1 . . "" THANKS FOR DELIVERANCE. _ • Admiral Carrara and Ufa Odeatt Attend .-An omOne. Annapolis, Md.^ uly 115 —Mary land** Ancient capital was crowded yesterday with cariosity seekers, who dame from Baltimore, Washington and elsewhere by rail and by water, in the hope of getting a peep at Admiral Cervera and the officers who fought and lost in the great naval fight off Santiago. Those who reached here early in the morning were rewarded for their trouble, as nearly all the prisoners, including the admiral, attended divine services at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic eh arch, where they offered up thanks for their deliverance from the fate that overtook so many of their less fortunate comrades who fell before the relentless fire of the American guns ou July 3. The Only Catholic Church In AnnnpuHs. The church, which is the only one of the Roman Catholic denomination in Annapolis, is one of the landmarks of the city and embraces in its membership some of the most prominent and aristocratic of Annapolis' people. It Is conducted by the Redemptorist Brothers, is a handsome structure and is thought to possess one of the kandnomest interiors of -any religious edifice in the state. < The Services Largely Attended. The morning’s services were conducted by Brother John, one of the most prominent of the Order of Redemptorists, in the presence of a congregation which taxed the capacity of the edifice to its utmost. Probably no service held within its walls for many years possessed so great an interest or made a more profouud impression upon those who attended it. Spent the Day lu Persona! Enjoyment. At the close of the services the officers returned to the naval academy and spent the balance of the day io strolling about the grounds, or lounging ou the broad piazzas which surround most of the buildings in which the prisoners are quartered^ They arc rapidly becoming accustomed to their surroundings and seem cheerful aud contented. f Ample provision lias been made fot their comfort, their food is plentiful and of the best quality, and clothes will be provided for suen as will accept. Capt. KuUtc Kefnaei n Enrols. Capt. Kulate of the Vizcaya is the only one of the officers who has thus far refused to sigu the parole pledge. His reasou for it is that Admiral Cervera was only required to give a verbal promise, and that his (Kulate's) rank entitles Kim to the same privilege. The authorities here have no doubl that the matter will be amicably arranged, and that the scruples of the gallant officer may be overcome.

GEN. CHAMBERS M’KIBBIN. The Temporary Military (iutrrnor of 8m* th|o--HU(ir»duiil KUr In Hie ( ln»rn rrutmion* Washington. July 18.—lien. Cham bers McKibbin, who has been up* pointed temporary military governor of Santiago, is a member of an old and well-known Pennsylvania family, lie was born in Chambersburg, not far from the famous Gettysburg battlefield. Early in the civil war he enlisted as a private “in the regular army, and almost immediately afterward was appointed a second lieutenant in the Fourteenth infantry. His first promotion was given him on June 10, 1864, when he was made a first lieutenant. On August 18 of the same year he was given a brevet commission as captain for gallant services in the battle of North Anna river, Va , and during the operations on the Weldon railroad. At the conclusion of the war McKibbin chose to remain in the army, and on the 5th of January, 1867, he was promoted to be a captain in the Thirtyfifth infantry, and on May 1. 1806. was made lieutenant-colonel of the Twentyfirst infantry. It was as lieutenant colonel of the -Twenty-first that he went to Cuba. During the battle of Santiago his services were of so distinguished a character as to win for him special mention in Gen'. Shatter's o flic ialjar ports. lie was among the ©ftieerap^wwumended for promotion, and iv®|: _ St week named by-the president AS*Pl>rigadier general of volunteers. That the administration and Gen. Miles and Gen. Shafter impose great confidence in him . is indicated by his appointment as temporary military governor of the city. Capt William McKittriek, who had the honor to raise the Stars wad Stripes over the palace in Santiago, is an aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Shatter. On the 12th of May fie was appointed by the president to be an assistant adjutant general, with the rank of captain, and was assigned! soon afterwards to the Fifth army eorpa, aow under Shafter's command in Cuba. He la a resident of California.

NEED CONSTANT CARE. <> _ ■tone Road* Require Attention At All tcuoai ot the Year to Prevent DUintearrntton. A subject of importance which hat ' not yet received the attention it requires is brought to the fore by astatement recently made to the effect that i “the smooth surface of the New Jersey stone roads so nQRch admired by bicycle riders, is rapidly disappearing, owing to the infrequency of rains in summer, the prevalence of sweeping | winds, and the absence of trees and hedges from the roadside. The disintegration of the New Jersey stone roads, especially of those over which a constant stream of heavy wagons roll into the city markets, must sooner or later raise the question of the expediency of giving a part of the annual state appropriation to the repair of ] the roads on the same plan of division ] | of cost upon which new roads are j | built.” Up to the present time so much attention has been given to efforts to secure hard roads, and considerations j of ho'w they should be laid, that their maintenance when put down has largely been lost sight of. Many, indeed, I 1 have supposed, and some have asserted, that when once laid it should not be I necessary to touch them for years. | Such ideas are radically wrong, and. ! if acted upon, lead to disastrous reI suits. As a matter of fact, macadam roads 1 require constant attention and care ! if they are to be kept in good condition, the greatest efficiency secured from them, and economy of inaintennnee maintained. All. these things ! will vary largely with the character I and quality of the roads, some reqtiir- | ing attention much more quickly and | far more constantly than others, but | the principle of maintenance is the | same for all, v All stone roads are liable to “disin- ! tegration” under certain conditions, j and will speedily be ruined if the ten- ! dency is not checked at the outset or. j better still, warded off. so to speak, by constant^care and attention. The j smooth surface disappears, ruts form, ! water settles in them, and the road ! gradually breaks up.

