The Chief Need Of the Navy,

The annual report of Secretary
Moody which has been submitted to
Congress. this week. lays special en-
phasis upon the one great need Of the
toned several times in these columns.
Gradually Congress and the country
have been educated 70 the Importance
Of maintaining a navy somewhere near
adequate to our reeds and our re-
spoiisibilities. Congress has been in
duced by business-like and far-seeing
Republican administrations to appro-
Lriat- money for ev ships and to pro.
yide them with ':,- best arm plate
and the best guns in the world. VIC
arc All proud Of, Inc result: the rest
"f the world holds us in greater re-
srect and the navy Is our best surety
OF continued peace. But in one thing
Congress has been remiss. The grow
ing navy is sadly lacking In officers
and We are facing the prospect OF
having some of our best warships laid
up for want of sailors to man them
and officers to command them. 1t Is
easy enough to get sailors when addi-
tional numbers are authorized. The
great inland cities and the prairies
furnish them as well as the shipping
centers and the fishing villages Of our
coast. They are the best material in
the world. But the making Of officers
for our modern warships is not the task
Of day or year. Good education
and much technical training is re-
quireis and It Is not practical, nor pos
sible, for that matter, to promote many
from among the enlisted men. It ID
much different with the navy than TIE
army in this respect. ~ .. -
Our ships are now under of'icered
and with these Vacancies and new
ships that will be added during the
next four years. the Naval Academy
at Annapolis win be turning out only
one third the ofIicers that are wanted
The remedy Is plain and simple which
Secretary Moody points out. The num-
Der OF cadets at Annapolis must be
largely increased. Congress- must not
allow the navy to be crippled by the
lack OK oficers. The Naval academy
Ia an excellent school and it sends
forth the best type Of naval onicer. It's
graduates are eminently useful and
practical citizens. whether they remain
on the navy lists or seek other profess
s!ons. and there is no danger that there

ahoat- The fullest practicable increase
OF the number OF cadets viii not TO-

are needed for the new ships. Con-

my case hopeless Then, when
they acknowledged they had done all
they could, and could not take their
medicine nor could they prescribe any
thing else, the Rev. Ernest Graves.
pastor Of the, Baptist church here's
suggested the use Of Or. Williams Pinls
Pills for Pale People. My stomach re-
tanned the pills when the physicians

tress. AS near as my nurses could
judge immediate relief followed.
There is only this to add: my death
was hourly expected and upon taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills according To
directions left my bed in few weeks
and was on the way to recovery. !

IA BAPTIST MINISTER TESTIFIES.
The Rev. Ernest Graves. pastor of
the Baptist church, New StraitsviIle, to
whom Mr.. Collins, refers, speaks Of the
case as follows:
I'VE have a striking example Of what
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie nave done in this community at the
present time, a case that borders on the
miraculous. 1t is that Of David Col-
ling, a member of my church and a
very valuable helper in it. A few
months ago he was taken very sick and
was given up to die by six doctors.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured him and
so thoroughly that now this man who
the doctors said must die can be found
any day working in the coal-mine. I
count it great privilege to be able to
say advised. nay, rather l insisted
upon his taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
WHAT ANAEMIA IS.
Anaernia, literally. means ''bloodless"
and is actual deficiency of the blood
and a watery and depraved state of
that fluid. 1t is characterized by q.
pallid complexion, pale lips. dull eyes.
tongue and gums bloodless;. shortness
of breath on slight exertion-especially
upon gGing upstairs; palpitation of
the heart feeling of impending death;
weakness. loss of appetite and ambi-
ton. If left to itself it is apt to result
i'm decline and death. 81
The one remedy that has proved it
self a specific for this disease is DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
These Pills have never failed to effect
a cure if used persistently for reason
able length of time. sra5

When Andrew Carnegie offered the
government, and later put into the
hands Of trustees. slo.0oo.o 900 for the
Advancement Of learning In the unsted
states there was much speculation e.
to the use whieh wouads bssSe Ct
the money. Many had visions Of
great educational plant. with III duad-
|yangles and athletic Aeld. to b. sessao-s
|iished in washington. the long
dreamed OF national university" to he
4 rival of Harvard and Yale and the
other great universities But neither
Mr.. Carnegie nor the trustees had any
thing of the kind In mind. i was
quickly settled that there should BEND
great group Of buildings erected. nor
a college or university founded. like
those now existing. They selected the
name ..institution" ana asthat can be
applied to almost any educational
agency the general uncertainty which
has lowered about the use Of this great
fund has been increased.
This week the trustees, all eminent
and educated men. carefully chosen
met in Washington and from the plans
which they have made public 8 some
l.idea is gained Of what the Carnegie
institution will be. They announce
that it will undertake to promote orig
inal research by systematically sus-
tainirg projects OF broad scope that
may lead to the discovery and utiliza-
ton Of new forces for the benefit OF
man, pursuing each with the greatest
possible thcroughness: projects OF uni
yersai scope that fill in gaps of knowi-
edge of particular things or restricted
fields of research; the administration
of a DEPARTMENT of scientific research
! under a single director of cOmpeten,
methods; the appointment Of research
assistants: to increase the facilities fol
higher education by (a) original re.
search in universities and other institu-
lions Of learning; (b) by such means
as may be practicable and advisable.
This may not be as clear as It could
be made, but from it can be drawn the
conclusion that the trustees will use a,
least a part OF the fund to pay the liv-
Ing and working expenses. Of men and
women WHO are engaged in such WORK
or who would engage in it could they
afford 70 do. 1t may aid in scientific
expeditions and might even contribute
to q trip to the North Pole should the
trustees become convinced that human
knowledge or the human race would
be the gamer by it. Il will aid in
original research in well-established
| institutions, but will not purchase land
or erect buildings for them. NOR win i!
try 10 relieve them Of their financial
responsibilities. While the plans may
yet seem indefinite, yet there can be
TO doubt that the applications for as.
distance will lie very numerous. ard il
will be hard task to decide Just where
to draw the line. The trustees include
a number Of men of ability and learn
ing-men not likely to let any great
part of the sum go to waste.

whose Memory the Entire Nation

whose Memory the Entire Nation
ReVeres.
Nathaniel Greene, the fourth in de-
scent from one of the early English
settlers of New England. was born on
the 9th of May, 1742. in Warwick.
Rhode Island His family were very
respectable members of the Society Of
Friends. among whom his father was
a preacher.
In the peaceful principles Of that
sect, Nathaniel was instructed
His early years were passed in the
attainment of the mere rud!ments of
an English education, and succeeded
by variations of labor in the field. the
mill, or at the anvil, as his age and
strength increased. In his youth, he
excelled most of his companions in
strength and agility; and it is evident
from what has been written of him,
that he enjoyed, with great delight,
the amusements and pleasures of his
companions. At the age of IA. he be-
came acquainted with a lad from the
university of Rhode Island, who open
ed to his view new objects of atten-
ton. From that time, books were
eagerly sought for. and their contents
devoured in the intervals Of his work
The desire to obtain books stimulated
him TO extraordinary exertions at the
forge, where the work was so heavy,
as 10 produce a permanent lameness
in one of his feet; but his object could
be accomplished in no other way. Geo
graphy travels, and history, were his
