The hypothetical horse marine" has
at last become an actuality, and by a
fitting coincidence, at Mare Island. The
navy yard there was too large to be
properly guarded by foot patrol, so a
naval cavalry was organized for the
purpose. Unfortunately sea horses
Were not available for the mounts.

Flatulency.,-This almost universal
stomach disorder among people OF
sedentary habits can be overcome by
taking two or three grains of the sub
nitrate Of bismuth before each meal
and following thereafter with a five
grain tablet of peptenzyme. If this
does not work use the following tonic:
Sulphate of quinine twenty grains, aro-
matte sulphuric acid one dram, tine
ture Of nux vomica three drains, tine
ture of cardamon seed one-half ounce
in water sufficient to make four
ounces. The dose is a dessertspoonful
in water before meals and it is better
to begin the course after having taken
three compound cathartic pills at

The Art of Coughing.-Few people
know how to cough properly. In fact,
it never occurs to an ordinary indi-
vidual that there is a right way and a
wrong way. This is matter Of no
small Importance. If each sigh means
a drop of blood out Of the heart as
people say every cough means some
greater or less proportion Of time
knocked off ones life. Most people
cough as loudly and forcibly as they
can while some chronic coughers seem
proud of the terrible noise they make.
But it is rather a costly noise for the
simple reason that it tears and infames
the lungs which consist Of an extra
ordinarily delicate sponge-like tissue
that sometimes becomes infamed and
choked with phlegm. When we try
to rid this substance we cough, but
If it is removed violently the delicate
lung tissue is injured. Therefore try
to cough as gently as possible.

Sprains and Strains.-When a joint
is sprained it's ligaments are stretched
and torn and the muscles are bruised
and in many cases partially torn as
well. Blood is poured out from the
bruised tissues into the joint, which
rapidly becomes swollen, stiff and pain
full, more especially when any attempt
is made to move 1t. The treatment of
sprains is a matter of the greatest i'm
portance, as neglected sprain always
leads to imperfect recovery of the
joint, which Is quite likely to become
permanently stiff and immobile Eff
forts should be directed to reduce the
swelling and to prevent the joint from
becoming fixed. At first, to allay the
pain and swelling, hot lamentations
should be applied for some hours.
Then a large pad of cotton wool should
be fixed in position over the joint by
means of a bandage. Within forty
eight hours, or even less, gentle mas
sage should be commenced, the Joint
being carefully manipulated at the
same time. Douching with hot and
cold water alternately will be found
useful adjunct to treatment and later
friction with oil will add in restoration
Of movement.

MAKARoFF KNOWN IN U. s.
Frequently in Contact Wtsh American
 Officers at One Time.


 OHicers at One Time.
 Washington, April 13.-The news of the death of Vice-Admiral Makaroff caused profound sensation in naval and military circles here. He was prob ably better known than any other for eign naval officer. This was because of the fact that he had visited the United States in 1896-a7 and also com manded the Russian North Pacific squadron, which brought him into fre- .quent contact with American naval of ficers in those waters and sometimes into American ports on the west coast. When Vice-Admiral Makaroff visited the United States he went to Newport, where he met Admiral Taylor and Cap tain Converse at the war college and torpedo school. Captain Converse says that he showed the highest powers of observation and criticised intelligently the process of making smokeless pow der for the navy, which was then be- ing developed at the Newport naval station.s
 Count Cassini, the Russian an1bassa- dor, had not received word from his government advising him of the disas- ter when information was conveyed to him by a representative of the Associ- ated Press. He was distressed at the news, but made no statement beyond expressing his sorrow.

DEATH OF JOHN MACRILLE
EXPIRED SUDDENLY AFTER
 EATING SUPPER.

