The noble BritOn alone rubs his
hands, tor he has all along aimed to
keep the United States and Germany,
his most dangerous competitors IN the
worlds markets. at atloggerheads. II IS a
pity that our glorious Administration
does not see through the sly game OF
John Bull. Perhaps also the evil spirits
which exert dominant influence IN the
White House would greet with pleasure
a disruption with Germany. If, for
some days, they have been more cautions
it is due, as we have il from the best
sources, 20 tine German Americans,
who in undoubted terms have made it
understood that they will no longer
suffer such Infamous proceedings. Fear,
cowardly fear Of the German American
votes, has compelled Hanna. Mckinley
and company to pause in their chase
after Germans.

not only the Americans and the peaceful
inhabitants Of the islands: il has a very

the fighting is going on all our trade is

considerable loss.

BICYCLES VS.. CARS.

Don't pay 10-cent car fares; it is
much cheaper 10 ride Sterling BIZ
cycle. The average person rides four
times daily; at 10 cents a ride this
amounts in week to 81 40. or S12 per
month. The Pacific Cycle * Mfg. Co.
on Fort street, will sell you the high
est-grade Sterling Bicycle ever manu-
featured for $50, on small weekly or
monthly installments
After you have once experienced the
pleasure and advantages OF cycling,
you will not want to ride on tramcars
at even Scent fare.
The rocky road to Dublin. or any
other place will not annoy you when
you are equipped with a built-like-a-
watch Sterling Bicycle. They will
stand more rough usage, while looking
graceful and riding easy, of any wheel
made. Their construction is perfect,
and they are light, strong and speedy
and built like a watch.
Down under the highly polished
enamel and glittering nickel is the
real bicycle; the thing you're paying
your good money for, and on the
strength of which may depend your
life. Are you going to buy bicycle of
known reputation-of a kind that has
never been known to fall down I'M
der any ordinary accident or will you
take your life in your hands and ride
recklessly to no one knows what. on a
wheel that is without reputation, just
because its first COST is a few dollars
less?

cons of which the captain is very
proud. The flock had a queer adven-

was loading. One day, while at anchor
the pigeons took fly about the city of
Adelaide, and when they returned the
bark had sailed. Close by was lying
the Danish bark Princess Maree, and
when the pigeons couldn't find their
own home they took up quarters on the
Maree. where they remained several
months Both vessels arrived in this
port a few days ago, and although
they were not anchored in sight of
each other the entire flock returned to
their former home on the CraiglandS.

ness for Trial Trip.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Aug &c
The trial trip of the battleship kear-
sarge will take place between Septem-
Der and Is. The ship is now within
about 4 per cent of completion and is
sufficiently advanced to warrant the
statement that she will be sent away
from the shipyard on her first trial
ports have been sent out from Wash
ingtOn to the effect that, owing TO the
delay caused by a shortage of men
during the yellow fever scare, the
kearsarge could not go out until the
latter part of October and the Ken
lucky not until December, but these
had no foundation.
The trial trip of the Kearsarge is be-
ing looked forward TO with a great
deal of interest, as she will be the first
warship ever built embodying the su-
perposed turret idea, that is, with the
8-inch turrets over the 13-inch turretS,
enabling this ship as well as the Ken
lucky, TO concentrate on one point a
far heavier fire in less time than any
other ship afioat Captain w. NJ. Fol-
ger, who will command the KearSarge,
has been here for some time superin
tending the work on the vessel and he
will go out on her on her trial trip.
The speed of the Kearsarge will also
be watched with interest by naval
men. The contract speed is only 16
knots, but the Newport News Ship
building e Dry Dock Company has,
thus far, managed to exceed contract
speed in all of it's merchant and Gov
eminent contracts, and it is believed
the Kearsarge and the Kentucky will
not be exceptions. The three little
gunbOats, the Nashville, the Helena
and the Wilmington, the best and
speediest boats of their class in the
world, all far exceeded the contract
speed. If the Kearsarge makes in the
of II knots an hour on
her official trial many naval men will
not be surprised.

RpcoMpeNse,

What Is the price, the price of war,
That men give life's brave service
for?
Fierce slaughter on the battlefield,
The dread Death Angels sword re-
vealed;
An army's rude and riotous haste;
The city and the farm laid waste;
Then. when the victor bids the battles
cease,
Behold, the wide worlds larger liberty
and peace.
What are the hopes, the hopes of
war,
That men despoil their foemen for?
To make a masters proud demands;
To win fair cities and broad lands;
At least for country's sake, to spend
Ones life, and gain a glorious end.
But best of all, when storms and bat
ties cease,
To win the wide worlds larger liberty
and peace.
What is the end, the end Of war,
That men have ever battled for?
Slaves, who were lords and kings of
yore;
The exultation and delight
When nations crown their men of
might.
But, at the last, when MOL and battles
cease,
Behold, the wide worlds larger liberty
and peace.

delicate dish, and If you did not know
the names of the dishes, you could eat
and enjoy rat pie, stewed cat, boiled
horse beef, fried snalls or any of the
above dainties. AS 1T is, the imagina-

has made familiar. There is no rea-
