cruisers and battle ships, and of light
draught, and the cost of each is not to
exceed $280,000, exclusive of the armor.
Three of these gun boats are to be pro-
vided with sails as well as steam pow-
er. They will be just the vessels need-
ed in various foreign waters in which
we have to keep a vessel of some sort
nearly all the time. They will carry
small crews and will be cheaply main-
tained and they can perform the duty
of looking out for American interests
in lots of places just as effectively as

times as much to keep up.

Electric Bitters,
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen-
erally needed in the spring, when the
feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of a tonic and alterative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fa-
tal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
