Chester Was Disappointed.

Il do not the admiral added. ''recol-
lect just at this moment any other
conversation, except Captain Chester s
disappointment that he could not join
my squadron, which 1 thought eX-
tremely praiseWorthy."
In response to a request from Mr..
Raynor. the admiral said that one of
the places that had been recommended
by Captain Chester for coaIing was
to the southwark of Cienfuegos in the
open sea.
Il did not agree he said, that that
would be a good place to coal, because
conditions in an ordinary sea would
be aggravated in shoal water"
Admiral Schley placed his arrival
off Cienfuegos at near midnight of May
n. He told of hearing guns early
that evening. while still thirty or forty
miles distant from the Cuban port.
Describing this incident. he said:
Toward shutdown of that afternoon
I was standing on the bridge of the
Brooklyn and distinctly heard six or
seven guns fired with the cadence of a
salute. The fact of hearing these guns
was undoubtedly so much so that the
officer Of the deck spoke of it. 1 hap
sned to be there at the time"
He said that the fleet stopped for
the night ten or twelve miles off shore
CienfuegOs; that he had sent the
Scorpion ahead Of the feet as a pilot,
and towards daylight on the following
morning May %, all the ships had
1 steamed in close to the harbor en-

ADMIRAL SCHLEY H HE5
STORY OF CAMPAIGN.
Gives Graphic Description of Events that Led Up to the
Great Battle of SanfiagO==-Kind Words and Praise
for Men Who Testified Against Him. Willing
10 Assume all Responsibilities and Divide
All GLOries With His Comrades

The first event of note on the voyage
towards CienfuegoS occurred, Admiral
Schley said, after he had been out
from Key West three or four hours. 1t
was then that he met Captain McCalla,
in charge of the sub-squadron with
the Marblehead at its head, which had
been doing duty on the Cuban coast
near Cienfuegos, whittier the commo-
dore with his flying squadron was
bound.
He related how. in accordance with
the usual custom when a naval Of
ficer meets a superior in rank at sea,
Captain McCaila had asked perrnis-
sion 10 pass on. He told how McCaila
had sent the Eagle to communicat tie
with the flying squadron. Admiral
Schley also mentioned that the Scor-
pion had been sent to intercept the
Eagle for the purpose of securing what
ever infOrma ton she might bring.
After a little.' he said. "the Scor-
pion returned and reported through
the mega phone, / think, identically as
If is reported in his log. which was all
the information he gave us. The Eagle
afterward passed close enough to the
Brooklyn to hail her by the megaphone,
and repeated that there was no news.
L was on the quarter deck The thing
seemed to be almost burned into my
mind, but after what / have heard

taken
Talked With Captain Chester.
The admiral also related his meeting
the Cincinnati and the Vesuvius the
next morning off San Antonio. Cap
tain Chester. in command of the Gin
cinnati, came aboard the Brooklyn. re-
naming for about three-quarters of an
hour. He related the details of his
conversation with Captain Chester.
saying that they had "threshed out d
good many subjects"
After mentioning a number of sub
jects which did not bear upon the
present inquiry, the admiral said that
Captain Chester had expressed himself
as specially DESTROYS of joining the fly
ing squadron with his ship. but said
that his coal supply was so limited
that he would be compelled to go to
Key West at a very early date to re-
plenish it.
Admiral Schley said that he had
/ terminated this part of the converse
ton by saying to Captain Chester that
as his ship was not in his (Schley's)
command he could not attach him to
the squadron. In the same connection
witness said that Captain Chester had
asked permission to coal the Cincinnati
from the flying squadron collier. but
he (Schley) had declined this prOpO-
sitiOn. Continuing his report of the
conversation, the admiral said:
II then asked him If he had ever
cruised in the West Indies, as / had
never been on the south side of Cuba
and If he knew of any place that would
be favorable for coaling where fairly
smooth water could be expected. He
suggested a place some thirty miles to
the eastward on a bank. or to the
southwark on another bank. coaling
upon which would be problematical and
dependent upon the state of the
weather and the sea.

A Bishops Story.

One of the southern bishops enjoys
telling the following story on his own
daughter: Strongly imbued with her
fathers doctrine, she had grown up a
strict Episco palian and had never at
tended revival or camp meeting in
her life, although, as her younger
brother remarked, ''The woods were
full of them.
When she was about 16, she went to
visit an old friend of her mother in
New York, and her hostess, after
much persuasion, prevailed on her to
go to hear Tom Harrison, the famous
boy evangelist.
"But, Mrs. Burnett" she had fin
ally objected, suppose he should speak
to me. I'd be so frightened I
shouldn't know what to say
why, Virginia, her hostess had
replied, "the church will be so crowd
ed that nothing is more unlikely than
he should single out either one of us. !"
But the girls fears were realized.
AS the great preacher left the pulpit
and passed down the aisle, exhorting
first this one, then that one, he paused
at the pew where the bishops daugh-
ter was seated.
my dear child" he said ear
nestly, "are you Christain?'
''Nno, sir, she replied, "I'm an
Episcopalian.
With a twinkle in his eye the evan
gelist passed on without another word.

