Philadelphia (8peclal).?Nearly 30,000
veterans of the Civil War marched through
the streets of this city. The sidewalks
were crowded with hundreds of thousands
of enthusiastic people.
President McKinley began the day by
driving over the route of the parade, which
took place later, accompanied by members
of his Cabinet and other distinguished
visitors. The party reached the reviewing
3tand at 10 o'clock, and soon afterward the
procession of veterans began to move.
The head of the column moved at 1C
o'olock down_ Broad street. The distance
covered was live miles, ana mere were oo,D00

The President made a visit to the warships
of Rear-Admiral Sampson's squadron
ana went aboard five of them. The visit
of the President to the squadron proved to

When the President was Introduced by the
toastmaster to the diners he said:
"It has given me great pleasure to be asloolnted
with you to-day. I have been
deeply touched by many of the seen*'
which all of us have witnessed. With th?
joyous side of the glad reunion of old com'
rades who fought side by side in a common
cause and for a common oountry, there was
the other sad side, that so many of oui
comrades who two years ago had marched
proudly with you through the City of Buffalo
are no longer in the ranks.
"The blue and the gray march undei

too old for war, but they are all right.
That during last year and this summer we
were able to convene 250,0(70 of the besl

THE KEARSARGE A SUCCESSNew
Type of Battleship Develops Great
Speed on Builders' Trial.
Newport News, Va. (Special).?The battleship
Kearsarge is the fastest vessel of
her class in the United States Navy. She
went out on her trial trip and returned
with all colors flying, and a broom, the
symbol of victory on the water, nailed at
each masthead.
She had attained a speed of 17.25 knots
an hour. This is .05 greater than the speed
made by the Alabama, which went out
drawing not twenty feet of water and with
a displacement of more than 2000 tons less
than 9he will carry when finished, while
the Kearsarge was covered With a year's
| foul growth on her bottom, drew over
twenty-two feet of water, and carried almost
all her dead weight.
I The Kearsarge and her sister ship, the
i Kentuoky, belong to a class of fighting
craft different from the other warships of
I the world. The Kearsarge is the first warl
ship built with superposed turrets, one
forward and one aft, each oarrylng two
i eight-Inch guns in the upper story and
. two thirteen-Inch guns In the lower, or
, main, turret. Tbe oontract price of the
) Kearsarge is 52,250,000, without the usual
I Inducement of a bonus for excess of speed.

men Saved After Terrible Experience.
Charleston, 8. C. (Special).?Shipwreck ai
cannibalism and raving lunacy form the
fabric of a harrowing tale of tbesea brought ^
to Charleiton by Captain Robert MUburn, ju
of the British stea-ushlp Woodruff, bound |y
here from Hamburg. The story or tne ter- m
rible sufferitfg was emphasized by the ap- Ri;
pearance of two of the actors In the hor- a!
rlble tragedy. They are Maurice Andersen ^
and Goodman Thomas, survivors of the ij|
3rew of tho Norwegian bark Drot, which of
jailed from Pascagoula f^r Buenos Ayres 01
on August 3. The men wpr'e picked up from
i raft by the Woodruff 253 miles south of 1
Charleston. Andersen is a raving maniac, t
with only little chance of again becoming
a sane man, while Thomas is so weak and
exhausted that it will be a marvel if he re- m,
gains strength and recovers his health.
Andersen is a Swede, while Thomas comes ,
from Stevanger, Norway.
The Drot was wrecked in the West .
Indian hurricane, off the Florida Straits,
:>n August 11. Nine members of her crew,
Including the captain, went down with th
her, while eight others succeeded in getting
on a raft formed from a part of tfye
vessel's deck. The following day the raft in
broke In two parts, two men remaining on
one portion of it, and six on the other. The d]
German steamship Catania picked up on9 CJ
if the two seamen and carried him to ^
Baltimore. The only survivors of the
party of six are Andersen and Thomas.
The men lived fordavs on the raft without
water, and witli only such looa as was u
supplied to them by a small fishing line
one of the mea had la his pooket.
After enduring untold torture the flsher- ?.
man lost his mind and jumped Into the sea, ?
carrying his fishing tackle with him. The r
five remaining men were then left with ?r
neither food nor water. Two of them sick- UI
sned and died, and the three survivors
irank their blood and ate their flesh as |a
300n as the breath hail left their bodies. tr
Andersen and Thomas have declared these tu
sailors did not die of violence, and la view q,
of their frank confession In regard to the q(
killing of another comrade, It is probable ^
that they are telling the truth. qj
When only three of the original six were ca
left alive, it was agreed that one should 0I
die to supply food and drink for the ottier /v
two. It was determined to cast lots to Dl
settle who should be the victim. A. German ?
seaman, whose name cannot be learned, n(
lost. Faithful to the compact he had
made, he met death without a struggle or
a protest. Anderson and Thomas killed &l
him with a kuifo and drank his blood. c
Thoy lived tor two days on his fle.?h.
When discovered bv the Woodruff the
raft presented a terrible spectacle. The
two crazed seamen sat beside the three 4,
bodios. Thomas was throwing bits of .
human flesh to sharks. Two of the dead
bodies, half stripped of flesh, were decaying.
The men were emaciated, covered e:
with* sores and stains of blood and nearly. Tl
mad. They told the men of the Woodruflf ep
that they had agreed between them to cast
lot9 to see which should kill the other. If
the steamer had arrived a few hours later
there would have been b::t one live man on
che raft.
The men will be kept In the hospital until
they have recovered. There is no belief
that the courts will hnndle the case.

