I-' 1, fV The Weekly Star, WHEN TOE SETTING LOW. 8CN WAS BY P., PABKEB, JR. Down the winding path we wandered, Where the gentle flowers grow; Hore our secret love we plighted. With onr young hearts all aglow. " And we thought not of the distance, Or how moments quickly go, For my love and I were happy . When the setting sun was low. AH around was still and lonely, Nature seemed endowed with rest, And the sun with golden splendor Was slowly sinking in the west. And the alders by the river Softly nodded to and fro, For my love and I were happy When the setting sun was low. Boon Ue dusky twilight deepened How the blissful moments sped 1 Not a mortal could discover - All the loving things w& said. Homeward then we turned our faces, Deeper still the shadows grow, And my love had vowed to wed me - : When the setting sun was low. jnmto Gnnt and QulcK-Flre Guns New York Bun. The OrdnanceBureau of the Navy Department has completed two of the ten-inch steel breech-loading rifles for the monitor Miantonomoh. These are the largest and most powerful built-up guns yet turned out for the navy. One of them, is at Annapolis awaiting trial. The other has been fully tested with most gratifying re sults, as it compares favorably with the best products of renowned Euro pean ordnance works.' The muzzle velocity attained was 2,000 feet per second. The range could not be de termined owing to the lack of a suffi ciently large proving ground, but it is estimated at ten miles. Soon after the contracts are award ed for the construction of the new ' 2,500 ton gunboats, preparations will begin at the Washington Ordnance Yard for the manufacture of their pe culiar ordnance; which is to be made up entirely of rapid fire guns of extra ordinary calibre, as compared with guns of this type now in use on our naval vessels. The 'largest guns of this kind will be six inches in calibre, but, owing to the simplicity and com pactness of their mechanism and con struction, they will not materially ex ceed in weight the 16-inch rifles of the kind now in use, although they are fully equal to them in range and ac curacy, and are vastly superior in of fensive power by reason of their ra pidity of fire. - Tne Soutnern Gram crop St. Louis Republic. The careful experiments with grasses being made by intelligent Southern farmers are a healthful promise of improvement in the agri culture of that section.. Grass counts for a great deal in farming. It means, n.tfcla. fiheen. horses, milk and butter. and it means also fields perpetually made more fertile by returning to the soil what is taken from it by local feeding. The, scarcity of animals so often remarked on Southern planta tions is dad in a Great measure to the absence of pastures on which to raise them. The best farmers of the South recognize this disadvantage.-and are making diligent experiments with various kinds of sub-tropical grasses with the object of finding SQme vari ety, adapted to tneir climate ana soil, that can be relied on as a staple f mature. Bermuda grass thrives best n the region south of Arkansas and Tennessee, and is very extensively cultivated in MississiDDU Louisiana. Alabama and Georgia, both for pasture and for hay: and. in some of the uplands, blue grass, orchard grass and clover thrive. It may take years of trial to secure a succession of eood erasses in the South, but the trials should be persisted in nevertheless. Tbey Preferred tbe His bar Price. - Cloak and Suit Review for May. Tbo story la told of a retail dealer who obtained a rare bargain in lai dies' hemstitched linen handker chiefs, which he designed to sell at a fair profit at twenty-five cents each. On examination of the goods he de termined not to give such value for so small a sum. Taking one-half this lot, he marked each handkerchief in the corner with a lead pencil, 25 cents, and the other half of the lot, Erecisely the same style and quality, e marked in the same way 80 cents, and displayed the goods on his coun ter side by side. Imagine his surprise when he found that his lady customers on their own judgment, and after a seeming care ful and critical comparison of the goods, in two purchasers out of three, selected the bargains at 30 cents leaving him with the larger part of those marked 25 cents on his counter. As it was impossible to alter the marks on the goods from 25 to 30 without soiling them, he was actual ly compelled to purchase another in' voice of the same lot ' to oblige the dear . creatures who preferred to pay 30 cents for the article rather than 25 cents. Office Brokers. Exchange. The Republican Congressional can didate in the Second Missouri district who sold f ourth-clasB postmaster ships for $25 $15 down 'and $10 on delivery of the commission has found a rival in Love, the defeated nominee in the Third district. This individual, in a speeoh the other night, soorned the charges of office brokerage, but announced that ap plicants who expected him to secure their appointments must be prepared to pay "the expense attached to the proceedings." At the same time he declared that it was his right to con trol the patronage of the district,and that any one who ventured to make applications through any other chan nel would be ruled out of the coun cils of the part. Give toe Baby Plenty of Water. Medical Classics. It is a mistake to suppose that be cause milk is a liquid food it is at the same time drink which is capable of satisfying the thirst of infants. Al though milk appeases hunger, it makes thirst more intense after it has remained some time in the stom ach and digestion has.begun. It is thirst which causes healthy, breast nursing infants to cry for long pe- riods in many, instances. There are many cases of indigestion due to weakness or insufficiency of the child's gastrio juioe, whioh would be greatly benefitted or even "cured if the child were allowed an occasional drink of water. , ' Not Above Paper.

