A Valetta, Malta, despetc)n continuos I3eior-Admiral Meeitham's evidence before the Viotoria court-martial as follows ; The Rear -Admiral said that he WAS nob aware that the engines of the Camperdown wore ,working ab only three•quartere speed, efitlrougbr the vessel's way wee not lessened, as he had expected after the signal to go ee full speed astern " was given. Re thought ',that if the order bad been properly executed the damage iriflicieed upon the Viotoria would mot ktave bean so great. When questioued ata to hie platting two meeninse on the eigraa, he eald that, ae all the other cap- tains of the fleet answered the Signal, they Interpreted it in the same way that he did, and the Equaaron having peed the bear- ings of its intended piece of anchorage, there was bet much time to eek questione. robes he found that the Viotoria had put :her helm hard over it watt too late to rectify may mistake. The Roar -Admiral said that lie had never eee9 either manoeuvre per - 'formed bolero. " If Vice -Admiral Tryon bei circled A ound me," he said, " it would have preserved the order of the iatet, and thie, I thought, might possibly be hie intention. 1 am aura that I could have :duneiaothtng to prevent the collision after the Victoria and Camperdown had turned eight pointe, with their bows on each :Wither. If I had gone astern with both screws, the Edinburgh would have rammed me. 1 assume entire reeponeibiiity for the management of the ehip, although I did not ;give Captain Johnstone inetruceione. If I :lisle done so he would have executed my orders." Being questioned about Tryon's memorandum, Admiral Markham said : " It vas biased in conesquence of the stranding ad the Howe. It ie eliffioulb to,eay whether the signal not to Send boats to tee Victoria •tzemeed a greater fatality. Vice -Admiral Tryon wanted to steer toward land, and the Moate would have hampered him. Beside the limits were gotten in readineeenotwithetand- Ing the eigmaL" The Rear -Admiral further sand that he did nob wiped, any semaphere explanation of Tryon'a stgna], although he adenetted that such an explanation was aometimee given. Ile bad often performed Ie•volntions without perceiving their object, which was only explained by the com- mander-in-chief •afterwards. He had never before received a signal that caused doubta Las to tbe safety of Ito execution, but he had emplicltconfidence in Vice -Admiral Tryon, and therefore he felt no anxiety about obey- , be his erdere. lag -Lieutenant 33radahaw, of the Camp- ardewn, was next examined. Ho cor- roborated the tsetimony of Rear -Admiral ,)Markham. ;Capt. Jobnatone, of theCernperdown, also gave .teatimony similar to that of the Rear- Admiral. He said that be cvm,sidered that "Tryon's memorandum had no bearing on the ease. The witness thought ib extremely :dfn:agerone to act contrary to commanders' ,erderis for manoeuvre which perbaps had been carefully considered and worked out mathematically. hear -Admiral Markham's Interpretation of Tryon's order seemed the nnly'Seasonable one. Capt. Johnstone said that -none of the water -tight compartments rd the Camperdown remained open, be- i use the rush of water prevented them from being closed. He WAS unable to say /whether he thoughb at the time that he wee working the ship on hie own re- epanaibiiity or was merely executing .'Amar -Admiral Merhham'a orders, but he wan ready to accept full responaibiliby ler the management of the veeael. He be- 3ieved that the leader of the firs, division had the power to prevent the accident by reversing her helm in time. Rear -Admiral Markham further said that Ise bad conferred with his flag-lieutenanb and cnptafn, and that both concurred in his ,asanmption that the Viotoria was to pass round to the outside of the -Camperdown. Had this assumption been founded on fact the manteuvre would have been attended ley no danger. When he discovered that tin assumption was wrong, he watched the 'Victoria's helm signal" with the closest attention. The Rear -Admiral nutted What he was cognizant of Vice - Admiral Tryon's memorandum in regard to discretionary obedience ,ef ardent when strict obedience would eentail dieaster. In reply to further ques- tions he stated that when he saw that the Viotoria helm eipgnals were not altered he ordered Capt. Johnstone