There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surface of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Money to Loan. From $5,000 to $10,000 in sums to suit on real estate or approved security.

EDITOR GAZETTE—In the year 1867 I was engaged as principal of the grammar school of San Leandro, then the county seat of Alameda county. Among the pupils of one of my lower classes was a boy of about 12 years of age, of poor Irish parents. His father and mother did not live very agreeably, hence his father was seldom at home. His mother took in washing in order to support herself and keep her three children at school—one daughter, the hero of my story, and a younger brother. The two boys went about the town gathering up the laundry work for their mother, and delivered it when ready. The daughter gave what assistance she could. The boy Jimmie was an unusually bright boy, but on account of the family poverty and disagreement of parents was backward and timid. I, knowing these facts, took considerable interest in the two elder ones, who were in my department. I commended the boy and told him that he had a good head, a rugged constitution, and I could not see why he should not be a great man. The idea of him ever being great was a new idea to him. He studied the harder for the words of encouragement given to him. About Christmas the year '67 I found it to be to my advantage to change my place of work from San Leandro to Alameda, and to my surprise when I entered the schoolroom there I found my old pupil, his sister having been admitted to the State Normal school, then located in San Francisco. He had persuaded his mother to move to Alameda, that he might continue with me. At the end of the year he passed a successful examination to the San Francisco high school. In 1871 he graduated and took a year's course in the State University, when through the influence of Gen. O. H. La Grange, then Superintendent of the mint, and a former teacher of vessels were examined, and it was discovered that they had sustained no damage. Breakfast was served to the men and in a few minutes they re-enforced the fight with the greatest enthusiasm. The second fire was even more fierce than the first. It was in this that the Baltimore was struck. During the first fire the Spanish admiral's ship steamed bravely out to meet the Olympia. The entire American fleet concentrated fire upon her, and she was so badly injured that she turned around to put back. At this juncture the Olympia let fly an 8-inch shell which struck her stern and pierced through her entire length, exploding finally in the engine-room, wrecking her machinery. This shell killed the captain and sixty men and set the vessel on fire. The Spanish admiral immediately transferred his flag to the cruiser Isla de Cuba. Several smaller vessels of the American fleet, led by the Boston, centered their fire on this ship and literally tore her to pieces. The admiral was slightly wounded and escaped in a small boat into Baker Bay and flew to Manila. In the heat of the fight two torpedo boats moved out to attack the fleet. They were allowed to come within 800 yards when a fusillade from the Olympia sent one to the bottom with all on board, and riddled the other. The second boat was later found turned up on the beach covered with blood. In the second fight the Baltimore was sent to silence the fort at Cavite. She plunged into a cloud of smoke, and opened all her batteries on the fortifications. In a very few minutes a shell struck in the ammunition and the fort blew up with a deafening roar. The work of the Baltimore was glorious. After the principal ships were destroyed the Concord, Raleigh and Petrel, being of light draft, were sent close in to handle the remaining vessels of the fleet. They made quick work of them. Several tugs and a large number of launches were captured. The vessels destroyed were three cruisers, eight gunboats and two torpedo vessels. The series of fortifications at Cavite, a neighboring arsenal and the fort on Corregidor island at the head of the bay, were captured. pointed out also that the elevation of the dynamite guns suits them for sending a dynamite shell high into the air and then dropping it like a mortar ball into the midst of the fortifications. These views were called to the attention of naval officials to-day, and the desire was expressed that the Vesuvius be given a chance to throw a few hundred pounds of dynamite into Santiago. Some of the naval officers think that the Vesuvius has not trained her guns upon Santiago thus far because of the feeling of danger which attends the handling of these guns: It is said if a Spanish shot pierced the Vesuvius and got into her dynamite magazines it would result in a terrible explosion and the wiping out of ship, officers and crew. There is a little hesitancy over firing these huge masses of dynamite, as naval officers believe it has not yet been proved that they will not explode before getting under way. These are some of the causes leading up to the lack of service of this cruiser. There is a desire, however, to find out one way or the other what dynamite will accomplish in warfare and the appeals which have been made probably will result in bringing the Vesuvius into the ranks of the fighting ships. NEW YORK, June 8.—A special from Kingston, Jamaica, reports that the Spanish cruiser Viscaya and the torpedo-boat destroyer Furor were badly damaged during the bombardment of Santiago's defenses on Monday. A shell from the Brooklyn is said to have burst under the Vizcaya's port quarter, dismounting a gun, injuring the cruiser's rudder and wounding several of her crow.

