The Americans deployed and returned the fire with 8 number of volleys. The troops advanced steadily supported by the Hotcbkiss and Gatling qua and drove the eoemy through Jaro to the open countsy beyond the town.

Then he will send for doctor and find out to his surprise that all these disorders have been but the danger signals of big malady that has robbed him of his health possibly forever.

Washington WOman's FrivOIity and
the Cause of 1t.
Washington Post
A member of one of the oldest Presby-
terrain churches in the town met me the
other day and told, with a great deal of
regret, that she had really made up her
mind to forsake her old place of Worship
for new one.
L know I'm silly she said, but In
the most solemn moment of the commun-
ion service I always grow hysterical,
remembering the history of the church's
silver, and l really must go somewhere
where can commune with an undis-
turbed mind. But perhaps you don't
know the history of that silver commun-
ion service. 1t was given to the church by
one of Its foQnders-Mrs. Beatty, one
of the most famous of American beau
ties, who in her young days, when she
was the wife of Senator White, of Flor
ida, attended Queen Victoria's very first
drawing room, knew the Duke of We'll
lington, was friend of the Countess of
Blessington, danced with Louis Napoleon
In his London obscurity and after he
was emperor had verses written to her
by N. p. Willis had her portrait done in
marble and on canvas by all the famous
artists of that day and was toasted and
feted everywhere she went.
Once when she was in Rome she was
granted private audience with the pope.

VESSELS THAT VANISH.
Instances Where Ships Have Disap-

Instances Where Ships Have Disap-
peared, Leaving No Trace
- 1t seems passing strange, considering
the enormous amount of ocean traffic car
ried on nowadays, that 1t should be pos
sible for vessel to put out to sea, in o
mt condition, only to vanish from the
race OF the waters and leave no indica-
ton of its fate True, there are hundreds
of unidentified dereicts floating about
the seas, and some of them may be the
vessels which have so inysteriously van
ished.
1t is appalling to think Of such myster-
les as the fates of these vessels, which,
setting sail with hundreds of passengers.
10 whom the voyage perhaps promises
happiness, wealth, and all the joys of
life, never reach their destination. and
are never again heard Of
Take the case of the Burvie Castle as
striking example. 1t vanished, not in
m1docean, but between the ports of Lon
don and Plymouth. Into the latter port
1t should have put on its way to Aus
tral1a. But II never reached Plymouth
and not living soul knows how or where
it vanished. 1t is most extraordinary that
1t should have been lost so near to land
without so much as spar being washed
ashore to tell of it's fearful fate
Equally mysterious is the case of the
Atlanta. This famous training vessel was
stationed off Bermuda with more than
250 souls aboard. Early in 1880 it set sail
for short cruise and from that day to
this 1t has never been heard Of.
considerable percentage of the yes
sells which disappeared forever in this
mysterious manner were running between
England and America at the time. 1t
might be thought that the terrific seas of
the vast Atlantic were responsible, but
1T has been proved that many vessels
were lost when the ocean was almost at
dead calm.
