As the vote of thanks is offered in congress today every American citizen from the Piscataqua river to I'uget sound shouts "aye!" If the modern Hampson should not chance to go against one of those Delilah hair-cuts before reaching the Spanish Armada, he will doubtless come off victor. The temptation of punstors to play uron an easy word ad infinitum has proved irrexistible in the case of the new naval hero's name, until the 'I)ewey" jokes have lost their fresh ness. A revolutionary spirit Frrms to pervade Europe. It struck Italy hard Saturday. A great mob terrorized Milan Saturday and Sunday. The mob wai finally dispersed by soldiers after a hard fight which resulted in '500 killed and 1000 wounded. Governor Mount received a tele gram from the secretary of war jester day asking him to get two regiments of infantry and one battery of artillery into shape as soon as possible to be moved to Chickamauga. It is thought they will be ready to march by tomorrow noon. Thb yellow newspapers, in the accounts their special correspondent give of the famous Manila batt'e, leave the impression that Dewey ably assisted the correspondent in destroying the Spanish fleet. The expressions, "and myself," "Dewey and I," etc., are very common in those accounts, and leave the same taste in the mouth that offensive egotism always leaves. A COMPARISON of international char act eristics may account very satisfac tonly for the result of the first great naval engagement in the present war American boys have ever been taught to have an aim in life, while the sons of Castilian aristocracy have imbibed aimlessness in the very air they breathed. The difference between aim and no aim in a time of need was demonstrated in the shooting at Manila bay. Diogenes would have to substitute an arc light for his historical Isntern were he to begin his search for the man who admits having said McKiniey was too slow in bringirg about the declaration of war. Even irascible Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal is keeping still on the subject. If there is one thing in which the American people are more thor oughly united than in the determina tion to whip Spain, it is in the belief that our government is headed by pa triots. In the official report Dewey sends to his government, there is apparent the modesty and tenderness that ever ac companies true courage. lae man who could win the most remarkable naval victory the world has everknown, in the most remarkable way. wasted no words "bragging," but states simply and tersely what he has done, adding that he is caring for the Spanish sick and wounded and that he will protect foreign residents. Cowaidice, baggadocio and cruelty are "runniog mates," as the character of Weyler indicates, while courage, modesty and rentleness are as inevitable companions. The- present "Hispano American" war, as the Europeans call it, bids fair to be as signal a triumph for the su perstitious as it will be for Uncle Sam. Poor little Alfonso, the erstwhile boy king of Spain, is numbered XIII. As if that were not enough to forever and sufficiently "hoodoo" the boy, the present war was virtually declared on Friday by the refusal of Spain to receive McKinley's ultimatum from Woodford's hands. Then on Fridaj the same day war wai understood to be on the Nashville fired the first gun across ths bows of the Buera Ventura. Still worse, the fleet that left Cape de Verde islands for the trackless ocean had to turn back for repairs an unfailing rgn of "bad luck." And in the great Sunday battle at Manila the Spanish fired the first gun, a circumstance always preceding defeat, in soldier and sailor lore, when a Sunday battle is fought.

The Anderson Bulletin Tells of Hit Alarm In a "Great City" Lost His Bearings. The Anderson Bulletin spoils the following very good story by the mis statement that Mr. Parker is editor of this paper. He never was editor of the Pallaph-m and has not been con nected with this paper for some years. Inasmuch as Editor Parker, of the Richmond Palladium, has not so far writ in his paper" eoncerning his ex perience in Anderson this week, it re mains for Richmond people to be here by advised of the story, which is back ed up by affidavits. Mr. Parker came to attend the funeral of Major Doxey and concluded he would remain over night in the city, inasmuch as it was so attractive to him after looking around the business section. About bed time he started out for the residence sec tions to stay over night with some old friends, a family by name of Eccles. He thought they lived at Brown and hirteenth streets. Once from the sifcht of the court house tower he lost his bearing and to him there never be fore seemed so many street, avenues highways and byways as he observed after he got lost.