JJr. laimage. m.rinn Hardware In Utexleo, ThA Philadelphia Eecord quotes ex-Consul Porch as follows in refer ence to American trade with Mexioo: "American iron and steel manufac tures are not aggressive enough to capture the trad.of other countries. A large amount oi uur iru u steel manufactures oouia De aoia abroad if their merits were only pub lished to the world. American saws are in the hardware stores at Bir mingham, England, and so with many other special aruoies u jxmw- can make, inoy oa wmiww wuu the world. Of conrse, there is no denying that the existing tariff arrangements hamper mis com petition, but foreigners will still buy maDy of our products when they are once, convinoed of their worth. I know of no manufacturers who are really pushing with any en ergy their goods into maraeis oeyona our own boundaries. Look at the Euglish method," and Mr. Porch drew from his desk an elaborate price list of English iron manufac tures printed in a half dozen differ ent languages. "The Britisher has his representatives in Mexioo, in J a pan, in South America, in the Indies, and forces his gooas on me ueuuuu of tie consumer. This is what our representative men must do. He who is first in the neia win reap ice benefits. Mexioo offers a particularly favorable field for the operations of our manufacturers. There is a wide sale for hardware particularly. The Germans now principal lv control this business, and thn hatchets and other edge tools which they offer are worthless as pewter. Ask a Mexican merchant whether he has not American goods, and after bluffine vou he will un cover his American stock. They try, of course, to sell their Dutch goods first. In my mind it would be an excellent thing for manufac turers of this oountry to club to gether and establish an American iron and steel goods emporium in Mexico, where our manufactures could be exhibited for sale, not with the idea of making money at first, but in the hope of rich returns in the not distant future. We may feel that the higher price of labor in this country puts us at a disadvan tage, but let us be as energetic and agmreseive as our competitors, ana the market for American made artU cles will be expanded immensely." a Sand-Snipe Caacnt a Clam. Saratoga. N. Y., 23. The New York Sun has the following: . Harvey Cook is the traditional fish erman of Saratoga Lake. Peroh,black bass and other toothsome denizens of these waters, which furnish so much material for the delicious second conrse at the hotel dinners, that shun every other hook, are prompt to bite at his bait and are easily hooked by him. The regular Saratoga visitors have known Harvey Cook, or of his name or fame, for the past half-cen tury. - He is a plain, old-fashioned man, a shrewd observer, and in the conrse of his Ions experietce as a fisherman has become familiar with the habits of almost every liv ing thing that crawls on the borders, or swims in the waters, or flies over the surface of Saratoga Lake. "I have lived on these waters, so to speak, for fifty-four years," said Mr. Cook to a Sun reporter, "but I never before saw anything like what 1 saw a few days ago. I was moving along the shore of the lake when 1 saw a sand-snipe, or 'tipup,' as the boys call them, standing at the water's edge and struggling as if its feet were in a trap. Soon the bird arose a little way in the air and flaw as far as the road, where it fell and flatter ed as though calling on me, as an old friend, for help.

A sf oundlDK Revelations of Corruption and Bribery by Republicans. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Newport. May 81. In the I General Assembly this morning a report from the Committee on Elections concerning the Black Island bribery cases was read. The report stated that 75 to 100 men were bribed to vote for John G. Sheffield. Jr. Republican, who holds a seat, from $35 to $100 being paid for votes. The corruption revealed by the report was almost impossi ble to believe. Republicans made counter charges against Democrats of similar pro ceedings. - With the report was a resolu tion that Bhemeld was not legally eleoted and not entitled to his seat in the House, and that Christopher E. Champlm was entitled to the seat held by Sheffield . The no Yoteu w w u to continue the matter to the January session.

