SPAIN CAPTAIN
PRAISES SCHLEY.
MOren, Who Commanded the
Cruiser Colon.
Sampson Not in the Fight.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Captain Diaz
Meren, who commanded the Colon ut
the battle of Santiago, says that
Admiral Sampson could take no act
i've part in the fight, because his ship
was IL miles to the west of Santiago
harbor when the Spanish squadron
appeared, while Admiral Schley, with
the Brooklyn Aging his pennant, and
the Iowa, were close to the mouth OF
the harbor. A dispatch from Madrid
says that Moren adds;
Both warships fought the Maria
Teresa, which seven minutes after
ward was afre. My ship, the Colon,
appeared then, firing her larboard
guns against the Iowa, which, not
moving quickly enough, would have
been sunk by the Colon hUt not the
Brooklyn engaged us so quickly,
Evidently the credit of the first part
of the battle, during which the Maria
Teresa and the Vizcaya were placed
hors de combat, belongs to Schley,
as we'll as the second part, during
which the Colon fought alone against
the Brooklyn and the Oregon. |
think Admiral Dewey's praise to
Schley is just. /. does not diminish
Admiral SIMPSONS glory, to whom,
as supercommander was due the
positions of the ships held in the line
of the blockade and without whose
instructions the result might besseen

President Schwab of the Steel Trust
Astonishes Collector for Christ.
mas Poor Fund
New ork; Dee. fS.-AsMAr Mr.. Seiwab,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation, was hurriedly leaving
the meeting of the National Civic
Federation a young man walked az
ter him and, in u few words, explain
ed that he was collecting money fora
fund to supply free gifts for poor
children for Christmas. Mr.. Schwab
put his hand in his waistcoat pocket
without slackening his pace, pulled
out 81. 900 bill and handed it to the
collector, with the comment: I'm
very glad to be able to do this-very
glad"
The young man glanced at the
amount OF the bill with astonish-
ment, and was muttering a few words
OF thanks when Mr.. Schwab drew
out another bill-this time $500
pressed it into his hand and then pro-
ceeded on his way.
The young man is still wondering
if his look OF astonishment at Mr..
Schwab's muni6cence was mistaken
by that gentleman for one of disap-
pointment. At any rate, the poor
children's fund is $500 richer as the
result.

DOWN MOUNTAIN
WITH A BIG BEAR.
Peddler STEMS Sleigh Attacked on
Steep Hillside.

Susquehanna, Pa, Dec. 19.-Fritz
Steinisa psddler known by every one
on the road between his home at
Hackensack and Scranton. He car
ries in his red wagon box everything
from a darning needle to a stove.
Fritz was driving his sleigh along
the road down Pocono Mountain
near Manunka Chunk on Friday at
twilight, singing because Of the good
sales Of the day, when, with a savage
spring, his horse jumped into the air
and lurched forward.
Fritz's hair stood ON end, for right
ahead in a bend in the road was a
huge black bear. The brute sham
blsd forward and struck at the horse,
which gave sudden spring, twisted
on thethills and went down the noun.
tain at a furious pace. The sleigh
was left standing upon the knoll.
Fritz screamed in terror. He was
unarmed, and he saw certain death
ahead. He leaped from the sleigh,
tumbled into the box in which he
stored his stock and fastened both
doors. The enraged bear attacked
the sheep hides on top Of the sleigh
and tore them into shreds. Then he
tried to tear off the top Of the box to
reach Fritz, who was holding the
doors closed and expecting every
moment that the top would break.
Then the unexpected happened.
The sleigh was standing in the deep,
smooth tracks made by the heavy
sleds OF the lumbermen and the ter
rife exertions OF the bear, with his
added weight, suddenly started the
the outfit down the incline, shooting
ahead with frightful velocity.
The bear realized his. danger and
grow!ed as he crouched and chung to
the guard rails on top OF the box.
Poor Fritz closed his eyes and braced
himself for the shock which he well
knew would soon come. THE road
was straight ahead for two miles. In
the middle OF the mountain a farm
er's team pulled to one side just in
time to escape disaster and to see the
strange outfit shoot by with the
speed OF the Black Diamond express.
Near the foot OF the mountain is a
sharp bend in the road. There the
sleigh left the track, shot directly
across the road and collided with a
huge pile Of railroad ties.
Some hours later a sleighing party
on it's way home from country dance
encountered the wreck. The bear
was iammed in between the sleigh
and the timber, fearfully mangled
and quite dead. Fritz was fished out
of a huge pile OF snow and wooden
goods, stunned and lacerated. The
sleigh was a wreck and the goods
were scattered among the snowdrifts.
t-Fritz WAS carried to n farmhouse,
where he received medical attendance.
In a day or two he discovered his
horse in a farmers barn five miles
ahead, and he rode it to his Hacken-
sack home.

rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation Of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

with his rife his second to largest lion.
In order to get a shot at the unsuspect-
ing beast the governor leaned the
larger portion of his weighty body over
perpendicular cliff 40 feet high, John
Golf holding him by the leg while
Roosevelt aimed and fired and instant

A NURSES STORY.
A Graduate of Lakeside Hospital,
Lake Geneva, Tells an Inter-
esting Experience.

Peshtigo, Wis, Feb. Is, 1901. (Spe-
ciaD .-One of the most popular nurses
that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
.Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is the
Vice Templar of the Independent Order
of Good Templars, and Organist of the
Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her
twelve years experience as trained
nurse, she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as trained
nurse, have often observed how many
different physicians give their patients
Dodd's Kidney Pills ii cases of Diabetes
and Kidney Trouble. About three years
ago, I myself suffered some months
with a weakened and continual con-
gested condition, ard I decided to try
what the Pills would do for me. [ soon
found that they built up the affected
parts, and restored harmony to the en-
tire system, and although I often lose
much sleep and rest while attending
severe cases, l find that l was never in
finer health nor had more endurance
than since have used these marvellous
Pills"
Clergymen say they are good, Sena-
tors and, congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties of this Medicine, hundreds Of
physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
skilled trained nurses advise their use
and use them themselves, While tens of
thousands of sick and suffering peo-
pie are being cured every day by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. They should cure you.
They will cure you. Try them.

FOLLOWING DE VETS FORCE.
Despite Efforts of British Boer Gem
eral Crosses River and Cuts
the Lines.

London, Feb. 16,--Gen. Kitchener,
telegrap hing from De Aar, Cape Col
ony, under Saturdays date, says:
DE Vets force crossed the railway at
Boartmons Siding, north of here before
daylight, February Is, closely followed by
Plumer Cable and armored trains. They
engaged the enemy while crossing. The
Beers, however, cut the lines north and
south of the place Of crossing.
I'VE captured over 20 wagons many of
which were loaded with ammunition, and
also a Maxim, 20 prisoners, and over 100
horses. The troops are still in close pur-
suit
London, Feb. 18.-The news from
South Africa has aroused more inter-
est in the Boer war situa ton than at
any period since the relief of Lady
smith. The populace believes that
Kitchener, goaded by the sharp criti-
clsm of his apparent inability to
bring the war to close, has deter
mined to do all in his power to cap
ture De Wet. Whatever may have
been the cause of the sudden buckling
up of the British, it is plain that
terrible effort is now being made to
overtake and annihilate Gen. De Wet.
1t is equally the belief that if De
Wet is defeated it will mean the be-
ginning of the end of the Boer strug
gle for freedom.
Gen. De Wet was reported on Feb
ruary 13 as engaged with Piumer's
column near Philipstown, about so
miles east of the railroad which he
has just crossed. He is headed south
west.
According to a Cape Town dispatch
De Wet has 2,10O men and several
guns. He is not hampered with a
heavy wagon train and a large array
of women relatives and camp follow
ers as Cronje was. His force is mo-
bile in the extreme, some of his men
having as many as two or three
horses. He has hitherto relied for
supplies on the raids made on British
provision trains. It will not be
great surprise after all if he again
gives his pursuers the slip.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 18.-Five Boer
prisoners who escaped from the Is
land of Ceylon have arrived at 8.

steamer to which they swan while
in the harbor of Colombo. Among
them is nephew of President STEM
and brother-in-law of Gen. Botha,
