Lie Twenty-Four of These Who Lost
Their Lives on the Maine.
Abovf Karh Mound Droop* a Mnaall
A merle ait l'lag -% Plrlnre of
Mplonrholy Umlalion.
Key Wert, Fla., May 11.—In the out-
ckirts of the town, where the small
Spanish cottages cluster, silent and
sunburned, along the narrows, is the
cemetery of Key West. Near the main
entrance, which is guarded by a creak-
ing old wooden gate, is a group of
newly-made graves. They are in thi!
potter's field—the part of a burying
ground set apart for the pauper deaxl.
These are Lhe heroes who lost their
lives on the battleship Maine in the
Havana harbor, on the night of Febru-
ary 15. There are twenty-four of them
unmarked.
Above each mound of glistening white
limestone soil, a small American Hag
droojw in the fierce sun that beats in-
cessantly down upon the island. The
flags are faded and frayed. When a
breeze comes up from the ocean they
flutter sadly for a moment, and again
droop 'to the scorched earth. On the
center of each mound is a small glass
I jblet which still holds the discolored
and withered stems of llosvers. "They
were put there by a lady from Phila-
delphia," said the dreamy old sexton,
"but I don't know who she was. She
came here about ten days after the
bodies were buried and put flowers on
all the graves. I asked her who she
was, but she said no matter.'
And these faded little flags and
withered stems of flowers are all that
mark the resting place of the heroes of
whom the civilized world has been
talking since the fatal night, nearly
three months ago. There is nothing else
to tell the stranger who passes through
the potter's field where the heroes of
the Maine are sleeping.
The space where the graves are was
evidently prepared in great haste. Near
the little white mounds on all sides
are unsightly heaps of little rubbish
In one spot stands an old hearse,
weather-beaten and ghastly in its
very aspect of lonliness and decay.
The sexton said it had once been used
as the city hearse, but one day
broke down while carrying a body to
4he potter's field, and there It still
stands.
Just to the north of the resting plac
■ of the Maine's sailors is a small iron
Inclosure which marks the grave <-f
Bridget E. Hoffman, who died in 1864.
• "I guess we will have to call her Mo-
ther .Hoffman," said the old sexton,
• 'for Hhe is the only one buried here
-who has got a name, and 1 think she
ought to be mother to every body in
the potter's field."
Very close to the twenty-four mounds
is a group of thirty-six naval seamen
who died of yellow fever. The sexton,
however, was unable to tell when they
were buried there. Nothing on the
little twelve-inch slab at the head of
. each group tells the story of the life
or death of the dead seamen. The
names and the words "IT. S. Navy"
alone are carved upon the slabs.
But nature, even with the barren
lime rock below and the scorching nun
above, seems trying to do what the
hand of man has failed to do in beau-
tifying the graves of our heroes. Lux-
uriant trees of tropical species are all
about the newly-made graves. At one
side a massive green cactus lifts its
pulpy foliage high in the air. On the
opposite side, a row of tropical trees,
refreshingly green, are in full blossom,
and with every breeze cover the sun-
burned mounds with bautlful scarlet
flowers. Near another side of the little
burial plot is a row of royal spruce
pines which throw a shadow upon the
graves in the afternoon, and through
whose branches the sea breezes con-
stantly sing when the sun has gone
tfown.
Rarely does any one visit the place.
It is without care or attention, a by-
corner of -the island, where, for two
centuries, Spaniards, negroes and flsh-
erfolk have put their dead and forgot-
ten them. Perhaps one-half the graves
in the cemetery are those of unknown
sailors, whose sleeping places are un-
marked. Most of the inscriptions on
tombstones are in Spanish. The graves
of the Maine's victims are surrounded
by tombstones with Spanish inscrip-
tions. It is a picture of melancholy
desolation.
The grave yard is located on a high
point in about the middle of the island
nnd from it the great stretch of blue
-ocean may be sen on either side but
half a mile distant. There is no soil
there. The graves are simply carved
out of the limestone and rock. All day
the sun beats down upon the barren
white rock surface until the scanty
vegetation curls and crackles in the
heat. Karely is there a sound to break
the melancholy silence. Sometimes one
hears the weary cry of a bird, or the
soft parrot-like voices of the Spanish
children in the cottages near by, but
that is all. The voices from the war
ships out at sea, the clatter of com-
merce in the harbor and the idle bab-
ble of the town never disturb rh> sleep
.of our hero sailors here in the rock-
bound graves.
Of the twenty-four who are buried
here, only two are identified. They
were a negro and a Japanese. It is
probable that, they may be removed
to another buriaJ place. If not, a suit-
able monument will be erected to their
memory.

