BLOODY OYSTERS.
An Unusual Disease that has BafiIed Mary
land Oystermen.

Capt. Nelson says that the planters
of the Rappahannock, Potomac and
York rivers have again been troubled
by the red or bloody oyster.
This phenomenal condition of the BIZ
valve was unknown up to a few years
ago and has appeared but three times
within the knowledge of the oyster
men. The affection is not general
among the oysters and only shows
itself in an occasional one, but the fear
of contamination makes all oysters in
localities so affected, unsalably. In
those so affected the '1iquor" is of a
pale reddish color and sometimes the
meat of the oyster partakes the same
hue. Scientists haze investigated the
matter and are unanimous in the con-
clusion that it does not affect the taste
or properties of the oysters but are un-
able to account for such q condition.

GEORGE DEWEY AS AN ADMIRAL
Nomina ton Confirmed by the Senate
General Otis Promoted,


President Mckinley Friday nominated
George Dewey to be admiral, and the
nomination was promptly confirmed by
the Senate. Admiral Dewey is now the
highest ranking Officer Of the Government,
either in the army or the navy. His rank
is equal to that of general of the army and
his pay, with allowances, will amount to
$4,000 year. Saturday morning in Ma
Mia bay, he hoisted his flag as admiral
over tie Olympia, which is the vessel used
as his flagship.
A part of Admiral Dewey's duties will
be to prescribe when the sun rises and
when it sets. This means that not a ship,
including the foreign war vessels in Ma
Mia bay, will sound colors for sunrise or
sunset until the colors have been raised
or hauled down, as the case may be, on the
Olympia.
The President also nominated Brig.
Gen. Elwell S. Otis, L. S. A, to be major
general by brevet to rank from Feb. 4,
1890, for military skill and most distin-
guished service in the Philippine Islands.
This nomination was also confirmed by

Winfield Scott Schlcy now outranks w.
II. Sampson in the list of the rear admirals
of the navy by two numbers. This was
accomplished when the Senate in cXecu-
tive session took up the naval nominations
and confirmed them. Under the promo
tons ordered by the naval personnel bill
all Of the commodorcs and a few of the
captains are advanced to the grade of rear
admiral. The bill provides that there
shall be eighteen officers of that grade,
ranking as follows: McNair. Howell,
Howison, Kautz, Remey, Farquhar, Wat
son, Philip, Robeson Schley, Casey,
Sampson, Cromwell, Higginson, Picking,
Rodgers, Kempff and Sumner Accord
ing to this arrangement Schley stands
tenth and Sampson twelfth on the list.
Curiously enough, Watson, who has had
more cause for complaint against the ad-
ministration than any other naval officer,
will outrank both Schley and Sampson
Admiral Howison will retire next Octo-
Der, Admiral McNair next January and
Admiral Kautz will also retire Jan. 20,
1901, and these retiremcnts will leave
Schley seventh and Sampson ninth on the
list of rear admiraIs
By this arrangement both Schley and
Sampson are deprived of any reward for
gallantry and herosm displayed during
the war, but this privation, in the minds
of many Senators, seems to be necessary
to subserve the ends Of justice.

Indomitable will that has helped so much
to make Kiplng, although so young a
man, the most famous author of his time,
aided him in his gallant struggle, and this
quality, his physicians and friends feel,
carried him past the crisis and made him
victor in the stubborn contest.
Rudyard Kipling, considered the most
popular English writer living, was born
in Bombay, India, Dec. 20, 1865. He is
the son of John Lockwood Kipling, an
AngloIndian of considerable reputation
both as an artist and an author.
Kipling was sent to England to be edu
Gated and was placed in the United Ser
vice College at Northam, Devon. In his
nineteenth year he returned to India and
took up newspaper work in an office at
Lahcrc. His first book was entitled DE
partmcntal Ditties,' published in 1886.
The young author went to England in
1889 to find himself famous and one of the
most popular writer's before the English
public. Early in 1892 Mr.. Kipling mar
ricd an American woman and for some
time made his home in Brattleboro, Vt.
In 1896 he returned to England and has
since lived there.

OTHERS HANGED FOR HIS CRIME
A Terrible Confession by Murderer
About to lie Executed.


About to he Executed.
negro named Pete Burton, who is to
be hanged at Houston, Texas, has made
a startling confession. He says that, in
addition to the murder of Gottlieb Meyer,
wife and child, at Cypress, for which
crime he is to be executed, he has killed
four other persons. Several persons have
been executed for crimes he committed.
His story has been partly corroborated.
Burton killed the Meyer family last
summer while working on their farm. He
espied deputy looking for him, secreted
himself, killed the officer and took his
rifle. Burton says that he and kit"
Robinson killed the tank tender on the
East and West Texas road and burned
the body. They obtained $41. Robinson
was convicted for this and hanged. At
Cold Springs he killed a peddler, for
which crime an innocent negro named
Fisher was hanged, he says. In this
murder he and his partner secured $500.
While escaping they reached Arkansas.
Here his partner broke his leg, and, real
izing that he would be captured, Burton
killed him.
For the murder of the water tank ten
der in addition to Robinson being legally
executed, two women were lynched at
Keno, Texas. One of them was kins-
man of Robinson. Both, according to
Burton, were innocent.
