Admiral Togo is the man of the hour.
The intrepid commander of the Japan
csc navy is receiving the praise which he
merits. He has worsted the powerful
feet sent out to conquer him by the
Russian government. Togo has demon
strated his ability as sea fighter. He
is shrewd mariner. He Kept i'm touch
with the enemy's fleet from the day it
left the Baltic sea until it entered the
straits where the desperate encounter
of the heavy guns occurred. Togo led
his adversary on until he got him into
his home territory and there he pro-
ceeded to lombard him. The Russians
pinned their faith to the superiority of
the Baltic fleet and the naval experience
of its commander, Rojestvensky. The
result of the battle of Saturday should
be enough to crush the proud spirits of
the naughty and tyrannical Russians
who sought to wipe from the face of
the globe the little men of the orient.
But what of this naval nero, Togo.
He is not an old man. He was born

American squadron anchored in the BAY
of leddo and opened the eyes of Japan

Last January he paid brief visit
home, although he declined the offer of
a reception, which the municipality of
Toxic proposed in his honor, on the
ground that the time. was not yet ripe
for such demonstration. He took part
IN the service in memory of the off
GERS and men who had been killed at
Port Arthur, and on that occasion he
delivered a speech which deserves to be
quoted and requoted:
"As | stand before your spirits l can

sonality is fresh in my memory. Your
corporeal existence has ceased, but your

WIRELESS STATION AT PENSA
COLA WAS TESTED DURING
YESTERDAY.

A test of the wireless telegraph sta
ton at the Pensacola navy yard was
made yesterday, when communication
was established with the Key West

dred miles.
The local station has just been COM

about the first to be MADE. The local
station was in communication with
Key West for some time, and eX-
changed several messages in order to
ascertain if the instruments were in
good working order, and that commu-
nicat1on could be maintained for long
distances.

BROOKLYN WILL
BE HERE SUNDAY
CRUISER LEAVES NEW ORLEANS
THIS MORNING ATS O'CLOCK.
REPORT THAT TEXAS
HAS BEEN
SPOKEN.

The cruiser Brooklyn which has
been at New Orleans during the Mardi
Gras festivities, and which will be
the flagship of Rear Admiral Sigsbee,
in command of the Caribbean squad
ron, will leave New Orleans this morn
ing at a. m. for Pensacola. 1t will
take the Brooklyn a day to reach the
jetties owing to the necessity of going
down the river at slow speed, and
the big vessel will probably reach
Pensacola and anchor off the navy
yard before noon tomorrow morning.
A report was current late last night
that the battleship Texas, which was
detailed, about two weeks ago, to test
the wireless stations that have re-
Gently been erected along the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, mad been in commune
cation with the wireless station at
the navy yard late yesterday after
noon The report, however, could not
be verified. 1t is believed that the
Texas will reach this port considerab-
ly in advance of the feet and that she,
together with the Brooklyn, will re-
main until the record target practice
is completed.
The combined feet is scheduled to
reach Pensacola on or about March

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.

The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.
The origin of sewing cotton was told
at a cotton manufacturers meeting by
the bead of the great thread house Of
Paisley, Scotland. 1t was discovered
in 1903 by his grandfather, who had a
little business in Paisley, making silk
Irvine for heddles, which were used by
every weaver. The silk came from
Hamburg, and in 1903 Napoleon caused
the stock held there to be burned in or
der to hamper British trade. The weav-
ers were in despair, but James Clark
conceived the idea that cotton yarns
could be twisted together to form the
twines.
The experiment succeeded, and from
this grew the idea that cotton could be
substituted for fax in the manufacture
of sewing thread and would not be so
coarse and harsh. He began the manu-
facture of the thread in very small
way. 1t was at first put up in skeins
and had to be wound into little balls by
the purchaser, and then Mr.. Clark in
vented the modern spools. Hehad them
made by wood turner. half gross at
a time They cost him sixpence a doz-
en-. and he charged the purchaser Of the
thread a halfpenny for the spool,
which, however, was refunded when
the spool was returned. The ladies of
Paisley used to come TO his shop with
their spOols and wait while be wound
the thread on them. From this small
beginning grew a great industry.

MIDSHIPMAN ON
BROOKLY SHOT
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT WHILE
SEVERAL SAILORS WERE
ENGAGED AT TARGET
PRACTICE.

New Orleans, March lot develop
ed yesterday that Midshipman John
M. Poole. who was appointed from
Delaware, and who joined the cruiser
Brooklyn here last week, was acct
dentally shot aboard that vessel last
Tuesday morning while several sailors
were at target practice on the main
after deck. He was only Slightly
wounded, as the bullet from a %
calibre rife, which was used as a sub
calibeT, in place of the regular S-incL
gun, went through his ankle. He was
attended by the ships surgeon, and is
now confined to his stateroOm unabl5
to walk.
Poole was unaccustomed to the
Brooklyn's target practice routine, as
he only joined the ship several days
ago. The men at practice were firing
at a dummy target when Poole pass
ed in the rear of the target. He ut
tered a piercing cry and declared that
he had been shot. Several men went
to his assistance and ne was quickly
carried below decks.
Captain Hawley, of the Brooklyn,
attaches no significance to the acct.
dent, as it was entirely due to Poole
carelessness.
His escape is considered miracu-

TELLS SOMETHING ABOUT The
TREATMENT OF THE DISEASE.
DURING 1904 THERE WERE on
LY 145 CASES IN THE STATE.

In his annual report issued on tleI
9Th inst, State Health Officer Porter
has this to say concerning the treat
ment of dyphtheria.
Anti-diphtheria serum, when ad-
ministered sufficiently early in diph-
liberia, will prevent a fatal result; so,
too. will the remedy cause immunity
against an attack TO those exposed.
The concensus of opinion of physi-
clans is that the administration of
the antidote is a harmless procedure,
never causing evil results, and even
IN simple sore throat (follicular ton
silitis) is productive of speedy relief
and quick return to health. Il is not
understood therefore why any delay
should occur in prescribing the serum
when symptoms of a doubtful nature
present themselves, or why a wait"
should be advised or permitted until
the laboratory makes an examination
OF the specimens and the little patient
dies, while the profession is wranglingI
over the diagnosis. The expression
of surprise at any tagging in giving
the remedy its warrantable, when It
Is mentioned that well-regulated drug
stores everywhere in the state con-
stantly keep in stock the different
antitoxins, especially that of diph-
iberia, and that the state pays for
the serum on the attending physicians
certificate that the patient is INDECENT
or unable TO purchase such a costly
drug.
A Specific.
Diphtheria antitoxin is considered a
specific when early given in the dis
ease. and being ever on hand, easily
obtainable, even by the poor, and
harmless in effect it would seem to
be almost criminal neglect to omit It's

with pertinent reason, if these state