MOST PERFECT FOOD.
Milk Contains all the lngrs dents NeCes-
sary for the Well Being of The Human
Organism.

L
Milk is the most perfect food known,
and the only substance provided by
nature that contains all the necessary
ingredients for supplying the various
constituents required in the human or.
ganism. No other single article OF
food approaches it in this respect, and
upon no other substance can life be
sustained for so long period as up
on milk. The first demand Of the
infant is for milk, but the child is toe
often brought to a realization of the
deceitfulness of human nature by be-
ing completed to accept as a substitute
a watered combination which gorges
the stomach, but affords little nourish-
ment.
Milk, to the infant, is in every re-
spect the staff of life. In old age
there is no other article of food upon
which so much reliance can be placed
to sustain the diminishing strength
Of the vital forces. Bread has long
been regarded as the staff of life, but
it falls far short in fulfilling the re-
quirements of human economy, when
compared with milk, though it sup
plies many of the demands of nutrition
in pleasant and palatable form.
The use of milk is coincident with
the earliest history of man, and for
centuries was one of the principal az
ticles of food. When the children of
Israel were let out of bondage in
Egypt to Canaan, "a land flowing with
milk and honey" only milk was
promised bread was not on the bill of
fare, The use of milk as food is uni
versal it is demanded by people all
over the civilized world, therefore its
care and protection against impurities
and adulterants, by which it is acct
dentally or Intentionally contaminated,
requires stringent regulations on the
part of the authorities. N. Y. Weekly.

WALKING in SLEEP.
How the Phi nomena Are Explained on
Scientific Basis.

The feat of the young Illinois stu.
dent who walked twenty miles while
asleep is certainly remarkable one OF
it's kind. Usually somnambulists
make short trips and, unlike the sub,
ject in question, awake to lind them
selves in curious and ofttimes alarm
ing positions. The weirdness of the
exploit and the unnaturalness of its
accomplishment give that becoming
air of mystery which naturally appeals
to the ignorant and the superstitious
In reality, however, the phenomena
are very satisfactorily explained on
the assumption that certain areas of
the brain are for the time being
awake, while the other portions are
asleep. Thus, the speaking center
may be active and the dreamer may
carry on a connected conversation
with a listener and be perfectly oblivi-
GUS to any other impressions. Very
often under such circumstances a Sc
cret most carefully guarded during
waking hours may be disclosed to an
alert and inquisitive roommate. Not
infrequently, also, problems have been
thus composed and mathematical pro-
blems solved when the respective cere-
b raj lobes involved are on extra senti-
mel duty. The same can be said for
somnambulism in many of its forms,
the muscular sense pertaining to walk
ing being in curious condition of ex-
allied activity. Strange to say, the
victims of this distressing malady have
no recollection of their adventures al
though it is maintained that they ap-
pear to see obstacles and avoid them
and their various movements indicate
intelligence and reason. In many re-
psects the conditions represent some of
the varities OF hypnotism, differing
from them only in the matter of alb
solute autosuggestion, as against the
domination of an outside party. The
cause of the trouble are quite obscure
at least no definite lines are given by
medical authorities. 1t is reasonable
to infer. however, that in the aggra-
waited cases the disorder has cerebral
origin akin to some of the varities of
epilepsy and requires the usual treat
ment applied to the latter affection. -

When Booth Laughed.

William Mestayer, the comedian,
once said 81 never saw Edwin Booth
laugh heartily but once. We were
playing Julius Caesar at Baldwin s
in Frisco. Booth was Brutus, Nc
Cullough was Cassius, Harry Edwards
was Caesar and Charley Bishop and
1 were plain, everyday citizens. 1t
was the last night of the run, and we
all felt frisky. So when Caesar spoke
the we'll known line, Let me have
men about me that are fat. Bishop
and l. both fat men, walked boldly up
to Caesar and shook him heartily by
theh and. 1t broke Booth all up, and
he laughed outright. "

CONFESSIONS OF A HAPPY MAN.
l was married five years ago, at the
age of twenty-seven. had worked
hard and prospered in business and life
was we'll filled with promise of sue
cess.
With one exception 1 was healthy
l could do as much work as any man,
but | was a victim of disease or
weakness the result of ignorance and
improper habits, which to often cause
sorrow in after life.
My wife never knew day of sick
ness, scarcely an ache or pain, healthy
woman with rosy cheeks, sparkling
eyes and splendid figure, the envy of
other women. We looked forward to
life of happiness. For time we
were happy, but slowly we came to
realize that something was wrong. My
wife changed from cheerful, light
hearted, hopeful, happy girl. Disap-
pointment and unhappiness were pic
tured on her face She became thin,
faded, haggard, tired. weak, and COM
planned of aches and pains almost con-
tinually.
We were no longer happy.
| knew that my weakness had been
communicated to my wife and chi Id
and that our unhappiness was caus ed
by weakness and disease.
We went to Chicago and both OBJ
tanned treatment from DR.. Downing
and were restored to health. We now
realize the charms of life and health.
I believe that much of the unhappi-
ness and marital unftness as well as
many diseases which make life bur-
den to both men and women are due
to weakness which could be cured by
proper treatment. | am now happy
