our The New England States Give Proof ' ol the Wonderful Power of a Famous From the Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Vt. N o more picturesque spot could be found in the Green Mountain State than that of Plymouth. It is situated far up in the Black River Valley, twelve miles from Ludlow and on the stage road from Lunllow to WOodstock. It is surrounded by high hills, which form part of the Green Moun- tain range. Aside from farming, the prin- cipal industry is that of quarrying and burn- ing lime. One of the first to engage in the lime busi- ness in that town was Nathan Hall, who died about two months ago‘ at the great age of 88 years. He was aman of superior in- telligence and accumulated a large property. In fact, for more than two generations the name of Hall has been associated with the lime business at this place. One of the sons of Nathan Hall is Eleazer Hall, who is still carrying on the lime busi- ness. The report was circulating largely some time ago that his two daughters had received great benefit from the use of Dr. Williains’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and your correspondent called on Mr. Hall to ascertain the real facts in the case. Mr. Hall, and also his wife, spoke freely and enthusiastically of what this remedy had done for their daughters, Cora and Nellie. Referring to this statement of her husband Mrs. Hall said: “ It is true, every word of it, and if I only could reach the tired and worn mothers of «this land, who daily sink down, how much good I coulddo by telling this story of my- Cora. I have had people stop me in the road to inquire what it was that helped her, and truly I could say, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.

At one time he lived in Michigan, where he followed the vocation of a luniberman, and while so engaged, in lifting a heavy log he strained the small of his back so badly that he could work no more. While laid up with this painful injury, Mr. Grant caught cold, which settled in his kidneys. ' The services of a prominent physician were obtained, who said it was kidney dis- ease but that it would soon be cured, and believing in the doctor’s skill, placed him- self under treatment. Mr. Grant says: “Instead of improving I daily grew worse, my- fiesh left me, and I was so weak and ' suffered such pain on attempting to. walk that I absolutely 'could not move.

To return to Pulitzer, has appointed Foster Coates. editor of The Evening World in place of Earnest 0. Chamberlain. The condition of the latter is very serious, being the result of protracted excitement on the Cuban question, under which both mind and body were impaired. The latest dis- play of this condition was the impres- sion that war had been declared, which he announced in head lines weeks ago. An entire edition was printed before the error was detected by his associ- | ates, but it was suppressed before any reached the public. It was certainly a very narrow escape, much like that of The erald, which suppressed an entire by,a recent statement in its own col- "’»ligm‘ris. A1 report was circulated that J.

As boss of the galley, and general "manager of the mess cooks, superintendent of. the stewards and mess attendants, and ov- erseer-lnechiei'o'f ‘an tha’tappertainsto the very impdrtant business of eating on board a man-of-war, the ship’s cock is a good deal of’a blue jacket, and he: needs to be very carefully handled and nursed by all hands forward. Among petty ofllcers he is second only to the master-at-arms in the degree of re- spect that he exacts and receives at the hands of the ship’s company. Sailors and marines of experience fully understand the importance of standing well in his estimation. While they are perfectly well aware that they’ll get their rations, anyhow, even if they happen to be regarded with slanting eye by the ship's cook, they are bother- ed ‘by the knowledge that to be out of favor with the ship’s cooksis-to be con: sidered not altogether right, genuine or on the level by all hands forward. It has always been thus in the Amer- ican navy. No reasonable explanation can be given why even the old-timers in the service almost invariably seek the ship’s cook’s opinion of new men aboard before passing judgment upon “them, but the fact remains that they 210. The American man-of-war ship’s cook is always a man-o’-war’s man of many years of sailorizing and he works his way into the galley through the possession of certain 'qualities, the most essential of which is that, sort of ready pugnaciousnes'sdhat fits him to give perpetual verbal .or even'fistic bat- tle to mess cooks ..and strikers who develop ideas of their owu about the right way to run a man-o’-war "galley. The man-o‘- war ship’s cock is always a solid man in the physical sense .of the word, and he is capable of very great extremes of friendship or hatred. The man forward who stands in with him gets privately prepared tit-bits and dainties such as never make their ap- pearance on mess tables forward. The man who treats the ship’s cook with indifference has a job to square him- self with the ship’s company. A man-of—war ship’s ecokhas the dozen or so of mess cooks, who do the actual cooking aboard ship, under ab- self’ does not do "any'cooking.

When a mess cock is shorn of the amount of Cooking space on the ranges that he thinks he needs, he can’t get the meals of ‘his mess ready in time for the pip- ing of mess gear. This not only gets him in trouble with his mess, the mem-I bers of which call him many names worse than a blooming Dutch galleon with a jury rig in a head sea, but it gets himup to the mast: and in the eye of the skipper for tardiness in meal servxng. In a word, there is no com- fort or happiness possible for the man- o’war mess cook who betray-s the slightest disinclination to simply re- volve in a remote outer orbit around} the boss of the galley. ’ The Chinese mess cock is more di-. plomatic than the Jap, and he always achieves more success in the galley for this reason. The Chinaman aboard a man-of-war carries his sharp, dis- cerning eye along with him, and the Chinaman in any condition of life seems to possess an instinctive knowl- edge of justth‘e people it is necessary for him to placate in order to create smooth sailing for himself.
