V,’’You can't de -e pend on women, they ? et iu to ° Z* \’~ t , '£7xJl Often.” That was thc explanation of ji’ a business man, r_ /pSijMMM J who, contrary to thc /' ■ prevailing custom, ' employed male ste- nographers and type-writers. If every young woman would take the right care of her distinctly maidenly self, this complaint would never be heard. The woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the delicate feminine organs is unfitted for her duties, cither in the house or in the office. Young unmarried women, especially, do not like to confide their troubles of this nature to their home doctor. They shudder at the thought of the examinations and local applications to which they may have to submit Tiv. are < ntircly unnecessary, and all letters addressed to Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y., arc held in the most sacred confidence Dr. Pierce has been forth illy years chief consulting physician to the In valids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., one of the greatest medical institutions in the world. His neighbors made him congressman and he was a per sonal friend of the martyr president. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs of femininity, upon which depend a young woman’s health. Honest druggists don’t substitute I have recommended your ' Favorite Prescrip tion ' to a great many of my friends, and there has not been a single lady who used it. but was cured by it. It is the best medicine for females I have ev< i taken I tried four doctors and they did me no good They aid 1 was twiund to die ;’’ thus writes Mr, C.C. Clark, of N< w Rome, Floyd County. Georgia.

II WAS UNSUCCESSFUL But that Does Not Detract in the Slightest Degree from the Bravery of the Deed, New York. June 22.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: The following description of the heroic feat of Lieutenant Hobson in sinking the Merrimac at Santiago has been received at the navy department from Assistant Engi neer R. K. Crank, a former shipmate and personal friend of the gallant prisoner, whose exchange has been refused by the Spaniards. it is valuable as being the account of an eye witness as well as an officer of distin guished technical ability, who barely miss ed sharing Hobson’s fame as he started in to the harbor with the vessel when the first attempt was made, but was not al lowed to accompany her on the second trip, in spite of his earnest protest in be ing detached after he had volunteered and been accepted. it conclusively shows that the Merri mac’s mission was unsucessful. It had been decided to try to block the enrance to the harbor in order to bottle up the Spanish inside. On June 1, while the officers of the Mer rimac were sitting at luncheon Assistant Naval Constructor R. P. Hobson came aboard from the flagship with the startling announcement that the admiral had deci ded to run the Merrimac into the entrance of the channel leading to the harbor of Santiago and sink her there.. Mr. Hobson roughly outlined his plans and preparations were immediately begun for putting them into execution. The four transverse bulkheads of the ship were located approximately and their position marked on the port side of the ship at the rail. The length of the Mer rimac is 344 feet, her breadth of beam about forty-four feet as near as can be remembered. A line was run along the port side of the ship, parallel to the water line. This line was suported by hogging lines” that were run over the rail outside. Along this line were to be suspended in eight-inch copper cases ten charages of ordinary brown pris matic powder, each charge weighing about eighty pounds. Over this an ordinary ig niting charge of brown powde- was plac ed, and the whole was covered up with pitch for protection against the water, with a primer and wire for exploding the charges. The ship at this time contained about 2,000 tons of coal. As far as possible all stores were removed. About dark the powder charges were brought on board and lowered into position over the port side. The wire for exploding the charges was run and connected and the dry battery was made ready. The first plan contemplated the simulta neous explosion of all the charges. It was found that the battery on hand was not suffirent to explode with certainty only « of the charges, so only six were con nected. Meantime one of the ships anchors had liven taken and fitted to the star board and hauled over the rail, ready for droning as soon as the lashes were cut. The chain of the anchor had been led aft forty-five fathoms, led along the deck clear running, and the chain stoppered at the starboard bits. The starboard bow anchor and chain were also made ready in a similar manner for letting go. The cargo ports, of which there are two on each side, one forward and one after, were opened. The ship was drawing about sixteen feet of water aft, and there was about three feet of freeboard from the water to the lower edge of the cargo ports. Below, in the engine room, the nuts holding the bonnets of the main injunction valve and the sea suction valve of the big fire pump, were slackened off ready for In stant removal, and wooden props were wedged in on top of the bonnets so that af ter the nuts had been taken off one blow with a sledge hammer knock out the prop and allow the bonnets to fly off. Arrangements were made for cutting two pipes leading from the sea to the pumps and donkey boiler. All water tight doors were taken off from the athwartship bulkheads to give the water free access to all parts of the ship. Al these preparations were made with the greatest haste, as it was desired to send thes hip before daybreak on the morning of the 22(1. One of the lifeboats was to be towed from a line amidships on the starboard side. -All cans containing stores were knocked open. The officers and crew, with the exception of Captain Miller. Assistant Engineer Crank, Machinist J. Phillips, Ordinary Seaman iDeigan and Acting Water Ten der Kelley were on the flagship New York. The preparations 'were not completed un til nearly daylight. Finally all the pre parations were completed. The ship had been headed in only a very few minutes when she was directed to return by the flag ship. This recall was a great disap pointment to Mr. Hobson, who