FIRE AND ITS TERRORS. Should Be Prepared—How @ Scalded Child was Cured. (From the Boston Herald.) Every person who works around a s can pieces much sufferin: idan keeping at eataged remedy for seal ros. When such aceidents Ls are chances are that some is applied ‘aoe bad better been left off. A person will often apply cold water to a burn and suffer ten- fold in consequence. Then there are man: remedies recommended for burns and scal: that only give temporary relief; they do not prevent theinflammation, blistering and soreness that follow a burn,and which often Proveso dangerous. No betterremedy could ei be recommended than Perry Davis’ iller. This good old specific, with ee of hsif acentury, has no equal, and it is doubtful if it ever will have. rue, when first applied it will bring the tears to ur eyes for a moment, but after that the dre leaves, the pain stops, and the trouble is over. A case that cams under the notice of Mr, Charles Carroll, editor and publisher of the Rhode Island Pendulum, at East Greea- wich, R. L., is well worth ‘citing. He say «p ssed one application of Pain- Killer in our family which was accom- pa with wonderful results. A little child was playing near the kitchen stove, on top of which was a kettle of boiling hot fat. The cook accidentally upset the kettle and the conteats were poured down the low neck of the little one’s dress. It was a time ofemergency. Whatever was done had to be done quickly. “Mother always believed in Pain-Killer, and without a moment's hesitation she ured a bottleful of itdown the baby’sneck. Tiwas heroic treatment, to be sure, but it proved wise, for the child's life was saved, and what was most wonderful, there was not asear left as a reminder of the terrible dent.

A NAVAL OFFICER'S REMINISCENCES How Near ft Came to a War With Spain. A ‘BIG FLEET SENT DOWN “Cuba is in very much the same condition now that she was when the affair of the Virginius came so near plunging thls country into a war with Spain,” remints- cently remarked a naval officer to a Star reporter at the Navy Department today. “Indeed,” he continued, ‘‘the country has never been so near the verge of actual war with a foreign foe since the invasion of Mexico. Yes, I remember the affair with Chile over the killing of the sailors of the Baltimore. That was a pretty close brush, I’ll admit, and the action taken by President Harrison in concentrating the navy and providing the sinews of war showed that he meant business, and would stand no nonsense. Happily, that affair was settled honorably to both nations without resort to arms, but we were not quite so near actual hostilities at that time as we were when we heard of the whole- sale slaughter of American citizens at Santiago de Cuba in the year 1873. Tell you about it? Well, I don’t remember all the circumstances very clearly, but I'll do the best I can. What impressed me most was the action of the naval forces in exe- cution of the demands of the United States government in satisfaction of its insulted dignity. Grant was then President and Robeson Secretary of the Navy, and in censequence of their orders the whole available force of the navy was assembled at the Key West rendezvous early in th2 spring of 1874. The Virginius Affair. “The occasion of the concentration of such a large force of warships in the waters near the Cuban coast was the seizure of an American ship and the sum- mary execution, withaut trial, of a number of American citizens on the ground that they were filibusters. They were seized on the steamer Virginius, a vessel flying the flag of the United States, which had regu- larly cleared from the port of New York. I don’t know whether they had hostile intentions toward the Spanish g>vernment or not, but I rather suspect that to be the case. There was an insurrection or an up- rising of some kind in progress in Cuba at the time. Such things happen there very often, you know. The prevaiiing :nsurrec- tion reminded me of the Virginius affair, as that occurred during a similar uprising in 1873. Soldiers of fortune gathered there at that time in large numbers, aud got arms and ammunition the best way they could. The Virginius was captured and taken into Santiago de Cuta. To what extent trial was given her officers, pas- sengers and crew I don’t know, but at any rate her captain and many others were shot. I've forgotten the number. The re- mainder were confined in a joint. During the rumpus the Juniata, in command of Commander Braine, and the Wyoming, in command of Commander Cushing, were in the vicinity of Cuba. The Juniata vas actually in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba at the time of the execution, When mat- ters reached that point hoth nations looked upon war as a certainty. Through diplo- matic intercession, however, a protocol was adopted, by which the Spanish gover: ment agreed to deliver up the Virginius. Foundered in a Gale Of Hatteras. “The protocol was forwarded to Scott, the commanding American admiral at Key West. The protocol called for the delivery of the Virginius to the naval representa- tive, who was ordered to receive her, and, to my best recollection, a national salute was to be fired. The Virginius was to be delivered up at Bahia Honda with the United States ensign flying. She was re- ceived by Commander W. D. Whiting, the ‘blind commodore,’ the former chief of the bureau of navigation, who died recently. He took passage from Key West to Badia Hondo in the United States Despatch, which a few years ago was wrecked on Assateague shoals, Virginia. The Vir- ginius was brought to Tortugas, outside of Key West, coaled from a coaling schooner which had been towed out from. Key West by the Ossipee, and started on her way to New York to have her case adjudicated in an admiralty court. Owing to the condi- tion of the machinery of the Virginius she was taken in tow by the Ossipee. That vessel acted as both tow and convoy. The Virginius never