BRfIVR OLD SCHLEY A Letter From the Lioc hearted Horn of Santiago. i|E LOVES HIS PEOPLE A r.d Is Proud to Serve Them In Any Capacity. Burlington, 10., Aug. 16 AV. W. Baldwin, of this city, is in receipt of a letter from his personal friend, Commodore Schley, which he prizes very highly. It is as follows: "U. S- S. Brooklyn, Guantan amo Bay, Cuba, Aug. 4,1898. My Dear Mr. Baldwin. Thank you for your note. The clipping of poetry inclosed is very clever. J am much touched by the uni versal exprtssions reaching me by every mail. I think I am fairly well balanced, but I shall have to keep my ‘lifts and brac es’ pretty square or I run soma risk of being spoiled by this general acclaim of praise. I felt honored by any place in the line that morning where I could best serve my people and my coun try, for I have loved them with purity and intensity all my life, and God bless them. As long a s lam given strength to act for them anywhere, no matter at what sacrifice, I stand readv for their service or defense. Again thanking you, my dear friend, 1 am very sincerely yours, W. 8. Schley. SUNDAY FIGHT SpauiarOpsedned Fire And Were Repulsed As Usilal FLAGS OF TRUCE FLYING Over Both A'mles Down In Por to Rto.

Aug. 16.—The for eign office, it is reported here, though ihe report as yet lac ks co ifirmatic n, intends to demand that the Chinese government dismiss Prince Li Hung Chang from power on the groued that he is responsible for the recent anti-Brit’sh attitude of the Tsung-Li-Yamen. The foreign office, it is also asserted, has had under special consideration the question of seizing the Taku forts on the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, at the mouth of the Pekin river, and the city of Tien-Tsin, the port of Pekin, in the event of China refusing tu comply with the demand, holding all until compliance is issued. Meanwhile the semi-official Journal de St. Petersburg, in to day’s issue, deprecates the tone of the British press and savs : “Russia does not contemplate further acquisitions in the far East. Her only object is to pre serve the advantages recently gained. The Russian govern ment does not desire to injure the economic interests of Great Britain any more than those of mit other power.” Bottled Up! Whether in the form of pill powdei •r liquid, the doctor’s prescription foi blood diseases is always the same— mercury or potash. These drugs bottlt up the poison and dry it up in the system, but they als > dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time. The suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way to a stiffness, the rack ing pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the bones ache, while decrepitude and helplessness prema turely take possession of the body, and it is but a short step to a pair of crutches. Then comes falling of the hair and decay of the bones, —a con dition truly horrible.
