is for each individual to exercise the ut
most care'in regard to himself. (He should
eat only chan food that is well cooked,
and that at regular intervals.
‘Gnat care should be taken both aS to
drinking water and that used for ibathing

like that of Cuba, not sleep on the ground,
if he can possbbly help it. To keep dry is
one of the principal essentials of health

"(As soon as the army shall be iput on a

ready as the army.”
Colonel Hartsuff has had a long and
eventful experience. He entered the army
as an assistant surgeon immediately after
the fall of Fort Sumter, and has been in
the government service ever since.
He w as assigned to duty at iNew Orleans
during- the cholera epidemic of ’(56, and
again when that city suffered from the
scourge of yellow fever in ’67. He was
■Rationed for many years on the Pacific
coast, and was medical director for the
department of Alaska, with headquarters
at Sitka, from 1870 to 1872.
Colonel Hartsuff is abundantly equipped
mentally and physically, for the arduous
duties that will very probatbly befall him.
He is extremely popular with both officers
and im'n, all of whom have implicit con
fidence in his (peculiar fitness for the very
difficult position he occupies.

PRIVATEERS AS PIRATES.
Spain Has frem Time Immemorial Been the
Greatest of Them All.
Spain has said that she will treat pri
vateers as pirates.
She is herself the chief privateer of the
world’s history. She is the great bucca-’
neer. '
Not only had Spain commissioned pri
vateers in every war she has ever had,
but the Spaniards were proud of the his
tory of the Spanish main, with its daring
duds of piracy, it has (been asserted that
Spain’s privateers had always made for
Spain more money titan she expended in
her wars..
Not only’had she sent her privateers in
her own wars, but Spanish privateers fig
ured verly largely in wars between coun
tries as to which Spain was supposed to
be neutral.
At the time of our war with (Mexico, not
withstanding the fact that the United
States issued no letters of marque, the
Atlantic Ocean and the Mejiteranean Sea
were filled with Spanish vessels, com
nianded by, Spaniards and manned by
Spanish seamen, which preyed upon the
commerce of the United States.
An investigation by this government, de
veloped a remarkable state of facts. At
Spanish ports there were held for sale
blank commissions from the Mexican gov
ernment. and these commissions were pur
chased by the owners of Spanish vessels,
who. after buying the commissions, char
tered ships for the expressed purpose of
privateering. These Spanish boats made
prizes of all American ships that ven
tured into the Mediterranean or too close
to Spain or Spanish islands.
As early as 1819 Spain and Portugal add
ed a new principal to the law of nations,
when they declared that the commander of
an artne»l Vessel of one nation had a right
to visit and search the merchant vessels
of another nation in time of peace. Spain
lias constantly carried this out from that
day to this, although every other civilized
nation has absolutely repudiated the doc
trine.