reached New York. She was foundered in a gale of wind off Hat- teras. My recollection is that Commander Jchn Walters commanded the Ossipee. Lieut. Commander Woodroe was in com- mand of the Virginius when she was lost, and Ensign ‘Colhoun and Midshipmen Un- derwood and Tyler were the other officers with him. When the weather got bad the vessel took water rapidly, and it was found impossible to save her. Signals were sent to the Ossipee, and the officers and crew were taken off. No lives were lost. A Big Naval Fleet. “This occasion of probable war between Spain and the United States caused the rendezvous at Key West of the largest naval force that the United States has assembled in any one port since the war of the rebellion. The fleet consisted of the North Atlantic, European and South At- lantic squadrons and all other vessels that were in condition to be commissioned. Had the necessity continued a number of other vessels, which were then laid up for extensive repairs, would also have been added to the fleet. In fact, every ves- sel in condition to carry a gun was put in commission and ordered to Key West. That was the headquarters, where the commander-ir-chief was located in con- stant telegraphic communication with the Navy Department at Washington. This fleet, including dispatch boats and moni- tors, numbered in all twenty-nine vessels. Upon the arrival of the Wabash from the European station, with Rear Admiral Case on board, the command of the entire fleet devolved upon him, Rear Admiral Scott continuing second in command. When the emergency was passed Admiral Case re- turned to the European station and Ad- miral Scott resumed command of the North Atlantic station, which, by the dispersal of the surplus vessels, resumed its normal force. These surplus vessels were put out of commission, and the vessels belonging to other stations were sent to those sta- tions. Rear Admiral Scott’s flagship was the Worcester. He was the last command- er of that vessel. When she finished that cruise she was placed in “‘rotton row” and stricken from the list. The Despatch was a New York yacht and was purchased by the government for that special occasion. ner first commander was Capt. Fred Rodg- efS, now commander of the New York navy yard, and her last commander was Com- mander Cowles, now naval attache of the United States embassy at London. Few of Those Vessels Now in the Navy “The force concentrated at Key West to Suphold the honor of the United States con- sisted of the Franklin, Minnesota, Wabash, Colorado, Lancaster, Brooklyn, Congress, Worcester, Alaska, Ticonderoga, Canandai- gua, Shenandoah, Juniata, Ossipee, Wachu- setts, Powhatan, Wyoming, Kansas, Shaw- mut, Saugus, Mahopac, Manhattan, Ajax, Canonicus, Dictator, Despatch, Pinta, For- tune and Mayflower. Of these, the Des- patch, Mayflower and Fortune were dispatch , and the Dictator, Canonicus, Ajax, Manhattan, Mahopac and Saugus were irenclads. Very few of these vesesis are in the present navy. The monitors Canoni- cus, Ajax, Manhattan and Mahopac are laid up in the James river near Richmond. The Franklin and Wabash are receiving ships, and the Lancaster is being made in- to a training ship. All the others have gcne the way of all flesh and are no more. Prompt Action Taken. “Commander Cushing of the Wyoming, upon receiving information through dis- patches from the United States consul gen- eral at Havana of the capture of the Vir- ginius and the execution of a part of her crew, very properly sailed immediately from Aspinwall (Colon), where he was then stationed, to Santiago de Cuba, arriv- ing there on the 16th of November, 1873. He put himself at once in communication with the authorities of the port and pro- tested against execution of prisoners of the Virginius. In the mean- Ume the Kansas, Commander Reed, and the Juniata, Commander Braine, then at New York, had been instructed to proceed to Santiago de Cuba, for the purpose of in- quiting into all the circumstances connect- ed with the capture of the Virginius, and the execution of members of her crew. The former sailed from New York Novem- ber 14, and the latter November 19. The Juniata reached Santiago de Cuba Novem- ber 26, and the Kansas meeting with se- vere weather, did not arrive until December 2. Commander Braing the senior officer present, entered a protest against the fur- ther execution of prisoners of the Vir- ginius, and took every means in his power to encourage them, and to conduce to their comfort. The Survivors of the Virginius. “In carrying out the provisions of the protocol of December 8 the Juniata was in- structed to receive on board the survivors of the Virginius, provide them with comfort- able accommodations, and convey them to the United States. These survivors, 102 in number, were so received December 18, and safely landed at, New York on the 28th of the same month. As another provision of the protocol contemplated the saluting of the American flag at Santiago de Cuba on the 25th day of December, 1873, the Canandaigua, Capt. Lowry, was dispatched to that port to be present when the salute should be given, and to return it. She left the eapes of the Delaware December 12, and reached her destination December 19. This ceremony having by subsequent ar- rangement been waived, she remained at Santiago de Cuba until January. The Third Condition of the Protocol. “In fulfillment of a third condition of the Protocol, viz, the delivery of the Virginius at Bahia Honda to a war vessel of the United States, on the 16th of December, as already said, the Despatch was sent to that place for the purpose of receiving her. Capt. Whiting, chief of staff of the North Atlantic flest, was intrusted with this duty. The Virginius was received at the point and on the day mentioned, provided with a suitable crew, and convoyed to the Tortu- gas. Here she was placed under convoy of the Ossipee, and dispatched to the north. Unfortunately, but unavoidably, in