at a Medicine Abandoned by Mod
People?Some Ignorant Doctor* Whose
Mind* Need to Be Dlaabueed of tbe Idea '
It is gratifying to note that 'there Is not
flow that mistaken notion regarding the
efficacy of whisky as a medicine which was
at one time so widely prevalent among all
classes of people. But the old superstition
still exlsts'to some extent even among physicians,
as the following story shows:
A fow years ago my baby, then two years
of age, was taken sp.rloasly ill in the city
of Lowell, Mass. I called one of tbe leading
physicians. He examined the child
very carefully and scientifically, and I
watched him very closely. When he bad
finished the ex amfnatlon the first question
he auked was, "Have you any whisky In
the house?" I replied, "What do you find
to be the trouble with the child, nootor?"
"0," he said, "there is a little inflammation
in the intestines." "Bat," I said,
"doctor, you- ought to know about this
matter better than I do, but It really doesn't
seem to me that whisky Is the proper remedy
to give a Shild two years old for inflammation
In the intestines." "Well," ha
said, "I guess we can get along without
it:" and we did. The child got better. A
few weeks later I moved to 8omerswortb.
where tbe obild was taken slok again. I
called u local phyilclan of tbesame school.
He examined her In precisely the Eiimq,
way as did the former physician, and I
watched him very closely. When he had
finished I asked, "What do you find to be . .
the trouble with the child, dootor?" and he
replied, "There is a little inflammation in
the intestines." And then I said, "Do you
want some whisky?" He looked at me in > ' s
astonishment. "Why," he said, "why do
you ask that question?" I replied that I
did not know but that wbislcy was the
regulation prescription for all children
when sick. He said that be was very careful
how he prescribed liquors for children
in any case, but In a trouble like this
whisky would be about the worst thing one
could give the child. I relate here this
that you may know that when your physician
prescribes whisky for your babies or
for yourself It may be wwli to mix tbe dose
with a.llttle "horse sense."?Sacred Heart

Every Young Stan Should Bead This.
The business world recognizes that nc
man who drinks is as good a? he would be
if he never drank. Time was when in some
lines of business it was considered necessary
to drink. Quite the oontary is the
case now. Even saloon men prefer men
who do not drink the liquids tbev sell. All
the fairy tales about great things people
do when under the influence of liquor have
beea exploded. The orator who must be
intoxicated in order to make a speech la
no longer here and bos never been bere.
Tbe lawyer who can not plead a case or cite
an authority without spending tbe night
before in a barroom has cone to visit the
pale glimpses of the moon and he has al- ^
ways been gone. The writer who produced
a great poem or a great essay while -Xg
maudlin, removed from this planet before
tbe command, "Let there be light" wot
given. Tbe bookkeeper, clerk, mechanlo(
salesman, artisan, young or old, is not at
bis best when under the influence of llquoc
and he Is not as valuable to himself, his
employer, or society.
Can lie?
Most people despise a drunkard. Miserable
wretches are they in act, thought
and appearance. We miss in them the
thing that makes a man so infinitely superior
to a brute. They cringe like cowards,
grovel like reptiles, and debase and befoul
the image of the Almighty. Poverty, x ' ; ]
shame and dlsgrace'nre their companions,
and they become actually loathsome. And
yet they are not born so. It Is the drink
habit which drags them down into the Vj
mire. What is there in tbe pleasure of
wine to the man never tempted to abuse it^

