progress until the rack brought up
against stump. One rope broke under
the strain, but the other held, and the
rack was broken and one end reached
our line of works, leaving a gap which
we took advantage of later, when Lieut..
John A. Whitsit, with about 40 of COM
pany l, Twenty-siXth Indiana veteran
volunteer infantry, made his entry
through the embrasure where Whiting
Dick had been dismounted by fine shot
from the battery of big guns taken from
the ironclad Milwaukee that was blown
up by torpedo in Mobile bay. The shot
was fired by Steve Phillips, of the Mil
waukee. When we jumped into the
rebel rife pits we found them we'll
manned, but with men willing to quit.
Inside the fort all was turmoil and con-
fusion. Three steamers were at the
wharf and everybody trying to get
aboard. That was miX-up, but there
was no fighting and as We Yankees were
more intent on sampling the good things

Gated quarters than in taking prisoners,

to Mobile.
"As we moved to invest the fort the
Twenty-siXth Indiana was on the left
center, and we moved up to within 600
yards of the field works of the fort and
bivouacked the first night in gullies and
small hills which abounded in that local
ity. Company l was in very exposed
position, as we soon discovered when
one of the boys built fire on a pine
stump to cook coffee. Hardly was the
fire lighted when a stream of bullets
came our way, one of which hit the
coffee pot so hard that it was out for all
time. We had but one tent up, and it
was in line of the fire, and was per-
forated with mimic balls, as was Charlie
Wilson, who was lying on the ground
with his head inside the tent, looking on
at gam of poker which was going on
there. Charlie picked up the bullet in
his leg and said things. The tent came
down at once and was moved around
behind hill and the card players never

MODERN NAVIES.
What Lord Selbourne, of the British
Admiralty, Says of the United
States Navy.

Lord Selbourne, first lord of the Brit
ish admiralty-a position in England
similar to that held here by our secretary
memorandum concerning the British
fleet, in which occurs the following:
"The United States is forming a navy,
the power and size of which will be
limited only by the amount of money the
American people choose to spend ON it.
In the eastern hemisphere smaller.
but modern navy, that of Japan, has
been put to the test of war and not
found wanting. The Russian navy has
been greatly increased, and, with the
exception of the Black sea fleet, has been
wholly transferred, or is in course Of
being transferred, to the Pacific. The
navies. of Italy and Austria have main
tanned their positions In the Mediterran-
can, but the expenditure thereon has not
been increased, as in the case of other
powers. The French navy stands, as
always, in the forefront, and a new
German navy has come into existence.
1t is navy of the most efficient type,
and so fortunately circumstanced that it
is able to concentrate almost the whole
of its fleet at home ports"
OF the British fleet, Lord Selbourne
remarks that all the old battleships
have been replaced by modern ships, but
still more significant, Great Britain will
have within this year 26 modern cruis-
ers, built within four years, of great
speed with armaments as powerful as
those of battleships, and altogether a
great advance on anything which has
preceded them.
These 26 cruisers Lord Selbourne
speaks of vary in size from 10000 tons
to 14,G00 tons. Their armament also
varies. Some of them mount 9.2-inch
and 7.5-inch guns, and others 9.2-inch
and 6-inch guns. The speed varies
from Fl to 23 knots, the thick armor from
8 to inches, and the normal coal
capacity from 500 to / 200 tons.
The United States has eight large
cruisers of the type of the above-not
one of them in service-armed with
eight-inch and six-inch guns; in other
respects not dissimiar to the largest
of the British ships.

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of a cane or q
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, what is the best
thing for rheumatism
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste of
time. The seat of the disease is In the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing afaiction is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried a number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper aud the pain only a surface in
dication. He adds:
L had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale Peopic recommended as cure
for rheumatism. and wisan found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
made up my mind that I would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
Utmost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purl1-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

1T WAS A HOT TIME.
Adventures of Soldiers in the Union
Army Before the Fort at
Mobile Bay.

"The stories of zigzags mines and
other things at Port Arthur" said Dan
R. Anderson, remind me of incidents
preceding the fall of Spanish fort, Mo
bile bay, in April, 1865. There we en-
countered mines and all sorts of cum
ningly devised distractions. Brush
with ends sharpened was piled in three
lines sharp ends out. There were inter-
walls every few yards paved with tor
pedoes and percussion shells warranted
to explode under pressure.
Then there was a -frise-
something in the shape of a sheep rack
coupled together with swivels, and all
the points of the rack sharpened, max
ing it a very trying thing to get over.
Volunteers from the Twenty-siXth In
diana veteran volunteers were called
to go out and fasten rope to the cheval-
de-frise and 'hoss' her in. Lieut.. John
A. Whitsil, Sergts. James Greer, w. E.
Craig and Private Daniel P. Anderson,
all of company l, Twenty-sixth Indiana
veteran volunteer infantry, crawled to
the rack and succeeded in fastening a
couple of ropes to the shaft of the rack,
and it was accomplished, too. notwith-
standing rebel sentinels were lying
in rifle pits every few yards close up
behind the rack. 1t was managed so
quietly that the rebs found us out only
when the movement of the rack began.
The venturesome crew returned to
our zigzag sap highly elated and began
pulling on the lines, making satisfactory

FIRST USE OF HOLSTERS"
The English Soldiers Were So Called
Because of Their Red
Coats.

The word lobster" as a slang term
of ridicule and opprobrium is general
ly regarded of recent origin. On the
contrary, says the Philadelphia Press.
it woulG seem to go back at least to
the seventeenth century. In John
Baldwin Buckstone's play, "The Green
Bushes" produced in London about
70 years ago, the scenes are laid at the
time of the Irish rebellion of 1898.
One of the characters mentions the
English soldiers de"isively as lob
sters," referring, no doubt, to the uni
forms of the "redcoats." Eden Phil
potts, in his novel. The Farm OF the
Dagger" published last year, makes
an American prisoner of the war of
1872 speak of the British soldiers as
"lobsters." A fanciful etymologist
might easily find connection between
the present-day slang use of lobster"
and the sixteenth century WORD lob, 4"
denoting a sluggish and stupid person,
which occurs in Shakespeare and con-
temporary plays and poems, usually
as a synonym for "lubber." But the
earliest known instance of the derisive
use of the slang term Is the coupling
of Holsters and tatterdemalions, :"
