Another War with Mexico.
"In May. 187.-,, Admiral I Sever

e l,vmni8 affair nt Santiago, and
je fooling towanl the Moxk-aus and
Cubans was none too cordial. The
Narragansett reached La Pass, near the
.outhoru end of the peninsula, and we
ao sooner got ashore tl.au we heard
runt an American mining en-ineer and
some Englishmen who owned the mine
were prisoners In their mining shan
ks, forty miles back of La Pass, iu
the mountains. The American had re
sented an insult, a quarrel followed,
ind the American killed two Mexicans.
I he friends of the latter swore they'd
kill the Yankee and the Englishmen
too, and the latter were soon obliged
to barricade themselves. This siege
Had been on for several days when we
Jropped anchor.
"As soon as Commander Dewey
hoard of it he was very much inter
ested. The next day he sent a mes
senger to the Mexican colonel lu La
I'az, who had a garrison of GOO sol
iiers there, asking him what he was
Solng to do to give the American a
trial before he was shot.
" 'Oil, lip jrnt into th tr"'.!''!? ht him
get out,' said the Mexican.
"Commander Dewey didn't like this
reply, and the more he thought about
t the angrier he got. The next fore
noon he sent a note to the Mexican
solonel telling him that an American
citizen's life was lu danger, and that
the man was entitled to a fair trial.
He told the colonel that he would al
low him just twenty-four horns to res
cue the American and protect the En
glishmen. If at the end of that time
relief was not on its way to the little
lining party he would bombard La
Paz ami burn It.
"When we heard what Dewey had
Jone we were all frightened.
" 'Does he mean it?' we asked one
another.
"As for myself, I was soon satisfied
that he meant every word of it. I was
In command of the guns. We had only
two old howitzers on the Narragausett,
the larger guns having been left tem
porarily at the Mare Island navy yard.
" 'Get those howitzers ready for to
morrow morning and Inspect all the
small arms and ammunition,' said
Dewey to me. Then he called the men
to quarters and estimated that of the
crew of about 120 we could land ninety
Jble, armed men as a storming force.
We drilled the men all that afternoon
and far Into the night. That night, on
Commander Dewey's order, we steam
ed to a point commanding the princl
pal streets cl' La I'az and trained the
aowitzers on the town. By next moru
.ng we were all ready to begin a sec
jnd war against Mexico.
"At daybreak a Mexican corporal
came on board with a message from
his colonel saying that the Narragau
sett commander's request would be
complied with. Early that morning
tve watched 300 armed Mexican sol
Jiers start for the mining camp, and
we kept the old howitzers trained on
La I'az till the soldiers returned with
the American engineer. When Dewey
reported to Washington on the matter
he minimized the importance of it, and
!t was passed over as a mere incident.
Lieutenants Harris and Wright were
sn the Xarragansett then, and Harris,
at least, was with the fleet at Manila,
It Is somewhat singular that at that
time, when we were expecting a dec
laration of war against Spain on ac
count of the Vlrgiulus affair, Com
aiandor Dewey had his plans all made

Sterling Elliott of Newton, Mass., w ho
is the recognized head of the League
of American Wheelmen. Because of
his familiarity with all phases of bi
cycle matters he is eminently fitted to
deal with the problem. Mr. Elliott has
lately been granted a patent for a stand
which permits the storing of a wheel
in the least possible floor area. The
economy of space is secured by placing
the bicycle on end that is, resting
alone on the rear wheel, which is ac
complished by the aid of two wall sup
ports, each adapted to receive and hold
the rim of a wheel. In order to make
the bicycle absolutely secure a metal
loop is hinged on the top one of these
supports and after the wheel has been
placed in position the loop is dropped
over the front wheel, engaging it
firmly.

In nearly all the dreadful accidents
which happen to painters falling from

while changes are being made in the
position of the supporting planks. A

these changes is made by Julius Stone
of Boston, Mass. By Its use a painter

two chairs, one below the other, is sus

Mark Twain rind General Sherman.
Some man who wants to spoil a good
story has raised a direct issue of verac
ity between Mark Twain and the late
General William T. Sherman. Mark
Twnln, in the published accounts of his
recent interview with Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, makes the emperor
offer, after Twain had apologized for
forgetting his German orntlon, to
translate it for him from English into
German. General Sherman, on the
other hand, in the diary of his trip to
Austria in 1872, has Francis Joseph
apologizing because he is unable to
speak English.

Gentlemen I find Pe-ru-na to be an

those who suffer from depression from
the heat of the summer will find no

Judson W. Lyons.
No man ia bettter known in the
financial world than Judson V. Lyons.
His name on every piece of money
of recent date, makes his signaturo one
of the most familiar ones in the United
States. Hon. Lvons address is Au

prominent and influential politician.
He is a particular f.iond of President
McKinley.
Remember that cholera morbus,
cholera infantum, summer com
plaint, bilious colic, diarrhoea and
dysentery are each and all catarrh
of the bowels. Catarrh is the only
correct name for these affections.
Pe-iu-na is an absolute specific for
' these ailments, which are so oom-
mo.i in summer. Dr. Hart.nan, in
a practice of over forty years, never
lost a single case of cholera infan
tum, dysentary, diarrhoea, or chol

was Pe-ru-na. Those desiring
