ssshould get this subsidy is
not apparent. Why lake steamer
or schooner should get from $40, 900 to
$4,000 q year, while q coaster going
1000 to 5000 miles each trip should go
without, is another conundrum. The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
vessels running from New York to AS
pinwall, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, and from San Francisco to
China and Australia. The feet of
about six steamers on the Atlantic,
consisting of vessels of 2500 tons bur-
den each, travel 1000 miles each way
twice q month, or 4S00 miles per
month, and they would draw, at 80
cents per ton, $4,000 per month.
The Pacific Coast vessels would draw
twice as much, or $72, 900 per month,
and the China and Australian vessels
something like 100000 month.
The whole line would draw about
$500 900 per month-nearly $2,-
$4,000 a year. Add the
Cuban, South American and
the Pacific Coast Steamship lines to
the Sandwich Islands and British
Columbia, and more than twice as
much more is added. Why should
the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany's vessels that run from San
Francisco to Victoria, B. c., and
thence to Tacoma, W. T., get the
mileage, while the Galveston steam
ers, Of equal importance on the At
lantic seaboard, get no subsidy?
"The last thought advanced by
this gentleman was in regard to the
amount vessel would draw. Law
proposes that thirty cents per ton
should be paid fo~ ten years, and
three cents per ton for each succeed
ing year. Take a Pacific Mail steam
er, for instance, and see how much
would be paid for her by the Gov
ernment. She would draw for the
first ten years, $4,000 a year, or

CATS AS COuNTERBALANCES
Some Very curious Experiences
or Animals in Engines.

From t ne to time one hears of var
ious mishaps by which cats fall into
the path Of flywheels OF engines and
are carried round and round for hours
on the inside rim OF the wheel, and
generally the information concludes
with some observation upon the won
drous muscular power OF cats, enabling
them to hold their position for such q
time.
A dog in the engine-room of the
public station of the water works,
while looking through a slit in the
floor provided for the wheel, saw a
cat in the basement below. He at
tempted to spring upon her between
the spokes of the wheel, but was
caught and carried around on the in
side rim for number of revolutions.
On his release he would never enter
or approach the building again.
The engine tender OF one of the
large armories in Connecticut per.
ceived what he supposed to be a
piece of newspaper on the inside OF
the fy-wheel of the engine, and was
somewhat provoked that any one
should be so disorderly to throw a
paper in that way. But when the
mill was stopped at noon cat jumped
out, and, instead Of being afronted or
permanently terrified by the involun-
tary ride Of several hours. did not
g. ::.Scandon tie engine-room.
The engineer in a printing Office OF
one of the newspapers in Montreal
discovered, as he thought, large
piece of paper on the inner rim of the
fly-wheel, and at the expiration Of
five hours, when the engine was
stopped, cat jumped out. somewhat
demoralized, but not permanently
injured.
Instead of wondering how a cat
could hold on under such circum-
stances, an examination of the facts
will lead one to question why the
beast was not squeezed to death by
centrifugal force. Applying the form
ula, and assuming what appears tc
be the proper limit for tie radius oi
gyration for cat. shows that the
rim of the fly wheel of the engine
which was ten feet in diameter, re
volving fifty times minute, was SIC
times gravity, 80 that the cat was re-
ally pushed at all times with pres
sure Az times its own weight.
The physical result Of such ar
enormous pressure can best be con
ceived by considering its effects upor
a man weighing 175 pounds, whelt
this excess of external pressure woule
amount to 731 pounds, a weight which
few would care to sustain for a shor
rtime, and certainly none for hours

"That is, the Government would
have paid for the vessel at the end of
nineteen years, more than it cost the
company, and have given the use of
it to the company Free"
Mr.. E. B. Sampson, agent of the
Philadelphia line of steamers, said ::
~ believe it is not generally fair
principle to ask one class OF citizens
to pay the losses of another class.
There is great cry about the disap-
pearance of our ships from the sea.
But people do not realize how the
character of shipping is changing.
Sails can't compete with steam any
longer. Once all freighting for Phila-
delphia came by sail. Now
steam, either on the water or on
the rail, brings it. The square
rigged vessel is disappearing before
the great three-masted schooner that
sails more economically and carries as
much freight. While the list of
square-rigged ships is growing less,
the list of schooners is growing larger.
Those who talk of the deterioration OF
American shipping should think OF
this"
A shipping man was asked, "Would
not liberal subsidy produce a home
competition as disastrous as the for
eign competition now is?"
Certainly" was the answer: "We
would all 60 for that subsidy, and the
question would be, not will a line pay,
but will the subsidy cover the loss ?"

THE SINGULAR NUMBER SEVEN,
1t Has Played an DmpOrta mt Part
iu the History Of All Nations.

