OUR NAVAL MILITIA.
A BATTALION TO BE ORGANIZED
ON PUGET SOUND.
How The Membership WALL be Se-
cured. The Condition Of the
Naval Reserve in Cali
ifarmia.

Lieut.. W. II. Gorham of Seattle and
Others are interested in organizing a naval
militia in this state, company Of which
is to be organized in Olympia.
"The Naval Battalion is composed of ex.
petty officers and seamen of the United
States navy, engineers, machinists, cleo
tricians, yachtsmen and young business
men. Is it not we'll to hold such men to.
gether in an organized body, so they may
be educated and prepared for possible
future service, and who are ready at a
moments notice to go on board man-of-
war and intelligently execute any orders
the government may deem fit to live? 1t
is the intention that the naval reserve man
shall not only become proficient in certain
infantry tactics, but shall also receive thor
ough instruction in seamanship, nayiga.
ton, gunnery, engineering and torpedo
practice, under the supervision of officers
detailed from the United States navy.
Different successive secretaries of the
navy have recommended the proper estab-
lishment of the naval reserve. Naval
officers themselves are in hearty sympathy
with the movement and the sentiment Of
the business community of the country
generally is that it solves an effective and
economical support Of the nations naval
strength
California, by her legislature, wanted a
rese gye for the navy IN the shape of a
battalion. This has been provided. The
men are all enlisted and undergoing
weekly drills.
"The men were obliged to have drill
room. They put their hands into their
pockets and provided that.
The seamen required practice ship.
The federal government promises one.
"The ship must be properly equipped.
The congressional delegation from Cali
fornia will use their earnest efforts in secur-
ing such equipment.
''rhe men are obligad by law to have
uniforms the same as in the United States
navy. It may be well to here explain that
the uniforms for the commissioned officers
are provided for by themselves.
"The Naval Battalion in California has
received any quantity Of good wishes,
Glad to see you organized, Tt is a good
idea, I heartily approve of it, etc., but
good words, while very encouraging, will
not purchase uniforms nor pay armory
rentand expenses. Western Washington
ought to be able to organize splendid bat
talon and will probably do SO.

PLAYINa A aAME or BLuTr
COFFEE AND TEA.
Some of the ChOicer Grades Never
Sent to this Country.

DChu W UIlb CVWubEys
New York Letter: People are continu-
ally calling at the grocers for Mocha coffee
and many will take no other AS a matter
of fact there are probably not 500 people
in the United States who have ever tasted
real Mocha, and do not believe there is a
single pound Of it to be found between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. The Arabs Of
Arabia, not those of Africa, are the most
fastidious coffee-drinkers i'll the world, and
the crop of Mocha is not large. The gov
ernors and shieks get the pick, the finest
and plumpest berries being chosen for
them. The rich Arabs get the second
choice. The rest is sold throughout the
country and very little, consisting of the
shriyeled and broken berries, finds its way
to Constantinople. Not hundredweight
a year gets west of that city. What is
called Mocha consists Of inferior Arabian
groWths, at least little of it does, and
coffee from Ceylon and Java, most in
ferlor kind. Americans never see the best
tea. None of the finest growth ever leaves
China, and the best of the export goes
overland to Russia, being known as "cara-
van tea" Some of this retaiIs as high as
$50 pound. True caravan tea is never
brought to this country, as it is believed
that sea voyage affects its flavor. Some
of the Ceylon tea ranks as high as the best
Chinese growth. A pound of what Is
known as ''golden tip," grown on famous
estate in Ceylon, was recently sold III Lon.
don for $l35 pound.

A town is judged abroad by its
newspaper, which is the mirror in
which it is held up to view. No
poor town ever supported good
newspaper, and to some extent the
converse is true. A poor newspa-
per cannot live in a vigorous and
flourishing town. 1t would be mis-
placed, misGtted, out of joint with
its surroundings, an incongruity, an
incompatibility, and would perish
with it's birth. And the advertising
columns of the newspapers are the
best indication of the business OF
the town, the most conclusive evi.
dence of it's prosperity; for they
show what is being done now, not
what is going to be done some day
in the dim and distant future. To
them the stranger looks tor the YER
ification of the fine words and pref
ty assurance of the editor and of the
reporter. Where business is too
dead to be proftted by advertising,
there surely is nothing to attract
business investments from other
places. 1t is matter of business
in double sense tor every one ell
gagged in business in any place which
is soliciting the attention of bust
men elsewhere to advertise freely
in their newspaper. thus Inviting
their neigh5ors to deal with them
and at the same time making the
most effective display of the lite and
promise of their town for the eye
and benefit of others who live in
distant communities. Put your ad-
vertisementin THE MARIETTA JOUR-
NAL that people may have a good
business directory of the town.

One OF the greatest curses of socie-
ty as now constituted is that too
many people want to live without
toll. Everybody is willing enough
to be boss, but somebody else must
do the work. Now, this is all wrong
and the result is mortgages and mis-
cry. The Creator never made a
man or woman too good to do fair
share of honest toll, and those who
shirk their duty in this line are only
breeding trouble. There is work to
90 everywhere-in the office, on the
farm, in the store, on the ranch, III
the workshop, at the bank counter
and in all the departments of life.
Blessed is the man who cheertully
and faithfully performs the work his
hands find to do, for therein alone
is the true philosophy and genuine
happiness of this life.

A frightful accident occurred at
Gainesville, Ca, about $50 o'clock
Friday afternoon resulting in the
instant death of Alex. Lindsay, col.
ored, and the probable fatal wound
ing of Andrew Roach, white. and
Perry Saxon, colored. These parties
were in a two-seated hack and drove
on the railroad track just in front of
the Rome Express on the Western
and Atlantic railroad. The vehicle
was completely demolished and one
of the mules was killed. A colored
woman endeavored to stop the men
before they reached the railroad,
but as they were all more or less
under the influence of whisky, they
paid no attention TO the warning.
From the fragments of jugs and
bottles they must have had several
gallons of whisky in the hack. The
accident caused intense excitement.
An immense crowd was quickly at
the scene of the wreck. The hack
was struck about 200 yards south of
the depot. The train was stopped
after going about its own length, and
Conductor Turner and Engineer
Permenter went to the assistance Of
the wounded. 1t seems to be the
general impression that the railroad
men are not responsible for the ac>
cident, as it was clearly case OF
drunken carelessness on the part OF
those who were injured.

and on passing a pond by the road
side where some boys were shooting
frogs his horse became frightened.
He requested the boys not to shoot
any more until he got his horse by

request and began shooting again,
frightening his horse so much that
it ran away, turning the buggy over
and throwing the occupants out.
Smiths neck was broken and he
died instantly. Miss Dawson was
