Wlldea Drank In Coffee UhlU Flarhtlng; the Spanish Fleet In Manila nay. If you want to say that any man Is always cool, calm and collected, say that he is as cool as Capt.

Wildes, of the cruiser Boston. De is one of the officers with Dewey's fleet at Manila, and all the world is wondering at his calmness. While the Boston slowly steamed into the bay of Manila, while two opposing storms of projectiles swept the waters, while a man could not hear himself think In the thunder of the guns, Wildes stood on the Boston's1 bridge watching, when the smoke raised, the deadly accuracy of his gun- TAKING THINGS EASY. Thank You for a Cup of ners. Wildes was as cool as a cucumber, but the weather was warm.

So he called for a big palm leaf fun, and, calm as a woman at the opera, fnnned himself. So cool and calm was this Yankee fighter while the Spanish ships were sinking under the hall of lead that he remembered he had not had his breakfast. It speaks well for Wildes that, under the circumstances, he bethought himself he was hungry. If a ninn has a good appetite be is in good health, and if he's healthy he can fight. Feeling the cravings of his appetite, Wildes ordered a cup of coffee to bo served to him on the bridge.

One can easily imagine he hears Wildes' order, punctuated by orders, thus: "I'd thank you for a cup of coffee lieutenant, you've got the correct range and not too much sugar. Another like that and the Castclla's a goner." This Is probably the first cup of coffee ever served nnd consumed on a fighting bridge during battle. "Cafe a la Wildes" will be a popular drink in Uncle Sam's navy. But Wildes was not the only hungry man in that fleet during the first part of the magnificent fight. Dewey was hungry.and, being kind and thoughtful, he remembered that all his men and all his officers must be hungry, too.

So when breakfast time came Dewey drew off his fleet, and every Yankee on the fleet enjoyed his breakfast very much Indeed. Having finished breakfast they went back and finished the Span-lards. COL. JONES ALLEN. The Man Who Inspect and Rerlaea All the Preos Dlapatehea Sent Via Key WnI.

She was a resident of Tresckow for many years and enjoyed the (acquaint' aiuo and friendship of a host of people who are sorry to hear of her death. Mm.

A large crowd was in attendance, niany people accom panying the scholars and the time was being spent pleasantly when a young man named Ferguson, who was a member of the guaduating class, met his death by drowning. The festivities were brought to a close when the accident happened. Whether he was out swini- mg or bathing could not be learned. Tho young man has acquaintances on this side. udeuried schools, the rooms taught by Mr.

Kline township School Board will meet tonight and try to settle the deadlock that has existed for the past week. According to statements made there is a possibility of the tie vote holding out until tomorrow night and perhaps until it is too late to organize unless some persons of influence get in and use thetr power with tho Board to make oonoea. sions and settle. It is now, said that the township treasurer has his eye on the treasurership of the Board and this helps to make one side ot the' tie-up all tho moro stubborn, whilo the other, end which would be likely to yield, has personal reasons for making a stand so des.

joc. a box. cure guarantee The P. R. R's New Double-Track Line To Atlantic City.

With the new schedule of early summer trains in effect May 28th, the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad practically opens to travel its new double-track line from Camden and Broad Street Station to Atlantic City. During the Winter and Spring the line from Camden to Atlantic City hag been actively rebuilt. The old light rails weighing one hundred pounds to the yard, and an entirely new road has been constructed by the grading necessary for the doub'e tracks. The grade crossing over the track of the Jersey Southern Railway at Winalow has been eliminated by the building of an elevated roadway high above the intersecting tracks and thus enabling the the fastest trains to pars this point without slackening sp -d. An absolutely new roadbed has been constructed across the meadows.

Upon the niagniticent foundations of the old Camden Atlantic roadbed, which hag been building by the accumulated work of forty years thousands of carloads of gravel and sand have been placed to the depth of six feet from the surface up, so that the tracks are elevated above the heigh of the storm tides. In order that the elevated tracks may the better withstand the action of storm canals have been opened at intervals to carry the accumulated water beneath the roadway and the exposed sides of the embankment have been thickly coated with the heavy and adhesive soil dug from the meadows. The new track is as firm rs the old ever was, and with these protections anil reinforcements it will stand firmly the brunt of any ordinary storm. The new roadway has been coated with an application of oil so as to free it from the dust naturally incident to the new grading. Under these improved conditions the West Jersey and Sershore's double-tracked lines to Atlantic City form the finest and best line of railroad to any Summer resort in America.

The speed of trains both from Broad Street Station and Camden will be materially axelertted and ihe time of transit proportionately reduced. The roll'ng stock and equipment will be fully up to the high standard maintained by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Summer traveler to Atlantic City by this popular route will enjoy the finest facilities offered by any railroad in the world. 981 "FINANCIAL STATEMENT of Foster Township School District for the for the year ending June 6th, 1898.
