GENERAL SICKLES IN HISTORY
His Notable Career In War and In
Diplomatic Service.

The late General Daniel E. Sickles
was the last of that galaxy of corps
commanders who made possible the
achievement of Grant and brought the
civil war to a triumphant close. Fight
er, lawyer. politician and diplomat, his
life was a crowded one.
At Charlottesville. commanding the
Third army corps. he was highly COM
mended for gallant conduct, and his
courage and activity at Gettysburg are
matters of history. All authorities ac-
cord him a very important part in that
battle. some contending that his was
the master stroke that saved the day.
1t was at Gettysburg that he lost leg.
In March. 1865. he was brevetted a
major general of the regular army for
bravery and meritorious service at
Gettysburg He was mustered out of
the service Jan. l. 1865, and was plac-
ed ON the retired list with the full rank
of major general April IA, 1869.
In the spring of 1869 President
Grant appointed him United States
minister TO Spain. post which he re
tanned until March 20. 1874.
At the court of Spain Sickles became
dominating figure. Four years of
brilliant diplomacy brought him the
title. The Yankee King of Spain"
While in Madrid he married the
present Mrs. Sickles. who was Senior
ita Carmina Creagh. daughter of
Spanish councillor of state. He was
eStranged from her for twenty
years until his last illness.
In 1859 General Sickles shot dead in
Washington Philip Barton Key. son
of the author of The Star Spangled
Banner" The trouble was over the
first Mrs. Sicllles. She had been Ter
esa Bagili. beautiful daughter of an
Italian music teacher. His trial.
which lasted twenty days. ended in
acuuittal. the defense being temporary
alteration of mind This was the
drst case in which that plea was set
III as defense. After his acquittal
Sickles took his wife back.

DUP BIG FINANCIAL
ADVANTAGE OVER MEXICO,
Large Amounts Available For Provid.
ing the Sinews of War.

Nowhere is the contrast between the
comparative ability Of this country and
Mexico 10 go TO war more striking than
in the condition of their finances, says
| the New York Times. The Huerta
government has about exhausted every
possibility for raising any considerable
sum of money. With the country
devastated by internal struggles. the
national railways operating only about
/ half OF It's mileage and unable to pay
I interest coupons in cash. though guar
anteed by the government; with Gus
toms pledged for bond issues the pro-
ceeds of which were long since ex-
hausted. it is extremely unlikely that
Mexico could finance anything but
guerrilla operations.
The United States. on the other hand.
could raise funds for an extensive
campaign and could afford to spend
Whatever sums were required to put a
fully equipped and largely augmented
army into the field for long stay. The
| Spanish war showed with what facili-
ty the machinery of this government
can be set to work to increase the rev.
enue and to provide for big loans.
The war revenue act enacted in 1898
10 help defray the cost of the war with
Spain brought in a total of S3s0.000,O00
in the four years that it was in opera
ton That avenue is of course open to
congress now. By means of changes in
the income tax it would be possible TO
raise almost any sum likely TO De de-
cided upon. Neither of these measures
would add to the country's indebted
ness and could be repealed when the
war bills were paid. In addition to
these sources. the government has now
the right to offer $40, 100000 of Pana-
ma bonds and $2O0,O00,0O0 of certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness. The present
small working balance of the treasury
imposes no limits on the governments
ability to finance extraordinary war
costs.
The net balance in the general fund
of the treasury is now. r0undly, $685.
100000. OF this sum about S52,000,0O0
is in national bank depositaries, leaving
a net balance in cash in treasury vaults
of S31 100000. But included in treas
ury cash assets are approximately s26:-
100000 subsidiary silver coin, fraction
al currency. minor coin and silver bull
lion Strictly speaking, this sum must
be regarded as unavailable for purposes
of settlement The free and available
cash at the moment is therefore, round
ly. 100000.
Another way of increasing revenues
for war purposes might be found in
connection with the income tax. either
In the direction of imposing greater
burdens on those who are now paying
the tax or by fixing the amount of in
come exempt from taxation at lower
figure than the $1,000 or $4,000 limit
which now prevails.

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF DANDRUFF
End Itching Scalp and Stop Falling
Hair-At Once.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces Of plain, oroi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to noisten
the scalp and rub It in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy, evsry
single sign and trace of it no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop IL
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrolls, glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
II you want TO keep your hair look
ing rich. do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair
SO quickly. 1t not only starves the
hair and makes 1t fall out. but II
makes it stringy, straggly, dull. dry,
BRITT. and lifeless, and everybody
notices 1t. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It is inexpensive,
and four ounces Is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.