view of her condition and of the fact that she en- countered heavy weather, the united efforts of her convoy and of the officers and crew which had been put on board of her were unavailing to save her from the dangers incident to a winter passage on our coast, and she foundered off Cape Hatteras, on her passage to New York. According to Secretary Robeson, the several officers to whom were intrusted duties of this deli- cate nature, touching the settlement of an important international question, were in- structed to clothe, in carrying out their orders, the firmness required with the ut- most courtesy in their intercotrse with the officers, both ashore and afloat, with whom they might be brought in contact, and these conditions were studiously ob- served in every particular. Gen. Ryan’s Death. “One of the first men of the Virginius to be shot was Gen. Ryan, generally supposed to be the leader of the expedition. Prior to his departure on this fatal expedition he spent several months in Washington and became a familiar figure on the avenue. He was a striking figure, tall, athletic and handsome. He had long, raven-black hair and the carriage and bearing of a soldier. He would have attracted attention in any assemblage, and, moreover, he was always accompanied in his walks by an immense St. Bernard dog. He sought to secure the freedom of Cuba and gave his life to the cause.” TO SEEK THE SOUTH POLE. Dr. Cook Will Attempt to Penetrate the Antnretic Regions. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, has | evolved a new plan for penetrating the ant- arctic regions. He expects to set sail from New York on September 1, with a small band of scientists, and he believes it will be three years before the expedition will return, This project was publicly announced Sat- urday evening by the doctor himself in an extended paper read before the geographic section of the Brocklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Steps were taken to appoint a capable committee of the section to fur- ther the project. There is no doubt the sum necessary to fit and send out the expedition, $25,000, will be completely subscribed within a short time. Instead of employing a steam whaler, Dr. Cook expects to secure two sailing ves- sels, sealers, of about 100 tons burden apiece. The scientific corps will comprise only five, including the leader. In 1891-92 Dr. Cook was surgeon and eti nolegist of Lieut. Peary’s expedition to the north. He went to the arctic twice after- wards. ———- -s0+ . THOS. DIXON RESIGNS. REV. Reach Non-Charch-Going People. Rev. Thomas Dixon offered his resigna- tion as pastor of the Twenty-third Street Baptist Church of New York at the morn- ing service yesterday. He gives as his rea- son that the work he especially desires to follow is to reach non-church-going people. He says he remains in fundamental creed a Baptist, but he proposes to place his work on a union evangelical platform with vital faith in Jesus Christ alone recognized as a condition of membership. He also states his objection to returning to a church building from the hall, where he has preached for some time. He wishes perfect freedom in his pulpit, he says. In an interview he stated that while the sen- sational character of his preaching met with oppositicn from some members of his congregation, this in itself would not have caused him to resign.

The members of the Carroll Institute had as their guests on Saturday night a large numberof the members, bowlers and pool players of the Baltkmore Catholic Club cf Baltimore. The loml ten-pin bowlers won three games at bowling, but their associ- ates, the pool players, were easily out- matched in the poo} contest. Except the last game, the bowling match was devoid of any-special mark of excite- ment. In this game the Orioles showed good improvement over their work in the first two games, an@ lost the third game only by the close margin of three pins. For the home team Will Downey did the best; he bowled over 470 pins in bjs serial run, and he also made 166 pins for the best single run of his team. For the visitors Andrews did the best; he bowled over 456 pins for the best serial run of his team, and he also made 188 pins for the. best single run of the evening. The Carrolls bowled over 2,171 pins,which gave them the team average of 723 game, and the visitors got 2, their credit, which gave the! average of 676 2-3 per game. Of itself, as well as by comparison, this contest was a weak exhibition of bowling. The District champions were erratic and not in “steady form” at any stage of the game. On the same night, one week pre- .Vious, in a match between these teams on the alleys of the Baltimore Catholic Club, the Carrolls made the fairly good team average of 739 per game, and at the same time they lost three straight games, and the Oriole bowlers, in that match on their own alleys, made the fine team average of Ti7 2-3 per game, a total of 2,333 pins for the evening. This work sustains the record of the Car- rolis that they bowl better away from home—while at home they have been able to win with pretty low team totals. Satur- day night they were again minus the ser- vices of Birney Locraft, the “steady regu- lar” of the team, and the best bowler of the institute, otherwise the players were of the regular team.

This decision is official, for it, comes with all the dignity of a pronunciamento of the village board of health, and that is the reason why, for the first time in many months, the chimes in the tower of Christ Protestant Episco- pal Church did not ving in the Sabbath ygsterday as usual. Hereafter any man 0 makes a noise at an early hour in the merning does so at his peril. The village butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, who have presumed hitherto to equip their wagons with gongs, fish horns and other instruments of torture, have been warned that they must make their rounds stealth- ily and decorousiy.
