WESTFIELD REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY JULY 6; 1898 Wash Day Troubles come to an end the day you get a vapor stove. You can boil your clothes, heat your irons and cook the dinner without muss or confusion. You can do anything and everything on a vapor stove, from broiling a steak to roasting a turkey. The dirt it saves, the labor it saves, the money it saves, makes a VAPOR STOVE an indispensable requisite to household comfort. There is no fuel equal to stove gasoline in point of efficien- cy, economy, and cleanliness. Over 2,000,000 women are using it to-day. If your dealer does not sell Vapor Stoves and Stove Gasoline, write to toe Standard Oil Company, New York City. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. International S. S. Lesson for July 10. Elijak the Prophet. I Kings 17:1-16. Head to 18th chapter, 7th verse. Golden Text—''And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according io the word of the Lord." I Kings 17:16. Elijah, the prophet, a native of Tishbeh in Gilead; bold and faithful, stood before wicked king Ahab and worse Jezebel, his queen; with the word of the Lord, because of Israel's sins, "There shall not be dew uer rain these years, but according to my word." Then began the three and a half years drought, when Jezebel persecuted the prophets; and Obadiah, the governor of the king's house, who feared the Lord greatly, hid a hundred by fifties in two •caves, and fed them with bread and water; and Elijah fled from royalty which should have protected him. And the Lord told him to go to the brook Cherilh, that is before Jordan, where he wag fed with bread and meat every morning and evening by raveng, and drank of the brook. And when the brook dried up, the Lord told him to go to Zare- phath, a city in Zidon, to a widow's house, who would sustain him. Although this woman had only a hand- ful of meat, and a little oil, the Lord promised her that it should last until He sent rain. And Elijah brought more blessings to her house when her son died, and was restored to life through his prayer. Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth." Elijah was in those parts more than two years, and there was a sore famine in Samaria, and Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks; perad venture we may find grass to save the horses and moles alive, that we lose not all the beasts." So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself, vainly seeking help against God. How different from David's plea, "My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and eaith;" and from the prayer of Solomon at the dedication of the Tem- ple, "When Heaves is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their #in, when Thou afSictest them . . If there be in the land famine . . Then hear Thon in Heaven Thy dwelling place, and for- give, and do, and give to every man ac- cording to his wayg, whose heart Thou knowest." Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Provi- dence, K. I. He says: "For several years I have been almost a constant suf- ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at- tacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this botel. About two yean ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my sur- prise and delight its effects were im- mediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The result baa been very satisfactory and almost com f opic For the Week Beginning July 10. Comment by Rev. S.. H. Doyle. TOPIC—The consecration of ability.—Hag. ii, 1-9; Mark xii, 29-31. (Prayer for the international Chris- tian Endeavor convention.) All have not the same talents and abilities in life. God has placed some in high position and some in low. To some He has given great wealth, to others poverty. To one man He gives power and influence; to another He does nor. Some men have five talents, some but two, some but one. But whether much or little has been given it has all come from God and should be used for Him. 1. Ability should be consecrated to God because it is the gift of God. All things belong to God and are gifts from God, given <iot to be nsed for ourselves, but for Him. "The silver is mine and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts." "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof," saith the psalmist. It is God who exaltetb one man and debasetb an- other. The man who has five talents-re- ceived them from God. They therefore belong to God and should be consecrated to Him. Great talents possess a great danger. We are apt to be proud and selfish, to imagine that the greatness is inherent in ourselves, and that we can use it for our own glory and advance- ment. No matter how great may be our talents and ability, let us remember that all comes from God, and thank Him by using all our gifts for Him and His cause. 2. Ability should be consecrated to God, because it brings great responsibil- ity. God will demand of us an account for all He has given ns. The man who had five talents had to account for five talents. We often envy those who are rich, those who occupy high positions in life, and wish we bad similar riches and positions, but when we think what great responsibilities come with these things had we not perhaps better thank God that He has withheld them from ns. Think of accounting to God for the nse of |1,000,GOO! Think of accounting to God for the power and ability to in- fluence for good or evil hundreds or thousands of human beings, possessing immortal sonls! The only way to bear the responsibility of ability, however great or small, is to consecrate it to God, to nse it not as belonging to ourselves, but to Him. 3. Ability should be consecrated to God, because it is a divine command that our all should be given to him. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." This, says Christ, is the 1 first commandment. With heart, soul, mind and strength, with our en- tire beings, we are to love and serve God. This is His own commandment. Abilities of head, heart and hand are to be used for God, however great or how- ever small they may be. All that we are, all that we may hope to be, all that we have, comes from God and should be used therefore for Him. Bible Readings. —Deut. vi, 1-5; Judges vii, 15-23; I Sam. xvii, 45-54; II Sam. xxii, 33, 35, Pa. xcvi, civ, 24; cxxi, 1-8; cxxiv, 1-8; xxv, 14-30; Luke xvi, 19-31; xix, Rom. xii, 1; I Cor. vi, 19, 20; Eph. iv, 11-16. » , 7-13; Math. 11-27; x, 31; Maturity and Symmetry. When a soul is born anew, it is "a babe of Christ," and as such is an ob- ject of interest, gratitude and expecta- tion. The hope is that it will not al- ways be a babe. Birth itself is a great event only if it is the antecedent of something greater. The family does not exist simply tha£ children may be born, but chiefly that they may be trained into mature and symmetrical men and women, that the race may be advanced in strength and well being. The church does not exist simply that men may be born again, but chiefly that they may be developed into "full grown men," attaining "the stature of the fullness of Christ"—Commonwealth, Baptist BOMBARDMENT POSTPONED General Shafter Will Not Storm Santiago Just at Present. AID FEOM OUR FLEET. Joint Attack to Be Made by the Land and Sea Forces. The staite department took occasion o dispel some of the Spanish illusions >ver the escape of Admiral Cervera's fleet. It seems that Madrid it not alone in the belief that the fleet made a handsome sortie from Santiago and left the American warships far in the rear. '• Extremity. When men get into trouble, they are often anxious to be saved from cheir troubles, though they were unwilling to take advice before. It is our duty to ask God to keep us from running into temptation as well as to ask Him to help us out. The best time to ask God's belp out of trouble is before one gets into it. Many a child cries lustily for help to get out of the pond who refused to obey his mother and stay away from it. It is true "man's extremity is God's opportunity. " But man had better not wait for the extremity, but take coun- sel in time that he may be saved from the extremity.—Christian Instructor. In Character. We certainly shall feel grateful, a blessing will come back upon us, if we succeed iu any degree in evoking a fresh courage, a new hope, a wiser resolu- tion. Let us, let all remember, as our greatest of philosophers has said, that the essence of life is not in compensa- tions, but in character. Of this no one can rob us, this none can diminish or make lew precious, if in every trial, in every loss, in every misfortune, we are true to ourselves.—Christian plete relief from the affliction." for sale by G. H. Peglar, Westfield, N. Y. 1 ^ ^ M . ^ with Dr. Pain PUls, Situation Was Completely Changed by the Annihilation of the Spanish Fleet. The Way Cleared For the Entrance of Our War Vessels Into the Harbor Where They Can Greatly Aid the Land Forces In Capturing the City—It Is Be- lieved That Admiral Sampson Has Been Advised to Enter the Harbor, but at the same Time He Is at Liberty to Act as He Thinks the Occasion Requires. WASHINGTON, July 6.-—\s a result of the cabinet meeting instructions were sent by the president to Admiral Sampson and General Shafter to con- fer together concerning a joint plan of attack upun the city. Upon the out- come of this conference depends the line of action of the immediate future. For the present the land bombardment by General Shafter's forces has been deferred, as the situation has so con. pletely changed by the annihilation of the Spanish fleet that it is manifestly the part of wisdom for this land bom- bardment to await tiie co-operation and support of a bombardment from Admiral Sampson's fleet. General Shafter's demand for the surrender of Santiago on the pain of bombardment was made at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning. An hour later Ad- miral Oervera made his suicidal dash from the harbor, resulting in a com- plete transformation of the naval and military conditions. Instead of a men- acing Spanish fleet within the harbor, the way has been cleared save for the shore batteries, for the entrance of the American fleet up to the very Wharves of the city. With this ma- terial change wrought, it was obvious to the authorities ! ere that the blow, first intended to be delivered by Gen- eral Shafter alone, would be doubly effective and decisive If the two forces could be brought together and strike simultaneously from lanu and sea. It is for this reason that the con- ference is held between the American general and the American admiral. No word has come either to the waf or navy departments so far as was disclosed, as to what determination had been reached at the conference. At the same time it Is the clear expec- tation of the authorities here that the conference will result in a determina- tion by the admiral to take his fleet through the narrow n-eck of the harbor, make his way past the shore batteries and fortifications and take position before the city for a bombardment. There is reason to believe that the instructions sent to Admiral Sampson at least conveyed the desire, if not the instructions that he enter the harbor. But it is said that the admiral and the general continue to be the supreme officials in authority and that being on the scene fully alive to all the con- ditions, their judgment will be taken as final in the course to be adopted. There is said to be no obstacle so far as navigation is concerned to the en- trance of the harbor by the American fleet. The Cristobal Colon. which cleared the Merrimae and got out of the harbor Sunday drew 23 feet, 3 inches, which is witnin seven inches of the draught of the battle ships Iowa, Indiana. Massachusetts and Oregon, and is greater than the draught of the battle ship Texas. Moreover the navy department has known for the last 10 days that the neck of the channel was open, despite the sinking of the Mer- rimae, and that there was a clear sea- way of seven fathoms through which any ship in our navy could sail. This removes all difficulty, except for sub- marine mines and shore batteries. As to the mines, little account is taken of them since the Spanish fleet passed over them. The Spaniards are in the