Was Auditor of Freight Receipts for
 Consolidated Ratlroad for nsany Years
 Past Grand Regent of Royal As-
 canum Lodge-Aiso, Supreme Presi-
 dent of Fraternal Benefit Lsague-A
 Leader tn 40. U. w. Assesamsnt War. The many friends of John Mackrille, of 4O9 Main street, West Haven, will be very much surprised to learn of his sudden death early last evening. Up to about half an hour before he died MT. Mackrille appeared to be in good health. He was in this city during the afternoon and returned to his home for supper. After eating the meal he con- plained of feeling ill and started to get Into bed. Before he could do this, how ever, he was taken with convulsions and died before Dr. Beven, who was summoned, could attend him. He was sixty years old at the time of his death. Medical Examiner Barnett is in Boston and Dr. Beven stated that he attribut- ed death to congested chills and pos X | sibly apoplexy.
 Mir. Mackrille was one of the best | known residents of West Haven, and was also extensively known about the state. He was born in England, was married there, and his four children were born in that country. He came to this city, and about twenty years ago became employed as clerk in the freight department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. He worked himself up from this position, 1 through personal ability, until he be- came auditor of freight receipts for the entire Consolidated railroad. This po- l sition he occupied for many years, re- 1 tiring from 1t about two years ago. After his retiriment he devoted his time in furthering the Fraternal Benefit
 League, of which he was, supreme pres I ident. He had been employed in the interest of the league ever since.
 l The deceased was a prominent mem
 Der of the A. 0. U. w. and was the l leader in opposition to the fight which
 was made to raise the assessments of
 the older members some time ago. Mir.
 Mackrille was also an officer in the | West Haven Royal Arcanum lodge and
 at one time was grand regent.
 l Mir. Mackrille had always taken an
 active part in politics, although he had
 always refused to hold any office He
 also belonged to a number of societies other than those mentioned. He is sur
 vived by a wife and four children, two
 sons and two daughters. Both the sons
 are married and reside in West Haven.
 His eldest son, Alfred, lives with his
 family at 480 Second avenue, and is a
 travelling auditor for the Consolidated railroad.
 l The funeral services will be held l from MT. Mackrille's late residence, 409
 Main street, on Saturday afternoon at
 2:30 o'clock.

Won Handily by the seniors im Fairly

 Cambridge, Mass, April 13.-The Har- yard interclass race was rowed over a II 7-S mile straightaway course on the Charles river this afternoon and was won handily by the seniors in F min utes, F seconds; the sophomores third, and the law school crew fourth, no time being taken for the latter two crews.
 Immediately after the interclass race, the interclub race, in which the Weld seniors, and Weld sophomores contest ed, was rowed over the same course. sophomores won by 23 seconds, their time being 18 minutes, 42A seconds. Owing to a high wind which blew down stream and again at the rowers, the water was very choppy and the time necessarily slow. All the compet- ing crews except the law school used Coach Colson's new stroke, with slow recovery, and it notable that the law scholl crew which has usually finished well toward the ront, was this year far in the rear.

 Great Britain Must be Ftrat If Any One.
 London, April 1S.-The house of com mons to-day by 27O to s1 votes adopted a resolution sanctioning the employ ment of Indian troops on the political mission to Thibet.'
 War Secretary Broderick in introduce ing the resolution read a telegram to the effect that Colonel Macdonald reached his goal, Gyangtse, Thibet, April Il. without the loss of man.
 MT. Broderick said that while the Thibetans were trying to circumscribe their relations with India, they were attempting to open up relations with Russia. The British government could not countenance an attempt on the part of any foreign government to establish predominant interest there.
 Great Britain, declared MT. Brod- erick, had no desire to occupy the coun- try or to establish permanent mission in Thibet, but the government was ab- solutely resolved that if any power is to be predominant in Thibet it must be Great Britain.
 Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman warmly criticized and condemned the mission and the slaughter" of the Thi- betans. declaring that Mr. Frederick s explanations of the reasons for the mission were wholly insufficient
 The debate ended with a short speech by Premier Balfour declaring the mis- sion had no ulterior objects. The last thing the government desired. he said was to add to it's Indian frontier re- responsibilities.

 Boston, April 1S.-The trial of the Boston Gas consolidation case, which has been pending in the Massachusetts Supreme court for the past six weeks. was closed to-day by Judge Barker, the presiding justice, after counsel had finished their arguments. The judge did not announce his decision and de- clared that he did not know when he would do so. T do not know when you will hear from me. he said to the lawyers, as the proceedings came to an end.
 The case has grown out of a petition brought by Receiver Geo. w. Pepper of the Bay State Gas company of Dela- ware that the sale of the stock of va rious Boston gas companies in connec- tion with a merger plan be declared void on the gronud that it was brought about as the result of "a collusive ar engagement between H.

Colchester, April ds.-ASheriff George o. Jackson and his staff of deputies went through another day to-day with out apprehending John Marx, the all legged murderer, and they announced to- night that they have no clue to his whereabouts. The manner in which Marx is keeping out of the clutches of the police Is surprising, and, with the view of stimulating still keener hunt State Attorney Lucus, of New London icounty, this afternoon called upon Governor Chamberlain in the hope that he would allow an offer of $500 to be made for the capture of Marx. The statutes allow the town to make an of fer of but $2oO which has already been made Governor Chamberlain will doubtless grant the request of State Attorney Lucus.
 It is expected that tomorrow the ef- forts of the sheriff and deputies will be devoted to hunt in nearby towns, as they have covered Colchester thor |oughly.
