EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning
of a Familiar " Grid.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack
of ease, uneasineso, trouble, vexa-
ton, disquiet." 1t is condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast major
ity of the disease" FROM which
people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood sSarsaparilla which
purifes, enriches and vitaIizes the
blood. Hoods SarsaparIlla cures
serofula, salt rheum, plmples aud
all eruptions. 1t tones the stom-
aeh and creates a good appetite,
and it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body. Il reverses the
condition Of things, giving health,
comfort and cease" in place of
tiIsease.

Mr.. Cooke and Mr.. Ross Evans took
issue with Mr.. Lindsay, and said they
thought the committee had no authority

story of the battle of Santiago, the
general movements and difficulties of
the campaign. including the cruise of
the flying squadron in search of Ger

For almost two hours the captlins talk

keen interest in thsi personal accounts
o. the stirring events off the south
coast of Cuba Some Of the controvert-
ed questions were gone into at length
PREFERENCE OF CAPTAINS
The consensus of opinion Of the naval
officers. as developed at the conference,
seems to favor the method of reward
recommended by Secretary Long-the
comforting of medals which would carry
with them percentage of increase OF
pay In lieu Of advancement by num-
hers. This would compensate for actual
prom ton both by giving ncr ased pay
and by giving to the recipients dis
tinction which would mark them for
future service. At the same time in
some cases it would work hardship; as,
for instance, in the case of Captain
Clark.
Despite his heroic service in bring
fitess-the Oregon arnind the Horn in
such marvellous style and the gallant
service of the Oregon in the Santiago
fight, Captain Clark to-day is two
numbers below his position at the
opening Of the war. This is due to
the advancement of the Manila cap
tains, whose promotions We're confirm
cd by the Senate. Captain Clark, at
the conference to-day, however, was
willing that Secretary Longs Plan
should be adopted in order that JUS
tice might be done to the others.

The President. shortly after the re-
converting of Congress tomorrow, will

op Chapelle, the papal delegate to the
Philippines, arrived here to-day on the
United States transport Sherman,
which sailed from San Francisco De-
cember S. He will lodge in the house
formerly occupied by Charles DENLY, of
the Philippine Advisory Commission.
This action on the part of Mgr
Chapellc settles the contest between the
various friar brotherhoods in Manila,
who. separately. have been using their
influence TO obtain the privilege of en-
tertaining the archbishop and the Rev.
Father McKinnon, late of the Califor-
mia Volunteers, and now a regular army
chaplain. who was also a passenger on
the Sherman. II is said that the friars
are striving to secure AIonsignor
Chapelle's ear for the purpose of sc.
curing better protection for individual
interests.
Revolutionists having started the
rumor that Mgr. Chapelle intends even
tually to recommend the appointment
OF Father McKinnon as Archbishop of
the Philippines. the latter's defense of
the brotherhoods in the American news
papers has been translated and circu-
lated among the natives for the pur-
pose, it is declared. of showing that
rather McKinnon will support the
brotherhoods If lie is selected.
such statements as these create un-
