UNCLE SAM AFLOAT. Interesting Notes Relative to the Navy. The United States is the fifth naval power in the world. The navies of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy rank ahead in the order named. Germany and the United States are about tied. Our effective fighting force consists of four battleships of the first-class, one battleship of the second-class, two armored cruisers, fifteen gunboats, six double turreted monitors, one ram, one dynamite gunboat, one dispatch boat, one transport and eight torpedo boats. The Iowa weighs nearly 12,000 tons, and as 20 tons is the average load for a freight car and twelve cars is a good load for a locomotive engine, it would take fifty locomotives to haul the great steel structure. The powder used is brown and in chunks the size of a caramel. A charge of the biggest gun weighs 500 pounds and is hoisted to the breech by a derrick, the powder being sewel up in burlap bags. Armor plates are tested by firing steel projectiles weighing from 100 to 1500 pounds at them from guns charged with 500 pounds of powder and at a distance of about a city block. Our battleships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an hour. Cruisers make nineteen to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can travel only five to seven knots. The biggest guns in the navy are 49 feet long, big enough for a man to crawl into; four feet in diameter at their largest part and weigh 135,500 pounds, or thereabouts. There are six rear-admirals in service. The offices of vice-admiral and admiral are unfilled, so there is no head of the navy excepting Secretary Long. Barnacles form on the hull of a ship, impeding its speed. A six months' cruise will decrease the speed of a ship 15 per cent., and it must go into dry dock. Sixty one merchant vessels belong to the auxiliary navy. These ships are subsidized and by contract must be given to the United States on demand. Some of the guns of the navy can fire a shot 12, miles further than a man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery. The amount expended by the Navy Department in 1897 was $34,561,546. This is a larger sum than has been expended any year since 1866. In battle all the woodwork and all articles of wood are stowed below or thrown overboard, lest the men be injured by splinters. The origin of the Navy Department may be said to date from Oct. 13, 1775, The World's Great Blood Purifier is Hood's Sarsaparilla, Which absolutely Cures every form of Impure blood, from The pimple on your Face to the great Scrofula sore which Drains your system. Thousands of people Testify that Hood's Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Dyspepsia, Malaria, Catarrh, Rheumatism, And That Tired Feeling. Remember this And get Hood's And only Hood's. A FRIENDLY CALL. Foreign Representatives at Washington Call on the President. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The representatives of the six great powers of Europe, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy, gave official form at noon to-day to their recent conferences in the interest of a peaceful settlement in the Cuban situation. Their procedure was unique in the United States, though doubtless a familiar one in European courts. They called in a body at the White House, presented an address to President McKinley in the Blue Parlor, received the reply, and then proceeded to the State Department where, with solemn punctilliousness, they were received by Assistant Secretary Day in the diplomatic room. They were accompanied by their secretaries. The ceremony was impressive. The Ambassadors and Ministers had agreed upon a line of action at a meeting at the British Embassy. Early in the day there was evidence of great activity at the foreign establishments, and while the customary secrecy was observed, yet no further effort was made to question or deny the fact that the Ambassadors had agreed upon a concrete form of action. The additional fact was made known for the first time that Sir Julian Spain against any internal foes that might arise as a menace to the dynasty as a result of yielding to the demands of the United States. In plain English, this means that Austrian troops would, if necessary, sent to Spain to maintain order and suppress civil war. The Austrian troops would have behind them alied moral and physical forces of Europe. The Papal Nuncio, who has been repeatedly to the palace in the last twenty-four hours, is believed to be sympathy with this program. NEW YORK, April 9.—A dispatch from Madrid says: The Ambassadors call five great European powers—France Germany, Russia, Italy and Austria have diplomatically informed the government of Spain that a war with the United States can only be avoided, their judgment, by Spain yielding. The Ambassadors of Europe have advised extreme concessions to the United States. They have appealed to Spain pride, noble self-sacrifice and self-interest. They mean that she must abide don Cuba. The Ambassadors of the same power called upon President McKinley in Washington in the interest of peace—a matter of form. There was possible no expectation, no hope, that the United States would recede one inch from its own vital demand—that Spain must give Cuba. But the powers must have felt that, as they were about to use coercion in Madrid, it would be oplastic to make a demonstration in Washington at the same time. KEY WEST, April 10.