And it is now stated that Admiral Dob

Admiral Sohloy in tho court martial that
ho was drunk at tho battlo of Santiago.

Tho Soldiers' Homos.
Editors Courior: I havo road carefully
all that luis boon w rit ten advocating tho
establishment of soldiers' homos, and
havo boou doing a good deal of thinking
along that lino, and had about docidod
on what, as I look at tho matter from
tho standpoint of a veteran, would bo
tho best thing to do.
I attended tho rouuion at Sandy Springs
last wook, and Col. Orr so fully expressed
my sentiments in his able stylo that I
oould but wish that ovorybody could
have heard him. Witlt force and clo
quouco ho portrayed tho hardships and
privations endured both by tho soldiers
and their wives and mot hers, and urged
that their last days, of which t hero will
not bo many, bo made free from want
and caro; that small, comfortable cot
tages bo provided for thom iu each
county, HO that they nood not bo far
from friends and old noigbbors. Lot tho
aged wifo (Ind a homo there with her
husband. Tho cost, of establishing such
homos and maintaining thom need not
bo groat. In fact, tho contributions mado
by the people to a homo in their midst
would bo a largo foaturo in its support.
Tuero arc serious objections to tho
establishment ,f ono contrat homo. Many
deserving and needy votorans would not
consent to go so far away from familiar
faces and scenes. Thore would bo dan
gor of too much red tapo, too much for
mality and too much power centralized.
Lot tho homes be established in each
county, and tho days would bo enlivened
by visits from old friends and acquaint
ances and from tho BOUS and daughters
Of old friends. .Something moro than
food and shelter is needed.

May these stimulate others. Comrades,

"I had a sovoro attack of bilious colic,
got a bottlo of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two
doses and was ontiroly cured," says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kansas. "My
neighbor across tho stroot was sick for
ovor a week, had two or three bottles of
medicino from tho doctor. Ho used
thom for three or four days without re
lief, thou called in anotbor doctor who
treated him for some days and gave him
no relief, so discharged him. 1 wont
over to soo him tho noxt morning. Ho
said his bowels were in a terrible fix,
that they had been running ott so long
that it was almost bloody tlux. I asked
him if ho had tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and ho
said, 'No.' I wont, homo and brought
him my bottle and gave him ono dose;
told bim to tako anotbor dose in fifteen
or twenty minutes if bo did not find
relief, but ho took no more and was
ontiroly cured." For salo by J. W. Bell.
Tho Boors and the Irish.
London, August 18.-Tho Freeman's
Journal, of Dublin, publishes an inter
view botweon Mr. Kruger and William
Redmond, in Hitvorsum, Holland, in tho
course of which tho former President of
tho South African Republic, expressing
gratitude for Irish support, said ho re
garded tho Irish as "brothors in oppres
sion" and urged tho Nationalist members
of the British Parliament to continue
tboir "efforts in tho cause of justico and
truth."
Whoo asked concerning tho offect of
Lord Kitchener's recent proclamation
and Mr. Chamberlain's speeches, Mr.
Kruger replied: "My people aro not to
bo frightened by such proclamations or
speeches, which will only encourage
thom to continue fighting." Tho british
havo used armed natives against the
burghers from tho beginning, but wo
have not used armed Kafllfs. It has
always boen against our principles to uso
tho black mon against tho whito."
Mr. Kruger emphatically denied the
existence of a Dutch conspiracy against
British influence, in South Africa. When
asked regarding Croat Britain's promises
as to treatment of tho Boers after sur
render, ho said: "I know (heat Britain's
promises. You in Ireland ought also to
know thom. Tho British promise to
lond us money to put things right. Then,
if it wero not paid, our land would ho
taken. They ask us to allow a ropo to
bo put around our necks and to call that
freedom. Wo should bo sift VOS." Aftor
expressing bis linn conviction that Cod,
in good time, would give the Doers deliv
erance, ho remarked: "Even now wo
could rebuild our country, hut to do so
wo must havo full independence."
Ho omphasi/.cd tho word "full." When
asked about farm burning and tho con
centration camps, ho exclaimed: "Why
do they fight women and oh i ld ron? ,
There aro our men to light against. I do
not believe tho British pooplo know
what is being done in their name. If ,
they did know they would stop it." Mr.
Kruger said nothing had been definitely
settled on tho subject of a visit to tho
United States. According to Mr. Red
mond, his appearance belies tho report
that ho is breaking down either mentally
or physically.

Crushed tho homo and hearts.
Comfort hearts brokori,
