Lieutenant McCauley was then excused
 and Lieutenant Charles Webster was call
 ed. He said he had been watch off, ficer on the Brooklyn during the cam
 paign of 1S9S and began his testimony by
 describing the blockade of Cienfuegos.
 He thought the distance at night was sev-
 en or eight miles with picket boats in-
 side the line.
 The custom at Santiago was to lie off from the port four or five miles during
 the day. The vessels steamed back and
 forth at night about the same distance out.
 Asked if he had seen any suspicious movements on shore at Santiago during the evening of July 2. the witness replied: T remember being on deck July 2 and seeing columns of smoke rising and ap- parently moving, as though vessels were steanang in the harbor. Also in my watch I remember the burning of block houses to the westward of Santiago which I reported to the commanding of- icer."

MADE GREAT RECORD
SOLICITOR IN CAPITAL CASES SECURED EIGHT CONVICTIONS
Capital Week" Was Unusually Try ing on All Court Officials and They Are Glad It
 is Over.

solicitor Lomax was most successful m the conviction of capital cases, the triai or which has just been completed m the City Court. There were eight cases tried and the State, secured eight convictions In these eight cases there were eleven defendants.
 Three cases were continued for the term on account of the absence of wit neSses, and one was continued until De- cemher 20.
 Every person connected with the City Court is glad the capital week" is over. The work of summoning 100 jurors and the tempanelling of jury of twelve and various other details connected with capital cases requires a great deal of hard work and the court officials are pretty well tired out when the capital week" is finished. This year the work was particularly trying. as the trial of the capital cases lasted two weeks.
 Of the eight convictions. one received the death penalty, one life Imprisonment. another ninety-nine. years Imprisonment and the balance from ten to twenty five years.
 The following are the cases disposed of;
 George Scott. murder, life sfmprison- ment; Frank Smith, w. J. Bell and Charlie Hartman, robbery, ten years in the penitentiary: Mack Goss and Henry King, maiiciously obstructing railroad, twenty-five years; George Edson, muf- der, death on the gallows; Jim Barnes, manslaughter, one year and $500 fine; Bill Thomas, robbery. ten years in the penitentiary: Ed Brown, ninety-nine years in the penitenttary.

JOHN B.LUNGER CHOSEN
VICE PRESIDENT TRAVELLERS INSURANCE COMPANY,
 HARTFORD.
John A. Mccall, President of the New York Life, Coinmsnds the New ofacial in the High
 est Terms.

Hartford. Conn, Dec. 13.--At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Travel CTS Insurance Company of Hartfc.d on Monday, John B. Lunger was elected to the Vice-Presidency. MT. Lunger is at present managing actuary of the New York Life, which position he has occu- pied since February, 1897, with much credit to himself and profit to the com pany. He was born in Warren County, New Jersey, in 1864, and when sixteen years old, in 1880, entered the service of the Prudential Insurance Company of Newark, N, J. The company soon put him in charge of the mathematical work and in course of time he became it's act uary. In 1886 an ordinary branch was opened. and Mir. Lunger became it's man ager pushing it with such success that it speedily became an important factor in the growth of the company. Early in 1897 the New York Life called him to it's home office where the same energy has characterized his work. In calling him to the service of the Travellers, Presi dent Dunham and the directors have shown great wisdom, and there can be no doubt that both Mir. Lunger and the company will be benefited by the selec- ton. Congratulations to both parties are therefore in order
 John A. Mccall. President of the New York Life, said on Tuesday:
 MT .Lunger leaves the service of the New York Life with the regret and good wishes of all connected with its management. The Travellers is most for tunate in being able to secure MT. Lun- gers services as Vice President. He is we'll equipped in all branches of the busi- ness, and his varied experiences qualify him as a conservative and practical off, cial. No better selection could have been made. In his new field of operations MT. Lunger will speedily demonstrate his worth as a progressive and intelligent officer" adv.

The Timber Used.

