OUR NAVY DURING The WAR.
One Of the Marvois Of the Age-Monsy
Value Of Its Captures.

One Of the Marvois of the Age-Monsy
Value Of Its Captures.
The growth Of our navy was one OF
the marvels of the age. It cost the gov
eminent, in round numbers, $4S0, 200, 900,
or $i2O, 600, 900 for each year Of the war,
1000, 900 per month, or nearly third
of a million dollars for every day of the
war.
1t employed over 600 vessels of wal
and over 30. 200 men, which force greatly
exceeded that Of any other nation in the
world.
1t guarded over 1000 miles Of coast,
including bays, rivers, ETC., effectually
preventing the importation of arms and
munitions of war, and 80 compelling the
earlier exhaustion Of the Confederate
forces.
1t captured the immense number of
1895 blockade-runners, many of which
were fine steamers a ratio of nearly 800
captures per annum, or almost one each
day during the entire war. The money
value of its captures was at least $50,
$1,000, or S15,OO0,00 worth for each
year of the war and 81, 100000 in value
for each month of the war from first :,
last.
It co-operated with the army wherevei
there was water enough to float a gun
boat, while on the high seas our navy
covered itself with glory. The river
work of the navy on the Potomac, the
York, the James and the Mississippi,
with its branches, the coast-line work
from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi,
and its work on the high seas totally
eclipse in martial valor and brilliant sue
cesses all other naval achievements OF
the world. While history records
the names of Fort Henry, Fort
Donelson, Island No. 10, Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, Fort jackson, Fort st.
Philip, Fort Sumter, Charleston harbor,
Mobile bay, Hatteras inlet, New Orleans,
Port Royal and Fort Fisher, and a score
more of such famous names, the Ameri.
can navy will be universally honored
while such deeds as the sinking of the
Alabama in square naval battle will evel
be named among the most brilliant
victories of the age.
1t opened the harbors by the perilous
work of removing Instructions, torpedoes
ETC., and by utterly destroying the hostile
batteries which commanded them. II
held in check the hostile elements OF
many city and rural section while 9
dreaded gunboat quietly lay before it; in
short, il displayed heroism of the noblesi
type and made our reputation on the
seas equal that Of any nation.-Admiral

Singers Do Not Trust to Luck

Adelina Patti sang q new song, called
Darling Nine" in London recently
with extraordinary effect. The author
of the song relates that after having
tried it over and over again some time
ago, she sang It on the morning of the
concert four times through, and in the
artists room, before going on the stage
she studied every note and foritura, as Il
her fame depended on the performance
She then turned around and asked him
~Etes-vous content3"-are you satisfied
Thus it is that great singers do not trust
TO luck. Times. Srl -tt

The Famou. Chinese Rice Paper.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from fibrous matter re-
duced TO pulp. Now each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The eel.
ebrated Chinese rice paper, that SO re-
sembles wooden and silk fabrics, and on
which are painted quaint birds and flow
ers, is manufactured from compressed
pith, which is cut spirally by keen
knife into thin slices six inches wide and
twice as long. Funeral papers, or paper

desire to bestow on departed friends, are

Experiences of an Observing TrayeIer

Experiences OF An Observing Traveller
Along the Pacific Coast and Through
the Intervening Region.
Il. Il. Smith, who has recently returned
from o summer visit to Washington
territory, to-day gave a Press and Dsao-
taian man an extended account OF that
country and its resources, as they ap
peared to him. Mr.. Smith made the trip
FROM st. Paul westward on the Northern
Pacific, through Dakota Montana, Idaho,
part of Oregon and through Washington
territory, to the Pacific coast, and he has
carefully looked over all The country
through which he passed. So his YER
dict on those sections, compared with
southeastern Dakota, is a just one. He
says that with the exception of a few
plaoesIin Washington territory he would
not exchange u acre of 9ankton conn
ty land for any fifteen that he saw.
However. each section has its redeeming
features and Mr., Smith did not forget
to mention them.
OF north Dakota he says that wheat ls
its great staple, but that fact Is we'll
known.
OF Montana and Idaho, he says that
they are only fit for cattle raising and
mining.
Regarding Washington territory be is
better pleased and his description OF that
country is such as would give many
people the far west fever.
In answer to our inquiries
concerning the towns of the far west he
stated that Seattle, w. L, contained
about 10000 ~people-that it was lighted
by electricity-that street cars carried
the foot sore for a nickie a head and that
q high school building costing 500, 900
was there located. Also that churches
and good society abound and the mer-
chants and business men are enterpris-
ing end thrifty, and the town was gen
orally a pushing business centre.
OF the rural districts our traveller had
much to say. Lumber and mining and
fishing and hop and fruit raising are the
plluCIpai puSilSSS l1LtEBStb, us CIlllhlt
is more salubrious, apparently, than that
of this section of Dakota and while the
seasons are neither cold nor warm, the
winter is the most disagreeable, as rain,
snow and mud is at that season a preya-
lent conglomeration. But the summer,
from Mr.. Smiths description, we should
think was most delightful.
In his absence he has worn clothing
such as is comfortable nowadays in
Yankton all the time and has not felt it
uncomfortable. His daughter, Miss
Martha; who ACCOMPANIED him. has
taken a piece of land of 100 acres in
Challan county, w. T., and will remain
thereon until the law allows her to claim
it as her own. Mr.. Smith has travelled
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean
straight across the continent, has been
a c ose observer of all surroundings
and has made canoe voyages on the dark
blue sea. He is now content to return
to Yankton more than satisfied with his
| home,

