some OF the Records During Ihe
Last Fifteen Years.
"The record has been beaten" was
the word passed along the water front
among steamship men and ocean
travellers when they learned that the
Cunard steamship Etruria was off
Sandy Hook at noon on Saturday,
June 2. The record had been beaten
several times, not only by different
vessels, but the Etfuria had beaten her
own record more than once. The Etru-
ria left Queenstown just after lunch
on Sunday, May 81, and was off Sandy
Hook nearly two hours before lunch
ON Saturday, June q While the ap-
parent interval OF time was three
hours less than six days between the
two points, owing to the difference
in time of four minutes TO each de-
gree of longitude she had crossed, she
was actually six days one hour and
tifty-five minutes between the two
points, a span of 1854 marine miles.
Her average runs were All knots every
twenty-four hours, bat on one day,
the day previous to her arrival off
Sandy Hook, she made SOB knots,
This was at the rate of 81 knots an
hour, 2 124 feet each minute and 35
feet each second, and for the entire
run an average Of 10 6.10 knots an
hour.
Previous to this last unprecedented
trip OF the Etruria she was the bearer
OF the champion psnnant as the Queen
OF the Ocean," but the pennant had
alIernated between the Alaska, the
Arizona, the Aurania, the Oregon, the
Umbria and the Etruria. This how
ever, does not say that the steamers OF

equally fast, but as they sail between

1.-The average country mother IN
this county would consider it most
serious dereliction of duty to neglect
taking the first crop of hair cut from
the head of her child, and slowing it
away under the rock first touched by
her foot after the birth of the young
ster, for she firmly believes that this
will conduce to it's future good health,
and guarantee long life. She knows
that her mother did so in her case,
and the traditions Of the old folks
must not be forgotten or disbelieved.

pursued BY Sergt. Fitch and three men,
who overlook them, and they surrendered
without any resistance and were brought
prisoners into the garrison, and were shot
within one hour after without the benefit OF
a court martial by the order OF Mai. Wylls,
the most inhuman action that ever | saw.
Sergt Fitch received orders from the
major to put them all to death the moment
they overlook them, but being man Of feel

prettiest young soldiers in tho company and
surrendered without any trouble. For this
