Secretary Long has some ideas
about the kind of testimonial that
iught to be given battleships by
citizens of the states after which
they are named, as may be seen from
the following letter sent by him to
Representative Bull, of R l.. in an
swer to an inqniry; 81 would not
suggest a silver service as a gift
from the State of Rhode Island to
the battleship named for it. Such a
service must necessary be kept in
closed, and my idea for n proper
memorial is something which every
body can see. The best one I know
is that given by the Common wealth
of Massachusetts, to the battleship
Massachusetts a bronze figure of Vic.
tory in front of the forward turret.
1 think West Virginia has in mind a
bro1ze reproduction of the Coat of
Arms of that State 1 think it
would be well to appoint commit
tee of two or three with a view to
consultation with some good artist.
Was not Commodore Perry a native
of Rhode Island? If So a statue Of
him or bas relief would be worth
considering

The WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. G MARCH ts. 1901.
Secretary Root has reoord as q
patient man, but those American
and European interests, which. hav-
ing failel to accomplish their pur-
pose in Washington are now operat-
ing in Cuba TO prevent the accent
once of the conditions named by
Congress by the Cubans, may dis
cover that there is limit to his pa.
uence, and the discovery may be
accompanied by an exposure that
will not be relshed by those exposed.
These interests would like to have
the Cubaus think that they are
working for them, but as matter
of fact, they are doing nothing moth
Ing of the kind. On the contrary.
they are working to make American
control permanent, forgetting, or
rather ignoring the fact that our
national honor is pledged to turn
Cuba over to the Cubaus, Just as
soon as they demonstrates their abil-
lty to under take the responsibilities
If self.government. when these
interests are working in Washing
ton, their arguments were that it
was necessary for the great proper
~ interests of the island that Amer.
ican control should be continued in
definitely now they are seeking the
same end by trying to persuade the
Jubdns that the conditions named
IRE hard ana unjust and that if they
refuse to nccept them, they will be
modified by the next Congress. OF
course, they know better, but they
can have new argument ready aft
-r the next Congress fails to change
the conditions, if they succeelin be-
guiling the Cubans into standing in
their own lighG. Meanwhile Amer
lean control will continue.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Donson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse TO "put some
thing on painful spot all applications
for the relief OF pain have arisen.
The most successful have over been poul-
tiocs or plasters, and the best Of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as q curative agent; 1t is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year 10y year
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to tho superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
fftg.fpe highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt Of 25c. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Here is an amusing fraud. A firm
in Toronto has been advertising ex-
tensively to send on receipt of 81 a
copy of the most remarkable book
ever printed. "Contains more In
formation than any book ever printed,
67s pages. Every sport should have
one. Publication suppressed in some
countries" The number of persons
wanting such book was surprising
and the orders came in until the post.
Office department, fearing that the
mails were being used tor an improper
purpose, sent dollar in the name OF
one of its employees. 1t promptly re-
ceived d copy of ffteen.cent Bible,
and not wishing to disturb so COM
mendable an enterprise, the dlstrlb-
utors of the book have not been
molested.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Eight Killed and Twenty-nine
Injured In Chicago.
MANY BUILDINGS WERE SHATTERED.
Bursting Boiler In IA Laundry Caused
the Dnmage--The Ruins Being
Searched For Dead Bodies.
Many Persons Missing.

CHICAGO. March 12.-By the explo
sion OF the boiler in the Doremus laun
dry, 4jS West Madison street, yesterday
people were instantly killed, ~ were
injured and several are missing.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined with accuracy as yet
and II will probably require an official
investigation to settle the matter. lt Is
known that the boiler was old, second
hand affair, and there Is no record in
the Office of the city boiler inspector OF
any inspection having been made within
the last year. Pending the verdict of the
coroncr's jury A. l.. Doremus, the pro
prietor of the laundry, is held in custody
by the police, and il is the intention of
the authorities to institute criminal pro
ceedings against him should the facts
brought out at the investigation warrant
such proceedings.
The list Of dead and wounded was dill
cult to secure. Reports Of the number
of dead in the ruins run all the way from
q to 20. 1t is known that 36 employees
of the laundry had entered the place be
fore the explosion, because the automatic
timekeeper found in the ruins and which
was not damaged showed that number OF
registered arrivals. Two or three were
entering at the moment of the explosion
making an approximate total of 40 EN-
ployees in and around the building. The
list of injured includes, however, sever
al people residing in the adjoining build
ings, nearly all of which were badly
damaged. The most conservative esti
mate by the police comedies that at leas
three dead or alive. are still in the ruins
The explosion was one of almost un
paralleled severity. For nearly two
blocks up and down Madison street build
ings were shattered by its force. Prac
ticaly every window in these two block
was broken, and the list of persons Gu
by falling glass will reach to 30 or more
Persons who were in bed in the near vi
cinity say they were hurled from thei
beds. Men in barrooms were dashed t
the floors and covered with showers o
glass. Passengers in street cars wer
thrown violently from their seats.

Recruiting Brisk.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-An in.
crease of over 100 per cent in the number
of enlistments for the regular army since
the work of recruiting was begun Feb.
8, just after the passage of the army re-
organization bill, has encouraged war de-
partment officials. They now feel con-
fident there will be no trouble about
finding all the men necessary to bring
the army up to its full proportion before
the date arrives when the volunteers
must be mustered out. Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin has been receiving almost
daily reports from the recruiting officers
scattered throughout the country show
ing the results of their work. At the
end of the first week 36S recruits had
been obtained. For the week ended
March 736 recruits were obtained.

A BIoody Rain In Sicily.

PALERMO, March 11.-A strange
phenomenon is now being witnessed here.
For many hours heavy red cloud has
extended over the city, the sky being a
deep red. The rain now falling resembles
drops of coagulated blood. This phe.
nomenon, which is called bloody rain,
is attributed to dust from the African
deserts, transported by the heavy south
wind now blowing. a dispatch from
Rome says the phenomenon now to be
seen there extends also over southern
Italy. At Rome the sky is yellow, anc
at Naples a rain of sand has fallen, the
heavens being dark red

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often a
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as bacIache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part of the stomach,