About Christmas the year '67 I found it to be to my advantage to change my place of work from San Leandro to Alameda, and to my surprise when I entered the schoolroom there I found my old pupil, his sister having been admitted to the State Normal school, then located in San Francisco. He had persuaded his mother to move to Alameda, that he might continue with me. At the end of the year he passed a successful examination to the San Francisco high school. In 1871 he graduated and took a year's course in the State University, when through the influence of Gen. O. H. La Grange, then Superintendent of the mint, and a former teacher of the boy, being my predecessor in the San Leandro school, he got the appointment for him at Annapolis naval academy, where he graduated in June, 1874, the second in a class of 48. Upon his return to California that year I wrote him a letter congratulating him upon his promotion and future prospects, and hoped that he would not forget his duty to his noble mother who had striven so hard to aid him. His reply was as follows: To W. M. McFadden—Dear Teacher: I received your kind letter yesterday and am very thankful for the interest you have always manifested in me. I shall always remember you as one of my best and kindest teachers. As to what you said regarding my duty to my mother, sister and brother, I shall state that I should consider myself fallen very low indeed if I were ever to cease to love and respect them. I thank you for your letter and should have written you long ago had I positively known your address. Wishing you and your family health and prosperity, I remain, your old pupil, JAMES GLENNON. P. S. Mother and Belle send you their best wishes. J. G. Alameda, Sept. 4, 1874. During Cleveland's first term he was sent to Nicaragua. Afterwards he was second officer on the Charleston, when she was cruising along this coast. I had lost sight of him for several years, but felt confident that he would turn up all right and give a good account of himself. A few days ago I was reading in the papers of Commodore Schley asking Lieutenant Glennon if he could shoot the Reina Mercedes in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. The lieutenant remarked, "If I can get my eye on her I can plunk her." The Massachusetts was moved forward a little, the lieutenant got his eye on her and did plunk her, sinking the vessel and killing, according to Spanish accounts, 15 men, but believed to be many more, as she carried a crew of 370 men. Yes, Jimmy Glennon is all right. I am proud to know that I was his teacher for a year and a half, and still prouder than that under our form of government, with the right kind of stuff it is possible for the poorest boy in our land to become skilled, useful and great. Schley or Sampson may get the credit of capturing or sinking one of Spain's formidable war vessels, but it was Lieut. Jas. Glennon, a California boy, who fired the shot with such precision that did the work. Yours, W. M. MCFADDEN. Placeatia, June 11, 1898. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity comdicted into a cloud of smoke, and opened all her batteries on the fortifications. In a very few minutes a shell struck in the ammunition and the tort blew up with a deafening roar. The work of the Baltimore was glorious. After the principal ships were destroyed the Concord, Raleigh and Petrel, being of light draft, were sent close in to handle the remaining vessels of the fleet. They made quick work of them. Several tugs and a large number of launches were captured. The vessels destroyed were three cruisers, eight gunboats and two torpedo vessels. The series of fortifications at Cavite, a neighboring arsenal and the fort on Corregidor island at the head of the bay, were captured. In taking possession of the land forts several hundred wounded soldiers fell into the hands of the Americans and nearly two hundred dead were accounted for on the spot. Holes in which numbers were hastily buried were found. The dead were returned to their relatives, as far as this could be done, and the wounded were cared for in the best manner by the American surgeons. The Spanish loss footed up 400 killed, 600 wounded and a property loss of anywhere from $6,000,000 to $10,-000,000. The day of the fight was clear and hot. Not a breath of air was stirring. After the first battle the Americans were greatly fagged by the heat, and the rest and breakfast allowed them by the commodore was of inestimable benefit. While the men were having breakfast, a conference of all the officers was held on board the Olympia, when the plans of the second battle were made known by the commodore. Several shots struck the Olympia, and she was pierced a number of times. One shell struck the side of the ship against the hospital ward. The chaplain and nurses were watching the fight through a port hole a few inches away and were stunned by the concussion. Experts have figured out that the fighting volume of the guns of the respective sides was three for the Americans against seven for the Spaniards. It is clear then that the superiority was in the ships and men themselves, the Americans having the experience and the nerve. Gunner Evans of the Boston was one of the men who sent the Spanish ships down to Davy Jones' locker. He directed the fire of one of the big guns on the cruiser. He was at all times greatly exposed, but did not receive a shot. Not a man in the Boston received a scratch. Mr. Evans states that throughout the battle the fighting force of the Boston, and, in fact, all of the ships were as cool as if on a May-day pleasure cruise. