Washington, d. c., Aug. 24.-Secre-

whatever with any urgency in public
business. In fact, it was more OF a So
cial than a business trip, although of
course official business was talked

dealing with all matters Of import
ance that have come before the De-
partment of State since President Nc
Kinley left Washington-the matters
themselves had been telegraphed to
Canton just as they came before the
department. Secretary Hay will come
back to Washington from Canton, but
his stay will be short. as he has plan

Acting Secretary Hackett has made
public a letter to Admiral Schley
showing that Real Admiral Howison
assured the Navy Department that he
had no prejudice against either Rear
Admiral Schley o rRear Admiral
Sampson and was on friendly terms
with both, before he was selected as a
member of the Schley Court of In
quiry, and that consequently he does
mt think it necessary to ask Rear Ad-
miral Howison to say anything about
the newspaper interview published
when he was Commandant of the Bos-
ton Navy Yard, which quoted him as
speaking disparagingly of Schley. The
second floor of large building just
completed in the Washington Navy
Yard, is being fitted up for the use OF
the Court of Inquiry, it having been
decided that no room in the Navy De
partment is large enough to accommo-
odate the crowd that will be attracted
to the daily sittings of the Court.

WHAT'S IN A NAME2
(Bsnson's Plaster is Pains Mastsr.)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rsney. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name Of Oliver Ames & Son, was
. synonym for honesty. It was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is 'good" plaster does
not describe it it is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as q matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc, are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in Q
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received ftSy.fUe highest ouords.
Beware Of substitutes and cheap limitations.

pay postage on any number ordered in the

A BUDDING HUMORIST.

Merry Memories OF q First Meeting
- ~ o9Nith Artemus Ward ~
On going into the Cleveland Plain
saw a new man, who was introduced
to me as Mr.. Browne.
He was young, cheerful in manner,
tall and slender, not quite up to date
IN style OF dress, yet by no means
shabby. His hair was fiaxen and very
straight; his nose, the prominent fen
ture OF his face, was Romanesque-
quite violently so-and with a leaning
to the left. His eyes were blue gray,
seemed SO given to a merry laugh, SO
much in motion. that it was difficult
to describe. -
1t seemed as though bubbling in him
was a lot of happiness which he made
no effort to conceal or hold back.
When we were introduced. he was sit
ting at his table writing. He gave his
leg smart slap, arose, shook hands
with me and said he was glad to meet
all the time. You could not look ut

as he sat at his table writing. When
he had written thing which pleased
him, he would slap his leg and laugh.
noticed that George Hoyt and
James Brokenshire at their tables were
pleased with his merriment and in
dulged In broad smiles. AS babe him
and the others good morning he said,
"Come again, me liege." l thanked
him, said would and went my way,
thinking what a funny fellow he was.
Within a month thereafter appeared
In the columns of The Plain Dealer a
funny letter signed "Artemus Ward"
The writer said he was In the show
business, had trained kangaroo, "a
most amoosin' little cuss," some
'snaix" and collection of wax fig
ures, which he called a great moral
show" AS he was coming to Cleve-
land to exhibit, he made a proposition
to the proprietor that they scratch
each others backs"-the publisher to
write up the show vigorously and the
Snowman to have the handbills print
ed at his Office and give him free tick
cts for all his family. So found my
young friend of the gurgle and hay

just bursting into bloom. Artemus, as

soon had city full of friends, myself
and family among them.-James f.

The Time For Planting Bulbs.


There Is no definite rule to be laid
down as to the length of time in which
bulbs should be left in cold storage.
As a general thing, top growth will not
begin, until root growth is completed.
This nearly always takes from six
weeks to two months. 1t is therefore
generally safe to begin bringing Octo-
Der planted bulbs to the living room in
December. Those desired for later
towering can be left in cold storage,
where they will remain dormant as to
top growth. By bringing bulbs to light
and warmth at intervals Of a week or
ten days we secure a succession Of
bloom which makes it possible for us to
brighten our windows with their beau
tifui flowers during the greater part Of
winter.-New Lippincott.

PUSHING FORWARD.

There is always q way to rise, my boy,
Always way to advance;
Yet the road that leads to Mount Success
Does not pass by the way of Chance,
But goes through the stations Of Work and Striva
Through the valley Of Persevere,
And the man that succeeds, while others fail,
Must be willing to pay most dear.
For there's always way to fall. my hoy,
Always way to slide,
And the men you find at the foot Of the hill
All sought for easy ride.
So on and up, though the road be rough
And the storms come thick and fast;
There is room at the top for the man who tries.
And victory comes at last.