TIME HERE AND IN MANILLA,
Noo is 1:27 the Morning Before in the
Philipines.
«
As public attention is now directed to
the war operations in the Philippine Is
lands, the difference of time between this
country and that far-off region of the
world tbecome a matter of considerable in
terest. These islands are almost on the
opposite side of the earth from us, and
hence nearly in a direction under our feet,
ftft’hen it is day with us, it is night there,
and vice versa.
The exact difference of time between
Macon and Manila is ten hours and thirty
three minutes, reckoning westward from
Macon, or thirteen hours and twenty
seven minutes reckoning eastward. Theo
retically, the new day tbegins at midnight
on the 180th meridian, reckoning from
Greenwich, and travels westward.
As the Philippines are west of this line,
the international date line is arbitrarily
hours, twenty-seven minutes ahead o.f
ours, Ibut an arbitrary bending of the in
ternational date line from the 180th meri
dian, the iPhilippines are included in the
region east of this line, and hence practi
cally the time at Manila is ten hours thir
ty-three minutes behind the time at Ma
con. So that, if you wish to find the time
at tManila, imagine that your watch be
turned backward ten hours thirty-thfee
minutes.
For instance , the reader who looks at
his watch at 8 o’clock on Thursday morn
in iMacon will know that it is 9:27 o’clock
on Wednesday night at ‘.Manila. As time is
actually reckoned in the Philippines. As
teh international date line is arbitrarily
made to ibend around the Philippines the
effect is to make the time one day behind
that at Hong Kong, which is almost in
the same longitude. From the dispatches
which we have so received it seems that
the battle of Manila was fought, according
to the reckoning of the Spaniards in the
Philippines, about daybreak on Saturday
in .Macon. But as the time at Hong Kong
is one day ahead of that in the Philippines
the dispatches from that point gave Sun
day morning as the date of the battle.
So that if we wish to get the time at
■Manila acording to the way the people of
that city reckon it, we must turn our
watches back ten hours and thirty-three
minutes, and if we wish to get the time at
Hong Kong, according to the way the peo
ple of that city reckon it, tve must turn
our watches forward just thirteen hours.
The difference in time 'between Macon
and Madrid is five hours and ten minutes,
that of Madrid being ahead. When it is
noon at Macon it is 5:10 p. m. at Madrid.
There is a bit of interesting historical
information connected with the discovery
and .possession of the Philippine Islands
by the Spaniards which is not generally
known. In the fifteenth century Spain
and Portugal quarreled about the posses
sion of the lands discovered by their navi
gators. The matter was referred to the
Pope, who directed that the line of no
magnetic variation should be the boundary
between them. Al lands discovered to the
eastward of this line were to belong to
Portugal, all to the westward to Spain.
Spain was determined to possess herself
of some of the East India Spice Islabds,
but she could claim thpm only by mak-ing
it appear that they were to-the .westward
of this line of "no variation." which at
that time was near the 50th meridian.
Ht nee Magellan proposed in the interest
of the King of Spain, to reach iMaluccas.
by sailing westward. His voyage resulted
in the first circumnavigation of the gksbe.
As the Spaniards reached the Philippine
by sailing westward they carried their
time reckoning with them, and they still
retain it, although it is theoretically in
correct and one day later than that of
their neighbors, who brought their time
with them from the opposite direction.

The general conference of the Metho

are there l .
There is usually a great deal to be done
by a general conference, the sessions be

ty-seven conferences, making a total of
those attending of more than 400.
The delegates from the South Georgia
conference were elected at the last meet

and G. G. N. MacDtonell, Waycross. Mr.
Adams wired one of the alternates, Hon.
N. E. Harris, of Macon, of his inability to
attend the conference, and that gentleman
wijl also probably represent the South
Georgia Conference. Mr. Adams had
hoped no be able to attend, hut found at
the last moment that it would be impossi- '
ble.
The delegates who attend the conference
represent more thanl,Boo.ooo communi

those who attend are the bishops. Tw*o
or throe vacancies on the board of bishops
will be filled. The ccnference will be pre
sided over by the senior bishop, Rev. Dr.
J. C. Keener.
Several matters of grave importance are
to come before the conference, among
them the consideration of the plan that
will be submitted by a board of arbitration
for the better disposition of the forces of
ttw .*'Mt'iodi;-t churchs. North and South.
The two bodies are anxious to avoid a con-,
flir t in their jvork. and this can only be
done by an understanding being reached
as to what "-hall be considered the legiti
mate territory of each. The best results '
■have- been prevent!d in the past by the i
tun churches working in the same states
ami often in the same localities. This has
hampered the growth of one or the other,
and it is proposed to come tv srme agree

its own territory. j
• The agreement it is desired to have '
reached by the conferences of the two
churches will require some time to be con