The trouble with many of the New Jersey roads is not due particularly to the winds or “absence of trees and hedges from the roadside.” but it is due to four principal causes, one of which is the “infrequency of rains in summer.” and the others are the excessive use of clay for -‘binding” purposes in constructing the roads, insufficient rolling, and failure to adopt an adequate system of care and maintenance after they are constructed. We have repeatedly pointed out the feature? necessary to obtain and maintain good macadam roads, and no community which builds them can afford to overlook them, viz.: thorough drainages abundant rolliner of each layer of ■tone ns laid: tittle or no clay for “binding” purposes; and a complete system of care and repair, which involves the constant employment of a suitably force of men to keep roads clean# fil! up the smallest ruts as they appear, and regular sprinkling In drj weather.—Good Roads. AN INFALLIBLE TEST. What the Bicycle Hm Doar to In. lire** the Neee**lty of Good Hondo on the Babllc Mind. The readiness of wheelmen to find fault with the condition of most high- ! ways has. at times, aroused mucft un- ; favorablt comment, particularly in ! the eirlier days of good roads agitaI tion. when the subject was far less perfectly understood than at present. The public-spirited crusade which they inaugurated was ascribed wholly to ulterior motives, and it was not until they began to demonstrate its univer- ; sally-beneficent effects that the posi- ' tion of the cyclist began to be all appreciated.

For generations, those who used the highways had been satisfied to plod along as best they might, behind steeds that could to ice no intelligible complaint. traveling as little as possible in the bad seasons and never considering the many ways in which they would be advantaged if firm roadways in every direction emancipated them from the reign of King Mud. But the bicycle opened fresh vistas and started new lines of thought. The patient beast no longer trudged along through mud—over rocks, nits and stumps, up-hill and down—while the driver indolently bounced along in the vehicle behind him. On the wheel, the rider, driver and motor are one. and immediately awakens to a keen and realizing sense of the road beneath him. Every change in grade is registered by human nerves; every depression, rock, or stretch of sand causes a shock to a human backbone, and calls for greater energy. With bad conditions a severe strain Is put upon the attention, pleasure is destroyed and wearisome labor takes its place. The bicycle showed conclusively that reads were wrong, and it largely indicated the extent of their imperfection. It thereby set in motion the forces that have in ten years accomplished much and are working toward the accomplishment of much more undar the power of *he inevitable logic of events. —Good Roads. Nearly all of the rusts, mildew, smuts and rots that injure our crops are of a fungoid growth.

EXTRACTING THE YOUNG IDEA. The Infant Mind la One of the Profonncl Mjretertea of Mature— Soaae Instance*. Two events of one day convinced a young lady of Piety Hill that the infant niind is one of the most profound mysteries of nature. It was her first effort with r class of little Sunday school children, and after talking with them in her most impressive way for half an hemr she asked her precious charges what they thought of their lessons. One little girl with golden hair and great blue eyes such as artists love to reproduce in themes divine indicated a desire to speak. “What is it, my dear?” “Hiss Earnest, if you lived to be a hun'red years old you'll never have a prettier hat than the one what you got on now.” The second developed later in the daj. She told the little ones that they must not let the weeds grow up in their hearts, for they were the weeds of sin and worse than death. One fat cherub who had never known what itwas to be sick set up a howl as soon as he reached home. Being short on a knowledge of anatomy he sat holding his digestive apparatus and declaring that the weeds growing in his heart were “a most killin’ ” him. Ignorant of the cause of alarm, the terrified parents kept the telephone wires hot till they secured the presence of three doctors who were quickly followed by others who had not been . in when called. While the others were gravely consulting. one shrewd practitioner extracted the story of the Sunday school lesson and administered a dose of sugar and water. Ten minutes later the little fellow was telling how near he came to dying, while he was eating enough for a harvest hand.—Detroit Tree Press.