night he rounded up at the corner of thirteenth and School streets, at the home of S. M. Keitner and pounded on the door. Mr. Keitner responded and the strange n an at the door told his name ard said he was lost. Mr. Keitner' heart then became very mellow and he dressed for the street and went

forth with the stranger. He was taken to the corner of Brown and thirteenth Greets, and it was explained that no Eccles family lived there. Parker thought the house on the southeast corner was the one be intended to go to, bat that place is a parsonage, the resi dence of Rev. J. M. Wright of the Pi-esbj teriaa church. Parker was then in a fix, ani when Mr. Keitner learned he wm a brother of Ben Parker, the New Castle poet, the hospitality of tae Keitner home was extended to the lost man. He declined, saying he nsad to know Chris Maynard, bat Cnris had moved from Shadeland. About 2 o'clock the home of the Maynard's was located on west eleventh street, and Mr. Parker was greatly relieved. He went home next morniog and when the reporters hailed him for an item, a "what d'ye know" at the station, he declared he didn't know a thing for either Anderson or Richmond. It should be here understood that Mr. Parker is a temperate man and former iy a deacon in a ehurch. THE NEW B. P. I. Member Nominated on Saturday Evening by the Republican Caucus Who the Men Are. On Saturday evening, in a caucus of the nine Republican members of the new city council, the nominees for positions on the new board of public improvements were decided on. The work was accomplished in a very ?hort time, not more than half an hour altogether being consumed in the work. The mayor-e'ect was present as an onlooker. Tae persons selected to be presented to council tonight are: D. P. Whelan. third ward. Charles Clawson, second ward. C. W. Genn, fourth ward. A JUST REBUKE. The Spirit of Dewey is Abroad in the Land, and Men Resent Insults. Oa Saturday evening, at Hagerstown. a number of persons were gathered at the Pennsylvania company's waiting room, and a stranger of tough uldress and insulting manner aporoached the ticket agent's window, asking or rather demanding money of the fgent, Mr. Houser. The request vas not granted, of course, and vas reiterated in a manner still more uncivil and offensive. Again the demand was not complied with, and the stranger grew still more abusive. Upon that the spirit of George Dewey arose in the agnt, ind walking around through the office loor to the place where the abusive stranger was standing, he "smashed" the offensive fellow and proceeued to use him up generally in true American -tyle. The stranger, in the course of the battle, seized and held the watchenain or Air. nouser, ana toos it witn him as he made his escape and jumped on tne train. Air. Houser followed him thither and after some more exertion forced the ruffian to give up the watch chain. CHRONIC KICKERS. Some In Every Household In Rich mond, But They Are Growing Lass. Chronic kickers tne Kidneys are when they're sick. What makes the kidneys sick? simple thing. They have too much to do. Must keep up their work they never rest. Can't blame them for kicking. Ever have your kidneys kickt Ever have a bad back, a lame, weak or aching onef Know it s the same thing! The back aches because the kidneys are blocked. Help the kidneys with their work. The back will ache no more. Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney Pills do this. It's the best proof, for it comes from Richmond. Citizens read this case in point: Mr. Martin Bulach, tailor, 101 wes second street, says: Within the last year and a half or two years I had been subject to aching pains through ray loins and in my kidneys with a tendency of the muscles to tire quickly The kidney secretions were frequent scanty and annoying. It is to the striin upon my back from the position assumed when working that I attribute the trouble. I was advised to trv Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store and had taken but a few doses when I felt their beneficial effects and in a short time my back felt all right.

DEPOT BURNED.

TIIK BIO FOUIt DEPOr CAMBRIDGE CITY IN HUIXS. AT Telegraph Office and a Considerable Amount cf Freight Oeetroyed The Origin Not Known. Fire broke out in the B g Four depot at Can: bridge Citv on Sataniay night last near the hoar of midnight. The smoke and flames were seen issuing from the east windows, shortly after tho witching hour, and it was then too late to save the structure. The fire evidently started inside the depot by some means as yet unknown. The telegraph office was burned, and also quite a quantity of freight, including a number of sewing machines, some agricultural machinery, etc. The loss is estimated at $4 000 to $5,000. The building was a brick structure, f o-merly a Catholic church. The fire was not fuily extinguished until well along in the day, yesterday, and owing to the windiness, the greatest care had to be exercised to prevent the spread of the flames to other portions of tho town by means of blowing sparks or small coals. The fire occasioned q iite a good deal of excitement in the town in the latter part of the night and earlier port:on of the day. LOCAL NEWS George Wyncoop of Eaton spent Sunday here ith friends.

