IN MENIORIAM.


In Memory of
LITTLE MARY CELESTIA SMITH.
Mamie, darling, oh, how lone y
Is this tile home of ours,
Since God has called you up to heaven,
In that more beautiful home than ours.
And now miss her little voice,
Singing all the day;
miss her in her little night robe,
As she knelt down to pray.
But now she is ROBBED in purer white
Than all this world we see,
And while she sings at the pearly gate,
She is watching and waiting for me.
II title chair is empty now,
Her little clothes laid by;
A mothers hope, fat. er's Joy,
In deaths cold arms doth lie
And where is my girls | ask with surprise,
Whose heart was brimfull OF glee;
My darling in the graveyard lies,
She ii never come back to me.
The face may glow with gladness,
Gentle be the voice and low,
While the heart within that breast
Is bowed by grief and woe.
But my darling will live forevermore,
My tears will not always flow;
/ shall meet her again on the shining shore
When this wearisome journey is Ger.
MAMMA.

Why the Astrolo2ers Confine Them
selves to Predicting the W Gather.
From the Ne,o York Sun.
The household OF the Emperor Of China
includes so umbrella bearers and - astrol
ogers. The ast-ologers, who, correspond to
the signal service Bureau of this country,
predict every day the weather for the NOR
row, II they predict rain, the umbrella
bearers take a dag off. If they announce
fair weather, on the other hand, the UNI
brella bearers, maldarins Of the overshoe,
and macintosh men report at the pa ace at
$50 o'clock a. m. The Emperor II China
may be Heather Chinee, but he knows
and meteorologer.. AS an instance

J. M. GUFFEY'S VIEWS.

mans Doubts Are Based Upou.

He Does Not Think Lima OIL Can Compete
With Pennsylvauia-whaf the Gentle-
mans Doubts Are Based Upon.
J. NJ. Guffsy said when asked his opinion
of the oil sensation: 1--WE are not engaged
in the business of refining oil, and of course
do not know anything positively about it.
It is a wellknown fact, as The DISPATCH
has published time and again, that the
Standard Company has been purchasing
everything it could get its hands on in the
field. On account Of the poor results in re-
fning the oil many Of the people holding
land were glad to sell it for whatever they
could get. The Standard got the price so
low that the small holders had to sell to
them.
1.-THE object Of the company In buying up
all the field was continuance of the policy
of the Standard to get absolute control of
the territory. What they intend to do no
body knows but themselves. Whether they
will run o continuous pipe line from the
Pennsylvania to the Ohio fields I do not
know, but would not be surprised If they
would. You know that at present they
have q line from the Bradford field to Cleve-
land and one from the Lima district to Chi
cago. It would not be hard matter to
build line connecting the two from Lima
W OlCVcluuu, buuo giving euShA y LING NUN
Bradford to Chicago.
"fn regard as to whether the Ohio oil will
be formidable competitor Of the Penhsyl-
vania product I am unable to say. That
would be pretty hard question to answer,
but do not think the Pennsylvania oil
men need have any fears. You see the
trouble with the oil is that it Is deodorized
and costs too much to refine. We know
that It is full of sulphur, and consequently
cannot be good illuminating oil. To make
1t any kind of an illuminator is very ex-
pensfve, and the yield for the work is very
poor. When you put it alongside Pennsyl-
vania oil, and try to refine it, you will find
there Is not much in it.
''There are probably 80 processes for re-
firing the oil but none of them so far have
cut down the cost and made the yield any
greater than 1t was, so until this Is done it
will not be much OF q competitor. There
is not much chance for making the yield
any better for the reason that you cannot i'm
prove upon nature, It tisnot there and the In
trinsic value of the oil will be the same. If
the fumes of sulphur could be eradioated
something could be done. They have tried
to burn 1t out but when they did so the oil
lost its lubricating qualities.
Gas fuel, nothing much can be done
with 1t, until they find some means of tax
ing away the terrible odor."

THOSE PIPE ORDERS.
The Pennsylvania Company Got the Bulk Of
Freight and IL Now shipping 1t
A Significant Statement ,

Some Of the eight-inch pipe for the con-
struction of the pipe line is now being
shipped. There were 100 miles ordered al
together. Of this the Pennsylvania Tube
Company got the orders for 100 miles, the
National Tube Works, Of McKeesport, 60
miles and the other 80 miles were divided
between the American Tube and Iron Com
pany, of this city, and the Oil City Tube
Works.
To make this pipe Is. 900 tons of sheared
skelp iron was required. The order for the
iron was divided among half dozen firms in
this city. The old Graft Bennett mill at
Mil1vale, which was started up last week,
got large slice off the order.
The pipe order was a boom to the mills
here. The reason the Pennsylvania Com
pany got the bulk of the order was on ac-
count of Captain vandergrift being so
heavily interested in the company and in
the National Transit Company or the United
Pipe Lines. The total cost Of the pipe will
be about 1.000, ,000 It is worth between
q, 800 and 81, 900, and will average about 70
tons to the mile.
The pipe being made by the Pennsyl-
vania Company will be shipped to Mantria,
Garrettsville, Hiram, Mahoning and Pha-
lanx, D. The National company will ship
theirs to Tiffn, Bellsville, Fostoria, Hatton,
Linden and Long1ey, o.
The freight men on the various roads re-
port that large quantities Of pipe have been
shipped lately to the Lima oil field for the
Standard Oil Company. It was currently
given out that the company was building a
pipe line to Chicago.
The Pennsylvania Tube Company, it is
said, got an order from the Standard few
months ago for 1,500, 900 feet of pipe
enough to lay nearly 800 miles Of pipe line.

DISC0URAGING IN THE EXTREME.
Sorry Outlook for the success Of Our New
Navy When Completed.

Navy When Completed.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Recent reports
of the tnaneuvers OF the British naval feet
contain some matter not, entirely reassuring
with respect to some Of our new naval YES
sells. In these maneuvers about six vessels
of the Archer type participated. The result
was disagreeable surprise to Sir William
Reed, the chief naval constructor of the
Admiralty. 1t was found that the vessels
pitched and rolled about to such an extent
in moderately heavy sea as to render them
very poor gun platforms, to use technical
expression, which means that the guns were
so unstable that they could not be directed
with any approach to accuracy Of fire.
They were also very wet ships. These de-
fects are supposed to result from the exces-
sive weight Of the ordnance, and 1t was rec
commended that the six-lnch rifles be re-
placed by ive-inch guns and the anchors
moved further apart. The significance of
this report to naval officers here lies in the
fact that the new gunboat Yorktown is pat
termed after the Archer, and will carry the
same caliber and weight of ordnance.
Failure has also attended the efforts of the
British constructors to build 20-knot ship,
of which the Navy Department here is at
GcmpblHS W Uullu bWO, uHueI al dcL Vi OOu-
gress. The "Meda,'" which was built for
20-knot ship, has never exceeded 10 knots,
but has developed more than the estimated
horse power, an indication to constructors
here that is not possible to drive vessel of
that length at 20 knots. The British au-
thorities have taken the same view, and
will build another set OF these boats, of
greater length. Other vessels Of the same
type have failed to develop anything like
the necessary 5000 horse power, so that the
bright.
