The prairie stuck.

WILMINGTON. Del, Dec. 3The
United States cruiser Prairie with zoo
marines, 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton and quantity of field supplies
aboard, bound for Nicaragua, is still
hopelessly aground in the Delaware
river north of Fort Delaware where
she struck last night on her way
souh. High tide today failed to float
he. and here is practically no chance
of moving her until late this after
noon
With the assistance of tugs she
may then be pulled into deem water.
A heavy fog on the river has prac-
tically stopped navigation today and
may make the work of moving the
Prairie more difficult.
Carrying a rear admiral of the I'm
tied States navy, two battalions OF
marines and sufficient implements of
war to conduct a vigorous campaign
against the turbulent Centra, Amer
lean Republic of Nicaragua, if neces-
sary, the auxiliary cruiser Prairie
ran aground on the soft mud of the
Delaware river last night, few
hours after weighing anchor at the
Philadelphia navy yard. bound for
the Caribbean.
Tugs were hastily summoned from
this city and with their assistance il
is hoped to release the vessel SO that
it may be enabled to proceed.
1t is not believed the vessel sus
tanned any injury, but if necessary
the cargo can be transferred to the
cruiser Dixie, which lies in readiness
at the Philadelphia navy. yard. The
Prairie is aground about forty-fivt
miles below this city.
Reports that stern measures woult
be adopted against Nicaragua were
given added weight when Rear Admir-
al William Kimball reached here
from Washington and boarded tn,
Prairie as passenger, bound for tn,

marines under the command of Ma.

Our clothing merchants, Correll e.
Martin, have been displaying commend
able alertness and enterprise of late.
Have you visited their store since re-
modelled by the new landlord, W. J..
Penhallegon If not you should, as
there you can see one of the best
equipped stores of its kind in the state.
This has been brought about by the
putting in of eight clothing cabinets
each with a capacity for holding fifty
suits, and four hat cabinets so con-
structed that each will hold one hun
bred hats in a displayed manner. All
of these cabinets extend from the floor
to eight feet high and are provided
with full length glass door which when
opened can be pushed back and out Of
the way at the side Of the cabinet.
Racks, hangers and shelving within the
cabinets are so constructed with troll
legs that they can be readily drawn out
for close inspection of their contents.
In connection with this equipment is a
triple plate mirror room.
To see is to appreciate. There are
less than a half-dozen clothing stores
in the state supplied with anything
similar 10 this up-to-date outfit and
they are in towns several times larger
than Mineral Point.

entire community AS husband and
father he was faithful and indulgent,
doing his utmost at all times to make
the home the most pleasant on earth
for every member of the circle.

The affairs were deliberately decorated
with choice flowers and the singing by
the Sisters and their pupils was in ac-
cord with the soiemnity Of the services.
The congregation can justly pride itself
on the manner in which the festaI days
of the church are observed in this par
ish. It is a special aim Of all connected
with the work TO have the ceremonies
performed with all the sp,endor and
solemnity which the Catholic church
affords.

Patron Feast of St. Mary. Congregation.

Patron Feast of ST. Mary's Congregation.
The 9Th Of September marked day
of solemn rejoicing at ST. Mary's Cath
Ole church, it being the feast of the
Nativity Of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
under whose patronage St. Mary's con-
greRation is placed.
At the early Masses over $50 mem
bers received Holy Communion. Solemn
High Mass was celebrated at 10 o. clock.
The celebrant was Father A. Bierstner
Of Highland; Father John Field Of Fen
nimore acted as deacon Of the mass,
Father Eicher Of Seymour as subdea-
con, and Father Weyer, the pastor, as
master Of ceremonies.
The sermon by Father Field was one
which held the closest attention Of all
present. His text was the beautiful
salutation to the Virgin with which the
Church greets her on this day at the
offertory: Blessed art thou. o Virgin
Mary, who did'st bring forth Him who
made thee, and forever remainest &
virgin" Father Field spoke Of hen
great power and influence at the throne
Of her Divine Son, and admonished his
hearers to have recourse to her power

Will Away. Be Enemies.

From the Kansas City Star.
The Kansas editor who desires Cook and
Peary to take notice that Mrs. Bleakley
and Mrs. Barclay, the mothers" of the
incubator baby, have kissed and made up,
seems to lack an adequate comprehension
of the difference in the manner in which
men and women are put up The other
day when Mrs. Bleakley and Mrs. Barclay
rushed into each others arms In court
and began to weep, everybody said: "Just
like women"
And 1t was just like women Not that
women cannot hate each other good and
plenty" but they can't keep 1t up as men
keep up their feuds. Women will give
each other the Cut for years and talk
about each other, and glare at each other
when they meet like two hostile Tables
and then, some chance circumstance that
may happen to touch their emotions-or
some motive of expediency-will cause
them to rush to each others embrace, and
the quarrel Is off. 1t is not this way with
men. Men are not as spiteful as women
and they don't hate each other in the same
Industrious way. But they keep up LOT
better average than women and hold on,
against each other with determination
that women know nothing about.
Let no editor in Kansas-or anywhere
else-deceive himself with the expectation
that Cook and Peary will make it up
They will remain enemies as long as botf
of them do live" and generation after
both of them are dead the magazines will
be fighting about who was the first to dis
cover the north pole

TO LIVE FOREVER.

Thomas Edison has perfected stor-
age battery which he says will last
Indefinitely and revolutionize the pres
ent propelling power.
\ Prof. Munyon says it is only ques-
ton of time until remedy is discov-
cred that will supply the waste of tho
human body, SO that one may live on
almost indefinitely, barring accidents.
This seems almost too good to be true,
but nothing seems to be impossible in
| these days when we consider the fly
| ing machine and the wireless teler
! graph.
Prof. Munyon has certainly revolu.
tionized the practice Of medicine. He
does not believe in building hospitals
for consumptives He says that con-
sumption can always be traced to a
cold. Cure cold and you prevent
consumption. His Cold and Cough
Remedy will break up almost any form
/ Of cold in few hours and positive
| ly prevent Bronchitis and Pneumonia.
To convince the medical world and
people in general of the truth of his
claims he has distributed millions OF
walls Of the Cold Cure, absolutely free,
| from the leading newspaper offices
throughout the country, and the cures
that have been reported from it's use
have been most astonishing These lit
tie sugar pellets contain no opium,
morphine, cocaine or any harmful
drug. They seem to relieve the head,
throat and lungs almost Immediately.
In order that no one may be de-
| prived Of this remedy he has placed
1t with all the druggists throughout
the United States for the small sum of
Is cents. or sent postpaid on receipt
OF price, aris with each bottle he
gives this guarantees: "If Munyon's
Cold and Cough Cure does nc. do all
that is claimed for it. will refund
your money"
There are four advantages in taking
Munyon's Remedies. First they are
absolutely harmless Second, they are
pleasant to take. Third, they relieve
almost Immediately. Fourth, they cost
nothing unless they give satisfaction.