—Consul-General Lee arrived here on the Fern at 7:30 o'clock this morning. Gen. Lester ashore about 11 o'clock, and received an answer to a telegram which he had sent to Washington. The general sailed for Tampa at noon. From that port he will go direct to Washington. KEY WEST, Fla., April 10.—"To the Olivetice to get under way at once Capt. Cowles; signal the Bache that the United States fleet is ready to clear out of Havana, and please follow the Bache out." These were the words of Consul-General Lee at 5:20 p.m. m. yesterday, as stood on the poop of the Fern, with group of correspondents around him it was evident to all that Gen. Lee intended to be the last to leave, and murmur of applause went around support of his intention. The Evelyn had already passed Morro Castle when the Olivetice weighed anchor. The Bache was close behind, and the Fern was the last of the line. The wharfway and boats on both sides of the narrow entrance to the harbor were crowded with Spaniards, who jeered as they boomed out. As the Fern rounded to, heading for the open sea, she passed near the Maimuna Sixty one merchant vessels belong to the auxiliary navy. These ships are subsidized and by contract must be given to the United States on demand. Some of the guns of the navy can fire a shot 12 miles further than a man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery. The amount expended by the Navy Department in 1897 was $34,561,546. This is a larger sum than has been expended any year since 1866. In battle all the woodwork and all articles of wood are stowed below or thrown overboard, lest the men be injured by splinters. The origin of the Navy Department may be said to date from Oct. 13, 1775, when Congress authorized the equipment of two cruisers. The fastest vessels in the navy are the torpedo boats, Porter and Dupont, each of which can travel 27.5 knots an hour. Battleships cost from $2,500,000 to $3,750,000, and cruisers from $600,000 to $3,000,000. A good torpedo boat costs over $100,000. Battleships are for heavy work; cruisers are commerce destroyers; monitors are useful only for coast defense. The Indiana could lie outside Sandy Hook and throw 1200-pound shots into New York at the rate of four a minute. Those artists who show smoke in their pictures of naval battles are wholly wrong. Smokeless powder is used. All of the cruisers are named in the honor of cities, and the battleships, except the Kearsarge, in honor of States. The "grog" ration was abolished in 1863, and since then the crew has been forbidden to drink while on duty. Marines are the police on board ship; originally they were employed to prevent mutiny among the sailors. The guns of a battleship can carry from six to twelve miles, hurling a shot weighing half a ton. Nearly 60 per cent of the enlisted men are Americans and a smaller percentage yet are native born. Projectiles thrown by naval guns are shaped much as the bullets shot by the ordinary rifle. A battleship has on board an electric plant capable of lighting a town of 5000 inhabitants. The boilers of the Iowa have a heating surface of eight acres, and hold 30 tons of water. Great Britain has 294 torpedoes and torpedo-boat destroyers; Uncle Sam has only eight. Five hundred and twenty-six men and forty officers are required to man the cruiser New York. Battleships are covered with armor of nickle steel from five to seven inches thick. We have four armored battleships—the Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts and Texas. A submarine torpedo boat to be known as the Plunger is now under construction. At present the total enlisted force of the naval militia is 3870 officers and men. Behind the heavy armor there is a padding of either corn pith or cocoa husks. It costs $500 every time one of the big guns on board a ship is fired. The Brooklyn and New York are our armored cruisers. Sailors are paid from $9 50 to $12 50 per month and board. An act of Congress in 1872 abolished fogging in the navy. The American navy has practically all been built since 1883. A captain in the navy ranks with a Colonel in the army. The oldest iron vessel is the Michigan, built in 1844. Five battleships are now under construction. The Ambassadors and Ministers had agreed upon a line of action at a meeting at the British Embassy. Early in the day there was evidence of great activity at the foreign establishments, and while the customary secrecy was observed, yet no further effort was made to question or deny the fact that the Ambassadors had agreed upon a concrete form of action. The additional fact was