.BENN|NGTON's TRIP STOPPED.
Sudden and Mysterious Return of
Unole Sans New Gunboat.

Fears were entertained that something was
wrong on the gunboat Bennington. when she
was seen lying In the lower bay, on Sandy
Hook Lighthouse, at daybreak this morning.
What she is lying there for Is a mystery
unless she is disabled, but she has displayed.
no signals OF distress, and this makes the
matter more uncertain.
The Bennington left her anchorage on
Quarantine at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
on her final trial trip. IL was expected that
the vessel would remain at sea at least forty
eight hours 10 make a thorough test OF her
steering gear, compasses, ETC., but she re-
turned at O'Clock last night
No one has come ashore from the vessel,
and consequently no one knows the reason
for the Bennington's unexpected return.
Since no call for assistance has been re-
ceived It is thought that the damage, II an
accident has delayed the test, is OF such
nature that It can be repaired without call
for help.
According TO the provisions OF the contract
the final test OF the Bennington must be made
before Sept. under the supervision
of the Trial Board, consisting OF
Rear Admiral Lewis A. Kimberly,
President; Lieut.. Commander Joseph
W. Hemphill, chief Engineer William G.
Buchler, Lieut. LeaYitt c. Logan and Capt. c.
z, Porter, OF the Marine Corps.
The commander OF the vessel is Royal b.
Bradford.
The contractors OF the Bennington are the
n. r. Palmer, JT., Company. Under the
terms OF the contract $4,000 OF the $780,
900 allowed for building her has been with
held until the proposed final trial
II any weakness or defect In the huh or
machinery should be discovered alterations
VIII be made at the expense OF the con-
tractors The Bennington was fully
equipped for her trial, armed In all respects,
with full complement OF men aud officers.
Al the Brooklyn Navy Yard, CommAndant
Erben said at noon that he had no Ofi1ciAl In
formation about the Bennington. Her trial
trip was being made under orders from Wash
ingtOn, and all reports would be made by the
Kimberly Board TO the Secretary OF the Navy.
Maybe the Bennington came back 20 test
her cOmpaSses after trying the steering gear,
or maybe the weather was too rough Tor the
landSmen ON board who have too much re-
gard for their stomachs," said Capt. Erben.

Mullins's Scheme Failed to Work.
and He, Too. Is Unhappy.
Judge Dugro has been disappointed In his
plans for the extension OF the Savoy Hotel.
which he Is building at the corner OF Fifty
ninth street and Fifth avenue.
The lot just south OF the Savoy is owned ~
the Jeanette Rudd estate, and there = D
frame building on It which Is under lease -
Frank Mullins, who runs a saloon there.
The lot next south OF the saloon Is owned
by Judge Dugro, who recently offered the
Rudd agents $4,000 for the strip OF lana
sandwiched between his lots. He also offered
Mullins S2 800 for his lease.
Mullins saw chance 70 make q stake, as
he thought, and took advantage or II. Under
his lease, which had nearly run out, he was
paying $1,000 a year rental. He offered
10000 a year for new nye-year lease and
got Il. Then the Rudds raised the price OF
the lot To SI25,O0O, and Mullins's price for
his lease went up 10 $4,000.
Judge Dugro has reluctantly abandoned his
project for extending the Savoy, for the
present at least, and Mr.. Mullins is BE-
ginning TO think that his shrewdness may
bring him to grief.

How to Ruin Your Bows,

I. If boy does his work thoroughly
and well, give him harder work. If he
does not do this thoroughly, tell him it
is his own fault, and that he is growing
both stupid and idle.
2. Impress upon him daily that the
object of school work is to do better than
some other boy, or to appear to do so.
3. Do not allow the use of cribs, but
ignore their use.
4. When a boy can do his mathemati-
cal work better than other boys of his
age tell him that he should also be able
to do his classical work better (his mathe-
NAUTICAL faculty will enable him to see
the force of this reasoning).
8. Tell every boy that he ought to
spend three hours on his evening lessons,
but tell his father that they should only
take an hour and half.
6. If a boy sends in better work than
you expect from him, tell him that he
ought to have sent in better work before.
Z. Always tell every boy in the class
that he ought to be higher up than he is.
These rules, if fully and carefully car
ried out, will turn bright boys into dull
ones in a short time, and successfully
confuse their ideas of right and wrong.

The New Continent.

Now if we compare the map of AT
RIGA 10 years ago with the present map,
we find immense changes. No parallel
can be found in the history of the world.
At the present time the whole of the
vast African continent, except the cen.
trail portion surrounding Lake Tchad,
has been divided up, and six states have
allotted themselves immense dependen-
cies. However unprecedented the pro.
ceedings attending this partition have
been, all friends of humanity can but
rejoice at the result In the first place,
the most admirable principles have been
admitted to govern all the central zone,
including free trade, liberty of worship,
equality for all alike, and peace based
on neutrality. Even on soil where the
states pursue their own interests will
arise centers of civilization and prog
ress. One inestimable benefit will re-
suit from this remedy, namely, the sup
preston of the slave trade, which devas-
tates the Dark Continent, and which, it
is calculated, condemns yearly about
half million human beings to death
from i'll treatment or starvation. The
slave trade is, therefore, destined to sue
cumb, for it will cease to profit those
who carry it on. The United States,
which abolished slavery at such an inn
mense cost, can not fail to applaud this
result. In point of fact an entire CONT
nent has just taken its place in the eco
nomic and social world precisely as if
it had just been discovered. No one as
yet can foresee what will be the conse-
quences of these great changes. 1.-THE

The Sicilians Among Us.

