The highest mountain on the North
American continent is Mount ST. Elias, in
Alaska, whose elevation is 900 feet.
Next to itcomes the volcano of Popocata-
petl, in Mexico, II 1854, and Orizaba also
in Mexico, 1873 feet. If the newly-dis-
covered peak of the Holy Cross, in the
Yellowstone region, found by the Haydon
exploring party, be really IL 900 feet high,
as they estimate, it will be the fourth peak
in elevation on the continent of North
America, and the highest mountain in the
United States, excluding Alaska. Hereto.
fore the highest peak in this country was
supposed to be Big Horn mountain, which
is elevated 5000 feet.

WINNIE REAM has not gone to Vienna.
She has remained at Washington during
the summer, very sensibly preferring her
own pleasant home, rendered exquisitely
beautiful by the gems of art which she has
gathered there, to the splendors of the
European capital. Her family consists of
father, mother, widowed sister and child.
This little circle she provides for by her
her own labor, and makes Ihappy with her
sunny smiles and affectionate care.
She is working industriously upon q
mounted statue Of General Thomas. She
has just finished bust of Ezra Cornell, of
New York.
Winnie Ream is not only radiant
genius, but she is true-hearted and
noble American woman, of whom the
country ought to be proud.
She possesses that rare union of in
spiration and industry which work reso-
lutely and persistently. She has also a
cheerful courage, which is not daunted by
obstacles nor embittered by temporary
failure or the mean opposition of envy,
jealousy and prejudice, which has too
often been shown towards her. She will
yet reap the full reward Of her patient
toll and devotion to her glorious art in a
general recognition of her great powers.

The last of am Old Mnn-of.war.

The old unfinished ship Of the line,
Virginia, at the Charlestown navy yard, is
to be at once demolished. She has been
on the stocks. in one of the ship houses in
the lower part of the yard for half CEN
tury, her keel having been laid in 1921.
Her keel is 1856 feet long, her spar deck
2l0 feet, and extreme breadth 54 feet.
She is built Of live oak. She was intended
to be a tirst-class ship, and to
carry "a guns and 200 men. The ship
house which she occupies was built for her.
but is now wanted as place for the con-
struction of one of the frigates recently
ordered by Congress. The old ship was
to be built under an appropriation for the
gradual increase of the navy, which was
made soon after the cessation of hostilities
in 1912. Tho Vermont, the Cumberland,
sunk by the rebel ram Merrimac during
the rebellion, the Sabine and Potomac,
sister ships of the Virginia, were built un-
der the same appropriation. The Virginia
is sound in every respect and is copper
bolted up to the water mark. There is no
document at the navy-yard showing her
cost. The estimated cost of putting her
in readiness to launch is $50, 900.
The estimated cost of her de-
molition is 100000. A number of old
navy officers at the station regret that she
is to be torn to pieces, being of the opin.
ion that she would make fine receiving
ship, to take the place Of the Ohio, which
il quite out of repair. Others hold thai
she is unfit for service, and should be pui
out of the way to make room for the CON
struction of modern frigates. The order

AN EX-MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY
AND PRESENT MEMBER OF THE BAR
SENT TO JAIL.-The honorable ex-Judge
George Dabney Wooton, member of the
several Richmond bars, was up before the
police court this morning on the grave
charge Of being drunk and insulting a
lady. As the judge has frequently appeared
at this bench under charges of inebriation,
and has always had mercy tempered with
justice, but it seems it has availed him
aught, this time he was required to
practice at the bar for the next thirty days
at the little house around the corner,
situated at the foot of Jail alley and
Marshall streets.
