Baltimore Sun. ; j - The formidable character of the un dertaking of sending troops over sea to the Philippine Islands, or' Cuba, is not fully comprehended by some per sons who are impatient at the degree oi progress the government is making. viin tiiemen must go weapons, am munition, provisions and many other matters that require space. : A has been shown in The Sun's correspond ence, wjien iri 1879, England sent 8,100 men to South Africa 63,000 tons of 8hippipg were required, or some 6 tons per man. 1 he. shipping :that car ried 8,600 troops to Cyprus in 1878 ag gregated O7.U0U tons. As the force destined for the . Philippines has the broad Pacific to cross; a voynjfteof four or five weeks a large supply of pro visions will ne required, both for the voyage and for a certain length of time alter the arrival there. It will accord mgly take time to get ready to send the first installment of 5,000 men to the Philippines. 'It may be hoped that they will not require a convoy of war ships owing to the. danger of meeting bpamsh warships on the way. If any swift Spanish auxiliary cruisers should be lurking in their path, thev raieht be seriously delayed or imperiled. .The sending of 40,00Q men to Cuba would, of course, bea simpler matter, because the distance is small and large fleets are at hand -to convoy ; the transports. But even in this ' case difficulty exists from the large amount of shipping re- quirea and irom tne danger ot inter ruption by Spanish cruisers tvhile the movement is in progress. j : Said by ChUdren, .

C, THURSDAY, JUNE 2,1898. ; Bill AMP'S LETTER, When General Taylor had fought and won a great battle in Mexico he sent a report of it to the secretary of war and began it by saying: "Sir On yester day noon as I was taking a hasty plate of soup." The nation was electrified at the victory, but everybody smiled at the old man's Btyle of reporting it and the importance he ' attached 'to. soup, Nevertheless the whigs nominated him ior president over General Scott and Daniel Webster. Scott was called "Old Fuss and Feathers," but Taylor1 was ouonea "Uld Rough and Ready," and that nominated him. The democratic papers made fun of him and called him "old eoup plate" and "old hastv" but he was elected. His fightiog qualities put mm inrougn. A J TT ... auu xienry watierson says we can put Admiral Dewey through for .the ame reason. Maybe we can. I am willing.of course, for he is a democrat and a Presbyterian, and being one of the elect ought to be elected. We don't know that be is partial to Boup, but cer tain it is that be is partial to his stom ach, for he actually stopped fighting and Binking ships long enough to eat breakfast.' Was such a thing ever done in the midst of a terrific battle before ? "Twenty minutes lor breakfast 1" was the ring of the steward's bell on every vessel and the poor Spaniards had sur cease of sorrow for a little while. Zach- ary Taylor said: ' "A little more grape, uapuun Bragg,' but Dewey , said rsoys,- let us rest awnue and eat up something the rest of their ships will Keep." Dewey is a Green mountain boy and I like that, for Vermont democrats are we best democrats north of the line, And just to think of his being a Pres byterian. I dident know tbey had any in Vermont and would have set him down for a Unitarian or a Roman Catholic or a deerjj water Baptist. '" Grav er Cleveland, they ay, is a Presbyter ian, but maybe he is one of Zeb Vance's kind. Zeb said: "The difference be tween me and my brother Bob is that Bob is a Methodist and believes in fal ling Irom grace, but Bob never falls. I am a Presbyterian and don't believe in falling from grace, but am. falling all the time." When Zeb was .running against Holden for governor he found out that all the people in a little valley over the mountain were Baptists and so he went over there just a few days be fore Holden was to speak there and told the boys that his good old mother was a Baptist and that Holden was a regular old fashioned - shoutin' Methodist-and you could hear him a mile at a camp meeting. The result was that not a dozen men came out to hear Holden acd Vance got every vote in the settle ment But that stopping for breakfast at Manila reminds me of the fight betweeali TVm Holt ant (V.tnnl ln.'.w f 1 1 U M-r 1. 1 uu vyvUCl UUVU Ul UU( KJWU. away back before te war. They were leading citizens and were continually at outs. They carried much animosity on their tongues and much corporosity in their abnormal regions, for each weighed about 250 pounds and had ehqrt necks and short arma and shorter legs and each had vowed to whip the other if he ever crossed his path. One day as Hall was going Itytn the postofiice slowly walking and reading his paper he and Boyd met at the corner and the fight began. Each was as big a coward aa old Falstaff, but they had to fight and everybody around' was willing. In a brief time they got to the ground and neither could get on top and they blowed like porpoises; After while the people took pity on them and helped .them up and then each claimed the victory. I Bent you word I was going to whip vou' said Boyd "and now I reckon you will quit telling lies on me." "Whip who, you old dirty, lying pup py. Why, 1 whipped you sir and never stopped reading my newspaper," and he held up a crumpled sheet that some how or other he had never let go from his hand. The old doctor always swore that be never stopped reading his paper while fighting Boyd. Just so Taylor never - forgokl his soup and Dewey his breakfast. iThere is no recor.liiu all his tory that matches Dewey '8 coolness un der fire and over water and if he should be nominated for our next president, aa Watterson predicts, tbe shibboleth will be twenty minutes for breakfast. . ' Stonewall Jackson dident seem to. care very much about eating! during a fight, but did care: about praying for the souls of his. enemies. h The Bluelisrht elder knew them well.