to revere° the irnperdown's starboard screw, and to close the water -tight doors in the collision bulk - Jamie. These orders were communicated Capt. Jehnsone to the proper officers and *sere promptly obeyed. Soon after Rear - Admiral Markham naw that a collision was inevitable, and the order to go astern with loth engines was signalled to the engine. room. When the signal flying on the Vim terla was hauled down the Camperdown was ;powerless to avoid a collfson. A newspaper correspondent at Tripoli mends word that be went along the shore there for five miles, on July 8th, and found tiro beach strewn with the woodwork of the 'Viotoria. "Therewaseconfuebao," he nays, 8° of tops of tables, stateroom partibions,rail- 3ngs,ammunitlon boxee,torpedo caaea,maga- ::.Jnedoors, skylights, oak casks, officere' chests And notate woodwork from the engine -rooms and other parte of the bottom of bho ship. All was broken np small enough to bo need at ;firewood. The wrecks of five boats were to be seen, among them the Admiral's ,gig. It was in about thirty pieces. Judging from talks with officers, it was the wonder- einl discipline that drove so many men to rolrdeath. No man left his post, It ;seems strange that out of several hundred scab only nix bodies were recovered, and all Those wore found bho first day. The abarke which swarm in these watere may account for the bodies of the rest. The nix re- amevtired are buried in the American cemetery here. The ship lies in 84 fathoms, by careful moundings. The natives here are delighted !!over the accident. They hate the English. 'Every time an English fleet puts in an ap- aranoe here they think it bas come to put yria under English rule. They think this tsnocident will end English cruising in these waters."' fllho'Victoria oourt-martr t is i is not progress- big otprogreas- iug without a good deal of criticism. Now ':khat it bas come out that Admiral Tryon wan in his usual sound mental health, won - tiler at the aocidenb has ohanged ib to open ',declaration that Demobbing is wrong. Nor Tryon's ;does •Admiral Tryon, a g°Herons "It was all may fault" satisfy those critics. fi`he court-martial bas brought out that the Camperdown efgnalled that she did nob inadoretand while she was turning. A cor- txecbadiagram will show that had both yes - ode turned as eba 1 nae rp y ae the Viotoria and at proper spend, the order would have been eixecuted by a oloso shave. The very way the) Vaxnperdown ebruok the Viotoria proves this. Admiral Tryoi{"a remark that the blame, sync all hie may have been et generous self- ;Yblproaol for attempting` so diii'etilt a mancmnvre. The court-martial is not done yet.. A great quanbiby of details ae to the closing of the bulkheads and hatches of the Vfcborie was brought in evidence by Capt. Bourke) and othere. Most of the bostiosony indicated that in the great haste many doors were bait wholly or partly unbuttoned, and therefore were pushed open by the force of the incoming water. Capb. Bourke was un- able to give any reason for the jamming of the Victoria's helm after collision. It is supponed, however, that the heavy influx of water upset the hydraulic apparatus. .A Valetta cable ant's : At yesterday's Viotoria court-martial Capb. Johnetone, of the Camperdown, was re-examined. He beatified that he felt that he was obeying orders evil houb knowing clearly how Vice - Admiral Tryon intended the evolution to be effected. To have imitated would have been to disobey. His eeneral feeling was that it was safest to confide in the ability of Mice -Admiral Tryon. He had on previous occasions obeyed the Vice -Admiral's signals without knowing the object of the man- oeuvre. He could not, however, 'mortify inetanoes when he had done thin. Midshipman Ogilvie, of the Campordown, beatified that he was stationed at the star- board tarboard telegraph ab the time of the collision. He was certain that he placed the index full speed astern as he had been ordered to do. Seaman Henwood was next examined. He declared that Rear -Admiral Markham ordered bins to signal to engine -room three- quarbere, and nob full speed, astern. This he did. Engineer Cerber corroborated the testimtny of Henwood. Capt. Arthur K. Wilson, of the battle- ship Sanapareil, testified that he supposed the maneouvre had