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The advocates of the dynamite gun as a weapon of warfare are urging the authorities there to bring the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius into more active service where she can demonstrate her ability against the fortifications of Santiago and other points of attack. The Vesuvius has on board three sizes of dynamite projectiles, namely those carrying 500 pounds of dynamite. 200 pounds and 100 shell from the Brooklyn is said to have burst under the Vizcaya's port quarter, dismounting a gun, injuring the cruiser's rudder and wounding several of her crew. MADRID, June 8.-It is officially asserted that the exact loss of the Spaniards at Santiago on Monday is as follows: Land forces, one soldier and five officers wounded, including Colonel Ordonez, slightly wounded. The second officer in command of the Reina Mercedes, five sailors and twenty-nine marines killed, and an officer and eleven sailors wounded. The official dispatches also say that many of the wounded, including Col. Ordonez, are able to attend to their duties. The first landing force by Americans on Cuban soil was effected at Guantanamo on Friday afternoon. The dispatch announcing the landing was written on ruins of a Spanish blockhouse beneath the folds of the Stars and Stripes. At 1:50 o'clock Color-Sergeant Richard Silvey, Co.C., First Battalion of Marines of the Brooklyn raised the American flag over the still smoldering ruins of the fort. As the marines landed the torch was applied to the houses at the direction of the officers, who took all safeguards possible to prevent yellow fever from breaking out among them. The landing was effected without the necessity of shelling the place, as they had been paved by the Yankee and Marblehead Tuesday, when a Spanish gunboat was put to flight and the blockhouse bombed. The Oregon and Dolphin joined the Marblehead and Vixen about noon. The Panther with 900 sailors and marines arrived under escort of the Yankee and Yosemite. The task of landing the marines with tents and supplies began immediately without ceremony. The frightened Spaniards had fled from the village at the first sight of the American warships. Shells from the Yankee and Marblehead demolished cable station. One solid shot cut their wires on the side of building and another smashed dry batteries and instruments inside. The landing is for the establishment of a naval base. It is no place for landing troops to operate against Santiago, but will be used as a rendezvous for the fleet. A special from Washington says it is known that Spain will soon make overtures for settlement of the war on a basis of return of the Philippines and Porto Rico and the independence of Cuba, but no indemnity.

For the tug Fearless $150,000 was paid, the tug Active $75,000, and the tug Vigilant $60,000. The collars Peter Jebsen and Whitgift, now the Brutus and the Nero, cost the government $215,000 each. The charter price of the Morgan City is $600 a day. The Senator and City of Puebla having been seized, must be returned intact, or their value, which is considerable, paid to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. It is regarded as probable that they were impressed because Senator Perkins is one of their owners, and no member of Congress can be party to a contract with the government. Importers are making a quiet and extraordinary effort to hurry all the tea possible into America before the prospective high war duty shall become effective, and at least four of the Northern Pacific Steamship company's fleet of large tea steamers are looked for to arrive at Tacoma this month with large cargoes of tea. In view of the fact that the government's securing these steamers for use as transports, it is inferred that the vessels may be loaded with tea at the nearest available point and rushed to Tacoma before July 1, saving thousands of dollars' duty, which would go to Uncle Sam after the war revenue law became operative, and at the same time hurry the boats along for service in embarking troops to Manila. The U.S. S. Monterey and her coal consort, the Brutus, supposed to be speeding on their way toward Honolulu and Manila, were sighted at San Diego at noon on Friday by passengers going south by train on the coast line. The ships were steaming south toward San Diego at a good rate of speed, the Monterey leading. They arrived off the harbor mouth at 3 p.m. and separated, the Brutus going about five miles south and anchoring near the Coronado islands, while the Monterey came in rapidly and dropped anchor at 4 p.m. off the coal bunkers, a great crowd being on the wharf to receive her. A cutter in which were Paymaster Rogers an additional indemnity at least equivalent to the value of these vessels. It has been realized all along that the Spanish admiral, rather than permit his squadron to be added to the United States navy, might at the last moment, when he saw that further resistance was useless, prefer to blow them up, perhaps going so far as to carry himself and crew along with them. It was assumed at first that if Cervera cared to do this nothing