 the Eth and 17th regimental bands were assembled on deck before the officers quarters and rendered patriotic and inspir
 Ing airs. Washington's fam. oas farewell 10 the American people, previous to his retire. ment to Mt Vernon, was read by Captain Doctor Winter and the men were much impressed with is wise and prophetic sayings. After Captain Doctor Winter h~d concluded Capt. Waltz, of Go. c. 12th reg de liyerea q brilliant and scholar ly address on the glorious life of tie father of hls countrY.a , aud set forth ill graphic terms his many supreme and noble traits of character. He con eladed by giving brief review of the Spanish American War ana commenting the men of the l2th and 17th for their gallant and Talorous actions in the battles of Fl Ganev, San Juan Hill and Santiago The eere

 There are twenty. .tbree guard posts situated in differ
 ent parts of the ship. Guards are stationed continually at these posts The principal places guarded being the of tieefs quarters and the water faucets. No person is allowed to carry any water away from the faucets unless by permls- sion of the officer of the day. The boys when thirsty must carry their tin cups to the fau- cets, draw the water and drink il then. After quenching their thirst they must move on. The boys all wash with salt water, and to do this they must have salt water soap, all other soaps being of no use with salt water
 We are having company mess aboard the ship and the food we are receiving is pretty fair. All the boys seem to have acquired prodigious ap
 petites since leaving New York and the quartermaster is en. deavoiing to appease them. He has succeeded fairly we'll.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, October 20.
The appointment of d. M. Sullivan
as Institute Director by the Board Of
Public Works at Lewisburg yesterday,
is the sequel to an interesting family
falling out.
When the Board became Republican,
by a majority Of one, two years ago,
d. NJ. Sullivan, Republican, was ap-
pointed secretary of the Board to sue
coed c.. C. Brown, Democrat. Mrs.
Sally Scott Brown, who is sister-in-law
to both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Sullivan.
was instrumental in securing Mr.. Sulli-
vans appointment. Mr.. T. C. Alike
son, Democrat, appeared to dominate
the Board, although it was politically
against him. Mr.. Atkeson induced the
Board to create the Office of Institute
Director and place Mr.. Brown in it,
but in order to have money enough to
pay the Institute Director his salary of
a thousand dollars a year, Mr.. Atkeson
said the secretary must be deprived OF
his stenCgrapher, Mrs. Sallie Scott
Brown, who was costing the Board $35
per month. The Board agreed to this
and Atkeson and Brown were happy.
A place had been made for NJ. Brown,
but the secretary's stenographer was
deprived of her job. Mrs. c. C. Brown
and Mrs. Sallie Scott Brown ceased to
be friends, and the relations between
them became so strained that Mr.. G.. 9.
Brown requested Mr.. Sullivan TO dis
charge his stenographer, whom he (Mr.
Sullivan) mad been paying a small sal
airy out of his own pocket. This Mr..
Sullivan refused to do, whereupon the
relations between the secretary and the
Institute Director became strained. The
next move of Messrs. Atkeson and
Brown was to secure the removal of
Mr.. Sullivan. Mr.. Atkeson induced
Mr.. Miller, the new Republican mem
Der, to join with Mr.. Sydenstricker and
himself in electing Mr.. G. NJ. Garvin,
of Ohio county, secretary. This the
Board did last Saturday, and Mr.. Sui
Ivan was thrown overheard. This was
Messrs. Atkeson and Browns day of
triumph. 1t was glory enough for one
day. and the Board adjourned to meet
at Lewisburg this week, when the for
malfty of re-electing Mr.. Brown as In
stitute Director would be gone through
with. But the displacement of Mr..
Sullivan made the farmers furious.
Everybody began to denounce the Board
for its action. and Gov. Atkinson joined
in and lent the weight Of his influence
to have Mr.. Sullivan reinstated. The
result was the Board. at its meeting
in Lewisburg, elected Mr.. Sullivan In
stitute Director in the place of Mr..
Brown, and the latter is now the one
out OF a Job.
This has been an interesting personal
contest between Sullivan and Brown,
in which politics played little OF no
cart.

