TuE letter OF Secretary Whitney to
Representative Witthorue in favor of
an auxiliary nav reserve, will commend
itself to the good Judgment of the Amer
lean people. England, by the expenditure
of the moderate sum of $4,000 900 per
annum, maintains an auxiliary naval
force twice a. large as the American navy
With propariouu,e outlay the United
Ssat,s could secure an effective militia of
the seas from uur coasters that now hy

why merchant vessels hereafter built
should not be constructed with a view to
their fitness for use As crniserS i'll tho
event of war, and be held subject to the
demands of the Government, 50 that any
call to conflict ON the ocean may bt re-
sponded to, not by utterly unframed men
snd unsuitable ships, but by vessels fit {

manned by seamen Instructed in the ele-
ments of naval tactics aud gunner. Mr.
Whitney particularly directs attention to
two i'm mportant reaso,s why naval re-
serveis now more necessary than former
ly. They are the changes in implements
OF war and in the management of vessels
which call for technical instruction in
gunpery and steam engineering, aud the
speed and power of modern navies, which
would facilitate 4 concentration in few
weeks that formerly could only have been
effected after months of effort If we
should be involved in wac with European
or South American power, q naval reserve
of merchant vessels ready for instant
conversion into cruisers would be of in

AFAMILY ROMANCE In REAL LIFE.

Reunited After Half Il Century OF Adventures
The reunion after so years of George
Ryer5on, perhaps the oldest pioneer III
America, and his daughter, Mrs. G. G.
SRurter, of Newburg, N. Y, is one of
those events which are not often met
with outside of story books. Mr.. Ryer-
son left his family in 1885, while living
in New Jersey, and went TO Florida,
where he was reported killed III a battle
with the Seminoles. He returned, how
ever, only to find that his family had
moved away. He pushed out into the far
West and was lost sight of. The son
went west during the gold fever, and as
in time his letters ceased, the mother and
daughter also mourned him as dead.
Soon afterward the mother died and the
daughter married. Many years passed
and the daughter, Clara, now a middle
aged woman, read an item in a paper
about Martin RyersOn, a Chicago million
aire. knowing that her father had q
brother by that name, she wrote TO him
and established his identity as her uncle.
Shortly afterward Martin Ryerson, while
travelling on the Pacific coast heard of
GOV. George RyersOn of Lower CalIfor-
MIA. He visited the Governor and found
the long lost nephew. Gov. Ryerson on
learning that his sister WAS still living
made an effort to find her, but she had in
the meantime, moved. During these
years the elder Ryerson stil lived. After
wandering through the mining camps of
California, Arizona and Ne7ada, he finally
settled down in Nevada, whsre he lived a
hermit sort of life. Several years ago
he found, in an old newspaper, an item
about Gov. George Ryerson of Lower
California. Like his brother he visited
the governor and found hE son. When
he learned that his daughter still lived he
came east and spent some time vainly
searching for her. He finally returned to
Chicago to live with his brother. The
daughter during these years had been
living on small farm just west of New
burg, n. Y. A short time ago Martin
Ryerson died, and a paragraph in a New
burg paper setting forth lis public be-
quests fell into Mrs. Shutters hands.
She at once wrote to her cousin, who in
formed her that her fatfer had been
found. This was April 4. The next day
she set out for Chicago, where a family
reunion took place, and the old man re-
turned last week with his dIughter to her
Newburg home. Mr.. RyeEon has had an
interesting career. He crossed the plains
with Kit Carson, roughed IL 1T with John
Marshall, the discoverer of gold in the
Sacramento valley, and worked a claim
with John A. Crabtree, father of the &C
tress Iotta.

THE 10Y. HOUSES OF JAPAN
Little Structures That Are Easily Made and
Quickly Destroyed.

Little Structures That Are Easily Made and
Quickly Destroyed.
St Louis GIooe-Deutocfet.
The Japanese get their share of ad-
ventures by fiooos, although their diSas-
ters III the rainiest season are small
things compared with the recent hood IN
China, where the Yellow river burst its
banks, drowned 100000 people, aud rem
dered unInhabitable the valley where .
100000 people lived. The big figures In
Japanese records of disasters are III CON
nectIoa with fires. Ii this season of co. d
winds the sky is Illuminated every
night with the glow of great
coufagratlon either in Yokohama
or IN Toxic, and If the japanese were not
used to it such continued affections might
be taken for a visitation of Providence.
The tllmsy little wooden houses with
their st:aw mats, are kindiings for fire,
and when lamp explodes, brazier up
sets, or a sp0rk fl es the whole house Is In
flames in an instant. Without anything
of breeze to favor 1t the flames leap
from house to house, and soon a whole
quarter is blazing. Each time burned
district is rebuilt the streets are wldeneo,
and the measure has prevented many
worse confagrations following. Widen
ing the streets has been ruinous to pic
turesqueness, and the broad thorough
fares lined with low houses of unpointed
wood make the streets of a modern Jap
anese city monotonous and uninterest'
ing to the eye.
Japanese houses are toys in size and
toys III construction, resting on corner
posts set on large rocks, that they may
give and sway with earthquakes, and held
IN place and made stable by the heavy
roofs of mud and tiles. The only way of
stemmiDg fire is tearing down the
houses III advance of the flames, and it is
done as easily as a child knocks over
house of blocks or cards. 4 rope is fast
ened tc one of the upright corner posts,
the crowd gives one pull, and there is Il
crash and clouo of dust as the shell of
mud and tiles falls upon the flmsy dwell
my. A thached roof or a shingle roof
drops quite as easily. The ordinary
house or saop gin towns seldom exceeds
twelve feet Ia frontage, and If there is
second story 1t is quite as much in minia-
ture and the roof not more than fifteen
feet from the ground 1t sounds fright
ful to hear of five hundred or thousand
houses burned II night, but with these
litllputian dwellings, and their microscop-
&c landscape gardens back of them, the
area need not be more than that of two
or four small city blocks.

The figure which Norris followed moved
rapidly, though with the uncertain, falter-
ing step of either weakness or age. Once
or twice the man glanced back furtiyely,
then, seeming to take the alarm, turned a
corner hurriedly, disappearing for the mo-
ment from his pursuer.
When Norris reached the spot where he
had disappeared he could see nothing OF
him, but hack was just turning from the
curb, little further on, and he thought he
caught glimpse of o thin profile within it.
He broke almost into run at that, looking
anxiously for another carriage, but before
he found one he brought up with sudden
force against a gentleman who planted him
self directly in his way.