An Italian ethnologist, in speaking of
the peculiarities of the Sicilians, says:
"There can be no doubt that there is a
Punic strain in the blood of the Sicilian
people. In ancient times the island of
Malta, which was long held by the Car
thaginians, was the half way station be-
tween Carthage and Sicily, and Sir George
Bowen has recently shown that the NAL
tese are about the last surviving remnant
of the Carthaginian branch of the old
Phoenician people. The base of the NAL
tese language as spoken to-day is Cartha-
gilman, which was spoken by the father
of Hannibal, who was at one time gov
ernor of Malta.
MANY of the Maltese of the Phoenican
stock crossed to Sicily in early times and
mingled with the Latins there for gener-
ations; and some of the peculiarities of
the modern Sicilians that do not belong
to other Italians and that have recently
been much spoken of in the United
States, where there are now many Sicil-
ians, are the outgrowth of this Phceni-
clan strain in their blood.

One of Nat GOOdwin's Jokes.

Nat Goodwin is not only funny on the
stage, but he is very funny in private
life. He is a jokist, as Artemus Ward
would say. Here is one of his practical
Jokes. A party of friends went over to
Philadelphia from New York to see him
act, and Nat got dinner out of them in
this way: The talk had been led by Mr..
Goodwin imperceptibly to conjuring
tricks with cards. Nat said he could do
something in that line himself, and call
ing a waiter asked him to bring new
pack of cards, which the waiter did
Now" said Nat Goodwin, Il am not
touch the cards at all. Just open the
pack and shuttle Them" One of the men
did so.
YOU" he said to another, "pick out a
card and show your friend what it is"
This was also done.
PUT the card in the middle of the
pack" said Goodwin, land shuttle. :"
This being accomplished, Nat Goodwin
said to one of the men: "What day of
the month were you born on?"
THE 10Th" said the man.
"Very well, " said Goodwin, Just take
Is cards off that pack and you'll find the
sixteenth card the one you picked out. ="
"Oh, impossible" replied the crowd.
very well, then," said Nat, Il will bet
you dinner ON it,"
So the dinner was bet and the cards
were picked off the pile, and sure enough
the ace of spades came up, which every
one declared was the card that had been
picked out.
The party was literally amazed at this
trick of conjuring, because Nat Goodwin
had not touched the cards during the
whole time, and as the man who was to
pay for the dinner was the one who said
he was born on the sixteenth of the
month, of course there was no collision
with him. When asked to explain how
it was done, Nat said it was very simple
if you gave your mind to conjuring. All
he had done was to give the waiter pack
of cards before he came in, which pack
was done up as if it were a new set of
cards, then turning the back face up
ward he showed them that every card in
the pack was an ace of spades, so, of
course, it did not make any difference
whether the seventeenth or twenty
seventh card was picked out it was sure
to be the ace of spades.

ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMEN.
1t Is Out of Style Now to BE Sick, or
Delicate, or Even Frail.


All the girls are going in for health and
athletics. They must not-they simply
must not appear sick. They must have
a fine color, bright eyes, glossy hair round
elbows, and long, swinging gait that is
half a dog trot, or some one may be led
to think that they are not marvels of
strength and robustness.
docs this yellow dress make me look
pale or sick?" asked one girl of another
in the street last week. when the sun
shines upon me fancy that the yellow
of my dress makes my complexion appear
bad. Now notice particularly when we
come to the next open space between the
houses, and tell me honestly if you think
l look the least bit sallow."
What shall you do with the dress, if
it is unbecoming?"
why, throw it away, or put it away,
Or give it away, or do something else with
it, of course. l couldn't afford, for the
sake of my position in society, to wear
anything that makes me appear in deli
cate health. shouldn't be invited any
where. 1t wouldn't do at all, you know
it really wouldn't do. 1t is so out of style
to be sick or delicate or even frail in ap-
pearance.
And so the girls to insure the health
which is now SO necessary to their social
standing have provided themselves with
chatelains upon which hang half dozen
boxes of gold or silver, set with jewels
and in which is collection of medicine,
tonics, and more or less stimulating
drugs. A gold chatelaine with six or
seven gold bottles or boxes hanging there
from containing quinine capsules war
ranted to hold the pangs of la grippe at
bay, digestion tablets, laxative lozenges,
purgative pellets, cough drops, silver
coated peppermint cachous, glycerine
cubes, and variety of tonic pills to keep
the system in general good order.
And so, the girls of to-day, besides do
ing everything else for herself, has taken
the reins of her own physical system in
her own hands and bids defiance to the
elements and the doctors, maintaining
that she knows what is what, and how
to take care of each individual ILL.,
