Our Navy's Prize Money. The large earnings in prize money already secured by all of Admiral Dewey's war vessels and by some of the vessels of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley have naturally attracted public attention. Hostilities, however, will have to last a long time before the navy can equal its prize winnings from 1861 to 1865, which amounted to nearly $12,000,000, derived from hundreds of captures, including many blockade runners. It may seem strange that sailors who capture a ship by firing a blank shot across her bow should reap a rich reward therefrom, while soldiers who reduce a town by assault that may cost a thousand lives get nothing. But the rule denying the army a share in the spoils is due to the abolition by civilized nations of the ancient sacking and looting of towns. The old-time incentive offered to prowess on the seas has remained to this day. The rule is that if the prize is of equal or superior force to the vessel or vessels making the capture all the net proceeds go to the captors; if of inferior force, one half to the United States and one half to the captors. Half the value of a neutral merchant ship trying to run the blockade or of an enemy's merchantman taken on the high seas, may seem a very large reward for the captors, since this kind of work is usually easy. But, like the moiety of informers under statute law, it rests on ancient usage, and that, in turn, on the value of an extra stimulus to vigilance. No one will dispute that while such a rule exists regarding captured merchantman, one other provision as to an enemy's warships is just. This is that a bounty is given to a ship which sinks or otherwise destroys an enemy's war vessel in an engagement. This bounty is $200 for each person on board the enemy's ship at the beginning of the engagement, if she is equal to or superior to our own force, and $100 dollars if she is inferior. If she is destroyed in the public interest immediately after capture, the bounty for each person on board at the capture is $50. Sometimes the question of inferiority or superiority and also of the enemy's complement may have to be one for judicial opinion. In dividing the total prize money, either for the merchantman or the warship, the division is made proportionate to the pay of officers and men, except that the commander of the squadron or fleet gets a twentieth part, and the commander of a single ship one tenth of his ship's share, unless acting independently of a superior officer, when he gets three-twentieths. For fleet captains and commodores of divisions there are also certain percentages. Her Boy was Dying. How a child was brought back from the brink of the grave to enjoy a healthy, happy childhood. One mother's advice for parents concerning the health of their children. The boy about whom this strange, true story is told wasted away till he seemed nothing but skin and bones. Then his health turned and he became fat and hearty. The first stage is familiar to many parents. The second is of deep interest to all parents or friends ofailing little ones. Fathers and mothers, who long to have their children healthy and happy cannot fall to sympathize and rejoice with Mr. and Mrs John F. Williams. Their comfortable home, a short distance from Damon, Ill., is happy now because of the wonderful events that are told in words eloquent with simple truth and gratitude, by the mother of the boy. "Our Josie was never strong," said Mrs. Williams. "From his birth he was weak and piny." Two years ago, when he was two years old, he had an attack of lung fever. Dr. N. A. Jones cured this fever, but the child did not recover strength. He began fading away beneath our eyes. He had no appetite, vomited a great deal, coughed continually, his limbs became withered. He became painfully weak and emaciated. We waited for his death. At this time a boarder named Asa Robinson suggested that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People would do the child good. They had cured Mr. Robinson of pneumatism and he believed in them. My husband bought three boxes of pills. We began giving Josie one-third a pill three times a day. In three days the child was bright His appetite was better. He began to show interest in toys and was less fretful. We increased the dose, giving him half a pill at a time. He gained every day in weight and appetite. At the end of this treatment, after taking three boxes, he was a new boy. He was happy, hearty, enjoying life with his little companions. I have no doubt that Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People saved him from an early grave." Mrs. Williams made affidavit to truth of her statement before David Cribb a Notary Public. Dr. A. A. McCabe examined the chick and made oath before Notary Mort Brook that he is now physically sound and well. The evidence is completed by Dr. A. Jones, who made affidavit before Notary George Rupp, that the child had been in the condition described by Mrs. Wiliams, as the result of catarral pneumonia. The action of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People on the blood and nervous system, in eliminating poisons and furnishing materials for new tissues, makes them sure remedy for wasting diseases and the low train of evils arising from disordered blooms and nerves. All druggists sell the pills one box for 50 cents; six boxes for $24. PEEP OF THE UNCO GUID. From the Orange Post. The ANAHEIM GAZETTE's account of the episode at the Orange county park last Sunday was evidently prepared for home consumption. The dancing, games, athletic contests and beer drinking on the Sabbath were glorified; the supervisor trying to talk against a brass band, the clinking of glasses and the hooting of hoodlums, was a busy body, a little man with a straw hat and a weak voice; the officers were two Mexicans, one of whom had had some trouble once at a ball in Anaheim, etc., A FREE SLAVE.