habit of using contact mines, so that there is little livelihood of there being mines operated by qjectrie connec- tions with the shore. The forts and batteriew have been badly weakened by the constant fire of the fleet for many weeks past, and while still a factor tfhey are greatly disabled. Once up to the city the fleet and army could combine in a terrific double fire. No less than 292 heavy guns would be trained from the Amer- ican warships on the city, and at the same time the big siege guns, which it is expected have been brought to the front of Shafter's line, would rain down a torrent of steel from that quar- ter. The siege guns throw shells of 135 pounds. Aside from them there are four Morton-Howitzers and a large number of smaller Howitzers. These are in the heavy artillery, while the light artillery embraces a great num- ber of guns of 3.2 calibre. Combined, this fire from land and sea would be terrific in its effect. The action of the foreign represen- tatives at Santiago has been an addi- tional reason for deferring the bom- bardment. One of General Shafter's dispatches stated that these represen- tatives had joined in a -request to him \z pyt z% the shelling of the city for another brief period until their re- spective colonies could be removed. This accounts for the departure of the foreign warships from Santiago har- bor, as they are bearing away the for- eign residents in the period before the bombardment begins. The activity of the consuls at Santiago has led to no diplomatic complication which has reached the state department thus far and the authorities here feel that notfl- Utg of that nature will develop. UNFORTUNATE OFFICERS. Fifty-Eight Were Either Killed or Wounded at Santiago. WASHINGTON, July 6.—Considera- ble comment has been caused among the officials of the war department by Uie great loss of American officers in the two days of fighting at Santiago. Official reports thus far received indi- cate that 58 American officers were either killed or wounded and the list is only partial. Speaking of the matter Adjutant General Corbin said that a finer lot of officers than was with General Shaf- ter's corps in Cuba never wore shoul- der straps. They were brave, aggress- ive and brilliant and were well worthy to carry the honor of the stars and stripes. General Corbin did not forget the enlisted men in his comment, say- ing that the great majority of Shaf- ter's force was the pick of the regular army, strong, resolute, admirably dis- ciplined and thoroughly enthusiastic and patriotic. Shafter's army is laboring at some disadvantage, not only on account of the intense heat and the check of a great battle, but also on account of the loss and disability of so many officers. While none of the general officers has been wounded, no less than five of them are ill and were they at home would be in bed. General Shafter is suffering himself from a -severe indisposition, accord- ing to last reports, was somewhat im- proved but it is notable that he di- rected the first day's fight from a cot on which he was lying. General Joseph Wheeler, in command of the cavalry division, was very seriously ill. but when the battle began insisted against the protests of his surgeons that he be taken to -oe front. He went in an ambulance, but when he arrived on the field he mounted his horse and personally directed the op- erations of his men. General Young. General Hawkins and Acting Brigadier General Wood of the Rough Riders are still ill, bu. it is un- derstood that their condition is not serious. The heavy loss of officers is due to the dash and bravery of the officers themselves. Instance after instance has been disclosed of officers springing in front of their commands and lead- them in brilliant sorties against the enemy. Quite naturally the Spanish sharpshooters singled out the officers as their targets and the result was that the American forces suffered par- ticularly heavy in this respect. PRAISES FOR SCHLEY. His Friends Giving Him Credit For th« Great Naval Victory. WASHINGTON. July 6.—Represen- tative Berry of Kentucky, a member of the house committee on foreign af fairs, has Introduced the followin joint resolution tendering the thanks of congress to Commodore Schley, U. S. N., and the officers and men under his command: "Resolved. That the thanks of con- gress and the American people are hereby tendered to Commodore Schley, U. S. N.. and the officers and men un- der his command for their heroic and distinguished conduct in destroying the Spanish fleet in Cuban waters on the 3d of July last." The resolution was refered to tht naval affairs committee. Mr. Berry in speaking of his resolu- tion said: "I propose that the officers to whom the glory is due shall be rec- ognized. Schley is the real hero of the incident. He and the brave band of officers and men under his imme- diate direction are the ones who achieved the victory and all honor should be given them. Sampson com- mands the fleet in these waters, but it was Commodore Schley in command when Cervera and his fleet made the plucky attempt at escape and it was under Schley that everyone of that Spanish fleet met its destruction. Schley and his men have performed a notable feat that will go down in history hand-in-hand with that dar- ing forcing of Manila harbor by Dewey on May 1. Congress should be prompt in recognizing their services and there should be no delay in tendering its thanks and those of the country to the real heroes at Santiago." Opportunities Missed. The individual who has reached oi passed midlife in locking backward must needs mark many a turning point in his career when for some reason oi another, through ignorance, indifference or supineness, he let slip an opportu nity which improved might have influ enced most favorably his whole future. These lost opportunities are in manj cases the source of deep regret, anc when missed through unwillingness tc make needful sacrifices or through sloth ful self indulgence they are properlj the occasion of unavailing laments.— Christian Intellisencer. ^ PISO'S CURE FOR B CURES WHME All ELSE FAU.S. Bet* Cough Syrup.

