True greatness does not consist in de
traction of rivals nor is eminence suc
cessfully attained by rimming others
down. Just estimates of Sampson and
Schley can Vie formed without invidious
comparisons, especially so as their p cu
liar fields of achievement lie in different
directions Announcnient of the pn si
dent's intention to reward both Sam pi on
and Schley for promotion is a sure si. lial
or popular discussion of tho merit of
two commanders, in which, it must be
expected, detraction of one by friet ds
of the other will be in dinger ofelb,w-
ing discerning judgment olF the stage.
Santiago is Schley's victory. But it
is also in a sense fully as essential and
creditable, Sampson's. Without the
work of either it could not have been ac
hieve!. The discerning will notice tl at
naval battles nowadays are not won by
brayery or dash alone. Orvera was
brave and decisive enough, but his slrps
went to pieces because they had no

"Sunday seemed to be the choice day in
this war especially with the navy. Then
Shaftar started to make the final advance
on Santiago on the same day.
A dispatch received at Portland states
that Santiago surrendered uncondition
ally to the American forces under Gen
oral Shatter, at 11:30 a. m., Thursday.
Th Bennington will go to the La
drones and bold possession of those
islands while the cruiser Philadelphia
will go to Honolulu and raise the Ameri
can flag.
It is probable that three of the gun
boats in the fight at Santiago may be
aayed, the Viicaya, Maria Te'esa and
Cristobal Colon. These vessels may
yet flv the American flag.
Camaba bas concluded that be likes to
cruise in the Suez canal. No sooner
does he get through the canal than he
turns around and comes back, but it re
quires high toll to do this canal act and
Spain can hardly afford to do It again
soon. There is no doubt Camara has
the same curiosity to see an American
admiral that Cervera had.
Bkpr!Sbntativ Tongue who was
chosen orator by the Sons of the Ameri
can Revolution gave an address at the
base of Washington Monument on the
Fourth at Washington D. C. Mr.
Tongue's address is spoken of very
highly. He predicted the loss of all her
colonies to Spain and their coming under
the American flag.
A Grbat deal is being said by the
populietic press about the appointment
of the sons of prominent people to po
sitions In tbe army. In most of these
cases the appointee has had considera
ble training and is better qualified than
a man whose training is not on the mil
itary lines. All of the people forget to
put Colonel Bryan on tbe list. Where
did he get hw ability to be a colonel?
in condition. Cervera's men were brave
j enough, but the training in care of gnns
and use of them which distinguished the
American squadron had in their rise
been neglected. Condition of tools at d
skill In their use have made the diffir-
ence between the American and Span
iah squadrons in every engagement of
tbe war.
Sampson has been laying the founda
tion of the Santiago victory for maiy
years. Himself a poor workingman in
youth, and the son of a day laborer, I e
is the mechanical ingenuity and applica
tion which puts America at the head i f
naval as well as industrial achievement ,
and which Spain has scorned to her con
fusion. The armament of the new navy
the perfect condition of its guns, the con
stant state of preparedness in which ou
fleet was kept, are Sampson's work
Nobody knows quite so much aix.ni'
ordnance as Sampson, Hard study ami
constant effort have given him for man
years authoritative eminence on modem
armor and armament, and on the use
and comparative value of exploiivee.
As long ago as the establishment ol the
naval war college at Newport, Sampson
was the instructor on torpedoes. As in
spector of ordnance at the Washington
navy-yard, he assisted in the installment
of tbe present magnificent gun factory,
and as chief of the bureau ot naval
ordnance he did the foundation work
without which Santiago would have been
impossible. No better evidence of his
naval fitness could be given than the
fact that the squadron at Santiago was
all in readiness for the escaping fleet.
And it was Schley's victory. All this
preparation would have gone for nothing
if the engines, ready, had not been
turned ; if the guns and rangefinden,
clean as a watch and adjusted as ac
curately as a chronometer had not been
quickly brought into service. In the
keystone of the victory's arch, the
Brooklyn did tbe vital work by over
hauling the Cristobal Colon and making
tbe capture of the enemy complete
This is an act consistent with the whole
career of Schley, which is an embodi
ment of the bravery, decision and dash
of the American navy, shown when he
took the Union ride in 1801, at the
Cbincha islands and San Salvador in
1865, on Salee river in 1871, in his res
cue of a shipwrecked crew on Tristan d
Acunha a few years later, in his rescue
of Greely in 1884, and in the Valparaiso
troubles in 1891.
It is just and fitting, therefore, that
both commanders should be promoted.
Each won the victory. Each represents
a type of naval excellence as indispen
sable for our future as it has been effec
tive in these triumphs of Manila and
Santiago, which, for their overwhelming
successes, are, and must continue to he,
the wonder of the world. Oregonian.

