The Ericsson Reconnoiterinu Under Fire
at Santiago.
The obtaining of acculate informa-
tion as to the whereabouts and strength
of an enemy is even on land a danger-
ous business, but scouting on the water
is doubly perilous.
guising a despatch boat; there is little
possibility of evading detection on the
open sea; and unlike such operations
on the land, a marine reconnaissance
must be made in full view of the enemy
and often under direct fire of his guns.
Such service, however, is quite as es-
sential and importafit in the navy as it
is in the army, and is usually performed
by swift running torpedo-boats which
dash at high speed close to the enemy’s
fortifications and "battle-ships, and
whOse course can be changed so quick-
ly and readily that it tests the accuracy
of the most skilful gunner to get a
sight on the elusive flyer. From her
deck the officers take what hasty ob-
servations they can of the hostile
forces, and endeavor to form a definite
idea of the weak and vulnerable points
in the fortifications.
Such daring work as was performed,
for example, by the Ericsson at Santi-
ago was of incalculable value in the
formation of future plans of attack both
to 'Admiral Sampson and General Shaf-
ter. A stirring picture of this exciting
episode of the war we produce to-day
from the columns of Harper’s Weekly.

ture of the work which is the duty of

A very distressing accident occurred
at Greenwich yesterday afternoon dur-

About 3 o’clock while on the way to
the Putnam cemetery, one of the
horses attached to the hearse was stung
by a bee, causing both animals to run
away. The hearse was thrown over an
embankment and the glass side broken,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED,

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Thele is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-'
dition of the mucous lining of the{
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a. rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is}
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,-
tlken out and this tube restored to its?
normal condition. hearing will be de-_
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth-
ing but an inflamed conditiOn of the
mucous surfaces.

' POSTMASTER AT $1.92 A we 1-K.
_. that Is What a Penuoylvanla Oflleo Pay!
and Knorr \Von't Have It.
The economy axe of the Postmaster-
eneral has been wielded with telling
affect in the charming little suburb of
Bustleton, says the . Philadelphia
l‘lmes. Jacob S. Knorr, who has acted
its postmaster at that place, has been
receiving $300 per year for his services
for the four yea:s that he has held the
office. Mr. Knoir is a good Democrat
and believed that .when the political
head of the Philadelphia Poetomce _
:hanged it would be better for him to
offer his resignation rather than be re-
:uested to resign.
Accordingly, on Oct. 4 of last year he
tendered his resignation and said that
he was prepared to turn over the office
to his successor at any time.- He has
not been relieved as yet. The checks‘
he received for October and November
were sat' sfactory, but when he opened
his official letter this week and took
therefromthe official check for his otfi- "
:ial services he‘wa's struck dumb with
indignation. for, instead of finding a
:heck for $25.65, it read $8.42. Mr.-Knorr
drassed himself in his best suit of
:lothaes and hied mmselr to thermal-
delphia Postofilce, where he was in-
formed for the first time that the sat—
try of the Bistleton office had been re-
duced to $100 per annum. Mr. Knorr'
handed back the check and refused to
sign the receipt acknowledging pay-
ment in full for services rendered dur-
ng the month of December. Out. otthis
salary of $1.92 per week the Postmaster
has to pay his office rent. Mr. Knorr
notified the postal authorities to re-
move the office from his premises with-
in five days. 1 '

Beautiful Lace Patterns. ‘ -
Great is the rage for lace appliquee
in black, white, or cream color, used
on elegant gowns, capes. jackets, fancy
waists, and in high-class millinery.
Adjustable vests, yokes, gulmpes, plas-
trbns, revers, and collars are made of
gulpure in Honiton, Venetian. or Flem-
lsh designs. Very flue old-fashioned
thread patterns in cream color are also
laid over velvet bands and cape-col-
lars, and likewise from beautiful bor-
ders to revers and .spgeading bretellee
on elegant gowns of ceremony.

Curious Fae“.
It is said that cowbells are produce
ed only in tour factories in the United
States, and are made just the same as
they were 100 years ago, and sound the
same. There are 10' sizes.
Notwithstanding the enormous fruit
production in America, and in spite of
the tariff discouragements, the United
States actually import from Europe
seven hundred million of orange: 8

The seeds or the “Philippine bean"
from the coast near Manila so closely
resemble the quartz pebbles, among
which they fall, in shape, size, color
and hardness as to be almost indis-
tinguishable.