made known for the first time that Sir Julian Pauncefote had communicated with the State Department authorities on this subject, and while-the full form of the movement might not then have been made known, the United States authorities were made aware of what was being done and of the further fact that an official presentation of the subject would be made. This government was undoubtedly made acquainted with the address to be delivered and then, in the light of it, prepared its reply. Arriving at the White House, they were ushered into the Blue Room, and there were received by President McKinley. After a social exchange of mutual well wishes, Ambassadors, Ministers and Charges, speaking through Sir Julian Pauncefote, delivered to the President an address, to which he responded. Sir Julian Pauncefote said: "Mr. President: We have been commanded by the great powers of Europe, whom we represent here-to-day, to approach Your Excellency with a message of friendship and peace at the present critical juncture in the relations between the Uniteh States and Spain, and to convey to you sentiments expressed in the collective note, which I have the honor to place in your hands." The note of the powers was as follows: "The undersigned, representatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia, duly authorized in that behalf, address in the name of their respective governments a pressing appeal to the feeling of humanity and moderation of the President of the American people in their existing differences with Spain. They earnestly hope that further negotiations will lead to an agreement which, while securing the maintenance of peace, will afford all necessary guarantees for the re-establishment of order in Cuba." "The powers do not doubt that the humanitarian and purely disinterested character of this representation will be fully-recognized and appreciated by the American nation." President McKinley replied as follows: "The government of the United States recognizes the good will which has prompted the friendly communication of the representatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, as set forth in the address of your Excellencies, and shares the hope therein expressed that the outcome of the situation in Cuba may be the maintenance of peace between the United States and Spain affording the necessary guarantees for the re-establishment of order in the island; so terminating the chronic condition of disturbance there, which so deeply injures the interests and mences the tranquility of the American nation by the character and consequences of the struggle thus kept up at our doors, besides shocking the sentiment of humanity." "The government of the United States appreciates the humanitarian and disinterested character of the communication now made on behalf of the reply, and then proceeded to the State Department where, with solemn punctiliousness, they were received by Assistant Secretary Day in the diplomatic room.

The reply of President McKinley created a most favorable impression among the Ambassadors and Ministers. It was cabled immediately to London, Paris, and all other European capitals. The declaration of the President that, in the interest of humanity, this warfare must stop, and his direct appeal to them to exert their influence in the name of humanity, found a sympathetic reflection In the sentiment of all the Ambassadors and other representatives. LONDON, April 8.—A special to the Sun says the action of the combined powers in making a representation in the interests of peace at Washington and Madrid needs to be explained before its significance is fully apparent. Instead of being an interference with or even a criticism of American policy, it is really a full indulgence of that policy. Otherwise, Great Britain would never have been a party to it Europe realizes, at least, that only in Madrid can any outside influence avail anything toward avoiding war. Europe knows now that the only way of complying with America's demand for the restoration of peace in Cuba is by Spain's surrender of the island, but Europe also knows that it is impossible for either Prime Minister Sagasta or Queen Regent Christina to grant the demand. There are reasons to believe the powers have made extraordinary propositions to Spain. They have said in effect, that if she should make such concessions to the United States as they believed to be necessary, the powers of Europe would guarantee her against war, both external and internal. The powers would delegate to one of their own number, Austria, whose throne is so closely allied to the throne of Spain by ties of blood, the duty of defending Love that Alters. "Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds." That is one of the sublimest lines in all literature. It is the final definition of love by the world's greatest reader of the human mind.—Shakespeare. Nearly all women who truly love, love in this sublime way Men seldom do. Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the purity and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her special womanly organism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. He general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her ambiity and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for many thousands of women. He has devised a perfect and scientific remedy for women's ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for all weaknesses, diseases, disorders, displacements irregularities, and debilitating drains peculiar to women. It pifies, regulates strengths and heals. Medicine dealer sell it, and no honest dealer will advise you to accept a substitute that he may make a little larger profit. "I was afflicted with kidney trouble and I have always had a torpid liver," writes Mrs. H. Crosswhite, of Duffau, Erath Co., Texas. "When I commenced my medicine I was not able to stand on my feet. I used one bottle of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription and five vials on his 'Peasant Pellets.' I am now well. I have not walked in four months when I commence the treatment; but in ten days I was able to walk everywhere." A SUCCESSFUL EVANGELIST Rev. W. A. Dunnett, a Man Whose Good Work Is Widely Known—He Relates Events in His Career of General Interest. From the Smith’s Falls Record. Throughout Canada, from the western boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean, there is no name more widely known in temperance and evangelistic work than that of the Rev. W. A. Dunnett. Mr. Dunnett has been the Grand Vice-Councillor of Ontario and Quebec in the Royal Templars, and so popular is he among the members of the order that in Montreal there is a Royal Templars council named “Dunnett Council” in his honor. For more than ten years Mr. Dunnett has been going from place to place pursuing his good work, sometimes assisting resident ministers, sometimes conducting a series of gospel temperance meetings independently, but always laboring for the good of his fellows. While in Smith’s Falls a few months ago in connection with his work he dropped into the Record office for a little visit with the editor. During the conversation the Record ventured to remark that his duties entailed an enormous amount of hard work. To this Mr. Dunnett asserted, but added that in his present physical condition he was equal to any amount of hard work. But it was not always so, he said, and then he gave the writer the following little personal history, with permission to make it public. He said that for the past thirteen years he had been greatly troubled with a pain in the region of his heart, from which he was unable to get any relief. At times it was a dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and severe. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit for his engagements, and at all times it made it difficult to move. His trouble was always visible to the public and frequently when conducting service he would give out and doctors-had to be called in to attend him. This occurred to him in the Yonge Street Church, Toronto; the Baptist Church, Woodstock, N.B.; the Methodist Church, Carleton Place, Ont. On another occasion while preaching to an audience of 2,500 people in the Franklin Street Congregational Church, at Manchester, N.H. Five doctors had arrived and were in attendance before he regained consciousness. In all these cities and towns the newspapers freely mentioned his affliction at the time. Mr. Dunnett said he had consulted many physicians, though he said, to be entirely fair, he had never been any great length of time under treatment by any one doctor because of his itinerant mode of life. In the early part of the summer of 1896, while in Brockville assisting the pastor of the Wall Street Methodist Church in evangelistic services, he was speaking of his trouble to a friend who urged him to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and next day presented him with a dozen boxes. “I took the pills,” said Mr. Dunnett, “and I declare to you I am a well man to-day. I used to worry a great deal over the pain about my heart, but that is all gone now, and I feel like a new man.” All this the reverend gentleman told in a simple conversational way, and when it was suggested that he let it be known, he rather demurred, because, as he put it, “I am almost afraid to say I am cured, and yet there is no man enjoying better health to-day than I do.” At that time, at Mr. Dunnett’s request, his statement was only published locally, but now writing under the date of Jan. 21st from Fitchburg, Mass., where he has been conducting a very successful series of evangelistic meetings, he says: “I had held back from writing in regard to my health, not because I had forgotten, but because it seemed too good to be true that the old time pain had gone. I cannot say whether it will ever return, but I can certainly say it has not troubled me for months, and I am in better health than I have been for years. I have