A Fearful Record or Desolation ana Disaster Hundreds of Lives Lost and an Inansense Aaaonnt of Property Destroyed TbrUllnc Ueeltala of tbe snivtvoraof (be Disaster- - By Telegraph to the Morning Star.' PrrTBBUBd, Pa , "June 1 The raging rain storms that have prevailed through out Jfennsy ivania in tne pastiew oavs have resulted in an appalling loss of life. The scene of a terrible disaster is at Johnstown, Pa., tn uamnrea county, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the Conemaugh river. Two and a half miles northeast of the town is a reservoir owned by a rich fishing club. It is the largest reservoir in the United States, being three and:a half miles long . and one and a half miles wide. Its depth in some places is one hundred feet. It holds more water than any other. natural or artificial, in the United States. The lake has been quadrupled in size by artificial means and was held in check by a dam from 700 to 1,000 feet .wide. It is 90 feet in thickness at the base and the height is 110 feet. The top has a breadth of over twenty feet. Recognising the menace blch tbe lake had lor the region below. the South Fork Club had the drain inspec ted once a month by the Pennsylvania Railroad engineer", and their investigation shows that nothing less than some convul sion of nature would tear the barrier away and loosen tne weapon oi death. The steady rams of the oast twenty-four hours increased the volume of water in all the mountain streams, which were already swelled by the lesBer rains earlv in the week, jrrom tne oest information obtain able at this time it is evident that eomathine in the nature of a cloud burst must have been tbe culmination of the struggle of the water against tne emoanRment. The dim culty of obtaining definite information added tremendously to the excitement and apprehension. Tbe course of the torrent from the bro ken dam at the foot of the lake to Johns town is almost eighteen miles, and. with the exception of at one point; the water passed through a narrow V-shaped valley. Four miles be-low the dam lay the town of South Frk. where the South Fork itself empties into the Conemaugh river. The town contained about two thousand inl.ab- ltsnts. It has not been heard from, but it is said that four-fifths of it has been swept away. Four miles further down, on the Cone maugh river, was the town of Mineral Point, it had eight hundred inhabitants. ninety per cent, of the houses being on a fiat close to the river. It seems impossible at this time to hope that any of them have escaped. Six miles further down was the town of Conemaugh, and here alone was there a to pographical possibility of the spreading of the flood and the breaking of its force. It contained 2.500 inhabitants, and must be almost devastated. Woodvale, with 2.000 people, lay a mile below Conemaugh, in a flat, and one mile further down lay Johnstwon and its cluster of sister towns, Cambria and Conemaugh, a borough with a total population of 80.000. on made ground, and stretched along the right, at the river's verge, were the immense iron works of tbe Cambria Iron and Steel Co., who have f 6,000.000 invested in then- plant. Besides this there are many other large industrial establishments on the bank of lha river, the damage to which cannot oe estimated. Nbw Florence, Pa, June l.-This town is fourteen miles from Johnstown, the principal scene of the desolation, and even here, so ftr from tbe washed out towns. the horror is in our midst. Seven bodies have been found on the shore near this town, two being in a tree, a man and wo man, where the tide bad carried them. The country people are coming into the revs centres in large numbers, telling stoiie3 ot tbe disaster along the river banks in secluded places. i John McCartney, a carpenter, who lives ia jonnstown, reached here about 4 o'clock He left Johnstown at 4:30 yesterday, and says that the scene whlen ha left was in describable. The people had been warned early in the morning to move to the high land, bu'-.they did not heed the warning. although it was repeated a number of times up to 1 o'clock, when the water pcur ed into Gioder street several feet deep. Then the bouses began rocking to and fro. and final'y tbe face of tbe current carried buildings acros? the streets and vacant lots and dashed them against each other, break ing them in fragments. These buildings were freighted with poor wretches who so shortly before had lsuhed at the ciy ot danger. Mr McCartney says ia some cases he counted as men? as 15 people clinging to buildings. McCartney's wife was with him; she had three eisti r who lived near her. They saw the home in which these girls lired carried away, and then they could stand i'. no longer, bo they hurried off. The husband feared his wife would go crazy before he could drag her awsy, and then left tbe