Yale Review.
 In the United States 100000 feet of pine lumber is used every year for matches, or the equivalent of the product of 400 acres of good virgin forest. About 620, 00.000 cross ties are now laid on American railroads and S0.O00.00O new ties are required annually for renewals. The amount of timber used every year for ties alone is equivalent to 3.0000 600 feet of lumber. There are now stand ing nearly 7,5o0,OO0 telegraph poles. The average life of telegraph pole Is about ten years, so that nearly 750,0O0 new poles are required every year for re- neWals. These figures do not include tel ephone poles and the poles required on new railway lines. The total annual con sumption of timber for ties and poles Is equivalent to the amount of timber grown on 100000 acres of good virgin forest. For making shoe pegs the amount of wood used in a single year is equal to the product of fully $500 acres of good second-growth hardwood land. Last and boot trees require at least 500,000 cords. more Most newspaper and packing paper is made from wood. AL though this industry has been developed only within the last forty years. yet the amount of wood consumed for paper during that time has been enormous. The total annual consumption of wood for paper pulp Is equivalent to over 800, GOO 900 board feet of timber. for which it would be necessary, were the trees all growing together to cut some 5000 acres of prime woods. And so it would be possible to go through the list and give figures which in every case are astonishing. We are now using for the lumber and paper trade about 10000, 100000 feet of lumber a year which Is equivalent to the product of about 100000 acres of good virgin forest-an area equal to Rhode Island does not include the wood used for fuel. which is four and one-half times more.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
 A Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- pie are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy. claiming to be a radical perrna- nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecially in medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges- ton rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pat ent medicine, no secret Is made of their ingredients, although they are sold by all druggists under protection of trademark, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids. Golden Seal. bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic. neither do they act power fully on any organ, but they cure indi- gestion on the common sense plan of di- gesting the food eaten thoroughly be- fore it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only sec ret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels. whereas the whole trouble Is really in the stomach.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to 1t. Food not digested or half digested Is poison, as it creates gas, acidity. head aches. palpitation of the heart. loss of flesh and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.

John Redmond. M. P.
Review of Reviews.


 One of the greatest of our imperial statesmen, who watches the proceedings In the Parliamentary arena from the distant post in which he is serving, de- clared last month that, in his opinion, MT. Redmond was the ablest parliamentarian In the present House of Commons MT. Redmond Is politician first, politi- elan second. and a politician third As an individual entity he is almost un- known to any except his intimates But he has brought keen intelligence to the study of the science of politics. He has given his mind to it, and spent days and nights in acquiring knowledge of all the niceties and rules of parliamentary pro- cedure. He is embarrassed by no fear of mutinies in his rear, and he is- con- scious of being armed with the mandate of the Irish race. As a speaker, he Is effective, fluent and eloquent If some times he may appear to forget himself as he did when he made the celebrated declaration concerning his desire for the victory of the Boers. of which Mir. Chamberlain made such capital at Blen- helm, that will do him no harm In the long run. The party which he leads, and the allies upon whom alone he can rock. on in the future in this country, will count that declaration to him for right eousness

INFORMATION FOR SHIPPERS
(Especial Hints for for Christmas
 Shippers.)


 Ship early giving an abundance of time to be delivered before Christ mas, as few packages are delivered an that day. adv.
 1. All packages of freight or merchan- disc ought to be properly packed so that all such ordinary necessary handling, as packages must have in transportation, will not result in the breakage of the contents. The strength of the box or wrapper must always be proportionate to the character or weight of the contents. All packagts should be well tied, and skould be plainly marked with marking brush or a strong tag. or label printed or written with plain black ink, and past ed on the package.
 2 If there are any old marks on a package, they should be thoroughly oblit- erated. No package should be sent to the express office with two marks there- on.
 B. If there are two places of the same name in the same State, always put tho name of the county on the package. When you send a package to a city, al- ways give the full address of the con- signee. the number of the house and the name of the street. It is always well to send letter of advice by United States mail notifying the consignee that you have sent a package by express.
 4. Do not pack in the same box one class of matter that might injure another class.
 5. Remember that glass will not carry without breakage unless properly packed. If you send glass of jelly in package of nice dress goods, and the glass breaks, you spoil your goods.
 6. Do not put any money whatever into a freight package. The way to ship money is to put it in a package by itself and take a money receipt for It, otherwise the company is not responsible. When shipping packages, always tell the re- ceiving clerk what the value is. so that such care may be given 1t as its value may require.
 '. If you want to send money take 1t to the money desk, where 1t should be properly enclosed, sealed up and ad- dressed.
 g. A good way to send money in any amount up to $1OO. is to obtain Southern Express Company's money orders, now on sale at almost every agency of the company.

Her Forget Me Not which she will pres ent on the occasion of her visit to this city enables herself and company to aprear to the very vest advantage. There is no other woman on the American stage today who can rank with Rose Ccghlan in such parts as Stephanic De Mohrivart Her superb art and power to express hu- man emotions have enabled her to score a tremendous triumph in evecy city she has so far visited this season.
 Forget Me Not has received an elab- crate production at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. New York. which has been re- tained in it's entirety for Rose Coghlans' present Southern tour. Her supporting company has been chosen from among the very best actors and actresses of New York City. and there Is no question that Miss Rose Coghlans appearance in this city at tte Montgomery Theatre will prove the great society event of the pres ent season.