The angel of death has again entered the portals of our assembly room and ruthlessly removed from our midst our beloved sister BeulahMacpherson, and in this we recognize the divine will of our great Commander and bow in hum ble submission. No woman ever lived in this city who was better and more favorably known than Beulah Macpherson. She was of an amiable and self-sacrificing disposition, ever ready to lend a helping hand to all good works. When the storm clouds of the civil war hovered o'er this beautiful land of ours, it was then that her kindness was made manifest by her untiring energy in behalf of ihe brave defenders of our country's honor; her work was not a task, but the cheerful outpouring of a true and loyal heart Jtsut, alas, sne is gone; sne is bivouacked on fame's eternal camping ground with the soldier boys she loved so well, and will stand with out stretched hands to welcome all true and loyal friends to a peaceful rest. Yes, we shall miss her in our meet ings, where she always endeavored to make herself useful, cheerfully performing every duty assigned her and ever ready with an interesting reminis cence of the war times. Our loss is without doubt her gain. How sad the fact that no near relative remains to receive our consolations. In conclusion we would recommend that all our sisters follow her example in doing good for our fellow mortals, so that our end may be as peaceful as was her's. "One by one the sands are flowing: One by one the moments fall; Some are comlnir, some are going: IX not strive to grasp tbem all.

England's Noted 'al Expert Tells Bow Coal Considerations Affect the Spanish Squadron's Operative Powers Capacity of the Ships' Coal Hankers Says Spanish Fleet Is Snre to Lose May Meet la the West Indies. Iu all tbe Spanish naval plain) to raise the Cuban blockade the question of coal capacity and coal consumption by the Spanish fleet is of paramount importance. In view of this fact the New York World lias obtained from II. W. Wileun, author of "Ironclads In Action,' tbe niofct noted living British naval expert, a precise statement of just how coal considerations affect the operative powers rf the Spanish squadron. He writes: "In view of tbe various very discrep ant statements made respecting th Spanish cruisers coal capacity it is nn certain what quality of coal is on board and whether it is the best Welsh steam or tbe rubbishy Spanish or German coal Of tbe latter three tons will only do tbe work of two tons of tbe former. Spain had not large stocks of coal, so it is probable that there is much poor stuff iu the bunkers. The calculations below are for tbe best Welsh coal, and Spain eianrance must be somewhat reduced if Vt elsh coal is not on board. "Besides tbe coal carried in bunkers, some can be stowed in bags for a long voyage. The quantity thus carried naturally uncertain, but about tbe ex treme limit for the size of the ship is allowed. All tbe Spanish armored cruis ers have economical triple expansion en gmes, but tbe stokers are believed to be inferior. Tbe speed used will be ecO' nomical about ten knots until the American fleet or cruisers are sighted, The figures for the Spanish ships are as given below: "The Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Infanta Maria Teresa baveall 1,200 tons bunker capacity, and with spare coal in bags say 300 tons they can carry a total of 1,500 tons.- Tbe Cape Verdes and Puerto Rico are 2, 400 miles apart. With ten days' economical speed at a consumption of from 60 to 80 tons a day tbe total burned on the voyage would be from 600 to 800 tons. There remains say 600 tons, enough for eight or nine days' economical steaming. To New York is 11 or 13 days and would require, say, VoO tons, .there remains 550 tons, cf which 300 is needed to get to Halifax and a reserve of 250 tons for operations on tbe American coast. Tbe Cristobal Colon has 1,000 tons in ber bunkers, and liquid fuel is reported in her doable bottom. This is doubtful. but allow that it equals 200 tons of coal, witb a deckload of 250 tons, this gives a total cf 1,450 tons. "The Niclause has very economical boilers, witb a consumption of 50 to 0 tons a dav, giving a total to Puerto Rico cf about 700 tens and to New York of abort fctO tons. This leaves 650 or 00 tens, allowing for rather more ex tended operations than the other cruis ers, lue destroyers .FJuton, Terror and Furor can cairy at their extreme limit 120 toi;s, which may last a fortnight at economical spied if bad weather is not encountered. If tbe Spanish fleet meets Rear Ad miral Sampson east of Puerto Rico, they muft either run or fight. If she fights, Spain will be smashed bands down. If tbe fleet runs, the Yankee cruisers, fresb from port, foil up with coal nd iu fine trim, will quickly over take tbe tear ship and attack it. If tbe other Spanish ships stop to give help, ampson's battleships will come up and send tbe Spaniards to tbe bottom. ' ihe destroyers are very dangerous in sciccta water, but in a beavy sea are i.-jt so formidable. Therefore Sampsou sboild attack as far east as may be, a cna! turned in their boilers leaves the l-uiikers empty of co il protection. De-tiroyera have been coaled in a seaway from a large ship but rsrely. Spain may try in run the fleet to an unobserved anchci.ig'? nn but it i believed that there are no nllicrn vv-ith tbe Spanish Seet. "Pritish sympathy prevents British colliers from going to help tbe Spaniards. The transpoi t San Francisco, reported to be witb the torpedo boats Ariel a, Azor and Rayt full of coal, baa transferred much .f H to tbe Spanish cruisers at Cape Verde, aud their whereabouts are uncertain. Tb torpedo boats could cross with some difficulty under sail, and an anchorage that, might be used ty Spain is tbe gulf of Ocoa. on tbe Haiti coa-t. There ia a very good unfrequented barber at Martinique and many ou tbe South American coast. "Spain might temporarily seize an open tay on the United states coast. but this would te very risky and would meau her probable destruction. I see nothing in the neutrality declarations to prevent the Spanish from coaling lrom colliers in a neutrvl port provided they do net make it the OaBij of a pro longed stay. Much depends on the attitude toward America of the power own-

