"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"I'n try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected 1t, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place q Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement Of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary oau-
ton as to eIposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

Great Damage at Ithaca.

ITHACA, n. Y, Dec. 16.-The most
disastrous food Ithaca has experienced
since 1857 resulted from the heavy
downpour. a conservative estimate Of
the damage caused to property in this
city places the loss at S150,000 and it
is highly probable the total loss will
aggregate 100000. The destruction
was greatest along Six Mile creek and
Fall creek gorges. All street car traffic
was suspended and the city left in to-

of its provisions. The principal speech
of the day was made by Senator Teller
in opposition to the treaty, and he was
followed i'm rapid succession by twelve
or fifteen other senators, who spoke
briefly either for or against the mo-
ton to ratify.
There was an exceptionally full sem
ate when the time arrived for n vote.
but the certainty of ratification had be-
come so apparent that there was COM
parTtively little interest in the proceed
ing. The votes on the amendments sue
ceeded each other quickly.
Senator Culberson offered an amend
ment to insert the Davis fertilization
amendment of the last session. This
was defeated-15 10 g.

SCHlEY IS BLAMED,
Court of Inquiry Condemns Him on
Eleven Points.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE re-
port of the Schley court Of inquiry was
promulgated by Secretary Long late
last night. There are two reports.
Admirals Benham and Ramsay concur
in the first. which Is signed by Admiral
Dewey also as q matter of form. Ad-
miral Dewey makes a separate report.
although he agrees with the findings
of facts subscribed to by the others.
The majority report condemns Admiral
Schley on eleven points, while Admiral
Dewey sustains him in most particu.
lars.
The majority opinion finds in brief
that Admiral Schley should have pro-
ceeded with the utmost dispatch to
Cienfuegos and maintained close
blockade, that he should have en-
deavored to have obtained information
of the Spanish squadron there, that
he should have proceeded to Santiago
with dispatch, that he should not have
made the retrograde movement. that
he should have obeyed the depart
ment's orders, that he should have en-
sells in Santiago, that he did not do his
utmost TO destroy the Colon, that he
caused the squadron to lose distance
in the loop of the Brooklyn. that he
thereby caused the Texas to back, that
he did injustice to Hodgson, that his
conduct in the campaign was charac-
terlzed by vacillation. dilatorlness and
la aai- Of M off nl rn.
ports on the coal supply were mis-
leading and inaccurate. that his conduct
during the battle was self possessed
and that he encouraged in his own
person his subordinate officers and
men.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage to Clenfuegos was
made with all dispatch, that in view of
his coal supply the blockade of Glen
fuegos was effective, that he allowed
the Adula to enter Cienfuegos to get
information, that his passage to San
tiago was with as much dispatch as
possible, keeping the squadron togeth-
er; that the blockade of Santiago was
effective and, finally, that he was the
senior officer off Santiago, in absolute
command and entitled to the credit
due for the glorious victory which re-
suited in the total destruction of the
Spanish ships.
1t is recommended that, in view of
the length of time which has elapsed
since the occurrence of the events of
the Santiago campaign, no further pro-
ceedings be had in the premises.

In Less Degree,

UTICA, n. Y, Dec. 16.-A phenome-
nal raise of the Mohawk river has
caused the destruction of thousands of
iollars' worth of property as well ms
privation and distress among hundreds
If families along its banks.
Several days of warm weather sent
he snow and water from the hills into
lie river In torrents This, coupled
nth a heavy rainstorm during Satur-
day night, swelled the river nine feet
above its normal water line and the
city and its suburbs are under water
for miles. All trains were stalled by
washouts at Oriskany, Greenway and
Rome. One hundred feet of track and
bed was washed out four miles east of
Rome, and no trains can enter the city
from that direction.
The streets in East Rome are under
three feet of water which swept away
1000 feet of road leading to Stanwix.
People were carried from their homes
In boats. A serious break in the canal
feeder at Delta occurred at noon. Two
bridges were carried away. and the vol
ume of water when it reached Ridge
Mills, six miles below. swept 200 feet
Of the main road into the river.
West Canada creek overhowed its
banks and washed away bridges at No
bleboro and Trenton. The dam of the
Hinckley Eiber company at Hinckley,
n. Y, gave way and released 10000
logs. The logs took away the false
works of a new bridge on the Mohawk
and Malone railroad at Poland and also
a highway bridge between Poland and
Newport. a number of bulkheads were
broken, a grist mill at Trenton was
carried away, and many manufactures
along the creek were flooded. The dam
age is estimated at S25,000
The dam at the electric light plant at
MorIisville burst, demolishing three
houses and three barns. The place will
be in darkness for two weeks. \ dis
patch from Marathon, Chenango coun-
ty, reports greatest flood damages in
forty years, amounting to many thou
sand dollars.

feet in nine hours and. overhowing
It's banks, spread devastation in all di-
rections. Five hundred families We're
driven from their homes by the deluge
and as many more were excited almost
to degree of panic. Property was
damaged to the extent of $25O,000. The
damage resulting from the storms and

Rhode Island Chief Magistrate Sue
cumbs to Bripht's Disease.

cUmDs
WEXFORD. Il. l.. Dec. 17.-Wil-
liam Gregory, governor of Rhode Is
land and Providence Plantations, is
dead at his home here of acute Brights
disease following succession of i'll
uesseS. After an indisposition of nearly
two months he returned last Friday"to
the state capital, and his death was
the indirect result of n cold contracted
then. which brought on urpmic convul-
siOns. Governor Gregory was the first
governor of the state to die in office for
nearly n century and a half. Under
the constitution Lieutenant Governor
Charles Dean Kimball of Providence
becomes the acting governor for the
remainder of the term and on Jan. Z,
1902, will be sworn in as governor OF
the state for the term to which Gov
ernor Gregory had been elected on the
9TH of last month.
William Gregory, the twenty-ninth
governor under the constitution, was
an example of a self made man. From
a loom fiXer he became mill superin-
tendent and finally owner of two
worsted mills. He was president of a
national bank and a director of several
of the foremost banking institutions in
the state.
Governor Gregory was born in Asto-
ria, \. Y, Aug. 3, 1S49, and received
his early education in Westerly. In
1875 he married Harriet Vaughan, who,
with her two children, survive him.

RUIN IN PENNSYLVANIA TOWNS
Floods Damage In Mining Towns
Enormous.

PHILADELPHIA A. Dec. 16.-A storm
which for severity and destruction has
not been equaled in this section for
twenty-five years has visited eastern
and central Pennsylvania, causing al
most unprecedented damage and re-
sulting In the loss of at least four hui
man lives. The havoc in the coal re-
gions is enormous, and the loss to rail-
read and mining companies will
amount to millions of dollars. The
Schuylkill, Lehigh, Susquehanna and
Juniata rivers have risen as high as
fifteen feet above their levels, and all
OF their tributaries have overfiowed
inundating the surrounding country In
more than dozen counties.
Innumerable washouts have occurred
on the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and
Reading, Northern Central, Lehigh
Valley, New Jersey Central and Lacka-
wanna railroads. Bridges were carried
away, and traffic is at a standstil The
delegates to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor are
stormbOund at Scranton, with no idea
when they will be able to leave.
The force of the water weakened the
support of n bridge spanning creek
near Winiamsport, and as n result a
freight train was wrecked and three
men killed. AT Oneida, near Hazleton
miner was swept from bridge and
drowned.
In the Schuylkill valley forty-eight
mines were flooded, and in the Lehigl
and Lackawanna regions the destruc
ton is equally great. Hundreds OF
mules We're drowned in the collieries
and it will be weeks before many Of
the mines can resume operations.