prey ouely been ar- ranged by the leaders of the columns. The signals displayed by the fieg.hip ordering the manoeuvres that roadbed in the dia- meter astonished him. He could not sae how a collision was to be avoided, but he shared the general confidence in Vice- Admiral Tryons ability. The signal was made separately by each column. The order could only have been effected safely by the Victoria going around the Camper - down on the outside. The signal, however, could not properly have been so construed. To have disobeyed the order would hay° in- volved the moat serious responsibility , Capt. Noel was questioned closely in the intereata of Rear Admiral Markham. He declined to admit, however, that Mark - hem's interpretation of the signal was ins- tified. Ho thought thab Markham had the right to expect a further eemaphore sig- nal in case Admiral Tryon' intended to make such a dangerous evolution as was attempted. Capb. Wilson, when similarly questioned, said thab Markham's interpretation of the signal was possible, but ought not to have been executed unless Markham was certain as to Admiral Tyron's exact intentions, Capt. Reginald N. Custance, of the warship' Phaeton, expressed the opinion tbab Admiral Tryon bad mistaken the radius for the diameter. Capt. S. VanderMeulen, of the Inflexible, said he saw the danger as soon as the signal was given, and fully expected' that Admiral Tryon, also seeing it, would alter the course of the Victoria and circle eastward. Capt. J. W. Brackenbury, of the Edin- burgh, tesbified'that he had expented the Victoria to circle outward, as the danger of executing the signal other wisewas perfectly apparent. If the Camperdown bad stopped, be added, she would have collided with the Edinburgh. Capt. Jenkins, of the Coilingwood, gave similar testimony. All the officers who fol- lowed Capte. Noel and Wilson en the stand agreed that Rear -Admiral Markham's in- terpretation of the fatal signal was correct. Admiral Hornby has varied this sort of stuff by writing a manly letter to the United Service _Magazine in defence of Tryon. " Vacillation was the lash wealrnees," he eays, " of whiohA d mtral Tryon could be accused. I believe there was room to avoid the collision if the signals and general instructions had been obeyed. There appears to have been en absence of the epirib of mutual assistance which need to characterize the Mediterranean squadron." Admiral Hornby adde in another para- graph of his letter : "If, as Admiral, I had had the misfortune to make auoh a mistake I am confident that with hardly an excep- tion each captain would have kept clear of the flagship, although several captains, with good Comrade Tryon at their head, would have shaved the flagship in order to take a rise out of their chief. Why this was not done on the present ocoasion is a mystery. " Admiral Tryon'a great object was that the whole fleet should move in any direc- tion as fast as the flagship. There was no difficulty in this when the officers acted in the spirit of comradeship and decision. The disaster might have been avoided if the officers of the fleet had shown more confi- dence and decision. Officers are expected to have their own opinions and to act upon them in omergenciee. It looks to an old Mediterranean cruiser as if two things were wanting : " First, quick appreciation of facts ; mond, celerity of individual move - meat." The manoeuvres of the Channel squadron under Rear -Admiral Edward Seymour are watched with unusual interest by the public, and the taxpayers are growling on account of the numerous accidents that have already occurred. In five days there have been fourteen collisions. Many engines have been disabled and much lees con- siderable damage has been done. On Wednesday Admiral Seymour purposely hoisted tho•signal given by Admiral Tryon for the fatal evolution off Tripoli. Not a ehip obeyed it. Each ship signalled back that the order was not understood. Thereupon the first signal was counter- manded and the signal to turn outward, instead of inward, as did the columns off Tripoli, wae.given. One Instance. " Miranda," said Mr. Slimmins, "I wish you would not say that) people come in and almost talk you to death." "But they do, George," protested Mrs. Slimmins. "No, they don't. Such a thing is ab- surd.