ruin it produces in the weaker thousands
who can not use it as a good creature?
Can the self-oontrollod moderate drinker, .
with a glass In one baud, reach the other
hand to his less fortunate brother ahd bid
him be a man? Can he counsel him with
any hope of success, to drink and let it
alone? Canhesay, "Give it up altogether,'*
unless he himself sots the example?" '
m
Avoid Drinking Companions.
Environment has a great deal to do with
tbe formation of a young man's character.
If he frequents saloons, or other plaoea
where liquor Is dispensed, it he keeps company
with people who drink, there is sure
to be a gradual weakening of the resolve
which he may have taken against
liquor, and tbe result is almost certaiq
that be will fall ftito the drink haolt:
Young men, set your minds upon something
higher than tbe companionship of
those who frequent saloons. Life is altogether
too short to be wasted in their company.
Nothing good is to be learned from
them, but much of evil may be acquired
from contact with them. Vulgarity and
obsconity are tlie marks wherewith they
may be known, and it is folly to expect
anything worthy or pura to exist among
VUCUi*
Specific Criminality.
It is well to see la what crimes alcohol's
influence is most marked.
According to Marambat, of 3000 convlots
exam ned by him seventy-eight per cent,
were drunkards; seveuty-nine per cent, of
those were vagabonds and beggars; fifty
per cent, of the assassins and flfty-seven
per ceat. of the incendiaries were drunkards.
Marro found that the drunkards
stood in the first rank of highway robbers,
eighty-two percent.; Vetault found among
forty alcoholic criminals that there were
fifteen homicides, ei^ht thieves, Ave swindlers,
six assaulters (on women), four assaulters
(wounding), and two vagrants.
Grog and the Soldlera.
"k tsnn who can not do without hla
grog," says an old veteran, "has no business
in the army, and will never make a
soldier. It is the rankest nonsense to say
that, if enlisted men can not have access<:o
beer, they will drink smuggled whisky.
There is no need of their haviog access to
whisky. Sharp inspection by company
commanders, acd swift punishment of men
found with whisky on them or in them,
will soon put a stop to that."
Show Your Colors.
"Every total abstainer," says the C. T.
A. News, "should carry upon his breast the
emblem of the organization to which he
has given his allegiance. The members of
all other orders display as publicly as possible
the badge adopted by their organization
to signify membership."
The Crutade In nrief.
The world consumes 17,700,000,000 quarti
of beer annually.
Th? anhftr man is alwavs an lmDrovement
on the drunken mnn.
Ia the race of life the temperate man haa
the be9t of it; the drinking man is handicapped.
Oreat things hare been done while the
brala was excited by stimulants, but
greater things won 11 have been done had
there been no artificial stimulants.
Wearing the badge is the displaying of
one's colors, and the colors of the total abstainers
can not be displayed too publicly,
for the evil against which they are battling
is a public one.
Shallow-pated young men whose idea of
a "good time" con-ists In sodden drunkenness
may laugh at a companion who Is a
total abstniuer from liquor, but the laugh
will be on them by-und-by.
Wo can understand how a man may be
ashamed to be afflicted with the vice of
drunkenness, but the man who iu a crowd
of drlnlrlnp f?omn;inions Is ashamed of
avowing himself a total abstainer la beyond
comprehension.
The Duke of Argyll, who owns the Island
of Iona, will not allow any one there to
keep a public house. The residents are la
a very happy stat?, for no policeman 19
needed, although several hundred people
live on the island.
Rev. Madison C. Peters says: "In the
city of New York are 7000 saloons, or one
for every 200 people. These are hotbeds of
vice?breeding places of crime. With the
exception of a few Germans, they are kept
by low. Illiterate, blasphemous, obscure
men, full fifty per cent, of whom art*
coavlct9."
