He, therefore, has avoided committing any breach of regulations. When ordered to the abandoned post at Fort Grant, Ariz., he obeyed and immolated himself in the desert. When ordered to the other abandoned post at St. Augustine, Fla., thither he went. He was then ordered back to Fort Grant. Senator Rayner has looked up the precedents and finds that the case presents violations of American law unparalleled in time of peace. TO HONOR FOUNDER OF Y. M. C. A.

Another charm in the book was a peep behind the scenes which it gave to the reader. As commanding officer of the Yorktown the author remained in Chilian waters New York. To assist in perpetu ating the memory of Sir George Williams, founder of the Young Mens Christian Association, and commemorate the great work he initiated, a memorial will be erected in some American city, yet to be selected, by the Canadian and American associations. The matter has been discussed throughout the uncertain period following the Baltimore Incident at Valparaiso. Here his role was diplomacy, placating the Chilians, but permitting them to see that the Yorktown meant business if trouble came. This was successful service, and when the next ticklish job came along, the Bering sea sealing dispute, which also brought a war cloud, Commander Evans was senior officer present in the North Pacific. He did well. His reputation was made and the path laid clear before him for command of the crack armored cruiser New York, which went to Europe and gave him opportunity, which he improved, to become the friend of the emperor of Germany. After that he commanded the Indiana and at Santiago the Iowa. A gift for epigram had enabled "Fighting Bob to epitomize certain situations in a manner which the public approved.

Near the close of 1903, when the secession of Panama had raised a great rumpus in South America, Rear Admiral Evans was ordered to proceed to Honolulu, which he did at an average of more than 13 knots for the battleships, the oldest of which wa3 HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA. Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors by Simple Remedy. How Could She Be ExPeeted dress Perfect Stran- - Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in northern New Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The health board of Washington, N. J., has published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the publication as it has appeared in the papers of Washington: Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies.
