The country will endotae Admiral Dewev'i professional estimate of the technical paints at issue in the Schley case, and will heartily ratify hie tribute to Admiral Seta ley 'i gallant conduct off Santiago and glorious leaderahip in the great victory of July 3. It ia enough for the public to know that Dewey doei not follow the conclusions ol Benham and Ramsey in several counts, and that be haa sense and spirit enough to rise above hair splitting to the level of net achievement. The essential thing in matters of this kind is not, as certain naval authoities seem to think or perhaps to pretend, a minute and slavish subservience to the text of orders, but it ii first, the right purpose, and, second, results. Suppose 8chley thought he ought to go to Key West and coal, and suppose be was wrong ia he to be censured because he didn't go counter to his beat judgment T Perhapa ao, in some narrow, technical seme, but not in any large sense involv ing the conduct of actual war. A man ofteu has to disobey oiders, military and naval annals are full of such viola' tions, which time has abundantly ap proved . .Besides this popular rough sense of the requirements of public policy, there is widespread resentment at the remark' able display ol injustice to which the Navy Department has been accessory, Tbey told Schley that Cervera was at Cienfucgos why haa nobody been ques tioned as to this? They told bim that Cervera was positively not at Santiago- is no blame to be assigned for this? Sigsbee gave erroneous information and Sampson issued wrong orders; but the only activity displayed by them bat been in derogation of the man who won a victory In spite of them. Congress should probe Ibis anti Schley conspiracy to the bottom. Mean while, what is more fitting than that the two men who fought and won the war with Spain should be found stand' ing together?

Earnest Seton-Thompson's new book Tun Lives of the Iluiilud" has a pre face which explains his aim as it was not explained in bis previous work. He says: My chief motive, my most earnest un derlying wish, has been to stop the ex termination ot harmless wild animals not for their sakes, but for ours, firmly believing that each of our native wild creatures is in itself a precious heritage that ws have no right to destroy or put beyond the reach of our children." This is a view of the cate which ii certainly sensible. Mr. Beton-Thomas does not go so far as to insist that no animals shall be killed, or anything of that sort. Ho merely protat-ts against the ruthleu and reckless slaughter of animals that do no harm, and often do good ; which ate of value to the artist ami the naturalist, and have no value to the hunter beyond the zest of th chape and Hie comparatively small sum received for horns, akin or fifth. The extermination of the II am info, of th ueprey, of the cimarren, of the bison, i more than a possibility, and should it actually occur, the animals can never te replaced. Does anybody suppose that half a dor. -n pairs of handsome horns preset ved in a museum or in somebody's library are more valuable than the liv ing animal, preserved in a park, happy, alive and free? Yet peoplo will pay large sums of money for the one end not for the other, overlooking the patent (act that if the animal is preserved, the tupply of horns and skins and things will continue, and if the species ia ex terminated, that will be the end of that kind of decoration. $30 Mugs. It Is reported from Fort Stevens at the mouth of the Columbia river, that a woikman theie recently unearthed 2H old slug! of 150 denomination. Discov ery ii laid to have been within the forti ficationi. Whether the gold was in a box or lying loose was not learned. Similar discoveries of gold have been made in Foit Colnmbia by workmen who have discovered a number ol obso lete t-'tO pieces. Capt. ticarboro, after whom the beads were named, is said to have secreted his wealth in the ground, and the alugs found on the north shore are believed to have been buried by him Presumably some of the early settlers buried those said to have been found at Fort Stevens.

The Medford Mail lays that some few weeks ago an applepacker in the em ploy ol J. A. Whitman, discovered an pple upon which waa growing what be thought might be a new apeciei of pest, but it proves to have been instead a destroyer of pests. Upon the apple n question there were found several hairlike stalks, firmly adhered to the surface of the apple. They were gray in color, about an inch in length and near the end was what seemed to be a small ump or growth. The apple was sent to the Oregon Agricultural college with request that a report be made on it. The reply sayi : "The fungus infesting the apple accompanying your letter of the 25th, proves to be no fundus at all but the ejgi of one of the most bene ficial insects, the Green Lace Wing, or Golden Eyes, as it is sometimes called. The larvae of this insect are very vora cious, tending upon almost all sorts of insects and the parent, in order to pro tect the eggs that hatch last from the larvae that batch first, ia obliged to de posit ber eggi upon the endi of the long slender stalks." An Evangelist' Story. "I suffered for years with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various remedies but did not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough Cure," write Rev. Jauiei Kirkman, evangelist of Belle Kiver, III. "I have no hesitation in recommend' ing it to all sufferers from maladies of this kind." One Minute Cough Cure affords immediate relief for coughs, colda and all kinds of throat and lung troubles. For croup it is unequalled Absolutely safe. Very pleasant to take, never fails and ia really a favorite with the children. They like It. Dr Kretner. Vinegar from Prunes. The following extract ii taken from an article that appeared recently in the San Francisco Call : It is to be boned that prunei may be louod suitable for vinegar. Prunes being very sweat will produce a large quantity either of alco hol or of vinegar. The vinegar produc ed from prune juice in Oregon is said to be io itrong aa to require ita dilution by one-bait to bring it down to the com mercial standard. There is little doubt that the French peoplo knuw all about the value of prunes for vinegar, and as one of the Oregon professors has been studying the prune industry In France, he has very likely returned with ideas which are being developed in practice. But the question of profit cannot be answered until we lee how people like prune vinegar. While there il a great deal of wine vinegar used, and probably very much more ot cheap adulterations falsely called vinegar, nothing baa yet been able to displace the good old-fashioned cider yinegar ai the itandard for the best. But the manufacture of vinegar constitutes a very large industry. Few people, in fact, have any idea of its magnitude, In the slate of Ner York it is the eubjrct of much legislation for establish ing a standard and protecting it from the competition of adulterations. If the prune vinegar proves satisfactory to consumers, its manufacture will prove of great value to our prune growers as an outlut for the inferior stocks which to some extent, they cannot avoid pro ducing.

The particular! of this occurrence are quite romautlo and show that facta rs stranger than fiction. When Joly was a young pi an he lived with a rich spinster annt, his own par enti having died long before. When he grew to be a msn she wanted bim to devote himself to the priesthood, but be, being of a more worldly turn of mind, wanted to aee the world and travel. Consequently he became tha preceptor of a prince, whom he accom panied on a trip through different countries.

That photo graphs, when compared with the ones that were taken tbs other night, made it possible to tell accurately tbe path, site and distance of the planrt from the earth. The astronomers bavs determined that the planet la probably not mas than so miles In diameter, and at times cornea nearer ths earth than any otner planet, it be Ion-re to a group of planet that come between Mare and Jupiter,; but Eros breaks away and often corneal trrU side of Mara, thus belli nearer ths earth than any celestial body axeept the moon. These observations will continue at the observatory until about the first of March, when it ia Intended to con tinue the observations from the sta tion In Routh America, where It la be lieved th planet will be visible month lunger than Id any other part ol the worm.