$187,000 TO BE DIVIDED BETWEEN
DEWEY'S MEN.
New York. May 11.—A dispatch to the
Times from Washington says:
Hear Admiral Dewey and his men
will not have been fully rewarded for
their victory at Manila when they re-
ceive the thanks of congress and the
medals ordered to be struck for theni.
lTnder the lay they have becom * en-
titled to rich bounty unless the commer-
Ical importance of the fleet of Admiral
Montejo has been over estimate 1 or its
losses over stated, the officers of tne
Asiatic squadron will be entitled t
share among them something lik
$187,000, bounty money.
Section four thousand six hundred
and thirty-five of the revised statute.-
of the United States, provided:
"A bounty shall be paid by the Unit-
ed States for each person on board oi
any ship or vessel of war belonging t
an enemy at the commencement of an
engagement which is xunk or otherwise
destroyed In such engagement by any
ship or vesel belonging to the United
States or which it may be necessary
to destrop in consequence of injuries
sustained in action, of $11, if the ene
my's vessel was of inferior force, and
of $22 if of equal or superior force, to
be divided among the officers and crew
in the same manner as prize money;
and when the actual number of men
on board any such vessel cannot be
satisfactorily ascertained, it shall be
estimated according to the complement
allowed to vessels if its class In the
navy of the lilted States and there
shall be paid as bounty to the captors
of any vessel of war captured from an
enemy, which they may be instructed
to destroy in consequence of injuries
stroyed for the public interest, but not
in consequence of injuries received in
action, $r>o for every person who shall
be on board at the time of such cap-
ture."
According to the reports from Ma-
nila. the Spanish fleet consisted of 10
or 11 gun boats, cruisers and torpedo
boats, with crews amounting in all t<
1,872 men.
Admiral Montejo was Increasing the
bounty fund with every vessel he sank,
and Spain will undoubtedly will have t-
pay for those losses in making up the
indemnity at the close of the war.
At $100 for each man In the nival
force the amount to be divided among
the American sailors will be $187,000.
The vessels of the United States were
if anything, under manned. The num-
ber will be under, rather than ove
1.733,
The $187,000 will be distributed to the
Jleet under section 4,631, of the revised
statutes, relating to prize money. Ad
miral Dewey will get one-twentieth of
the whole amount of bounty awarded
to his command. That will give hin,
$: .300. If he has a fleet captain, or
what passes for one, the latier will
have a share of something like $1,800.
There will be left to be distributed t-
the vessels of the fleet, according ti
their pay rolls, about $175,000. This
will go to seven ships, and in about the
following shares:
olympla. $45,000; Baltimore. $40,000
Boston, $25,000; Kaleigh, $22,000; Con-
cord, $2.000; Petrel, $12,000; Mei'ullough,
$•♦,000.
To the commander of each single ves
sel there will go one-tenth of the
amount assigned to be diistributed t
that vessel.
After the amounts mentioned have
been deduced the residue will be distri-
buted to the other officers and sea-
men of the ships in proportion to their
rates of pay on the day of the engage-
ment. The amount to each seaman. It
Is believed, will be in the neighborhood
of $50.
HEALTHY, HAPPY BABIES
ire generally th* offspring of healthy,
happy mothers. It would hardly be
natural if It were otherwise. The baby's
health and happiness depend upon the
mother's. The mother's condition (Tur-
ing gestation particularly exerts an in-
fluence on the whole life of the child.
If a woman is not careful at any other
time, she certainly should be during
the period preliminary to parturition.
It is a time when greatest care is nec-
essary. and Nature will be the better
for a little help. Even strong, wel!
women will find themselves feeling bet-
ter, their time of labor shortened and
their pains lessened if they will take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Ti
those whom troubles, peculiarly femi-
nine.have rendered in any degree we-ak
it will prove a veritable blessing. It
is a .good, general tonic for th* whole
system, and at any time will promote
the power and the regular action of all
the organs. It is a medicine for women
only and for all complaints confined to
their sex is of inestimable value.
WAS A BURGLAR.
KILLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO
ROB A STORE.
Ardmore, May 11.—There arrival in
Ardmore Saturday afternoon from Pa-
oli. T. C. Berry, a merchant of that
place, who was accompanied by a num-
ber of friends. Mr. Berry was in oharge
of an officer. He came here to have a
hearing before Judge Townsend on a
writ of habeas corpus.
Friday night about 1 o'clock. Berry,
who was sleeping in his store, was
aroused, he says, by some one moving
about in the vicinity of his cash draw-
er. He at once advanced toward the
intruder, who was then evidently try-
ing to make his escape out of the win-
dow through whioh he had entered the
store. Berry called him to stop and
when his demand was not respected, he
fired one shot at the man who jumped
from the window. Berry then fired
another shot. He supposed, however,
that his man had escaped. In a few
minutes a gentleman driving along the
street noticed the body of a man lying
prone upon the ground. Upon inves-
tigation it proved to be the dead body
of Lucien Eggleston. and from the po-
sition and nature of the wound it Is
certain that he is the man whom Berry
shot at in the store.
Immediately upon learning of the
death of the young man. Berry stated
the matter to a number of gentlemen
who had gathered, and together they
proenM to Plvli Valley, where Berry
•urreatored. Upon bein« held without
bond by the commissioner he at once
sued out a writ of habeas corpus and
was brougt here, wh*re he was re-
leased by Judge Townsend on his own
recognizance.

