V:ar n. Aug. 29. The strange
paucity of iiihii-mation bearing on the
progrts w ti? revolution in V enezue
la, and Minister Bowen's comparative
site on the situation for the last
tvoveeki is beginning to cause com-
moBt at uie -state eupartment, where
it n exnec-teil that bv this time the
'revolutionary forces n'oulrt have fought
tifir battle with Caftro's troops at Ca
racas, determining the fate of the pres
et governm?nt.
So rapid ivn' the advances and so
sweeping the victories of the insur
gents, imlr.iiins the canture of "Barce

believed to have concentrated his en
tire military tore? for the final contest,
lhsnatchcs from Venezuela officially
and fi-jm private sources have made
no mention of the doings of the insur
gent forte which sacked Barcelona, and
vlm h constituted the main army of the
rebels. The pro-ram was for this army
to advance raoidly toward the capital
end meet Castro and his men on the
Plains around the city.
Since it has not been reported at
Jfeiveiona. the impression among those

vesent. is that the invading army is
advanced toward Caracas, and
jn.it any day news may be received

Newport, R. I., Aug. 26. Lessons
of the highest importance to tlie
country and to the navy were taught
by the "search problem" which closed
on Sunday last with the capture of
the "White force. Summarized, some
of the more important points deter
mined may be briefly stated as fol
lows: Iarge and immediate increase of
the navy for the adequate defense of
the coast of the United States and its
dependencies.
Need of extensive training of cruis
ers in the art of scouting.
Advisability of greater speed for
American battleships, and less for
midable craft. '
Immediate equipment of the navy
with a satisfactory system of wireless
telegraphy.
Value of the torpedo boats for
scouting in shore, for the double pur
pose of conveying information regard
ing the appeparance of an enemy's
fleet and for torpedoing an advance
cruiser of the hostile force.
Efficiency of the land lines of com
munication for the transmission of in
telligence regarding the approach of
an enemy.
These are not all of the lessons
learned during the recent maneuvre,
but they are the most important, and
they will undoubtedly weigh heavily
with the President and Secretary
Moody.when they begin the prepara
tion of their annual recommendations
to Congress. "Many people in Wash
ington have insisted from the time
the announcement was made that ex
tensile maneuvers of the army and
navy would be held that the purpose
underlying this demonstration was to
demonstrate to the people of the coun
try that more ships and more men are
absolutely essential, if the United
States is to be adequately defended.
What else was shown, while impor
tant to the service, would be secon
dary, i is claimed, so far as the ad
ministration was concerned. There
is at least a basis for this view of the
action of the President in authorizing
the maneuvers. It is known to be his
intention to earnestly recommend an
increase in the battle fleet and per
sonnel of the navy, and Secretary
Moody, will, of course, support the
view of the Chief Executive in this
respect.
The result of the "search problem"
caused one officer in the nay, high in
the councils of the Navy Department
to comment upon the inadequacy of
the- North Atlantic fleet to guard ef
fectively the entire Atlantic seaboard
and the islands of the Carribean Sea
belonging to or under the protection
of the United States. Rear Admiral
Higginson had but one hundred miles
to defend, and though he sent-fast
scouts to pick up the White Spuadron
the official name of the attacking
force, he failed to obtain from them
even the slightest intelligence re
specting the enemy. This may per
haps have been partially due to the
fact that the outside scouts were not
directly under the command of the
commander-in-chief. Rear Admiral
Joseph B. Coghlan, of Hoch der Kais
er" fame, was placed in charge of the
fast scouts, the5 armored cruiser
Brooklyn, and the protected cruiser
Olympia. He left Rear Admiral Hig
ginson on Wednesday, on his first
cruise, to -strike the White Spuadron
and, he returned on Saturday after
noon to report "no news." , ; .

Alexander Reunion; an Event Long to
be.. Remembered- ".-
. .,---'. . . .. -. .
In the latter part of summer and
early autumn it the lme; for recreation
for all classes of our.;. citizens, .Look at
the urgent offers of excursion trips, to
the mountains, the seashore or some
of the watering-places, the old soldiers
reunions, the cimp meetings, but of all
the pleasure places places of real en
joyment that I have attended, - w,as
held at the residence of Wm.'N. Alex
ander's, near Carmel church on the
Providence road, six miles': southeast
of Charlotte, on last . Wednesday the
27th inst. ' , '
The neighbors and the Alexander
kin, the dacendants of Hezekiah Alex
ander who took such a prominent
part in the church and the political ad
vancement of the county in May, 1775.
Truly these were times that tried the
souls of men. But we started to write
of the. meeting at Wm. N. Alexander's.
We got there after 12 o'clock, and
found 107 guests in waiting; dinner
was being announced, and the dinner
party was ready. Rev. Thompson call'
ed for silence and proceeded to ask a
blessing, laying" particular stress upon
the old patriarch, in whose honor the
assembled friend and kinsfolk had as
sembled. The gue'sts appeared to en
joy the sumptous dinner provided, and
their enjoyment of the rich viands-was
appreciated by the ladies who prepared
the feast. ""'
After dinner the string band enter
tained the guests withmost excellent
music for an hour. During the per
formance the children kept time with
both hands and feet, as if no one else
was present.. The crowd then formed
a line and marched over, to Carmel
church. The old patriarch arid your
scribe leading the multitude. The
church, a handsome new structure, not
yet completed, is an honor to the peo
ple cf that congregation. Mr. N. W.
Alexander has trained the voices of the
I young people till they now excell any
other church in the county in render
ing fine music. , They certainly deserve
credit for their church music. I have
never heard sweeter music any where.
The people of Carmel are. blessed with
a good minister, who says Jie never ex
pects to become an old man, but will
live amidst the joys of the. innocency
of youth. Wishing that they may en
joy many returns of such pleasant oc
casions, I remain, a Well wisher of
those who participated in the Alexan
der reunion.

Mrs. Louise M. Gibson Says That This
Jbatal Disease is Easily Cured by
Lia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Of all the diseases known with whicl the female organism is aflSIcted, kid
ney disease is the? most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment iai
applied, the weary patient seldom survives.
Being, fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex
haustive study to the subject, and in producing ber great remedy for woman's
ills Liydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see
that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control
that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts
in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while
there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared
for women. v ..

Corresponding Secretary Woodlawn Country Club, Chicago, 111.

" Deaf. Mrs. Pinkham : I felt very discouraged two years ago, I
had suffered so long with kidney troubles and other female complica
tions, and had taken so much medicine without relief that I began to
think there was no hope for me. Life looked so good to me, but what is
life without health ? I wanted to be Well. ;
" Liydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made
me well, and that is why I gladly write and thank you ; six bottles
was all I took, together with your Pills. My headache and backache
and kidney trouble went, never to return ; the burning sensa
tion I had left altogether; my general health was so improved I felt
as young and light and happy as at twenty. .
" I am a sincere admirer of yours and feel that you must have a host
of friends all over this country who feel as I do, even though they do
not express it." Mrs. Louise M. Gibson, 4813 Langley Ave., Chicago, I1L
The troubles to which women are subject, because of their sex, are
legion. Everyday a woman is liable, to have a new pain. Excessive
worry may disturb the menstrual function and unsettle the nerves,
over-exertion may set up some abdominal inflammation, or a trifling
accident derange the whole reproductive system.
If you feel that there is anything at all unusual or puzzling about
your case, or if you wish confidential advice of the most experienced
write to Mrs. 'Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and you will be advised free oi
charge. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured and
is curing thousands of cases of female troubles curing them in
expensively and absolutely. Remember this when you go to your
druggist. Insist upon getting . . ; '