Old Bluellght's going to pray. f -'Say bare thine arm; stretch forth thy rod: Amen!' That's Stonewall's way.' But after all that has teen 'said or sung about jour heroes, I don't believe that any good hearted man takes pleas ure in killing bis felbw men whether in battle or in a personal quarrel, j In the the olden time when men fought duels and it was considered dishonorable to refuse a challenge, many a man over shot his adversary rather than have his blood on his "bands. It takes a hard hearted man to Bhoct another down' in cold blood and it ia a shade of comfort to every true soldier to know that possi bly every bullet he fired may have mis sed the mark;. I Saw two soldiers shot at sunrise one morning at Centerville in 1861. Twelve men fired the fatal shots but no one knew who kHIed them, for six of the guns had not; balls in them.. Such is tbe kind. consideration that even army rules have for the feelings of those who are chosen for such reluctant work. That voice from heaven that Cain heard when he killed Abel still haunts us. "The voice of thy brother's blond cries unto me from the ground." I have of ten wondered Low the spirits of dead soldiers of opposing armies meet each other on the other side. kD they shake hands and make friends or how ?

STRANG K SENTENCE. youth's Companion. : In 1801 a man died in' the Catskilla Jrho had been condemned by one of the trangest sentences on . record: Ralph Sutherland was born in 1901, and lived in a stone house near Leeds. He was a man of violent temper and morose disposition, shunned by his neighbors, and generally disliked. ; Not being able to get an Amerioau servant, he imported a Scotchwoman, and according to the usage of the times, virtually held her in bondage . until her passage-money had been "refunded. : .Unable to endure any longer the rag ing temper of her master, the girl ran away. Immediately upon discovering her absence, the man set off in an angry chase upon his horse, and soon overtook her. The poor woman never reached the house alive, and Suther land was indicted and arrested on the charge of murder. : At the trial he tried to .prove that bis horse had taken - fright, run away, pitched him out of the saddle, and dashed the girl to death upon the rocks; but the jury did not accept the defence, and Sutherland was sentenced to die upon the scaffold. .- Then came the plea of the insufficiency of circumstantial evidence and the efforts of Influential relations. These so worked upon, the court that the judge delayed the sentence bf death until the prisoner should be ninety-nine years old. U was ordered that the culprit should be! released' on hia own recognizance, and that, pending the final execution of his sentence, he should keep a hang man's noose about his neck, and show himself before the judges of Catskill once a year to prove that he wore bis badge of infamy, and kept hia crime in mind. It was a more cruel decision than the sentence of immediate death would have been, but it was no doubt in harmony with the spirit of the times Thus Ralph Sutherland -lived. He always lived alone. He' seldom spoke. His rougb, imperious manner had gone. Years followed years. At each session of the court the broken man cime before the bar of justice, and silently showed the noose that circled his neck. At last his ninety-ninth year came; tbe time when the court had ordered that the utmost penalty of the law should be executed.' For the last time the man tottered before the judge's bench; but new judges had -arisen in the land, new laws had been made,; old crimes had been forgotten or forgiven, and there was none who would accuse him or execute sentence. Indeed, the awful restriction, that had bound his life so intimately to the expiation of his crime, was now legally removed. But the spint of self-punishment continued, and when Sutherland; after, he had passed his hundredth year, was discovered dead, alone, in hia house, is throat was found to be encircled by the rope which had been placed there nearly ' three quarters of a century be fore. . , ' It has been said that not more than one in a hundred of the criminals of a civilized nation are ever brought to pun ishment But these ninety-nine, who do hot euffer legal punishment, do they really escape? Does any one escape the peaalty of his guilt by simply evading detection? The body may not wear the emblem of 'disgrace; but in some form or other, guilt inflicts a sentence upon the body or the soul that cannot-be eluded. t . There is where the cord throttles. For whether the law fail, or the judges fail, or society