Dr. Lewitt Blnndin'e iltatement Under Oath, Lffilctad With Parte is far Twenty'Fire Yearn—Pronounced Incurable by the Iforemoat Physicians In America—A Case or World Wide Interest. (From the Philadelphia Times.) Man survivors of the late war kit the ranks unwounded, bub with broken consti- tutions ; an instance in point is Dr. Lewis D. Blundin, a readout of Hulmeville, Buoks Co., Pa. In relating his experiences and what he had suffered in consequence of the hardehlpa he had enoounterod, Dr. Blundin said " I was born at Bridgewater, Penna., in 1841, and went through the war as private, horgean) and hospital steward in Company 0, 28th Pennsylvania Volunteers. My service was active, and while in Georgia I had an attack of typhoid fever, which left me weak and a ready victim for future disean. My kidneys were then affected, and this finally developed into spinal trouble, which lasted *rough my army service. In 1866 I was mustered out with an honorable discharge, and entered the Jefferson Medical College ae a student. In due time I graduated and removed to Manayunk. One day, after I had gradu- abod, I was lying on a sofa at my home in Manayunk, when I felt a cold sensation in my lower limbs as though the blood had suddenly left them. When I tried to move them I was horrified at bho discovery that I was paralyzed from my hips to my boos. The paralysis was complete, and a pin or a pinch of the flesh owned me no pain. I could not move a muscles I called in Dr. William Todd, of Philadelphia. He made a careful and ex- hanebive examination of my case, sounding and testing, and finally announced that my trouble war caused by inflammation ef the spinal cord, and that I would likely have another stroke of paralysis. I consulted Dr. L W. Gross and Dr. Penooasb, of Jef- ferson College, Philadelphia, with the rams resuib. I called in Dr. Moorehouee, of Philadelphia, who said that no amount of medicine would ever prove of the elighbest benefit to me. " One day last September I decided to try. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals People. I sent for one box, I had always been troubled with a sort of vertigo after my first stroke of paralysis to mesh an extent that when I got out of my bed my head would swim, and I had difficulty in saving myself from falling. Illy appetite yeas bad, digestive organs rained, and no assimila- tion of food. In addition to my many other ailments, rhenmabians held a promi- nent plane. By the time I had finished the first box of Pink Pills I war cone- parabively free from these minor ills. My appetite returned, the digestive organs got down to their daily grind and the rheumatism disappeared. I was much encouraged and immediately sent for half a dozen boxes of Pink Pills. Relief followed upon relief with astenlnhing rapidity. First, one ailment -would disap- pear, then another, until the pine got to work upon the foundation stones of my trouble—paralysis. I felt a sense of ex- hilaration and the general offeob wan bene- ficial, becoming more so each day. Noting this fact, I increased the dose from one to two pills after each meal for a few days,. Before I had taken the six boxes of pills, I war orbiting in my chair one afbernoon, when I felt a curious sensation in my left foot. Uponeinvosblgation'1 found at ha•3', flexed, or, in other words, become movable, and I could move it. From that time en my improvement was steady, and it was not long before I was walking around on crutches with little or no disoemfore. It was three yearn before teking the) Pink Pella that I had been able to use the orr9te:bee at any time. My health le daily improving' and I feel care that Pink Pills have done me more good than all the dooters and all the medicine in the country and no they are nob oosbly I can easily afford the treat- ment." Dr. Blundin belle of another resuarilablt cure effeoted by the use of Pink Pine. Ono of his comrades in the army was Lewis J. Allen, of Battle Creek, Michigan, who has been a sufferer from rhourmatiem nearly all his life. Mr. Allen is a grandams of Ethan Alien, of revolutionary fame. " I know," said Dr. Blundin, " that Mr. Allen could nob lift his arms to his head, or even his hands to his mouth, beoauso of chronic rheumatism. He read in a Detroit papier of ee wonderful cure made by Pink Pine and bought some. Hie cure was sudden and complete. Knowing that I was a sufferer from rheumatism, along with my other ills, he wrote me about his recovery and advised me to try them 1 was then using thorn. He said he had perfect control of his arms and kande and could use them freely with- out experiencing any pain. He added that as a cure for rheumatism the pine were the moot os mpiebe in the world. My Dame alone proves teat, for I am confident that my greatly benofittod condition le due solely to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pala People."

