New Yoi:k, July 27. A Ha aid
special from Newport, Rhode Island,
says: Tho board appointed by secre
tary of the Navy Whitney to inspect
the" new government cruiser Atlanta,
met on board last Msnday and the
official report will bo made public in
a few days. The result of the labors
of the board may be summarized as
follows; The ship at present is prac
tically useless: her structure appears
to be strong and free from weakness,
but her armament is Jiorsdu combat.
The deck of the vessel remains intact,
the gun carriages, clip circle and
clips will have to be repaired before
any further tests can be made. This
portion of the fittings of the vessel,
evidently, aro not intended to retard
the recoil of the gans and the dam
age done is in excess of what was
reasonable. This is manifest from
the location of the six-inch guns:
that if the eight-inch gnna weie in
perfect order the six-inch guns would
bo idle, as it would be impossible to
work both guns nt tho same time.
The smaller secondary battery is also
useless while either the eight or the
six-inch gtms are fired. The result is
that tho Atlanta as a vessel of war,
as far as her armament is now ar
ranged, is absolutely worthless.

PROVED AN ALIBI.
Salem, July 26. This morning Joe
Blackburn, arrested last week as
leader of the gang which lynched
Kelty, was taken to Dallas by the of
ficers for examination. Many wit
nesses were examined, among whom
were Laughlin and Sappington, of
North Yamhill, who testified, that
they had seen Blackburn at North
Yamhill as late as nine o'clock on
the evening before Kelty was lynched.
A hired man of Blackburn's
swore that he saw him in bed at 530
the next morning. Blackburn, there
fore, almost conclusively proved an
alibi. The announcement that de
fendant would be discharged from
custody was received with uproarious
applause by the crowd. It is not
probable that in view of the culmin
ation of the first attempt to success
fully apprehend and convict the
lynchers any more arrests will at
present be made.
Some Restaurant Mysteries.
Here is what Edward Harrigan says
that he heard while sitting five min
utes in aBIeecker street restaurant re
cently: "Stack er whites."
Half a minnte later a plate of buck
wheat cakes wero placed before a cus
tomer. "Boil de Micks wid de jackets on."
Ont of a soiall wicket window came
a plate of nnpeeled potatoes.
"Try a flop an' have it bloody."
That meant a rare beefsteak.
"Brass band widout de leader, four
steps and draw one in de darkP'
Ont of the wicket window came a
plate of baked beans, four slices of
bread and a cup of black coffee. A
small, tough young man, covered over
with a mantle of well-starched linen,
swaggered up to the little wicket and
yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Boil three cackles two and roll
out three steps!"
Three eggs with as many slices of
bread were handed eut:
"A mysterious stranger and one
pale Chinaman 1"
He desired a plate of hash and a
cup of tea. N. Y. Sun.
Gie Them a Chanre!
That is to say, jour lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. " And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu
monia, catarrh, consumption or any of
the family of throat aud nose and head
and lung obstruction, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them,
that is to take Boschee's German
Syrrip, which any druggist will sell
you at 75 cents, a bottle. Even if
everything else has failed yon, you
may depend upon this for certain.
A Sensible Child.
A few days ago atPomeroy, W. T.,
the child of P. F. Noyer, fell into a
well seventy feet deep, and had the
presence of mind to clasp the bucket
rope, which accompanied her to the
bottom. The mother, on missing the
child, went to the well and began to
turn the windlass, and so found her
child was on board the rope below.
About the time the mother gave out,
the bucket from the top met the one

and rest her mother, who soon rallied
sufficient strength to pull her jewel
to the top. The child sustained only
a few bruises.
Famous Women.
Madame Trebelli, the greatest of
living contraltos who has traveled
extensively, in fact visited every
county and city of note in the world,
has just departed from the slope -of
the Pacific, and often expressing the
greatest admiration for the beauty
and grandeur of our Scenery and the
delightful mildness of our climate,
left the following written note as a
living expression of her opinion in
the hands of a Portland druggist, the
original of which can be seen on de
