The United States naval supply
steamer Solace made the run from
Norfolk to Manila, 11,070 knots, in
forty-three days, averaging in the
open coa a speed of sixteen and one
half knots an hour. It is believed to
bo the best long-distance voyage on
record.
As A result of the unlawful manner
in which saloon-keepers of Kearney
have been conducting their business,
the matter of license or no license was
submitted to the voters at Tuesday's
election and tho anti-license ticket
carried. Kearney will probably have
no saloons next year.
Pon the first three months of this
year tho failures for the nation aggre
gated $26,GS0,000, while during the
same time in 1808 they were $31,710,
000, in 1807 they were $48,008,000, and
in 1896 thov were $57,252,000, over
twice what they were this year. The
showing i9 a prosperous one.
The mild (?) roast3 which V. J.
Bryan has been getting from one end
of the country to the other because of
his recent sacrilegious remark that a
Jeffersonian dinner is to a democrat
what the Lord's supper is to a Chris

"colonel" is given sufficient rope he
will do the rett.
The latest invention is glass pipe.
A glass factory at Port Alleghany,
Pa., is now preparing to manufacture
glass pipe of all sizes for use as sewer,
water or gas mains. An Ohio com
pany is putting in 100 miles of the
glass mains as an experiment, and a
practical test of the system will be
made. The old world still moves a
little now and then.
The demand in Europe for Ameri
can corn is increasing every year, and
if we only had a corn propaganda- to
help matters along a trille 'he demand

soon send the price up to the figure it
should be. In ISSMi. England took 57,
000,000 bushels, while novv,she requires
81,000,000 bushels per year. Germany
took 20,000,000 bushels in 1S96, while
now she wauts 33,000,000 bushels, and
so with all the other countries. Corn's

A vessel sailed from Cuba for the
United States last week bringing
home the bodies of G50 American sol
diers who have fallen victims to dis
ease and wounds while in the service
of their country, and the dispatch
which announces the fact states that
another will soon follow with 500
more, and that these aro but the be
ginning of a long funeral procession
that will be one feature of our occupa
tion of the island off our coast from
which we have driven Spain we all
known, says the Beatrice Express.
From the Philippines, too, wo shall
bring homo our dead, if it is practi
cal to transport them six or seven
thousand miles, and later on we shall
liberally pension all the dependents
of the heroes and all the survivors
who return alive. These facts are
mere incidents in tho humanitarian
war wo are carrying on, but they are
reminders not only of the immense
sacrifices we are making and must
make in order to bear our share of
"the white man's burden," but of the
tender care with which our nation re
gards the men who wear its uniform
while they' live and after they are
dead. No government oq earth ever
fed and clothed and paid its soldiers
eo well or pensioned them so liberally,
or recognized so lavishly and con
stantly its obligations to the families
of those who died iu its service, as
ours always has and does; and one re
sult of this is that no nation has an
army which, man for man and gun for
gun, is the equal to that which
marches under the stars and stripes.
Whatever we may think of the strug-
glo there can bo but one opinion as to
the heroism with which our soldiers
havo faced every peril und hard
ship, tho gallantry with which they
havo rushed into every action and the
stendlness with which they have
carried the fl'ig to victory. On the bill9
about Sh ntiago, as in the jungles in the
vicinity of Manila, their courage, de
termination and stubtoro prudence
has adapted them to all emergencies
and made them victors in all engagement!-;
and iu the camps they havo
braved disease with a fortitude even
more sublime than that displayed in
battle. Large or small, it is a grand
army that defends the honor and pro
motes tho purposes of the great repub
lie.
AMERICAN ENTER I'KISK.
Probably few newspaper readers
gave any attention to the dispatch
from London stating that British con
tractors were much incensed over the
fa'ct that a firm of Philadelphia bridge
builders had been awarded the con
tract for a metal bridge over a branch
of the Nile, but tiie matter is not
without interest as another illustra
tion of what American enterprise is
doing in competition with that of
Europe, says the Bee. A London
newspaper charges tnat the Uritish
manufacturers lost the contract
through tho animosity and prejudice
of the Egyptian war office and c:ills
for an investigation. ft is also alleged
that there was collusion between the
buyers and builders. Of course, this
is absurd, for it is entirely unreason
able to suppose that in such a matter
American manfacturers would be fa
vored at the expense of English if the
latter could do the work as cheaply,
as expeditiously and as satisfactorily.
The fact is that the Philadelphia
firm was able not only to underbid the
Britieh bridge builders, but to guar
antee the completion of the work in
less time, which, it appears, is an im
portant consideration. It is an in
stance of the superiority of American
energy, which is making headway
in the world's markets against
all competition. The British manu
facturers must bo prepared for other
disappointments in competing with the
manufacturers of this country. Their
day of supremacy is passing. It is a
ittle hard on them to lose a valuable
home contract, for which good British
money will he paid, but they will have
to get used to such exoerience.