could be done to prevent it. Even now he may prefer to send his ships to the bottom, and let this country exact such reparation as it may see fit. The navy department hopes, however, to convince him by argument of the folly of doing anything so rash. The Richfield Oil company has filed articles of incorporation, with a capital stock of $500,000, divided into 50,000 shares, of which amount $50,000 has been subscribed. The directors are: G. Easton, San Francisco; G. W. Parsons, W. L. Valentine, L. Phipps and G. D. Easton, all of Los Angeles. The purpose of the organization is to drill wells, produce crude petroleum and other mineral substances, and to construct, manage and own oil tanks and pipe lines for the storage, sale and delivery of the same. A substantial evidence of self-sacrifice for the sake of their country is afforded by the taking up of military nurses' duties by the daughter of Secretary Long, Miss Margaret Long, and some of her chums at the Johns Hopkins medical school of Baltimore. The young ladies who go with Miss Long are Dorothy Reid, Mabel Austin, daughter of ex-Gov. Austin of Minnesota, and Mabel Sims. They have already reported to the naval hospital at Brooklyn to nurse wounded sailors who were sent up from Sampson's fleet on the Solace. Charles Fister, the wife murderer, was hanged in the court yard at Grant's Pass, Or., on Friday afternoon.

The investiture of the U.S.S. Monterey and her coal consort, the Brutus, supposed to be speeding on their way toward Honolulu and Manila, were sighted at San Diego at noon on Friday by passengers going south by train on the coast line. The ships were steaming south toward San Diego at a good rate of speed, the Monterey leading. They arrived off the harbor mouth at 3 p.m. and separated, the Brutus going about five miles south and anchoring near the Corona-do islands, while the Monterey came in rapidly and dropped anchor at 4 p.m. off the coal bunkers, a great crowd being on the wharf to receive her. A cutter in which were Paymaster Rogers and an ensign came ashore as soon as the boat could be launched, and Paymaster Rogers stated briefly that they simply came in to coal and water and would sail on Saturday afternoon at high tide for Honolulu. All were well on board. The Monterey coaled all night and proceeded on her way on Saturday afternoon. Captain Aarhaus of the German steamer Schleswig arrived in Philadelphia some days ago from Kingston, Jamaica, and was given a hearing before Collector of the Port Thomas for violation of the maritime laws in attempting to enter port without having obtained clearance papers from the custom officers of Kingston. After hearing his case, Collector Thomas decided that the captain should make a deposit of $500 for his liabilities pending final action. Aarhaus refused to deposit the sum and the case was referred to Washington for final action. Meanwhile the Schleswig is in the custody of the customs authorities. According to a dispatch from Kingston dated May 29th, Aarhaus openly expressed anti-American views while in that port, saying he hoped every American ship would be blown up and that the Harvard would be captured by Spanish. He is also credited with threatening to lie outside the port of Kingston and signal to the Spaniards whereabouts of the Harvard which was then at Kingston. When the agents of the Schleswig applied to Consul Dent for a bill of health the Consul Office had been closed for the night and the Schleswig sailed early next morning without necessary papers. This is punishable by a fine of $500. An investigation into the death of D. L. Ashby, the teamster who was killed near Los Alamitos on May 10, was held by the Los Angeles coroner at Artesia on Thursday. It had been the impression that Ashby, while driving his team from Compton to Los Alamitos on that date, fell asleep. While comtose he is supposed to have reached for the reins, which had fallen from his hands, and in so doing lost his balance, and falling between the horses' feet, became entangled in the reins. It is thought he was then dragged over rough ground for a half-mile or more, and in that way killed. His friends were not satisfied with that explanation of his death and demanded a further investigation. At the inquiry Thursday a man by the name of Drake testified that he saw footprints ten inches long by the side of Ashby's wagon when his dead body was found. The only man who could be found whose shoes would compare with these footprints, is P. Labordette, a saloon-keeper near Los Alamitos. He said Ashby had stopped at his saloon that day, and that they had a few drinks together. Ashby then left, and he saw no more of him. The other side apparently failed to make out a sufficient chain of circumstances against Labordette, upon whom they are said to have been trying to fasten the death of Ashby. The investigator at Washington can consider this pointed hint to the French ambassador is expected to bear fruit. There has been great activity, accompanied by repeated interchange of visits in last few days, at the Austrian and French embassies. Arthur Balfour's statement in the house of commons that Great Britain would be glad Mr. Cabinet is more hard-pressed time by the domestic than by the desperate sit-times in the war. This likely to result in the shedding of Spanish blood than is lost in actual operations among Americans.

