WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 19.-The
Secretary of the Navy has written let
ter to Representative Morrow, of Cali
fornia. thanking him for the informa-
ton regarding the metal in the bell Of the
new cruiser Charleston. Mr.. Morrow,
in his letter. informed the Secretary
that a few days before the casting Of
the bell the pattern-makera at the works
suggested that it would be a pity TO
use ordinary metal, and suggested that
each of the wOTkmen on the steamer
contribute ten cents in silver to enrich
the composition and give superior
ring to il.
The entire force. more than thou
sand. responded to man. The sum
realized amounted 10 about $3.50, nearly
all Of il in ten-ceut pieces. 1t was
placed in the crucible and mixed with
the other metal used in making the bell.
In concluding his letter the Secretary
saws There have been many costly
presents made TO ships Of the navy by
towns and persons, but there ID not one
that the Department values and sppre-
ciates more highly than this offering
from the workmen of the Charleston. y

horses would not lose one. The cham
pion Arab of the world was matched
against one Of the worst thoroughbreds

about five stone more than the pride of
the east, and won by quarter Of mile.

strongest and most courageous horse
known to the world, and we cannot

When Perfection Brings Profit.

Horse racing In itself. is neither de-
grading nor anything else that is bad; q
race is beautiful and exhilarating spec
tacle, and quiet men, who never bet, are
taken out of themselves in q delightful
fashion when the exquisite thorough
breds thunder past. No sensible man
supposes for moment that owners and
trainers have any deliberate intention OF
improving the breed of horses, but, never
theless. these splendid tests OF speed and
endurance undoubtedly tend indirectly
to produce fine breed, and that is worth
taking into account. The survival Of the
fittest is the law that governs racing
studs; the thought and observation OF
clever men are constantly exercised with
