The aboue Picture Represents
CAPTAIN S. 0REENWOO D,
Master Of fhe Steamship KalaWha.


About a year ago he observed strange
change in his feelings. He felt tired In
stead OF vigorous; nervous instead of
strong. His appetite became poor and his
sleep broken. He tried to overcome these
feelings, but they would not go. He then
noticed pains and irritation in the water
channels and that the fluids passed were
often thick and with scum on top or q
brick-dust sediment at the bottom. All
these were the sure symptoms of that fear
ful disease, Catarrh of the bladder, which
has always been considered incurable, and
they continued until the Captain was In
terrible condition. But he Is the picture
Of health and yigor to-day, and he owes
II entirely to that wonderful medicine,
Hunts Remedy. Capt Greenwood says:

Hunts Remedy, that Away carry sup
ply on EhipbOard for the uses of my men
and prescribe 1t whenever they Rreailing.

Trade In skates.

A Mild Winter Does Not Utterly Blast the
Trade In skates.
"Oh yes; skates nre selling fairly well this
Winter, =" said n prominent dealer to an EVEN
ING WORLD young man.
You see. people argue that it's Winter,
and therefore there ought to be skating, il
there isn't. Besides, you know the old
adage about hope springing eternal III the
human breast. Skaters are always hoping
for n cold snap.
But our sales are nowhere near what they
were in January of last wear. Before Christ
mas there was n big run on skates, because
Winter started in with a hurrah.
In consequence of tine mild weather. we
are selling nll our skates Mt a dollar less than
the usual price. Club skates are more in de-
maud than the old fashioned strap skates,
though costing much more.
"lhe fact is, q New Yorker wants the
best every time, and will have It 1t possible;
and thisa applies to skates us well rs to every
thing else. He is not going to let n tritiing
tive-dollar bill stand between him and the
best skate to be had in the market.
Most of our customers are young men
and women. Next come the half-grown boys
and girls. and lastly the oldish people, who
are under the delusion that they are still
youthful and must do as the other youngsters
do. They are the ones who cause merriment
for the young folks by attempting to cut
capers and didoes' as they used to dc twenty
years ago.
Skating is more general now than former.
ly. In proportion. as the ice diminishes, the
number of skaters seem to increase"

now shot mp in jets of black smoke from the
r~epeller, and in a very short time afterwards
the speed of the Lenox slackened SO much
that the ~repeller was able to come up with
her.
When the two vessels were abreast of each
other. and Mt a safe mailing distance apart,
another signal went up from the repeller, and
then both vessels almost ceased to move
through the water, although. the engines of
the Lenox were working at high speed, with
her propeller blades stirring up a whirlpool
at her stern.
For a minute or two the officers of the
Lenox could not comprehend what had
happened. 1t was first. supposed that by
mistake the engines had been slackened. but
almost at the same moment that it was found
that this was not the case, the discovery was
made that the crab accompanying the re-
peller had laid hold of the stern post of the
Lenox. and with all the strength of her
powerful engines was holding her back.
Now burst forth in the Lenox a storm of
frenzied rage, such as was never seen. per-
haps, upon any vessel since vessels were trst
built. From the commander TO the stokers
every heart was filed with fury at the insult
which was put upon them. The commander
reared through his trumpet that If that iu-

n British vessel was in direct violation of the
contract between the United States and the
Syndicate having charge of the war, and that
such action could not he allowed.
The commander of the Lenox paid no more
attention to these words than he Syndicate's
director had given to those he had spoken,
but Immediately commenced n violent attack
upon the crab. II was impossible TO bring
any of the large guns to bear upon her, for
she was almost under the stern of the Lenox,
but every means of ottense which Infatuated
ingenuity could suggest was used against II.
Machine gins wee trained to fire almost
perpendicularly. and shot after shot was
poured upon that portion OF its glistening
back which appeared above the water.

Finding il impossible to make any impress

ers. There was a certain rivalry between the
two ships; and considering the insult offered
by the Haunting red cross in the offing, and
the humiliatlng restrictions imposed by the
Naval Department, each commander thought
only of his own ship, and not at all of the
other.
It was almost at the same time that the
commanders of the two ships sep
arately came to the conclusion that
the proper way TO protect the fleet behind
the Breakwatcr was for his vessel to
boldly steam out to sea and attack the British
cruiser. If this vessel carried a long-range
gun, what was to hinder her from suddenly
running in closer and sending a few shells
into the midst of the defenseless merchant
men? In fact, TO go out and fight her WAS the
only way to protect the lives and property IN

of and get away from him. The Stockbridee
was detained by the arrival of u despatch
boat from the shore with a message from the
Naval Department. But as this message re-
lated only to the measurements of a certain
deck gun, her commander intended as soon
as an answer could be sent off 10 sail out and
give battle to the British vessel.
Every soul on board the Lenox was now
filed with fiery ardor. The ship was already
in good fighting trim, but every possible
preparation was made for q contest which
should show their country and the world
what American sailors were made of.
The Lenox had not proceeded more than a
mile out 10 sea, when she perceived Repeller
No. G coming towards her from seward. and
in q direction which indicated that il Intended
to run across her course. The Lenox, how
ever. went straight on, and in q short time
the two vessels wero quite near each other.
Upon the deck of the repeller now appeared
the director in charge. who, with a speaking
trumpet. hailed the Lenox and requested her
to lay to. as he had something TO communi-
cate. The commander of the Lenox. through
his trumpet, answered that he wanted no
communicate ms, and advised the other vessel
to keep out OF his way,

Iers was sneaking about off the cape, accom-
panied, probably. by an underwater longs
boat. But as neither of these had lone any
thing or seemed likely to do anything. the
British cruiser should be attacked without
loss of time.
When the commander of the Lenox came
to this decision his ship was well abreast of
Cape Henlopen, and he therefore proceeded
directly out to sea. There was a little fear
in his mind that the. English cruiser, which
was now bearing to the southeast. might sail
The evening world., 1889-01-22


windward. which being quickly done the
gun of the latter bore upon the distant
coast.
II was now very plain to the Syndicate
director that his words could have no effect
mon the commander of the LeroN, and he
therefore signalled Grab III TO tow the United
States vessel into port. When the comman-
der of the Lenox saw that his vessel was be-
ginning to move backwards, he gave instant
orders to put on AL steam. But this was
found to be- useless, for when the dynamite
gun was about to be fired the engines had
been ordered stopped, and the moment that
the propeller blades ceased moving the nip
pars of tine crab had been released from their
hold upon the ternpost and the propeller
blades of the Lenox were gently but firmly
seized in q grasp which included the rudder.
II was therefore impossible for the engines
of the vessel TO Teyolve the propeller, and,
unresistingly, the Lenox was towed, stern
foremost, to the Breakwater.
The news of this incident created the Wild
est indignation in the United States Navy,
and throughout the country the condemna-
ton of what was considered the insulting ac-
ton of the Syndicate was general. In for
eicn countries the affair was the subject of q
good deal of comment, but il was also the &C.
casion OF much serious consideration, for II
proved that one of the SyndiCato's submerged
vessels could, without firing a guu, and with
out fear of injury TO itself, capture O man of
war and tow it whittier II pleased.

At the mouth of Delaware Bay, behind the

would consent to return to port. No an

to avoid any complications which might

steamed ahead. while the director signalled