Paris ExitoiHlom. Paris’ 1900 exhibition will be the sixteenth held in the city. The site of the first, in 1798, was the Champ de Mars, where 110 exhibitors showed their wares in wooden booths and 25 medals were awarded. Three successively large exhibitions followed in the Louvre in 1801, 1S02 and 1809. Under the restoration there were exhibitions in 1819, 1822 and 1827, also in the Louvre. They became more popular under Louis. Philippe, the number of exhibitors making it necessary to use first the Place du Carrousel, and in 1839 and 1844 the Champs Elvsees. The 1849 exhibition in the Champs Elvsees required 2.200 square meters of space and cost $120,000. The first international exhibition, in 1855, brought about the construction of the Palais de l’lndustrie, that has just been torn down, which was used for the 1867 exhibition. The 1878 exhibition, with 52.835 exhibitors and 1G.000.000 visitors, and that of 1S89, with 55,486 exhibitors and 32,500.000 visitors, were held on the Champs de Mars —N. Y. Sun. To Wash Slllc Stocking:*. Silk stockings should be washed and rinsed only in lukewarm w ater. Wring the stockings out between towels and press under muslin. Silk underwear is best washed by soaking for 15 minutes in lukewarm suds into which a little ammonia water has been put. Never put any soap directly on the garment, and it should never be rubbed, merely squeezed gently through the fingers and rinsed through one or two waters, all lukewarm. In the last water put a very little bluing solution and a teaspoonful of liquid gum arabic. Shake well and hang to dry in as smooth condition as possible, pressing lightly under a towel while still slightly wet.—Housewife. Beyond Hla Reach. The count became passionate in his pleading. “Be mine!” he cried. “I have titles and landed estates! .1 will give you a position in the society in which loyalty moves! Say that I may hope for you!” She sighed, blushed and shook her head. “You got into the market too late, count,” she said in a business-like way. “It has already been cornered.” The next day her engagement to a young man on the board of trade was announced.—Chicago Post.

THE DIGNIFIED WOMAN. Uk6 Was a Little Severe oa the Cart- ( \ ou W oman, Bat She Vu \ Provoked. She is a dignified woman, and sometimes she is overpowering. The unwary do not perceive this quickly, however. The dignified woman has been spending some time in one of the hospitals of this city. She went there for rest and quiet. Since she has recovered her health she tells somt amusing stories of her experiences. Here is one: w- ■, - The dignified woman was walking down the hall one day when she was accosted by the curious woman. The curious woman had been wondering about the dignified woman, and she said: “I beg your pardon, madam, but I would like to know what you have been operated on for?” “What?” exclaimed the dignified woman. “Well, explained the curious woman, “my friend in the next room and I have been wondering about you. You walk about the hall with such a light and springy step that we wonder about what kind of an operation you have undergone.” The curious woman held her ground. She was determined to know what was the matter with the dignified woman. The dignified woman replied: T have not been operated upon yet.” “Oh!” said the curious woman, sympathetically. “No, I am not familiar with operations,” said the dignified woman. The curious woman interrupted: “They are very successful here. Don’t be worried.” “I am wondering about an operation On the brain,” said the dignified woman, in a very dignified and distant manner. “I wonder if they could operate upon the brain in such a way as to eqabie people to attend to their own affairs.” The curious woman snorted and walked away in high dudgeon. The dignified woman was severe, it is true, but she was provoked to it.—St. Louis Republic. _

STONE IN HER STOMACH. — From the Gazette, Blandinsville, 111. The wife of the Rev. A. R. Adams, pastor | of the Bedford Christian Church at Blanj iinsville, III., was for years compelled to live t life of torture from disease. Her case baffled the physicians, but to-day she is alive and well, and tells the story of her recovery as follows: “About six years ago,” said Mrs. Adams, “I weighed about 140 pouuds, but my health began to fail and I lost flesh. My food did not agree with me and felt like a stone in ray stomach. I began to bloat all over until I thought I had drOpsy. “I had pains and soreness in my left side which extended clear across my back and also into the region of my heart. During these spells a hard ridge would appear in the left 6ide of my stomach and around the left side. “These attacks left me sore and exhausted. All last summer I was so nervous that the children laughing and playing nearly drove me wild. I suffered also from female troubles and doctored with ten different Dhvsicians without receiving any help.

“My hosband having read in the newspaper of Dr. Wiliams’ Pink Pills for } Pale People, induced me to try them. I began taking them last h November, but experienced no relief until I bad taken six boxes. I

un now taking tne eleventn box and nave been greatly benefited. “I was also troubled with nervous prostration and numbness of my right arm and hand so that at times I could hardly endure the pain, but that has all passed away. I now have a good appetite and am able to do my own work. Have done more this summer than in the past four years put together. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills' for Pale People cured me and I think it my duty to let other sufferers know it.” Hundreds of equally remarkable cases have been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

Ailments of this kind, no matter in what part of the globe they occur, are quickly cured with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Besides being a specific for malarial troubles, these Bitters also make pure blood, strong nerves and muscles, and firm, healthy flesh.
