ADMIRALTY SCORED.
Beresford Attacks British Naval
Administration,

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
London, June 2O.-During the discus
sion of the navy estimates in the house
of commons today. Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, Conservative, scath-
inGly criticized the deficiencies of the
navy. He declared the whole admiral
ty system was rotten and led to great
extravaganza and the general want of
efficiency Of the navy, on which de-
pended the existence or the empire
That was the judgment OF all the COM
missions of inquiry and had been
proven to be fact. Every increase in
the number of ships and every i'm
provement in them had been the re-
suit of outside agitation. AS the re-
suit of such agitation, the British
Mediterranean fleet was now a fourth
stronger than it was year ago.
1t was remarkable, Lord Beresford
added, that both army and navy Off
GERS were compelled to threaten to re-
sign in order to get things righted,
Great Britain had only 10000 naval re-
serves, instead of the requisite $4,000,

ment, both the United States and
France possessed superior guns. Blum
ders would continue until a separate
business board was appointed at the
admiralty and was made responsible
for the efficiency of the fleet. Treas
ury control was fatal to efficiency. AS
an instance, the speaker pointed out
the case of Sir William Vermont Har-
court. Liberal, who. when he was chan
cellor of the eNchequer, put his pen
through the appropriation for ammuni-
ton supplies after the guns had been
ordered.

A Chain OF EVENTS
HOW THE LIVES OF OTHERS
INFLUENCED MR.. HUB
BARD's FATE.
An Interesting Account Of the Man
ner in Which circumstances
Grouped Themselves in
His Favor.

Mr.. Hubbard was helpless from an
attack of paralysis and utterly dis
| couraged. He had been getting worse
| and worse, month by month. First 1t
| made him unable to work, then he
| could not walk, then he could not even
raise a hand to feed himself--he could
not move any part of his body except
his head. But. unknown to him. all the
| time of his affiiction, circumstances had
been arranging themselves for his re-
| covery.
| 1t all hinged on the moving of Mrs.
| Smith from New York to Sistersville, W.
| Va. She had been cured of paralysis
and 1t was through her suggestion that
Timothy Cushion, a neighbor in her
new home, was cured of a similar afflic-
tion. Then, upon his recommendation,
| Mr.. Slpher, fellow -workman who
was paralyzed, took the same course
| of treatment and 1t cured him.
'I heard of Siphers case,' said Mr..
Hubbard, who lives not far from Sis
! tersville, land my son took me over to
see him. 1t gave me new courage to
hear him tell how readily he found re-
lief, for l had given up hope of ever
being able to move again. i was per-
fectly helpless. When I was first taken
I was treated by three physicians, one
Of them a specialist, but l got worse
instead of better. I could both walk
and feed myself when l began DOCTOR
ing with them but finally could move
nothing except my head. The doctors
medicine caused my stomach to pain
me a great deal; it didn't help me a
bit and, as l said, I got discouraged.
"Then, after I saw Mr.. Sipher and
he told me that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People had accomplished such
wonderful cure in his case as well as
for Mr.. Cushion and Mrs. Smith, I de-
cided to take this remedy myself. In
about three weeks after beginning with
the pills I noticed a change for the
better. Now / can walk and get around
all right. Sipher and Cushion are able
to be out at their work as Oil-well drill
ers, and Mrs. Smith, l am told, is as
spry lady as there is in Sisterville."
Mr.. Henry j. Hubbard lives in Wit
tens, Ohio, and is willing to substanti-
ate his above statement. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy
which accomplished these marvellous
cures, are not like any other medicine.
They act not on the symptoms, but on
the causes of disease and have cured
not only partial paralysis, but are in
unfailing specific for all diseases aris-
ing from Impoverished blood or shat
tered nerves. They cure locomotor
ataxia, st. Vitus dance, sciatica. neu-
ralgia, nervous headache, after-effects
