CHURCH FOR BALLAST.
Whole Structure Brought over In Bark
Ancona.

A Filipino church, one Of those demol-
ished by Admiral Dewey when he cap
tured the city Of Manila, is now In Ia
coma. The church forms the ballast
Of thr British bark Aacona. Captain
Ferguson, which arrived in early Sun
day. The Ancona lay at Port Angeles
for nearly a week, during which time
rumors Of her ballast spread and she
was soon besieged by curio hunters,
who carried away sections of the Ma
nild church In gunnysacks. The Gus
toms collector at Port Angeles stopped
this. however, claiming that some OF
these curio hunters would manufacture
articles out Of :he old church. expose
them for sale, and then the government
would be after the collector.
The church was an adobe affair con-
structed Of clay, coral and other light
material. The church was put in the
Ancona as ballast at Manila months
ago and has served its purpose Well.
When Dewey attacked Manila the
chucch was partially demolished and 1t

ing against the United. States for $780,

Of it will soon be at the bottom Of
the bay. Rumor has It that some in
teresting relies and curios are to be
found ir tie several hundrd tons on
board tie Ancona. However that may
be, McCabe & Hamilton, who have the
contract 20 discharge and load the YES
sci, will probably dump all Of it into
the bay.

NEW CABINET OFFICERS.

Now that the presidential election has
been decided. the most important ques-
tion Is the selection Of trustworthy men
for the cabinet, and we hope the
changes made will prove beneficial tc
the country's interests. In private life
the people are also making many
changes. For instance, in regard to their
health. When their stomachs become
weak, their nerves unstrung, and dys-
pepsia. indigestion. nervousness and
sieepessness result they try this and
that medicine without getting relief
What they need is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the only sure cure for these
ailments. and after giving 1t fair
trial. they will be convinced that this
is the medicine they have been looking
for. If you are among these sufferers
and want to get well, try 1t at once.
