Martinez Campos has insisted upon the
appointment of a commission to investi-
gate the conduct of the val and to place
the responsibility. Carelessness and
neglect all through the war gave rise to
the most disastrous conditions, but no
more dangerous than comes from neg
lect of the health. 1t is every ones duty
to guard his health. 1t is easier to keep
it than regain it. Hostetter's Stomach

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or infammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infiiction is demo-
MAC enough to warrant the belief. 1t
has never been claimed that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm would cast out demons,
but it will cure rheumatism, and hun
dreds bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves
the pain, and this quick relief which it
affords is alone worth many times it
cost. For sale by A. c. Ireland.

1t is. generally supposed that in In
ventive ingenuity the Yankee boy leads
the world, and we always point with
pride to our Ben Franklins, Eli Whit
:neys, and Tom Edisons, but an English
lad not yet of age, with an invention
for which he has already refused more
than quarter of a million dollars, has
made pretty fair startin the direction
of fame. s.zs
This noiseless and smokeless electric
gun invented by Mr.. Newman, a young
apprentice at Whitehead's 8 torpedo fac
tory, exists at present only in the tiny
model weighing seven pounds.
With this small weapon, however, the
inventor has made very satisfactory
experiments, shattering target at a
distance of a mile and also at FIVE miles
range The gun has very high muzzle
velocity. It is said that the inventor
has refused anofferof e 75, 900 from the
admiralty for hisinvention. Meanwhile
he is carefully guarding his secret while
he constructs model weighing 100
weight. This he hopes to try probably
in July. Mr.. Newman is the son OF q
Portland grocer. His genius has de-
veloped early for he is still in his twcn-
tieth year. s,z5s