doomed district and went in and along country roads until tbey reached here. I h said to be next to im possible to get to Johnstown proper to day in ar.y manner except by a row boat. The roads are cut np so ibat even the country' men refuse to travel over them in their roughest vehicles- Tbe only hope is to get within about three miles of Johnstown by special tma, or by hand-car. This will be done by the Associated Press agent within tne next ncur. Tbe waters are cow receding hers as rap idly aa thty rose last r.i.ht. As the banks uncover the dead are showing up. Already nine dead bodies have been picked up within tbe limits of this borough since day light None of them havo as yet been re cognized Five of those found are women one a lady,' probably 35 years old, and rather handsome, had clasped in her arms u usoesDoui six monens oia. ineoeao body cf a young man was discovered in the branches of a lute tree, which bad been carried down the Btream. The body of aootuir wenwn bis just been discovered in tbe river nere tier loot was discovered above the surface of tbe wa"ec Tbre.i persons were rescued near here to day. They had been carried from their home in Columbia City on the roof of a couae. i t ere were a von others on tbe roof of the hcu:e wben it was carried eff, t u. tbiy xe'e all d.owned. The banks on both sides of the riyer at this place are crowded with anxious watchers, and with horrifying frequency their vigils are re warded by ibe discovery oi a dead body. Within the last half hour threo floating bodies havo been recovered at this point. and hundreds of people from Johnstown and up-river towns are hurrying here In search of friends and relatives who were swept awsy in last night's flood. The calamity of yesterday was as siogu' lar as fatal. .It is very evident that many lives nave been lost by tno foolish incredi bility of people who were heedless of tbe warnings of danger. For more than a year there were fears of an accident of just such a character as the one that has happened. The foundations of the dam were consid ered to be shaky early last spring, and many increasing leakages were reported from time to time, according to neorjle who live in Johnstown and other towns on the line oi tbe river. Ample time was given to the Johnstown folks by the railroad offi cials and by other gentlemen of standing aod reputation. In dozens, yes. hundreds of cases this warning was utterly disre garded, ana tnose who heeded it early in tbe day were looked upon as. eo wards, and many jeers were uttered by lips that now are cold among -the rank grass beside the river. One poor nameless woman, who looked with sightless eyes at the gray clouds from the slimy bank of a meadow below New Florence, wore a smile that perhaps had its birth in that cpirlt of 4 Who's afraid? which has had such awful results. There has grown np a bitter feeling among tbe surviving sufferers against those who owned tbo lake and dam, and damage suits .will be plentiful hy and by. The dams lo Stony Creek above Johns town b.oke about noon yesterday, and thousands of feet of lumber passed down tne stream. "How can anvbodv tall how manv are dead?" said a railroad engineer to methis morning. "I have been at Sang Hollow with mv train since 11 o'clock yesterday, and I have seen rally JU persons lost In the flood.". G. W. Each, a.brave railroad employe, saved sixteen lives at Minevah.fi The most awful culmination of this aw ful night was the roasting of a hundred or more persons in mid-flood . The ruins of houses, outbuildings and other structures Bwept against the new railroad bridge at Johnstown, and from an overturned stove or some such cause, the upper part of the wreckage caught fire. There were crowds oi men. women ana children on the wreck age, and their screams were Bonn mAAeA tn the awful chorus -ot horror. They were literally roasted in the flood. Boon after the fire burned Itself out others were thrnwn against tbe mass. There were some flftvoeoDle in sight when the ruins sud denly parted and broke up and the unfor tunates were swept unaer tne Driage into the pitchy darkness. Tbe latest news from Johnstown is that hut two houses can be seen in tbe town. It is also said only three, nouses remain in Cambria. Fbebpjbt. Pa , June 1 The water is receding hero, now, having reached twenty one feet in the channel, but is running full of logs of all dimensions. Half a million have passed to day, and a gentleman just arrived from Red Bank says a million will oass here to-night. The stream is swept clear of logs, all sawed lumber abd saw mills. This morning tbe river was lull oi pianos, organs, trunks, bedding, beer, lard, oil, soua lountains, etc. no aeaa Doaies have been found here, but at Lordsburg six have been taken out. Tbe loss along Kissenetta river is inestimable. Gresdbbtjbg. Pa . June 1.