She says Smith did not stay in Goderioh with her a month, but went away to Belleville. She has seen him several times since, and hoe helped him by her own earnings, though he never supported ber. The last time she saw him was last year. He had been brevetting with a circus ; the show col- lapsed and he care through to Hamilton. " I wish tide marriage of his would let me out of mine," she said, " because I wouldn't want to waste the price of a divorce on him." " Did he ever ill-treat you ?" asked the reporter. " Nob much. He never got the chance," was the reply, and the lady's eyes mapped. " Did you have any children ?" " No ; it's better to be born luoky than rich." " Are you going to Belleville as a witness against Smith ?" " No, I don't want to have any truck with him at all. Henan do what he likes as long as he keeps away from me. He was arrested in Napanee fer this same offonoe two yearn ago, but he broke jail before he had been in the Dells fifteen minutes." The Miners Obstinate. A London cable says : Action was taken yesterday by the representatives of the coal miners that renders a prolonged strike a practical certainty. The conference of the Miners' Federation at Birmingham yester- day appointed a deputation to meet a representative of the Mine -owners' Associa- tion. The meeting was bald in this city to -day. Mr. Benj. Pickard, Vice•President of the Miners' National Union, was the principal spokesman for the miners. He refused to either accept a reduction of wages of 25 per cent, or one penny, or to submit tbe quotation to arbitration. The chairman of the Mine -owners' Association said he regretted the attitude of the men, and assured the members of the deputation that the offer to arbitrate was still open. The mine owners were considerably sur- prised to find that the men were firm in their determination to accept no reduction whatever. As long ae the miners maintain this positien arbitration will be useless. _Down With High Prices For Electric Belts. $1.55, $2.65, $3.70 ; former prices $5, $7, $10.

FALSE ECONOMY IN SAVING, Ellu Wheeler Wiloox on Aooumulators of Oil Rubbish, HOT WEATHER ADVIOE FREE, /KONG the first lessons taught children, some Ella Wheeler Wilcox, is the lesson of eavingtheir possessions—of keeping books, • garments, gifts, mementos and all ,hinge which belong to them, in fact—and carefully preserving them from year to year. To .a certain extent that habit is a good one, and embodies the old want not." But ivetead of teaching a chilWaste d save everything I think it would e wiser to teach le so waste nothing. There is no. economy in saving everything. Indeed I am convinced by obaervatien that the habit carried beyond a certain limit is a fee to progress. To save everything old, I have observed, menus to accumulate little that le new. WORTHLESS ACCII1aauiATIONS. I visited an old house some time ago where everything worn a look of decay and ruin. Having occasion to go into the gar- ret with a member of the family, I die - covered an immense pile of rubbneb, tom. posed of broken old chairs, frames of broken mirrors, dilapidated washstands, ragged bed quilts, which had been carefully washed end laid away, and a runty and useless stove. A cheat in one corner was filled with torn beetle, which had neither beginning nor end, photographs from which the heads bad been torn, a broken backed and dog- eared album, half sheets of music andpaste. board boxes, some without covers, and other covers without boxes, "For what in the world are you saving all this rubbish ?" I queried. " Why don't yen sell the rusty stove fer old iron, and the bed quilts to the ragman, and make a bonfire of the contents of this chest?" TEO'OGET IT ECONOMY. The lady lifted her hands in protestation. "Oh, you destructive creature !" one cried. "All these things may come handy some day. I alwayo believed in saving every- thing. These pasteboard boxes, for in. stance, are bandy in cans you want to send away a photograph, and the old bed quilts would be just the thing to smother flames with in caao of fire. There is nothing like economy, r ou know. " But this is nob economy," I insisted. " Were you to sell all thio rubbish to the ragman and the old iron man, it would bring you money