fails, physical penalties against physical 6ins are inexorable, and there is no such thing as failure on the part cf a man's conscience to execute the sentence which God has passed upon the transgressor of His moral laws. Something New In Naval Warfare. . The United States is to be credited with introducing something new in naval warfare. It is not a new explosive, or a new projectile, or a new type of war-vessel. It is a hospital ship, a sort of floating ambulance, which, altbtough furnished and fitted out by one combatant, is in tended to minister impartially to the netds of the injured of either navy. This vessel, formerly the Creole, has been appropriately named the Solace. It goes about its work of mercy under tbe flag of the Geneva cross. As, a signatory of the Geneva "Convention, Spain is bound to respect the red cross flag, - and it is not believed "that the surgeons and nurses on board of the Solace will run any risk from the Spanish guns. To make the Solace entirely neutral, she carries neither arms nor ammuni tion. She wilL hot carry anything that is Contraband of war, ; nor any more coal than -she needp for her own use. She will, order: no circumstances, be used to carry despatches or any officers or soldiers who' are not wounded. But she does nave everything that is needed to minister to those of both navies who have-been injured. ; The presence of euch a vessel, with its neutral and merciful work after an en gagement, will . be a reminder that war, cruel as it is, does not destroy all the obligations of humanity. A North Carolina hilltop on which a fine, house had been : built, proved to have euch an attraction for lightning that the owner, in fear for his life, moved out at last and let the place go to ruin. . A Pittsburg man read the news paper stories of the "lightning- Haunted" hill, meditated a while, finally bought the place for little or nothing, and in less than six weeks located an .almost inexhaustible iron-mine. For twelve years it . has annually yielded -iron enough to pay for the whole plant four times over which the purchaser pro bably considers only a reasonable re ward for the exercise of the gift which Yankees call "gumption."

Mr. Bryan was a candidate-for Cap tain, but opposition developing againBt him, he withdrew to avoid a bolt of about 40 members, tall enlisted men . in the Nebraska Artillery, who went into the new organization for political rea sons, but would have left had Bryan been elected captain. lhe understanding now is that Gov ernor Holcomb shall appoint Bryan col onel of the Third, though the original scheme, in order to create a popular wave in Bryan's favor, was to elect bim captain, after he had enlisted as private, and then to promote him to colonel, bat the opposition in the party ranks spoiled this scheme. There is a general belief, even among the party friends of Mr. Bryan, that he has hurt himself politically by his excur sion into military matters. -Irreverent Jokea. We have observed, with regret. -that newspaper witticisms containing irreve rent expressions-have greatly multiplied and that some so-called highly respectable publications aid in their cir culation. It is not probable that any harm ia intended to be done by those wh coin, or those who publish, these objectionable effusions; in many cases, at least, they are doubtless tbe result of an exuberant humor, that has not been sufficiejntly chastened by culture, and which Is consequently allowed to throw off the check of reason. An aged clergy man,; who long conducted a religious journal adopted a rule in regard to this matter, which, we think, is a good one. He said: "Whenever a joke reflects at all upon religion, or is calculated to raise merri ment at the expense of things usually held Bacred, I will not publish it; but if is innocent of these objections or turns the laugh upon the -devil, I cheerfully give it a place." .

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases,-and hence the most difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and aU the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it Swift's Spe cificoures Catarrh permanently, for it ia the only remedy which can reach tha disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrod'sburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes! though I was constantly treated with sprayj V and washes, and differ tuiMHUMing remedies-, in fact, 1 eoujd feel thai each winter I was worst than the year previous "Finally It wal brought to tny notlei that Catarrh was a blooJ -disease, and after think inn nvo t.