Raktinq lumber to San Francisco
from Portland is considered a success.
The big raft of Inman Poulaen & Co.
has arrived ia San Francisco with a loss
of about 500,000 feet. This was caused
by the raft parting in the middle but it
was so constructed that the two parts
vers taken up and towed in. The trip
was yerjr rough. The projectors will
immediately proceed to get another raft

of this county that the Union forces have

cases, dead men were lying in the blood.
Five poor chas died on the way to tho
ship. They were afterward buried with
military honors from the Iowa.
"Some examples of heroism or, more
properly, devotion to discipline and duty,
could never be surpassed, Cue mau on
the lost Viicaya had his left arm almost
shot off just below the shoulder, The
fragments were hanging by a small piece
of skin. But he climbed over the Bide
and saluted as if on a visit ot ceremony.
Immediately after him came a strong
hearted sailor, whose left leg had been
shot off above the knee, lie was hoisted
on board the Iowa with a tackle, but
never a whimper came from him,
"Gradually the mangled bodies and
naked accumulated until it would have
been almost difficult to recognise the
Iowa as a United States battle-ship.
Blood was all over her usually white
quarterdeck, and 272 naked men were
being.supplied with water and food,
"Finally came the boats with Captain
Eulate, commander of the Vixcaya, for
whom a chair was lowered over the side,
as he was evidently wounded. The
captain's guard of marines was swung
up on tbe quarterdeck to salute him, and
I stood waiting to welcome him. As the
chair was placed on the deck, the ma
rines presented arms. Captain Eulate
raised himself from the chair, saluted
me with grave dignity, unbuckled his
belt, and, holding the hilt of tbe sword
before him, kissed it reverently, with
tears in his eyes, and then surrendered.
Of course I declined to receive his sword,
and as the crew of tbe Iowa saw this,
they cheered like wild men.
"In the meantime, 30 officers of the
Vizcaya had been picked up with 372 of
her crew. Our wardroom and steerage
officers gave up their staterooms and
furnished food, clothing and tobacco to
the naked sailors, and each was given all
the corned beef, coffee and hardtack he
could eat. Tbe war has assumed an
other aspect."

A Rat Catcher's Htorr.
There are tricks in all trades, and '
probably as many in that of the profes-,
sinnal rat catcher as in any other line.
According to the story of a man who
bas made a barrel of money in that
business, out who has sinco drifted in
to other pursuits, it was once easier to 1
make a living catching rats than by '
running a shell game at a country fair. :
"I used to nee ferrets for tbe extermi
nation cf the rodents," be said, "and
wbeu I received au order to clear a
warehouse of tbe pests I always insisted
that the pay should be gauged by the
number of rats killed at so much per
bead. I carried the ferrets in a big
wooden box, with a false bottom. In a
secret drawer underneath I would place
four or five dozen live rats before start
ing out, let tbem run loose upon reucb
ing the place to be rid of rodents, and
then r-e the ferrets. Of course, with
60 or 60 rats running around loose, there
was always a great slaughter, and some
times tbe ferrets would kill nearly all
the rats I turned free. In this way I
was always sure of receiviug handsome
remuneration for an evening's work up
on tbe presentation of tbe carcases to
the parties wbo employed me." Phil

At this period tbe second Mrs. Eooth,
always a nervous invalid, began to show
signs of the mental lack of balance
which finally sapped her own lifo and
almost broke his heart. During her fre
quent attacks at Saratoga and later,
when the two families met in New
York and in London, sometimes ehu
was very trying, but I nover knew bim
to show a sign or utter a word of impa
tience. He bore meekly with everything
she said and did, made excuses for her,
concealed her irritability and ber irre
sponsibility as much as possible. He
held her in bis arms, as if she were a
baby, for hours and nights together
without a murmur, and be showed a do-,
votion that hardly can be equaled

so far as perfection can be attained. They mark the highest point in pill
progress. To many people, any pill is a fit pill, and so long as it acts
they don't consider whether there's any recoil in the action. Dynamite
has a very moving effect, and so has an earthquake, but the consequences
that follow are apt to be disastrous. There arc pills as damaging as
dyr.amite and as dangerous as an earthquake. Dr. Aycr's Pills arc

and their use is not followed by violent reaction. A grain of sand stops
a watch. You don't use blasting powder to eject the grain and start the
mechanism going again. The machinery of the body is more fearfully
and wonderfully made than a watch, and needs even greater delicacy in
dealing with it. Ayers Pills give just the necessary stimulus to start the
bowels into healthy action. They correct the ill-conditioned liver and
give a healthy tone to the stomach. Thus they cure dyspepsia, sick
headache, heartburn, constipation, piles, and all diseases that grow out of
the disordered condition of the liver, stomach, or bowels.
