Cruise and of His Sons Illness.


New York, May 22.-Admiral

naval career is closed forever. He is
soon TO be retired.
Tears blinded the admiraPs eyes
as he stepped ashorefrom the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, caused by his
sons serious illness in st. Luke hos
pital and the conviction that he had
made his last official cruise.
He had broken down in a speech
he delivered at the dinner given by
Capt Englebart of the Kaiser VIII

After remarking that it had been an
anxious tripfor him on account Ofthe

that this was his last trip at sea, in
view OF the approaching retirement.
Then the veteran broke down and
wept.
Many at the table, Americans and
Germans. wept in sympathy with the

mander Sears, Admiral Schley's flag
officer, with her little son, were on

Sears since she was a child. The |
greeting between her and the gray |
haired sea fighter was an afiectionate
one. The little woman threw her
arms about his neck, while the admi-
raj raised her from the floor and
kissed her again and again.
He hurried to ST. Luke's hospital
and spent two hours with his son,
DR.. Schley, who appeared to brighten
considerably during his visit.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me-" This
greatest of hymns was written in
1775 by the Rev. Augustus Toplady,
very learned English divine at the
early age of SO. This hymn has the
rare, wonderous spiritual ectasy he
revealed in his daily life In his last
illness he said: Il can not tell the
comforts that feel in my soul: they
are past expression 1t will not be
long before Good takes me; for no
mortal man can live after the glories
which God has manifested in nv
soul. The marble tablet over his
grave says: He wrote Rock of
Ages, Cleft for Me.
Mrs. Vanalstyne, better known as
Fanny Crosby, the blind poet, wrote
the hymn, Safe in the Arms of Jesus
for music in twenty minutes, but
into it was put the essence of her
whole life of faith. Miss Crosby after
days iostling through the city

FOR INTERSTATE ENCAMPMENT.
Plan 10 Have Missouri and Arkansas
Troops Together

Eureka Springs, No, May %
Prospects are very good for holding
an interstate encanpment OF the
National Guard of Missouri and Ar
kansas at Eureka Springs in August.
A party of military and railroad
officials have been quietly working
for some time on the proposition,
which grew out of an invitation from
Gov Davis Of Arkansas. to the Mis-
souri, National Guard extended
through Governor Dockery.
1t is urged by it's projectors that
the benefits and Importance of an
interstate meet would warrant the
Missourians in pitching their camp
outside the borders OF their state.
A part of the plan is to mobilize
the troops on the level crest of a
a short distance from
town and overlooking a splendid
stretch Of country, affording ample
scope for field maneuvering and
where the sanitary conditions would
be about perfect.
There the usual program Of instruc-
ton and competitive drills could be
carried out with a sham battle as a
final feature. The proximity of the
historic battle-ground of Pea Ridge
the appropriateness OF
that famous struggle.

Oil on the Streets.

Manager Spences Of the Jennings
Electric Light and Power Co., said
Tuesday that he would undertake the
task of sprinkling as many OF our
streets as the property owners desired
at n cost of not to exceed 1915 per block,
and that he would guarantee to keep
down the dust. The Texas crude oil is
being successfully used in many towns
as a means of keeping down the dust
and as a public disinfectant, because as
such it has no equal. In some places it
is being used as q di%sinfectant for out
houses. sewers and the like.
Mr.. Spencer says that the use of oil on
orr streets would make them almost
like macadamized streets, in addition to
the dustlaying qualities. He says that
the odor arising from the oil all disap-
pears after t~wenty-four hours, and that
the danger from fire has been greatly
exaggerated. The oil even in bitches
needs q very hot fire to ignite it,. When
used as q dust layer tho oil needs re-
pl%enishing in from one to three weeks,
depending upon the mount of travel
on tho street. At the price asked by
Mr.. Spencer the oil would cost about the
same as water.-Jennings Times.
