How Old Boats are blended.

In making !. vessel water tight q great
deal is left to oakum, but cracks such 81
would be left by using too small piece
Of lumber. never. The oakum must be
forced in tightly to be of service. The
old timbers replaced by new ones, the
caulking process then begins. This is
where the oakum is used. First opening
the seams between the planks and beams
with heavy steel tool. the workman
next takes long string of oakum, ana
with similar tool moves along. driving
in the oakum with a heavy live oak
mallet until he has reached the end.
Then he starts over again, and putting
on little more strength drives the
oakum in until it is completely hidden.
Where apparently there was not room
for thread there is a sixteenth of an
:nch of packed oakum, a guarantee
against leaking. This is covered with
white lead on the outside. Calking old
boats, the steel instruments drive out the
old packing in long strings, and by the
time the new oakum has been pushed in
fully the inside of the hold resembles the
under side of a lathed floor spread above
With hair plaster, just thin enough TO
drive through and thick enough to hang.

Honest Civil service Reformors.

The decision of Mr.. Foulkc, of Indiana
polls, and of Mr. Bonaparte, of Baltimore,
to vote and work for the election of Gen.
Harrison to the presidency indicates
doubtless the position nearly all the sim
cere civil service reformers win take In
this campaign. Both these gentlemen
have been conspicuous for their efforts to
bring about a reform of the spoils system
in politics. Four years ago they honestly
believed that the cause they had so much
ut heart would be best promoted by the
election of Mr. Cleveland, and they gave
him their support and votes and then
waited patiently and confidently for the
fulfllment OF the hopes they had based on
mis- plentiful promises of reform.
1t is hardly necessary to repeat the
weary and disgraceful story of Mr.. Cleve.
lands course in respect to the offices in
Maryland and Indiana which first discour-
aged and then compelled Mr.. Foulke and
Mr.. Bonaparte and their associates to
abandon all hope of reform at the hands
of the president. 1t was not n bad ap-
pointment here and there, which should
have been rectiiied as soon as attention
was called to it, that convinced these re-
formers that they had been deceived In
Mr.. Cleveland, but stubborn persistence
on his part In selecting bad men for Office
and contemptuous refusal to heed proofs
and circumstances. Three years and
half of civil service reform of this kind
was enough for these gentlemen, and they
have accordingly decided to drop Mr..
Cleveland and support candidate and
party that give promise of genuine re-
form.
The course these gentlemen have de-
cided to take this year will convince peo-
pie that they were sincere in 1884. Both
of them, we believe, are revenue reform
ers, but they look upon the spells system
as the more pressing question of tho two
and are not willing that their influence in
promoting it shall be lessened By the
charge of insincerity which could be
brought against them If they abandoned
It now and chung to Mr.. Cleveland, be-
cause he favored their revenue principles.
The contrast between tho attitude of
Messrs. Foullic and Bonaparte and those
men who seeded with them from the Re-
publican party in 1884. but who still adj
here to the Democracy, Is apparent to
every one. Tho devotion Of the first two
gentlemen and those who will stand with
them TO civil service reform will not be
doubted, but the others have irrctrievably
ruined their influence as reformcrs and
justified tho charge that their action four
years ago was simply cloak to cover
their hostility to the policy of protection.

Many People Burned to Death at New

NEW YORK, Aug. A. Seventeen people
were burned to death In a six-story brick
building In the rear OF 1877 Bowery. Six
more, burned so badly that they will prob.
ably die, were removed to various hospitals
The fire started on the first floor in the
apartment OF Emma Stevenson. the janitress
OF the building, and was caused by the ex-
plosion OF a kerosene oil stove. The build
ing burned belonged to Lawyer Abraham
Stern, who bought it six months ago. The
damage to the building is about $4,000, COW
cred by insurance. The loss on the stock of
clothing in the various apartments is estI-
mated at $4,000. 1t is believed that it was
not insured. The house in the rear of the
death-trap was badly burned, aud the Peo-
pies theatre was slightly damaged by fire
and water - ----- =.