Seventeen Hundred Men In the Two Days' Fighting Is the Estimate. KINGSTON, July 6.—The fighting during the two days' battle has cost the American army 1.700 men. This estimate is made by the surgeons at division headquarters, after a care- ful llguring by the surgeons at the hospitals. The list of wounded is very large in proportion to the list of those killed outright. Probably less than 100, all told, of the number of wounded have died, making the total number of deaths in the neighborhood of 150. The remainder of the wounded will prob- ably recover. Considering the fact that not over 12.000 m e n were engaged on our side, and not all of those were" actually un- der fire, the percentage of loss is very heavy. The slaughter was brought about nominally by the gallantry with which our troops advanced into the open ground in the face of a heavy Are from the Spanish entrenchments and rifle pits. Our men generally had the opinion that the Spaniards could not shoot, and many, it must be confessed, thought th'-y would not fight. Both impressions were erroneous, particu- larly the latter. The Spanish have fought with great determination and bravery. The returns show that a number at regiments suffered very heavily, the Seventy-first New York being the worst cut up of the volun- teer regiments, and the Thirteenth and Sixth regular infantry close in the race for glory. In some companies of the Thirteenth regiment one-third of the men are gone, and there are companies in tnat regiment now entirely without offi- cers. In the Sixth infantry more than one- third of the officers are gone, only one field officer, Major Miner, being left CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

'• Extremity . When men get into trouble, they are
often anxious to be saved from cheir troubles, though they were unwilling to take advice before. It is our duty to ask God to keep us from running into temptation as well as to ask Him to help us out. The best time to ask God's belp out of trouble is before one gets into it. Many a child cries lustily for help to get out of the pond who refused to obey his mother and stay away from it. It is true "man's extremity is God's opportunity. " But man had better not wait for the extremity, but take counsel in time that he may be saved from the extremity.—Christian Instructor.
I n Character.
We certainly shall feel grateful, a blessing will come back upon us, if we succeed iu any degree in evoking a fresh courage, a new hope, a wiser resolution. Let us, let all remember, as our greatest of philosophers has said, that the essence of life is not in compensations, but in character. Of this no one can rob us, this none can diminish or make lew precious, if in every trial, in every loss, in every misfortune, we are true to ourselves.—Christian

Opportuni t ies Missed. The individual who has reached oi
passed midlife in locking backward must needs mark many a turning point in his career when for some reason oi another, through ignorance, indifference or supineness, he let slip an opportu nity which improved might have influ enced most favorably his whole future. These lost opportunities are in manj cases the source of deep regret, anc when missed through unwillingness tc make needful sacrifices or through sloth ful self indulgence they are properlj the occasion of unavailing laments.— Christian Intellisencer.

A Snre Refuge . Oh, weary heart with care oppressed. With doubts and fear and toil depressed, Bark, is a voice that call to thee. Come unto mel Come unto me,
And I will give you rest!
Cast all the burdens that ye bear Here on my arms and rest ye there, For I will give you sweet release And bless thee with my perlect peace,
Such as you ne'er possessed.
Dear Refuge, yes, to Thee we fly, And Satan's every shaft defy, And, though the storms of life may rage, Thy care shall all our fear assuage.
Thou bidst the surges cease.
Th-?re, free from all the chains n-hich bind, What hope ecstatic fills the mind! What freedom from the thrall of sin For thuse who rise and let Thee in.
And life known no decease! •Oliver Ltsher in Philadelphia Public Ledger.
