The record of ship building in New
England for 1891 showed that the sail
ing ship is by no means thing of the
past, even in this country, remarks the
New York Tribune. Iu> England the
returns for the same year are even more
suggestive, the tonnage increase of eight
per cent. being all in sailing vessels.
Sailing vessels, moreover, constituted
twenty-five per cent. Of the total con.
struction of 1891, against nine per cent.
in 1887. The obvious lesson is that a
profitable field still exists for sailing
ships, and that under certain conditions
they are expected to compete successfully
with steamers.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-News has been re-
ceived here of the murder of Bishop
Jones, noted colored preacher in AL
)endaie, S. c., on Thursday night.
Jones formerly preached here, but went
to Allendale to preach sanctitication and
perfect holiness. He succeeded III get

Some of the husbands of the women
objected, and there was division among
the colored people of the town. The
anti holiness people tried to dislodge the
Bishop. They prosecuted him for va
erancy but he made good showing on
the trial, many women testifying that
they willingly contributed to his sup
! port, and that they would give him the
last cent of their earnings if necessary.
Then several men, disguised as wo-
men, waylaid the Bishop at night. He
was bewildered and overwhelmed, s!s ss. =
much feminine attention and readily fell
into the arms of his assailants. A short
time aftward his adherents built church,
in which the Bishop preached.
On Thursday night last service was
going on in what they called the Hol!
Temple. The Bishop had prayed ant

James B. Allen, whom citizens of
Chicago, ILL.,, recognized in 1899 as the
oldest settler by presenting him with a
medal suitably inscribed, indulges in
some interesting "reminiscences. He was
brought to the log settlement in 1888,
being then two years old, by nIs father.
The family caude from oSdensburs, N.
Y. They took up their residence in
little house immef sssly south of the
picket fence surrounding the fort. 1t
was the only house left by the Indians
after the massacre of 1912, aud General
Winfield Scott had once occupied it.
The General presented to the elder Allea
three old cannon, which were afterwards
thrust muzzle down into the ground and
used as hitching posts. Later they were
cast into bell for the court house. Old
Allen built Chicago's first dock, on
River street. "l'he first water works
Chicago had" says his son, "were
operated by Mic Reiss, who peddled
water to the settlers at the price Of
twenty-five cents ho2shead. The
water works consisted Of a two-wheel
cart on which was placed sort of tank,
and the whole arrangement was drawn
by horse which old Nick Reiss used to
drive. A good many years after that
my father aud Virgil G. Walter, under
the firm name of Allen g. Walter, oper-
ated the old hydraulic water works at
the foot of Lake street. The water was
conducted to the city in wooden pipes.
He continues: "I remember the old
ferry across the river where the Rush
Street Bridge is now; it was pulled by
rope attached to windlass on each
bank of the river. There also used to
be ferry where the Lake Street Bridge
now swings. The stage coaches for the
West, which used to make Galena thei'
objective point, used to be ferried across
there" Mr.. Allen remembers the Rrs'
vessel launched in CHICAGO, the Mar
ruerite Allen. It was originally %!
courtesy guuboat, and formed ono o
the fleet that took part in Perry's victor!
on Lake Erie. It was heightened ant
rebuilt az schooner, and In this forr
began its trading career. The first hott
was known as tho Green Tree House
and was built by John Gray. The DIR;
stsanboat to ply ON the lake was th
James Allen, named after the eide
Allen. Mr.. James b. Allen is vetera
OF the war. He claims to be grsa
nephew Of Ethan Allen.
