contract the currency when IL was TO their

THE LONG-LOST HUSBAND
Gives Out the Impression that He is
Drowned.

Special to the GLOBE.
NEW YORK, March s.-Mrs. Charles II.
Birk of New York, was informed on Sat
urday that her long-lost husband was alive
and in Chicago. She had been making
preparations to get the money on his life
insurance policy, and it is said she will
now sue for divorce. Birk was liquor
salesman employed by George Randall of.
New York to make monthly circuits throughs
New Jersey. On July 2S, 1885, he was in
Ashburv Park, and after giving his watch
and papers to hotel clerk, he announced his
intention of taking a bath. His clothes
and torn newspaper was found in one of
the bathing houses three days later, and it
was believed that he had been swept out TO
sea. Among the papers he left was an in
surance policy executed day OF two before
his disappearance. Mr.. Randall and the
Ashbury Park authorities came to the con-
clusion that Birk had been drowned. The
insurance company was finally convinced
that he was dead. and it began to negotiate
a settlement with his wife. The fact that
he is alive came out in this way: He wrote
to Newark friend early last week, and
asked for a recommendation so that he
could secure a place in Chicago. He said
that he had committed a very foolish act
and was sorry for il. He added that he
was going to lead a new and righteous life
in the West, and hoped soon to be able to
face the world again.

Blanchard of Louisiana, rising TO a question
OF privilege, had read an extract from the

THE NORFOLK NAVY YARD.
Commodore TruNtOn Takes the
wind out OF BOuIelIe's Sails.

The secretary of the navy in reply to the
resolution of Mr.. Boutelle regarding the
removal Of inscriptions at the Norfolk navy
yard. transmitted to the house letter from
Commodore TruXton. commandant of the
yard. in which he says that there never
were any honorable inscriptions upon any
cannon captured by the United States and
placed in the yard Obliterated by his orders.
The Dry Dock, he says, was never de-
stroyed. The following inscription on the
pumping engine, Destroyed by the Rebels
in 1862; rebuilt by the United States gov
eminent in 1863" the cOmmandant says he
had removed. Mr.. Lyons, the former
superintendent of machinery, was not re-
moved for protesting against the removal of
the inscription referred to- but on account
OF his bitter partisanship and because his
personal character was Objectionable. Com
mandant TTuXton doubts the loyalty of
Lyons. The opinion is expressed that
there are more Union soldiers and
sailors employed in the yard to-
day than there were on the day
the present administration came into power.
II is stated that the cOlOTed freedman when
he had the same mechanical skill as the
white man was given the same opportunity
for employment. Three men were removed
from the yard for offensive partisanship,
and these removals the commodore said
were necessary because of a determination
to rid the yard of politics. Two of the
successors of the dismissed men served in
the Confederate army. but had superior
mechanical skill. The commodore con-
cludes his letter with the statement that he
has always, to the best of his Judgment
prevented politics from being the controlling
.IemenL in the navy yard.

gained full mile on Schock. At the end of
the first hour his score indicated eighteen
miles and three laps while SchOck only had
sixteen miles and six laps to his credit.
THE RIDING WAS WONDERFUL.
Even SchOck leads WoOdSide's first days
record in the former race, while WoOdside
has pulled out away in the lead. The most
wonderful feature. however, lies in the fact
that WOodside has again lowered his
record. Each man remained in the saddle
practically all day. WOOdside was off the
track only six minutes and SchOck only OF
long enough TO change from one wheel to
another. The wheels he rides are of a
new pattern-the Champion. There is a
slight difference in the saddles, one being
wider than the other. Scheck changes now
and then to get rest. He likes the machine
and praises it above any other, and has
covered more miles than was ever covered
in a siX-day race. WoOdSide has occasion
ally spurted, but SchOck has ridden at a
uniformly even pace. WOOdSide has
adopted different tactics. He studiOusly
and determinedly avoids pace making.
When he cries for the pole he shoots past
at his utmost speed and then spurts until a
full half-lap has been gained. Then he
lets up. During the entire day Weodside
continued to gain. He relies upon his
wonderful speed, while Schock will stick to
the saddle nearly the full twelve hours a
day if he finds it necessary in order to win.
Woodside made his twelve-hour record of
It's miles in IL hours, 81 minutes and Is
seconds. The cheering was tremendous.
Both men INDUCED in brilliant squirting.
and the excitement was at its height until
the finish. Each watched the other as a
cat would mouse, and when one bent over
his handles the other did, but it was not in
frequent that
sCHoCK PLAYED POSITION
by only pretending to squirt. 1t seemed to
be his desire 10 tire WOOdside out. The
last few miles, however, were ridden very
fast by both. When there were but fifteen
minutes more to ride. the cyciclists' train
ers appeared on the track and urged their
proteges TO their best. Around they flew
with amazing speed and the audience gen-
orally on their feet cheered WOodside, who
was the favOrite, owing to the
unprecedented score he made. AS
the bell rang, Woodside had made Isl
miles and lap and Schock's score stood
liz miles and laps. or lap less than IT3
In the dressing room Schock appeared the

result was that SchOck was not
forced to his utmost. and for that reason
the claim that nearly 1000 miles will be
covered during the week seems quite plausi-
bic. In the first race WOOdside took the
lead on the first day, covering IT'S miles as
against 16S miles made by SchOck. Henry
SchOck and Hank Seeley are the
