Depends groutly on the care
which the owner bestows upon it. A
good watch, if CAItEL'L'LLY CLEANED
and OILED once a year, as it should be,
will last a lifetime; yes, a hundred
years. Many good watches are al
lowed to go without cleaning and oil
ing for years, with the result that the
oil is entirely dried up, the pivots are
cut and rusted out, eo that it costs
twice as much to put the watch in
proper condition again as it would if
given timely attention. 1 have a long
established reputation for serving my
customers carefully, as well as doing
the best of work, if your watch is
not giving satisfaction, bring it to me
and I will tell you just what it needs.
No charge for examination, and if left
with me, I guarantee that you shall
have an accurate and reliable TIME

Intelligence comes from Timur
peninsula in North Siberia that the
remains of a baloon and three skele
tons have been found there,which may
bo all that is left of the brave Andre
and his party. These dauntless men
started on their perilous trip July 11,
18!7.
Am 3POS of the attack on Iloilo and
the inauguration of an aggressive cam
paign General Otis telegraphs that he
had attacked and scattered a collec
tion of the insurgents at Caioocan,
where they were preparing to gather
in force for another stand. They were
easily dispersed with slight loss to
our troops.
President McKinley calls the at
tention of congress to the immediate
necessity for a cable to the Philip
pines by way of the Sandwich Ii-lands
and Guam, all embraced in our recent
acquisitions. The work may be taken
up a private enterprise or by the gov
ernment. About two years will be re
quired to complete it.
Chairman Cannon of the appro
priations committee of the lower house
gave notice Thursd-iy that the full
amount of revenue in sight for the
next year would be consumed by the
appropriations already made, or im
mediately required, and that he cju'.d
not favor tbe passage of the Nicaragua
canal bill until greater time for dis
cussion and for providing for the large
outlay cou'.d be had than now re
mained before the close of the present
session. He announced himself a the
friend of the canal but said that the
bill should not be passed at ttiis ses

AOL'IN.VLDO s iil-tim d and treach
erous attack on OU:- troops at Manila
resulted in u -b a complete overthrow
that ho will tind it dtflicult to lal y
his forces for any forraidab e effo t in
the future. And now it is our turn to
take the initiative. Generil Miller
hns been re inforced bofoie Iloilo, and
General Otis notifies the government
at Washington that an ultimatum
had been sent demanding the sur
render of that place by Friday (yes
terday) at 9 o'clock. In all probabil
ity that important position is already
in the hands of our troops. Rapid,
aggressive work, that will stun and
da?e the insurgents and permit no
time for recovery, is the most merci
ful policy and will prove the least de
structive of human life in the end.
OUR RANK UPON THE SEA.
The United States now occupies a
position o; fifth rank in the potential
ity of it9 shipping engaging in the for
eign carrying trade. Great Britain,
Germany, France and Norway taking
precedence in the order named. The
bill now in congress to give new life to
the building of ships in the United
States, to be owned and manned by
our own citizens, and to engage in
competition with the foreign ships
that now monopolize our foreign car
rying trade, will, in a few years so it
is believed by those best informed
give to this country at least second
rank upon the sea, in tho volura9 and
potentiality of its shipping.
Any Jay the bill introduced in tbe
house of rc presentatives by Mr. Payne,
of New York, and which has been re
ported favorably by the proper com
mittee, may be passed in that branch
of congress, and trim thenco go to the
senate, whore an identical bill. Intro
duced in that branch of congress by
Senator Hannn, has also beon favor
ably reported, and through which
body its early passage is predicted.
At the end of the decade, if the sn
called Hanna-I'ay no shipping bill
parses congress and receives the ap
proval of tbo president, wo shall
probably see the United States in a
battle rojal with Great lirilaiti for
fcupremacy upon the sea. Already
thi country possesses the materials
used in enipbuildinr in greater abun
dance than any other nut on. '1 his
material can bo placed in our ship
yard cneiper than It can in
any
other hhipvards in the world. All

through the encouragement oi oo
structives in tho senate, an army o
half-savage revolution i.-ts
gathered
and attacked our lines. The result is j
a new story to relate or ribl-, lnvn ;

