Maryland or on broader fields.
My movements and occupations during
my absence from home will relate solely
TO my personal comfort and affairs.
Il hope, however, that my health win
be such when l return to Maryland an the
fail that ] can contribute something to the
success Of the Democratic party In Mary

Germany IN America.
Washington, July 15,-Mr. Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, until recently one of the
under secretaries of the German foreign
Office, arrived here from New York at 4
o'clock this afternoon in company with
DR.. Won Holleben, the German ambassa
dor, who will soon leave for Germany
for his summers vacation. During his
absence Mr.. Won Schwartzenstein will act
as charge d'affaires Owing to fatigue
from his journey he excused himself to
callers and retired early
1t is recalled that during Mr.. Harrison's
term as President Mr.von Schwartzensteln
negotiated with Mr.. Blaine a reciprocity
treaty. between this country and Germany,
and his coming at this time has created
some interest in official circles, as it Is
thought that he may be under instruc-
tions from his government to revive nego-
tiations on the pending treaty which has
for some time been in abeyance.
Nothing definite on the subject is known,
however. and 1t is not probable that he
will make known his purpose until after
he has been formally presented to the
President. This formality is likely to take
place early in the coming week.

the disease he says:
"The foci of infection have increased al
most daily The first cases We're removed
from the guard house and band room in
the barracks. Other cases followed these
from the same locality. Then cases were
traced to the barracks occupied by The va
rious companies. New fccT appeared in the
town, four cases being removed from
San Basilo house, two doors below this
office Several cases have also been taken
from the arsenal. The military hospital is
one of the greatest sources of danger, sew
eral cases, among them hospital stew

SPLENDID LIGHT GUNS.
sandy Hook Experiments with Cam
non and Explosives

Washington, July 15.-The war depart
ment has recently concluded exhaustive
series of experiments at Sandy Hook with
high explosives and light field guns that
promise, If adopted to result in armlng the
troops in the Philippines with the most adj
vanced type of light field guns in the
world.
The board has decided on a type of field
gun which can fire fifteen armed shots per
minute which can be operated by one man
and which its fun crew can take to pieces
in fifteen seconds for loading on muleback
for transportation wherever needed. Il Is
three-inch calibre, can carry solid shot
shrapnel or a bursting charge OF high ex-
plosive which viii kill by concussion IN q
radius of 200 feet.
The high explosive has been tested for a
year, and Is said to be superior TO either
lydite, the British. or melnite the French
high explosive.
