ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE PErREL.-On his
return from New York Secretary Tracy will find
awaiting him an official recommendation from
the board of officers that witnessed the two
official trials of the gun-boat Petrol at Balti-
more, favoring another chance for the vessel to
show her capabilities. The trial of Saturday
was failure. but the circumstances connected
with it are such that Secretary Tracy will grant
the recommendation of the board. The failure
is attributed to the fremen in the engine-room,
most of whom were inexperienced. Some of
them had worked during the trip of last Thurs
day and soon became exhausted on Saturday.
A short trip to test the efficiency of the firemen
will be held in the near future in order that
only good men shall be selected for the official
trial A member of the board that witnessed
the two trials said to-day that he thought the
Petrol would make successful trip il given
another chance

Petroleum, which has been used for
some time in connection with raising
steam, is now rapidly coming into
vogue. for hoating, melting and the
working OF metals. For these pur-
poses some other medium besides
steam must he resorled 10 for breaking
up the oil, and after devices without
number have been tried, the use Of air
under more or less pressure remains
the most satisfactory. BY this means
wagon tires one-balf 10 one and half

car axles, which with coal required
one hour and a quarter 10 heat, arc
heated in thirty Eve minutes At one
furnace alone the saving by tho use

another company puts rs saving in

advantages Of this mode Of healing Is
the effect produced on the metal oper-
ated upon, which comes out improved
by the process. 1t works softer under

com, on the Canadian river, and car
rying dispatches between that point
and Fort Stanton. on the Rio Pecos,
for six months, before the Comanches
called the turn on me. 1t is agreed
that an Apache is devil incarnate,
but in the old days there wasn'tmuch
choice between the tribes. All were
bloodthirsty and relentless, and it mat
tered little into whose hands prison
or might fall. Every torture which
ingenuity could suggest was certain
to be applied, and no ransom, how
ever great. could effect the release Of
prisoner. 1t was while engaged in
such an effort that my first capture
came about.
A party of citizens from Santa Ee
had come out to Fort Bascom for
hunt along the Canadian river to the
east. They were all well known men,
and were QUILTED in the finest style,
having the best of firearms, and being
accompanied by four hunters and
guides of long experience. The In
dams were bitterly hostile at this time,
and although seldom seen near the
fort, they were ever ON the watch for
any one leaving its shelter. This party
numbered twenty, all told, and was
strong enough to go anywhere. pro-
viding it was we'll handled. II left
the post one Sunday morning, and

days before reaching the post, all went

a man Of prominence, holding some
position under the government, and

MEMOIR.

Mr.. William Ziler, who was killed
on the B, & O. R. r., Aug. 3lst, 1889,
was born Dec. Goth, 1880. He has left
a wife and six young children to
mourn his loss. The oldest of the
children is but thirteen years old
and the youngest two years old. AS
a citizen Mr.. Ziler was a thorough
gentleman of character above re-
proach. AS an employee of the B. &
o. r. R., he was a faithful servant, of
long standing. He regarded the in
terests of the railroad as his interest
and sought to do his best for the
company. To his fellows on the rail-
road, he was always kindly in word,
expression and deed. He was long a
member of the knights of Pythias,
and in connection with the Methodist
Episcopal services, he was buried
with the rites of the order. He was a
kind and good husband and father,
who ever sought to provide for the
household. They were his chief care.
His wife is a member of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church, and while Mr..
Ziler was not member of any church,
he was known as reader of the
Bible and a defender of it before
avowed skeptics. To one of the min.
listers of the town he said he was try
ing to be christian and to his wife
he stated, that while on the road to
himself, he spent his hours in prayer
For three years he was subscriber OF
the New York Christian Adrocate, the
chief official paper of the NJ. E
Church, and he read it through. Hi:

IT EVER HAS BEEN.

1t ever has been since Time began,
And ever will be till Time lose breath,
That love is mood, no more, to man,
And love to woman is life or death,
For her hope dies when loves sun sets,
For him hope sleeps till new day
dawn,
And she remembers, and he forgets,
While the world rolls on, while the
world rolls on.
1t is woman who sits with her starved
desire,
And drinks to passion in cups of tears;
She reads by the light of her heart on
fire
The secret of love through lonely years.
But out of all she has felt or heard,
Or read by the glow of her soul s white
flame,
If she dares but utter aloud one word,
How the world cries "shamel !" how
the world cries Shame 20
Whatever man think or feel
He tells to the world and it hears
Alright,
But it bids the woman conceal, conceal,
= And woe for the thoughts which at last
ignite.
She may serve of gossip, or dwell on
fashion,
Or play the critic with speech unkind,
But alas for the woman who speaks with
passionl
For the world is blind, for the world
is blind
1t cannot distinguish between the glow
OF cleaning star in the sky of gold
And spent cigar in the dust below
'Twixt unclad Eve and wanton bold !;
And ever. if woman speaks what she
feels,
And feels consistent with God s great
plan,
1t has cast her under its Juggernaut's
wheels,
Since the world began, since the world
began.