wished to go on and have the thing over with, de spite the daylight. This was daybreak on June 2. Word was sent to us in the engine room that the fires might be banked, and that the engines would not be needed further. It had been decided to postpone that attempt until the next night. Os course, the nervous strain had been very great on the men and had acted as a stimulous to keep them up. The men left their stations and the ship steamed out further from shore. She was separated from ail the fleet and in her abandoned, gutted condition certainly seeme 1 like a doomed vessel. The Marblehead came near th< ship abut 8 o'clock to get the personal effects of the officers, which hod. however, been sent aboard the Massachusetts the afternoon before. It was requested that some food be sent aboard as there had been none left on board and no means for preparing any. Some coffee and hardtack were sent aboard from the (Marblehead. This was all the men had until late in the afternoon, except those who went on board the flagship to rest and get something to eat. Boatswain Mullen went aboard the flasshtp and did not return for the second and final attempt. Seaman iMurpby. of ibe lowa, came aboard to take his place. The men lay around the ship most of the day attempting to get a little rest. Some very slight changes were made in the plans. About 1:30 o’clock Mr. Hobson came on the bridge. All the men who were to eo in with the ship. 'Montague, Gherett, Philips. Diegan. •Murphy and Kelley, were called up and given final instructions as to their duties. Everything was made ready below. The relief crew and myself were sent on board the Texas. The ship was steaming jn toward the entrance at ‘‘dead slow.” so as to enable the launch to go over to the Texas and then catch her. This was about 2:30 a. m. At about 3:15 the first shot was fired, coming from one of the guns on the bills to the left, (west) of the entrance. The shot was seen to splash seaward from the Merrimac, having passed over her. The firing came general very soon, and after being especially fierce and rapid from the battleship inside on the left of the har bor. probably from batteries on Smith bay. The flashes and reports were apparently those of rapid fire guns, changing from small guns to 4-inch or larger guns. For fifteen minutes a perfect fusilade was kept up. Then the fire slackened and by 3:ao had almost ceased. A close watch was kept on the mouth of the harbor in order to pick up the steam launch. There was a little desultory firing until about 3:45. At about 5:15 the launch was seen steam ing from west to east across the mouth of to westtashradoa roar aor dorda oradoada the harbor. She steamed back from east to west and then began skirting the coast to the west of the entrance. 'Mr. Powell came along side the Texas and reported that no one had come out of the entrance of the harbor. His words sounded like the death knell of all who had gone in on the Merrimac. It seemed incredible, almost impossible, that any of them could have lived through the awful fire that was directed at the ship. There was probably none in the fleet who did not think all seven of the men had perished. In the afternoon, much to rhe surprise of every one a tug, flying the flag of truce, was seen coming out of the entrance. The Vixen, flying a table cloth at the fore, went to meet the tug. A Span ish officer went aboard the tug and was taken aboard the flagship. Not long after a signal was made that Murphey, of the lowa, was saved and was a prisoner of war. About 4 o’clock an other signal was made from the flagship: “Collier’s crew prisoners of war. Two slighly wounded. Al well.” It can easily be imagined what relief this signal brought to all hands who had been mourning the death of all the men. The Spanish officer said also that the prisoners were confined in Morro castle. He said further that Admiral Cervera considered the attempt to run and sink the iMerrimac across the channel as an act of such bravery and desperate daring that he thought it only proper that our admiral should be notified of the safety of these men. Whatever the motive for sending out the tug with the flag of truce, s he act was a graceful one and one of most chivalrous courtesy. The Spanish officer is reported as saying: “You have made it more diffi cult, but we can still get out.” From the bearings of the Merrimac, whose masts and smoke pipes could be plainly seen, taken in the afternoon, it appears that she is lying with Tier bow to seaward just above Estrell’s Point, with her stem swung around until she lies almost parallel of the direction of the channel. From the fact that she is completely submerged, except her mast and smoke stacks, it would seem that she is sunk some little distance from the right bank. However, she is not lying across the channel. So far as blockading the channel the attempt cannot be said to be successful. It is probable that-the an chor on the starboard quarter carried away the stoppers on the chains and also the bits, which were not very securely fastened ■in the deck. And the chain must have cut through the rail as far as the midship sec tion of the ship. This would have permit ted the stern to swing entirely around and lay up and down the channel. According to the Spanish report of the affair sent to 'Madrid, one of the big American liners at tempted to force the entrance of the har bor and had been sunk in the channel by the batteries, and that only seven of the crew escaped. Whether a failure or suc cess, the attempt of the Merrimac will un doubtedly go down in history as one of the bravest and daring deeds in naval annals. 'Mr. Hobson and the men under him were fully alive to the desperate if not hopeless nature of the expedition and their small chance of escape from death. There was no shrinking. On the contrary, there was the greatest eagerness to be alowed to go with the ship. The steady refusal of Mr. Hobson to have more on board than was absolutely indispensable for the bare dis charge of the duties required, showed how well he appreciated the danger. He de clined to grant the persistent and earnest entreaties of a number of young officers who begged permission to go. It well now tljat he went alone and that all the honor and praise are his.

