DEWEY AND KITCHENER.

The more facts that come out in
relation to the late Soudanese cam
paign the more one finds to admire
in Kitchener, the Dewey of Great
Britain. An admirable thing about
it all is that the British government
was quick to appreciate his merit and
has shown its appreciation by giving
him practically free hand in the
government of the region. The idea
suggests itself that the United States
might have shown as great wisdom
had it recognized Dewey's merit by
giving him free hand in the Philip
pines and done so with the assurance
that the trust would not have been
misplaced. But Secretary Alger
wants an army officer at the head of
affairs, so this is not to be.
Kitchener's whole campaign in the
Soudan, lasting over two years, cost
two and half millions, and at the
close he had railway the first cost
of which is estimated at about two
millions, though having free labor it
does not represent by any means
that expenditure. In addition he has
telegraph lines, steamers on the Nile
and large workshops.
Kitchener and Dewey each possess
in high degree military genius and
the ability of administration. Such
men are rare. Few of them are born
in a century. When one is discovered
it behooves a government to make
the most of him. Great Britain's ex.
perierce has taught her this. The
United States may have the knowl-
edge, but has not put it into service
being handicapped by members OF
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Re-
view.

Electrical Convention Committee of the
board OF Trade Secures n Steamboat for
the onttnG. H
The committee of the Board of Trade
which is arranging for the entertain
mont of the delegates to the convention
of municipal electricians in this city
during the first week of next month
Friday closed contract with
Capt. Denney of PENIS Grove, N. j.,
for the steamboat Endeavor for the
river trip which is to be given the
visitors on Thursday, September 7th.
A most enjoyable outing has been
planned. The boat will leave this city
at 10 O'Clock in the morning and will
steam down the river to New Castle,
where an hour will be spent in visiting
the Jail, which, with its post and pill
Tory, will be novelty to many Of the
guests. After leaving New Castle the
boat will run down to the head of the
bay, where it will turn and go up the
river to Philadelphia, where 1t will
run around the battleships which will
be there for the naval parade on the
following day. The party will be taken

and State officials, Board of Trade
committees, representatives of the
newspapers and some of the larger

ment, but the capacity of the boat is
| limited and as it Is expected there will
be several hundred of the visitors. it
has been decided to limit the invitation
list, so far as the contributors are con-
cerned, to those giving 1876 or more. Ii
would be an impossibility to do any
thing else
The committee is pleased with the
manner in which the citizens are
taking hold of the matter by showing

An Interesting Affair at the Yards of tho


Barian & HoliinHsworth Co.
The launching of the Red d Line
steamship Maracaibo at the shipyards
OF the Harlan d Hollingsworth Co.
Thursday afternoon was decided sue
cess ID every particular and the builders
we're congratulated by the representa-
yves OF the steamship company who
were present. All arrangements had
been carefully made and the boat
glided from the ways promptly at the
appointed time and under the most
favorable circumstances.
AS the boat started to move she was
christened by Miss Mary Dallis,
daughter of John I. Dalls, superin-
tending engineer of the steamship COM
pany, who broke bottle of champagne
over the bow. On the christening
stand, in addition to Miss Dallis, were
several other visitors and officers of the
Harlan u Hollingsworth Co., and some
OF the women waved handkerchiefs as
the pretty craft glided down the ways,
while hundreds of other spectators
watched the initial plunge of the boat
from nearby points of vantage.
In order to check the speed of the
boat after leaving the ways and pre-
winning uer Irunl BelllDS LOO ihr away,
snub line about three inches in
thickness, which was attached to the
bow, was operated from the upper end
of the ways and the result was effectu.
ally accomplished in this manner. Sew.
eral men, with mechanical device,
retarded the progress of the rope by
applying weight to it, and in order tc
prevent it from being ignited by the
friction and burning, a large stream o.
water was poured on it where there wa:
any likelihood of its becoming heated
but Notwithstanding this precautior
| the rope burned some and the smok,
which arose found its way to the
christening stand above. Everything
around. the rope was saturated with
water. however, and there was not tn,
slightest danger of the woodwork be
coming ignited.
The boat presented a pretty pictur,
as she rested peacefully on the water
of the Christiana. The design IS grace
full aud she is oble-looking craft
The work of preparing her for servic
will be pushed as rapidly as possibl
and she will be delivered to her owner
in few weeks.

THE ouKB OF SosE-sLBEDISe.
AstriDgent Properties of Ham Fat iffectuu
In Filing the Kuptures. r.