Why Horseflesh Is Good Food.
Everybody is nwnro that the horse is the
cleanliest of all domestic animals. It will
not eat anything but good, healthy food
nor drink nny but pure water. A horse
would rather starve than swill the rotten
stuff often given to pigs and cattle. Lt is
nothing but prejudice that prevents us
from eating horseflesh. A similar preju
dice retarded the introduction of the po
tato 100 years ago. e Today wo cotild not
get along without it. Yet the prejudice
against potatoes can bo explained. The
people had been told that this American
root caused fever and rendered the ground
unfit for all other crops. The exception
against horseflesh is not even founded
upon any objection to its properties. It is
solely due to the influence of the church.
The clergy did everything possible to
prevent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use of horseflesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued. The na
tions of Europe have suffered enormous
loss by this prohibition of horseflesh.
Especially from the humanitarian point
of view the ronlts are most deplorable.
Millions of people are forced to live on po
tatoes and similar food wanting in nutri
tive qualities, while millions of pounds of
the very best meat are wasted. Horse
flesh is the most nourishing of all meats,
and its taste is hardly to be distinguished
from that of beef The flesh of a horse
fed .on oats has a smell similar to goose
flesh. The fat is preferable to lard. Above
all, it should bo remembered that no flesh
is so healthy as tiiat of the horse. Trich
inosis and similar diseases are unknoftvn
in horses.—Golden Penny.
HE KNEW MISS FILKINS.
How » Little Salt Became Comiuauder
Marix’n Messenger.
That charming Cleveland favorite,
Grace Filkins, who will ho so pleasantly
remembered in "Shore Acres," is now
supporting Charles Coghlan In “The
Royal Box.” She is the wife of Lieuten
ant Commander Adolph Marix, the judge
advocate of the naval court of inquiry
which investigated ihe di struction of the
battleship Maine. Li< utenant Commander
Marix was formerly the executive officer
of the Maine, and was continued as such
until within three weeks of the time the
battleship was sent to Havana, when he
was detached for shore duty.
When Commander Marix was first as
signed to the Maine, ho and Miss Filkins
had just become engaged to be married,
and the naval oCieer was much in love
with the lady. Commander Marix desired
a ship’s messenger and ordered a second
lieutenant one day to range up all the lads
in the ship, that ho might select a mes
senger from them. A dozen youngsters
soon stood in Commander Maris’s cabin,
all eager to be examined, for to L>e mes
senger for the executive officer was a cov
eted honor.
In the row of lads Commander Marix
noticed one little fellow staring with wide
open eyes at a picture of Miss Filkins on
his desk. This somewhat surprised him,
and it pleased him too. When this young
ster’s turn came to be interrogated, he
stepped forward, but did not remove his
eyes from the photograph. He answered
intelligently, but somehow his gaze could
not 1 e divertixl from the lady’s picture.
Finally the commander asked, "Do you
know this lady, young man?"
"Yes,” piped the little salt; “that’s
Miss Filkins. ’’
"How do you know Miss Filkins?"
"My mother washed for her for nine
years, sir."
It is needless to say that the little ap
prentice was given the post of messenger
to the lieutenant commander. This boy’s
name was Kogel, and abou* 18 months ago |
he was lost overboard in a storm off Cape !
Hatteras. A great wave boarded the ship i
and sent the lad into the sea. Four or five
men sprang overboard in the midst of the
storm to rescue the lad, ami all were saved
but poor little Kogel, who was sucked
down by the heavy sea and never seen
again. It is a noteworthy fact that two
sailors of those who went overboard in the
storm after this boy were lost from the I
ship for over two bouts and finally were
sa' ed, after having been almost washed
aboard of her by a great 6ea.—Cleveland

The Criticism
On clothing made by us is always "ivor
ble. Men who have been for years adicted
to the “ready made” habit succumb to th<
fascination of a perfect fitting suit when
they learn that it costs no raore than the
other kind
our dijpaj of suhings and trouserings
for summer wear is worth looking at.
Come in and see the prevailing styles. We
won’t ask you to order.
W# spare our customers much trouble in
fitting, etc., but we don’t spare ourselves.
The utmost care is taken to make gar
ments that are satisfactory to our cus
tomers.
