William Thomas Sampson, born l-'eb. 9. J Slit, was of humble origin. Ilia father was a laborer in l'alin.vra. N. Y., and young Sampson, the eldest of eight children, dug In the ditches with his father and so did most of his studying at home, having little time for school. In IN."" n eadetshlp at Annapolis was refused by several of the wealthy lads of I'm I my ni. Sampson took it and graduated first In his class. He was ADMIRAL SAMTSON. made n lieutenant In ISC'J and first saw sea service on the Ironclad I'atapsco. He wan an executive officer when she was sunk by a torpedo In Charleston hurbor In 18(o. In that emergency he showed the coolness that afterward distinguished him. His feet caught in the boarding not as the ship sank. He waited until the first rush of water was ovor, then disentangled himself and floated to the surface. He served ou the European station ami nt the Naval academy after that and finally became superintendent at Annapolis iu 1S8U. He then had a low er rank than any of his predecessors in charge of the academy. Ho next became chief of ordnance as a captain and was considered the greatest ordnance expert iu the navy. He was at the head of the court that investigated the blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor and again demonstrated his coolness. President McKlnley chose him as a commander of the Beet in Cuban wa ters at the breaking out of the Spanish war. He was moved to that position over the heads of many men of higher rank, for he was only a captain. It wus believed the controversy that was waged so fiercely after the war as to who was oMttled to the credit of the Santiago victory had much to do with the failure of his health. He was retired as a rear admiral in February last. Twice Admiral Sampson was mar ried. By his first matrimonial venture bo had four daughters, Mrs. Itoy C. Smith, wife of Lieutenant Smith of the United States navy; Mrs. Jackson, wife of Kusign It. H. Jackson; Mrs. Cluverius, wife of Walter C Cluverius, and Miss Olive Sampson.

Ilnnne Ailjonrim For Third Consern live IMF Ont of Kenprrt to n Head Member Heath of Hrnreseuta . live salmon of eir Jeraer, WASHINGTON, May ".For nlmost four hours yesterday a fiery discussion of the Philippine situation raged in the senate. It was started by Mr. P.ever Idge (Ind.), who made some sharp strictures on the members of the oppo Hltioii because, as he said, they per sisted in telling in their speeches only one sidn of the story. While he admit ted thut some outrages had been com mitted by American soldiers In the Philippines, It was true, too, that un paralleled kindness had been shown by the American troops to Filipino prls uuers aud Filipino wounded. Food and medicine, he said, had been shared with them, and they had been succored on the battlefield and cared for ten derly In tin hospital. While saying that the omission to tell this side of the story by the Democrats was unin tentional, he suggested that It was un fair to make an arraignment of the .American soldier und not tell both sides. The house adjourned Immediately after the reading of the journal out of respect to the memory of Representa tive J. S. Salmon (X. J.).

A STRIKE AVERTED ? t'onferenee of Coal Itoad Presidents In New York. NEW YORK, May 7. Presidents of the leading anthracite coal ronds as well us some of the more important in dependent producers held a conference of several hours' duration in this city yesterday. According to report, the conference was attended by the execu tive heads of the Lackawanna, Dela ware and Hudson, Reading and On tario and Western ronds. The Erie Is said to ICE ORE AM SOARING- The Warm Wealhor Delicacy Keeplnfl Close Company with Bed. Ice cream and ice cream soila prom ise to be real luxuries this summer and from the present outlook the chappies will have to pay well for the cooling delicacies for the sweet tnings. In some of the eastern cities the prices of ice cream have already start ed to ascend skyward and the owners of gardens and saloons are holding consolation meetings with the butchers that the beef trust has nearly been put out of the business. Some of the leading creameries cf Philadelphia and vicinity have noti fied their customcis that cream has advanced six cents a quart wholesale and that it will cost the ice cream dealers and othets twenty two cents hereafter. They assign as the reason of this advance in price the scarcity of cream and milk. This in turn is caused, they state, by the high price of feed for cows, the great demand for cream for butter making, no butter being stored and hardly sufficient being made to supply the markets, and the fact that manv farmers have disposed of their cows as beef to se cure the hich prices for meat that now prevail. There has been no advance in Bloomsburg yet, but with the price going up all around us we would not be surprised to hear of an advance in the price at any time. Cream is scarce, and as a local dealer puts it 'good cream is very scarce." The quality of cream delivered about town, of late has been of a noticeably in ferior quality, but dairymen, claim that it is as good as they can afford to furnish for the price. A canvass of the state as well as Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Delaware has been made and it is found that practically the entire supply of cream is monopolized by the creameries and that it is hardly sufficient to supply the demands made upon it. It is thought that the price j may go down shortly as the cows will ' soon be put on grass diet. The Olose Fisted Fellows Can't Belong to the Berwick of Today- PARDONED BY KING.

Along with the boom comes j the fact that Berwick, by reason of I the increase in postal revenues, is have been represented by : entitled to free delivery. But she is likely to be dilatory in securing this advantage owing to the shortsighted' ness of some of her citizens. One of the requirements of free de livery is that the houses ;n the town be systematically numbered; and another that the streets be properly side-walked. It is the latter require ment that threatens free delivery in Berwick, because it is the worst side- walked town in this section of the State, and there does not seem to be any movement towards bettering this condition ot things. There are a number of property owners in Berwick who live with the idea that anything will do only so the taxes are not increased, l hey are willing that increased business and new industrial plants shall enhance the value of their property, but they no not want to contribute an addi tional cent towards bringing the town up to the improved standard. There are good, honest people among them, too; but they belong to the old Ber wick, not to the new Berwick, Hazleton Standard. Chairman Thomas, I Xo information concerning the meet ing was obtainable from official sources. A representative of one of the roads named is authority for the state- ; ment that the strike situation was thoroughly discussed and that action , favorable to the miners was taken. The strength of the coal stocks in I the afternoon, together with the em phatic statement of a member of the j firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. that there j will be no strike, was accepted as proof that pacific action will be taken ut the miners' convention In Scranton today. Six Uvea I. oat by a Cloudhnrat.

Keep the Balance Up. It has been truthfully said that any disturbance of the even balance of health causes serious trou ble. Nobody can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sickness, weak ness, or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, and should not 'be denied it; and the best tonic of which we have any knowl edge is Hood's Sarsaparilla.