brought to book Immediately. But
sensible people will easily understand
that If you want to sell goods to people
it is much better to have your ware
houses and "e~ntrepots" as nea them
as possible and not 700 miles away on
an island lying outside the regular
trade routes. 1t is absurd to hope that
Mania will become a distributing point
for exports to China, when the SUI
premacy of Hong Kong herself is
threatened by several other Chinese
ports, the cost of trans-shipment being
there, as it would be at Manila, a vital
element in the competition for Chinese
trade. Only
BY TRADING DIRECTLY
with the Chinese through Chinese
ports, our consuls tell US, can we hope
to win in the race for the trade OF
those people. Manila, unfortunately, is
in the wrong place to serve as an EN-
trepot" to the continent of Asia.
1t now develops, through the report
CT an army officer, that we are short OF
powder to supply the big guns OF our
coast d~efenses. Much of the powder on
hand has deteriorated by reason OF
the dampness of the magazines or be-
cause Of the instability CT the chemical
elements composing the powder. A
short time ago it was reported, also by
an army officer, that the guns in these
same defenses were not properly cared
for, and that many more men would be
| needed to fully man them. Thus if a
war were to break out tomorrow with
some foreign power there would be a
tremendous scurrying about TO ge. the
coast defenses in shape to repel an at
tack by sea. AS the coast defenses are
one of the most expensive developments
of the revival of the military spirit in
this country, the inquiry is pertinent,
what is the use Of the vast expenditure
involved in setting UP guns along the
sea coast if they are allOwed to rust!
The coast defense scheme involves the
expenditure of between $70,000,000 and
800, 000, 900. When complete it Will re-
quire an army of 21,000 artillerymen to
man the guns, and thousands OF dol
lars annually to keep up the supply OF
shot and shell. This is just M OF the
items that go to make up the new mil
itarism upon which we are entering.
THE LAND LAWS OF HAWAII
are giving the President some trouble.
Some time ago., by virtue of his author
ity as dictator over the affairs OF that
territory, the President suspended these
laws, although the understanding OF
the Hawaiians was that their local legls-
lation not in conflict with the United
States constitution would continue IN
force until Congress otherwise pro-
vided. Now come protests and coun-
ter-protests against the suspension OF
the land laws, the first from those who
are anxious to invest and the last from
suuatters who do net want to be ousted.
To cap all, it is asserted that the oil
garchy in power at Honolulu is anxious
to reward it's friends by disposing OF
the public domain to them before prices
have appreciated too much. The public
lands of Hawaii are less than 1,80O,0 0
acres in area and are valued at some
thing over $4,000, 900. Much OF this
area is leased, but as the leases expire
the lands become available for sale. 1t
will not be long before the entire public
domain of Hawaii will be gobbled up.

RECOVERED HIS LOST VOICE.
The Strange Experience of a Penn
syIyaufa OH Pumper

FRANKLIN, Pa, Dec. 22.-John Bur-
kett. aged forty years, resident of
Marienville, has recovered his power of
speech after being mute for five years.
Five years ago he was employed as an oil
well pumper on a lease eight miles from
Bradford, when he fell into a tank OF oil
and almost lost his life, being resuscitated
with much difficulty.
When he recovered the use of his other
faculties he was unable to utter word,
and from then until today had to express
himself by means of pencil and paper.
Owing to this infrmity he was unable to
get work at his trade, and he has made q
living at almost any and all kinds of woik
Lately he has been piling bark at Ross
Mills on the Collins Lumber Company's
railroad, in Forest county. While at work
today he slipped and fell, striking his head
violently on the edge of tie, but not
rendering him senseless.
Chagrined at his own awkwardness and
the pain of his hurt. he was thrown in,o
fierce frame of mind and cursed roundly,
and, to his establishment, moi unmixed with
fright. he was able to hear the curses.
The sound OF his own voice. unheard
for nearly five years. was strange to him,
and he was so fearful OF again losing it
that he sang, shouted, and talked 10 him.