The number seven is one of the
most singular Of all the digits, and
the part that it plays in ancient, pop

to one who has never known the
facts. For instance, among the
Babylonians the god Of the number
seven received peculiar honor; and
when the Chaldean Noah had escaped
from the deluge, his first act was to
build an altar and set seven vessels on
as many fires. The famous Chaldean
witch had to be subdued by being
bound by cord tied with 7x7 magic
knots. And sick man had to be
annointed seven times with purifying
oil. In the Chaldean scriptures the
deluge lasted seven days, the gates to
Hades were seven in number, and

FROM HEAD TO TAIL.

The Hebrews IndOrse the Demo-
cratic Ticket--The Italians Will
Follow Suit.
A meeting of the recently organized
Hebrew Independent Political club was
held yesterday afternoon in the munich
pal court room. The attendance was
so great that fully one-half of those
present were compelled to remain
standing during the whole of the meet
ing. The president of the club, Simon
Jacob, was chairman of the meeting.
Harry Gallich opened the bali with
rousing speech in which he urged upon
of acting in harmony i'll order that the
purposes for which it was organized
might be the more easily carried out.
He was followed by Secretary Louis
Pavian, who spoke to the same effect, as
did Vice President o. Faukenhoff, who
delivered lengthy address in the jew
iSh tongue.
Harry Gallich, from the committee
appointed to made up list of candi-
dates for city offices for Endorsement by
the club, reported that in the opinion of
the committee the Democratic city
ticket is good enough for the Hebrews.
and that they should support 1t as
whole. Special stress was laid upon
the nominations of Mayor Smith and

Affairs On the Pacific Coast.


Affairs On the Pacific Coast.
Senator Marcus johnson, of Atwater,
was in st. Paul yesterday looking hale
and hearty after his winter on the Pa
cific coast. He has rooms at the Mer-
chants. 'sWe watched the weather re-
ports pretty closely while we were
wearing our light overcoats in
Frisco" said he to GLOBE reporter,

were were not catching all the cold
weather that has come to Minnesota.
While on the coast | looked into the

wonderful at Los Angeles. The Duluth
and Ashland beoms do not compare
with it. Property has been sold for
nearly $4,000 a front foot. Somebody will

could not last. While ON the coast /

the region is tapped by railroad there
will be an almost inexhaustible supply.

that while he was not thoroughly in

he could judge Albert Scheffer's

siderable figure. He said he thought

AN AUDIENCE OF THOUSANDS.

Every Inch OF Floor Space ia Mar
ket Hall Occupied in the Even
ing.
The appearance of the hall in the
evening may be aptly expressed by the
word damned" Every seat and inch
of standing room was occupied, and
many were unable to gain entrance at
all. The exercises began with the sing
ing of two hymns, followed by prayer
by Dr. Dana.
DR.. Munhall, advancing to the edge of
the stage, said:
''We will sing hymn, and when it
begins ] wish every one standing near
a window would raise it and close it
Immediately at the conclusion of the
first verse. Thus we will get air into
the room and none will take cold"
The windows went up, and they
dropped again simultaneously.
Rev. DIR. Munhall announced that he
had not come to ST. Paul to cause SEN
Sations, but merely to teach the word of
God in simple, straightforward, bust
ness-lille manner. His address was on
the Bible, and he drew many contrasts
to show that God was really the author.
His contrasts with books written by
men were nicely drawn and apparently
convincing, "a good man wouldn't
have written the book, for it contains
the assertion 5000 times that it is the
work of God. The man would then be
a liar, consequently not good man.
The bad man would not have written it,
for it tells him what he is. There
is no book in all the libraries
of the. world that can compare
with the Bible. You see also in the
books written by men much poetry. In
any of these books is there. anything to
compare with Dayid's lament over Saul?
OF course every one is familiar with the
story Of the whale swallowing Jonah.

"One-Eyed' Cook, Alleged Rob-

Der of the Minneapolis Postoffic e,
Brought Here From Detroit.
United States Marshal Galusha Pen
nell. of Detroit, Mich, arrived in st.
Paul yesterday, having in charge
Charles Cook, better known as Zone
Eyed" Cook, who is wanted for COM
plicity with ''Bobby" Adams and
''Billy" O'Connor in the robbery
of the Minneapolis poStOffice
two years ago. Cook was arrested i'll
Detroit last week, having, as he claims,
been living there for over a year, work
ing at his trade as distiller. He was
placed in durance at the county jail,
where he was seen by GLOBE reporter
last night. When asked whether he
would plead guilty he said he
did not know, as he had
not yet consulted an attorney.
Cook admits that he was in Minneapo-
lis at the time of the robbery. The
dence fixing the robbery upon any one
until bobby Adams, who is now
serving five-year sentence in the
Joliet, Ill, pc itentiary, peached on his
companions. Presumably to gain his
own freedom. The story of the trial
of Chilly" O'Connor in this city
last fall, when the jury after listening
to the evidence of Adams, agreed to dis
agree and the escape of O'COnnor from
the county jail a month ago, are known
to the public. The evidence against
Cook is said to be stronger than against
O'Connor, the officers being unable to
prove except by Adams that O'Connor
had ever been in Minneapolis.
