DEWEY AND THE DUTCHMAN The Raleigh's Captain, J. B. Cogh lan Tells About it. Captain J. B. Coghlan and his officers of the. United States cruiser Raleigh, were entertained by the Union league Club at New Yorlc reeentlv. The dining room was - handsomely decorated with Ameri can and British flags. Captain Coghlan was called upon to speak. He accepted, he said, all the good things that have been said about him and his men were meant for Admiral Dewey. "Ever' day we were with him," he added, "we learn more and more to love him, and more and more how the country's interests were safe in his hands, and how he could do nothing but that which would redound to the country's credit. 1 Throughout those long, weary; months of waiting and the most out rageous nagging that anybody could suffer, wearing him to the very bone, he held himself up and he held us up with him." Then Captan Coghlan told the followfng story of his admiral: "An officer of our friend, Ad miral Von Diedrich, came down one day to make a complaint. It was my pleasure to step out on the deck just as he came aboard jt 1 was partly by accident and partly by design. I heard him tell the admiral about his complaint, and I heard the admiral reply: "Tell your admiral those ships of his must stop when I say so. I wish to make the blockade of this harbor complete.' ,'The German officer replied: 'But we fly the flag.' "The reply of the admiral was just like Dewey. He said: 'Those flags can be bought at a half a dollar a yard anywhere. ' "There was no fun in that ex pression of the admiral. He told the officer that anyone could fly a German flag, and that a whole Spanish fleet might come on him with German flags up. Then h. drew back and stroked his moustache. He has a great habit of stroking his moustache when he gets mad. He said: " 'Tell your admiral I am block ading here. Now, note carefully what I say, and tell your admiral that I say it. I have been making this blockade as easy for everybody as I could, but I am getting tired of the puerile work here. It has been of such character that a man would not notice it, although children might fight over it, but the time has come when it must stop. Tell your admiral that the slightest in fraction of any rule will mean but one thing. That will be war. It will be so accepted and resented immediately. If you people are ready for war with the United States, they can have it any time.' "I am free to admit that it al most took my breath away, it came so suddenly. We had expected it all along, but things you have been expecting always come unex pectedly. As he left with his face about this I ong (indicating by hold ing up his hands far apart), the German said to me: "I think your admiral does not exactly understand.' "Not only does he understand,' I told him, 'but he means what he says, and you had better look out.' "After that they did not breathe more than four times successively without permission." xc is estimated mat mere are 250,000 women domestic servants in London and that 70,000 of these are always out of situations or changing their places.

New York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheu matism. "I had a. severe attack lately," he says, "and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own ubo and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequalled.

When all America wants to have its fortune told it has only to apply to Mile. Couesdon of Paris, mid it can learn all the things that ever may hitppen or that anyone makes a guess will happen, to the United States, North and South America and the rest of the world. Mile. Couesdon 1ms heretofore confined her predictions mainly to Paris and the Parisians, but now she is going to seek a broader field of operations. She made a big name for herself at home, but she is worthy of still wider fame. The Angel Gabriel it is, according to her own assertion, who inspires her and fills her lips with wisdom, and she sees no reason why Gabriel should not do as well for America as for lM.ii.ce. Whenever a charity bazaar burns down or a president dies or a great scandal occurs in public life in France, it is fashionable now to turn back the page's of one's memory and discover that Mile. Couesdon prophesied all about it just a year to a day in advance. She did not prophesy the Spanish American war, but that is simply because she had not yet turned her attention to America, or perhaps because her press agent forgot at the time the war began to send out notice, that a prophesy had been made. But she has changed all that now. With much emotion of counte nance and many herce rhymes, Mile. Couesdon announced the other day that there was a great war in store for the United States, and that before lone the entire American hemisphere would be united in one government under the Stars and Stripes. She also dabbled in personal and domestic affairs and told the fate of the presi dent and the future of American women up to the time when they abolish divorce. "War will come to America," says the prophetess, "and it will not be easy." Then she ad ministers a consolation and says that the United States will win out, and be left with the greatest navy on earth. Perhaps Mille. Couesdon is prejudiced, but she says that England is to be the enemy of the United States, and that France is going to be friendly, while Ger many will not fight. And after the English lion has had his mane rubbed in the gutter, then the good times lor the United States are to come. There will be Mexico crying for admission, and so happy after admitted to the Union that all South America will make a rush for best places at the annexation feast. Canada will object to being swallowed, but will finally come in. As to President McKinley, he is an easy nut to crack for Mile. Couesdon. He will be re-elected. He will get very sick. He will get very well again, and everybody will be happy. The negros will be good soldiers. The United States will make a lauguage with dominion from pole to pole. The evil of divorce will become so great that an American Jeanne d'Arc will rise to free her burdened sisters, and divorce will be done with forever. What is to take its place Mile. Couesdon does not say. Mile. Couesdon is unmarried. She says that if she should take to herself a husband Gabriel would desert her and she could never prophesy any more. She is a drk haired woman of prepossessing ap pearance. When she prophesies she closes her eyes and looks heavenly as well as she can. When she stops prophesying she iiilmd liar fnp. She is bulling the market just nt present in Pari" 'ilh a prophesy nboutacmiiitigkii'K''lfra"ce' m,(1 French politicians are goiiiK to her in swarms, each one hoping that Gabriel will cause her to. my in confidence and for publication only.