For fleet captains and commodores of divisions there are also certain percentages. It may be doubted whether prize money, as now reckoned and paid, will last through the twentyth century, as through centuries in the past. If the powers that took part in the Declaration of Paris of 1856 had acceded to our country's proposal for the exemption of private property at sea from capture, prize money would have received, in one of its applications, a hard blow. But even in blockade running and in battle it does not seem likely to be perpetual, and when it goes Jack will do his duty, like his brother in the army, for nothing but his regular pay. Meanwhile he will certainly win his prize money all through the present war, and a good deal of such money has been accumulated during the last six weeks.—New York Sun. VOICE OF THE PRESS. DOES THE ORIOLE DESERVE TO BE SHOT? From the Pomona Times. The Ontario Observer says: "The brilliant plumaged oriole is very much in evidence here at present. Unfortunately the beautiful bird is very destructive to fruit, and one rancher says he shot more than a dozen orioles in one day and dozens more came along to see what the row was about." Let the oriole have a hearing in court in this locality. He is not only a pretty bird, but according to high scientific authority a very beneficial one. We quote from Farmers' Bulletin No. 54 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture as follows: In summer this species is found throughout the northern half of the United States cast of the Great Plains, and is welcomed and loved in every country home in that broad land. In the northern states it arrives rather late, and is usually first seen or heard foraging amid the early bloom of the apple trees, where it searches for caterpillars or feeds daintily on the surplus blossoms. Its nest commands hardly less admiration than the beauty of its plumage or the excellence of its song. Hanging from the tip of the uttermost bough of a stately elm, it is almost inaccessible, and so strongly fastened as to bid defiance to the elements. By watching an oriole which has a nest may see it searching among the smaller branches of a neighboring tree, carefully examining each leaf for caterpillars and occasionally trilling a few notes to its mate. Observation both in the field and the laboratory shows that caterpillars constitute the largest item of its fare. In 113 stomachs they formed 34 per cent of the food and are eaten in varying quantities during all the months in which the bird remains in this country, although the fewest are eaten in July, when a little fruit is also taken. The other insects consist of beetles, bugs, ants, wasps, grasshoppers and some spiders. The beetles are principally click beetles, the larvae of which are among the most destructive insects known; and the bugs include plant and bark lice, both very harmful but so small as to be passed off public interest immediately after, but now I can eat anything." PEEP OF THE UNCO GUID. From the Orange Post. The ANAHEIM GAZETTE's account of the episode at the Orange county park last Sunday was evidently prepared for home consumption. The dancing, games, athletic contests and beer drinking on the Sabbath were glorified; the supervisor trying to talk against a brass band, the clinking of glasses and the hooting of hoodlums, was a busy-body, a little man with a straw hat and a weak voice; the officers were two Mexicans, one of whom had some trouble once at a ball in Anaheim, etc., etc. It might be shown that there are smaller men than the supervisor, that he has other kind of hats at home, that at least one of the officers (the custodian of the park) is no more Mexican than the editor of the GAZETTE; but really these questions are all foreign to the main issue of the violating law and the endangerment the title to the park. The editor of the GAZETTE took trouble to inquire about the condition in the deed, he knew no license had been issued and the sale of beer was patent to every body present; he should have said, "Boys, we have made a mistake, let us place ourselves on the right side of law and order." That would have been straight forward and to the point. Until those who aspire to lead the people take such a stand there will always be friction between the government and that part of the people who are misled. When a young man asks a father for his daughter's hand in marriage, if the father is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equally as important as the young man's morals, social and business standing and intelligence. A young man who suffers from illhealth has no right to marry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitutional tendency to acquire them is inherited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposition to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the air-passages which, if neglected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures 98 per cent of all cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals the delicate and sensitive tissues of the air-passages and lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expectoration, drives out all impurities and disease germs from the tainted blood and builds new and healthy tissues. Mr. John G. Born, of 4000 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa., writes: "Some thirty months ago I said to my wife, 'I don't want to keep anything from you. I must tell you I am in the last stage of consumption.' December 15th announced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I could then only speak in whispers. I have taken thirteen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. People are surprised to hear me speak. I can halloo, and my voice has not been as good in eight years. My stomach was never better. Forcibly I could not eat without suffering very immediately after, but now I can eat anything." A FREE SLAVE. She said to him her lover: "I would not hold you—no!

A new member of the senate wished complaining to an old member of some of the difficulties he was encountering: "For one thing," he said, "these new paper fellows don't always get things straight. I don't mean to accuse them of carelessness or of intentional misrepresentation, but now and then some markable stories are printed about me at home." "You'll get used to that," replied the veteran. "That won't hurt. That part of your apprenticeship. I've been all along there. Let me tell you of my little experience of mine. Soon after first came here I picked up a paper from my state and saw it asserted in a letter from Washington that my colleague and myself had met and arranged slate, and that all the patronage for this state would be distributed according to arrangement. "There was no warrant for the statement, and I made inquiries for the correspondent. He came to see me and proved to be a bright and most agreeable young man.