As the train passed a point where tbo water was full of struggling peo pie, a woman and child floated in near the shore. The tram was stopped ana pop penstall undressed, jumped into the water and in two trips saved both the mother and child. Swoilon corprea lay here and there in piles of ci oss ties, or cn the river banks among the tangled greenery Among the identified dead were James McMiliic. Superintendent of tbe Cambria Iron Co 's store, his wife, four children and daughter-in-law; John P. Linton, a lead ing lawyer, wife Bad five children; Mrs. Thos. Kirtlin end two children; Nolan and seven ot the family, and oiliere. It was about 9 o'clock when the first pae seneer train ince Friday came to tbe New Florence depo, with its load of eager pas sengers, The?e wt.ro no idle travellers, but each bad a mission. Here and there men were staring out of the windows with red eyes, and among them were tough-looking Hungarians and Ita'iins, who had lost friends near Nincvab, while women were weeping on all sides Some little odds and ends they told me of. A beautiful girl came down on the roof of a building which was swung ia near to the tower. She screamed to the operators to save her, and one big. brawny. brave fellow walked as far into the river as he could, and shouted to her to try to guide herself into shore with a bit of plank. She was a plucky girl, full of nerve and energy, and stood upon her frail support, in evident obedience to the command of the operator She made two or three bold strokes and actually Etopped the course of the raft for an instant. Then it swerved ana went out from under her. She tried to swim ashore, but in a few minutes she was lost in tbe surging water. Something hit her, for she lay on her back with face pallid and expressioness j and women by dozens, in pairs and singly, children, boys. big and little, and wee babies were there in among the awful confusion of the water, drowning, gasping, struggling and fighting desperately for life. Two men on a tiny raft shot into the swifteet part of the cur rent. They crouched stolidly, looking at the shore, wbile between them, dressed in white and kneeiing with her face turned heavenward, was a girl six or seven years old, she seemed stricken with paralysis un til she came opposite the town, and then she turned her face lo the operator. She was so close tbey could see the big tears cn her face. The helpless men on shore she u'ed to her to keep up ber courage and sle resumed her devout aiii'uie and disap peared under tbe trees of a projecting point a short citance below "Doy u see thht fringe of tree ?" ssii the operator, pointing to the place where tie little girl bad gone out of sight. "Well, we saw scores of children swept in there, I bel eve thU when the time comes ihey will find almost a hundi el bodies of chil dren there among the bushes." Just above New Florence Is the town of Ninevah. It was bere that I found the first cbarnel house. One hundred and nine dead were here, tbe larger portion of whom were women. Here it was that tbe awful work of the freshet could be realized What nave been Iertue farms now look much like worn-out brickyards great trees have been twisted and torn like weeds, and tbe broken household gnods of hundreds of houses line the shores for miles Thieves of the vilest sort those who steal from the dead tbe unfortunate have been busily at work, robbing trunks and boxes and articles of furniture, and there is noth ing werth taking left.

Ills A Fact WOETH knowing is that blood dis eases which all other remedies fail to cure, yield to Ayers Sarsaparllla. Fresh confirma tion of this state ment comes to hand daily. Even such deep-seated and stubborn com plaints as Bhen matiflm, Rheuma tic Grout, and the like, are thorough ly eradicated by the use of this won derful alterative. Mrs. E. Irving Dodge, 110 West 125th street, New York, certifies : " About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two years from rheumatic gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw by an advertise ment in a Chicago paper that a manhad been relieved of this distressing com plaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. . I then decided -to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months. I am pleased to say that it effected a com plete cure, and that I have since had no return of the disease." Mrs. Tj. A. Stark, Nashua, N. H., writes: "One year ago I was taken ill with rheumatism, being confined to my house six months. I came out of the sickness very much debilitated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. I commenced to use Ayer'a Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength and soon re covering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-known medicine." "I have taken a great deal of medi cine, but nothing has done me so much good as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I felt its beneficial effects before I had guite finished one bottle, and I can reely testify that it is the best blood medicine I know of." lu "W. Ward, Sr., Woodland, Texas.

D., editor in chief of the Christian Sun, is only confirmatory of similar testimonials from other reliable sonroes:on the same subject. Dr. Barrett says: PANACEA WATBH. There are so many "quack remedies" for dyspepsia, and kindred d leases, that it is bard to get people to believe that all remedies advertised are not "qnaoky" and worthless. Ia another column will be found the advertisement of the Panacea Water, by Mr. John A. Williams, or Oxford, N. C. We have great confidence in its value, especially in eases of dyspepsia. We have used It with great bene fit, and we know whereof twe speak. In a week's time its use made a decided. Improvement, and we have no hesitancy in commending it to the suffering. We also know that when Bey. M. L. Hurley, of Franklin, Va., had been reduced al most to a skeleton from a terrible case of dys pepsia of several years' standing, dnd wben the medicine of first class physicians had failed to cure, or even give much relief, he tried this water as well nigh the last hope, and to his astonishment In a few days he found great re lief. He continued its use for several weeks and he Is a well man. We write this notice of our own accord, that we may persuade the suffering to try the PANACEA WATER. For sale by 3. H.