Philadelphia Press. t'
Nellie E. Henry, the young woman
Of Camden, who, after bleeding for
over IL hours from tho nose, when
close to deaths door from loss of
blood, was saved at the Cooper Hos
pital by packing her nostrils with
strips of ham fat, was reported out of
danger yesterday. Her case, which
was diagnosed as epistaxis, is rare
one, and but seldom met with by the
family doctor" The fact that Miss Henry
bled for over II hours, and that this
condition persistentiy refused to yield
to extraordir ar remedies, has attracted
much comment in the medical fra
ternity, both in Camden and Philadel-
phia, more especially so as the strips
of ham fat succeeded in stopping the
hemorrhages that stubbornly defied the
application of most astringents.
The doctor who was first called in to
attend the young woman at her home.
No. 527 Berkeley street, and worked I'M
successfully, with several other physi-
clans, to stop the flow OF blood, yester-
day rather discredited the efficacy of
mere strips of ham fat in hemorrhages
in epistaxis, or any other trouble that
principally manifests itself by profuse
| bleeding. Many other physicians who
were seen on the subject made the
same statement regarding the use OF
ham fat in hemorrhages. All pooh
poohed the remedy.
But the doctors at the Cooper Hos
pital, Camden, and some of the attend
ing surgeons of few of the principal
hospitals in Philadelphia, who were
| seen in reference to ths reasons for the
| 4 h. nf
\ Miss Henry by the plugging of her
\ nostriis with ham fat, not only APP
proved of the general adoption OF
hemorrhage action. Ham fat is more
or less astringent, according to the
amount of salts that have been alb
sorbsd by the meat when in the curing
process. These salts are not only good
antiseptics, but strictly astringents,
but in the case of Miss Henry the
doctors say that the ham fat, and moi
the chemical properties, played the
lending part, and undoubtedly saved
her life. Through this, in conjunction
with the strong application of muriats
of iron, that had unsuccessfully beer
used in great quantities on plugs Of
cotton before the ham fat was applied,
the cure is ascribed.
The bleeding from epistaxis is caused
by ruptured minor veins. The TISSUE
of the ham fat, being superfine and
yielding readily, fills in the minute
| ruptures or tears in the throbbins
veins. The blood pouring over thu
fatty tissue coagulates in blots on thu
ham fat, and forms, u scab. Thu
hemorrhage ceases, and the blood
scapbed ham fat soon forms into whai
is called cline.
Cline is non-porous membrane re
sembling skin, and is the tissue tina
forms over all healthy sores, and make
the scar. The greatest efficacy of han
fat in nose bleeding is its softness ant
adaptability to wedge into the micro
scopic tear, and its very fattiness re
sisting the blood, which would force it
way through chemical applications
causes the ham fat to be the hes
remedy in nose-bleeding, even thouel
it be what is sometimes denominatet
granny fad"

Dover, Aug. THE talk about an
e,ectric railway for Kent county was
renewed WITH vigor this morning,
when the Diamond State Construction
Co. of Dover, which has a capital
stock of 500, 600, filed its certificate Of
INCORPORATION in the office of Secretary
If State Hughes and deposited in the
Farmers Bank and the First National
Rank several thousand dollars to be
used in accomplishing the company's
urinary object The new company is
independent of the concerns of which
John d. Hawkins lie at the head.
The capitalization OF 100000 does
not represent the full value of the
stock to be issued by the Diamond
State Construction Go. The company
will construct an electric railway, and
The 800, 900 is simply to enable it to
begin operations. Later, another GER
tificate OF incorporation. when the
capital stock will be nearly 81, 900, 600,
will be filed.
The new company is composed of Leo
Belmont, Morris Bernheimer, William
Graham and Col. George F. Leland OF
Philadelphia, Attorney General White,
Recorded of Deeds Lord and others.
One of them says: 1--WE bear Mr..
Hawkins no i'll will for not surrender
Ing to us the charters of the companies
in which he is interested, though VIC
would have preferred to secure them.
We did all in our power to get the
charters of the Milford & Dover and
the Dover & Woodland Beach railways,
Offering fair price, but Mr.. Hawkins
would not accept our offer. We are
not bound to wait longer. Already
valuable time has been wasted. -
The action of the new company j:
approved here, and in few days the
towns between Dover and Milford viii
be canvassed, to ascertain the senti
ment of their citizens. The farmer!
along the proposed route, from Milford
to Woodland Beach, will also be con
suited.
Permission to occupy State ant
Loockerman streets, Dover, will b,
requested. If the Town Council grant
tho request, tho company will ma
cademize those streets or pave then
with stone, as the Council may direct
The company will also put fountain
and flower beds in the public square.

bernard McClanerty's Son Writes OF HIS
TrIp-A firing Line 40 Miles Long.
Bernard McClafferty Of Greenville,
himself veteran of the Civil War,
has received letter, under date of
July l4th, from his son, William, who
is member OF Go. O, Sixteenth
Infantry, now in the Philippine
Islands. He writes that they arrived
June Goth and were glad to get off the
boats On their way they saw a
volcano in mid-ocean. 1t was passed
ut ii O'Clock at night and was a weird
srectacle.
At the time of writing, the regiment
was on outpost duty around Manila.
1t was the rainy season there, raining
every night almost continuously, and
the pouring rain, when the soldier had
to be on duty among the rocks and
bushes, made him wish he was back
home again. .s
1--WE have had no fight as yet, J"
writes McClafferty, "but expect to be
attacked at any time" They were on
the firing line. which was about 40
miles long. He says the enemy always
attacks at night.
Tho writer speaks of Manila as a
hundred years behind the times. The
men are small but they can almost
carry house ON their backs. He was
interested in seeing the water buffalo
that are used in that country.
He was more than pleased with
Honolulu, where they stopped on their
way out. He says it is the finest place
he ever saw. The weather was fine and
cool, whereas in Manila it was very
hot. If Manila were like Honolulu hi
would like to stay all the time; but
some of the men would like to ge
back to the States again.
He reports all the rest Of the Brandy
vine boys we'll, mentioning Jim
Dougherty, who sends his regards.
