week On Monday she had a stroke OF
paralysis of the heart and died shortly
thereafter. Mr.. Braswell, who travelled
for Heinz's Pickle Company, was in
Athens at the time and reached her
few hours after her death.
This is, indeed, a great bereavement
to Mr. Braswell and his children las we'll
as to our community. She was most
noble hearted, amiable and loveable
mother and wife. The family moved
to Marietta from Elberton, a couple of
years ago and have greatly endeared

evening for Elberton and conducted the
funeral services at the First Methodist
church in that city on Wednesday, af-

May the Good Spirit comfort and keep
them.

Admiral Cervera thanked him for his
courtesy, but declined the proffer, only
asking TO be allowed TO send a dispatch
to his government announcing the fate
of his squadron.
II told him there would be no objec-
ton to that whatever"
And" the Admiral said, closing his
rative, impressively, that ended
the battle of July 3, 1885"
Il wish to add" he continued, that
was very much impressed on that day
with the fact that the officers and the
men who were engaged in that strug-
gle fulfilled, in the very highest and
in the very noblest degree, the tradt-
lions of the American navy"
The admiral said he was unable to
recall a conversation with Capt Nc
Gala on July 5, when the latter had
said to Admiral Schley that there was
glory enough for ALL" Admiral Schley
said he had first seen this sentiment
as formulated accredited to Senator
Hale Senator Hale" he said, Eek
pressed my feelings at the time, and
that feeling l still hold. A controversy
was not thought of at that time
Mr.. Rayner reminded Admiral Schley
that he had stated that at the begin
ming of the battle the ships charged
in accordance to the original plan.
Now" he asked, with whom did that
plan originated"
SIMPSONS Order Failed.
THAT was the general order Of the
rommander-in-ch during the time of
the blockade, but that failed because
the enemy succeeded really in passing
the battle line" replied Admiral
Schley.
Admiral Schley was Intercepted by
u -. -
troversy He again denied the Hodgson
colloquy and could not recall CONVEX
Stations. to which Lieut.. Hood had tesu-
fed. The Admiral said he had given the
order stand by to ram" He
thought the engines were uncoupled
by standing order of the command
er-in-chief and he considered it a wise
plan. He had not been ordered to San
tiago before the dispatch of May 81,
which he did not get until June 10. He
did not think the enemy could have es-
capped through the blockading line at
either Cienfuegos or Santiago.
Sampson Not Desired.
Preceding the adjournment of the
court the question of calling Admiral
Sampson to the stand was revived by
Judge Advocate Lemly, who reminded
Mr.. Rayner that he (Mr. Rayner) had
suggested sometime ago that he de-
sired the admiral called. Capt Lemly
said he was prepared to issue the sum-
mons if called upon to do so. but Mr..
Rayner responded that the incident
which had seemed to demand the adj
miraPs attendance had dwindled into
comparative insignificance, and he add
ed that it was well understood the con-
dition of Admiral Simpsons health
was such that he could not be expected
to appear upon the witness stand.
AS Admiral Schley left the court
room to-day he was given quite an
ovation A large number of persons
had halted outside the court room door
and many insisted upon shaking hands
with him. The assemblage escorted
him up the hill from the gunners
workshop in which the court sits to
the outer gates of the navy yard.

Mark Twain Gives Advice to Those
Wishing to Procure Charity.
Mark Twain had wisdom on occasion,
as well as wit. He declares that when
man makes an\appeal for charity it
- a great mistake to get everybody
ready to give money and then not pass
the hat. Some years ago, in Hart
ford" he said the other day, 1--WE all
went to church on hot, sweltering
night, to hear the annual report of Mr..
Hawley, city missionary, who went
around finding the people who needed
help and didn't want to ask for it. He
told of the life in the cellars, where
poverty resided; he gave instances Of
heroism and devotion to the poor. The
poor are always good to each other.
When a man with millions gives we
make much Of noise. It's noise in the
wrong place. For it's the Widows
mite that counts. Well, Mr.. Hawley
worked me up to great state. I
couldn't wait for him to get through
had $500 in my pocket. wanted to
give him that and borrow more to give.
You could see greenbacks in every eye.
But he didn't pass the plate, and 1t
grew hotter and we grew sleeper. My
enthusiasm went down-$100 at time
until finally, when the plate came
round stole 10 cents out Of it. So you
see, neglect like this may lead to
crime. "-Chicago Times-Herald.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

A Veteran of the Civil War Tells an
Interesting Story.

Uriah S. Andrick is now 81 years Of
age. Mr.. Andrick served through the
whole Of the Civil War. He was wound
ed three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service Of his
country, in 1861, he was hale and
hearty. and weighed 1913 pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr.. And
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years he never lay down
In bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble. which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart, also.
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds. being but

menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on

LAG pounds. He says:

received no benefit, until on the 18th Of
December last, purchased one box of

Eighty Bodies Taken From the

Frankfort the Main, April %. -
Eighty bodies have been recovered
from the ruins of the Greisheim cleo
tro-chernical works. It is believed that
there are more bodies in the ruins. 1t
is estimated that in addition to the
killed $50 persons were injured. Many
others are missing. A number of chill
dren who were hurled by the explosion
into the River Main were drowned be-
fore rescuers could reach them. Sew
eral firemen are among the victims.
The signal was given at 1890 yester-
day morning to all the inhabitants Of
Greisheim and vicinity that they must
leave Immediately, as an explosion of
a great benzine reservoir was expected.
Even the firemen, salvagers and SOL
diers left, but the explosion did not oc-
cur. Several women and children were
trampled to death during the panic
stricken flight.

Washington, April 28.-As a result Of
the visit Of the Cuban commissioners
1t is evident that these gentlemen will
return to Havana with clearer un-
derstanding of the relations this gov
eminent would maintain toward Cuba.
They have found the president, MEM
bers Of his cabinet, senators and repre-.
sentatives all earnestly in favor Of do
ing everything possible to give Cuba
the largest measure Of independence
not dangerous to the welfare of this
country. 1t has been explained to
them that the Plat amendment was
adopted to insure Cuba independence
in the conduct of her own affairs and
to guarantee that independence by the
power Of the American army and navy.
The Cubans already understand this,
but they have depended upon the en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine to
Guarantee Their independence
from the interference of foreign powers
without assuming any obligations Of
their own to this government. With
out exception the Cuban commission
acknowledges the supremacy Of the
United States in all matters affecting
the American continent. DR.. Tamayo,
secretary Of state for Gen. Woods
Cuban cabinet, gave out the following
statement:
There is no doubt that we will pre-
sent a favorable report to the conven-
ton. We have made little progress so
far in discussing the economical prob
lens, but under no circumstances will
there be any conflict between us and
the United States government. What
we are now chiefly interested in is the
economic aspect Of relations. Our
products of sugar and tobacco must
Find Their Chief Market
In this country. If we receive special
tariff advantages it will mean more to
Cuba than all other concessions. In
deed, our principal object in coming
here is to ascertain what this govern
ment will do in the way of tariff in
ducements. We have some differences
Of opinion among ourselves as to the
eventual course, but there is little
doubt that the president is seeking to
establish relations which will be mu-
tually beneficial"
Although practically agreed to rec
ommend the ratification of the Platt
amendment, the Cuban commission
accepts this alternative not without re-
serve, but as inevitable. Secretary
Root conferred with the Cubans at
length yesterday. He had them, as on
noon, and then presided at a meeting
at the war department, at which Gen.
| Wood was also present.