CLEANINGS.
FIIOM tho Review of Reviews,
April number, we glean the fol
lowing opening sentence to an nrticle
hoaded "About Dorothy Drew":
"The world-renowned nine-year-old
granddaughter of Mr. Gladstone is
the subject of a most interesting
sketch in the March Young Woman.
Tho writer, whose name is not given,
says: 'When not four years had
pass-id over her head ene nau joinea
the Radicals against tho IIouso of
Lords. She has no love for that
I ancient institution and will not hoar
of it. 'You mean tho House of Com
mons,' she would say whenever the
'upper house' was mentioned in her
hearing. Nor is her view of the Com
mons calculated to impress the mem
hers of that houso with a foiling of
pride. Mr. Morley, if ho has room to
devote a page of his"Life"to Dorothy,
will bo sum to tell us how many a
time he has laughed at her reference
to the Rouse of Commons as 'the place
where granddad goes to do his les
sons.' "Dorothy was only three when she
paid her first visit to the House of
Commons, and Mr. Gladstone was
still the greatest member of that dis
tinguished assembly. Her lirst im
pression was that she was in the
church, but tho jumping of the mem
bers up and down undeceived her, and
her next thought was that sho was in
a gymnasium. She had been to a gym
nasium not long before, and the 'bob
bing up and down' which sho seems to
have noticed particularly at both
places connected the two in her mind,
and for a long time afterwaids the
House of Commons was familiar to
Dorothy as tho place 'where grand
dad goes to his 'nasties' gymnastics
being too long a word for her at that
early age."
She had her views, too, on the east
ern question.
'Mr. Gladstone would talk with her
in her simple way of whatever was
nearest his heart. He must have
talked to her a great deal of Armenia,
for Dorothy is said to have asked ju-t
after his death, 'Do you think tho
Turks will be sorry grandpa is dead?'
And to have added, sadly, 'I know tho
Armenians will. ' Her visit to Queen
Victoria at Windsor, just before tho
diamond jubilee day, is narrated
partly in the words of tho little
woman herself. Dorothy relates how
she went down the very long corridor
to put on her new white frock and
her silk gloves, and how a grand ser
vant, all dressed in red, came to say
that the Queen was waiting; 'the In
dian man whom tho Queen likes very
much' was at the door, and the next
moment Dorothy stood before the
great Queen whom her grandpapa had
served for sixty years. But Dorothy
thought nothing of the vastness of
the empire, of the record reign which
all the world was celebrating. It was
nothing to her that the kindly, gray
haired lady before her was mistress of
one quarter of the whole human race.
To Dorothy she was just another
woman like grandmamma, with
a white cap on her head; and
Dorothy courtesied and kissed her,
and told her that her name was 'Dor
sie'; that she called Mr. Gladstone
'grandpa'; that they all had pet names
at the castle, and so on and so on, and
many interesting pet names were re
vealed on both sides. 'The Queen put
on her glasses and asked me to go on
the other side of the room, so that she
could see me better,' Dorothy ex
plains, 'and then she took a little
jewel case and said, 'This is for you.'
I opened it and saw a darling little
brooch with a diamond V and a dia
mond 11 and a turquoise I, also a
little crown at the top made of red
enamel. I courtesied and kissed her
hand and said 'Thank you very much.'
She looked very kind and 1 liked her
very much.' Then the Queen kissed
the little debutante again, and Doro
thy and her mother returned to town.
The little maid not only reads her
bible, but means also to turn it to
practical account.
"Dorothy refused to get up one
morning, and when all other means
had'failed to coax her out of bed, Mr.
Glandstono was called. 'Why won't
you get up, my child i 1 he asked.
'Why, grandfather, didn't you tell me
to do what the bible says ?' asked
Dorothy. 'Yes, certainly.' 'Well, it
disapproves of early rising; says it's a
wasto of time.' Mr. Gladstone knew
his bible better than most men, but he
was not equal to Dorothy. For once
in his life he was non-plussed. 'You
listen, then,' went on Dorothy in re
ply to his exclamation of astonishment,
and turning up her bible she read the
second verse of the one hundred and
twenty-seventh psalm, laying gret
emphasis on the first words, 'It is
vain for you to rise up early. "
Among a host of other eminent per
sons who t.ave been admitted to the
privilege of the young lady's acquain
tance was the creator of Mowgli.
"Dorothy has met Mr. Kipling, and
the author tells a good story of the
meeting at his own expense. They
had been in the grounds together for
some time, when Mrs. Drew appeared.
Iviow. Dorothy, I hone vou have not
been wearying Mr. Kipling,' said the
mother; and the little celebrity re
plied, frankly enough. 'Oh, not a bit,
mother, but he has been wearying
me.'"