gained in flesh, hence in weight. I would prefer not to say anything about my appetite; like the poor, it is ever with me. Yes! I attribute my good health to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and you have my consent to use the fact.” MAY HAVE MEANT WELL. But Her Efforts Did Not Meet With Much Success. Last season a Washington woman, possessing both social and charitable ambitions, elected to give a reception. The affair was to be gory exclusive. Judge of the surprise when a bundle of invitations was left at the door of a hospital in town upon whose board of managers Mrs. Z. serves. The invitations were found to be addressed to the trained nurses of the institution, and great was the wonder that the professional ranks had been invaded for so long of freshly-fired flying fish. The sea ceaseth, but it sufficeth us. High roller, low roller, lower roller. Give Grimes Jim’s great gilt gig whip. Two toads, totally tired, tried to trot to Tedbury.

From the Riverside Press. A. G. Hubbard of Redlands has a claim on 15,000 inches of water since 1934 on the Santa Ana river below Filarlee Flat, and two miles south at the junction of the river and Creek. The purposes for which water is to be used are irrigation, firefighting, water power and drainage uses, and the intention is to use same at Crafton, Redlands, Highlandia and vicinity. The claim also includes the right to build a dam 200 feet in height near the spot where the notice is placed at the narrows, and to run the wedge thus conserved down the channel head of the Greenspot pipe line north fork of the Redlands. This claim also includes the right overflow the land above the dam as a 200-foot dam will raise the water. The claim includes the right to ensure natural overflow of the Santa Ana river above this reservoir, and a same amount to be measured out by not exceeding 600 inches, the claims being on all the water above the same inches from whatever source it come. TONGUES IN TREES—BOOKS IN NING BROOKS. From the California Cultivator (San Francisco). The ANAHEIM GAZETTE. Shakespeare is able to find tongues trees; books in the running but seminars in stones and good in eating. Hear it: The dry spell have its good effect with a large ber of beet raisers; who will still devote more time to the thorough tivation of their land for beet raisers which is highly essential in this try. In former years the rainfall been of such volume as not to coerce the beet raiser to till the soil as ooughly as he would do otherwise produce a crop; while this season afford ample opportunity for their verizing of the soil. However area put to beets this year will not large but those maturing will not be of rich quality; should a few showers intervene which is not unlikely. A New Orleans special says that steamer Utstein has arrived at Eads from Matanzas having on Messrs Curtis and Richardson on Kansas City Star; who represents Kansas City in the distribution of relief supplies to the suffer concentrados. On Monday they plied were landed; but only with difficulty and amid abuse and indictment of the Spanish populace. The ence of the food distributors in Matzas created such intense excitement and bitterness that a riot was stirred against any internal foes that arise as a menace to the dynasty. In York, April 9—A dispatch Madrid says: The Ambassadors of Great Europe powers—France, Russia, Italy and Austria—obtained one inch from its concrete demand—that Spain must Cuba. But the powers may halt that, as they were about to receive one inch from its total demand—that Spain must Cuba. West, April 10—Consul-Genial arrives here on the Fern at clock this morning. Gen. Lee choreo about 11 o'clock, answer to a telegram which sent to Washington. The genedered for Tampa at noon. From it he will go direct to Washinton at the same time. WEST, Fla., April 10—“Tellette get under way at once bowles; signal the Bache that need States fleet is ready to clear Havana; and please follow out.” were the words of Consul-Genial at 5:20 p.m. yesterday as he pooled of Fern with a correspondents around him. Evident to all that Gen. Lee intends to be last to leave, and a good applause went around in his intention. The Evelynady passed Morro Castle when sweetie weighed anchor. The was close behind, and the Fern last of line. The wharves are on both sides of the narrow road to harbor were crowded aniards; who jeered as the boat out. Fern rounded to; heading for sea; she passed near the Maine MAY HAVE MEANT WELL. But Her Efforts Did Not Meet With Much Success. Last season a Washington woman, possessing both social and charitable ambitions, elected to give a reception. The affair was to be gery exclusive. Judge of the surprise when a bundle of invitations was left at the door of a hospital in town upon whose board of managers Mrs. Z. serves. The invitations were found to be addressed to the trained nurses of the institution, and great was the wonder that the professional ranks had been invaded for society recruits. A