It is possibly after tbe Oregon, but she can retreat to neutral waters. The danger oints f ir America to watch are the Haitian coast and South American eoat.

I presume tbe Puerto Rico anchorages are well watched Ly tbe American fieet. Puerto de Gnanica is likely to be a rendezvous, as it is an excellent, 1 fensiUle harbor, out of the regular track. " SHOALS IN MANILLA HARBOR Aa Old Seamaa Says That tee;s MMasertaa; Was Aloaa a Great Feat. Roundsman Patrick A. Met-tan of tbe bicycle squad, to whom tbe New York police board granted a leave of absence to volunteer for service iu tbe war, is an old United States seamau and has often been in tbe barber of Manilla. He said recently in regard to tbe battle there: "Tbe greatest miracle cf it all to me ia Ute wonderful maneuvering of tbe vessels in the inner barbor. Ihe wattr there in some places is 23 fathoms and a few feet away it iaouly a tew feet deep. It requires an expert to navigate tbe treacherous waters cf the barbor, tbe shoals iu w hich are almost as dangerous, if not more so, as tbe passage over tbe mines. The Americans must have bad some of the iusurgeuts on board who knew tbe barbor well aud were able to tell them bow to avoid tbe shoals. Those shoals are more dangerous to a vessel of the tonnage of a man-of-war than batteries and torpedoes. All tbe waters about tbe Philippines are this way. I have seen large merchantmen wait a long time for expert pilots to get tbem into and through tbe shoal waters of Manilla barbor in safety. "With all that Commodore Dewey bad to contend against it is really wonderful what he did. The Spanish vessels probably stood still Lecaose they bad no expert pilots. Auy one who has been in Manilla barbor can realize what I mean when I say tbe result of tbe buttle see in s to me more like a miracle tbau anything else." New York Tribune. BALLOONS FOR SEA SCOUTS. Joseph fr'lelM-hman Snggests aa Idea to Navy lr par tme lit. Joseph Fleiscbman of New York has suggested to ex-Asaistaut Secretary of tbe Navy Theodore Roosevelt tbe use of balloons for extended marine observation. He says the suggestion has been laid before the naval board of strategy. Under clear skies observers ou shipboard, aided by the most powerful glasses, can cover a horizon range of only 30 miles. Mr. Fleiscbman suggests that balloon" capable of sustaining several observers should be carried by tbe larger scouting cruisers, tuch as the Yale aud tbe Harvard. Whenever deemed advisable, these balloons could be raised from tbe vessels decks, secured by stout cables. From the balloons to tbe deck telephonic or telegraphic communication should be established. Tbe balloon could rise to a height to cover a much greater range than tbe best glass bs. New York Herald. Spain Street Heromes Dewey Street.