In little book, "About People," Mrs. Karen Gannett Wells gives the following stance of a lack of good manners: Snobbishness. A lady living in an unfashionable street invited a gentleman of leisure life to her home because in her sixty-six she thought he seemed lonely. He came, and at the close of the evening remarked to her: "I had no idea should meet so many distinguished people at your house," his voice uncoziously emphasizing the pronoun. In little book, "About People," Mrs. Karen Gannett Wells gives the following stance of a lack of good manners: Snobbishness is not confined to set of people. Emphasized by fashion or literary pretensions, it spreads far from village to city. It exists in sardine fries and in palatial mansions; it meets with at picnics and dances as well as at dinner or conversation parties. The links are close.

Whatever may be the policy of the United States toward the Philippine islands, the English capitalists whose investments give them a right to speak upon the conditions and needs of the islands are of one mind. Delegations of London men representing some of the most important interests in the Philippines have called upon Ambassador Hay to urge him to make representations to his Government of their desire that the United States retain permanent possession of the Philippines. They are agreed in the belief that with the guarantee of a stable government the Philippines would become a richer and even more desirable possession than they are now. They are agreed also in the belief that the Spanish rule is one which discourages business enterprises and repels capital, and that the legitimate profits of their business are mostly absorbed by direct and indirect bribes to Spanish officials. Without liberal investments to secure the favor of the ruling class, these gentlemen tell the ambassador that no business operations can be conducted under the regime of Spain. The position of the Phillipine capitalists is one which prevents them from making a public declaration of their views. Should the islands remain under Spanish sovereignty, that government might make conditions burdensome for business men who were on record as desiring a change and who had made revelations about Spanish misrule. They can make known their desires only through secret diplomatic channels, as they have done. Careful investigation by the most efficient engineers have proved that the gold deposits of the Philippines were among the richest in the world, and under conditions favorable to the development it is sure that the islands would surpass Australia and South Africa as a gold country.

This is her story: the true story of a well known resident of Springfield. She believed, as so many women believe, that fate controlled her life, her fortune, and her future. She had suffered a long time. She had vainly sought help here, there, and yonder. Day distressed her. Night no longer refreshed her, but brought only fifteen slumber haunted by frightful dreams. It was the hand of fate, she said. She drifted, drifted on into that wilderness of woman's woes that has driven thousands of her suffering sisters to the verge of self-destruction. Finally she came to look upon death alone as a source of relief. She hoped for it; longed for it. She courteed the fateful hour. One night she awoke with a start. She dreamed that when the hand on the dial of the clock should point to the third hour of morning she would die. Often she had suffered agonies and wished for death, but now—it was so sudden, so near, so very near! In that moment life became inexpressibly dear. How long had she to live? With a cry she sprang from her bed and ran to the clock. It lacked ten minutes of three. Only a few minutes more of life! With frenzied haste she grasped the hand of the clock and pushed it back, back from the fateful number. Then she stopped and almost swooned—but no, the tick of Pacific Coast Steamship Co.

With frenzied haste she grasped the hand of the clock and pushed it back, back, back from the fateful number. Then she stopped and almost swooned—but no, the tick of the clock should not make a coward of her. She would die at the fated hour—fate had decreed it, but a few moments still remained. In that time she would take leave of those dear to her. Rushing to her writing desk she seized her pen and attempted to write a note of farewell. It was useless. Words failed her. The blank sheet swam before her. Despairingly she turned her eyes from it to a newspaper that lay near at hand. In an instant her gaze riveted on the letters which were therein printed from Mrs. Anna Tuggle, of Cherokee City, Ark., Mrs. Emma Snyder, of Ames, Iowa, and Mrs. White of Stony Creek, N.Y. The reading of these letters brought new hope, new desires to live. She would make one more effort. She also would turn back the hand of fate and become a healthy, happy woman. That very hour she began to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and to-day there is no happier woman—no happier wife and mother—in all Springfield. This one woman is a type of thousands who suffer and submit in silence to the appalling fate which they, too, consider inevitable. For them all there is hope. For them all there is help. Let them resolutely turn back the hand of fate, that, according to their overwrought imaginations, is stretched out against them. Many a woman to-day is suffering constant pain, and sees the hand of death on the dial of time, who could be saved to a useful, happy life, if by some means her attention could be drawn to the wonderful cures of woman's ailments wrought by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The difference between Dr. Pierce's treatment and all others is the difference between EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE. A woman naturally shrinks from the experimental treatment which involves questioning and examinations that are repugnant to her delicacy and offensive to her modesty, and which at best result in mental misery and physical patchwork. And so she silently endures her suffering rather than submit to examinations and local treatment. Wonders are worked by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Nature is always struggling to build up the wasted and worn system. But she cannot make bricks without straw. The "Favorite Prescription" supplies the material that nature can use to repair the waste of the system and renew the vitality of the debilitated organs. When this is accomplished health comes along natural channels and comes to stay. No. 1508. SUMMONS. In the Superior Court of the county of Orange, State of California.
