THE BIG TREES.
A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring
Product of Nature, Found
Only in California.
California’s attraction are
mostly of its own kind, peculiar
to its kind and of none is this so
emphatically true as that unique
product, the big trees. The age
of these colossi is from 1,500 to
2,000 years.
The Mariposa grove, which
can be visited while en route
to the Yosemite, contains some
of the largest. In the .Calaveras
grove are from ninety to one
hundred of huge size. Near
Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove
of redwood big trees, which will
well employ a day’s pleasant visit.
These can be best reached by the
Union Pacific, whose fast trains
from Missouri river reach Cali
fornia 16 hours ahead of all com
petitors.

ing the wonders of California,

FIRST OF NAVAL BATTLES.
t It Was Fought in Maryland Waters
in the Early Colonial
Days.
_
April 23 of this year was the two
, hundred and sixty-ninth anniversary
J of the first naval battle fought in
American waters. On that date two
I armed forces met at the mouth of the
i Pocomoke river, within the boundaries
j of the province of Maryland, and set
tled, at least temporarily, the authority
| of Lord Baltimore. The settlement a!
3t. Mary’s had been made but 1?
; months when this test of arms or- i
I curred, says the Chicago Chronicle.
About three years before the land
ing of the Maryland pilgrims- itndei
Gov. Leonard Calvert, by virtue of the ,
grant of the territory from Charles I.,
a trading post had been established by
William Claibourne, of Virginia, on
Kent island. It was not a settlement
intended for permanent homes and the
tilling of the soil, but merely a place
fixed upon by Claibourne for conven
ience of trade with the Indians. Kent \
island was clearly within the jurisdic- j
tion of Lord Baltimore, but Claibourne -
very foolishly resisted his authority j
and refused to take out a trader’s li- j
cense from the proprietary’s govern- •
ment at St Mary’s. This stubborn !
stand of Claibourne resulted in the :
capture early in the year by Capt.
Thomas Coruwaleys, one of the Mary
land commissioners, of a vessel be
longing to Claibourne for trading in
the waters of the Chesapeake without
a Maryland license.
Claibourne realized now that he
! would either have to break down Lord
, Baltimore’s authority by forc;e of arms
or be compelled to submit to that au
thority. He chose to fight and, accord
ingly, he fitted out an armed boat, the
| Cockatrice, which was manned by 30
men and placed under the command of
Lieut Radcliffe Warren, who was com
| missioned by Claibourne “to seize and
capture any pinnacles or other vessels
belonging to the government of St.
1V.T o *1
, This was a declaration of war and
when the news of the rebellion reached
I Gov. Calvert he at once determined to
put it down, as becomes a governor
whose rights are denied and whose au
thority is defied. Knowing the strength
of the insurgents, he wisely fitted out a
superior force, with the full determina
tion to crush the spirit that was giv
ing him no little trouble. So he
I manned and commissioned two vessels
| —the St. Margaret and the St. Helena
—placed them in command of the gal
lant Capt. Cornwaleys, with orders to
search out and destroy the enemy and
reduce Kent island to submission. j
The little squadron sailed out from
St. Mary’s with the Maryland colors
flying from the flagship and animated
by the same courageous spirit that two
and a half centuries later inspired an
other Maryland naval commander in
his gloriously successful search for the
Spanish fleet in the waters of the West
Indies. Their course took them across
the bay and soon they were rewarded
by sighting the sails of tbe insurgent
ship off the mouth of the Pocomoke
Cornwaleys skillfully maneuvered his
little fleet so as to prevent the escape
of the enemy and both sides cleared
for action. The insurgents delivered
the first fire, and so true was the aim
that William Ashmore, of the Mary
landers, fell to the deck, the first
American sailor whose life was sacri
ficed while in action upon the altar of
duty. The sight of their dead comrade
inspired the Maryland men to greater
determination, and made more deadly
their aim and threefold more terrible
their revenge. Their first fire killed
the enemy’s commanding officer—
Lieut Warren—and two of his' crew.
The insurgents having lost their leader
and two of their comrades and seeing
certain destruction staring them in the
face, were brought to realize that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
therefore they wisely struck their col
ors and surrendered themselves and
their vessel to the victorious aMry
landers.
Kent island was afterwards subdued
and Claibourne stripped of his posses
sion. But he did not cease to be a
source of great trouble to the settlers
of St. Mary's and more thaft once suc
ceeding in destroying, for a time, the
government of Lord Baltimore. But
that belongs to another story.
Thefts from Hotels.
A certain hotelkeeper in Washington
says that the people have no idea of the
small depredations that are committed
by guests, most of who ace people of
money enough oLVneir own to refrain.
He declares that not long ago he bought
700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and
before he had time to learn whether or
not the rooms had been supplied, the
whole outfit was gone, says the Washing
ton Post. “They are drummers, and
women and all kinds of people who took
them,” said he, “and probably they did
not think it was stealing to take things
away from the hotel. As to downright
theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat
ter of meals, there is much less of It in
hotels than you would suppose; but
Lord! how they will crib the soap and
linen and spoons!”
Far from Home.
Relative—I notice that you have at last
got acquainted with your next-door
neighbor, who has lived alongside of you
for the past ten years.
Mrs. D’Avnoo—Yes, we were intro
duced to each other at the Pyramids of
Egypt, and I found her a delightful com
panion. We became very intimate.—
London Tit-Bits.
His Limited Circle.
Solon was inventing his motto.
“What do you think of ‘Know thy
self?’ ” he asked.
“Fine,” they answered, “but can’t you
get acquainted in any better circles?"
Sadly he began to search gfor a new
trade-mark.—N. Y. Tribune.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists snd musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line' (many making ne ore
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale pir i like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The coat to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no leBB than that of other of the

Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in
cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modem science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rale, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of the physi
cal and mental forces.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the skin. When applied it opens the
pores aud allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
and muscles, removes the congestion and
draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company
