The charge published in the Sentinel yester

from the Republican clerks in the federal build

carrying some checks in his hand and their
laughinely asking him to contribute one to de-
fray Republican campaign expenses. Mr..
Hawkins afterwards repeated what had been

OUR NAVY.

The Recent Drill at Pensacola Demon
straies That We Have an Efficient Naval
Brigade; And When That Is Said, Nearly
All Is Said-Maneuvering at speed a
Dutch Lugger Would Laugh At.
New YORK, June Zone Of the off,
GERS of the Tennessee, in speaking of the
recent naval drill at Pensacola, said to a
Tribune reporter: zone thing was salts
factorily demonstrated, and that was that
an efficient naval brigade is all that is lett
the navy that would be effective in
modern warfare. The torpedo
experiments demonstrated conclu-
sively that the Spar tor
pedocs, as at present used, are worse
than useless. We had ten days. en-.
campmcnt Gu shore and the brigade was
so organized that each ship had a COM
pletc battalion of rifemen and artillery.
Should one or more ships be Withdrawn
the force would be weakened, but its or
ganization would not be disturbed. In the
drills and mancuvcrs on shore and in
landing, the whole thing worked to a
charm. The soldiers and marines did
splcndidly. We landed at Magnolia Bluff,
the landing party being maneuvered from
the Tennessee. The boats containing the
skirmishcrs and gatlings plunged ahead
rapidly until aground. The men then
jumped into the water and rushed
ashore They deployed as skirmishers
and advanced, firing so as to give
room on the beach for the landing and
formation of the main body in the rear.
The artillery, which had been firing over
the heads of the skirmishers, ceased fir
ing as soon as the main body landed.
Everything worked beautifully. The
target practice and drills in camp were
also excellent Captain Boyd command
ed the brigade, with Lieutenant Calla-
han us Adjutant. Then we had steam
tactics They went off well enough,
but we had to be awfully slow
about them, for we soon discovered that
six knots was too high speed for the
lantiC. We had two days torpedo prac-
tcc In all the vessels the speed had to
be so much reduced when the torpedo
booms were lowered that in actual war
we would have been in a bad fix. Then
the fittings of the torpedo boOms were
poor and the style of the tOrpedoes far
from effective. There was especial
difficulty in operating the Spar torpe-
does from vessels like the Tennessee.
In the torpedo attack on the feet by the
boats, the noise made by the steam
launches and pulling boats was so
great that warning was given of their
approach, and the ships had time to get
their machine guns in operation, and the
whole thing was fizzle. The ships are
not provided with search lights or eff
fectiyc means of repelling proper tor
pedo attack. On the other hand, the
boats we have are OF no use as torpedo
boats. The whole result of the torpedo
drill was disheartening.

THE BLUE RIBBON.

Francis Murphy's Premium AS a Temper
ance Apostle--A Bride-EIect the Heiress
of Millionaire Manufactures.
PITTsBUEd, Pa, June lit is stated
on good authority that Francis Murphy,
the Temperance apostle, will soon take q
second wife in the person of handsome
and cultured lady of New Castle, Penn
sylvania. The acquaintance between the
two commenced about five years ago,
when Mr.. Murphy was conducting tenn
perance meetings in that part of the
State. The lady at THAT time was en-
gagged to be married to a young jeweler,
and when Mr.. Murphy learned of this, he
withdrew and went to Europe. His
European tour ended at last, however,
and he again met his fate. The lady is
a daughter of millionaire manufacturer,
and has enough railroad and other stocks
to leave each of his three children hand
some fortune.
The lady's father, who is one of the
hard, practical, commonsense men, did
not take kindly to Mr.. Murphy, and made
him understand that his visits were un-
welcome. However, the blue rlobon ad-
vocate continued to meet the fair one at
the house of near relative. The engage
ment with the jeweler has been broken
off, the father has been placated and ar
rangements made for the wedding, which,
it is understood, will take place the latter
part of this month, and be on a scale OF
great magniticence.

old men employed by the board of pub

inc their cold bite on the curbstone at

of them handed a portion of news

"Read me about the game of base

The other took the paper, located the
account of the game and read:
"Getzein's work in the box has sell

.In the box? What did they have a
man in box for? If man in box
can play base ball then a man in chair

AT FOREST HILL.

Day studying the Beauties and Prospec-

Home.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE President
and Mrs. Cleveland drove out to Forest
Hill yesterday afternoon, and spent sew
eral hours studying the beauties of Mr..
ClcvelaDd's purchase. Mrs. HOyt and
the architect of the contemplated i'm
provements at the cottage had preceded
them, and when the latter reached the
spot they found all the plans and speci-
hcations spread out on the piazza for
their convenience. Mrs. Cleveland quick
ly left the details of the improvements to
her husband, and with Mrs. HOyt made a
thorough exploration of the surrounding
grounds.
Several persons recognized the Presi-
dents equipage from the TennallytOwn
road, and attempted to obtain admittance
to the grounds, but Policeman Meyers
was too vigilant, andprOmptly warned all
treSSpasSprs to keep off the grounds.
Arrangements had been made for serving
dinner at the house, and as there was no
necessity for returning to the White
House until late in the evening the stone
house was not deserted until some time
after inset, the return trip being made
by way OF the Rock Greek and Pierce
Mills road.
Few persons knew of the contemplated
trip, and there was neither bother nor
molestatiOn by curiosity seekers during
the drive.
Secretary Bayard, who was out for a
horseback ride, learned of the presence
of the President at the country place soon
after he had passed, and he Immediately
cantcred his horse back and paid his re-
spectS to the party.

We thank our good friend "Her-
cules" for his good article on the
work we are trying to do here in
this part of Tennessee. IT. we
could still have a larger subscrip-
tion list and better support from
the business men of Blount COun-
ty In the way of advertising and
job work, we could make it even
much better than it is; we could
then employ more help from exper-
fenced men in all walks of life and
be able to pay them for their work.
If all classes of men interested in
farming, education and the busi-
ness Interests of this part Of the
state would help us financially, we
would be able to pay it all back in
what the paper would do in bring
ing all interests up to a high state.
Will they make the effort for. us :?
Let US pull together and we will all
be benefited.

We publish in this issue call
from the chairman of the Republi-
can Executive Committee to meet
at the Court House in Maryville,
March 1st. Too much can not be
said in urging the members of
this Committee to be present and
make the meeting a success in
every respect. The organization
must be kept active and aggress-
i've. Every district in the county
needs vigor and new life infused
into 1t. The discipline enhances
love for the party, and is well worth
the trouble it costs. Loyal Blount
must be herself IN the coming cam
paign. Earnest work will be re-
quired. Good men must be selected,
and the most effective way to sus-
tain an irreproachable reputation
is for every man to be found at his
post. Prepare to vote your party
principles and there is no reason
why Blcunt can not help to gain a
substantial Republican victory all
along the line. Begin by preach
ing the true political gospel in our
county elections and then carry 1t
through the State elections with a
shout.

Our Colored Friends.

At the I'd Presbyterian Church,
on last Sunday night, assembled a
large audience of colOred folks and
white. A number of the w. G. T.
U. ladies were present and assisted
the colored folks in organizing
temperance union, and a Band of
Hope for the young folks. Short
talks were made by some of the
ladies, to which the audience was
attentive. We hope the colOred
ladies, through their temperance
union, will be instrumental in do
ing vast amount Of good among
the colored people, and thus we will
all work together for the right.
