Trust the Captain.
When the captain is on the bridge,
trying to sail the ship into port through
Hicks and breakers, with mines and
torpedoes on every hand, it is a good
’7h‘ing‘for the Officers and crew to keep
still and wait for directions. “Then
they. take to shouting and quarrcling
and calling the captain names, it does
not conduce to the safety of the ship.

The redemption of Cuba is an assured
fact. Spain will not renew the attempt
at. subjugation and the relief of the
people and the establishment of their
freedom is only a question of time and
means. If the President has reason to
believe that he can bring about the
determined result most efiectively
without the uncertainty and delay, the
sufiering and loss, the indefinite sacri-
fice of life and treasure that immediate
.intenvention must involve, he is en-
titled to have his plans respected, at
least till they have failed.
Loyalty to country requires this as
much as it requires an army to respect
the purposes of its general in the field.

TURNED OUT HIS USUAL LUCK.
Nickle He Tried to Sam; Dishnnl's-il)’ Cost
Him a. Situation. .
There are some people who seem to
be born to bad luck. Misfortune seems ,
to shake hands with them at every
turn in their lives. A rising young: man
on the north side has had a distressing
experience lately which he attributes
to a. perpetual evil genius which I‘OL
lows him. ‘
Some time last fall when in 3 Clark
street cable car he became deeply in-
terested in the paper which he had just
bought and paid his fare twice. As
soon as it flashed across his mind he
felt very flat, but determined to get it
back some day. Consequently. from
that time forth a. good deal of at-
tention while on the street cars was di—
rected toward this end. This laudable
design was partly balked because he
did not travel so much as formerly,
having lost his situation. But a friend
of his negotiated an opening for him.
One morning a week or so ago he was
on his way down to slip into this berth,
having nothing to do but introduce
himself to the proprietor. He felt in
.n. very good humor, and he bethought
himself Of his purpose to recover the
nickel. The car was unusually crowded.
He busied himself in a. newspaper and
looked very demure. For once at least
in his life his perseverance was re—
warded. He got down without paying
anything. But he was six or eight
times on the point of giving up, because
of the looks that his fellow passengers
gave him. There was-a portly gentle-
man seated directly opposite .who
seemed especially indignant, but con—
trary to the young man‘s expectations
he did not call the conductor’s atten—
tion to him. He stepped off the car at
Washington street in a better humor
than he had been in for months. Then
he stopped to have his shoes shined.
This done he hurried Off to the Office of
his prospective employer, congratulat-
ing himself that for once in his life he
had escaped his perennial bad luck. But
his cheerfulness faded into horror when
on appearing before the magnate he
discovered him to be no other than
the man who had sat opposite to him
in the car. He did not get the Situation.

M RS. CAPTAIN SIGSBEE.
She Comes of Military Stock and is Not
Afraid of War.
Mrs. Sigsbee comes of military stock
and is used to the alarms of war. Her
house at Washington is the rendezvous
for naval Officers at the capital, by
whom she is highly esteemed. They
entertain but little, but when they do
their receptions and dinners are charm-
ing. In fact both the captain and his
wife are exceedingly popular among
all classes in Washington. Mrs. SigS-
bee received much information from
her husband about the disaster to the
Maine, but She considered herself sub-
ject to naval orders and would not dis-
close her knowledge, even to her most
intimate friends.
MRS. SIGSBEE.
Of medium height, with broad shoul-
ders, a spare frame, and hair and mus-
tache just beginning to turn gray, Cap-
tain Sigsbee looks like a. man capable
of coping with almost every difficulty
which might arise in the service. In
fact, his experience in almost every
branch of the navy has fitted him for
emergencies. Born in Albany County,
Maine, fifty—two years ago, he moved
to New York and was appointed as a
cadet in the Naval Academy from that
State in 1859.
Shining tho Responsibility.
“It has been proved by half a dozen
witnesses," said the Police Magistrate,
“that you are selling bread under
weight. Have you any explanation
to Offer?”
"The flour's so had these days, your
honor," replied the honest baker, look—
ing the magistrate fearlessly in the
eye, "that my conscience won't let me
sell it to the people in greater quanti-
ties than I can help.”—Chicago Tri-
“Do you know a. good tonic for
nervous persons, Simpkins?”
“No; what I want. to find is a good
tonic for peOple who have to live with
them.”—Boston Traveler. .

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. TOO frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that _ Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being 00mpellcd to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a. medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt of three two-1
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamron, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness Of this offer.