few days elapsed, and Mrs. Z. paid a visit to the hospital. Making herself extremely agreeable, she remarked to the nurses: "Well, girls, I hope you received cards to my reception?" Smiles and acknowledgments answered in the affirmative, and Mrs. Z. went on complacently: "Indeed, I was only too glad to remember you all. I appreciate how much work and how little play you girls have, and I thought you would enjoy a little glimpse of society fun." "No doubt of it, Mrs. Z," one of the nurses spoke up, "but none of us are likely to have gowns suitable to wear at such a function." "Oh, that need not trouble you in the least," returned the smiling Mrs. Z. "Now, my idea is this. Of course I understand you have no evening gowns and that you know very few society people, but these facts must not interfere with your getting a peep at my guests and eating some of my supper. I thought the whole thing would be simplified if you all came in your pretty uniforms and caps and took up your stations in the dressing rooms. You would only have to assist the ladies with their wraps, and you could see the gowns to such good advantage, and"—But such a chorus of indignant exclamation rent the air at that juncture that Mrs. Z.'s sentence was never completed. The social veneering must be thickly coated on Mrs. Z., for to this day she does not seem to understand why the nurses meet her advances with frigid indifference and why her visits to the hospital are no longer pleasant. —Washington Star. MAKING PLATE GLASS. An Operation That Requires a Deal of Skill and Care. A visit to a plate glass works reveals nothing perhaps more interesting than the casting tables on which the heavy plate glass used in most store windows is cast "The casting tables," said the superintendent of a large factory, "are the most important pieces of apparatus in this establishment. Each table is about 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and from 7 to 8 inches thick. The heavy strips of iron on either side of the tables afford a bearing for the rollers and determine the thickness or diameter of the glass to be cast. "The rough plate is commonly nine-sixteenths of an inch thick, but after polishing it is reduced to six or seven sixteenths. All casting tables are mounted on wheels which run on a track made to reach every furnace and annealing oven in the factory. The table having been wheeled as near as possible to the sea ceaseth, but it sufficeth us. High roller, low roller, lower roller. Give Grimes Jim's great gilt gig whip.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such defenses to property as locks, bolts and bars are not required, nor are there any police in the island. Yet its history for 1,000 years records no more than two thefts. Of these two cases one was that of a native, who was detected after stealing several sheep, but as he had done so to supply his family, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm, provisions were furnished to them and work was found for him when able to do it, and meanwhile he was placed under medical care, but the stigma attached to his crime was considered sufficient punishment. The other theft was by a German, who stole 17 sheep. But as he was in comfortable circumstances and the robbery was malicious the sentence passed upon him was that he should sell all his property, restore the value of what he had stolen and then leave the country or be executed, and he left at once. But though crime is rare in Iceland and its inhabitants are distinguished for honesty and purity of morals there is, of course, provision for the administration of justice which consists, first of all, in the sheriff's courts; next, by appeals to the court of three judges at Reikiavik, the capital, and lastly in all criminal and most civil cases to the supreme court at Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, of which kingdom the island forms a part. The Island of Panaris, one of the Lipari group, is equally fortunate in having neither prisons nor lawyers and being absolutely destitute of both paupers and criminals — Boston Transcript. Versatile Dr. Bedloe. Among the accomplishments of Dr. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia, the American consul at Canton, China, is remarkable skill in mimicry. He can imitate with his voice the accent and mannerisms of speech of all the leading actors and orators as well as a number of musical instruments. His imitations of the twanging of a banjo are exceedingly accurate. Some years ago Dr. Bedloe was in a room at the Press club when several guests were being entertained in an adjoining apartment. He has been with the party, but had excused himself on the plea that he wanted to get his banjo. He proceeded to play 'a medley and did the imitation so well that the guests would not believe he had not actually performed on area put to beets this year will large, but those maturing will not be of rich quality, should a few showers intervene, which is not unlikely.