enough to buy all the photo- graph envelopes you desire, with ready made pasteboard Backe, and hand grenades with which to extinguish fire." "° I never heard of those things," she said. " Ne." I replied. " People who have a mania for accumulating old truck never do keep np with the times." OET RID OF RUBBISH. I once heard a housekeeper of a country home complain that she bad no roam in the pantry to properly place her pans and dishes. I remarked to her that the two upper shelves were loaded with old medicine bottles, empty pili -boxes, broken flatirons and noselees teapots, and that she had better dig ahole in the ground and bury the whole mese, leaving room for her necessary articles. But she declared herself to be too " saving" to perform such an not. " Empty bottles often are handy," she said, " and I intend to have the flat- irons and teapots mended some day." " But yeu never wilI," I raid. " People who get in the habit of saving broken trash never get it mended. And you will never need more than two bottles out of that score. You will be able to think more clearly, and your mind would nob become so tired over your werk, if you had these two shelves cleaned off. Unconsciously toyour- eei.f, their cluttered condition and the way yon are obliged to crowd things in conte' (pence tax your meatal powers." SAVING BENT PINS. I once knew a man who spent hours in pinking up and straightening bent pine. He exhibited with pride a cushion filled with the pins which he had rescued from an ignominious fate. But he was never able to support his wife and family, and his life, despite his achievements with the pins, was a pitiful failure. A child might to discriminate in what should be saved—to give away or sell out- grown garments, to mend or destroy a breken object, and to burn or put in the ragbag soiled, frayed, ragged odds and ends that can be off no possible use to "king or country." Old and melees objects mean old and useless thoughts. Ragged and broken objects mean ragged and broken minde. Clothes-preseea and boxes cumbered with rubbish cause the mind also to be cumbered and crippled in ate powers of achievement in the line of progrees. Too much saving is as bad as waste. DON'T OVERWORIK YOURSELF. The food is one groat difficulty with the busy housewife. So many muse eland all tbrough the hot, scorching daye over a broiling fire and cook and bake. Whileeome may not be able to avoid this, others are eo situated that, with planning their work. they can. It pays to rise early in hot weather and do our cooking, ironing, wash- ing, etc., in the cool of the day. Then, too, if we open our house very early in the morning, tboroughly cooling it off, then closinga e i t g ain t e the hob air, it will be found to keep much mare comfortable than if opened to the eun and wind. This suggestion is only for very oppressive weather, for we need the heat of the sun to preserve health. Let the food be of a wholesome, easilyprepared kind ;- the simpler the dishes the better for the health, and especially in " cholera weather." If you have fruit don't spoil it by making ib into pies, bub eat it in its natural state. They who cannot get along without pie have already d destroyed ed the healthful tone of the stomach. Good' broad and butter, milk, vegotablea, fruit and wholesomeuddin p gs, nor dessert, if one feels 1b necessary, are good enough for anyone and need not keep one cooking all the time if the work is properly arranged. Singe oil stoves are " ail the rage," it is perhaps needless to recommend thews. What a bleating to women they are I We wish that every tired perspiring housewife had one. It will pay to forego many things to got one, :BATHS AND CLOTHIING. Baths should be frequent during the heated season, for health as well asfor com- fort. A daily morning or evening sponge or towel bath is delightful. Children,espeof- ally babiee, oppreoiate thie. As hob weather is very often eandwiohed with cold, raw days, and sudden changes are dangerous to health, we should learn to dress with the weather, Don't bo afraid of wearing cotton stock- ings in winter or woollen cubes in summer, if T IME' WOMAN W U'O WG'Q.EKS, and is tired, will find a s ecial help in Doctor Pier'ce's Favorite e hre- ecription.