Our army anil navy at Manila have
fought a succession of peculiar battles.
It might be easy, in view d our uni -
form success, to uuderate the diHiculty j
and danger of these conflcts. Dowey
hed no decisive advantage over tin;
Spanish fleet in ships. guri3 or num
bers. Since he had to run past bat
teries, risk torpedoes and fight strong
forts along the shore, the advantage
in resources was on the other side.
Yet he dared all and wiped out. ihe
enemy. Before the capture of Manila
tbe Spanish carricon made a desperate
night sortie during a tronhical temp
est and yet were driven back by our
men in the trenches, a thin iine, but
th3re to do or die. Tli ) b.ttb' ju.-t

that whisky, instead of being an anti

F
rEW men have known more than
Ilenjamln Franklin, says a writer
in tho Century, yet a few have had less
education, in the common sense of the
word. For moro than two years (at
tho age of eight to ten) ho went to a
grammar school and a private school
in IJoston; for the other four-tcore
years and more of his life he learned
without a teacher. His father's li
brary was small, but the lad himself
spent the little money that came into
his hands on cerious booksahd pimph
lets. Having proved deficient in
arithmetic in his early youlh ho aftor
w n dr. made a special study tf mathe
matics, and for some time amusrd him
s lf b. c instructing all sorts of mag
ical squares and ci cles, with rows of
lig'.res that would add upali .e.w ici,
:vr way they were couutel. Ii this
connection Mr. Fo d a cell . ducatee
niiin l.imcelf, in ihat bis only school
w .s lih f.th.a's i.i mouse private li-b-
arv has this to s y:
"His eiwn t xperieiiee served le teach
Frai-kl u thai n stroi g mind nt e is no
schoo:i g to devc b p it, and thai a
poor mind is n l a-rengthene-a by
-lu'ly. I'Oir Kicha.-d a-s -rted 'a
j learned blockhead is a greater back
bond ih .n an ignorant one,' and
claimed that of learned fools I have
seen ten limes ten; of unlemned wise
men I have s-en a hundred.' Yet
Franklin was f ir from showing the
usual contempt ef lh self taught man
for i.n acedomic education. On his
settling in Philade'phia ho found two
things which ho regretted, and one of
these was 'there being no provision
for the complete education of youth,
I therefore in 1743 drew up a proposal
for establishing an academy.' "
Tho academy was duly founded, but
in time it becami a hot-bed of politic,
and its rector an active opponent of
Franklin himself.
Many years before his death Frank
lin wrote the following epitaph for his
own tombstoue: "The body of Menja
rain Franklin, printer, (like the cover
of an old book, its contents torn out,
and stript of its lettering and gilding)
lies here, food for worms. Yet the
work itself shall ntit bo lost, for it will
appear once more in a new and more
beautiful edition, corrected and
amended by the Author."'
Franklin, when near the close tif his
life, in tho constitutional convention
of 17iS7,mado a speech in fave of daily
public prayers.
"In th.i beginning of tho contest
with Britain, when we were sensible
ef danger, we had daily pi ayers in
thi room for the Divine protection.
Our pr.iyeis, sir, wore heard, and they
wore graciously answered. Allf f us
who were engaged in the stiuggle
must have observed frequent instances
of a superi -itendinij- Providence in our
favor. To that kind Providence we
owe this happy opportunity of consult
ing in peace ou the means of establish
ing our future national felicity. And
have we now forgotten this powerful
friend? or do we imagine we no longer
need His assistance? I have lived, sir,
a long time, (eighty-one years) and
the longer I live the mora convincing
proofs I see of this truth that God
governs in the affairs ef man. And if
a sparrow c in not fall to the grounel
wiih His notice, is it probable that an
em nire can rise without His aid? We
h .ve been assuret, si;-, in tbe sacred
w:i ings th.it 'except tl.e Lord build

Thomas Paine, who was proposing
the publication of the Age of Reason,
submitted it to Franklin's perusal.
This is the message he sent Paine
when he returned the manuscript:
"I would advise you not to attempt
unchaining the tiger, but to burn this
piece befote it is seen by any oth-r
person. If men are so wicked with

To Honor Dewer.
The Rutland (Vt.) Herald says it is
proposed to honor Admiral Dewey in
Vermont by erecting a "Dewey Hall,'
to be used for drilling purposes in the
state's military institution, Norwich
university. This Institution has Ions
been a military school, ami many of
the officers of the civil war were anions
its graduates. It is likely that the
legislature will appropriate a sum to
ward the addition of this hall te the
university, and it Is propesed also to
raise money by popular subscription
for the same purpose. This will be
open to contributions out of the state
as well as in it, and those interested
i in honoring Admiral Dewey will find
a fitting opportunity to do so by aiding