Can not be curcd by every so-called blood remedy. In fact, there are
few blood remedies that really cure any blood disease. Swift's Specific
(S. S. S.) is absolutely the only one which can have any effect whatever
upon deep-seated, real blood diseases. There is not a disease of the
blood, it matters not how obstinate, which it does not promptly reach
and permanently cure. The greatest claims for S. S. S.
are made by those w hom it has cured.
THROWN FROM A HCR55.
Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kas., writes : " A few years ago my
granddaughter, Bertha Whitvvood, was thrown from a horse, sus-
taining a contusion of the scalp, which resulted in blood poisoning.
i For more than a year there were running sores on her head and
neck, which the constant tr-utment of the best physicians failed to
arrest. As a last resort S. S. 5.
months she was cured entirely.'

YEARS C~ SUFFERING.
Mr. Chas. Glenn, 1563 Dudley St., Cincinnati, writes: "From
childhood I was afflicted with a terrible'itching skin disease, for
which I have been treated constantly for years. My entire body
was covered with blotches, and some of the best physicians in this
city have endeavored to cure me. S. S. S. is the only remedy equal 1 '
to the disease, however, for it lias cured me completely, ai:d I shall never cease prais-
ing it."
A3LAZE WITH ERYSIf 1LAS.
Miss Ada Wainwright, of Alamo, Tenn., says: " I havo
suffered agonies with bjtie erysipelas; one of my limbs became
so inflamed that it had to be lanced constantly. The best phy-
sicians treated me for three years, and 1 was finally declared
incurable. Some one suggested S. S. S., and the first bottle
made an improvement. Six bottles effected a cure, leaving
ray skin clear and pure, without a sign of the dreadful
COVERED WITH SORES.
Mr. II. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, N. J., writes:
" For two years my body was covered with a mass of itching sores
caused by impure blood, which gave me incessant pain. I was
given various treatment, but got worse steadily, the best physicians
being unable to relieve me. A few bottles of S. S. S. cured me
completely, and I am sure it has no equal as a blood remedy."

blood remedy,—guaranteed to contain not

other harmful mineral ingredient. It cures
every blood disease. There is Nothing" Half 35