a POISONED CHILD
Mrs. AlniS, MatrOn of the Ansan Asy-
ium Called Away on n sad Errand

Mrs. AlmS, MatEOn OF the Insane Asy-
Ium Called Away III n sad Errand.
Mrs- Amy, matron of the insane asy-
lum, was called to Sioux City last week
by the sudden death of her grandchild,
a son of Mrs. E. FL. Turner, OF
Sioux City, who is Mrs. Almy's daugh-
ter. The Sioux City journal tells the
lamentable story:
One of those particularly sad occur
rences, the blame for which caunct be
placed on any Que, occurred yesterday at
the residence of l.. IL. Turner, No. 1902
jackson street. Monday evening some
pieces OF cheese were sprinkled with
arsenic and placed on the floor of the
dining ROOM, which is in the basement,
for the purpose of killing rats that were
committing rayages. Mrs. Turner u
toned the servant girl to remove the
cheese in the morning before the child
rem came down, but this was neglected.
The mother dressed the two older child
rem and sent them down to breakfast a
short time before she went,
and the little fellow picked up a
piece of the poisoned cheese and nte n
part of it unobserved. The family
gathered at the table. little Georgia oc-
cupying his high-chair as usual, and iu
the midst of the meal was taken
with violent spasms, clutching his
throat wildly. and evidently suffering
great pain. A piece of the cheese was
found in his hand, and the fact flashed
upon the parents that the little one was
suffering from poison. The father at
once went after a physician, but before
the arrival of medical aid, the little
fellow was dead. While he was struggling
in the commissions he bit his mothers
finger, and the hand soon swelled up and
became very painful. Capt. Lothrop,
who was called 10, was also bitten, but
he at once made a slight cut near the
wound and sucked the poisoned blood
preventing the poison from acting.

over the presence of his son, and the
mother is likewise happy.
Our heaviest stock growers state that
they will join next year in az effort for
the grandest fair ever held In Dakota.
They did not participate this year, but
are ready hereafter to participate. If the
stock growers, the farmers, the manu-
facturers, the merchants and the ladies
will unite IN the effort Yankton can be
made the scene of g frst.clasa exhlbj-
ton.
Although the people OF this section
have not, perhaps, been aware of the fact
a large number OF eastern folks took
advantage of the harvest excursion rates
given by both railroads, and have visited
this section, which has been this much
benefited by the excursions. Yan6ton
county will contain more population at
this time next year han it does nov
and ali because of these excursions.
Thomas j. Williams, the Douglas
avenue blacksmith who was kicked by o
horse two weeks ago, is out to-day for
the first time since Saturday, the 18th
inst. Mr. Williams put o bit of court
plaster on his nose when he was first
injured and continued work in his shop,
thinking that nothing serious had hap
pened, but he was obliged to go to bed
with his wound and has been at divers
times since in a serious condition.

That boring for water in the artesian
we'll hole OF Scotland is a useless and
fruitless task is now conceded by the
men who have been engaged in the work
for the past two months and tomorrow
the removal of the machinery from the
scene of operations will be commenced.
For more thar a month Messrs. Kari q
Richey have thought that this would be
the final result, because of the very slow
progress made by the drill. The drill
has pounded away in a granite bed all
the time, and further efforts are regarded
as useless. The machinery will be
moved either to q place south of Iyndall
or to Harrington, Nebraska, where a
we'll is to be put down to supply the
town with water.