Bixby of Long Beach, has just been announced. They were classmates at the University of California, where the acquaintance which developed a deep attachment was formed. The announcement of the engagement caused little surprise to their friends, and society generally has received it with pleasure. They will be married in September. Miss Green is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam T. Green of Dwight way, who are among the most prominent people in Berkeley. She was educated at a private seminary and later at the State University, from which she graduated with the last class. In the younger sets of Oakland and San Francisco society Miss Green is a great favorite. She has frequently led the germans of the Oakland Saturday Evening club, where she was one of the recognized beauties. She is a brunette, pretty and petite. Young Bixby was one of the most popular men at the University. He belonged to the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the Skull and Keys society, as well as a number of smaller clubs. He was a student in the College of Social Sciences, and while always prominent in society, he maintained a high scholarship. Since his graduation he has undertaken the management of the large property interests of his mother and sister at Long Beach, where he is now residing. After their marriage the young couple will make their home in the southern part of the State. The Navy department has sent orders to Admiral Sampson to notify Admiral Cervera that if the latter destroys his four armored cruisers and two torpedo boats to prevent them from falling into American hands, Spain at the end of the war will be made to pay At the weekly diplomatic reception at the foreign office in London on Friday Lord Salisbury remarked to different ambassadors that the British government is strongly of the opinion that those powers having greater influence with Spain should press her to initiate proposals for peace on terms which the government at Washington can consider. This pointed hint to the French ambassador is expected to bear fruit. There has been great activity, accompanied by repeated interchange of visits in the last few days, at the Austrian and French embassies. Arthur Balfour's statement in the house of Commons that Great Britain would be glad to contribute toward bringing about peace, but would act only if there is a reasonable prospect of success, fully bears out the view that no new proposition has been made, but it is declared positively in diplomatic circles that all possible pressure is being put upon Spain to abandon Cuba, and that nothing but fear of internal trouble prevents Premier Sagasta and the Queen from doing so. It is deemed that a change of government at Madrid must precede the opening of final negotiations. One of the most notable weddings in Maine this year will be the marriage of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris to General Henry Kyd Douglass of Maryland at Bar Harbor. Mrs. U.S.Grant will go to Sorrento this week to occupy the cottage as last year, and with her will go her daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, who also passed the last season at that fashionable watering place. The engagement of the daughter of General Grant and General Douglass is one of the romantic incidents of the present day. Gen.Douglass is one of the old-time soldiers and gallants and was a prominent figure in Bar Harbor life in the eighties. He has a very striking personality with decidedly military bearing, and is a millionaire. Gen.Douglass fought against the North in the civil war. He has just been appointed Assistant Adjutant-General, and is now in the South expecting to go to Cuba. He is the last surviving member of "Stonewall" Jackson's staff, and is one of the noted military men of the last war. Before Nellie Grant married Algernon Sartoris, Douglass was one of her admirers, and the gallant Confederate soldier has been very attentive since last summer, when he was at Sorrento for a few weeks and visited the Grants. It is said that before late in the fall the daughter of Gen.Grant will preside over the future destinies of the Douglass estate on the banks of the Potomac at Hagerstown.