Washington, June 23.—<An almost total stoppage of the money order business on July 1, it is said, has been averted by an agreement between the. officials of the treasury and the postoffice departments, that the law does not require stamps to be affixed to domestic money orders. It would be impossible, say the officials, to supply stamps by that date. As con strued by the officials the law requires simply an additional charge of the value Os the stamps to be made when the money order is issued. The paragraph of the war revenue law in regard to money order? reads as follows: "And from and after the first day of July, 1898, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply as well to original domestic money orders issued by the government of the United States, and the price of such money orders shall be increased by a sum equal to the value of the stamps herein provided for.’’ The latter portion of the passage is ta ken to mean that stamps are not to be used. This construction of the law will obviate the use of about 32.0(h),0000 stamps each year, that being the approximate number of money orders issued annually. A circular to postmasters at money order postoffices has been prepared by the post office department directing them to follow this ruling. The blank application now in use need not be changed and not until the stock in hand is exhausted will any change apear in money order blanks. rhe., nie.i Dr Williams' Indian Pile Ointment will •ure Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Pile* when all other Ointments have tailed.

DELICACIES MUCyWEO Sick Sailors are Very Grate ful to the Ladies of the Country. LETTER FROM THE SURGEON In Which He Tells of the Comfort Afforded to the Sick—Fighting Bob Endorses It. Washington, June 23—Surgeon General Van Reypen, of the navy, has received a number of letters from his officers on board the ships of Admiral Sampson’s squadron, testifying to the gratefulness and appreciation with which the delica cies sent for the sick and wounded have been received. These delicacies were made up of the fruits of various kinds, etc., were pur chased by the contributions received by the surgeon general from several of the associations throughout the country which have been raising funds for. that purpose. The following is a sample of the many letters received. It is from Surgeon Gen eral M. H. Simons, of the lowa, dated June 15, and is in acknowledgment of sta tionery, for the men and fruits for the sick. The letter says: “If the ladies who sent them could see how they are appreciated by the poor fel lows who have had nothing of the kind for nearly two months during which time they have been continuously aboard ship in a temperature of between 80 and 90 degrees, they would understand better than I can tell them how refreshing the fruits are and how grateful all are for the angelic thoughtfulness which prompted the send ing.” Captain Evans, of the lowa, made the foilowig indorsement on this letter: “Dr. Simons has stated it very mildly. Being for the moment one of the sick ones, I can feelingly testify and do most willing ly and gratefully express my thanks and those of my ship’s c’ompnay for the de lightful presents.” - A letter from Surgeon Thomas H. Streets, of the Solace, says that that ship arrived at Guantanamo on the 13th in stant, just in time to take aboard the ma rines who had ben wounded in the battel at that place. 'Afterwards the ship went to the vessels of the squadron and collect ed their sick. There were only nine sick on all the vessels of the squadron and they were transferred to the Solace. Subsequently the Solace returned to Guantanamo and took on board the Insurgents who had been wounded in the fight. Surgeon Streets in this letter takes occa sion to express the grateful appreciation of the medical corps for the pajamas do nated to the ihip through Mrs. Francis iH. Catlin, of -Morristown, N. J. They were particularly serviceable, he says, for the use of the wotinded marines. War shoes at Mix Shoe Co., not 186.1 but up-to-date 1898 kind.