Twenty-F'our liuot N-m to

Iu steamship building the develop
ment and progress oT the last twenty
years havo been almost phenomenal.

limits of structural possibilities' that
new methods of building and new ulcus

made, says the New York Press. The
latest launching have placed at the
service of the marine world one ocean
I steamship which can avenw a run-
unit; luitf oi i'2 MiOis iin in""
the ocean, and another tfiat measures
over 700 fee' from stern to stein. 'I'ho
limits in these two important respect
under the best present facilities and
methods nf wnxt met ion al e close at
hand. Iewis Nixon, who knows, sayi
"The limit of average speed in a mod
ern ocean-Roing passenger steamship
of the best type possible to produce
with the means at hand is 21 knots an
hour. This is an estimate" based on
the size of propeller, draft and other
conditions demanded by the channels
of this and other harbors. Ignoring
that consideration and giving the ves
sel an ideal course in open and unob
structed water, the limit would b
slightly greater, but not more than
one knot, making t lie absolute limit
about twenty-five knots an hour. The
limit of length of such a steamship H
not over 1,000 feet; in fact, I should
place it at slightly less than that."
Mr. Nixon's figures apply to the great
ocean steamships alone, and have no
reference to craft of various other de
scriptions that are capable of making
thirty and more knots an hour for
short distances.

story is going the round
about a recent
concert given l.v
Madame Med ha at the house of a fash
ionable hostess in New York. Uai(I!v
had she commenced her eong when a
strange, silvery mechanical rival made
itself heard. The shocked hostess
turned her head, scowling for .silriue
Her immediate neighbors followed suit
but the tinkle-tinkle ran on as regular-
ly as ever, it grew unbearable. .Me lb a
sang on, but every one listened to the
mysterious undercurrent, in which
there was no harmony, and emly vexa
tion. People rose, peered under chairs,
glared at the walls, the door, the c-eil-ing,
eaoh other. A buzz of whispers
spread over the room. On the piri
form, a figure of reproachful curio:-ity,
stood Melba. While the extraordinary
music still galloped on, th scarcn
commenced, chairs were upset, beiar-Js
tapped, pockets examined. I'p.iii a
nursery chair, which piayed a house
hold air when sat upon, squeezed a
stout and deliciously unconcerned old
lady. The chair was removed and the
concert resumed.
Happy is tho man or woman who
can eat a good neatty meal without
suffering afterward. If you cannot do
it, take Kodol Dyspepsia cure. Tt
digests what you eat, ; and cures all
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion.
